経路補間方法が提案されている。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, robots have been used in various work sites. In such a robot, for example, a work tool is mounted on a wrist flange at the tip of an articulated arm, and the tip of the tool is moved along a desired movement path (trajectory) in accordance with the work content. . Therefore, work quality improvement,
In order to improve the reliability, it is important to pursue the accuracy and stability of the movement of the tip of the tool. A moving path of the tip (control point) of the tool is given in advance by a plurality of teaching points, and when a simple linear movement is performed from one teaching point to the next teaching point, a linear path connecting the teaching points is provided. Is obtained by interpolation calculation between teaching points. However, if there is a bent corner in the middle of the movement path indicated by a plurality of teaching points, an excessive impact will be applied to each joint of the arm when trying to pass the corner in the same way as a straight path. Such a problem arises. So, conventionally,
If there is a bent corner part of the movement path indicated by multiple teaching points, decelerate as you approach the corner part, stop at the corner point, change the direction of travel, accelerate after moving to the normal moving speed Path interpolation that suppresses the effect of impact when passing through a corner by returning or replacing the area that requires acceleration / deceleration on two straight paths that form the corner with a curved path such as a smooth arc A method has been proposed.

ットの経路補間方法を提供することである。However, in the above-described conventional path interpolation method, when the acceleration / deceleration and the temporary stop are executed when the vehicle passes through the corner, the moving speed of the control point greatly changes near the corner. Therefore, for example, when the operation performed by the robot is sealing in which a sealant is applied, there is a problem that the work quality tends to vary, such as an increase in the amount of the sealant attached near the corner. If you want to replace the travel route with a curve,
The originally required angular teaching path cannot be faithfully reproduced, causing problems such as a decrease in movement accuracy. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when there is a bent corner portion in the movement path of the control point of the robot, while controlling the impact on each joint axis of the robot, Is to provide a path interpolation method for a robot that can pass through a corner portion at high speed without acceleration / deceleration while maintaining a linear operation.

る。According to the present invention, there is provided a path interpolation method for a robot, wherein a flange surface of a wrist flange on which a tool is mounted is formed by a teaching point group indicating a movement path of a control point at a tip end of the tool. The wrist flange is rotatably supported by a flange drive shaft whose center axis is set to be parallel to the plane and whose central axis is orthogonal to the teaching plane, and the tool is configured such that the control point is the center axis of the flange drive shaft. A robot provided on the flange surface so as to have an offset distance with respect to the flange surface, wherein the intersection of the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane is located substantially on a line connecting the teaching points, and Three or more teaching points are provided so that the direction from the intersection between the center axis of the drive shaft and the teaching plane to the control point is substantially the moving direction of the control point, and the control point is indicated by the teaching point. In route interpolation method of a robot for performing route interpolated to a movement path proceeds by linear operations, given the teaching points P1, P2, P3 of the 3-point, the teaching point P1
During the movement operation from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P2, when the intersection of the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane is closer to the teaching point P2 than the reference distance L1 from the teaching point P2, The intersection point between the center axis and the teaching plane is P4, the distance from the teaching point P2 to the intersection point P4 is Le, and the distance Le from the teaching point P2 on the straight line from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P3.
Is defined as P5, and thereafter, until the control point passes a point P5 on a straight line from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P3, the intersection between the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane is the intersection P4, the teaching point The wrist flange is rotationally driven so as to move on an arc passing through points P2 and P5, and the path interpolation is performed so that the control point linearly moves on the path taught by the control point. According to the above configuration, the three teaching points P1, P2, P3
The movement path of the control point of the robot given by
If 2 is a polygonal line path that is a corner, the teaching point P1
During the movement from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P2, if the intersection between the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane is closer to the teaching point P2 than the point at the reference distance L1 from the teaching point P2, then the control point is changed to the teaching point. Until passing a point P5 on a straight line from P2 to the teaching point P3, the intersection between the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane moves on an arc passing through the intersection P4, the teaching point P2, and the point P5. Then, the wrist flange is driven to rotate, so that the control point moves linearly on the taught path. Therefore, the connection point itself can faithfully trace the straight line path given by the teaching point. Since the wrist flange, which is a joint, performs a smooth rotation operation, a steep speed fluctuation does not occur with respect to the basic axis (the three axes of the base that controls the position) of the robot when passing through the corner portion. Therefore, a large impact load such as each joint axis of the robot does not act, and the vibration caused by the effect of the impact load can be suppressed, and the corner point can be passed in a linear motion.

1, P2, and P3, and during the movement operation from the teaching point P1 to the teaching point P2, the center axis C1 of the flange drive shaft 13
Is the reference distance L1 from the teaching point P2
Is closer to the teaching point P2 than the point, the intersection point between the center axis C1 of the flange drive shaft 13 and the teaching plane 11 is defined as P.

When the intersection of the axis C1 and the teaching plane 11 approaches the teaching point P2 from the teaching point P2 more than the reference distance L1, the control point 8 passes through a point P5 on a straight line from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P3.

Makes a linear motion on the taught path. Therefore, the connection point itself can faithfully trace the straight line path given by the teaching point. Since the wrist flange 5, which is a joint, performs a smooth rotation operation, when passing through a corner portion, a steep speed fluctuation does not occur with respect to the basic axis (the three axes of the base that controls the position) of the robot. Therefore, a large impact load such as each joint axis of the robot does not act, and the generation of vibration due to the impact load can be suppressed, and the corner point can be passed in a linear motion.

If 2 is a polygonal line path that is a corner, the teaching point P1
During the movement from the teaching point P2 to the teaching point P2, if the intersection between the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane is closer to the teaching point P2 than the point at the reference distance L1 from the teaching point P2, then the control point is changed to the teaching point. Until passing through a point P5 on a straight line from P2 to the teaching point P3, the intersection between the center axis of the flange drive shaft and the teaching plane moves on an arc passing through the intersection P4, the teaching point P2, and the point P5. Then, the wrist flange is driven to rotate, so that the control point moves linearly on the taught path. Therefore, the connection point itself can faithfully trace the straight line path given by the teaching point. Since the wrist flange, which is a joint, performs a smooth rotation operation, a steep speed fluctuation does not occur with respect to the basic axis (the three axes of the base that controls the position) of the robot when passing through the corner portion. Therefore, a large impact load such as each joint axis of the robot does not act, and the vibration caused by the effect of the impact load can be suppressed, and the corner point can be passed in a linear motion. Therefore, it is possible to pass the corner portion at high speed without acceleration / deceleration while suppressing the impact on each joint axis of the robot and keeping the operation of the control point in a linear operation.
