[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the sealing door assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a door body 110 and a motion mechanism, wherein the motion mechanism is used to drive the door body 110 to move so that the door body 110 seals or opens the window 210. Specifically, the motion mechanism comprises a first driving device 120 and a second driving device 130, wherein the first driving device 120 is used to drive the door body 110 to approach or move away from the window 210 along a first direction, wherein the first direction may be an up-down direction or a left-right direction, and the second driving device 130 is used to drive the door body 110 to move along a second direction, wherein the second direction may be a front-back direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the window 210, and it can also be understood that the second direction is parallel to the axis of the window 210, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the sealing door assembly 100 is in a closed state. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the sealing door assembly 100 is in an open state.

[0029] In this embodiment, the movement mechanism drives the door body 110 to move, so that the window 210 can be automatically sealed or opened without manual operation. Specifically, when the window 210 needs to be sealed, the first driving device 120 first drives the door body 110 to approach the window 210 along the first direction. After the door body 110 and the window 210 are aligned, the second driving device 130 drives the door body 110 to seal the window 210 along the second direction to complete the sealing and ensure the sealing. When the window 210 needs to be opened, the second driving device 130 first drives the door body 110 to open the window 210 along the second direction, so that there is a distance between the door body 110 and the window 210, and the door body 110 does not contact the window 210, but the door body 110 still blocks the window 210, and then the first driving device 120 drives the door body 110 to move away from the window 210 along the first direction, and the window 210 is fully opened, so that the robot can reach into the window 210.

[0030] It should be noted that the stroke of the door body 110 driven by the first driving device 120 to move in the first direction is smaller than the stroke of the door body 110 driven by the second driving device 130 to move in the second direction. The movement of the door body 110 in the first direction is mainly to press against the window 210 or release the window 210, and the movement of the door body 110 in the second direction is mainly to align with the window 210 or fully open the window 210, thereby reducing the occupied space and making it easier for the robot to reach into the window 210. There are certain differences in the functions of the first driving device 120 and the second driving device 130.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the sealed door assembly 100 includes a sliding assembly 140, the sliding assembly 140 includes a slide rail 141, a slider 142 and a slide plate 143, the slide rail 141 extends along a first direction, the slider 142 is slidably connected to the slide rail 141, the slide plate 143 is fixedly connected to the slider 142, and the first drive device 120 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 143. By setting the sliding assembly 140, the first drive device 120 and the door body 110 are restricted from sliding along the first direction, which can play a limiting role, improve the movement accuracy, and improve the sealing performance.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, two slide rails 141 are provided, and the two slide rails 141 are respectively located at the two ends of the sliding plate 143, and the two slide rails 141 are parallel to each other. The sliding plate 143 is slidably connected to the two slide rails 141 through a slider 142, which can further improve the movement accuracy of the sliding plate 143.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the sealed door assembly 100 includes a guide assembly 150, the guide assembly 150 includes a linear guide rod 151 and a linear bearing 152, the linear guide rod 151 is fixedly connected to the door body 110, specifically, the linear guide rod 151 and the door body 110 can be connected by bolts, the linear guide rod 151 extends along the second direction, the linear bearing 152 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 143, and the linear guide rod 151 cooperates with the linear bearing 152. The precision of the movement of the door body 110 along the second direction can be improved, and in addition, the guide assembly 150 also plays a connecting role, connecting the door body 110 and the sliding plate 143, and the connection is relatively firm.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 110 has a square structure, and four guide assemblies 150 are provided. The four guide assemblies 150 are located at the four corners of the door body 110, which can further improve the movement accuracy of the door body 110 along the second direction.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving device 120 is configured as a cylinder, and the sliding plate 143 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first driving device 120, which is convenient to assemble. The first driving device 120 drives the sliding plate 143 to move along the first direction.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the second driving device 130 is configured as a cylinder, the door body 110 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving device 130, and the assembly is relatively convenient. The second driving device 130 drives the door body 110 to move along the second direction.

[0037] It is understandable that the first driving device 120 and the second driving device 130 may also be replaced by hydraulic cylinders or screw motors.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a sealing member 111 is provided at the edge of the door body 110, and the sealing member 111 is annular in structure, and the sealing member 111 extends along the circumference of the door body 110, and the sealing member 111 is used to seal with the window 210. After the door body 110 closes the window 210, the door body 110 presses the sealing member 111, and the sealing member 111 can seal the gap between the door body 110 and the window 210. Furthermore, the sealing member 111 is made of sponge or silica gel, so that the sealing member 111 has a certain elasticity, which can improve the sealing performance and prevent the door body 110 from crushing the sealing member 111.

[0039] It can be understood that the semiconductor testing equipment of the embodiment of the utility model includes a chamber body 200 and a sealing door assembly 100 of the above embodiment.
