and the moving part is connected with the controller and is used for responding to the target control signal and moving along the extending direction of the shaft so as to drive the middle nest part to move along the extending direction of the shaft.
11. The polishing liquid supply apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the target control signal includes a turn-up control signal and a turn-down control signal; the moving part includes:
the servo motor is connected with the controller and used for responding to the enlargement control signal, moving along the extending direction of the shaft and in the direction close to the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, and driving the middle nest part to move along the extending direction of the shaft and in the direction close to the outlet end of the communicating pipe part so as to increase the opening of the fan-shaped outlet part; or (b)
And the device is used for responding to the reduction control signal, moving along the extending direction of the shaft and in the direction away from the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, and driving the middle nest part to move along the extending direction of the shaft and in the direction away from the outlet end of the communicating pipe part so as to reduce the opening of the fan-shaped outlet part.
12. The polishing liquid supply apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the control signal includes a turn-up control signal and a turn-down control signal; the moving part includes:
a cam connected to the controller, the rotation surface of the cam intersecting the polishing pad;
the cam is used for responding to the enlargement control signal, so that the protruding part of the cam rotates along the direction close to the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, and the middle nest part is driven to move along the extending direction of the shaft and the direction close to the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, so that the opening degree of the fan-shaped outlet part is increased; or (b)
And the device is used for responding to the reduction control signal, so that the protruding part of the device rotates along the direction away from the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, and drives the middle nest part to move along the extending direction of the shaft and the direction away from the outlet end of the communicating pipe part, thereby reducing the opening of the fan-shaped outlet part.
