[0024] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is a specific embodiment of the line edge library of the present application. The embodiment includes a storage cabinet 1, a storage cabinet 1 side is provided with a openable and closable outer door 11, the storage cabinet 1 inside is provided with a buffer area 2 and a storage area 3, the buffer area 2 and the storage area 3 are communicated or separated by the openable and closable inner door 12, the buffer area 2 outside corresponds to the outer door 11 is provided; The buffer area 2 is provided with a cache seat 21 for placing a basket, and a sensor 22 is arranged at the cache seat 21 for detecting the placement of the basket; The storage area 3 is provided with a transfer mechanism 4 and a plurality of placement stations 5, the transfer mechanism 4 is used for taking and placing the basket between the cache seat 21 and the placement station 5; The storage cabinet 1 is provided with a gas control mechanism 6 for pumping and charging gas, and the gas control mechanism 6 is connected to the buffer area 2 and the storage area 3 respectively through the pipeline for pumping and charging gas.

[0026] The application is used, the storage cabinet 1 is divided into a storage area 3 for storing materials, a buffer area 2 for buffering materials, and an area for device component setting isolated from the buffer area 2 and the storage area 3. In the storage state, the original air in the storage area 3 is removed by the gas control mechanism 6, and the inert gas is filled to provide a good closed environment for the storage of chip raw materials (hereinafter referred to as materials), which can effectively prevent the materials from being contaminated or oxidized. The basket is a rectangular frame for placing materials, and a plurality of slots are provided in the rectangular frame along the height direction for inserting the materials on both sides to limit the storage of a plurality of materials. When the staff needs to store the basket with materials, first open the outer door 11, place the basket on the buffer seat 21 in the buffer area 2; then close the outer door 11, at this time the buffer area 2 is a closed space, the gas control mechanism 6 starts to remove the air in the buffer area 2; then open the inner door 12, the sensor 22 has previously sensed that the basket is placed on the buffer seat 21, and will feedback a signal to the transfer mechanism 4, which takes away the basket from the buffer seat 21 and places it on an empty placement station 5; then the inner door 12 is closed again to maintain the closed state of the storage area 3. The gas control mechanism 6 specifically includes a pumping and charging pump, which is connected to the buffer area 2 and the storage area 3 through pipelines for pumping and charging air, and is further connected to an external gas source to supply inert gas; as an option, a pressure sensor for detecting the gas pressure in the storage area 3 can be further provided to detect when the inert gas in the storage area 3 is too high or too low, and to pump and charge the inert gas to maintain a predetermined storage environment. When the staff needs to take out the basket, first remove the air in the buffer area 2, so that there is no possibility of mixing the air in the buffer area 2 with the air in the storage area 3 when the inner door 12 is opened, after the transfer mechanism 4 places the basket on the buffer seat 21, the transfer mechanism 4 is reset and the inner door 12 is closed, then the outer door 11 can be opened to take out the materials. The outer door 11 and the inner door 12 can be automatically controlled to open by a power source such as a gas cylinder, and an overall control module is provided to automatically open and close the equipment in the required order, so that the staff only needs to issue an operation instruction, and the whole process can be automatically mechanized, and the staff only needs to take and place the materials at the beginning and the end.

[0027] As an improved embodiment, the buffer seat 21 includes an outer seat 211 and an inner seat 212, both of which have left-right symmetric strip seats 213 for placing the basket, the outer side of the strip seat 213 is provided with a side wall 214, and one end of the strip seat 213 of the outer seat 211 and the inner seat 212 is provided with an independent sensor 22; the outer seat 211 is located outside the inner seat 212 and is higher than the inner seat 212, and the middle part of the outer seat 211 and the inner seat 212 is hollow for the transfer mechanism 4 to extend from the lower part to take and place the basket.

[0028] As Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, in actual processing, it may be necessary to store various materials. Due to the different sizes of the materials, they need to be distinguished during storage, and baskets of corresponding sizes are required for storage. The above implementation specifically sets up an outer seat 211 and an inner seat 212, relying on two sets of non-interfering placement frames to accommodate and sense the placement of two sizes of baskets. (Reference) Figure 4 The large basket 01 is placed on the outer seat 211. The bottom of the large basket 01 rests on the two side strip seats 213, and the sides are limited by side walls 214. Sensors 22 at the ends of the strip seats 213 can sense the large basket 01 and transmit the feedback to the transfer mechanism 4. The transfer mechanism 4 can place the large basket 01 at its corresponding placement position 5. Because the strip seats 213, side walls 214, and sensors 22 of the inner seat 212 are all lower than the structure of the outer seat 211, the large basket 01 will not interfere with placement and will not be sensed by the sensors 22 of the inner seat 212. (Reference) Figure 5 The small basket 02 is placed on the inner seat 212. The bottom of the small basket 02 rests on the two side strip seats 213, and the two sides are limited by the side walls 214. The sensor 22 at the end of the strip seat 213 can sense the small basket 02 and feed back to the transfer mechanism 4. The transfer mechanism 4 can place the small basket 02 at the corresponding placement position 5. Since the strip seats 213, side walls 214 and sensor 22 of the outer seat 211 are all located outside the structure of the inner seat 212, the small basket 02 will not interfere with the placement and will not be sensed by the sensor 22 of the outer seat 211. The middle of the outer seat 211 and the inner seat 212 is hollow, which saves space and controls material costs, and makes it easier for the transfer mechanism 4 to reach in from the bottom to pick up and put down the basket. Overall, the design of the buffer seat 21 allows for the placement and separate sensing of two different sized baskets within a single volume, enabling the transfer mechanism 4 to pick up and place them at the designated placement station 5. This greatly saves space, making the overall structure compact and more convenient to use.

[0029] As an improved specific implementation, the strip seats 213 on both sides of the outer seat 211 and the inner seat 212 have a sensor 22 on one side at the end away from the storage area 3, and a limiting block 215 on the other side at the end away from the storage area 3.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the sensor 22 used for detection can be set on one side. Together with the limiting block 215 on the other side, it can limit the basket at the end away from the storage area 3, making the basket's pick-up and put-down position more accurate. The open end of the strip seat 213 near the storage area 3 also makes it more convenient and unobstructed for the transfer mechanism 4 to pick up and put down the basket, reducing the difficulty of transfer.

[0031] As an improved embodiment, the transfer mechanism 4 is arranged in the middle of the storage area 3, and the placing stations 5 are arranged in two groups on the left and right sides of the transfer mechanism 4.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 , 6 , the above arrangement greatly utilizes the space of the storage area 3, and the placing stations 5 on both sides can place the large basket 01 and the small basket 02 respectively, which will not be confused and is convenient for storage and maintenance. The staff uniformly arranges the placing seats 51 corresponding to the specifications of the large basket 01 and the small basket 02 on the same side, which is not easy to make mistakes and is convenient for observation and monitoring. Preferably, the outer shell of the storage cabinet 1 can be made of transparent material, which is convenient for the staff to observe and monitor the internal operation and storage conditions.

[0033] As an improved embodiment, the placing station 5 has placing seats 51 symmetrically arranged on both sides, and the middle of the placing seats 51 is hollow for the transfer mechanism 4 to extend from the lower part to take and place the basket.

[0034] As shown in Figure 6 , the placing seats 51 of the placing stations 5 on both sides are arranged corresponding to the specifications of the large basket 01 and the small basket 02, and the middle is hollow, which on the one hand saves space and controls material cost, and on the other hand facilitates the transfer mechanism 4 to extend from the lower part to take and place the basket. Whether each placing station 5 stores a basket can be recorded by a control module, which facilitates the transfer mechanism 4 to transfer external baskets to empty placing stations 5 and to take materials from placing stations 5 storing baskets.

[0035] As an improved embodiment, the placing stations 5 on the left and right sides are arranged in a longitudinal and transverse multi-position array structure.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 , 6 , the placing stations 5 on both sides form a 4x5 array placement position, and the specific array number can be selected according to the production capacity of the production line, corresponding to the size of the storage area 3 to accommodate the required placing stations 5. The placing stations 5 forming the array also facilitate the transfer mechanism 4 to take and place the basket regularly.

[0037] As an improved embodiment, the transfer mechanism 4 includes a front and rear translation mechanism 41, a left and right translation mechanism 42, a rotation mechanism 43, a lifting mechanism 44, and a material taking plate 45. The material taking plate 45 is arranged on the lifting mechanism 44 to adjust the height position, the lifting mechanism 44 is arranged on the rotation mechanism 43 to adjust the angle position, the rotation mechanism 43 is arranged on the left and right translation mechanism 42 to adjust the left and right position, and the left and right translation mechanism 42 is arranged on the front and rear translation mechanism 41 to adjust the front and rear position.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 44 comprises a lifting frame 441, a lifting rail 442 and a lifting cylinder 443, the taking plate 45 is arranged on the lifting frame 441, the lifting frame 441 is arranged on the lifting rail 442 and is driven to lift by the lifting cylinder 443; the rotating mechanism 43 comprises a rotating frame 431 and a rotating cylinder 432, the lifting rail 442 is arranged on the rotating frame 431 and is driven to rotate by the rotating cylinder 432; the left-right translation mechanism 42 comprises a left-right translation frame 421, a left-right translation rail 422 and a left-right translation cylinder 423, the rotating frame 431 is arranged on the left-right translation frame 421, the left-right translation frame 421 is arranged on the left-right translation rail 422 and is driven to move left and right by the left-right translation cylinder 423; the front-rear translation mechanism 41 comprises a front-rear translation frame 411, a front-rear translation rail 412 and a front-rear translation cylinder 413, the left-right translation rail 422 is arranged on the front-rear translation frame 411, the front-rear translation frame 411 is arranged on the front-rear translation rail 412 and is driven to move forward and backward by the front-rear translation cylinder 413.

[0039] As shown in Figure 6 , 7 , through the front-rear translation mechanism 41, the left-right translation mechanism 42, the rotating mechanism 43 and the lifting mechanism 44 arranged in sequence, the displacement control of the taking plate 45 is stably realized, the lifting frame 441 is driven to displace on the lifting rail 442 by the working of the lifting cylinder 443, so that the taking plate 45 can be lifted to take and place the basket from the buffer seat 21 or the placing station 5, or be moved to a placing station 5 on one side. The rotating frame 431 is driven to rotate by the working of the rotating cylinder 432, so that the taking plate 45 can face the front buffer seat 21 position or the placing station 5 position on the two sides. The left-right translation frame 421 is driven to displace on the left-right translation rail 422 by the working of the left-right translation cylinder 423, so that the taking plate 45 can be moved to the placing station 5 on the two sides. The front-rear translation frame 411 is driven to displace on the front-rear translation rail 412 by the working of the front-rear translation cylinder 413, so that the taking plate 45 can be moved to the buffer seat 21 or a placing station 5 corresponding to a column on the two sides. The orderly movement of the whole realizes the orderly transfer and taking and placing of the basket, and the automation efficiency is high and the success rate is guaranteed.

[0040] As an improved specific embodiment, the storage area 3 is provided with a openable maintenance door 13 at the rear side.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3 , when equipment maintenance is needed, the maintenance door 13 is opened, and the worker can enter the storage area 3 to check and maintain the transfer mechanism 4 and the placing station 5, thereby improving the efficiency of checking and maintenance, and without disassembling other structures of the storage cabinet body 1. The maintenance door 13 only needs to have the required air tightness, and does not affect the sealing effect of the storage area 3 after the maintenance door 13 is closed.

[0042] As an improved embodiment, when the storage area 3 stores the basket with the materials, the gas control mechanism 6 fills the storage area 3 with nitrogen. As a commonly used inert gas for storing materials, nitrogen can keep the environment in the storage area 3 stable and play a good role in preserving the materials.
