[0002] In the process of automatic continuous production of products such as photovoltaic and semiconductor products, when it is necessary to immerse workpieces in a liquid medicine tank or transfer them centrally, a carrier is often required. The workpieces are centrally transported by the carrier, which is convenient for the robotic arm to grasp and transfer quickly.

[0003] Moreover, during the cleaning process of the wafer carrier, the lifting adjustment of the entire wafer carrier is realized by grasping the card slots on the side plate of the carrier through a grasping device.

[0004] For example, the prior art Chinese patent publication number "CN217641248U" provides a wafer carrier hook and a carrier grasping device, including: a hook body with an integrated structure and provided with a plurality of grasping units, and the plurality of grasping units of the hook body can be used to grasp a plurality of wafer carriers; and at least one connecting member connected to the hook body, and the connecting member is also connected to the bracket of the carrier grasping device.

[0005] This device can improve the strength of the carrier hook, reduce the deformation amount of the carrier hook working in a harsh environment, ensure the accuracy and reliability of the carrier hook during high-intensity and frequent telescopic movements, and avoid serious fault problems such as pressing the carrier, tipping the carrier, and missing grasping.

[0006] For the existing grasping device for an anti-dropping wafer carrier, the grasped carrier is relatively heavy after holding wafers. The grasped carrier is prone to shaking during movement and fails to be firmly clamped, which will cause the carrier to disengage from the grasping device, resulting in the dropping of the carrier and the wafers inside it, and it is not safe enough. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the disadvantages in the prior art that the grasped carrier is relatively heavy after holding wafers, the grasped carrier is prone to shaking during movement, fails to be firmly clamped, which will cause the carrier to disengage from the grasping device, resulting in the dropping of the carrier and the wafers inside it, and to propose a grasping device for an anti-dropping wafer carrier.
