Detailed description of the invention
By reference to the accompanying drawings and consult following embodiment will know content main idea of the present invention comprehensively and reach repeat realize object:
Fig. 1-2 gives the perspective view of two different angles of the specific embodiment of the invention.This lifting rotation mechanism mainly comprises three parts, is respectively lifting module 11, rotating module 12 and crane 13.In addition, this embodiment is also provided with a platform 101, upright barrel 102 and a swing arm 103.Platform 101 is fixed on lifting module 11, will prop up platform, cannot continue upwards to rise when rotating module 12 rises to certain position with crane 13.Leave circular cavity in the middle position of platform 101, embed when rising for rotating module 12.Upright barrel 102 is arranged on rotating module 12 as the support column of swing arm 103, rotating module 12 can be followed rotate together, its other end connects swing arm 103, can drive the lifting of swing arm like this when being elevated module 11 and rising or decline, and the rotary motion of rotating module 12 also can drive upright barrel 102 rotate and then realize the swing of swing arm 103.Different functional parts being installed in swing arm 103, can realize lifting and the rotary motion of various device, such as, can be manipulator, constitutes a process machinery people that can be elevated and rotate; Can be also such as nozzle, constitute an overall spreader nozzle that can be elevated and rotate.This lifting rotation mechanism that can freely be elevated and rotate is suitable for being arranged in the middle of semiconductor equipment very much, forms various functional part.
Lifting module 11 in this embodiment employs servomotor 201 as the device providing power, can certainly be stepper motor.Because semiconductor equipment needs automation usually, so generally do not adopt manpower to provide power.Servomotor 201 is positioned at the outermost of whole lifting module 11, is all fixed by metallic plate up and down.The bottom of servomotor 201 is connected on one group of belt driver, and energy and forms of motion are passed to the helicoidal gear of lifting module 11 by the servomotor 201 of High Rotation Speed by this belt driver, and then complete lifting action.The belt driver that this embodiment adopts comprises small one and large one two belt wheels and the driving-belt 202 of a slat gum material.Wherein large belt wheel 203 is 1.5:1 with the ratio of small pulley 204 radius, can certainly be other suitable ratios, because proportionate relationship can be determined, add that the power of servomotor 201, rotating speed are all standards, so degree very accurately can be reached when the height regulating lifting module 11 to rise or decline, meet the requirement of semicon industry to precision.This belt driver both can be friction-type also can be engagement type, and driving-belt 202 and two belt wheels also can be replaced chain and gear.
