Abstract

A supporting and transferring mechanism and a supporting and transferring device are provided. The supporting and transferring mechanism includes a gas supply portion, a supporting ball and an accommodating portion. An accommodating space is formed in the accommodating portion and the supporting ball is provided in the accommodating space. The gas supply portion is communicated with the accommodating portion to supply a gas of preset pressure into the accommodating space, so as to lift the supporting ball in the accommodating space such that a part of a surface of the supporting ball protrudes out of the accommodating portion. The part of the surface of the supporting ball protruding out of the accommodating portion supports and transfers the plate-like article.
