[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The vacuum magnetic transmission mechanism of the preferred embodiment of the present application is provided outside the vacuum cavity, is connected with the vacuum cavity, and is used to drive the substrate table to rotate. In order to facilitate the connection of the vacuum cavity and the transmission mechanism, a mounting hole is formed on the vacuum cavity. The vacuum magnetic transmission mechanism of the present application comprises a base 1, a motor 2, a drive wheel 3, a driven wheel 4, a first magnetic steel 5, a synchronous belt 6, a rotating shaft 7, a second magnetic steel 8 and a bellows 9. The base 1 is used as a mounting carrier for mounting other components. The motor 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the output shaft is connected with the drive wheel 3. In order to facilitate the connection of the base 1 and the driven wheel 4, a mounting boss 100 is provided on the base 1. The driven wheel is sleeved on the mounting boss 100 and is rotatably connected with the mounting boss 100. The synchronous belt 6 is engaged between the drive wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4. In order to limit the installation of the rotating shaft 7 and separate the rotating shaft 7 from the external environment, a sink groove 110 is formed on the mounting boss 100 in the axial direction. One end of the rotating shaft 7 is inserted into the sink groove 110 and is rotatably connected with the sink groove 110. The other end of the rotating shaft 7 penetrates through the mounting hole and extends into the vacuum cavity and is fixedly connected with the substrate table.

The first magnetic steel 5 and the second magnetic steel 8 are opposite in position and opposite in polarity. Since the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected with the sink 110, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7 is provided with the second magnetic steel 8. The second magnetic steel 8 is under the magnetic force of the first magnetic steel 5. Thus, when the driven wheel 4 rotates, the first magnetic steel 5 is driven to rotate, so that the second magnetic steel 8 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate synchronously. In order to realize the sealing of the transmission mechanism and the vacuum cavity, and at the same time, facilitate the adjustment of the installation position between the transmission mechanism and the vacuum cavity, a bellows 9 is arranged.

The first magnetic steel 5 is arranged in the first limiting groove 41. Further, since the first magnetic steel 5 and the second magnetic steel 8 attract each other, in order to avoid the first magnetic steel 5 moving towards the second magnetic steel 8 and sliding out of the first limiting groove 41 under the action of the magnetic force, a first cover 51 is arranged outside the first magnetic steel 5. The first cover 51 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the driven wheel 4.
[0027] Similarly, in order to facilitate the fixation of the position of the second magnetic steel 8, a second limiting groove 71 is formed in the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7 in the axial direction. The second magnetic steel 8 is arranged in the second limiting groove 71. At the same time, in order to avoid the movement of the position of the second magnetic steel 8, a second cover 81 is arranged outside the second magnetic steel 8. The second cover 81 is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 7.
[0028] In the present embodiment, the driven wheel 4 and the mounting boss 100, and the rotating shaft 7 and the mounting boss 100 are rotatably connected through the bearing 10. In order to facilitate the axial positioning of the bearing 10, a limiting step 120 corresponding to the bearing 10 is arranged on the outer wall of the mounting boss 100 and the inner wall of the sink 110. At the same time, a retaining ring 130 is arranged on the outer wall of the mounting boss 100 and the inner wall of the sink 110 close to the bearing 10.
