The present invention relates to a vehicle assembly line for the purpose of self-containment.

従来の車両の組立ラインとしては、メインラインの外のサブラインにより部品を集約化しサブアセンブリした状態でメインラインに供給し、メインライン上で自動機により組付ける自動化ゾーンと、そのライン下流位置にて、人間の手作業による人手組付ゾーンとを設け、メインラインの末端部にて組立検査を行うようにしたものがある。（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。
米国特許第４，６８３，６５１号明細書 In the conventional vehicle assembly line, parts are gathered by sub-lines outside the main line and supplied to the main line in a sub-assembled state. In some cases, a human manual assembly zone is provided, and assembly inspection is performed at the end of the main line. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
US Pat. No. 4,683,651

この様な、従来の車両の組立ラインでは、複数の組立工程又はゾーンを経た後、検査工程で外観検査および機能検査が行われ、不具合点がある場合には、組立ラインを出て共用の修理工程へ送り、補修されて完成品とする手法が一般的である。   In such a conventional vehicle assembly line, after passing through a plurality of assembly processes or zones, appearance inspection and functional inspection are performed in the inspection process. A technique is generally sent to the process and repaired into a finished product.

また、車両の組立ラインは、コンピュータネットワークによる組立情報の共有化が発達し、検査工程および修理工程にコンピュータ等で構成されたデータ入力装置およびデータ表示装置を備え、車両の不具合点を検査担当者がデータ入力装置から入力し、修理工程の表示装置に不具合点が表示され、修理工程では表示された不具合点に基づいて修理を迅速に実行するようにしたものも考えられている。
しかし、従来の車両組立ラインは、組立ラインを出た後に設けられた完成車検査部門で外観、機能の検査を行い、発生した不具合点を共用の修理工程で修理する構成のため、外観、機能の検査で多くの不具合点が発生するような場合、例えば組立ラインの初期段階での不具合点が発生するような場合には、修理工程の負担が膨大となってしまう問題がある。 In addition, the assembly line of vehicles has been developed to share assembly information through a computer network.

また、前記補修部２２では、ここで修理しないと、後工程で影響の出る項目を完全に修理する。なお、所定の時間（〜５分程度）以内に補修が出切る出来ないの判断に基づいて補修するか否かを決める。 The inspection unit 21 performs an inspection that can be performed without running the vehicle. This type of inspection is called “static inspection”.
In addition, the repair unit 22 completely repairs items that are affected in the subsequent process unless repair is performed here. Whether or not to repair is determined based on the judgment that the repair cannot be completed within a predetermined time (about 5 minutes).

図１における内装ゾーン３０、下回り艤装ゾーン４０及び外装ゾーン５０のゾーン内構成は、図３の通線・伝達艤装ゾーン２０と同様であるから、説明を省略する。   The in-zone configurations of the interior zone 30, the lower armored zone 40, and the exterior zone 50 in FIG. 1 are the same as the line / transmission armored zone 20 in FIG.

図４は本発明に係る車両の組立ラインの具体例を示す図であり、矢印（１）の如く車体１１を、不図示の塗装工程からオーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ１により搬送し組立ライン１０へ投入し、オーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ１の高さを変化させて車体下面の取付け作業を行い、次に床上コンベアであるスラットコンベア上で作業者が車体に配管や補器等の部品を順次組付けを行う通線・伝達艤装ゾーン２０を構成する。通線・伝達艤装ゾーン２０の後部の検査部２１でゾーン検査を実施し、補修部２２でゾーン補修を実施する。   FIG. 4 is a view showing a specific example of the vehicle assembly line according to the present invention. As shown by the arrow (1), the vehicle body 11 is transported from the painting process (not shown) by the overhead conveyor OH1 and put into the assembly line 10 to overhead. Change the height of the conveyor OH1 to install the lower surface of the car body, then on the slat conveyor, which is an on-floor conveyor, the worker sequentially assembles parts such as pipes and auxiliary equipment to the car body. A zone 20 is configured. A zone inspection is performed at the inspection section 21 at the rear of the communication line / transmission equipment zone 20, and a zone repair is performed at the repair section 22.

次にオーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ２に移し替え車体を内装ゾーン３０に送り、スラットコンベアを搬送手段とした内装ゾーン３０で前述したインパネなどの内装部品を順次組付ける。内装ゾーン３０の後部の検査部３１でゾーン検査を実施し、補修部３２でゾーン補修を実施する。   Next, it is transferred to the overhead conveyor OH2, and the vehicle body is sent to the interior zone 30, and the interior parts such as the instrument panel described above are sequentially assembled in the interior zone 30 using the slat conveyor as a conveying means. A zone inspection is performed at the inspection section 31 at the rear of the interior zone 30, and a zone repair is performed at the repair section 32.

内装ゾーン３０の出口で車体１１をオーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ３に移し替える。下回り艤装ゾーン４０で前述したエンジンなどの下回り部品を順次組付けるが、このときには車体１１がオーバヘッドコンベアで吊り上げられているため、作業者が車体の下に自由に入ることができる。従って、下回り艤装ゾーン４０では、下回り部品の組付けが能率良く行うことができる。下回り艤装ゾーン４０の後部の検査部４１でゾーン検査を実施し、補修部４２でゾーン補修を実施する。   At the exit of the interior zone 30, the vehicle body 11 is transferred to the overhead conveyor OH3. The lower parts such as the engine described above are sequentially assembled in the lower armoring zone 40. At this time, since the vehicle body 11 is lifted by the overhead conveyor, an operator can freely enter the vehicle body. Therefore, in the lower armored zone 40, the lower parts can be assembled efficiently. A zone inspection is performed by the inspection unit 41 at the rear of the lower armored zone 40, and a zone repair is performed by the repair unit 42.

次の外装ゾーン５０では、オーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ３に吊下搬送されている状態で、タイヤを装着する工程５０ａとスラットコンベア上に載せ替えて車体１１に前述のドアやウインドガラスなどの外装部品を組付ける。外装ゾーン５０の後部の検査部５１でゾーン検査を実施し、補修部５２でゾーン補修を実施する。
その後、オーバヘッドドンベアＯＨ４に移し替え、複合保証ゾーン６０で液注入作業や、バッテリの搭載、ガソリンの注入、電装検査、エンジン始動確認等の検査及び補修を行う。 In the next exterior zone 50, while being suspended and conveyed on the overhead conveyor OH3, the tire is mounted on the step 50a and the slat conveyor, and the exterior parts such as the door and window glass are assembled to the vehicle body 11. . The zone inspection is performed by the inspection unit 51 at the rear of the exterior zone 50, and the zone repair is performed by the repair unit 52.
Thereafter, the operation is transferred to the overhead Don Bear OH4, and in the combined guarantee zone 60, liquid injection work, battery installation, gasoline injection, electrical equipment inspection, engine start confirmation, and other inspections and repairs are performed.

本実施例では、図４に示す通り、ゾーン２０と３０間、ゾーン４０と５０間、及びゾーン５０と６０間に検査、補修の時間変動によるラインタクトを吸収するためのストレージ機能を持たせており、オーバヘッドコンベアＯＨ２，ＯＨ３，ＯＨ４に添えた（２）、（３）、（４）がそれに相当する。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a storage function is provided for absorbing line tact due to time variation of inspection and repair between zones 20 and 30, between zones 40 and 50, and between zones 50 and 60. (2), (3), and (4) attached to the overhead conveyors OH2, OH3, and OH4 correspond thereto.

図５は本発明に係るゾーン検査工程およびコンピュータＬＡＮネットワーク概要の説明図であり、各ゾーンの検査部２１，３１，４１，５１で実施するゾーン検査は、検査に際して「組付仕様書」を、例えば車体番号等を入力情報としてバーコードリーダでホストコンピュータのメモリから読み取り、読み取った組付仕様をタッチパネル等の入力／表示手段に表示し、組付仕様に基づいて検査を行う。   FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the zone inspection process and the computer LAN network outline according to the present invention, and the zone inspection performed by the inspection units 21, 31, 41, 51 of each zone is the "assembly specifications" For example, the body number or the like is read as input information from the memory of the host computer by a bar code reader, the read assembly specifications are displayed on an input / display means such as a touch panel, and inspection is performed based on the assembly specifications.

検査結果は不具合点とともにタッチパネル、又は不図示のキーボードからデータ入力され、入力されたデータは他の全ての生産関連部門にフィードバックされて表示手段（ディスプレイ）に表示される。なお、図中、ゾーンＡ〜ゾーンＤは図２の各ゾーン２０，３０，４０，５０に対応するもので、後述の図７で表記した機能別ゾーンＡ〜機能別ゾーンＤに対応する。   The inspection result is inputted with data from a touch panel or a keyboard (not shown) together with the defective points, and the inputted data is fed back to all other production related departments and displayed on a display means (display). In the figure, zones A to D correspond to the zones 20, 30, 40 and 50 in FIG. 2, and correspond to the function-specific zones A to D described in FIG.

補修係は、「組付仕様書」をバーコードリーダで読み取るとともに、検査部２１，３１，４１，５１から供給される不具合情報をタッチパネル等の入力／表示手段に表示し、各ゾーンの内で補修できるか否かの判断を行い、補修可能の事項について判定の修理基準に基づいて補修部２２，３２，４２，５２にて修理を実行し、修理データと未修理データをタッチパネルから入力して自ゾーン内の表示手段や他の全ての生産関連部門の表示手段に表示する。   The repair staff reads the “Assembly specifications” with a barcode reader and displays the defect information supplied from the inspection units 21, 31, 41, 51 on the input / display means such as a touch panel, and within each zone. Judgment is made as to whether or not repair is possible, repairs are carried out by repair parts 22, 32, 42, and 52 based on the repair criteria for determination of repairable items, and repair data and unrepaired data are input from the touch panel. It is displayed on the display means in its own zone and the display means of all other production related departments.

このように、機能別ゾーンの最終工程（ｎ工程）の後に自ゾーンの組立ての検査と不具合点の修理を行うゾーン検査工程を備えたので、自ゾーン内の組立てに対応する品質保証を実行し、補修できない項目を複合保証ゾーン６０等の必要部門へ提供することができる。   In this way, since the zone inspection process for inspecting the assembly of the own zone and repairing defects is provided after the final process (n process) of the function-specific zone, the quality assurance corresponding to the assembly in the own zone is executed. Items that cannot be repaired can be provided to necessary departments such as the composite guarantee zone 60.

また、自ゾーン内で発生した不具合点のうち、修理可能なものは修理を行い、修理データを自ゾーンの組立工程にもフィードバックするので、修理内容を直ちに組立てに反映することができる。   Also, repairable ones of defects that occurred in the own zone are repaired, and the repair data is fed back to the assembly process of the own zone, so that the repair contents can be immediately reflected in the assembly.

さらに、ドレスアップ工程からフィードバックされる修理データに基づいて修理内容を自ゾーンの組立てに反映できるので、自ゾーン内の品質を保証することができる。   Furthermore, since the repair contents can be reflected in the assembly of the own zone based on the repair data fed back from the dress-up process, the quality in the own zone can be guaranteed.
