Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle, and more particularly to a modular large-scale vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The existing large carriers (such as 12-inch wafer carriers) on the market are made of plastic injection molding. However, injection molding machines are limited in size and cannot produce large carriers between 500-800mm. In other words, the size of the carrier is limited by the manufacturing level and cannot be further increased.

[0003] On the other hand, if the size of the carrier is increased, its weight plus the weight of the carrier often exceeds 100kg, and the base of the carrier is prone to deformation and bending due to insufficient support and strength, and needs to be replaced. These reasons have limited the size of large carriers. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve various problems of existing large-scale vehicles and to provide a modular large-scale vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention proposes a modular large-scale carrier, which includes: at least two body modules, the edges of each of which are connected to each other and arranged along the depth direction; at least one sealing component, which is arranged around the connection between each of the body modules; and a back plate, which is arranged on the rear side of the rearmost body module.

[0006] Optionally, the back plate is integrally connected to the main body module.

[0007] Optionally, the back plate is one of light-transmissive, partially light-transmissive, or completely light-opaque.

[0008] Optionally, the at least two body modules are screw-locked or snap-fitted to each other.

[0009] Optionally, two outer sides of the body module respectively have conveying channels extending along the depth direction.

[0010] Optionally, a positioning notch is provided on the conveying channel.

[0011] Optionally, two outer sides of the main body module respectively have vertical buckle grooves, and the vertical buckle grooves extend along a height direction perpendicular to the depth direction.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes: an outer bottom plate, having an outward surface and an inward surface, the inward surface facing the bottom surface of the at least two main body modules; a plurality of reinforcing groove members, detachably arranged on the outward surface, each of the plurality of reinforcing groove members having a slide groove; and a plurality of reinforcing members, which are in the shape of long strips, and the plurality of reinforcing members are arranged at a certain distance from each other between the outer bottom plate and the bottom surface of the main body module, and the bottom and top of the plurality of reinforcing members respectively abut against the bottom surface of the outer bottom plate and the bottom surface of the main body module.

[0013] Optionally, the reinforcement, the outer bottom plate and the bottom surface of the body module form an H-shaped structure.

[0014] Optionally, the reinforcement slot member is made of metal material.

[0015] Optionally, the reinforcement is made of metal material or carbon fiber composite material.

[0016] Thus, the modular large carrier of the present invention can overcome the existing carrier size limitation caused by the injection molding machine, and can continue to expand in the depth direction to increase the airtight storage space of the carrier. In addition, the strength of the base of the modular large carrier is further enhanced to avoid bending and deformation due to long-term load, saving time for parts replacement, effectively reducing costs, and extending the overall life of the modular large carrier.

[0052] In order to fully understand the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through the following specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the present invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the claims of the present invention. The description is as follows:

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the modular large-scale carrier 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least two body modules 1 , at least one sealing member 2 and a back plate 3 .

[0054] In this embodiment, at least two body modules 1 include a first body module 11 and a second body module 12, and the edges of the first body module 11 and the second body module 12 are fixedly connected to each other and arranged along the depth direction d. The connection method can be screw lock or by setting a clamping part to clamp each other. In other embodiments, the modular large vehicle 100 can have more body modules 1, such as a third body module and a fourth body module, and continue to be combined along the depth direction d, so as to create an airtight storage space of the large vehicle.

[0055] The sealing member 2 is disposed around the connection of each body module 1 (the first body module 11 and the second body module 12) to hermetically seal the connection of the first body module 11 and the second body module 12. When there are more body modules 1, such as a third body module and a fourth body module, the sealing member 2 is also disposed at the adjacent parts of each body module 1. The sealing member 2 is, for example, an airtight rubber strip, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0056] The back plate 3 is arranged on the rear side of the rearmost body module 1. In the present embodiment, the rearmost body module 1 is the second body module 12, so the back plate 3 is arranged on the second body module 12. In the present embodiment, the back plate 3 and the second body module 12 are two separate components, so a sealing member 2 is also arranged between the back plate 3 and the second body module 12 to hermetically seal the joint between the second body module 12 and the back plate 3. However, in other embodiments, the back plate 3 may also be formed integrally on the rear side of the rearmost body module 1, that is, the back plate 3 and the rearmost body module 1 are integrally connected by injection molding (for example, the second body module 12 and the back plate 3 are the same injection molded part).

[0057] The modular large vehicle 100 of the present invention further has a front door (not shown) disposed at the front side (relative to the back plate 3) of the first body module 11. The front door, each body module 1 and the back plate 3 may be injection-molded plastic parts, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0058] The modular large-scale carrier 100 of the present invention can overcome the carrier size limitation caused by the existing injection molding machine by combining multiple body modules 1 and sealing components 2, and can continue to expand in the depth direction to increase the airtight storage space of the carrier.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the back plate 3 is one of light-transmissive, partially light-transmissive, or completely light-impermeable. Figure 1 As shown, the back plate 3 has a light-transmitting area 31. The light-transmitting area 31 can be transparent or translucent, and the definition of transparency is based on the electromagnetic waves used for detection. In other words, the light-transmitting area 31 is transparent or translucent if it is penetrable or semi-penetrable relative to electromagnetic waves, that is, it is not limited to the transparency of visible light, and can be transparent to electromagnetic waves such as infrared or ultraviolet rays. The back plate 3 can be the entire light-transmitting area 31, made of transparent or translucent materials, or the back plate 3 can be made of other non-light-transmitting materials with a hollow area reserved, and then inlaid with transparent or translucent materials to form the light-transmitting area 31. In other embodiments, the back plate 3 is completely opaque, and the back plate 3 and the second body module 12 are the same injection molded part.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two outer sides of the body modules 1 respectively have a conveying channel 7 extending along the depth direction d. Figure 4 Only the transport channel 7 on one side of the first body module 11 and the second body module 12 is shown, however, the first body module 11 and the second body module 12 are linearly symmetrical, and the other side of the first body module 11 and the second body module 12 also has the same transport channel 7, so it is not repeatedly drawn. The transport channel 7 includes at least two parallel ribs 71, and the ribs 71 have positioning notches 711. When the mechanical transport arm (not shown) transports the modular large carrier 100 upright, the mechanical transport arm slides in parallel through the transport channel 7, docks and fixes at the positioning notches 711, and then performs the transport. At this time, the ribs 71 of the transport channel 7 are the overall weight-bearing surface.

[0061] In this embodiment, the two outer sides of the body modules 1 are also provided with vertical buckle grooves 8, respectively, and the vertical buckle grooves 8 extend along a height direction h perpendicular to the depth direction d. The vertical buckle grooves 8 include at least two parallel convex ribs 81. When the modular large carrier of the present invention is rotated 90 degrees, the convex ribs 71 of the transport channel 7 can no longer bear the weight (the extension direction thereof is parallel to the gravity direction), and at this time, the mechanical handling arm grasps the vertical buckle grooves 8 instead, and uses the convex ribs 81 of the vertical buckle grooves 8 as the weight bearing surface after the flip.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the modular large vehicle 100 further includes: an outer bottom plate 4 , a plurality of reinforcing slots 5 and a plurality of reinforcing members 6 .

[0063] The outer bottom plate 4 has an outer surface 41 and an inner surface 42 . The outer surface 41 is the outer surface of the modular large-scale carrier 100 contacting the outside world and the machine platform; in contrast, the inner surface 42 faces the bottom surface of each body module 1 .

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing groove members 5 are detachably disposed on the outer side 41, and each of these reinforcing groove members 5 has a slide groove 51. The slide groove 51 is used as a positioning slide rail mechanism between the modular large-scale carrier 100 and other machines and devices. The reinforcing groove members 5 are replaceable and can be fixed to the outer side 41 of the outer bottom plate 4 by means of locking, snapping, etc. In this embodiment, the number of the reinforcing groove members 5 is three, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcement members 6 are in the shape of long strips. These reinforcement members 6 are arranged at a certain distance from each other between the outer bottom plate 4 and the bottom surfaces 111, 121 of each body module 1. The distance between each reinforcement member 6 can be equidistant or unequal, and it is preferably arranged in parallel. The bottom 61 and the top 62 of these reinforcement members 6 are respectively against the outer bottom plate 4 and the bottom surfaces 111, 121 of each body module 1 (tight fit contact) to form an H-shaped structure (similar to H-steel). This structure has strong bending resistance and is easy to disassemble and assemble. It can strengthen the strength of the base of the modular large carrier 100 and avoid bending and deformation due to long-term load. In addition, the reinforcement slot member 5 can reduce wear during use. Even if it is worn, it can be replaced separately without replacing the entire modular large carrier 100. It saves replacement time, effectively reduces costs, and extends the overall life of the modular large carrier 100.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reinforcing groove member 5 is made of metal material. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the reinforcing groove member 5 can be made of other types of high-strength and wear-resistant materials.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reinforcement member 6 is made of metal material. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the reinforcement member 6 may be made of other types of high-strength and light-weight materials, such as carbon fiber composite materials.

[0068] The present invention has been disclosed in the above with preferred embodiments, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only used to describe the present invention and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that all changes and substitutions equivalent to the embodiments should be set as being within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the scope of the content defined in the claims.
