The piezo ceramic assembly may include a plurality of stacked piezo ceramic unit assemblies, a single piezo ceramic unit assembly being illustrated in fig. 3 as an example. Referring to fig. 3, each of the piezoelectric ceramic unit components may include a piezoelectric ceramic plate 1131, a first conductive plate 1132 and a second conductive plate 1133 respectively disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 1131, and a power module 31 connected to both ends of the first conductive plate 1132 and the second conductive plate 1133.

Wherein, a 'and D ″ (B' and C ') are arranged in the X-axis direction, and a' and B ″ (D 'and C') are arranged in the Y-axis direction.

In some embodiments, the closed quadrangle formed by the second connection assemblies of the 4 connection members and the 4 connection position points of the 4 regions a ', B', C ', and D' may be square, for example, may be square or rectangular. Therefore, the stress of the 4 second connecting components is relatively balanced; meanwhile, the bearing objects can be orderly arranged on the surface of the bearing part, and the conveying path of the subsequent conveying part is simpler when the bearing objects are conveyed. In practice, these four regions may be four corner regions of the surface of the load bearing member, or may be non-corner regions.

The present disclosure provides a horizontal adjustment system of a suspension buffer, referring to fig. 6, including a checking unit 41 and the suspension buffer in any of the embodiments. Wherein:

and the checking part 41 is arranged on the bearing part 12 and is used for measuring the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device. In one embodiment, the verification component 41 also stores the measured level value.

The controller 13 is also used for acquiring a level value; determining the amount of expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction component 113 in each connecting part 11 to be adjusted based on the relationship between the level value and the preset level reference value; based on the amount of expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction components 113 to be adjusted in each connection part 11, an electric signal is sent to the corresponding expansion and contraction component 113, and the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device is adjusted.

In implementation, the carrying component 12 may include at least one shelf 121, and the checking component 41 as a carried object may be located in the shelf 121. Although the checking component has a weight, the influence on the level of the suspension type temporary storage device is small and can be ignored, and the influence of the self-weight of the checking component on the level value can also be calibrated by initializing the subsequent setting of the level measurement unit.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the checking unit may automatically measure the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device and store the measured level value, and the controller may obtain the level value and adjust the length of each connecting unit based on the relationship between the level value and a preset level reference value, so as to adjust the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device. That is, when the level value measured by the checking component is not within the preset level reference value range, the level adjusting system can adjust the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device to be within the preset level reference value range. Therefore, the automatic measurement and check of the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device can be realized at the same time, so that the labor is saved, the working efficiency is improved, the human error can be reduced, and the accuracy of horizontal value adjustment is improved.

It will be appreciated that the calibration unit can always be placed on the suspension buffer to be adjusted, so that the level of the suspension buffer is always measured. In some embodiments, the checking part may only measure but not store the level value and transmit the measured level value to the controller, so the checking part may only include the level measuring unit. In other embodiments, the checking unit may further have a data storage function, and when implemented, may store the level value for a preset number of times, or store the level value in a period, or store the level value for a long time. Therefore, the check section may include a storage unit in addition to the level measurement unit.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the checking part 41 includes a part body 411, a leveling unit 412, a storage unit 413, and a load sensing unit 414. Wherein:

the level measurement unit 412 is disposed in the component body 411 and is used for measuring a level value of the suspension type temporary storage device.

And a storage unit 413, disposed in the component body 411, and electrically connected to the leveling unit 412 and the load sensing unit 414, for storing a level value measured by the leveling unit 412 when the load sensing unit 414 detects that the component body 411 or the verification component 41 is placed on the load-bearing member.

And a load sensing unit 414 embedded in the surface of the part body 411 facing the bearing member for detecting whether the part body 411 or the check part 41 is placed on the bearing member of the suspension buffer.

In one embodiment, the leveling unit 412 may be disposed on a surface of the component body 411 facing away from the load-bearing component, i.e., an inner bottom surface.

In practice, the load sensing unit 414 may be embedded on the bottom surface of the component body 411, and the load sensing unit 414 is electrically connected to the storage unit 413. After the checking part 41 is carried to the load bearing member, the load sensing unit 414 is triggered due to the influence of the weight of the checking part 41 or the part body 411 itself. When the load sensing unit 414 is triggered, the level value of the suspended register measured by the level measuring unit 412 is stored in the storage unit 413.

In practice, the leveling unit may be a leveling instrument, a level gauge, or the like, which can be used to measure an inclination angle with respect to a horizontal position, flatness and straightness of a guide rail of a machine tool type device, a horizontal position and a vertical position of a device mounting, or the like, and may be various kinds of measuring devices capable of realizing the above-described functions.

The measured horizontal value may be an inclination angle that characterizes a plane in which the load bearing member is located, i.e., a horizontal deviation of the plane in which the load bearing member is located. Wherein, the inclination angle and the telescopic amount of the telescopic assembly to be adjusted meet a preset relationship. Based on the preset relation and the measured inclination angle, the target telescopic assembly can be positioned, and the telescopic amount to be adjusted of the target telescopic assembly is calculated.

In one embodiment, the load cell may be a pressure load cell. The component body can be any cavity capable of accommodating the level measurement unit, the storage unit and the load sensing unit; for example, the part body may be a FOUP in the AMHS, that is, the verification part may be formed after a level measurement unit such as a level gauge, a load sensing unit such as a pressure load sensor, and a memory unit are mounted in the FOUP in the AMHS.

It will be appreciated that the collation assembly may be carried by a handling assembly, such as a crown block or robotic arm, to the staging area to be conditioned. The level value measured by the checking component is not the level value of the suspension buffer device to be adjusted during the transportation process, but the level value of the checking component itself during the transportation process. Therefore, it is necessary to send the level value to the controller after determining that the check component is placed in the scratch pad to be adjusted. The checking unit may therefore also comprise a load-sensing unit for determining whether the checking unit is placed in the suspension buffer to be adjusted. The leveling unit transfers the measured level value to the memory unit only when the load-sensing unit detects that the calibration component is placed on the carrier element of the suspension buffer (to be adjusted), i.e. when the calibration component is transported into the suspension buffer or when there is already a calibration component in the suspension buffer. In this way, the memory unit can be reduced from storing useless data.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7 and 8 simultaneously, the leveling system further comprises:

a carrying member 51 for carrying the check member 41 into the suspension buffer;

the controller 13 is further configured to control the conveying unit 51 to convey the verification unit 41 to the ceiling-mounted temporary storage device.

In some embodiments, the controller 13 may send a transport instruction to the transport member 51, the transport instruction being used to control the transport member 51 to transport the collation member 41 into the scratch pad.

In some embodiments, the handling member may be a crown block or a robot arm, and the handling member 51 shown in fig. 8 is a crown block. The controller 13 can directly control the overhead travelling crane to transport the verification component 41 to the suspended temporary storage device. The controller 13 may obtain a level value of the suspension buffer from the storage unit 413, determine a stretching amount to be adjusted of the stretching assembly in each connecting member based on a relationship between the level value and a preset level reference value, send an electrical signal to the corresponding stretching assembly based on the stretching amount to be adjusted of the stretching assembly in each connecting member, and adjust the level value of the suspension buffer. Therefore, the checking component is not required to be arranged in the shed position of the suspension type temporary storage device before the measurement and adjustment of the horizontal value, and the normal use of the suspension type temporary storage device cannot be influenced.

In other embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 8, the handling member 51 may comprise a drive unit 511 and a control unit 512, wherein:

a control unit 512 for sending a carrying instruction to the driving unit 511 and acquiring a level value from the storage unit when the load sensing unit detects that the part body or the check part is placed on the carrier;

the driving unit 511 is configured to convey the check component 41 into the ceiling-mounted buffer in response to the conveying instruction sent by the control unit 512.

It is understood that the handling member may have a control unit independent of the controller, which may send handling instructions to the drive unit. When the carrying member has an independent control unit, the control unit is required to transmit the level value measured by the level measuring unit to the controller so that the controller analyzes the level value. In practice, a receiver and a network switch may be provided between the control unit and the controller. Therefore, the interference to the controller can be reduced, and the running speed of the controller can be improved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the level adjustment system further comprises: a receiver 61 and a network switch 71; wherein:

a receiver 61 for receiving the level value sent by the control unit 512 and transmitting the level value to the network switch 71; a network switch 71 for transmitting the level value transmitted by the receiver 61 to the controller 13.

In practice, the receiver may transmit the level value to the network switch by wireless transmission or by wired transmission. The Wireless transmission may be Wireless local area network (WiFi) transmission or bluetooth transmission. When the load sensing unit detects that the checking component is placed on the bearing component after the horizontal measuring unit in the checking component measures the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device, the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device measured by the horizontal measuring unit is stored in the storage unit; the control unit obtains the level value from the storage unit, then the control unit transmits the level value to the receiver, and after the receiver received the level value, the level value is transmitted to the network switch through WiFi or bluetooth, and finally the level value can be transmitted to the controller through WiFi or bluetooth.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the level adjustment system further comprises: and a power supply unit 31 electrically connected to the controller 13 for applying a voltage to the telescopic unit 113.

In practice, the power supply module may also supply power to various electrical components such as a controller and a control unit so that the controller, the control unit and the electrical components operate normally.

In some embodiments, the level adjustment system may further include a power module for supplying power to the power consuming components to enable the components to operate normally.

In some embodiments, the controller 13 is further configured to send a control signal to the power supply assembly 31, the control signal being configured to control the power supply assembly 31 to apply a voltage to the telescopic assembly 113; a power supply assembly 31 for applying a voltage to the telescopic assembly 113 in response to a control signal.

In practice, there may be a case where the voltage applied by the power supply module does not reach the voltage required by the telescopic module, and therefore the level adjustment system may further include: referring to fig. 11, a gain block 81 is electrically connected to the power supply block 31 and the expansion block, and is used for amplifying the voltage output by the power supply block to the voltage required by the expansion block.

The operation of the level adjustment system of the suspension buffer according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to fig. 12. Firstly, an OHB to be checked is determined, the carrying part 51 carries the checking part 41 to the OHB to be checked, and a horizontal measuring unit in the checking part 41 measures a horizontal value; when the load sensing unit 414 detects that the check part is placed on the carrier part in the suspension buffer, the leveling unit stores the measured data in the storage unit. The storage unit sends the level value to the control unit, which in turn is transmitted via the receiver 61, the network switch 71 to the controller 13. The controller 13 determines the amount of expansion and contraction to be adjusted of the piezoelectric ceramic components in each connecting part based on the relationship between the level value and a preset level reference value; a control signal is sent to the corresponding power supply module 31 based on the amount of expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric ceramic module in each connecting module to be adjusted, the power supply module 31 applies a voltage to the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic module in response to the control signal, and the gain module 81 amplifies the voltage output from the power supply module 31 to a voltage required by the piezoelectric ceramic module. After the power supply assembly 31 applies a voltage to the piezo ceramic assembly, the piezo ceramic assembly deforms to adjust the length of each of the connecting members, thereby adjusting the level of the suspension register.

After the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device is adjusted, the actions are repeated until the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device meets a preset level reference value.

In practice, for example, referring to fig. 10, for ease of understanding, 4 connecting members are respectively denoted as 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, wherein 11a and 11b (11 c and 11 d) are aligned in the Y-axis direction, and 11b and 11c (11 a and 11 d) are aligned in the X-axis direction. According to the measured horizontal value, the inclination angle of the plane where the bearing part is located can be obtained, whether the plane where the bearing part is located rotates on the X axis or the Y axis or not can be judged, and if the plane where the bearing part is located rotates along the Y axis, the horizontal value can be adjusted by adjusting the stretching and retracting of the (11 a and 11 b) and/or the (11 c and 11 d). If the plane in which the carrier lies is rotated along the X-axis, the level can be adjusted by adjusting the extension and retraction of (11 a and 11 d), and/or (11 c and 11 b). Of course, it is also possible to determine the telescopic assembly in any one of the connecting members as the target telescopic assembly to be adjusted, and then determine the telescopic amount to be adjusted. The above-mentioned adjusting methods can be adjusted accordingly until the level value is within the range of the preset level reference value.

The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a horizontal adjustment system for a suspension type temporary storage device, including a distance sensing unit and the suspension type temporary storage device in any of the embodiments. Wherein:

the controller is also used for acquiring the length value of each connecting part; determining the expansion amount to be adjusted of the expansion assembly in each connecting part based on the relation between the length value of each connecting part and a preset length reference value; and sending an electric signal to the corresponding telescopic assembly based on the telescopic amount to be adjusted of the telescopic assembly in each connecting part so as to adjust the length of each connecting part in the suspension type temporary storage device, and finally enabling the bearing part in the suspension type temporary storage device to be in a horizontal state.

In practice, the distance sensing unit may be an optical distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, or the like.

And the distance sensing unit is arranged on the bearing part and used for measuring the length value of each connecting part. When the suspension type temporary storage device is implemented, the suspension type temporary storage device can comprise 4 connecting components, the surface, facing the mounting surface, of the bearing component comprises 4 areas, the second connecting components in the 4 connecting components are respectively connected with the 4 areas, and a closed quadrangle formed by the 4 connecting position points is square. In this case, the distance sensing unit may be provided at the connection location point.

The operation of the level adjustment system of the suspension buffer in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below. First, the distance sensing unit measures length values of the first to fourth link parts as a, b, c and d meters (m), respectively, and if the preset length reference value can be a range [ l [ ] ₁ -ξ, l ₁ +ξ]. Finally connect four to each otherThe length value of the connecting part is adjusted to be within a preset length reference value range. Wherein l ₁ Denotes the center value of the range,/ ₁ ξ denotes the lower limit of the range,/ ₁ + ξ represents the upper limit of the range. For example, [ l ₁ -ξ, l ₁ +ξ]May be [0.520-0.0005, 0.520+0.0005 ]]I.e. l ₁ The value is 0.520, and xi is 0.0005. In this embodiment, the horizontal value can be understood as an index (a, b, c, d) representing the length of the four connecting members.

Secondly, the controller determines the difference Δ between the length value of each link and a preset reference length value ₁ 、△ ₂ 、△ ₃ And Δ ₄ Based on the difference Δ between the length value of each connection part and a predetermined length reference value ₁ 、△ ₂ 、△ ₃ And Δ ₄ Determining the difference corresponding to each connecting part as the expansion amount to be adjusted of the expansion assembly in the corresponding connecting part, i.e. the expansion amount to be adjusted of the expansion assembly in the four connecting parts can be expressed as an array [. DELTA ] ₁ , △ ₂ , △ ₃ , △ ₄ ]. And then the controller sends an electric signal to the corresponding telescopic assembly based on the to-be-adjusted telescopic amount of the telescopic assembly in each connecting part so as to adjust the length of each connecting part in the suspension type temporary storage device.

The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a horizontal adjustment method of a suspension type temporary storage device, where the following cyclic steps are performed at least once on the suspension type temporary storage device to be adjusted until a length value of each connection component in the adjusted suspension type temporary storage device is within a preset length reference value range, that is, until a load-bearing component in the adjusted suspension type temporary storage device is in a horizontal state:

step S11, obtaining the measured length value of each connecting part;

step S12, determining the expansion amount to be adjusted of the expansion component in each connecting part based on the relation between the length value of each connecting part and the preset length reference value;

step S13, sending an electrical signal to the corresponding telescoping assembly based on the telescoping amount to be adjusted of the telescoping assembly in each connecting member, so as to adjust the length of each connecting member in the suspension type temporary storage device.

In practice, for example, referring to fig. 10, for ease of understanding, 4 connecting members are respectively denoted as 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, wherein 11a and 11b (11 c and 11 d) are aligned in the Y-axis direction, and 11b and 11c (11 a and 11 d) are aligned in the X-axis direction. When the connecting

parts

11a and 11b are longer, but the connecting

parts

11c and 11d are shorter, that is, the plane where the bearing part is located rotates along the Y axis, the length value of each connecting part can be adjusted accordingly (i.e., the telescopic assemblies in the connecting

parts

11a, 11b, 11d, and 11c are determined as target telescopic assemblies to be adjusted) according to the relationship between the length value of each connecting part and the preset length reference value, until the length value of each connecting part meets the preset length reference value or is within the preset length reference value range; it is also possible to determine the telescopic assembly of the connecting

members

11a and 11b as the target telescopic assembly to be adjusted, which is the difference in length between the connecting

members

11a and 11b and the connecting

members

11d and 11c, respectively, that is, the shorter the length of the connecting

members

11a and 11b needs to be adjusted. It is needless to say that the telescopic assemblies in the connecting

members

11c and 11d may be determined as target telescopic assemblies to be adjusted, and the length of the connecting

members

11c and 11d may be adjusted to be longer, so that the length of each connecting member in the suspension buffer is within the preset length reference value, so that the carrying member in the suspension buffer is in a horizontal state.

Similarly, when the connecting

members

11b and 11c are longer and the connecting

members

11a and 11d are shorter, that is, the plane on which the bearing member is located rotates along the X-axis, the length of each connecting member may be adjusted accordingly (i.e., the telescopic assemblies in the connecting

members

11a, 11b, 11d, and 11c are determined as the target telescopic assemblies to be adjusted) according to the relationship between the length of each connecting member and the preset length reference value, until the length of each connecting member meets the preset length reference value or is within the preset length reference value range; it is also possible to determine the telescopic assembly of the connecting

members

11b and 11c as the target telescopic assembly to be adjusted, which is the difference in length between the connecting

members

11a and 11d and the connecting

members

11b and 11c, respectively, that is, the shorter the length of the connecting

members

11b and 11c needs to be adjusted. It is needless to say that the telescopic assemblies in the connecting

members

11a and 11d may be determined as target telescopic assemblies to be adjusted, and the length of the connecting

members

11a and 11d may be adjusted to be longer, so that the length of each connecting member in the suspension buffer is within the preset length reference value, so that the carrying member in the suspension buffer is in a horizontal state. That is, it is possible to determine the telescopic assembly in any one of the connection members as a target telescopic assembly to be adjusted, and then determine the amount of telescopic adjustment to be made.

Based on the level adjustment system of the suspension type temporary storage device provided in fig. 10 and 11, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a level adjustment method of the suspension type temporary storage device, which is implemented by using the level adjustment system of the suspension type temporary storage device in any of the embodiments described above, with reference to fig. 13, including: the following cyclic steps are executed at least once on the suspension type temporary storage device to be adjusted until the level value of the adjusted suspension type temporary storage device is within the range of the preset level reference value:

step S301, acquiring a measured horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device;

here, the level value is measured by a level cell in the check section.

Step S302, determining the expansion amount to be adjusted of each expansion component in the horizontal adjustment system based on the relation between the horizontal value and a preset horizontal reference value;

step S303, based on the expansion amount to be adjusted of each expansion assembly, sending an electric signal to the corresponding expansion assembly, and adjusting the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device by adjusting the length of the expansion assembly.

It is understood that, when the steps S301 to S303 are performed, the checking parts are already placed on the carrying parts in the suspension buffer in the leveling system, so that the handling parts are not required to handle the checking parts to the suspension buffer.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by repeatedly performing steps S301 to S303, the controller may compare the horizontal value with the preset horizontal reference value, determine the expansion amount to be adjusted of each expansion component in the suspension type temporary storage device, and then adjust the length of the expansion component, so that the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device satisfies the preset horizontal reference value. Therefore, not only can closed-loop control be realized, but also human errors can be reduced, and the adjustment accuracy is improved; the problems that the production progress is influenced due to operation error reporting caused by the fact that the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device does not meet the preset horizontal reference value can be solved; in addition, the labor can be saved, and the operation efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, step S302 may include: and determining a target telescopic assembly to be adjusted and a telescopic amount to be adjusted of the target telescopic assembly from a plurality of telescopic assemblies in the horizontal adjusting system based on the relation between the horizontal value and a preset horizontal reference value. In this manner, the target retraction assembly to be adjusted may be quickly and accurately determined.

In step S303, based on the amount of expansion to be adjusted of each expansion assembly, an electrical signal is sent to the corresponding expansion assembly, and the length of the corresponding connection member is adjusted by adjusting the length of the expansion assembly, thereby adjusting the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 14, the method of leveling the overhead working buffer further comprises:

in step S304, a queue of the suspended temporary storage device to be adjusted is obtained.

In practice, each of the suspension buffers to be adjusted is arranged in sequence to form a queue of suspension buffers to be adjusted, wherein each suspension buffer to be adjusted in the queue has a position.

In some embodiments, each of the scratch pads may have a logo, which may be a two-dimensional code or a bar code.

In other embodiments, the queue of the suspended temporary storage device to be adjusted can be determined based on the working state and/or the checking period of the suspended temporary storage device; wherein, operating condition includes: a normal state and an abnormal state.

For example, a queue formed by all the suspension registers with abnormal operating states in sequence may be determined as a queue of suspension registers to be adjusted. For another example, a queue formed by some or all of the suspended registers in sequence may be periodically determined as the queue of suspended registers to be adjusted.

For another example, if the queue formed by the partial suspension type temporary storage devices in sequence is periodically determined as the first queue, then the suspension type temporary storage devices with abnormal working states in all the suspension type temporary storage devices are determined, then the suspension type temporary storage devices with abnormal working states are added to the head of the first queue to obtain the second queue, and the second queue is determined as the suspension type temporary storage device queue to be adjusted, so that the suspension type temporary storage devices in abnormal working states can be preferentially adjusted.

In some embodiments, the verification period may be determined based on historical operating conditions of the overhead buffer. It is to be understood that a check period may refer to a particular time or condition setting between two calibrations. The check period in the disclosed embodiments may be one month, three months, half a year, one year, and so forth. In implementation, the checking period may be determined according to the historical operating state of the suspension buffer. For example, if a portion of the scratch pad device frequently fails, the time of the check cycle should be shortened appropriately.

It will be appreciated that the number of verification units may be one or more in the case of adjusting the level of only one of the scratch pads. When all the suspended temporary storage devices of one suspended temporary storage device queue to be adjusted need to be adjusted, the number of the checking units may be multiple, and the number of the checking units in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited. When the number of the checking parts is multiple, the level values of multiple shed positions or multiple suspension type temporary storage devices can be measured and adjusted at one time, and therefore time is saved.

Step S305, sequentially performing the above-mentioned loop steps S301 to S303 for each suspension register in the queue of suspension registers to be adjusted until the adjusted level value of the suspension register is within the range of the preset level reference value.

In some embodiments, the method for leveling an overhead register further comprises:

step S306, determining a checking path based on the queue of the suspension type temporary storage device to be adjusted;

here, the check path may be formed by connecting the positions of the suspended buffers to be adjusted in the order of the queue of the suspended buffers to be adjusted. In other words, the check path may be: and sequentially routing the whole process from the first suspension type temporary storage device to be regulated to the last suspension type temporary storage device to be regulated of the queue. For example, there are three suspension buffers to be adjusted, the device identifiers being 1 to 3, in case 1: when the queue of suspended buffers to be adjusted is device 1, device 2 and device 3, the check path is a path formed by connecting devices 1 to 3 in sequence. In case 2: when the queue of suspended buffers to be adjusted is device 3, device 2 and device 1, the check path is a path formed by connecting devices 3, 2 and 1 in sequence.

And step S307, sending a conveying instruction to the conveying part based on the checking path, wherein the conveying instruction is used for controlling the conveying part to convey the checking part to the suspended temporary storage device according to the checking path.

Here, the controller may transmit a transport instruction to the transport unit based on the check path, and control the transport unit to transport the check unit to the overhead stocker according to the check path.

For example, there are 3 scratch pads to be adjusted, and the queue and check path of the scratch pad to be adjusted determined by the controller is case 2. When adjusting the level value, the handling means first carries the checking means to the device 3 based on the checking path; the above loop steps S301 to S303 are executed for the device 3 until the adjusted level value of the device 3 is within the range of the preset level reference value; then, the transportation component transports the checking component to the device 2, and performs the above loop steps S301 to S303 on the device 2 until the adjusted level value of the device 2 is within the range of the preset level reference value; finally, the transport component transports the verification component to the device 1, and performs the above loop steps S301 to S303 on the device 1 until the adjusted level value of the device 1 is within the range of the preset level reference value. Therefore, the level value of each suspension type temporary storage device in the queue can be sequentially adjusted according to the checking path, so that the level value of each suspension type temporary storage device meets the preset level reference value, errors are reduced when the suspension type temporary storage device takes and places the FOUP due to the fact that the level value does not meet the preset level reference value, and production is influenced. In addition, since the queue of the suspended registers to be adjusted is determined first, and then the above-mentioned loop steps S301 to S303 are sequentially performed for each suspended register in the queue, the missing of the calibration can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the aforementioned loop from step S301 to step S303 may be performed simultaneously for the pending buffers in the pending buffer queue to be adjusted until the level value of the pending buffer is within the predetermined range of the horizontal reference value. Therefore, the utilization rate of the checking component can be improved, the adjusting time can be shortened, and the working efficiency is further improved.

It is understood that if the above-mentioned loop from step S301 to step S303 is performed simultaneously on the suspension registers to be adjusted, a calibration unit is required to be disposed on each suspension register. If some suspension type temporary storage devices to be adjusted have no checking component, a checking component can be conveyed into the suspension type temporary storage device by utilizing the conveying component, under the condition, the controller can determine the conveying path of each conveying component according to the position of the idle checking component, the position of the suspension type temporary storage device without the checking component and the position of the conveying component, thus, the adjacent conveying components can be selected as far as possible to convey the idle checking component to the corresponding suspension type temporary storage device, thereby not only reducing the conveying time, but also reducing the influence on each other in the conveying process and improving the operation efficiency.

In some embodiments, the load-bearing member may include at least one bay, and the method of leveling the suspended temporary storage device further includes: the above-mentioned steps S301 to S303 are sequentially performed for each gate position in each suspension type temporary storage device in the queue of suspension type temporary storage devices to be adjusted until the level value of each gate position in the adjusted suspension type temporary storage device is within the range of the preset level reference value. Therefore, the influence of the placement position of the checking component on the horizontal value measurement can be reduced, and the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device can be more accurately adjusted.

step S308, when the load sensing unit detects that the component body is placed on the load-bearing component, the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device measured by the level measuring unit is stored in the storage unit.

In this way, it is possible to reduce the memory unit from storing useless data, such as the level value measured by the level measuring unit during transportation.

in step S309, when the adjusted level value of the suspension type temporary storage device is within the range of the preset level reference value, the handling component is controlled to carry the verification component away from the suspension type temporary storage device.

During implementation, the required transporting component transports the checking component away from the adjusted suspension temporary storage device according to the transporting instruction, and transports the checking component to the next suspension temporary storage device to be adjusted, so as to complete adjustment of the level value of the next suspension temporary storage device to be adjusted.

The present disclosure further provides a horizontal adjustment method for a suspension type temporary storage device, referring to fig. 15, including steps S401 to S408:

step S401, determining a queue of the suspension type temporary storage device to be adjusted based on the working state and/or the checking period of the suspension type temporary storage device;

step S402, determining a checking path based on a suspension type temporary storage device queue to be adjusted;

here, step S401 and step S402 may be implemented with reference to step S304 and step S306, respectively.

Step S403, sending a conveying instruction to the conveying part based on the checking path, wherein the conveying instruction is used for controlling the conveying part to convey the checking part to the suspended temporary storage device according to the checking path;

here, step S403 may be implemented with reference to step 307.

Step S404, when the load sensing unit detects that the component body is placed on the bearing component, storing the level value of the suspension type temporary storage device measured by the level measuring unit in a storage unit;

here, step S404 may be implemented with reference to step S308.

Step S405, obtaining a measured horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device;

step S406, determining the expansion amount to be adjusted of each expansion component in the horizontal adjustment system based on the relation between the horizontal value and a preset horizontal reference value;

step S407, based on the expansion amount to be adjusted of each expansion assembly, sending an electric signal to the corresponding expansion assembly, and adjusting the horizontal value of the suspension type temporary storage device by adjusting the length of the expansion assembly;

here, steps S405 to S407 may be implemented with reference to steps S301 to S303.

In step S408, when the adjusted level value of the suspension type temporary storage device is within the range of the preset level reference value, the handling component is controlled to carry the verification component away from the suspension type temporary storage device.

Here, step S408 may be implemented with reference to step 309.

When adjusting one of the queues of the suspended registers to be adjusted, after the steps S401 to S407 are performed, it may be necessary to perform the steps S404 and S407 again or even multiple times until the amount of expansion and contraction to be adjusted of each expansion and contraction component in the horizontal adjustment system is determined to be zero based on the relationship between the horizontal value and the preset horizontal reference value, that is, the horizontal value is within the range of the preset horizontal reference value, and then step S408 is performed. Thereafter, steps S403 to S408 may be performed on the next suspension register in the queue until the level value of each suspension register in the queue is within the predetermined level reference value range.

The horizontal adjusting method of the suspension type temporary storage device in the embodiment of the disclosure can adjust the horizontal value of each suspension type temporary storage device to be adjusted in the queue of the suspension type temporary storage devices to be adjusted to be within the preset reference horizontal value range, so that manual ascending adjustment one by one is not needed, and the operation efficiency is improved; in addition, because the suspension type temporary storage device queue to be adjusted is determined firstly, and then each suspension type temporary storage device in the queue is sequentially subjected to horizontal value adjustment, the condition of missing check can be reduced.
