[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is a wafer carrier with an intelligent clamping and adjustment mechanism, including a protective plate frame 1, a slide rail 103 is arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the protective plate frame 1, and a movable frame 5 is arranged on the slide rail 103, a cover 2 is hinged on the outer side of the bottom of the protective plate frame 1, a limit frame 203 is arranged inside the cover 2, an adjustment rubber strip 206 is arranged on the inner wall of the limit frame 203, an arc expansion airbag 210 and a cylindrical expansion airbag 211 are arranged inside the adjustment rubber strip 206, and a control panel 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the top of the protective plate frame 1; multiple groups of carrier plates 501 are arranged inside the movable frame 5, and a lower micro air pump 502 and an abutment airbag 504 are arranged inside the carrier plate 501, and side frames 3 connected to the protective plate frame 1 are arranged at both ends of the movable frame 5, and the side frames 3 include sub-frames 301 arranged side by side;

[0032] The control panel 4 is internally provided with a processor, a data acquisition module, an operation analysis module and a component control module; the data acquisition module is used to collect the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz on the plate protection plate frame 1 and the pressure fluctuation value ZYz on the carrier 501 during the use of the wafer carrier, and send the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz and the pressure fluctuation value ZYz to the operation analysis module via the processor; 2h during the use of the wafer carrier is set as the time threshold;

[0033] It should be noted that: the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz is expressed as the average value of the maximum and minimum shaking forces generated by the external interference during the wafer state transfer of the protection plate frame 1 obtained within the time threshold, and the value of the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz reflects the influence of the external interference on the internal wafer of the wafer carrier within the time threshold, and the larger the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz is, the greater the influence on the wafer inside the wafer carrier is, and the easier it is to cause wafer damage, and the drop pressure fluctuation value ZYz is expressed as the up and down fluctuation parameters generated by the external force interference on the wafer inside the carrier 501 obtained within the time threshold. In addition, the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz is collected by the gyroscope sensor and the vibration sensor installed on the outside of the protection plate frame 1, and the drop pressure fluctuation value ZYz is collected by the pressure sensor installed inside the abutting airbag 504;

[0034] After receiving the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz and the drop pressure fluctuation value ZYz, the operation analysis module immediately analyzes the transportation risk of the wafer carrier. The specific analysis process is as follows:

[0035] Obtain the shaking amplitude fluctuation value HDz and the pressure fluctuation value ZYz of the wafer carrier within the time threshold, and use the formula The migration risk coefficient Ri is obtained, wherein a and b are respectively the proportional coefficients of the sloshing amplitude fluctuation value HDz and the fall pressure fluctuation value ZYz, a>b>0, and Ri is represented as the migration risk coefficient. The preset migration risk coefficient Yi stored in the processor is retrieved for comparison and analysis with the migration risk coefficient Ri;

[0036] If the transport risk coefficient Ri ≥ the preset transport risk coefficient Yi, it is determined that there is an abnormal risk in the use of the wafer carrier within the time threshold, and an adjustment signal is generated. The generated signal is sent to the component control module via the processor. When the processor receives the adjustment signal, it immediately generates a "carrier sequence n / loading abnormality" style text and sends it to the mobile phone APP of the transportation supervisor for real-time reminder to the transportation supervisor. After receiving the adjustment signal, the component control module immediately controls the lower micro motor 502 to work;

[0037] After receiving the adjustment signal, the lower micro air pump 502 is connected to the abutting airbag 504 and the side bag wall 505 through a pipeline, and the internal air pressure of the abutting airbag 504 and the side bag wall 505 is adjusted to realize the adjustment of the adaptive clamping force of the wafer according to the amplitude of the transportation bump. The upper micro air pump and the winding motor 204 are synchronously operated again, and the upper micro air pump adjusts the internal air pressure of the arc expansion airbag 210 through the pipeline, so that the arc expansion airbag 210 is expanded and deflated, and then the outer peripheral wall of the wafer is expanded and locked according to the amplitude of the transportation bump, and the shaking amplitude of the wafer in the separate chamber is reduced. The air pressure adjustment of the cylindrical expansion airbag 211 forms an expansion and contraction, and then squeezes the limiting rubber pad 212 and the double-sided outer ring edge of the wafer to clamp it, so that it is synchronously clamped up and down.

[0038] If the migration risk coefficient Ri is less than the preset migration risk coefficient Yi, no signal is generated.

A notch 506 is arranged in the center of the arc section at the top of the carrier plate 501. According to the size of the wafer, the air pressure in the abutting airbag 504 and the side bag wall 505 is adjusted in advance by the lower micro air pump 502, so that the abutting airbag 504 and the side bag wall 505 can fit the wafer in the carrier plate 501, and the wafer is placed between the side bag walls 505 from top to bottom until the bottom of the wafer is stuck in the abutting airbag 504.
