Substrate container with adjustable stop assembly

Abstract

A substrate container with an adjustable stop assembly includes a housing, two side support frames, and the adjustable stop assembly. Each side support frame is disposed within the housing, and each side support frame has multiple support plates extending toward the other side support frame. The adjustable stop assembly corresponds to one of the side support frames and includes a rotating rod and a positioning mechanism. The rotating rod has a centerline and multiple stop portions arranged radially around it. At least two of the multiple stop portions have different stop thicknesses. When the positioning mechanism is in the positioning position, the rotating rod is locked, and one of the stop portions stops on one side of the side support frame. When the positioning mechanism is in the adjustment position, the rotating rod is released, allowing the rotating rod to rotate around the centerline. This allows for convenient and quick adjustment of the adjustable stop assembly, ensuring that the stop portion with the desired stop thickness stops on the side of the side support frame.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a substrate container with an adjustable stop assembly, including a housing, a pair of side support frames, and an adjustable stop assembly. The housing has a receiving groove, an open side, and a closed side, with the open side and closed side located on opposite sides of the receiving groove. Each side support frame is disposed on opposite sides of the receiving groove and between the open side and the closed side. Each side support frame has multiple support plates, each support plate of which protrudes from one side support frame toward the other and is arranged parallel to each other. The adjustable stop assembly corresponds to one of the side support frames. The adjustable stop assembly, located on the closed side, includes a rotating rod and a positioning mechanism. The rotating rod has an axis and multiple stop portions, which are arranged radially around the axis. At least two of the multiple stop portions have different stop thicknesses. The positioning mechanism can switch between a positioning position and an adjustment position. When the positioning mechanism is in the positioning position, it locks the rotating rod, and one of the stop portions stops on the side of the corresponding side support frame facing the closed side. When the positioning mechanism is in the adjustment position, it releases the rotating rod, allowing the rotating rod to rotate around the axis.

The lever has a positioning insert and the rotating rod has multiple positioning slots. When the positioning mechanism is in the positioning position, the positioning insert can be selectively locked in one of the positioning slots to lock the position of the rotating rod. When the positioning mechanism is in the adjustment position, the positioning insert disengages from the positioning slot.

[0006] In one embodiment of this application, each positioning groove is configured to correspond to each stop portion.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the positioning mechanism further includes a torsion spring, and the side support frame corresponding to the adjustable stop assembly has a fixing block, with the two ends of the torsion spring fixed to the fixing block and the lever, respectively.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the positioning mechanism includes a compression spring, and the two ends of the rotating rod have a pivot and a plurality of positioning blocks, respectively. One pivot plate has a pivot hole, and the other pivot plate has a plurality of positioning holes. The pivot is pivotally connected to the pivot hole. The compression spring is sleeved on the pivot and elastically abuts against the end of the rotating rod corresponding to the pivot and the corresponding pivot plate. When the positioning mechanism is in the positioning position, each positioning block is accommodated in each positioning hole. When the positioning mechanism is in the adjustment position, each positioning block disengages from each positioning hole.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, each positioning block is configured to correspond to each stop portion.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, each pivot plate has a pivot hole and a mounting channel. The mounting channel of each pivot plate communicates with the pivot hole. Both ends of the rotating rod have pivots. Each pivot can slide through the mounting channel to be pivotally connected to the pivot hole.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, each support plate has its two ends facing the open side and the closed side, respectively.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, at least one stop is configured perpendicular to each support plate.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, each support plate has a pair of support protrusions, and each support protrusion of each support plate is disposed on both sides of the support plate corresponding to the open side and the closed side, respectively.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, each support protrusion has a support guide slope on the side facing the opening.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, each support protrusion has a support guide slope on the side facing the opening and on the side facing the closing.

[0022] In one embodiment of this application, the housing has a pair of limiting blocks, each limiting block extending from the closed side toward the open side, and each side support has a positioning protrusion, each positioning protrusion locking the limiting blocks to restrict each side support.

[0023] In one embodiment of this application, a plurality of bolts are also included, each side support frame having a pair of connecting parts, and each bolt passes through the housing and screws onto the connecting parts.

[0024] The substrate container with adjustable stop assembly of this application is configured on the closed side corresponding to one of the side support frames by the adjustable stop assembly. The rotating rod of the adjustable stop assembly has multiple stop portions arranged radially around the axis and with different stop thicknesses. The positioning mechanism can switch between the positioning position and the adjustment position to lock or release the rotating rod, so that one of the stop portions stops on the side of the corresponding side support frame facing the closed side or allows the rotating rod to rotate around the axis. Therefore, the adjustable stop assembly can be adjusted conveniently and quickly, so that the stop portion with the required stop thickness can stop on the side of the side support frame, and thus each side support frame can be used to support substrates of different lengths. Summary of the Invention

[0102] The detailed description and technical content of this application will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0103] This application provides a substrate container with adjustable stop components for supporting multiple substrates A, such as wafers, glass substrates, or PCB circuit boards. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the substrate container with adjustable stop assembly of this application mainly includes a box body 10, a pair of side support frames 20, and at least one adjustable stop assembly 30. In this embodiment, the number of adjustable stop assemblies 30 corresponds to the number of side support frames 20, which is two. However, this application is not limited to this. For ease of description, the following description uses only a single adjustable stop assembly 30, but it is not limited to the number of adjustable stop assemblies 30 in this application being only one. This will be stated in advance.

[0104] In this embodiment, the box 10 is generally a hollow rectangle, but this application is not limited thereto. The box 10 has a receiving groove 11, an open side 12, and a closed side 13. Specifically, the open side 12 and the closed side 13 are located on opposite front and rear sides of the receiving groove 11, and the receiving groove 11 can be connected to the external space through the open side 12.

[0105] Each side support frame 20 is respectively disposed on the left and right opposite sides within the receiving groove 11, and each side support frame 20 is located between the open side 12 and the closed side 13. More specifically, each side support frame 20 is parallel to each other, and each side support frame 20 is vertically arranged between the open side 12 and the closed side 13. Each side support frame 20 has a plurality of support plates 21 to support each of the substrates A. In each side support frame 20, each support plate 21 protrudes from the side support frame 20 toward the other side support frame 20 and is arranged parallel to each other. Specifically, each support plate 21 is elongated and its two ends face the open side 12 and the closed side 13 respectively, and the support plates 21 of each side support frame 20 are arranged sequentially and parallelly in the vertical direction. In this way, the opposite sides of each substrate A can be placed on the corresponding support plates 21 of each side support frame 20, thereby allowing each substrate A to be placed in layers between each side support frame 20.

[0106] An adjustable stop assembly 30 is disposed on the closed side 13, corresponding to one of the side support frames 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pair of adjustable stop assemblies 30 are disposed on the left and right sides of the closed side 13, respectively, corresponding to each side support frame 20. The adjustable stop assembly 30 includes a rotating rod 31 and a positioning mechanism 32.

[0107] In this embodiment, each rotating rod 31 is rotatably pivoted on the corresponding side support frame 20. However, this application is not limited to this. For example, each rotating rod 31 can also be rotatably pivoted inside the housing 10, as long as each rotating rod 31 is arranged on the closed side 13 corresponding to each side support frame 20. Each adjustable stop assembly 30 has a pair of pivot plates 22 on the side facing the closed side 13. Each rotating rod 31 is pivotally connected to the corresponding pivot plate 22 and located between the pivot plates 22. Specifically, each pivot plate 22 has a pivot hole 221, and each rotating rod 31 has a protruding pivot 311 at both ends. Each pivot 311 of each rotating rod 31 is pivotally connected in the pivot hole 221 of the corresponding pivot plate 22, thereby enabling it to pivot relative to the corresponding side support frame 20. Furthermore, each pivot plate 22 has a mounting groove 222, and the mounting groove 222 of each pivot plate 22 communicates with the pivot hole 221. Thus, each pivot 311 can slide through the mounting groove 222 to be pivotally connected to the pivot hole 221, thereby facilitating the installation of the rotating rod 31. The rotating rod 31 mainly includes a body 312, which has a centerline 313 and a plurality of stops 314. The aforementioned pivots 311 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the body 312. Each stop 314 is radially arranged on the outer edge of the body 312 with the centerline 313 as the center. In this embodiment, the number of stops 314 is two, but in other embodiments, there may be three or more to accommodate the needs of more sized substrates A; therefore, this application does not impose further limitations on this. Each stop 314 is plate-shaped, and at least two of the plurality of stops 314 have different stop thicknesses t. In other words, the plurality of stop portions 314 can be designed with different stop thicknesses t to accommodate different length dimensions of the substrate A.

[0108] To facilitate user operation, each positioning mechanism 32 in this embodiment is respectively located on the top of each side support frame 20. However, this application is not limited to this; for example, each positioning mechanism 32 can also be installed inside the housing 10, as long as each positioning mechanism 32 is configured on the closed side 13 corresponding to each side support frame 20. The positioning mechanism 32 can switch between the positioning position S1 and the adjustment position S2, that is, the user can operate and switch the state of the positioning mechanism 32 according to needs. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the positioning position S1, the positioning mechanism 32 locks the corresponding rotating rod 31 so that the rotating rod 31 cannot rotate, and one of the stop portions 314 on the rotating rod 31 stops the corresponding side support frame 20 on the side facing the closed side 13, thereby stopping the substrate A and preventing the substrate A from being pushed further towards the closed side 13. Please refer to the following... Figure 6As shown, when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the adjustment position S2, the positioning mechanism 32 releases the corresponding rotating rod 31 so that the rotating rod 31 can rotate around the axis line 313, thereby allowing the user to rotate the rotating rod 31 to the desired position.

[0109] For further explanation, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each positioning mechanism 32 in this embodiment mainly includes a lever 321. The lever 321 is pivotally mounted on the corresponding side support frame 20, that is, the lever 321 in this embodiment is pivotally mounted on the top of the corresponding side support frame 20. Thus, by pivoting the lever 321 on the side support frame 20, the user can move the lever 321 to adjust its position, thereby switching between the positioning position S1 and the adjustment position S2. Furthermore, each positioning mechanism 32 in this embodiment also includes a torsion spring 322. The side support frame 20 of each adjustable stop assembly 30 has a fixing block 23. Specifically, each fixing block 23 is disposed on the top of the corresponding side support frame 20 and adjacent to the closed side 13. The two ends of the torsion spring 322 in each positioning mechanism 32 are respectively fixed to the fixing block 23 and the lever 321, so that the torsion spring 322 itself can apply a torque to the lever 321 to rotate toward the positioning position S1. Therefore, when the user wants to adjust the rotating rod 31, only an external force slightly greater than the torque is needed to rotate the lever 321 to the adjustment position S2 to adjust the rotating rod 31. After adjusting the rotating rod 31 to the desired position, the lever 321 can be reset to the positioning position S1 by the elastic force of the torsion spring 322 itself. In this embodiment, the fixing block 23 of each side support frame 20 is a T-shaped protrusion arranged back to back, so that one end of the torsion spring 322 is engaged between the T-shaped protrusions of the fixing block 23. However, the shape of the fixing block 23 in this application is not limited to this.

[0110] Furthermore, to prevent the rotating rod 31 of the positioning mechanism 32 from rotating due to external force, vibration, impact, or shaking when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the positioning position S1, the lever 321 in this embodiment has a positioning insert 3211, and the rotating rod 31 has multiple positioning slots 315. The positioning insert 3211 can be selectively locked in one of the positioning slots 315 to lock the position of the rotating rod 31, thereby preventing the rotating rod 31 from rotating when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the positioning position S1. Specifically, each positioning slot 315 is disposed on the pivot plate 22 of the corresponding positioning mechanism 32, corresponding to each stop 314, so the positioning insert 3211 can be locked in the positioning slot 315 corresponding to any stop 314. In other words, when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the positioning position S1, the positioning insert 3211 can be selectively locked in one of the positioning slots 315, so that the stop 314 to be used can be locked in the position of the rotating rod 31 by the positioning insert 3211 after being rotated to the desired position. When the positioning mechanism 32 is in the adjustment position S2, the positioning insert 3211 will disengage from each positioning slot 315, so that the user can rotate the rotating rod 31 to adjust the position of each stop 314.

[0111] Please continue reading. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, another embodiment of this application differs primarily in that the positioning mechanism 32 includes a compression spring 323, which will be described in detail below. In this embodiment, the compression spring 323 of the positioning mechanism 32 is disposed at the top of the rotating rod 31, but this application is not limited to this; it can be disposed at any end of the rotating rod 31. The body 312 of the rotating rod 31 has a plurality of positioning blocks 316 at the end away from the compression spring 323, and each positioning block 316 is configured corresponding to each stop portion 314. The side support frame 20 has a plurality of positioning holes 223 corresponding to each positioning block 316 on the pivot plate 22 away from the compression spring 323. In this embodiment, each pivot 311 of the rotating rod 31 is still pivotally connected to each pivot hole 221 of each pivot plate 22, thereby being able to rotate relative to the side support frame 20. The compression spring 323 of the positioning mechanism 32 is sleeved on the pivot 311 at the top of the rotating rod 31, and the two ends of the compression spring 323 elastically abut against the top of the body 312 of the rotating rod 31 and the corresponding pivot plate 22, respectively. Thus, the spring force of the compression spring 323 itself can apply a spring force toward the bottom of the receiving groove 11 to the rotating rod 31. Therefore, as... Figure 10 As shown, when the positioning mechanism 32 is in the positioning position S1, the elastic force exerted by the compression spring 323 on the rotating rod 31 causes each positioning block 316 to be accommodated in each positioning hole 223, thereby fixing the rotating rod 31 to the side support frame 20 and preventing it from rotating. Please refer to the following... Figure 11As shown, when the user wants to adjust the rotating rod 31, only an external force slightly greater than the elastic force is needed to move the rotating rod 31 upward so that the positioning mechanism 32 is in the adjustment position S2 (that is, the compression spring 323 of the positioning mechanism 32 is compressed and shortened). At this time, each positioning block 316 of the rotating rod 31 will disengage from each positioning hole 223 of the side support frame 20, so that the user can rotate the rotating rod 31 to adjust the required stop 314 to the required position.

[0112] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in each rotating rod 31, at least one stop 314 is arranged perpendicular to each support plate 21 of the corresponding side support frame 20, thereby stopping the corresponding side support frame 20 on the side facing the closed side 13. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, at least one stop portion 314 has a plurality of abutment blocks 3141 corresponding to each support plate 21, thereby increasing the stop thickness t of the stop portion 314. Specifically, each abutment block 3141 extends protruding toward each support plate 21 to increase the stop thickness t, but this application is not limited thereto. Each abutment block 3141 has an abutment guide slope 3142 formed on the side facing the positioning mechanism 32, so as to form a guide when each of the substrates A is placed, so as to prevent jamming or scratching. Furthermore, each support plate 21 has a pair of support protrusions 211. Each support protrusion 211 of each support plate 21 is respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the support plate 21 corresponding to the open side 12 and the closed side 13. Each support protrusion 211 has a support guide slope 2111 formed on the side facing the open side 12, so as to form a guide when each of the substrates A is pushed between each side support frame 20, so as to prevent jamming or scratching. In this embodiment, each support protrusion 211 has a support guide slope 2111 on both the side facing the opening side 12 and the side facing the closing side 13, thereby ensuring that each substrate A is guided when pushed into or out of the side support frame 20 without easily getting stuck or scratched. In addition, a support guide slope 24 is formed between each side support frame 20 and its corresponding support plate 21. Specifically, each support guide slope 24 faces the top of the corresponding side support frame 20, thereby ensuring that each substrate A is guided when placed on its corresponding support plate 21 without easily getting stuck or scratched, and thus placed stably on its corresponding support plate 21.

[0113] For further explanation, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12As shown, the housing 10 has a pair of limiting grooves 14 and a pair of limiting blocks 15. Each limiting groove 14 is approximately located on the left and right sides of the receiving groove 11 and extends from the open side 12 toward the closed side 13. Each side support frame 20 has a positioning protrusion 25. Specifically, each positioning protrusion 25 is located at the top of the corresponding side support frame 20 and adjacent to the open side 12 of the housing 10. In this way, each positioning protrusion 25 of each side support frame 20 can be respectively received in each limiting groove 14 of the housing 10, thereby restricting each side support frame 20 from swaying left and right. Each limiting block 15 is also approximately located on the left and right sides of the receiving groove 11 and extends from the closed side 13 toward the open side 12. Each side support frame 20 has a positioning protrusion 26. Specifically, each positioning protrusion 26 is located at the top of the corresponding side support frame 20 and adjacent to the closed side 13 of the housing 10. Therefore, each positioning protrusion 26 of each side support frame 20 can respectively engage each limiting block 15 of the housing 10, thereby preventing each side support frame 20 from swaying left and right and preventing each side support frame 20 from being pushed further into the closed side 13. Furthermore, the substrate container with adjustable stop assembly of this application also includes a plurality of bolts 40. Each side support frame 20 has a pair of connecting portions 27 at its bottom. In this embodiment, each connecting portion 27 of each side support frame 20 is arranged adjacent to the open side 12 and the closed side 13, but this application is not limited thereto. Each bolt 40 passes through the bottom of the housing 10 and is screwed into the screw hole (not shown) in each connecting portion 27, thereby fixing each side support frame 20 inside the housing 10.

[0114] The substrate container of this application with adjustable stop assembly is configured on the closed side 13 by the adjustable stop assembly 30 corresponding to one of the side support frames 20. The rotating rod 31 of the adjustable stop assembly 30 has multiple stop portions 314 arranged radially around the axis 313 and having different stop thicknesses t. The positioning mechanism 32 can switch between the positioning position S1 and the adjustment position S2 to lock or release the rotating rod 31, so that one of the stop portions 314 stops on the side of the corresponding side support frame 20 facing the closed side 13 or allows the rotating rod 31 to rotate around the axis 313. Therefore, the adjustable stop assembly 30 can be adjusted conveniently and quickly so that the stop portion 314 with the required stop thickness t can stop on the side of the side support frame 20, thereby allowing each side support frame 20 to be used to carry substrates A of different lengths.

[0115] In summary, the foregoing disclosure of this application is intended to enable those skilled in the art to clearly understand the technical content of this application and implement it accordingly, and is not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this application. In addition, this application may of course have other embodiments not listed. Without departing from the spirit and substance of this application, those skilled in the art should be able to devise various corresponding changes and modifications based on this application, but all such corresponding changes and modifications should fall within the scope of protection of the patent claimed in this application.
