另一方面,各個升降機構80C為嵌入至形成於驅動力傳遞機構80B的滑動孔88的凸部。所述凸部形成於框構件7的外周部。On the other hand, each of the elevating mechanisms 80C is a convex portion fitted into a sliding
而且,當驅動力傳遞機構80B與驅動源的驅動力聯動地水平移動時,嵌入至滑動孔88的凸部在嵌入至滑動孔88的狀態下從滑動孔88的端部88A(或端部88B)向端部88B(或端部88A)平滑地移動並升降。Furthermore, when the driving
由此,和升降機構80C連結的框構件7、進而由框構件7從下方支撐的升降銷6與由驅動源的驅動引起的升降機構80C的升降驅動聯動地升降。Thereby, the
再者,驅動力傳遞機構及升降機構的結構除此以外還可假定多種結構。例如,也可設為使用曲柄臂或滾珠絲杠等將旋轉驅動馬達的旋轉驅動轉換為升降驅動的機構的組合。另外,也可沿著框構件7的周向拉伸帶、鏈條或線等,由此傳遞旋轉驅動馬達的驅動力。或者,也可使多個齒輪沿著框構件7的周向連結,由此傳遞旋轉驅動馬達的驅動力。In addition, various structures other than the structures of the driving force transmission mechanism and the elevating mechanism can be assumed. For example, a combination of a mechanism that converts the rotational drive of the rotational drive motor into the lift drive using a crank arm, a ball screw, or the like may be employed. In addition, a belt, a chain, a wire, or the like may be stretched along the circumferential direction of the
<關於由以上所記載的實施方式產生的效果> 接著,示出由以上所記載的實施方式產生的效果的例子。再者,在以下的說明中,基於以上所記載的實施方式中例示的具體結構來記載所述效果,但也可在產生同樣的效果的範圍內,與本申請說明書中例示的其他具體結構置換。<About the effects of the above-described embodiment> Next, an example of the effect produced by the embodiment described above is shown. In addition, in the following description, the above-mentioned effects are described based on the specific structures exemplified in the above-described embodiments, but the effects may be replaced with other specific structures exemplified in the specification of the present application within the scope of producing the same effects. .
根據以上所記載的實施方式,基板處理裝置包括:保持面41、多個升降銷6、框構件7、以及升降銷驅動部8。保持面41在上面保持基板3。多個升降銷6經由形成於保持面41的多個貫通孔90分別向保持面41的上表面突出。框構件7從下方支撐多個升降銷6,且在俯視時與保持面41重疊地配置。升降銷驅動部8在俯視時配置於框構件7的外周部。另外,升降銷驅動部8通過使框構件7升降來使多個升降銷6升降。此處,升降銷驅動部8包括驅動源8A、驅動力傳遞機構8B(或驅動力傳遞機構80B)、多個升降機構8C(或升降機構80C)。驅動力傳遞機構8B沿框構件7的周向延伸地配置,且傳遞驅動源8A的驅動力。多個升降機構8C連結於驅動力傳遞機構8B與框構件7的外周部,且使框構件7升降。According to the above-described embodiment, the substrate processing apparatus includes the holding
根據此種結構,由於可將升降銷驅動部8配置於在俯視時充分遠離基板3的中心的位置,因此在進行驅動源8A或升降機構8C等的維護作業時,不需要潛入至基板3的下方。因此,維護作業變得容易。另外,由於沿框構件7的周向延伸形成的驅動力傳遞機構8B將驅動源8A的驅動力傳遞至多個升降機構8C,因此可經由多個升降機構8C使框構件7整體均等且穩定地升降。另外,由於可在框構件7的外周部充分遠離地配置多個升降機構8C,因此可使由框構件7支撐的多個升降銷6均等且穩定地升降。According to such a configuration, since the lift
再者,即便在對上文所述的結構中適宜追加了本申請說明書中例示的其他結構的情況下,即,適宜追加了作為上文所述的結構未提及的本申請說明書中的其他結構的情況下,也可產生同樣的效果。In addition, even when other structures illustrated in the specification of the present application are appropriately added to the structures described above, that is, other structures not mentioned in the specification of the present application that are not mentioned as the structures described above are appropriately added. In the case of the structure, the same effect can be produced.
另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,升降銷驅動部8在俯視時不與框構件7重疊。根據此種結構,通過升降銷驅動部8在俯視時向框構件7的外周部側偏移地配置,在升降銷驅動部8(特別是驅動源8A)中產生的熱難以籠罩在框構件7的下方。特別是在保持面41上進行高溫處理或冷卻處理等的情況下,若在保持面41的下方配置升降銷驅動部8,則容易受到急劇的溫度變化的影響而在升降銷驅動部8產生不良狀況。因此,此種結構有效。另外,通過將升降銷驅動部8配置於不與框構件7重疊的位置,可將升降銷驅動部8配置於與框構件7相同的高度處,因此可將基板處理裝置1的結構的高度抑制得低。因此,維護作業的安全性提高,另外,在輸送基板處理裝置1時也可提高安全性。In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, the lift
另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,升降銷驅動部8在俯視時不與保持面41重疊。根據此種結構,通過升降銷驅動部8在俯視時露出至保持面41的外側,可有效地釋放在升降銷驅動部8(特別是驅動源8A)中產生的熱。另外,通過將升降銷驅動部8配置於不與保持面41重疊的位置,可將升降銷驅動部8配置於與保持面41相同的高度處。因此,可將基板處理裝置1的結構的高度抑制得低。In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, the lift
另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,驅動力傳遞機構8B(或驅動力傳遞機構80B)沿框構件7的不同的兩個周向延伸地配置。根據此種結構,來自驅動源8A的驅動力通過驅動力傳遞機構8B沿著框構件7的多個邊傳遞。因此,可經由多個邊上的升降機構8C,使升降銷6進而基板3均勻且穩定地升降。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the driving
<關於以上所記載的實施方式的變形例> 在以上所記載的實施方式中,有時也記載了各個構成元件的材質、材料、尺寸、形狀、相對的配置關係或實施條件等,但這些在所有方面均是一個例子,並非限定性。<About a modification of the above-described embodiment> In the above-described embodiments, the materials, materials, dimensions, shapes, relative arrangement relationships, and implementation conditions of the respective constituent elements are sometimes described, but these are examples in all respects and are not restrictive.
因此,在本申請說明書中所公開的技術範圍內可假定未例示的無數變形例及均等物。例如,包含對至少一個構成元件進行變形的情況、追加的情況或省略的情況。Therefore, innumerable modification examples and equivalents which are not illustrated can be assumed within the technical scope disclosed in this specification. For example, the case where at least one constituent element is deformed, the case where it is added, or the case where it is omitted is included.
另外,在以上所記載的實施方式中,在未特別指定而記載了材料名稱等的情況下,只要不產生矛盾,則在所述材料中包含其他添加物,例如包含合金等。In addition, in the embodiment described above, in the case where the material name or the like is described without special designation, other additives, such as alloys, etc. are included in the material as long as there is no conflict.
