[0046] Some conveying lines in the related art are provided with permanent magnets on the mover, and coils extending to different movement paths are arranged at the branch part. When the mover moves to the branch part, the coils on one side are energized to generate magnetic attraction between the coils and the permanent magnets on the mover. Under the guidance of the magnetic attraction, the mover is guided into the corresponding movement path, thereby realizing the switching of the movement path. However, this scheme has strict restrictions on the weight of the mover, the size of the permanent magnet, the distance between the permanent magnet and the coil, and other conditions, and has high implementation difficulty. In addition, the control difficulty is high and the reversing efficiency is low when switching the movement path.

[0047] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of the present application provide a conveying line, which aims to provide a relatively simple and easy-to-implement structure for switching the movement path of the mover, and to reduce the control difficulty and improve the reversing efficiency.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 1-4 and 9-11, the conveying line 1 in the embodiment of the present application comprises a mover 10, a switching stator 20, a reversing assembly 30 and a transplanting mechanism 60. The switching stator 20 comprises a first conveying end 21, a second conveying end 22 and a third conveying end 23, and the first conveying end 21 and the second conveying end 22 form a first conveying path 24 therebetween, and the first conveying end 21 and the third conveying end 23 form a second conveying path 25 therebetween. The reversing assembly 30 comprises a guide 31 and a driving member 32, and the driving member 32 is connected with the guide 31 to drive the guide 31 to move between a first position and a second position, and the guide 31 has a first guide portion 311 and a second guide portion 312. Wherein, when the guide 31 is in the first position, the first guide portion 311 can guide the mover 10 to move along the first conveying path 24, and when the guide 31 is in the second position, the second guide portion 312 can guide the mover 10 to move along the second conveying path 25. The transplanting mechanism 60 is used to transfer the workpiece 2 to the mover 10.

[0049] Wherein, the switching stator 20 is arranged at the branch of the conveying line 1 to realize the splitting or merging of the movement path. That is, one movement path can be split into multiple movement paths after passing through the switching stator 20, or multiple movement paths can be merged into one movement path after passing through the switching stator 20. Exemplarily, in the conveying line 1 shown in FIG. 2, two switching stators 20 are included, which are shown in the A part and the B part of FIG. 2, wherein, in the structure shown in the A part of FIG. 2, the guide 31 is in the first position (please refer to FIG. 3), and in the structure shown in the B part of FIG. 2, the guide 31 is in the second position (please refer to FIG. 4).

[0050] Specifically, the switching stator 20 comprises the first conveying end 21, the second conveying end 22 and the third conveying end 23, and the first conveying end 21 and the second conveying end 22 form the first conveying path 24 therebetween, and the first conveying end 21 and the third conveying end 23 form the second conveying path 25 therebetween. The second conveying end 22 and the third conveying end 23 can lead to different movement paths, so that the mover 10 can switch to the corresponding movement path during passing through the switching stator 20.

[0051] The reversing assembly 30 comprises a guide 31 and a driving member 32 for driving the guide 31 to move. The guide 31 has a first guide portion 311 and a second guide portion 312, which can be understood as that the first guide portion 311 and the second guide portion 312 both guide the mover 10 in a contact manner. That is, when the guide 31 is in the first position, the mover 10 contacts the first guide portion 311 during passing through the switching stator 20, so as to be guided by the first guide portion 311, and the mover 10 moves along the first conveying path 24; when the guide 31 is in the second position, the mover 10 contacts the second guide portion 312 during passing through the switching stator 20, so as to be guided by the second guide portion 312, and the mover 10 moves along the second conveying path 25.

[0052] The transplanting mechanism 60 is used for transferring the workpiece 2 to the mover 10, that is, the transplanting mechanism 60 can transfer the workpiece 2 from the storage position to the mover 10, so as to convey the workpiece 2 by using the conveying line 1. Of course, the transplanting mechanism 60 can also take the workpiece 2 on the mover 10 and transfer it to the designated position, so as to unload. In this way, compared with manually transferring the workpiece 2, it is more time-saving and labor-saving. Specifically, the mover 10 has a carrying cavity 16, and the transplanting mechanism 60 can comprise a control member 61 and a transfer member 62, the control member 61 is electrically connected with the transfer member 62, and the control member 61 is used for driving the transfer member 62 to transfer the workpiece 2 to the carrying cavity 16, or the control member 61 can also drive the transfer member 62 to take out the workpiece 2 in the carrying cavity 16. The transplanting mechanism 60 can play a role of loading or unloading the mover 10, exemplarily, the mover 10 is transported on the main conveying line 80, during the transportation, the mover 10 can change the movement path by passing through the switching stator 20, and then is loaded or unloaded on the auxiliary conveying line 90, and finally returns to the main conveying line 80 by passing through the switching stator 20 to continue the transportation.

[0053] Exemplarily, the control member 61 can be a controller, a control box or the like, and the transfer member 62 is any kind of structural member or combined structural member capable of carrying the workpiece 2 and transferring the workpiece 2. It can be understood that the transplanting mechanism 60 can also comprise a driving transmission structure connected with the transfer member 62, and the driving transmission structure is used for providing power for the transfer member 62 to drive the transfer member 62 to move. The control member 61 can control the driving transmission structure to control the movement of the transfer member 62 by the driving transmission structure, so that the transfer member 62 moves along the preset working path. The driving transmission structure can be a belt conveying structure, a linear motor conveying structure, a pneumatic conveying structure, etc., and the driving transmission structure can adopt one of the above conveying modes or a combination of multiple conveying modes.

[0054] The working path of the transfer piece 62 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the storage position of the workpiece 2 is below the auxiliary conveying line 90, and at this time, the transfer piece 62 can slide vertically to transfer the workpiece 2. For another example, the storage position of the workpiece 2 is beside the auxiliary conveying line 90, and at this time, the transfer piece 62 can slide horizontally to transfer the workpiece 2. For another example, the workpiece 2 is provided with a storage point below and beside the auxiliary conveying line 90, and at this time, the transfer piece 62 can slide vertically, and the transfer piece 62 can also slide horizontally, so that the transfer of the workpiece 2 is more convenient, and the setting of the transplanting mechanism 60 is more time-saving and labor-saving than the manual transfer of the workpiece 2. In addition, the transplanting mechanism 60 in the embodiment can also be set to transfer the workpiece 2 in any direction, which changes the way of feeding the workpiece 2 from a fixed single direction, so as to facilitate the transplanting mechanism 60 to transfer the workpiece 2 arranged at each position, and further improve the convenience of transferring the workpiece 2.

[0055] The conveying line 1 in the embodiment of the application is provided with the reversing assembly 30. By making the guide piece 31 in the reversing assembly 30 be in the first position or the second position, the first guide part 311 or the second guide part 312 plays a guiding role on the mover 10, so as to guide the mover 10 to different conveying paths, thereby realizing the selection and switching of the movement path of the mover 10. Compared with the guiding mode of the mover 10 by the coil and the permanent magnet, the guiding mode of contacting and guiding the mover 10 has no excessive limitation condition, is relatively easy to implement, has relatively small control difficulty, and is also beneficial to improving the reversing efficiency due to the better stability of the contact type guiding mode and the stable reversing when the reversing speed is set fast.

[0056] In addition, by setting the transplanting mechanism 60, the workpiece 2 can be transferred from the storage position to the mover 10, or the workpiece 2 on the mover 10 can be taken down and transferred to the specified position, thereby realizing the automatic transfer process of the workpiece 2. Compared with the mode of transferring the workpiece 2 by workers, the mode is more labor-saving and has higher work efficiency.

[0057] It can be understood that the conveying line 1 further includes at least one track stator 70, each track stator 70 is provided with a conveying path, and the track stator 70 can be connected with the switching stator 20. When the number of track stators 70 is multiple, the multiple track stators 70 can be connected in sequence to construct the movement path of the mover 10. The track stator 70 can have different forms, for example, a straight line type or a curve type, and different forms of track stators 70 can be combined together, so that diversified movement paths can be formed.

[0058] The transplanting mechanism 60 can be arranged close to the track stator 70, especially close to the linear track stator 70, so that the transplanting mechanism 60 can transfer the workpiece 2 to the carrying cavity 16 of the mover 10 or take out the workpiece 2 in the carrying cavity 16 of the mover 10 when the mover 10 moves to the track stator 70, thereby facilitating to reduce the difficulty of the transplanting mechanism 60 transferring the workpiece 2 to the mover 10.

[0059] As shown in FIGS. 3-6, in some embodiments, the driving member 32 includes a main body part 321 and a telescopic part 322 connected with the main body part 321, and the telescopic part 322 is connected with the guide member 31 to drive the guide member 31 to move along a linear track. The switching stator 20 includes a stator body 26 and a guide rail 27 connected with the stator body 26, and the guide rail 27 defines a first conveying path 24 and a second conveying path 25. When the guide member 31 is in the first position, the first conveying path 24 is in a conductive state, and when the guide member 31 is in the second position, the second conveying path 25 is in a conductive state.

[0060] The driving member 32 includes a main body part 321 and a telescopic part 322 connected with the main body part 321, and it can be understood that the telescopic part 322 can be telescopic relative to the main body part 321, thereby driving the guide member 31 to move along a linear motion track. Exemplarily, the driving member 32 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, or the like device capable of outputting linear motion. In a preferred example, the driving member 32 is a cylinder, which has a fast telescopic speed and stable work, thereby facilitating to improve the switching speed of the switching assembly 30.

[0061] The switching stator 20 includes a stator body 26 and a guide rail 27 connected with the stator body 26, and the guide rail 27 can limit the motion track during the motion of the mover 10, so that the first conveying path 24 and the second conveying path 25 can be defined through the guide rail 27.

[0062] In addition, when the guide member 31 is in the first position, the first conveying path 24 is in a conductive state, so that the mover 10 can smoothly move along the first conveying path 24. Similarly, when the guide member 31 is in the second position, the second conveying path 25 is in a conductive state, so that the mover 10 can smoothly move along the second conveying path 25.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 3-6, in some embodiments, the switching stator 20 further includes a first limiting member 41 and a second limiting member 42, and the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 42 are fixed to the guide rail 27. The guide member 31 abuts against the first limiting member 41 when the guide member 31 is in the first position, and the guide member 31 abuts against the second limiting member 42 when the guide member 31 is in the second position.

[0064] The first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 42 are used to limit the guide member 31. When the driving member 32 drives the guide member 31 to move to the first position, the guide member 31 abuts against the first limiting member 41, so that the guide member 31 can be accurately stopped at the first position. Similarly, when the driving member 32 drives the guide member 31 to move to the second position, the guide member 31 abuts against the second limiting member 42, so that the guide member 31 can be accurately stopped at the second position. Thus, the positioning accuracy of the guide member 31 can be improved, and the position deviation can be prevented.

[0065] Please refer to FIG. 3. In some embodiments, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 42 each include a body 411 and a blocking portion 412. The body 411 is used to abut against the guide member 31, and the blocking portion 412 is connected to one end of the body 411 away from the guide rail 27.

[0066] The body 411 is used to limit the guide member 31. Specifically, when the guide member 31 is at the first position, the body 411 of the first limiting member 41 abuts against the guide member 31. When the guide member 31 is at the second position, the body 411 of the second limiting member 42 abuts against the guide member 31. Thus, the positioning accuracy of the guide member 31 can be improved. On this basis, the first limiting member 41 and the second limiting member 42 are respectively provided with the blocking portion 412. The blocking portion 412 is connected to one end of the body 411 away from the guide rail 27. When the guide member 31 is at the first position, part of the guide member 31 is located between the guide rail 27 and the blocking portion 412 of the first limiting member 41. When the guide member 31 is at the second position, part of the guide member 31 is located between the guide rail 27 and the blocking portion 412 of the second limiting member 42. Thus, by the blocking effect of the blocking portion 412, the guide member 31 can be prevented from tilting or warping away from the guide rail 27 due to gravity or other factors, so as to facilitate the guide member 31 to stably play a guiding role.

[0067] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, in some embodiments, the switching stator 20 further includes a buffer member 50. The buffer member 50 is located on the side of the guide member 31 away from the driving member 32. The buffer member 50 is fixed to the guide rail 27. When the guide member 31 is at the first position, the guide member 31 is in contact with the buffer member 50.

[0068] The buffer 50 is located on the side of the guide 31 away from the driving member 32, that is, the telescopic part 322 of the driving member 32 will contact the buffer 50 during the extension process. The buffer 50 is used for buffering and limiting. Specifically, if the set stroke of the telescopic part 322 is just equal to the movement stroke of the guide 31, the guide 31 will abut against the buffer 50 with a small force when moving to the first position. If the movement speed or weight of the mover 10 is large, the set stroke of the telescopic part 322 can also be large accordingly, so that the set stroke of the telescopic part 322 can be greater than the movement stroke of the guide 31. In this case, there will be a large abutting force between the guide 31 and the first limiting member 41. At this time, the buffer 50 can protect the first limiting member 41, that is, the guide 31 first contacts the buffer 50 before contacting the first limiting member 41. The buffer 50 buffers and releases the force of the guide 31, thereby avoiding excessive impact force between the guide 31 and the first limiting member 41 and causing damage.

[0069] Exemplarily, the buffer 50 can be a spring, a buffer or other devices with a buffering effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the switching stator 20 has the first conveying path 24 and the second conveying path 25, that is, has two conveying paths.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the switching stator 20 can also have a third conveying path, that is, has three conveying paths. Specifically, the switching stator 20 further includes a fourth conveying end, and the third conveying path is formed between the first conveying end 21 and the fourth conveying end. The commutating assembly 30 further includes a second guide and a second driving member, and the second driving member is connected with the second guide to drive the second guide to move between a third position and a fourth position. Wherein, the second guide can guide the mover 10 to move along the first conveying path 24 when the second guide is in the third position, and the second guide can guide the mover 10 to move along the third conveying path when the second guide is in the fourth position.

[0072] The third conveying path and the second conveying path 25 can be located on opposite sides of the first conveying path 24. Exemplarily, the third conveying path and the second conveying path 25 can be arranged symmetrically about the center line of the first conveying path 24, or the third conveying path and the second conveying path 25 can be arranged in a staggered manner along the extension direction of the first conveying path 24.

[0073] Based on the case that the switching stator 20 has three conveying paths, the commutation assembly 30 further comprises a second guide and a second driving member, the second driving member is used to drive the second guide to move, the second guide can guide the mover 10 to move along the first conveying path 24 when the second guide is in the third position, and the second guide can guide the mover 10 to move along the third conveying path when the second guide is in the fourth position. By controlling the movement of the guide 31 and the second guide, the mover 10 can be selectively guided into one of the three conveying paths.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the mover 10 comprises a mover body 11 and a roller 12 rotatably arranged on the mover body 11, and the mover body 11 is provided with a permanent magnet array 13. The switching stator 20 comprises a stator body 26 and a guide rail 27 connected with the stator body 26, and the stator body 26 is provided with an armature winding for magnetic coupling with the permanent magnet array 13 to drive the mover 10 to move, and the roller 12 cooperates with the guide rail 27.

[0075] By coupling the armature winding with the permanent magnet array 13, the mover 10 can be driven to move, and during the movement of the mover 10, the roller 12 of the mover 10 rolls on the guide rail 27. On the one hand, the guide rail 27 can provide a guiding function for the mover 10 during the movement of the mover 10, and on the other hand, the mover 10 is supported on the guide rail 27 by the roller 12, so that the mover 10 can move more stably.

[0076] In one of the embodiments, the number of the rollers 12 is plural, and part of the rollers 12 are first rollers 121, and the other part of the rollers 12 are second rollers 122, the first rollers 121 are configured to roll along the top surface of the guide rail 27, the top surface of the guide rail 27 is the surface of the guide rail 27 close to the stator body 26, and the second rollers 122 are configured to roll along the side surface of the guide rail 27. The second rollers 122 are further used to abut against the first guide part 311 or the second guide part 312 to move along the first conveying path 24 under the guiding action of the first guide part 311 or to move along the second conveying path 25 under the guiding action of the second guide part 312.

[0077] It can be understood that the first rollers 121 and the second rollers 122 are arranged in different directions. For example, the wheel shaft of the first roller 121 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the wheel of the second roller 122 is arranged in a vertical direction, so that the first roller 121 can be supported on the top surface of the guide rail 27, and the second roller 122 can be supported on the side surface of the guide rail 27.

[0078] By arranging the first rollers 121 and the second rollers 122, the mover 10 is supported on the guide rail 27 in both horizontal and vertical directions, so that the mover 10 can move more stably during the movement.

[0079] In addition, when the guide 31 is in the first position, the mover 10 will abut against the first guide portion 311 and roll along the first guide portion 311 in the process of passing through the switching stator 20; when the guide 31 is in the second position, the mover 10 will abut against the second guide portion 312 and roll along the second guide portion 312 in the process of passing through the switching stator 20. Thus, it can be seen that the second roller 122 can also form a supporting action with the guide 31, so that the mover 10 can also move more stably in the process of commutation.

[0080] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in one of the embodiments, the mover 10 further comprises a clamp 14 connected with the mover body 11, and the clamp 14 is used to carry the workpiece 2 to be conveyed. In this way, the conveying of the workpiece 2 can be realized through the movement of the mover 10.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the switching stator 20 comprises a stator body 26 and a guide rail 27 connected with the stator body 26, and the guide rail 27 defines the first conveying path 24 and the second conveying path 25. The guide rail 27 is formed with a first guide surface 271, and the second guide portion 312 is formed with a second guide surface 3121, and the first guide surface 271 and the second guide surface 3121 are both arc surfaces. When the guide 31 is in the second position, the second guide surface 3121 is tangent to the side surface of the guide rail 27 located on one side of the first conveying path 24, and the second guide surface 3121 is also tangent to the first guide surface 271.

[0082] When the guide 31 is in the second position, one end of the second guide surface 3121 is tangent to the side surface of the guide rail 27 located on one side of the first conveying path 24, and the other end of the second guide surface 3121 is tangent to the first guide surface 271 formed on the guide rail 27, which makes the transition between the second guide surface 3121 and the guide rail 27 smooth. In this way, in the process of being guided by the second guide portion 312 into the second conveying path 25, the mover 10 will not produce obvious vibration or jitter, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the movement of the mover 10.

[0083] In one of the embodiments, the plane in which the end surface of the first conveying end 21 is located and the plane in which the end surface of the third conveying end 23 is located have a first intersection line, and the center of the first guide surface 271 and the center of the second guide surface 3121 are both located on the first intersection line.

[0084] In this way, on the basis of being tangent to the first guide surface 271, the second guide surface 3121 also has an equal curvature with the first guide surface 271, so that the mover 10 can move along an arc trajectory and the curvature radius remains unchanged in the process of being guided into the second conveying path 25, which is beneficial to make the mover 10 move at a constant speed, so that the mover 10 can move more stably.

[0085] As shown in FIGS. 1, 9-12, in some embodiments, the conveying line 1 further comprises a main conveying line 80 and an auxiliary conveying line 90, the switching stator 20 is arranged between the main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90, the main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90 are arranged at an angle at the switching stator 20, the first conveying path 24 coincides with the extension direction of the main conveying line 80, and the second conveying path 25 extends from the main conveying line 80 to the auxiliary conveying line 90. The main conveying line 80, the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the switching stator 20 can all be magnetically coupled with the mover 10 and drive the mover 10 to move, and the mover 10 has the carrying cavity 16. The transplanting mechanism 60 is arranged adjacent to the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the transplanting mechanism 60 comprises a control member 61 and a transfer member 62, the control member 61 is electrically connected with the transfer member 62, the control member 61 is used to drive the transfer member 62 to transfer the workpiece 2 to the carrying cavity 16, or the control member 61 can also drive the transfer member 62 to take out the workpiece 2 in the carrying cavity 16, wherein the transfer member 62 transfers the workpiece 2 in the vertical direction and / or in the horizontal direction, and the transplanting mechanism 60 is at least one of a belt conveying, a linear motor conveying, and a pneumatic conveying.

[0086] The main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90 are arranged at an angle at the switching stator 20, which means that the conveying direction of the main conveying line 80 and the conveying direction of the auxiliary conveying line 90 are not parallel at the switching stator 20, and the angle can be perpendicular or non-perpendicular. Further, the angle arrangement can be understood as that, at the switching stator 20, the main conveying line 80 can be understood as two rail stators 70 connected with the first conveying end 21 and the second conveying end 22, the conveying directions of the two rail stators 70 are consistent, and the auxiliary conveying line 90 can be understood as a rail stator 70 connected with the third conveying end 23, the conveying direction of the rail stator 70 is inconsistent with the conveying directions of the previous two rail stators 70, i.e., arranged at an angle.

[0087] The conveying direction only refers to the conveying direction of the rail stator 70, not the conveying direction of the switching stator 20, and the conveying direction is defined as the stator direction of the auxiliary conveying line 80, not the directions of the first conveying path 24 and the second conveying path 25. In addition, since the arc-shaped stator is involved, the conveying track of the arc-shaped stator is an arc, and for the case of the arc-shaped stator, the conveying direction is defined as the movement direction of the mover 10 defined by the third conveying end 23.

[0088] The first conveying path 24 coincides with the extension direction of the main conveying line 80, which means that the extension direction of the first conveying path 24 is consistent with the extension direction of the main conveying line 80, so that the movement direction of the mover 10 does not change during the movement of the mover 10 along the main conveying line 80 and through the first conveying path 24.

[0089] The second conveying path 25 extends from the main conveying line 80 to the auxiliary conveying line 90, and connects the main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90 to the second conveying path 25. The mover 20 can move from the main conveying line 80 to the auxiliary conveying line 90 through the second conveying path 25, and the moving direction of the mover 20 changes during the movement through the second conveying path 25.

[0090] The transplanting mechanism 60 can be used for loading or unloading the mover 10. For example, the mover 10 is transported on the main conveying line 80, and the mover 10 can change the moving path through the switching stator 20 during the transportation, and then is loaded or unloaded on the auxiliary conveying line 90, and finally returns to the main conveying line 80 through the switching stator 20 to continue the transportation. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, the conveying direction of part of the auxiliary conveying line 90 is parallel to the main conveying line 20, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading and improve the order of space arrangement.

[0091] The working path of the transfer member 62 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the storage position of the workpiece 2 is below the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the transfer member 62 can slide vertically to transfer the workpiece 2. For another example, the storage position of the workpiece 2 is beside the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the transfer member 62 can slide horizontally to transfer the workpiece 2. For another example, the workpiece 2 is provided with storage points below and beside the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the transfer member 62 can slide vertically or horizontally to transfer the workpiece 2, so that the transfer of the workpiece 2 is more convenient, and the setting of the transplanting mechanism 60 is more time-saving and labor-saving than the manual transfer of the workpiece 2. In addition, the transplanting mechanism 60 in the embodiment can also be set to transfer the workpiece 2 in any direction, which changes the mode of loading the workpiece 2 from a fixed single direction, so as to facilitate the transplanting mechanism 60 to transfer the workpiece 2 arranged at various positions, and further improve the transfer convenience of the workpiece 2.

[0092] It should be noted that the main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90 are formed by splicing a plurality of track stators 70, the first conveying end 21 can be connected with the track stator 70 on the main conveying line 80, the third conveying end 23 can be connected with the track stator 70 on the auxiliary conveying line 90, the workpiece 2 can be a wafer box or a silicon wafer box, and the conveying line 1 in the embodiment of the application can replace the overhead conveying line in the traditional wafer factory, and the mover 10 can replace the intelligent trolley in the traditional wafer factory, that is, the mover 10 carries the wafer box or the silicon wafer box. In the embodiment of the application, the mover 10 is separately arranged from the transplanting mechanism 60, and after the mover 10 reaches the specified position on the auxiliary conveying line 90, the workpiece 2 arranged at each position can be transferred to the mover 10 through the transplanting mechanism 60, so that the transfer of the workpiece 2 is more convenient, and at this time the mover 10 can only bear the function of conveying the workpiece 2. Compared with the traditional intelligent trolley, the overall quality of the mover 10 is smaller and more portable, and the speed is faster, so that the track load can be reduced and the conveying efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the conveying line 1 in the application has a split-flow function, and a separate auxiliary conveying line 90 is arranged in the conveying line 1 to split the flow for the mover 10 to obtain or interact with the wafer box, without affecting the conveying of other movers 10 in the main conveying line 80, thereby further improving the conveying efficiency.

[0093] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, in some embodiments of the application, the main conveying line 80 and the auxiliary conveying line 90 each include at least one track stator 70, the track stator 70 is magnetically coupled with the mover 10, each track stator 70 is provided with a conveying path, and the track stator 70 can be connected with the switching stator 20. When the number of track stators 70 is multiple, the multiple track stators 70 can be sequentially spliced to construct the movement path of the mover 10. The track stator 70 can have different forms, such as a straight line type or a curve type, and track stators 70 of different forms can be combined together to form diversified movement paths. The transplanting mechanism 60 can be arranged close to the track stator 70, especially close to the straight line type track stator 70, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of the transplanting mechanism 60 transferring the workpiece 2 to the mover 10.

[0094] The first socket 71 can be used for inserting a power line and an optical fiber, the power line can be used for transmitting electric energy to the armature winding in the track stator 70 and the switching stator 20, and the optical fiber can be used for transmitting signals to the track stator 70 and the switching stator 20. Meanwhile, the first socket 71 is arranged on the side of the track stator 70 away from the mover 10, which not only facilitates the cable insertion, but also avoids interference between the first socket 71 arranged on the side and the mover 10 and other components.

[0095] As shown in FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the transplanting mechanism 60 comprises a first moving member 63 and a second moving member 64, and the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are respectively provided with a control member 61 and a transfer member 62. The transfer member 62 on the first moving member 63 can move vertically to transfer the workpiece 2, and the transfer member 62 on the second moving member 64 can move horizontally to transfer the workpiece 2. The first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are arranged adjacent to the auxiliary conveying line 90. The first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are separately and spacedly arranged. The transfer member 62 on the first moving member 63 is a first transfer member 62, and the transfer member 62 on the second moving member 64 is a second transfer member 62. That is, the first transfer member 62 and the second transfer member 62 are completely independently arranged, and the movement of the first transfer member 62 and the second transfer member 62 does not affect each other, so that the workpiece 2 can be prevented from interfering with the horizontal movement and the vertical movement. Meanwhile, the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are separately and independently arranged, that is, the first transfer member 62 and the second transfer member 62 can independently transfer the workpiece 2 in different positions, thereby increasing the range of the transport device that can transfer the workpiece 2, and more flexibly adapting to workpieces 2 of various specifications, improving the conveying diversity of the transport device.

[0096] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are combined, that is, the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are connected, and the first transfer member 62 and the second transfer member 62 are movably coupled. At this time, the second transfer member 62 can first obtain the workpiece 2 from the position where the workpiece 2 is placed, and then the workpiece 2 is transferred to the first transfer member 62 under the transfer of the second transfer member 62, until the workpiece 2 is transferred to the first transfer member 62. Thus, the first transfer member 62 can transfer the workpiece 2 to the mover 10 on the auxiliary conveying line 90. The combined arrangement of the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 can increase the transport range of the workpiece 2, so that the workpiece 2 can be arranged more flexibly and variably.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first moving member 63 comprises a first track (not shown in the figure) extending vertically, and the transfer member 62 is slidably connected to the first track in the vertical direction to transfer the workpiece 2 vertically. The second moving member 64 comprises a second track (not shown in the figure) extending horizontally, and the transfer member 62 is slidably connected to the second track in the horizontal direction to transfer the workpiece 2 horizontally. When the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are separately and spacedly arranged, the first track and the second track are separately arranged. When the first moving member 63 and the second moving member 64 are combined, the first track and the second track are connected. It is easy to understand that, in the present embodiment, the track for the movement of the transfer member 62 is arranged to limit the movement position and direction of the transfer member 62, so that the movement of the transfer member 62 is more regular, and the displacement of the transfer member 62 during movement is prevented.

[0098] Specifically, the transplanting mechanism 60 can be at least one of a belt conveying, a linear motor conveying, and a pneumatic conveying. It can be understood that the first track and the second track can be driven by only one of the above three transmission modes, or two of the three transmission modes, or all of the three transmission modes.

[0099] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in some embodiments of the present application, the mover 10 includes a mover body 11 and a clamp 14. The mover body 11 is connected to and magnetically coupled with the main conveying line 80, the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the switching stator 20. The clamp 14 is arranged on the mover body 11 and forms a bearing cavity 16 together with the mover body 11.

[0100] Specifically, when the mover 10 moves on the auxiliary conveying line 90 to be close to the transplanting mechanism 60, the transfer member 62 can directly convey the workpiece 2 into the bearing cavity 16. At this time, the clamp 14 on the mover body 11 can clamp the workpiece 2, that is, the clamp 14 can provide clamping force for the transportation of the workpiece 2 to ensure the stability of the transportation of the workpiece 2. The side of the clamp 14 away from the mover body 11 (i.e., the bottom of the clamp 14) can be provided with a blocking portion 15. After the clamp 14 clamps the workpiece 2, the blocking portion 15 at the bottom of the clamp 14 can be in contact with the bottom of the workpiece 2, thereby preventing the workpiece 2 from falling out of the bearing cavity 16.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the transplanting mechanism 60 further includes a sensor (not shown in the figure) arranged on the transfer member 62. The sensor is electrically connected to the control member 61. The sensor is used to detect the distance between the mover 10 and the transfer member 62. The sensor is also used to transmit the detected data to the control member 61, so that the control member 61 drives the transfer member 62 to work.

[0102] It is easy to understand that when the sensor detects that the distance between the mover 10 and the transfer member 62 reaches the preset value, the sensor transmits the relevant data signal to the control member 61, so that the control member 61 drives the transfer member 62 to move, so that when the mover 10 reaches the specified position on the auxiliary conveying line 90, the transfer member 62 can timely transfer the workpiece 2 into the carrying cavity 16 of the mover 10, thereby reducing the waiting time of the mover 10 and improving the conveying efficiency of the workpiece 2 in the conveying device. Wherein, the mover 10 can be provided with a reflection strip for reflecting the signal emitted by the sensor, so as to detect the distance between the mover 10 and the transfer member 62; the distance between the mover 10 and the transfer member 62 can be set according to actual conditions; the specified position of the mover 10 on the auxiliary conveying line 90 refers to the position of the transfer member 62 transferring the workpiece 2 into the carrying cavity 16 of the mover 10.

[0103] In some embodiments, the main conveying line 80 is vertically arranged with the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the reversing assembly 30 is arranged on the auxiliary conveying line 90, and the driving member 32 drives the connecting member to move along a straight track, thereby reducing the movement difficulty of the reversing assembly 30, making the movement of the connecting member more simple and stable, and also being beneficial to improve the reversing efficiency.

[0104] In some embodiments, the workpiece 2 can be a wafer box or a silicon wafer box, and the conveying line 1 in the embodiments of the present application can replace the intelligent trolley in the traditional wafer factory, that is, the mover 10 carries the wafer box or the silicon wafer box, and compared with the traditional intelligent trolley, the mover 10 has the characteristics of being more portable and having smaller weight, thereby reducing the track load. And the conveying line in the present application has the function of merging separate lanes, as shown in FIG. 1, the conveying line 1 is provided with a separate lane for obtaining / interacting with the wafer box, which does not affect the conveying of other movers in the main lane, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0105] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the transplanting mechanism 60 can also be used to unload the workpiece 2 from the mover 10, that is, the mover 10 only has the function of carrying and transporting, and after the mover 10 moves along the main lane to the branch road in front of a certain process equipment, the mover 10 turns into the branch lane, and then the workpiece 2 is handed over to the transplanting mechanism 60; then the mover 10 flows back to the main lane through the branch lane and enters the next process. Thereby, the conveying efficiency and process efficiency are improved.

[0106] In some embodiments, the conveying line 1 in the embodiments of the present application can be arranged in the wafer factory, and the transplanting module can be arranged above the EFEM (Equipment Front End Module) position, which is used to be responsible for handing over the silicon wafer box to the equipment EFEM. During the movement process, the mover 10 does not need to carry the EFEM to move, thereby reducing the load of the mover 10, and after the mover 10 is in position, the operation of the workpiece 2 is realized by the transplanting mechanism 60.

[0107] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural changes made according to the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
