[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] In the production process of silicon wafers, the process of collecting silicon wafers is usually as follows: first, the silicon wafers are transported to the unloading station by the conveyor line, and then the silicon wafers at the unloading station are inserted into the basket at the collecting position on the side of the conveyor line by the wafer feeding mechanism. After the basket is full of silicon wafers, the basket full of silicon wafers is taken away.

[0039] Obviously, during the silicon wafer collection process, a flower basket transporting mechanism is required to transport the flower basket. The existing flower basket transporting mechanism usually uses two clamps to clamp and fix the flower basket on both sides, and then transports it through a driving mechanism. This clamping method only clamps the flower basket on both sides. If the clamping force is insufficient, the flower basket is easy to fall accidentally during transportation, which has poor safety.

[0040] Therefore, this application proposes a flower basket transport mechanism, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flower basket transport mechanism proposed in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one set of clamping assemblies 10, and the clamping assemblies 10 are configured to clamp or release the flower basket 20, wherein: each set of clamping assemblies 10 includes a first driving member 11 and two clamping members 12; the driving end of the first driving member 11 is connected to the two clamping members 12, and the first driving member 11 is configured to drive the two clamping members 12 to move closer to or away from each other to clamp or release the flower basket 20; support members 13 extending inwardly are correspondingly provided on the inner side walls of the two clamping members 12, and the two side edges of the top plate 21 of the flower basket 20 clamped by the clamping assembly 10 are overlapped on the two support members 13 to limit the flower basket 20 in the vertical direction.

[0041] It can be seen that the clamping assembly 10 of the flower basket transporting mechanism proposed in the present application realizes the clamping and releasing of the flower basket 20 through the cooperation of the first driving member 11 and the two clamping members 12; at the same time, the inner side walls of the two clamping members 12 are correspondingly provided with support members 13, and the top plate 21 of the flower basket 20 clamped by the clamping assembly 10 is overlapped on the two support members 13. The flower basket 20 is limited in the vertical direction by the two support members 13, thereby realizing the limitation of the clamped flower basket 20 on both sides and in the vertical direction. Compared with the existing flower basket transporting mechanism which only clamps and fixes the two sides of the flower basket when transporting the flower basket, the risk of accidental falling of the flower basket during transportation can be greatly reduced, and the safety is high.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as an embodiment, the clamping assembly 10 also includes a connecting member 14 and a rotating driving member 15, the driving end of the rotating driving member 15 is connected to the connecting member 14, the two clamping members 12 are installed on the connecting member 14, and the rotating driving member 15 drives the connecting member 14 to rotate to control the opening direction of the flower basket 20 clamped by the two clamping members 12.

[0045] It can be seen that by the cooperation of the clamping driving member 16, the clamping member 17 and the two supporting members 13, the flower basket 20 is clamped and fixed between the two clamping members 12, and the flower basket 20 is limited in both the upper and lower directions, thereby preventing the flower basket 20 from shaking during transportation and accidentally falling from the clamping assembly 10, further improving the stability and safety of the flower basket transporting mechanism in transporting the flower basket 20.

[0046] As an implementation mode, the clamping driving member 16 is a first cylinder, the clamping member 17 is a pressure plate, the cylinder body of the first cylinder is fixed to the lower plate surface of the connecting member 14, the piston rod of the first cylinder is arranged downward, the end of the piston rod of the first cylinder is vertically connected to the plate surface of the pressure plate, and the first cylinder drives the pressure plate to rise and fall to press the top plate 21 of the flower basket 20.

[0048] As an implementation mode, the clamping member 12 includes a vertical plate 120 and a clamping block 121 fixed to the lower end of the vertical plate 120.

The inner groove surface of the groove 122 is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the columns 22 of the flower basket 20.

[0049] It can be seen that the posts 22 of the flower basket 20 are clamped by the clamping grooves 122 of the clamping blocks 121 of the two clamping members 12 , thereby achieving stable and reliable clamping of the flower basket 20 by the clamping members 12 .

[0050] As an implementation mode, the first driving member 11 includes two second cylinders 110, the piston rods of the second cylinders 110 are arranged horizontally, the cylinder bodies of the second cylinders 110 are fixed to the lower plate surface of the connecting member 14, the piston rod ends of the second cylinders 110 are vertically connected to the corresponding vertical plates 120, and the two second cylinders 110 drive the two vertical plates 120 to move closer or farther away, so as to drive the clamping block 121 to clamp or release the flower basket 20.

[0051] As an implementation manner, the support member 13 includes a vertical base plate 130 and a protrusion 131 disposed on the inner side of the base plate 130 . The base plate 130 is used to be fixedly connected to the vertical plate 120 , and the protrusion 131 is used to support the top plate 21 of the flower basket 20 .

[0052] After long-term use, the protrusion 131 is easy to wear. The base plate 130 can be directly fixed to the inner side of the vertical plate 120 by screws, so that the support member 13 is easy to disassemble, so that the entire support member 13 can be replaced after the protrusion 131 is worn.

[0055] As an embodiment, the second driving member 30 is configured to drive the clamping assembly 10 to move to a flower basket receiving mechanism or a flower basket transfer mechanism. The flower basket receiving mechanism carries a flower basket for receiving silicon wafers.
