Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a substrate carrying device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-piece container for packaging substrates such as solar cells. [Prior Art] Since the solar cell is made of a substrate, it is very fragile and requires considerable protection and care when transferring between the two places. Containers and packaging for these devices must be able to compete with ammonium. A clean and largely pollution-free environment is important during the transport of solar cells and between their manufacturing steps. The additional required conditions or desirable characteristics of the container used to transport and/or store substrates such as solar cells include lightweight manufacturing, rigidity, peak clarity and cost-effective manufacturability. Such containers must keep the wafer clean, free of contamination and damage. There is a need for improvements to these carriers. The round and battery need to be protected before, during and after the shipping process. In order to improve the protection of each item, it is desirable to reduce the number of transfers of these wafers and batteries. It is also desirable to reduce the number of carriers (eo*ie〇) that need to be managed and to reduce any battery damage that may occur during the transfer or handling process. In addition, it is also desirable to reduce the cost of providing containers or packaging. The cost of waste and scrap is reduced and the environmental impact of the material being transported is minimized. The industry is also learning to protect the low cost, environmentally friendly, high volume, timeliness, high density and strong cushioning performance during transportation. The demand for batteries. The shipping VQlume needs environmentally friendly and sustainable development (4). The restrictions on the use of materials from the Ryugasaki and ozone depleting substances are also required. Therefore, minimizing such as plastic or The use of materials such as foams that are harmful to the environment is desirable; if possible, the use of the contents of the 201219279-capacity is maximized. [Invention] The specific embodiment of the present invention is generally A two-piece substrate carrying container suitable for carrying a solar cell, substrate wafer or other media. Easily pairing with each other using tabs and slots, or tongues and grooves that are integrally formed adjacent to the laterally outer periphery of the container portion The features and advantages of embodiments of the present invention are that the impact absorbing double wall of the side member has an outer wall that absorbs impact and an inner wall that constrains the substrate inside the container. The flexing joints are partially joined such that the corner portions of the curved joints after assembly are not located at the exposed corners of the combined carrier container. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the two components have a substantial combination The square footprint and the four side walls of each of the rectangles, and the entire upper and lower peripheral edges form a "free" edge portion of a portion of the wall structure. The wall structure is in contact with the substrate. Before the wall is restricted, the edge portion extends substantially vertically, defining a wall that is exposed to the outside, and extends substantially horizontally to define a wall joint portion. In the aspect, the entire upper corner extending around the circumference of the container and the entire lower corner extending around the lower periphery of the container are free edge portions supported only by the upright wall and by a substantially vertical portion and a The substantially horizontal portion is structurally isolated from the substrate receiving region. Features and advantages of particular embodiments of the present invention are that the easily assembled container is constructed from two identical container portions, each container portion having a horizontally disposed substrate a member and two vertically extending side walls. The two container portions are shaped to be easily mated to each other when one of them is placed in an inverted and inverted orientation relative to the other. 201219279 The container portion is designed to be 'the container The parts are mated to each other when placed in an inverted and inverted direction with respect to the other. A feature and advantage of a particular embodiment of the present invention is that each container portion can have a base having two adjacent walls and two open sides, whereby the wall of one of the container portions forms both of the four side walls, and the other The wall of the container portion forms the other two of the four walls. A feature and advantage of a particular embodiment of the invention resides in a slot extending continuously therethrough along each of the adjacent walls, the slot being defined by opposing inner surfaces of the inner sidewall portion and the outer sidewall portion. A feature and advantage of embodiments of the present invention is that the slot can be wedge shaped and can be a receiving slot that receives another pair of adjacent walls to closely stack the container portions. A feature and advantage of a particular embodiment of the present invention is that the top assembly portion is identical to the bottom container portion, and each container portion is provided with a base portion and two walls on opposite sides of the base portion to provide a u-shape Configuration. The two identical u-shapes cooperate to form a box-like outer casing. In other embodiments, one of the top portion and the bottom portion may have three walls and the other has one wall. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the inwardly extending pad defining the substrate support surface is separated from the exposed outer top surface and the exposed outer bottom surface of the container by a substantially vertically extending wall portion. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the exposed top surface and the exposed bottom surface perpendicularly aligned with the substrate receiving area are vertically and inwardly recessed by the upper and lower peripheral edges defined by the free outer wall edge portion, that is, the flared skirt Flared skirt portion. Features and advantages of embodiments of the present invention are that the inner sidewalls of the stack of substrates are constrained outwardly at the vertical corners of the stack, such that the more fragile corners are enhanced in vibration protection. Features and advantages of embodiments of the present invention 201219279 are that the structure defining the substrate stacking region has a groove ' at the corner to provide better substrate protection. Prior to assembly, to stack the maximum amount in a reduced volume, the components can be nested together to form an elongated stack to facilitate carrying and storage 'particularly the nest side walls into the recess formed by the double walled side walls. After use (ie after shipping and unloading the product), the component can be re-stacked for reuse, recycling, storage, carriage or disposal. In one embodiment of the invention, the first and second container portions can each have an edge at the periphery thereof and a groove structure that cooperates with each other and engages one another to properly position the component and/or as an inter-component Removable link. In one embodiment of the invention, the container is formed from a polymer by injection molding. In one embodiment, the container is formed from a polymer sheet by vacuum molding. In other specific embodiments, the container is molded from a stock. In one embodiment of the invention, the base of the container is provided with a plurality of shock absorbing pads spaced apart from each other to absorb vibration in the vertical direction. The gasket may be provided with an access hole that allows the battery in the auxiliary package to be easily removed. [Embodiment] Figs. 1 to 5 illustrate a specific embodiment of the substrate carrying container 2G. The carrier container 20 generally includes two sides. . One. P knife 22, i.e., a first container portion 22A and a second valley portion 22B. Each of the capacitors & </ RTI> can be identical and each has a bottom wall 24 and a pair of side walls 26 and 28 of the substrate stack receiving area 29, . The container portion 22 is preferably made of a polypropylene material or other polymer. The bottom wall 24 is generally horizontally disposed and serves as a container for the bottom or top of the burglary. ^ j,, a shaped or pseudo square wafer or its tantalum substrate (eg, a stack of solar electric grounds 30 is attached to the substrate 24. 201219279 The surface of the substrate 24 is a general-horizontal plane, however Molded to include horizontally disposed grooves 32 (see Figure 2) or 塾 34 arrays for buffer control in the vertical direction (i.e., the z-axis direction). Shallow locking grooves (shaU) integrally formed around the substrate 24. Lockingw locking groove 35. The groove 35 extends along two sides of the container portion 22 that do not have side walls. The container portion has a flared skirt 7〇 with an outer peripheral edge portion 64. Side walls 26 and 28 The horizontal planes are disposed perpendicularly with respect to the base. The side walls 26 and 28 are shock absorbing double walls. This means that the walls each have a levable outer wall 36 for absorbing and attenuating impact. % (10) of each flexible outer wall The inner wall 38 is generally disposed in a direction parallel thereto. The inner wall 38 is generally rigid to avoid the sing of the wafer or the solar cell substrate 30. Therefore, the side walls 26 and 28 provide a buffering effect from the lateral direction (i.e., the x_y direction). The inwardly disposed surface of the inner wall 38 is smooth and sag To minimize friction near the edge of the wafer or solar cell. The substrate. Pt? 24 mjc is flat 9 and serves as the bottom or top of the container carrying container. A variety of substrates 30 (including square or quasi-square The wafer or solar cell can be stacked horizontally on the substrate 「 in a "coinstack" arrangement. The surface of the substrate 24 is generally a horizontal plane; however, it is molded to contain a plurality of constraints in the vertical direction and to control the buffer. Pad 32. Pad 32 provides a uniform canine out portion that is inwardly into the interior of the container and has a planar projection surface 31 above or below the substrate 3 for contact with a substrate or other packaged material. The opposing portions of the inner cushion portions of the base 24 are recesses 33 which define a pattern of grooves or depressions extending outwardly of the top and bottom surfaces of the closed valley. An integrally formed shallow lock groove 34 surrounds the base 24. The groove 34 extends along two sides of the container portion 22 that do not include side walls. A plurality of spaced slots 35 are seated at the bottom of the lock groove 34. Equal interpolation The size of 35 is designed to be a coupled engagement with the correspondingly disposed tongue-and-loop structure of the 201219279 'container portion. In one embodiment, the side walls 26 and 28 of each container portion are adjacent to each other. The horizontal plane with respect to the base is upright and vertical. The side walls 26 and 28 are shock absorbing double walls, which means that the walls each have an outer side wall portion 36 for absorbing and attenuating impact. Within each outer side wall portion 36, The inner sidewall portion 38 is disposed generally parallel thereto. The inner sidewall portion 38 defines a substrate stack receiving region and constrains the wafer or solar cell substrate 30. Thus, the side walls 26 and 28 provide a cushioning effect from the side (i.e., the x-y direction). In addition, the inwardly disposed surface of the inner sidewall portion 38 is generally relatively smooth, minimizing friction near the edge of the wafer or solar cell 30. In some embodiments, wall portions 36 and 38 are different in flexibility and rigidity properties, for example, by varying their respective thicknesses or providing a rigidened structure. For example, Figure 3 illustrates an inner wall portion that is thicker than the outer wall portion. The inner wall portion and the outer wall portion define a recess 38.2. In some embodiments, the recess 38.2 has a wedge formed by the recess opening for receiving and nesting the double wall of the other container portion. . Outer sidewall portion 36 and inner sidewall portion 38 are joined to another contact portion 39, defining an elongated top edge portion 40. The top edge portion 40 extends along the length of the two walls 26 and 28 and is bent at the adjacent corners 42 of the two walls to form a right angle and, in a particular embodiment, an L-shaped projection from the base. The top contact portion is U-shaped and provides shock absorbing functionality. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the container 20 of the combination. When the container is ready for assembly, a first container portion 22A can be releasably engaged with a second container portion 22B to complete the carrier container. First, a second container portion 22B in the same direction as the container portion 22A is inverted and rotated 180 degrees with respect to the first container portion 22A. The top edge 40 of the first (lower) container portion 22A that forms the tongue 201219279 is inserted into the groove portion 35 of the third container portion 22B. Additionally, the top edge 40 of the second container portion 22B is inserted into the groove portion 35 of the first container portion 22A. The top edge 40 and the groove portion 35 may be press fit together in the form of tongues and grooves to fit together to secure the container portions together. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the combined container 20 generally has a generally square top side 46, a generally square bottom side 48, and four rectangular sides 50, 51, 52, 53. It should be noted that in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the edge portion 60 extends completely along the upper peripheral corner 62 on all four sides of the container and completely along the lower peripheral corner 64 on all four sides. A flared portion forming a flared skirt 70 flares outwardly and is in a "free" condition, meaning that the edge of the outer wall portion is only supported by the outer wall portion. Thus, any shock from any of the upper and lower peripheral corners of the impact must be at least from the outer edge portion 60 through an upright or substantially vertical direction prior to reaching any structure defining the substrate receiving area 29. The wall portion extends to a wall portion that extends substantially horizontally. Therefore, the shock can be substantially absorbed by the bending of the intermediate structure before reaching the fragile substrate. It can be seen that each of the peripheral edge portions has at least one U-shaped wall portion 80 interposed between the edge portions and the structure that engages or supports the substrate. The U-shaped wall portion can effectively absorb the vibration at the corner portion by allowing the outer wall to be bent at the corner portion. In various embodiments, additional packaging materials, such as paperboard 84 and/or foamed layer 86, may be stacked between the container and the wafer or solar cell 30 for additional protection. A sleeve 88 formed of paper, cardboard, foam or other sheet-like material can bind and support the stack. Alternatively, a similar material can be placed on the outside of the container 20, and a tape or shrink wrap can be placed around the outer periphery of the container and/or packaging material for further sealing. For example, in Figure 6, a corrugated pad 5619 is wrapped around the container 20 and the exterior of the container and package is surrounded by a shrink wrap 58. Figures 6 through 8 illustrate the manner in which the pallets of the carrier containers are packaged in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The carrier container 20 is typically first loaded into each container 20 with a predetermined number of wafers or cells 30, which are then placed vertically in the main box spaced apart from the liner 68 by, for example, placing five carrier containers 20 per container. (master carton) 70. Next, the main tank 70 is loaded onto the pallet 72, and a carriage kit 74 is placed on the pallet contents and a strap 76 is attached. In other embodiments, the assembly is formed by two side walls 94, 95 opposite each other with respect to the base 96, and may be U-shaped when viewed in a side view or in a side view, as shown in Fig. 9. Referring to Figures 10 and 11, in a particular embodiment of the invention, the container portions 20 can be combined into a stack of container portions to provide a compact and high density carrier configuration. Referring to Figures 12 and 13, the pads 110 are arranged in a matrix and may have finger holes 112 that help remove the stack. It should be noted that the substrate carrying containers can be stacked vertically as necessary during transport and storage. First, due to the configuration of the container, the container can replace the existing sort bin without modifying the device. The container can be used in both flat-mounted and angle-mounted sorting operations, and in some embodiments, the molded design typically allows for a customized joint structure (interface features) ). The container also has a built-in positioning function that allows the carrier container to align with the center of the wafer. Finally, the stacking function of subsequent wafer/battery storage is also included. One of the removable inserts in the mold can be the manufacturer's logo. In addition, the container can handle a variety of RFID tags, barcodes and stickers according to customer needs. Alternatively, the container base can be molded into a grid for tracking, cleaning, reuse or other recycling. π 201219279 The outer surface of the container provides an external stacking function and a bundleable perimeter. The assembly is typically fabricated by injection molding, vacuum forming, or other means from a polymer or slurry suitable for a semiconductor wafer. In some embodiments, the container of the foregoing style may have a capacity of, for example, 150, 130, 125 or 100 stacked wafers or solar cells. For example, a container having a full size of 6.19" X 6.19" X 1.75" and a weight of 63 ounces can be easily achieved using this container. The carrier can further serve as a carrier in various embodiments. Sorting box, battery finished product carrier, or battery finished product sorting box.
