In addition, a resin is used as the sub member 19, and the main member 18 is formed into a plate shape on which a component is placed, is inserted into the sub member 19, and the carrier 17 is formed by molding.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the positioning pin 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 18b of the carrier 17 to position the carrier 17 as shown in the following illustrated embodiment. In the component transfer device described above, the main member 18 is projected from the sub member 19, and the positioning hole 18b is provided in the protruding portion 18a.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of carriers 17 are arranged in order on the linear conveying means, the parts 20 are placed on the main members 18 of these carriers 17, and the linear conveying means is driven to drive the carrier. 17 is moved and the part 20 is conveyed.

According to the second aspect, when the carrier 17 is moved, the positioning pin 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 18b of the main member 18 outside the sub member 19 to position the carrier 17.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a component carrying device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.

Reference numeral 10 in the drawing is a base portion. The base portion 10 is provided with a linear transport groove 11. The conveying groove 11 has stepped portions 11a on both upper sides, and positioning portions 10a for a carrier 12, which will be described later, are provided at appropriate intervals in the length direction of arrow B in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the position determining portion 10a is provided with a pin hole 15 in which a positioning pin 13 is provided so as to be retractable.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, two conveyor belts 14, 14 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the bottom of the conveyor groove 11, and are wound between pulleys (not shown).

A carrier 17 is placed on the conveyor belts 14. The carrier 17 is formed by molding a main member 18 and a sub member 19 into which the main member 18 is inserted. The main member 18 is formed in a plate shape using a resin containing metal and glass. A set hole (not shown) for positioning the component 20 is provided at the center of the main member 18. Projecting portions 18a are provided on both left and right sides of the main member 18 so as to project outward from the sub-member 19, and positioning holes 18b for the carrier 17 are provided in the projecting portions 18a.

On the other hand, the sub member 19 is made of resin and has an upper portion 19 a formed on the upper side of the main member 18 and a lower portion 19 b formed on the lower side of the main member 18. The upper portion 19a is provided on the upper surface of the main member 18 in a mesh shape, and the lower portion 19b is provided on the lower surface of the main member 18 in a frame shape.

Then, the component 20 is placed on the center of the main member 18 on the carrier 17 described above, and the component 20 is inserted into a set hole (not shown) for positioning. Then, the pulleys are driven to rotationally drive the transport belts 14 in the direction of arrow B to move the carrier 17 to the positioning portion 10a. At this time, the upper portion 19a of the sub member 19 prevents the component 20 from falling, and the lower portion 19b regulates the movement of the carrier 17 in the direction perpendicular to the conveying groove 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the positioning portion 10a aligns the positioning hole 18b with the positioning pin 13 to stop the carrier 17. Then, the positioning pin 13 is pushed up and the pin tip 13a is inserted into the positioning hole 18b as shown in FIG. 4, and the carrier 17 is lifted and accurately positioned.

Then, other parts are assembled to the part 20, processed, and the part 20 is measured. After these operations are completed, the positioning pin 13 is lowered to return the carrier 17 to the state shown in FIG. 3, the pulley is driven again, and the conveyor belts 14 and 14 are rotationally driven to convey the next carrier to the positioning portion. . Then, the same procedure as described above is repeated.

In the above-described embodiment, the component 20 is inserted into the set hole (not shown) of the main member 18 for positioning. However, as shown in FIG. 5, a set pin 18c may be erected on the main member 18 and the set pin 18c may be used to position the component 20.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, according to this invention, the following effects can be obtained. Since the plate-shaped main member on which the parts are placed is made of metal or resin containing glass, high accuracy of the carrier can be secured without increasing the cost. Since the sub member is made of resin, the weight of the entire carrier can be reduced and high-speed transportation becomes possible. Since the complicated shape processing is performed by using the auxiliary member, the processing can be facilitated and the cost can be reduced.

According to the second aspect, since the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole of the main member on the outer side of the sub member to position the carrier, the stroke of the positioning pin can be shortened, and the carrier can be shortened. The positioning time with respect to can be minimized.
