Description

本発明は、平面視長方形である複数の移載物を同一平面に並べた積載位置から搬出位置へ前記移載物を移し替えるデパレタイズロボットのロボットハンドに関する。   The present invention relates to a robot hand of a depalletizing robot that transfers a plurality of transfer objects that are rectangular in plan view from a loading position in which a plurality of transfer objects are arranged on the same plane to an unloading position.

平面視長方形である複数の移載物を同一平面に並べた積載位置(移載物を同一平面内に並べ、更に積層している場合もあり、この場合は最上層が積載位置となる)から搬出位置へ前記移載物を移し替える積み降ろし作業は、作業内容自体が単純かつ単調なことから、自動化しやすいと考えられ、従来から様々なデパレタイズロボットが提案されている(特許文献1)。デパレタイズロボットは、多関節ロボットアームの先端に、移載物を保持及び解放できるロボットハンドを装着した構成にすることにより、前記多関節ロボットアームの自由度を利用して、積載位置と搬出位置との位置関係を問わず、ロボットハンドの移動して姿勢を変化させることができ、様々な移載物の積み降ろしができるようにしている。   From the loading position where a plurality of transfer objects that are rectangular in plan view are arranged in the same plane (the transfer objects may be arranged in the same plane and further stacked, in which case the uppermost layer is the loading position) The loading and unloading work for transferring the transfer object to the unloading position is considered simple and monotonous, and is therefore easy to automate, and various depalletizing robots have been proposed (Patent Document 1). . The depalletizing robot has a configuration in which a robot hand capable of holding and releasing a transfer object is attached to the tip of an articulated robot arm, and using the degree of freedom of the articulated robot arm, a loading position and an unloading position are provided. Regardless of the positional relationship, the robot hand can move and change its posture so that various transferred objects can be loaded and unloaded.

特許文献1は、接近離反する一対の把持爪(クランプ部材)の一方に吸着パッドを設けたデパレタイズロボットのロボットハンドを開示する。特許文献1が開示するロボットハンドは、吸着パッドで移載物(物品)を吸着することで、接近離反する把持爪の下端に鉤部を設けることなく、把持爪をそれぞれ移載物の側面に接面させて挟み、移載物を持ち上げることができるようにしている。これにより、吸着パッドを設けない側の把持爪を非常に薄い板面にすることができ、積み降ろして並べる移載物相互の隙間を最小限に留めることができる(特許文献1[0007][0009][0014][0016])。   Patent Document 1 discloses a robot hand of a depalletizing robot in which a suction pad is provided on one of a pair of gripping claws (clamp members) that approach and separate from each other. The robot hand disclosed in Patent Document 1 uses a suction pad to adsorb a transfer object (article), so that the gripping claws are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the transfer object without providing a hook at the lower end of the gripping claws that are approaching and separating. They are placed in contact with each other so that the transfer object can be lifted. As a result, the gripping claw on the side where the suction pad is not provided can be formed into a very thin plate surface, and the gap between the transfer objects to be loaded and unloaded can be kept to a minimum (Patent Document 1 [0007] [0007] [0009] [0014] [0016]).

実開平04-122485号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 04-122485

特許文献1は、ロボットハンドで保持する移載物を明示していないが、図示から、おそらく直方体外形の箱体を想定していると思われる。平面視長方形である移載物が箱体である場合、移載物相互の隙間を考えなければ、特許文献1が示す従来技術のように、把持爪の下端に鉤部を設けることが、最も安易かつ確実に移載物を保持できると考えられる。また、特許文献1が目的とする移載物相互の隙間を抑えるには、箱体である移載物のいずれかの面を吸着し、積み降ろし後に前記吸着を解除する吸着パッド等が適当だとも言える。   Although Patent Document 1 does not clearly show a transfer object to be held by a robot hand, it is assumed from the drawing that a box with a rectangular parallelepiped shape is assumed. When the transfer object having a rectangular shape in plan view is a box body, as long as the gap between the transfer objects is not considered, it is most preferable to provide a collar at the lower end of the gripping claw as in the prior art shown in Patent Document 1. It is thought that the transferred material can be held easily and reliably. Moreover, in order to suppress the gap between the transfer objects, which is the object of Patent Document 1, an adsorption pad or the like that adsorbs any surface of the transfer object that is a box and releases the adsorption after unloading is appropriate. It can also be said.

しかし、平面視長方形である移載物が袋体である場合、袋体が紙製又は樹脂フィルム製で可撓性を有し、また内容物が粒状物等で動性を有することから、把持爪に鉤部又は吸着パッドを設けたロボットハンドではうまく保持できない。把持爪の先端に鉤部を設けたロボットハンドの場合、鉤部が袋体の下に回り込めば確かに袋体を抱え込み、持ち上げやすいと考えられるが、鉤部が袋体を傷つける虞が否めない。更に、鉤部を袋体の下に回り込ませることが難しい。また、把持爪に吸着パッドを設けたロボットハンドの場合、袋体の表面が凸凹で一様な平面でないため、うまく吸着パッドを吸着できない虞がある。   However, when the transfer object that is rectangular in plan view is a bag body, the bag body is made of paper or a resin film and is flexible, and the contents are granular and moveable. A robot hand with a hook or a suction pad on the nail cannot be held well. In the case of a robot hand with a hook at the tip of the gripping claw, it is likely that the bag will be easily held and lifted if the hook goes around under the bag, but there is a risk that the hook will damage the bag. Absent. Furthermore, it is difficult to wrap the heel part under the bag. Further, in the case of a robot hand provided with suction pads on the gripping claws, there is a possibility that the suction pads cannot be sucked well because the surface of the bag body is uneven and not a uniform plane.

平面視長方形である移載物が箱体である場合、箱体は積載位置に整然と同一平面に並べることができるため、特許文献1が開示するロボットハンドを備えたロボットアームからデパレタイズロボットを構成しやすい。しかし、デパレタイズロボットは、多少の荷崩れがあり、必ずしも整然と並べることのできない袋体を移載物とする場合、作業者に代わって用いること、すなわち自動化の有用性が高くなる。そこで、平面視長方形である移載物が袋体である場合に焦点を絞り、袋体を破らずに、確実に持ち上げることのできるロボットハンドを備えたロボットアームからデパレタイズロボットを構成するため、前記ロボットハンドを検討した。   When the transfer object having a rectangular shape in plan view is a box, the box can be neatly arranged on the same plane at the loading position, so that the depalletizing robot is configured from the robot arm provided with the robot hand disclosed in Patent Document 1. It's easy to do. However, the depalletizing robot is used in place of the operator, that is, the usefulness of automation is increased when a bag body that has some load collapse and cannot always be arranged in an orderly manner is used as a transfer object. Therefore, in order to construct a depalletizing robot from a robot arm equipped with a robot hand that can be lifted reliably without breaking the bag body when the transfer object that is rectangular in plan view is a bag body, The robot hand was examined.

検討の結果、平面視長方形である複数の移載物を同一平面に並べた積載位置から搬出位置へ前記移載物を移し替えるデパレタイズロボットのロボットハンドであって、移載物の厚みより長い抱え込み爪を、移載物の一辺より長い間隔で前後一対配し、各抱え込み爪の下端部に抱え込みロッドを架け渡して抱え込み枠を構成し、互いの抱え込みロッドを平行にし、鉛直線に対して左右対称に対向させた左右一対の抱え込み枠それぞれを、各抱え込み爪の上端部に設けた揺動軸を本体部に軸着して前記本体部に支持させ、前記抱え込みロッドが平行を保ったまま各抱え込み枠を揺動させる爪揺動手段を本体部に設けたデパレタイズロボットのロボットハンドを開発した。ここにいう「前後」「左右」は、説明の便宜上直交する2方向を指すものであり、また「鉛直線」は水平面内に含まれる前記「前後」「左右」両方に対する直交方向の線を意味する。   As a result of examination, a robot hand of a depalletizing robot that transfers a plurality of transfer objects that are rectangular in plan view from a loading position in which they are arranged on the same plane to a carry-out position, which is longer than the thickness of the transfer object A pair of holding claws are arranged in the front and back at intervals longer than one side of the transfer object, and a holding frame is constructed by laying a holding rod on the lower end of each holding claw, making the holding rods parallel to each other and with respect to the vertical line Each of the pair of left and right holding frames that are opposed to each other symmetrically is supported by the main body with a swinging shaft provided at the upper end of each holding claw attached to the main body, and the holding rod remains parallel. A depalletizing robot hand has been developed that has a claw swinging mechanism on the body to swing each carrying frame. Here, “front and back” and “left and right” refer to two directions orthogonal to each other for convenience of explanation, and “vertical line” means a line in the orthogonal direction with respect to both “front and rear” and “left and right” included in the horizontal plane. To do.

抱え込み爪は、左右一対に配した抱え込み枠それぞれの抱え込みロッドが、移載物の他辺の間隔より離れた開位置と、移載物の他辺の間隔より近づいた閉位置との間で揺動する。抱え込み爪の「下端部」は、抱え込み爪の最下端のほか、後述するように、抱え込みロッド下方に緩衝ローラ等を取り付ける余白を設ける最下端近傍を含む。抱え込み爪の「上端部」も同様である。爪揺動手段は、従来同種のロボットハンドに見られるステッピングモータや油圧シリンダ又はエアシリンダを例示できる。ステッピングモータは、本体部に軸着された抱え込み爪の揺動軸に直接又は間接に回転軸を連結し、前記揺動軸を所定角度の範囲で回転させて抱え込み爪を揺動させる。油圧シリンダ又はエアシリンダは、本体部に軸着された抱え込み爪の揺動軸より上又は下にロッドを接続し、前記ロッドを伸縮させて抱え込み爪を揺動させる。   The holding claw swings between the open position where the holding rods of the holding frames arranged in a pair on the left and right sides are separated from the distance between the other sides of the transferred object and the closed position where the distance between the other sides of the transferred object is closer. Move. The “lower end portion” of the holding claw includes, in addition to the lowermost end of the holding claw, the vicinity of the lowermost end where a margin for attaching a buffer roller or the like is provided below the holding rod, as will be described later. The same applies to the “upper end” of the holding nail. The claw swinging means can be exemplified by a stepping motor, a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder, which is conventionally found in the same kind of robot hand. The stepping motor connects the rotating shaft directly or indirectly to the swinging shaft of the holding claw that is pivotally attached to the main body, and swings the holding claw by rotating the swinging shaft within a predetermined angle range. The hydraulic cylinder or the air cylinder connects a rod above or below the swinging shaft of the holding claw pivotally attached to the main body, and swings the holding claw by expanding and contracting the rod.

本発明のロボットハンドは、抱え込み爪で移載物を挟むのではなく、前後一対の抱え込み爪の下端部に架け渡した抱え込みロッドを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませ、前記移載物を抱え込むように持ち上げる。このため、抱え込みロッドを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませる際に抱え込み爪が移載物と干渉しないように、抱え込み枠を構成する前後一対の抱え込み爪は、それぞれが移載物の厚みより長く、また平面視長方形である移載物の一辺(例えば長辺)より長い間隔で離れている必要がある。抱え込みロッドは、移載物の下面側に潜りませる際に移載物を傷つける虞のある角部のない表面が好ましいが、持ち上げた移載物がずり落ちないように、抱え込み爪に対して回動不能に固定されていることが望ましい。   The robot hand according to the present invention does not sandwich the transfer object with the holding claws, but holds the transfer object by letting the holding rod spanned between the lower ends of the pair of front and rear holding claws into the lower surface side of the transfer object. Lift up. For this reason, each of the pair of front and rear holding claws constituting the holding frame is longer than the thickness of the transferred object so that the holding claws do not interfere with the transferred object when the holding rod is brought into the lower surface side of the transferred object. In addition, it is necessary to be separated by a longer interval than one side (for example, the long side) of the transfer object that is rectangular in plan view. The holding rod is preferably a non-cornered surface that may damage the transferred object when it is dive into the lower surface of the transferred object. It is desirable to be fixed immovable.

抱え込み爪は、抱え込みロッドを架設した部位を、揺動軸から前記抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに曲げるとよい。曲がった部分から上、本体部に軸着された部位を上爪部、逆に曲がった部分から下、抱え込みロッドを架設した部位を下爪部とした場合、下爪部は上爪部に対して抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに曲がっていることになる。抱え込み爪は、抱え込みロッドが移載物の他辺より離れた開位置から移載物の他辺より近づいた閉位置まで揺動することにより、前記抱え込みロッドを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませる。このとき、抱え込み爪が下爪部を前記抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに曲げていると、抱え込みロッドを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませやすい。上爪部に対する下爪部の曲がりは、抱え込み爪を湾曲させたり、折り曲げたりして、抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに近づく側面視形状により実現する。   The holding claw may be formed by bending a portion where the holding rod is installed in a direction in which the holding rod approaches the swinging shaft. When the upper nail part is the upper nail part from the bent part, the lower part is the lower nail part from the bent part, the lower nail part is against the upper nail part. Thus, the holding rods are bent so as to approach each other. The holding claw swings from the open position where the holding rod is away from the other side of the transferred object to the closed position where the holding rod is closer to the other side of the transferred object, thereby causing the holding rod to enter the lower surface side of the transferred object. . At this time, if the holding claw bends the lower claw portion in a direction in which the holding rod approaches each other, the holding rod is likely to sink into the lower surface side of the transfer object. The bending of the lower claw portion with respect to the upper claw portion is realized by a side view shape in which the holding claw is bent or bent and the holding rods approach each other.

また、抱え込み爪は、抱え込みロッドを架設した部位を、揺動軸から前記抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに屈曲自在にするとよい。ここにいう「抱え込みロッドを架設した部位」を上述した下爪部とし、前記下爪部を上爪部に対して屈曲自在にしてもよい。しかし、前記下爪部を分割した下方である先端爪部を、前記分割した下爪部の上方に対して屈曲自在にする方が好ましい。このように下爪部又は先端爪部を屈曲自在とした場合、ロボットハンドを下降させると、持ち上げたい移載物の両隣に置かれた別の移載物や一段下に積層された別の移載物に下爪部又は先端爪部や抱え込みロッドが当たり、前記下爪部又は先端爪部が抱え込みロッドを互いに接近させる向きに屈曲して、破砕爪を閉位置に向けて揺動させた際、抱え込みロッドを持ち上げたい移載物の下面側に潜り込ませやすくなる。このとき、下爪部の上方に対して先端爪部を屈曲自在にすると、下爪部がもともと上爪部に対して抱え込みロッドを互いに接近させる向きに曲がっているので、先端爪部を前記抱え込みロッドを互いに接近させる向きに屈曲させやすい。   In addition, the holding claw is preferably configured such that a portion where the holding rod is installed can be bent in a direction in which the holding rod approaches the swinging shaft. Here, the “part where the holding rod is installed” may be the lower claw portion described above, and the lower claw portion may be freely bent with respect to the upper claw portion. However, it is preferable to make the tip claw part, which is the lower part of the lower claw part, bendable with respect to the upper part of the divided lower claw part. In this way, when the lower claw part or the tip claw part is bendable, when the robot hand is lowered, another transfer object placed on both sides of the transfer object to be lifted or another transfer layered one step below. When the lower claw part or the front claw part or the holding rod hits the loaded object, the lower claw part or the front claw part bends in the direction in which the holding rod approaches each other, and the crushing claw is swung toward the closed position This makes it easier to sink the holding rod into the lower surface side of the transfer object to be lifted. At this time, if the tip claw portion is bent to the upper side of the lower claw portion, the lower claw portion originally bends toward the upper claw portion so that the holding rods approach each other. It is easy to bend the rods in a direction to approach each other.

屈曲自在とした下爪部又は先端爪部は、持ち上げたい移載物以外の移載物に当接して屈曲状態を維持するので、下支えローラを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませてからロボットハンドを上昇させると、重力に従って屈曲前の姿勢(例えば下爪部と同一直線状に揃う姿勢)に向けて復帰させることができる。しかし、より確実に前記姿勢に復帰させるため、屈曲自在とした下爪部又は先端爪部は、復帰方向(抱え込みロッドを互いに遠ざける向き)に付勢しておくとよい。下爪部又は先端爪部の付勢は、弾性体、例えば下爪部との間に介装したコイルスプリングや、屈曲軸に遊嵌した捻りコイルスプリングを利用できる。   The lower claw part or the tip claw part that can be bent abuts the transfer object other than the transfer object to be lifted to maintain the bent state. Is raised, it can be returned to the posture before bending (for example, the posture aligned with the lower claw portion) according to gravity. However, in order to more reliably return to the posture, it is preferable that the lower pawl portion or the tip pawl portion that is freely bent be urged in the return direction (the direction in which the holding rod is moved away from each other). For biasing the lower claw portion or the tip claw portion, an elastic body, for example, a coil spring interposed between the lower claw portion and a torsion coil spring loosely fitted on a bending shaft can be used.

移載物の下面側に抱え込みロッドを潜り込ませる観点から、抱え込み爪は、抱え込みロッドより下方で、各抱え込み枠の抱え込みロッドが接近する向き又は離反する向きの一方又は双方に前記抱え込みロッドより張り出した緩衝ローラを架け渡すとよい。緩衝ローラは、移載物の下面側に当接する抱え込みロッドの上面側を除いて、前記抱え込みロッドがと右折する前に、持ち上げる移載物以外の移載物(隣り合う移載物又は下層の移載物)の表面に接触して、抱え込みローラが持ち上げる移載物以外に接触して破損する虞を低減すると共に、緩衝ローラが持ち上げる移載物以外の移載物に沿って転動して、抱え込み爪が移載物の隙間を塗って下降し、抱え込みロッドを持ち上げる移載物の下面側に潜り込みやすくする。緩衝ローラは、抱え込みロッドと連結板で繋ぎ、前記抱え込みロッドに中間を支持させると、撓みを抑制又は防止しやすい。   From the viewpoint of letting the holding rod underneath the transferred object, the holding claw protrudes from the holding rod in one or both of the direction in which the holding rod of each holding frame approaches or separates from below the holding rod. It is good to bridge a buffer roller. The buffer roller, except for the upper surface side of the holding rod that abuts on the lower surface side of the transferred object, before the holding rod turns right, The surface of the transfer object) contacts with the surface of the transfer object, and the risk of damage other than the transfer object lifted by the holding roller is reduced, and it rolls along the transfer object other than the transfer object lifted by the buffer roller. The holding claw is lowered by applying a gap between the transferred objects, and it is easy to sink into the lower surface side of the transferred object that lifts the holding rod. When the buffer roller is connected to the holding rod by a connecting plate and the intermediate portion is supported by the holding rod, it is easy to suppress or prevent the bending.

同じく移載物の下面側に抱え込みロッドを潜り込ませる観点から、抱え込み爪は、抱え込みロッドに回動自在な当接ローラを設けるとよい。当接ローラは、抱え込みロッドに外嵌したり、抱え込みロッドの途中に軸着したりする。抱え込みロッドは、持ち上げた移載物がずり落ちないように回動しないことが望ましい。しかし、移載物の下面に潜り込ませる際、回動しない抱え込みロッドは摺接抵抗が大きくなり、移載物の下面に潜り込ませにくい。そこで、抱え込みロッドに1又は複数の当接ローラを設け、移載物の下面に抱え込みロッドが潜り込みやすくする。移載物の下面に潜り込んだ抱え込みロッドは、前記下面が撓むことにより直接接触し、前記下面との摩擦抵抗により移載物が抱え込みロッドからずり落ちることを防止する。   Similarly, from the viewpoint of causing the holding rod to enter the lower surface side of the transferred object, the holding claw may be provided with a contact roller that is rotatable on the holding rod. The contact roller is fitted on the holding rod or is attached to the middle of the holding rod. It is desirable that the holding rod does not rotate so that the transferred transfer object does not slide down. However, when the submerged rod does not rotate, the sliding contact resistance increases when it is submerged in the lower surface of the transfer object, and it is difficult to submerge in the lower surface of the transfer object. Therefore, one or a plurality of contact rollers are provided on the holding rod to make it easier for the holding rod to sink into the lower surface of the transfer object. The holding rod that has entered the lower surface of the transferred object comes into direct contact when the lower surface is bent, and prevents the transferred object from sliding down from the holding rod due to frictional resistance with the lower surface.

本発明のロボットハンドは、平面視長方形である移載物が袋体であっても、移載物の下面側に潜り込ませた抱え込みロッドにより前記移載物を持ち上げるため、移載物である袋体を破らずに、確実に持ち上げることができる。抱え込みロッドが互いに接近する向きに曲げったり、屈曲自在とした抱え込み爪や、抱え込みロッド近傍に配置する緩衝ローラや前記抱え込みロッドに外嵌する当接ローラは、いずれも移載物である紙袋を破ることなく、抱え込みロッドを移載物の下面側に潜り込ませやすくする。こうして、本発明により、従来のロボットハンドでは難しかった袋体を移載物とするデパレタイズロボットが提供できるようになる。   In the robot hand according to the present invention, even if the transfer object having a rectangular shape in plan view is a bag body, the transfer object is lifted by the holding rod that has been submerged in the lower surface side of the transfer object. You can lift it without breaking your body. The holding claws that are bent or bent in the direction in which the holding rods approach each other, the buffering rollers arranged near the holding rods, and the contact rollers that are fitted around the holding rods, all have a paper bag as a transfer object. It makes it easy to sneak the holding rod into the lower surface of the transfer object without breaking. Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a depalletizing robot that uses a bag as a transfer object, which was difficult with a conventional robot hand.

In the robot hand 2 of this example, for convenience of explanation, the direction in which the holding claws 22 constituting the holding frame 21 are arranged on the basis of a posture in which the connecting portion 25 and the main body portion 24 are horizontal and the holding frames 21 are suspended in the vertical direction. (The left and right direction in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) is the left and right direction, and the direction in which the holding claws 22 of the respective holding frames 21 and 21 face each other (the vertical direction in FIG. 3 and the orthogonal direction in FIG. 4) is the front and back direction. And

接続部25は、ロボットアーム11の先端に接続される接続板251と、本体部24に接続される介装板252とを鉛直方向に離して平行に並べ、接続板251の下面と介装板252の上面との間にコイルスプリングからなる接続部弾支用スプリング254を介装して構成される。これにより、接続板251に対して本体部24及抱え込み枠21が一体となって鉛直方向に弾支され、移載物3に押されて抱え込み枠21が押し上げられる力を、接続板251に対して本体部24及抱え込み枠21が上方に変位して、前記接続部弾支用スプリング254が吸収できるようにしている。   The connection unit 25 is configured such that the connection plate 251 connected to the tip of the robot arm 11 and the interposition plate 252 connected to the main body unit 24 are arranged in parallel in a vertical direction, and the lower surface of the connection plate 251 and the interposition plate A connecting portion elastic support spring 254 made of a coil spring is interposed between the upper surface of 252. As a result, the main body 24 and the holding frame 21 are integrally supported by the connection plate 251 in the vertical direction, and the force that is pushed by the transfer object 3 to push up the holding frame 21 is applied to the connection plate 251. Thus, the main body 24 and the holding frame 21 are displaced upward so that the connection portion elastic support spring 254 can absorb.

接続板251は、後述する爪揺動手段であるエアシリンダ26を避けて本体部24より水平方向に取付ブラケット271をはみ出し、移載物3の位置を計測する3次元センサ27を設けている。3次元センサは、空間コード法、光切断法やステレオ法等により移載物3の位置を算出するために必要な画像を撮像するカメラやラインレーザー光を照射及び検知するレーザーセンサである。本例の3次元センサ27は、ロボットハンド2を使用する姿勢(図2の姿勢)で右方向を向いており、移載物3の位置を計測する際、ロボットハンド2を90度引き起こして下向きにする。   The connection plate 251 is provided with a three-dimensional sensor 27 that measures the position of the transfer object 3 by protruding the mounting bracket 271 in the horizontal direction from the main body 24 avoiding an air cylinder 26 that is a claw swinging means described later. The three-dimensional sensor is a camera that captures an image necessary for calculating the position of the transfer object 3 by a spatial code method, a light cutting method, a stereo method, or the like, or a laser sensor that emits and detects line laser light. The three-dimensional sensor 27 of this example faces the right direction in the posture using the robot hand 2 (the posture in FIG. 2), and when the position of the transfer object 3 is measured, the robot hand 2 is turned 90 degrees downward. To.

本体部24は、抱え込み枠21を囲む大きさの平面視長方形を点対称に半割した左右一対の本体板241,241から構成される。各本体板241は、各抱え込み枠21に近い位置に短い棒体からなる前後レール242を、抱え込み枠21から遠い位置に長い棒体からなる前後レール242をそれぞれ上面に設けている。接続部25は、介装板252の下面に設けた接続スライダ253を前記各前後レール242に外嵌させて摺動自在とし、本体部24と接続している。本例の接続スライダ253は、短い前後レール242に1基、長い前後レール242に2基、合計3基である。   The main body 24 is composed of a pair of left and right main body plates 241 and 241 obtained by halving a rectangular shape in plan view having a size surrounding the holding frame 21 in a point-symmetric manner. Each main body plate 241 is provided with a front and rear rail 242 made of a short bar at a position close to each holding frame 21 and a front and rear rail 242 made of a long bar at a position far from the holding frame 21 on the upper surface. The connecting portion 25 is connected to the main body portion 24 by allowing a connecting slider 253 provided on the lower surface of the interposed plate 252 to be fitted on the front and rear rails 242 to be slidable. In this example, there are three connection sliders 253, one for the short front and rear rails 242 and two for the long front and rear rails 242.

本例の本体部24は、長い棒体からなる前後レール242に外嵌した2基の接続スライダ253,253の間に、各接続スライダ253に対向するスプリング受けブロック245を各本体板241に設け、それぞれ接続スライダ253とスプリング受けブロック245との間に、コイルスプリングからなる本体部弾支用スプリング244を介装している。これにより、接続板251に対して各本体板241が水平方向に弾支され、移載物3に押されて抱え込み枠21が前後方向に押される力を、接続板251に対して本体板241が前後方向に変位して、前記本体部弾支用スプリング244が吸収できるようにしている。   The main body 24 in this example is provided with a spring receiving block 245 facing each connection slider 253 on each main body plate 241 between two connection sliders 253, 253 externally fitted to a front and rear rail 242 made of a long bar. Between the connection slider 253 and the spring receiving block 245, a main body elastic spring 244 comprising a coil spring is interposed. Thereby, each main body plate 241 is elastically supported in the horizontal direction with respect to the connection plate 251, and the force that is pushed by the transfer object 3 and the holding frame 21 is pushed in the front-rear direction is applied to the connection plate 251 with respect to the main body plate 241. Is displaced in the front-rear direction so that the main body elastic spring 244 can absorb.

抱え込み枠21は、移載物3の厚みより長い抱え込み爪22を、移載物3の長辺の長さWLより長い間隔FLだけ離して前後一対配し、各抱え込み爪22,22の下端部に抱え込みロッド23を架け渡して構成される。これにより、抱え込み枠21が開閉する際に揺動する抱え込み爪22が、移載物3に干渉しなくなる。左右一対の抱え込み枠21,21は、互いの抱え込みロッド23,23を平行にし、鉛直線に対して左右対称に対向させ、各本体板241の上面に設けた前後一対の支持ブロック243に揺動軸226を架設し、前記揺動軸226の左右両端に抱え込み爪22の上爪部221の上端を接続している。各抱え込み枠21は、各本体板241に対して揺動自在に支持された爪揺動手段であるエアシリンダ26のロッド261を、一方の抱え込み爪22の上爪部221から上方に延長した揺動レバー262に軸着し、前記ロッド261の伸縮に応じて抱え込み爪22を揺動させる。   The holding frame 21 is provided with a pair of front and rear claws 22 that are longer than the thickness of the transfer object 3 by a distance FL longer than the length WL of the long side of the transfer object 3, and the lower ends of the holding claws 22 and 22. It is constructed by holding the rod 23 in the bridge. Thereby, the holding claw 22 that swings when the holding frame 21 opens and closes does not interfere with the transferred object 3. A pair of left and right holding frames 21 and 21 swings to a pair of front and rear support blocks 243 provided on the upper surface of each main body plate 241 with the holding rods 23 and 23 parallel to each other and opposed to each other symmetrically with respect to the vertical line. A shaft 226 is installed, and the upper end of the upper claw portion 221 of the holding claw 22 is connected to the left and right ends of the swing shaft 226. Each holding frame 21 is a rocking member in which a rod 261 of an air cylinder 26 which is a claw swinging means supported to be swingable with respect to each main body plate 241 is extended upward from an upper claw portion 221 of one holding claw 22. Attaching to the moving lever 262, the holding claw 22 is swung according to the expansion and contraction of the rod 261.

抱え込み爪22は、揺動軸226に上端を接続する上爪部221と、前記上爪部221に対して、対向する抱え込み枠21それぞれの抱え込みロッド23が互いに接近する向きに曲がった下爪部222と、前記下爪部222に軸着され、対向する抱え込み枠21それぞれの抱え込みロッド23が互いに接近する向きに屈曲自在とした先端爪部223とから構成される。本例の抱え込み爪22は、下爪部222を上下に分割してコイルスプリングである爪弾支用スプリング225を介装することにより、移載物3に押されて抱え込み爪22個々が上方に押される力を、上爪部221に対して先端爪部223が上方に変位して、前記爪弾支用スプリング225が吸収できるようにしている。   The holding claw 22 includes an upper claw portion 221 that connects an upper end to the swing shaft 226, and a lower claw portion that is bent in a direction in which the holding rods 23 of the holding frames 21 facing each other approach the upper claw portion 221. 222 and a tip claw portion 223 that is pivotally attached to the lower claw portion 222 and can be bent in a direction in which the holding rods 23 of the holding frames 21 facing each other approach each other. The holding claw 22 of the present example is divided by the lower claw portion 222 into upper and lower parts and a nail bullet supporting spring 225 that is a coil spring is interposed, so that the holding claw 22 is pushed upward by the transfer object 3. The tip claw 223 is displaced upward with respect to the upper claw 221 so that the pushing force can be absorbed by the claw bullet support spring 225.

先端爪部223は、下爪部222と間にコイルスプリングである爪復帰用スプリング224を介装し、常時復帰方向(抱え込みロッド23を互いに遠ざける向き)に付勢している。本例の先端爪部223は、中央に当接ローラ233を回動自在に外嵌した断面円形の棒体である抱え込みロッド23を回動不能に架設し、前記抱え込みロッド23より下方で、各抱え込み枠21の抱え込みロッド23が接近する向き及び離反する向きに前記抱え込みロッドより張り出した左右一対の緩衝ローラ231,231を回動自在に架け渡している(図4中拡大部分参照)。各緩衝ローラ231は、前記当接ローラ233を挟んで抱え込みロッド23に支持された連結板232,232に貫通しており、前記連結板232を介して抱え込みロッド23及び緩衝ローラ231相互の位置関係が拘束されている。   The tip claw portion 223 is provided with a claw return spring 224 that is a coil spring between the lower claw portion 222 and is always urged in the return direction (direction in which the holding rod 23 is moved away from each other). The tip claw portion 223 of this example is constructed such that a holding rod 23, which is a rod having a circular cross section with a contact roller 233 rotatably fitted at the center, is installed so as not to rotate, and below the holding rod 23, A pair of left and right buffer rollers 231 and 231 projecting from the holding rod in a direction in which the holding rod 23 of the holding frame 21 approaches and separates from the holding rod 21 is rotatably spanned (see an enlarged portion in FIG. 4). Each buffer roller 231 passes through the connecting plates 232, 232 supported by the holding rod 23 with the contact roller 233 interposed therebetween, and the positional relationship between the holding rod 23 and the buffer roller 231 is constrained via the connecting plate 232. Has been.

本例のデパレタイズロボット1による移載物3の持ち上げを、図4〜図5(図4以下、接続部25や奥側に位置するエアシリンダ26の図示略)により説明する。3次元センサ27による移載物3の位置の計測を終えたデパレタイズロボット1は、ロボットアーム11を動かし、ロボットハンド2を持ち上げる移載物3上方に移動させる。このとき、ロボットハンド2は、図4に見られるように、抱え込み爪22を移載物の短辺の間隔より離れた開位置まで開き、各抱え込みロッド23が持ち上げる移載物3の平面視形状に合わせて移載物の長辺と平行になり、各抱え込み枠21が隣り合う移載物3,3の隙間上方に位置するように、姿勢(水平面内での向き)を調整している。これにより、前記姿勢を維持したままロボットハンド2を下降させると、各抱え込み枠21(正確には抱え込みロッド23)が前記隙間に進入していく。   Lifting of the transfer object 3 by the depalletizing robot 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5 (FIG. 4 and subsequent figures, illustration of the connecting portion 25 and the air cylinder 26 located on the far side). The depalletizing robot 1 that has finished measuring the position of the transfer object 3 by the three-dimensional sensor 27 moves the robot arm 11 and moves the robot hand 2 upward to the transfer object 3. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the robot hand 2 opens the holding claw 22 to an open position separated from the short side interval of the transfer object, and the plan view shape of the transfer object 3 lifted by each holding rod 23. Accordingly, the posture (orientation in the horizontal plane) is adjusted so that each holding frame 21 is positioned above the gap between the adjacent transfer objects 3 and 3 in parallel with the long side of the transfer object. Thus, when the robot hand 2 is lowered while maintaining the posture, each holding frame 21 (more precisely, the holding rod 23) enters the gap.

しかし、実際の移載物3は必ずしも整然と積層されていないので、ロボットハンド2を下降させると、図5に見られるように、抱え込みロッド23に外嵌した当接ローラ233や緩衝ローラ231が移載物3の表面を押しのけるようにして、各抱え込み枠21を下降させていく。このとき、接続部25に対して本体部24及び抱え込み枠21が一体に上方へ変位したり、各抱え込み枠21を構成する抱え込み爪22の上爪部221に対して下爪部222及び先端爪部223が一体に上方へ変位したり、更に下爪部222に対して先端爪部223が屈曲したりして、移載物3に当接して受ける力を各部が吸収し、抱え込み枠21が隙間を縫って下降していく。   However, since the actual transfer object 3 is not necessarily stacked in an orderly manner, when the robot hand 2 is lowered, the contact roller 233 and the buffer roller 231 fitted around the holding rod 23 are transferred as shown in FIG. Each holding frame 21 is lowered so as to push the surface of the load 3. At this time, the main body portion 24 and the holding frame 21 are integrally displaced upward with respect to the connection portion 25, or the lower claw portion 222 and the tip claw with respect to the upper claw portion 221 of the holding claw 22 constituting each holding frame 21 The part 223 is integrally displaced upward, and the tip claw part 223 is bent with respect to the lower claw part 222, so that each part absorbs the force received in contact with the transfer object 3, and the holding frame 21 is Sew down the gap and go down.

緩衝ローラ231が持ち上げる移載物3より下層にある別の移載物3の上面に触れた後、更にロボットハンド2を下降させると、図6に見られるように、爪復帰用スプリング224に抗して先端爪部223が大きく屈曲し、抱え込みロッド23を移載物3の側面から下面側へと潜り込ませる。このとき、各抱え込み枠21は、抱え込み爪22を移載物の短辺の間隔より離れた開位置まで開いているので、前記抱え込みロッド23の移載物3の下面側への潜り込みは、限定的なものである。このため、仮にこの状態でロボットハンド2を上昇させると、移載物3が変形する紙袋等であれば、うまく持ち上げることができない。   When the robot hand 2 is further lowered after touching the upper surface of another transfer object 3 below the transfer object 3 lifted by the buffer roller 231, as shown in FIG. As a result, the tip claw portion 223 is greatly bent, and the holding rod 23 is caused to sink from the side surface of the transfer object 3 to the lower surface side. At this time, each holding frame 21 opens the holding claw 22 to an open position separated from the short side interval of the transfer object, so that the holding rod 23 is not limited to the lower surface side of the transfer object 3. It is a typical one. For this reason, if the robot hand 2 is raised in this state, it cannot be lifted well if it is a paper bag or the like in which the transfer object 3 is deformed.

ここから、図7に見られるように、エアシリンダ26のロッド261を伸ばして各抱え込み枠21の抱え込み爪22を、各抱え込みロッド23が移載物3の短辺の間隔より近づいた閉位置まで揺動させる(図7中黒塗り矢印参照)と、下爪部222に対して屈曲した先端爪部223は復帰しながら(下爪部222に対して真っすぐになりながら)、抱え込みロッド23を移載物3の下面側に大きく潜り込ませる。このように、抱え込みロッド23が移載物3の下面側に潜り込むことから、抱え込み爪22(本例の場合、本体板241の下面側から突出する部分)が移載物3の厚みより長いことが理解される。実際に先端爪部223が復帰するか否かは、ロボットハンド2の下降位置や移載物3の変形具合にもよる。しかし、抱え込みロッド23は、先端爪部223が下爪部222に対して屈曲する範囲でしか自由度ないため、抱え込み爪22の揺動に応じて移載物3の下面側へ確実に潜り込む。   From here, as shown in FIG. 7, the rod 261 of the air cylinder 26 is extended to the holding claw 22 of each holding frame 21 to the closed position where each holding rod 23 is closer than the short side interval of the transfer object 3. When it is swung (see the black arrow in FIG. 7), the tip claw 223 bent with respect to the lower claw 222 is returned (being straight with respect to the lower claw 222), and the holding rod 23 is moved. Submerge the bottom of the loaded article 3 greatly. As described above, since the holding rod 23 sinks into the lower surface side of the transferred object 3, the holding claw 22 (in this example, the portion protruding from the lower surface side of the main body plate 241) is longer than the thickness of the transferred object 3. Is understood. Whether or not the tip claw portion 223 actually returns depends on the lowered position of the robot hand 2 and the degree of deformation of the transfer object 3. However, since the holding rod 23 has a degree of freedom only in a range where the tip claw portion 223 is bent with respect to the lower claw portion 222, the holding rod 23 surely sinks into the lower surface side of the transfer object 3 according to the swinging of the holding claw 22.

このとき、抱え込みロッド23は、抱え込み爪22の揺動軸226に接近する方向、すなわち上方に変位するが、抱え込み爪22の揺動だけで移載物3を持ち上げることはできず、接続部25の接続板251に対して介装板252、本体部24及び抱え込み枠21が一体となって下方に変位する(図7中破線白抜き矢印参照)。このように、爪復帰用スプリング224、爪弾支用スプリング225、本体部弾支用スプリング244及び接続部弾支用スプリング254は、それぞれ移載物3から受ける力を逃がす緩衝部材であるとともに、抱え込みロッド23を移載物3の下面側に潜り込ませる際に必要な抱え込み枠21又は抱え込み爪22の微小位置調整部材にもなっている。   At this time, the holding rod 23 is displaced in a direction approaching the swinging shaft 226 of the holding claw 22, that is, upward, but the transfer object 3 cannot be lifted only by the swinging of the holding claw 22, and the connecting portion 25. The connecting plate 252, the main body 24, and the holding frame 21 are integrally displaced with respect to the connection plate 251 (refer to the dashed white arrow in FIG. 7). As described above, the claw return spring 224, the claw bullet support spring 225, the main body bullet support spring 244, and the connection portion bullet support spring 254 are buffer members that release the force received from the transfer object 3, respectively. It is also a minute position adjusting member for the holding frame 21 or the holding claw 22 required when the holding rod 23 is submerged in the lower surface side of the transferred object 3.

こうして抱え込みロッド23が移載物3の下面側に潜り込んだ状態でロボットハンド2を上昇させると、図8に見られるように、左右一対の抱え込みロッド23,23に跨がった移載物3を持ち上げることができる。移載物3は、断面円形の抱え込みロッド23,23の上に跨がっているだけなので、たとえ紙袋であっても破れる虞はない。また、本例の抱え込みロッド23は回動不能なので、ロボットハンド2を水平移動させた際に移載物3が抱え込みロッド23,23からずれ落ちる心配もない。実際には、可撓性のある紙袋は、抱え込みロッド23を噛み込ませるように下面を変形させているので、およそ移載物3が抱え込みロッド23,23からずれ落ちる虞はない。   When the robot hand 2 is lifted in a state where the holding rod 23 has entered the lower surface side of the transfer object 3, the transfer object 3 straddling the pair of left and right holding rods 23, 23 as shown in FIG. Can be lifted. Since the transfer object 3 is only straddled on the holding rods 23 and 23 having a circular cross section, there is no possibility of tearing even if it is a paper bag. In addition, since the holding rod 23 of this example cannot be rotated, there is no fear that the transfer object 3 will fall off the holding rods 23 and 23 when the robot hand 2 is moved horizontally. Actually, since the flexible paper bag has its lower surface deformed so that the holding rod 23 is bitten, there is no possibility that the transfer object 3 is slipped off from the holding rods 23, 23.

ロボットハンド2から移載物3を降ろす手順は、図示を省略するが、上述までの逆となる。このとき、抱え込みロッド23は回動不能で、移載物3の下面に噛み込ませているが、左右一対の抱え込み枠21の対向する抱え込み爪22が同期して開くことにより、各抱え込みロッド23は相対的に先行して離れる側に移載物3の荷重が加わるため、最終的には同時に移載物3の下面から外れるので、移載物3が傾いて搬出位置に移される虞はない。このように、本発明のロボットハンド2を用いたデパレタイズロボット1は、破れやすい紙袋等から構成される移載物3を破損させることなく、安定して移載できるようにする。   The procedure for unloading the transfer object 3 from the robot hand 2 is not shown, but is the reverse of the above. At this time, the holding rods 23 are not rotatable and are bitten by the lower surface of the transfer object 3, but the holding claws 22 of the pair of left and right holding frames 21 are opened synchronously, so that each holding rod 23 Since the load of the transfer object 3 is applied to the side away relatively earlier, the transfer object 3 is finally released from the lower surface of the transfer object 3 at the same time, so there is no possibility that the transfer object 3 is inclined and moved to the unloading position. . As described above, the depalletizing robot 1 using the robot hand 2 of the present invention enables the transfer to be stably performed without damaging the transfer object 3 composed of a paper bag or the like that is easily torn.
