Description

最も単純で一般的に用いられているワーク押出装置は、図１６に示すように、先端にワーク当接部材８８を設けたロッド８７を有する駆動装置８６を空気圧などの作用により駆動してワーク８５を押し出すものである。ワーク８５をマガジン８４から確実に押し出すため、通常、ロッド８７のストロークはマガジン８４の幅（奥行き）と同程度である。このような従来の押出装置をマガジンと直列配置した場合、マガジン幅の２倍のスペースを占有してしまうという問題がある。そこで、押出装置が占める空間を減らすべく、これまで種々の提案がなされてきた。 As shown in FIG. 16 , the simplest and generally used workpiece pushing device is a workpiece 85 in which a driving device 86 having a rod 87 provided with a workpiece contact member 88 at its tip is driven by the action of air pressure or the like. Is to extrude. In order to reliably push out the work 85 from the magazine 84, the stroke of the rod 87 is usually the same as the width (depth) of the magazine 84. When such a conventional extrusion apparatus is arranged in series with a magazine, there is a problem that a space twice as large as the magazine width is occupied. Therefore, various proposals have been made so far to reduce the space occupied by the extrusion apparatus.

第１の発明は、押出部材と、押出部材を第一の方向に押し出す駆動部とを備え、押出部材が、第一の方向と異なる第二の方向にワークを押し出すワーク押出装置であって、押出部材が、複数の連結片と、複数の連結片を屈曲可能に連結する伸縮性のある糸状部材とを備え、押出部材を第二の方向に方向転換させる方向転換部を備えることを特徴とするワーク押出装置である。
第２の発明は、第１の発明において、前記押出部材が、可撓性を有する薄板からなり、連結された複数の連結片の対向する二側面を囲む側面板を備えることを特徴とする。
第３の発明は、第１または２の発明において、前記連結片が、連結方向と同方向に貫通する挿通孔を備え、当該挿通孔に前記糸状部材が挿通されることを特徴とする。
第４の発明は、第１、２または３の発明において、前記連結片が、凸部および凹部を有する板状部材であり、各連結片の凸部が隣接する他の連結片の凹部と係合した状態で連結されることを特徴とする。ここで、板状部材の厚さは、例えば、数ｍｍ〜１０数ｍｍ、好ましくは３ｍｍ〜１０ｍｍとする。 1st invention is provided with the extrusion member and the drive part which extrudes an extrusion member in the 1st direction, and an extrusion member is a work extrusion device which extrudes a work in the 2nd direction different from the 1st direction, The extrusion member includes a plurality of connecting pieces and a stretchable thread-like member that connects the plurality of connecting pieces in a bendable manner, and includes a direction changing portion that changes the direction of the pushing member in a second direction. It is a workpiece extrusion device.
A second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the push-out member includes a side plate that is made of a flexible thin plate and surrounds two opposing side surfaces of a plurality of connected connecting pieces.
According to a third invention, in the first or second invention, the connection piece includes an insertion hole that penetrates in the same direction as the connection direction, and the thread-like member is inserted into the insertion hole.
According to a fourth invention, in the first, second or third invention, the connecting piece is a plate-like member having a convex portion and a concave portion, and the convex portion of each connecting piece is associated with a concave portion of another adjacent connecting piece. They are connected in a combined state. Here, the thickness of the plate member is, for example, several mm to several tens mm, preferably 3 mm to 10 mm.
