A cylinder 902 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 1 , and the output end of the cylinder 902 is movably connected to the bottom of the sealing cover plate 901 .

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The right side of the three-way pipe 6 is connected with a high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5, and the right side of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5 is connected with a tail three-way pipe 4. A pneumatic actuator 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5, and the output end of the pneumatic actuator 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5. The connection between the tail three-way pipe 4 and the three-way pipe 6 is realized by the setting of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5. The opening and closing of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5 is realized by the setting of the pneumatic actuator 3, and then the conduction between the tail three-way pipe 4 and the three-way pipe 6 is realized, so as to realize the vacuuming of the interior of the single crystal furnace, and the air inside is extracted to prevent the air from oxidizing the melted silicon. The model of the high vacuum pneumatic ball valve 5 in this scheme is TCH-SKT0001.
