Abstract
The disclosure provides an adjustable device including plates and at least two adjustable modules connect with two adjacent of the plates. The adjustable module can stretch or shrink to change a distance between plates. The disclosure also provides an adjustable storage box including an upper cover and a lower cover. A storage space is formed by the upper cover and the lower cover and for the accommodating of the adjustable device. When the upper cover moves upward relative to the lower cover, the adjustable modules changes from a compression state to a stretch state and increase a distance between plates. Whereby, it is easy to pick and place object when a distance of two adjacent plates increases. The overall volume of the adjustable device is reduced when a distance of two adjacent plates decrease, thereby saving the working space.

- Some words are used to refer to specific elements in the whole specification and the appended claims in the disclosure. A person skilled in the art should understand that a wafer storage box and transfer device assembly manufacturer may use different names to refer to the same elements. The specification is not intended to distinguish elements that have the same functions but different names. In the following specification and claims, the terms “having”, “including”, etc. are open-ended terms, so they should be interpreted to mean “including but not limited to . . . ”.
- It should be noted that in the following embodiments, features in a plurality of embodiments may be replaced, recombined, or mixed to complete other embodiments without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. The features of the embodiments may be used in any combination without departing from the spirit of the disclosure or conflicting with each other.
- The technical content and feature of the invention is illustrated by the following embodiment and figures. Referring to
FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 , anadjustable device 10 according to the first embodiment of the disclosure includesplates 20, and at least twoadjustable module 30 which connects twoadjacent plates 20. Theadjustable modules 30 can stretch out or draw back to change a distance betweenplates 20. When theadjustable module 30 is in a stretch state, a distance between twoadjacent plates 20 is the largest. When theadjustable module 30 is in a compression state, a distance between twoadjacent plates 20 is the smallest. Eachplate 20 can be in regular polygon shape, square, or octagon et. al. It would be noted that the shape of each plates can be modified and not be limited to the above-mentioned shapes. Each plate can accommodate an object which can be wafer, dish, or disc et. al. - Referring to
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , theplate 20 includes aside opening 22 and abottom opening 24. Robotic arm can place an object such as awafer 100 on theplate 20 or pick thewafer 100 from theplate 20 via these two openings. Thebottom opening 24 can be in circle shape or any other shape and can be adjusted according to the manufacturing process needs. In order to place thewafer 100 on the plate more stably, theplate 20 may include astep structure 25 which includes astep sidewall 251 and a bottom portion of thestep structure 253. Eachstep structure 25 can limit the horizontal translation of thewafer 100, thereby ensuring thewafer 100 will not slides out or damaged during transferring or manufacturing process. An angle between thestep sidewall 251 and theplate 20 is ranged from 91 to 179 degree. It would be preferred that an angle between the bottom portion of thestep structure 253 and thestep sidewall 251 is less than 180 degree. - When a
wafer 100 is placed on theplate 20, thestep structure 25 can limit the horizontal translation of thewafer 100. It is easier to pick and place thewafer 100 due to thestep sidewall 251. Furthermore, an area enclosed by an outer line of thestep sidewall 251 is approximately slightly larger than a projection area of thewafer 100. An outer edge of thewafer 100 is against to thestep sidewall 251 but does not contact the bottom portion of thestep structure 253 to avoid being damaged by thestep structure 25. Besides, an area enclosed by an inner line of each bottom portion of thestep structure 253 can be modified depending on a size of a wafer for convince of picking and placing thewafer 100 by a robotic arm. - Two

Thefirst sidewall 31 is pivoted to one of theplates 20 and thesecond sidewall 32 is pivoted to anotheradjacent plate 20. When these adjustable modules are in a compression state, thefirst sidewall 31 and thesecond sidewall 32 can come close to each other. Referring toFIG. 5 , themovement restriction component 36 includes twoarc portions 361 which are respectively close to thefirst sidewall 31 and thesecond sidewall 32 so that the direction of stretching and drawing back of the adjustable module is limited. That is to say, the status of theadjustable module 30 changed from a stretch state to a compression state, thefirst sidewall 31 and thesecond sidewall 32 can present a convex shape like “>” (as shown inFIG. 5 ).

Theupper cover 60 can moves up and down to cover thelower cover 70. Thestorage space 80 accommodates theadjustable device 10.FIG. 18 shows the state of theadjustable storage box 50 when theadjustable module 30 is in a compressed state, that is, theupper cover 60 is covered on thelower cover 70,FIG. 19 shows the state of theadjustable storage box 50 when theadjustable module 30 is in a stretch state when theupper cover 60 is separated from thelower cover 70. The shapes of theupper cover 60 andlower cover 70 can be modified according on the shape of theplate 20. Even theupper cover 60 can be plate-shaped. Besides, there could be a handle on theupper cover 60 of theadjustable storage box 50 for manually or mechanically picking or placing theupper cover 60. - The

When theupper cover 60 moves upward relative to thelower cover 70, the upperlimited block 621 of the upperposition restriction component 62 of theupper cover 60 can directly spur theupmost plate 20 so that the status ofadjustable module 30 of theadjustable device 10 could be changed from a compression state to a stretch state. Therefore, theplates 20 move upward and increase the distance between eachplate 20. The lowerposition restriction components 72 can pass through theside ports 21 until thelowest plate 20 is stopped by the lowerlimited block 721 of the lowerposition restriction component 72 of thelower cover 70. At this time, theadjustable module 30 is in a stretch state and the distance between twoadjacent plates 20 reach a maximum so that it is easy to pick and place an object on theplate 20. When theupper cover 60 move downward relative to theupper cover 70, theupper cover 60 is close to theupmost plate 20, theplates 20 move down and decrease the distance between eachplate 20. When theadjustable module 30 is in a compression state, a distance between twoadjacent plates 20 reaches a minimum. At this time, overall volume of theadjustable device 10 is reduced, thereby saving the working space. - The above-mentioned object can be picked or placed manually or mechanically without specific restriction. Besides, the
upper cover 60 can be moved up and down by holding the handle or directly picking theupper cover 60. Theupmost plate 20 and thelowest plate 20 may not carry objects depending on the situation. - The way that the

That is, the upperposition restriction component 62 is pivoted to thefirst sidewall 31 of theadjustable module 30. When theupper cover 60 moves up and spurs thefirst sidewall 31, theadjustable module 30 stretches. In the same way, thelowest plate 20 of anadjustable device 10 is indirectly connected to the lowestposition restriction component 72. That is, the lowerposition restriction component 72 is pivoted to thesecond sidewall 32 of theadjustable module 30. In another embodiment, the upperposition restriction component 62 can be pivoted to thesecond sidewall 32, the lowerposition restriction component 72 can be pivoted to thefirst sidewall 31. - As shown in
