DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 The air-floating shock absorber for wafer film thickness detection shown in the figure includes a detection device 12, a bottom plate 13 is fixed at the lower end of the detection device 12, a fixed column 15 is fixed at the lower end of the bottom plate 13 at the four corners, a sleeve column 16 that can move up and down is sleeved at the inner position of the fixed column 15, a rotatable threaded barrel 14 is installed at the four corners of the lower end of the bottom plate 13, the rotatable threaded barrel 14 is installed at the lower end of the bottom plate 13 through a rotating shaft 17 fixed at the upper end, and a sleeve column 16 that can move up and down is sleeved at the inner position of the fixed column 15. It is equipped with a bolt column 6, a fixing plate 5 is fixed at the lower end of the bolt column 6, an upper end of the fixing plate 5 is provided with insertion holes 7 at the left and right sides, an upper guard plate 9 is fixed at the lower end of the insertion hole 7, a rubber pad 8 is provided at the upper end of the upper guard plate 9, a damping column 2 is provided at the four corners of the lower end of the upper guard plate 9, a lower guard plate 10 is fixed at the lower end of the damping column 2, a compressed air chamber 1 is provided at the middle position of the upper end of the lower guard plate 10, and an air valve 11 is provided at the front end of the compressed air chamber 1.

[0025] Compressed air chamber 1 stores and supplies gas. When the equipment requires shock absorption, the gas in compressed air chamber 1 is released. When the gas is released from compressed air chamber 1, it enters the bottom of the shock absorber through valve 11, forming an air film. This air film isolates the detection equipment 12 from the ground and provides buoyancy support.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a supporting steel plate 3 is provided at the upper end position of the compressed air chamber 1, and a rubber diaphragm 4 is provided at the upper end position of the supporting steel plate 3. The rubber diaphragm 4 is fixed at the lower end position of the upper guard plate 9. The valve mouth 11 controls the gas flow and pressure inside the compressed air chamber 1 by adjusting the opening and closing degree. The rotatable threaded barrel 14 rotates to allow the bolt column 6 to enter the internal position. The installation of the rotatable threaded barrel 14 and the bolt column 6 allows the air-floating shock absorber to be installed at the lower end position of the detection equipment 12. The rotatable threaded barrel 14 rotates with the rotating shaft 17 as the central axis. The sleeve column 16 is sleeved at the internal position of the fixed column 15 and can be moved. The installation of the rotatable threaded barrel 14 and the bolt column 6 allows the sleeve column 16 to be inserted into the internal position of the insertion hole 7.

[0027] When the air-floating shock absorber is installed at the lower end of the detection device 12, the sleeve column 16 can be pulled out from the inner position of the fixed column 15 and inserted into the inner position of the insertion hole 7, so that the position of the air-floating shock absorber can be limited.

[0028] Based on the same technical concept, the present invention also provides an air flotation damping system for wafer film thickness testing. This air flotation damping system can be applied beneath the testing platform of a corresponding wafer film thickness testing device to maintain stability. The air flotation damping system includes four air flotation dampers as described above; the four air flotation dampers are arranged circumferentially and spaced apart. For example, they can be located at the four corners of the bottom of the testing platform.

[0029] At the same time, the four air-floating shock absorbers are interconnected. This arrangement forms a unified whole, facilitating rapid adjustment. This is because, when the pressure in one of the four air-floating shock absorbers changes, the remaining air-floating shock absorbers can simultaneously adjust their pressure balance based on the principle of interconnected vessels, thus quickly reaching a new equilibrium.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
