Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an industrial horizontal articulated robot used for assembling, inspecting, transporting and the like in a production facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an industrial horizontal articulated robot is installed by a method shown in FIGS. FIG. 7 shows a generally used form in which an industrial horizontal articulated robot is installed on a gantry of equipment or the like as it is. FIG. 8 shows a method of installing an industrial horizontal articulated robot suspended from a ceiling.

[0003]

However, the above configuration has a problem that it is necessary to use an industrial horizontal articulated robot having a different shape if the installation method is different.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an industrial horizontal articulated robot capable of freely selecting a mounting surface without changing the shape of a robot skeleton even if the mounting method is different. I do.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention has a plurality of mounting surfaces to be mounted on the equipment side, and the mounting surface is freely selected according to the convenience of the equipment side. According to this, a plurality of wirings for connecting the robot body and the robot controller and wirings for controlling the peripheral devices of the robot and a plurality of outlets of the air pipes can be selected.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, the industrial horizontal articulated robot comprises four movable axes: a J1-axis part 1, a J2-axis part 2, a Z-axis part 3, and a W-axis part 4. The main body 5 has three mounting surfaces (upper surface 6, rear surface 7, and lower surface 8) used for installation, and the three mounting surfaces can be selected according to the layout on the facility side.

Accordingly, the industrial horizontal articulated robot according to the present invention can be easily used not only with the conventional installation method shown in FIG. 2 but also with the wall hanging in FIG. 3 and the ceiling hanging in FIG.

In accordance with the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, wiring for connecting the robot body to the robot control device, wiring for controlling the peripheral devices of the robot, and the outlet 9 for the air pipe are provided. It can be changed, and the waste of space required for wiring and piping can be eliminated.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of an industrial horizontal articulated robot according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show the embodiment of FIG. By using the rear surface 7 of the horizontal articulated robot 10 of the present invention as a mounting surface and mounting it on the sliding surface of the one-axis traveling shaft 11, the operating range 12 of the industrial horizontal articulated robot can be further expanded.

[0011]

As described above, according to the industrial horizontal articulated robot of the present invention, by providing a plurality of mounting surfaces to be attached to the equipment side, it is possible to install the industrial horizontal articulated robot for the convenience of the equipment side. You can choose your way freely.
