(14) 14th stage: Cartoning device 14 In the 14th stage, the assembled compact container
40 is sent to the cartoning device 14 and packed in a case.

<Each Step and Error Display> As described above, the compact container 40 is assembled and packaged. If an assembly error occurs during the assembly, as described above, the shaft of the error indicator 80 is simultaneously generated as described above. One end of 81 is pushed by the actuator 82 and the other end protrudes, and a mechanical error is displayed. Each stage is provided with an error display detection sensor 83 for detecting that the other end of the shaft 81 is protruding, and it is inspected whether an error is displayed on the pallet (P) being conveyed.

By the way, as described above, various errors are individually detected by sensors at each stage, but once an error is displayed at a certain stage, it is treated as an abnormal pallet,
Since an error is displayed by the error display 80, there is no longer any need to individually detect errors in the next stage, and it is no longer necessary to perform an assembling operation in that stage.

In that sense, it can be said that the individual error detection at each stage has a meaning as a prevention when the error indicator 80 does not operate properly or when the error display detection sensor 83 cannot detect the error display.

Since the error display 80 according to this embodiment mechanically displays an error, the operator can visually confirm the abnormal pallet, and the operator can arbitrarily correct the error during the process or remove the pallet (P) itself. You can also do. In addition, as the error indicator 80, a lamp or a light-emitting diode may emit light. A light receiving element can be used as the error display detection sensor.

Note that, when the pallet (P) has made one round, a reset actuator is provided immediately before the first stage to press the other end of the shaft 81 of the error display 80 to cancel the error display.

With the above-described configuration, it is easy to switch the product to be assembled or packaged, and even when the product is switched, the specifications of the automatic device of each station can be easily switched.

Because functions such as assembly were subdivided into each station,
Even if the process is changed, it can be dealt with only by selecting each station and partially changing the specification, and there is no need to newly create a line (L).

It can be divided into a part that is good for humans and a part that is suitable for operation by machine, so that efficient process realization can be achieved.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the cosmetic compact assembly pallet of the present invention,
Since the structure is very suitable for moving the container loading line while assembling the parts to be assembled on the container loading line and assembling the same, it is possible to assemble the cosmetic compact very efficiently. As a result, the productivity of the cosmetic compact can be improved.
