DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a work plate stocker 100 for assembling equipment and a work carriage 102 attached to the stocker 100 according to the present embodiment. (Stocker 100) As shown in FIG. 2, the stocker 100 is composed of a casing 108 in which pipe members 104 are connected by a three-way connector 106 in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a stock portion 110 accommodated in the casing 108. .

As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of erected pipe members 104 on the rear surface side of the casing 108 are connected to a reinforcing pipe member 104 at an intermediate portion in the height direction via a T-type connector 112. Has been done. In addition, two reinforcing pipe members 104, which are parallel to each other in the middle in the height direction, are provided on the pair of vertically installed pipe members 104 on the front surface side of the housing 108.
They are connected via a mold connector 112. In addition, from the reinforcing pipe material 104, the upright pipe material 10
The pipe member 10 connecting the upper single parts and the lower end parts of 4
4, a pair of pipe members 104 are bridged so as to narrow the opening width.

With the above structure, an opening 114 having a gap H in the height direction and a gap W in the width direction is formed inside the two mutually parallel reinforcing pipe members 104. From the opening 114, a work plate 11 described later is provided.
6 is pulled out to the outside of the housing, and a roller 118 is attached to the reinforcing pipe material 104 on the lower side to reduce friction when the work plate 116 is pulled out. The rollers 118 may be provided near the center as shown in the drawing, or may be evenly arranged over the entire area of the pipe material 104.

The casters 1 are provided at the four lower corners of the casing.
20 is attached to the structure so that it can be easily moved within the work area.

Inside the casing 108 having such a structure,
A stock section 110 as shown in FIG. 4 is housed.

The stock portion 110 is constructed by assembling the base 122 of the pipe material 104 into a ladder shape. That is, the base 122 is configured by a plurality of (in this embodiment, four) sub pipe members 104 parallel to each other being laid between a pair of main pipe members 104 parallel to each other.

The pair of main pipe members 104 and the pair of parallel pipe members 1 forming the bottom of the casing 108 are parallel to each other.
04 is connected via a connecting bracket 124, whereby the housing 108 and the stock portion 110 are integrated.

A rectangular dish-shaped support plate 128 is fixed on the base 122, and an elevator 130 is mounted on the support plate 128. Elevator 130
Is provided with a pantograph section 134 formed by combining a plurality of long side plates 132 at respective positions of opposite sides of the support plate 128 that face each other. That is, at the center of the pair of long side plates 132 in the longitudinal direction, two X-shaped subassemblies 136 cross-coupled so as to be rotatable relative to each other are stacked in two stages. The position can be changed.

The change of the intersection angle is accompanied by the expansion and contraction of the expandable rod 140A of the piston cylinder 140 which will be described later.
This is done by expanding or contracting the distance between the lowermost ends of the long side plates 132 that are cross-coupled to each other.
Further, this crossing angle change is not limited to the piston cylinder 140, and a rack and pinion mechanism or the like may be used to move the gears along the rack by the driving force of the motor.

In the connecting portion of the long side plate 132, opposite sides of the support plate 128 are connected to each other by a stabilizer bar 138. The stabilizer bar 138 prevents twisting due to uneven load on both sides. Further, a piston cylinder 140 is laid between the lowermost portion on the left side and the uppermost portion on the right side in FIG. 5 of the stabilizer bar 138. That is, the base portion of the main body of the piston cylinder 140 is rotatably attached to the leftmost stabilizer bar 138, and the expandable rod 140A of the piston cylinder 140 is attached to the rightmost stabilizer bar 138 (see FIG. 5). The tip of the is rotatably attached. The expansion / contraction of the expansion / contraction rod 140A of the piston cylinder 140 raises / lowers the support plate 128. The expansion / contraction of the expansion / contraction rod 140A is generated by the driving force of the motor shown in FIG. ) Is performed by converting the rotational movement of the ball screw mechanism portion provided in FIG.

At the upper end of the elevator 130, a rectangular dish-shaped ceiling plate 1 having substantially the same shape as the support plate 128 is provided.
44 is attached downward and guides the expansion / contraction movement of the upper end of the long side plate 132 of the elevator 130.

A shelf 142 is mounted and fixed on the ceiling plate 144 on the upper side.

The shelf portion 142, like the case 108,
The pipe member 104 is assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped shape via the three-way connector 106, and reinforcing pipe members 104 are laid between the upper and lower pipe members 104 on the left and right sides in FIG. As a result, three pipe members 104 that are parallel to each other are arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf 144 in an upright state.

These three pipe members 104 (6 on both left and right sides)
7 (14 on the left and right) shelf receiving plates 146 are attached in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval. The shelf receiving plate 146 has L-shaped surfaces facing each other, and the L-shaped receiving portion 14
The shelf 148 is supported by 6A. As a result, seven stages of shelf boards 148 are formed inside the pipe material assembled in the rectangular parallelepiped shape at a predetermined interval.

The position of the shelf plate 148 can be changed in height by raising and lowering the elevator 130.
Each of the shelves 148 can be associated with the eight openings 114.

The work plate 116 (see FIG. 6) can be accommodated in the shelf plate 148.

The working plate 116 is a box 150 for stocking parts and a fixture for fixing a sub-assembly required for assembly work to a rectangular plate body 150.
A is provided in advance. A pair of long grooves 152 is provided near one side of the work plate 116 (the side corresponding to the opening 114 of the housing 108). This long groove 15
The reference numeral 2 has a role as a grip portion for a worker to grip when the work plate 116 is pulled out from the shelf plate 148. Thereby, the worker can easily pull out the work plate 116.

A substantially L-shaped bracket 154 is attached to a corner of the side opposite to the side where the long groove 152 is provided.
A shaft that is parallel to one side of the cover 156 is attached and is rotatable about this shaft.

The cover 156 has flexibility, and the surface of the work plate 116 can be covered by tilting (laying) it on the work plate 116, so that dust and the like can be covered. Accumulation on 116 can be prevented.

The cover 156 is provided on the housing 10 after the working plate 116 is pulled out from the opening 114.
By leaning against 8, it also has a function as a work instruction sheet. The cover 156 of the housing 108
A magnet and a magnetic body (not shown) are provided between the leaning position and the cover 156, and the leaning state is maintained by the magnetic force. (Workbench 102) The work plate 116 pulled out from the housing 108 is placed on the workbench 102 connected to the housing 108 at a predetermined position.

As shown in FIG. 7, the workbench 102 has four
Conveying base 158 in which both ends in the longitudinal direction of the pipe material 104, which is a pillar of the book, are formed by the pipe material 104, respectively.
By being connected to the support base 160, a so-called wagon shape is formed.

Casters 162 are attached to the lower portions of the four corners of the carrying base 158, so that the workbench 102 can be carried by itself. Further, the front side of the transport base 158 in FIG. 7 is slightly offset from the pipe material 104 serving as the pillar (toward the rear side by the dimension Off shown in FIG. 7) to expand the space at the foot of the worker.

The support base 160 is made of the pipe material 10.
4 is assembled into a substantially U-shape with the front side of FIG. 7 recessed, and the work plate mounting table 164 is attached along the U-shape. That is, the work plate mounting table 164 is also substantially U-shaped in a plan view, and the worker can work the work plate 1 through the opening 114 of the housing 108.
A work space 165 is provided when the 16 is pulled out. An operator leans into the work space 165 and pulls out the work plate 116 to facilitate the pulling out work. Further, a stopper fitting 166 is attached to the front end of the work plate mounting table 164 in FIG. 7 and abuts on the drawn work plate 116 to prevent the work plate 116 from being pulled out too much.

A tool holder 168 is attached to the two columns (pipe material 104) located on the right side of FIG. 7, and a plurality of work plates 116 accommodated in the shelf plate 148.
Common tools necessary for the equipment assembly work in are stored in advance.

A connecting bar (pipe member) 170 is attached substantially horizontally to the pipe member (support) on the far side of the workbench 102 in FIG. 7, and connecting arms (pipe member) 17 are provided from both ends thereof.
2 is further projected to the back side.

A pair of substantially arc-shaped joint fittings 174 are attached to the tip of the connecting arm 172, respectively, and the pipe material of the casing 108 (standing upright on the front side in FIG. 7) is installed. It can be connected to the pipe material) 104.

Normally, this workbench 102 is provided with a housing 108.
The work plate 116, which is used in a state of being connected to the shelf plate 148, is sequentially pulled out and repeatedly stored, and the device assembling work is performed. Accordingly, a single workbench can be used as a plurality of (seven in the present embodiment) different work plates 116,
The work space is being reduced.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

First, the work plate 114 is housed on the shelf plate 148 in the shelf portion 142 of the stocker 100 with the work table 102 removed from the housing 108. At the time of this accommodation, the uppermost shelf 148 is opened with the opening 114.
When the work plate 116 is accommodated in the uppermost shelf plate 148, the second shelf plate 14 from the top is attached.
The next working plate 116 is accommodated in 8, and finally the working plate 116 is accommodated up to the lowermost shelf 148. In this way, since all the positions for accommodating the working plate 116 are at the height positions with the opening 114, the accommodating work is simple and can be performed quickly.

When the working plate 116 is completely stored,
The workbench 102 is connected to the housing 108. In this work, the work body 102 is transported on the work space, and the connecting arm 17
The joint fitting 174 at the tip of 2 is connected to the pipe member 104 of the housing 108. This completes the positioning and the connection between the housing 108 and the workbench 102.

The operator operates the elevator 130 to take out a desired work plate 116. For example, when taking out the work plate 116 placed on the uppermost shelf 148, the pantograph section is lifted by the elevator 130. Move 134 to the lowest position. As a result, the uppermost shelf 148 is held in a state corresponding to the opening 114.

Next, the worker leans out to take out the work plate 116 from the housing 108. At this time, since the work plate mounting table 164 of the work table 102 is recessed into a substantially U-shape to form the work space 165 ,
The interference with the operator is small, and the long hole 152 which is the grip portion provided on the work plate 116 can be easily reached.

The operator hooks a finger or the like on the long hole 152 and pulls out the work plate 116. At this time, the opening 11
The lower pipe member 104 forming the roller No. 4 has a roller 118
Since the work plate 116 is pulled out while riding on the roller 118, the work plate 116 can be pulled out smoothly without applying excessive force.

The work plate 116 that has been pulled out is at the same height as the opening 114.
The position is determined by being placed on 64 and contacting the stopper fitting 166.

A cover 156 is attached to the work plate 116, and the cover 156 is opened to leave the housing 108.
Lean down. At this time, the cover 156 is maintained in a state of being leaned against the housing 108 by the magnetic force, so that the work surface of the work plate 116 can be exposed.
In this state, the worker will assemble the device, but since the pipe material 104 on the front side of the transport base 158 of the workbench 102 is slightly offset, a space at the foot is surely secured during the work. It is possible to prevent the workbench 102 from rocking or falling down by interfering with the workbench 102.

Further, since the instruction sheet on the work plate 116 is attached (or written) on the cover 156 leaning against the casing 108, the operator writes this instruction sheet. You can check the work contents by looking at it.

Further, since the parts and the like are housed in the box 150A and the common tools are housed neatly in the tool holder 168 on the side of the workbench 102, the work efficiency is good.

When a series of work according to the instructions is completed,
The worker puts the cover 156 on the surface of the work plate 116 and pushes out the work plate 116 in the direction opposite to the direction when the drawer is drawn, that is, in the direction of the housing 108. By this pushing-out operation, the work plate 116 rides on the roller 118 and is accommodated in the shelf plate 148 which was originally accommodated as it is.

Next, the operator operates the elevator 130,
Next, in order to pull out the necessary work plate 116, the shelf 1
42 is moved up and down (in this case, since it was the uppermost stage, it is lowered). Then, the working plate 11
6 is pulled out and a predetermined work is performed.

As described above, in the present embodiment,
A plurality of work plates 116 are stored in advance in the shelf portion 142 in the housing 108 of the stocker 100, and the desired work plate 116 is a drawer 1 by the elevator.
The height of the opening 114 of the work table 102 is adjusted to the work table 102.
Since it can be pulled out onto the work plate mounting table 164 of the above, a plurality of works can be performed on the single work table 102, and a plurality of work plates 116 corresponding to the plurality of works can be provided on the shelf portion 142. It can be housed in multiple layers. As a result, the working space can be made extremely small.

Further, the workbench 102 can be easily removed from the housing 108, and the workbench 102 can be moved within the work space by itself, so that it is possible to easily cope with a change in work process. Therefore, the work efficiency when changing the work process is improved.

In the present embodiment, the casing 108 is packaged.
Although only the frame of the ip material is used, a panel may be attached after the frame so that the inside cannot be seen. In this case, it also prevents dust from entering. Further, as an elevator, the shelf 142
Although the structure is such that the rack is lifted from below, it may be lifted up and down by holding the shelf in a suspended state. In this case, it is preferable to provide a balancer such as an elevator.
