In semiconductor and electronics factories, it is often necessary to use corresponding chemicals in each process, such as slurry (slurry) in a semiconductor planarization process. Chemical agents are typically stored in the liquefaction tanks, and the top of the liquefaction tanks are often provided with two covers to seal the openings of the liquefaction tanks. When the chemical agent is to be extracted or refilled, the cap needs to be removed first for the subsequent steps. Generally, the cover of the solution tank is a circular solid cover, and has a side thread and a top thread (pattern) (e.g., a cross-shaped groove or a polygonal groove).

Detailed Description

For a fuller understanding of the objects, features and advantages of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The invention provides a cover opening component, a cover opening device and an extraction system. The extraction system first opens the lid of a container (such as but not limited to the body of a liquid melting barrel) through a lid opening device, and then extracts the content (such as but not limited to liquid, gas, solid-liquid mixture or the like) loaded in the container through an extraction assembly. When the cover opening device is to open the cover body, the positions of the barrel body and the cover body are firstly identified by the alignment assembly with the two alignment devices, then the cover opening assembly with the two cover opening components moves according to the identification result, so that the two cover opening components are correspondingly positioned on the cover body (generally speaking, when the container is a liquid melting barrel, the two cover bodies are arranged), further, a plurality of unpowered needle columns of the cover opening components form corresponding patterns corresponding to the patterns on the surface of the cover body, and rotate to open the cover body after receiving power, wherein the rotating direction of the cover opening component has no any limitation, and the cover opening component can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise according to requirements.

First, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of component relationships of an extraction system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the extraction system 1 includes a door opening device 2 and an extraction assembly 4, wherein the extraction assembly 4 includes an extraction part 401, and the door opening device 2 includes a door opening assembly 3 and an alignment assembly 6. The alignment assembly 6 comprises an alignment device 601, and the cap opening assembly comprises a cap opening part 301, wherein the cap opening part 301 further comprises a transmission part 3011, a pin column rack 3012 and a plurality of unpowered pin columns 3013.

Please refer to fig. 3 and 4 for detailed description of the extraction system and the lid opening device, fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the extraction system according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a bottom view of the extraction system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the extraction system 1 includes an extraction assembly 4 and a door opener 2, wherein the door opener 2 further includes an alignment assembly 6 and a door opener assembly 3. The alignment assembly 6 has two alignment devices 601, and the alignment devices 601 are located at two opposite ends, wherein the two alignment devices 601 can be connected by a moving member 602, so that the two alignment devices 601 can move away from or close to each other, wherein the moving member 602 is not limited to two screws, two linear actuators or two single-axis actuators. The door opening assembly 3 has two door opening members 301, and the door opening members 301 are located at opposite ends of each other, wherein the two door opening members 301 may be connected by a moving member 302 therebetween, so that the two door opening members 301 may be far away from or close to each other, wherein the moving member 302 is not limited to two screws, two linear actuators, or a combination of two single-axis actuators. In the embodiment of the present invention, the door-opening assembly 3 and the alignment assembly 6 may be located on the same plane, and the door-opening assembly 3 and the alignment assembly 6 may be staggered by about 45 degrees, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The uncovering assembly 3 and the alignment assembly 6 can move in three dimensions after receiving the power of a power source (not shown).

The alignment device 601 is, for example but not limited to, an ultrasonic range finder, an infrared range finder or an alignment lens, wherein the alignment device 601 identifies the barrel and the cover of the container with reference to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a step of identifying the barrel and the cover by the alignment device according to the embodiment of the invention. First, referring to step S1 of fig. 5, the aligning device 601 and the barrel T move relatively along the path P1 (without limitation, the aligning device 601 moves or the barrel T moves) to identify a four-point distance of the outer edge of the barrel T, so as to further calculate the center of the barrel T, wherein the step is implemented under the condition that the distance between the two aligning devices 601 is smaller than the distance of the diameter of the barrel T, and the two aligning devices 601 are located at two sides of the center of the barrel T. Next, referring to step S2, the positioning device 601 performs a second recognition to find a midpoint between two covers for positioning the subsequent cover opening device. Referring to step S2 in fig. 5, the aligning device 601 and the barrel T move relatively along the path P2 (not limited to the movement of the aligning device 601 or the movement of the barrel T) to identify the positions of the two covers L1, so as to further calculate the midpoint between the two covers L1, wherein the aligning device 601 of the aligning assembly 6 can be further horizontally moved closer to or farther away from each other to correctly find the positions of the two covers L1. The step S1 is not necessary in the way that the alignment device 601 identifies the barrel and the lid of the container, and the spirit of the alignment device 601 is to identify the centers of the two lids L1 so that the lid opening device can be positioned accordingly when opening the lid later. When the alignment device is an alignment device without a light source (such as an ultrasonic distance meter), the operation can be performed in the dark, so that the present invention is more suitable for the trend of unmanned factories.

After the operation of the alignment assembly is completed, the uncovering assembly moves according to the positions of the two cover bodies and the midpoint of the two cover bodies, so that the centers of the two uncovering assemblies move to the centers of the two cover bodies, the two uncovering assemblies move to the positions above the cover bodies of the bucket body, and an uncovering step is executed, wherein the uncovering assembly moves by receiving power provided by a power source. Referring to fig. 6 to 9, fig. 6 is a partial perspective view of a door opening part according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 7 is a bottom view of the door opening part according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 and 9 are perspective views of the door opening part according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6 to 9, the cap-opening member 301 of the cap-opening assembly has a pin post frame 3012, a plurality of unpowered pins 3013 and a transmission member, wherein the unpowered pins 3013 are movably disposed on the pin post frame 3012, and the transmission member may be composed of a driving gear 3011a, a driven gear 3011b and a geared region 3011c as shown in fig. 6. When the lid opening part has not contacted the lid body, the unpowered pin 3013 naturally falls as shown in fig. 9. When the power source provides power to move the lid opening part 301 toward the lid body (for example, but not limited to, when the lid body is located below the lid opening part, the power source moves the lid opening part downward), the unpowered posts 3013 may form corresponding patterns according to the texture of the lid body surface, that is, the unpowered posts 3013 may move correspondingly according to the texture of the lid body surface to fit the lid body surface (for example, but not limited to, the arrangement of the unpowered posts in fig. 8, note that fig. 8 does not depict the lid body). Then, the driving member connected to the needle post 3012 drives the needle post 3012 to rotate, so that the unpowered needle post 3013 drives the cover to rotate and open the cover. In the present invention, the driving member is driven by the driving gear 3011a to drive the driven gear 3011b to rotate so as to drive the gear driving region 3011c and the needle pillar frame 3012 to rotate, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any member capable of driving the needle pillar frame to move should be regarded as the same as the present invention, for example, the needle pillar frame 3012 may be connected to a rotating shaft, or the needle pillar frame may be designed to be directly connected to a power source, i.e., the driving member may be a rotating shaft or a member connected to a power source.

The lid opening member 301 may further include a skirt and a suction device to assist in opening and removing the lid, and referring to fig. 6 and 7, the lid opening member 301 may have a skirt 3014 covering the periphery of the unpowered pin 3013 to form an interior space and a suction device 3015 connected to the lid opening member 301. The air extractor 3015 disposed in the internal space of the skirt 3014 can extract air when the unpowered needle post 3013 is attached to the surface of the cover and the cover is rotated to open the cover, so that the internal space can form a simulated empty state, and thus, the cover and the unpowered needle post 3013 and the cover and the skirt 3014 can be more closely attached to each other, thereby facilitating the opening and taking of the cover. The skirt piece is not limited in material and shape, and can be cut into strips or be a whole soft curtain cloth on the periphery of the cover opening part, and the type and the arrangement position of the air extracting device are not limited, so that the air extracting device capable of forming a simulated empty state for the inner space is regarded as the concept of the invention.

After the cover of the toilet bowl is opened and removed, the extraction assembly of the extraction system can receive the power of the power source to operate so as to extract the contents of the toilet bowl. Please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4. The extracting component 4 has two extracting parts 401, and the extracting parts 401 are located at two opposite ends of each other, wherein the two extracting parts 401 can be connected by a moving member 402, so that the two extracting parts 401 can move away from or close to each other, wherein the moving member 402 is not limited to two screws, two linear actuators or two single-shaft actuators. The extracting component 4 and the lid opening component 3 may be, but not limited to, staggered in a right angle, and the two extracting members 401 and the two lid opening members 301 may also be moving members commonly connected to four-axis screws (i.e., the moving member is a four-axis screw, the four axes are respectively connected to the two extracting members 401 and the two lid opening members 301, and the two extracting members 401 are disposed opposite to each other and the two lid opening members 301 are disposed opposite to each other), wherein the four axes of the four-axis screws can move in parallel to achieve horizontal displacement of the extracting members and the lid opening members in the same plane. After the cover is removed from the toilet bowl, the extracting component 4 moves based on the original position of the cover and after receiving the power provided by the power source, so that the extracting component 401 moves to the upper part of the opening (the original position of the cover) of the toilet bowl to extract the content loaded in the toilet bowl. The type of the extracting component is not limited at all, and for example, the extracting component can be an interface valve set provided with various pipe diameters and joints.

The extraction system may further include a barrel fixture to hold the barrel of the container so that the alignment, uncapping, and extraction steps may be more accurate. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a perspective view of a barrel body fixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 10, the barrel fixing device 7 may include an upper fixing frame 701, a side fixing frame 702, and a bottom carriage 703. The upper holder 701 may have a barrel holding section 7011 and a holder fixing plate 7012, wherein the barrel holding section 7011 is used to fix the upper portion of the barrel, and the holder fixing plate 7012 may be used to mount a drawing assembly and a lid opening device. The side fixing frame 702 can fix the side of the barrel and can limit the position of the barrel through the baffle 7021, wherein the side fixing frame 702 can be designed to conform to the shape of the side of the barrel, for example, to conform to the arc surface of the barrel, so as to enhance the support. The bottom carriage 703 is used to carry a ladle. Furthermore, the barrel fixing device may further comprise weighing devices to monitor the weight of the barrel and its contents at any time, and the number and installation positions of the weighing devices are not limited, for example, they may be installed on the side fixing frame and/or the bottom carriage.

First, the extraction system can identify the position of the cover of the barrel body through the alignment assembly. Based on the position of the cover body, two cover opening parts of the cover opening assembly are moved to the upper part of the cover body, the cover body is further driven to be opened through the pattern on the surface of the unpowered needle column sealing cover body, the sealing between the unpowered needle column and the cover body can be strengthened through the skirt piece and the air exhaust device, and the cover body is assisted to be removed. Further, the extraction assembly is moved over the opening of the tub (i.e., the position of the original lid) based on the position of the original lid, and extracts the contents loaded in the tub, to implement an extraction process. The lid opening member, the lid opening device and the extraction system may also be applied in a lid closing procedure, i.e. the unpowered spike of the lid opening member is moved over the opening after closing the lid and is further rotated to lock the lid to the barrel.

In view of the above, compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the uncapping member, the uncapping device, and the extracting system according to the embodiments of the present invention are described as follows.

In the prior art, the cover opening process is often manual operation, so that an operator is exposed in the danger of chemical leakage, and therefore automatic cover opening equipment is developed, however, the existing automatic cover opening equipment still needs to replace the cover opening jig suitable for different covers in a time-consuming manner, so that the efficiency of cover opening operation is limited. In a reverse view of the cover opening part, the cover opening device and the extraction system, the cover body is opened by adopting the low-cost alignment device and the cover opening assembly, wherein the unpowered needle cylinder of the cover opening assembly can form a corresponding mode according to different cover body patterns, and the cover opening jig does not need to be replaced in a time-consuming manner. The uncapping device is combined with the extraction system, so that the extraction process can be completed in full automation, wherein the alignment assembly of the uncapping device can use an alignment device without a light source, and the uncapping device and the extraction system provided by the invention can be carried out in the dark so as to meet the trend of an unmanned factory.

The present invention is capable of other embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
