Description

  The present invention relates to a work table used for a predetermined work, for example, a work table used for a work of filling a peripheral portion of a multilayer glass with a sealing material.

  The double-glazed glass has, for example, a configuration in which two glass plates are arranged so as to face each other at a predetermined interval via a spacer, and a gap (air layer) between the two glass plates is sealed with a sealing material. It has become. In order to seal the double-glazed glass, for example, as a primary seal, a spacer containing a desiccant configured in a frame shape is disposed between the peripheral portions of two glass plates, and the spacer and two sheets are disposed. Adhere to the glass plate. Further, as a secondary seal, a sealing material (also referred to as a caulking material) is filled between the outer peripheral portion of the spacer and the two glass plates. Thereby, it can prevent that a water | moisture content, moisture, etc. penetrate | invade into the dry air layer formed in the clearance gap between two glass plates.

  When mass production of double glazings of the same size is performed, the filling work of the sealing material is often performed by an automatic machine. On the other hand, when producing multiple types of multi-layer glass in small quantities, it is necessary to prepare and adjust when changing the size of the product, so the filling work of the sealing material is generally performed manually by the operator himself / herself. It is. In this case, the worker places and fixes the multi-layer glass not filled with the sealing material on the work table, and attaches the sealing material to the periphery of the multi-layer glass with a sealing gun (also called a caulking gun) or the like. Work to fill the entire circumference.

  Conventionally, various configurations have been devised for a work table for filling a sealing material in a peripheral portion of a multilayer glass. For example, there is a configuration in which a multilayer glass is placed on a rotatable table provided on a work table, and a sealing material is filled in a peripheral portion of the multilayer glass while rotating the table as necessary. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

  However, in the conventional work table, it is necessary to change the direction of the sealing gun and the direction of the work table (multi-layer glass) in accordance with the location where the sealing material is filled, which has been one factor in reducing workability.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a work table with improved workability.

  In order to achieve such an object, the work table according to the present invention has a polygonal holding surface that matches the shape of the polygonal workpiece on which a predetermined operation is performed, and each side portion on the holding surface. A carrier for placing and holding the workpiece with the same, a base portion for supporting the carrier so as to be movable in a two-dimensional direction substantially parallel to the holding surface, and linearly extending on the base portion. A guide portion having a guide surface that can be contacted with a side portion that is provided and extends perpendicularly to the polygonal side portion of the carrier in a state where the carrier is supported on the base portion. Linear movement means for linearly moving the carrier supported on the base portion along the guide portion while the side portion is in contact with the guide surface, and supported on the base portion The two-dimensional carrier Constructed and a rotational moving means for rotationally moving around a vertical rotation axis with respect to direction. The rotating shaft is provided on the extended surface of the guide surface so as to extend perpendicularly to the two-dimensional direction, and the linear moving means keeps any one of the side portions in contact with the guide surface, At least one end of the side portion in contact with the guide surface is positioned from the starting position where the rotating shaft or the vicinity of the rotating shaft is located, and the other end of the side portion is positioned near the rotating shaft or the rotating shaft. The carrier can be linearly moved to an arrival position where the rotational movement means has at least the side portion that is in contact with the guide surface from the arrival position on an extension surface of the guide surface. The carrier can be rotated and moved to the starting position where the other side part adjacent to the side part contacts the guide surface.

  In the above-described work table, the rotation moving unit includes a rotation member that is rotatably provided around the rotation shaft above the base portion, and a connecting member that rotatably connects the guide portion and the rotation member. And the rotating member rotates from a standby position that does not hinder linear movement of the carrier toward the carrier located at the arrival position, and presses the carrier located at the arrival position to press the departure position. It is possible to rotate and move up to.

  In the above-described work table, the linear moving means includes a rectilinear member supported on the base portion so as to be linearly movable along the guide portion, and the rectilinear member is configured so that the carrier of the carrier by the rotational moving means is supported. It is possible to linearly move from the retracted position that does not prevent rotational movement toward the carrier located at the departure position, and to push the carrier located at the departure position and move linearly to the arrival position.

  In the work table described above, the base portion includes a plate-like support member extending in the two-dimensional direction and a plurality of casters arranged on the support member so as to face upward and aligned in the two-dimensional direction. The plurality of casters support the carrier so as to be movable in the two-dimensional direction.

  In the work table described above, a work position with respect to the work held by the carrier is set to the rotary shaft or the vicinity of the rotary shaft.

  In the work table described above, the workpiece is the polygonal multi-layer glass, and as the predetermined operation, an operation of filling a peripheral portion of the multi-layer glass with a sealing material is performed.

  According to the present invention, the linear moving means rotates one end of the side portion that contacts the guide surface while any one of the side portions perpendicular to the polygonal side portion of the carrier is in contact with the guide surface. The carrier can be linearly moved from a starting position located near the shaft or the rotating shaft to an arrival position where the other end of the side portion is located near the rotating shaft or the rotating shaft. In addition, the rotational movement means is configured such that, from the arrival position described above, the side portion that is in contact with the guide surface is separated from the extended surface of the guide surface, and the other side portion adjacent to the side portion contacts the guide surface. It is possible to rotate the carrier to the starting position where it contacts. By repeating the linear movement by the linear moving means and the rotational movement by the rotational moving means, the side portion of the polygonal workpiece passes through the vicinity of the rotational axis of the rotational moving means in the same direction. Therefore, if the work position with respect to the work is set to the rotation axis through which the side portion of the work passes or in the vicinity of the rotation axis, the work position can be fixed regardless of the direction of the work, thus improving workability. Is possible.

  Further, the rotational movement means uses a rotating member that is rotatable above the base portion and a connecting member that rotatably connects the guide portion and the rotating member, and presses the carrier located at the arrival position to start the position. If it is made to rotate and move to, it becomes possible to rotate the carrier with a simple configuration.

  Further, the linear moving means has a simple configuration by using a linear member supported so as to be linearly movable on the base portion and pressing the carrier positioned at the starting position to linearly move to the arrival position. The carrier can be moved linearly.

  Further, the base portion supports the carrier movably in the two-dimensional direction using a plate-like support member extending in the two-dimensional direction and a plurality of casters arranged upward on the support member. For example, when the linear moving means linearly moves the carrier, the straightness of the carrier can be improved by the caster. For this reason, the side portions of the polygonal workpiece reliably pass in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the rotational movement means in the same direction, so that the workability can be further improved.

  Further, if the work position with respect to the workpiece is set to the rotation axis of the rotary movement means or the vicinity of the rotation axis, the side portion of one side of the polygonal workpiece is obtained by one linear movement from the starting position to the arrival position of the carrier. On the other hand, a predetermined operation can be continuously performed from one end to the other end, and the workability can be further improved.

  Moreover, if the work is made into a polygonal multi-layer glass, and the work of filling the sealing material in the peripheral portion of the multi-layer glass is performed as a predetermined work, the workability of the work of filling the seal material is effectively improved. It becomes possible.
