The abutting block 17 is elastically reset by the compression spring 18 to drive the abutting block 17 to move outward, so as to drive the push rod 9 to pull the clamping jaw 10 to open, and the silicon carbide crystal is released.
[0041] When the taking mechanism works, the external refrigeration device starts, and the refrigerant is transported into the refrigeration pipe 20 through the external pipe 23.
