The vertical guide assembly 9 can adopt the structure form of the existing linear slide rail or other linear guide structure, and the present application does not make specific limitation thereon. Preferably, the vertical guide assembly 9 is arranged in at least two groups around the circumference of the vertical base 3, so as to further improve the vertical guide stability and reliability.

[0063] It is worth noting that the cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the guide sleeve part 52 and the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall of the sliding sleeve part 32 can be circular, rectangular or special-shaped, as long as the sliding sleeve part 32 and the guide sleeve part 52 can be in sliding connection through the vertical guide assembly 9.

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , to facilitate the rotating cooperation of the rotating seat 2 and the vertical base 3 and the sliding cooperation of the mounting base 5 and the vertical base 3, the vertical base 3 comprises a rotating sleeve part 31 and a sliding sleeve part 32 which are coaxially and spacedly sleeved, the rotating seat 2 comprises an inner sleeve part 21 and an outer sleeve part 22 which are coaxially and spacedly sleeved, the inner sleeve part 21 extends into the space between the sliding sleeve part 32 and the rotating sleeve part 31 in the Z direction and is in rotating connection with the rotating sleeve part 31, the outer sleeve part 22 is located outside the vertical base 3 and is fixedly connected with the rotary motor rotor 11, and the sliding sleeve part 32 is in sliding connection with the mounting base 5. Through the above arrangement, the vertical base 3 and the rotating seat 2 form a nested cooperation structure, which can ensure the convenience and reliability of the connection between the vertical base 3 and the rotating seat 2, is conducive to the sliding connection between the vertical base 3 and the mounting base 5, and is conducive to the lightweight and flat design of the micro-motion stage.

[0066] In another embodiment, the sliding sleeve part 32 can also be located inside the adapter sleeve 31, that is, the guide sleeve part 52 can be located inside the sliding sleeve part 32 and is slidingly connected with the sliding sleeve part 32. At this time, the inner cylinder part 21 of the rotary seat 2 is rotationally connected with the inner wall of the adapter sleeve 31.

[0067] In still another embodiment, the rotary seat 2 can also not include the inner cylinder part 21, and the upper end of the outer cylinder part 22 is connected with a top plate, and the top plate is rotationally connected with the vertical base 3 through a disc bearing.

[0068] Preferably, a connecting part 33 is connected between the sliding sleeve part 32 and the lower end of the adapter sleeve part 31, and the connecting part 33, the adapter sleeve part 31 and the sliding sleeve part 32 jointly form a containing groove 34 with an open upper end. The lower end of the inner cylinder part 21 extends into the containing groove 34 and is rotationally connected with the adapter sleeve part 31.

[0069] Further, the adapter sleeve part 31 is in a cylindrical structure to facilitate the rotational connection between the adapter sleeve part 31 and the inner cylinder part 21. The inner side of the adapter sleeve part 31 forms a mounting cavity 35, and the vertical driving device 4 is at least partially located in the mounting cavity 35. Preferably, the upper end of the adapter sleeve part 31 extends inwardly with an annular connecting plate part 36, which can be used to connect with the driving end of the vertical driving device 4 to improve the convenience of connection and disassembly.

The blocking rim portion 202 is arranged above the rotating bearing group and abuts against the inner wall of the rotating seat 2.

In other embodiments, the pressing ring part 301 can only include the outer ring part 3012 and the connecting ring part 3013.

[0079] The axial displacement of the rotating bearing 7 is limited by the cooperation of the upper limit part 20 and the lower limit part 30, which can simplify the structure and processing of the vertical base 3 and the rotating seat 2, and has high universality. But it can be understood that the above-mentioned bearing limiting structure is only an exemplary structure, and the structures capable of achieving the axial limiting of the bearing in the prior art can be applied in the present application, such as in another embodiment, a limiting boss abutting against the lower end surface of the rotating bearing 7 can be protruded on the outer side wall of the adapter cylinder part 31 or the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 24, and the upper end of the rotating bearing 7 is limited by the upper limit part 20.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1 Preferably, the rotating motor rotor 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating seat 2, that is, the rotating motor stator 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating motor rotor 11, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the rotating motor rotor 11. In other embodiments, the rotating drive motor 1 can be arranged between the outer cylinder part 22 and the guide sleeve part 52, at this time, the rotating motor rotor 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating motor stator 12, the rotating motor stator 12 is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the guide sleeve part 52, and the rotating motor rotor 11 is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the outer cylinder part 22.

The mounting cylinder 53 can provide a mounting surface for the installation of the stator 12 of the rotary motor, and can also protect the rotary drive motor 1, so as to avoid the problem that the rotary drive motor 1 is easily damaged due to exposure. At the same time, the mounting cylinder 53 forms a nested structure in the X and Y directions with the mounting base 5, the rotary seat 2 and the vertical base 3, which is more conducive to the flatness and lightness of the micro-motion stage.

[0082] In order to realize the installation and positioning of the rotor 11 of the rotary motor on the outer cylinder 22, a positioning boss 221 is outwardly protruded on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 22, and the rotor 11 of the rotary motor is installed on the upper surface of the positioning boss 221. In other embodiments, a ring-shaped groove can be formed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 22, and the rotor 11 of the rotary motor is embedded in the ring-shaped groove. The fixing of the rotor 11 of the rotary motor and the outer cylinder 22, and the fixing of the stator 12 of the rotary motor and the mounting cylinder 53 can adopt the existing installation and fixing methods of motor stators or rotors such as bonding or threaded connection.

[0083] In order to facilitate the installation of the mounting cylinder 53, the mounting cylinder 53 comprises a main body cylinder 531 arranged vertically, the lower end of the main body cylinder 531 extends outwardly in the radial direction and has an installation protrusion 532, the lower surface of the installation protrusion 532 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom plate 52, and the installation protrusion 532 and the bottom plate 52 are connected through a threaded connection. Preferably, one of the installation protrusion 532 and the mounting base 5 is provided with a positioning column, and the other is provided with a positioning hole, so as to improve the installation reliability of the mounting cylinder 53 on the mounting base 5. In other embodiments, the mounting cylinder 53 can be integrally formed with the bottom plate 51.

[0084] The micro-motion stage further comprises a baffle 6 connected with the rotary seat 2 or the mounting base 5, the baffle 6 is arranged above the stator 12 of the rotary motor, and the projection of the stator 12 of the rotary motor on the XY plane is located within the projection range of the baffle 6 on the XY plane. The baffle 6 can shield the stator 12 of the rotary motor, reduce the falling of impurities such as water and dust on the stator 12 of the rotary motor, and improve the use safety and reliability of the rotary drive motor 1.

[0085] In the embodiment, the baffle 6 is detachably connected to the upper end of the mounting cylinder 53, and in other embodiments, the baffle 6 can be detachably connected to the upper end or the outer wall of the rotary seat 2, and the size, shape and height of the baffle 6 from the stator 12 of the rotary motor are not limited, as long as the arrangement of the baffle 6 does not interfere with the operation of the rotary seat 2 and the rotor 11 of the rotary motor.

[0086] More preferably, the absolute value of the height difference between the top end of the mounting cylinder 53 and the top end of the rotating seat 2 is less than 10 cm when the rotating seat 2 is at the lowest position relative to the mounting base 5, so that the structure inside the mounting cylinder 53 can be substantially hidden inside the mounting cylinder 53 in the initial installation state, improving the appearance and compactness of the structure, and more conducive to protecting the internal structure of the mounting cylinder 53.

[0087] As shown in Figure 1 , in order to facilitate the installation of the substrate (such as a silicon wafer), the micro-motion stage provided in the embodiment further comprises a stage 8 for adsorbing the substrate, and the stage 8 can be vacuum adsorption or electrostatic adsorption. The structure of the stage 8 and the adsorption method of the substrate can adopt the existing technology, which is not the focus of the present application, and will not be described here.

[0088] Preferably, in the embodiment, the stage 8 comprises an integrally formed center disc part and an outer disc part, the center disc part is coaxially arranged with the rotating seat 2 and the bottom surface is perpendicular to the Z direction, and the outer disc part is arranged around the outer periphery of the center disc part and the bottom surface of the outer disc part extends upwardly and upwardly in the direction away from the center disc part. The inner diameter of the outer disc part is smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating seat 2, so that the stage 8 can be prevented from interfering with the mounting cylinder 53 when the rotating seat 2 is at the lowest position.

[0089] It can be understood that when the rotating seat 2 is at the lowest position relative to the mounting base 5, the height difference between the top end of the mounting cylinder 53 and the top end of the rotating seat 2 can be set based on the specific structure of the stage 8 connected thereto, as long as the structure does not interfere.

[0090] As shown in Figure 1 , 7 and 8, in order to facilitate the installation of the stage 8, the rotating seat 2 further comprises a top plate part 23 connected between the top end of the inner cylinder part 21 and the outer cylinder part 22. In the embodiment, the top plate part 23 is in the form of a ring structure to reduce the overall weight of the rotating seat 2 and facilitate the installation of the stage 8. In other embodiments, the inner cylinder part 21 and the outer cylinder part 22 can be connected by a plurality of connecting ribs spaced along the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder part 21, or the top plate part 23 can be in the form of a circular plate.

[0091] Further, the top plate part 23 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 231 to reduce the overall weight of the rotating seat 2. The weight-reducing hole 231 is spaced along the circumferential direction of the rotating seat 2 to improve the weight-reducing effect while ensuring the overall structural strength of the rotating seat 2. More preferably, the weight-reducing hole 231 is in the form of a fan ring structure coaxially arranged with the rotating seat 2.

[0092] Preferably, the inner side of the inner cylinder part 21 forms a receiving cavity 24 for receiving the adapter cylinder part 31, and the upper end inner wall of the inner cylinder part 21 is provided with a limiting flange 211 abutting against the upper end surface of the rotating bearing set. The limiting flange 211 can further enhance the limiting effect on the rotating bearing 7, and can increase the upper end thickness while keeping the main thickness of the inner cylinder part 21 unchanged, thereby increasing the size of the mounting boss 24 in the radial direction and ensuring the connection reliability of the mounting boss 24 and the carrier 8.

[0093] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 , in the present embodiment, the rotating motor rotor 11 includes a plurality of rotating motor magnetic steels 111 uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating seat 2, and the rotating motor stator 12 includes a plurality of rotating motor coils 121 uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating seat 2. The rotating motor magnetic steels 111 are connected to the outer cylinder part 22 by means of adhesion or threaded connection, and the rotating motor coils 121 are fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 53.

[0094] Since the vertical driving device 4 can drive the vertical base 3 to move the rotating seat 2 along the Z direction, and the rotating motor magnetic steels 111 are fixed to the rotating seat 2, the rotating motor magnetic steels 111 can move along the Z direction relative to the rotating motor coils 121. To ensure the action range of the rotating motor coils 121 on the rotating motor magnetic steels 111, preferably, the absolute value of the height difference between the rotating motor coils 121 in the Z direction and the rotating motor magnetic steels 111 in the Z direction is greater than the maximum required stroke of the rotating seat 2. Most preferably, |height of the rotating motor coils 121-height of the rotating motor magnetic steels 111-maximum required stroke of the rotating seat 2|=5-10mm.

[0095] As shown in Figure 10 , the vertical driving device 4 includes a voice coil motor assembly 41, which includes a voice coil motor stator 412 and a voice coil motor rotor 411 spacedly arranged. The voice coil motor stator 412 is fixed relative to the mounting base 5, and the voice coil motor rotor 411 is fixed relative to the vertical base 3. To reduce the vertical load bearing of the voice coil motor assembly 41, the vertical driving device 4 further includes a gravity compensation assembly 42 for compensating the vertical load bearing of the voice coil motor assembly 41 and improving the vertical movement performance of the entire micro stage.

[0096] The vertical driving device 4 provided in the present embodiment integrates the voice coil motor assembly 41 and the gravity compensation assembly 42, which can realize the vertical driving and gravity compensation of the rotating seat 2 at the same time, effectively improve the compactness of the structure, and be beneficial to the lightweight and flat design of the micro stage.

[0097] In the embodiment, the gravity compensation assembly 42 adopts the structure of magnetic levitation gravity compensation. Specifically, the gravity compensation assembly 42 comprises a magnetic levitation stator 421 and a magnetic levitation mover 422 which are arranged in a sleeving manner. The magnetic levitation stator 421 and the voice coil motor stator 412 are both fixed relative to the mounting base 5, and the voice coil motor mover 411 and the magnetic levitation mover 422 are both fixed relative to the vertical base 3. Thus, when the coil in the voice coil motor assembly 41 generates Lorentz force by cutting to provide driving force for the Z-direction movement of the rotating base 2, the magnetic levitation stator 421 and the magnetic levitation mover 422 generate levitation force due to magnetic force to compensate the gravity of the rotating base 2.

[0098] To facilitate the connection of the vertical driving device 4 with the vertical base 3 and the mounting base 5, the vertical driving device 4 further comprises a stator base 43 and a mover base 44. The stator base 43 is fixed with the mounting base 5, and the magnetic levitation stator 421 and the voice coil motor stator 412 are both arranged on the stator base 43. Thus, the magnetic levitation stator 421 and the voice coil motor stator 412 are both fixedly connected to the mounting base 5 through the stator base 43. The mover base 44 is fixed relative to the vertical base 3, and the magnetic levitation mover 422 and the voice coil motor mover 411 are both fixed on the mover base 44. Thus, the magnetic levitation mover 422 and the voice coil motor mover 411 are both connected to the vertical base 3 through the mover base 44.

[0099] When the voice coil motor stator 412 is powered, the magnetic force generated between the voice coil motor stator 412 and the voice coil motor mover 411 drives the voice coil motor mover 411 to move in the Z-direction, thereby driving the mover base 44 fixed with the voice coil motor mover 411 to move vertically in the Z-direction, i.e. driving the vertical base 3 to move in the Z-direction through the mover base 44. At the same time, there is a magnetic force between the magnetic levitation stator 421 and the magnetic levitation mover 422, which makes the magnetic levitation mover 422 have a tendency to move upward in the Z-direction, thereby exerting upward levitation support force on the mover base 44 through the magnetic levitation mover 422, i.e. exerting upward support force on the vertical base 3.

[0100] By fixing the voice coil motor stator 412 and the magnetic levitation stator 421 on the stator base 43 and fixing the voice coil motor mover 411 and the magnetic levitation mover 422 on the mover base 44, the gravity compensation device can be integrated into the vertical driving device 4, which helps to improve the integration degree of the micro stage, improve the compactness of the overall structure, and reduce the space occupancy of the vertical driving device 4 and the gravity compensation device, thereby being more conducive to the lightweight and flat design of the micro stage.

It can be understood that the installation and positioning structure of each stator and mover described above is an exemplary structure, and the present embodiment does not limit this.

This kind of setting, on the one hand, can simplify the processing of the mover seat 44, on the other hand, can facilitate the installation of the magnetic levitation mover 422, so that the magnetic levitation mover 422 can be installed to the mounting base 4411, and then the mounting base 4411 is connected with the transfer frame portion 4412.

[0105] Since the magnetic levitation mover 422 can move along the Z direction relative to the magnetic levitation stator 421, preferably, the height of the magnetic levitation mover 422 along the Z direction is greater than the height of the magnetic levitation mover 422 along the Z direction, and the height difference between the magnetic levitation mover 422 and the magnetic levitation stator 421 along the Z direction is at least greater than the movement stroke of the rotating seat 2 along the Z direction.

[0106] Preferably, the vertical driving device 4 further includes a connecting base 45, the upper end of the connecting base 45 is detachably connected with the lower end of the stator seat 43, the connecting base 45 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting base 5 and is detachably connected with the mounting base 5, the connecting base 45 is through-opened along the Z direction and is provided with a base through hole coaxially arranged with the stator seat 43, and the lower end of the mover seat 43 can extend into the base through hole, so as to reduce the size of the vertical driving device 4 in the Z direction.
