Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, according to the substrate holding device 1 of the embodiment of the present creation, the holding member 11 includes a displacement member 112 and a reset member 113, and the holding member 111 Located at the displacement member 112, the reset member 113 is connected to the displacement member 112 in such a manner that the displacement member 112 is normally biased toward the release position (Figure 4), so that the holding member 11 is not in the holding member 11 When the bearing state switching area E is used, the displacement member 111 is displaced from the supporting position (FIG. 5) to the release position (FIG. 4) by the resetting member 113.

In this embodiment, the restoring member 113 is a spring, more specifically a compression spring. One end of the compression spring abuts against a base member 110 of the support member 11, and the other end abuts against the inner end of the displacement member 112 (the lower end in the figure), and the support member 111 is disposed on the displacement member. The outer end of 112 (the upper end in the figure). Thereby, the elastic force of the compression spring will push the displacement member 112 downward in the figure, so that the displacement member 112 will move downward in the normal state without being subjected to force other than the compression spring. 111 will also move downward along with the displacement member 112 to move to the release position where the substrate is not held (Fig. 4).

In this embodiment, the displacement member 112 is a connecting rod group, and the return member 113 is a spring, more specifically a compression spring. One end of the compression spring abuts against the base member 110 of the supporting member 11, and the other end abuts against the inner end (upper end in the figure) of the displacement member 112, so that one of the vertical rods 112a of the connecting rod group is positioned at In the normal state that is not subjected to the force other than the compression spring, it will be biased upward, and through the action of the connecting rods 112b and 112c, the push rod 112d of the connecting rod group is moved laterally, so that the push rod is installed in the push rod. The holding member 111 of 112d is displaced close to a clamping corresponding portion 110a on the base member 110 for clamping. Of course, this creation is not limited to this. The resetting member 113 may not need to be provided, and other methods (for example: gravity) may be used to achieve the resetting effect.
