[0002] During the production and transportation of IC substrates or wafers, they need to be carried in a storage unit and stored at a specific angle.

[0003] RGV is an abbreviation for Rail Guided Vehicle, also known as a rail shuttle vehicle. RGV vehicles can be used in warehouses with various high-density storage methods. The vehicle aisles can be designed to be of any length, which can increase the overall storage capacity of the warehouse. Moreover, during operation, there is no need for forklifts to enter the aisles, which makes it safer.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 7 One embodiment of this utility model is an inclined double-extension line side silo structure, including a receiving frame 100 for receiving material boxes, an RGV vehicle 200 for transporting and picking up material boxes within the receiving frame 100, and docking devices 300 arranged around the receiving frame 100, and AGV vehicles (not shown) for transmission between multiple docking devices 300.

[0036] The support frame 100 is arrayed with a number of support components 10. Each support component 10 is provided with a first parallel support surface and a first inclined support surface. The first parallel support surface and the first inclined support surface can respectively place the material box in parallel and place the material box at an inclination. In this embodiment, the inclined material box is inclined at 87.5°.

[0037] The support frame 100 is equipped with a track assembly 5 that cooperates with the RGV cart 200. The track assembly 5 includes a road rail 6 and a ceiling rail (not shown). The RGV cart 200 slides back and forth along the road rail 6, while the ceiling rail is arranged on the side of the top pressure assembly 20. The top pressure assembly 20 includes a drive motor 21 and a lead screw transmission module 22 that are linked together. The movable end of the lead screw transmission module 22 is also connected to an abutment part 23. The drive motor 21 and the lead screw transmission module 22 cooperate to drive the abutment part 23 to move towards the ceiling rail. The abutment part 23 abuts against the ceiling rail, thereby supporting the RGV cart 200, improving the stability of the RGV cart 200, ensuring that goods are picked up and placed at a parallel angle, and meeting the conditions of a cleanroom and ensuring the preservation quality of the goods.

[0038] The top pressure assembly 20 also includes a torque sensor (not shown). The torque sensor is connected to the drive motor 21. The torque sensor detects the torque value change of the drive motor 21. The drive motor 21 drives the lead screw transmission module 22 to rotate. The contact part 23 approaches the top rail and contacts the top rail. When the contact part 23 cannot rotate, the drive motor 31 generates a torque change. The control system controls the drive motor 21 to stop rotating to ensure the best support effect of the top pressure assembly 20. It will not fail to support due to insufficient distance, nor will it deform the top rail due to excessive transmission distance.

[0039] The docking device 300 is arranged around the support frame 100. The docking device 300 is equipped with a docking component 60 and a flipping component. The flipping component 70 clamps the material box and flips it. The docking component 60 is used to position and fix the AGV vehicle entering the docking device 300.

[0042] Each elevator (not shown) is equipped with a second linear transmission module (not shown) and a second fork (not shown) mounted on the second linear transmission module (not shown). The second fork on the second linear transmission module can drive the material box to reciprocate between the elevator and the corresponding docking device 300.

[0043] The hoist lifts the material box to the corresponding layer of the support frame 100, and the empty AGV enters the corresponding elevator shaft docking device 300. At the same time, it is precisely positioned and fixed by the docking component 60. The linear transmission module 2 in the hoist drives the fork 2 and the material box to the corresponding device 300 in the elevator shaft. The tilting component 70 in the corresponding device in the elevator shaft makes a 90° turn, and the material box is supported vertically on the AGV. The AGV transfers the material box to the storage bin docking device. The RGV 200 moves to the corresponding position of the storage bin docking device. The drive motor 21 drives the screw transmission module 22 and the contact part 23 to drive outward. The contact part 23 abuts against the track component 5 to achieve parallel support of the RGV 200.

[0044] The linear transmission module 40 inside the RGV vehicle 200 drives the fork 50 to extend into the storage bin docking device. At the same time, the flipping component 70 flips the bin to a specific angle and then, together with the lifting module 30, places it on the second parallel support surface or the second inclined support surface on the fork 50. Then, the linear transmission module 40 drives the fork 50 and the bin to return to the frame.

[0045] The top pressing component 20 on the RGV vehicle 200 is reset, the contact part 23 is disengaged from the track component 5, and the RGV vehicle 200 is moved to the preset position. The top pressing component 20 drives the contact part 23 to contact the track component 5. The linear transmission module 40 drives the fork 50 to extend into the corresponding bearing component 10, and cooperates with the lifting module 30 to place the material box on the first parallel bearing surface or the first inclined bearing surface.

[0049] Furthermore, the support part 3 13 and the support part 4 14 are integrated to form the installation part 2, reducing processing steps and manufacturing costs; at the same time, the installation part 2 and the load-bearing component 10 can be detached and installed.

[0050] The slope of bearing surface 15 and bearing surface 26 can be changed by replacing mounting part 1 and mounting part 2 to accommodate the storage of products of other specifications.
