Description

本発明は、筒状軟体物取付装置および取付方法に関するものである。より詳しくは、少なくとも先端部が円筒形となっている筒状軟体物(例えばホース)の先端部を、先端が円筒状または円柱状となっている剛性を有する取付部(例えば樹脂製管状部)の外周に嵌め合わせることで、筒状軟体物を取付部に取り付ける筒状軟体物取付装置および取付方法に関するものである。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tubular soft object attachment device and an attachment method. More specifically, at least the distal end of a cylindrical soft body (eg, hose) having a cylindrical shape is attached to a rigid mounting part (eg, a resin tubular part) having a cylindrical or cylindrical tip. The present invention relates to a tubular soft body mounting device and a mounting method for mounting a cylindrical soft body on a mounting portion by fitting the cylindrical soft body on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body.

従来、例えば特許文献1に見られるように、管状部材の端部にその軸線と直交する平面に対し25度〜60度のアプローチ角度でホースの端部を接近させ、ロボットハンドのチャックからのホースの端部の突き出し量を10mm〜15mmとして、前記角度方向に前記突き出し量より2mm程度少ない一次挿入量挿入し、その後、管状部材の軸線とホースの軸線とが一致するようにホースを起こすことで、ホースを管状部材に取り付けるホース取付方法が知られている。 Conventionally, as seen in, for example, Patent Document 1, the end of the hose is approached to the end of the tubular member at an approach angle of 25 to 60 degrees with respect to a plane orthogonal to the axis of the hose from the chuck of the robot hand. With the protrusion amount of the end portion of 10 mm to 15 mm, the insertion amount is inserted in the angular direction by about 2 mm less than the protrusion amount, and then the hose is raised so that the axis of the tubular member and the axis of the hose are aligned. A method of attaching a hose to a tubular member is known.

この筒状軟体物取付装置によれば、筒状軟体物は、把持部材で把持され、先端部が取付部の先端に当接させられた状態で、揺動機構によって、把持部材とともに、当該筒状軟体物の先端部の軸線が前記取付部の軸線に対して一方および他方に傾斜するように揺動させられ、この揺動機構により揺動させられる把持部材および筒状軟体物が、移動機構によって、前記取付部に向けて移動させられる。
つまり、筒状軟体物は、把持部材で把持され、先端部が揺動機構で揺動させられながら移動機構で取付部に向けて押されることで取付部に取り付けられることとなる。
そして、筒状軟体物の先端部は、その軸線が取付部の軸線に対して一方および他方に傾斜するように、つまり取付部の軸線に対して両方向に揺動させられながら取付部に押し込まれるので、筒状軟体物の変形状態によらず取付部に安定的に取り付けられる。したがって、取付時間が安定する。
According to this tubular soft object attachment device, the tubular soft article is grasped by the grasping member, and in the state where the tip end portion is brought into contact with the tip end of the attaching portion, the tubular soft body article is grasped together with the grasping member by the swinging mechanism.

Is moved toward the mounting portion.
That is, the tubular soft body is attached to the attachment portion by being grasped by the grasping member and being pushed by the moving mechanism toward the attachment portion while the tip end portion is being oscillated by the oscillating mechanism.
Then, the tip end portion of the tubular soft body is pushed into the attaching portion while being swung in both directions with respect to the axis of the attaching portion, that is, the axis thereof is inclined to one side and the other side. Therefore, the tubular soft body can be stably attached to the attachment portion regardless of the deformed state. Therefore, the mounting time is stable.

この筒状軟体物取付装置においては、
前記揺動機構は、少なくとも、前記筒状軟体物の先端部が、該先端部の軸線が前記取付部の軸線に対して一方に傾斜する第1の傾斜位置と他方に傾斜する第2の傾斜位置とを含むように前記筒状軟体物を揺動させる揺動機構であり、

前記揺動機構は、前記取付部の軸線に対する前記第1の傾斜位置の傾斜角に比べて前記第2の傾斜位置の傾斜角を小さくする構成とすることができる。
In this tubular soft object mounting device,
In the swinging mechanism, at least a distal end portion of the tubular soft object has a first inclination position in which an axis of the distal end portion inclines to one side with respect to an axis line of the mounting portion, and a second inclination inclines to the other. A rocking mechanism for rocking the tubular soft body so as to include a position,
In the moving mechanism, the distal end portion of the tubular soft body located at the second inclined position is moved further relative to the mounting portion with respect to the distal end portion of the tubular soft body located at the first inclined position. It is a moving mechanism that moves it to the position,
The swinging mechanism may be configured such that the tilt angle of the second tilt position is smaller than the tilt angle of the first tilt position with respect to the axis of the mounting portion.

このように構成すると、筒状軟体物の先端部が取付部に対し取付方向へ移動するにつれて、取付部の軸線に対する筒状軟体物の先端部の傾斜角を小さくすることができるため、移動機構による筒状軟体物の先端部の取付部への押し込み動作を円滑化することが可能となる。結果として、筒状軟体物を取付部に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。 According to this structure, as the tip end portion of the tubular soft body moves in the mounting direction with respect to the mounting portion, the inclination angle of the tip end portion of the tubular soft body with respect to the axis of the mounting portion can be reduced, and thus the moving mechanism can be used.

As a result, the tubular soft body can be smoothly attached to the attachment portion.

この筒状軟体物取付装置においては、
前記把持部材は、前記筒状軟体物の先端面から、筒状軟体物の先端部の内径の1.5倍以上、4倍以下の部位を把持する構成とすることができる。
このように構成すると、筒状軟体物を取付部に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。
把持部材による把持位置を、筒状軟体物の先端面から、筒状軟体物の先端部の内径の1.5倍未満とすると、筒状軟体物の把持部から先端面までの部分の自由度(撓りやすさ)が低くなって筒状軟体物の先端部の取付部への円滑な押し込み動作が困難になるおそれがある。一方、把持部材による把持位置を、筒状軟体物の先端面から、筒状軟体物の先端部の内径の4倍超とすると、筒状軟体物の把持部から先端面までの部分は、自由度(撓りやすさ)が高くなりすぎて座屈を生じるおそれがある。座屈が生じると筒状軟体物の先端部の取付部への円滑な押し込み動作が困難になる。
これに対し、把持部材の把持位置を、筒状軟体物の先端面から、筒状軟体物の先端部の内径の1.5倍以上、4倍以下の部位とすることで、筒状軟体物の先端部の取付部への押し込み動作を円滑化することが可能となる。結果として、筒状軟体物を取付部に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。

According to this structure, it is possible to smoothly attach the cylindrical soft body to the attachment portion.
When the gripping position by the gripping member is less than 1.5 times the inner diameter of the tip end surface of the tubular soft body from the tip end surface of the cylindrical soft body, the degree of freedom of the portion from the gripping portion of the tubular soft body to the tip surface (Flexibility) becomes low, which may make it difficult to smoothly push the distal end of the cylindrical soft body into the mounting portion. On the other hand, if the gripping position by the gripping member is more than 4 times the inner diameter of the tip end surface of the cylindrical soft body of the tubular soft body, the portion from the gripping section of the tubular soft body to the tip surface is free. The degree of bending (flexibility) may become too high and buckling may occur. When buckling occurs, it is difficult to smoothly push the distal end of the cylindrical soft material into the mounting portion.
On the other hand, by setting the gripping position of the gripping member from the tip surface of the tubular soft body to a portion that is 1.5 times or more and 4 times or less the inner diameter of the tip of the tubular soft body, It is possible to smooth the pushing operation of the tip portion of the into the mounting portion. As a result, the tubular soft body can be smoothly attached to the attachment portion.

図1に示す筒状軟体物取付装置1は、先端部11が円筒形となっている筒状軟体物(例えばホース)10の前記先端部11を、先端21が円筒状または円柱状の剛性を有する取付部(例えば樹脂製パイプまたは金属製パイプ)20の外周22に嵌め合わせることで、筒状軟体物10を取付部20に取り付ける装置である。 A tubular soft object mounting device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a tip end 11 of a cylindrical soft article (for example, a hose) 10 having a cylindrical end portion 11 and a tip end 21 having a cylindrical or columnar rigidity. This is a device for attaching the cylindrical soft body 10 to the attachment portion 20 by fitting the attachment portion 20 (for example, a resin pipe or a metal pipe) 20 with the outer periphery 22 thereof.

この筒状軟体物取付装置1は、筒状軟体物10を把持する把持部材30と、筒状軟体物10を揺動させる揺動機構40と、筒状軟体物10を取付部20に向けて移動させる移動機構50とを備えている。 The tubular soft body mounting device 1 includes a gripping member 30 for gripping the tubular soft body 10, a swinging mechanism 40 for swinging the tubular soft body 10, and the tubular soft body 10 facing the mounting portion 20. The moving mechanism 50 for moving is provided.

揺動機構40は、把持部材30で把持された筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20の先端21に当接させた状態で(図3参照)、把持部材30および筒状軟体物10を、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1が取付部20の軸線A2に対して一方および他方に傾斜するように揺動させる。 The swinging mechanism 40 holds the holding member 30 and the tubular soft material in a state where the tip 11 of the tubular soft material 10 held by the holding member 30 is in contact with the tip 21 of the mounting portion 20 (see FIG. 3 ). 10 is swung so that the axis A1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is inclined to one side and the other with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20.

移動機構50は、揺動機構40により揺動する把持部材30および筒状軟体物10を、取付部20に向けて移動させる。 The moving mechanism 50 moves the gripping member 30 and the cylindrical soft body 10 which are rocked by the rocking mechanism 40 toward the mounting portion 20.

上記のような筒状軟体物取付装置1を用いた筒状軟体物取付方法は、筒状軟体物10を把持部材30で把持し、この把持部材30で把持された筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20の先端21に当接させた状態で、把持部材30および筒状軟体物10を、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1が取付部20の軸線A2に対して一方および他方に傾斜するように揺動機構40で揺動させながら、移動機構50で取付部20に向けて移動させることにより筒状軟体物10を取付部20に取り付けることを特徴としている。 The tubular soft body mounting method using the tubular soft body mounting apparatus 1 as described above holds the tubular soft body 10 by the gripping member 30, and the tip of the tubular soft body 10 gripped by the gripping member 30. With the portion 11 in contact with the tip 21 of the mounting portion 20, the gripping member 30 and the tubular soft body 10 are arranged such that the axis A1 of the tip 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is relative to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20. It is characterized in that the cylindrical soft body 10 is attached to the mounting portion 20 by moving the moving body 50 toward the mounting portion 20 while swinging the swinging mechanism 40 so as to incline to one side and the other.

この実施の形態の筒状軟体物取付装置1ないし取付方法によれば、筒状軟体物10は、把持部材30で把持され、先端部11が取付部20の先端21に当接させられた状態で、揺動機構40によって、例えば図3に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1が取付部20の軸線A2に対して一方および他方(図3において右左方向)に傾斜するように揺動させられ、この揺動機構40により揺動させられる把持部材30(図3においては図示を省略)および筒状軟体物10が、移動機構50によって、取付部20に向けて移動させられる。 According to the tubular soft object attaching device 1 or the attaching method of this embodiment, the tubular soft object 10 is grasped by the grasping member 30, and the tip portion 11 is brought into contact with the tip 21 of the attaching portion 20. Then, by the swinging mechanism 40, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the axis A1 of the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft object 10 is inclined to one side and the other side (right and left direction in FIG. 3) with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20. The gripping member 30 (not shown in FIG. 3) and the cylindrical soft body 10 that are swung so as to be swung by the swing mechanism 40 are moved toward the mounting portion 20 by the moving mechanism 50.

つまり、筒状軟体物10は、把持部材30で把持され、先端部11が揺動機構40で揺動させられながら移動機構50で取付部20に向けて押されることで取付部20に取り付けられることとなる。 That is, the tubular soft body 10 is attached to the attachment portion 20 by being held by the holding member 30 and being pushed by the moving mechanism 50 toward the attachment portion 20 while the tip end portion 11 is being swung by the swinging mechanism 40. It will be.

そして、筒状軟体物10の先端部11は、その軸線A1が取付部20の軸線A2に対して一方および他方に傾斜するように、つまり取付部20の軸線A2に対して両方向に揺動させられながら取付部20に押し込まれるので、筒状軟体物10の変形状態によらず取付部20に安定的に取り付けられる。したがって、取付時間が安定する。 The tip portion 11 of the tubular soft object 10 is swung in both directions with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20 such that its axis A1 is inclined to one and the other with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20. Since the cylindrical soft body 10 is pushed into the mounting portion 20 while being pushed, it can be stably mounted to the mounting portion 20 regardless of the deformed state of the tubular soft body 10. Therefore, the mounting time is stable.

把持部材30は、筒状軟体物10を揺動させながら取付部20に押し込むことができるように筒状軟体物10を把持することができる構造であれば任意の構造を採用し得る。この実施の形態では、平行開閉型のエアチャック機構31で開閉する一対のクランパ32,32で構成されている。図1(a)の実線は筒状軟体物10を把持した状態を示しており、仮想線は筒状軟体物10を開放する状態を示している。 The gripping member 30 may have any structure as long as it can hold the tubular soft body 10 so that the tubular soft body 10 can be pushed into the mounting portion 20 while being swung. In this embodiment, it is composed of a pair of clampers 32, 32 which are opened and closed by a parallel open/close type air chuck mechanism 31. The solid line in FIG. 1A shows the state in which the cylindrical soft body 10 is gripped, and the phantom line shows the state in which the cylindrical soft body 10 is opened.

揺動機構40は、把持部材30で筒状軟体物10を把持したまま把持部材30と筒状軟体物10とを一緒に揺動させることができる構成であれば任意の構成を採用し得る。
この実施の形態では、揺動機構40は、揺動機構支持体41と、この揺動機構支持体41に軸42で回動可能に支持されたセクター歯車43と、このセクタ−歯車43と噛み合うラック44と、このラック44を往復動させることで前記セクター歯車43を軸42回りに回動(揺動)させるシリンダー45と、前記セクター歯車43と軸42で一体化されていてセクター歯車43と一緒に回動する把持部材支持体46とを備えている。この把持部材支持体46に前記把持部材30が取り付けられている。
したがって、シリンダー45の作動でラック44が往復動すると、セクター歯車43、把持部材支持体46、把持部材30、および筒状軟体物10が一緒になって、軸42回りに回動する。
The swinging mechanism 40 may employ any configuration as long as the gripping member 30 and the cylindrical soft body 10 can be rocked together while the cylindrical soft body 10 is gripped by the gripping member 30.
In this embodiment, the rocking mechanism 40 meshes with the rocking mechanism support 41, the sector gear 43 rotatably supported by the rocking mechanism support 41 on a shaft 42, and the sector-gear 43. A rack 44, a cylinder 45 that reciprocates the rack 44 to rotate (swing) the sector gear 43 around a shaft 42, and a sector gear 43 integrated with the sector gear 43 and the shaft 42. And a gripping member support 46 that rotates together. The grip member 30 is attached to the grip member support 46.
Therefore, when the rack 44 reciprocates due to the operation of the cylinder 45, the sector gear 43, the grip member support 46, the grip member 30, and the cylindrical soft body 10 together rotate about the shaft 42.

なお、軸42は揺動機構支持体41に対して回動可能に支持され、セクター歯車43と把持部材支持体46は軸42に対して回動不能に取り付けられている。図示のものは、セクター歯車43と把持部材支持体46とが軸42で一体化されているが、軸42によってではなく、把持部材支持体46をセクター歯車43に対して直接一体的に構成することもできる。
シリンダ45は揺動機構支持体41に取り付けられており、そのロッド45rが前記ラック44に連結されている。
The shaft 42 is rotatably supported by the swing mechanism support 41, and the sector gear 43 and the grip member support 46 are non-rotatably attached to the shaft 42. Although the sector gear 43 and the gripping member support 46 are integrated by the shaft 42 in the illustrated example, the gripping member support 46 is directly integrated with the sector gear 43, not by the shaft 42. You can also
The cylinder 45 is attached to the swing mechanism support 41, and its rod 45r is connected to the rack 44.

移動機構50は、揺動機構40により揺動する把持部材30および筒状軟体物10を、取付部20に向けて移動させることができる構成であれば任意の構成を採用し得る。
この実施の形態では、移動機構50は、取付部42の軸線A2方向に関し、前記揺動機構支持体41自体を取付部42の方向に進退動させるシリンダ51を備えている。
The moving mechanism 50 may have any structure as long as it can move the gripping member 30 and the cylindrical soft object 10 which are rocked by the rocking mechanism 40 toward the mounting portion 20.
In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 50 includes a cylinder 51 that moves the swinging mechanism support body 41 itself in the direction of the mounting portion 42 in the direction of the axis A2 of the mounting portion 42.

シリンダ51はこの筒状軟体物取付装置1のフレーム1Fに取り付けられており、そのロッド51rが揺動機構支持体41に連結されている。
したがって、シリンダー50の作動で揺動機構支持体41が取付部42の方向に進退動すると、揺動機構支持体41に取り付けられている揺動機構40全体が把持部材30および筒状軟体物10と一緒に、取付部42の方向に進退動する(図2参照)。
The cylinder 51 is attached to the frame 1F of the tubular soft body attachment device 1, and its rod 51r is connected to the swing mechanism support body 41.
Therefore, when the rocking mechanism support 41 is moved back and forth in the direction of the mounting portion 42 by the operation of the cylinder 50, the entire rocking mechanism 40 mounted on the rocking mechanism support 41 is held by the grip member 30 and the cylindrical soft object 10. Along with, move back and forth in the direction of the mounting portion 42 (see FIG. 2).

52、52は揺動機構支持体41の両側に取り付けられたガイドブロック、53はガイドブロック52を案内するガイドロッドである。ガイドロッド52は前記フレーム1Fに取り付けられている。54はロッド51rと揺動機構支持体41との連結部である。 Reference numerals 52 and 52 are guide blocks attached to both sides of the swing mechanism support body 41, and 53 is a guide rod for guiding the guide block 52. The guide rod 52 is attached to the frame 1F. Reference numeral 54 is a connecting portion between the rod 51r and the swing mechanism support 41.

図1に示すように、この実施の形態の取付部20は樹脂製のパイプであり、先端21に、本体部23より径が大きい拡径部21cと、この拡径部21cにR形状21rを介して連続する縮径部21bとを有している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting portion 20 of this embodiment is a resin pipe, and a distal end 21 is provided with an enlarged diameter portion 21c having a diameter larger than that of the main body portion 23, and an R shape 21r is formed on the enlarged diameter portion 21c. It has a diameter-reduced portion 21b which is continuous with the interposition of.

このように構成すると、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を、取付部20の先端21に対して揺動させやすくなる。したがって、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20に取り付けやすくなる。 With this configuration, the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 can be easily swung with respect to the tip 21 of the mounting portion 20. Therefore, it becomes easy to attach the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 to the attachment portion 20.

取付部20は、保持部材60によって保持される。
保持部材60は、取付部20を確実に保持することができる構造であれば任意の構造を採用し得る。本実施の形態では、平行開閉型のエアチャック機構61で開閉する一対のクランパ62,62で構成されている。図1(a)の実線は取付部20を保持した状態を示しており、仮想線は取付部20を開放する状態を示している。
The mounting portion 20 is held by the holding member 60.
The holding member 60 may have any structure as long as it can securely hold the mounting portion 20. In the present embodiment, a pair of clampers 62, 62 that are opened and closed by a parallel open/close type air chuck mechanism 61 is used. The solid line in FIG. 1A shows the state in which the mounting portion 20 is held, and the phantom line shows the state in which the mounting portion 20 is opened.

揺動機構40は、筒状軟体物10の揺動動作中において、少なくとも、筒状軟体物10の先端部11が、該先端部11の軸線A1が取付部20の軸線A2に対して一方に傾斜する第1の傾斜位置(例えば図3(c)に傾斜角θ1で示す位置)と他方に傾斜する第2の傾斜位置(例えば図3(e)に傾斜角θ2で示す位置)とが含まれるように筒状軟体物10を揺動させる。 In the swinging mechanism 40, at least during the swinging operation of the tubular soft body 10, at least the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 has an axis A1 of the tip portion 11 with respect to an axis A2 of the mounting portion 20. A first tilt position that tilts (for example, a position indicated by a tilt angle θ1 in FIG. 3C) and a second tilt position that tilts toward the other (a position indicated by a tilt angle θ2 in FIG. 3E) are included. The cylindrical soft body 10 is swung so as to move.

また、移動機構50は、第1の傾斜位置にある筒状軟体物10の先端部11(例えば図3(c)参照)に対し第2の傾斜位置にある筒状軟体物10の先端部11(例えば図3(e)参照)の方が、取付部20に対してより移動した(進んだ)位置となるように移動させる。 In addition, the moving mechanism 50 is configured so that the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 at the second tilt position with respect to the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 at the first tilt position (see, for example, FIG. 3C). It is moved so that the position (for example, see FIG. 3E) is moved (advanced) with respect to the mounting portion 20.

そしてさらに、揺動機構40は、取付部20の軸線A2に対する前記第1の傾斜位置の傾斜角(例えばθ1)に比べて前記第2の傾斜位置の傾斜角(例えばθ2)を小さくする。 Further, the swing mechanism 40 reduces the tilt angle (for example, θ2) of the second tilt position with respect to the tilt angle (for example, θ1) of the first tilt position with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20.

このように構成すると、筒状軟体物10の先端部11が取付部20に対し取付方向へ移動するにつれて、取付部20の軸線A2に対する筒状軟体物10の先端部11の傾斜角を小さくすることができるため、移動機構50による筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作を円滑化することが可能となる。結果として、筒状軟体物10を取付部20に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。 With this configuration, as the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 moves in the mounting direction with respect to the mounting portion 20, the inclination angle of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 with respect to the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20 becomes smaller. Therefore, it is possible to smooth the pushing operation of the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 by the moving mechanism 50. As a result, the cylindrical soft body 10 can be smoothly attached to the attachment portion 20.

図3は、この実施の形態による筒状軟体物10の取付部20への取付動作の一具体例の説明図である。
この具体例では、図3(a)に示すように筒状軟体物10の先端部11を一方側および他方側への揺動を2回(計4回)行いながら筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20へ向け移動させて押し込むようにして取り付ける。その動作は揺動機構40および移動機構50によってなされる。
以下、順を追って説明する。
FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a specific example of an attaching operation of the cylindrical soft object 10 to the attaching portion 20 according to this embodiment.
In this specific example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is swung twice to one side and the other side (four times in total). The part 11 is moved toward the mounting part 20 and is pushed in to be mounted. The operation is performed by the swinging mechanism 40 and the moving mechanism 50.
Hereinafter, description will be made step by step.

(1) 把持部材30(図1参照)で筒状軟体物10を把持し、移動機構50で筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20に向けて移動させ、図3(b)に示すように、先端部11の先端面11sを取付部20の先端21に当接または近接させた状態に位置決めする。 (1) The cylindrical soft body 10 is gripped by the gripping member 30 (see FIG. 1), and the distal end portion 11 of the cylindrical soft body 10 is moved by the moving mechanism 50 toward the mounting portion 20. As shown, the tip surface 11s of the tip portion 11 is positioned so as to be in contact with or close to the tip 21 of the mounting portion 20.

(2) 図3(b)から(c)に示すように筒状軟体物10の先端部11を一方側へ傾斜角θ1まで傾斜させながら取付部20へ向けて進める。 (2) As shown in FIGS. 3B to 3C, the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is advanced toward the attachment portion 20 while being inclined to one side to the inclination angle θ1.

(3) 図3(c)から(e)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を他方側へ傾斜角θ2まで傾斜させながら取付部20へ向けて進める。
この過程で図3(d)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1と取付部20の軸線A2とが一致する状態が生じ、この状態においても移動機構50による筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作は生じているから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込みが促進される。
なお、θ2<θ1である。
(3) As shown in FIGS. 3C to 3E, the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is advanced toward the attachment portion 20 while being inclined toward the other side to the inclination angle θ2.
In this process, as shown in FIG. 3D, a state occurs in which the axis A1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft object 10 and the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20 coincide with each other. Since the pushing operation of the tip portion 11 of the soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 has occurred, the pushing of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 is promoted.
Note that θ2<θ1.

(4) 図3(e)から図4(g)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を再び一方側へ傾斜角θ3まで傾斜させながら取付部20へ向けて進める。
この過程で図3(f)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1と取付部20の軸線A2とが一致する状態が生じ、この状態においても移動機構50による筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作は生じているから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込みが促進される。
なお、θ3<θ2である。
(4) As shown in FIGS. 3(e) to 4(g), the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft object 10 is advanced toward the attachment portion 20 while being inclined again to one side to the inclination angle θ3.
In this process, as shown in FIG. 3(f), a state in which the axis A1 of the tip portion 11 of the cylindrical soft object 10 and the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20 coincide with each other, and even in this state, the cylindrical shape of the moving mechanism 50 Since the pushing operation of the tip portion 11 of the soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 has occurred, the pushing of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 is promoted.
Note that θ3<θ2.

(5) 図4(g)から図4(i)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を再び他方側へ傾斜角θ4まで傾斜させながら取付部20へ向けて進める。
この過程で図3(h)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の軸線A1と取付部20の軸線A2とが一致する状態が生じ、この状態においても移動機構50による筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作は生じているから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込みが促進される。
なお、θ4<θ3である。
(5) As shown in FIGS. 4(g) to 4(i), the tip end portion 11 of the cylindrical soft body 10 is advanced toward the attachment portion 20 while being inclined again to the other side to the inclination angle θ4.
In this process, as shown in FIG. 3(h), a state in which the axis A1 of the tip portion 11 of the cylindrical soft object 10 and the axis A2 of the mounting portion 20 coincide with each other, and even in this state, the cylindrical shape by the moving mechanism 50 is changed. Since the pushing operation of the tip portion 11 of the soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 has occurred, the pushing of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 is promoted.
Note that θ4<θ3.

(6) 図4(i)から(j)に示すように、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を中立位置(軸線A1とA2とが一致する位置)まで戻しながら取付部20へ向けて進めることによって、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への取付動作が終了する。
取付動作が終了した時点での装置1の状態を図2に示す。
(6) As shown in FIGS. 4(i) to 4(j), the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is advanced toward the attachment portion 20 while being returned to the neutral position (the position where the axes A1 and A2 coincide). As a result, the attaching operation of the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 to the attaching portion 20 is completed.
The state of the device 1 at the time when the attaching operation is completed is shown in FIG.

なお、以上のような動作を含め、この筒状軟体物取付装置1の動作は、図示しない制御部によって制御される。
また、図3,図4に示した例では、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の一方側および他方側への揺動を各2としたが、その回数は、一方側一回以上、他方側一回以上であれば、筒状軟体物10の形状や材質、および取付部20の形状や材質に応じて適宜設定できる。
In addition, the operation of the cylindrical soft object mounting device 1 including the above-described operation is controlled by a control unit (not shown).
Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the swinging of the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 to one side and the other side is set to 2, but the number of times is one or more on one side and the other on the other side. If it is once or more on the side, it can be appropriately set according to the shape and material of the cylindrical soft body 10 and the shape and material of the mounting portion 20.

図1(b)に示すように、この筒状軟体物取付装置1は、筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20の先端21に当接させる前に、筒状軟体物10の先端部11に潤滑水Wを塗布する塗布ノズル1nを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1( b ), the tubular soft body attachment device 1 has a distal end of the tubular soft body 10 before the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is brought into contact with the distal end 21 of the attachment portion 20. The portion 11 is provided with a coating nozzle 1n for coating the lubricating water W.

このように構成すると、筒状軟体物10の先端部11に潤滑水Wが塗布されることで、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作を円滑化することが可能となる。結果として、筒状軟体物10を取付部20に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。 According to this structure, the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 is coated with the lubricating water W, so that the pushing operation of the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 can be facilitated. Becomes As a result, it becomes possible to smoothly attach the cylindrical soft body 10 to the attachment portion 20.

図1(b)に示すように、把持部材30は、筒状軟体物10の先端面11sから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の内径D1の1.5倍以上、4倍以下の部位を把持する構成とすることが望ましい。つまり、筒状軟体物10の先端面11sから把持位置までの長さL1は内径D1の1.5倍以上、4倍以下とするのが望ましい。
このように構成すると、筒状軟体物10を取付部20により円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。
なお、先端部11の内径D1は、通常、15〜25.8mmである。この場合、取付部20の拡径部21cの最大外径(R形状21r部分の外径)D2は15.5〜26mm、本体部23の外径D3は14〜25mmである。各径は、D3<D1<D2が成立するように設定される。
As shown in FIG. 1( b ), the grip member 30 is a portion from the tip surface 11 s of the tubular soft body 10 to 1.5 times or more and 4 times or less of the inner diameter D<b>1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10. It is desirable to have a configuration for gripping. That is, it is desirable that the length L1 from the tip end surface 11s of the cylindrical soft object 10 to the gripping position be 1.5 times or more and 4 times or less of the inner diameter D1.
With this structure, the cylindrical soft object 10 can be smoothly attached by the attaching portion 20.
The inner diameter D1 of the tip portion 11 is usually 15 to 25.8 mm. In this case, the maximum outer diameter (outer diameter of the R shape 21r portion) D2 of the expanded diameter portion 21c of the mounting portion 20 is 15.5 to 26 mm, and the outer diameter D3 of the main body portion 23 is 14 to 25 mm. Each diameter is set so that D3<D1<D2 is satisfied.

把持部材30による把持位置を、筒状軟体物10の先端面11sから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の内径D1の1.5倍未満とすると、筒状軟体物10の把持部から先端面11sまでの部分の自由度(撓りやすさ)が低くなって筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への円滑な押し込み動作が困難になるおそれがある。一方、把持部材30による把持位置を、筒状軟体物10の先端面11sから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の内径D1の4倍超とすると、筒状軟体物10の把持部から先端面11sまでの部分は、自由度(撓りやすさ)が高くなりすぎて座屈を生じるおそれが高くなる。座屈が生じると筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への円滑な押し込み動作が困難になる。 Assuming that the gripping position by the gripping member 30 is less than 1.5 times the inner diameter D1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 from the tip surface 11s of the tubular soft body 10, the tip of the tubular soft body 10 is grasped. The degree of freedom (flexibility) of the portion up to the surface 11s may be reduced, and it may be difficult to smoothly push the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20. On the other hand, when the gripping position by the gripping member 30 is more than 4 times the inner diameter D1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 from the tip surface 11s of the tubular soft body 10, the tip of the tubular soft body 10 is grasped. In the portion up to the surface 11s, the degree of freedom (flexibility) becomes too high, and buckling is likely to occur. When the buckling occurs, it is difficult to smoothly push the distal end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20.

これに対し、把持部材30の把持位置を、筒状軟体物10の先端面11sから、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の内径D1の1.5倍以上、4倍以下の部位とすることで、先端部11の自由度を確保しながら座屈も生じ難くすることができる。したがって、筒状軟体物10の先端部11の取付部20への押し込み動作を円滑化することが可能となる。結果として、筒状軟体物10を取付部20に円滑に取り付けることが可能となる。 On the other hand, the gripping position of the gripping member 30 is set to be a portion that is 1.5 times or more and 4 times or less of the inner diameter D1 of the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 from the tip surface 11s of the tubular soft body 10. Therefore, it is possible to prevent buckling from occurring while ensuring the degree of freedom of the tip portion 11. Therefore, the pushing operation of the tip end portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 into the mounting portion 20 can be facilitated. As a result, the cylindrical soft body 10 can be smoothly attached to the attachment portion 20.

以上、本発明の実施の形態について説明したが、本発明は上記の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨の範囲内において適宜変形実施可能である。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately modified and implemented within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

例えば、揺動機構40は、前述したセクタ−歯車43とラック44とによる機構に代えて、図5に示すように、シリンダ45で進退動される溝カム70と、この溝カム70のカム溝71と係合するカムフォロアであるピン72とで構成することもできる。ピン72は把持部材支持体46に取り付けられている。 For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the swing mechanism 40 is replaced with the above-described mechanism including the sector-gear 43 and the rack 44, and a groove cam 70 that is moved forward and backward by a cylinder 45, and a cam groove of the groove cam 70. The pin 72 may be a cam follower engaging with the pin 71. The pin 72 is attached to the grip member support 46.

また、例えば図6に示すように、取付部20を複数(図示のものは3つ)有する集合管25の各取付部20に筒状軟体物10を取り付ける場合には、同図に示すように、回転軸33の先端部に開閉可能な3本指状のチャック34を有するロボットハンド35で集合管25を把持し、各取付部20を順次筒状軟体物10に対向させるように矢印R方向へ間欠回転させて、各取付部20に筒状軟体物10を取り付けるようにすることもできる。
この場合、保持部材60は取付部20の位置決め部材としての役割も果たす。
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tubular soft object 10 is attached to each attachment portion 20 of the collecting pipe 25 having a plurality of attachment portions 20 (three shown in the figure), as shown in FIG. The direction of the arrow R is such that the collecting pipe 25 is gripped by the robot hand 35 having a three-finger-shaped chuck 34 that can be opened and closed at the tip of the rotary shaft 33, and the mounting portions 20 are sequentially opposed to the cylindrical soft object 10. The cylindrical soft body 10 can be attached to each attachment portion 20 by intermittently rotating.
In this case, the holding member 60 also serves as a positioning member for the mounting portion 20.

図6において、80は締付バンドである。締付バンド80は、取付部20に取り付けられた筒状軟体物10の先端部11を取付部20に対して締め付けるためのものである。81は締付ボルトである。92,92は締付バンド80の位置決め部材である。位置決め部材92,92は、クランパ62,62と同様に平行開閉型のエアチャック機構で開閉可能に構成されている。位置決め部材92,92は、クランパ62,62上で、取付部20の周りに、締付バンド80の中心80aを取付部の中心20aに対して偏心させた状態で位置決めする。
このように構成すると、締付ボルト81による締付動作を円滑に行うことができる。
In FIG. 6, 80 is a tightening band. The tightening band 80 is for tightening the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft body 10 mounted on the mounting portion 20 to the mounting portion 20. 81 is a tightening bolt. Reference numerals 92 and 92 are positioning members for the tightening band 80. The positioning members 92, 92 are configured to be openable/closable by a parallel opening/closing type air chuck mechanism like the clampers 62, 62. The positioning members 92, 92 perform positioning on the clampers 62, 62 around the mounting portion 20 with the center 80a of the tightening band 80 eccentric to the center 20a of the mounting portion.
With this structure, the tightening operation by the tightening bolt 81 can be smoothly performed.

また、上記の実施形態においては、軸A2に対して二次元で軸A1を揺動させる、すなわち、図3(c)で示すように取付部20の先端21より下方に筒状軟体物の先端部11の一部(紙面右端)を位置させた状態で筒状軟体物の先端部11を反対側(紙面左側)に揺動させることで、一端をひっかけたまま図(d)で示すように筒状軟体物の先端部11の端部全周を取付部先端21より下方に位置させるようにしたが、軸A2に対して三次元で軸A1を揺動させる、即ち、軸A2に対して軸A1を傾斜させつつ回転させるように揺動させて筒状軟体物の先端部11の端部全周を取付部先端21より下方に位置させるようにすることもできる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the shaft A1 is two-dimensionally swung with respect to the shaft A2, that is, the tip of the tubular soft body is located below the tip 21 of the mounting portion 20 as shown in FIG. 3C. By swinging the tip portion 11 of the tubular soft material to the opposite side (left side of the paper) with a part of the portion 11 (right end of the paper surface) being positioned, as shown in FIG.
