[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 9The image shows one embodiment of this utility model. This embodiment discloses a vehicle handling system 100, which is suitable for low-rise overhead trolley (Mini OHT) architectures and can be used in cleanroom environments with a cleanliness level of CLASS 100 or lower; that is, the vehicle handling system 100 can be applied to factories where the ceiling 200 is less than 3 meters (e.g., 2 to 3 meters) from the ground 300, but this utility model is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of this utility model not shown, the vehicle handling system 100 can also be applied to environments with other architectures or other cleanliness requirements, depending on actual needs.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle handling system 100 in this embodiment includes a vehicle 2, an aerial storage station 1 for temporarily storing the vehicle 2, and a transport vehicle 3 that can move relative to the aerial storage station 1. The vehicle handling system 100 described below refers to a single vehicle 2, but this invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the aerial storage station 1 may be used alone (e.g., for sales) or in conjunction with other components, depending on actual needs; or, the vehicle handling system 100 may include multiple vehicles 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the carrier 2 is described as an electrostatic conductive carrier, and the carrier 2 is used to place multiple objects (such as wafers) spaced apart from each other. For ease of understanding this embodiment, the carrier 2 will be described in the following description in one possible form (such as a magazine-type carrier), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] The carrier 2 includes a frame 21, a clamping part 22 connected to the top of the frame 21, and two stops 23 mounted on the frame 21. The frame 21 is generally rectangular tubular and has two openings 211 and a storage space 212 located between the two openings 211.

[0042] Furthermore, the positions of the two stops 23 correspond to the two openings 211, and the two stops 23 are movably mounted at both ends of the frame 21, so that each object can be received into the storage space 212 when either stop 23 is opened away from the corresponding opening 211. Moreover, each object in the storage space can be restrained by the two stops 23 to prevent it from falling out of the frame 211 from either opening 211.

[0043] Furthermore, the clamping part 22 is used for clamping and fixing by the transport vehicle 3, so that the carrier 2 can be placed inside the aerial temporary storage station 1 by the transport vehicle 3. Moreover, the bottom of the frame 21 is provided with a plurality of positioning parts 213, so that the plurality of positioning parts 213 of the frame 21 can be used to position the frame 21 inside the aerial temporary storage station 1.

[0044] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the aerial storage station 1 includes a frame 11, at least one storage compartment 12 disposed on the frame 11, at least one reflector 13 mounted on the frame 11, and a first fence post 14 and a second fence post 15 respectively mounted on opposite sides of the frame 11. However, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the reflector 13, the first fence post 14, and / or the second fence post 15 may be omitted or replaced with other components according to actual needs. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of at least one storage compartment 12 is equivalent to the number of at least one reflector 13, and the position of at least one storage compartment 12 corresponds to the position of at least one reflector 13. The number of at least one storage compartment 12 is described as multiple in the following description, but this invention is not limited to this.

[0045] In this embodiment, the frame 11 includes a track 111 for mounting to the ceiling 200, a plurality of connecting rods 112 mounted at one end to the track 111, a station body 113 connected to the other end of the plurality of connecting rods 112, and a shock-absorbing mechanism 114 connecting the track 111 and the station body 113, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the shock-absorbing mechanism 114 can be selected according to actual needs (e.g., shock absorption requirements).

[0046] More specifically, the track 111 is used to install on the ceiling 200 at a distance D (along a height direction H) within 3 meters of the ground 300. In this embodiment, the track 111 includes two crossbeams 1111 spaced apart from each other, and the two crossbeams 1111 are fixed to the ceiling 200 and are both parallel to a configuration direction L perpendicular to the height direction H, and one end of the plurality of connecting rods 112 is respectively installed on the two crossbeams 1111.

[0047] Each of the crossbeams 1111 has two connecting rods 112 at each end, which are movably mounted along the configuration direction L. Each connecting rod 112 is parallel to the height direction H. The two connecting rods 112 mounted on any one of the crossbeams 1111 face the two connecting rods 112 mounted on the other crossbeam 1111 along a width direction W perpendicular to the configuration direction L and the height direction H.

[0048] The station body 113 is suspended from the track 111 by being connected to a plurality of connecting rods 112. The station body 113 has a first side S1 and a second side S2 defined along the width direction W. In this embodiment, the station body 113 is generally U-shaped, with its two ends respectively mounted to the plurality of connecting rods 112, so that the station body 113 can be adjusted in position in the height direction H, the configuration direction L, and the width direction W by the plurality of connecting rods 112.

[0049] Furthermore, a temporary storage space 1131 is formed on the inner side of the station body 113, and the shock-absorbing mechanism 114 is located above the temporary storage space 1131. It should be noted that the shock-absorbing mechanism 114 in this embodiment can be used to reduce or buffer low-frequency vibrations, and its specific structure can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs. For ease of understanding, the following description will use one feasible state of the shock-absorbing mechanism 114, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0050] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing mechanism 114 includes two diagonal braces 1141 arranged adjacent to each other, and each diagonal brace 1141 is elongated and elastically deformable. The two diagonal braces 1141 have substantially the same structure, and the two diagonal braces 1141 can be parallel to each other and tangent to each other along the width direction W.

[0051] Furthermore, one end of each of the two diagonal braces 1141 is connected to the station body 113 (e.g., one of the ends of the station body 113), while the other ends of each of the two diagonal braces 1141 are respectively connected to the two crossbeams 1111. Moreover, each diagonal brace 1141 and the connected crossbeam 1111 can be separated by an angle σ between 25 and 30 degrees (e.g., ...). Figure 5 This invention provides optional low-frequency shock absorption, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the two diagonal braces 1141 are respectively located within the two projection spaces formed by the orthographic projection of the two crossbeams 1111 along the height direction H toward the station body 113. Furthermore, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the two diagonal braces 1141 may not be parallel to each other, and the other ends of the two diagonal braces 1141 are connected to form a V-shaped structure.

[0053] A plurality of storage compartments 12 are disposed within the temporary storage space 1131, and the plurality of storage compartments 12 are arranged in a row at intervals from each other. That is, the plurality of storage compartments 12 are located below the track 111 along the height direction H. It should be noted that since the plurality of storage compartments 12 adopt a substantially similar structure in this embodiment, for ease of explanation, the following description only describes the structure of one of the storage compartments 12, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the structure of the plurality of storage compartments 12 may also vary slightly according to actual needs.

[0054] In this embodiment, the storage compartment 12 includes a base 121 and a plurality of shock-absorbing pads 122 connecting the base 121 and the station body 113. The base 121 is generally plate-shaped and has a plurality of electrostatically conductive positioning structures 1211, such as polyoxymethylene (POM) structures. Furthermore, the base 121 is used to place the carrier 2 so that the plurality of positioning parts 213 of the carrier 2 can be respectively positioned on the plurality of electrostatically conductive positioning structures 1211 of the base 121, thereby effectively preventing any object in the carrier 2 from experiencing electrostatic breakdown and resulting in defective products.

[0055] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned shock-absorbing pads 122 is described as a single rubber pad in this embodiment, and multiple shock-absorbing pads 122 are spaced apart from each other and can be respectively disposed at multiple corners of the base 121, but this utility model is not limited thereto. Thus, the base 121 can be disposed on the station body 113 by means of multiple shock-absorbing pads 122, thereby improving the shock absorption function (e.g., high-frequency shock absorption function) and effectively improving the overall product yield.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the carrier 2 can be placed on or removed from the seat 121 via the transport vehicle 3 (on the first side S1). Further, a plurality of reflectors 13 are mounted on the station body 113 and located outside the second side S2 of the station body 113. The plurality of reflectors 13 are respectively adjacent to a plurality of storage compartments 12, allowing the transport vehicle 3 to accurately determine, from the first side S1, whether the carrier 2 is placed in the corresponding storage compartment 12 by observing the reflectivity of each reflector 13.

[0057] Furthermore, to prevent the vehicle 2 from falling off the station body 113 due to large shaking (such as an earthquake), the aerial temporary storage station 1 is installed on the station body 113 with the first fence pole 14 and the second fence pole 15. Specifically, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first fence post 14 is located outside the first side S1 of the station body 113, and the top edge of the first fence post 14 is higher than the base 121 but lower than any of the reflectors 13, thereby preventing the carrier 2 from falling while avoiding interference with the operation of the transport vehicle 3. Furthermore, the second fence post 15 is located outside the second side S2 of the station body 113, and the top edge of the first fence post 14 is higher than any of the reflectors 13, but this utility model is not limited to this.

[0058] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of this Utility Model]

[0059] In summary, the vehicle handling system and aerial storage station disclosed in this utility model embodiment can enhance the shock absorption function (such as high-frequency shock absorption function) by setting multiple shock-absorbing pads on the station body through the base, thereby effectively improving the overall product yield.

[0060] Furthermore, the vehicle handling system and aerial storage station disclosed in this embodiment of the invention can further reduce or buffer low-frequency vibrations by configuring anti-vibration mechanisms at specific locations.
