Abstract

The present invention relates to a turntable mechanism, including a flat plate and a rotating device for driving the flat plate to rotate, where the flat plate rotates to generate a negative pressure between a lower surface of the flat plate and a surface of an adsorbed object, the flat plate and the adsorbed object adhere together by an adsorption force generated by the negative pressure, and in this case, a gap is kept between the lower surface of the flat plate and the surface of the adsorbed object. In the present invention, a continuous, consistent, and stable fluid film is formed between the turntable and the adsorbed object, and a secondary flow is not easily generated, thereby ensuring that the adsorption force between the rotating flat plate and the adsorbed object is more stable.
