すものである。FIGS. 6, 6, and 7 show a block diagram, a Tsumlet flow diagram, and a timing diagram of the conventional method, respectively.
第６図において、１，２はコンベアライン７上を上流装
置によシ分けられて交互に流れてくる製品をのせたバレ
ン）ａおよびバレン）ｂである。In FIG. 6, numerals 1 and 2 are barrels (a) and (b) carrying products that are separated and alternately flowed on the conveyor line 7 by upstream devices.

ちらの自動機ユニットにも作用する機能がある。3 is an automatic machine unit A that works on pallet a, and 4 is an automatic machine unit B that works on pallet b. Reference numeral 8 denotes a pallet stopper for each automatic machine unit A or B to start its operation. Reference numeral 6 is a tester that operates during the operation cycle of automatic machine units A and B, and 6 has a function that operates on both automatic machine units by means of a tester circuit changeover switch.
バレン）ａおよびバレン）ｂには同じ製品がのせられて

製品に対して同じ作業を行う。なお、試験機はパレット
ａに対してもバレン）ｂに対しても同じ試験を行う。上
流からパレットは必ずパレットａ、バレッ１−ｂの順に
流れてくる。The same product is placed on the barrels a and b, and the automatic machine unit A and the machine unit) B perform the same work on the products. Note that the testing machine performs the same test on pallet a and baren) b. Pallets always flow from upstream in the order of pallet a and pallet 1-b.
自動機ユニッ）Ａはパｐ ７ ） ａにのみ作業を行い

）ｂにのみ作業を行う。Automatic machine unit)A works only on paper p7)a, and when baren)b arrives at stopper 8, it is determined by the detection function of the automatic machine unit, and the stopper is lowered to allow it to pass. Automatic machine unit)B similarly performs work only on pallet)b.
試験機６は結局パレットａ、パレッ）ｂに対し、交互に
試験を行うことになる。The testing machine 6 ends up testing pallets a and pallet b alternately.
これらはパレットをａ、 ｂに分割して、単一パレッ
トの場合よりも自動機ユニットへのパレット到着時間の
軽減を狙った構成となっている。These are designed to divide the pallet into parts a and b, aiming to reduce the time it takes for the pallet to arrive at the automatic machine unit compared to the case of a single pallet.
第２図はライン上を流れてくるパレットの順番をａｌ、

る。Figure 2 shows the order of pallets flowing on the line, al,
bl, a2. b2... is a flowchart for the case.
第３図において従来例の動作を説明する。上流には常時
、数枚のパレットがストックされているものとする。The operation of the conventional example will be explained with reference to FIG. It is assumed that several pallets are always stocked upstream.
はじめに、パレットａ１およびパレットｂ１が、ストッ
パ８の所定の位置に到着し、それぞれパレット規正なら
びに試験のための製品準備作業を完了しているものとす
る。First, it is assumed that pallet a1 and pallet b1 have arrived at the predetermined positions of stopper 8, and have completed pallet regulation and product preparation work for testing, respectively.
まず、試験機は自動機ユニットＡに作用してパレットａ
１の試験を開始し、試験が完了すると直ちに自動機ユニ
ッｌ−Ｂすなわちパレットｂ１の試験を行う。First, the testing machine acts on automatic machine unit A to
1 starts, and immediately after the test is completed, the automatic machine unit l-B, that is, the pallet b1 is tested.
パレッ）ａｌの試験完了時点にて自動機ユニットＡのス
トッパは解除して、パレッ）ａｌはパレットｂ１に近接
し、次のパレッ）ｂ２がその後に待機する。When the test of pallet )al is completed, the stopper of automatic machine unit A is released, pallet)al approaches pallet b1, and the next pallet)b2 waits behind it.
パレットｂ１の試験が完了すると、パレッ）ｂｌが自動
機ユニットＢより搬出され、やがてパレットａ２が自動
機ユニットＡに到着し、自動機ユニッ）Ａは試験準備の
後、試験を開始する。When the test of pallet b1 is completed, pallet b1 is carried out from automatic machine unit B, and pallet a2 eventually arrives at automatic machine unit A, and automatic machine unit A starts the test after preparing for the test.
試験中にパレットｂ２は自動機ユニッｌ−Ｈに到着して
待機し、パレッ）ａ２の試験が完了すると、そこで直ち
にパレットｂ２の試験に切り換わることになる。During the test, pallet b2 arrives at automatic machine unit l-H and waits, and when the test of pallet a2 is completed, the test immediately switches to pallet b2.
発明が解決しようとする問題点
ここではパレットａ２が自動機ユニットＡに搬送される
期間、試験機が停止しており、試験機の稼動のロス時間
となる。このように、従来の構成ではパレッ）ａ、ｂの
ｉ対の組合せを１サイクルと考えた場合、２サイクルに
１回、試験機の停止時間が発生することになる。Problems to be Solved by the Invention Here, the testing machine is stopped while the pallet a2 is being transported to the automatic machine unit A, resulting in lost time in the operation of the testing machine. In this way, in the conventional configuration, if the combination of i pairs of pallets a and b is considered as one cycle, the test machine will have to stop once every two cycles.
そこで本発明は、上記従来の問題点を解消するもので、
どのサイクルにおいても試験機の停止時間のない、すな
わち試験機の稼動率を最も効率よく発揮させる制御方法
を提供するものである。Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method in which there is no stopping time of the testing machine in any cycle, that is, the operating rate of the testing machine is maximized most efficiently.

ある。Means for solving the problems and technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems are A.
B It has a configuration in which a dummy space for two pallets is provided between two automatic machine units.

に保たれるようになる。Effects According to the present invention, in any cycle, while one pallet is being processed, the other pallet is transported and prepared for processing to create a standby state, and as soon as the processing of one pallet is completed, the processing of the other pallet is carried out. As a result, the utilization rate of the common processing unit can be maintained at approximately 100%.
実施例
以下、本発明の一実施例を添付図面にもとづいて説明す
る。第１図、第２図および第３図は本発明の方法による
ブロック図、パレットの流れ内およびタイミング図であ

図に対応し、比較することができる。Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. 1, 2 and 3 are block diagrams, pallet flow and timing diagrams according to the method of the present invention, and FIGS. 6, 6 and 7 of the prior art drawings, respectively.
It corresponds to the figure and can be compared.
また、第４図は一般にひとつの処理ユニットがｎ個の自
動機ユニットと関係している場合のブロック図である。FIG. 4 is a block diagram in which one processing unit is generally associated with n automatic machine units.
第３図において本発明の制御方法による動作を説明する
。The operation according to the control method of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.
まず、パレットが所定のストッパに到着するまでの搬送
時間およびパレット上の製品に対する自動機の試験準備
時間の和が試験機の１サイクル時間と等しいかより少な
いことを前提条件とする。First, the precondition is that the sum of the transport time until the pallet reaches a predetermined stopper and the test preparation time of the automatic machine for the products on the pallet is equal to or less than one cycle time of the test machine.
パレッ）ａｌの試験完了時点にて直ちにパレッ）ｂｌの
試験を開始するが、パレットｂ１の試験を終了しても直
ちにパレットａ２に対する試験が開始できることが解か
る。これはパレットｂ１の試験中に既にパレットａ２が
自動機ユニットＡのストッパ位置に到着することができ
ているからである。As soon as the test on pallet )al is completed, the test on pallet)bl is started, but it is understood that even if the test on pallet b1 is finished, the test on pallet a2 can be started immediately. This is because pallet a2 has already reached the stopper position of automatic machine unit A during the testing of pallet b1.
いま、仮にパレット搬送時間を３秒以内、自動機ユニッ
トの試験準備時間を２秒、さらに試験機の１サイクル時
間を６秒とすれば、従来例ではパレット＆１の試験開始
よりパレットａ２の試験開始まで、すなわち１３秒ない
し１４秒に２パレツトを処理するのに対し、本発明によ
る制御方法では６秒に１パレツトを処理できることが解
かる。Now, if we assume that the pallet transport time is within 3 seconds, the automatic machine unit test preparation time is 2 seconds, and the testing machine cycle time is 6 seconds, then in the conventional example, the test on pallet a2 starts from the start of the test on pallet &1. It can be seen that the control method according to the invention can process one pallet every 6 seconds, whereas two pallets are processed every 13 to 14 seconds.
第４図ではラインタクトが許される限り、一般に各自動
機ユニット間にｎ個のパレット分のダミースペースを設
けた構成を示す。FIG. 4 shows a configuration in which dummy spaces for n pallets are generally provided between each automatic machine unit as long as line tact is permitted.
また、パレットの流れてくる順番が一部くるったとして
も数サイクル後には復元して、すぐにもとの定常状態に
はいることを特徴としている。Furthermore, even if the order in which the pallets flow is partially changed, it will be restored after several cycles and the system will immediately return to its original steady state.

It is possible to increase each operation rate and improve productivity.
