[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a semiconductor magazine 4 positioning device includes: a base 1, a side frame 2, and a top frame 3; the base 1 and the top frame 3 are positioned correspondingly, and one side of the base 1 and the top frame 3 are connected through the side frame 2; the same edge of the base 1 and one side of the side frame 2 have a first gap L; wherein, the first gap L is used to place the magazine 4, and the magazine 4 is located between the base 1 and the top frame 3; wherein, a first clamping plate mechanism 5 for clamping the bottom of the magazine 4 is provided below the base 1; a second clamping plate mechanism 6 for clamping the top of the magazine 4 is provided above the top frame 3. The above design can place the magazine 4 between the base 1, the side frame 2, and the top frame 3, and then the first clamping plate mechanism 5 and the second clamping plate mechanism 6 can firmly clamp the magazine 4 from the top and bottom ends, preventing the magazine 4 from moving left and right during wafer loading, so as to ensure wafer loading efficiency.

[0025] The first clamping mechanism 5 includes a first cylinder 51 and a first U-shaped push rod 52. A first support plate 53 is provided at the bottom of the base 1, away from the magazine 4, and the first cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 53. Parallel lower slide rails 54 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base 1, and a lower slider 55 is provided in the lower slide rails 54. The lower slider 55 is connected to the upper ends of both sides of the first U-shaped push rod 52. A first clamping element 56 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 51, and the first clamping element 56 is connected to a first retaining ring 57 in the middle of the first U-shaped push rod 52. The end of the first U-shaped push rod 52 is provided with a lower deformable clamping plate assembly 7 for clamping the magazine 4. The lower deformable clamping plate assembly 7 is movably connected to the lower extension plate 11 at the front end of the base 1. In the above design, the telescopic movement of the first cylinder 51 can push and pull the first U-shaped push rod 52, thereby causing the first U-shaped push rod 52 to move back and forth along the lower slide rail 54, so that the lower deformable clamping plate assembly 7 can clamp or release the magazine 4 from below.

[0026] The lower deformable clamping plate assembly 7 includes a first lever clamping plate 71; the bottom two sides of the first lever clamping plate 71 are pivotally connected to one end of a first connecting plate 73 via a first pivot 72, and the other end of the first connecting plate 73 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the lower T-shaped connector 58 of the first U-shaped push rod 52 via a second pivot 74; the middle two sides of the first lever clamping plate 71 are pivotally connected to one end of a second connecting plate 76 via a third pivot 75; the other end of the second connecting plate 76 is pivotally connected to the front two sides of the lower extension plate 11 via a fourth pivot 77; wherein, the top two sides of the lower T-shaped connector 58 are pivotally connected to a third connecting plate 78, and the third connecting plate 78 is connected to the middle of the second connecting plate 76 via a fifth pivot 79. In the above design, the lower T-shaped connector 58 can move back and forth with the first U-shaped push rod 52. When the lower T-shaped connector 58 moves forward, the first connecting plate 73 pushes the bottom of the first lever pressing plate 71 forward. At this time, the third connecting plate 78 at the upper end of the lower T-shaped connector 58 pulls the second connection backward, causing the upper end of the first connecting plate 73 to move backward and abut against the bottom of the magazine 4, thus interacting with the side frame 2 to clamp the magazine 4. When the lower T-shaped connector 58 moves backward, the first connecting plate 73 pulls the bottom of the first lever pressing plate 71 backward. At this time, the third connecting plate 78 at the upper end of the lower T-shaped connector 58 pushes the second connection forward, thereby releasing the magazine 4.

[0027] The side frame 2 has vertical rods 21 on both sides of its rear end. The top frame 3 has through holes 22 at its rear end for connecting the vertical rods 21. A bushing 23 is provided at the upper end of the through hole 22, and a positioning collar 24 is provided at the lower end of the through hole 22. A fastening bolt 25 is provided on the outside of the positioning collar 24, and a fastening wrench 26 is provided on the outer end of the fastening bolt 25. In the above design, the height of the top frame 3 can be adjusted up and down along the vertical rods 21 to accommodate different magazines 4. Once the position is determined, the fastening bolt 25 can be rotated by the fastening wrench 26 to fix the position of the positioning collar 24 to support the top frame 3.

[0028] The second clamping mechanism 6 includes a second cylinder 61 and a second U-shaped push rod 62. A second frame plate 63 is located at the top of the top frame 3, away from the magazine 4, and the second cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the second frame plate 63. Upper slide rails 64 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the top of the top frame 3. Upper slide blocks 65 are located within the upper slide rails 64 and are connected to the lower ends of both sides of the second U-shaped push rod 62. A second clamping element 66 is located at the end of the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 61, and is connected to a second retaining ring 67 in the middle of the second U-shaped push rod 62. The end of the second U-shaped push rod 62 is equipped with an upper deformable clamping plate assembly 8 for clamping the magazine 4. The upper deformable clamping plate assembly 8 is movably connected to the upper extension plate 31 at the front end of the top frame 3. In the above design, the second cylinder 61 can push the second U-shaped push rod 62 to move back and forth along the upper slide rail 64, thereby allowing the upper deformable clamping plate assembly 8 to clamp or release the magazine 4 from above. The upper slide rail 64 and the lower slide rail 54 are arranged in parallel. Therefore, both the upper deformable clamping plate assembly 8 and the lower deformable clamping plate assembly 7 move in a direction perpendicular to the side frame 2, thereby clamping the magazine 4.

[0029] The upper deformable clamping plate assembly 8 includes a second lever clamping plate 81; the bottom two sides of the second lever clamping plate 81 are pivotally connected to one end of a fourth connecting plate 83 via a sixth pivot 82, and the other end of the fourth connecting plate 83 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the upper T-shaped connector 68 of the second U-shaped push rod 62 via a seventh pivot 84; the middle two sides of the second lever clamping plate 81 are pivotally connected to one end of a fifth connecting plate 86 via an eighth pivot 85; the other end of the fifth connecting plate 86 is pivotally connected to the front two sides of the upper extension plate 31 via a ninth pivot 87; wherein, the upper T-shaped connector 68 is pivotally connected to the top two sides of the sixth connecting plate 88, and the middle of the sixth connecting plate 88 and the fifth connecting plate 86 are pivotally connected via a tenth pivot 89. In the above design, the upper T-shaped connector 68 can move back and forth with the second U-shaped push rod 62. When the upper T-shaped connector 68 moves forward, the second connecting plate 76 pushes the top of the second lever pressing plate 81 forward. At this time, the sixth connecting plate 88 at the lower end of the upper T-shaped connector 68 pulls the fifth connecting plate 86 backward, causing the lower end of the fourth connecting plate to move backward and abut against the top of the magazine 4, thus interacting with the side frame 2 to clamp the magazine 4. When the upper T-shaped connector 68 moves backward, the fourth connecting plate pulls the top of the second lever pressing plate 81 backward. At this time, the sixth connecting plate 88 at the lower end of the upper T-shaped connector 68 pushes the fifth connecting plate 86 forward, thereby releasing the magazine 4.

[0030] The top frame 3 is connected to a U-shaped protrusion 32 located between the upper extension plates 31 at its front end. The middle part of the support arm 9 is pivotally connected between the ends of the U-shaped protrusion 32. The front end of the support arm 9 is provided with a wheel frame 91, and a pressing wheel 92 is provided in the wheel frame 91. The rear end of the support arm 9 is provided with a through groove 93, and the middle part of the support plates on both sides of the through groove 93 is provided with a strip-shaped slot 94. In the above design, the support arm 9 set on the U-shaped protrusion 32 controls the lifting and lowering of the rear end of the support arm 9, so that the pressing wheel 92 at the front end presses or releases the magazine 4 from directly above.

[0031] A vertical plate 33 is provided on one side of the U-shaped bracket 32. A third cylinder 34 is provided at the front end of the vertical plate 33. The end of the telescopic rod of the third cylinder 34 is connected to a T-shaped connecting rod 35. The T-shaped connecting rod 35 is located in the through groove 93 and its two sides are sleeved in the strip slot 94. A rangefinder 36 for detecting the height of the rear end of the support arm is provided at the upper end of the vertical plate 33. In the above design, the third cylinder 34 can control the lifting and lowering of the rear end of the support arm 9 through the T-shaped connecting rod 35, so as to control the tension of the pressing wheel 92.

[0032] A limiting plate 27 is provided on the side of the side frame 2 that is adjacent to the magazine 4. A photoelectric sensor 28 for detecting the position of the magazine 4 is connected to the limiting plate 21. The photoelectric sensor 28 in the above design can detect whether the magazine 4 has reached the preset position.

[0033] In this application, each cylinder and sensor is connected to an external main control terminal (e.g., computer, PLC). When the external transport mechanism places the magazine 4 between the base 1, side frame 2, and top frame 3, the photoelectric sensor 28 detects whether the magazine 4 has reached the preset position. If the magazine 4 has reached the preset position, the main control terminal activates the third cylinder 34, which presses the magazine 4 from above using the pressing wheel 92. Then, the first cylinder 51 and the second cylinder 61 are activated to clamp the magazine 4 from below and above, respectively, thus securing the magazine 4. After the magazine is loaded, the first cylinder 51 and the second cylinder 61 are released first, followed by the third cylinder 34, so that the external transport mechanism can remove the loaded magazine 4.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
