After the crucible 3 enters part of the enclosed space, the situation that the crucible 3 tilts and falls due to the absence of the limiting block 2 at the notch 1013 is avoided.
[0034] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , at least two notches 1013 are arranged at equal radii with the center point of the support plate 101 as the center to realize the supporting effect of the crucible 3 in different directions. It should be noted that the number of notches 1013 in the embodiment is three.

The sliding rod 102 passes through the through hole. By providing the fixed plate 105, the sliding rod 102 drives the support plate 101 to slide along the height direction along the through hole, and when in the limiting state, the second surface 1015 is in surface contact with the blocking portion 205, so that the blocking portion 205 blocks the support plate 101. It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 8 , one end of the limiting rod 104 is fixed on the surface of the fixed plate 105, and the limiting block 2 is connected between the fixed plate 105, for example, after the limiting block 2 is assembled, a bolt is provided in the long hole 206 of the limiting block 2 to be fixedly connected with the fixed plate 105.

It should be noted that the radius of the connecting plate 103 is smaller than the radius of the arc surface of the blocking portion 205.
[0044] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the lifting assembly 4 further comprises a power element 402 arranged on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 105, and a driving end 401 connected with the power element 402, the driving end 401 drives the sliding rod 102 to lift.
