Isolator system

摘要

An isolator system includes first and second isolators respectively forming first and second workspaces hermetically sealed from ambient environment, and a pass box provided between the first and second isolators and forming a transport space enabled to communicate the first and second workspaces while maintaining hermeticity, wherein the pass box has a tray on which an article used in work is mounted, and a moving mechanism enabling movement of the tray toward directions to both sides of the first and second isolators, the tray has a first end on the first isolator side located in the first workspace when moved to the first isolator side, and a second end on the second isolator side located in the second workspace when moved to the second isolator side, and the first and second ends of the tray each has a grip bended downward from a mounting face of the tray.

1. An isolator system comprising:
a first isolator forming a first workspace being hermetically sealed from an ambient environment; a second isolator forming a second workspace being hermetically sealed from the ambient environment; and a pass box provided between the first isolator and the second isolator and forming a transport space enabled to communicate the first workspace and the second workspace while maintaining hermeticity, wherein the pass box includes:
a tray on which an article used in work is mounted, the tray having a first end on the first isolator side and a second end on the second isolator side,a moving mechanism configured to enable movement of the tray toward directions to both sides of the first isolator and the second isolator,the first end of the tray is located in the first workspace when the tray is moved to the first isolator side,the second end of the tray is located in the second workspace when the tray is moved to the second isolator side, and the first end and the second end of the tray each has a grip bended downward from a mounting face of the tray, wherein the moving mechanism includes:
a first engaging part provided to a bottom face of the transport space and guides a movement of the tray,a second engaging part provided to the tray and is engaged to the first engaging part, anda spacer fixed between a back face of the mounting face of the tray and the first engaging part, wherein a length of the spacer in a vertical direction is configured to be longer than a length of the grip in the vertical direction, and wherein the first engaging part and the second engaging part are each configured with two linear members that are parallel to a moving direction of the tray.
