Meanwhile, since the first knob adapter 353 is fixed to the second fixed element 312 and then is in threaded connection with the first driving shaft 3513 located in the second movable element 330, one end of the first knob adapter 353, which is far away from the second fixed element 312, needs to penetrate through the first movable element 320 and extend into the second movable element 330, and thus, corresponding through holes need to be formed in the first movable element 320 and the second movable element 330, and adjustment allowance for allowing the first movable element 320 and the second movable element 330 to move along the first direction needs to be reserved in the through holes. Thus, when the first direction adjustment assembly 350 performs the first direction adjustment, the first knob portion 3511 of the first direction adjustment knob 351 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the first driving shaft portion 3513 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the first driving shaft portion 3513 and the first knob adapter 353 connected by the screw thread are relatively displaced along the first direction, meanwhile, because the first knob adapter 353 is fixed on the second fixing element 312, the first knob adapter is kept in a stationary state, so that the first driving shaft portion 3513 moves away from or close to the first knob adapter 353 along the first direction, and further, under the limit coordination of the first limit member 3512 and the first knob portion 3511 on the first knob fixing element 352, the second movable element 330 is driven and the adapter 340 and the first movable element 320 are respectively driven to move together along the first direction relative to the second fixing element 312, thereby achieving the first direction adjustment of the base body 100 fixed on the adapter 340.

Specifically, the fastening connection between the second knob adapter 363 and the second movable element 330, and the fastening connection between the second knob holder 362 and the second fixed element 312 can be achieved by some structures such as screws. The first knob adapter 363 may have a T-shaped structure, so that its horizontal portion is fixed on a side surface of the second movable element 330 away from the first movable element 320, and its vertical portion is screwed to the other end of the second driving shaft 3613. Meanwhile, since the second driving shaft 3613 is located in the second fixing element 312, the vertical portion of the first knob adapter 353 needs to sequentially penetrate through the second movable element 330 and the first movable element 320 and extend into the second fixing element 312, and therefore, corresponding through holes need to be formed in the second movable element 330, the first movable element 320 and the second fixing element 312, and adjustment allowance for allowing the second movable element 330 to move along the second direction needs to be reserved in the through holes. Thus, when the second direction adjustment assembly 360 performs the second direction adjustment, the second knob portion 3611 of the second direction adjustment knob 361 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the second driving shaft portion 3613 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the second driving shaft portion 3613 and the second knob adapter 363 in threaded connection are relatively displaced along the second direction, meanwhile, since the second knob fixing member 362 is fixed on the second fixing element 312, the second limiting member 3612 and the second knob portion 3611 jointly perform a limiting fit on the first knob fixing member 352, so that the second driving shaft portion 3613 is only rotated and the position of the second driving shaft portion is kept unchanged, and the second knob adapter 363 moves away from or close to the second driving shaft portion 3613 along the second direction, thereby driving the second movable element 330 and the driving adapter 340 to move together along the second direction relative to the second fixing element 312, and further achieving the second direction adjustment of the base 100 fixed on the adapter 340.

Thus, the second movable element 330 and the first movable element 320 are provided with corresponding through holes, and the diameter of the through holes is slightly larger than the screw portion of the screw 371, so as to leave an adjustment margin for allowing the first movable element 320 and the second movable element 330 to move in the first direction and for allowing the second movable element to move in the second direction.
In some examples, the susceptor adjustment mechanism 300 of the present application also provides a leveling operation for the susceptor assembly 100, since the susceptor assembly 100 is operated in a state where its bearing surface is parallel to the horizontal plane in addition to maintaining a precise positioning.
