Description

直線送料機 Linear feeder

本發明，是有關於利用振動將零件等搬運的直線送料機者。 The present invention relates to a linear feeder that uses vibration to transport parts and the like.

以往已知，藉由朝形成直線狀的長條的溝槽(也稱為搬運台或是斜槽)施加振動，而可沿著被設定於溝槽上的搬運路將被搬運物朝搬運方向下游側供給的直線送料機。 Conventionally, it is known that by applying vibration to a linear long groove (also referred to as a conveyance table or a chute), the object to be conveyed can be moved in the conveyance direction along the conveyance path set on the groove Linear feeder supplied on the downstream side.

這種的直線送料機已知，具備：固定台(固定部)、及溝槽連接的可動台(可動部)、及將固定部及可動部相互地連結且對於固定部將可動部彈性支撐的驅動用彈簧、及加振源，藉由從加振源被給與的加振力而將驅動用彈簧直接或是間接地起振的話，可動部及固定部會相對地振動，此振動是朝與可動部一體地連結的溝槽被傳達，由此在被設定於溝槽上的搬運路上將被搬運物振動搬運的裝置(例如下述專利文獻1、2參照)。 Such a linear feeder is known and includes a fixed table (fixed portion), a movable table (movable portion) connected to a groove, and a fixed portion and movable portion that are connected to each other and elastically support the movable portion to the fixed portion When the driving spring and the vibration source are directly or indirectly vibrated by the vibration force applied from the vibration source, the movable part and the fixed part will vibrate relatively. This vibration is toward A groove that is integrally connected to the movable portion is conveyed, thereby a device that vibrates and conveys a conveyed object on a conveyance path set on the groove (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).

在習知的直線送料機中，例如第31圖意示地所示，板狀的彈簧(板彈簧)是被適用作為驅動用彈簧 104，這種驅動用彈簧104，是在相互地遠離的搬運方向上流側的規定位置及搬運方向下游側的規定位置成對地配置。又，搬運方向是與溝槽102的長度方向相同方向。 In the conventional linear feeder, for example, as schematically shown in Fig. 31, a plate-shaped spring (plate spring) is applied as a driving spring 104. Such a driving spring 104 is arranged in pairs at a predetermined position on the upstream side in the conveying direction and a predetermined position on the downstream side in the conveying direction that are away from each other. In addition, the conveying direction is the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the groove 102.

這些一對的驅動用彈簧104，是各別由將厚度方向與搬運方向一致的姿勢被配置。且，一對的驅動用彈簧104，是為了防止、抑制溝槽102的搬運路上的被搬運物的縱搖(pitching)現象和橫搖(rolling)現象等的舉動，而由規定的傾斜姿勢被配置(第31圖參照)。 These pair of driving springs 104 are arranged in such a manner that the thickness direction and the conveying direction coincide. In addition, the pair of driving springs 104 are used to prevent and suppress the behavior of the pitching phenomenon and rolling phenomenon of the conveyed object on the conveyance path of the groove 102, and the Configuration (refer to Figure 31).

且藉由從加振源(圖示省略)被給與的加振力，而使可動部103及固定部101透過驅動用彈簧104彼此朝相反方向振動，藉此與可動部103連接的溝槽102是朝長度方向振動，被搬運物是沿著搬運方向朝下游側被搬運。 And by vibrating force given from a vibration source (not shown), the movable part 103 and the fixed part 101 are vibrated in opposite directions through the driving spring 104, whereby the groove connected to the movable part 103 102 is a vibration in the longitudinal direction, and the object to be transported is transported toward the downstream side along the transport direction.

〔習知技術文獻〕 [Conventional Technical Literature] 〔專利文獻〕 [Patent Literature]

[專利文獻1]日本特開2012-066931號公報(日本專利第5741993號) [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-066931 (Japanese Patent No. 5741993)

[專利文獻2]日本特開2015-101430號公報 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-101430

如上述，在習知的直線送料機中，藉由加振源將驅動用彈簧直接或是間接地起振，就可以一邊將驅動用彈簧本身撓曲一邊使可動部及固定部的兩者相對變位。 As described above, in the conventional linear feeder, the driving spring is directly or indirectly vibrated by the vibration source, and the driving can be performed while The spring itself is flexed to relatively displace both the movable part and the fixed part.

因此，這種構成的話，如第32圖意示，一對的驅動用彈簧104是藉由呈S字形撓曲變形而使可動部103及固定部101也撓曲，其結果，對於可動部103一體地動作地被固定的溝槽102也撓曲，會在搬運速度發生不均勻等，而具有無法穩定地搬運處理的情況。尤其是，在振動時(通電導通(ON)狀態)中在使用S字變形的驅動用彈簧104的習知的直線送料機中，為了實現高速振動搬運而將振動頻率提高，愈加大驅動用彈簧104的厚度尺寸地設定(加厚)，溝槽的撓曲愈大。 Therefore, in this configuration, as shown in FIG. 32, the pair of driving springs 104 deflects the movable portion 103 and the fixed portion 101 by flexing and deforming in an S shape. As a result, the movable portion 103 The groove 102 fixed integrally moves also flexes, which may cause unevenness in the conveyance speed, etc., and the conveyance process may not be stable. In particular, in a conventional linear feeder that uses an S-shaped deformed drive spring 104 during vibration (ON state), the vibration frequency is increased in order to achieve high-speed vibration transportation, and the drive spring is increased in size. The thickness of 104 is set dimensionally (thickened), the greater the deflection of the groove.

在此，考慮了這種驅動用彈簧104的S字變形也有被要求將可動部103及固定部101由較高的精度加工製作，而將溝槽102的撓曲減輕的對策的情況，但是可動部103及固定部101的加工精度較低的情況時，驅動用彈簧104變形，其是成為溝槽102的撓曲的要因。 Here, in consideration of such S-shaped deformation of the driving spring 104, the movable part 103 and the fixed part 101 are required to be manufactured with high precision, and the countermeasures to reduce the deflection of the groove 102 may be required, but the movable When the machining accuracy of the portion 103 and the fixed portion 101 is low, the driving spring 104 is deformed, which is the cause of the deflection of the groove 102.

進一步，在習知的直線送料機中，因為驅動用彈簧是呈S字狀變形，所以與例如呈弓狀變形的彈簧相比較的話，從變形前的時點至最大變形的時點為止的變位量是一半程度，因為振動衰減也大所以由共振所產生的振動增幅率也少，在效率的點仍具有改善的餘地。 Further, in the conventional linear feeder, since the driving spring is deformed in an S shape, when compared with, for example, a spring deformed in an arch shape, the amount of displacement from the time before deformation to the time of maximum deformation It is about half, because the vibration attenuation is also large, so the vibration amplification rate due to resonance is also small, and there is still room for improvement at the point of efficiency.

本發明，是著眼在這種點，其主要目的，是提供一種直線送料機，由與習知的直線送料機完全不同的振動原理實現將長條的溝槽朝長度方向振動，尤其是，可將溝槽上的被搬運物由穩定的搬運速度搬運。 The present invention is focused on this point, and its main purpose is to provide a linear feeder that realizes the vibration of a long groove in the longitudinal direction by a vibration principle that is completely different from the conventional linear feeder. In particular, it can The objects to be transported on the trench are transported at a stable transport speed.

即本發明的直線送料機，是有關於對於呈直線狀延伸的溝槽給與振動，將被載置於溝槽上的被搬運物沿著溝槽的長度方向搬運的直線送料機者。在此，被搬運物，可以舉例例如微小尺寸的電子零件等，但是可藉由本發明的直線送料機搬運的話無特別限定。 That is, the linear feeder of the present invention relates to a linear feeder that vibrates a groove that extends linearly and conveys an object to be carried on the groove along the longitudinal direction of the groove. Here, the object to be transported may, for example, be a small-sized electronic component, etc., but it is not particularly limited if it can be transported by the linear feeder of the present invention.

且本發明的直線送料機，具備：直接或是間接地被固定於地面上的固定部；及將溝槽固定在上端部的可動部、及將固定部及可動部連結的支撐彈簧；及具有：用來對於設定於一端側的可動部進行安裝的安裝部、從該安裝部朝高度方向延伸的柱部、及設定於自由端也就是另一端側的配重部，且進行鐘擺運動的振動子；及將振動子振動的加振源；藉由將加振源運轉而使振動子、可動部及溝槽將被搬運物搬運的方式振動。 Moreover, the linear feeder of the present invention includes: a fixed portion that is directly or indirectly fixed to the ground; and a movable portion that fixes the groove to the upper end, and a support spring that connects the fixed portion and the movable portion; and has : Mounting part for mounting the movable part set on one end side, a column part extending from the mounting part in the height direction, and a counterweight part set on the free end, that is, the other end side, and vibrating in a pendulum motion Vibrator; and a vibration source that vibrates the vibrator; by operating the vibration source, the vibrator, the movable part, and the groove vibrate in a manner that conveys the conveyed object.

這種本發明的直線送料機的話，藉由加振源而將振動子振動的話，將具有配重部的另一端側設定於自由端的振動子之中的柱部，是將安裝於可動部的安裝部作為支點如彈簧地行為，振動子整體是藉由進行鐘擺運動的振動，由其反作用使可動部振動，朝固定於可動部的上端部的溝槽傳達該振動。其結果，呈直線狀延伸的溝槽會振動，可以將被載置於溝槽上的被搬運物沿著溝槽的長度方向搬運。又，振動子，是在與水平面垂直交叉的面(垂直面)內，或是接近垂直面在面(被看作垂直面的面)內進行鐘擺運動，在此鐘擺運動時往復動的振動子的自由端的移動軌跡(振動子的往復軌跡)，是從俯視看的情況，藉由設定成與溝槽的長度方向成為平行或是大致平行，就可將被載置於長條的溝槽上的被搬運物沿著溝槽的長度方向振動搬運。 In the linear feeder of the present invention, if the vibrator is vibrated by vibrating the source, the column part of the vibrator with the other end of the weight part set at the free end is attached to the movable part The mounting part acts like a spring as a fulcrum, and the entire vibrator vibrates by pendulum motion, and the movable part vibrates by its reaction, and transmits the vibration toward the groove fixed to the upper end of the movable part. As a result, the groove extending linearly vibrates, and the object to be carried placed on the groove can be carried along the longitudinal direction of the groove. Also, the vibrator is in a plane that intersects the horizontal plane (vertical plane) or close to the vertical plane in the plane (plane regarded as the vertical plane) The pendulum movement, the movement path of the free end of the vibrator reciprocating during the pendulum movement (reciprocating trajectory of the vibrator) is viewed from above, and is set to be parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the groove , The object to be carried placed on the long groove can be vibrated along the length of the groove.

且在本發明，使固定部直接或是間接地被固定的「地面」，當然是人行走的地面，也包含將直線送料機載置的台的載置面的概念。被固定於這種地面的周定部，因為是藉由支撐彈簧而將可動部彈性支撐，所以在振動子的鐘擺運動時也不會撓曲變形而靜止。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the "ground" where the fixing part is fixed directly or indirectly is, of course, the ground on which a person walks, and also includes the concept of a mounting surface of a table on which a linear feeder is mounted. Since the fixed portion fixed to such a ground elastically supports the movable portion by the support spring, it does not flex and deform when the pendulum of the vibrator moves, and it is still.

如此，本發明的直線送料機，是藉由採用了藉由利用振動子的鐘擺動作的振動而將溝槽上的被搬運物搬運前所未有的斬新的振動原理，來迴避、抑制由習知的直線送料機所採用的將一對的驅動用彈簧呈S字形撓曲變形的構成必然發生的可動部及固定部的撓曲，進一步溝槽的撓曲，就可以防止、抑制伴隨溝槽的撓曲的搬運速度的參差不一等的問題，可以實現穩定的搬運處理。 In this way, the linear feeder of the present invention avoids and suppresses the conventional straight line by adopting an unprecedented new vibration principle that uses the vibration of the pendulum motion of the vibrator to transport the object on the trench as never before. The feeder uses an S-shaped deflection of the pair of driving springs to inevitably deflect the movable part and the fixed part, and further deflection of the groove can prevent and suppress the deflection accompanying the groove The problem of uneven transportation speed can achieve stable transportation processing.

尤其是，本發明的直線送料機的話，將不會伴隨振動子的振動產生彎曲變形和撓曲變形的可動部及溝槽的振動頻率，藉由將振動子的振動頻率變更而可容易地變更，在習知的直線送料機中困難的例如1000Hz至2000Hz等的高頻振動搬運也成為可能，可以達成搬運處理速度的高速化。 In particular, in the linear feeder of the present invention, the vibration frequency of the movable part and the groove that will not be subjected to bending deformation and deflection due to the vibration of the vibrator can be easily changed by changing the vibration frequency of the vibrator In addition, it is possible to convey high-frequency vibrations, such as 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz, which are difficult in conventional linear feeders, and the conveying processing speed can be increased.

且本發明的直線送料機的話，因為溝槽的彎曲撓曲現象不會產生或極些微地發生的程度，所以即使加大設定溝槽的長度尺寸仍可以將被搬運物穩定地搬運。尤其是，本發明的直線送料機的話，習知的直線送料機的話溝槽的撓曲變形是成為顯著的較高的頻率域的振動，溝槽的撓曲變形也不會產生，即使產生，與習知裝置相比的話因為可以抑制成極些微的撓曲變形，所以成為可加大設定溝槽的長度尺寸。 And the linear feeder of the present invention, because of the bending of the groove The deflection phenomenon does not occur or occurs to a slight extent, so even if the length of the set groove is increased, the object to be transported can be stably transported. In particular, in the linear feeder of the present invention, in the conventional linear feeder, the deflection of the groove becomes a significantly higher frequency domain vibration, and the deflection of the groove does not occur. Compared with the conventional device, it is possible to suppress the slight deflection deformation, so that the length dimension of the set groove can be increased.

驅動用彈簧的變形可成為溝槽的撓曲的要因的習知的直線送料機的話，因為所要求的對於可動部及固定部的較高的精度的加工製作，在本發明的直線送料機中不特別要求，所以此點也有利。 In the conventional linear feeder where the deformation of the driving spring can be a cause of the deflection of the groove, the linear feeder of the present invention is required for the high-precision machining of the movable part and the fixed part. No special requirements, so this is also advantageous.

進一步，本發明的直線送料機的話，進行鐘擺運動的振動子之中的柱部因為不是呈S字狀變形，而是呈弓狀變形，所以與使用呈S字狀變形的驅動用彈簧的習知的直線送料機相比較，從變形前的時點至最大變形的時點為止的振動子的變位量(如彈簧地行為的柱部的變位量)可以更大，所以振動衰減也減少，由共振所產生的振動增幅率也變高，可以達成效率的提高。 Furthermore, in the linear feeder of the present invention, since the column portion of the vibrator performing the pendulum movement is not deformed in an S shape but is deformed in an arch shape, it is a practice to use a driving spring deformed in an S shape Compared with the known linear feeder, the displacement of the vibrator from the time before deformation to the time of maximum deformation (such as the displacement of the column portion of the spring's behavior) can be greater, so the vibration attenuation is also reduced. The rate of increase in vibration due to resonance also becomes higher, and efficiency can be improved.

本發明的直線送料機，是具備單數的振動子者也可以，具備複數振動子者也可以。尤其是，在本發明的直線送料機中，從由振動子的鐘擺運動所產生的圓弧運動，朝可動部及溝槽將直線的振動可效率良好地傳達的構成，可以舉例將一對的振動子具備一組或是複數組，將各組中的各振動子，彼此天地反向地配設的構成。即，在本發明的直線送料機中，藉由使配重部的位置成為相互天地相反的姿勢的方式將各組中的各振動子的安裝部固定於可動部，而使各組中的各振動子的圓弧運動被合成使旋轉力矩相互抵消的結果使直線的振動產生，此振動是朝可動部及溝槽傳達，可以獲得可將溝槽上的被搬運物搬運的穩定的振動。 The linear feeder of the present invention may be a single vibrator or a plural vibrator. In particular, in the linear feeder of the present invention, from the circular arc motion generated by the pendulum motion of the vibrator, the linear vibration can be efficiently transmitted toward the movable portion and the groove. For example, a pair of The vibrator is provided with a group or a complex array, and each vibrator in each group is arranged to be opposite to each other. That is, in this In the linear feeder of the invention, the mounting part of each vibrator in each group is fixed to the movable part so that the position of the weight part is opposite to each other, so that the circle of each vibrator in each group The arc motion is synthesized so that the rotation torques cancel each other, resulting in linear vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the movable part and the groove, and stable vibration that can carry the conveyed object on the groove can be obtained.

尤其是，在本發明的直線送料機中，可以將複數振動子沿著從溝槽的長度方向、高度方向、或是寬度方向選擇的一以上的方向並列配置。例如，欲達成直線送料機的薄型化的情況時，將複數振動子沿著溝槽的長度方向或是寬度方向並列配置即可，欲達成直線送料機的寬度方向中的小型化的情況時，將複數振動子沿著溝槽的長度方向或是高度方向並列配置即可。 In particular, in the linear feeder of the present invention, the plural vibrators can be arranged in parallel in one or more directions selected from the longitudinal direction, the height direction, or the width direction of the groove. For example, if you want to achieve a thinner linear feeder, you can arrange multiple vibrators in parallel along the length or width of the groove. When you want to achieve a smaller size in the width of the linear feeder, The plural vibrators may be arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction or the height direction of the groove.

在本發明的直線送料機中，可動部，是將溝槽固定在上端部，且振動子的安裝部是可安裝即可，最佳的具體例，可以舉例：具備被配置於在溝槽的寬度方向隔著振動子而位於該振動子之兩側的位置的一對的側板的可動部、和在內部空間具備收容振動子的框體的可動部。尤其是，使用在內部空間收容振動子的框體構成的可動部所適用的直線送料機的話，藉由將進行鐘擺運動的振動子收容於框體的內部空間，來提高防音性、隔音性。 In the linear feeder of the present invention, the movable part is to fix the groove at the upper end, and the vibrator mounting part can be installed. The best specific example can be provided by: A movable portion of a pair of side plates located at positions on both sides of the vibrator across the vibrator in the width direction, and a movable portion including a frame housing the vibrator in the internal space. In particular, when a linear feeder suitable for a movable part constituted by a frame that houses a vibrator in an internal space is used, by accommodating a pendulum-moving vibrator in the internal space of the frame, soundproofness and sound insulation are improved.

本發明的直線送料機，可以依據將固定部及可動部連結的支撐彈簧的傾斜角度將溝槽的振動方向設定成任意的方向。因此，在本發明中，可將連結固定部及可動部的形成板狀的支撐彈簧，變更成：將高度方向與垂直方向一致的垂直姿勢、及從該垂直姿勢朝規定角度傾斜的傾斜姿勢地構成的話，考慮被搬運物的種類和形狀、規格等的諸條件，可以選擇、設定最適合的溝槽的振動方向。如此，在本發明的直線送料機中，支撐彈簧，是作為振動角度調整用彈簧的功能，藉由將支撐彈簧的角度變更，就可以將溝槽的振動方向變更。 The linear feeder of the present invention can set the vibration direction of the groove to any direction according to the inclination angle of the support spring connecting the fixed portion and the movable portion. Therefore, in the present invention, the connection fixing portion and the The plate-shaped support spring of the moving part is changed to a vertical posture in which the height direction coincides with the vertical direction and an inclined posture inclined from the vertical posture to a predetermined angle, considering the type, shape, and specifications of the conveyed object For various conditions such as, you can select and set the most suitable vibration direction of the groove. In this way, in the linear feeder of the present invention, the support spring functions as a spring for adjusting the vibration angle. By changing the angle of the support spring, the vibration direction of the groove can be changed.

在本發明的直線送料機中，藉由採用了將進行鐘擺運動的振動子之中設定於一端側的安裝部安裝在可動部，將振動子的振動朝可動部及溝槽傳達，將溝槽上的被搬運物朝規定的溝槽的長度方向搬運的斬新的構成，就可以提供一種直線送料機，不會導致構造的複雜化，可消解朝溝槽傳達彎曲撓曲的習知的問題，可實現穩定的振動搬運。 In the linear feeder of the present invention, the mounting part set on one end side of the vibrator for pendulum movement is mounted on the movable part, the vibration of the vibrator is transmitted to the movable part and the groove, and the groove The new structure of the object being transported in the longitudinal direction of the predetermined groove can provide a linear feeder without complicating the structure, and can eliminate the conventional problem of conveying bending and deflection toward the groove. It can realize stable vibration transportation.

In this embodiment, the fixing portion 1 is constituted by the mounting block 11 fixed to the ground. The mounting block 11 constituting the fixed portion 1 also functions as a weight (weight for vibration adjustment). In this embodiment, the mounting block 11 is fixed to the ground by, for example, bolts (not shown).

可動部2，是具備配置於在溝槽T的寬度方向W相面對的位置的一對的側板21者。在本實施例中，將側板21的上端部彼此藉由連結板22連結。因此，可動部，是具備左右一對的側板21及連結板22者。側板21，是形成近似矩形狀，將板厚方向(厚度方向)與溝槽T的寬度方向W一致的姿勢地配置，將沿著搬運方向(溝槽T的長度方向)的尺寸比溝槽T的長度尺寸更短地設定者。這種將側板21的上端部彼此連結的連結板22，是由被挾持於側板21的向內面(面對配置的側板21彼此相面對的面)彼此之間的姿勢地配置，藉由螺栓N1與側板21被固定成一體。藉由這些一對的側板21及連結板22而被包圍的空間，即可動部2的內部空間，是作為後述的振動子4的配置空間利用。 The movable portion 2 is a pair of side plates 21 arranged at positions facing the width direction W of the trench T. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the side plates 21 are connected to each other by the connecting plate 22. Therefore, the movable portion is one including a pair of left and right side plates 21 and a connecting plate 22. The side plate 21 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the plate thickness direction (thickness direction) is aligned with the width direction W of the groove T, and the dimension along the conveying direction (the longitudinal direction of the groove T) is larger than that of the groove T. The length of the set is shorter.

The space enclosed by these pair of side plates 21 and the connecting plate 22, that is, the internal space of the movable part 2, is a vibration which will be described later The configuration space of sub-4 is used.

在本實施例中，將連結板22的寬度尺寸比溝槽T的寬度尺寸更長地設定(第2圖參照)，藉由在將溝槽T載置在連結板22的向上面的狀態下從溝槽T的上方朝連結板22插通的螺栓N2，將溝槽T固定在連結板22(第1圖參照)。在第2圖中省略螺栓N2。且，在本實施例中，如第2圖所示，將可動部2的寬度尺寸(從一方的側板21的向外面至另一方的側板21的向外面為止的尺寸)與固定部1的寬度尺寸大致一致。 In this embodiment, the width dimension of the connection plate 22 is set to be longer than the width dimension of the groove T (refer to FIG. 2 ), by placing the groove T on the upper side of the connection plate 22 The bolt N2 inserted into the connection plate 22 from above the groove T fixes the groove T to the connection plate 22 (refer to FIG. 1 ). The bolt N2 is omitted in the second figure. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the width dimension of the movable portion 2 (the dimension from one side plate 21 to the outside to the other side plate 21 to the outside) and the width of the fixed portion 1 The size is roughly the same.

支撐彈簧3，是將一端固定於設在固定部1的彈簧第1安裝部1a，將另一端固定於設在可動部2的彈簧第2安裝部2a者。在本實施例中，將由薄板狀的板彈簧構成的支撐彈簧3，將其板厚方向(厚度方向)由與溝槽T的長度方向H一致的姿勢配置。且，在本實施例中，將彈簧第1安裝部1a藉由螺栓N3固定於固定部1，並且將彈簧第2安裝部2a藉由螺栓N4固定於可動部2。在本實施例中，如第1圖及第3圖所示，在固定部1，形成比螺栓N3的數量更多的螺紋孔，藉由適宜選擇、變更將螺栓N3螺合的螺紋孔，就可變更對於固定部1的彈簧第1安裝部1a的安裝姿勢地構成。將對於固定部1的彈簧第1安裝部1a的安裝姿勢變更的情況時，藉由鬆緩將彈簧第2安裝部2a固定的螺栓N4，伴隨將對於固定部1的彈簧第1安裝部1a的安裝姿勢變更的處理，就可以將透過支撐彈簧3與彈簧第1安裝部1a連結的彈簧第2安裝部2a，以螺栓N4作為軸支點旋轉。且，將彈簧第1安裝部1a藉由螺栓N3固定於固定部1之後，藉由重新旋緊螺栓N4就可以將彈簧第2安裝部2a對於可動部2不能相對移動地固定。在本實施例中，在構成可動部2的側板21的向外面將彈簧第2安裝部2a藉由螺栓N4固定，並且固定部1之中，將彈簧第1安裝部1a藉由螺栓N3固定在與可動部2的側板21的向外面大致成為同一面的側面。 The support spring 3 is one that fixes one end to the spring first attachment portion 1a provided in the fixed portion 1 and fixes the other end to the spring second attachment portion 2a provided in the movable portion 2. In the present embodiment, the support spring 3 composed of a thin plate-shaped plate spring is arranged such that its plate thickness direction (thickness direction) coincides with the longitudinal direction H of the groove T. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first spring mounting portion 1a is fixed to the fixed portion 1 by the bolt N3, and the second spring mounting portion 2a is fixed to the movable portion 2 by the bolt N4. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a larger number of screw holes than bolt N3 are formed in the fixing portion 1. By appropriately selecting and changing the screw holes for screwing the bolt N3, The configuration of the attachment position of the spring first attachment portion 1a to the fixing portion 1 can be changed. When changing the mounting posture of the first mounting portion 1a of the spring of the fixing portion 1, by loosening the bolt N4 that fixes the second mounting portion 2a of the spring, as the first mounting portion 1a of the spring of the fixing portion 1 The process of changing the mounting posture allows the second spring to be connected to the first spring mounting portion 1a through the support spring 3 The mounting portion 2a rotates with the bolt N4 as a pivot point. Furthermore, after the first spring mounting portion 1a is fixed to the fixing portion 1 by the bolt N3, the spring second mounting portion 2a can be fixed to the movable portion 2 so as not to move relatively by tightening the bolt N4 again. In this embodiment, the spring second mounting portion 2a is fixed to the outside of the side plate 21 constituting the movable portion 2 by bolts N4, and in the fixing portion 1, the spring first mounting portion 1a is fixed to the bolt N3 The side surface of the side plate 21 of the movable portion 2 is substantially the same side as the outer surface.

振動子4，是如第4圖及第5圖(第4圖、第5圖，是各別從第1圖、第2圖所示的直線送料機X將振動子4及加振源5抽出的圖)所示，具備：設在一端側且對於可動部2可固定的安裝部41、及從安裝部41朝高度方向延伸的柱部42、及設定於自由端也就是另一端側的配重部43者。振動子4，是在柱部42的兩端部，具備朝溝槽T的長度方向H延伸的第1鍔部44及第2鍔部45，藉由任一方的鍔部(在本實施例中，沿著溝槽T的長度方向H的尺寸是相對短的第1鍔部44)而構成安裝部41，藉由另一方的鍔部(在本實施例中，沿著溝槽T的長度方向H的尺寸相對長的第2鍔部45)而構成配重部43的一部分。 The vibrator 4 is as shown in Figures 4 and 5 (Figures 4 and 5 are drawn from the linear feeder X shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively, and the vibrator 4 and the vibration source 5 are extracted As shown in the figure), it includes: a mounting portion 41 provided on one end side and fixable to the movable portion 2, a column portion 42 extending from the mounting portion 41 in the height direction, and a configuration set at the free end, that is, the other end side Part 43. The vibrator 4 is provided at both ends of the column portion 42 with a first flange portion 44 and a second flange portion 45 extending in the longitudinal direction H of the groove T. With either flange portion (in this embodiment , The dimension along the longitudinal direction H of the trench T is the relatively short first flange portion 44) to constitute the mounting portion 41, with the other flange portion (in this embodiment, along the longitudinal direction of the trench T The relatively long second flange portion 45) of H constitutes a part of the weight portion 43.

在本實施例中，將振動子4的安裝部41固定在可動部2之中的側板21的向內面地設定。在本實施例的直線送料機X中，構成安裝部41的第1鍔部44，如第5圖所示適用，溝槽T的寬度方向W(在平面與溝槽T的長度方向H垂直交叉的方向)是比振動子4的其他的部分(柱部42和配重部43)只有更規定尺寸分突出，具有比柱部42、第2鍔部45及配重部43更優先與可動部2的向內面(側板21的向內面)接觸的突出端面441者。且，在將突出端面441與側板21的向內面接觸的狀態下，藉由將從側板21的向外面側***的螺栓N5，螺合在形成於安裝部41的螺紋孔442，而將振動子4固定在可動部2(第1圖及第2圖參照)。因此，安裝部41之中與可動部2的向內面(側板21的向內面)接觸的面也就是突出端面441是作為振動子4的固定面的功能。在本實施例中，由將板厚方向(厚度方向)與溝槽T的寬度方向W一致的姿勢相面對配置的一對的側板21彼此之間挾持振動子4的姿勢，將振動子4固定在可動部2。又，構成安裝部41的第1鍔部44的寬度尺寸，是與構成可動部2的連結板22的寬度尺寸相同或是大致相同(第2圖參照)。 In this embodiment, the mounting portion 41 of the vibrator 4 is fixed to the inward surface of the side plate 21 in the movable portion 2. In the linear feeder X of the present embodiment, the first flange portion 44 constituting the mounting portion 41 is applied as shown in FIG. 5, and the width direction W of the groove T (in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction H of the groove T Direction) is more protruding than the other parts of the vibrator 4 (the column part 42 and the weight part 43) by only a predetermined size, and has priority over the movable part than the column part 42, the second flange part 45 and the weight part 43 2 of the protruding end surfaces 441 contacting the inward surface (inward surface of the side plate 21). Then, in a state where the protruding end surface 441 is in contact with the inward surface of the side plate 21, the bolt N5 inserted from the side plate 21 to the outer side is screwed into the screw hole 442 formed in the mounting portion 41 to vibrate The sub 4 is fixed to the movable part 2 (refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 ). Therefore, the surface contacting the inward surface of the movable portion 2 (the inward surface of the side plate 21) of the mounting portion 41, that is, the protruding end surface 441 functions as a fixing surface of the vibrator 4. In this embodiment, the posture of the vibrator 4 is held by a pair of side plates 21 arranged so that the plate thickness direction (thickness direction) and the width direction W of the groove T coincide with each other.固定于movable part 2 In addition, the width dimension of the first flange portion 44 constituting the mounting portion 41 is the same as or substantially the same as the width dimension of the coupling plate 22 constituting the movable portion 2 (refer to FIG. 2 ).

尤其是，在本實施形態的直線送料機X中，對於朝高度方向延伸的柱部42，將構成安裝部41的第1鍔部44設定成朝溝槽T的長度方向H延伸的形狀，第1鍔部44及柱部42是設定成形成整體側面視T字形狀。因此，與可動部2的向內面(側板21的向內面)接觸的面也就是突出端面441，也是沿著溝槽T的長度方向H延伸的面。在本實施例中，構成安裝部41的第1鍔部44之中，在接近沿著溝槽T的長度方向H的兩端的位置形成螺紋孔442。這些螺紋孔442的形成處，是位於從柱部42的軸中心(後出的第6圖所示的想像線L1)偏離的位置。 In particular, in the linear feeder X of the present embodiment, for the column portion 42 extending in the height direction, the first flange portion 44 constituting the mounting portion 41 is set to a shape extending in the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, The one flange portion 44 and the pillar portion 42 are set to form a T-shape in a side view as a whole. because Here, the surface contacting the inward surface of the movable portion 2 (the inward surface of the side plate 21 ), that is, the protruding end surface 441 is also a surface extending along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T. In the present embodiment, among the first flange portions 44 constituting the mounting portion 41, screw holes 442 are formed at positions close to both ends along the longitudinal direction H of the trench T. These screw holes 442 are formed at positions deviated from the axial center of the column portion 42 (imaginary line L1 shown in FIG. 6 shown later).

本實施例的振動子4，是將：構成安裝部41的第1鍔部44、及構成配重部43的一部分的第2鍔部45、及柱部42一體形成。 The vibrator 4 of the present embodiment is formed by integrally forming the first flange portion 44 constituting the mounting portion 41, the second flange portion 45 constituting a part of the weight portion 43, and the column portion 42.

配重部43，是設定於振動子4之中的自由端也就是另一端側者。在本實施例中，適用：上述的第2鍔部45、及具備與第2鍔部45別體的配重部本體46的配重部43。 The weight portion 43 is set at the free end of the vibrator 4, that is, at the other end side. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned second flange portion 45 and the counterweight portion 43 including the counterweight body 46 separate from the second flange portion 45 are applied.

配重部本體46，是在第2鍔部45之中的長度方向兩端部在與相面對於第1鍔部44的面接觸的狀態下藉由螺栓N6被固定者。配重部本體46，是在將沿著高度方向的一方的端面與第2鍔部45接觸的狀態下被固定，在此固定狀態下，沿著高度方向的另一方的端面是成為比第2鍔部45更接近第1鍔部44的位置。且，將配重部本體46固定於第2鍔部45時的螺栓N6的安裝方向(螺合進退方向)，是設定成溝槽T的延伸方向(長度方向H)以外的方向。具體而言，將螺栓N6的安裝方向(螺合進退方向)設定成高度方向。在第2鍔部45之中的長度方向兩端部中，各別形成左右一對的螺栓插通孔，將1個配重部本體46由2條的螺栓N6固定(第5圖參照)。在配重部本體46中，形成螺紋孔，將從第2鍔部45的螺栓插通孔***的螺栓N6螺合固定在配重部本體46的螺紋孔。在各螺栓插通孔中，形成可收容螺栓頭的凹部，設定成使螺栓頭不會朝外部突出地露出。 The counterweight body 46 is fixed by bolts N6 in the state where the longitudinal ends of the second flange portion 45 are in contact with the surface facing the first flange portion 44. The weight body 46 is fixed in a state where one end surface along the height direction is in contact with the second flange portion 45, and in this fixed state, the other end surface along the height direction becomes higher than the second The flange portion 45 is closer to the position of the first flange portion 44. In addition, the mounting direction (screw advance and retreat direction) of the bolt N6 when the weight portion body 46 is fixed to the second flange portion 45 is set in a direction other than the extending direction (longitudinal direction H) of the groove T. Specifically, the mounting direction (screw advance and retreat direction) of the bolt N6 is set to the height direction. The length of the second flange 45 A pair of left and right bolt insertion holes are formed in both end portions, and one weight portion body 46 is fixed by two bolts N6 (refer to FIG. 5 ). The counterweight part body 46 is formed with a screw hole, and the bolt N6 inserted from the bolt insertion hole of the second flange part 45 is screwed and fixed to the screw hole of the counterweight part body 46. In each bolt insertion hole, a concave portion capable of accommodating a bolt head is formed, and it is set so that the bolt head is exposed without protruding to the outside.

如此，在本實施例中，使用設在振動子4之中的自由端也就是另一端側的第2鍔部45及配重部本體46將配重部43構成。且，柱部42之中的第2鍔部45附近的部分是自由端，該部分也可以作為構成配重部43的一部分的零件。 In this way, in the present embodiment, the weight portion 43 is configured using the second flange portion 45 and the weight portion body 46 provided at the free end of the vibrator 4, that is, at the other end side. In addition, a portion of the column portion 42 near the second flange portion 45 is a free end, and this portion may be used as a part constituting a part of the weight portion 43.

且在本實施例的直線送料機X中，如第6圖所示，設定成安裝部41之中，以與柱部42的軸中心(柱部42的厚度方向(與溝槽T的長度方向H相同方向)的中心，在同圖中由1點鎖線顯示的線L1)一致的點作為支點使振動子4進行鐘擺運動。此時，振動子4的柱部42，是利用材料本身的彈性如彈簧地行為。進行鐘擺運動的振動子4的振動方向是從俯視看的情況，與溝槽T的長度方向H平行。 In the linear feeder X of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting portion 41 is set so as to be aligned with the axial center of the column portion 42 (the thickness direction of the column portion 42 (and the longitudinal direction of the groove T H, the center of the same direction), and the point where the line L1) shown by the one-point lock line in the figure coincides as a fulcrum makes the vibrator 4 pendulum move. At this time, the pillar portion 42 of the vibrator 4 acts like a spring by utilizing the elasticity of the material itself. The vibration direction of the vibrator 4 that performs the pendulum movement is seen from above, and is parallel to the longitudinal direction H of the groove T.

本實施例的直線送料機X，是如第4圖及第5圖所示，將使振動子4振動的加振源5，由各別設置在形成板狀的柱部42之中朝向溝槽T的延伸方向的一對的相對面壓電元件5所構成。在本實施例中，適用可被覆除了柱部42的相對面之中的上下端附近領域以外的大半的領域的尺寸的壓電元件5(第5圖參照)。且，藉由使各別設置在柱部42的相對面的壓電元件5伸縮(例如，對於壓電元件5外加正弦波狀的電壓使產生周期的延伸)，而使柱部42以對於可動部2的振動子4的固定面也就是安裝部41之中的柱部42的軸中心L1通過的位置作為支點整體呈弓狀撓曲，進行鐘擺動作。其結果，振動子4，也與配重部43的重量相輔進行適度的鐘擺動作，使振動子4的振動發生。在此，藉由改變柱部42的厚度尺寸(沿著柱部42的厚度方向(與第4圖等所示的箭頭H方向相同方向)的尺寸)就可以將振動頻率容易地改變。且，加大柱部42的厚度尺寸地設定使高頻振動(例如1000Hz乃至2000Hz)發生的場合，也對於可動部2的振動子4的固定面也就是突出端面441之中的形成於從振動的柱部42的支點偏離的位置的螺紋孔442將固定用螺栓N5螺合，因為將振動子4固定在可動部2，所以可以將鐘擺運動時中的柱部42的大的撓曲最佳地支撐。且，因為柱部42是呈弓形撓曲使變形振動衰減少，由共振所產生的振動增幅率大，所以為了獲得所期的振幅而將必要的壓電元件5的枚數減少也可以。壓電元件5，是藉由例如貼附處理等的適宜的處理而被固定於柱部42的相對面。在溝槽T的長度方向H中，在壓電元件5及配重部43(具體而言配重部本體46)之間確保規定的間隙，來迴避壓電元件5及配重部43相互干涉的事態(第4圖及第6圖參照)。 In the linear feeder X of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the vibration source 5 that vibrates the vibrator 4 is respectively provided in the plate-shaped column 42 toward the groove A pair of opposing surface piezoelectric elements 5 in the extending direction of T are configured. In this embodiment, a collar that can cover most of the area except for the area near the upper and lower ends of the opposing surface of the pillar portion 42 is applied The piezoelectric element 5 of the domain size (refer to FIG. 5). And, by expanding and contracting the piezoelectric elements 5 provided on the opposite surfaces of the column portions 42 (for example, applying a sine wave-like voltage to the piezoelectric elements 5 to extend the generation period), the column portions 42 are moved The fixing surface of the vibrator 4 of the portion 2, that is, the position where the axis center L1 of the column portion 42 in the mounting portion 41 passes as a fulcrum is bent in an arch shape as a whole, and a pendulum operation is performed. As a result, the vibrator 4 also performs a proper pendulum operation in conjunction with the weight of the weight portion 43 to cause vibration of the vibrator 4 to occur. Here, the vibration frequency can be easily changed by changing the thickness dimension of the pillar portion 42 (the dimension along the thickness direction of the pillar portion 42 (the same direction as the arrow H direction shown in FIG. 4 etc.)). Moreover, when the thickness of the column portion 42 is increased to set a high-frequency vibration (for example, 1000 Hz or even 2000 Hz), the fixed surface of the vibrator 4 of the movable portion 2, that is, the protruding end surface 441 is formed from the vibration The threaded hole 442 at the position where the fulcrum of the column portion 42 deviates will screw the fixing bolt N5, and since the vibrator 4 is fixed to the movable portion 2, the large deflection of the column portion 42 during the pendulum movement can be optimized Ground support. In addition, since the column portion 42 is bow-shaped and flexed to reduce the deformation vibration attenuation and the vibration amplification rate due to resonance is large, the number of piezoelectric elements 5 necessary to obtain the desired amplitude may be reduced. The piezoelectric element 5 is fixed to the opposite surface of the pillar portion 42 by suitable processing such as sticking processing. In the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, a predetermined gap is secured between the piezoelectric element 5 and the weight portion 43 (specifically, the weight portion body 46) to avoid interference between the piezoelectric element 5 and the weight portion 43 Situation (refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6).

本實施例的直線送料機X，是將上述的振動子4成對設置，將這些1組的振動子4(振動子4的對)沿著溝槽T的長度方向H並列配置。且，各振動子4，是由配重部43的位置成為相互天地相反的姿勢將安裝部41固定在共通的可動部2。即，將各振動子4彼此天地反向地配設。各振動子4，是相互相同的構造。又，在本實施例的直線送料機X的前視圖也就是第2圖中，為了迴避線圖成為極端繁雜，而在一對的振動子4之中，只有將第1圖中的紙面的朝向右側的振動子4意示地顯示，第1圖中的朝向紙面的左側的振動子4是省略。第5圖也同樣。 In the linear feeder X of this embodiment, the above-mentioned vibrators 4 are provided in pairs, and these vibrators 4 (pair of vibrators 4) are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction H of the trench T. In addition, each vibrator 4 fixes the mounting portion 41 to the common movable portion 2 with the position of the weight portion 43 being opposite to each other. In other words, the vibrators 4 are arranged to be opposite to each other. Each vibrator 4 has the same structure. In addition, in the front view of the linear feeder X of this embodiment, that is, in the second figure, in order to avoid the line diagram becoming extremely complicated, among the pair of vibrators 4, only the orientation of the paper surface in the first figure The vibrator 4 on the right side is schematically shown, and the vibrator 4 on the left side facing the paper in FIG. 1 is omitted. The same is true in Figure 5.

在以上雖說明了的本實施例的直線送料機X，但是由將配置於天地反向的一對的振動子4挾持於可動部2之中一對的側板21彼此之間的形態固定，將溝槽T固定在可動部2之中的連結板22的向上面，透過支撐彈簧3將固定部1配置於可動部2的下方，將振動子4彈性支撐的構成。 In the linear feeder X of the present embodiment described above, the pair of side plates 21 among the pair of side plates 21 in the movable portion 2 are fixed by holding a pair of vibrators 4 arranged in the reverse direction of the world and the The groove T is fixed to the upper surface of the connecting plate 22 in the movable portion 2, and the fixed portion 1 is arranged below the movable portion 2 via the support spring 3, and the vibrator 4 is elastically supported.

本實施例的直線送料機X，是加振源5運轉狀態(壓電元件5是成為伸縮的導通(ON)狀態)的話，振動子4是進行鐘擺動作，藉由振動，由其反作用使可動部2振動，其振動朝溝槽T傳播使溝槽T本身也振動。具體而言，將構成至少任一方的振動子4中的加振源5的壓電元件5伸縮的話，柱部42是撓曲振動，振動子4整體，是以被固定於可動部2的安裝部41的規定處(柱部42的軸中心L1通過的位置)作為支點進行將自由端側呈圓弧狀往復移動的鐘擺動作。尤其是，因為在振動子4之中的自由端側設置配重部本體46，所以振動的反力變大，可以將振動子4效率良好地鐘擺動作。且，構成1組的振動子4的對的2個振動子4之中，只有將附帶在一方的振動子4的壓電元件5成為通電導通(ON)狀態，使附帶在另一方的振動子4的壓電元件5成為通電斷開(OFF)狀態的情況，附帶通電斷開(OFF)狀態的壓電元件5的振動子4也藉由共振而振動。 In the linear feeder X of this embodiment, when the vibration source 5 is in an operating state (the piezoelectric element 5 is in an on-state of expansion and contraction), the vibrator 4 performs a pendulum motion, and by vibrating, it is movable by its reaction The part 2 vibrates, and its vibration propagates toward the groove T so that the groove T itself also vibrates. Specifically, when the piezoelectric element 5 constituting the vibration source 5 in at least one of the vibrators 4 is expanded and contracted, the column portion 42 is flexed and vibrated, and the entire vibrator 4 is fixed to the movable portion 2 by mounting The predetermined part of the part 41 (the position where the axis center L1 of the column part 42 passes) is carried out as a fulcrum. The pendulum moves in a circular arc. In particular, since the weight body 46 is provided on the free end side of the vibrator 4, the reaction force of vibration becomes large, and the vibrator 4 can be efficiently pendulum-operated. In addition, of the two vibrators 4 that form a pair of vibrators 4 in a pair, only the piezoelectric element 5 attached to one vibrator 4 is turned on and turned on, so that the vibrator attached to the other When the piezoelectric element 5 of 4 is in the OFF state, the vibrator 4 of the piezoelectric element 5 with the OFF state is also vibrated by resonance.

且本實施例的直線送料機X，因為是將這種振動子4成對由相互地天地反向的姿勢配置，所以成對的振動子4的振動是被合成而可以產生直線運動。即，將一對的振動子4天地相反地組合的話，如第7圖所示，振動子4的固定面441是進行直線振動。詳述的話，將進行鐘擺運動的振動子4成對地由相互天地相反朝向的姿勢設在可動部2，在各振動子4的支點作動的反力的方向是相等，且振動子4擺動的方向是成為彼此相反方向的話，在可動部2中一方向的反力作用，在各振動子4的支點作動的旋轉力矩因為相互抵消，所以不會發生使可動部2變形的力，振動子4的固定面441可進行直線振動。在第7圖中，由天地反向的姿勢配置的振動子4正各別進行鐘擺運動的進行之中的時點中的各振動子4的振動方向、及藉由振動子4的振動而使各振動子4的固定面441直線振動的方向，是各別由相對粗的箭頭意示地顯示。在第4圖中，將各振動子4的振動方向由箭頭意示地顯示，同圖紙面的朝向右側的振動子4的振動方向、及第7圖所示的一對的振動子4之中相對上側的振動子4的振動方向是相同，第4圖所示的朝向紙面的左側的振動子4的振動方向、及第7圖所示的一對的振動子4之中相對下側的振動子4的振動方向是相同。 In addition, since the linear feeder X of the present embodiment arranges such a pair of vibrators 4 in mutually opposite postures, the vibrations of the pair of vibrators 4 are synthesized to produce linear motion. That is, when a pair of vibrators are combined in the opposite directions, as shown in FIG. 7, the fixed surface 441 of the vibrator 4 vibrates linearly. In detail, the vibrator 4 that performs the pendulum motion is set in the movable portion 2 in a pair of opposite positions facing each other, and the direction of the reaction force acting at the fulcrum of each vibrator 4 is equal, and the vibrator 4 swings If the directions are opposite to each other, the reaction force in one direction acts on the movable part 2 and the rotational moments acting at the fulcrums of the vibrators 4 cancel each other, so that no force deforming the movable part 2 occurs. The vibrator 4 The fixed surface 441 can perform linear vibration. In FIG. 7, the vibrators 4 arranged in a reverse posture of the earth and the earth are respectively performing the vibration direction of the vibrators 4 at the time point when the pendulum motion is in progress, and the vibration of the vibrator 4 causes each The direction in which the fixed surface 441 of the vibrator 4 vibrates linearly is indicated by relatively thick arrows. In FIG. 4, the vibration direction of each vibrator 4 is schematically indicated by an arrow, which is the same as The vibration direction of the vibrator 4 toward the right side is the same as the vibration direction of the vibrator 4 on the upper side of the pair of vibrators 4 shown in FIG. 7, and the vibrator toward the left side of the paper shown in FIG. 4 The vibration direction of 4 is the same as the vibration direction of the lower vibrator 4 of the pair of vibrators 4 shown in FIG. 7.

如此，本實施例的直線送料機X，是成對的振動子4的鐘擺運動被合成成為直線運動，此振動也朝：將振動子4固定的可動部2、及與可動部2一體設置的溝槽T傳達，使這些可動部2及溝槽T進行直線振動。因此，依據本實施例的直線送料機X的話，彎曲撓曲不對於溝槽T傳達，可以藉由共振的一對的振動子4的振動，獲得將溝槽T上的被搬運物朝規定方向振動搬運的穩定的振動，可以減少搬運速度的不均勻。 In this way, in the linear feeder X of this embodiment, the pendulum motion of the pair of vibrators 4 is synthesized into a linear motion, and this vibration is also directed to: the movable part 2 that fixes the vibrator 4 and the integrally provided with the movable part 2 The groove T conveys and linearly vibrates the movable portion 2 and the groove T. Therefore, according to the linear feeder X of the present embodiment, the bending and deflection are not transmitted to the groove T, and by vibrating the pair of vibrators 4 that resonate, the object to be conveyed on the groove T can be obtained in a predetermined direction The stable vibration of vibration transportation can reduce the unevenness of the transportation speed.

且本實施例的直線送料機X，因為是將可動部2及固定部1相互地連結的板狀的支撐彈簧3，可變更成：將高度方向與垂直方向一致的垂直姿勢(第1圖參照)、及從垂直姿勢朝規定角度傾斜的傾斜姿勢(第3圖參照)地構成，所以可由支撐彈簧3的傾斜將溝槽T的振動方向設定在任意的方向。在第3圖中，意示地顯示將支撐彈簧3設定成傾斜姿勢的場合中的溝槽T的振動方向TD。在此，將垂直姿勢中的支撐彈簧3作為基準姿勢的情況，支撐彈簧3愈接近傾倒姿勢，即支撐彈簧3的傾斜角度愈是成為比基準姿勢的角度也就是90度更大的角度或是小的角度，溝槽T的上下方向的振動向量是變大。 And the linear feeder X of this embodiment, because it is the plate-shaped support spring 3 that connects the movable portion 2 and the fixed portion 1 to each other, can be changed to: a vertical posture in which the height direction coincides with the vertical direction (refer to FIG. 1 ), and a tilted posture (refer to FIG. 3) inclined from a vertical posture to a predetermined angle, the vibration direction of the groove T can be set to an arbitrary direction by the tilt of the support spring 3. In FIG. 3, the vibration direction TD of the groove T when the support spring 3 is set to the inclined posture is schematically shown. Here, when the support spring 3 in the vertical posture is used as the reference posture, the closer the support spring 3 is to the tilt posture, that is, the more the inclination angle of the support spring 3 becomes an angle greater than the reference posture angle, that is, 90 degrees or At a small angle, the vibration vector of the trench T in the vertical direction becomes large.

且本實施例的直線送料機X，是具備將溝槽T驅動的驅動部，可以使用由驅動部、加振源5、振動子4及可動部2構成的態樣。且，藉由改變振動子4的振動頻率，可以改變將溝槽T驅動的驅動部整體的振動頻率，也可以容易地實現高頻振動搬運(例如1000Hz至2000Hz)。 In addition, the linear feeder X of the present embodiment is provided with a driving unit that drives the groove T, and an aspect composed of the driving unit, the vibration source 5, the vibrator 4, and the movable unit 2 can be used. Furthermore, by changing the vibration frequency of the vibrator 4, the vibration frequency of the entire driving portion that drives the groove T can be changed, and high-frequency vibration transportation (for example, 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz) can be easily realized.

在本實施例的直線送料機X中，藉由採用了上述的構成使朝溝槽T的彎曲撓曲的影響變少，加長溝槽T的長度尺寸設定的情況也可以將形成於溝槽T的搬運路T1上的被搬運物穩定地搬運。尤其是，本實施例的直線送料機X，是溝槽T的撓曲的影響顯著的頻率域也可高頻振動搬運。 In the linear feeder X of the present embodiment, by adopting the above-described configuration, the influence of bending and deflection toward the groove T is reduced, and the length dimension of the lengthened groove T may be set in the groove T The objects on the transport path T1 are stably transported. In particular, in the linear feeder X of this embodiment, high-frequency vibration can be carried in the frequency domain where the influence of the deflection of the groove T is significant.

此外，本實施例的直線送料機X，是振動子4之中，如彈簧地行為的柱部42因為是呈弓狀變形，所以可以藉由將面積的大的壓電元件5貼附在柱部42等的適宜的手段附帶，使振動子4每一個的加振力變大。在此，在第8圖的朝向紙面的左側(第8圖(a))意示地顯示，對於在習知的直線送料機適用的變形成S字形狀的板彈簧可將壓電元件5貼附的部分及壓電元件5的尺寸，在同圖的紙面的朝向右側(第8圖(b))意示地顯示，對於在本實施例的直線送料機X適用的呈弓形變形的柱部(彈簧)可貼附壓電元件5的部分及壓電元件5的尺寸，可以與習知例相比較。 In addition, in the linear feeder X of the present embodiment, in the vibrator 4, the column portion 42 that behaves like a spring is deformed in an arch shape, so the piezoelectric element 5 with a large area can be attached to the column Appropriate means such as the unit 42 are added to increase the vibration force of each vibrator 4. Here, the left side of FIG. 8 toward the paper surface (FIG. 8(a)) schematically shows that the piezoelectric element 5 can be attached to a plate spring deformed into an S-shape applied to a conventional linear feeder. The attached portion and the size of the piezoelectric element 5 are shown schematically on the right side of the paper in the same figure (Figure 8(b)), and the arc-shaped deformed column portion applied to the linear feeder X of this embodiment (Spring) The portion to which the piezoelectric element 5 can be attached and the size of the piezoelectric element 5 can be compared with the conventional example.

尤其是，在本實施例的直線送料機X中，振動子4的柱部42因為是呈弓狀變形的如彈簧地行為，所以與如習知板彈簧呈S字形狀變形的態樣相比較，從變形前的基準狀態至變形最大的變形狀態為止的變位量變大。在此，在第9圖的朝向紙面的左側(第9圖(a))意示地顯示，從在由習知的直線送料機適用的呈S字形狀變形的板彈簧的基準狀態至最大變形狀態為止的變位量D1，在同圖的紙面朝向右側(第9圖(b))意示地顯示，從在本實施例的直線送料機X適用的呈弓形變形的柱部(彈簧)的基準狀態至最大變形狀態為止的變位量D2，可以與習知例相比較。如此，本實施例的直線送料機X，因為是振動衰少且由共振所產生的振動增幅率大，所以壓電元件5的枚數，即使是將板彈簧呈S字形狀變形的習知的直線送料機所具備的壓電元件的枚數的一半，也可以獲得與習知同等的振幅。此是本實施例中的壓電元件5的枚數，是與將板彈簧呈S字形狀變形的習知的直線送料機所具備的壓電元件相同枚數的話，電流是以往一半程度即可的意思。 In particular, in the linear feeder X of this embodiment, the vibration Since the column portion 42 of the mover 4 acts like a spring deformed in an arch shape, compared with the conventionally deformed S-shaped plate spring, from the reference state before deformation to the most deformed state The amount of displacement becomes larger. Here, the left side of Fig. 9 toward the paper surface (Fig. 9(a)) is schematically shown from the reference state of the leaf spring deformed in an S-shape applied to the conventional linear feeder to the maximum deformation The amount of displacement D1 up to the state is schematically shown on the right side of the paper in the same figure (Figure 9(b)). From the columnar part (spring) deformed in an arc shape applied to the linear feeder X of this embodiment The displacement D2 from the reference state to the maximum deformation state can be compared with the conventional example. In this way, the linear feeder X of the present embodiment has a low vibration attenuation and a large vibration amplification rate due to resonance. Therefore, even if the number of piezoelectric elements 5 is a plate spring deformed in an S shape, it is known Half of the number of piezoelectric elements included in the linear feeder can also obtain the same amplitude as conventional ones. This is the number of piezoelectric elements 5 in the present embodiment, and it is the same as the number of piezoelectric elements included in a conventional linear feeder that deforms a plate spring in an S-shape, and the current may be about half of the conventional one. the meaning of.

此外，在本實施例的直線送料機X中，一對的振動子4因為是各別獨立，所以這些一對的振動子4的配置處不需要特別被限制，可以設置在任意的位置。且，本實施例的直線送料機X，因為是將一對的振動子4沿著溝槽T的長度方向H並列配置，所以可以實現高度方向中的小型化(薄型化)。尤其是，本實施例的直線送料機X，是滿足可以確保各振動子4的鐘擺運動的條件的話，因為可以將溝槽T振動使被搬運物搬運，所以也可以獲得將複數振動子4相互連結用的零件(在本實施例的話構成可動部2的側板21)不需要求較高的加工精度的優點。 In addition, in the linear feeder X of this embodiment, since the pair of vibrators 4 are independent, the arrangement of these pair of vibrators 4 does not need to be particularly limited and can be set at any position. Moreover, in the linear feeder X of this embodiment, since a pair of vibrators 4 are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, it is possible to achieve miniaturization (thinness) in the height direction. In particular, if the linear feeder X of this embodiment satisfies the condition that the pendulum movement of each vibrator 4 can be ensured, Since the groove T can be vibrated to transport the object to be transported, parts for connecting the plurality of vibrators 4 (in this embodiment, the side plate 21 constituting the movable portion 2) can also be obtained without requiring high processing accuracy advantage.

又，本發明不限定於上述的實施例。例如，在上述的實施例中，構成配重部43的一部分的振動子4的第2鍔部45及配重部本體46雖例示了別體的態樣，但是將第2鍔部及配重部本體一體地具備的振動子也可適用。在自由端側具備將第2鍔部45及配重部本體46一體地具有的配重部43的振動子4的一例如第10圖所示。 In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, in the above-described embodiment, although the second flange portion 45 and the weight portion body 46 of the vibrator 4 constituting a part of the weight portion 43 exemplify different forms, the second flange portion and the weight The vibrator provided integrally with the main body can also be applied. An example of the vibrator 4 including the weight portion 43 integrally including the second flange portion 45 and the weight portion body 46 on the free end side is shown in FIG. 10.

且配重部的形狀和重量可適宜地變更。例如，如第11圖所示，在柱部42的自由端側，適用朝從安裝部41(第1鍔部44)遠離的方向延伸的形狀的配重部43的話，與由上述的實施例例示的態樣相比較，可以將配重部43的位置，設定在從對於可動部2的振動子4的固定面遠離的位置。 And the shape and weight of the weight portion can be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the free end side of the column portion 42 is applied with a weight portion 43 having a shape extending in a direction away from the mounting portion 41 (the first flange portion 44), the above-described embodiment In comparison with the exemplified aspect, the position of the weight portion 43 can be set at a position away from the fixed surface of the vibrator 4 of the movable portion 2.

且如第12圖所示，適用將柱部42的軸中心作為對稱軸設定成非對稱形的配重部43也可以。又，在第12圖中例示，將沿著柱部42的厚度方向(與同圖的H方向相同方向)的第2鍔部45的尺寸，比沿著柱部42的厚度方向的第1鍔部44的尺寸更短地設定，在將配重部本體46與朝向其第2鍔部45之中的柱部42的厚度方向的面接觸的狀態下固定的態樣。如此，沿著柱部42的厚度方向的第2鍔部45的尺寸可以適宜地變更。在第12圖中，省略將配重部本體46固定於第2鍔部45的螺栓。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a weight portion 43 may be applied in which the center of the axis of the column portion 42 is set as an axis of symmetry in an asymmetric shape. In addition, in the twelfth example, the size of the second flange portion 45 along the thickness direction of the column portion 42 (the same direction as the H direction in the same figure) is larger than that of the first flange along the thickness direction of the column portion 42. The size of the portion 44 is set to be shorter, and the weight portion body 46 is fixed in a state where the weight portion body 46 is in contact with the surface facing the thickness direction of the column portion 42 among the second flange portions 45. In this way, the size of the second flange portion 45 along the thickness direction of the pillar portion 42 can be appropriately changed. In FIG. 12, the bolt that fixes the weight body 46 to the second flange 45 is omitted.

作為配重部，亦可採用正方體(包含立方體)以外的形狀者，例如採用從規定方向所見的形狀是形成圓形和部分圓形的配重部、和形成球狀或是部分球狀的配重部。且，振動子之中至少柱部及配重部的部分是適用整體形成Y字形狀，或是火柴棒形狀的振動子也可以。 As the weight portion, a shape other than a cuboid (including a cube) may be used. For example, a weight portion formed in a circular shape and a partially circular shape as seen from a predetermined direction, and a spherical shape or a partially spherical shape may be used. Heavy part. In addition, at least the column portion and the weight portion of the vibrator may be formed to have a Y-shape as a whole, or a matchstick-shaped vibrator.

進一步，如第13圖所示，各別使用別體的由柱部42、安裝部41及配重部43構成的振動子4也可以。此情況，藉由螺栓等的固定具而將別體的零件彼此一體地組裝也可以，藉由適宜的黏著處理而將別體的零件彼此一體地固定也可以。又，在第13圖中例示，配置於將柱部42的自由端部在厚度方向挾持的位置的配重部本體46彼此是由共通的螺栓N6固定的態樣。同圖所示的振動子4，可以將相當於上述的實施例中的第2鍔部45的部分，藉由柱部42的自由端部、及配重部本體46的一部分形成。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, a separate vibrator 4 composed of the column portion 42, the mounting portion 41, and the weight portion 43 may be used separately. In this case, the individual parts may be integrally assembled with fasteners such as bolts, or the individual parts may be integrally fixed with appropriate adhesion treatment. In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the counterweight body 46 disposed at a position that sandwiches the free end of the pillar 42 in the thickness direction is fixed to each other by a common bolt N6. In the vibrator 4 shown in the same figure, the portion corresponding to the second flange portion 45 in the above-described embodiment can be formed by the free end portion of the column portion 42 and a part of the weight body 46.

依據構成振動子的柱部的高度方向的尺寸和重量，如第14圖所示，不具備第2鍔部和配重部本體，而將柱部42之中的自由端側領域作為配重部43的功能也可以。 According to the height dimension and weight of the column part constituting the vibrator, as shown in FIG. 14, the second flange part and the weight part body are not provided, and the free end side area of the column part 42 is used as the weight part 43's function is also available.

且在上述的實施例中例示了將一對的振動子具備一組的態樣，但是採用將一對的振動子具備複數組，將各組中的振動子的對彼此天地反向配設的態樣也可以。在第15圖顯示的直線送料機X，是將一對的振動子4(振動子4的對)具備2組，各組中的各振動子4，其配重部 43的位置成為相互天地相反的姿勢的方式將安裝部41固定於共通的可動部2。同圖所示的直線送料機X，因為是將全部的振動子4沿著溝槽T的長度方向H並列配設，所以可以將溝槽T的長度尺寸設定成比上述的實施例例示的直線送料機X更大。如此，本發明的直線送料機X的話，藉由增加振動子4的數量，就可以容易地製作將長條的溝槽T振動用的驅動部(具備複數振動子4的驅動部)。又，因為藉由增加振動子4的數量，使沿著溝槽T的長度方向H的可動部2的尺寸也變大，所以依據需要，增加將可動部2及固定部1連結的支撐彈簧3的數量(換言之，由支撐彈簧3所產生的可動部2及固定部1的連結處)也可以。且，藉由將支撐彈簧3，在第15圖所示的垂直姿勢及無圖示的傾斜姿勢之間變更姿勢，就可以將溝槽T的振動方向變更。此情況，支撐彈簧3，是作為振動角度調整用彈簧的功能。 In the above embodiment, a pair of vibrators is provided with a group, but a pair of vibrators is provided with a complex array, and pairs of vibrators in each group are arranged in reverse from each other. It’s okay. The linear feeder X shown in FIG. 15 is provided with a pair of vibrators 4 (pair of vibrators 4) in two groups, each vibrator 4 in each group, and its weight The position of 43 is such that the mounting part 41 is fixed to the common movable part 2 so that the postures are opposite to each other. The linear feeder X shown in the same figure arranges all the vibrators 4 side by side along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, so the length dimension of the groove T can be set to be more than the straight line exemplified in the above embodiment Feeder X is bigger. In this way, with the linear feeder X of the present invention, by increasing the number of vibrators 4, it is possible to easily manufacture a drive unit (a drive unit including a plurality of vibrators 4) for vibrating the long groove T. In addition, since the number of vibrators 4 increases, the size of the movable portion 2 along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T also increases, so if necessary, a support spring 3 that connects the movable portion 2 and the fixed portion 1 is added The number (in other words, the joint between the movable portion 2 and the fixed portion 1 generated by the support spring 3) may be sufficient. Furthermore, by changing the posture between the vertical posture shown in FIG. 15 and the tilt posture (not shown) by changing the support spring 3, the vibration direction of the groove T can be changed. In this case, the support spring 3 functions as a spring for adjusting the vibration angle.

且在本發明的直線送料機中，如第16圖所示，可動部2，可適用在內部空間2S收容振動子4的框體25(中空狀的塊體)。此框體25，是在內部形成可將複數振動子4個別收容的空間者(同圖參照)，或是在內部形成可將1個振動子4收容的空間者，其中任一也可以。藉由這種框體25構成可動部2的情況，藉由在框體25的內部將振動子4配設在被密閉的空間2S而可達成靜音化(隔音化)。框體25，是例如，如第17圖及第18圖(第18圖，是從第17圖的箭頭A方向所見的圖，將框體25及第17圖的紙面的朝向右側的振動子4抽出的圖)所示，可以舉例：具備只有在一側方開口的框體本體26、及將框體本體26的開口從側方可蓋封的蓋部27的型式；或是具備只有朝上方或是下方開口的框體本體、及將框體本體的開口從上方或是下方可蓋封的蓋部的型式(圖示省略)。又，在第16圖至第18圖中例示，將振動子4的安裝部41(第1鍔部44)固定於框體25的螺栓N5的安裝方向是設定成高度方向，將振動子4固定於框體本體26之中相面對於高度方向的上壁部或是下壁部的態樣，但是將螺栓N5的安裝方向設定成溝槽T的寬度方向W也無妨。後者的情況，可將振動子4，固定於框體本體26的側壁部、或是將朝框體本體26的側方開口的內部空間2S蓋封的蓋部27即可。且，框體，是採用將在規定方向(例如溝槽的寬度方向、溝槽的長度方向、或是高度方向)可二分割的一對的框體本體相互地組裝，在內部具有可收容振動子的空間者也可以。 Furthermore, in the linear feeder of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 16, the movable portion 2 can be applied to the housing 25 (hollow block) in which the vibrator 4 is housed in the internal space 2S. This frame body 25 may be a space in which a plurality of vibrators 4 can be individually housed (refer to the same figure), or a space in which one vibrator 4 can be housed. Any one of them may be used. When the frame 25 constitutes the movable portion 2, by arranging the vibrator 4 in the enclosed space 2S inside the frame 25, silence (sound insulation) can be achieved. The frame 25 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 (FIG. 18, is a view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 17, the frame As shown in the drawing of the body 25 and the vibrator 4 on the right side of the drawing of FIG. 17), a case body 26 with only one side opening, and the opening of the case body 26 from the side can be exemplified The type of the cap portion 27 to be sealed; or the type (the illustration is omitted) that includes a frame body that opens only upward or downward, and a cover portion that can seal the opening of the frame body from above or below.

In addition, in a linear feeder that uses a frame as a movable part, the groove is placed on the upper end portion of the frame (as shown in FIG. 18). In the case 25, the posture of the upper wall portion of the case body 26 may fix the groove to the case.

且在本發明的直線送料機X中，可取代將一對的振動子4(振動子4的對)，沿著溝槽T的長度方向H並列的構成，而如第19圖及第20圖(第20圖是從第19圖的箭頭A方向所見的圖)所示，採用在溝槽T的寬度方向W並列的構成。在同圖中，具備將左右一對的側板21由連結板22連結的可動部2，雖然將一對的振動子4(振動子4的對)之中的一方的振動子4固定的側板21、及將另一方的振動子4固定的側板21不是共通的側板21，但是因為側板21彼此是藉由連結板22被連結，所以藉由各振動子4的振動，使可動部2成為直線振動，可以獲得溝槽T的穩定的振動。 Moreover, in the linear feeder X of the present invention, it is possible to replace the configuration in which a pair of vibrators 4 (a pair of vibrators 4) are juxtaposed along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 (FIG. 20 is a view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 19 ), and a configuration in which the trench T is aligned in the width direction W is adopted. In the same figure, there is a movable portion 2 that connects a pair of left and right side plates 21 by a connecting plate 22, although the side plate 21 that fixes one of the pair of vibrators 4 (a pair of vibrators 4) is fixed , And the side plate 21 that fixes the other vibrator 4 is not a common side plate 21, but because the side plates 21 are connected by the connecting plate 22, the vibration of each vibrator 4 makes the movable part 2 linearly vibrate , Stable vibration of the groove T can be obtained.

且本發明的直線送料機，是採用了將一對的振動子(振動子的對)在高度方向並列的構成者也可以(例如第7圖參照)。此情況，可以採用將在高度方向並列的一對的振動子的雙方，配設於可動部的內部空間(由一對的側板及連結板被分隔的內部空間，或是框體的內部空間)的構成，或採用將在高度方向並列的一對的振動子之中相對上側的振動子配設在可動部的內部空間，將下側的振動子配設於比可動部的內部空間更下方的空間的構成。後者的情況的其中一例，如第21圖所示，可以舉例：在可動部2適用框體25的直線送料機X中，將上側的振動子4由載置於將框體25的內部空間2S分隔的底壁部251的向上面的姿勢固定，並且將下側的振動子4，由將安裝部41接觸於將框體25的內部空間2S分隔的底壁部251的向下面的姿勢固定的構成。在同圖中例示，將在高度方向並列的一對的振動子4藉由共通的螺栓N5固定的態樣。且，使下側的振動子4的鐘擺動作不損傷的方式，在固定部1的一部分形成迴避與下側的振動子4干涉用的凹部13。 Furthermore, the linear feeder of the present invention may adopt a configuration in which a pair of vibrators (a pair of vibrators) are aligned in the height direction (for example, refer to FIG. 7). In this case, both sides of a pair of vibrators arranged side by side in the height direction may be arranged in the internal space of the movable part (the internal space divided by the pair of side plates and the connecting plate, or the internal space of the frame) Of the pair of vibrators arranged in the height direction, the upper vibrator is arranged in the inner space of the movable part, and the lower vibrator is arranged below the inner space of the movable part Composition of space. As an example of the latter case, as shown in FIG. 21, for example: In the linear feeder X to which the movable portion 2 is applied to the frame 25, the upper vibrator 4 is placed in the internal space 2S of the frame 25 Divided bottom wall The upward posture of the part 251 is fixed, and the lower vibrator 4 is configured by fixing the downward posture of the bottom wall part 251 contacting the mounting part 41 to the bottom wall part 251 partitioning the internal space 2S of the housing 25. In the same figure, an example in which a pair of vibrators 4 aligned in the height direction is fixed by a common bolt N5. Furthermore, in order to prevent the pendulum operation of the lower vibrator 4 from being damaged, a recess 13 for avoiding interference with the lower vibrator 4 is formed in a part of the fixing portion 1.

且採用：將一對的振動子(振動子的對)在高度方向並列的構成的其中一例，如第22圖所示，將各振動子4的安裝部41(第1鍔部44)共通化，成為以安裝部41為中心上下對稱形的方式將振動子4的對在高度方向並列的構成也可以。此情況，藉由將螺栓螺合在形成於共通的安裝部41的螺紋孔442，而將振動子4的對固定在可動部2即可。 In addition, as an example of a configuration in which a pair of vibrators (pair of vibrators) are aligned in the height direction, as shown in FIG. 22, the mounting portion 41 (first flange portion 44) of each vibrator 4 is common It may be a configuration in which the pair of vibrators 4 are aligned in the height direction so as to be vertically symmetrical with the mounting portion 41 as the center. In this case, it is sufficient to fix the pair of vibrators 4 to the movable portion 2 by screwing bolts into the screw holes 442 formed in the common mounting portion 41.

且本發明的直線送料機，是具備單數的振動子者也無妨。在第23圖中例示，將單數的振動子4固定在構成可動部2的側板21的直線送料機X，在第24圖中例示，將單數的振動子4固定在構成可動部2的框體25(塊體)的直線送料機X。 Furthermore, the linear feeder of the present invention may be equipped with a single number of vibrators. Illustrated in FIG. 23, the linear feeder X that fixes the singular vibrator 4 to the side plate 21 that constitutes the movable portion 2 and exemplifies the singular vibrator 4 that is fixed to the frame that constitutes the movable portion 2 in FIG. 24 25 (block) linear feeder X.

進一步，具備3以上的奇數的振動子的直線送料機也可以。 Furthermore, a linear feeder having an odd number of vibrators of 3 or more may be used.

具備3以上的振動子的直線送料機，或是將一對的振動子(振動子的成對)複數組具備的直線送料機X的情況時，將複數振動子沿著從溝槽的長度方向、高度方向、或是寬度方向的3方向選擇的一以上的方向並列配置即可。因此，例如，在將由相互天地相反姿勢被配設的振動子的對具備2組的直線送料機中，採用在各組將振動子沿著溝槽的長度方向並列，並且將組彼此沿著高度方向並列的佈局配置也可以。 In the case of a linear feeder with 3 or more vibrators, or a linear feeder X equipped with a pair of vibrators (a pair of vibrators), the complex vibrators are moved along the length of the groove ,height One or more directions selected from the three directions of the direction or the width direction may be arranged in parallel. Therefore, for example, in a linear feeder equipped with two pairs of vibrators arranged in opposite postures from each other, the vibrators are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the groove in each group, and the groups are placed along the height The layout configuration of the parallel orientation is also possible.

本發明的直線送料機，是將加振源，取代壓電元件，而由電磁鐵、致動器、或是馬達的其中任一所構成也可以。其中任一的加振源皆可以作成加振源內藏型的直線送料機。又，將加振源外加的直線送料機也可以。 The linear feeder of the present invention may be a vibration source instead of a piezoelectric element, and may be constituted by any one of an electromagnet, an actuator, or a motor. Any one of the vibration sources can be made into a built-in linear feeder. In addition, a linear feeder with an additional vibration source may be used.

In the same figure, the L-shaped anti-vibration spring 16 is applied. By applying such a fixed portion 1, a linear feeder X excellent in anti-vibration performance that prevents and suppresses vibration from being transmitted to the ground can be realized.

防止、抑制振動朝地面傳達的防振性能提高的直線送料機X可以舉例，如第27圖及第28圖(第28圖是從第27圖的箭頭A方向所見的圖，省略振動子4)所示，將上述的各種直線送料機(除了第25圖及第26圖所示的直線送料機X)作為直線送料機本體X1，將直線送料機本體X1在藉由防振單元7吊下的狀態下支撐，在此支撐狀態下將直線送料機本體X1可振動的態樣。防振單元7，是具備：在直接載置在地面上的狀態下被固定的基座部71、及從基座部71朝向上方延伸且在溝槽T的搬運方向相面對配置的一對的立起壁部72、及將立起壁部72的下端部彼此連結的連結壁部73、及將一端部固定在各立起壁部72的上端且可將另一端部固定於可動部2的防振彈簧74。一對的防振彈簧74，是由沿著溝槽T的長度方向H相面對的姿勢配置，各將另一端部藉由螺栓N7固定在可動部2。如此在藉由具備防振彈簧74的防振單元7將直線送料機本體X1支撐的狀態下，將由振動子4及可動部2構成的驅動部驅動的話，可以由與上述的實施例同樣的原理使溝槽T進行沿著長度方向的直線振動，將溝槽T上的被搬運物朝沿著長度方向H的一方向振動搬運，並且可以藉由防振單元7防止、抑制直線送料機本體X1的振動朝地面傳播的事態。又，直線送料機本體X1的安裝塊體11，是作為配重的功能。且，防振單元7，是相當於本發明的「直接或是間接地被固定於地面上的固定部」的零件，防振單元7的防振彈簧74，是相當於本發明的「將固定部及可動部連結的支撐彈簧」者。第27圖及第28圖所示的直線送料機本體X1，是相當於上述的第1圖及第2圖所示的直線送料機X者。 Examples of the linear feeder X that prevents and suppresses vibrations from being transmitted to the ground with improved vibration-proof performance are shown in Figures 27 and 28 (Figure 28 is a view seen from the direction of arrow A in Figure 27, omitting the vibrator 4) As shown, the various linear feeders described above (except the linear feeders X shown in FIGS. 25 and 26) are used as the linear feeder body X1, and the linear feeder body X1 is suspended by the vibration-proof unit 7 Support in the state In this supporting state, the linear feeder body X1 can vibrate. The anti-vibration unit 7 is provided with a base portion 71 fixed in a state where it is directly placed on the ground, and a pair of base portions 71 extending upward from the base portion 71 and facing each other in the transport direction of the trench T The rising wall portion 72 of the first embodiment, and the connecting wall portion 73 that connects the lower ends of the rising wall portion 72 to each other, and one end portion is fixed to the upper end of each rising wall portion 72 and the other end portion can be fixed to the movable portion 2的防震Spring74. The pair of anti-vibration springs 74 are arranged in a posture facing each other along the longitudinal direction H of the groove T, and each other end portion is fixed to the movable portion 2 by a bolt N7. In this way, when the linear feeder body X1 is supported by the anti-vibration unit 7 provided with the anti-vibration spring 74, the driving unit composed of the vibrator 4 and the movable unit 2 can be driven by the same principle as the above-mentioned embodiment The groove T is linearly vibrated along the longitudinal direction, and the object to be conveyed on the groove T is vibrated and transported in one direction along the longitudinal direction H, and the linear feeder body X1 can be prevented and suppressed by the anti-vibration unit 7 The state of vibration that spreads towards the ground. In addition, the mounting block 11 of the linear feeder body X1 functions as a counterweight. Moreover, the anti-vibration unit 7 is equivalent to the "fixed portion directly or indirectly fixed to the ground" of the present invention, and the anti-vibration spring 74 of the anti-vibration unit 7 is equivalent to the "to be fixed" of the present invention. Support springs connected to parts and movable parts". The linear feeder body X1 shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 corresponds to the linear feeder X shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 described above.

又，將防振性能提高的直線送料機X，如第29圖及第30圖(第30圖是從第29圖的箭頭A方向所見的圖，省略振動子4)所示，由防振單元7支撐的直線送料機本體X1，是使用具備在內部空間2S收容振動子4的框體25(塊體)地構成的可動部2者也無妨。又，第29圖所示的直線送料機本體X1，是相當於上述的第17圖所示的直線送料機X者。 In addition, the linear feeder X with improved vibration isolation performance is shown in FIGS. 29 and 30 (FIG. 30 is a view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 29, and the vibrator 4 is omitted). 7 straight line support The feeder main body X1 may be a movable unit 2 including a frame 25 (block) that houses the vibrator 4 in the internal space 2S. In addition, the linear feeder body X1 shown in FIG. 29 corresponds to the linear feeder X shown in FIG. 17 described above.

且在具備複數振動子的直線送料機中，全部的振動子是其中任一皆相同的構造較佳，但是構造不同的振動子的組合也可以。例如，第17圖及第29圖所示的直線送料機X，其朝向紙面的左側的振動子4，是適用將安裝部41、柱部42及配重部43一體地具有者，朝向紙面的右側的振動子4，是適用使構成配重部43的一部分的配重部本體46，與安裝部41及柱部42別體者。如此，複數振動子4的組合可以適宜選擇。 Moreover, in a linear feeder equipped with a plurality of vibrators, it is preferable that all the vibrators have the same structure, but combinations of vibrators with different structures are also possible. For example, in the linear feeder X shown in FIGS. 17 and 29, the vibrator 4 facing the left side of the paper surface is suitable for a person who integrally has the mounting portion 41, the column portion 42 and the weight portion 43, and faces the paper surface. The vibrator 4 on the right side is a body to which the weight part body 46 constituting a part of the weight part 43 is applied separately from the mounting part 41 and the column part 42. In this way, the combination of the complex vibrators 4 can be appropriately selected.

進一步，在具備複數振動子的直線送料機中，在全部的振動子成為各別設有加振源的態樣也可以，但是著眼在共振作用，如第15圖、第17圖、第27圖及第29圖所示，採用只有在被選擇的一個振動子4或是除了全部以外的複數振動子4設有加振源5的態樣也可以。 Furthermore, in a linear feeder equipped with a plurality of vibrators, all the vibrators may be provided with separate vibration sources, but the focus is on resonance effects, as shown in FIG. 15, FIG. 17, FIG. 27. As shown in FIG. 29, only one vibrator 4 selected or a complex vibrator 4 other than all may be provided with a vibration source 5.

本發明的直線送料機，也可以將支撐彈簧適宜變更成：高度方向與垂直方向一致的垂直姿勢、及從該垂直姿勢朝規定角度傾斜的傾斜姿勢變更的具體的機構。因此，將支撐彈簧的傾斜姿勢可從複數傾斜姿勢選擇地設定也可以。此情況，可以將支撐彈簧的傾斜姿勢從預先被決定的複數傾斜姿勢階段地選擇地設定，或可以將支撐彈簧的傾斜姿勢從預先被決定的規定傾斜角度範圍內無階段地調整地適宜選擇地設定也可以。又，在第3圖、第19圖、第21圖、第23圖至第25圖中顯示，在將支撐彈簧3由垂直姿勢及傾斜姿勢之間可變更姿勢地構成的直線送料機X中，將支撐彈簧3設定成傾斜姿勢，將溝槽T的振動方向TD設定成對於水平線傾斜規定角度的角度的情況。 In the linear feeder of the present invention, the support spring may be suitably changed to a vertical posture in which the height direction coincides with the vertical direction, and a specific mechanism for changing the tilt posture inclined from the vertical posture to a predetermined angle. Therefore, the tilt posture of the support spring may be selectively set from a plurality of tilt postures. In this case, the tilting posture of the support spring may be selectively set from a predetermined plurality of tilting posture stages, or the tilting posture of the support spring may be stepless from a predetermined tilting angle range determined in advance It can also be set appropriately and selectively. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3, 19, 21, 23 to 25, in the linear feeder X configured to change the posture between the vertical posture and the inclined posture in the support spring 3, The support spring 3 is set in an inclined posture, and the vibration direction TD of the groove T is set at an angle inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal line.

且將支撐彈簧的姿勢維持在一定的姿勢，將支撐彈簧的姿勢不能變更成其他的姿勢的直線送料機也無妨(第16圖參照)。 Moreover, the linear feeder that maintains the posture of the support spring at a certain posture and cannot change the posture of the support spring to another posture (refer to FIG. 16).

且振動子的柱部，是從安裝部朝高度方向延伸也可以，振動子是進行鐘擺運動時滿足如彈簧地行為的條件的話，材料和形狀是無特別限定。 In addition, the column portion of the vibrator may extend from the mounting portion in the height direction. If the vibrator is subjected to a pendulum motion and satisfies the conditions such as a spring, the material and shape are not particularly limited.

振動子，是將別體形成的柱部及配重部藉由螺栓連結者的情況，將螺栓的安裝方向，設定在溝槽的延伸方向也無妨(第13圖、第25圖參照)。 In the case of a vibrator, the column part and the weight part formed by separate bodies are connected by bolts, and it is possible to set the mounting direction of the bolts in the extending direction of the groove (refer to FIGS. 13 and 25).

且在本發明的直線送料機中，將設定於振動子的一端側的安裝部之中的固定於可動部用的螺紋孔的形成處，設定於從進行鐘擺運動時的支點偏離的位置較佳，但是設定於與支點一致處也可以。 Furthermore, in the linear feeder of the present invention, it is preferable to set the position where the threaded hole for fixing to the movable part of the mounting part set on the one end side of the vibrator is deviated from the fulcrum during the pendulum movement , But it can be set at the same position as the fulcrum.

本發明的直線送料機的話，使一對的振動子彼此的慣性力矩相互抵消的方式調整作為各振動子的柱部(彈簧)的長度及配重部的功能的部分的重量也可以。 In the linear feeder of the present invention, the length of the column portion (spring) of each vibrator and the weight of the part that functions as the weight portion may be adjusted so that the moments of inertia of the pair of vibrators cancel each other.

構成振動子的柱部之中，愈將與溝槽的長度方向相同方向的尺寸(柱部的寬度尺寸)加大地設定，高頻率的振動愈可發生。因此，只將柱部的寬度尺寸設定成適宜的值，就可以使所期的頻率的振動發生。 Among the pillars constituting the vibrator, the size (the width of the pillar) in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the groove is set to be larger Vibrations of frequency can occur more frequently. Therefore, by setting the width dimension of the column portion to an appropriate value, vibration at a desired frequency can be generated.

固定部，是作為配重的功能者較佳，但是不作為配重的功能者也可以。 The fixing part is preferable as a function of a counterweight, but it may be a function of a counterweight.

其他，對於各部的具體的構成也非限定於上述實施例，在未脫離本發明的範圍內可進行各種變形。 In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
