[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a protective structure for an electrostatic chuck ejector pin, comprising an outer guide sleeve 1, a protective top cover 9, an ejector pin body 12, and a push plate 13. The protective top cover 9 is placed inside the top of the outer guide sleeve 1. An ejector pin support sleeve 3 is fixed to the top of the protective top cover 9. The bottom of the protective top cover 9 is connected to the push plate 13 via a spring 11. The push plate 13 is placed inside the outer guide sleeve 1. The ejector pin body 12 passes through the middle of the protective top cover 9. The ejector pin body 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the push plate 13. The top end of the ejector pin body 12 extends into the ejector pin support sleeve 3 and is connected to an ejector pin head 2. Guide blocks are symmetrically connected to the middle of the protective top cover 9. 2.10, both sides of the ejector body 12 are connected to guide grooves 4 that match the guide block 2.10. The guide block 2.10 and guide groove 4 are provided so that the guide block 2.10 slides along the guide groove 4 and can limit the auxiliary push plate 13 to push the ejector body 12 to reciprocate within the protective top cover 9. This reduces the space gap between the protective top cover 9 and the ejector body 12. At the same time, there are no other parts between the ejector body 12 and the protective top cover 9, so that the ejector body 12 moves within the protective top cover 9 with a stable auxiliary effect. This ensures that the ejector body 12 is always in a protected state during the movement, and that the ejector will not bend or break when it moves outside the ejector support sleeve 3.

[0025] The bottom of the outer guide sleeve 1 is connected to a protective sleeve 7, and the bottom of the push plate 13 is connected to a push rod 8. The push rod 8 is symmetrically connected to a positioning slot 14.

[0026] The push rod 8 passes through the protective sleeve 7 and extends to the bottom of the protective sleeve 7.

[0027] The push plate 13 is connected to guide blocks 6 on both the front and rear sides. Guide blocks 6 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the push plate 13. By guiding the sliding along the guide groove 5 through the guide blocks 6, the smooth operation of the ejector body 12 can be ensured. In addition, the ejector support sleeve 3 can provide auxiliary support for the connection end between the ejector head 2 extending out of the protective top cover 9 and the ejector body 12, further ensuring that the ejector will not bend or break when it moves outside the ejector support sleeve 3.

[0028] The front and rear sides of the outer guide sleeve 1 are both connected to guide grooves 5 that match the guide block 6.

[0029] The top of both sides of the protective top cover 9 is connected to a pressing groove 15. The pressing groove 15 is provided with a pressing block 16. The pressing block 16, connecting rod 17, limiting plate 20 and fixing block 19 are set and used in combination to manually control the insertion state of the fixing block 19 and the fixing groove 18. Pressing the pressing block 16 can push the fixing block 19 away from the positioning range of the fixing groove 18, which can facilitate the removal of the protective top cover 9, the ejector pin body 12 and the push rod 8 from the outer guide sleeve 1 and the protective sleeve 7, and facilitate the replacement of internal damaged parts.

[0030] Both sides of the protective top cover 9 are connected to limiting cavities 21.

[0031] The limiting cavity 21 is connected to the limiting plate 20 by a spring 22, and one side of the limiting plate 20 is connected to one side of the pressing block 16 by a connecting rod 17.

[0032] The limiting plate 20 is connected to a fixing block 19 on the side away from the spring 22.

[0033] Both sides inside the outer guide sleeve 1 are connected to fixing slots 18 that match the fixing block 19.

[0034] In this embodiment, the following features are provided: the guide block 2 10 and the guide groove 1 4 allow the guide block 2 10 to slide along the guide groove 1 4, which can limit the auxiliary push plate 13 to push the ejector body 12 to reciprocate within the protective top cover 9. This reduces the spatial gap between the protective top cover 9 and the ejector body 12. Since there are no other components between the ejector body 12 and the protective top cover 9, the movement of the ejector body 12 within the protective top cover 9 is stabilized and assisted, ensuring that the ejector body 12 is always protected during movement. The push plate 13 is provided with guide blocks 1 6 on both the front and rear sides. By guiding the guide blocks 1 6 along the guide groove 2 5, the smooth operation of the ejector body 12 can be ensured. Furthermore, the ejector support sleeve 3 provides auxiliary support for the connection between the ejector head 2 extending out of the protective top cover 9 and the ejector body 12.
