【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a product handling apparatus A according to the present invention includes a product handling chuck 1 for handling a product B, a liner handling chuck 2 for handling a liner C, and a product handling chuck 1. It is composed of a (robot) arm D for mounting and holding.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the product handling chuck 1 includes a handling chuck 11 for directly gripping a product and a paper handling chuck 2, and a driving unit for operating the handling chuck 11. 12 and is attached to the tip of the (robot) arm D.

The handling chuck 11 is composed of a chuck portion 11a for gripping the paper handling chuck 2, and a chuck claw 11b for gripping the product B. The chuck portion 11a has two substantially parallel block-shaped members 111a and 111a, which are vertically movable in opposite directions to each other so as to open and close horizontally, so as to open and close. 12a and 12a are connected to each other, and chuck claws 11b formed in a flat plate shape are integrally attached to the outer surfaces of the two left and right members 111a and 111a in a hanging shape. Reference numeral 11c in the drawing denotes an engaging concave portion that engages with an engaging convex portion 21a formed on the chucked portion 21 of the paper handling chuck 2.

The air suction port 21b of the paper handling chuck 2 is provided on the inner surface of the chuck portion 11a of the handling chuck 11, more specifically, on the inner surfaces of the two members 111a and 111a that form the chuck portion 11a. An air connection port 11d, which is connected to communicate with, is formed to have an opening, and the air connection port 11d is connected to an air suction source via a hose 11e.

At this time, the air connection port 11d may be formed directly on the inner side surfaces of the two members constituting the chuck portion 11a, but the two members 111a, 111a constituting the chuck portion 11a as in the illustrated embodiment. By making it a separable block 11f, it is easy to process and manufacture the chuck part 11a itself, and at the same time, even if the chuck part 11a is replaced according to the shape and size of the product to be handled, air connection is possible. The block 11f forming the mouth 11d can be used as it is.

Further, the drive unit 12 for opening and closing the handling chuck 11 in the left-right direction, the pinions 12d, 12d are installed relative to the left and right of the rack 12c connected to the air cylinder 12b, respectively, and are engaged with each other. The two pinions 12d, 12d are engaged with the rack portions 12e, 12e of the drive arms 12a, 12a, respectively, and the vertical linear motion of the air cylinder 12b is moved to the two drive arms 12a, 12a via the rack 12c and the pinions 12d, 12d. The handling chuck 11 connected to the drive arms 12a and 12a is opened and closed in the left and right directions by converting the opening and closing operations in the opposite left and right directions. The mechanism of the drive unit 12 is not limited to that of the illustrated embodiment, and the point is that the chuck unit 11a of the handling chuck 11 can be opened and closed in the left-right direction.

The liner handling chuck 2 includes a chucked part 21 handled by the chuck part 11a of the product handling chuck 1, a plurality of suction chucks 22 for handling the liner C, and each suction chuck. A support frame 23 for supporting 22 and an air suction port 21b of the chucked portion 21 and a connecting hose 24 for connecting the suction chucks 22 to each other.

The chucked portion 21 of the paper handling chuck 2 is formed in a block shape so that it can be easily held by the chuck portion 11a of the product handling chuck 1, and an opening is formed in the chuck portion 11a of the product handling chuck 1. An air suction port 21b is formed at a position corresponding to the air connection port 11d. In the figure, 21c is an O-ring for increasing the airtightness with the air connection port 11d.

The suction chuck 22 is formed into a substantially trumpet shape using a member having flexibility and elasticity so that the paper C can be surely suction-handled. Mount one or more downwards, depending on size and need.

When handling the backing sheet C instead of handling the product B, if the chucked portion 21 of the backing sheet handling chuck 2 is sandwiched by the chuck portions 11a of the product handling chuck 1, the product The air connection port 11d formed in the chuck portion 11a of the handling chuck 1 is connected to the air suction port 21b formed in the chucked portion 21 of the paper handling chuck 2 in a communicating manner. When the sheet is moved onto the sheet C and the air suction source is operated, the sheet C is suction-handled by each suction chuck 22. After that, the air of the air suction source is stopped, the paper C is placed in the pallet E, etc., the paper handling chuck 2 is returned to its original position, and the chucked portion 21 of the paper handling chuck 2 is removed. Release from the chuck part 11a of the product handling chuck 1.

[Effect of device]

 Since the product handling device of the present invention handles the laying paper handling chuck by using the handing chuck for handling the product, the operation of handling the product and the operation of holding the laying paper handling chuck and handling the product. Can be performed in a series of continuous operations, so that it is not necessary to switch the product handling chuck and the paper handling chuck each time. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the time loss associated with holding the backing paper handling chuck and to carry out product handling work with good productivity.

Further, according to the product handling device of the second aspect of the present invention, when the chucked part of the product handling chuck is handheld by the chuck part of the product handling chuck, the air connection port and the cover of the product handling chuck are covered. Since the air suction port of the paper handling chuck is automatically connected to each other, in addition to the above effects, the suction chuck of the paper handling chuck and the air supply source can be connected easily, quickly and surely. .
