The slide block 415 is fitted in the space between the upper frame 420 and the lower frame 440 by being sandwiched by the second screw shaft 415 with a plurality of steel balls interposed therebetween. And can vertically reciprocate along the second screw shaft 411 between the upper frame 420 and the lower frame 440. [

The upper sliding plate 430 is a member having a plate shape substantially similar to that of the upper frame 420, and is integrally coupled to the slide block 415. The lower sliding plate 450 is disposed below the lower frame 440 and is connected to the upper sliding plate 430 by a plurality of connecting bars 431. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of connecting rods 431 may be embodied as a hollow steel bar.

The upper sliding plate 430 includes a plurality of through holes 435 through which the plurality of vertical frames 421 pass. The vertical frame 421 extends vertically through the respective through holes 435 to connect the upper frame 420 and the lower frame 440 to each other so that the vertical frame 421 is connected to the upper sliding plate 430 ) Acts as a guide when moving up and down. That is, the plurality of vertical frames 421 serve as a support for supporting the upper frame 420 and the driving motor 410. In addition, the upper and lower sliding plates 430, And serves as a guide to prevent twisting.

In one preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of through-holes 435 is implemented with a stroke rotary bushing. The stroke rotary bushing member has a substantially cylindrical shape and has a structure in which a plurality of balls are projected on the inner surface so as to make a plurality of point contacts with the outer surface of the vertical frame 421, Lt; / RTI > Accordingly, since the preload is applied by the point contact with the moving surface, rigidity is increased in all directions, high precision and reliability are ensured, and friction coefficient is extremely small, so that the upper and lower sliding plates 430 and 450 can be moved up and down at a high speed with a small driving force .

13 is a view showing the operation of the vertical transfer unit 400 by driving the driving motor 410. As compared with FIG. 8, when the second screw shaft 411 rotates, the upper sliding plate 430 is connected to It can be seen that the connecting rod 431 and the lower sliding plate 450 move integrally downward a predetermined distance.

As described above, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, since the vertical frame 421 and the connecting rod 431 are each formed of a hollow steel bar structure, the overall weight and weight of the vertical conveyance unit 400 can be reduced, . Particularly, in the case of a conventional gantry loader using a rack-pinion gear structure in the vertical conveying part, when the vertical conveying part is moved downward a lot, the fixed structure connected to the Y-axis conveying part and the moving structure moving away from each other are extended in the vertical direction There is a problem that the conveying portion is shaken due to the weight of the conveying portion and vibration occurs. However, as in the present invention, the vertical conveying portion 400 is fixed to the Y-axis conveying portion 300 with a plurality of hollow steel bars, This problem can be solved. Also, since the ball screw structure is used for the Z-axis direction transfer, it is possible to transfer more precise and faster speeds and to extend the life of the apparatus.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. The scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
