[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] A wafer cassette lid-opening device includes a connecting seat 1. A cassette body 2 is arranged at the upper end of the connecting seat 1. Clamping plates 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right parts of the upper end of the cassette body 2 respectively. An installation frame 4 is fixedly installed at the front part of the upper end of the connecting seat 1. A rear closing plate 5 is installed at the rear end of the installation frame 4. A front closing plate 6 is installed at the front end of the installation frame 4. A lid-opening mechanism 7 is installed at the middle part of the front end of the rear closing plate 5. A control panel 8 is arranged at the lower right corner of the front end of the rear closing plate 5. Suction cups 9 are arranged at the four corners of the rear end of the front closing plate 6.
[0028] In this embodiment, the lid-opening mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 71. The output end of the cylinder 71 is fixedly connected with a connecting bar 72. The front end of the connecting bar 72 is fixedly connected with a moving plate 73. Through holes 74 are formed in the left and right ends of the moving plate 73. Slide columns 75 are slidably connected in the two through holes 74 respectively. The rear ends of the two slide columns 75 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 76. Knobs 77 are arranged at the rear ends of the two connecting blocks 76. Locking mechanisms 78 are arranged at the rear ends of the two knobs 77. The cylinder 71 is installed at the front end of the rear closing plate 5. The front end of the moving plate 73 does not contact the front closing plate 6. The two knobs 77 are inserted through the rear closing plate 5, and both extend to the rear of the rear closing plate 5.
[0029] Through the above scheme: the output end of the cylinder 71 pushes the moving plate 73 to move leftward through the connecting bar 72. When the moving plate 73 moves leftward, the two slide columns 75 slide in the two through holes 74 respectively, enabling the two connecting blocks 76 to rotate, and thus enabling the two knobs 77 to rotate.
[0030] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 78 includes a rotating piece 781. A rotating block 782 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the front end of the rotating piece 781. A rotating groove 783 is formed in the front end of the rotating block 782. Sliding buckle grooves 784 are formed in the upper and lower parts of the front end of the rotating piece 781 respectively. Sliding buckle blocks 785 are slidably connected in the two sliding buckle grooves 784 respectively. Locking plates 786 are fixedly connected to the front ends of the two sliding buckle blocks 785. T-shaped sliders 787 are fixedly connected to the front ends of the two locking plates 786. Fixing plates 788 are inserted and slidably connected to the fronts of the two T-shaped sliders 787. Locking buckles 789 are inserted through the ends of the two locking plates 786 away from the rotating piece 781. The rotating groove 783 is engaged with the knob 77. The two locking plates 786 do not contact the rotating block 782. The front ends of the two fixing plates 788 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the rear closing plate 5. The two locking buckles 789 are fixedly connected to the upper inner wall and the lower inner wall of the cassette body 2 respectively.
[0031] Through the above solution: the two knobs 77 are respectively engaged with the two rotating grooves 783, so that the rotating block 782 can drive the rotating piece 781 to rotate. When the rotating piece 781 rotates, the cooperation between the sliding buckle 785 and the sliding buckle groove 784 enables the two locking plates 786 to move relative to each other, so that the end parts of the two locking plates 786 are respectively disengaged from the two locking buckles 789. The two locking buckles 789 are installed on the inner upper wall and the inner lower wall of the box body 2, so that the wafer box can be quickly opened.
[0032] It should be noted that the present utility model is a device for opening the cover of a wafer box. During use, by starting the cylinder 71, the power output end thereof drives the moving plate 73 to move leftward via the connecting bar 72. During this movement, the moving plate 73 smoothly slides along the two sliding columns 75 in the corresponding sliding grooves 74, thereby triggering the rotation of the connecting block 76. As the connecting block 76 rotates, the two knobs 77 also rotate accordingly. They are respectively tightly embedded in the rotating grooves 783 and serve as the driving points for the rotation of the rotating block 782. When the rotating block 782 drives the rotating piece 781 to rotate, due to the precise cooperation between the sliding buckle 785 and the sliding buckle groove 784, the two locking plates 786 can approach or separate from each other, realizing their relative movement. This movement causes the end parts of the locking plates 786 that were originally in close contact with the locking buckles 789 to gradually disengage. The two locking buckles 789 are fixedly installed on the inner upper and lower wall surfaces of the box body 2 of the wafer box. It not only realizes the automatic and rapid disassembly and installation of the cover of the wafer box, greatly reducing the labor cost compared with the traditional manual operation, but also effectively avoids the secondary pollution that may be introduced during the cleaning process, ensures the high cleanliness of the inside of the wafer box after cleaning, further optimizes the overall cleaning process, and eliminates unnecessary operation steps.
