[Prior Art] Conventionally, a workpiece transfer device that transports and discharges a workpiece is provided with a seat; and a transfer table that is rotatably disposed on the susceptor and that forms a plurality of workpiece accommodating recesses for receiving the article at the outer edge is It is well known that the transport table can have a plurality of workpiece discharge positions from which the workpiece receiving recess inner member can be discharged to the outside. Further, in the vicinity of the workpiece discharge position of the transfer table, a workpiece discharge means for ejecting the workpiece by air is disposed on one side of the workpiece receiving portion, and the other side of the member housing recess is provided for receiving the ejection by the workpiece ejecting hand. The workpiece discharge pipe of the workpiece. In the workpiece discharge device, the workpiece is stored in the workpiece recess of the transfer table, and during the conveyance, the workpiece is electrically detected in the workpiece storage recess, and the transfer table is electrically detected to reach the desired workpiece discharge position. At this time, it is discharged by the workpiece discharge means through the workpiece discharge pipe. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in the case of a desired workpiece discharge position, the workpiece is ejected by the workpiece means, but the workpiece cannot be reliably ejected and remains in the workpiece. The work of the work is contained in the work section. The result is that the spray is discharged into the cavity -4 - (2) 1330050. At this time, the workpiece ejecting means repeatedly performs the ejection of air. However, the workpiece remains in the workpiece housing recess, and the residual workpiece contacts the workpiece discharge tube to cause breakage. In order to avoid the above, when the workpiece remains in the workpiece housing recess, the mechanical processing must be stopped, and the continuous operation cannot be performed, and the predetermined discharge position cannot be discharged and becomes a cause of erroneous discharge. The object of the present invention is to provide a workpiece handling apparatus which can be surely discharged from the workpiece housing recess to the outside in consideration of the above problems. The workpiece conveying device of the present invention is characterized in that: the base is provided on the base, and a plurality of workpiece receiving recesses for receiving the workpiece are formed on the outer edge, and the workpiece is received from the workpiece receiving recess of the workpiece discharge position. a transfer table; one side of the workpiece receiving recessed portion disposed at the workpiece discharge position; a workpiece workpiece ejecting means for ejecting the workpiece receiving recess; and the other side of the workpiece receiving recess disposed at the workpiece discharge position for borrowing a workpiece discharge pipe that is ejected by the tool ejection means; and a detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a workpiece in the workpiece receiving recess of the workpiece discharge position, and the conveyance table and the workpiece ejection means are controlled by the control unit In the drive control, the control unit drives the workpiece discharge means based on the signal from the detection sensor, and when the workpiece cannot be ejected from the workpiece storage recess, the transfer table is moved only by a predetermined distance. In the workpiece transporting apparatus of the present invention, the control unit causes the transporting table to reciprocate only at a predetermined distance. In the workpiece transporting apparatus of the present invention, the control unit causes the transport table to move only a predetermined number of times (3) 1330050 at a predetermined distance. In the workpiece transporting apparatus of the present invention, the control unit causes the transporting table to move back and forth for a predetermined time at a predetermined distance. According to the present invention as described above, even when the workpiece ejecting means is driven to eject the workpiece from the workpiece accommodating recess, the transporting table is driven again only after moving at a predetermined distance (;: the workpiece ejecting means, the workpiece in the workpiece accommodating portion is surely [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figs. 1 to 6 show an embodiment of the workpiece transfer device of the present invention, such as Fig. 1 to Fig. As shown in Fig. 6, the workpiece transfer device 10 includes a susceptor 2 disposed in a straight direction, and rotatably disposed on the susceptor 2, and an outer edge forming a plurality of workpiece accommodating recesses la for accommodating the workpiece W. Here, the conveyance table 1 has a plurality of workpiece discharge positions P, and the workpieces W in the article storage recesses 1a are discharged from the respective workpiece discharge positions P in accordance with the electrical detection results as will be described later. In the workpiece discharge position P, a discharge port (workpiece discharge means) 2b for ejecting the workpiece W in the workpiece accommodating recess 1a on one side of the workpiece accommodating recess 1a is disposed. On the other side of the workpiece accommodating recess 1a of the discharge position P, a workpiece discharge pipe 4 for taking the workpiece W discharged from the discharge port 2b is disposed. Further, on the outer side of the edge of the conveyance table 1, a detection is provided. The position detecting device 5 of the workpiece W is received in the workpiece receiving recess 1a of the workpiece discharge position P at the workpiece discharge position P of the workpiece -6-(4) (4) 1330050. On the outer side of the edge of the conveyance table 1, a guide rail 3 for guiding the conveyance table 1 is disposed, and the detection sensor 5 is disposed in the guide rail 3. Further, on the back surface of the conveyance table 1, a concave portion for each workpiece is formed. The la connecting vacuum groove lb' forms a vacuum groove 2a communicating with the vacuum groove ib of the transfer table 1 at the susceptor 2, and the vacuum grooves lb, 2a are connected to a vacuum source not shown, for adsorbing the workpiece W and The air that is ejected from the ejection port 2b is generated by an air pressurizing mechanism (not shown), and the control unit 20 performs driving control of the air pressurizing mechanism to eject the air from the ejection port 2b. In addition, the 'transport station 1 is also performed by the control unit 20 In addition, the control unit 20 performs a predetermined distance B only when the workpiece W is not actually discharged and remains in the workpiece housing recess ia in accordance with a signal from the detecting sensor 5 (refer to FIG. 3 (b). After the movement of the system), the air pressurizing mechanism is driven to eject air from the discharge port 2b, and if necessary, the movement of the predetermined distance B from the original position can be repeated. The following is the effect of the present embodiment having the above configuration. First, the workpiece conveyance device 10 supplies the workpiece w from the workpiece supply unit 11 to the workpiece storage recess 1a of the conveyance table 1. Thereafter, the conveyance table i is intermittently rotated, and the workpiece is housed in the recess 1a. The workpiece W' is electrically detected by means of a workpiece measuring means not shown on the drawing. (5) (5) 1330050 One workpiece W is attached to the workpiece housing recess ia of the transfer table 1, and the transport table 1 abuts against the base 2 and is rotated in the direction of the arrow k (see Fig. 3(a)). The vacuum chamber lb on the back surface of the transfer table 1 is kept in communication with the vacuum groove 2a disposed in the susceptor 2, and the workpiece W is sucked and held in the workpiece accommodating recess 1a. Next, the workpiece W is discharged from the workpiece discharge position P corresponding to the electrical detection result by the workpiece measuring means. That is, when the workpiece W reaches the workpiece discharge position P to be discharged, the conveyance table 1 is stopped. Then, the workpiece w is blown out from the workpiece accommodating recess 1a by the airflow from the discharge port 2b provided in the susceptor 2, and is discharged to a storage box or the like which is not shown in the figure via the discharge pipe 4. At this time, the air current for a predetermined time is blown from the discharge port 2b, and thereafter, the air flow is stopped. Fig. 2 is a view showing the state of the workpiece W in the workpiece housing recess 1a. In general, the width of the workpiece receiving recess 1a has an arbitrary gap A with respect to the workpiece W, and the workpiece W located at the workpiece discharge position P is in a state of being in close contact with one of the left and right side walls of the workpiece receiving recess 1a (Fig. 3 (Fig. 3) a))) As described above, the discharge port 2b blows out a gas flow for a predetermined time, and when the normal operation cannot discharge the workpiece W, the light sensor 5 disposed inside the guide rail 3 disposed outside the edge of the conveyance table 1 is utilized. The residue of the workpiece W was detected. Upon receiving the detection signal from the photo sensor 5, the control unit 20 starts to blow the air outlet 2b again. At the same time, the control unit 20 moves the transport table 1 in the direction of the arrow L2 opposite to the direction of the arrow Li (see Fig. 3 (b -8 - (6) 1330050)) to move only the distance B. At this time, the workpiece w is also naturally moved under the suction of the vacuum grooves lb, 2b, and the position of the discharge port 2b with respect to the workpiece W is changed. Thereby, the point of action of the air flow on the workpiece W also changes. Further, as described above, the workpiece W is kept in contact with the susceptor 2 due to the vacuum attraction of the vacuum grooves lb, 2a. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4 (a) and (b), when the transfer table 1 is moved, the posture of the workpiece W in the workpiece housing recess 1a changes due to the frictional force between the workpiece w and the susceptor 2 φ. Thereby, the force of the air flow applied to the workpiece W also changes. Fig. 6 (a) and (b) are detailed views of the posture of the workpiece w in the workpiece accommodating recess ia. Here, Fig. 6(a) shows a state in which the workpiece W is in close contact with the side wall in the workpiece accommodating recess 1a, and Fig. 6(b) shows a state in which the workpiece W is inclined in the workpiece accommodating recess 1. When the control unit 20 retracts the conveyance table 1 in the direction of the arrow l2, the air is again ejected from the discharge port 2b, so that the workpiece W that cannot be normally discharged can be discharged from the workpiece storage recess ia with high probability. At this time, the conveyance table 1 is retracted in the direction of the arrow L2, and is again rotated in the direction of the arrow L] to reciprocate the conveyance table 1, whereby the workpiece W can be more reliably discharged from the workpiece storage recess 1a. Further, in the present embodiment, the driving of the transport table 1 is performed by the servo motor, and the actual moving distance B of the transport table 1 is substantially the same as the gap A. -9- (7) (7) 1330050 Further, the control unit 20 can move the transport table 1 only by the distance B. However, the distance B can be changed as needed. Further, the control unit 20 can change the number and time of the reciprocating movement of the transport table 1. Further, the control unit 20 determines that the workpiece W in the workpiece housing recess 1a is not discharged when the workpiece W in the workpiece housing recess 1a is not discharged, and then the workpiece W is not discharged. At this time, the conveyance table 1 is retracted in the direction of the arrow L2, and air may be ejected again from the discharge port 2b. Further, the air from the discharge port 2b is ejected, and the continuous discharge can be performed while the transport table 1 is reciprocating.
