Substrate elevating equipment and fore-set mechanism thereof
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of fore-set mechanism, particularly relevant for a kind of fore-set mechanism that is applied to a substrate elevating equipment.
Background technology
With reference to Fig. 1 a, it is the platform 1 that shows in the known substrate elevating equipment, is formed with a plurality of through holes 2 on the platform 1.Substrate 3 promptly is placed on this platform 1.Collocation is with reference to Fig. 1 b, be provided with fore-set 4 in the through hole 2, fore-set 4 can move to a second place (position that Fig. 1 b is shown) from a primary importance (position that Fig. 1 a is shown), rises among the through hole 2 and raises substrate 3, picks and places this substrate 3 with a convenient mechanical arm (not shown).
With reference to Fig. 2 a, it is the detail structure of the known fore-set of demonstration mechanism 10, and fore-set mechanism 10 comprises a body 11, a driver element 12, this fore-set 4 and a cylinder 13.Fore-set 4 is located on the body 11, and when cylinder 13 upwards promoted driver element 12 with cylinder rod 131, driver element 12 promoted this fore-set 4 and moves up.Collocation is with reference to Fig. 2 b, and driver element 12 is a flat board, can promote a plurality of fore-sets 4 simultaneously.
In known technology, when desiring to make this fore-set 4 from this second site reversion to this primary importance, the cylinder rod 131 of this cylinder 13 descends and driver element 12 is descended, and this moment, fore-set 4 dropped down onto this second place automatically because of the effect of gravity.Yet, as shown in Fig. 2 c, the particulate that is produced during owing to processing substrate, for example, separation material (spacer) can fall among the through hole 2 and increases friction force between fore-set 4 and through hole 2 inwalls, so can cause fore-set 4 can't fall the situation of primary importance smoothly after rise.So can cause the inclination of substrate 3, reduce the degree of uniformity of substrate 3 on handling, and reduce the qualification rate of product.

Preferably, this fore-set comprises a cylinder and a guide portion, and this guide portion connects this cylinder, and this cylinder passes this first through hole, and this guide portion extends into this guide groove.
Preferably, this guide portion is passed this guide groove.
Preferably, this elastic element is arranged on this guide portion.
Preferably, this body more comprises a fixed part, is located on this second section portion, and this elastic element is a spring, and an end of this spring is connected to this guide portion, and the other end of this spring is connected to this fixed part.
Preferably, this substrate elevating equipment is applied to a separation material dissemination apparatus.
Use the present invention, fore-set is fallen after rise smoothly to primary importance, therefore can avoid the inclination of substrate, promote the degree of uniformity of substrate on handling, and improve the qualification rate of product.

The specific embodiment
With reference to Fig. 3 a, it is a demonstration fore-set of the present invention mechanism 20, comprises a body 21, a fore-set 22, an elastic element 23, a driver element and a cylinder 13.Fore-set 22 is located on this body 21.Driver element 12 is replaced fore-set 22.Cylinder 13 sees through cylinder rod 131 and connects driver element 12.Elastic element 23 is located on this fore-set 22 and this body 21.At this is simplified illustration, therefore omits to show this fore-set mechanism 20 proximity structure on every side.
Body 21 comprises one first section portion 211 and one second section portion 212, and this first section portion 211 connects this second section portion 212, and second section portion of this first section portion 211 and this 212 is vertical mutually.This body 21 more comprises one first through hole 213, a guide groove 214 and a fixed part 215.This first through hole 231 is opened on this first section portion 211.This guide groove 214 is strip and is opened on this second section portion 212.This fixed part 215 is located on this second section portion 212, and is positioned at the below of this guide groove 214.
This fore-set 22 comprises that a cylinder 221 and draws 1 and leads portion 222, and this guide portion 222 connects this cylinder 221, and vertical mutually with this cylinder 221.This cylinder 221 passes this first through hole 213.This guide portion 222 extends through this guide groove 214.
This elastic element 23 is a spring, and an end of this elastic element 23 connects this guide portion 222, and simultaneously, the other end of this elastic element 23 connects this fixed part 215.
Collocation is with reference to Fig. 3 a and 3b, and the cylinder rod 131 of this cylinder 13 can make this fore-set 22 move between a primary importance (position that Fig. 3 a is shown) and the second place (position that Fig. 3 b is shown).When desiring with 22 pairs of substrates of fore-set (not shown) when supporting, this cylinder rod 131 and this driver element 12 can raise this fore-set 22 to this second place from this primary importance along a first direction y.When desire was removed the support of 22 pairs of substrates of fore-set (not shown), cylinder rod 131 and this driver element 12 descended, and simultaneously, this elastic element 23 is pulled down to this primary importance with this fore-set 22 from this second place along one second direction-y.23 pairs of these fore-sets 22 of this elastic element provide an elastic force, and the action direction of this elastic force is same as this second direction-y.This second direction-y is in contrast to this first direction y.
With reference to Fig. 4, among the platform 1 ' that fore-set of the present invention mechanism 20 can be located in the substrate elevating equipment.The surface of platform 1 ' is provided with a plurality of second through holes 2.Wherein, when desire rising substrate 3, fore-set 22 rises and passes second through hole 2 with supporting substrate 3.
This substrate elevating equipment can be applicable to a separation material (spacer) dissemination apparatus.
In the above-described embodiments, disclosed with the enforcement sample attitude of spring as elastic element, so it does not limit the present invention.Under spirit of the present invention, also can see through air cylinder or the time alternate manner such as magnetic element elastic force is provided.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, spring provides the elastic force of at least 400 grams, to overcome the friction force between fore-set 22 and second through hole, 2 inwalls.
Use the present invention, fore-set is fallen after rise smoothly to primary importance, therefore can avoid the inclination of substrate, promote the degree of uniformity of substrate on handling, and improve the qualification rate of product.
Though the present invention discloses as above with concrete preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; anyly have the knack of this skill person; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; still can do a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking claims person of defining.
