Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily seize the inputted content, and prevent the occurrence of a malfunction by providing an operation input key to operate a robot, a display means to display the content inputted to the operation input key and a voice output means to output the inputted content by a voice. SOLUTION: In a generating mode, when a ten key 16 and an operation input key 18 are inputted, not only its content is displayed on a display unit 20 but also this content is pronounced as a sound from a loudspeaker 24. That is, when the ten key 16 or the like is turned on, a control part 26 for an operation part reads out its content from a voice memory 28 for a key, and outputs it from the loudspeaker 24. For example, when 'TAG' is inputted by the input key 18 by operating '001' by the ten key 16, this content is displayed on the display unit 20, and 'Tag Zero Zero One' is pronounced from the loudspeaker 24. Therefore, even in a factory and a job site or the like where an image screen is difficult to see, its operation content can be easily seized by this voice.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operating device for operating a robot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when operating a robot, a coordinate position, which is an operation position of the robot, a program for operation, and the like, are entered on a numeric keypad or an operation input key of an operation device. Was entered by. And the contents entered by these keys are
A display was made on a liquid crystal display device, that is, a display device which is a liquid crystal display device, and the contents could be confirmed by the operator.

[0003] However, in a factory, a site, or the like, the contents displayed on the display device are difficult to confirm, and there are cases where the key is erroneously input but cannot be recognized.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a robot operating device capable of easily discriminating keys input for operation.

[0005]

An operation device for a robot according to the present invention is an operation device for operating a robot,
It has an operation input key for operating the robot, display means for displaying the content input to the operation input key, and voice output means for outputting the content input to the operation input key in voice. .

[0006]

[Operation] In the above robot operation device, not only the content input to the operation input key is displayed by the display means, but also the content is output by the voice output means in voice.
Therefore, the operation content can be easily recognized.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an operating unit of the robot,
For example, a linearly movable robot that moves a moving member for performing an operation linearly by a motor corresponds to this.

Reference numeral 12 is a main control unit for controlling the operation unit 10 of the robot. When the operation content is input from the operation unit 14 or the voice input device 30 described later, the main control unit 12 operates the operation unit 1 so that the corresponding operation can be performed.
An instruction is issued for 0. For example, when a coordinate value is input from the operation unit, the operation unit 10
Drive the motor.

(Operation unit 14) First, the operation unit 1 of the robot
The operation unit 14 for operating 0 using keys will be described.

The operating section 14 is formed in the size of a teaching pendant so that it can be held in the operator's hand. Hereinafter, the contents of the operation unit 14 will be described.

The operation unit 14 is provided with numeric keys 16 for inputting numerical values and operation input keys 18 for operating the robot. In addition, an LCD display 20, which is a liquid crystal display device, for displaying the contents thereof is provided near the ten keys 16 and the operation input keys 18.

The operation unit 14 is provided with a sound generation key 22 and a speaker 24.

A display 20, a sound generation key 22,
The ten keys 16, the operation input keys 18, and the speaker 24 are connected to the operation unit control unit 26. The operation unit control unit 26 has a voice memory 28 which stores data for generating the contents of the ten keys 16 and the operation input keys 18 by voice.

Hereinafter, the operation state of the operation unit 14 will be described.

(1) Turn on the sound generation key 22 and
The case where the sound generation mode is set will be described.

In the voice generation mode, when the ten key 16 or the operation input key 18 is input, the content is displayed on the display 20.
, And the content is generated from the speaker 24 as sound. That is, when the numeric keypad 16 or the like is turned on, the control unit control unit 26 reads out the contents from the audio memory 28 and outputs the contents from the speaker 24.

For example, when "001" is inputted by the ten keys 16 and "TAG" is inputted by the operation input key 18, the contents are displayed on the display 20, and "tag zero zero" is uttered from the speaker 24.

Thus, even in a factory or a site where the screen of the display 20 is difficult to see, the operation contents can be easily grasped by the voice.

If the generation of the voice is unnecessary,
When the sound generation key 22 is turned on, the sound generation mode is released.

(2) Without turning on the sound generation key 22,
When the voice generation mode is not entered, the operation content input by the ten keys 16 or the like is displayed only on the display 20 in the same manner as usual.

(Voice Input Device 30) Next, the voice input device 30 for operating the robot operating unit 10 by voice will be described.

The voice input device 30 includes a microphone 32 for inputting voice, a voice recognition unit 34, and a voice input device control unit 36.

The voice recognition unit 34 is a part that recognizes voice input by the microphone 32 and recognizes what kind of operation is currently requested.

The voice input device control unit 36 has a function of transmitting the operation content recognized by the voice recognition unit 34 to the main control unit 12.

The operation of the voice input device 30 will be described below.

When the operator inputs the operation contents of the robot, for example, “Step Zero Tag Zero Zero” into the microphone 32, the voice recognition unit 34 recognizes it as “TAG001 at Step 0001” and inputs the voice. This is transmitted to the device control unit 36. The voice input device control unit 36 transmits the content to the main control unit 12.

If the voice recognition unit 34 cannot recognize the content of the voice, an error is displayed on the display unit 20 of the operation unit 14 or “the voice content could not be recognized” from the speaker 24. And generate the content.

When such a voice input device 30 is provided,
It is possible to issue an instruction to the robot only by voice without operating a key as in the related art.

[0030]

As described above, according to the robot operating device of the present invention, since the operation contents can be recognized by voice, the contents can be easily grasped and no malfunction occurs.
