Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transport, in particular to a crown crane carrying structure. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of smart factories, the variety of automated handling systems is increasing to save labor costs and transport time. Overhead Hoist Transfers (OHTs), among them, offer more efficient space utilization and increased transport path flexibility, making them the most widely used handling tool in wafer fabrication plants. In the fiercely competitive semiconductor industry, in addition to the rapid advancement of advanced process technologies, smart factories also require the optimization of existing production line operations and improved production efficiency. Consequently, major manufacturers are continuously developing related equipment and designing new features.

[0003] To promote innovative equipment and features, the semiconductor industry must showcase its products at exhibitions and demonstrate their capabilities. However, the following issues and deficiencies exist when displaying aerial transport vehicles:

[0004] First, OHT-related equipment, such as rails, is often bulky and requires precise positioning, often requiring lengthy assembly and testing times. Consequently, most OHT displays are held in-house, with the only method being to invite customers to visit the factory, resulting in less than ideal promotional results.

[0005] Second, for large-scale equipment, the best exhibition venues are usually World Trade Centers or expos. Common characteristics of such venues are limited opening hours and limited equipment display space. In addition, the assembly and testing of OHT-related equipment is relatively time-consuming, which can easily compress the actual exhibition time, or due to space constraints, not all equipment can be displayed at once.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to design a crane carrying structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] One purpose of the present invention is to provide a crane transport structure, which can shorten the assembly time at the exhibition site by assembling the crane system and the container body at a different location, thereby making full use of the limited exhibition time.

[0008] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] The overhead crane carrying structure includes:

[0010] A container body having an outer frame, a bottom plate disposed on the bottom surface of the outer frame, a top plate disposed on the top surface of the outer frame, and a plurality of display openings formed on the side surfaces of the outer frame;

[0011] A trolley track is fixed on the top plate;

[0012] A crane body, movably arranged on the above-mentioned crane track;

[0013] a suspension frame fixed to the top plate and located within the access range of the overhead crane body;

[0014] At least one semiconductor carrier is placed within the access range of the overhead crane body;

[0015] a control device disposed in the container body and electrically connected to the overhead travelling crane body; and

[0016] A power supply system is electrically connected to the control device and the overhead crane body.

[0017] As an optional solution, the base plate is provided with at least one transport station simulation component.

[0018] As an optional solution, the base plate is provided with at least one conveyor belt simulation component.

[0019] As an optional solution, a transport vehicle is movably provided outside the container body to take and place the semiconductor carrier from the display opening.

[0020] As an optional solution, the control device is connected to a motion operating device.

[0021] As an optional solution, the container body is provided with a plurality of moving wheels.

[0022] As an optional solution, a plurality of balancing supports are movably provided on the outer frame.

[0023] As an optional solution, a light-transmitting partition is provided on at least one of the plurality of display openings.

[0024] As an optional solution, at least one of the plurality of display openings is provided with a baffle portion.

[0025] As an optional solution, the semiconductor carrier is a wafer box or a material box.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] The present invention provides an overhead crane transport structure comprising an overhead crane track, an overhead crane body, a suspension frame, a semiconductor carrier, a control device, and a power supply system, collectively referred to as an overhead crane system. Users can pre-assemble the overhead crane system at a different location before display by simply integrating the overhead crane system with a container body. By transporting the entire container body to the display location, assembly time at the display location can be reduced, effectively utilizing the limited display time. Furthermore, each component of the overhead crane system is a partial structure of an actual product, simulating the key appearance and functional movements of the actual product. This allows users to rationally arrange the placement of the components of the overhead crane system without time pressure, fully utilizing the limited space within the container body to fully display all products. The aforementioned technology addresses the issues inherent in the display of general-purpose overhead transport vehicles (OHTs), such as the fact that most display venues are located within their own factories, resulting in unsatisfactory promotional results, and the time-consuming assembly and testing of OHT-related equipment, which can easily compress the actual display time or prevent all equipment from being displayed simultaneously due to space constraints. This achieves the aforementioned practical and progressive advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] Example 1

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 The figure shows a perspective view and a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the present invention includes:

[0043] A container body 1 comprises an outer frame 11, a bottom plate 12 disposed on the bottom surface of the outer frame 11, a top plate 13 disposed on the top surface of the outer frame 11, and a plurality of display openings 14 formed on the side surfaces of the outer frame 11;

[0044] A trolley track 21 is fixed on the top plate 13;

[0045] A crane body 22 is movably disposed on the crane track 21;

[0046] A suspension bracket 23 is fixed to the top plate 13 and is located within the access range of the overhead travelling vehicle body 22;

[0047] At least one semiconductor carrier 26 is placed in the access range of the overhead crane body 22. The semiconductor carrier 26 is a wafer cassette or a magazine.

[0048] a control device 24 disposed in the container body 1 and electrically connected to the overhead travelling crane body 22; and

[0049] A power supply system 25 is electrically connected to the control device 24 and the overhead travelling crane body 22 .

[0050] The container body 1 is a standard container or a custom-made large container. The outer frame 11 is a rectangular metal frame. The display port 14 is an opening formed by the outer frame 11. The overhead crane track 21 is a double-track suspended circular track secured to the top plate 13. The overhead crane body 22 is a transport device that operates on the overhead track. The suspension frame 23 is an open semiconductor carrier rack secured to the top plate 13. The control device 24 includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a touch screen human-machine interface. The power supply system 25 can be a generator, an external power supply, or a battery. For example, the control device 24 can be powered by an external power supply, and the overhead crane body 22 can be powered by a battery. In this embodiment, a generator is used as an example. However, the corresponding types of the above components are merely examples of preferred embodiments. Any types with the same functions fall within the scope of the present invention and are not limited to the above examples.

[0051] The above description has already given an understanding of the structure of the present technology. Based on the corresponding coordination of this structure, the advantage of quickly completing the installation of the overhead crane system 2 at the exhibition site can be achieved. As can be clearly seen from the figure, the overhead crane track 21, the overhead crane body 22, the suspension frame 23, the semiconductor carrier 26, the control device 24 and the power supply system 25 are referred to as the overhead crane system 2. The user only needs to combine the overhead crane system 2 with the container body 1 in advance, so that the overhead crane system 2 can be assembled at a different location before the exhibition. By transporting the entire container body 1 to the exhibition site, the display openings 1 can be moved during transportation. The baffle 82 is used to seal the container body 1, preventing wind, rain, dust, and dirt from entering. This saves assembly time at the display location and fully utilizes the limited display time. Furthermore, each component of the overhead crane system 2 is a partial structure of an actual product, which can be used to simulate the key appearance and functional movements of the actual product. This allows users to arrange the placement of each component of the overhead crane system 2 without time pressure, and to utilize the partial structure for complete display, thereby fully utilizing the limited space within the container body 1 to fully display all products. For example, the overhead crane track 21 may actually be hundreds of meters long, but the container body 1 only has a small circular track. For another example, the suspension bracket 23 can be located outside the overhead crane track 21 within the reach of the overhead crane body 22, but due to space limitations, it is located below the overhead crane track 21. Furthermore, since the display of the overhead crane system 2 requires more than just assembly and fixing, its automated motion processes all require calibration and testing. Therefore, the present invention simultaneously integrates the control device 24 and the power supply system 25 into the container body 1, allowing the user to perform calibration and testing directly after assembly is completed at a different location. This significantly reduces the adjustment process and time consumed after transporting the system to the site. Furthermore, the control device 24 can even automatically control the operation of the overhead crane system 2 as soon as power is supplied.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Please also refer to Figure 4The figure shows a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, this embodiment is largely similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, except that at least one transport station simulation 3 or at least one conveyor belt simulation 4 is provided on the base plate 12. The transport station simulation 3 is an equipment platform, such as a wafer stocker or wafer loading port, located at a fixed point for storing or temporarily placing semiconductor carriers 26. The conveyor belt simulation 4 is a semiconductor conveyor belt connected to a track between two fixed points, serving as a logistics line. The present invention installs the transport station simulation 3 and the conveyor belt simulation 4 within the container body 1 and within the access range of the overhead crane body 22. This simulates the movement of semiconductor carriers 26 being freely transported between the transport station simulation 3, the conveyor belt simulation 4, and the suspension frame 23 by the overhead crane body 22. This also illustrates that the peripheral devices of the overhead crane system 2 can also be displayed in conjunction with the container body 1.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Please also refer to Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, this embodiment is similar to the above embodiment, except that a transport vehicle 5 is provided outside the container body 1 to take and place the semiconductor carrier 26 from the display port 14, and the control device 24 is connected to a mobile operating device 6, which is a laptop or smart phone, etc., and the transport vehicle 5 can move freely on the ground to transport the semiconductor carrier 26. For example, an unmanned transport vehicle (UTV) Vehicle, UTV), or an unmanned transport vehicle combined with a robotic arm. Since most of these transport vehicles 5 are intelligent, they can operate automatically after the action mode is set by software. In this embodiment, the transportation station simulation component 3 and the conveyor belt simulation component 4 are both arranged on the side close to the display port 14. Therefore, the control device 24 can set the transport vehicle 5 to move outside the container body 1 and transport the semiconductor carrier 26 between the transportation station simulation component 3 and the conveyor belt simulation component 4 through the display port 14. It can also be further adjusted at any time through the action operation device 6. The display action can be adjusted according to the needs of visitors, and the addition of human operation increases the freedom of the display action. Of course, since the action operation device 6 is connected to the control device 24 for information, the actions of other components such as the overhead crane body 22 can also be set at the same time.

[0056] Example 4

[0057] Please also refer to Figure 6The figure shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention in use. It is clear from the figure that this embodiment is substantially similar to the above-described embodiments, except that a plurality of movable wheels 71 are provided on the container body 1, or a plurality of balancing supports 72 are movably provided on the outer frame 11. In this embodiment, the movable wheels 71 are provided on the bottom surface of the outer frame 11 of the container body 1, and the balancing supports 72 are movably provided within the four upright posts of the outer frame 11. Since the container body 1 itself is relatively heavy, although it can be directly lifted into position and then lowered using a crane, if the position cannot be achieved in one go, repeated lifting and lowering operations are necessary, which is time-consuming. However, the design of the movable wheels 71 allows the crane to roughly place the container body 1 in the predetermined position, and the user can then fine-tune the position by moving the crane. This reduces the crane's billable hours and allows positioning to be completed simply and quickly. In addition, exhibition halls are often rented and may have uneven ground. The container body 1 of the present invention contains a high-precision overhead crane system 2. If the container body 1 is tilted, it will increase the risk of transportation or cause trouble in setting up. The balancing support 72 can be used to immediately adjust the horizontal balance of the container body 1 according to the level of the exhibition hall ground, thereby reducing the risk of the above problems.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] Please also refer to Figure 7 FIG2 is a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of the present invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, this embodiment is similar to the above embodiments, except that a light-transmitting partition 81 is provided on at least one of the plurality of display openings 14, or a baffle portion 82 is provided on at least one of the plurality of display openings 14. The light-transmitting partition 81 is a glass sheet, acrylic plate, or other transparent plastic plate that is detachably provided on the display opening 14, and the baffle portion 82 is a wooden board, partition board, or other opaque plastic plate that is detachably provided on the display opening 14. Both the light-transmitting partition 81 and the baffle portion 82 have the function of isolating the inside and outside of the container body 1, which can prevent dust and dirt in the exhibition hall from contaminating the overhead crane system 2. The light-transmitting partition 81 also has the function of isolating visitors, which can prevent visitors from touching, moving, or taking internal components. This can avoid injuring visitors, prevent abnormal operation of equipment due to deviation, and deter or prevent theft and vandalism. The baffle portion 82 can be set on the non-aisle side according to the location of the container body 1 in the exhibition hall. The baffle portion 82 can be set on the non-aisle side to separate it from other booths and make the background of the overhead crane system 2 cleaner, so that visitors will not be able to see the movement of the overhead crane system 2 clearly due to the chaotic background, or posters and other promotional materials can be placed on the baffle portion 82 without affecting the viewing of the overhead crane system 2.

[0060] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
