Furthermore, a transport device is typically used in the probe station for loading and unloading wafers, that is, for taking out or placing wafers.
[0024] Transport devices typically include a robotic arm mechanism for adsorbing and moving wafers and a rotating mechanism for driving the robotic arm mechanism to rotate. In related technologies, the rotating mechanism is heavier and more expensive.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transportation device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a rotating mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of a rotating mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0026] This application provides a rotating mechanism 100 to solve the technical problems of large weight and high cost of rotating mechanisms in related technologies.
[0027] The rotating mechanism 100 provided in this application is used to rotate a target object. It should be noted that the rotating mechanism 100 of this application is applied in a transport device 1000. In one embodiment, when the transport device 1000 is applied in the field of wafer inspection technology, the target object is a robotic arm mechanism 500. In other embodiments, the transport device 1000 can also be applied in other fields, and the target object rotated by the rotating mechanism 100 can be other mechanisms or devices. This application uses the robotic arm mechanism 500 as an example of the target object and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0028] It should be noted that when the rotating mechanism 100 is applied to the transport device 1000, the transport device 1000 also includes a robotic arm mechanism 500 and a lifting mechanism 700. The rotating mechanism 100 is connected to the robotic arm mechanism 500 and is used to drive the robotic arm mechanism 500 to rotate. The lifting mechanism 700 carries the rotating mechanism 100 and is used to drive the rotating mechanism 100 and the robotic arm mechanism 500 to move along the first direction D1 and the opposite direction of the first direction D1.
[0029] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 100 includes a rotating component 10 and a support component 20. The rotating component 10 is connected to the target object and is used to drive the target object to rotate around the rotation center axis of the rotating component 10.
[0030] The support assembly 20 includes a first mounting plate 21, a second mounting plate 22, at least one connecting plate 23, and at least one connecting post 24.

The connecting plate 23 extends along the first direction D1 and connects the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 respectively. The connecting plate 23 includes a sheet metal part. The connecting post 24 extends along the first direction D1 and connects the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 respectively. The connecting post 24 includes a chrome-plated rod.
[0031] The first mounting plate 21 includes a machined aluminum alloy part, which can improve the support performance and structural rigidity of the bottom of the rotating mechanism 100, and improve the structural stability of the rotating mechanism 100. The second mounting plate 22 includes a machined aluminum alloy part, which can improve the support performance and structural rigidity of the top of the rotating mechanism 100, and improve the structural stability of the rotating mechanism 100.
[0032] The connecting plate 23 includes a sheet metal part, which is processed using sheet metal. The sheet metal part is relatively thin, which reduces the weight of the connecting plate 23 and helps to reduce the overall weight of the rotating mechanism 100. Furthermore, sheet metal parts are less expensive than other materials. The use of sheet metal parts to manufacture the connecting plate 23 in this application helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the transport device 1000.
[0033] Furthermore, at least one connecting post 24 is provided between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22. The connecting post 24 includes a chrome-plated rod, which can ensure that the rotating mechanism 100 has high structural rigidity and structural stability even when the connecting plate 23 is made of sheet metal. This can reduce the difficulty of the process and the cost while ensuring the performance of the rotating mechanism 100.
[0034] The connecting plate 23 is manufactured using sheet metal parts, and the connecting column 24 is made of chrome-plated rod. This can effectively simplify the manufacturing process of the rotating mechanism 100, reduce the overall weight of the rotating mechanism 100, and improve the lightweight nature of the rotating mechanism 100, while also ensuring the effective support performance and structural rigidity of the rotating mechanism 100.
[0035] The overall frame of the rotating mechanism 100 described in this application is mainly connected to the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 through the connecting plate 23 and the connecting column 24. The processing technology of the connecting plate 23 and the connecting column 24 is relatively simple and the processing difficulty is low, which helps to reduce the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the rotating mechanism 100.
[0036] In the rotating mechanism 100 provided in this application, the support assembly 20 includes a first mounting plate 21, a second mounting plate 22, at least one connecting plate 23, and at least one connecting column 24. The first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 are spaced apart along a first direction D1.

The connecting plate 23 extends along the first direction D1 and connects the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 respectively. The connecting plate 23 includes a sheet metal part. The connecting column 24 extends along the first direction D1 and connects the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22 respectively. The connecting column 24 includes a chrome-plated rod. The connecting plate 23 is processed from a sheet metal part, which has a thinner thickness, reducing the weight of the connecting plate 23 and thus reducing the overall weight of the rotating mechanism 100. Furthermore, the sheet metal part has a lower cost, which helps to reduce the cost of the rotating mechanism 100. Furthermore, at least one connecting post 24 is provided between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22, which can ensure that the rotating mechanism 100 has high structural rigidity and structural stability even when the connecting plate 23 is made of sheet metal.

The control panel is provided with interactive buttons and a display area. Users can control the working status of the robotic arm mechanism 500, the rotating component 10, and the lifting mechanism 700 through the interactive buttons. The display area can be used to display the working information of the robotic arm mechanism 500, the rotating component 10, and the lifting mechanism 700.

The user can also adjust the tilt of the support plate 710 and the lifting mechanism 700 along the second direction D2 near the end of the third leveling component 783 using the third leveling component 783 and the fourth leveling component 784. The leveling components 781, 782, 783, and 784 adjust the tilt of the support plate 710 and the lifting mechanism 700 along the third direction D3. This allows the user to adjust the tilt level of the support plate 710 and the lifting mechanism 700 on the overall plane according to the leveling components 781, 782, 783, and 784. This ensures that the lifting mechanism 700 is perpendicular to the placement surface, allowing the bearing assembly 730 to move repeatedly along the first direction D1 without tilting.
