Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, specifically to a flower basket inversion reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production processes, baskets are crucial tools for silicon wafer transport and handling, and their accurate placement on the production line is paramount. However, with increasing production line complexity, the issue of basket placement orientation (i.e., whether the baskets are placed backwards) has become increasingly apparent. Especially in automated equipment, how to handle baskets placed backwards in a timely and efficient manner has become a pressing technical challenge.

[0003] Traditional automated equipment often faces the challenge of quickly detecting and restoring flower baskets to their correct position when they are placed upside down. Current methods typically require manual intervention from operators to remove the upside-down baskets from the automated channel and adjust them. This method is not only time-consuming but also carries a significant risk of operator error due to the need for manual operation, especially when abnormalities occur during production, which can easily lead to equipment malfunctions or safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a flower basket inversion restoration device to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] This application provides a flower basket reversal device, applied in a flower basket conveying production line, comprising:

[0006] A first positioning plate, on which a plurality of first limiting posts are fixedly mounted;

[0007] The second positioning plate is set at a distance from the first positioning plate and is installed on the flower basket conveyor line to carry the flower baskets.

[0008] A fixed bracket is connected to the side of the first positioning plate away from the first limiting post;

[0009] The lifting drive mechanism is connected to the fixed bracket and the flower basket conveying production line respectively to control the fixed bracket and the first positioning plate to lift and lower, so that the first limiting post moves away from or close to the flower basket, thereby releasing or limiting the flower basket.

[0010] The first rotary drive mechanism is connected to the fixed space and the first positioning plate respectively, so as to drive the first positioning plate to rotate and drive the flower basket to rotate after the flower basket is limited.

[0011] In some implementations, the flower basket reversal device also includes:

[0012] The stop block is fixed at one end of the second positioning plate;

[0013] Telescopic drive mechanism; fixed at the other end of the second positioning plate;

[0014] The limit push block is set at a distance from the stop block and is connected to the telescopic drive mechanism to fix the flower basket between the stop block and the limit push block as it moves with the telescopic drive mechanism.

[0015] In some implementations, the flower basket reversal device also includes:

[0016] The second rotary drive mechanism is located on the side of the second positioning plate away from the first positioning plate, and is used to drive the second positioning plate to rotate, thereby causing the flower basket to rotate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the side of the second positioning plate near the first positioning plate is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the interior of the second positioning plate is provided with a linkage mechanism and a plurality of second limiting posts;

[0018] One end of the second limiting post passes through the through hole, and the other end is hinged to the linkage mechanism;

[0019] The linkage mechanism is connected to the limiting push block, which is used to limit the movement of the pushing block along the preset track in the second positioning plate, thereby driving the second limiting post to extend out of the through hole to close to the flower basket and limit the flower basket, or to retract the through hole to release the flower basket.

[0020] In some embodiments, the height of the second limiting post does not exceed the height of the second positioning plate.

[0021] In some embodiments, the flower basket is provided with multiple limiting holes on both the side near the first positioning plate and the side near the second positioning plate, and the first limiting post and the second limiting post are inserted into the corresponding limiting holes to limit the flower basket.

[0022] In some embodiments, four first limiting posts are fixed on the first positioning plate, and four second limiting posts are provided inside the second positioning plate.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first rotary drive mechanism, the lifting drive mechanism, and the telescopic drive mechanism are all cylinders.

[0024] In some embodiments, a flower basket anti-reverse sensing device is provided on the flower basket conveyor production line to detect the placement direction of the flower basket. After the flower basket anti-reverse sensing device detects that the flower basket is placed in reverse, the lifting drive mechanism operates separately to limit the flower basket. After the flower basket is limited, the first rotation drive mechanism operates to drive the flower basket to rotate and correct it to the correct direction.

[0025] In some embodiments, the anti-reflection sensing device for the flower basket is a diffuse reflection sensor or a laser sensor.

[0026] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application, when the flower basket is placed upside down on the second positioning plate, controls the first positioning plate to descend via a lifting drive mechanism, thereby limiting the flower basket through the first limiting post of the first positioning plate. Subsequently, a rotation drive mechanism controls the first positioning plate to rotate, thereby causing the flower basket to rotate synchronously, thus achieving automatic limiting and rotation correction when the flower basket is placed upside down. The flower basket reversal device provided in this application, through automated processing, can accurately control the flower basket to return to its original position, reducing manual operation and the risk of error, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of upside-down flower baskets, and improving the production line efficiency.

[0038] This application provides a flower basket reversal restoration device, applied to a flower basket conveyor production line to restore the position of flower baskets when they are reversed on the conveyor line. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the flower basket inversion restoration device provided in an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the flower basket inversion restoration device includes:

[0039] A first positioning plate 110 is fixedly provided with a plurality of first limiting posts 111. Optionally, the first limiting posts 111 are used to engage with the flower basket 10, thereby limiting the flower basket 10 before controlling its rotation and preventing unnecessary displacement of the flower basket 10 during the rotation process.

[0040] The second positioning plate 120 is arranged at a distance from the first positioning plate 110 and is set on the flower basket conveyor line (not shown) to carry the flower basket 10. Optionally, the flower basket 10 is conveyed to the second positioning plate 120 via the flower basket conveyor line. When the flower basket 10 is placed upside down, the first limiting post 111 on the first positioning plate 110 will lock the top of the flower basket 10, so that the flower basket is fixed between the first positioning plate 110 and the second positioning plate 120.

[0041] The fixed bracket 200 is connected to the side of the first positioning plate 110 away from the first limiting post 111, and is used to fix the first positioning plate 110.

[0042] The lifting drive mechanism 300 is connected to the fixed bracket 200 and the flower basket conveyor line, respectively, to control the lifting movement of the fixed bracket 200 and the first positioning plate 110, so that the first limiting post 111 moves away from or close to the flower basket 10, thereby releasing or limiting the flower basket 10. Optionally, the lifting drive mechanism 300 controls the lifting movement of the first positioning plate 110 and the fixed bracket 200. When the flower basket 10 on the second positioning plate 120 is placed upside down, the lifting drive mechanism 300 controls the first positioning plate 110 and the fixed bracket 200 to descend, so that the first limiting post 111 moves close to the flower basket 10 and limits the flower basket 10. After the flower basket 10 is adjusted to the correct position, the lifting drive mechanism 300 controls the first positioning plate 110 and the fixed bracket 200 to rise, so that the first limiting post 111 moves away from the flower basket 10 to release the flower basket 10, allowing the flower basket 10 to be transported normally along the flower basket conveyor line.

[0043] The first rotary drive mechanism 410 is connected to the fixed bracket 200 and the first positioning plate 110 respectively, so as to drive the first positioning plate 110 to rotate and drive the flower basket 10 to rotate after the flower basket 10 is limited. Optionally, after the lifting drive mechanism 300 drives the first limiting column 111 to limit the flower basket 10, the first rotary drive mechanism 410 operates, thereby driving the first positioning plate 110 to rotate, and the first positioning plate 110 in turn drives the flower basket 10 to rotate, thereby correcting the placement direction of the flower basket.

[0044] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application embodiment is applied to a flower basket conveying production line. In actual application, the flower baskets on the flower basket conveying production line are conveyed to the second positioning plate 120. If the flower basket is placed in the correct direction, it continues to be conveyed after passing the second positioning plate 120. If the flower basket is placed in the wrong direction, the lifting drive mechanism 300 starts to control the fixed bracket 200 and the first positioning plate 110 to descend until the first limiting post 111 engages with the flower basket to limit the flower basket. After the flower basket is limited, the first rotation drive mechanism 410 controls the first positioning plate 110 to rotate. The first positioning plate 110 drives the flower basket to rotate, thereby correcting the placement direction of the flower basket.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first rotary drive mechanism 410 is used to control the flower basket to rotate 180 degrees in order to correct the flower basket that has been placed upside down.

[0046] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the basket conveyor production line can be a basket conveyor production line inside a semiconductor device or a basket conveyor production line on an automated production line, and the embodiments of this application do not limit it in this way.

[0047] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application, through automated processing, can accurately control the flower basket repositioning, reducing manual operation and error risks, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of flower basket reversal, and improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the flower basket reversal device provided in this application embodiment also includes a telescopic drive mechanism 500, a stop block 510, and a limiting push block 520.

[0049] In this configuration, a stop block 510 is fixed to one end of the second positioning plate 120, a telescopic drive mechanism 500 is fixed to the other end of the second positioning plate 120, and a limiting push block 520 is spaced apart from the stop block 510 and connected to the telescopic drive mechanism 500. This limiting push block 520 moves with the telescopic drive mechanism 500 to fix the flower basket 10 between the stop block 510 and the limiting push block 520. Optionally, the flower basket, placed upside down, is positioned between the stop block 510 and the limiting push block 520 on the second positioning plate 120. The telescopic drive mechanism 500 operates, causing the limiting push block 520 to move on the second positioning plate 120 until the limiting push block 520 and the stop block 510 are in close contact with the flower basket, thereby fixing the flower basket in place.

[0050] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application embodiment has a telescopic drive mechanism 500, a stop block 510 and a limiting push block 520 set on the second positioning plate 120 to further fix the flower basket together with the first limiting post 111, thereby preventing the flower basket from shifting during rotation and further improving the reliability of the flower basket reversal device.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the flower basket inversion restoration device provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0052] The second rotary drive mechanism 420 is disposed on the side of the second positioning plate 120 away from the first positioning plate 110. It is used to drive the second positioning plate 120 to rotate and drive the flower basket to rotate. Optionally, when the flower basket is placed upside down and is limited, the second rotary drive mechanism 420 and the first rotary drive mechanism 410 operate, respectively driving the first positioning plate 110 and the second positioning plate 120 to rotate, thereby driving the flower basket to rotate, so as to restore the flower basket that was placed upside down.

[0053] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application embodiment is equipped with a second rotary drive mechanism 420 and a first rotary drive mechanism 410 jointly controlling the rotation of the flower basket, which further improves the reliability of the flower basket reversal device.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 2 A view of the second positioning plate provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. As shown in Figure 2, in the flower basket inversion restoration device provided in this embodiment of the application, the second positioning plate 120 is provided with a plurality of through holes (not shown) on the side near the first positioning plate 110, and the interior of the second positioning plate is provided with a linkage mechanism 121 and a plurality of second limiting posts 122.

[0055] One end of the second limiting post 122 passes through the through hole, and the other end is hinged to the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism 121 is connected to the limiting push block 520 and is used to move along the preset track in the second positioning plate 120 when the limiting push block 520 moves, thereby driving the second limiting post 122 to extend out of the through hole to get close to the flower basket and limit the flower basket, or to retract the through hole to release the flower basket. Optionally, when the telescopic drive mechanism 500 operates and controls the limit push block 520 to approach the flower basket, the linkage mechanism component connected to the limit push block 520 will move synchronously with the limit push block 520 (along a predetermined track). At this time, the linkage mechanism component connected to the second limit post 122 will drive the second limit post 122 to extend out of the through hole. After the limit push block 520 limits the flower basket, the second limit post 122 will synchronously approach the flower basket, thereby limiting the bottom of the flower basket. When the telescopic drive mechanism 500 operates and controls the limit push block 520 to move away from the flower basket, the linkage mechanism component connected to the limit push block 520 will move synchronously with the limit push block 520. At this time, the linkage mechanism component connected to the second limit post 122 will drive the second limit post 122 to retract into the through hole. After the limit push block 520 resets, the second limit post 122 will synchronously reset.

[0056] It is understood that the purpose of this application is to apply the linkage mechanism to the restoration of a flower basket, and the linkage mechanism is a relatively common and widely used technical means in the field of mechanical engineering. The relevant principles, structural forms, and basic working methods of the linkage mechanism have been extensively studied and applied in practice, and there are numerous mature application examples in many different types of mechanical equipment and various industrial production scenarios. Given its widespread recognition and relatively complete related technical information, this application will not provide a detailed description or explanation of the linkage mechanism here.

[0057] The flower basket reversal device provided in this application embodiment has a linkage mechanism and a second limiting post in the second positioning plate to limit the bottom of the flower basket, which further prevents the flower basket from shifting during rotation and improves the reliability of the flower basket reversal device.

[0058] In some embodiments, in the flower basket reversal device provided in this application, the height of the second limiting post 122 does not exceed the height of the second positioning plate 120, so that the second limiting post 122 can retract into the second positioning plate 120 when it does not extend out of the through hole to limit the flower basket.

[0059] In some embodiments, the flower basket reversal device provided in this application has multiple limiting holes on the side of the flower basket 10 near the first positioning plate 110. Each first limiting post 111 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole at the top of the flower basket, thereby fixing the top of the flower basket through the limiting hole at the top of the flower basket and the first limiting post 111, further improving the reliability of the flower basket reversal device. The flower basket 10 also has multiple limiting holes on the side near the second positioning plate 120. Each second limiting post 122 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole at the bottom of the flower basket, thereby fixing the bottom of the flower basket through the limiting hole at the bottom of the flower basket and the second limiting post 122, further improving the reliability of the flower basket reversal device.

[0060] In some embodiments, the flower basket reversal device provided in this application includes four first limiting posts 111 fixed on the first positioning plate 110 and four second limiting posts 122 inside the second positioning plate 120. This ensures that the force is evenly distributed when the top and bottom of the flower basket are fixed by the first limiting posts 111 and the second limiting posts 122, further improving the reliability of the flower basket reversal device and reducing the burden on each limiting post.

[0061] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit the number of the first limiting post 111 and the second limiting post 122. In fact, the number of the first limiting post 111 and the second limiting post 122 can be set according to the limiting capability and cost.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first rotary drive mechanism 410, the second rotary drive mechanism 420, the lifting drive mechanism 300, and the telescopic drive mechanism 500 in the flower basket inversion restoration device provided in this application are all cylinders.

[0063] In some embodiments, the flower basket anti-reverse restoration device provided in this application includes a flower basket anti-reverse sensing device installed on the flower basket conveyor production line to detect the placement direction of the flower basket. The lifting drive mechanism 300 operates separately after the flower basket anti-reverse sensing device detects that the flower basket is placed in reverse to limit the flower basket. The first rotation drive mechanism 410 and the second rotation drive mechanism 420 operate after the flower basket is limited to drive the flower basket to rotate and correct it to the correct direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, on the flower basket conveyor production line, a flower basket reversal sensing device is installed before the flower basket reversal restoration device provided in this application embodiment to detect the placement direction of the flower basket in advance, so that the flower basket reversal sensing device can obtain the placement direction of the flower basket, thereby controlling the flower basket to be restored after it is placed in reverse, and enabling the flower basket to be transported normally when it is not placed in reverse, further improving the automation capability of the flower basket reversal restoration device.

[0065] In some embodiments, the anti-reverse sensing device for the flower basket provided in this application is a diffuse reflection sensor or a laser sensor.

[0066] The flower basket restoration device provided in this application embodiment fixes the reversed flower basket between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate through a lifting drive mechanism and a telescopic displacement mechanism, and controls the rotation of the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate through a first rotation drive mechanism, thereby driving the flower basket to rotate synchronously, realizing the restoration of the reversed flower basket. The flower basket restoration process avoids manual intervention and improves production efficiency and work stability.

[0067] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
