JPH06199360A - Holding container using plate - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To hold a work regardless of the shape of the other parts as long as the work has flat surfaces in parallel by holding the work by pinching it between two plates. CONSTITUTION:A plate 6 is supported by an elastic piece 4, and the plate 6 is supported to a cylinder 1 by the elastic piece 4. At the center of the plate 6, a through pit 8 to draw a work W by vacuum is provided. In the cylinder 1, the plate 6 supports the work W by pushing the work W to each other. When the work W is taken out, a vacuum suction tool is put on the plate 6 to draw the plate 6 by vacuum, and the plate 6 is pulled out from the cylinder 1. By cutting the vacuum, the work W alone can be removed. Even when the vacuum is cut, the plate 6 does not drop because the elastic piece 4 is firmly in contact with the inside of the protuberance of the vacuum suction tool, and a frictional force works. This container is used as a linked container by linking the cylinder 1 in the lateral direction. Also, the works which are aligned by a vibration-aligning machine can be transferred as a batch along the aggregate of the vacuum suction tool.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holding container for holding work in an aligned state in order to supply a work to an automatic machine tool.

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant assigns a patent application number of Hei 2-24814.
I have applied for 2 etc. These held the work with a sponge so that it could accommodate any shape of work.

[0002]

There have been cases where setup (manufacturing and adjusting jigs) is required for taking in and out the work.

[Means for Solving the Problem] A work W is sandwiched and held between two plates. Then, put the plate in and out.

[0003]

Embodiment 4 is an elastic piece for supporting the plate 6. 5 is a circular arc portion that is made into a straight line and elastically bent. 7 is a rubber sheet to prevent slipping. Numeral 8 is a small through hole for adsorbing the work by vacuum. Reference numeral 9 is a convex portion for preventing the elastic piece 4 from spreading and pushing it forward. 10 is a vacuum suction tool. 11 is a rubber ring for protecting the vacuum. 1 and 2, the plate 6 presses the works to support the works W. To take out the work W, apply the vacuum suction tool 10 as shown in FIGS.
Vacuum suction and pull out as shown in FIG. By turning off the vacuum, only the work W can be removed. Even if the vacuum is cut off, the elastic piece 4 of the plate 6 strongly contacts the inside of the tip of the convex portion 9 as shown in FIG. 6, and the friction force acts to prevent the plate 6 from falling.
In this container, the cylinder 1 is laterally connected with a tape (not shown) to be used as a connecting container. The present invention can also be used as a pallet as shown in FIG. The pallet 3 can be manufactured by slicing an extruded aluminum material. 12 is a hole for weight reduction. It is possible to transfer the works aligned by a vibration aligner (not shown) using the assembly 13 of the vacuum suction tools 10 at a time.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The connection container can hold a work having parallel planes regardless of the shape of other parts. -The held work can be taken out regardless of the shape and supplied in a correct posture.

Claims (1)

[Claims] At least two plates are arranged in the hole 2 inside the cylinder 1 or in the holes 2 provided in the pallet 3 in a large number, and the core plate elastically contacts the inner surface of the hole 2 to elastically sandwich the work W. A holding container using a plate, which is characterized by holding.
