Support platform of non-contact transfer apparatus
View Patent ↗There is provided a support platform of a non-contact transfer apparatus. The support platform includes a plurality of first holes for introducing air on a surface of the support platform, and a plurality of second holes for removing the air introduced through the first holes. At least one of a size and a number of the first holes varies in a direction from a central portion of the support platform to peripheral portions of the support platform, and the second holes are identically formed to one another.
1. A support platform of a non-contact transfer apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first holes for introducing air on a surface of the platform, each first hole having a plurality of sub-holes symmetrically and radially arranged along a direction from a center portion of each first hole to an edge portion of each first hole; and
a plurality of second holes for removing the air introduced through the first holes,
wherein at least one of a size of each first hole and the number of the first holes varies in a direction from a central portion of the support platform to peripheral portions of the support platform.
2. The support platform according to claim 1 , wherein the size of the first holes enlarges in a direction from the central portion to the peripheral portions of the support platform.
3. The support platform according to claim 1 , wherein the number of first holes increases in a direction from the central portion to the peripheral portions of the support platform.
4. The support platform according to claim 1 , wherein the sub-holes are formed through the first holes at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to a bottom surface of the first holes.
5. A support platform of a non-contact transfer apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first pads on which a plurality of first holes are formed, each first hole having a plurality of sub-holes symmetrically and radially arranged along a direction from a center portion of each first hole to an edge portion of each first hole; and
a plurality of second pads arranged in an alternating pattern with the first pads and each having a plurality of second holes,
wherein at least one of a size of each first hole and the number of the first holes varies in a direction from a central portion of the support platform to peripheral portions of the support platform, and
wherein the first pads are connected to the second pads in the same plane.
6. The support platform according to claim 5 , wherein the size of the first holes enlarges in a direction from the central portion to the peripheral portions of the support platform.
7. The support platform according to claim 5 , wherein the number of the first holes on the first pads increases in a direction from the central portion to the peripheral portions of the support platform.
8. A support platform of a non-contact transfer apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first holes for introducing air on a surface of the support platform, each first hole having a plurality of sub-holes symmetrically and radially arranged along a direction from a center portion of each first hole to an edge portion of each first hole; and
a plurality of second holes for removing the air introduced through the first holes,
wherein at least one of a size of each second hole and the number of the second holes varies in a direction from a central portion of the support platform to peripheral portions of the support platform.
9. The support platform according to claim 8 , the second holes are formed in any one of a circular shape and a substantially rectangular shape.
10. The support platform according to claim 9 , wherein the size of the second holes enlarge in a direction from the peripheral portions to the central portion of the support platform.
11. The support platform according to claim 9 , wherein the number of the second holes increases in a direction from the peripheral portions to the central portion of the support platform.
12. support platform according to claim 9 , wherein the sub-holes are formed through the first holes at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to a bottom surface of the first holes.
13. A support platform of a non-contact transfer apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first pads on which a plurality of first holes are formed, each first hole having a plurality of sub-holes symmetrically and radially arranged along a direction from a center portion of each first hole to an edge portion of each first hole; and
a plurality of second pads arranged in an alternating pattern with the first pads each having a plurality of second holes,
wherein at least one of a size of each second hole and the number of the second holes varies in a direction from a central portion of the support platform to peripheral portions of the support platform, and
wherein the first pads are connected to the second pads in the same plane.
14. support platform according to claim 13 , wherein the size of the second holes on the second pads enlarges in a direction from the peripheral portions to the central portion of the support platform.
15. The support platform according to claim 13 , wherein the number of the second holes on the second pads increases in a direction from the peripheral portions to the central portion in the support platform.
