Thus, can be benchmark with the fixing position of clamp portion 62, workpiece 3 is located with respect to fixed mechanism 60.Therefore, (61a~61c), and fixing clamp portion 62 can carry out the clamp and the clamp releasing of workpiece 3 well through using a plurality of movable clamp portion 61.
As shown in Figure 7, breach 68a is formed in the depression by press box 72 sides of fixed guide 68.Here, when workpiece 3 joins between the junction 20 of posture changing unit 10 and conveyance unit 50, control pawl 23 (23d) configurable in the formed space of breach 68a (for example, gap 75 (75d)) (with reference to Fig. 7, and Figure 11 to Figure 13).Therefore, when handing-over workpiece 3, can effectively prevent to control pawl 23 (23d) and produce interference with fixed guide 68.
A plurality of (in this embodiment being 2) guiding pawl 69 (69d) is united with fixed guide 68 and by press box 72 and is clamped workpiece 3.As shown in Figure 7, guiding pawl 69 (69d) with along in opposite directions by the direction of the skeletal lines of press box 72 on isolating mode be installed on the fixed guide 68.And, shown in figure 10, with the jump face 60b of guiding pawl 69 (69d) than the side end face 68b of fixed guide 68 more near the mode of pressing press box 72 sides, will guide pawl 69 (69d) and be installed on the fixed guide 68.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 9, the jump face 60b of the side end face 68b through making fixed guide 68, guiding pawl 69 (69d), and the forward surface 60d that presses press box 72 contact with workpiece 3, workpiece 3 is clamped in fixedly clamp portion 62 capable of using and press section 71.
(61a~61c) and fixedly clip workpiece 3 between the clamp portion 62 pushes the outer edge 4a of workpiece 3 thus for press section 71 and movable clamp portion 61.As shown in Figure 7, press section 71 mainly comprises by press box 72, and a plurality of force application components 73 (73a~73d).
Like Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 7,, and be installed near the central authorities of universal stage 52 by press box 72 (more specifically being rectangular ring) in the form of a ring.Like Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, push the outer edge 4a of workpiece 3 from the 2nd interarea 3b side of workpiece 3 by press box 72.
A plurality of (in this embodiment being 4) force application component 73 (73a~73d) form by elastic components such as springs.As shown in Figure 7, (the corresponding turning binding in 73a~73d) and 4 bights of press press box 72 of each force application component 73.
Here; If each force application component 73 (73a~73d) receive self-corresponding push with cylinder 37 (37a~37d), (that is to say from the direction of surface towards the back side of the paper of Fig. 7; The contrary direction of arrow A R2 direction と) power (with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) on, then each force application component 73 (73a~73d) be compressed.That is to say, press section 35 push that (37a~37d) is as (73a~73d) applies the driving part (the 2nd driving part) of force of compression to the force application component 73 of correspondence with cylinder 37.
On the other hand, (38a~38d) retreat makes roller 39 (39a~39d) and force application component 73 accordingly (73a~73d) separate, then each force application component 73 (73a~73d) to the application of force that applies by press box 72 on the arrow A R2 direction (application of force direction) if barred body 38.
Thus, workpiece 3 because of receive from each force application component 73 (application of force of 73a~73d), and by movable clamp portion 61 (61a~61c), fixedly clamp portion 62, reach and clamp by press box 72.As a result, workpiece 3 is fixed on the fixed mechanism 60.
What like this, the stationary state of the workpiece 3 on the fixed mechanism 60 can be by posture changing unit 10 pushes that ((41a~41c) (the 1st driving part) adjusts the rotary actuator 41 of 37a~37d) (the 2nd driving part) and main unit 40 with cylinder 37.
That is to say, can pushing as the workpiece 3 of conveyance object by the fixed mechanism 60 of conveyance unit 50, posture changing unit 10 with cylinder 37 (37a~37d), and the rotary actuator 41 (41a~41c) fix of main unit 40.
Therefore, in this embodiment, also can with posture changing unit 10, main unit 40, and conveyance unit 50 be referred to as " conveyer ".
< fixing means of 3.2. workpiece >
Figure 11 to Figure 13 is used for explaining the fixing step of 60 pairs of workpiece 3 of fixed mechanism and the rear view that static solution removes step.Here, describe for being the step that the workpiece 3 that erects posture is fixed on the fixed mechanism 60.
In addition, this fixing step is controlled by means of the action of each contained in 90 pairs of posture changing unit 10 of control unit, main unit 40, the conveyance unit 50 key element and is realized.
In addition, before formal fixing step began, conveyance unit 50 moved to the releasing position P11 (with reference to Fig. 2) of delivery position P10, and workpiece 3 is by each adsorption section 25 (25a~25d) absorption and maintenance.
In formal fixing step, at first, utilize swing part 30 to make junction 20 move (swing).Thus, the workpiece 3 that kept of junction 20 is and erects posture and move near the fixed mechanism 60 of conveyance unit 50.
Then, make a plurality of rotary actuators 41 set in the main unit 40 (41a~41c) (with reference to Fig. 2) running, and make each rocking bar 42 (42a~42c) swing.Thus, make each movable clamp portion 61 (movable guide 67 of 61a~61c) (and 67a~67c) to move by press box 72 isolating directions.
Then, make and a plurality ofly push that (running of 37a~37d) makes each barred body 38 (38a~38d) advance from cylinder main body with cylinder 37.Thus, each force application component 73 (73a~73d) by corresponding roller 39 (39a~39d) compression, by press box 72 to (the opposite direction of application of force direction (arrow A R2 direction) of 73a~73d) moves with each force application component 73.
Then, make conveyance unit 50 move to fixed position P12 (with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) from the releasing position P11 of delivery position P10.Thus, respectively push with cylinder 37 (the vertical roller 39 of 37a~37d) (and 39a~39d) to corresponding force application component 73 (73a~73d) compress, and at force application component 73 (73a~73d) goes up rotation.Therefore, conveyance unit 50 moves along the conveyance direction under making by press box 72 and workpiece 3 isolating states.And, pressing under press box 72 and the isolating state of workpiece 3, the outer edge 4a of workpiece 3 compresses the side end face 68b (Figure 10) of fixed guide 68.
Then, compress at the outer edge of workpiece 3 4a under the state of side end face 68b (Figure 10) of fixed guide 68, (41a~41c) running, (42a~42c) turns back to the position before the swing to make corresponding rocking bar 42 to make rotary actuator 41.
Thus, each movable clamp portion 61 (movable guide 67 of 61a~61c) (and 67a~67c) to by press box 72 near direction move.Therefore, the outer edge 4a of workpiece 3 compresses each movable guide 67 (67a~67c).
Then, each movable clamp portion 61 (61a~61c) and fixedly clamp portion 62 compress under the state of outer edge 4a of workpiece 3, push respectively that (37a~37d) turn round makes each barred body 38 (38a~38d) retreat with cylinder 37.
Thus, do not receive and push respectively that (37a~37d) imposes on corresponding force application component 73, and (force of compression of 73a~73d) moves by the application of force direction of press box 72 to each force application component 73 with cylinder 37.And like Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, (67a~67c) and the jump face 60b of fixed guide 68 are shorter with the distance of the forward surface 60d that presses press box 72 for movable guide 67.
Therefore, workpiece 3 be clipped in movable clamp portion 61 (61a~61c) and fixedly clamp portion 62, and press section 71 between, be the workpiece 3 that erects posture and fix by fixed mechanism 60.That is to say,, can be fixed on well on the fixed mechanism 60 being the workpiece 3 that erects posture according to formal fixing step.
Then, workpiece 3 by fixed mechanism 60 fixed states under, (25a~25d) removes adsorbed state in each adsorption section 25.Thus, the maintaining condition of the 20 pairs of workpiece 3 in junction is disengaged, and the fixing step of workpiece 3 finishes.
< the static solution eliminating method of 3.3. workpiece >
Here, with reference to Figure 11 to Figure 13,, describe for the step of the stationary state of removing this workpiece 3 to the workpiece 3 that utilizes fixed mechanism 60 to be fixed as to erect posture.
In addition, it is identical with the fixing step of workpiece 3 that this removes step, controls by means of the action of each contained in 90 pairs of posture changing unit 10 of control unit, main unit 40, the conveyance unit 50 key element and realize.
And before the formal releasing step of beginning, conveyance unit 50 moves to the fixed position P12 (with reference to Fig. 2) of delivery position P10, and workpiece 3 is fixing by fixed mechanism 60.
In the formal releasing step, at first, by fixed mechanism 60 fixed workpiece 3 by the (absorption of 25a~25d) of each adsorption section 25.Thus, workpiece 3 is kept by junction 20 under the state that is fixed on the fixed mechanism 60.
Then, a plurality of movable clamp portion 61 (61a~61c) and fixedly clamp portion 62 compress under the state of outer edge 4a of workpiece 3, a plurality ofly push that (37a~37d) (the 2nd driving part) turns round each barred body 38 (38a~38d) advance from cylinder main body with cylinder 37.
Thus, each force application component 73 (73a~73d) by corresponding roller 39 (39a~39d) compression, by press box 72 to (the opposite direction of application of force direction (arrow A R2 direction) of 73a~73d) moves with each force application component 73.And like Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, (67a~67c) and the jump face 60b of fixed guide 68 are bigger with the distance of the forward surface 60d that presses press box 72 for movable guide 67.Therefore, 60 pairs of fixed mechanisms are fixedly being disengaged of the workpiece 3 that erects posture, and workpiece 3 is by each adsorption section 25 of junction 20 (absorption of 25a~25d) and keeping.
Like this, press section 35 pushes respectively that (37a~37d) (73a~73d) compress thus, can remove the stationary state of workpiece 3 to corresponding force application component 73 with cylinder 37.
Then, a plurality of movable clamp portion 61 (61a~61c) and fixedly clamp portion 62 compress under the state of outer edge 4a of workpiece 3, (41a~41c) (the 1st driving part) running makes each rocking bar 42 (42a~42c) swing to make a plurality of rotary actuators 41.Thus, each movable clamp portion 61 (movable guide 67 of 61a~61c) (and 67a~67c) to move by press box 72 isolating directions.
Then, conveyance unit 50 moves to releasing position P11 (with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) from the fixed position P12 of delivery position P10.Thus, respectively push with cylinder 37 (the vertical roller 39 of 37a~37d) (and 39a~39d) to corresponding force application component 73 (73a~73d) compress, and at force application component 73 (73a~73d) goes up rotation.Therefore, conveyance unit 50 moves along the conveyance direction under making by press box 72 and workpiece 3 isolating states.And, pressing under press box 72 and the isolating state of workpiece 3, the outer edge 4a of workpiece 3 separates with the side end face 68b (Figure 10) of fixed guide 68.Like this, according to formal releasing step, can remove the stationary state of the workpiece 3 that is fixed on the fixed mechanism 60 well.
Then, utilize swing part 30 to make junction 20 move (swing), like this, the workpiece 3 that junction 20 is kept separates with the fixed mechanism 60 of conveyance unit 50.And, when workpiece 3 and fixed mechanism 60 after separatings, make and a plurality ofly push that ((38a~38d) retreat thus, press press box 72 and moves to application of force direction (arrow A R2 direction) barred body 38 of 37a~37d), and the static solution of workpiece 3 is except that the step end with cylinder 37.
