Specific embodiment
Embodiments of the invention are described below in detail, the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, wherein from start to finish
The element that same or similar label represents same or similar element or has same or like function.Below with reference to attached
The embodiment of figure description is exemplary it is intended to be used for explaining the present invention, and is not considered as limiting the invention.
Referring to Fig. 1-Fig. 6, film thickness measuring apparatus 100 according to embodiments of the present invention are described, as Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 institute
Show, this film thickness measuring apparatus 100 substantially may include that mounting platform 10, turntable 20 and slider assembly 30.Turntable 20 and cantilever
Assembly 30 may be contained within mounting platform 10, wherein, slider assembly 30 may include that straight line units 31, cantilever 32, at least one
Probe 40 and actuator (not shown).
Specifically, as depicted in figs. 1 and 2, turntable 20 is rotationally arranged at mounting platform 10.Workpiece is located at turntable 20
Upper surface.Straight line units 31 are oppositely arranged in above-below direction with mounting platform 10.One end of cantilever 32 is connected with straight line units 31,
The other end of cantilever 32 extends to turntable 20 direction, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.The other end that probe 40 is located at cantilever 32 is used for surveying
The film thickness of amount workpiece.Actuator drives cantilever 32 to move along a straight line along straight line units 31, and the measuring point of probe 40 passes through cantilever 32
Linear motion or the rotary motion of turntable 20 be adjusted.
That is, when the film thickness of workpiece being measured by film thickness measuring apparatus 100, workpiece is with turntable 20
Rotation and rotate, probe 40 moves with the linear motion of cantilever 32.I.e. can be by adjusting the movement velocity of cantilever 32
Carry out the measuring point of layout probe 40 with the angular velocity of turntable 20 rotation.Wherein, actuator can be motor, by motor
Control the point-to-point speed of cantilever 32, the every stepping certain distance of cantilever 32, turntable 20 rotates a circle, probe 40 is according to measuring point
Quantitative requirement certain angular interval measures once, after completing a circumference measurement;Cantilever 32 steps to next and measures circumference, probe
40 Film thickness values continuing measurement workpiece, so repeatedly, complete the overall film thickness measurement of workpiece.
Thus, film thickness measuring apparatus 100 according to embodiments of the present invention, turntable 20 and slider assembly 30 be may be contained within
On mounting platform 10, and the linear motion of the rotation by turntable 20 and cantilever 32 come adjust probe 40 measuring point, thus realizing
Measurement to the overall film thickness of workpiece, this film thickness measuring apparatus 100 structure is simple, measurement is convenient.
In some embodiments of the invention, cantilever 32 can be between the primary importance of straight line units 31 and the second position
Move along a straight line, meanwhile, probe 40 moves along the radial outer end of workpiece to radial inner end direction.That is, cantilever 32 is
In moving process between one position and the second position, the measuring point of probe 40 moves to radial inner end direction from the radial outer end of workpiece
Dynamic, thus realizing the measurement to workpiece overall situation film thickness.
In other specific embodiments, film thickness measuring apparatus 100 can also include: mounting seat 50.Mounting seat 50 is located at

Probe 40 is oppositely arranged with mounting seat 50.I.e. workpiece for measurement can measure in same mounting platform 10 with demarcating print, from
And before the film thickness measurement to workpiece starts, probe 40 can first be carried out to the film thickness of the demarcation print in mounting seat 50
Measurement, and as zero reference value, then again the film thickness of workpiece is measured.Thus, it is possible to improve film thickness measurement dress
Put compactedness and the convenience of 100 structures.
Alternatively, when cantilever 32 is located at primary importance, as shown in figure 3, probe 40 projections in the horizontal direction are located at and turn
The outside of platform 20, when cantilever 32 is located at the second position, as shown in figure 4, probe 40 projections in the horizontal direction are located at turntable 20
Inner side.I.e. mounting seat 50 and turntable 20 are disposed on mounting platform 10, pop one's head in 40 when the outside of turntable 20, to installation
Demarcation print film thickness on seat 50 measures, and probe 40, when the inner side of turntable 20, measures to the film thickness of workpiece.
Demarcation print in mounting seat 50 can be changed according to the species of workpiece to be measured, to improve film thickness measuring apparatus 100
The accuracy of measurement.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, cantilever 32 and straight line units 31 are in level side
To being vertically arranged.That is, in the horizontal direction, the bearing of trend of cantilever 32 is different from the bearing of trend of straight line units 31.
I.e. slider assembly 30 development length in the horizontal direction will not change with the change of cantilever 32 position, so that film thickness
The structure of measurement apparatus 100 is compacter and coordinates.
Advantageously, projection in the horizontal direction is misaligned with turntable 20 for straight line units 31.In other words, straight line units 31 with turn
Platform 20 keeps at a certain distance away setting in vertical direction.Thus, it is possible to be easy to mechanical hand 201 to pick and place workpiece from turntable 20, improve
The measurement efficiency of film thickness measuring apparatus 100.Additionally, the periphery of mounting platform 10 can be provided with the loading stage for loading workpiece
202, workpiece can be captured from loading stage 202 and carry out film thickness measurement to turntable 20, after having surveyed, further through machine by mechanical hand 201
Tool handss 201 again workpiece grabbing are back on loading stage 202, so that the measurement of film thickness is simple and convenient, and efficiency high.
Wherein, as depicted in figs. 1 and 2, straight line units 31 can include guide rail 311 and support base 312.Guide rail 311 is located at
On support base 312, cantilever 32 does horizontal direction linear motion along guide rail 311.Wherein, between straight line units 31 and guide rail 311
Adjustable angle.Adjusted vertically square between probe 40 and workpiece by the angle between regulation straight line units 31 and guide rail 311
To distance, thus be adapted to different workpieces film thickness measurement needs.
Alternatively, as Figure 1-Figure 4, film thickness measuring apparatus 100 also include: positioning component 60.Positioning component 60 sets
Turntable 20 is used for positioning workpiece.Positioning component 60 may include that support 61, sucker 62 and alignment pin 63.Sucker 62 is located at
The upper surface of support 61, alignment pin 63 is rotatably arranged on support 61, and workpiece passes through alignment pin 63 and sucker 62 is positioned at and props up
On frame 61.
Alternatively, probe 40 can be eddy current probe and/or optic probe.That is, can be independent on cantilever 32
Setting eddy current probe or optic probe, as shown in figure 3, can also arrange eddy current probe and optics spy simultaneously on cantilever 32
Head, as shown in Figure 4.Wherein, eddy current probe 40 can be used for the measurement to thickness of metal film, and optic probe 40 can be used for non-gold
Belong to the measurement of film thickness.By arranging eddy current probe 40 and optic probe 40 so that film thickness measuring apparatus 100 simultaneously
There is the function of measurement thickness of metal film and non-metallic film thickness simultaneously.
