In particular, the present invention relates to a robot programming device used as a means for inputting and editing an operation program of an industrial robot, or a means for obtaining an operation state and information of a robot.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a desktop type used on a desk is used as a programming device for performing operation programming and status display of an industrial robot. As a display screen of this desktop type programming device, a character display or a plasma display constituted by a cathode ray tube is used. For this reason, the size of the apparatus has been increased, and programming and robot status display have been performed with the programming apparatus permanently installed on a dedicated installation table.

For example, FIG. 4 shows a configuration diagram of a conventional robot system. In FIG. 4, (10) is a robot control panel, (11) is a robot, (12) is a robot teaching device, (14) is a programming device, (15) is a display screen,
(16) is a keyboard, (17) is a programming device (1
4) It is an installation table for placing.

Next, the operation will be described. The programming of the robot is performed on the installation table (17) using the display screen (15) and the keyboard (16) of the programming device (14) in FIG. The operation of the robot (11) is controlled via the robot control panel (10) according to the programming.

Further, during the operation of the robot (11), the operation state and information of the robot are sequentially displayed on the display screen (15) of the programming device (14). Therefore, by monitoring the display contents, the operation state of the robot (11) can be recognized.

The operation of the robot (11) can be controlled using the teaching device (12).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Conventional robot programming uses a desktop type which is installed on a table and used as described above. For this reason, when programming using a conventional programming device or displaying the state of a robot, there is a problem that a space for an installation table on which the programming device is placed is required.

In addition, since the conventional programming device is a desktop type, it has a large outer shape and is heavy, so it is difficult to appropriately move the device to a place corresponding to the use condition and use it, and there is a problem that the usability is poor. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a robot programming device that can safely and easily move the programming device and can be used in an arbitrary installation location. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for solving the problem]

A robot programming device according to the present invention is provided with a base constituting a laptop-type device main body, rotatably provided near an intermediate portion on the base, stopping at an arbitrary angle when stationary, and a keyboard on the base during transportation. A display screen that covers and protects the surface, is inverted when suspended and is expanded and displayed on an extended surface of the keyboard surface, and is rotatably provided near the middle of the base side surface, and is rotatably mounted at the time of stationary and suspended. And a handle that is sometimes rotated to move in the front-back direction of the base.

[Action]

In the robot programming device according to the present invention, a laptop-type device body which is easily portable is used, and the position of a handle or a display screen is appropriately changed according to the situation during transportation or hanging. The user can safely and easily move the programming device with the handle. The programming device can be placed on a desk or hung on a wall or a fence depending on the use condition, so that the programming device can be used regardless of the installation location.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a robot programming device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a programming device showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. 1 and 2, (1) and (1a) are display screens, (2) is a hinge for rotatably holding the display screen (1), (3) is a keyboard for inputting data, and (4) ) And (4a) are handles, (5) is a support shaft for rotatably holding the handle (4), and (6) is a base constituting the apparatus main body.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a small portable laptop-type programming device is used here. A keyboard (3) is provided in the front half of the upper surface of the base (6) constituting the apparatus body, and a hinge (2) provided near the center.
Hold the display screen (1) rotatably. As shown in FIG. 2, the display screen (1) can be moved by rotating the surface of the base (6) by about 180 °, and can be paused at an arbitrary angle in the middle.

On both sides near the center of the base (6),
A handle (4) formed in a U-shape is rotatably supported by a support shaft (5). The handle (4) of this embodiment can rotate about 180 ° between the time of transportation and the time of suspension of the programming device, and can move the position before and after the programming device. FIG. 2 shows the turning state of the handle (4).

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the handle (4) and the display screen (1) when the programming device is transported and suspended.
Will be described. First, when storing and carrying the programming device of this embodiment, the handle (4) is turned to the left and the display screen (1) is turned to the left as shown by the solid line in FIG. , The keyboard (3) is covered with the case of the display screen (1). Thereby, the programming device can be easily transported with the handle (4). Furthermore, the case of the display screen (1) covers and protects the display screen (1) itself as well as the keyboard (3), so that the programming device can be carried safely.

When the programming device is suspended, the handle (4a) and the display screen (1a) are turned to the right as shown by the broken line in FIG. In this rotation position, the display screen (1) is developed on the extension surface of the keyboard (3), and if the display screen (1) is suspended using the handle (4a), it can be used as a display device. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the programming device (7) in this state is used to hang it on a hook (8) fixed to a wall (8) to display the state of the robot (11). FIG. As can be seen by comparing FIG. 3 with FIG. 4 of the conventional example, the space for the mounting table (17) on which the conventional programming device (14) is mounted becomes unnecessary, and a small space for hanging on the wall is eliminated. If there is, it can be installed. For this reason, it is possible to save space and move and install the device in a location advantageous for work.

Further, in programming, since both the keyboard (3) and the display screen (1) are used, as shown in FIG. 1, the display screen (1) is raised in the vertical direction and the robot is programmed on a desk. You can also do so.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the robot programming device according to the present invention uses a laptop-type device main body,
Because the handle and the display screen are held rotatably,
Suspension and transportation using the handle can be performed easily and safely. For this reason, there is no need to prepare an installation stand or installation space dedicated to the programming device, and it is possible to carry the programming device to the installation location of the robot and obtain robot operation programming and robot operation information on the spot. When placed on a desk, the display screen can be stopped at an arbitrary angle, the display screen becomes easy to see, and the workability can be improved.
