Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer carrier technology, and in particular to a wafer transport carrier. Background Technology
[0002] Wafer transport carriers are tools used to carry and transport wafers in the semiconductor manufacturing process. They are mainly used to ensure that wafers can be processed smoothly and safely in each stage of the complex manufacturing process. The design and material selection of these carriers are carefully considered to ensure the safety and stability of wafers during transportation, storage and processing.
[0003] Most existing wafer carriers are designed as box structures with multiple sets of insertion grooves inside to hold and place wafers. They are simple and convenient to operate. However, most existing wafer carriers lack adjustment capabilities. The width of the wafer carrier is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the size of the wafer, resulting in poor flexibility. At the same time, existing wafer carriers also lack good handle adjustment capabilities. The handles are designed on the sides or top, which cannot be effectively embedded or flexibly limited, making the carrier less stable and convenient to store. Therefore, we need to upgrade and modify the existing technology to overcome the existing problems and shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wafer transport carrier to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the wafer transport carrier provided in this embodiment includes a device body 1. The device body 1 includes an outer frame 2, a movable frame 3, an adjustment component 4, and an auxiliary component 5. The inner side of the outer frame 2 is provided with a plug-in slot 21. The lower end and upper end of the outer frame 2 are respectively provided with a lower support 22 and an upper support 23, and the rear end is provided with a rear support 24. The movable frame 3 is installed on the inner side of the outer frame 2 and is symmetrically arranged with the plug-in slot 21. The adjustment component 4 is located on the inner side of the outer frame 2 and is connected to the bottom of the movable frame 3. The upper support 23 has an embedded groove 231, and the auxiliary component 5 is located in the embedded groove 231.
[0024] Preferably, the adjustment assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41 and a guide slider 45. The mounting base 41 is rotatably provided with a threaded rod 42 and a knob 43 is connected to the outer end of the threaded rod 42. A movable block 44 is screwed onto the threaded rod 42. The guide slider 45 is set on the outer wall of the upper and lower ends of the movable frame 3. The mounting base 41 is fixed to the inner side of the lower bracket 22. The outer end of the threaded rod 42 is rotatably connected to the outer frame 2. The movable block 44 is fixed to the bottom of the movable frame 3. The lower bracket 22 and the upper bracket 23 are respectively provided with guide grooves 25. The guide slider 45 slides within the guide grooves 25.
[0025] The screw rod 42 is rotated by the knob 43, which drives the moving block 44 to move. The moving block 44 and the guide slider 45 work together to move the movable frame 3 inside the outer frame 2, thereby enabling the position adjustment of the movable frame 3. This facilitates changing the spacing of the two side insertion slots 21 to meet the needs of wafers of different specifications, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0026] Preferably, the auxiliary component 5 includes a mounting bracket 51, which has two sets of symmetrically arranged and fixed in the inner grooves 231 on both sides. The inner side of the mounting bracket 51 is provided with a hinge seat 52 and a handle 53 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 52. The outer side of the mounting bracket 51 is provided with a movable groove 54. Two sets of springs 55 are provided in the movable groove 54 and the outer ends of the two sets of springs 55 are connected to a movable rod 56. The upper end of the movable rod 56 is provided with a push-pull block 57. The handle 53 is provided with a limit hole 58. The outer end of the movable rod 56 passes through to the outer side of the movable groove 54 and is inserted into the limit hole 58.
[0027] The movable rod 56 is elastically extended and retracted within the movable slot 54 by the push-pull block 57 and the spring 55. The movable rod 56 is engaged or disengaged with the limiting hole 58, so that the handle 53 can be limited or rotated within the mounting frame 51. This enables the rotation and extension control of the handle 53. The handle 53 facilitates the overall handling and transportation of the vehicle. When the handle 53 is hidden and stored, it does not affect the stacking and storage of the vehicle. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0028] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: First, the screw rod 42 can be rotated by the knob 43. The screw rod 42 drives the moving block 44 to move. The moving block 44 and the guide slider 45 work together to move the movable frame 3 inside the outer frame 2, thereby enabling position adjustment of the movable frame 3. This facilitates changing the spacing of the two side insertion slots 21 to accommodate wafers of different specifications. Wafers can be placed sequentially inside the insertion slots 21. When the carrier needs to be moved and transported as a whole, the push-pull block 57 can be pressed inside the box. The push-pull block 57 pushes the movable rod 56 and spring 55 to retract, causing the movable rod 56 to disengage from the limiting hole 58. At this time, the handle 53 can be extended by rotating through the hinge seat 52. The handle 53 allows for convenient handling of the carrier. When stacking the carrier, the handle 53 can be hidden within the recessed slot 231 without affecting the stable placement of the carrier.
