Abstract

When data is initially set and a workpiece is set, a device 1 (a device for preventing screw from being left untightened) supplies power to an electric screwdriver 200-1, monitors a rotation signal and a torque-up signal from the screwdriver, and detects the tightening of each screw. When the number of screws to be set and the number of screws to be used coincide, the device outputs the OK signal, enables operation of a next step device 2 thereby, and operates in the same way as the device 1. When the final step device n outputs the OK signal and releases the workpieces, total tightening is completed in this way. Since the subsequent step does not operate unless the previous step device successfully completes the tightening work of the screw, the work does not proceed in a state where the screw remains in being erroneously tightened. The device for preventing a screw from being left untightened also can be used as a stand-alone device.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the key diagram that expression monomer of the present invention prevents to forget the input/output relation of tighten the screws device 100.As shown in the figure, prevent to forget that the input/output signal of tighten the screws device 100 is as follows.
Input signal
The WORK signal that whether has disposed from the expression workpiece of workpiece sensing sensor (as described later, when subordinate connects a plurality of when preventing to forget the tighten the screws device, for preventing to forget the tighten the screws device beyond elementary, replace the WORK signal, input is from the OK signal that prevents to forget the tighten the screws device of prime).
Take out PART (A), (PART (B) signal and PART (C) signal of the taking-up of representing part A, part B, part C respectively of detecting sensor from part
Rotating signal from the expression of electric screw driver 200 rotation
From the expression of electric screw driver 200 because the TORQUE_UP signal of the screw-clamped completion status that torque magnification is realized
When subordinate connect a plurality of when preventing to forget the tighten the screws device, preventing beyond the last level forget the tighten the screws device from last level prevent forget that expression that the tighten the screws device receives clamps whole clampings of finishing and finishes signal
The OK signal that the expression screw-clamped is normally finished
The expression workpiece is operated the NG signal that is removed halfway
When subordinate connects a plurality ofly when preventing to forget the tighten the screws device, the preventing of last level forgets that the tighten the screws device prevents to forget that to other expression of tighten the screws device output clamps whole clampings of finishing and finishes signal
Among Fig. 1, the state that expression monitors the taking-up of 3 parts (part A~part C), certainly, the part number of supervision is not limited to 3, can be any positive integer.At this moment, monitor the whole parts that take out, not all when tighten the screws, use,, should monitor its taking-up even obsolete part can not be exported the OK signal when using this part owing to operator's mistake.For example, in following examples, use part A and B, do not use part C, but monitor the taking-up of whole part A~C.
Prevent to forget tighten the screws device 100, as shown in Figure 2, inside has the CPU10 that is used to control the processing action that prevents to forget tighten the screws device 100, and, have the display part 30 that operator waits the result of the input state of the operation inputting part 20 carry out initial setting and display operation input part 20 and CPU10 on the surface of device.Display part 30 is visual display unit (VDU)s such as LED or character and picture, can also comprise alarms such as buzzer and report parts.Prevent to forget tighten the screws device 100 also have signal input and output portion 40, storage be used to control the program that prevents to forget 100 actions of tighten the screws device and data storage part 50, supply with the power suppling part 60 of electric screw driver 200 power supplys.Replace power suppling part 60, also power source ON/OFF control signal can be supplied with electric screw driver 200,, again power supply is supplied with motor driver 200 according to this control signal.
With reference to the process flow diagram of Fig. 3~Fig. 5, the control action of the CPU10 that prevents to forget tighten the screws device 100 is described.Before beginning bolt clamp operation, the operator utilizes display part 30 operating operation input parts 20, carries out initial setting.The data of initial setting are the setting-up times of the number of packages of screw number of packages, part A and the B that should clamp, tighten the screws described later prediction timer, and the data of setting at step S1, store storage part 50 into.Then, at step S2, CPU10 finishes the signal transistor turns with whole clampings described later, and, at step S3, with setting content from storing 50 inside that read into CPU10.Like this, initial setting is finished.By the operator, workpiece be configured in fixed workpiece station.
To prevent to forget when tighten the screws device 100 uses as monomer need not have whole clampings and finish the signal transistor.Thereby, step S2 (and step S24 described later) need this embodiment yet in, to monomer use can a plurality of subordinates connect use prevent that the situation of forgetting the tighten the screws device from being illustrated.
Under this state, CPU10 monitors the WORK signal at step S4, when the WORK signal is imported, judges that workpiece is positioned in workpiece station (workpiece mounting table).Then, step S5 is transferred in processing, power source ON signal is outputed to power suppling part 60, to electric screw driver 200 supply powers.Like this, electric screw driver 200 is a serviceable condition.
After this, CPU10 when breaking away from according to WORK signal determining workpiece, at step S7, outputs to power suppling part 60 with power supply OFF signal at step S6, and at step S8, output NG signal shows that in display part 30 warnings workpiece takes out.When showing the warning of NG signal, turn back to step S4, the operator disposes workpiece once more, can continue the processing of CPU10 and operator's screw-clamped operation.When judging that workpiece does not break away from, transfer to step S9 from step S6, monitor that (PART (A) signal judges whether part A takes out.
When part A had taken out, S9 entered step 10 from step, in step 10, the residual number of packages of part A was subtracted 1.Operate in the normal state if set, when then finishing the screw clamp of this part is virtuous, new parts A takes out, or do not have part B to be removed, and the also not taking-up of predetermined part C of present embodiment, therefore, through step S21, S6, S11, S13, carry out the screw-clamped operation of S14~S19.
In this screw-clamped operation, at first,, judge whether electric screw driver 200 rotates at step S14.When electric screw driver 200 does not rotate, turn back to step S6; When rotation, handle entering into step S15, starting bolted prediction timer.The stipulated time of this tighten the screws prediction timer,, preestablish according to the length of screw at step S1.After this, at step S16, judge once more whether electric screw driver 200 rotates.This is because detect in temporary transient midway interruption of tighten the screws operation or coping screw engagement having stopped rotation.When electric screw driver 200 does not rotate, turn back to step S6.
When electric screw driver 200 rotations, at step S17, whether time is up to judge tighten the screws prediction timer.When the time then, at step S18, judge once more whether electric screw driver 200 rotates.When not rotating,, judge and whether import the TORQUE_UP signal at step S19.The TORQUE_UP signal reaches regulation at electric screw driver 200 and clamps the later stipulated time generation of torque.When the TORQUE_UP signal is not imported, mean electric screw driver 200 idle running, turn back to step S6.During this TORQUE_UP signal input, this expression bolt normally clamps, and then at step S20, subtracts 1 from the residual number of packages of screw.Finish up to tighten the screws, all carry out same tighten the screws operation the part A that takes out.When the tighten the screws of identical parts finishes, and the number of packages that should install of part A is 2 when above, takes out next part A, subtracts 1 at step S10 from the part number of packages, to the part A of new taking-up, carries out and above-mentioned same tighten the screws.Like this, when predefined whole part numbers of part A all carry out screw-clamped, take out part B, carry out screw-clamped.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, only set part A and B and be installed in the workpiece, but when the part C mistake is taken out,, also monitor PART (C) signal that takes out sensor from the part of part C then at step S13.When part C is taken out, at step S7, power supply OFF signal is outputed to power suppling part 60, at step S8, output NG signal shows with warning in advance at display part 30.
At step S10, S12 and S20, will subtract each other the result as the residual number of packages of part A and part B and the residual number of packages of screw, be presented at display part 30.
In the above-mentioned explanation, can be when the installation of each part and screw, from residual number of packages, to subtract 1, judge again whether number of packages is 0; But also can be the number of packages that accumulative total has been used, judge again whether this value reaches setting value.
At step S21, when the whole residual number of packages of judging screw, part A and part B is 0, enter into the step S22 of Fig. 5 from step S21, with power supply OFF signal supply power supply unit 60, shutoff is supplied with the power supply of electric screw driver 200, then, at step S23, the OK signal that output expression screw-clamped is finished smoothly.This screw-clamped is finished and also is displayed on display part 30.The operator sees in the screw-clamped of display part 30 and finishes demonstration, knows that promptly the screw-clamped action that is connected the electric screw driver 200 that prevents to forget tighten the screws device 100 finishes.Like this, the operator takes out workpiece from the workpiece station.At step S24, export all to clamp and finish signal, but because of present embodiment is that the monomer use prevents to forget tighten the screws device 100, all clamping is finished signal and do not outputed to the outside.As described later, monomer uses when preventing to forget the tighten the screws device, all clamps the state of finishing signal owing to be in input, enters into step S26 from step S25.Then, workpiece breaks away from, and transfers to step S27 again, turn-offs the output of OK signal.
Below, Fig. 3~Fig. 5 with reference to Fig. 6 and front have illustrated illustrates that subordinate connects a plurality of situation that prevents to forget the tighten the screws device shown in Figure 1.Among Fig. 6, illustration subordinate connect n (n is the integer 2 or more) prevent to forget tighten the screws device 100 (device 1, device 2 ..., device n), these install 1~n correspondence connecting electric screw driver 200 (electric screw driver 1, electric screw driver 2 ... electric screw driver n) situation.
For the purpose of simplifying the description, among Fig. 6, be installed in the part in the workpiece, be set in advance in identical workpiece installation site, and it is only represented to carry out the situation of tighten the screws, therefore, will can not represent to import the PART () signal that expression is taken out the part that respectively prevents to forget the tighten the screws device, but the same with the foregoing description, certainly carry out two kinds of operations of part taking-up and screw-clamped.When PART () signal is not imported, then do not need the relevant treatment step of part with step S9~S13 of Fig. 3, do not need the relevant determine type of part simultaneously with the step S21 of Fig. 4 yet.
Also can replace preventing to forget the different electric screw driver of connection on the tighten the screws device at each, and several or all prevent to forget on the tighten the screws device and to connect same electric screw driver.
When the subordinate connection prevents to forget the tighten the screws device,, replace the OK signal of WORK signal input from preceding stage arrangement at the device of back level.Just, from the OK signal of preceding stage arrangement, as shown in Figure 6, think the WORK signal of downstream component.Therefore, at downstream component, whether in the past stage arrangement is accepted OK signal (the step S23 at Fig. 5 produces), is equal with whether accepting the WORK signal, so, can judge at the step S4 of Fig. 3.At step S4, unless judgement receives the OK signal, otherwise its later step is no longer carried out.
Like this, at downstream component i, when not supplying with,, then can not begin the screw-clamped operation owing to do not pass to power supply to electric screw driver i from the OK signal of preceding stage arrangement i-1.Therefore, though do not show that at display part 30 screw-clamped finishes, even the operation of the screw-clamped of the prime that has been through with, the operator can think exactly that also the operation of prime is incomplete.
Before beginning operation, the operator operates the operation inputting part 20 of 1~n of each device, at step S1, with the data storage of initial setting to storage part 50.Then, make whole clampings finish the signal transistor turns.Preventing to forget tighten the screws device 100, when the phototransistor of photoelectrical coupler PC when being non-conduction, is the states of finishing the signal input that all clamp.Yet, as shown in Figure 6, all clamp when finishing signal output and use transistor Tr when last stage arrangement n connects, the phototransistor of the photoelectrical coupler PC of device 1~device n-1 is an on-state, and device 1~device n-1 finishes the states that signal is not imported for whole clampings.When in that the workpiece station is logical when putting workpiece, with WORK signal supply device 1.Device 1 detects this signal, with ON signal supply power supply unit 60, power supply can be supplied with electric screw driver 200-1 (step S5).Like this, electric power supplies to electric screw driver 200-1.Then, under the control of device 1, with OFF signal supply power supply unit 60, turn-off the power supply (step S22) of electric screw driver 200-1 when carrying out the screw-clamped operation rightly, and produce OK signal (step S23) installing 2.
Device 1, step S23 at Fig. 5, turn-off all to clamp and finish signal output transistor Tr, output all clamps and finishes signal, yet between other devices 2~device n, connect and be used to send this whole signal wires (just, the transistor Tr of signal is finished in the whole clampings that are used for output unit 1, is not connected to other devices) of finishing signal that clamp.As shown in Figure 6, only set for and finish signal, be delivered to other devices 1~device n-1 by signal wire L from whole clampings of last stage arrangement n.As previously mentioned, when the phototransistor of the photoelectrical coupler PC of each device was nonconducting state, input all clamped and finishes signal.When preventing to forget that the tighten the screws device uses as monomer,, therefore be that input all clamps the state of finishing signal because the input terminal of photoelectrical coupler is an off-state.
After this, the device 1 step S25 at Fig. 5 monitors the signal that transmits by signal wire L, judges whether final unit n exports whole clampings and finish signal.When signal is finished in the whole clampings of output, judge at step S26 whether workpiece breaks away from.When breaking away from, enter step S27, setting the OK signal is OFF.
At step S25, all clamp when finishing signal and not importing when judging, just, during the phototransistor conducting of photoelectrical coupler PC, enter into step S28, judge whether workpiece breaks away from, when breaking away from, turn-off the output of OK signal at step S29, when not breaking away from, at step S30 output ON signal, no matter which kind of situation all turns back to step S25.When workpiece breaks away from, turn-off the OK signal at step S29, but when after this turning back to step S28, the situation of mounting workpiece is once more arranged by step S25.For this situation,, connect the OK signal that was once turn-offing once more at step S30.
At device 2, when judging supply OK signal (=WORK signal), carry out the power supply of electric screw driver 2 and supply with, carry out the screw-clamped operation of setting.Its result when carrying out suitable screw-clamped operation, will produce OFF signal and OK signal.After this, also carry out and install 1 same processing.
Equally, stage arrangement n in the end, when suitably carrying out the screw-clamped operation of setting, this device n output OK signal.Like this, whole screw-clamped operations of setting are finished.After this, device n is at step S24, and output all clamps and finishes signal.This signal is finished signal output by whole clampings of also disconnected device n and is output with transistor Tr, is delivered to other devices 1~device n-1.Therefore, the phototransistor of other devices 1~device n-1 is an off state, and each device of judgement has been imported whole clampings at the step S25 of Fig. 5 and finished signal.Under this state, the operator takes out workpiece from the workpiece station.
Therefore, each installs 1~n, judges that at step S26 workpiece breaks away from, turn-offs the output of OK signal at step S27.
