[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon wafer used for manufacturing silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. Since its shape is circular, it is called a wafer. In order to protect and transport wafers, wafers are generally placed inside a wafer carrier box to ensure the safety and integrity of the wafers during transportation, storage, and processing, and to prevent physical damage such as collision and friction to the wafers during transportation and storage. During the wafer processing process, it is necessary to transfer the wafers between different processing devices. When transferring, generally the wafer carrier box is placed on a support. The Chinese utility model authorized patent application number CN202122289451.X discloses a support for a wafer carrier box. Placing the wafer carrier box on the support for transfer is a conventional method.

[0003] When the wafer carrier box is placed on the support for transfer, generally the surface of the support is in a horizontal state, and the wafer carrier box is not limited on the horizontal surface of the support. When the support for transfer suddenly stops or shakes due to being bumped, the wafer carrier box may fall from both sides of the horizontal surface of the support, resulting in the wafer carrier box being impacted, and even the wafers inside the wafer carrier box popping out. There is a problem that the design of the support for transferring the wafer carrier box does not limit the wafer carrier box. Therefore, this application proposes a support frame structure for a wafer carrier box. Summary of the Utility Model

Specific embodiments

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a support frame structure of a wafer carrier box, including a bracket assembly for placing the wafer carrier box A, including a bottom frame 1, a vertical rod 2 connected to the corner position of the bottom of the bottom frame 1, and a baffle 3 connected to the top position of the vertical rod 2 on one side of the bottom surface. The vertical rod 2 is combined with the bottom frame 1 and the baffle 3 by conventional methods. A contraction spring 21 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the vertical rod 2. The support plate 41 moves vertically downward, and the collar 43 presses the contraction spring 21, so that the position of the support plate 41 can be changed. The baffle 3 is a bent plate structure, which can limit the wafer carrier box A placed on the support plate 41 to prevent it from falling from both sides. A connecting block 11 is vertically connected to the center position of one side of the bottom frame 1. The connecting block 11 is combined with the bottom frame 1 by conventional methods. The connecting block 11 plays a role in limiting the height position of the limiting plate 53;

[0027] A support component, including a support plate 41 parallel to the bottom frame 1, a cross bar 42 passing through the side position of the support plate 41, and a collar 43 connected to the end of the cross bar 42 and slidably sleeved on the outer side of the vertical rod 2. The wafer carrier box A is placed on the support plate 41, and the position of the support plate 41 can be lifted and lowered to increase the placement space and facilitate stacking of the wafer carrier box A;

[0028] The limiting member 5 installed at the central position on the side of the support plate 41 includes a sliding rod 51 passing through the support plate 41, a connecting rod 52 connected to the top end of the sliding rod 51, and a limiting plate 53 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 52. The sliding rod 51 is slidably connected to the support plate 41, and the position of the limiting member 5 can be changed. The limiting member 5 rotates around the position of the sliding rod 51, so that the limiting plate 53 can be placed in the limiting groove 111, and the limiting member 5 is limited by the connecting block 11, thereby limiting the position of the support plate 41.

[0029] In this embodiment, the baffle 3 includes an upper horizontal portion, an inclined portion, and a lower vertical portion. The top end of the vertical rod 2 is connected to the upper horizontal portion. The width H of the support plate 41 is the same as the distance between the opposite surfaces of the lower horizontal portion. The baffle 3 is a bent plate structure and is distributed on both sides of the surface of the support plate 41 to prevent the wafer carrier box A stacked on the support plate 41 from falling off from both sides.

[0030] In this embodiment, both ends of the contraction spring 21 are respectively connected to the bottom frame 1 and the collar 43. The baffle rods 411 are provided on the surface of both ends of the support plate 41 to prevent the wafer carrier box A placed on the support plate 41 from being limited by the baffle rods 411 and falling off.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rectangular limiting groove 111 is formed on the surface of the connecting block 11, and the limiting plate 53 is placed in the limiting groove 111, so that the limiting member 5 is limited by the connecting block 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the sliding rod 51 is an inverted "T" - shaped structure, the limiting plate 53 is a rectangular plate - shaped structure, the limiting plate 53 is in clearance fit with the limiting groove 111, and the distance between the depth of the limiting plate 53 and the limiting groove 111 is 1 centimeter. There is a distance between the limiting plate 53 located in the limiting groove 111 and the inner surface of the connecting block 11, which is conducive to the connecting rod 52 and the limiting plate 53 rotating around the sliding rod 51, and the angle of the limiting plate 53 can be changed.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model:

[0034] When the wafer carrier box A is placed and transported, the height position of the support plate 41 is adjusted and the support plate 41 is moved downward, and the collar 43 compresses the contraction spring 21;

[0035] When the support plate 41 moves downward to an appropriate position, at the same time, the connecting rod 52 and the limiting plate 53 are rotated around the sliding rod 51, so that the limiting plate 53 is placed in the limiting groove 111. At this time, the limiting member 5 is limited by the connecting block 11, and further the position of the support plate 41 is limited. The position of the support plate 41 can be raised and lowered, increasing the placement space and facilitating the stacking of the wafer carrier box A;

[0036] The wafer carrier box A is stacked on the surface of the support plate 41, and the baffle rods 411 provided on the surface of both ends of the support plate 41 block the wafer carrier box A to prevent it from falling.

[0037] The baffle 3 is a bent plate structure, which can limit the wafer carrier box A placed on the support plate 41 and prevent it from falling from both sides;

[0038] In summary: There is a limit design on the support frame to prevent the wafer carrier box from falling from both sides. The baffles 3 distributed on both sides limit the wafer carrier box A placed on the support plate 41 to prevent it from falling from both sides. The position of the support plate 41 can be lifted and lowered to increase the placement space, which is beneficial to stacking the wafer carrier box A. The stop bars 411 provided on the two end side surfaces of the support plate 41 block the wafer carrier box A to prevent it from falling.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, in order to increase the limiting effect, a limiting component is provided on the surface of the support plate 41. The limiting component includes an adjustment box 6 assembled separately from the support plate 41, partition plates 62 installed inside the adjustment box 6 and distributed at equal intervals, a fixed shaft 63 installed in the adjustment box 6 and passing through the partition plates 62, and a sliding column 61 passing through the side surface of the adjustment box 6 and the partition plates 62. The adjustment box 6 and the support plate 41 are combined, and the adjustment box 6 can be detached. The partition plates 62 play a partitioning role. When it is necessary to vertically place the disk-shaped wafer carrier box A, the partition plates 62 play a limiting role to prevent the vertically placed wafer carrier box A from tilting. Round heads are provided at both ends of the sliding column 61, and a rubber cylinder 611 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding column 61 at the position between adjacent partition plates 62. The rubber cylinder 611 plays a role in limiting the partition plates 62. Through holes are provided on the isosceles trapezoid-shaped partition plates 62, which is beneficial to the penetration of the sliding column 61 and the fixed shaft 63 and is beneficial to the adjustment of the angle of the partition plates 62. A limiting rubber ring identical to the rubber cylinder 611 is provided on the outer side of the fixed shaft 63 to play a role in positioning the partition plates 62. A fixed column 64 is provided on the surface of the adjustment box 6 facing the support plate 41, and a magnet block 641 is provided at one end of the fixed column 64. The magnet block 641 and the metal circular plate 412 on the support plate 41 make the installation of the adjustment box 6 stable.

[0041] In this embodiment, a circular groove is provided on the surface of the support plate 41, and the fixed column 64 is embedded in the circular groove to be limited. A metal circular plate 412 is provided in the support plate 41 in the circular groove, and the magnet block 641 is magnetically adsorbed to the corresponding metal circular plate 412 to make the installation of the adjustment box 6 stable.

[0042] In summary, when the wafer carrier box A in the shape of a disc needs to be placed vertically, the partition plate 62 plays a limiting role to prevent the vertically placed wafer carrier box A from tilting. By moving the sliding column 61, the rubber cylinder 611 drives the partition plate 62 to tilt, so that the wafer carrier box A can be placed obliquely, and the placement angle of the wafer carrier box A can be changed. When placed obliquely, under the action of friction, the vertically placed wafer carrier box A is prevented from rolling.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
