Equipment can also be placed in the frame without the XY plane limiting plates installed, and then the XY plane limiting plates can be installed later to limit the upper part of the equipment. This allows for the selection of a suitable XY plane limiting plate based on the size or type of equipment to be placed. An electric push rod can drive a lightweight plate and multiple push heads to move along the height direction of the frame. These push heads can in turn drive a Z-axis limiting plate to move along the height direction of the frame. Therefore, the electric push rod can be controlled according to the height of the equipment to adjust the position of the Z-axis limiting plate, ultimately clamping the equipment between the Z-axis limiting plate and the XY plane limiting plates. This universal pod fixing bracket is suitable for various pod sizes, thus meeting the needs of diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, the equipment placed within the frame can be fully secured with six degrees of freedom, ensuring stable fixation for pods of different sizes, reducing the risk of damage during transportation, while maintaining ease of operation and high system reliability.

[0044] See Figure 1-7 This invention provides a universal pod fixing bracket, which includes a frame, a Z-axis limiting plate 2, a driving device, and a guide structure. The frame includes an XY plane limiting plate 11, a top cover plate 12, and a pod fixing bracket. The top cover plate 12 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the pod fixing bracket. There are multiple XY plane limiting plates 11, and any one of the XY plane limiting plates 11 is detachably connected to the top cover plate 12. Each XY plane limiting plate 11 has an inlet / outlet port 8, and the inlet / outlet ports 8 of the multiple XY plane limiting plates 11 have different sizes. The driving device includes an electric push rod 31, a lightweight plate 32, and multiple push heads 33. One end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly disposed at the bottom center of the frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the lightweight plate 32. The multiple push heads 33 are spaced apart and fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the lightweight plate 32. All of the multiple push heads 33 are connected to the Z-axis limiting plate 2.

[0045] In this universal pod mounting bracket, the access ports 8 of multiple XY plane limiting plates 11 are of different sizes. By connecting different XY plane limiting plates 11 to the top cover plate 12, the universal pod mounting bracket can be equipped with access ports 8 of different sizes. The equipment can enter and exit the frame through the access ports 8, or the equipment can be placed in without the XY plane limiting plates 11 installed, and then the XY plane limiting plates 11 can be installed after the equipment is placed in, so that the XY plane limiting plates 11 can limit the upper part of the equipment.

The first step 112 is closer to the access passage 8 than the second step 111, and the second step 111 cooperates with the stepped groove. The first step 112 is provided with a pod mounting hole 1121. It can be understood that the second step 111 is fixedly attached to the stepped groove, and the first step 112 is lower than the second step 111. The upper end of the equipment placed in the frame can ultimately abut against the lower surface of the first step 112, and can also be fixed to the frame through the pod mounting hole 1121. This further ensures the strength of the overall structure and the stability of the equipment during transportation.

[0052] Optionally, a vibration-damping rubber 5 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the guide post 41, and the vibration-damping rubber 5 abuts against the top cover plate 12. The vibration-damping rubber 5 can play a role in shock absorption.

[0053] Optionally, the lower end of the top cover plate 12 is provided with four connecting bosses 121, each with a third threaded hole 1211. The four connecting bosses 121 are respectively inserted into the four hollow support columns 131, each with a fourth threaded hole 1311. The second bolts are screwed into the third threaded hole 1211 and the fourth threaded hole 1311 respectively. This enhances the stability of the frame.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, an annular rubber ring 6 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the Z-axis limiting plate 2. This can fix the position of the equipment on the Z-axis limiting plate 2 and also realize vibration reduction between the equipment and the Z-axis limiting plate 2.
