- the substrate is accommodated in the substrate case in a vertical position where the front and back surfaces are vertical.
- substrate case is erected so that a board
- the casters are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the case, which is the lower end at this time (see Patent Document 1).
- the substrate case in which the substrate is accommodated is packaged by a case cover made of a fabric that suppresses dust generation used in cleanware in an intermediate clean room called a pass box.

前記キャスター挿通孔の開口縁は、当該キャスター挿通孔を通る前記キャスター構造の通過断面に応じて形状寸法が変化自在に構成されており、

前記基板ケースは、前記キャスターをそれぞれ含み前記下部ケースから下方に突出して設けられた複数のキャスター構造を有し、
前記ケースカバーは、
前記下部ケースにおける前記複数のキャスター構造の配設位置に合わせて、各前記キャスター構造を上下に挿通させる複数のキャスター挿通孔が形成されるとともに、
前記キャスター挿通孔の開口縁は、当該キャスター挿通孔を通る前記キャスター構造の通過断面に応じて形状寸法が変化自在に構成されており、
前記キャスター挿通孔に前記キャスター構造を通して前記車輪をカバー外方に露出させたときに、前記開口縁が前記キャスター構造の通過断面に倣って変化し、前記キャスター構造と前記キャスター挿通孔との間に生じ得る隙間を閉塞するように構成されているケースカバーであり、
前記基板運搬ケースは、
下面側にキャスターが設けられ前記基板ケースを収容する運搬ケース本体部と、前記運搬ケース本体部に収容された前記基板ケースを覆って前記運搬ケース本体部の上面側に取り付けられる蓋部材とを有し、
前記運搬ケース本体部と前記キャスターとの間に、運搬時に外部から前記キャスターに作用する衝撃を吸収する緩衝部材が設けられた基板運搬ケースである。
例示する基板ケース1は、大きさが1800×1600×t17mm(対角寸法が約2.4m)、質量が約110kgの大型のガラス基板2を、基板の表面及び裏面が水平となる横置き姿勢でケース内部に収容し、収容されたガラス基板2を保護し、運搬するためのケースである。基板ケース1は、概観的には、前後方向及び左右方向の長さに比べて上下方向の厚さが薄い箱状であり、上下方向の略中間部で分離される上部ケースユニット10と下部ケースユニット20とを主体として構成される。
基板ケース1は、ガラス基板2を、基板の表面及び裏面が水平となる横置き姿勢でケース内部に収容する。基板ケース(基板ケース本体部)の底面は2030×1810mmと広く、短辺方向でも長さが1810mmほどある。そのため、ガラス基板2を縦置き姿勢で収容した場合(底面は2030×250mm)のように、静的な転倒角度が問題となるようなおそれは殆どない(図27及びその関連説明を参照)。そこで、底面にキャスター30を有する基板ケース1について、外力が作用した場合の転倒安定性を考慮して、キャスター30の配設位置条件を検討する。
基板ケース1の端部に下方に押し下げる外力が作用した場合の力学的な関係を説明するための説明図を図5に示す。図5において、キャスター30は、質量Wの基板ケース1の重心BCの位置から水平方向左右に距離rだけ離れた位置に設けられ、外力Fは、重心位置から左方に距離Rだけ離れたケース端部に下向きに作用している。このとき、基板ケース1には、外力Fにより左側のキャスター30を中心として、基板ケース1を反時計回りに回転させる(基板ケース1の右端側を浮き上がらせる)モーメントが発生する。
基板ケース1の端部に上方に持ち上げる外力が作用した場合の力学的な関係を説明するための説明図を図6に示す。(1)の場合と同様にキャスター30は質量Wの基板ケース1の重心BCの位置から水平方向左右に距離rだけ離れた位置に設けられるものとし、外力Fは重心位置から左方に距離Rだけ離れたケース端部に上向きに作用するものとする。このとき、基板ケース1には、外力Fにより右側のキャスター30を中心として、基板ケース1を時計回りに回転させる(図における左端側を浮き上がらせる)モーメントが発生する。
基板ケース1の端部に水平方向に衝撃的な外力が作用した場合の力学的な関係を説明するための説明図を図7(a)に示す。(1)及び(2)の場合と同様に、キャスター30は質量Wの基板ケース1の重心BCから水平方向左右に距離rだけ離れた位置に設けられるものとし、衝撃的な外力(すなわち加速度)αは重心位置から右方に距離Rだけ離れたケース端部に左向きに作用するものとする。また、重心BCの高さ位置からキャスター30における車輪35の接地点35pまでの鉛直方向の高さをhとする。
基板ケース1には、質量が110kgもあるガラス基板2が収容される。そのため、基板ケース1は、ガラス基板2を収納するときに変形が小さく、またガラス基板2が収容された状態において基板ケース1全体の変形が小さいことが求められる。そのため、キャスター30の配設位置は、ガラス基板2の収納作業時に変形が小さいこと、及び、ガラス基板2が収容された状態でケース全体の変形が小さいことの両者を満たすように設定される。
平坦な床面上に配置された下部ケースユニット20にガラス基板2を収納する場合を考える。図3を参照して説明したように、下部ケースユニット20の下部ボックス部材22の内部には、底板から上方に突出して基板支持部23(対角支持部23a、長辺支持部23b、短辺支持部23c)が設けられており、ガラス基板2は基板支持部23により前後左右の縁部が板厚方向に支持された状態で下部ケースユニット20に収納される。
ガラス基板2が収容された基板ケース1は、下部ケースユニット20の下面側に設けられた4つのキャスター30により全質量が支持される。換言すれば、下部ケースユニット20にはガラス基板2及び上部ケースユニット10の荷重が作用し、4カ所のキャスター配設位置で全質量が支持される。そして、このような荷重が作用した状態で、基板ケース1全体の変形が小さいこと、より端的には下部ケースユニット20の変形が小さいことが求められる。ガラス基板2及び上部ケースユニット10の荷重は、下部ケースユニット20全体に等分布荷重で作用するものとし、下部ケースユニット20の強度は長辺方向及び短辺方向ともに均一であるとする。
以上のように概要構成される基板ケース1に対して、この基板ケース1を包装するケースカバー5は以下のように構成される。ケースカバー5を模式的に表した外観斜視図を図12に示す。例示するケースカバー5は、基板ケース本体部の上半分を上方から覆う上カバー部51と、基板ケース本体部の下半分を下方から覆う下カバー部52と、上カバー部51と下カバー部52とを開閉可能に連結して閉止状態で基板ケース本体部全体を包む一体の袋状にする連結構造53とを主体として構成される。
基板運搬ケース7は、図18に示すように基板ケース1を収容する運搬ケース本体部71と、運搬ケース本体部71に収容された基板ケース1を覆って運搬ケース本体部71の上面側に取り付けられる蓋部材72とを主体として構成される。運搬ケース本体部71及び蓋部材72は、ともに、各部材の骨格を形成する金属製のフレームと、金属フレームに固定されて外殻をなす金属薄板製の面材とからなり、内部に格納された基板ケース1に異物が衝突したり無理な外力が直接作用したりしないようになっている。運搬ケース本体部71の下部には、フォークリフトの左右の爪を挿通させるフォーク挿入部73が前後に延びて形成され、運搬ケース本体部71の下面側には、前後左右の4カ所にキャスター75が設けられている。
fn=1/2π×(k/m)1/2・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・(1)
k=EA/t・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・(2)
式中のmは防振ゴムに作用する物体の質量(荷重)、Eは防振ゴムのヤング率、Aは受圧面積であり本構成例においてb×b、tは防振ゴムの厚さである。
Tr=|1/(1-u2)|・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・(3)
(3)式において、uは振動数比であり、u=f/fnである。(3)式の関係を図23に示す。(3)式及び図23によって示される関係から明らかなとおり、振動伝達率Tr≦1とするためには、振動数比u≧√2以上であることを要し、外来振動の周波数fを25Hzとすると、u=(25/fn)≧√2より、fn≦17.7Hzとなる。よって、外来振動の周波数f=25Hzにおいて振動伝達率Trが1以下とするためには、緩衝部材76の共振周波数fnは17.7Hz以下であることが好ましい。なお、外来振動の周波数fの下限値が25Hzよりも大きいことが見込まれる場合は、u=(f/fn)≧√2の関係より、緩衝部材76の共振周波数fnを17.7Hzよりも大きな値とすることが可能である。
