Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air flotation blocks, in particular to a flat plate porous air flotation block device. Background Art
[0002] The flotation platform is used in many fields due to its extremely high precision and stability. The core component of the flotation platform is the flotation module. The flotation module can be divided into a small hole throttling structure and a porous structure according to the structural characteristics: 1. The small hole throttling structure has the characteristics of large bearing capacity, high rigidity and small mass flow, but the relative stability is poor. The small holes with an aperture of only millimeters are easily blocked, causing the flotation block to lose balance and fall on the platform, causing great losses and high maintenance costs. In particular, the flotation module on large equipment has extremely high requirements for its stability; 2. The porous structure is generally made of graphite. Due to the natural physical properties of graphite, the pores are very tight and uniform, providing a good averaging effect. However, the graphite flotation block contains a large amount of adhesive, which will cause aging and powdering after long-term use, and it cannot be sealed. The powder generated by the graphite flotation block itself causes environmental pollution, which cannot be used for equipment that requires a high clean environment. In addition, graphite is conductive and is not suitable for use in an insulating environment.
[0003] The applicant first proposed the use of an air-floating movable die head on a flat plate coating machine, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the coating die head. However, for high-precision flat plate coating machines, especially large-scale flat plate coating devices, extremely high requirements are placed on the stability and flatness of the air-floating blocks used, and extremely high requirements are placed on the cleanliness of the production environment. Therefore, small-hole throttling air-floating blocks and graphite air-floating blocks are not applicable. There is an urgent need for a flat multi-porous air-floating block device suitable for the air-floating die head of a nano-scale flat plate coating device. Utility Model Content
