Description

本発明は、複数種類の液体を所定の比率で調合して混合液を得るための液体調合装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a liquid blending apparatus for blending a plurality of types of liquids at a predetermined ratio to obtain a mixed liquid.

複数種類の液体を混ぜ合わせて混合液を得る場合、ノズルから調合すべき液体を吐出して計量装置にセットした計量容器に注入し、計量装置の示す重量によって各液体の混合比率を計算している。このような調合作業を自動で行う装置が特許文献1に記載されている。   When mixing multiple types of liquids to obtain a liquid mixture, the liquid to be prepared is discharged from the nozzle, poured into a measuring container set in the measuring device, and the mixing ratio of each liquid is calculated according to the weight indicated by the measuring device. Yes. An apparatus for automatically performing such a blending operation is described in Patent Document 1.

特許文献1に記載の装置は、アームの先端にマイクロシリンジと加熱部を備えた分注器を取り付け、アームを駆動して分注器により高粘度化合物を、マイクロシリンジにより低粘度化合物を所定の容器に供給する構成となっており、分注器の加熱部により高粘度化合物を熱して高粘度化合物が流動性を示す程度の温度に保つことができ、高粘度化合物を使用する場合であっても短時間に調合することができる。   The apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is equipped with a dispenser equipped with a microsyringe and a heating unit at the tip of an arm, and drives the arm to supply a high-viscosity compound with the dispenser and a low-viscosity compound with a microsyringe. It is configured to be supplied to the container, and the high viscosity compound can be heated by the heating part of the dispenser and kept at a temperature at which the high viscosity compound exhibits fluidity. Can be prepared in a short time.

このとき、多量の混合液を調合するのであれば、各液体の吐出量に多少の誤差が生じても混合比率の精度が問題となることは少ないが、試験などのために、複数の液体の調合比率を少しずつ変えた少量多種の混合液を調合するなどの場合には、各液体の重量精度が大きな問題となる。   At this time, if a large amount of liquid mixture is prepared, the accuracy of the mixing ratio is unlikely to be a problem even if a slight error occurs in the discharge amount of each liquid. In the case of preparing a small amount of various kinds of mixed liquids in which the mixing ratio is changed little by little, the weight accuracy of each liquid becomes a big problem.

調合の際の重量精度を悪化させる原因としては、ノズルの先端から落下して計量容器に注入されるまでの未秤量液体がある。この未秤量液体は、液体の粘度やノズルから計量容器内の液面までの距離によってその重量が変わるため、精密な調合の妨げとなっている。
特開2007−56106
As a cause of deteriorating the weight accuracy at the time of blending, there is an unweighed liquid until it falls from the tip of the nozzle and is injected into the measuring container. The weight of the unweighed liquid changes depending on the viscosity of the liquid and the distance from the nozzle to the liquid level in the measuring container, which hinders precise preparation.

Further, by fitting the protrusion 411 with the receiving hole 29, the height position of the temperature control head 20 in the gripping state can be determined with high accuracy.

図6は、3つの温調ヘッド20にそれぞれ液体A、液体B、液体Cを入れた場合について示している。液体Aについては破線で、液体Bについては実線で、液体Cについては一点鎖線で示されている。   FIG. 6 shows a case where liquid A, liquid B, and liquid C are put in three temperature control heads 20, respectively. The liquid A is indicated by a broken line, the liquid B is indicated by a solid line, and the liquid C is indicated by a one-dot chain line.

温度制御にあたっては、まず使用粘度を決定する。このとき使用粘度は、各液体A、B、Cが変質しない温度範囲で決定する。図6においては、使用粘度を細い実線で示している。液体Aがこの使用粘度となる温度は42℃であり、液体Aを保持した温調ヘッドは液体Aが42℃となるように温度制御手段により温度を制御する。液体B及び液体Cも同じく、各液体が保持された温調ヘッドによりそれぞれ50℃及び30℃となるように温度制御手段により温度を制御する。   In controlling the temperature, first, the use viscosity is determined. At this time, the use viscosity is determined in a temperature range in which the liquids A, B, and C are not deteriorated. In FIG. 6, the use viscosity is indicated by a thin solid line. The temperature at which the liquid A has this use viscosity is 42 ° C., and the temperature control head holding the liquid A controls the temperature by the temperature control means so that the liquid A becomes 42 ° C. Similarly, the temperature of the liquid B and the liquid C is controlled by the temperature control means so that the temperature is adjusted to 50 ° C. and 30 ° C. by the temperature control head holding the liquids.

本実施形態の温度制御手段は、温調機45と、温調ヘッド20に設けた温度計とにより構成している。   The temperature control means of this embodiment includes a temperature controller 45 and a thermometer provided on the temperature control head 20.

次に、液体吐出の際のノズル位置の調整について説明する。ノズル位置の調整は液面高さ計測手段とノズル位置調整手段とにより行う。   Next, adjustment of the nozzle position during liquid ejection will be described. Adjustment of the nozzle position is performed by the liquid level height measuring means and the nozzle position adjusting means.

本実施形態において液面高さ計測手段は、計量容器43に供給した液体の量と電子天秤装置44の秤量値とから算出するように構成している。また、液面高さ計測手段を、レーザ距離計や超音波距離計などをワークベース体10や温調ヘッド20又は吸引吐出器30に取り付けて構成してもよい。また、本実施形態においてノズル位置調整手段は、移動手段である3軸スライダ40により構成している。   In the present embodiment, the liquid level measuring means is configured to calculate from the amount of liquid supplied to the measuring container 43 and the weighing value of the electronic balance device 44. The liquid level height measuring means may be configured by attaching a laser distance meter, an ultrasonic distance meter, or the like to the work base body 10, the temperature control head 20, or the suction / discharge device 30. In the present embodiment, the nozzle position adjusting means is constituted by a triaxial slider 40 which is a moving means.

ノズル位置の調整を行うには、まず計量容器43への液体の供給により上昇する計量容器内の液体の液面の高さを液面高さ計測手段(図示しない)により計測する。そして、ノズル位置調整手段により、計測した液面高さからヘッドのノズルの下端までの距離が一定となるように調整する。   In order to adjust the nozzle position, first, the height of the liquid level of the liquid in the measuring container that rises as the liquid is supplied to the measuring container 43 is measured by a liquid level measuring means (not shown). Then, the nozzle position adjusting means adjusts the distance from the measured liquid level height to the lower end of the nozzle of the head to be constant.

次に、図7を参照して吐出速度調整手段による液体の吐出制御について説明する。図7は、吐出開始からの経過時間と重量計測手段による混合液の秤量値との関係の一例を示す相関図である。図7は、具体例として5gの液体を計量容器に供給する場合について示している。   Next, liquid discharge control by the discharge speed adjusting means will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a correlation diagram showing an example of the relationship between the elapsed time from the start of discharge and the measured value of the liquid mixture obtained by the weight measuring means. FIG. 7 shows a case where 5 g of liquid is supplied to the measuring container as a specific example.

まず、吐出開始時は定量吐出機46による吐出圧力を高くして、短時間で閾値A(例えば4.5g)に達するまで液体を吐出する(高速吐出段階(図7(区間a)))。重量計測手段である電子天秤装置44が閾値A以上の秤量値を計測したら、定量吐出機46の吐出圧力を低くして、閾値B(例えば4.9g)に達するまで液体を吐出する(低速吐出段階(図7(区間b)))。そして、電子天秤装置44が閾値B以上の秤量値を計測したら、定量吐出機46による吐出を終了し(吐出停止段階(図7(区間c)))、吐出ノズル22から混合液までの未秤量液体により必要量の液体を得る。   First, at the start of discharge, the discharge pressure by the quantitative discharger 46 is increased, and the liquid is discharged until the threshold value A (for example, 4.5 g) is reached in a short time (high-speed discharge stage (FIG. 7 (section a))). When the electronic balance device 44, which is a weight measuring means, measures a weighing value equal to or greater than the threshold value A, the discharge pressure of the quantitative discharger 46 is lowered and liquid is discharged until the threshold value B (for example, 4.9 g) is reached (low-speed discharge). Stage (FIG. 7 (section b))). When the electronic balance device 44 measures the weighing value equal to or greater than the threshold value B, the dispensing by the quantitative dispensing machine 46 is terminated (discharging stop stage (FIG. 7 (section c))), and the unbalanced amount from the discharging nozzle 22 to the mixed liquid The required amount of liquid is obtained from the liquid.

本実施形態において、吐出速度調整手段は、混合液の秤量値が所定の閾値を超えたか否かにより吐出速度を調整しているが、吐出圧力と吐出時間から吐出量を算出して、この算出値に基づいて吐出速度を調整する構成としてもよい。また各液体について、吐出圧力の単位時間当りの吐出量をデータとして保持し、このデータに基づいて吐出速度を調整する構成としてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the discharge speed adjusting means adjusts the discharge speed depending on whether the weighed value of the liquid mixture exceeds a predetermined threshold, but calculates the discharge amount from the discharge pressure and the discharge time, and calculates this. The discharge speed may be adjusted based on the value. Further, for each liquid, the discharge amount per unit time of discharge pressure may be held as data, and the discharge speed may be adjusted based on this data.

また本実施形態において、閾値による吐出圧力の切換えは、重量計測手段を加圧手段に接続しておき、重量計測手段によって計測した秤量値を加圧手段に入力することで行っているが、吐出圧力と吐出時間から吐出量を算出して、さらに吐出した液体の比重とからその液体の重量を求める構成としてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the switching of the discharge pressure by the threshold is performed by connecting the weight measuring unit to the pressurizing unit and inputting the weighing value measured by the weight measuring unit to the pressurizing unit. The discharge amount may be calculated from the pressure and the discharge time, and the weight of the liquid may be obtained from the specific gravity of the discharged liquid.

Next, the temperature adjustment head 20 is moved onto the measuring container 43 (FIG. 8C), and a required amount is supplied to the measuring container 43 by discharging liquid. Then, after supplying the necessary amount, the temperature adjustment head 20 is returned to the original position (FIG. 8D).

次に、図9乃至図12を参照して低粘度液体ユニットについて説明する。まず、図9及び図10を参照して低粘度液体ユニットを構成する吸引吐出器について説明する。図9は吸引吐出器の側面構成図であり、図10は吸引吐出器の正面構成図である。   Next, the low viscosity liquid unit will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 9 is a side view of the suction / discharge device, and FIG. 10 is a front view of the suction / discharge device.

吸引吐出器30は、ヘッド本体300に液体の吸引吐出のための通孔301を形成し、このヘッド本体300を把持部材302に固定してなる。ヘッド本体300は固定具305を介して把持部材302に固定される。把持部材302は、ヘッド支持手段42の係止板425に係止するための係止具303と、把持手段41の突体411と嵌合する受け穴304を備えている。   The suction / discharge device 30 is formed by forming a through hole 301 for sucking and discharging a liquid in the head main body 300 and fixing the head main body 300 to the gripping member 302. The head main body 300 is fixed to the gripping member 302 via a fixing tool 305. The gripping member 302 includes a locking tool 303 for locking to the locking plate 425 of the head support means 42, and a receiving hole 304 that fits the protrusion 411 of the gripping means 41.

また、把持部材302に縦向きの溝307を形成して、この溝307にスライダ308を取り付ける。スライダ308を図示しないエアシリンダにより駆動して、溝307に沿って上下に摺動させ、このスライダ308の下部に押出し部材306を取り付けて、この押出し部材306をヘッド本体300に沿って上下動させる。   Further, a vertical groove 307 is formed in the gripping member 302, and the slider 308 is attached to the groove 307. The slider 308 is driven by an air cylinder (not shown), is slid up and down along the groove 307, the pushing member 306 is attached to the lower part of the slider 308, and the pushing member 306 is moved up and down along the head main body 300. .

次に、図11を参照して吸引吐出器へのノズルチップの着脱について説明する。図11は、吸引吐出器の着脱機構の動作を示す正面図である。図11(a)はノズルチップを装着した状態を示し、図11(b)はノズルチップを取り外した状態を示している。   Next, with reference to FIG. 11, attachment / detachment of the nozzle tip to / from the suction / discharge device will be described. FIG. 11 is a front view showing the operation of the attachment / detachment mechanism of the suction / discharge device. FIG. 11A shows a state where the nozzle tip is mounted, and FIG. 11B shows a state where the nozzle tip is removed.

ノズルチップ33を吸引吐出器30に装着する際には、吸引吐出器30をノズルチップ33の上方に移動して下降し、ヘッド本体300の下端部をノズルチップ33に嵌め込んで固定する(図11(a))。この状態から、図示しないエアシリンダによりスライダ308を駆動し、押出し部材306をヘッド本体300に沿って下動させてノズルチップ33の上端を押すことにより、ノズルチップ33を取り外すことができる(図11(b))。   When the nozzle tip 33 is attached to the suction / discharge device 30, the suction / discharge device 30 is moved upward above the nozzle tip 33 and lowered, and the lower end portion of the head body 300 is fitted into the nozzle tip 33 and fixed (see FIG. 11 (a)). From this state, the slider 308 is driven by an air cylinder (not shown), the push member 306 is moved down along the head body 300, and the upper end of the nozzle tip 33 is pushed, whereby the nozzle tip 33 can be removed (FIG. 11). (B)).

次に、図12を参照して、計量容器へ液体を供給する際の吸引吐出器の移動について説明する。図12は、移動手段により吸引吐出器が移動する様子を示した平面図である。   Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the movement of the suction / discharge device when supplying the liquid to the measuring container will be described. FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a state in which the suction / discharge device is moved by the moving means.

液体の調合作業を開始すると、初期位置にある3軸スライダ(図12(a))は、吸引吐出器30の正面に移動して、これを把持する(図12(b))。次に、供給すべき液体に対応するノズルチップ33の上に吸引吐出器30を移動させて、ノズルチップ33を吸引吐出器30に装着する(図12(c))。さらに次に、吸引吐出器30を供給すべき液体を保持する低粘度容器31の上に移動して所要量の液体を吸引する(図12(d))。そして、吸引吐出器30を計量容器43の上に移動させ、液体を吐出して必要量を計量容器43に供給する(図12(e))。   When the liquid preparation operation is started, the triaxial slider (FIG. 12A) in the initial position moves to the front of the suction / discharge device 30 and grips it (FIG. 12B). Next, the suction / discharge device 30 is moved onto the nozzle tip 33 corresponding to the liquid to be supplied, and the nozzle tip 33 is attached to the suction / discharge device 30 (FIG. 12C). Next, the suction / discharge device 30 moves onto the low-viscosity container 31 holding the liquid to be supplied, and sucks the required amount of liquid (FIG. 12D). Then, the suction / discharge device 30 is moved onto the measuring container 43 to discharge the liquid and supply the required amount to the measuring container 43 (FIG. 12E).

必要量を供給した後は、まず、吸引吐出器30をノズルチップ支持具34の上に移動し、ノズルチップ33を取り外して所定の位置に戻しておく(図12(f))。その後は、調合作業を終了する場合には吸引吐出器30を元の位置に戻す。調合作業を継続する場合には、ノズルチップ33の付け替え又はヘッドの持ち替えを行ってさらに計量容器に液体を供給する。   After supplying the necessary amount, the suction / discharge device 30 is first moved onto the nozzle tip support 34, and the nozzle tip 33 is removed and returned to a predetermined position (FIG. 12 (f)). Thereafter, when the blending operation is completed, the suction / discharge device 30 is returned to the original position. In the case of continuing the blending operation, the nozzle tip 33 is replaced or the head is replaced, and the liquid is further supplied to the measuring container.

本実施形態においては、使用した後のノズルチップ33を所定位置に戻しているが、使い捨てるようにしてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the used nozzle tip 33 is returned to a predetermined position, but it may be disposable.

上記のごとく構成した液体調合装置は以下に示す効果を奏する。   The liquid preparation apparatus configured as described above has the following effects.

調合すべき液体のうち相対的に粘度が高いものは高粘度液体ユニットの高粘度容器に保持され、高粘度容器に保持された高粘度の液体をヒータによって温められて液体の温度が室温よりも高温とすることにより、高粘度液体の粘度が減少する。したがって、液体を効率よく吐出すると共に未秤量液体の影響を少なく抑えることができる。   Among the liquids to be prepared, those having a relatively high viscosity are held in a high viscosity container of a high viscosity liquid unit, and the high viscosity liquid held in the high viscosity container is heated by a heater so that the temperature of the liquid is higher than room temperature. By increasing the temperature, the viscosity of the high-viscosity liquid decreases. Therefore, the liquid can be discharged efficiently and the influence of the unmeasured liquid can be reduced.

さらに、制御ユニットの温度制御手段によって各高粘度容器内の液体は、その粘度が均一となるように温調される。したがって、各液体の粘度のばらつきによる未秤量液体の影響を排除して未秤量液体の液量の管理を実現し、混合液の調合精度の向上を図ることができる。   Further, the temperature of the liquid in each high-viscosity container is adjusted by the temperature control means of the control unit so that the viscosity becomes uniform. Therefore, the influence of the unweighed liquid due to the variation in the viscosity of each liquid can be eliminated, the liquid amount of the unweighed liquid can be managed, and the mixing accuracy of the mixed liquid can be improved.

また、ヒータを高粘度容器と吐出ノズルとに取り付けて温度調整することにより、温調ヘッドから吐出される液体の温度は所定温度となるように制御される。したがって、液体を所定温度に保つことでその粘度を一定とし、各液体の粘度のばらつきによる未秤量液体の影響を確実に排除して、未秤量液体の液量の管理を実現し、混合液の調合精度を確実に向上させることができる。   Further, by adjusting the temperature by attaching a heater to the high viscosity container and the discharge nozzle, the temperature of the liquid discharged from the temperature control head is controlled to be a predetermined temperature. Therefore, by maintaining the liquid at a predetermined temperature, the viscosity is kept constant, the influence of the unmeasured liquid due to the variation in the viscosity of each liquid is surely eliminated, and management of the liquid volume of the unweighed liquid is realized. Formulation accuracy can be improved reliably.

また、液面高さ計測手段及びノズル位置調整手段により計量容器内の液面高さを計測すると共に、ノズル下端と液面との距離が一定となるようにノズルの位置が調整される。したがって、当該距離のばらつきによる未秤量液体の影響を排除して、未秤量液体の液量を精確に管理して混合液の調合精度を確実に向上させることができる。   Further, the liquid surface height in the measuring container is measured by the liquid surface height measuring unit and the nozzle position adjusting unit, and the nozzle position is adjusted so that the distance between the lower end of the nozzle and the liquid surface is constant. Therefore, the influence of the unweighed liquid due to the variation in the distance can be eliminated, the liquid amount of the unweighed liquid can be accurately managed, and the mixing accuracy of the mixed liquid can be reliably improved.

吐出速度調整手段により液体の吐出速度が調整される。したがって、吐出開始時には高速に吐出すると共に吐出終了前は低速でゆっくりと吐出し、吐出終了直前には吐出を停止して、温度制御手段及びノズル位置調整手段によって液体の粘度等を一定に保つことで管理された未秤量液体により必要量を精確に供給して混合液の調合精度を向上させることができる。   The liquid discharge speed is adjusted by the discharge speed adjusting means. Therefore, discharge at high speed at the start of discharge, and slowly discharge at low speed before the end of discharge, stop discharge immediately before the end of discharge, and keep the viscosity of the liquid constant by temperature control means and nozzle position adjustment means The required amount can be accurately supplied by the unweighed liquid managed in (1) to improve the preparation accuracy of the mixed liquid.
