The outer sides of the output shafts of the electric push rods 301 on the left and right sides are slidably inserted into the bottom of the plug-in brackets 303 on the left and right sides. The left and right sides of the lower surface of the furnace cover 302 are fixed with connecting rods 304. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 304 on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper surface of the first placement plate 2. The bottom wall of the inner cavity of the inner furnace shell 5 is fixed with a support block 305. The lower surface of the first placement plate 2 is in contact with the upper surface of the support block 305. The two connecting rods 304 and the furnace cover 302 are all made of tungsten metal material, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance.
[0027] Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 also includes an exhaust pipe connected to the upper surface of the furnace cover 302. A thermometer is provided on the left side of the upper surface of the furnace cover 302. The electric push rods 301 on the left and right sides are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the longitudinal central axis of the well furnace body 1. The outer side of the output shaft of the electric push rods 301 on the left and right sides can be removed from the inside of the plug-in brackets 303 on the left and right sides.
[0028] It should be noted that by simultaneously activating the electric push rods 301 on both the left and right sides, the electric push rods 301 push the furnace cover 302, the two connecting rods 304, and the first placement plate 2 upward through the plug-in bracket 303. When the first placement plate 2 rises to the upper side of the inner furnace shell 5, the output shaft of the electric push rod 301 stops driving upward. At this time, the workpiece to be heated can be placed on the upper surface of the first placement plate 2. Subsequently, the electric push rod 301 simultaneously drives the furnace cover 302, the connecting rods 304, and the first placement plate 2 downward until the lower surface of the first placement plate 2 contacts the upper surface of the support block 305. At this time, the electric push rod 301 is turned off, and several silicon carbide rods 6 are activated to heat the workpiece. After heating is completed, the electric push rod 301 is activated again to push the heated workpiece upward to the upper side of the inner furnace shell 5, making it easier to remove the workpiece and thus reducing the tediousness of manual operation.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 4 includes four first insertion holes 401 formed on the upper surface of the first placement plate 2.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting mechanism 4 also includes four second insertion holes 404 on the upper surface of the second placement plate 403. Each of the four second insertion holes 404 has a second support rod 405 slidably inserted inside. The top of each of the four second support rods 405 is fixed with a third placement plate 406. The first placement plate 2, the second placement plate 403 and the third placement plate 406 are all alumina ceramic plates. The four first insertion holes 401 are rectangularly distributed on the upper surface of the first placement plate 2. The first support rod 402 and the second support rod 405 are both made of tungsten metal, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance.

When the first placement plate 2 rises to the upper side of the inner furnace shell 5, the output shaft of the electric push rod 301 stops driving upwards. At this time, the workpiece to be heated can be placed on the upper surface of the first placement plate 2. Subsequently, the electric push rods 301 simultaneously drive the furnace cover 302, the connecting rods 304, and the first placement plate 2 downwards until the lower surface of the first placement plate 2 is reached. When the workpiece is in contact with the upper surface of the support block 305, the electric push rod 301 is turned off and several silicon carbide rods 6 are started to heat the workpiece. After heating is completed, the electric push rod 301 is started again to push the heated workpiece upward to the upper side of the inner furnace shell 5, so as to facilitate the removal of the workpiece and reduce the tediousness of manual operation. Workpieces can be placed on the upper surface of the second placement plate 403 and the third placement plate 406. Multiple workpieces can be heated. The second placement plate 403 and the third placement plate 406 can be pulled upward for disassembly.
