Storage shelf
A storage shelf reduces vibration while maintaining load-carrying capacity and includes placement units on which a FOUP is placed, and a frame unit that supports the placement units. The placement units include frames that are arranged on the frame unit with first elastic bodies interposed therebetween, and a shelf plate that is arranged on the frames with second elastic bodies interposed therebetween and is configured to place thereon the FOUP.
1. A storage shelf configured to reduce the vibration of objects stored thereon, the storage shelf comprising: a placement unit on which an object is able to be placed; and a frame unit that supports the placement unit; wherein the placement unit includes:
a frame that is arranged on a frame unit with a first elastic body interposed therebetween; and
a shelf plate that is arranged on the frame with a second elastic body interposed therebetween and on which the object is to be placed;
wherein the frame unit includes a pair of beam members facing each other; the frame is disposed over the pair of beam members and includes: a concave portion positioned between the pair of beam members and including a base portion extending in an opposing direction of the pair of beam members and a pair of raised portions that are raised from both ends of the base portion; and overhanging portions that overhang from ends of the raised portions and are mounted on the beam members each with the first elastic body interposed therebetween; and the second elastic body is arranged on the concave portion of the frame.
2. The storage shelf according to claim 1 , wherein, when in use, the object is a front-opening unified pod configured to accommodate therein wafers;
the placement unit includes a third elastic body arranged between the frame and the shelf plate, the third elastic body having a rigidity higher than those of the first and the second elastic bodies; and
the third elastic body is arranged on a side where a lid of the front-opening unified pod is positioned when the front-opening unified pod is placed on the shelf plate.
3. The storage shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the frame unit is capable of being secured to a rail of a traveling vehicle.
