1. A top-opening substrate carrier, comprising:
a container body, having an accommodating space and an upper opening communicated to the accommodating space, the container body is provided with a plurality of locking holes;
a door member, provided in the upper opening, the door member has a latching space; and
at least one latching mechanism, provided in the latching space, the latching mechanism includes a rotary drive member, a first driven cam, a second driven cam, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, two longitudinal latching arms and two lateral latching arms, the first driven cam and the second driven cam are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the rotary drive member, the first connecting rod is at least connected to the first driven cam and the rotary drive member, and the second connecting rod is at least connected to the second driven cam and the rotary drive member;
wherein the rotary drive member is rotated by force, and links and activates the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to synchronously drive the first driven cam and the second driven cam to rotate, thereby driving the two longitudinal latching arms and the two lateral latching arms to project towards the plurality of locking holes and locked, or driving the two longitudinal latching arms and the two lateral latching arms to retract from the plurality of locking holes and unlocked.
