[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a feeding and discharging system to solve the problem that the feeding and discharging system cannot work with the cleaning table device capable of feeding and discharging in the width direction.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a feeding and discharging system, which comprises a flower basket conveying device, a sheet inserting and discharging device, a flower basket moving mechanism and a boat moving mechanism. The flower basket conveying device is used to convey the flower basket loaded with the sheet material. The sheet inserting and discharging device is located on one side of the sheet inserting and discharging device along the X-axis direction and is used to transfer the sheet material between the flower basket and the carrier boat. The flower basket moving mechanism is used to transfer the flower basket between the sheet inserting and discharging device and the flower basket conveying device.

The carrier boat conveying assembly is located on the side of the basket conveying assembly facing the cleanroom unit from the basket conveying mechanism, and is located on the X-axis side of the cleanroom unit. The carrier boat conveying assembly has a third end and a fourth end opposite each other along the X-axis, the third end being closer to the basket conveying mechanism than the fourth end. The sheet insertion and removal mechanism extends along the Y-axis and is located above all the second and fourth ends, and is used to transfer the sheet between the basket at the second end and the carrier boat at the fourth end. The carrier boat conveying mechanism transfers the carrier boat between the temporary storage rack outside the cleanroom unit and the third end.

[0009] In some embodiments, both the flower basket conveying assembly and the carrier boat conveying assembly include a conveying rail and a platform. The conveying rail extends along the X-axis, and the platform is slidably connected to the conveying rail. The insert / unload device also includes a top plate mechanism, which is vertically mounted below the flower basket conveying assembly. The top plate mechanism can pass through the platform to support the sheet, so that when the platform of the flower basket conveying assembly carries the flower basket and moves to the second end, the top plate mechanism removes the sheet from the flower basket or places the sheet into the flower basket. And / or the top plate mechanism is vertically mounted below the carrier boat conveying assembly, and the top plate mechanism can pass through the platform of the carrier boat conveying assembly to support the sheet, so that when the platform of the carrier boat conveying assembly carries the carrier boat and moves to the fourth end, the top plate mechanism removes the sheet from the carrier boat or places the sheet into the carrier boat.

[0010] In some embodiments, the top sheet mechanism includes a lifting module and a pushing member connected to the lifting module. The pushing member of the top sheet mechanism is located below the basket conveying assembly and the carrier boat conveying assembly. The lifting module is configured to drive the pushing member to move up and down and to allow at least a portion of the pushing member to pass through the platform of the basket conveying assembly or the platform of the carrier boat conveying assembly. The pushing member is used to support the sheet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the top of the pusher is provided with a plurality of teeth, all of which are spaced apart along the X-axis, and each pair of adjacent teeth is used to accommodate at least one sheet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the insert / unload device further includes a first alignment mechanism and / or a second alignment mechanism.

The Y-axis, X-axis, and Z-axis intersect each other. The second alignment mechanism is disposed above the fourth end and acts on the sheet along the Y-axis direction, guiding the sheet moving in and out of the carrier boat along the Z-axis direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first and / or second straightening mechanisms each include two pushers, which are spaced apart along the Y-axis and are used to accommodate sheet material between them. Each pusher has a plurality of teeth on one side along the Y-axis, and all the teeth are spaced apart along the X-axis. All the teeth of one pusher face the other pusher, and at least one sheet material is accommodated between two adjacent teeth.

The sheet insertion and unloading lifting module is connected to the sheet insertion and unloading moving module, and the adsorption assembly is connected to the sheet insertion and unloading lifting module. The sheet insertion and unloading moving module extends along the Y-axis and is located above the second and fourth ends. The sheet insertion and unloading moving module drives the sheet insertion and unloading lifting module to move between the second and fourth ends, and synchronously drives the adsorption assembly to move. The sheet insertion and unloading lifting module drives the adsorption assembly to reciprocate along the Z-axis, and the Z-axis, X-axis, and Y-axis intersect each other. The adsorption assembly can extend into the basket or carrier boat under the action of the sheet insertion and unloading lifting module, and the adsorption assembly is used to acquire or release sheets within the basket or carrier boat.

[0015] In some embodiments, the boat-moving mechanism includes a boat-moving module, a boat-lifting module, and boat-moving grippers. The boat-lifting module is connected to the boat-moving module, and the boat-moving grippers are connected to the boat-lifting module. The boat-moving module is located above the insert / unload device and extends along the Y-axis to the side of the insert / unload device away from the basket conveyor. The boat-moving module drives the boat-lifting module to move between the insert / unload device and the temporary storage rack outside the clean bench device, and synchronously drives the boat-moving grippers to move. The boat-lifting module drives the boat-moving grippers to reciprocate along the Z-axis, with the Z-axis, X-axis, and Y-axis intersecting in pairs. The boat-moving grippers are used to acquire or release the load-bearing boat on the insert / unload device, and also to acquire or release the load-bearing boat outside the insert / unload device.

[0016] In some embodiments, the flower basket conveying device includes a feeding conveying assembly, a discharging conveying assembly, and a waste conveying assembly. All three assemblies extend along the Y-axis, while the feeding and discharging assemblies are spaced apart along the X-axis. The waste conveying assembly is located on one side of the discharging conveying assembly along the Z-axis, and the Y, X, and Z axes intersect in pairs. The feeding conveying assembly is used to convey a flower basket carrying sheets to be processed to the flower basket handling mechanism.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0032] The terms “top,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0033] The terms “first”, “second”, etc., are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0035] Both flower baskets and carrying boats are carriers used to support sheet materials.

[0036] Typical sheet materials require baskets and support boats for support. During processing, multiple support boats are placed together into the reactor so that the reactor can react with the sheet material. Both baskets and support boats are carriers for supporting sheet materials.

[0037] One embodiment of this application provides a loading and unloading system, including: a basket conveying mechanism, a sheet insertion and unloading device, a basket conveying mechanism, and a boat conveying mechanism. The basket conveying device is used to convey baskets carrying sheets along the Y-axis direction. The sheet insertion and unloading device is used to transfer the sheets between the basket and the carrying boat along the Y-axis direction. The basket conveying mechanism is used to transfer the basket between the sheet insertion and unloading device and the basket conveying device. The basket conveying device, the sheet insertion and unloading device, and the boat conveying mechanism are arranged sequentially along the Y-axis direction. The basket conveying mechanism is located on the side of the basket conveying device closer to the sheet insertion and unloading device, and on the side of the sheet insertion and unloading device along the X-axis direction, where the Y-axis intersects the X-axis. A portion of the boat conveying mechanism extends outside the sheet insertion and unloading device along the Y-axis direction. The boat conveying mechanism is used to transfer the carrying boat between the sheet insertion and unloading device and an external cleanroom device.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the distribution of the flower basket mechanism, the insert unloading device, and the boat moving mechanism relative to the clean table device allows the loading and unloading system to load and unload materials onto the clean table device from one side of the width direction. At the same time, the flower basket mechanism, the insert unloading device, and the boat moving mechanism can semi-enclose the clean table device, making the structure of the loading and unloading system more compact and reducing the space occupied by the loading and unloading system.

[0039] Some embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, including a loading and unloading system 13 and a clean bench device 11. The loading and unloading system 13 and the clean bench device 11 are distributed sequentially along the Y-axis. The loading and unloading system 13 conveys sheets to the clean bench device 11, and the clean bench device 11 buffers processed sheets and sheets to be processed. The sheet to be processed is conveyed to the clean bench device 11 by the loading and unloading system 13, and the clean bench device 11 transfers the sheet to an external processing device for processing. After the external processing device completes the processing of the sheet, the clean bench device 11 stores the processed sheet to allow it to cool. The loading and unloading system 13 then outputs the processed sheet from the clean bench device 11, and then conveys the sheet to be processed to a temporary storage rack 113 outside the clean bench device 11, and so on, thereby realizing the automated loading and unloading function of the clean bench device 11 to improve the production efficiency of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the sheet is a photovoltaic material such as a silicon wafer or a solar cell.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The clean bench device 11 includes a cabinet 111 and a temporary storage rack 113 for supporting the support boat. The cabinet 111 has a length direction, a width direction and a height direction. The Y-axis is parallel to the length direction of the cabinet 111, the X-axis is parallel to the width direction, and the Z-axis is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 111. The Z-axis, Y-axis and X-axis intersect each other.

[0043] In some embodiments, the Z-axis, Y-axis, and X-axis are perpendicular to each other, the X-axis and Y-axis are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the positive direction of the Z-axis is the direction in which gravity is vertically upward.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The temporary storage rack 113 can move the carrier boat carrying the processed sheet material inside the cabinet 111 to the outside of the cabinet 111 along the X-axis direction, so that the loading and unloading system 13 can pick up the carrier boat carrying the processed sheet material. The loading and unloading system 13 then releases the carrier boat carrying the sheet material to be processed onto the temporary storage rack 113. The temporary storage rack 113 then moves the carrier boat into the cabinet 111, thereby realizing the loading and unloading of the clean table device 11 by the loading and unloading system 13. Moving the sheet material to one side of the cabinet 111 along the X-axis (i.e., to one side of the width of the cabinet 111) via the temporary storage rack 113, compared to moving it to the side of the cabinet 111 along the Y-axis closer to the flower basket mechanism 130 (i.e., to one side of the length of the cabinet 111), helps reduce the space occupied by the temporary storage rack 113 and the cabinet 111 in the Y-axis direction. This allows the loading and unloading system 13 to be closer to the clean bench device 11, which is beneficial for shortening the length of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 in the Y-axis direction. At the same time, moving the sheet material to one side of the cabinet 111 along the X-axis via the temporary storage rack 113 also shortens the moving distance of the temporary storage rack 113. Thus, while keeping the movement speed of the temporary storage rack 113 constant, it helps to shorten the time it takes for the temporary storage rack 113 to move the sheet material, thereby improving the working efficiency of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, the temporary storage rack 113 is slidably or rotatably connected to the cabinet 111. The temporary storage rack 113 carries the carrier boat and moves relative to the cabinet 111, so that the temporary storage rack 113 moves from inside the cabinet 111 to outside the cabinet 111, or moves from outside the cabinet 111 to inside the cabinet 111, so that the temporary storage rack 113 can transfer the carrier boat 20 between the cabinet 111 and the loading and unloading system 13.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The loading and unloading system 13 includes a basket-moving mechanism 130, a basket-conveying device 131, a sheet-unloading device 132, and a boat-moving mechanism 137. The basket-conveying device 131 is used to transport baskets carrying sheets to input the baskets carrying the sheets to be processed into the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, and to output the baskets carrying the processed sheets out of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 so that the sheets can enter the next processing step. The sheet loading / unloading device 132 is used to transfer the sheet material between the flower basket and the carrier boat 20. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 is used to transfer the flower basket between the sheet loading / unloading device 132 and the flower basket conveying device 131. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 is located on one side of the sheet loading / unloading device 132 along the X-axis. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 and the sheet loading / unloading device 132 are arranged side by side along the X-axis. Relative to the flower basket conveying device 131, the flower basket moving mechanism 130 and the sheet loading / unloading device 132 are distributed sequentially along the Y-axis, which helps to reduce the length of the loading / unloading system 13 in the Y-axis direction. The carrier boat moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat 20 between the sheet loading / unloading device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the clean bench device 11, thereby realizing the input or output of sheet material to the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the basket conveying device 131, the sheet insertion and unloading device 132, and the boat-moving mechanism 137 are sequentially distributed along the Y-axis. The boat-moving mechanism 137 is located closer to the clean bench device 11 than the basket conveying device 131. The basket conveying device 131 is used to convey a basket (not labeled) carrying sheet material along the Y-axis to input the basket carrying the sheet material to be processed into the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, and to output the basket carrying the processed sheet material out of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 so that the sheet material can enter the next processing step. The sheet insertion and unloading device 132 transfers the sheet material between the basket and the carrying boat 20 along the Y-axis. The basket conveying device 131 and the sheet insertion and unloading device 132 are angled to form a semi-enclosed space (not labeled). The basket-moving mechanism 130 is located within the semi-enclosed space and is located between the basket conveying device 131 and the clean bench device 11 along the Y-axis. The boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on one side of the purification table device 11 along the X-axis direction. The boat-moving mechanism 137 passes through the insert and unload device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11 along the Y-axis direction, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can transfer the carrying boat between the insert and unload device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11.

[0048] The flower basket conveying device 131, the insert and unload device 132, the boat moving mechanism 137, and the purification table device 11 are all arranged around the flower basket moving mechanism 130. This allows the boat moving mechanism 137 to load and unload materials onto one side of the cabinet 111 along the X-axis, while simultaneously making the distribution of the loading and unloading system 13 and the cabinet 111 more compact. This not only shortens the movement distance of the flower basket and the carrying boat, but also helps to shorten the length of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 in the Y-axis direction, greatly reducing the space occupied by the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.

[0049] In other embodiments, the arrangement of the flower basket conveying device 131, the inserting and unloading device 132, and the boat-moving mechanism 137 is not limited, as long as each component can work normally.

[0050] In some embodiments, the boat-moving mechanism 137 at least partially overlaps with the insert / unload device 132 along the Y-axis direction and at least partially overlaps with the temporary storage rack 113 outside the clean bench device 11 along the X-axis direction, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can approach the insert / unload device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 respectively, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can acquire or release the carrier boat 20 from the temporary storage rack 113 and the insert / unload device 132 respectively.

[0051] In other embodiments, the boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on the outer side of the insert / unload device 132 along the Y-axis direction, or the boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on the outer side of the temporary storage rack 113 outside the clean bench device 11 along the X-axis direction. During operation, the working end of the boat-moving mechanism 137 extends and retracts towards the insert / unload device 132 or the temporary storage rack 113, which can also achieve the effect of the boat-moving mechanism 137 acquiring or releasing the carrying boat 20 in the temporary storage rack 113 and the insert / unload device 132 respectively.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The flower basket conveying device 131 includes a loading conveying assembly 1311, a discharging conveying assembly 1312, and a waste conveying assembly 1313, all extending along the Y-axis. During operation, the loading conveying assembly 1311 conveys the flower baskets carrying the sheets to be processed, facilitating the transfer of the flower baskets by the flower basket handling mechanism 130 to the sheet insertion and unloading device 132. The flower basket handling mechanism 130 then transfers the processed flower baskets from the sheet insertion and unloading device 132 to the discharging conveying assembly 1312, which then conveys the processed flower baskets outwards, thus completing the loading and unloading process for the flower baskets.

[0053] Understandably, when the sheet material to be processed or the processed sheet material is damaged, the basket-moving mechanism 130 will directly transfer the basket containing the damaged sheet material from the feeding conveying assembly 1311 or the sheet insertion and unloading device 132 to the waste conveying assembly 1313. The waste conveying assembly 1313 will then transport the basket containing the damaged sheet material to a designated location so that the staff can inspect the damaged sheet material.

[0054] In some embodiments, the sheet is inspected using visual recognition devices such as a CCD camera or manually to determine whether the sheet is damaged.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The number of feeding conveyor 1311, unloading conveyor 1312 and waste conveyor 1313 are all two or more. All feeding conveyor 1311 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction, all unloading conveyor 1312 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction, and all waste conveyor 1313 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction. From the direction of the insert and unload device 132 toward the flower basket moving mechanism 130, the feeding conveying component 1311 is located on one side of the unloading conveying component 1312, so that the feeding conveying component 1311 is closer to the insert and unload device 132 relative to the unloading conveying component 1312, and the feeding conveying component 1311 is located on one side of the insert and unload device 132 along the Y-axis direction, and the unloading conveying component 1312 is located on one side of the flower basket moving mechanism 130 along the Y-axis direction. This helps to shorten the distance between the feeding conveying component 1311 and the insert and unload device 132, which is conducive to the flower basket moving mechanism 130 quickly transferring the flower basket carrying the sheet to be processed from the feeding conveying component 1311 to the insert and unload device 132, thereby improving the feeding speed of the flower basket.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The waste conveying component 1313 is located below the unloading conveying component 1312. It is distributed along the X-axis direction relative to the loading conveying component 1311, the unloading conveying component 1312 and the waste conveying component 1313. This helps to shorten the width of the basket conveying device 131 in the X-axis direction, making the structure of the loading and unloading system 13 more compact.

[0057] In some embodiments, the flower basket moving mechanism 130 is a multi-axis robotic arm.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3When there are two or more feeding conveying components 1311, the flower basket conveying device 131 also includes a transfer component 1314. The transfer component 1314 is located on the side of all feeding conveying components 1311 facing the insert / unload device 132, and extends from the X-axis direction. The transfer component 1314 sequentially carries all the flower baskets conveyed by the feeding conveying components 1311 and moves the flower baskets towards the unloading conveying component 1312 along the X-axis direction, allowing the flower baskets to move closer to the flower basket moving mechanism 130. Compared to the relatively large flower basket moving mechanism 130, which can extend to each feeding conveying component 1311 to pick up flower baskets, the smaller flower basket moving mechanism 130 can pick up flower baskets conveyed by multiple feeding conveying components 1311, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the flower basket moving mechanism 130 itself and the work required, making the structure of the loading and unloading system 13 more compact.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The insert / unload device 132 includes at least one basket conveying assembly 1321, at least one carrier boat conveying assembly 1325, and an insert / unload mechanism 133. The basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 are distributed along the Y-axis direction. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is closer to the clean bench device 11 relative to the basket conveying assembly 1321 to shorten the distance between the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 and the clean bench device 11, facilitating the rapid transfer of the carrier boat between the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 and the clean bench device 11 by the carrier boat moving mechanism 137. Each basket conveying assembly 1321 has a first end 1323 and a second end 1324 opposite each other along the X-axis direction. The first end 1323 is closer to the basket moving mechanism 130. Each carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 has a third end 1326 and a fourth end 1327 opposite each other along the X-axis. The third end 1326 is closer to the clean bench device 11 than the fourth end 1327. In the X-axis direction, the first end 1323 and the third end 1326 are arranged on the same side, and the second end 1324 and the fourth end 1327 are arranged on the same side. The inserting and unloading mechanism 133 extends in the Y-axis direction and is located above all the second ends 1324 and all the fourth ends 1327. The boat-moving mechanism 137 is located above the third end 1326.

[0060] During operation, the flower basket moving mechanism 130 transfers the flower basket from the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 to the first end 1323, the flower basket conveyor assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket from the first end 1323 to the second end 1324, and at the same time, the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 conveys the carrier boat from the third end 1326 to the fourth end 1327. The sheet insertion and unloading mechanism 133 transfers the sheet to be processed from the flower basket at the second end 1324 to the carrier boat at the fourth end 1327, the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 conveys the carrier boat from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326, and the boat moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat from the third end 1326 to the temporary storage rack 113 outside the clean bench device 11, so as to realize the feeding of the clean bench device 11.

[0061] The boat-moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat carrying the processed material from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11 to the third end 1326. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 conveys the carrier boat from the third end 1326 to the fourth end 1327. The sheet insertion and unloading mechanism 133 transfers the carrier boat carrying the processed sheet material from the fourth end 1327 to the flower basket at the second end 1324. The flower basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket from the second end 1324 to the first end 1323. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 transfers the flower basket from the first end 1323 to the unloading conveying assembly 1312 or the waste conveying assembly 1313, thereby realizing the unloading of material from the purification table device 11. This cycle is repeated to achieve the function of automatic loading and unloading of material from the purification table device 11.

[0062] It is understandable that by positioning the insert / unload mechanism 133 above the basket conveyor assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325, and the boat-moving mechanism 137 above the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 and the temporary storage rack 113, and by setting the insert / unload mechanism 133, the basket conveyor assembly 1321, the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 on the same horizontal plane, it helps to improve the space utilization of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 and makes the structure of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 more compact.

[0063] Meanwhile, the basket conveying assembly 1321 has a first end 1323 and a second end 1324, and the carrying boat conveying assembly 1325 has a third end 1326 and a fourth end 1327, so that the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 are distributed along the X-axis, achieving a staggered arrangement between them. Furthermore, from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326, the boat-moving mechanism 137 and the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 are sequentially distributed, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 is close to the clean table device 11 in the X-axis direction. This helps to shorten the distance the temporary storage rack 113 needs to move outside the clean table device 11 when the boat-moving mechanism 137 loads and unloads materials from the clean table device 11.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The number of flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 is two or more, and the two or more flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 alternately convey the flower baskets to the underside of the insert and unload mechanism 133. The number of carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 is two or more, and the two or more carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 alternately convey the carrier boats to the underside of the insert and unload mechanism 133, thereby increasing the frequency at which the carrier boats and flower baskets are located under the insert and unload mechanism 133, so that the insert and unload mechanism 133 can continuously transfer the sheets between the carrier boats and flower baskets.

[0065] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The number of flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 is twice that of the carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325. For example, there are four flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 and two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325. The inserting and unloading sheet mechanism 133 transfers the sheets from two flower baskets to one carrier boat, or transfers the sheets from one carrier boat to two flower baskets. When the efficiency of the moving boat mechanism 137 is low, the efficiency of the moving boat mechanism 137 in transporting sheets through the carrier boat is improved by increasing the number of sheets carried by the carrier boat. This makes the working efficiency of the moving boat mechanism 137 and the inserting and unloading sheet mechanism 133 similar, thereby reducing the waiting period of the moving boat mechanism 137 or the inserting and unloading sheet mechanism 133 and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading materials to the clean table device 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 include a conveying slide rail 1328 and a platform 1329. The conveying slide rail 1328 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 (hereinafter referred to as the first conveying slide rail 1328) extends along the X-axis direction. The two ends of the first conveying slide rail 1328 correspond to the first end 1323 and the second end 1324, respectively. The platform 1329 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 (hereinafter referred to as the first platform 1329) is slidably connected to the first conveying slide rail 1328. The flower basket is carried by the first platform 1329 and transferred between the first end 1323 and the second end 1324, so as to realize the transfer of the flower basket between the insert and unload mechanism 133 and the flower basket moving mechanism 130 by the flower basket conveying assembly 1321.

[0067] Similarly, the conveying slide rail 1328 (hereinafter referred to as the second conveying slide rail 1328) of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 extends along the X-axis direction. The two ends of the second conveying slide rail 1328 correspond to the third end 1326 and the fourth end 1327, respectively. The platform 1329 (hereinafter referred to as the second platform 1329) of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is slidably connected to the second conveying slide rail 1328. The carrier boat is carried by the second platform 1329 and transferred between the third end 1326 and the fourth end 1327, so as to realize the transfer of the carrier boat between the carrier boat moving mechanism 137 and the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 by the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325.

[0068] Furthermore, both the first platform 1329 and the second platform 1329 are equipped with clamping components (not labeled). When the flower basket or carrier boat is placed on the corresponding platform 1329, the clamping components clamp and fix the flower basket or carrier boat to improve the stability of the flower basket or carrier boat on the platform 1329, thereby improving the accuracy of the insert and unload mechanism 133 in releasing or acquiring the sheet in the flower basket (carrier boat).

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The tablet insertion and unloading mechanism 133 includes a tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331, a tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332, and an adsorption assembly 1333. The tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332 is connected to the tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331, and the adsorption assembly 1333 is connected to the tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332. The tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331 extends along the Y-axis and is located above the second end 1324 and the fourth end 1327. During operation, the tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331 drives the tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332 to move between the second end 1324 and the fourth end 1327, and synchronously drives the adsorption assembly 1333 to move. When the adsorption component 1333 is directly above the second end 1324 or the fourth end 1327, the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 drives the adsorption component 1333 to descend, so that the adsorption component 1333 extends into the basket or carrier boat. The adsorption component 1333 releases or adsorbs the sheet in the carrier boat or basket. The insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 drives the adsorption component 1333 to rise. The insert and unload sheet moving module 1331 drives the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 to move in the opposite direction. This cycle is repeated to realize that the insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 continuously transfers the sheet between the basket and the carrier boat.

[0070] When there are two flower basket conveying components 1321 and two carrier boat conveying components 1325, after the adsorption component 1333 releases the sheet at one of its second ends 1324 (fourth end 1327), the adsorption component 1333 then picks up the sheet at the other second end 1324 (fourth end 1327). The insert and unload sheet moving module 1331 drives the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 to move the adsorption component 1333, so that the adsorption component 1333 adsorbs the sheet during the movement between the second end 1324 and the fourth end 1327, thereby reducing the frequency of the adsorption component 1333 idling and enabling the adsorption component 1333 to continuously move the sheet, thereby improving the working efficiency of the insert and unload sheet mechanism 133.

[0071] Furthermore, the insert and unload mechanism 133 has two adsorption components 1333. The two adsorption components 1333 are slidably connected to the insert and unload lifting module 1332. The two adsorption components 1333 are staggered and separate or move closer together along the Y-axis. When the number of basket conveying components 1321 is twice the number of carrier boat conveying components 1325, the two adsorption components 1333 can separate from each other and pick up or release the sheet in the two baskets respectively. The two adsorption components 1333 can also move closer together and pick up or release the sheet together in one carrier boat, thereby satisfying the function of the insert and unload mechanism 133 to load and unload two baskets and one carrier boat in one working cycle.

[0072] Understandably, when the two adsorption components 1333 bring the sheets of the two flower baskets closer together along the Y-axis, one of the adsorption components 1333 also drives the sheet to move relative to the other adsorption component 1333 along the X-axis, so that the sheets of the two flower baskets are misaligned.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 When there are four or more flower basket conveying assemblies 1321, the number of inserting and unloading mechanisms 133 is two or more. One inserting and unloading mechanism 133 corresponds to two flower basket conveying assemblies 1321. All inserting and unloading mechanisms 133 are distributed along the Y-axis and move synchronously along the Y-axis.

[0074] In some embodiments, when there are two insert and unload mechanisms 133, the two insert and unload mechanisms 133 can simultaneously acquire or release the processed sheet, or simultaneously acquire or release the sheet to be processed.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The sheet insertion and unloading device 132 also includes a sheet top mechanism 134. The sheet top mechanism 134 is vertically mounted below the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. When the first platform 1329 carries the flower basket and moves to the second end 1324, or when the second platform 1329 carries the flower basket and moves to the fourth end 1327, the corresponding sheet top mechanism 134 can pass through the first platform 1329 (second platform 1329) and push the sheet out of the flower basket (carrier boat) so that the adsorption assembly 1333 can obtain the sheet. Alternatively, the corresponding sheet top mechanism 134 can... The sheet is passed through the first platform 1329 (second platform 1329) and supported by the adsorption component 1333. The top plate mechanism 134 then supports the sheet to descend until the top plate mechanism 134 moves out of the basket (carrying boat) to place the sheet inside the basket (carrying boat). The top plate mechanism 134 supports the sheet so that the adsorption component 1333 can release or retrieve the sheet outside the basket (carrying boat), thereby reducing the risk of the adsorption component 1333 coming into contact with the basket (carrying boat) and losing both of them.

[0076] Understandably, when the stage 1329 moves, the top plate mechanism 134 is located below the corresponding stage 1329 to reduce the risk of interference between the stage 1329 and the top plate mechanism 134.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The platform 1329, the flower basket, and the support boat are all hollowed out so that the top sheet mechanism 134 can pass through the platform 1329, the flower basket, and the support boat to support the sheet.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 Each of the top sheet mechanisms 134 includes a lifting module 1341 and a pushing member 1342. The pushing member 1342 is connected to the lifting module 1341. The pushing member 1342 of the top sheet mechanism 134 is located below the corresponding flower basket conveying assembly 1321 or the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. When the flower basket (carrier boat) moves to the second end 1324 (fourth end 1327), the lifting module 1341 drives the pushing member 1342 to move up and down, and at least part of the pushing member 1342 passes through the corresponding platform 1329, so that the pushing member 1342 pushes out the sheet material in the flower basket (carrier boat), or supports the sheet material released by the adsorption assembly 1333.

[0079] The sheets in the support boat or basket are placed vertically and spaced apart along the X-axis. In some embodiments, the top of the pusher 1342 is provided with multiple teeth (not labeled), all of which are spaced apart along the X-axis. The space between two adjacent teeth is used to accommodate the sheets. When the pusher 1342 supports the sheets, the teeth isolate the multiple sheets and limit the indirection between the sheets, so that the adsorption component 1333 can accurately pick up the multiple sheets. At the same time, the multiple teeth limit the sheets when the adsorption component 1333 releases the multiple sheets, so as to maintain the indirection between the sheets and improve the accuracy of placing the sheets into the support boat or basket.

[0080] In some embodiments, the pusher 1342 corresponding to the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is different from the pusher 1342 corresponding to the flower basket conveying assembly 1321. The spacing of the teeth (hereinafter referred to as the first teeth) on the pusher 1342 corresponding to the flower basket is smaller than the spacing of the teeth (hereinafter referred to as the second teeth) on the pusher 1342 corresponding to the carrier boat, and one sheet is accommodated between two adjacent first teeth, and two sheets are accommodated between adjacent second teeth, so that when two flower baskets are correspondingly arranged with one carrier boat, one carrier boat can accommodate the sheets of two flower baskets, or the two flower baskets can jointly accommodate the sheets of one carrier boat, realizing the function of different top sheet mechanisms 134 accurately supporting the sheets on the flower baskets and the carrier boat respectively.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The top sheet mechanism 134 also includes a top sheet moving module 1343, which is connected to the lifting module 1341. When there are two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, the pusher 1342 is located below the two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325. When the second platform 1329 of one of the carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the lifting module 1341 drives the pusher 1342 to pass through the second platform 1329 to support the sheet. When the other second platform 1329 moves to the fourth end 1327, the top plate moving module 1343 drives the lifting module 1341 and the pushing member 1342 to move along the Y-axis direction, and the pushing member 1342 is located below the other second platform 1329, so that the lifting module 1341 drives the pushing member 1342 to pass through the other second platform 1329 to support the sheet, so that one top plate mechanism 134 corresponds to two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, thereby helping to reduce the number of top plate mechanisms 134.

[0082] Similarly, when there are two flower basket conveying components 1321, the pusher 1342 is located below the two flower basket conveying components 1321, and through the above-mentioned action process, the pusher 1342 passes through the two first platforms 1329 support sheets respectively.

[0083] When the number of flower basket conveying components 1321 is twice that of the carrier boat conveying components 1325, a lifting module 1341 is connected to two jacking components 1342 to enable the lifting components to drive the two jacking components 1342 to rise and fall, and to make the two jacking components 1342 pass through the two first platforms 1329 at the same time.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 The sheet insertion and removal device 132 also includes a first straightening mechanism 135, which is located above the first end 1323. The first straightening mechanism 135 acts on the sheet along the Y-axis and guides the sheet moving in and out of the basket along the Z-axis. When the top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the basket, the first straightening mechanism 135 limits the sheet to keep its position unchanged in the Y-axis direction, which helps the adsorption component 1333 to accurately pick up the sheet. Alternatively, when the adsorption component 1333 places the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the first straightening mechanism 135 limits the sheet to keep its position unchanged in the Y-axis direction, so that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet to descend, the sheet can be accurately placed in the basket, reducing the risk of the sheet scratching the basket.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The sheet insertion and unloading device 132 also includes a second straightening mechanism 136. The function of the second straightening mechanism 136 is similar to that of the first straightening mechanism 135, and the second straightening mechanism 136 is located above the third end 1326. When the top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the carrier boat, the second straightening mechanism 136 limits the sheet to keep its position in the Y-axis direction unchanged, which helps the adsorption component 1333 to accurately pick up the sheet. Or, when the adsorption component 1333 places the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the second straightening mechanism 136 limits the sheet to keep its position in the Y-axis direction unchanged, so that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet to descend, the sheet can be placed in the carrier boat, thereby reducing the risk of the sheet scraping against the carrier boat.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10Both the first straightening mechanism 135 and the second straightening mechanism 136 include a straightening slide rail 1351, a straightening actuator 1352, and two pushers 1353. The straightening slide rail 1351 extends along the Y-axis. The two pushers 1353 are connected to the straightening slide rail 1351, and the straightening actuator 1352 is connected to both the straightening slide rail 1351 and at least one pusher 1353. The two pushers of the first straightening mechanism 135 are located above the second end 1324, and the two pushers of the second straightening mechanism 136 are located above the fourth end 1327. The two pushers 1353 of the first straightening mechanism 135 or the second straightening mechanism 136 are spaced apart along the Y-axis, and the space between the two pushers 1353 is used to accommodate sheet material. Before or after the adsorption component 1333 picks up the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the sheet is located between the two pushers 1353. The alignment driver 1352 drives one of the pushers 1353 or both pushers to slide relative to the alignment rail 1351 to reduce the gap between the two pushers 1353 and to allow the two pushers 1353 to jointly clamp the sheet, so that the sheet moves relative to the top sheet mechanism 134, thereby adjusting the position of all the sheets in the Y-axis direction. It can be understood that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet to move relative to the basket or support boat, the corresponding two pushers 1353 release the sheet.

[0087] The flower basket or carrier boat is provided with slots for receiving sheets. The edges of the sheets are inserted into the slots, and the sidewalls of the slots restrain the sheets to reduce the risk of sheet detachment and to facilitate the adsorption assembly 1333 in acquiring each sheet. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 Each pusher 1353 of the first and second straightening mechanisms 135 and 136 has multiple teeth (unmarked) on one side along the Y-axis, with all teeth spaced apart along the X-axis. All teeth of each pusher 1353 face the corresponding pusher 1353, and the space between two adjacent teeth is used to accommodate at least one sheet. When a sheet is located between two pushers 1353, both ends of the sheet along the Y-axis are located between two adjacent teeth, thus limiting the sheet along the X-axis to maintain the relative position of each sheet. This ensures that each sheet can accurately enter the slot of the basket or carrier when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet into the basket or carrier, improving the accuracy of the insert / unload device 132 in loading the basket or carrier.

[0088] Understandably, when the two pushers 1353 move away from each other so that the top plate mechanism 134 supports the sheet to enter or exit the basket or carrier boat, the two ends of the sheet along the Y-axis are always located between two adjacent teeth, so as to keep the sheet in the X-axis direction relative to the basket or carrier boat unchanged when the sheet enters or exits the basket or carrier boat, thereby improving the accuracy of the adsorption component 1333 in acquiring each sheet.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The leveling drive 1352 includes a second motor and a second synchronous belt. The second motor is connected to the leveling slide rail 1351, and the second synchronous belt is rotatably connected to the leveling slide rail 1351 with its axis of rotation parallel to the Z-axis. One of the pushers 1353 is connected to the second synchronous belt. The motor drives the pusher 1353 to move relative to the other pusher 1353, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pushers 1353.

[0090] In some embodiments, the regularization driver 1352 of the first regularization mechanism 135 and the second regularization mechanism 136 is the same.

[0091] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 When the number of flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 is twice the number of carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, one first straightening mechanism 135 corresponds to two adjacent flower basket conveying assemblies 1321. The first straightening mechanism 135 includes four pushers 1353, with two pushers 1353 forming a group, and one group of pushers 1353 corresponding to one flower basket conveying assembly 1321. The second synchronous belt has two opposing parts along the X-axis direction, and the two parts of the second synchronous belt move in opposite directions. In the Y-axis direction, the two middle pushers 1353 (hereinafter referred to as the first pushers 1353) are respectively connected to the two parts of the second synchronous belt. The second synchronous belt simultaneously drives the two first pushers 1353 to move in opposite directions, so that the first pushers 1353 move closer to or away from the pushers 1353 in the same group respectively. This achieves the function of one regularizing driver 1352 simultaneously controlling the two groups of pushers 1353 to move closer or separate. Compared with one regularizing driver 1352 driving one group of pushers 1353 to move closer or separate, it helps to reduce the number of regularizing drivers 1352.

[0092] Similarly, when the number of carrier boat conveying components 1325 is even, a second straightening mechanism 136 can also correspond to two adjacent carrier boat conveying components 1325. The second straightening mechanism 136 includes four pushers 1353. During operation, a straightening driver 1352 simultaneously controls two sets of pushers 1353 to move closer or separate respectively.

[0093] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10The second straightening mechanism 136 has two pushers 1353, and when one second straightening mechanism 136 corresponds to two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, the second straightening mechanism 136 also includes a straightening translation assembly 1354. The straightening slide rail 1351 is connected to the straightening translation assembly 1354, and the straightening translation assembly 1354 is used to drive the straightening slide rail 1351 to move between the two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 along the Y-axis direction. When the carrier boat on one of the carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the straightening driver 1352 drives two pushers 1353 to guide the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boat. When the carrier boat on the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the straightening translation assembly 1354 drives the straightening slide rail 1351 to move the straightening driver 1352 and the two pushers 1353 toward the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325, so that the two pushers 1353 guide the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boat on the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. This realizes the function of the two pushers 1353 guiding the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boats on both carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, which helps to reduce the number of pushers 1353 and straightening slide rails 1351, making the structure of the second straightening mechanism 136 simpler and reducing the space occupied by the second straightening mechanism 136.

[0094] Similarly, when the number of pushers 1353 of the first straightening mechanism 135 is two, and one first straightening mechanism 135 corresponds to two flower basket conveying components 1321, the first straightening mechanism 135 also includes a straightening translation component 1354. The straightening slide rail 1351 is connected to the straightening translation component 1354, and the straightening translation component 1354 is used to drive the straightening slide rail 1351 to move between the two flower basket conveying components 1321 along the Y-axis direction.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11The boat-moving mechanism 137 includes a boat-moving module 138, a boat-moving lifting module 1301, and a boat-moving gripper 139. The boat-moving lifting module 1301 is connected to the boat-moving module 138, and the boat-moving gripper 139 is connected to the boat-moving lifting module 1301. The boat-moving module 138 extends along the Y-axis and is located above the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the cleanroom unit 11. During operation, the boat-moving module 138 drives the boat-moving lifting module 1301 to move between the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the cleanroom unit 11, and synchronously drives the boat-moving gripper 139 to move. When the boat-moving gripper 139 is positioned above the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11, the boat-moving lifting module 1301 drives the boat-moving gripper 139 to descend, so that the boat-moving gripper 139 can pick up or release the carrying boat at the third end 1326 (the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11). This cycle is repeated, thereby enabling the boat-moving mechanism 137 to load and unload materials from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11.

[0096] Understandably, when the temporary storage rack 113 can hold multiple carrier boats, the boat-moving gripper 139 picks up a carrier boat carrying a processed sheet from the temporary storage rack 113, and then releases a carrier boat carrying a sheet to be processed back to the temporary storage rack 113. This cycle is repeated so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can load and unload materials from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification table device 11.

[0097] In some embodiments, two or more temporary storage racks 113 can be movably arranged relative to the cabinet 111 and the carrying boat can be moved between inside and outside the cabinet 111 to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading materials into the cabinet 111.

[0098] For further details, please refer to Figure 2The number of carrier boat conveying components 1325 is at least two. After the carrier boat is released from one of the temporary storage racks 113 (hereinafter referred to as the first temporary storage rack 113), the carrier boat gripper 139, under the action of the carrier boat moving module 138 and the carrier boat lifting module 1301, retrieves the carrier boat from the other temporary storage rack 113 (hereinafter referred to as the second temporary storage rack 113). The carrier boat moving module 138 drives the carrier boat lifting module 1301 and the carrier boat gripper 139 to move to the third end 1326 of one of the carrier boat conveying components 1325. The carrier boat gripper 139 releases the carrier boat to the third end 1326. Under the action of the carrier boat moving module 138 and the carrier boat lifting module 1301, the carrier boat gripper 139 retrieves the carrier boat from the third end 1326 of the other carrier boat conveying component 1325. The boat moving module 138 drives the boat lifting module 1301 and the boat gripper 139 to move to the first temporary storage rack 113. The boat gripper 139 releases the carrying boat to the first temporary storage rack 113. After the first temporary storage rack 113 is full of carrying boats again, the carrying boats on the first temporary storage rack 113 are moved into the purification table device 11. The first temporary storage rack 113 then moves some other carrying boats that have been processed out of the purification table device 11, so that the boat gripper 139 can pick up the carrying boats on the first temporary storage rack 113. This cycle is repeated so that the two temporary storage racks 113 alternately transfer the carrying boats to the boat gripper 139, so that the boat gripper 139 can continuously pick up or release the carrying boats outside the purification table device 11.

[0099] In some embodiments, the carrier boat is part of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.

[0100] In some embodiments, the material of the carrier boat is graphite or quartz.

[0101] In some embodiments, the clean bench device 11 further includes a cooling assembly (not shown), which is disposed inside the cabinet 111 to cool the processed sheet material, thereby shortening the time the sheet material is stored in the cabinet 111.

[0102] In some embodiments, the cooling components operate in the form of air cooling and / or pipe cooling.

[0103] The operation process of the loading and unloading system 13 according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0104] The flower basket is loaded, and the loading and conveying assembly 1311 conveys the flower basket carrying the sheet to be processed to the flower basket moving mechanism 130 along the Y-axis. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 moves the flower basket toward the first end 1323 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321. The flower basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket from the first end 1323 to the second end 1324.

[0105] The sheet is fed and tilted. The top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the basket at the second end 1324. The first straightening mechanism 135 straightens the sheet. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 picks up the sheet and moves it along the Y-axis to the fourth end 1327. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 releases the sheet onto the top sheet mechanism 134 at the fourth end 1327. The second straightening mechanism 136 straightens the sheet. The top sheet mechanism 134 descends and places the sheet on the carrier boat at the fourth end 1327 of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325.

[0106] The loading and unloading of the carrier boat involves the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 transporting the carrier boat from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326 (hereinafter referred to as the first and third ends 1326). At the same time, the boat-moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat carrying the processed sheet material from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the cabinet 111 to the third end 1326 of another carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. The boat-moving mechanism 137 then transfers the carrier boat carrying the sheet material to be processed from the third end 1326 along the Y-axis direction to the temporary storage rack 113 outside the cabinet 111. This cycle continues until the carrier boat carrying the processed sheet material is completely removed from the temporary storage rack 113 and the temporary storage rack 113 is filled with carrier boats carrying the sheet material to be processed.

[0107] The sheet is unloaded and poured. The top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the carrier boat at the fourth end 1327. The second straightening mechanism 136 straightens the sheet. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 picks up the sheet and moves it along the Y-axis to the second end 1324. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 releases the sheet onto the top sheet mechanism 134 at the second end 1324. The second straightening mechanism 136 straightens the sheet. The top sheet mechanism 134 descends and places the sheet onto the basket at the second end 1324 of the basket conveying assembly 1321.

[0108] The flower basket is unloaded. The flower basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket from the second end 1324 to the first end 1323. The flower basket moving mechanism 130 moves the flower basket toward the unloading conveying assembly 1312. The unloading conveying assembly 1312 conveys the flower basket carrying the sheet to be processed outward along the Y-axis.

[0109] This cycle is repeated to achieve automated loading and unloading of materials into the cleanroom unit 11.

[0110] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
