Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feed device for workpieces to robots, automatically working loading devices, assembly devices and the like.
  • Robots which automatically assemble workpieces, are becoming increasingly popular in industry.
  • the workpieces to be assembled must be presented to the gripping devices of the robots in an exact position so that the robot, which is used to working with millimeter precision, can also grip the workpieces in the correct manner and insert them into the processing machine, the assembly machine or the like.
  • sheet metal has been used as a feed device for workpieces to robots, into which depressions are pressed by means of expensive molds into which the workpieces are inserted.
  • At the corners of these sheets feet or stands are attached in the form of pipe pieces, angle iron pieces or the like, so that when stacking several such feeders one above the other direction can be exactly above the other.
  • this feeder device has the advantage that it is not suitable for transport by truck and railways, since stacks of such feeder devices cannot be transported without the risk that the stacks slide against one another and the workpieces slip together during transport.
  • a feeder device for workpieces to robots which consists of plastic-molded frames in which inserts made of thermoformed plastic film, which can be produced cheaply, are inserted. These are U-shaped at their edge and overlap the edge of the frame, in addition they are secured by the fact that the edge of the frame carries projections which engage in holes in the thermoformed film.
  • These feed devices are very suitable for light workpieces that are stored at a greater distance from one another in depressions in the plastic film.
  • thermoforming film bulges downwards, which has the disadvantage that it is transported on country roads and railroad tracks the workpieces are moved out of their deepened storage spaces by vibrations and has the further disadvantage that robots can no longer remove the workpieces from the uppermost of a feeding device standing in a stack, because the height of the individual workpieces is too different.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the present invention to provide a feed device which can be produced cheaply, the parts of which do not deform and / or distort under the load of the workpieces, so that robots can unpack the uppermost feed device properly even when the feed devices are stacked.
  • the invention is that the feed device is formed by a transport and storage box made of plastic with a stable bottom and at least one insert made of thermoformed plastic film, the outer walls of which bear closely against the walls of the transport and storage box and the depressions are in the form of the ones to be inserted Workpieces and preferably as part of these recesses outward extensions of these recesses for gripping fingers gripping the workpiece.
  • thermoformed plastic film can have almost any shape, in particular In particular, outward extensions of these depressions can be provided as part of the depressions for the workpieces to be inserted, so that gripping fingers that grip the workpiece can laterally grip this workpiece. Such depressions have so far either been the reason for a wide-ranging spacing of the workpieces or the deformation of the deep-drawn plastic film inserts. Such deformations can no longer occur.
  • several inserts made of thermoformed plastic film can be set in the same transport and storage box, for example two or three inserts in a row next to each other or four or six inserts in two or even three rows .
  • This feed device is inexpensive to manufacture. Because the transport and storage boxes can be produced in large numbers, which means that the high costs of producing a mold for this transport and storage box can be passed on to this large number of boxes, while the inserts made from thermoformed plastic film can be produced very cheaply because of the Costs for such a form are relatively very low.
  • the transport and storage boxes can be made with a low side wall height, which also lowers the molding cost, and it frames can then be placed on this transport and storage box if this is necessary due to the height of the workpieces.
  • the frames can be produced in the same shape as the transport and storage box, only where the bottom of the transport and storage box is located in the mold is a molded element filling this space inserted into the mold. In this way, the frames have identical dimensions to the side walls of the transport and storage box.
  • the insert made of deep-drawn plastic film has an edge which is U-shaped in cross section and which either lies against the inner wall of the transport and storage box and / or adjacent inserts or covers the edge of the transport and storage box.
  • the upward-facing edge of the transport and storage box has upward projections and the edge of the insert that overlaps this edge and preferably also the bottom of the stacked transport and storage box or the frame placed on the location of the projections having.
  • the interior of the transport and storage box by at least one Inner wall or a pair of closely spaced inner walls is divided. If the transport and storage boxes are each intended to accommodate several inserts, these inserts receive a particularly secure stand within the transport and storage box through this inner wall or this pair of inner walls.
  • inclined surfaces are arranged in the surface of the insert, next to which there are support surfaces reaching to the bottom.
  • the transport and storage box consists of a base and four side walls 2 firmly connected to it. On these side walls 2 there are ribs 3, as well as preferably on the underside of the base, for stabilizing the shape of the box. Centering openings 4 are also located here. in order to bring the box into the correct position in relation to the loading and / or unloading robot, pockets 5 for engaging transport tools for the box and a coding field 6 for receiving a code which, for example which may contain manufacturing dates. On the upper edge 7 there are projections 8. At corresponding points in a box stacked above, there are 9 recesses 10 in the lower edge. This ensures that a large number of boxes are stacked one on top of the other and prevents the boxes from slipping against one another.
  • an insert 11 can be used, which is supported with its side edges against the inner walls of the transport and storage box (FIG. 2), several inserts 12 can also be used in such a transport and storage box, who deal with their an edge against the inner wall of the transport box, with its other edges against each other (Fig. 3), it can also be used a single insert 13 which covers the upper edge 7 of the box (Fig. 4).
  • the insert 11 of FIG. 2 has a series of depressions 14 for receiving workpieces 15. These recesses 14 also have lateral extensions 16 which enable the gripper fingers of the robot to grip the workpiece laterally and also partially from below.
  • the edge 17 of this insert is U-shaped in cross section and is supported against the inside of the side walls 2. In this way, the workpieces are given a secure hold in a secure position.
  • two inserts 12 with different recesses 14 for different workpieces 15 are used in the transport and storage box.
  • the depressions 14 have lateral extensions 16.
  • the edge 17 is U-shaped in cross section. This edge is supported partly against the inside of the side walls 2 and partly against the adjacent edge 17 of the adjacent insert 12.
  • a single insert 13 is provided in the transport and storage box. This overlaps the upper edge 7 of the transport and storage box. This insert 13 therefore has recesses where the upper edge of the transport and storage box bears projections 8.
  • two frames 19 are placed on the transport and storage box 18. These frames are made in the same shape as the transport and storage box, but have no bottom. They therefore have the same shape as the side walls 2 of the transport and storage box 18. These frames 19 are interconnected and connected to the transport and storage box 18 by spring clips.
  • the transport and storage box of increased height produced in this way also has an insert 21 in which workpieces 15 are set. In this case, the edge of the insert 21 is not U-shaped, so that the side walls of the insert 21 rest directly on the side walls of the transport and storage box 18 and the frame 19.
  • the insert 22 is designed so that it has an inclined surface 23 on which the cylindrical workpieces 15 lie. If the lowest workpiece 15A is removed, the next workpiece 15B rolls into the previous position of the workpiece 15A, the other workpieces follow. Here, too, projections are provided in the recess 14 so that the J-shaped gripper 24 of the robot can remove the workpiece.
