Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following describes in detail a lift driving device and a semiconductor apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, the lifting driving device provided in this embodiment includes a lifting mechanism 1, the lifting mechanism 1 is used for driving a workbench 2 to perform lifting motion, and the lifting mechanism 1 may have various specific structures, for example, includes a screw driving assembly 11 and a guiding assembly 12, wherein the screw driving assembly 11 includes a vertically arranged screw and a motor for driving the screw to rotate, and a moving member (for example, a nut) matched with the screw is disposed on the screw, the moving member is connected with the workbench 2, and when the motor drives the screw to rotate, the moving member drives the workbench 2 to perform lifting motion along an axial direction of the screw.
In the present embodiment, the lifting mechanisms 1 are four sets and are distributed at four corner positions near the rectangular table 2 to be able to uniformly apply the driving force to the table 2. Of course, in practical applications, the number and distribution of the lifting mechanisms 1 can be freely set according to the actual shape and size of the worktable 2.
Optionally, the lifting mechanism 1 is provided with a self-locking device, and the self-locking device is used for locking the workbench 2 at the current position when the lifting mechanism 1 is powered off or fails, so as to ensure the safety of the equipment.
The specific structure of the guide assembly 12 may be various, for example, the guide assembly includes a guide rail vertically arranged and a slider capable of sliding along the guide rail, and the slider is connected to the moving member of the lifting mechanism 1, so that the moving member can be lifted along the guide rail. In the present embodiment, the number of the guide assemblies 12 is four, and each set of the guide assemblies 12 is disposed on one side of each set of the lifting mechanism 1 in a one-to-one correspondence.
The above-mentioned working table 2 is applied to, for example, carrying and fixing the liquid crystal screen, and the working table 2 usually fixes the liquid crystal screen in an adsorption manner, as shown in fig. 1, a plurality of adsorption holes 21 are uniformly distributed on the table top of the working table 2 for adsorbing the liquid crystal screen. In order to ensure the absorption effect and avoid the relative displacement of the liquid crystal screen, the flatness of the worktable 2 is required to meet the requirements (for example, less than +/-0.1 mm).
However, only relying on the lifting mechanism 1 to synchronously drive the workbench 2 can not ensure that the flatness of the workbench 2 meets the requirements, particularly for the workbench with large size and weight, the workbench is easy to generate plastic deformation, so that the flatness of the workbench is poor, the lifting mechanism 1 has large load, is easy to wear, has large dust emission amount in a microenvironment, and causes pollution damage to a clean environment.
In order to solve the above problem, the lift driving device provided by the present embodiment further includes a balance mechanism 3 for maintaining the levelness of the table 2 within a preset range. The balance mechanism is used for assisting in supporting the workbench 2, increasing supporting points and sharing part of the gravity of the workbench 2 on the basis that the lifting mechanism 1 applies main driving force to the workbench 2, so that the plastic deformation of the workbench 2 can be reduced; simultaneously, can also reduce elevating system 1's load, guarantee above-mentioned elevating system 1 constant torque output to can reduce elevating system 1's wearing and tearing (for example lead screw wearing and tearing), thereby reduce the microenvironment and send the dust volume, improve the environment cleanliness factor.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the balancing mechanism 3 includes a plurality of cylinders 31 and a pressure control module 4, wherein the plurality of cylinders 31 are arranged separately with respect to the table 2, and each cylinder 31 has a vertically arranged piston member 32, an upper end of which piston member 32 is used to support the table 2. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the cylinders 31 is four, and the number of the cylinders is the same as that of the lifting mechanisms 1, and the supporting points of the four piston members 32 for supporting the table 2 are close to the connecting positions of the lifting mechanisms 1 and the table 2, so that the auxiliary supporting function of the four piston members 32 can be applied to the four lifting mechanisms 1 in a one-to-one correspondence. Alternatively, the support point of the piston member 32 for supporting the table 2 is located close to the inner side of the guide assembly 12.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the balance mechanism 3 further includes a plurality of floating connection members 33, each floating connection member 33 being in floating connection with the upper end of each piston member 32 in a one-to-one correspondence, the piston members 32 supporting the table 2 via the floating connection members 33. By means of the floating connection 33, it is possible to allow a certain amount of tilting of the table 2 or a certain amount of eccentricity of the piston member 32, for example 2mm, so that it is ensured that the cylinder 31 and the piston member 32 will still function properly in the presence of the above-mentioned amount of tilting or eccentricity and bending or wear of the piston member 32 is avoided. The floating connector 33 is, for example, a floating connector or any other floating connector.
In the present embodiment, the pressure control module 4 is used for controlling the gas pressure in each cylinder 31 to ensure the pressure consistency of the plurality of cylinders 31, and specifically, the pressure control module 4 is connected to each cylinder 31 and is used for controlling the gas pressure in each cylinder 31 so that each piston member 32 can apply the same supporting force to the table 2, and the pressure control module 4 is used for exhausting the gas flowing out from the cylinder 31 to the atmosphere when the gas pressure in any cylinder 31 is greater than the pressure set value corresponding to the supporting force so as to maintain the gas pressure in each cylinder 31 at the pressure set value. That is, with the pressure control module 4 described above, the gas pressures in the plurality of cylinders 31 can be maintained at the same pressure setting value, thereby enabling the plurality of piston members 32 to apply the same supporting force to the table 2; meanwhile, during the lowering of the table 2, there may be a case where the gas pressure in the cylinder 31 is increased by discharging the gas flowing out from the cylinder 31 into the atmosphere, so that the gas pressure in the cylinder 31 is again equal to the above-mentioned pressure set value. Thereby, the pressure uniformity of the plurality of cylinders 31 can be ensured. Moreover, because pressure control module 4 can be with the gaseous atmospheric environment of emitting of cylinder in, this can save gas storage equipment (be used for the gaseous of buffer memory cylinder outflow) to occupation space can be reduced, it provides convenience to overhaul.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the pressure control module 4 includes a gas source 46, a plurality of first gas paths 41, and a relief valve 42 provided on each first gas path 41, wherein the gas source 46 includes a gas supply device 461, a main path connected to the gas supply device 461, and a main path pressure maintaining valve 462 and a main path on-off valve 463 provided on the main path; the input end of each first air path 41 is connected to the air supply 46 (i.e., the output end of the main path), and the output end of each first air path 41 is connected to each cylinder 31 in a one-to-one correspondence. The gas supplied from the gas source 46 may be input into the cylinder 31 via each of the first gas paths 41, or the gas in the cylinder 31 may be returned via the first gas path 41.
The relief valve 42 is used to control the gas pressure in the first gas passage 41 at the output end of the relief valve 42, corresponding to the gas pressure in the control cylinder 31, so as to be stabilized at the above-mentioned pressure set value; meanwhile, the relief valve 42 has a relief function of discharging the gas flowing out of the cylinder 31 into the atmosphere when the gas pressure in the cylinder 31 is higher than a pressure set value corresponding to the supporting force. That is, when the gas in the first air passage 41 flows from the gas source 46 to the cylinder 31, the relief valve 42 functions to stabilize the pressure; conversely, when the gas in the first gas passage 41 flows in the direction from the cylinder 31 to the gas source 46, the relief valve 42 functions as an overflow. With such a characteristic of the relief valve 42 as described above, it is possible to ensure that the pressure output from the cylinder 31 during the raising and lowering of the table 2 is constant, so that a stable supporting force can be applied to the table 2. Further, the relief valve 42 may further include a pressure trimming unit for adjusting the magnitude of the pressure set value. By fine-adjusting the pressure set value of each relief valve 42 in this way, the pressure uniformity of the plurality of cylinders 31 can be further improved.
When the table 2 is in a rest state, the gas source 46 is turned on to supply gas into the gas cylinder 31 until the gas pressure in the gas cylinder 31 is stabilized at a pressure set value, at which time the piston member 32 applies a vertically upward, constant supporting force to the table 2, which is smaller than the gravity of the table 2.
When the worktable 2 is in the ascending state, the air source 46 continuously supplies air, the air pressure in the air cylinders 31 is still stabilized at the pressure set value, and the piston rods 32 of the air cylinders 31 can synchronously extend along with the ascending of the worktable 2 and always keep applying constant supporting force to the worktable 2 because the supporting force is smaller than the gravity of the worktable 2.
When the work table 2 is in the descending state, the air supply 46 continues to supply air, the piston rods 32 of the plurality of air cylinders 31 retract, the instantaneous air pressure in the air cylinders 31 tends to rise and is greater than the pressure set value, and the air in the air cylinders 31 overflows and overflows to the atmosphere through the bypass inside the overflow relief valve 42 until the air pressure in the air cylinders 31 is equal to the pressure set value again. Compared with the gas buffered by the gas storage device, the overflow pressure reducing valve 42 can stabilize the gas pressure in the cylinder 31 at a pressure set value all the time, has higher reliability, can avoid the generation of heat energy due to the rise of the pressure in the gas storage device, and can avoid the generation of adverse effects on a temperature field in the device, and can reduce the occupied space and provide convenience for maintenance.
The type of relief valve 42 may be varied, including, for example, a digital relief valve. The digital overflow reducing valve has high precision and strong pressure stabilizing capacity. Optionally, the digital relief valve includes a display for displaying a pressure set point of the relief valve 42, and the displayed pressure set point includes three decimal places, for example, 0.489 MPa.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the pressure control module 4 further includes a second air path 44 corresponding to the first air path 41, and two ends of the second air path 44 are respectively connected to two ends of the relief valve 42; each of the second gas passages 44 is provided with a check valve 45, and the check valve 45 is configured to allow the gas in the second gas passage 44 to flow in one direction from the cylinder 41 to the gas source 46. Thus, when the relief valve 42 is out of order, the gas overflowed from the cylinder 31 can be returned to the gas source 46 via the second gas path 44, so that the safety of the apparatus can be improved.
In the present embodiment, each first air passage 41 is further provided with an on-off valve 43 for turning on or off the first air passage 41 in which the on-off valve 43 is located. The on-off valve 43 is, for example, a normally open solenoid valve. By means of the on-off valve 43, independent commissioning and servicing of the individual cylinders 31 can be achieved.
Second embodiment
As shown in fig. 4, the present embodiment provides a lifting driving device, which is different from the first embodiment only in that: in the pressure control module 4', the relief valve 421 and the relief valve 422 are used instead of the relief valve 42 in the first embodiment described above.
Specifically, the pressure reducing valve 421 is provided on the first gas passage 41, and is configured to control the gas pressure in the first gas passage 41 at the output end of the pressure reducing valve 421, which corresponds to the gas pressure in the control cylinder 31, so as to be stabilized at the above-mentioned pressure set value; the relief valve 422 is located between the pressure reducing valve 421 and the cylinder 31, and discharges the gas flowing out of the cylinder 31 into the atmosphere. When the gas in the first air passage 41 flows from the gas source 46 to the cylinder 31, the pressure reducing valve 421 plays a role of pressure stabilization; conversely, when the gas in the first gas passage 41 flows in the direction from the cylinder 31 to the gas source 46, the relief valve 422 functions as a relief. This also ensures that the pressure output by the air cylinder 31 is constant during the lifting of the table 2, so that a stable supporting force can be applied to the table 2.
Similar to the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the pressure control module further includes second air paths 44, the second air paths 44 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the first air paths 41, and two ends of each second air path 44 are respectively connected to two ends of the pressure reducing valve 421; each of the second gas passages 44 is provided with a check valve 45, and the check valve 45 is configured to allow the gas in the second gas passage 44 to flow in one direction from the cylinder 41 to the gas source 46.
Other structures and functions of the lifting driving device provided in this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein again because they have been described in detail in the first embodiment.
