Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laboratory SEM leveling, in particular to a laboratory SEM manual shooting leveling mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Laboratory SEM, or scanning electron microscope, is a commonly used microscopic analysis instrument that uses various physical signals excited by a finely focused electron beam scanning across the sample surface to modulate imaging.
[0003] When the laboratory SEM is working, the sample needs to be placed on the stage first. If the stage is not level, the electron beam may not be able to scan and shoot evenly on the sample surface, which may cause distortion, stretching and other distortions in the image. Therefore, a leveling device is needed to level the stage. When leveling, it is generally necessary to turn the adjustment screws at the four feet to make one side of the stage rise or fall, and at the same time observe the bubble position of the spirit level, and then observe the horizontal state of the stage. According to the observation results, continue to adjust other adjustment screws until the stage reaches a horizontal state. The operation is more troublesome. Summary of the invention

[0022] A handle 13 is provided on one side of the adjusting cylinder 6, and a driving gear 8 is provided on the end of the handle 13 close to the adjusting cylinder 6, and a driven gear 9 meshing with the driving gear 8 is provided on the top of the screw rod 10; first, the stage 3 is leveled, and when leveling, the driving gear 8 can be driven to rotate by rotating the handle 13, so that the driven gear 9 and the screw rod 10 rotate, thereby driving the lifting sleeve 11 to rise or fall along the screw rod 10, and then driving the two sets of supporting feet 7 to adjust the height.
[0023] One side of the stage 3 can be raised or lowered by simply rotating a set of handles 13, which makes the operation process simpler, thereby saving adjustment time and improving work efficiency. The handles 13 are arranged on both sides to facilitate operation by the staff.
[0024] Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the adjusting cylinder 6, and guide blocks are provided on both sides of the lifting sleeve 11 to guide and limit the lifting sleeve 11 when it rises or falls; an inclination sensor 5 is provided on one side of the loading platform 3. During the leveling process, the inclination sensor 5 can monitor the inclination angle of the loading platform 3 in real time, and display the current status through a display screen or other indicators for easy viewing by the staff.
[0025] A placement plate 4 is provided on the top of the stage 3, and a handle is provided on one side of the placement plate 4. Slide grooves 20 are provided on both sides of the top of the stage 3, and slide rails matching the slide grooves 20 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the placement plate 4. After leveling the stage 3, the placement plate 4 is pulled out, and the sample is placed on the placement plate 4 and then pushed back to the bottom of the SEM body 2 for shooting and scanning. Through the leveling operation, the electron beam of the SEM body 2 can be evenly scanned on the sample surface, thereby avoiding distortion and improving the accuracy of the image.
[0026] The legs 7 are all trapezoidal structures, and the bottom ends of the legs 7 are all provided with anti-skid silicone pads to increase the stability of the stage 3; the two ends of the bottom of the bracket 19 are provided with mounting parts 12, and the tops of the legs 7 are connected to the mounting parts 12 through mounting blocks 18. Screws 14 pass through both sides of the mounting parts 12, and blocks 16 are provided at one end of the screws 14, and slots 15 matching the blocks 16 are provided on both sides of the mounting blocks 18; storage slots 17 are provided on both sides of the mounting parts 12, and the storage slots 17 are located on the same horizontal line as the blocks 16.
[0027] During the use of the loading platform 3, the support leg 7 will bear a certain weight and stress. Over time, the support leg 7 may become uneven due to wear or aging, thereby affecting the levelness of the loading platform 3. At this time, the screws 14 on both sides of the rotatable mounting portion 12 can separate the block 16 from the slot 15 and retract it into the storage slot 17. After that, the support leg 7 can be separated from the mounting portion 12, which is convenient for the removal and replacement of the support leg 7.

The selection calculation method is a prior art, so it will not be described in detail.
[0028] Working principle: first level the loading platform 3. During leveling, the driving gear 8 can be driven to rotate by turning the handle 13, so that the driven gear 9 and the screw rod 10 can rotate, thereby driving the lifting sleeve 11 to rise or fall along the screw rod 10, and then driving the two sets of supporting feet 7 to adjust the height. Only by rotating one set of handles 13, one side of the loading platform 3 can be raised or lowered. The operation process is simpler, thereby saving adjustment time and improving work efficiency.
[0029] Handles 13 are arranged on both sides for the convenience of operation by the staff. At the same time, an inclination sensor 5 is arranged on the stage 3. During the leveling process, the inclination sensor 5 can monitor the inclination angle of the stage 3 in real time, and display the current status through a display screen or other indicators, so that the staff can check it conveniently. After leveling the stage 3, the placement plate 4 is pulled out, and the sample is placed on the placement plate 4 and then pushed back to the bottom of the SEM body 2 for shooting and scanning. Through the leveling operation, the electron beam of the SEM body 2 can be scanned evenly on the sample surface, thereby avoiding distortion and improving the accuracy of the image.
[0030] In addition, when the worktable 3 is in use, the support leg 7 will bear a certain weight and stress. Over time, the support leg 7 may become uneven due to wear or aging, thereby affecting the levelness of the worktable 3. At this time, the screws 14 on both sides of the rotatable mounting portion 12 can separate the block 16 from the slot 15 and retract it into the storage slot 17. After that, the support leg 7 can be separated from the mounting portion 12, which is convenient for the removal and replacement of the support leg 7.
