FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an outline of the configuration of the processing apparatus 20. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an outline of the configuration of the processing apparatus 20 in which the front door 22 is omitted. FIG. 3 is a right side view of the processing apparatus 20 and an enlarged view of a part of the lower rail 34. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the loading / unloading of the work.

As an example of the embodiment of the present invention, the processing apparatus 20 will be described in detail. The embodiments and drawings described below exemplify a part of the embodiments of the present invention, are not used for the purpose of limiting to these configurations, and do not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be changed as appropriate. The corresponding components in each figure are designated by the same or similar reference numerals. Further, by explaining an example of the operation of the processing device 20 and the work loading / unloading device 40, an example of how to use the processing device and the loading / unloading device of the present invention will be clarified.

First, the outline of the configuration of the processing apparatus 20 which is an example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an outline of the configuration of the processing apparatus 20, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an outline of the configuration of the processing apparatus 20 in which the front door 22 is omitted. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the processing apparatus 20 is a process of loading a work from a work loading / unloading device 40 provided on the front side into a workspace having a work processing table 24, processing the work, and carrying it out. Since it is an apparatus and the part related to the processing of the work is the same as that of a known processing technique (for example, a known 6-axis processing machine), the description of the configuration of this part will be omitted. The processing device 20 is provided with a front door 22 on the front side, and is partitioned by a partition plate 26 from a workspace provided with a work processing table 24 for processing a work. By doing so, when the work is processed in the workspace, it is possible to reduce the possibility that chips of the work, water, oil, etc. used during processing are scattered outside the workspace.

Further, at a position between the front door 22 and the partition plate 26, an upper rail 32 is provided on the upper side and a lower rail 34 is provided on the lower side in the openings 29a and the right side surface 28b provided on the left side surface 28a. A work loading / unloading device 40 is provided so as to penetrate the opening 29b and can move along the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34, respectively. The work loading / unloading device 40 carries the unprocessed work into the workspace from one side surface side (right side in FIG. 2) along the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34, and the processed work is carried into the workspace on the other side surface side (right side in FIG. 2). Carry out to the left side in Fig. 2. At this time, since the work loading / unloading device 40 movably sandwiches both the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34, the stability during movement is higher than that in the case where only one of them is sandwiched. High and precise position control can be performed. In other words, it can be carried in and out accurately regardless of the weight and shape of the work.

The front door 22 is a metal door that opens and closes in the side direction.

The work processing table 24 is a stacking portion for fixing the work when the work is machined with a cutting tool (not shown). The work processing table 24 is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction along a rail (not shown). The work processing table 24 moves to the front side when the work is carried in and out, and to the rear side when the work is processed, so that when the work loading / unloading device 40 carries in / out the work, The work can be easily carried in and out.

The partition plate 26 is a metallic plate-like member having an opening 26a in the central portion, and is made of a translucent resin plate (for example, an acrylic resin plate) on the upper side of the opening 26a. A translucent portion 26b is provided, and when the work loading / unloading device 40 carries in / out the work, an arm (not shown) provided in the work loading / unloading device 40 carries in / out the work through the opening 26a. Carry out. By doing so, while maintaining high visibility of the workspace from the front, it is possible to prevent chips, water, oil, etc. generated when processing the workpiece from scattering from the workspace, and to carry in and out the workpiece. Can be done.

The left side surface 28a has an opening 29a on the front surface side, and an extension portion 30a that inclines upward as the distance from the left side surface 28a increases is provided below the opening 29a. Further, the right side surface 28b has an opening 29b on the front side, and an extension portion 30b that inclines upward as the distance from the right side surface 28b increases is provided below the opening 29b. In the following description, the left side surface 28a and the right side surface 28b are referred to as the "side surface 28", the opening 29a and the opening 29b are referred to as the "opening 29", and the extension portion 30a and the extension portion 30b are referred to. Also referred to as "extension section 30".

At this time, the work loading / unloading device 40 passes through the opening 29 to carry in / out the workpiece. By doing so, when the work is carried in / out, the work carry-in / carry-out device 40 is located inside the processing device 20 or above the extension portion 30, so that the work is loaded into the work carry-in / carry-out device 40. Even if chips, water, oil, or the like generated during processing adhere to the surface, it is possible to prevent the deposits from contaminating the installation surface of the processing apparatus 20. Further, since the extending portion 30 is formed as an inclined surface that inclines upward as the distance from the side surface 28 increases, if chips or the like adhering to the work loading / unloading device 40 fall on the extending portion 30, Since it moves from the extending portion 30 to the inside of the processing device 20 by its own weight (solid matter such as chips is washed away by water or oil), it is easy to clean the chips, water, oil, etc. ..

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34 are a pair of rails provided at positions between the front door 22 and the partition plate 26 and opposed to each other, and are front surfaces of the work area. It is provided at a position that penetrates the opening 29 provided on the side and crosses the front side of the work area. By moving the work loading / unloading device 40 from one side surface side to the other side surface along the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34, the unprocessed work can be carried in and the processed work can be carried out.

Further, the upper corner of the side surface of the lower rail 34 on the front door 22 side is formed with an inclined surface 34a that is inclined from the upper surface toward the side surface on the front door 22 side. In this way, by setting the upper surface side of the lower rail 34 as an inclined surface, chips, water, oil, etc. generated when processing the work are scattered from the workspace as compared with the case where the lower rail 34 does not have an inclined surface. Even in this case, the possibility of adhering to the upper surface of the lower rail 34 can be reduced. In other words, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the work loading / unloading device 40 is hindered from moving or the moving position is displaced due to chips, water, oil, or the like. At this time, since the inclined surface 34a is inclined toward the front door 22 side, the possibility of adhering to the upper surface of the lower rail 34 is further reduced as compared with the case where the inclined surface 34a is inclined toward the partition plate 26 side. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the work loading / unloading device 40 is hindered from moving or the moving position is displaced due to chips, water, oil, or the like.

The work loading / unloading device 40 has a saddle 42 that moves along the lower rail 34 by driving a rotor (not shown) on the surface of the lower rail 34, and a saddle 42 that is connected to the saddle 42 and sandwiches the upper rail 32 to move the saddle 42. It includes a holding portion 44 that moves along the upper rail 32, and a main body portion 46 that is connected to the saddle 42 and the holding portion 44 and has an arm (not shown). In the work loading / unloading device 40, the saddle 42 moves along the lower rail 34 by driving a rotor (not shown) in accordance with control from a control unit (not shown). At this time, when the upper rail 32 is sandwiched by the sandwiching portion 44 to transport and move the work, or when the work is moved to the work processing table 24 by an arm (not shown), it is compared with the case where the sandwiching portion 44 is not provided. Therefore, it is possible to improve the stability when moving or carrying in. By doing so, the work can be stacked at a desired position on the work processing table 24 regardless of the shape and weight of the work.

Subsequently, a loading / unloading method for loading / unloading the work into the work area will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the loading and unloading of the work, but for convenience of explanation, the description of the front door 22 is omitted in the drawing. When the work is carried into the work area, the work loading / unloading device 40 moves from one side surface side of the machining device 20 (see FIG. 4A) while the arm (not shown) holds the unmachined workpiece. Move to the front position of 20 (see FIG. 4B). At this time, when the work processing table 24 moves in the direction of the front door 22 with the movement of the work loading / unloading device 40 and the work loading / unloading device 40 moves to the front position of the processing device 20, the work processing table 24 is located in a state of being moved from the workspace in the direction of the front door 22. In this state, the arm (not shown) rotates to stack the unprocessed work on the work processing table 24, and the machine (not shown) holds the processed work.

Subsequently, the work loading / unloading device 40 moves to the other side surface side (see FIG. 4C) of the processing device 20, and the work processing table 24 moves in the direction of the workspace (rear in FIG. 2). .. By doing so, the front side of the work area can be opened and the work can be carried out from the workspace. In addition, if chips, water, oil, etc. generated when the work is processed adhere to the work loading / unloading device 40, the inertial force and gravity when the workpiece loading / unloading device 40 stops may cause It can be dropped on the extension portion 30a. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility that chips, water, oil, etc. fall from the work loading / unloading device 40 onto the lower rail 34 and contaminate the surface of the lower rail 34. In addition, since the extension portion 30a is inclined in the direction of the processing device 20, chips, water, oil, etc. that have fallen into the extension portion 30a are returned to the inside of the processing device 20 through the opening 29a. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor required for cleaning chips, water, oil, and the like.

After that, the work loading / unloading device 40 moves to one side surface side of the processing device 20. At this time, since the extension portion 30b is also provided on one side surface side of the processing device 20, chips generated when the work is processed by the work loading / unloading device 40 as in the case of moving to the other side surface side. If water, oil, or the like adheres to the work, it can be dropped onto the extension portion 30b by the inertial force and gravity when the work loading / unloading device 40 is stopped. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility that chips, water, oil, etc. fall from the work loading / unloading device 40 onto the lower rail 34 and contaminate the surface of the lower rail 34. In addition, since the extension portion 30b is inclined in the direction of the processing device 20, chips, water, oil, etc. that have fallen into the extension portion 30b are returned to the inside of the processing device 20 through the opening 29b. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor required for cleaning chips, water, oil, and the like.

In the processing device 20 of the present embodiment described in detail above, since the work loading / unloading device 40 is on the front side of the processing device 20 and is provided between the front door 22 and the partition plate 26, the front door Even when the 22 is closed, the work can be carried into the workspace from the front side.

Further, since the work loading / unloading device 40 sandwiches both the upper rail 32 and the lower rail 34, the work is supported by either the upper rail 32 or the lower rail 34, as compared with the case where the work is supported by either the upper rail 32 or the lower rail 34. It is possible to prevent misalignment due to size and weight, and to accurately carry in and out the workpiece.

Further, since an inclined surface 34a inclined in the side surface direction is formed on the upper side of the side surface of the lower rail 34 on the front door 22 side, water used when processing chips or work from the work area is formed. Even when oil or the like is scattered, it is possible to reduce the possibility that chips or the like adhere to the upper surface side of the lower rail 34 and hinder the movement of the work loading / unloading device 40.

Furthermore, since the work loading / unloading device 40 moves inside the processing device 20 and above the extension portion 30, water, oil, etc. used for machining the workpiece and the work are loaded / unloaded. Even if it adheres to the device 40, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the deposit will fall on the installation surface of the processing device 20.

Further, since the extending portion 30 is an inclined surface that inclines diagonally upward from the lower portion of the opening 29 provided on the side surface 28, chips, water, oil, etc. of the work adhering to the work loading / unloading device 40 If it falls, it moves to the inside of the processing device 20 along the inclined surface, so that it is easy to clean.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various aspects as long as it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the saddle 42 has a drive roller (not shown), but in addition to the drive roller, a guard portion that moves along the surface of the lower rail 34 may be provided. By doing so, when the saddle 42 moves along the lower rail 34, the guard portion moves along the surface of the lower rail 34, so that chips, water, and oil generated when processing the work are generated. Even when such materials are scattered from the workspace and adhere to the upper surface of the lower rail 34, the possibility that the drive of the drive roller is hindered by chips, water, oil, or the like can be reduced. Here, as the guard portion, for example, a soft material such as a brush, cloth, or fiber, or a water-absorbent material may be used, or a material having a hardness lower than that of the lower rail 34 such as resin may be used. In any case, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the extending portion 30 is provided on both the left side surface 28a and the right side surface 28b, but is provided only on either the left side surface 28a or the right side surface 28b. May be. In this case as well, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the work loading / unloading device 40 is supposed to move to the upper position of the extension portion 30 and stop, but after moving to the upper position of the extension portion 30, it vibrates or moves back and forth. It may be finely moved to. By doing so, if chips, water, oil, etc. generated when processing the work are attached to the work loading / unloading device 40, they will fall from the work loading / unloading device 40 by the extending portion 30. Can be made easier.

As shown in the above-described embodiment, it can be used in the metal processing field, particularly as a processing apparatus for automatically carrying in and processing a workpiece.
