Abstract

See full text

Provided is a conversion mechanism that can be applied to a surface analyzer, etc., the mechanism being capable of smoothly converting a movement direction using a ling mechanism. The moving mechanism is composed of: a link mechanism including a first block, a second block, and a link member pivotally supported by the first block and the second block; a slide mechanism configured to reciprocate the first block in a first direction; and a contact member configured to come into contact with the second block or link member to guide a lifting and lowering movement of the second block in a second direction. The link member is pivotally supported by the first block and the second block so that it can be pivoted about a rotation axis in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The contact member has a circular cross-section when viewed from the third direction. When the first block moves toward the contact member, the second block or the link member initially comes into contact with the contact member at a first contact point positioned obliquely above a central axis of the circular cross-section.
