Description

Industrial robot
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of industrial robot that the carrying object of regulation is carried.
Background technology
At present; The industrial robot of carrying as the glass substrate that LCD is used; The known so-called double arm robot (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1) that a kind of two arms that have two hands supplying the glass substrate installing and each hand in two hands is kept are arranged.The robot of record comprises in the patent documentation 1: the base end side of arm is supported to the supporting member that can rotate; And supporting members supports become the post that can move up at upper and lower.In this robot, arm is made up of the first arm and second arm.In addition, the lower end of post is supported on base station with the mode that can rotate, and this base station is supported on substructure member.Base station can move with respect to substructure member in the horizontal direction linearity.The mode that this robot moves at linearity under the state of prescribed direction with hand makes hand flexible, thus the carrying glass substrate.
In the incorporating sections such as box that supply this glass substrate to take in, taken out of direction inclination or offset sometimes by the glass substrate of the carryings such as robot of record in the patent documentation 1 with respect to glass substrate.Therefore; Proposed a kind of be used for to tilt or the state of offset under be accommodated in the glass substrate of incorporating section inclination, offset revise and with the hand of carrying glass sheet to the job position of regulation to method for position (for example, with reference to patent documentation 2).If record in this patent documentation 2 is applied in the patent documentation 1 robot of record to method for position; Can revise the inclination, the offset that under the state of inclination or offset, are accommodated in the glass substrate of incorporating section, and glass substrate is moved into job position.
For example, in the robot that patent documentation 1 is put down in writing, be located in the inclination of the glass substrate that is accommodated in the incorporating section under the detected situation of sensor of hand; If base station is moved on prescribed direction with respect to substructure member, moved into the inclination of the glass substrate of job position to revise to be taken out of from the incorporating section also, and make post rotate ormal weight with respect to base station; Under this state; Make arm flexible, then, base station is moved in the opposite direction and post is rotated in the opposite direction to take out of glass substrate from the incorporating section; Revise the inclination of glass substrate; Then, glass substrate is moved into job position, then can to the inclination that is accommodated in the glass substrate of incorporating section with heeling condition revise and with carrying glass sheet to job position.In addition, if such carrying glass substrate, then can suppress to be moved into job position glass substrate at base station with respect to the offset on the moving direction of substructure member.Also can after take out of glass substrate, revise the inclination of glass substrate and glass substrate is moved into job position from the incorporating section.
Yet, method for position being come under the inclination to glass substrate, the situation that offset is revised of record in using patent documentation 2, because base station must move with respect to substructure member in the horizontal direction, therefore, the robot maximization that becomes.In addition; For example; Hand along base station with respect to the moving direction linearity of substructure member move under the situation with the carrying glass substrate; Even if can revise the inclination of glass substrate, also be difficult to sometimes suppress glass substrate with base station with respect to the offset on the direction of the moving direction quadrature of substructure member.For example, under the arbitrary situation when taking out of glass substrate in when moving into glass substrate, when hand with base station with respect to the direction of the moving direction quadrature of substructure member on linearity when moving; On the moving direction of this hand; If estimating base station carries glass substrate with respect to the offset on the moving direction of substructure member, then can correction position squint, but owing on hand, glass substrate skew ground is carried; Therefore, can not guarantee correction fully.In addition, carrying during glass substrate when moving into glass substrate under these two kinds of situations, hand along base station with respect to the moving direction linearity of substructure member under the situation about moving, can not revise the offset of glass substrate.On the other hand, at present, also known have a kind of robot that can address these problems (for example, with reference to patent documentation 3).
Patent Document 3 discloses a robot comprising: a fixed base fixed to the upper surface of the base portion; relative to the fixed base portion in the vertical direction of movement of the upper and lower arms; can freely rotate relative to the upper and lower arms of the rotary arm; fixed to the rotating arm the first arm base portion; base part relative to the first arm in the horizontal direction linearly moving the first translational arm (Japanese: a first direct drive Full ア a gum); fixed to the first arm of the second arm translational base section; translational arm with the first linear direction perpendicular to the second translational movement of the arm (Japanese: 2 Full direct acting ア a gum);, and arm fixed to the second translational hand.In this robot; Owing between the turning arm and the second arm pedestal part, dispose the first arm pedestal part and first translation arms; Therefore, can address the above problem, thus can suppress to be moved into job position the carrying object offset and can revise the inclination of this carrying object.

Patent documentation 2: Japanese Patent Laid is opened the 2003-117862 communique
Patent documentation 3: Japanese Patent Laid is opened the 2004-196438 communique
Yet; The structure of record in patent documentation 3 be applied directly to as the robot of record in the patent documentation 1 such, have the supporting members supports one-tenth that arm is supported can be produced following problem under the situation in the robot of the post that upper and lower moves up.Promptly; The structure of record is applied directly under the situation of the robot with post that supporting member is supported in patent documentation 3; Need between arm and supporting member, configuration be equivalent to the first arm pedestal part of record in the patent documentation 3 and the structure of first translation arms; But be under the situation of double arm robot for example, need two structures that are equivalent to the first arm pedestal part and first translation arms, thereby make robot construction become complicated in robot.In addition; Disposing between arm and the supporting member under the situation of the structure that is equivalent to the first arm pedestal part and first translation arms; Need prevent to be equivalent to first translation arms the structure linearity the interference of arm and post when moving, therefore, may limit the amount of movement of the structure that is equivalent to first translation arms.Therefore, when the structure of record was applied directly to the robot with post that supporting member is supported in patent documentation 3, the situation according to the inclination of glass substrate may be difficult to revise rightly this inclination.
