Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crystal boats, in particular to a transport jig for crystal boats. Background Art
[0002] During the semiconductor manufacturing process, the empty wafer boat needs to be cleaned and maintained, and the wafer boat needs to be moved during the cleaning and maintenance process. The wafer boat is usually made of polycrystalline silicon carbide and is easily damaged. The shape of the jig that currently carries the wafer boat is similar to a right angle. The jig is placed on a trolley. The jig mainly serves as a cushion to prevent the chassis of the wafer boat from being damaged by the trolley. When moving the wafer boat, two people are usually required. One person places the wafer boat on the jig and supports the wafer boat to prevent it from tipping over; the other person pulls the trolley and pulls the wafer boat to the designated location.
[0003] However, the existing method of transporting the wafer boat has the following problems:
[0004] 1. If the road surface is uneven or there are obstacles, it is easy to cause the trolley to vibrate or tilt during driving, which in turn causes the crystal boat to vibrate or tilt. If the column foot of the crystal boat is damaged, the crystal boat will be unusable, which will not only cause economic losses, but also affect the progress of equipment maintenance, causing equipment maintenance to exceed the time limit.
[0005] 2. The crystal boat cannot be fixed on the fixture. It requires two people to cooperate when moving the crystal boat. It cannot be done by one person, which takes up a lot of manpower costs. Utility Model Content

[0038] Preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 2 is cylindrical in shape, which can prevent the outer surface of the support plate 2 from damaging the wafer boat 10 when the wafer boat 10 is placed on the support plate 2 .
[0039] Preferably, reference Figure 3 As shown, the base plate 1 is provided with through holes for fixing. The through holes and bolts allow the transport jig to be detachably fixed to the trolley 20. In other embodiments, a slot can be provided on the lower surface of the base plate 1 to fix the transport jig to the trolley 20.
[0040] Preferably, Figure 3As shown, the bottom plate 1 is in the shape of a cuboid, so that the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1 can fit with the upper surface of the trolley 20, thereby improving the stability of the fixture.
[0041] In summary, the present invention provides a transport jig for a wafer boat 10. When the wafer boat 10 needs to be transported, the jig is first secured to the trolley 20, the handle 6 is opened, and the wafer boat 10 is then moved onto the jig. The base of the wafer boat 10 is securely positioned within the first groove 21 of the support plate 2. After the handle 6 is repositioned, the three legs 101 of the wafer boat 10 are secured by the second groove 41 on the cross plate 4 and the third groove 61 on the handle 6. This allows the wafer boat 10 to be secured in all directions, preventing it from tilting or vibrating. This transport jig has the unexpected benefit of effectively preventing the wafer boat 10 from tilting or vibrating during transport, and can be transported by one person, saving labor costs.
