Claims16
A vertical transmission equipment, comprising:
- a base having a mount surface;
- a rail structure disposed on the mount surface;
- a carrier movably disposed on the rail structure and comprising a supporting surface and a well plate being supported by the supporting surface;
- a transmission component movably disposed on the base and comprising a conveyor member and a protrusion structure;
- a positioning assembly disposed on the base, the positioning assembly comprising a positioning structure, the carrier having a positioning hole, and the positioning structure of the positioning assembly selectively inserted into the positioning hole;
- and
- a first sensor disposed on the base, wherein when the protrusion structure is sensed by the first sensor, the positioning structure is inserted into the positioning hole, and the carrier is positioned,
- wherein a projection of the rail structure on the mount surface does not overlap with a projection of the conveyor member on the mount surface, and the supporting surface of the carrier is perpendicular to the mount surface of the base.
