During insert action, after starting before connecting moves starts with connecting moves, the controlling party of the motor 44 in driving battery snap-in portion 24
Method is different.
Before connecting moves starts, control unit 27 controls control machine people 5 by position, in being controlled in the position, with
Mode control machine people 5 of the robot 5 along the action of teaching position.That is, before connecting moves starts, control unit 27 passes through position
Control control motor 44, in being controlled in the position, motor 44 is controlled by controlling the rotation amount of motor 44.Also, even
Connect before action starts, when the load of motor 44 exceedes defined first reference value, control unit 27 stops motor 44.In this reality
Apply in mode, measure is as the current value of the motor 44 of the load of motor 44, and control unit 27 is before connecting moves starts by electricity
Flow control controls motor 44, in the current control, when the current value of motor 44 exceedes defined first reference current value
When, stop motor 44.In addition, in fact, be multiplied by when the current value of motor 44 as defined in value obtained by constant more than first
When reference current value is multiplied by the value obtained by identical constant, control unit 27 stops motor 44.
In addition, in the battery altering robot 5 for solving above-mentioned second problem, before connecting moves starts, control unit 27
Control machine people 5 is controlled by position, in being controlled in the position, controlled in the way of robot 5 is along the action of teaching position
Robot 5.That is, before connecting moves starts, control unit 27 controls motor 44 by position control, in position control
In, control motor 44 by controlling the rotation amount of motor 44.Also, before connecting moves starts, control unit 27 passes through first
Control to control motor 44, in described first controls, when the load of motor 44 exceedes defined first reference value, make motor
44 stop.In the present embodiment, measure is as the current value of the motor 44 of the load of motor 44, and control unit 27 is in connecting moves
Motor 44 is controlled by current control before starting, in the current control, exceed when the current value of motor 44 as defined in the
During one reference current value, stop motor 44.That is, the first control of present embodiment is current control.In addition, in fact, being
Value as defined in being multiplied by when the current value of motor 44 obtained by constant is multiplied by obtained by identical constant more than the first reference current value
During value, control unit 27 stops motor 44.
On the other hand, even if starting connecting moves, control unit 27 controls motor 44 also by position control, but when company
When connecing action beginning, control unit 27 controls motor 44 as shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 flow chart.I.e., as shown in figure 15, when
Battery snap-in portion 24 proceeds by the insert action for inserting battery 3 to battery container portion 4, and battery snap-in portion 24 is moved to connection
Action starting position simultaneously starts during connecting moves (step S41), and control unit 27 starts over-load control (step S42).In addition,
In the battery altering robot 5 for solving above-mentioned second problem, as described below, the over-load control of present embodiment is electric current control
System.
Also, when connecting moves starts, when control unit 27 starts to measure the driving of the motor 44 after connecting moves starts
Between (step S43).Then, control unit 27 judges whether battery snap-in portion 24 is moved to connecting moves end position (step S44).
In step S44, in the case that battery snap-in portion 24 is moved to connecting moves end position, control unit 27 makes and battery 3
After the engaging claw 41 that handle portion 14 engages rises, mounting batteries portion 22 and battery snap-in portion 24 is set to be directed away from bus 2
(step S45) is kept out of the way in direction, the insert action knot for inserting battery 3 to battery container portion 4 carried out by battery snap-in portion 24
Beam.
On the other hand, in step S44, in the case that battery snap-in portion 24 is not moved to connecting moves end position,
Control unit 27 judge to start in step S43 measurement, whether the driving time of motor 44 after connecting moves starts have passed through
Defined fiducial time (step S47).In step S47, in the case that the driving time of motor 44 does not pass through fiducial time,
Return to step S44.
Also, in step S47, in the case that the driving time of motor 44 have passed through fiducial time, control unit 27 makes
After the engaging claw 41 engaged with the handle portion 14 of battery 3 rises, motor 44 is inverted, battery snap-in portion 24 is directed away from bar
Keep out of the way (step S48) in the direction of scholar 2.That is, during battery snap-in portion 24 is moved to connecting moves end position, when motor 44
When driving time have passed through fiducial time, control unit 27 makes battery snap-in portion 24 keep out of the way to the extraction direction of battery 3.In addition,
In present embodiment, in step S48, mounting batteries portion 22 does not keep out of the way to the extraction direction of battery 3, but can also be in step
In S48, mounting batteries portion 22 keeps out of the way to the extraction direction of battery 3.
Then, in the case that the over-load control started in step S42 is not over, control unit 27 makes over-load control
Terminate (step S49), the insert action for inserting battery 3 to battery container portion 4 carried out by battery snap-in portion 24 is tied extremely
Beam.In addition, at the end of over-load control, the threshold value of the current value of motor 44 switches from the second reference current value of following explanation
For the first reference current value.
Also, when starting over-load control in step S42, as shown in figure 16, control unit 27 is calculated equivalent to motor
Whether the current value (step S51) of the motor 44 of 44 load, judge the current value of motor 44 more than the second reference current value (step
Rapid S52).Second reference current value is the value smaller than the first reference current value.Also, start over-load control in step S42
When, the threshold value of the current value of motor 44 switches to the second reference current value from the first reference current value.In addition, in fact, in step
In rapid S51, it is that the current value of calculating motor 44 is multiplied by the value obtained by defined constant, is to judge motor 44 in step S52
