Description

零件供給裝置 Parts supply device

本發明是關於將特定形態的複數個工件在搬運路上以既定的姿勢進行搬運之零件供給裝置。 The present invention relates to a parts supply device that transports a plurality of workpieces in a specific form in a predetermined posture on a transport path.

習知的零件供給裝置(例如參照專利文獻1)，係具備：用於貯留電子零件等的供給對象物、即工件之貯留部、及從該貯留部連繫到供給目的地之搬運路，將投入上游側的貯留部之工件利用振動等的手段在搬運路上排成一列並進行搬運，而供應給下游側的供給目的地。如該專利文獻1所載，搬運路一般大多是藉由搬運面和側壁而形成為剖面大致V字形，該搬運面是形成為在搬運方向呈連續的平面狀，該側壁是相對於該搬運面以大致正交的方式交叉，且用於進行側方的定位。 A conventional parts supply device (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) is provided with a storage part for storing an object to be supplied, such as an electronic component, that is, a work, and a conveyance path connecting the storage part to a supply destination. The workpieces put into the storage section on the upstream side are aligned and transported in a row on the transportation path by means such as vibration, and are supplied to the supply destination on the downstream side. As described in Patent Document 1, the conveying path is generally formed into a substantially V-shaped cross section by a conveying surface and a side wall.

使用這種零件供給裝置可供給各式各樣的工件，在工件當中，有些具有不想讓汙垢附著的要保護面。該要保護面應被保護的理由是依工件而異。可想到的理由包括：例如因工件之特定表面、一部分的材質、形狀、或表面性質而容易附著汙垢等的異物，在讓要保護面所要求的性能有效發揮方面，汙垢的附著會阻礙性能的發揮，或是其強度低而容易損傷。此外，若將工件之能以最穩定的狀態接觸的面設為底面，工件的要保護面一般大多設定在該底面的背面側、亦即平面側。 A variety of workpieces can be supplied using this part supply device, and some of the workpieces have surfaces to be protected that do not want dirt to adhere. The reason why the surface to be protected should be protected depends on the workpiece. The conceivable reasons include: for example, foreign objects that are easy to adhere to dirt due to the specific surface of the workpiece, part of the material, shape, or surface properties, and the adhesion of dirt will hinder the performance of the required performance of the surface to be protected. It is easy to damage due to its low strength. In addition, if the surface of the workpiece that can be contacted in the most stable state is set as the bottom surface, the surface to be protected of the workpiece is generally set on the back side of the bottom surface, that is, the plane side.

縱使是這種具有要保護面的工件，當然也是與其他工件同樣的，按照工件的形狀、下游側的供給目的地之製程，必須使工件的方向正確地朝向同一方向、或是可被認識為同一的方向。此外，為了有效地保護該要保護面，讓要保護面與零件供給裝置側接觸之不正常姿勢必須確實且迅速地排除。 Even if this kind of workpiece has a surface to be protected, it is of course the same as other workpieces. According to the shape of the workpiece and the process of the supply destination on the downstream side, the direction of the workpiece must be correctly oriented in the same direction, or can be recognized as The same direction. In addition, in order to effectively protect the surface to be protected, abnormal postures that allow the surface to be protected to contact the part supply device side must be eliminated surely and quickly.

本發明之目的是為了有效解決上述課題，具體而言，其目的是為了提供一種零件供給裝置，能穩定地讓工件整齊排列而提高供給效率，並能有效避免搬運中的工件之品質降低。 The purpose of the present invention is to effectively solve the above-mentioned problems. Specifically, the purpose is to provide a parts supply device that can stably arrange work pieces to improve the supply efficiency, and can effectively prevent the quality of work pieces from being lowered during transportation.

本發明是有鑑於以上問題點而採用以下手段。 In view of the above problems, the present invention adopts the following means.

亦即，本發明的零件供給裝置，其特徵在 於，係具備第一行走路、第二行走路及第三行走路，該第一行走路，係從平面視概略圓形的未加工區域讓工件一邊旋繞一邊往上方搬運，且為了讓工件在某處往下方落下而具有寬度尺寸逐漸縮窄之第一底壁；該第二行走路係具有第二側壁及第二底壁，該第二側壁，當從該第一行走路落下的工件之底面處於應往供給目的地搬運之正常姿勢時會與其接觸，該第二底壁，當前述底面處於與任一面都不接觸之不正常姿勢的前述工件從前述第一行走路落下時，將該工件的姿勢改變而讓前述底面接觸，藉此將處於前述正常姿勢的前述工件往前述供給目的地搬運；該第三行走路，是將前述底面與前述第二底壁接觸之前述工件從前述第二行走路往前述未加工區域導引。 That is, the parts supply device of the present invention is characterized by It is equipped with a first walking path, a second walking path, and a third walking path. The first walking path is a roughly circular unprocessed area when viewed in plan. The workpiece is conveyed upward while being rotated, and in order to allow the workpiece to Somewhere falling down with a first bottom wall whose width gradually narrows; the second walking path has a second side wall and a second bottom wall, the second side wall, when the workpiece falls from the first walking path When the bottom surface is in the normal posture that should be transported to the supply destination, the second bottom wall will contact the workpiece when the bottom surface is in an abnormal posture that is not in contact with any surface from the first walking path. The posture of the workpiece changes to bring the bottom surface into contact, whereby the workpiece in the normal posture is transported to the supply destination; the third walking path is the workpiece that contacts the bottom surface with the second bottom wall from the The second walking path leads to the aforementioned unprocessed area.

在此的「底面」是指，在零件供給裝置內的搬運中，工件之能以最穩定的狀態接觸之面，換言之是指工件所具有的面當中面積最大的平面。而且該「底面」，並不一定狹義地限定為面對下方，當然不是指藉由零件供給裝置所搬運之工件本身被組裝、設置的方向。 The "bottom surface" here refers to the surface that can be contacted with the workpiece in the most stable state during transportation in the parts supply device, in other words, the plane with the largest area among the surfaces that the workpiece has. Moreover, the "bottom surface" is not necessarily narrowly limited to face downward, and of course does not refer to the direction in which the workpiece itself transported by the parts supply device is assembled and installed.

依據上述構造，當工件到達第二行走路時被適宜地實施姿勢改變，藉此能讓底面成為與第二側壁或第二底壁之任一者接觸的狀態。如此，不須像以往那樣將處於不正常姿勢的工件利用空氣等予以排除等而對工件施加大動作，僅藉由讓其落下的態樣，就能在工件到達第二底壁時將處於不正常姿勢的工件比例大幅減少。結果可提供一種零件供給裝置，能穩定地讓工件整齊排列而提高供給 效率，並能有效避免搬運中的工件之品質降低。 According to the above configuration, when the workpiece reaches the second walking path, posture changes are appropriately implemented, whereby the bottom surface can be brought into contact with either the second side wall or the second bottom wall. In this way, it is not necessary to apply a large motion to the workpiece, such as removing the workpiece in an abnormal posture by air or the like as in the past, only by letting it fall, it will be in a position when the workpiece reaches the second bottom wall. The proportion of workpieces in normal postures is greatly reduced. As a result, a parts supply device can be provided, which can stably arrange the work pieces to improve the supply Efficiency, and can effectively avoid the quality of the workpiece being moved is reduced.

此外，為了讓工件更迅速到達搬運目的地，較佳為將第一行走路設置成在未加工區域之外緣的外側旋繞。 In addition, in order to allow the workpiece to reach the transfer destination more quickly, it is preferable to set the first walking path to be wound outside the outer edge of the unprocessed area.

在此，為了有效地保護位於工件之與底面相反的一側之要保護面，必須以儘量減少該要保護面與零件供給裝置接觸的機會之方式進行搬運。換言之，為了在搬運中將工件的底面與零件供給裝置側接觸的時間儘量拉長，當具有用於將工件投入未加工區域之料斗的情況，讓在第一行走路以不正常姿勢搬運之工件的姿勢改變的部位較佳為設置在，從料斗投入的工件旋繞360°以內的位置。 Here, in order to effectively protect the surface to be protected located on the side opposite to the bottom surface of the workpiece, the surface to be protected must be transported in such a way as to minimize the chance of the surface to be contacted with the component supply device. In other words, in order to make the contact time between the bottom surface of the workpiece and the part supply device side as long as possible during transport, when there is a hopper for putting the workpiece into the unprocessed area, let the workpiece be transported in an abnormal posture on the first walking path The position where the posture changes is preferably set at a position where the workpiece thrown in from the hopper is rotated within 360°.

此外，為了使從第一行走路到第二行走路的工件以更高的比例成為正常姿勢，較佳為，將第二底壁形成為與第一底壁隔著落差，該落差，是在處於底面與第一底壁接觸的姿勢之工件落下時可使姿勢改變成正常姿勢的落差；且第一行走路具有姿勢維持部，該姿勢維持部，是一邊維持處於正常姿勢之工件的姿勢一邊讓工件往第二行走路落下。 In addition, in order to make the workpiece from the first walking path to the second walking path into a normal posture at a higher ratio, it is preferable that the second bottom wall is formed to be separated from the first bottom wall by a drop. When the workpiece in the posture where the bottom surface is in contact with the first bottom wall is dropped, the posture can be changed to a normal posture drop; and the first walking path has a posture maintaining section that maintains the posture of the workpiece in the normal posture Let the workpiece fall to the second walking path.

特別是，為了更確實地讓處於不正常姿勢的工件的姿勢可改變成不正常姿勢以外的姿勢，第一底壁和第二底壁間所形成的落差尺寸，較佳為比工件的底面之外形尺寸更大。 In particular, in order to make the posture of the workpiece in an abnormal posture more reliable, the drop size formed between the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall is preferably larger than the bottom surface of the workpiece The size is bigger.

本發明的零件供給裝置，工件是在底面的相反側具有讓形狀鼓出而形成的鼓出面，對於底面呈大致正 方形者可更有效地發揮效果。更具體的說，當鼓出面為用於構成呈部分球面狀鼓出的光學機械零件之透鏡的情況，對於該工件可更有效地發揮上述效果。 In the parts supply device of the present invention, the workpiece has a bulging surface formed by bulging the shape on the opposite side of the bottom surface, and is substantially positive with respect to the bottom surface The square ones can exert their effects more effectively. More specifically, when the bulging surface is a lens for forming an optical mechanical part that bulges in a partially spherical shape, the above effect can be more effectively exerted on the workpiece.

依據以上所說明的本發明，可提供一種零件供給裝置，能穩定地讓工件整齊排列而提高供給效率，並能有效避免搬運中的工件之品質降低。 According to the present invention described above, a component supply device can be provided, which can stably arrange workpieces to improve the supply efficiency, and can effectively prevent the quality of the workpiece being transported from being degraded.

以下，針對本發明的一實施形態，參照圖式 做說明。 Hereinafter, for an embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to the drawings Explain.

本實施形態之零件供給裝置，如圖1所示般，對於成為主體之缽部1，係形成用於搬運工件W之搬運路3，且在搬運路3的終端側設有：用於變換工件W之平面視的姿勢之成對的姿勢變換裝置5、以及用於檢查工件W的姿勢且將非所期望的姿勢者從搬運路3上排除之排除部E。在圖1及圖3，將工件W被搬運的方向用粗體的箭頭示意地表示。 As shown in FIG. 1, the component supply device of this embodiment forms a conveying path 3 for conveying a workpiece W to a bowl portion 1 as a main body, and a terminal side of the conveying path 3 is provided with: A pair of posture transformation devices 5 in a plan view posture of W, and an exclusion unit E for checking the posture of the workpiece W and excluding undesired postures from the conveyance path 3. In FIGS. 1 and 3, the direction in which the workpiece W is conveyed is schematically indicated by bold arrows.

缽部1形成為平面視大致圓形的研缽狀。缽部1，是藉由未圖示的加振部支承並施加振動。加振部構成為，可讓缽部1產生包含上下方向成分及扭轉方向成分的振動。藉由控制該振動來搬運工件W。 The bowl portion 1 is formed in a mortar shape that is substantially circular in plan view. The bowl portion 1 is supported and vibrated by an unshown vibrating portion. The vibrating portion is configured to allow the bowl portion 1 to generate vibration including components in the vertical direction and components in the twisting direction. The workpiece W is conveyed by controlling this vibration.

缽部1係具有：未加工區域、即貯留部2、及搬運路3。作為供給對象之工件W是從圖1的想像線所示之料斗H投入貯留部2的內側，搬運路3，是從貯留部2朝向外周方向呈螺旋狀搬運工件W。而且搬運路3的下游側是連接於想像線所示之供給目的地R。在本實施形態，貯留部2的表面是構成，未對工件W進行改變方向等的任何加工之未加工面20。 The bowl part 1 has an unprocessed area, that is, a storage part 2 and a conveyance path 3. The workpiece W to be supplied is thrown into the storage part 2 from the hopper H shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1, and the conveyance path 3 conveys the workpiece W in a spiral shape from the storage part 2 toward the outer circumferential direction. Moreover, the downstream side of the conveyance path 3 is connected to the supply destination R indicated by the imaginary line. In the present embodiment, the surface of the storage portion 2 is a structured unprocessed surface 20 without any processing such as changing the direction of the workpiece W.

搬運路3設置成相對於水平面以既定的角度傾斜而形成為概略V字形剖面，利用該剖面形狀，工件W在藉由搬運路3支承的狀態下，呈平面視螺旋狀且逐漸往上方被搬運。 The conveyance path 3 is provided to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane to form a rough V-shaped cross section. With this cross-sectional shape, the workpiece W is spirally conveyed in a plan view while being supported by the conveyance path 3 and gradually conveyed upward .

圖2顯示作為本實施形態的零件供給裝置的 供給對象之工件W。圖2(a)、(b)、(c)分別顯示工件W的外觀圖、俯視圖、底面W3圖。該工件W，例如作為用於構成照明設備(光學機械零件)之LED單元的一零件，係具有：呈平面視大致正方形的板狀之基板W1、以及從基板W1的平面視中央部分呈部分球面狀地鼓出之透鏡部W2。基板W1係具有：設置時為最穩定的底面W3、與該底面W3連續之4個端面當中往供給目的地R供給時被調整成朝向上下方向之上下面W4、被調整成朝向前後方向的前後面W5。在底面W3上，呈概略矩形狀的電極W7成對地露出，在該等電極W7間形成有間隙W8。如此般，工件W是根據電極W7及間隙W8的位置，而形成為可區別在往供給目的地R搬運時面向上下方向的上下面W4、面向沿著搬運方向的前後方向之前後面W5。透鏡部W2之平面視側的表面，在本實施形態設定成在搬運中最需要保護的要保護面W6。形成於該要保護面W6中央之透鏡W9，其材質的摩擦係數比基板W1高，且必須維持高透光性，因此在從料斗H投入到供給目的地R之間，要求儘量以不與其他物體接觸的方式進行移動。 FIG. 2 shows a component supply device of this embodiment. The workpiece W to be supplied. 2(a), (b), and (c) show the external view, top view, and bottom W3 view of the workpiece W, respectively. The workpiece W, for example, as a component of an LED unit constituting a lighting device (optical mechanical part), includes a plate-shaped substrate W1 having a substantially square plan view and a central portion from the plan view of the substrate W1 A lens portion W2 that bulges spherically. The substrate W1 has a bottom surface W3 which is the most stable when installed, and is adjusted so as to face upward and downward in the up-down direction W4 when being supplied to the supply destination R among four end surfaces continuous with the bottom surface W3, and is adjusted so as to face the front-rear direction面W5. On the bottom surface W3, a substantially rectangular electrode W7 is exposed in pairs, and a gap W8 is formed between the electrodes W7. In this way, the workpiece W is formed to be distinguishable from the upper and lower surfaces W4 facing the up-down direction and the front-back surface W5 facing the front-rear direction along the conveying direction when conveyed to the supply destination R according to the positions of the electrode W7 and the gap W8. The surface of the lens portion W2 on the plane view side is set as the surface to be protected W6 that needs to be most protected during transportation in this embodiment. The lens W9 formed at the center of the surface to be protected W6 has a material with a higher friction coefficient than the substrate W1 and must maintain high light transmittance. The object moves in a contacted manner.

此外，如圖2所示般，在本實施形態，根據該工件W的形狀，相較於呈概略板狀的工件W等，工件W彼此的重疊、並列較難發生。因此在本實施形態的零件供給裝置，是省去用於抑制重疊、並列的機構，當然將該等的各種機構另外設置亦可。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, according to the shape of the work W in this embodiment, it is difficult to overlap and juxtapose the work W with respect to the work W or the like having a substantially plate shape. Therefore, in the component supply device of this embodiment, a mechanism for suppressing overlap and juxtaposition is omitted, and of course various other mechanisms may be provided separately.

在本實施形態，當工件W被搬運到姿勢變換 裝置5時，為了使該姿勢變換裝置5發揮正常的功能，必須使工件W的底面W3至少與搬運路3之面向內方的壁接觸而成為正常姿勢(N)。姿勢變換裝置5，係用於在搬運工件W時讓上下面W4、前後面W5正確地對應於相對於搬運方向之前後方向、上下方向，關於該姿勢變換裝置5的具體構造，在此省略詳細的說明。 In this embodiment, when the workpiece W is transferred to the posture change In the case of the device 5, in order for the posture changing device 5 to function normally, it is necessary to bring the bottom surface W3 of the workpiece W into contact with at least the inner wall of the conveyance path 3 to become the normal posture (N). The posture changing device 5 is used to allow the upper and lower surfaces W4 and the front and rear faces W5 to correspond to the front, back, and up and down directions with respect to the conveying direction when the workpiece W is transported.

亦即本實施形態之零件供給裝置的特徵在於，如圖3~圖6所示般，係具備第一行走路31、第二行走路32及第三行走路33，該第一行走路33，係從平面視概略圓形的貯留部2讓工件W一邊旋繞一邊往上方搬運，且為了讓工件W在某處往下方落下而具有寬度尺寸逐漸縮窄之第一底壁31a；該第二行走路32係具有第二側壁32b及第二底壁32a，該第二側壁32b，當從該第一行走路31落下的工件W之底面W3處於應往供給目的地R搬運之正常姿勢(N)時會與其接觸，該第二底壁32a，當處於底面W3與任一面都不接觸之不正常姿勢(圖4(c))的工件W從第一行走路31落下時，將該工件的姿勢 改變而讓底面W3接觸，藉此將處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W往供給目的地R搬運；該第三行走路33，是將底面W3與第二底壁32a接觸之工件W從第二行走路32往貯留部2導引。 That is, the component supply device of the present embodiment is characterized in that, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the first walking path 31, the second walking path 32, and the third walking path 33 are provided. From the plan view, the roughly circular storage part 2 allows the workpiece W to be conveyed upward while being rotated, and has a first bottom wall 31a whose width is gradually narrowed in order to let the workpiece W fall down somewhere; the second walk The road 32 has a second side wall 32b and a second bottom wall 32a. When the bottom surface W3 of the workpiece W dropped from the first walking path 31 is in a normal posture (N) that should be transported to the supply destination R The second bottom wall 32a, when the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (FIG. 4(c)) where the bottom surface W3 is not in contact with any surface is dropped from the first walking path 31, the posture of the second bottom wall 32a Change the bottom surface W3 to contact, thereby transporting the workpiece W in the normal posture (N) to the supply destination R; the third walking path 33 is the workpiece W contacting the bottom surface W3 and the second bottom wall 32a from the second Walk 32 to guide the storage 2.

以下，參照圖3~圖6，依序說明構成零件供給裝置的搬運路3之第一行走路31、第二行走路32及第三行走路33的各構造以及相互的作用。 Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, the structures and interactions of the first walking path 31, the second walking path 32, and the third walking path 33 of the conveyance path 3 constituting the component supply device will be described in order.

第一行走路31，為了從貯留部2的未加工面20直接搬運工件W並將該工件W逐漸往上方導引，係設置成在貯留部2之外緣的外側旋繞。該第一行走路31呈概略V字形，且具有：用於形成朝向該V字形當中的缽部1之中心、亦即朝向內方的面之第一側壁31b、以及用於形成朝向外方的面之第一底壁31a。如上述般，第一底壁31a構成為，在與第二行走路32並排的部位，可在比第二行走路32高出工件W之基板W1的尺寸量以上的位置支承工件W。第一底壁31a設定成使可支承工件W的寬度尺寸逐漸縮小，當第一底壁31a消失，或是不管是處於什麼姿勢的工件W都無法支承的部位成為終端。在本實施形態，第一行走路31的終端是設定在，從料斗H投入未加工面20之工件W旋繞360°以內的位置。在本實施形態，在該第一行走路31之開始和第二行走路32並排的位置附近設置：一邊讓工件W的姿勢改變一邊讓工件W落下的姿勢改變部34。而且，在上述第一行走路31的終端或是其附近設置：一邊維持處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W 之姿勢一邊往第二行走路32讓工件W落下的姿勢維持部35。關於姿勢改變部34以及姿勢維持部35隨後說明。 The first travel path 31 is provided so as to wrap around the outer edge of the storage section 2 in order to directly convey the workpiece W from the unprocessed surface 20 of the storage section 2 and gradually guide the workpiece W upward. The first walking path 31 is generally V-shaped, and has a first side wall 31b for forming the center of the bowl portion 1 in the V-shape, that is, an inward-facing surface, and a side wall for forming an outward-facing surface The first bottom wall 31a of the surface. As described above, the first bottom wall 31a is configured to support the workpiece W at a position that is higher than the second travel path 32 by a size larger than the size of the substrate W1 of the workpiece W than the second travel path 32. The first bottom wall 31a is set so that the width of the workpiece W that can be supported is gradually reduced. When the first bottom wall 31a disappears, or a position where the workpiece W cannot be supported regardless of the posture becomes a terminal. In the present embodiment, the end of the first walking path 31 is set at a position where the workpiece W thrown into the unprocessed surface 20 from the hopper H rotates within 360°. In the present embodiment, a position change section 34 that allows the workpiece W to fall while changing the posture of the work W is provided near the position where the start of the first travel path 31 and the second travel path 32 are juxtaposed. Also, at or near the terminal of the first walking path 31, the work W in the normal posture (N) is maintained The posture maintaining portion 35 that allows the workpiece W to fall toward the second walking path 32 while moving toward the posture. The posture changing unit 34 and the posture maintaining unit 35 will be described later.

第二行走路32，如圖4及圖5所示般係具有第二側壁32b及第二底壁32a。第二側壁32b，是在從第一行走路31落下之工件W的底面W3處於應往供給目的地R搬運的正常姿勢(N)時與其接觸。第二底壁32a，當處於底面W3與任一面都不接觸的不正常姿勢(X)之工件W從第一行走路31落下時，將該工件的姿勢改變而讓底面W3接觸。第二底壁32a形成為與第一底壁31a隔著落差36，利用落差36，在處於底面W3與第一底壁31a接觸的姿勢之工件W落下時可使該工件的姿勢改變成正常姿勢(N)，該落差36的尺寸設定成比工件W之底面W3的外形尺寸更大，因此能讓工件W的姿勢改變順利進行。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second walking path 32 has a second side wall 32b and a second bottom wall 32a. The second side wall 32b comes into contact with the bottom surface W3 of the workpiece W falling from the first walking path 31 when it is in the normal posture (N) that should be conveyed to the supply destination R. The second bottom wall 32a, when the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) where the bottom surface W3 is not in contact with any surface falls from the first walking path 31, changes the posture of the workpiece to bring the bottom surface W3 into contact. The second bottom wall 32a is formed to be separated from the first bottom wall 31a by a drop 36, and the drop 36 can be used to change the posture of the workpiece to a normal posture when the workpiece W in a posture where the bottom surface W3 contacts the first bottom wall 31a is dropped (N) Since the size of the drop 36 is set to be larger than the outer dimension of the bottom surface W3 of the workpiece W, the posture of the workpiece W can be changed smoothly.

第三行走路33具有導引面33a。該導引面33a是用於，將像底面W3與第二底壁32a接觸般之雖底面W3接觸但不處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W從第二行走路32往貯留部2導引。在本實施形態，如圖1及圖3所示般，在設置該第三行走路33的平面視位置用剖面線表示。 The third walking path 33 has a guide surface 33a. The guide surface 33a is used to guide the workpiece W from the second travel path 32 toward the storage portion 2 from the second travel path 32 as though the bottom surface W3 is in contact with the second bottom wall 32a although the bottom surface W3 is in contact but is not in a normal posture (N). In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the plan view position where the third walking path 33 is provided is indicated by hatching.

而且，在本實施形態如圖4所示般，在第一行走路31和第二行走路32開始並排的位置附近設置：藉由讓不處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W從第一行走路31往第二行走路32落下而使工件W的姿勢改變之姿勢改變部34。因為第一行走路31的終端設定在工件W從料斗H設 置位置旋繞360°以內的位置，該姿勢改變部34當然位於工件W旋繞360°以內的位置。具體而言是位於，自工件W從料斗H投入的位置工件W旋繞220~230°的位置。以下，參照圖4(a)的IV部放大說明圖、即圖4(b)、圖4(c)及圖4(d)做說明，圖4(a)係顯示工件W通過姿勢改變部34時之工件W的舉動之剖面圖。在此，本實施形態的姿勢改變部34不僅是指圖3及圖4所具體圖示的位置，而是指處於正常姿勢(N)以外的姿勢之工件W可能落下的全部區域。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the first walking path 31 and the second walking path 32 are arranged near the position where they are arranged side by side: by letting the workpiece W not in the normal posture (N) from the first walking path 31. A posture changing unit 34 that falls to the second walking path 32 and changes the posture of the workpiece W. Because the end of the first walking path 31 is set at the workpiece W from the hopper H The position is rotated within a position within 360°, and the posture changing portion 34 is of course located at a position within 360° around the workpiece W. Specifically, it is located at a position where the workpiece W rotates 220 to 230° from the position where the workpiece W is thrown from the hopper H. Hereinafter, referring to the enlarged explanatory diagram of the IV part of FIG. 4(a), that is, FIG. 4(b), FIG. 4(c), and FIG. 4(d), FIG. 4(a) shows that the workpiece W passes through the posture changing part 34. A cross-sectional view of the behavior of the workpiece W at the time. Here, the posture changing unit 34 of the present embodiment refers not only to the positions specifically shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but also to all areas where the workpiece W in a posture other than the normal posture (N) may fall.

在圖4(b)顯示不處於正常姿勢(N)的底面W3與第一底壁31a接觸之工件W的舉動。如此般底面W3與第一底壁31a接觸之工件W是以滑落而與第二側壁32b接觸的方式朝向第二行走路32落下。這時圖4(b)所示的狀態下之位於第一行走路31的工件W大部分，在往第二行走路32落下時其姿勢改變成正常姿勢(N)。這是因為，將落差36的尺寸確保成至少為工件W的外形尺寸的二分之一以上的尺寸，第一底壁31a和第二側壁32b的夾角為鈍角且剖面視連續。 FIG. 4(b) shows the behavior of the workpiece W where the bottom surface W3 not in the normal posture (N) is in contact with the first bottom wall 31a. In this way, the workpiece W whose bottom surface W3 is in contact with the first bottom wall 31a falls toward the second walking path 32 so as to slide down and come into contact with the second side wall 32b. At this time, most of the workpiece W located on the first walking path 31 in the state shown in FIG. 4(b) changes its posture to the normal posture (N) when it falls on the second walking path 32. This is because the size of the drop 36 is ensured to be at least one-half the size of the outer dimension of the workpiece W, the angle between the first bottom wall 31a and the second side wall 32b is obtuse, and the cross-sectional view is continuous.

圖4(c)顯示處於底面W3與任一面都不接觸且具有透鏡W9的要保護面W6與第一側壁31b接觸之不正常姿勢(X)的工件W之舉動。如此般處於要保護面W6與第一側壁31b接觸之不正常姿勢(X)的工件W，是以從第一行走路31滾落的方式往第二行走路32落下。處於該不正常姿勢(X)的工件W大部分，如圖4(c)所示般成為底面 W3與第二底壁32a接觸的狀態。這是因為，第二側壁32b的尺寸、亦即從第一側壁31b到第二側壁32b間所形成的落差36的尺寸設定成，比平面視正方形的工件W之一邊的尺寸、亦即外形尺寸大若干之既定尺寸。 4(c) shows the behavior of the workpiece W in an abnormal posture (X) in which the bottom surface W3 is not in contact with any surface and the surface W6 with the lens W9 to be protected is in contact with the first side wall 31b. In this way, the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) where the protection surface W6 is in contact with the first side wall 31b falls toward the second walking path 32 so as to roll off from the first walking path 31. Most of the workpiece W in this abnormal posture (X) becomes the bottom surface as shown in FIG. 4(c) W3 is in contact with the second bottom wall 32a. This is because the size of the second side wall 32b, that is, the size of the drop 36 formed from the first side wall 31b to the second side wall 32b is set to be larger than the size of one side of the workpiece W, that is, the outer size Larger set sizes.

圖4(d)顯示，以底面W3與第一側壁31b接觸之正常姿勢(N)的狀態搬運過來的工件W。處於該正常姿勢(N)的工件W，並未藉由該姿勢改變部34改變姿勢而就那樣被搬運到姿勢維持部35。 FIG. 4(d) shows the workpiece W conveyed in the normal posture (N) with the bottom surface W3 in contact with the first side wall 31b. The workpiece W in the normal posture (N) is not transferred to the posture maintaining section 35 as it is without changing the posture by the posture changing section 34.

而且如圖3、特別是圖5所示般，在從姿勢改變部34經過角度相位30°~40°的位置設置姿勢維持部35。姿勢維持部35不僅位於圖3、5所具體圖示的位置，藉由使第一底壁31a成為與工件W之基板W1的厚度相同或較小的尺寸，而是位於處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W可能落下的全部區域。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and particularly in FIG. 5, the posture maintaining section 35 is provided at a position passing from the posture changing section 34 at an angle phase of 30° to 40°. The posture maintaining portion 35 is not only located at the position specifically shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, but by making the first bottom wall 31 a the same size or smaller in thickness as the substrate W1 of the work W, it is located in the normal posture (N) The entire area where the workpiece W may fall.

如圖5所示般，在第一行走路31的終端或是其附近，第一底壁31a的尺寸縮小成不管是處於什麼姿勢的工件W都無法支承，第一側壁31b所成的角度比圖4的情況更傾斜且形成為向上。藉此如V部放大圖之圖5(b)所示般工件W大部分都被保持成正常姿勢(N)，而如圖5(c)所示般能以底面W3與第二側壁32b接觸而往下方滑動的方式落下。 As shown in FIG. 5, at the end of or near the first walking path 31, the size of the first bottom wall 31a is reduced so that no matter what posture the workpiece W is in, the angle formed by the first side wall 31b is smaller The case of FIG. 4 is more inclined and formed upward. As a result, most of the workpiece W is maintained in the normal posture (N) as shown in FIG. 5(b) of the enlarged view of the V part, and as shown in FIG. 5(c), it can contact the second side wall 32b with the bottom surface W3 And slide down to fall.

此外如圖6所示般，上述圖4(c)所示的工件W，之後被從第二行走路32往第三行走路33導引，經由該第三行走路33上的導引面33a而再度送回未加工面 20。如圖6所示般，在第三行走路33的設置位置，第二底壁32a的尺寸也是成為，除了處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W以外無法支承的尺寸。如此，處於圖4(c)的狀態之工件W雖被送回未加工面20，但能維持底面W3接觸的狀態而再度旋繞，依上述圖4(b)所示的舉動而將姿勢改變成正常姿勢(N)，藉由第二行走路32搬運到供給目的地R。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the workpiece W shown in FIG. 4( c) described above is then guided from the second walking path 32 to the third walking path 33 via the guide surface 33 a on the third walking path 33 And send it back to the raw surface again 20. As shown in FIG. 6, at the installation position of the third walking path 33, the size of the second bottom wall 32a is also a size that cannot be supported except for the workpiece W in the normal posture (N). In this way, although the workpiece W in the state of FIG. 4(c) is sent back to the unprocessed surface 20, it can maintain the contact state of the bottom surface W3 and re-circulate, and the posture is changed to the behavior shown in FIG. 4(b) above. The normal posture (N) is transported to the supply destination R by the second walking path 32.

通過第一行走路31、第三行走路33之工件W，藉由第二行走路32，經由上述姿勢變換裝置5及排除部E，僅確認為既定的正確方向的姿勢之工件W被朝向供給目的地R供給。 Workpieces W passing through the first walking path 31 and the third walking path 33, through the second walking path 32, through the posture changing device 5 and the excluding section E, only the workpiece W confirmed to be in a predetermined correct posture is supplied toward Destination R supply.

以上所說明之本實施形態的零件供給裝置構成為，係具備第一行走路31、第二行走路32及第三行走路33。第一行走路33，係具有寬度尺寸逐漸縮窄之第一底壁31a；第二行走路32係具有第二側壁32b及第二底壁32a，第二側壁32b，當從第一行走路31落下的工件W之底面W3處於應往供給目的地R搬運之正常姿勢(N)時會與其接觸，第二底壁32a，當處於不正常姿勢(X)的工件W從第一行走路31落下時，將該工件的姿勢改變而讓底面W3接觸，藉此將處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W往供給目的地R搬運；第三行走路33，是將底面W3與第二底壁32a接觸之工件W從第二行走路32往貯留部2導引。 The component supply device of the present embodiment described above is configured to include the first walking path 31, the second walking path 32, and the third walking path 33. The first walking path 33 has a first bottom wall 31a whose width is gradually narrowed; the second walking path 32 has a second side wall 32b and a second bottom wall 32a and a second side wall 32b, when the first walking path 31 The bottom surface W3 of the dropped workpiece W will come into contact with it when it is in the normal posture (N) that should be transported to the supply destination R. The second bottom wall 32a, when the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) falls from the first walking path 31 At this time, the posture of the workpiece is changed to allow the bottom surface W3 to contact, thereby transporting the workpiece W in the normal posture (N) to the supply destination R; the third walking path 33 is to contact the bottom surface W3 with the second bottom wall 32a The workpiece W is guided from the second travel path 32 to the storage section 2.

依據上述構造，當工件W到達第二行走路32時被實施適宜地姿勢改變，可使底面W3成為與第二側壁32b或第二底壁32a之任一者接觸的狀態。結果，當工件 W到達第二底壁32a時，可將處於不正常姿勢(X)的工件W比例大幅減少。特別是，以往的情況，必須將處於不正常姿勢(X)的工件W利用空氣等從搬運路3排除而對工件W施加大動作、撞撃，但在本實施形態可避免該動作、撞衝，僅藉由讓工件W往平行的行走路落下之小動作就能實現工件W的姿勢改變。如此，儘管將搬運路3設定成較短仍可實現一種零件供給裝置，其能穩定地讓工件W整齊排列而提高供給效率，並能有效避免搬運中的工件W之品質降低。 According to the above configuration, when the workpiece W reaches the second walking path 32, the posture is appropriately changed, and the bottom surface W3 can be brought into contact with either the second side wall 32b or the second bottom wall 32a. As a result, when the workpiece When W reaches the second bottom wall 32a, the proportion of the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) can be greatly reduced. In particular, in the past, the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) must be removed from the conveyance path 3 by air or the like to apply a large movement or knock to the workpiece W. However, in this embodiment, this movement and collision can be avoided. The posture of the workpiece W can be changed only by a small motion of dropping the workpiece W toward the parallel walking path. In this way, although the conveying path 3 is set to be short, a component supply device can be realized, which can stably arrange the workpieces W to improve the supply efficiency, and can effectively prevent the quality of the workpieces W being conveyed from being degraded.

而且在本實施形態，第一行走路31設定成在未加工區域、即貯留部2的外緣之外側進行旋繞，因此既有的搬運路3構造不須進行較大的規格改變，就能更迅速地讓工件W到達供給目的地R。 Moreover, in the present embodiment, the first travel path 31 is set to wrap around the outer edge of the unprocessed area, that is, the outer edge of the storage section 2. Therefore, the existing transport path 3 structure can be changed without major specification changes. The workpiece W is quickly brought to the supply destination R.

特別是在本實施形態，藉由在從料斗H投入的工件W旋繞360°以內的位置設置姿勢改變部34，能使處於要保護面W6接觸之不正常姿勢(X)的工件W之姿勢迅速改變，有助於要保護面W6之更進一步的保護。 Especially in this embodiment, by providing the posture changing portion 34 at a position where the workpiece W thrown in from the hopper H is rotated within 360°, the posture of the workpiece W in the abnormal posture (X) to be contacted by the protection surface W6 can be quickly made The change will help to further protect the surface W6.

而且在本實施形態，第二底壁32a形成為與第一底壁31a隔著落差36，該落差36在處於底面W3與第一底壁31a接觸的姿勢之工件W落下時可使姿勢改變成正常姿勢(N)，且設置姿勢維持部35，該姿勢維持部35可維持處於正常姿勢(N)的工件W的姿勢並從第一行走路31往第二行走路32讓工件W，藉此能使從第一行走路31到第二行走路32的工件W以更高比例確實地成為正常姿 勢(N)。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the second bottom wall 32a is formed to be separated from the first bottom wall 31a by a drop 36, which can change the posture when the workpiece W in the posture in which the bottom surface W3 contacts the first bottom wall 31a falls Normal posture (N), and a posture maintaining section 35 is provided, which can maintain the posture of the workpiece W in the normal posture (N) and let the workpiece W from the first walking path 31 to the second walking path 32, thereby The workpiece W from the first walking path 31 to the second walking path 32 can be surely brought into a normal posture at a higher ratio Potential (N).

特別是在本實施形態，藉由將第一底壁31a和第二底壁32a間所形成的落差36尺寸設定成比工件W之底面W3的外形尺寸更大，可將處於不正常姿勢(X)的工件W更確實地以姿勢改變成不正常姿勢(X)以外的姿勢之方式讓工件W落下。 Especially in this embodiment, by setting the size of the drop 36 formed between the first bottom wall 31a and the second bottom wall 32a to be larger than the outer dimension of the bottom surface W3 of the workpiece W, it can be placed in an abnormal posture (X ) Of the workpiece W allows the workpiece W to fall more accurately by changing the posture to a posture other than the abnormal posture (X).

而且本發明的零件供給裝置，工件W係在底面W3的相反側具有：讓形狀鼓出而形成的鼓出面、即要保護面W6，對於底面W3呈大致正方形者，藉由讓工件W落下而進行姿勢改變，要保護面W6的保護能以簡單的構造促成，且能更有效地發揮效果。依據本實施形態，可將位於保護面W6的透鏡W9予以有效地保護，並將工件W穩定地搬運。 In addition, in the parts supply device of the present invention, the workpiece W is provided on the side opposite to the bottom surface W3: a bulging surface formed by bulging the shape, that is, the surface to be protected W6, and the bottom surface W3 is substantially square, by dropping the workpiece W When the posture is changed, the protection of the protection surface W6 can be promoted with a simple structure, and the effect can be more effectively exerted. According to this embodiment, the lens W9 on the protection surface W6 can be effectively protected, and the workpiece W can be stably transported.

以上是針對本發明的一實施形態做說明，但本發明並不限定於上述實施形態的構造。例如在上述實施形態，將貯留部設定在對工件不進行任何的姿勢改變之未加工區域，在位於貯留部到供給目的地之搬運路上構成第一行走路、第二行走路及第三行走路，但在貯留部的一部分構成該等第一行走路、第二行走路及第三行走路當然也可以。換言之，在搬運路之前使全部工件的底面都成為接觸的態樣亦可。但為了適用這種態樣，在貯留部必須採用特別的構造而使全部工件都到達第一行走路。 The above is an explanation of one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the structure of the above embodiment. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the storage section is set in an unprocessed area where no posture change is performed on the workpiece, and a first walking path, a second walking path, and a third walking path are formed on the transportation path from the storage section to the supply destination However, it is of course possible that part of the storage portion constitutes the first walking path, the second walking path, and the third walking path. In other words, all the bottom surfaces of the workpieces should be in contact before the conveyance path. However, in order to apply this aspect, a special structure must be adopted in the storage section so that all the work pieces reach the first walking path.
