[0017] The following is a further detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present invention herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figures 1 to 6, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an anti-loosening overhead travelling table OHT mounting structure provided by the present invention. The anti-loosening overhead travelling table OHT mounting structure includes four strength screw posts 10 provided on a wafer pod POD 100, four anti-slip screw posts 20 provided on an overhead travelling table OHT 200, and a plurality of stamped screws 30 for locking the strength screw posts 10 and the anti-slip screw posts 20. It is contemplated that the anti-loosening overhead travelling table OHT mounting structure may also include other functional modules, such as mounting holes, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be further described here.

[0019] The anti-loosening overhead crane plate (OHT) mounting structure is installed on the wafer pod (POD) 100 and the overhead crane plate (OHT) 200. The wafer pod (POD) 100 effectively handles and stores wafers, ensuring their safety and efficiency during processing. The overhead crane plate (OHT) 200 is a critical automated handling system in semiconductor manufacturing plants, significantly improving the overall production process by increasing material transportation efficiency, reducing labor costs, and mitigating contamination risks. The wafer pod (POD) 100 and the overhead crane plate (OHT) 200 are common technologies and will not be further described here.

[0020] The strength screw column 10 is arranged on the side of the wafer box POD100 facing the overhead traveling platform OHT200 and extends toward the overhead traveling platform OHT200. The strength screw column 10 includes a fixing column 11 arranged on the wafer box POD100 and a strength column 12 arranged above the fixing column 11.

[0021] Multiple fixing columns 11 are positioned along the corners of the overhead crane platform (OHT) 200. These columns 11 are used to support the anti-slip screw columns 20. The outer diameter of each fixing column 11 is greater than the outer diameter of the strength column 12, forming a flat surface on each fixing column 11 to receive the anti-slip screw columns 20. Multiple support blocks 111 are evenly spaced around the perimeter of each fixing column 11 to prevent deformation of the fixing column 11 due to receiving the anti-slip screw columns 20, which could affect the installation of the wafer cassette (POD) 100 and the overhead crane platform (OHT) 200.

[0022] The strength column 12 and the fixing column 11 are arranged on the same central axis and are hollow cylindrical. A reinforcement layer 121 is evenly distributed on the inner sidewall of the strength column 12. This reinforcement layer 121 is made of a high-strength material, preferably a super-engineered material, to enhance the structural strength of the strength column 12. The reinforcement layer 121 is hollow and cylindrical and is disposed within the strength column 12. The strength column 12 and the reinforcement layer 121 form a first screw fixing hole. The diameter of the first screw fixing hole is equal to the diameter of the stamping screw 30, for receiving the stamping screw 30.

[0023] The anti-slip screw post 20 includes an anti-slip screw post body 21 and an anti-slip rib 22 provided on the inner side wall of the anti-slip screw post body 21. The position of the anti-slip screw post 20 on the overhead crane plate OHT200 corresponds to the position of the strength screw post 10 on the wafer pod POD100, so that the anti-slip screw post 20 is sleeved on the strength screw post 10.

[0024] The anti-slip screw column body 21 is located on the side of the overhead crane platen OHT 200 away from the wafer pod POD 100 and extends toward the wafer pod POD 100. The anti-slip screw column body 21 is hollow cylindrical. The inner diameter of the anti-slip screw column body 21 is equal to the outer diameter of the strength column 12. During installation, the anti-slip screw column body 21 is sleeved around the outer circumference of the strength column 12.

[0025] The anti-slip ribs 22 are evenly distributed on the inner sidewall of the anti-slip screw column body 21 at the end facing the wafer pod 100. The anti-slip ribs 22 are hollow cylindrical, with a mounting slot 221 defined on the side facing away from the wafer pod 100. The anti-slip ribs 22 and the anti-slip screw column body 21 form a second screw fixing hole, the diameter of which is equal to that of the printed screw 30, for mounting the printed screw 30. A plurality of printed protrusions 2211 are evenly distributed across the bottom of the mounting slot 221. The configuration of the mounting slot 221 is related to the printed screw 30, described below, and will be described in detail in conjunction with the printed screw 30.

[0026] The printed screw 30 includes a screw head 31 and a screw rod 32. A clamping edge 311 is provided at the bottom of the screw head 31. The diameter of the clamping edge 311 is equal to the outer diameter of the anti-slip rib 22, and the clamping edge 311 is provided with a printing groove 3111 on the side facing the screw rod 32. The shape and size of the printing groove 3111 correspond to the setting of the printing protrusion 2211, so that the printing protrusion 2211 can be tightly clamped in the printing groove 3111. The groove depth of the installation groove 221 is equal to the height of the clamping edge 311, so that the clamping edge 311 can be tightly installed in the installation groove 221. The printing groove 3111 of the clamping edge 311 and the printing protrusion 2211 of the installation groove 221 generate friction, preventing the screw head 31 and the anti-slip rib 22 from shaking after installation. The screw rod 32 is used to be installed in the first and second screw fixing holes, and is used to lock the strength screw column 10 and the anti-slip screw column 20.

[0027] After installation, the anti-slip screw post 20 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the strength post 12, and the anti-slip screw post 20 is positioned above the fixing post 11. The screw 32 is securely mounted in the first and second screw fixing holes to secure the strength screw post 10 and the anti-slip screw post 20. The printed protrusion 2211 is tightly secured in the printed groove 3111, and the locking edge 311 of the printed screw 30 fits tightly against the mounting groove 221 to increase friction and prevent the screw head 31 from shaking with the anti-slip rib 22.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-loosening overhead crane plate OHT installation structure that is provided with the strength screw column 10 and the anti-slip screw column 20 to ensure that the wafer box POD100 and the overhead crane plate OHT200 can still maintain a stable connection without loosening after long-term connection. The strength screw column 10 is provided with the reinforcement layer 121 to enhance the structural strength and reduce the shaking caused by wear of the strength screw column 10 after long-term connection with the printed screw 30. The anti-slip screw column 20 is provided with the anti-slip rib 22, and the anti-slip rib 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221 on the side away from the wafer box POD100. The bottom of the mounting groove 221 is provided with the printed protrusion 2211, which is tightly engaged with the printed groove 3111 on the printed screw 20, thereby increasing the friction between the printed screw 30 and the anti-slip screw column 20 after installation, and preventing the wafer box POD100 and the overhead crane plate OHT200 from shaking.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements within the spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
