Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: an anode assembly tool for an excimer laser discharge cavity, comprising an expansion plate 5, an extension platform 6 is arranged at the bottom of the expansion plate 5, a clamping platform 7 is arranged at the bottom of the extension platform 6, a limit plate 8 is arranged at the top of the expansion plate 5, a synchronous expansion component 9 is arranged inside and at the bottom of the expansion plate 5, and the synchronous expansion component 9 can adjust the width and height of the assembly tool according to the size of the discharge cavity, and a connecting platform 10 is installed at the top of the clamping platform 7, and the connecting platform 10 is limited and slid in the groove at the bottom of the extension platform 6;

[0031] The regulating limit assembly 11 is arranged at the bottom end of the extension platform 6 and inside the clamping platform 7, and the regulating limit assembly 11 is used to adjust the distance between the clamping platforms 7 according to the size specifications of the anode base 3;

[0032] During operation, since the chamber 1 has different specifications and types, the specifications of the anode base 3 inside different chambers 1 are also different. When the existing tooling is used to install the anode base 3, the tooling may not be convenient to match the discharge chamber 1 and the anode base 3 of other specifications. This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problem. The specific implementation method is as follows. When using the anode assembly tooling of the excimer laser discharge chamber, first turn the knob 114 to drive the bidirectional screw B111 to rotate through the gear set 113, so as to drive the clamping table 7 to adjust the internal spacing through the connecting table 10 so that the spacing can match the width of the anode base 3. , then slide the slide bar 112 upwards, and when the slide bar 112 slides upwards, it will drive the pull rod 115 to slide upwards through the protrusion, thereby driving the extrusion block A116 to slide upwards, at this time the extrusion block B118 loses pressure, and the top block 117 will shrink inwards due to the elastic force of the spring, at this time the anode base 3 is installed inside the clamping table 7, and the top end of the anode base 3 is fitted with the top end inside the clamping table 7, then release the slide bar 112, the spring on the surface of the pull rod 115 will drive the extrusion block A116 to slide downwards, thereby squeezing the inclined surface of the extrusion block B118 to make the top block 117 extend, so that the anode base 3 can be limited and fixed;

[0033] Then, the anode base 3 is placed inside the cavity 1. At this time, the bevel gear A901 is rotated. The bevel gear A901 will drive the bidirectional screw A902 to rotate through the bevel gear B903. At this time, the expansion plate 5 will slide to both sides, so that the side of the expansion plate 5 fits with the side wall of the cavity 1. When sliding, the expansion plate 5 will inject oil into the lower end of the oil cavity 904, thereby pushing the piston rod B906 to move downward, so that the expansion plate 5 can expand to both sides while driving the extension platform 6 to move synchronously. The top of the cavity 1 can be inserted into the cylindrical notch at the corner of the expansion plate 5. Then, the mounting plate A2 is installed on one side of the cavity 1, and then the mounting plate A2 is connected to the mounting plate B4 by bolts, so that the anode base 3 can be fixed;

[0034] As an embodiment of the present invention, the number of expansion plates 5 and clamping tables 7 is two groups, and the two groups are symmetrically distributed. The establishment of two groups of expansion plates 5 can facilitate the tooling to adjust its own size, and the establishment of two groups of clamping tables 7 can fix the anode base 3;

[0035] As an embodiment of the present invention, a cylindrical notch is provided at the corner of the expansion plate 5, and the bottom of the limiting plate 8 is limitedly slid at the top of the expansion plate 5. When the top of the cavity 1 is inserted into the cylindrical notch, the positioning tool can be prevented from shaking or moving inside the cavity 1. The limiting plate 8 can limit the expansion distance of the expansion plate 5.

[0036] As an embodiment of the present invention, the synchronous expansion component 9 includes a bevel gear A901 rotatably connected to the inside of the limit plate 8 and a bidirectional screw A902 threadedly connected to the inside of the expansion plate 5, a bevel gear B903 is installed on the surface of the bidirectional screw A902, and the bevel gear B903 is meshed with the bevel gear A901. An oil cavity 904 is opened inside the expansion plate 5, a piston rod A905 slides inside the oil cavity 904, and a piston rod B906 slides at the bottom of the oil cavity 904. When the expansion plate 5 moves, the piston rod A905 squeezes the oil inside the oil cavity 904, so that it falls to the bottom of the oil cavity 904, and then can push the piston rod B906 to move, and the synchronous expansion component 9 can adjust the size of the tooling according to the specifications of the cavity 1;

[0037] As an embodiment of the present invention, the oil cavity 904 is "L"-shaped, and the piston rod A905 slides within the oil cavity 904 in the left and right expansion plates 5. The "L"-shaped oil cavity 904 enables the positioning tool to adjust its height while adjusting its width;

[0038] As an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the piston rod B906 is slidably connected to the top slot of the extension platform 6, and the expansion plate 5 and the piston rod B906 will not affect the extension platform 6 during the extension process;

[0039] As an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment limit assembly 11 includes a bidirectional screw B111 rotatably connected to the bottom cavity of the extension platform 6, a slide bar 112 is also limited in sliding in the bottom cavity of the extension platform 6, a gear set 113 is installed at the end of the bidirectional screw B111, a knob 114 is installed at the end of the gear set 113, a pull rod 115 is limited in sliding inside the clamping platform 7, a protrusion is installed at the top of the pull rod 115, the protrusion is sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 112, an extrusion block A116 is connected to the bottom end of the pull rod 115, a top block 117 is limited in sliding in the inner groove of the clamping platform 7, a thin rod is connected to the end of the top block 117, and an extrusion block B118 is connected to the end of the thin rod. The establishment of the adjustment limit assembly 11 can not only flexibly adjust the internal spacing of the clamping platform 7 according to the width of the anode base 3, but also enable the tooling to have the function of rapid disassembly and assembly, thereby simplifying the installation steps of the anode of the discharge chamber;

[0040] As an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting platform 10 is threadedly connected with the bidirectional screw B111, and a strip-shaped slide groove is provided inside the connecting platform 10. The slide rod 112 slides in a limited position in the strip-shaped slide groove. The strip-shaped slide groove makes it possible for the slide rod 112 to not affect the clamping platform 7 when sliding. When the connecting platform 10 moves in the slide groove, the protrusion also slides on the surface of the slide rod 112.

[0041] As an embodiment of the present invention, the pull rod 115 and the thin rod surface are both sleeved with springs, and the extrusion block A116 and the extrusion block B118 are both provided with smooth inclined surfaces. When the extrusion block B118 squeezes the inclined surface of the extrusion block A116, it will move inward. The establishment of the spring can make the extrusion block A116 and the extrusion block B118 automatically reset when the pressure is lost.

[0042] Working principle: when using the anode assembly tool of the excimer laser discharge chamber, first turn the knob 114 to drive the bidirectional screw B111 to rotate through the gear set 113, thereby driving the clamping table 7 to adjust the internal spacing through the connecting table 10 so that the spacing can match the width of the anode base 3, and then slide the slide bar 112 upward. When sliding upward, the slide bar 112 will drive the pull rod 115 to slide upward through the convex block, thereby driving the extrusion block A116 to slide upward. At this time, the extrusion block B118 loses pressure, and the top block 117 will shrink inward due to the elastic force of the spring. At this time, the anode base 3 is installed inside the clamping table 7, and the top of the anode base 3 is fitted with the top of the clamping table 7. Then release the slide bar 112. The spring on the surface of the pull rod 115 will drive the extrusion block A116 to slide downward, thereby squeezing the inclined surface of the extrusion block B118 to make the top block 117 extend, so that the anode base 3 can be limited and fixed;

[0043] Then, the anode base 3 is placed into the cavity 1. At this time, the bevel gear A901 is rotated, and the bevel gear A901 will drive the bidirectional screw A902 to rotate through the bevel gear B903. At this time, the expansion plate 5 will slide to both sides, so that the side of the expansion plate 5 fits with the side wall of the cavity 1. The expansion plate 5 will inject oil into the lower end of the oil cavity 904 when sliding, thereby pushing the piston rod B906 to move downward, so that the expansion plate 5 can expand to both sides while driving the extension platform 6 to move synchronously. The top of the cavity 1 can be inserted into the cylindrical notch at the corner of the expansion plate 5. Then, the mounting plate A2 is installed on one side of the cavity 1, and the mounting plate A2 is connected to the mounting plate B4 by bolts, so that the anode base 3 can be fixed.
