As mentioned throughout the specification and claims, "including" is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment of implementing the present application, but the description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present application, and is not used to limit the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the definition of the attached claims.

The surfaces of the longitudinal movement beams 5 are slidably connected with the longitudinal movement mechanisms 4. The opposite sides of the two longitudinal movement mechanisms 4 are fixedly connected with the transverse movement beams 3. The peripheral sides of the transverse movement beams 3 are slidably connected with the transverse movement mechanism 2. An air supply unit 15 is provided below the workbench 1. A power distribution cabinet 16 is provided on one side of the air supply unit 15. The air supply unit 15 and the power distribution cabinet 16 are installed on a supporting steel frame 13 provided below the workbench 1. By adjusting the transverse movement mechanism 2 The lateral movement mechanism 2 is moved in the plane of the workbench 1 by moving with the lateral movement beam 3. Vertical plates 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the workbench 1. A horizontal beam 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 11.

The vibration-damping blocks 14 absorb the vibration generated on the workbench 1 to reduce the influence of the vibration generated during the movement of each mechanism on the displacement accuracy. The vibration-damping blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the supporting steel frame 13. The lower end of the supporting steel frame 13 is fixedly connected to the supporting leg 131. The lateral movement mechanism 2 includes: a mounting frame 21, a first horizontal air-floating slider 23 and a first longitudinal air-floating slider 24.

High-pressure gas is ejected from the first transverse air-floating slider 23 and the first longitudinal air-floating slider 24 to form an air layer between the transverse moving beam 3, thereby reducing the friction resistance during sliding, facilitating precise control, and improving the life of the equipment.
[0022] The transverse moving beam 3 includes a transverse air-floating guide rail 31, a groove is provided on the top of the transverse air-floating guide rail 31, a first linear motor assembly 32 is installed inside the groove, and the moving end of the first linear motor assembly 32 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the mounting frame 21.

Other linear motors that can achieve the same function are all acceptable, and the transverse moving mechanism 2 is driven to move through the first linear motor assembly 32.
[0023] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the transverse moving beam 3 also includes a first slot-type photoelectric switch 311, which is fixedly installed at both ends of the transverse air-floating guide rail 31. The first slot-type photoelectric switch 311 is correspondingly arranged with the first baffle 213 fixedly connected at both ends of the mounting frame 21. When the first baffle 213 moves into the groove of the first slot-type photoelectric switch 311, the light of the first slot-type photoelectric switch 311 will be blocked, and then the first slot-type photoelectric switch 311 will send a feedback signal to the processing terminal, so that the current position of the transverse moving mechanism 2 can be determined, and the transverse moving mechanism 2 can be electrically limited according to the position of the first slot-type photoelectric switch 311. A grating ruler assembly 7 for detecting the position of the mounting frame 21 is arranged inside the mounting frame 21.

The dust-free drag chain 22 is a dust-free flexible rubber drag chain, and the external drag chain sleeve adopts Teflon film, which has a low friction coefficient and excellent weather resistance. A plurality of hydraulic buffers 6 are installed on both sides of the mounting frame 21 through connecting seats, and the buffer heads of the plurality of hydraulic buffers 6 are respectively arranged toward the longitudinal movement mechanisms 4 on both sides. By setting the hydraulic buffers 6, when the mounting frame 21 exceeds the electrical limit, the mounting frame 21 and the detection component fixing platform 211 are protected by absorbing the impact force.
[0025] The structure of the longitudinal movement mechanism 4 is as follows: Figure 6 and 7As shown, it includes a first mounting plate 41, a second mounting plate 42, a second transverse air-floating slider 43 and a second longitudinal air-floating slider 44. The first mounting plate 41 is arranged above the longitudinal moving beam 5. The longitudinal moving mechanism 4 extends to one end outside the longitudinal moving beam 5 and is fixedly connected to the transverse air-floating guide rail 31. The second mounting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first mounting plate 41. Buffer blocks 421 are fixedly connected on both sides of the second mounting plate 42. The buffer blocks 421 are matched with the hydraulic buffer 6. If the transverse moving mechanism 2 moves beyond the electrical limit, the buffer head of the hydraulic buffer 6 arranged on the transverse moving mechanism 2 hits the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 to absorb the impact force. The second transverse air-floating slider 43 is fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42, respectively. On the opposite side, the second transverse air-floating slider 43 is slidably connected to the surface of the longitudinal moving beam 5, the second transverse air-floating slider 43 is connected to the air supply unit 15 through an air pipe, the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 is installed on one side of the second mounting plate 42, the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 is slidably connected to the longitudinal moving beam 5 on the side away from the second mounting plate 42, the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 is connected to the air supply unit 15 through an air pipe, the second transverse air-floating slider 43 and the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 are both connected to the air supply unit 15 through an air pipe, and high-pressure gas is blown between the second transverse air-floating slider 43 and the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51 and between the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 and the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51 to form an air layer, which reduces the friction when the longitudinal moving mechanism 4 moves, and can achieve more precise displacement control.
[0026] Among them, the longitudinal moving beam 5 includes a longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51 and a second linear motor assembly 52. The longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A second slot-type photoelectric switch 511 is installed on the top of the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51. The second slot-type photoelectric switch 511 is correspondingly arranged with a second baffle 411 connected to one side of the first mounting plate 41. The electrical limitation of the displacement of the longitudinal moving mechanism 4 is realized through the second baffle 411 and the second slot-type photoelectric switch 511. The second linear motor assembly 52 is installed on one side of the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51. The moving end of the second linear motor assembly 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first mounting plate 41. 52 drives the longitudinal movement mechanism 4 to perform precise displacement. A grating scale assembly 7 is installed between the first mounting plate 41 and the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51. The grating scale assembly 7 includes a grating reading head fixed to the inner wall of the first mounting plate 41 and a grating scale installed on one side of the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51. Hydraulic buffers 6 are provided at both ends of the longitudinal moving beam 5. The hydraulic buffer 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the workbench 1 through a mounting seat. The buffer head of the hydraulic buffer 6 is arranged toward the second mounting plate 42. When the longitudinal movement mechanism 4 moves beyond the electrical limit, the second mounting plate 42 hits the buffer head of the hydraulic buffer 6 to absorb the impact force, thereby reducing damage to the internal structure of the longitudinal movement mechanism 4.
[0027] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the hydraulic buffer 6 includes a cylinder 61, a striking rod 62, a piston 63 and an adjusting knob 64. A main oil chamber 611 is arranged inside the cylinder 61. The main oil chamber 611 is filled with hydraulic oil. The striking rod 62 is arranged inside the main oil chamber 611. One end of the striking rod 62 located inside the main oil chamber 611 is fixedly connected with a piston 63. The piston 63 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main oil chamber 611. The adjusting knob 64 is rotatably connected to the end of the cylinder 61 away from the striking rod 62. An adjusting rod 65 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting knob 64. The other end of the adjusting rod 65 extends to the inside of the main oil chamber 611 and is provided with a V-shaped groove 651. The notch of the V-shaped groove 651 is arranged from small to large. An overflow oil chamber 612 is arranged between the main oil chamber 611 and the cylinder 61. The overflow oil chamber 612 is connected to the main oil chamber 611 through an overflow hole 66. The flow hole 66 is arranged above the V-groove 651, and a damping spring 67 is arranged inside the main oil chamber 611. One end of the damping spring 67 abuts against the piston 63, and the other end of the damping spring 67 abuts against the inner wall of the main oil chamber 611. When the buffer head of the hydraulic buffer 6 is hit, the impact rod 62 pushes the piston 63 to squeeze the hydraulic oil and the damping spring 67 inside the main oil chamber 611. The damping spring 67 is compressed, and the hydraulic oil is squeezed into the overflow oil chamber 612 through the overflow hole 66. During the movement of the hydraulic oil and the damping spring 67, the impact force of the impact rod 62 is absorbed. By turning the adjusting knob 64, the slot size of the V-groove 651 below the overflow hole 66 can be adjusted, and the speed at which the hydraulic oil in the main oil chamber 611 is squeezed into the overflow oil chamber 612 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the absorption characteristics of the hydraulic buffer 6 to the impact force.
[0028] The principle of the present invention is as follows: when using the motion platform, the wafer to be inspected is placed on the inspection component fixing table 211 and fixed, and the air supply unit 15 introduces high-pressure gas to the first transverse air-floating slider 23, the first longitudinal air-floating slider 24, the second transverse air-floating slider 43 and the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44, so that the first transverse air-floating slider 23, the first longitudinal air-floating slider 24, the second transverse air-floating slider 43 and the second longitudinal air-floating slider 44 form an air sandwich with the track therebetween, thereby reducing the friction during sliding, and the first linear motor assembly 32 is used to drive the mounting frame 21 to move, and the second linear motor assembly 52 is used to drive the first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42 to move, so as to realize the movement of the inspection component fixing table 211 on the horizontal plane. In this scheme, the displacement of the current mounting frame 21 and the first mounting plate 41 is detected by the grating ruler assembly 7, and the feedback is fed back to the processing terminal. , the current position of the detection part fixing platform 211 can be determined, and a first slot-type photoelectric switch 311 and a second slot-type photoelectric switch 511 are respectively provided at both ends of the transverse air-floating guide rail 31 and the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51. The movement of the mounting frame 21 and the first mounting plate 41 is limited by the first slot-type photoelectric switch 311 and the second slot-type photoelectric switch 511. If the limit failure occurs, the hydraulic buffer 6 arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 21 and at both ends of the longitudinal air-floating guide rail 51 will absorb the impact force generated by the collision to buffer and protect the internal structure of each moving mechanism. In summary, an air layer is generated between the moving mechanism and the guide rail through the air-floating slider, which reduces the friction during the sliding process and facilitates displacement control. The transverse movement mechanism 2 and the longitudinal movement mechanism 4 are driven to move by the linear motor, and the displacement distance is detected by the grating ruler assembly 7, thereby improving the displacement control accuracy.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that when describing the position of each component and the matching relationship between them, the present invention usually takes one / a pair of components as an example. However, those skilled in the art should understand that such position, matching relationship, etc. are also applicable to other components / other pairs of components.
