And a pair of swingable locking claws 45 which are connected and supported at the distal end of the link plate 41 and interfere with each other by engaging with the locking groove 13 of the container main body 1 and the container main body inserted into each link plate 41. A pair of coil springs 47 that cause the locking claw 45 to interfere with one locking groove 13 and an operation hole 48 that is perforated on the most distal end 43 side of each link plate 41 and into which an operation pin is inserted from the outside of the lid body. Configured.

各リンクプレート41は、例えば先端部が二股に分かれた略Y字形の板に形成され、棒形の中央部にはコイルバネ47用の筒体であるカラー42がスライド可能に嵌入されており、末端部と最末端部43とが表面カバー32の一対のガイド片37にスライド可能に挟持されるとともに、最末端部43には、表面カバー32の操作口33に対向する正面略半楕円形の操作孔48が穿孔される。   Each link plate 41 is formed, for example, in a substantially Y-shaped plate having a bifurcated tip, and a collar 42 that is a cylindrical body for the coil spring 47 is slidably fitted in the center of the rod. And the most distal end portion 43 are slidably sandwiched between a pair of guide pieces 37 of the surface cover 32, and the most distal end portion 43 has a front semi-elliptical operation facing the operation port 33 of the surface cover 32. Hole 48 is drilled.

リンクプレート41の末端部には、カラー42のスライドや脱落を規制する略U字形のアームであるリンクアーム44がピンを介し左右内外方向に揺動可能に嵌入軸支され、このリンクアーム44が筐体21の保持リブ22にピンを介し左右内外方向に揺動可能に軸支される。   A link arm 44, which is a substantially U-shaped arm that restricts the sliding and dropping off of the collar 42, is fitted and supported at the end of the link plate 41 so as to be swingable in the left / right / inside / outward direction via a pin. It is pivotally supported by the holding rib 22 of the housing 21 so as to be swingable in the left and right inner and outer directions via pins.

各係止爪45は、変形した略V字形に屈曲形成され、屈曲部が筐体21の支持リブ24にピンを介し揺動可能に軸支される。この係止爪45は、その一端部がリンクプレート41の二股の先端部間にピンを介し揺動可能に軸支され、二股に分岐した他端部の間には、容器本体1の係止溝13内に摺接する複数のローラ46がピンを介し回転可能に支持される。各ローラ46は、例えば容器本体1と同様の材料等を使用して筒形に成形される。   Each latching claw 45 is bent and formed into a deformed substantially V shape, and the bent portion is pivotally supported by the support rib 24 of the housing 21 via a pin so as to be swingable. One end of the locking claw 45 is pivotally supported via a pin between the bifurcated tip portions of the link plate 41, and the container main body 1 is latched between the other bifurcated other ends. A plurality of rollers 46 in sliding contact with the groove 13 are rotatably supported via pins. Each roller 46 is formed into a cylindrical shape using, for example, the same material as that of the container body 1.

各コイルバネ47は、リンクプレート41の中央部に嵌通されてリンクプレート41の幅広の先端部側とカラー42との間に介在し、カラー42をリンクアーム44に圧接するとともに、筐体21の溝孔23から係止爪45の他端部、すなわち複数のローラ46を外部に突出させる。   Each of the coil springs 47 is inserted into the center portion of the link plate 41 and interposed between the wide tip end side of the link plate 41 and the collar 42, presses the collar 42 against the link arm 44, and The other end portion of the locking claw 45, that is, the plurality of rollers 46 is protruded from the slot 23 to the outside.

各操作孔48は、基本的には正面略楕円形に形成され、その蓋体20の左右内方向側に位置する周縁部が上下方向に直線的な縦平坦部49に切り欠かれており、この縦平坦部49に操作ピンが蓋体20の取り外し時に接触する。   Each operation hole 48 is basically formed in a substantially elliptical shape on the front, and a peripheral edge portion located on the left and right inward side of the lid body 20 is notched into a vertical flat portion 49 that is linear in the vertical direction. The operation pin comes into contact with the vertical flat portion 49 when the lid 20 is removed.

操作ピンは、図示しないが、細長い円柱形のピン部と、このピン部に一体成形されて半径外方向に膨出する膨出部とを備え、自動あるいは手動により操作される。この操作ピンは、ピン部が操作口33を貫通してリンクプレート41の操作孔48に挿入され、膨出部が表面カバー32の操作口33に適切に接触・干渉して蓋体20を支持するよう機能する。   Although not shown, the operation pin includes an elongated cylindrical pin portion and a bulging portion that is integrally formed with the pin portion and bulges outward in the radial direction, and is operated automatically or manually. The operation pin is inserted into the operation hole 48 of the link plate 41 through the operation port 33, and the bulging portion appropriately contacts and interferes with the operation port 33 of the surface cover 32 to support the lid 20. To function.

上記構成において、容器本体1に半導体ウェーハWを収納する場合には、各支持体4の複数の短いティース5が半導体ウェーハWの周縁部側方を面接触により水平に支持するが、この際、ティース5とティース5との間の隙間6に半導体ウェーハWの周縁部側方が接触することがない。   In the above configuration, when the semiconductor wafer W is stored in the container main body 1, the plurality of short teeth 5 of each support 4 supports the peripheral side of the semiconductor wafer W horizontally by surface contact. The side edge of the semiconductor wafer W does not come into contact with the gap 6 between the teeth 5.

また、容器本体1の複数の取付孔14にインフォパッド17を選択的に挿入する場合には、選択した取付孔14にインフォパッド17の一対の係止片19を挿入して押圧すれば良い。
すると、取付孔14の縮径部16の裏面側周縁に一対の係止片19が撓みながら係止し、取付孔14の拡径部15にインフォパッド17の円柱部18が嵌合し、リムフランジ12の正面にインフォパッド17の正面部が面一に揃えられて整合する。
When the info pad 17 is selectively inserted into the plurality of mounting holes 14 of the container body 1, the pair of locking pieces 19 of the info pad 17 may be inserted and pressed into the selected mounting hole 14.
Then, a pair of locking pieces 19 are locked to the peripheral edge of the back surface side of the reduced diameter portion 16 of the mounting hole 14 while being bent, and the cylindrical portion 18 of the info pad 17 is fitted to the enlarged diameter portion 15 of the mounting hole 14. The front portion of the info pad 17 is flush with and aligned with the front surface of the flange 12.

これとは逆に、容器本体1の取付孔14からインフォパッド17を取り外す場合には、インフォパッド17の一対の係止片19を内方向に撓ませて縮径部16の裏面側周縁との係止を解除し、リムフランジ12の背面側から正面側にインフォパッド17を押圧すれば良い。   On the contrary, when the info pad 17 is removed from the mounting hole 14 of the container body 1, the pair of locking pieces 19 of the info pad 17 is bent inward so as to be connected to the rear surface side peripheral edge of the reduced diameter portion 16. It is only necessary to release the locking and press the infopad 17 from the back side to the front side of the rim flange 12.

また、半導体ウェーハWを収納した容器本体1の開口した正面部を蓋体20により閉じる場合には、容器本体1のリムフランジ12内に蓋体20を蓋体開閉装置により押圧して嵌合し、容器本体1の各係止溝13に蓋体20の溝孔23を対向させれば良い。   Further, when the opened front portion of the container body 1 containing the semiconductor wafer W is closed by the lid body 20, the lid body 20 is pressed and fitted into the rim flange 12 of the container body 1 by the lid body opening / closing device. The groove hole 23 of the lid 20 may be made to face each locking groove 13 of the container body 1.

すると、圧縮されていた各コイルバネ47の復元作用によりリンクプレート41が保持リブ22、ガイド片37、リンクアーム44に案内されつつ蓋体20の左右外方向に水平にスライドして係止爪45を蓋体20の表裏方向に揺動させ、この係止爪45の他端部が蓋体20の溝孔23から外部に弧を描きながら突出して回転可能な複数のローラ46を容器本体1の係止溝13に嵌入し、この複数のローラ46の嵌入により、容器本体1の正面部が蓋体20により強固に閉じられ、かつ気密性や密閉性が確保される。   Then, the link plate 41 is slid horizontally in the left and right outer directions of the lid body 20 while being guided by the holding rib 22, the guide piece 37, and the link arm 44 by the restoring action of each compressed coil spring 47, and the locking claw 45 is moved. A plurality of rollers 46 that are swung in the front and back direction of the lid 20 and projecting while the other end of the locking claw 45 arcs outwardly from the slot 23 of the lid 20 are arranged on the container body 1. By inserting the plurality of rollers 46 into the stop groove 13, the front portion of the container body 1 is firmly closed by the lid body 20, and airtightness and airtightness are ensured.

このように施錠機構40に負荷が作用しない場合には、容器本体1の各係止溝13内に揺動突出した係止爪45のローラ46が転がり接触可能に嵌入し、容器本体1の正面部が蓋体20により覆われることとなる。   When no load is applied to the locking mechanism 40 as described above, the rollers 46 of the locking claws 45 that swing and protrude into the respective locking grooves 13 of the container body 1 are fitted so as to be able to roll and come into contact with each other. The part is covered with the lid 20.

これに対し、半導体ウェーハWを収納した容器本体1の正面部から施錠状態の蓋体20を取り外す場合には、一対のリンクプレート41の操作孔48に操作ピンを蓋体20の操作口33を介し外部からそれぞれ挿入し、操作ピンを操作口33の拡幅部34から狭幅部35方向に動かすことにより、各リンクプレート41を蓋体20の左右内方向にスライドさせれば良い。   On the other hand, when removing the locked lid 20 from the front portion of the container main body 1 containing the semiconductor wafer W, the operation pins are inserted into the operation holes 48 of the pair of link plates 41 and the operation ports 33 of the lid 20 are connected. Each link plate 41 may be slid in the left-right inward direction of the lid body 20 by inserting the pin from the outside through moving the operation pin in the direction from the widened portion 34 to the narrow-width portion 35 of the operation port 33.

すると、各リンクプレート41がコイルバネ47を圧縮しながら蓋体20の左右内方向に水平にスライドし、係止爪45が弧を描きながら揺動してその露出した他端部、すなわち複数のローラ46を蓋体20の溝孔23内に退没させ、この係止爪45の他端部の退没により、容器本体1の係止溝13から複数のローラ46が外れて容器本体1から蓋体20を取り外すことが可能になる。   Then, each link plate 41 slides horizontally in the left-right inward direction of the cover body 20 while compressing the coil spring 47, and the locking claw 45 swings while drawing an arc to expose the other end, that is, a plurality of rollers. 46 is retracted into the slot 23 of the lid 20, and the other end of the locking claw 45 is retracted, so that the plurality of rollers 46 are removed from the locking groove 13 of the container body 1 and the lid is closed from the container body 1. The body 20 can be removed.

上記構成によれば、各支持体4が単に長い板ではなく、複数の短いティース5からなるので、支持体4の成形性の著しい向上を図ることができる。また、ティース5とティース5との間の隙間6に半導体ウェーハWの周縁部側方が何ら接触することがないので、半導体ウェーハWと支持体4との接触領域を減少させ、パーティクルの発生をきわめて有効に防ぐことができる。また、支持体4を含む容器本体1を成形する金型の微調整の容易化が大いに期待できる。   According to the said structure, since each support body 4 consists of several short teeth 5 instead of only a long board, the remarkable improvement of the moldability of the support body 4 can be aimed at. In addition, since the side of the periphery of the semiconductor wafer W does not come into contact with the gap 6 between the teeth 5 and 5, the contact area between the semiconductor wafer W and the support 4 is reduced, and the generation of particles is reduced. It can be prevented very effectively. In addition, facilitation of fine adjustment of a mold for molding the container body 1 including the support 4 can be greatly expected.

また、取付孔14にザグリを形成するので、インフォパッド17の正面部を、リムフランジ12の正面に面一に揃えたり、あるいは取付孔14内に埋没させることができ、取付孔14に挿入されたインフォパッド17の正面がリムフランジ12の正面から前方に突出することがない。したがって、インフォパッド17の正面の突出部分が障害物となることがないので、ロードポート装置2の出し入れ口3に容器本体1の正面部やリムフランジ12が適切に接触し、半導体製造作業の円滑化、迅速化、容易化を図ることが可能になる。   Further, since the counterbore is formed in the mounting hole 14, the front portion of the info pad 17 can be flush with the front surface of the rim flange 12 or can be buried in the mounting hole 14 and inserted into the mounting hole 14. The front surface of the info pad 17 does not protrude forward from the front surface of the rim flange 12. Accordingly, since the protruding portion of the front surface of the info pad 17 does not become an obstacle, the front portion of the container body 1 and the rim flange 12 are appropriately in contact with the loading / unloading port 3 of the load port device 2 to facilitate the semiconductor manufacturing work. , Speeding up, and facilitating.

また、容器本体1から蓋体20を取り外さない施錠機構40の非操作時には、容器本体1の係止溝13に係止爪45がコイルバネ47により絶えず嵌入して容器本体1の正面部やリムフランジ12を蓋体20により強固に閉じるので、容器本体1から蓋体20が外れることが全くなく、蓋体20の施錠や開閉に支障を来たすおそれがない。さらに、容器本体1の係止溝13に係止爪45が直接嵌入するのではなく、係止爪45の回転可能な複数のローラ46が嵌入して摺接するので、容器本体1と係止爪45との擦れによりパーティクルが発生して半導体ウェーハWを汚染させるおそれがない。   Further, when the locking mechanism 40 that does not remove the lid 20 from the container body 1 is not operated, the locking claw 45 is continuously fitted into the locking groove 13 of the container body 1 by the coil spring 47 so that the front portion of the container body 1 and the rim flange are fitted. 12 is firmly closed by the lid 20, the lid 20 is never detached from the container body 1, and there is no risk of hindering the locking or opening / closing of the lid 20. Further, the locking claw 45 is not directly inserted into the locking groove 13 of the container body 1, but a plurality of rotatable rollers 46 of the locking claw 45 are inserted and slidably contacted, so that the container body 1 and the locking claw There is no possibility that particles are generated by rubbing with 45 and the semiconductor wafer W is contaminated.

次に、図11、図12は本発明の第2の実施形態を示すもので、この場合には、容器本体1Aを、25枚あるいは26枚の半導体ウェーハWを収納する大型のフロントオープンボックスタイプに射出成形し、この容器本体1Aの各支持体4を、容器本体1Aの前後方向に分割して半導体ウェーハWの周縁部側方を水平に支持する複数のティース5を形成し、前後に並ぶティース5とティース5との間には、半導体ウェーハWに非接触の隙間6を区画形成するようにしている。その他の部分については、上記実施形態と略同様であるので説明を省略する。   Next, FIGS. 11 and 12 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the container main body 1A is a large front open box type housing 25 or 26 semiconductor wafers W. FIG. The support body 4 of the container main body 1A is divided into the front and rear directions of the container main body 1A to form a plurality of teeth 5 that horizontally support the side of the peripheral edge of the semiconductor wafer W. Between the teeth 5 and the teeth 5, a non-contact gap 6 is defined in the semiconductor wafer W. The other parts are substantially the same as those in the above embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

It is clear that it can enhance sex.

次に、図13は本発明の第3の実施形態を示すもので、この場合には、複数のティース5中、容器本体1の最も正面部側に位置するティース5を、換言すれば、容器本体1の最前部側に位置するティース5を、容器本体1の内部側方から内方向に突出する平坦な板5aと、この板5a上に突出形成されて半導体ウェーハWを点接触により支持する断面略円形あるいは略半楕円形のリブ5bとから一体形成するようにしている。その他の部分については、上記実施形態と略同様であるので説明を省略する。   Next, FIG. 13 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this case, among the plurality of teeth 5, the teeth 5 located on the most front side of the container main body 1, in other words, containers The teeth 5 located on the foremost side of the main body 1 are formed so as to protrude inward from the inner side of the container main body 1 and are projected on the plate 5a to support the semiconductor wafer W by point contact. The rib 5b having a substantially circular or semi-elliptical cross section is integrally formed. The other parts are substantially the same as those in the above embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

本実施形態においても上記実施形態と同様の作用効果が期待でき、しかも、板5a上にリブ5bを一体成形するので、半導体ウェーハWのクロススロットを有効に防止することができるのは明らかである。   In this embodiment, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be expected, and the rib 5b is integrally formed on the plate 5a, so that it is clear that the cross slot of the semiconductor wafer W can be effectively prevented. .

なお、上記実施形態における複数のティース5は、全て同じ形に形成しても良いが、一部を異なる形に形成しても良い。また、1段目のティース5と2段目のティース5とは、上下方向の同じ箇所に位置しても良いし、そうでなくても良い。例えば、1、2段目のティース5を千鳥形に配列しても良い。さらに、蓋体20は、透明、不透明、半透明等を問うものではない。   In addition, although the several teeth 5 in the said embodiment may all be formed in the same shape, you may form a part in a different shape. The first-stage teeth 5 and the second-stage teeth 5 may or may not be located at the same position in the vertical direction. For example, the first and second teeth 5 may be arranged in a staggered pattern. Further, the lid 20 does not ask for transparency, opaqueness, translucency, or the like.
