[搬送裝置之動作及作用效果] [Operation and effect of the transport device]

繼而,一面參照圖13至圖17,一面說明本實施形態2之搬送裝置之動作及作用效果。再者,以下之動作係藉由控制裝置14之運算部14a讀出記憶部14b中保存之程式而執行。 Next, the operation and operational effects of the transport apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 17 . Further, the following operations are executed by the calculation unit 14a of the control device 14 reading the program stored in the storage unit 14b.

首先,一面參照圖13至圖16,一面說明搬送裝置101保持被載置於桌台上之容器102之動作。 First, the operation of the transport device 101 holding the container 102 placed on the table will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 16 .

圖16係表示本實施形態2之搬送裝置之動作之一例之流程圖。 Fig. 16 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the conveying apparatus of the second embodiment.

如圖16所示,控制裝置14獲取未圖示之攝影裝置所拍攝之影像資 訊,並自所獲取之影像資訊中,獲取被載置於桌台等之容器102之位置資訊(步驟S301)。 As shown in Fig. 16, the control device 14 acquires image information captured by a photographing device (not shown), and acquires position information of the container 102 placed on the table or the like from the acquired image information (step S301).

繼而,控制裝置14基於步驟S301中獲取之容器102之位置資訊,使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作,以使其等位於容器102之上方(步驟S302)。 Then, based on the position information of the container 102 acquired in step S301, the control device 14 operates the first arm 13A and the second arm 13B so as to be positioned above the container 102 (step S302).

具體而言,控制裝置14以使第1手部18A與第2手部18B夾住容器102而對向之方式,使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作。此時,控制裝置14亦可以使第1手部18A中之右側之爪部10A與第2手部18B中之上表面90B之前端部夾住容器102而對向之方式,使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作。 Specifically, the control device 14 operates the first arm 13A and the second arm 13B so that the first hand 18A and the second hand 18B sandwich the container 102. At this time, the control device 14 may cause the first arm 13A so that the right side claw portion 10A of the first hand portion 18A and the front end portion of the upper surface 90B of the second hand portion 18B sandwich the container 102. The second arm 13B operates.

繼而,控制裝置14以使第2手部18B中之本體部(第2保持部)9B之前端部***至容器102之下表面與桌台之上表面(第1載置面)之間(步驟S303)之方式,使第2臂13B進行動作。繼而,控制裝置14以使第1手部18A與第2手部18B接近(步驟S304)之方式,使第1臂13A或第2臂13B進行動作,結束本程式。再者,控制裝置14於執行步驟S304之處理時,亦可以使第2手部18B之第3抵接面92B與容器102之外周面抵接之方式,使第2臂13B進行動作。 Then, the control device 14 is such that the front end portion of the main body portion (second holding portion) 9B of the second hand portion 18B is inserted between the lower surface of the container 102 and the upper surface (the first loading surface) of the table (steps) In the manner of S303), the second arm 13B is operated. Then, the control device 14 operates the first arm 13A or the second arm 13B so that the first hand 18A and the second hand 18B approach each other (step S304), and ends the routine. In addition, when the control device 14 performs the process of step S304, the second arm 13B may be operated such that the third abutting surface 92B of the second hand portion 18B abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the container 102.

藉此,第2手部18B之本體部9B***容器102與桌台之上表面之間,將容器102載置於本體部9B之上表面90B。此時,容器102之外周面抵接於爪部10A之第2抵接面111A,藉此,朝向第1手部18A側之移動受到抑制。 Thereby, the body portion 9B of the second hand portion 18B is inserted between the container 102 and the upper surface of the table, and the container 102 is placed on the upper surface 90B of the body portion 9B. At this time, the outer circumferential surface of the container 102 abuts against the second abutting surface 111A of the claw portion 10A, whereby the movement toward the first hand portion 18A side is suppressed.

再者,搬送裝置101亦可構成為,在保持有容器102之狀態下,自載置容器102之場所自走至搬送容器102之場所(例如顧客所處之桌台等)為止。 In addition, the transport apparatus 101 may be configured such that the container 102 is transported from the place where the container 102 is placed to the place where the transport container 102 is placed (for example, a table on which the customer is located).

此時,控制裝置14亦可以使第2手部18B之第3抵接面92B與容器102之外周面抵接之方式,使第1臂13A及/或第2臂13B進行動作。藉此,容器102之與第2抵接面111A位於相反側之外周面抵接於第2手部18B之第3抵接面92B,藉此,朝向第2手部18B側之移動受到抑制。因此,容器102被第2抵接面111A與第3抵接面92B夾持,因此搬送裝置101可穩定地搬送容器102。 At this time, the control device 14 may operate the first arm 13A and/or the second arm 13B so that the third contact surface 92B of the second hand portion 18B comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the container 102. As a result, the outer circumferential surface of the container 102 on the opposite side from the second abutting surface 111A abuts against the third abutting surface 92B of the second hand portion 18B, whereby the movement toward the second hand portion 18B side is suppressed. Therefore, since the container 102 is sandwiched by the second abutting surface 111A and the third abutting surface 92B, the transport device 101 can stably transport the container 102.

繼而,一面參照圖13至圖17,一面說明搬送裝置101將所保持之容器102載置於桌台105上之動作。 Next, the operation of the transport apparatus 101 to mount the held container 102 on the table 105 will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 17 .

圖17係表示本實施形態2之搬送裝置之動作之另一例之流程圖。 Fig. 17 is a flow chart showing another example of the operation of the conveying apparatus of the second embodiment.

如圖17所示,控制裝置14使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作,以使由第1保持部(第1手部18A)與第2保持部(第2手部18B)所保持之容器102位於(搬送至)特定之載置面(例如桌台105之上表面;參照圖13)(步驟S401)。此時,控制裝置14亦可使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作,以使本體部9B位於桌台105之上表面附近。 As shown in FIG. 17, the control device 14 operates the first arm 13A and the second arm 13B so as to be held by the first holding portion (the first hand portion 18A) and the second holding portion (the second hand portion 18B). The container 102 is located (transferred) to a specific mounting surface (for example, the upper surface of the table 105; see FIG. 13) (step S401). At this time, the control device 14 may operate the first arm 13A and the second arm 13B such that the main body portion 9B is located near the upper surface of the table 105.

繼而,控制裝置14以使第2保持部(本體部9B)之下表面之前端部與載置面抵接(步驟S402)之方式,使第2臂13B進行動作。具體而言,控制裝置14以使本體部9B之前端部較基端部位於更下方,即,使本體部9B之主面(下表面及/或上表面)傾斜之方式,使第2臂13B進行動作。 Then, the control device 14 operates the second arm 13B so that the front end portion of the lower surface of the second holding portion (main portion 9B) abuts against the mounting surface (step S402). Specifically, the control device 14 causes the second arm 13B so that the front end portion of the main body portion 9B is located below the base end portion, that is, the main surface (lower surface and/or upper surface) of the main body portion 9B is inclined. Take action.

此時,控制裝置14亦可以使本體部9B之主面為俯角方向且為-10°以上且未達0°之角度之方式,使第2臂13B進行動作。再者,基於使容器102穩定地載置於載置面之觀點,本體部9B下表面之角度亦可為-7°以上,還可為-5°以上。 At this time, the control device 14 may operate the second arm 13B such that the main surface of the main body portion 9B is in the depression direction and is −10° or more and less than 0°. Further, the angle of the lower surface of the main body portion 9B may be -7 or more and may be -5 or more from the viewpoint of stably placing the container 102 on the mounting surface.

繼而,控制裝置14使第2臂13B進行動作,以使第2保持部釋放對容器102下表面之保持,而使容器102之下表面載置於桌台105(步驟S403),結束本程式。具體而言,控制裝置14使第2臂13B進行動作,以使第2保持部遠離第1保持部。 Then, the control device 14 operates the second arm 13B so that the second holding portion releases the holding of the lower surface of the container 102, and the lower surface of the container 102 is placed on the table 105 (step S403), and the routine is terminated. Specifically, the control device 14 operates the second arm 13B so that the second holding portion is away from the first holding portion.

此時,控制裝置14亦可在本體部9B之主面為俯角方向且維持-10°以上且未達0°之角度之狀態下,使第2臂13B進行動作。又,控制裝置14亦可使第1臂13A進行動作,以將爪部10A之第2抵接面111A維持與容器102之外周面抵接之狀態。 At this time, the control device 14 may operate the second arm 13B while the main surface of the main body portion 9B is in the depression direction and maintained at an angle of -10° or more and less than 0°. Moreover, the control device 14 can also operate the first arm 13A to maintain the second abutting surface 111A of the claw portion 10A in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the container 102.

再者,控制裝置14於釋放容器102之下表面時,亦可使第2臂13B 進行動作,以使第2臂13B在移動特定距離後、及/或經過特定時間後,變更本體部9B之主面之角度。此時,控制裝置14既可控制第2臂13B使本體部9B之主面之角度較第2臂13B之動作開始時朝俯角方向變大,亦可控制第2臂13B使本體部9B之主面之角度朝仰角方向達到0°以上。 Further, when the control device 14 releases the lower surface of the container 102, the second arm 13B may be operated to change the main body portion 9B after the second arm 13B has moved a certain distance and/or after a certain period of time has elapsed. The angle of the main face. At this time, the control device 14 can control the second arm 13B to increase the angle of the main surface of the main body portion 9B toward the depression direction when the operation of the second arm 13B is started, and can control the second arm 13B to control the main body portion 9B. The angle of the face reaches 0° or more in the direction of the elevation.

即使為如此般構成之本實施形態2之搬送裝置101,亦起到與實施形態1之搬送裝置101同樣之作用效果。 Even in the conveyance device 101 of the second embodiment configured as described above, the same effects as those of the conveyance device 101 of the first embodiment are obtained.

又,本實施形態2之搬送裝置101中,控制裝置14使第2臂13B進行動作,以使本體部9B之前端部***容器102之下表面與桌台之上表面之間,並使第1臂13A或第2臂13B進行動作,以使第1手部18A與第2手部18B接近。 Further, in the transport apparatus 101 of the second embodiment, the control unit 14 operates the second arm 13B so that the front end portion of the main body portion 9B is inserted between the lower surface of the container 102 and the upper surface of the table, and the first one is made The arm 13A or the second arm 13B operates to bring the first hand 18A closer to the second hand 18B.

藉此,容器102之外周面與爪部10A之第2抵接面111A抵接,容器102朝向第1手部18A側之移動受到抑制,從而可將容器102載置於本體部9B之上表面90B。 Thereby, the outer circumferential surface of the container 102 abuts against the second abutting surface 111A of the claw portion 10A, and the movement of the container 102 toward the first hand portion 18A side is suppressed, so that the container 102 can be placed on the upper surface of the body portion 9B. 90B.

又,本實施形態2之搬送裝置101中,控制裝置14使第1臂13A及/或第2臂13B進行動作,以使容器102之外周面與爪部10A之第2抵接面111A抵接,且與第3保持部91B之第3抵接面92B抵接。 Further, in the transport apparatus 101 of the second embodiment, the control device 14 operates the first arm 13A and/or the second arm 13B so that the outer circumferential surface of the container 102 abuts against the second abutting surface 111A of the claw portion 10A. And it abuts on the 3rd contact surface 92B of the 3rd holding part 91B.

藉此,容器102被爪部10A之第2抵接面111A與第3保持部91B之第3抵接面92B夾持,搬送裝置101可穩定地搬送容器102。 By this, the container 102 is sandwiched between the second abutting surface 111A of the claw portion 10A and the third abutting surface 92B of the third holding portion 91B, and the conveying device 101 can stably convey the container 102.

又,本實施形態2之搬送裝置101中,控制裝置14使由第1保持部及第2保持部所保持之狀態之容器102載置於桌台105之上表面時,使第1臂13A及第2臂13B進行動作,以使本體部9B之下表面與桌台105之上表面抵接。 Further, in the transport apparatus 101 of the second embodiment, when the container 102 in a state in which the first holding unit and the second holding unit are held is placed on the upper surface of the table 105, the first arm 13A and the first arm 13A are placed. The second arm 13B is operated such that the lower surface of the main body portion 9B abuts against the upper surface of the table 105.

藉此,可減小容器102與桌台105之上表面之距離,搬送裝置101可穩定地使容器102載置於桌台105之上表面。 Thereby, the distance between the container 102 and the upper surface of the table 105 can be reduced, and the conveying device 101 can stably place the container 102 on the upper surface of the table 105.

進而,本實施形態2之搬送裝置101中,控制裝置14於使容器102載置於桌台105之上表面時,在本體部9B之主面為俯角方向且維持-10°以上且未 達0°之角度之狀態下,使第2臂13B進行動作。 Further, in the transport apparatus 101 of the second embodiment, when the container 102 is placed on the upper surface of the table 105, the main surface of the main body portion 9B is in the depression direction and maintained at -10° or more and less than 0.
