Describe move into the situation that conveyance device 1 takes out of substrate A from line cage 10 by the substrate of such formation below.
At first, as shown in Figure 2, with jacking system 20 retention wire cages 10.Online cage 10 inherent short transverses are vacated the interval on even keel and are deposited a plurality of substrate A.In the substrate support portion 2 in the online cage 10 of substrate A mounting.Kept after the line cage 10, made jacking system 20 actions, line cage 10 is descended towards substrate support platform 25 by control part.Because substrate support platform 25 is configured to the frame 5b that installs with the bottom surface of line cage 10, does not interfere between 5c, so as shown in Figure 6, substrate support platform 25 inserts in line cages 10 from each lower openings 4 of line cage 10.
When substrate support platform 25 inserted in the line cage 10, as shown in Figure 7, each cylinder 27 that is configured in above the substrate support platform 25 just relatively rose.Then, and then when line cage 10 is descended, as shown in Figure 8, the contact of cylinder 27 tops is positioned at lifts substrate A below the line cage 10 undermost substrate A and leaves substrate support portion 2.After substrate A broke away from, control part is just controlled jacking system 20 stopped decline for the time being.At this moment, 37 one-tenth on the cylinder of the cylinder 27 of substrate support platform 25 and mounting table 31 equal height.
When substrate A broke away from substrate support portion 2, as shown in Figure 9, control part just made maintaining part 32 move to the approaching direction (promptly moving into direction) of taking out of mouth 3 of moving into along shifting chute 35, is located at below the substrate A end.Under this state, start vacuum pump and make substrate A be adsorbed on adsorption orifice 36.Thus, make substrate A end remain on maintaining part 32.
After having kept substrate A by above-mentioned maintenance operation, as shown in figure 10, make maintaining part 32 take out of mouthfuls 3 direction (promptly taking out of direction) and move to leaving to move into.
By this mobile process, substrate A takes out of mouthfuls 3 and moves on the mounting table 31 by moving in the line cage 10.In addition, when taking out of, substrate A is supported by on 27,37 whole on the cylinder, thereby promptly uses 32 of maintaining parts to hold the end and move, and also can stablize in addition and successfully take out of.In addition, owing to the moving velocity that changes maintaining part 32 by control part, so can promptly take out of substrate A.Especially, because cylinder 27,37 and substrate A contact, reduced the friction drag of cylinder 27,37 and substrate A, so can promptly take out of substrate A.
From line cage 10 take out of substrate A and mounting on the mounting table 31 after, make mounting table 31 Rotate 180 degree with rotating part illustrated in figures 1 and 2 34.Then, substrate conveyance device 51 shown in Figure 1 is moved and in abutting connection with mounting table 31.Under this state, shake multi-joint arm 52 is rotated, allow bar-like member 53 insert the groove of the notch of mounting tables 31, lift substrate A and be positioned on the bar-like member 53 from bottom.At this moment, vacuum pump stops action, discharges the substrate A that is attracted maintenance by maintaining body 32.
Behind the mounting substrate A, substrate conveyance device 51 moves up to lining processor 7 along moving track 45, and substrate A is delivered in this lining processor 7.Then, be stored in the not shown storing containers of depositing the substrate A after predetermined processing finishes by 51 conveyances of substrate conveyance device again with the substrate A after lining processor 7 predetermined processing.
And give mounting table 31 on the substrate conveyance device 51 substrate A, and relend and help rotating part 34 and rotate back to original position, take out of mouthful 3 configurations in abutting connection with moving into.Then, start jacking system 20 line cage 10 is descended, repeat above-mentioned action and take out of next substrate A.
And in the present embodiment, substrate is moved into conveyance device 1 and is taken out of substrate A from line cage 10, yet also can use line cage 10 as depositing, receive the substrate A that comes by 41 conveyances of substrate conveyance device and move in the line cage 10 with the container of the substrate A after lining processor 7 predetermined processing.This occasion is taken out of opposite action, moves into substrate A.

At this moment, owing to cylinder 27,37 is set,, can make substrate A stable successfully mobile in addition so can take out of at the state of supporting entire substrate A on the top of substrate support platform 25 and mounting table 31.In addition, owing under the state that is holding the maintenance substrate with maintaining part 32, move, thereby can take out of substrate A reliably, and can change according to the moving velocity of maintaining part 32 simultaneously and take out of speed, can promptly take out of substrate A.Especially on substrate support platform 25 sides, do not need power, as long as provide mobile power, so simplification that can implementation structure to maintaining part 32.
In addition, maintaining part 32 is taken out of this substrate A under the state that holds substrate A end with adsorption orifice 36, can not move into reliably and take out of so can not injure substrate A.
And then, substrate A and cylinder the 27, the 37th, a contact, so friction force reduces, therefore can more promptly take out of substrate A.In addition, because area of contact is little, so be difficult for substrate A is caused damage.
In addition, adopt by ejection air below substrate A and make the mechanism of floating that this substrate A floats, just can prevent that substrate A from contacting with the top of substrate support platform 25 and mounting table 31, can reduce the loads such as impact that give substrate A, the while can prevent to adhere to dust etc.
In addition, though maintaining part holds and keeps substrate at adsorption orifice by vacuum pump action, be not limited thereto, so long as can keep the structure of substrate end just passable.In addition, also can be provided with and clamp the handle sturcture of controlling substrate from above-below direction and maintain substrate.In this occasion owing to can keep substrate more reliably, even thereby move into and take out of velocity variations, also can stablize to move into and take out of substrate.
Secondly, relate to substrate conveyance device second embodiment of the present invention with reference to Figure 11 to Figure 24 explanation.In addition, the inscape of having said among above-mentioned the 1st embodiment is adopted same label and omits explanation.
The substrate conveyance device 11 of present embodiment possesses mounting table 41, connecting mechanism 44 and mobile station 46.Mounting table 41 possesses with the online cage 10 of state of adjacency substrate support platform 25 configurations moves into the head roll (transfer mechanism) 40 of taking out of substrate A and adjusts head roll 40 and the lifting unit (lifting mechanism) 49 of moving into the relative position of taking out of mouth 3.Connecting mechanism 44 possesses mounting substrate the A movably the first arm 42 and second arm 43, just joins substrate A with two arms 42,43 between mounting table 41 and lining processor 7.Mobile station 46 is tabular, and mounting connecting mechanism 44 and mounting table 41 move on a pair of moving track 45 that is provided with between substrate support platform 25 and the lining processor 20 with motor 47.
On mobile station 46, basic platform 48 is set.On the top of basic platform 48, the lifting unit 49 that setting can basic relatively platform 48 liftings.On the top of lifting unit 49, the rotating part 50 of three-sixth turn is revolved in setting vertical axis relatively, and mounting table 41 and connecting mechanism 44 are installed on rotating part 50.Mounting table 41 and connecting mechanism 44 usefulness lifting units 49 make both sides' one lifting, revolve three-sixth turn with rotating part 50 simultaneously.
Mounting table 41, as Figure 12, Figure 16 and shown in Figure 17 has bottom mounting table 55 and top mounting table 56.Bottom mounting table 55 forms the tabular of the top ends 55a that has two distolateral angles of excision one, is installed on the rotating part 50.In addition, mounting table 56 also will form and have top ends 56a and become and bottom mounting table 55 same profiles.Be connected with bottom mounting table 55 by the slide block up and down 57 that is installed on four angles.Therefore, top mounting table 56 relative bottom mounting table 55 liftables.And then, in the central authorities of top mounting table 56, from top ends 56a to forming rectangular peristome 58 with the opposed side of this top ends 56a.
On the bottom mounting table 55 of the central authorities of peristome 58, set central mounting table 56b by not shown lifting mechanism.Central mounting table 56b is made as the height identical with top mounting table 56, just can and top mounting table 56 synchronization liftings.
On top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b, vacate predetermined distance along the length direction of peristome 58 head roll 40 is set.Wind along taking out of the S. A. B rotatably support that the vertical direction of direction (length direction of peristome 58) extends and head roll 40 with moving into, and rotate with not shown motor-driven.
On bottom mounting table 55, clip central mounting table 56b, the end as the first arm 42 of multi-joint arm is installed with rotating freely.At the other end of the first arm 42, the width that connects length ratio open portion 58 will be lacked first link 60 of some, on first link, an end of first bar-like member 61 is installed.The length of first bar-like member 61 and peristome 58 vertically approximately identical is installed on first link 60 vacating predetermined distance with the vertical vertical direction of peristome 58.First link 60 and first bar-like member 61 can be at the length directions of this peristome 58 in peristome 58 by means of the first arm 42, promptly move into to take out of direction and move.
In bottom mounting table 55, the end as second arm 43 of multi-joint arm is installed, it is rotated freely.The other end and above-mentioned same installation second link 62 and second bar-like member 63 at second arm 43.Second bar-like member 63 is in directly over first bar-like member 61.
During by the up and down mobile along the vertical direction top of slide block 57 mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b, have the top mounting table 56 of head roll 40 and top relative first bar- like member 61 and 63 liftings of second bar-like member of central mounting table 56b.In addition, first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63 can move taking out of direction with the first arm 42 and second arm 43.
The first arm 42, first link 60, first bar-like member 61, second arm 43, second link 62 and second bar-like member 63 constitute connecting mechanism 44.
In addition, in the present embodiment, cylinder 27 winds along to take out of the S. A. B supporting that the vertical direction of direction extends free to rotate with moving into of substrate A, by not shown motor-driven.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in figure 18,, set and be clipped in top, location mounting table 56 between first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63 as initial setting.In addition, when first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63 moved, win bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63 of central mounting table 56b lifting do not interfered.
The following describes the situation of substrate conveyance device 11 that constitutes with like this from line cage 10 conveyance substrate A to lining processor 7.
At first, as shown in figure 12, with lifting mechanism 30 retention wire cages 10.Vacate a plurality of substrate A of horizontal storage at interval along short transverse in the online cage 10.In the substrate support portion 2 in the online cage 10 of substrate A mounting.Behind the retention wire cage 10, make lifting mechanism 30 actions, line cage 10 is descended towards substrate support platform 25 by control part.Because substrate support platform 25 is configured to the framework 5b that line cage 10 bottom surfaces cooperate, do not interfere between 5c, so substrate support platform 25 inserts in the line cage 10 from each lower openings 4 of line cage 10.
Substrate support platform 25 is if insert in the line cage 10, be installed in substrate support platform 25 above each cylinder 27 relative rising.Then, line cage 10 is descended, the top of cylinder 27 contacts below the undermost substrate A that is positioned at line cage 10 and lifts substrate A, makes it break away from substrate support portion 2.Substrate A one breaks away from, and control part is just controlled lifting mechanism 30 and once stopped to descend.At this moment, as shown in figure 18, substrate A becomes the state that is positioned on the cylinder 27.
In addition, during substrate A breaks away from like this, as shown in figure 11, with motor 47 mobile station 46 is moved and make it, rely on rotating part 50 location simultaneously, so that top ends 55a, 56a and moving into takes out of mouth 3 is opposed in abutting connection with substrate support platform 25.
Then, after substrate A breaks away from, as shown in figure 19, by means of slide block 57 up and down top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b are risen, the top of head roll 40 is positioned at from the top of second bar-like member 63 outstanding.Then, the cylinder 27 of mounting table 35 and the head roll 40 of top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b are rotated in line cage 10 to exterior direction (move into and take out of direction).At this moment, two cylinders 27,40 are with same direction and the rotation of same speed.Therefore, two cylinders, 27,40 friction drags work to substrate A, and substrate A moves at the hand of rotation of two cylinders 27,40.Substrate A takes out of mouthfuls 3 and takes out of direction and move to moving into by moving in the line cage 10, is loaded on the head roll 40 of top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b.
Take out of operation according to above-mentioned moving into, when substrate A was positioned in top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b and goes up, top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b dropped to original position by slide block 57 up and down.Because top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b are if descend, relatively second bar-like member 63 is risen from peristome 58, so just shown in Figure 20 as 56b, substrate A transfer to second bar-like member 63 above.Control part continues to make lifting mechanism 30 actions that line cage 10 is descended once more.Thus, with next substrate A mounting to substrate support platform 25.
On second bar-like member 63 during mounting substrate A, lifting unit 49 rises and makes that second bar-like member 63, first bar-like member 61 and top mounting table 56 etc. are all to rise.Then, as shown in figure 21, on the cylinder 27 of substrate support platform 25, when height becomes sustained height above the head roll 40 of top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b, make to rise by lifting unit 49 to stop, make 27,40 rotations of two cylinders, take out of next substrate A then.That is, be loaded on top mounting table 56 and the central mounting table 56b.
Like this, moving into when taking out of operation, taking out of mouthful 3 lifting mounting tables 41, can take out of a plurality of substrate A by moving into relatively with lifting unit 49.
In addition, if next substrate A is loaded into top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b when going up, top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b descend from initial position by means of slide block 57 up and down again.Because top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b are if descend, then relatively first bar-like member 61 is risen from peristome 58, so as shown in figure 22, just substrate A move on to first bar-like member 61 above.
According to above-mentioned transfering process, behind mounting substrate A on first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63, start motor 47 and mobile station 46 is moved up to lining processor 7 along moving track 45.Behind this mobile process, make rotating part 50 Rotate 180 degree join operation to top ends 55a, 56a towards lining processor 7.Shake as Figure 12, Figure 16 and second arm 43 shown in Figure 17 of the vertical release of second link 62 along peristome 53.Therefore, as shown in figure 23, because release second bar-like member 63 forwardly, so the substrate A of mounting on second bar-like member 63 enters in the lining processor 7.The substrate A that enters is by for example lifting bar 64 receives and predetermined processing in addition in the lining processor 7.
In addition, second bar-like member 63 returns after the original position, makes all risings by lifting unit 49, releases first link 60 with the first arm 42 simultaneously, and as shown in figure 24, the substrate A that is loaded on first link 60 also can enter lining processor 7.
And then, opposite action according to above-mentioned handing-over the time, substrate A after mounting on first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63 is carried out predetermined processing with lining processor 7, on top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b, change in proper order simultaneously and carry, and be stored in the not shown storing containers of depositing the substrate A after predetermined processing finishes.
In addition, in the present embodiment, substrate conveyance device 11 is to take out of substrate A from line cage 10.Also can use line cage 10 as depositing the container that carries out the substrate A after the predetermined processing by lining processor 7, the substrate A after predetermined processing is finished moves in the line cage 10.In this case, the opposite action of taking out of also can be moved into substrate A.
In addition, during to lining processor 20, take out of two substrate A, on first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63, change simultaneously and carry and deliver to lining processor 20 from line cage 10 substrate A conveyance.Yet be not only limited to this.For example, also can use first bar-like member 61, also can be used as and use that to finish the reception of back substrate A special-purpose and use second bar-like member 63 in receiving predetermined processing from lining processor 20 as the handing-over special use that is used for substrate A is given lining processor 20.Like this, connecting mechanism 44 also can satisfy in good time purpose and uses first bar-like member 61 and second bar-like member 63.
As mentioned above, according to this substrate conveyance device 11 and substrate conveyance method,, just can take out of substrate A to top mounting table 56 from line cage 10 by means of the cylinder 27 of substrate support platform 25 and the head roll 40 of top mounting table 56 and central mounting table 56b.In addition, above-mentioned move into take out of operation after, by first bar-like member 61 of connection the first arm 42 and the transfering process of second bar-like member 63 that is connected second arm 43, on mounting to two bar- like member 61,63, pass through the mobile process conveyance simultaneously up to lining processor 7, then, deliver to lining processor 7 by the handing-over operation.
Like this, lift-launch is taken out of the mounting table 41 of substrate A and substrate A is passed the connecting mechanism 44 of lining processor 7 to mobile station 46, thereby can multi-functionally use, do not carry out the device of taking out of of moving into that existing substrate is moved into conveyance device etc. specially and do not need to be provided with in addition.So, can not need the unnecessary space that is provided with, effectively utilize little space, carry out moving into of substrate A and take out of and conveyance.
In addition, take out of mouthful 3 liftings, take out of a plurality of substrate A, so can raise the efficiency the shortening time because available lifting unit 49 is moved into mounting table 41 relatively.
