Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the dispersion in the quantities of oiling of individual parts, by oiling the individual parts with a robot from a flat tray with a transmitted illumination which transmits light, at the specific positions of the parts finding the positions and angles of the parts with the utilization of an image processing device. CONSTITUTION:Parts (minute wheels) 3 placed on the tray 1 of an oiling device is input by an image processing device 6. The positions and angles of the input parts 3 are found and fed to a robot 4, and oiling is executed by an oiling needle 5 at the specific positions of the parts 3. Consequently, the oil quantity for the individual parts 3 is oiled for a fixed time by the robot 4 and the quantity thereof is held constant without dispersion.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application 1] This invention relates to a lubricating device for lubricating five parts at predetermined positions.

[Summary of the Invention J The present invention uses an image processing device to apply oil to a predetermined position of a part stored in a predetermined position.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a method has been known in which a large number of parts 1 are housed in predetermined positions on a tray 2, and each part is manually lubricated one by one.

[Problem to be solved by the invention 1 However, conventional lubrication is performed on part 1 on tray 2.

Because the oil was applied manually, there were variations in the amount of oil applied to the specified positions of the parts.

Therefore, in order to solve these conventional drawbacks, the present invention aims to determine the position and angle of a part and apply oil to a predetermined position for a certain period of time using a robot.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a plurality of parts arranged in a row and housed in a predetermined position. The parts are input using an image processing device, and the robot lubricates the parts at the specified locations.

[Effect]

The components on the tray of the lubrication device configured as described above are input to the image processing device, the position angle of the input components is determined, and the robot sends the parts to a predetermined position to lubricate the parts. The amount of lubrication is kept constant because the robot lubricates over a certain period of time.

[Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In FIG. 1, a flat tray L that transmits light is configured to have a transmitted illumination 2 and a component 3 (divider wheel) on the tray inputted with a camera 7 attached to an image processing device 6, and a robot 4 lubricates the component. .

In FIG. 1, a camera 7 of an image processing device 6 detects a component 3 (divider wheel) on a tray 2 with a flat plate-like transmissive illumination that transmits light.
Enter the lubrication position 8 using the lubrication needle 5 at the tip of the robot 4.
Apply oil to position 8 for a certain period of time.

In the embodiments described above, the amount of oil applied to a predetermined position of the part 3 (minute wheel) is applied by the robot for a certain period of time, so that the amount of oil on each part becomes constant and there is no variation.

Effects of the Invention 1 As explained above, this invention inputs a part on a light-transmitting flat tray with transmitted illumination through the camera of an image processing device, transmits the input position and angle to the robot, and then displays the part. It has a structure in which oil is applied to a predetermined position, and a robot applies oil to each part over a certain period of time, eliminating variations in the amount of oil and eliminating the need for human labor, which has the effect of reducing costs.
