[0002] Silicon wafers, as an important industrial raw material, are widely used in the production of products such as solar cells and circuit boards. In the actual production process, the specifications and dimensions of silicon wafers, which are the main raw materials, will vary, so silicon wafer boxes of different sizes are needed to store them.

[0003] Currently, existing silicon wafer cassettes are not suitable for storing silicon wafers of different sizes, nor can their volume be adjusted. This necessitates the use of a large number of silicon wafer cassettes of different sizes, which not only causes waste but also affects production efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the practicality of silicon wafer cassettes and to promote technological progress in the industry and enhance core technological competitiveness, this application proposes a new implementation scheme that differs from the existing silicon wafer cassette structure and application method. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing silicon wafer cassettes are not suitable for storing silicon wafers of different sizes, nor can their volume be adjusted. This requires the use of a large number of silicon wafer cassettes of different sizes, which not only causes waste but also affects production efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a silicon wafer cassette with adjustable volume.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable-volume silicon wafer cassette includes a cassette body. The cassette body has multiple insertion slots inside, each slot engaging a first side partition and a second side partition. The first and second side partitions are arranged in a crisscross pattern. Each of the first and second side partitions has an insertion strip at one end, which engages with the insertion slot. The bottom of the first side partition has multiple lower grooves, and the top of the second side partition has multiple upper grooves, which engage with each other. The top of the cassette body has a cover plate with a fastening bolt at its top. The bottom end of the fastening bolt passes through the cassette body and is fixedly connected to the top of the cassette body. The multiple first and second side partitions are arranged in a crisscross pattern to form a rectangular structure.

[0007] Furthermore, both the insertion slot and the insertion strip are T-shaped structures.

[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate has an L-shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a first rubber pad is adhered to both sides of the first and second side partitions, and a second rubber pad is adhered to the bottom inner wall of the material box body.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the material box body is provided with multiple notches, and the notches are distributed in a ring array on the top of the material box body.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the material box body is integrally formed with multiple reinforcing ribs, and the reinforcing ribs are distributed in a mesh pattern.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the material box body is fixedly connected with a support leg.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the first and second side partitions, can be fixed to the material box body by the insertion strip and groove, and can also be fixed by the upper and lower grooves. The volume of the material box can be adjusted by inserting or removing the corresponding partitions as needed, so as to adapt to the storage needs of silicon wafers of different sizes. It can also flexibly adjust its own volume size, avoiding the waste of resources and low production efficiency caused by the need to configure multiple specifications of material boxes due to volume differences, and greatly improving the flexibility and economy of silicon wafer material boxes.

[0015] 2. This utility model further fixes the structure with a cover plate and fastening bolts, and ensures that the stability of the material box will not be affected by the movement of silicon wafers during use, which would cause the first side partition and the second side partition to detach, thereby affecting the overall use effect.

The fit gap between the insertion strip 5 and the insertion slot 2 is 0.1-0.15mm.

[0024] The first side partition 3 and the second side partition 4 are both made of POM engineering plastic with a thickness of 5mm and are distributed in a cross pattern; the insert strip 5 is integrated with the partition.

[0025] The bottom of the first side partition 3 is provided with multiple lower grooves 301, and the top of the second side partition 4 is provided with multiple upper grooves 401. The lower grooves 301 and the upper grooves 401 are inserted into each other. The fit gap between the upper grooves 401 and the lower grooves 301 is 0.05-0.1mm. The spacing between each slot on the lower grooves 301 and the upper grooves 401 is the same and is 10mm.

[0026] The top of the material box body 1 is provided with a cover plate 7, and the top of the cover plate 7 is provided with a fastening bolt 8. The bottom end of the fastening bolt 8 passes through the material box body 1 and is threadedly connected to the top of the material box body 1. Multiple first side partitions 3 and second side partitions 4 are distributed in a cross pattern to form a rectangular structure.

[0027] Among them, the insertion slot 2 and the insertion strip 5 are both T-shaped structures. The T-shaped structure can improve the installation stability of the first side partition 3 and the second side partition 4. The cover plate 7 is an L-shaped structure.

[0028] The first side partition 3 and the second side partition 4 are both bonded with a first rubber pad 6, and the bottom inner wall of the material box body 1 is bonded with a second rubber pad 10. The first rubber pad 6 and the second rubber pad 10 are both silicone rubber pads, which can protect the silicon wafer and prevent the silicon wafer from being damaged due to collision.

[0029] The bottom of the material box body 1 has multiple notches 9, which are arranged in a ring array on the top of the material box body 1.
