Description

本発明は、ワークの円筒形部分をその径方向に把持するロボットハンドに関する。   The present invention relates to a robot hand that grips a cylindrical portion of a workpiece in its radial direction.

ロボットハンドは、例えば多関節ロボットのアーム先端部に取り付けられ、ワークを把持して搬送するために通常用いられる。
また、ワークの円筒形部分をその径方向に把持する場合、ロボットハンドの把持部に対向するV字形状の接触部ができるようにするのが一般的である。
しかしこの場合、図1(A)に示すように、爪のV字形状の接触部が小径の円筒形部分を確実に把持できても、図1(B)に示すように、丸印で示すV字形状の角にワークが当たり、表面を傷付けたり、把持が不安定になる問題点があった。
A robot hand is attached to the tip of an arm of an articulated robot, for example, and is usually used for gripping and transporting a workpiece.
Further, when gripping the cylindrical portion of the workpiece in the radial direction, it is common to make a V-shaped contact portion that faces the grip portion of the robot hand.
However, in this case, as shown in FIG. 1A, even if the V-shaped contact portion of the nail can securely grip the small-diameter cylindrical portion, it is indicated by a circle as shown in FIG. There is a problem that the workpiece hits the corner of the V-shape and scratches the surface or makes the grip unstable.

そこで、ワークの円筒形部分の直径が大きく異なる場合は、従来は、爪寸法の異なるロボットハンドに全体を交換していた。しかしこの場合、ロボットの作動を停止してロボットハンドを交換するため時間ロスが発生し、ロボットの稼働率が低下する。   Therefore, when the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the workpiece is greatly different, conventionally, the whole is replaced with a robot hand having a different claw size. In this case, however, the operation of the robot is stopped and the robot hand is replaced, so that a time loss occurs and the operation rate of the robot decreases.

そこで、ワークの円筒形部分の直径が異なる場合でも、ロボットハンド全体を交換する必要のない、ロボットハンドが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1)。   Therefore, there has been proposed a robot hand that does not require replacement of the entire robot hand even when the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the workpiece is different (for example, Patent Document 1).

特許第4060839号公報、「作業ロボット用ハンド装置」Japanese Patent No. 4060839, "Hand device for work robot"

上述したように、把持部の形状が異なる複数種類のワークを別々に把持する場合に、従来はロボットハンド又はその爪を交換することで異なるワークに対応していた。
しかし、この場合、ロボットの作動を中断し、ロボットハンド又はその爪を交換する必要があり、ロボットの稼働率が低下する問題点があった。またこの場合、信号線、電力線、空圧配管なども分離できなければならず、機構が複雑になり高価となる。また、ロボットハンドの重量が重くなる問題点があった。
As described above, when a plurality of types of workpieces having different gripping portion shapes are gripped separately, conventionally, the robot hand or its claws are replaced to cope with different workpieces.
However, in this case, it is necessary to interrupt the operation of the robot and replace the robot hand or its claws, resulting in a problem that the operation rate of the robot is lowered. In this case, it is also necessary to be able to separate the signal line, the power line, the pneumatic piping, etc., and the mechanism becomes complicated and expensive. In addition, there is a problem that the weight of the robot hand becomes heavy.

また、特許文献1は、ロボットハンド全体を交換しないために複雑な機構を用いている。そのため、ロボットハンドが重くなり、ロボットハンドによる可搬重量が小さく、移動速度が低下する問題点があった。また、複雑な機構のため、部品数が増えて故障の発生率が上昇し、「安定した把持」が困難になる問題点があった。   Patent Document 1 uses a complicated mechanism in order not to replace the entire robot hand. For this reason, there is a problem that the robot hand becomes heavy, the loadable weight by the robot hand is small, and the moving speed is lowered. In addition, due to the complicated mechanism, the number of parts increases, the failure rate increases, and there is a problem that “stable gripping” becomes difficult.

本発明は、上述した問題点を解決するために創案されたものである。すなわち、本発明の目的は、直径の異なる円筒形部分を有するワークの前記円筒形部分をその径方向に把持する場合に、円筒形部分の直径が大きく異なっても、作動を中断することなくかつ部品を交換することなく、ワークの把持部を安定して把持することができるロボットハンドを提供することにある。   The present invention has been developed to solve the above-described problems. That is, the object of the present invention is to hold the cylindrical portion of a workpiece having cylindrical portions having different diameters in the radial direction without interrupting the operation even if the diameter of the cylindrical portion is greatly different. An object of the present invention is to provide a robot hand that can stably grip a workpiece gripping part without replacing parts.

本発明によれば、直径の異なる円筒形部分を有するワークの前記円筒形部分をその径方向に把持するロボットハンドであって、
長手方向に延びる1対の爪と、
前記爪の間隔を開位置と閉位置の間で開閉するチャック装置と、を備え、
前記爪は、前記チャック装置により開閉される開閉部材と、該開閉部材に爪の長手方向に伸縮可能に取り付けられた先端部材と、該先端部材を爪の長手方向に伸縮させるアクチュエータとを有しており、
前記開閉部材と先端部材は、前記円筒形部分に接触してこれを把持する互いに交差する把持面をそれぞれ有する、ことを特徴とするロボットハンドが提供される。
According to the present invention, there is provided a robot hand that grips the cylindrical portion of a workpiece having cylindrical portions having different diameters in a radial direction thereof,
A pair of nails extending longitudinally;
A chuck device for opening and closing the gap between the claw between an open position and a closed position,
The claw includes an opening / closing member that is opened and closed by the chuck device, a tip member attached to the opening / closing member so as to be stretchable in the longitudinal direction of the claw, and an actuator for extending and contracting the tip member in the longitudinal direction of the claw. And
The open / close member and the tip member each have a gripping surface intersecting each other for contacting and gripping the cylindrical portion, and a robot hand is provided.

本発明の実施形態によれば、ワークの把持時において、前記1対の爪に作用する反力を検出する力センサを備える。   According to the embodiment of the present invention, a force sensor is provided that detects a reaction force acting on the pair of claws when the workpiece is gripped.

また、本発明の実施形態によれば、前記チャック装置は、前記1対の爪の長手方向末端部を平行に保持して片持支持する1対の片持支持部材と、該片持支持部材の相対位置を連続的に変化させるアクチュエータとを備える。   According to an embodiment of the present invention, the chuck device includes a pair of cantilever support members that cantilever-support the longitudinal ends of the pair of claws in parallel, and the cantilever support members. And an actuator for continuously changing the relative position of the actuator.

また、本発明の別の実施形態によれば、前記チャック装置は、前記1対の爪を単一の回転軸を中心に回転駆動するアクチュエータを備える。   According to another embodiment of the present invention, the chuck device includes an actuator that rotationally drives the pair of claws about a single rotation axis.

上記本発明の構成によれば、爪が、開閉部材、先端部材、及びアクチュエータを有するので、円筒形部分の直径が大きく異なっても、先端部材を爪の長手方向に伸縮させることで、作動を中断することなくかつ部品を交換することなく、開閉部材に対する先端部材の長手方向位置を調整することができる。
また、開閉部材と先端部材は、ワークの円筒形部分に接触してこれを把持する互いに交差する把持面をそれぞれ有するので、4つの把持面でワークの円筒形部分を囲むように把持することで、円筒形部分の直径が大きく異なっても、ワークの把持部を安定して把持することができる。
According to the configuration of the present invention, since the claw has the opening / closing member, the tip member, and the actuator, even if the diameter of the cylindrical portion is greatly different, the tip member can be expanded and contracted in the longitudinal direction of the claw to operate the claw. The longitudinal position of the tip member with respect to the opening / closing member can be adjusted without interruption and without exchanging parts.
Further, since the opening / closing member and the tip member each have a gripping surface that intersects and grips the cylindrical portion of the workpiece, each of the opening / closing member and the tip member can be gripped by surrounding the cylindrical portion of the workpiece with the four gripping surfaces. Even if the diameters of the cylindrical portions are greatly different, the workpiece gripping portion can be stably gripped.

従って、(1)多様な直径の円筒形部分を安定的に把持でき、(2)軽量なロボットハンドとすることで、ロボットハンドの可搬重量を増加でき、かつ移動速度も上昇できる。さらに、4つの把持面でワークの円筒形部分を囲むように把持するので、ワークを傷つけることなく把持できる。
Accordingly, (1) cylindrical portions having various diameters can be stably gripped, and (2) a lightweight robot hand can increase the loadable weight of the robot hand and increase the moving speed. Furthermore, since it grips so that the cylindrical part of a workpiece | work may be enclosed with four holding surfaces, it can hold | grip without damaging a workpiece | work.

By providing the force sensor 15, a reaction force acting on the pair of claws 12 when the workpiece 1 is gripped, that is, a force acting on the workpiece gripping portion 5 a is detected, and the pair of claws 12 are moved at that position. Can be stopped.

図4(A)に示すように、1対の爪12は、それぞれ開閉部材12a、先端部材12b、及びアクチュエータ12cからなる。   As shown in FIG. 4A, the pair of claws 12 includes an opening / closing member 12a, a tip member 12b, and an actuator 12c.

開閉部材12aは、チャック装置14によりこの図で左右に開閉される。また、この例で、開閉部材12aの先端側に爪の長手方向に延びる嵌合孔が設けられている。
先端部材12bは、開閉部材12aに爪の長手方向(図で上下方向)に伸縮可能に取り付けられている。すなわち、この例で先端部材12bの末端部(図で上側)が開閉部材12aの嵌合孔に僅かな隙間で嵌り、先端部材12bを片持ち支持するようになっている。
アクチュエータ12cは、先端部材12bを爪の長手方向に伸縮させる。

In FIG. 4, the opening / closing member 12 a and the tip member 12 b have gripping surfaces 13 a and 13 b that intersect each other. The grip surfaces 13a and 13b come into contact with and hold the cylindrical portion 5 of the workpiece.
The gripping surfaces 13a and 13b are flat in this example, but may be arcuate concave surfaces or convex surfaces.

把持面13a,13bは、対向する面で正方形を作るのが好ましいが,ワーク1の質量が小さく場合は、緩やかな角度のひし形でも良い。   The gripping surfaces 13a and 13b are preferably formed in a square shape on the opposing surfaces, but may be diamonds with a moderate angle when the mass of the workpiece 1 is small.

図5は、図3のロボットハンドの作動説明図である。この図において、(A)は直径の小さい円筒形部分を把持する場合、(B)は直径の大きい円筒形部分を把持する場合を示している。   FIG. 5 is an operation explanatory diagram of the robot hand of FIG. In this figure, (A) shows a case where a cylindrical portion having a small diameter is gripped, and (B) shows a case where a cylindrical portion having a large diameter is gripped.

本発明のロボットハンド10は、以下のように作動する。
(1) 把持するワーク1の円筒形部分5aをワーク情報(計画値、もしくは別途計測した値)に基づき特定する。
(2) 円筒形部分5aの直径に合わせて、先端部材12bと開閉部材12aの位置を決める。
例えば、円筒形部分5aの外径がV字部角部に当たらないようにし、可能な限り、対向する面13a,13bで取り囲む様にする。
(3) ロボットアームで円筒形部分5aの直径を爪12が挟める位置にロボットハンド10を移動させる。
(4) 開閉チャック14を閉じて、円筒形部分5aを把持する。
(5) 作業が終了したら、開閉チャック14を開いて、把持を解除する。
The robot hand 10 of the present invention operates as follows.
(1) The cylindrical portion 5a of the workpiece 1 to be gripped is specified based on the workpiece information (planned value or separately measured value).
(2) The positions of the tip member 12b and the opening / closing member 12a are determined in accordance with the diameter of the cylindrical portion 5a.
For example, the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 5a is prevented from hitting the corner of the V-shaped portion, and is surrounded by the opposing surfaces 13a and 13b as much as possible.
(3) The robot hand 10 is moved to a position where the claw 12 can pinch the diameter of the cylindrical portion 5a with the robot arm.
(4) The open / close chuck 14 is closed and the cylindrical portion 5a is gripped.
(5) When the work is completed, the opening / closing chuck 14 is opened to release the grip.

図6は、本発明によるロボットハンドの第2実施形態図である。
この例において、チャック装置14は、1対の爪12を単一の回転軸14cを中心に回転駆動するアクチュエータ14dを備える。アクチュエータ14dは、例えば直動の電動シリンダ、ラック&ピニオン機構とモータ、ネジ棒とモータ等である。
この構成により、アクチュエータ14dにより、1対の爪12を単一の回転軸14cを中心に揺動させて、ハサミのように、1対の爪12の間隔を「開位置」と「閉位置」の間で開閉することができる。
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the robot hand according to the present invention.
In this example, the chuck device 14 includes an actuator 14d that drives the pair of claws 12 to rotate about a single rotation shaft 14c. The actuator 14d is, for example, a linear motorized cylinder, a rack and pinion mechanism and a motor, a screw rod and a motor, or the like.
With this configuration, the actuator 14d causes the pair of claws 12 to swing around the single rotation shaft 14c, and the distance between the pair of claws 12 is “open position” and “closed position” like scissors. Can be opened and closed between.

上述した本発明の構成によれば、爪12が、開閉部材12a、先端部材12b、及びアクチュエータ12cを有するので、円筒形部分5aの直径が大きく異なっても、先端部材12bを爪の長手方向に伸縮させることで、作動を中断することなくかつ部品を交換することなく、開閉部材12aに対する先端部材12bの長手方向位置を調整することができる。
また、開閉部材12aと先端部材12bは、ワーク1の円筒形部分5aに接触してこれを把持する互いに交差する把持面13a,13bをそれぞれ有するので、4つの把持面13a,13bでワーク1の円筒形部分5aを囲むように把持することで、円筒形部分5aの直径が大きく異なっても、ワーク1の把持部5aを安定して把持することができる。
According to the configuration of the present invention described above, the claw 12 includes the opening / closing member 12a, the tip member 12b, and the actuator 12c. Therefore, even if the diameter of the cylindrical portion 5a is greatly different, the tip member 12b is moved in the longitudinal direction of the claw. By extending and contracting, the longitudinal position of the tip member 12b with respect to the opening / closing member 12a can be adjusted without interrupting the operation and without exchanging components.
Further, since the opening / closing member 12a and the tip member 12b have gripping surfaces 13a and 13b that are in contact with and hold the cylindrical portion 5a of the workpiece 1, the four gripping surfaces 13a and 13b respectively By gripping so as to surround the cylindrical portion 5a, the grip portion 5a of the workpiece 1 can be stably gripped even if the diameter of the cylindrical portion 5a is greatly different.

従って、(1)多様な直径の円筒形部分5aを安定的に把持でき、(2)軽量なロボットハンド10とすることで、ロボットハンド10の可搬重量を増加でき、かつ移動速度も上昇できる。さらに、4つの把持面13a,13bでワーク1の円筒形部分5aを囲むように把持するので、ワーク1を傷つけることなく把持できる。   Accordingly, (1) the cylindrical portion 5a having various diameters can be stably grasped, and (2) the weight of the robot hand 10 can be increased and the moving speed can be increased by using the lightweight robot hand 10. . Furthermore, since the gripping is performed so as to surround the cylindrical portion 5a of the workpiece 1 with the four gripping surfaces 13a and 13b, the workpiece 1 can be gripped without being damaged.
