The driving shaft (76) drives the connecting rod (78) and the clamping column (79) to move in the clamping groove (712) of the cross wheel (711), thereby driving the rotation of the supporting shaft (710), thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating plate (74) and the extraction box (75-2).

4. The method for operating an air blowing type wafer transfer system according to claim 3, characterized in that: The driving motor (71) in S3 synchronously drives the driving shaft (77-2) to rotate via the driving wheel (77-11), the transmission wheel (77-12) and the transmission belt (77-13), and drives the transmission rack (77-4) to move via the transmission gear (77-3), so that the transmission rack (77-4) drives the ejection rack (77-5) to move, thereby moving the wafer.
