The transfer device further comprises a motion conversion mechanism 400, and the motion conversion mechanism 400 has the following functions: the support 200 is forced to rotate about the rotation axis X by the linear reciprocating motion of the support 200. That is, the requirement of two position changing of rotation and translation of the tray 700 can be completed by one driving part 300, which is beneficial to realizing the multifunction of the transfer device, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

The motion conversion mechanism 400 is connected to the support frame 200, and is located on a side of the substrate 100 away from the support frame 200. Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the motion conversion mechanism 400 at least includes a crank 410 and a carrier 420 with a sliding slot 421, wherein the carrier 420 is disposed below the crank 410. One end of the crank 410 is fixedly connected with the support frame 200 to form a whole with the support frame 200, thereby enabling the support frame 200 to rotate about the rotation axis X when the crank 410 rotates about the rotation axis X.

Wherein the non-trigger segment 4211 is configured such that the crank 410 remains in a set posture, the above-mentioned "hold set posture" means: the support 200 and the crank 410 have no rotational freedom, and the support 200 and the crank 410 are driven by the substrate 100 to do linear motion, i.e. the support 200 and the crank 410 only have translational motion at this time, so that the tray 700 can be translated from one position to another.

Wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first direction may be a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction; similarly, the second direction may be a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the non-trigger segment 4211 includes a first non-trigger segment connected to the first end M, and a second non-trigger segment connected to the second end N, where the first non-trigger segment and the second non-trigger segment are located on the same line.

second movement phase: under the action of the driving part 300, the supporting frame 200 continues to move rightward, the follower 411 is limited by the chute 421, and moves from the first end M to the intersection end O, so that the crank 410 rotates by a certain angle, and the supporting frame 200 and the tray 700 are driven to synchronously rotate, and at this time, the position of the marking point Q is shown in fig. 10;

third movement phase: the follower 411 moves to the junction O, at which the crank 410, the support frame 200 and the tray 700 are rotated by 90 ° from the initial positions, at which the position of the marking point Q is shown in fig. 11;

fourth movement phase: under the action of the driving part 300, the support frame 200 continues to move rightward, the follower 411 moves from the intersection end O to the second end N, and the follower 411 is limited by the chute 421, so that the crank 410 continues to drive the support frame 200 to rotate, and at this time, the position of the marking point Q is shown in fig. 12;
