General action except above-mentioned levitation transportation device 1, because (in other words the 1st float conveyer 3, the 1st straight portion of levitation transportation device 1) ordered state that a plurality of in are floated unit 17 is for being staggered, so do not have width in the 1st straight portion of levitation transportation device 1 and to transmit width roughly the same and do not bring into play by floating the non-floating zone of working of floating effect that unit 17 produces.Equally, because (in other words the 2nd float conveyer 5, the 2nd straight portion of levitation transportation device 1) ordered state that a plurality of in are floated unit 29 is for being staggered, so do not have width in the 2nd straight portion of levitation transportation device 1 and to transmit width roughly the same and do not bring into play by floating the non-floating zone of working of floating effect that unit 29 produces.
And, direction of transfer transfer device 7 (in other words, the bight of levitation transportation device 1) it is consistent with the intersection point of a plurality of imaginary the 2nd parallel lines VCP with a plurality of imaginary the 1st parallel lines VP that the major part in is floated the unit center of unit 45, so do not have width on the bight of levitation transportation device 1 and to transmit width roughly the same and do not bring into play by floating the non-floating zone of working of floating effect that unit 45 produces.Because same reason, the 1st direction of transfer D1's in the bight of levitation transportation device 1 floats floating performance and can remaining roughly the same level of performance and the 2nd direction of transfer D2.
As above-mentioned, pass through embodiments of the present invention, do not produce the non-floating zone of working on the 1st straight portion of levitation transportation device 1, the 2nd straight portion and the bight, even so the thin plate W that will very easily be out of shape with float state when direction of transfer transmits, the part that also can fully suppress thin plate W is floated the interference of 17,29,43 edges, unit, can improve the operating efficiency that levitation transportation device 1 transmits thin plate W.
Particularly the 1st direction of transfer D1's in the bight of levitation transportation device 1 floats floating performance and can remaining roughly the same level of performance and the 2nd direction of transfer D2, so in the bight of levitation transportation device 1, the direction of transfer of thin plate W can be changed to the 2nd direction of transfer D2 from the 1st direction of transfer D1, can further be improved the operating efficiency that levitation transportation device 1 transmits thin plate W.
The present invention is not limited to the explanation of above-mentioned embodiment, for example uses the unit that floats that makes by super sonic that thin plate W floats to replace floating unit 17,29,45 by what air pressure made that thin plate W floats; In direction of transfer transfer device 7, alternative direction of transfer with thin plate W is converted to the 2nd direction of transfer D2 perpendicular to the 1st direction of transfer D1, and is converted to other the 2nd direction of transfers D2 that is different from the 1st direction of transfer D1, or the like.Can both implement by variety of way.
The present invention is not limited to above-mentioned invention embodiment, can be carried out the enforcement of other modes by suitable change.Claim of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
The full content of Japanese patent application 2007-189569 number (application on July 20th, 2007) is included in the present specification by reference.
