Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer cassette carrier technology, and specifically to a wafer cassette carrier device. Background Technology

[0002] When wafers are transported in wafer cassettes, the cassettes need to be stacked inside a cargo box. However, ordinary stacking methods can easily cause adjacent wafer cassettes to collide, resulting in wafer breakage. Therefore, a wafer cassette carrier is needed to be placed inside the cargo box to separate adjacent wafer cassettes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model proposes a wafer cassette carrier device.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A wafer cassette carrier device includes a substrate located below and a cover located above, both of which are made of plastic. The upper end of the substrate is provided with at least one lower limiting groove, and the lower end of the cover is provided with at least one upper limiting groove.

[0006] The lower limiting groove has multiple first limiting protrusions protruding on the inner walls of its opposite sides, and multiple second limiting protrusions protruding on the inner walls of the other two sides. The upper ends of the second limiting protrusions are inclined downwards and inwards.

[0007] Multiple third limiting protrusions are provided on the inner walls of the opposite two sides of the upper limit groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the lower limiting groove has a first through hole penetrating the substrate at its center, and the upper limiting groove has a second through hole penetrating the liner at its center.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the substrate is provided with a plurality of insertion holes located on the outer periphery of the lower limiting groove, and the lower end of the substrate is provided with insertion posts corresponding to the insertion holes.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the first limiting protrusion, the second limiting protrusion, and the third limiting protrusion are hollow inside to form an air cavity.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate and the cover are made of plastic.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are:

[0013] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use. A wafer box is placed in each lower limit groove on the substrate, and a cover is placed on the upper end of the wafer box to separate the wafer boxes and prevent them from being connected. Furthermore, due to the limiting effect of the upper and lower limit grooves, the wafer boxes will not slide in the cargo box, so that there will be no collision between two adjacent wafer boxes during transportation.
