本發明,是有關於清淨搬運(Clean Material Handling)等的領域所使用的基板昇降移送裝置及基板處理移送系統。The present invention relates to a substrate lifting and transferring device and a substrate processing transfer system used in the field of clean material handling (Clean Material Handling) and the like.

在清淨搬運的領域,有使用在被配設在下階樓層的第1基板處理裝置及被配設在上階樓層的第2基板處理裝置之間,進行玻璃基板等的基板的昇降移送的基板昇降移送裝置。一般的基板昇降移送裝置的結構等,是如以下者。In the field of clean transportation, there is a substrate lift that is used for lifting and lowering the substrate such as a glass substrate between the first substrate processing apparatus disposed on the lower floor and the second substrate processing apparatus disposed on the upper floor. Transfer device. The structure and the like of a general substrate lifting and lowering device are as follows.

即,在第1基板處理裝置的附近,設有朝上下方向延伸的昇降導引,在此昇降導引中,將基板支撐的昇降載置台是可昇降地被設置。且,在昇降導引的適宜位置中,設有將昇降載置台昇降的昇降用馬達。在此,昇降載置台,是在對應第1基板處理裝置的高度,對於第1基板處理裝置可將基板拉出及送出。且,昇降載置台,是在對應第2基板處理裝置的高度,對於第2基板處理裝置可將基板拉出及送出。In other words, in the vicinity of the first substrate processing apparatus, an elevation guide that extends in the vertical direction is provided, and in this elevation guidance, the elevation mounting table that supports the substrate is provided to be movable up and down. Further, in a suitable position for lifting and lowering, a lifting motor for raising and lowering the lifting platform is provided. Here, the elevation mounting table is at a height corresponding to the first substrate processing apparatus, and the substrate can be pulled out and sent out by the first substrate processing apparatus. Further, the elevation mounting table is at a height corresponding to the second substrate processing apparatus, and the substrate can be pulled out and sent out by the second substrate processing apparatus.

因此,藉由昇降用馬達的驅動使昇降體下降,使昇降體位於對應第1基板處理裝置的高度。接著,基板是從第1基板處理裝置朝昇降載置台被拉出。且,藉由昇降用馬達的驅動使昇降體上昇,使昇降體位於對應第2基板處理裝置的高度。進一步,使基板從昇降載置台朝第2基板處理裝置被送出。Therefore, the elevating body is lowered by the driving of the elevating motor, and the elevating body is positioned at a height corresponding to the first substrate processing apparatus. Next, the substrate is pulled out from the first substrate processing apparatus toward the elevation mounting table. Then, the elevating body is raised by the driving of the elevating motor, and the elevating body is positioned at a height corresponding to the second substrate processing apparatus. Further, the substrate is sent out from the elevating mount to the second substrate processing apparatus.

如此,進行從第1基板處理裝置朝第2基板處理裝置的基板的昇降移送。且,藉由使基板昇降移送裝置進行前述動作的相反的動作,進行從前述第2基板處理裝置朝前述第1基板處理裝置的基板的昇降移送。In this manner, the lifting and lowering of the substrate from the first substrate processing apparatus to the second substrate processing apparatus is performed. Further, the substrate lifting and lowering device performs the reverse operation of the above operation, and the substrate transfer from the second substrate processing device to the substrate of the first substrate processing device is performed.

又,關連於本發明的先行技術,是如下述專利文獻1。Further, the prior art related to the present invention is as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.

但是,在上述的一般的基板昇降移送裝置中,將基板支撐的昇降載置台因為是可昇降地被設置在昇降導引,所以成為將基板保持呈倒伏(水平)姿勢的方式進行昇降。因此,基板昇降移送裝置的占有平面積(設置平面積)是成為需要至少基板一枚分的平面積以上。因此,基板昇降移送裝置的占有平面積增大,工場內空間的有效利用是有困難。特別是,近年來,基板的大型化急速進行,此問題更顯著。However, in the above-described general substrate lifting and lowering device, since the elevating table supported by the substrate is provided on the elevating guide so as to be movable up and down, the elevating table is lifted and lowered in a posture in which the substrate is held in a vertical (horizontal) posture. Therefore, the flat area (the flat area to be set) of the substrate lifting and lowering device is required to be at least one flat area of the substrate. Therefore, the occupied flat area of the substrate lifting and lowering device is increased, and it is difficult to effectively utilize the space in the worksite. In particular, in recent years, the size of the substrate has been rapidly increased, and this problem has become more remarkable.

在此,本發明的目的是提供一種新穎構成的基板昇降移送裝置及基板處理移送系統,可以解決前述的問題。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a substrate lift transfer device and a substrate process transfer system which are novel in construction and which solve the aforementioned problems.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the traveling motor 65 is driven to circulate the ring-shaped member 63 in one direction, and the substrate W is raised while holding the standing posture. By repeating the above-described operations, the plurality of substrates W can be sequentially sent from the first substrate transfer processing device 3 to the substrate lift transfer device 7.

如第3圖所示,將基板W的端部把持的昇降用夾具69是上昇直到對應第2基板搬運處理裝置5的高度為止的話,停止環形狀構件63的循環行走。接著,由複數第2姿勢切換用吸著墊片49將基板W的背面吸著。將各第2鬆開用氣壓缸87驅動將位於對應第2基板搬運處理裝置5的高度的昇降用夾具69的可動挾持爪77抵抗彈簧81的推迫力朝鬆開方向擺動,將由昇降用夾具69所產生的把持狀態解除(第7圖參照)。As shown in FIG. 3, the lifting jig 69 for holding the end portion of the substrate W is raised until the height of the second substrate conveyance processing device 5 is reached, and the circulation of the ring-shaped member 63 is stopped. Next, the back surface of the substrate W is sucked by the plurality of second posture switching suction pads 49.

The absorbing state generated by the sheet 49 is released. By performing the above-described operations in reverse, the plurality of substrates W can be sequentially sent from the substrate lifting and lowering device 7 to the second substrate transfer processing device 5.

解除由複數第2姿勢切換用吸著墊片49所產生的吸著狀態之後,從複數第2浮上組件21的噴嘴21n將空氣噴出,且藉由將一對的第2搬運用馬達27驅動將複數第2搬運滾子25旋轉使基板W朝右方向浮上搬運,使基板W位在第2基板搬運處理裝置5的預定置位置(第5圖參照)。After the suction state by the plurality of second posture switching suction pads 49 is released, the air is ejected from the nozzles 21n of the plurality of second floating assemblies 21, and the pair of second transport motors 27 are driven. When the plurality of second transport rollers 25 rotate, the substrate W is transported in the right direction, and the substrate W is placed at a predetermined position of the second substrate transport processing device 5 (see FIG. 5).

The conveyance process of the substrate W by the conveyance processing apparatus 5 can be performed sequentially. In addition, the transport processing of the substrate W by the second substrate transport processing device 5 and the lifting and lowering of the substrate W from the second substrate transport processing device 5 to the first substrate transport processing device 3 are performed by the reverse operation of the above-described operation. The transfer and the conveyance processing of the generated substrate W by the first substrate transfer processing device 3 can be sequentially performed.

總而言之,在本實施例中,因為:i)具有複數第1姿勢切換用吸著墊片37的第1姿勢切換構件29,是朝水平的軸心周圍可擺動地設在第1基板搬運處理裝置3的左側附近,ii)具有複數第2姿勢切換用吸著墊片49的第2姿勢切換構件41,是朝水平的軸心周圍可擺動地設在第2基板搬運處理裝置5的左側附近,iii)複數昇降用夾具69,是在周方向隔有間隔被設置在一對的環形狀構件63,所以如上述,可以將立起姿勢保持且將基板W昇降,可以將基板昇降移送裝置7的占有平面積抑制在基板W一枚分的平面積未滿。In the present embodiment, the first posture switching member 29 having the plurality of first posture switching suction pads 37 is swingably provided around the horizontal axis center in the first substrate conveyance processing device. In the vicinity of the left side of the third substrate, the second posture switching member 41 having the plurality of second posture switching suction pads 49 is provided in the vicinity of the left side of the second substrate conveyance processing device 5 so as to be swingable around the horizontal axis. Iii) The plurality of lifting jigs 69 are provided in a pair of ring-shaped members 63 at intervals in the circumferential direction. Therefore, as described above, the standing posture can be maintained and the substrate W can be moved up and down, and the substrate lifting and lowering device 7 can be moved. The occupied flat area suppresses the flat area of one portion of the substrate W from being insufficient.

且,在本實施例中,因為:iV)朝上下方向延伸的一對的環形狀構件63,是可循環行走地設在一對的支撐框架53,v)複數昇降用夾具69,是在周方向隔有間隔被設置在一對的環形狀構件63,所以可以從第1基板搬運處理裝置3朝第2基板搬運處理裝置5,或是從第2基板搬運處理裝置5朝第1基板搬運處理裝置3,將複數基板W連續地昇降移送。Further, in the present embodiment, the pair of ring-shaped members 63 extending in the vertical direction are: iV) are provided in a pair of support frames 53 so as to be rotatable, v) the plurality of lifting jigs 69 are in the week Since the direction is provided in the pair of ring-shaped members 63 at intervals, the first substrate transfer processing device 3 can be transported from the second substrate transfer processing device 5 to the first substrate transfer processing device 5 to the first substrate. The device 3 continuously lifts and transports the plurality of substrates W.

因此,因為可以將基板昇降移送裝置7的占有平面積抑制在基板W一枚分的平面積未滿,所以可以將基板昇降移送裝置7的占有平面積充分地削減,可以達成工場內空間的有效利用。Therefore, since the flat area of the substrate lifting/lowering device 7 can be suppressed, the flat area of one portion of the substrate W is not sufficient, so that the occupied flat area of the substrate lifting and lowering device 7 can be sufficiently reduced, and the space in the work space can be effectively achieved. use.

且,因為從第1基板搬運處理裝置3朝第2基板搬運處理裝置5,或是從第2基板搬運處理裝置5朝第1基板搬運處理裝置3將複數基板W連續地昇降移送,所以基板W的昇降移送的周期時間可以縮短,可以提高有關於基板W的一連的作業能率。In addition, since the plurality of substrates W are continuously moved up and down from the first substrate transfer processing device 3 to the second substrate transfer processing device 5 or from the second substrate transfer processing device 5 to the first substrate transfer processing device 3, the substrate W is transferred. The cycle time of the lift transfer can be shortened, and the continuous work energy rate with respect to the substrate W can be improved.

進一步,下階樓層LF及上階樓層UF的高度間隔大的情況時,可以增加昇降用夾具69的個數,作為保管多數的基板W的裝置可以利用基板昇降移送裝置7。Further, when the height interval between the lower floor LF and the upper floor UF is large, the number of the lifting jigs 69 can be increased, and the substrate lifting and lowering device 7 can be used as a device for storing a plurality of substrates W.
