[0032] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In this application, terms such as "upper," "inner," "outer," and "middle" indicate positions or locations based on those shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended to better describe this application and its embodiments and are not intended to limit the devices, elements, or components indicated to specific positions, or to their construction or operation in a specific position.

[0034] A wraparound air-floating workbench for testing the Z-axis of silicon carbide (SiC) includes two sets of main air-floating sliders 1 and two sets of auxiliary brackets 2. The two sets of main air-floating sliders 1 and auxiliary brackets 2 are sequentially connected via connecting columns 3. The main air-floating sliders 1 and connecting columns 3 are each fixedly connected by bolts; the auxiliary brackets 2 and connecting columns 3 are also fixedly connected by bolts. Both the main air-floating sliders 1 and auxiliary brackets 2 are constructed of high-strength aluminum alloy. The main air-floating sliders 1 and auxiliary brackets 2 are positioned opposite each other. Multiple threaded holes 9 are defined on the outer walls of each of the main air-floating sliders 1 and auxiliary brackets 2.

[0035] A detector 10 is connected to the outer wall of the main air-floating slider 1. This detector 10 is attached to the outer wall of the main air-floating slider 1 via a mounting platform 11, which is detachably connected to the main air-floating slider 1. During testing, the accuracy of the silicon carbide's Z-axis in different vertical directions can be checked. High-precision testing can be achieved by supplying air to separate test paths. Based on the test results, it can be determined whether the silicon carbide's Z-axis meets predetermined quality standards. Multiple limit rods 12 are connected to the top of the mounting platform 11, along the perimeter of the detector 10.

[0036] The inner wall of the main air float slider 1 is provided with multiple positive air holes 4 and multiple pressure equalizing grooves 5, with pressure equalizing grooves 5 located between the positive air holes 4. A vacuum chamber 6 is defined within the main air float slider 1, which contains negative air holes 7. The negative air holes 7 are located on the inner wall of the main air float slider 1. The inner wall of the main air float slider 1 is a precisely machined surface. Multiple positive air holes 4 and multiple pressure equalizing grooves 5 are defined on the inner wall of the main air float slider 1. Pressure equalizing grooves 5 are located between the positive air holes 4. When compressed air is introduced, a rigid air film is formed on this surface, causing the air float block to "float." The design of the pressure equalizing grooves 5 helps balance the pressure within the air float layer, improving the stability of the suspension. The main air-floating slider 1 is internally provided with a vacuum chamber 6, which is equipped with negative air holes 7. These holes are located on the inner wall of the main air-floating slider 1. Adjusting the negative air holes 7 allows for a desired balance between ejected and sucked air. Consequently, through the dual effects of air flotation and vacuum, the main air-floating slider 1 is capable of nearly frictionless, high-precision motion along the vertical Z-axis of the silicon carbide. Operation is frictionless, heat-free, pollution-free, and free of creeping, resulting in easy maintenance and a long service life. The vacuum chamber 6 collects positively scattered gas, and the resulting air film acts to average out errors. Each set of main air-floating sliders 1 has two independent sets of positive air holes 4 and negative air holes 7, which do not interfere with each other and allow for independent ventilation, ensuring accurate testing of a single side of the silicon carbide vertical Z-axis. Multiple auxiliary air-floating pads 8 are connected to the interior of each auxiliary bracket 2. Compressed air is introduced into the pads, forming an air film that assists in the smooth operation of the air-floating workbench.

[0037] The upper ends of the main air-floating slider 1 and the auxiliary support 2 are each connected to a boom 13. The two booms 13 are symmetrically arranged, and a lifting ring 14 is fixedly attached to the top of each boom 13. The lifting ring 14 is connected to a lifting mechanism, enabling the air-floating workbench to be moved. The boom 13 is detachably connected to the main air-floating slider 1 and the auxiliary support 2. This makes the workbench more modular, allowing for rapid reconfiguration during production to meet varying work requirements, providing greater flexibility.

[0038] The working process of this utility model is:

[0039] First, the Z-axis of the silicon carbide to be tested is placed at the specified position, and then the position and angle of the detector 10 are adjusted to ensure that it can accurately align with the Z-axis of the silicon carbide for testing. Then, the lifting ring 14 fixed to the top of the boom 13 is connected to the lifting device to move the position of the air flotation workbench.

[0040] The inner wall of the main air-floating slider 1 is a precisely machined surface. It is equipped with multiple positive air holes 4 and multiple pressure-equalizing grooves 5. Pressure-equalizing grooves 5 are located between the positive air holes 4. When compressed air is introduced, this surface forms an air film of a certain rigidity, causing the air-floating block to "float." The design of the pressure-equalizing grooves 5 helps balance the pressure within the air-floating layer, improving the stability of the suspension. A vacuum chamber 6 is defined within the main air-floating slider 1, which contains negative air holes 7. These holes are located on the inner wall of the main air-floating slider 1. Adjusting these holes can achieve the desired balance between ejected and sucked air. Consequently, through the dual effects of "air flotation" and "vacuum," the main air-floating slider 1 achieves nearly frictionless, high-precision motion along the vertical Z-axis of the silicon carbide. Operation is frictionless, heat-free, pollution-free, and free of creeping, making it easy to maintain and durable. The vacuum chamber 6 collects the positively scattered gas, and the air film acts to equalize errors. Each set of main air-floating sliders 1 has two independent sets of positive air holes 4 and negative air holes 7, which do not interfere with each other and can be ventilated independently, ensuring the accuracy of testing a single side of the vertical direction of the silicon carbide Z-axis. Multiple auxiliary air-floating pads 8 are connected to the interior of the auxiliary brackets 2, which are fed with compressed air to form an air film to assist in the smooth operation of the air-floating workbench, thereby activating the detector 10 and starting to test the silicon carbide Z-axis. During the testing process, the accuracy of the silicon carbide Z-axis in different vertical directions can be tested with high precision by supplying air to the test route air path separately. Based on the test results, it can be determined whether the silicon carbide Z-axis meets the predetermined quality standards.
