As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the charger 2 is provided with a space 21 inserted into the left end portion of the automatic switching mechanism 1a, and is provided with the above-described locking cam plate 16'16 and forming a card and a non-card. In addition, the holder main body 20 is provided, and the contact pin P3, P3 (4) 1260259 tool 3 in which the charging wiring is electrically connected is provided, and the tool 3 is not specifically described, but the tool 3 is not described. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, for example, a sensor 3a, a transmission device 3b, and a wireless communication means 3c are provided, and a battery 1 and an automatic switching mechanism 1a provided therewith are provided. Hold the body 30. The holder main body 30 is configured similarly to the holder main body 20. As shown in Fig. 2, a space 31 is inserted into the right end portion of the automatic exchange mechanism 1a, and the locking cam plates 15 and 15 are provided. The locking pin 3 2 is formed in a locked and non-locked state. Further, the contact pins P4 and P4 in which the power supply wiring is electrically connected are provided. In addition, the confirmation signal of the sensor 3a or the operation signal of the transmission device 3b from the robot arm control panel 4 is performed by the wireless communication means 3c and the wireless signals of the robot arm control panel 4. As shown in Fig. 2, the charging tray 5 is provided with a cylinder 50 for causing the output shaft 51 to be infested, and the automatic exchange mechanism 1a exchanges the battery 1 from the tool 3 side to the charger 2 side, or vice versa. . The battery 1 is moved from the side of the tool 3 to the side of the charger 2 or the opposite thereof. Here, first, the battery 1 connected to the tool 3 side is interposed between the automatic exchange mechanism 1a, how to move from the tool 3 side toward the charger 2 side, and how the battery 1 attached to the charger 2 side moves to the tool side. Simply explain. First, when the battery 1 is required to be charged, the battery 1 is moved from the tool 3 side toward the charger 2 side. (5) 1260259 (1) • The state in which the battery 1 is connected to the tool 3 side (Fig. 2) In this state, the shaft body 1 1 is moved to the left side by the elastic force of the springs 1 3 and 14 to the maximum extent, The locking cam plates 1 5 and 15 engaged with the shaft body 1 1 are engaged with the engaging pins 3 2 and 3 2 . Therefore, the battery 1 is formed in a state of being firmly attached to the tool 3. Further, in this state, the battery 1 and the power supply wiring are electrically connected by the contact of the contact pins P1 and P1 and the contact pins P4 and P4. The battery 1 becomes necessary for the transmission 3b and the sensor 3a. Power supply. (2) The state in which the left end side of the automatic switching mechanism 1a is inserted into the space 2 1 (Fig. 3) This state is a ready state in which the battery 1 is connected to the charger 2 side, and the locking cam plates 15 and 15 are The case where the engagement pin 3 2, 3 2 is engaged with the engagement pin. Therefore, the battery 1 is firmly attached to the tool 3 side. (3) The state in which the battery 1 is connected to the charger 2 (Fig. 4) In this state, the shaft body 1 1 pressed against the output shaft 51 is moved to the right side at the maximum limit, and is stuck with the shaft body 1 1 The locking cam plates 15 and 15 are in a non-engaged state with the locking pins 3 2, 3 2, and the locking cam plates 1 6 and 16 form a card with the locking pins 22 and 22 State. Therefore, the battery 1 is firmly attached to the state of the charger 2 side. (4) • The state in which the tool 3 is separated from the charger 2 side (Fig. 5) The tool 3 is separated from the charger 2 side from the state of the above (3), then the -9 - (6) 1260259 battery 1 is unloaded from the tool 3. Next, and stay in the charger 2. Further, in this state, the battery 1 and the power supply wiring are electrically connected by the contact of the contact pins P2 and P2 and the contact pins P3 and P3, and the battery 1 is started to be charged. - Next, the case where the other battery 1 attached to the other charger 2 side is attached to the tool side will be described. (5) The space 3 of the holder body 30 of the tool 3 is externally inserted from the right end side of the automatic exchange mechanism 1a attached to the state of the charger 2 (refer to Figs. 4 and 5) At this time, the output shaft 50 of the cylinder 5 is retracted, and the shaft body 1 1 is moved to the left side by the elastic force of the springs i 3 and 14, and as a result, the locking cam plates 15 and 15 are formed and the locking pin 32 is formed. In the 32-engaged state, the locking cam plates 1 6 and 16 and the locking pins 2 2, 2 2 are in a non-engaged state (refer to FIG. 3). Therefore, the battery 1 is firmly attached to the tool 3 side. . In this state, when the tool 3 is separated from the charger 2, the battery 1 is detached from the rechargeable battery 2 and moved to the tool 3 to remain there. (6) ♦ From the above (1) to (5) of the robot arm system, the battery 1 can be easily exchanged in a short time. Since the robot arm system is configured as described above, since there is no electric power from the control panel 4 toward the tool 3, there is little restriction on the range of operation of the robot arm, and there is an advantage that production and the line stop are difficult to occur. -10- (7) 1260259 In the above embodiment, the battery 1 and the charger 2 are two, but it is not limited to two or more. In this case, two forms of the battery 1 can be mounted in the tool 3. [Effect of the Invention] According to the present invention, as described above, it is possible to provide a robot arm system in which the restriction range of the robot arm is small and it is difficult to cause production and stop on the line.
