具体实施方式
以下,针对本发明的实施方式,参照附图进行详细说明。此外,在本说明书的整个实施方式中,对于相同的部件赋予相同的符号。在附图中根据需要以中空箭头表示前方F与后方B。此外,在附图中,将前方F以及后方B表示为X轴方向,将上下方向表示为Y轴方向,将与X轴方向以及Y轴方向正交的左右方向表示为Z轴方向。
针对基板收纳容器进行说明。图1是表示本发明的实施方式所涉及的基板收纳容器的分解立体图。图2是表示容器主体的俯视图。
图1所示的基板收纳容器1具备:盖体10以及收纳两枚以上的基板W的容器主体20。作为被收纳于基板收纳容器1中的基板W,例如可以列举直径为300mm或者450mm的半导体晶片、以及玻璃掩模等。
容器主体20是所谓的前开箱型,其由形成开口部21的前方开口框架、后壁、左右侧壁23、顶板表面22、以及底面所形成。该容器主体20的开口部21通过盖体10封闭。在容器主体20的顶板表面22上,拆装自如地安装有后述的搬送部件30(也可以参照附图2)。
盖体10以及容器主体20利用包含预定树脂的成形材料将两个以上的部件分别射出成形,并将两个以上的部件组装而形成。作为成形材料中的预定树脂,例如可以列举机械特性或者耐热性能优异的聚碳酸酯、聚醚醚酮、聚醚酰亚胺、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯、聚缩醛、液晶聚合物、或者环烯烃树脂等。并且,根据需要,也可以在这些树脂中选择性地添加碳、金属纤维、导电性聚合物、抗静电剂、或者阻燃剂等。
针对搬送部件进行说明。图3是表示将搬送部件从容器主体分离后的状态的俯视图。图4是表示从后侧显示搬送部件的立体图。图5是表示沿图2的A-A线切断的局部的剖视图。
图4所示的搬送部件30拆装自如地安装在容器主体20的顶板表面22的大致中央部分。搬送部件30也称为机器人凸缘,在安装于容器主体20的状态下,例如被高架搬送装置把持,并被搬送。从切实可靠地支撑收纳了基板W的基板容纳容器1的观点出发,该搬送部件30由与盖体10和容器主体20相同的成形材料成形而制成。
搬送部件30在俯视下,具备大致中空框架形状的部件主体31。在该部件主体31的(顶板表面22侧)下端部的两侧,左右一对被夹持板32在水平方向上延申。另一方面,由高架搬送装置所把持的凸缘33一体地形成在部件主体31的开口的上端部。
被夹持板32形成为与容器主体20的顶板表面22重合的平坦的板状,其两侧面320以在前方F侧相互靠近的方式倾斜。在被夹持板32穿设有流通口321,流通口321在俯视下为长形的孔状。通过该流通口321,即使搬送部件30在安装于容器主体20的状态下被洗净,仍能够使洗净水或者干燥空气流通,因此洗净水不会残留,能够在短时间内使其干燥。
此外,在被夹持板32中,在背面的前端以及两侧形成有两个以上的凹凸部322。两个以上的凹凸部322除了形成在被夹持板32的背面之外,还可以根据需要形成在部件主体31的纵向壁34的背面等。该两个以上的凹凸部322与容器主体20的顶板表面22形成两个以上的间隙。通过该间隙,与流通口321相同,即便搬送部件30在安装于容器主体20的状态下被洗净,仍然能够使洗净水或者干燥空气流通,所以洗净水不会残留,能够在短时间内使其干燥。
凸缘33形成为四个角部经过倒角而成的扁平的矩形形状,并在中央部形成凹部330,在高架搬送装置中被感测或者定位。凹部330形成为大致圆锥台形,与两个以上的加强肋35的弯曲部的附近一体化形成。
在凸缘33穿设有与部件主体31内连通的流通口332、4个方孔333,以及流通口334。具体而言,在前方F中央侧穿设有流通口332,在后方B中央侧穿设有流通口334。此外,4个方孔333以包围凹部330的方式穿设。
在4个方孔333中,第一被卡合部36从位于容器主体20的前方F侧的左右一对方孔333可视认并且可操作地露出(参照图3以及图5)。此外,第二被卡合部37从流通口334可视认并且可操作地露出(参照图3)。
此外,部件主体31在前后左右具备纵向壁34,在内部的前后左右设置有与凸缘33一体化的用于确保强度的两个以上的加强肋35。在两个以上的加强肋35中,位于容器主体20的前方F侧的左右一对加强肋35分别与朝向前方F侧延伸的可弹性形变的第一被卡合部36一体地形成。此外,在纵向壁34穿设有两个以上的流通口340,洗净水或者干燥空气等可以在部件主体31的内外流通。
加强肋35在俯视时形成为L形,其以跨于部件主体31的纵向壁34的角部的方式一体地架设于纵向壁34的内面之间,并与部件主体31的纵向壁34之间区划出俯视时为大致矩形的空间,并且与方孔333连通。加强肋35形成为低于部件主体31的纵向壁34,并形成使洗净水或者干燥空气流通的未图示的间隙。洗净水或者干燥空气经由该间隙和纵向壁34的流通口340在部件主体31的内外流通。
第一被卡合部36形成为具有柔性的大致直板形状,并且与侧面的加强肋35相对,其之间具有间隙,并在前端下部一体地形成圆柱形的锁定销360。在第一被卡合部36的端部,一体地形成操作用的把持片361,把持片361形成为朝向上方隆起的大致半圆形(参照图6)。
由于第一被卡合部36在搬送部件30的左右方向,也就是在容器主体20的Z轴方向上弯曲而位移,所以第一被卡合部36的弯曲被调整到不会抵接在方孔333的内侧边350的程度。
第二被卡合部37形成为从凹部330朝向后方B侧延申到流通口334中。第二被卡合部37大致为板状,朝向后方B侧,并且朝向顶板表面22形成,第二被卡合部37的前端朝向后方B侧屈曲,以与顶板表面22平行的方式形成(参照图7)。
此处,第二被卡合部37可以形成为使得第二被卡合部37的前端接触顶板表面22,或者可以形成微小间隙。屈曲部分的前方F侧形成为具有圆角。
其次,针对安装机构进行说明。图6是表示第一安装部的局部横截面的立体图。图7是表示第二安装部的局部横截面的立体图。
安装搬送部件30的安装机构40与容器主体20的顶板表面22一体地形成。因此,安装机构40利用与容器主体20相同的成形材料成形而制成。
安装机构40包括:第一安装部40A、以及第二安装部40B(参照图6以及图7)。第一安装部40A设置于容器主体20的前方F侧,即开口部21侧,第二安装部40B设置在远离开口部21的侧,即后方B侧。
该安装机构40在容器主体20的顶板表面22的表面的两侧具备相对向的左右一对支撑轨道24(参照图3)。具体而言,一对支撑轨道24被配置为夹着容器主体20的顶板表面22的中央部。上述的搬送部件30被拆装自如地支撑于一对支撑轨道24之间。
一对支撑轨道24被设置为,使支撑轨道24与支撑轨道24之间的宽度从容器主体20的后方B侧朝向前方F侧逐渐变窄的方式倾斜。此外,支撑轨道24弯曲形成从顶板表面22上升的大致L形横截面(参照图5),以便与顶板表面22之间形成凹槽,并且在容器主体20的前后方向上直线延伸。
在一对支撑轨道24之间的前方F侧,在容器主体20的顶板表面22上形成具有与支撑轨道24相同的横截面的大致为L形的挡块25(参照图3)。挡块25规制搬送部件30的朝向前方F侧的移动,并将其配合卡止。
左右一对第一安装部40A设置在容器主体20的位于挡块25之间的顶板表面22上。第一安装部40A具备在容器主体20的前方F侧延伸的导向片26,在导向片26的外侧面前部一体地形成有干涉卡合部27。
导向片26与干涉卡合部27的前部被大致组合成略微变形的平面Y字状的叉形部28,导向片26朝向Z轴方向的各内侧倾斜。干涉卡合部27较导向片26更朝向容器主体20的前方F侧延伸,其前端成为叉形部28。叉形部28没有特别限定,但是从防止搬送部件30在被卡止后,沿插入方向上容易脱落的观点出发,优选在插入方向上形成为倾斜或者凹陷的方式。
第二安装部40B作为在一对第一安装部40A之间的后方B侧沿左右延伸的凸起设置在一个位置处。第二安装部40B的形状为,在后方B侧具有倾斜表面的山形,横截面形状基本上为直角三角形,并且其顶部形成为具有圆角(参照图7)。
针对搬送部件的安装到安装机构的安装方法进行说明。
在将搬送部件30安装到容器主体20的安装机构40上时,将搬送部件30配置于容器主体20的顶板表面22的后方B侧,使搬送部件30的被夹持板32分别夹持于安装机构40的两对以上的支撑轨道24之间,朝向容器主体20的前方F侧滑动,使搬送部件30的被夹持板32的前部与各挡块25配合卡止,从而防止搬送部件30向上方脱落(参照图3)。
此时,由于安装机构40的两对以上的支撑轨道24在容器主体20的前后方倾斜,所以能够以简单的结构防止搬送部件30相对于容器主体20的位置偏离或者松动。因此,能够使搬送部件30滑动至适合的特定位置。此外,由于搬送部件30的被夹持板32的侧面320也对应于支撑轨道24的倾斜而倾斜,因此不存在将设置搬送部件30时的朝向弄错的情况。
此外,如图6所示,当搬送部件30滑动到前方F侧时,在安装机构40的第一安装部40A的倾斜的一对导向片26,与搬送部件30的第一被卡合部36的锁定销360相接,并被引导,一对第一被卡合部36在左右方向,具体而言,在容器主体20的Z轴方向的内侧分别弯曲而位移后,各锁定销360越过导向片26的前部,与导向片26和干涉卡合部27的分叉的叉形部28卡合。
另外,如图7所示,当锁定销360越过导向片26的前部,并与导向片26和干涉卡合部27的分叉的叉形部28卡合时,第二被卡合部37几乎同时与安装机构40的第二安装部40B卡合。也就是说,当搬送部件30滑动到前方F侧时,则第二被卡合部37在Y轴方向上弯曲而位移,并越过第二安装部40B的倾斜部从而卡合。
相反,将搬送部件30从容器主体20的安装机构40上移除时,必须对第一安装部40A与第二安装部40B进行两个操作。
首先,对于第一安装部40A,将手指从上方插入搬送部件30的方孔333中,朝向方孔333的内侧边350方向从左右按压各第一被卡合部36的把持片361,使各第一被卡合部36朝向容器主体20的左右方向内侧弯曲而位移,从而解除干涉卡合部27与锁定销360的卡合。
然后,对于第二安装部40B,将第二被卡合部37在Y轴方向上抬起,使其位移,从而解除与第二安装部40B的卡合。因此,通过对第一安装部40A与第二安装部40B进行两个操作,使搬送部件30相对于安装机构40朝向后方B侧滑动,从而能够将搬送部件30从安装机构40上移除。
如上所述,本发明的实施方式所涉及的基板收纳容器1具备:容器主体20,其具有由盖体10封闭的开口部21,并且可以收纳两块以上的基板W;以及搬送部件30,其拆装自如地安装于设置在所述容器主体20的安装机构40上;安装机构40包括第一安装部40A以及第二安装部40B,所述第一安装部40A在容器主体20的开口部21侧(前方F侧),所述第二安装部40B在远离开口部的侧(后方B侧)。
通过上述构成,由于搬送部件30在第一安装部40A与第二安装部40B的两处与容器主体20卡合,因此可以提高搬送部件30相对容器主体20的安装性。将本实施方式的基板收纳容器1与无第二安装部40B的专利文献1中的常规的基板收纳容器,就向后方B侧按压安装于容器主体20的搬送部件30,搬送部件30是否从容器主体20上脱落做实验进行了对比,实验结果为:与常规的基板收纳容器相比,在本实施方式的基板收纳容器1中,进一步还需要550N以上的作用力,搬送部件30才能够从容器主体20上脱落。
此外,由于搬送部件30从容器主体20的后方B侧朝向前方F侧滑动并且与支撑轨道24拆装自如地卡合,并且与挡块25配合卡止,因此可以规制超出必要的滑动。
进一步,由于第二安装部40B的顶部形成为具有圆角,并且第二被卡合部37的前端的屈曲部的前方F侧也形成为具有圆角,所以第二被卡合部37在Y轴方向上弯曲并越过第二安装部40B的倾斜部而卡合时,能够在无障碍下顺利地滑动卡合。
在实施方式中,对于第一安装部40A以及第二安装部40B分别实施操作,从而移除搬送部件30。由此,提高了将搬送部件30安装于容器主体20的安装性,并且搬送部件30不容易通过一个动作而脱落。
(变形例)
在上述实施方式中,第一安装部40A设置有两处,第二安装部40B设置有一处,但并不限定于此。例如,第一安装部40A可以设置为一处或者三处以上,第二安装部40B可以设置为两处以上。此时,第一被卡合部36、以及第二被卡合部37对应于各第一安装部40A、第二安装部40B而形成。
在上述实施方式中,与第一安装部40A卡合的第一被卡合部36在X轴方向,即左右方向上位移,与第二安装部40B卡合的第二被卡合部37在Y轴方向上,即上下方向上位移,但如果第一被卡合部36的位移的方向与第二被卡合部37的位移的方向不同,则位移的方向并不限定于这些方向。
在上述实施方式中,搬送部件30相对于安装机构40的第一安装部40A以及第二安装部40B的两处几乎同时卡合,但为了分散搬送部件30安装于容器主体20时的作用力(使其滑动的作用力),也可以将第一安装部40A以及第一被卡合部36,与第二安装部40B以及第二被卡合部37的形成位置错开,从而错开卡合时间。
在上述实施方式中,尽管将机器人凸缘作为搬送部件30安装在容器主体20的顶板表面22上所设置的安装机构40上,然而,也可以在容器主体20的周壁,即左右侧壁23的外表面上设置安装机构40,将手动握柄作为搬送部件30安装在安装机构40上。
此外,在移除安装于容器主体20的安装机构40上的搬送部件30的情况时,可以制作专用的治具,使用专用治具进行移除。
以上,针对本发明的优选实施方式进行了详细说明,但是本发明并不限定于上述的实施方式,在权利要求的范围内所记载的本发明的要旨的范围内,可以进行各种修改和变更。
