Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer transport box positioning, in particular to a wafer transport box with a detachable positioning reference. Background Art

[0002] At present, a positioning reference platform (operating platform) is usually set up on the wafer processing production line. A positioning column structure is set on the positioning reference platform, and a positioning reference is set correspondingly on the bottom of the wafer transport box. During processing, the wafer transport box needs to be placed on the positioning reference platform, and the positioning column is inserted into the positioning reference to realize the positioning operation of the wafer transport box. At this time, the distance between the wafer in the wafer transport box and the positioning reference platform is the wafer height. Generally, the wafer height of the first wafer is 44mm (industry standard). Only at this height can the robot arm grab and place the wafer normally. It can be understood that the role of the positioning reference is positioning, that is, to ensure that the wafer height is within the industry standard and its error range.

[0003] The current positioning reference and shell on the wafer transport box are integrated. Due to the large thickness of the positioning reference, shrinkage problems will occur during injection molding, so it cannot be molded in one time. The positioning reference needs to be divided into two parts for secondary injection molding into the positioning reference, and then the molded positioning reference is secondary injection molded into the shell. The process involves two secondary injection moldings, and the position of the positioning reference finally molded in the shell is unstable, which affects the precise position of the box body. Specifically, if one of the multiple positioning references is deformed, the entire box body will be tilted, which has a great impact on the height size of the wafer. In addition, the production process of the above-mentioned positioning reference is complicated and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to address the technical problems existing in the background technology and to propose a wafer transport box with a detachable positioning reference, comprising a box body, a positioning reference is provided on the outer wall of the shell, the positioning reference includes a positioning groove and a guide device, the positioning groove is provided on the box body, and the guide device is detachably connected to the positioning groove.

The positioning groove 21 is arranged on the box body 1, and the guide device 22 is detachably connected to the positioning groove 21. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the utility model reduces the volume and thickness of the positioning reference 2 in disguise. Specifically, the utility model does not need to injection mold the entire positioning reference 2 and the box body 1, but only needs to injection mold the positioning groove 21 and the box body 1 as a whole, so that the box body 1 can be molded at one time during injection molding. The positioning reference produced in this way is more stable and not easy to deform, which solves the technical problem that "the traditional positioning reference requires the entire positioning reference to be injection molded into the box body, and the thickness of the positioning reference is often large, and it will shrink during injection molding, so it cannot be molded at one time. It is necessary to divide the positioning reference into two parts for secondary injection molding, and then the molded positioning reference is secondary injection molded into a shell, which involves two secondary injection moldings. The position of the positioning reference finally molded in the shell is prone to instability, which has a great impact on the height size of the wafer, and the process is complicated and the production efficiency is low."
