Registered Utility Model No. 3002888 JP-A-8-85497

  By the way, the dolly 51 (FIG. 14) according to the first reference technique needs to temporarily remove the mounting portion 72 of the airframe 71, and the working efficiency is poor. There is also a problem that an interface necessary for installing the wire 74 and the winch 76 is required on the machine body 71 side.

  The dolly 51 (FIGS. 15A and 15B) according to the second reference technique needs to adjust the tilt of the imaging device 61 by screw feed of the leveler adjustment unit 56 provided in the vertical direction. In short, work efficiency is poor. In addition, it is necessary to raise the imaging device 61 to the airframe 71 by rotating the handle portion 56b of each level adjusting unit 56, which also deteriorates work efficiency. Furthermore, when the image pickup device 61 is rotated in the tilt direction by the leveler adjustment unit 56, the image pickup device 61 is largely displaced in the horizontal direction (width W), so that fine adjustment of the image pickup device 61 in the horizontal direction is troublesome. But work efficiency is bad.

  The dolly 51 (FIG. 16) according to the third reference technique needs to wear the image pickup device 61 by a human hand, so there is a concern that the image pickup device 61 is dropped. In addition, the work efficiency is poor because a large amount of labor is required for the operator depending on the weight and dimensions of the imaging device 61.

  As with the dolly 51 according to the second reference technique, the dolly 51 according to the fourth reference technique adjusts the tilt of the dolly 51 by screw feed of the leveler adjustment unit 59 provided in the vertical direction. Since it is necessary, labor is required for screw feeding and work efficiency is poor. In addition, the outer frame 52 and the inner frame 58 of the dolly 51 must be formed at a height that extends to the vicinity of the mounting surface 63 of the imaging device 61, and it is necessary to provide a reinforcing beam 58b for ensuring the strength of the frames 52 and 58. In addition, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the frames 52 and 58. For this reason, an increase in the weight of the dolly 51 increases the labor of screw feeding of the leveler adjusting portion 59, and this point is also inefficient in work.

  The subject of this invention is providing the alignment apparatus which can improve the working efficiency at the time of aligning a mounted article to a mounting position in view of the said conventional situation.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an alignment apparatus according to the present invention is a positioning apparatus for aligning a mounting object with a mounting position. And a holding part movable in the horizontal direction.

According to the above configuration, the attachment can be adjusted in the tilt direction by easily rotating the attachment in the tilt direction by the movement of the holding portion in the substantially horizontal direction.
Preferably, a configuration is provided that includes a tilt direction rotation support portion that supports rotation in the tilt direction of the attached object accompanying the movement of the holding portion in a substantially horizontal direction.

According to the above configuration, the tilt direction rotation support portion serves as a fulcrum (support portion) for rotation in the tilt direction of the attachment, and the attachment can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction.
Preferably, the tilt direction rotation support portion is arranged at the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface of the frame or in the vicinity thereof.

According to the said structure, the space | interval of a holding | maintenance part and a tilt direction rotation support part is ensured, and the shift | offset | difference to the horizontal direction at the time of rotating a mounting thing to a tilt direction can be suppressed.
Preferably, the support unit horizontal direction adjustment unit that moves the tilt direction rotation support unit in a substantially horizontal direction is further provided.

  According to the above configuration, a gap suitable for the rotation of the mounted object in the tilt direction can be provided between the tilt direction rotation support portion and the mounted object, and the mounted object can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction.

Preferably, the first tilt adjustment unit and the second tilt adjustment unit are further provided to move the holding unit in a substantially horizontal direction orthogonal to each other.
According to the above-described configuration, the attachment can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction by freely moving the holding portion in the substantially horizontal direction.

  In the present invention, since the holding portion that holds the attachment is movable in the substantially horizontal direction within the frame, the attachment is easily rotated in the tilt direction by the movement of the holding portion in the substantially horizontal direction. You can adjust the tilt. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the work efficiency when aligning the attachment with the attachment position.

In the frame 2, a holding frame 3 and a lower cushioning material 4 that hold the imaging device 20 and can move in the frame 2 in the horizontal direction (substantially horizontal direction) are disposed.

  The holding frame 3 can be moved in the horizontal direction in the frame 2 by a first tilt adjustment unit 6 and a second tilt adjustment unit 70 described later. Note that a low friction material such as Teflon (registered trademark) may be disposed on the bottom surface of the holding frame 3 in order to reduce friction with the frame 2 due to movement of the holding frame 3 in the horizontal direction.

  The lower cushioning material 4 is spread in the holding frame 3 and holds the imaging device 21 with the mounting surface 21a facing upward in the vertical direction. The lower cushioning material 4 is formed with a recess 4 a for holding the lower part of the imaging device 2.

  The concave portion 4a of the lower cushioning material 4 is formed so that a gap generated between the concave portion 4a and the imaging device 2 is increased toward the mouth portion 4b. Note that this gap effectively allows the tilting direction rotation of the imaging device 2 to be described later.

  The upper cushioning material 5 is disposed over the entire circumferential direction of the imaging device 20 on the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2, and a convex portion 5a serving as a fulcrum for rotation (rotation angle θ) in the tilt direction of the imaging device 20 is provided. Is provided. Therefore, the convex portion 5a is desirably located on the mounting surface 21a side of the imaging device 20, and is located at the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2 in the present embodiment.

  Note that the convex portion 5a of the upper cushioning material 5 is desirably located with a predetermined gap from the imaging device 20 so as to allow tilt adjustment of the imaging device 20 described later. Moreover, although the convex part 5a in this embodiment is exhibiting the semicircle shape in sectional view as shown in FIG. 4, if the shape can become a fulcrum of rotation of the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction, the shape is not limited. .

  The first tilt adjustment unit 6 and the second tilt adjustment unit 7 are arranged in directions perpendicular to each other at the lower part of the frame 2 so as to move the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 in the horizontal direction.

  The first tilt adjustment unit 6 and the second tilt adjustment unit 7 include threaded portions 6a and 7a disposed through the frame 2 in a direction substantially coinciding with the center of gravity position 24 of the imaging device 20 illustrated in FIG. The handle portions 6b and 7b are rotated to screw the portions 6a and 7a, and the reinforcing plates 6c and 7c are formed with screw holes through which the screw portions 6a and 7a pass. The end portions of the screw portions 6 a and 7 a are engaged with a rotary bearing 3 a provided on the holding frame 3.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the lifter device 40 includes a fork portion 41 on which the dolly 1 is placed, wheels 42, and the like, and the dolly 1 can be moved up and down by the vertical movement of the fork portion 41. As shown in FIG. 4, a low friction material 2 b such as Teflon (registered trademark) is disposed on the bottom surface of the frame 2, and it is easy to finely adjust the dolly 1 on the fork portion 41 in the horizontal direction.

Hereinafter, alignment of the imaging device 20 using the dolly 1 will be described.
7A and 7B are cross-sectional views for explaining tilt adjustment of the imaging apparatus 20 using the dolly 1 according to the present embodiment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, the dolly 1 is placed on the fork portion 41 of the lifter device 40. Then, the lifter device 40 is moved in the horizontal direction so that the bolt insertion hole 32 of the body 30 and the mounting hole 21b of the imaging device 20 are moved, and the pin insertion hole 33 of the body 30 and the guide pin 21c of the imaging device 20 are moved. Align roughly.

  In this state, the fork 41 of the lifter device 40 is moved upward to raise the dolly 1 to the vicinity of the fuselage 30 as shown in FIG. 7B. Then, by rotating the handle portions 6b and 7b of the first tilt adjusting portion 6 and the second tilt adjusting portion 7, the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 are moved in the horizontal direction by screw feeding of the screw portions 6a and 7a. Let

  Thereby, the convex part 5a of the upper shock absorbing material 5 serves as a fulcrum, and the imaging device 20 rotates in the tilt direction (rotation angle θ). Here, since the convex portion 5a of the cushioning material 5 is positioned at the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2, the tilting direction rotation of the imaging device 20 causes the shift width in the horizontal direction of the imaging device 20 shown in FIG. 7B. W is a minute amount.

  After adjusting the body 30 and the mounting surface 21a of the imaging device 20 to be parallel to each other by the first tilt adjustment unit 6 and the second tilt adjustment unit 7, the fork unit 41 of the lifter device 40 is slowly raised.

  Here, if the bolt insertion hole 32 of the machine body 30 and the mounting hole 21b of the imaging device 20 do not match the pin insertion hole 33 of the machine body 30 and the guide pin 21c of the imaging device 20, the dolly 1 is used. A small amount is slid in the horizontal direction on the fork part 41 to make them coincide.

After confirming the coincidence, the dolly 1 is raised again by the fork portion 41, the mounting surface 21a of the image pickup device 20 and the airframe 30 are brought into contact with each other, and the guide pin 21c of the image pickup device 20 is moved to the airframe 30.
To be inserted into the pin insertion hole 33.

  Then, the mounting bolt 31 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 32 of the machine body 30 from above, and the mounting bolt 31 is fixed to the mounting hole 21 b of the imaging device 20. Thereby, the imaging device 20 is installed in the body 30.

  When the imaging device 20 is removed from the machine body 30, the dolly 1 may be lifted by the fork portion 41 and the mounting bolt 31 may be removed while the installed imaging device 20 is held by the lower cushioning material 4.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the convex portion 5a of the upper cushioning material 5 is disposed on the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2 has been described as a preferred example, but the convex portion 5a is the mounting surface 21a of the imaging device 20. The tilt adjustment of the imaging device 20 can be effectively performed if it contacts the peripheral surface in the vicinity. Therefore, the arrangement position of the convex part 5a may be arranged not in the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2 but in the vicinity of the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a or other part.

  However, the convex portion 5a of the upper cushioning material 5 can be a fulcrum of rotation of the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction without contacting the outer peripheral surface near the mounting surface 21a of the imaging device 20. Therefore, the convex portion 5a does not necessarily need to contact the outer peripheral surface near the attachment surface 21a of the imaging device 20.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper cushioning material 5 is employed as the tilt direction rotation support portion. However, depending on the attachment (imaging device 20), the tilt direction rotation support portion (convex portion 5a) may be formed of a hard member. Is also possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the positioning device has been described as the dolly 1, but the positioning device may be any device including the frame 2 and the holding portion (the holding frame 3 and the cushioning material 4). However, the present invention is not limited to a device having wheels 8.

  In the present embodiment, the direction in which the holding frame 3 is movable is described as the horizontal direction (substantially horizontal direction). However, for example, when the dolly 1 is tilted, the moving direction of the holding frame 3 is the dolly 1. It changes with the inclination. Therefore, the horizontal direction in which the holding frame 3 is movable in the present embodiment refers to the direction in which the dolly 1 is not tilted.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 are used as the holding unit has been described. However, the holding unit can hold the imaging device 20 as an attachment, and What is necessary is just to be able to move the inside of 2 in a substantially horizontal direction.

  In the present embodiment described above, the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 that hold the imaging device 20 can move in the frame 2 in the horizontal direction (substantially horizontal direction). Therefore, the tilt adjustment of the imaging device 20 can be performed by an easy operation of rotating the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction (rotation angle θ) by the movement of the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 in the substantially horizontal direction. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve work efficiency when aligning the imaging device 20 with respect to the machine body 30.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the dolly 1 includes the convex portion 5a of the upper cushioning material 5 that supports the rotation of the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction accompanying the movement of the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 in the horizontal direction. . Therefore, the convex portion 5a becomes a fulcrum of rotation of the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction, and the imaging device 20 can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction. Therefore, working efficiency can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, the convex portion 5 a of the upper cushioning material 5 is disposed on the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2 a of the frame 2. Therefore, the space | interval of the recessed part 4a (force point) of the lower buffer material 4 holding the imaging device 20 and the convex part 5a (fulcrum) of the upper buffer material 5 is ensured. As a result, the imaging device 20 can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction, and the horizontal displacement width W associated with the tilt adjustment of the imaging device 20 can be suppressed to facilitate alignment of the imaging device 20 in the horizontal direction. Can do. Therefore, working efficiency can be further improved.

  Furthermore, since the convex portion 5a of the upper cushioning material 5 serves as a fulcrum of rotation in the tilt direction of the imaging device 20 at the upper edge of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the frame 2, the holding frame 3 is extended to the upper edge of the frame 2. The weight of the holding frame 3 is reduced as compared with the case where the imaging device 20 is tilted and adjusted at the upper edge of the frame 2 based on the positional relationship between the holding frame 3 and the frame 2 (for example, the fourth reference technique shown in FIG. 17). You can also In addition, the holding frame 3 can be reduced in weight from the viewpoint of avoiding the arrangement of the reinforcing beams on the holding frame 3 and the increase in the thickness of the holding frame 3. Therefore, the working efficiency can be further improved and the cost of the dolly 1 can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the cushioning material 5 is employed as the tilt direction rotation support portion that supports the rotation of the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction. Therefore, damage to the imaging device 20 can be prevented. Moreover, the dolly 1 can be reduced in weight and work efficiency can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, the first tilt adjustment unit 6 and the second tilt adjustment unit 7 that move the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 in the horizontal direction perpendicular to each other are arranged. Therefore, by operating the two handle portions 6b and 7b, the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 can be freely moved in the horizontal direction, and the imaging device 20 can be effectively rotated in the tilt direction. Therefore, working efficiency can be further improved.

And a Y-axis table 9y that moves in the Y-axis direction (the depth direction in the figure) that is the horizontal direction (substantially horizontal direction) by screw feed of the second tilt adjustment unit 7.

  The X-axis table 9x and the Y-axis table 9y may be configured to slide in the respective axial directions on a support unit (not shown) fixed to the frame 2, for example. Although not shown, each table 9x, 9y has a portion that contacts the ends of the screw portions 6a, 7a of the first tilt adjustment portion 6 and the second tilt adjustment portion 7 in the first embodiment. A rotary bearing similar to the rotary bearing 3a of the holding frame 3 described above may be provided.

In the present embodiment described above, the holding frame 3 and the lower cushioning material 4 are arranged at the lower part of the holding frame 3 by screw feeding of the screw parts 6a and 7a of the first tilt adjusting part 6 and the second tilt adjusting part 7. The XY stage 9 moves by sliding in each direction. Therefore, the screw feed of the first tilt adjustment unit 6 and the second tilt adjustment unit 7 can be performed with a weak force, and the holding frame 3 can be moved freely in the horizontal direction to move the imaging device 20 in the tilt direction (rotation angle θ). ) Can be rotated effectively. Therefore, the working efficiency when aligning the imaging device 20 with respect to the machine body 30 can be further improved as compared with the first embodiment.
