Description
【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は部品の計数機構に係り、短い時間間隔で連続的
に生産された部品をその製造工程に影響与えることなく
所定個数毎に仕分ける機構に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a parts counting mechanism, and more particularly, to a mechanism for sorting parts continuously produced at short time intervals into predetermined numbers without affecting the manufacturing process.
従来、例えば０．２秒毎に１個前後の高速度で連続して
生産される半導体装置、電子部品等の部品（以下ワーク
と呼ぶ）を、所定個数計数して区分し、容器詰等する場
合、計数工程は光学的あるいは電気的方式等により高速
化可能であったが、計数後所定個数単位にワークを−ま
とめにするには機械的方式に頼らざるを得す、高速化が
困難で信頼性も低いという欠点があった。Conventionally, semiconductor devices, electronic components, and other parts (hereinafter referred to as "workpieces") that are produced continuously at a high speed of, for example, one piece every 0.2 seconds, are counted and sorted into predetermined numbers, and then packed into containers. In this case, it was possible to speed up the counting process using an optical or electrical method, but in order to group the workpieces into a predetermined number of pieces after counting, it was necessary to rely on a mechanical method, which made it difficult to speed up the counting process. It also had the disadvantage of low reliability.
そのため、一度多数のワークを−まとめとして取出し、
その部品群から所定個数を別途計数して仕分ける方式が
とられていた。Therefore, once a large number of workpieces are taken out as a group,
A method was adopted in which a predetermined number of parts were separately counted and sorted from the group of parts.
このため部品の製造と計数とが別ラインとなり工数を増
えるという欠点があった。This has the disadvantage that manufacturing and counting of parts are done on separate lines, which increases the number of man-hours.
本発明の目的は上記従来例の欠点を排除し製造ラインと
計数・仕分はラインが連続一体化された状態でワークを
計数分離する装置を提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional example and provide an apparatus for counting and separating workpieces in a state where a production line and a counting/sorting line are continuously integrated.
・本発明の要点は製造ラインから供給されるワークを
高速で移動するコンベア上に順次のせ、該コンベア上で
計数して所定個数に達すると直ちにコンベアを低速移動
とし見かけの１個あたりの処理時間を機械的分離方式に
追従可能な程度まで長くすることにより製造工程と計数
工程との一体化を可能としたことにある。・The key point of the present invention is to sequentially place the workpieces supplied from the production line on a conveyor that moves at high speed, and when they are counted on the conveyor and reach a predetermined number, the conveyor is immediately moved at a low speed to reduce the apparent processing time per piece. By making the length long enough to follow the mechanical separation method, it is possible to integrate the manufacturing process and the counting process.
本発明の実施例を第１図に示す。An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG.
前工程（製造ライン）７から矢印９の如く供給されたワ
ーク１は、駆動モータ５によって駆動されるコンベア２
上を矢印１０の方向に搬送され検出器３によって検知さ
れて計数制御部４で計数される。A workpiece 1 supplied from a previous process (manufacturing line) 7 as shown by an arrow 9 is transferred to a conveyor 2 driven by a drive motor 5.
They are conveyed on the top in the direction of arrow 10, detected by detector 3, and counted by counting control section 4.
その後ワークはコンベア上を搬送されコンベアの先端部
から矢印１１の如く次工程ライン８へ供給される。Thereafter, the workpiece is conveyed on the conveyor and is supplied to the next process line 8 as indicated by an arrow 11 from the tip of the conveyor.
通常コンベアはワーク間に十分な間隔を有する様に比較
的高速で動いている。Conveyors usually move at relatively high speeds to provide sufficient spacing between works.
いま検出器３および計数制御部４で所定の数のワークを
検知計数すると、計数部はリセットされて次の所定数ま
での計数を開始する。When the detector 3 and the counting control section 4 detect and count a predetermined number of workpieces, the counting section is reset and starts counting up to the next predetermined number.
この時所定数検知終了と同時にベルトコンベア速度を通
常時の２分の１ないし４分の１程度に遅くすることによ
りワークの速度が遅くなる。At this time, at the same time as the predetermined number of detections are completed, the speed of the workpiece is slowed down by slowing down the belt conveyor speed to about one-half to one-fourth of the normal speed.
この時排出部６が作動を開始しまず矢印１２の方向に次
いで矢印１３の方向に動いてコンベア２上から所定数の
部品のうちの残部のワーク１を次工程ライン８へ供給し
その後もとへ復帰する。At this time, the discharge section 6 starts operating and moves first in the direction of arrow 12 and then in the direction of arrow 13 to supply the remaining workpieces 1 of the predetermined number of parts from the conveyor 2 to the next process line 8, and then return them to the next process line 8. Return to.
次工程ラインはこの間に次の所定個数を受は入れる準備
をしておりその準備が完了すると再びコンベア速度が高
速に戻る。During this time, the next process line is preparing to receive the next predetermined number of items, and when the preparation is complete, the conveyor speed returns to high speed again.
なおこの間もワーク１は前工程ライン７より連続して供
給され且つ計数されているため、検出器３よりコンベア
先端部までの長さは次工程ラインの準備が完了するまで
の時間分の数のワークを滞溜させるに十分な長さを必要
とする。During this time, workpieces 1 are continuously supplied and counted from the previous process line 7, so the length from the detector 3 to the tip of the conveyor is equal to the number of hours required to complete preparation for the next process line. It needs to be long enough to hold the workpiece.
またワーク１は前工程ライン７より連続して供給されて
いるためコンベア２の低速運行中には轟然それらの間隔
が小さくなり、高速運行に移るとこれら間隔の小さいワ
ークを処理するに要する時間が短かくなるが、先にも述
べた如く計数部はかなりの高速応等性を有するため十分
追従可能である。In addition, since the workpieces 1 are continuously supplied from the pre-process line 7, the intervals between them decrease dramatically when the conveyor 2 is running at low speed, and when the conveyor 2 moves to high-speed operation, the time required to process the workpieces with small intervals becomes shorter. Although it is shorter, as mentioned earlier, the counting section has a fairly high-speed response, so it can be followed sufficiently.
更に注意すべき点はこのワーク間の間隔の小さい区間内
に次の所定数番目のワークが相当する（すなわち間隔の
小さい区間内のワークを所定個微目と計数する）と、コ
ンベア速度を低速とした場合にも見かけの１個あたりの
処理時間は前工程ライン７のそれと同じで速いため、排
出部の追従が不可能となるおそれがある点である。Another point to note is that if the next predetermined number of works corresponds to the section with small intervals between the works (that is, the workpieces in the section with small intervals are counted as a predetermined number), the conveyor speed will be reduced to a low speed. Even in this case, the apparent processing time per piece is the same as that of the pre-process line 7 and is fast, so there is a possibility that the discharge section will not be able to follow the process.
このためコンベアの長さ及び速度については綿密な検討
を要し、例えば排出部が作動するときは必ずワーク間の
間隔が広いときにあたるようにする等の配慮が望ましい
。For this reason, the length and speed of the conveyor must be carefully considered. For example, it is desirable to ensure that when the discharge section operates, it always hits when the distance between the works is wide.
なお本実施例において、
（１）検出器３には光電式、電磁式、静電式等の近接ス
イッチあるいはマイクロスインチ等の機械的スイッチが
利用できる。In this embodiment, (1) The detector 3 can be a photoelectric, electromagnetic, electrostatic, or other type proximity switch, or a microsinch or other mechanical switch.
（２）排出部の運動機構にはエアシリンダあるいはラッ
クピニオン等直線運動機構が利用できる。(2) A linear motion mechanism such as an air cylinder or a rack and pinion can be used as the motion mechanism of the discharge section.

。(3) Furthermore, the rapid speed change method of the conveyor can be realized by switching between two types of transmissions using a clutch, or by using a pulse motor (stepping motor) or a surf motor for the conveyor drive motor 5.
本発明によれば、製造工程から部品を連続供給しても製
造工程と計数・仕分は工程との間で部品の搬送を停止さ
せることなく製造工程からの連続した部品供給と対応し
て連続的に計数分離を続けて行くことができるので従来
技術に比べ、より迅速に部品の計数分離を行なうことが
できるという効果がある。According to the present invention, even if parts are continuously supplied from the manufacturing process, the counting and sorting can be performed continuously corresponding to the continuous supply of parts from the manufacturing process without stopping the transportation of parts between the manufacturing process and the process. Since counting and separation can be carried out continuously, the counting and separation of parts can be carried out more quickly than in the prior art.
