JPS61273412A - Individual takeout method for line-up parts - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the takeout of parts, by letting a tray with a lot of line-up holes made up in parts from vibrate, while drawing out a shutter having notches different in depth each at its terminal with the underside at a fixed rate, and constituting it so as to drop the parts one by one from each both. CONSTITUTION:Parts to be fed onto a tray 1 are fitted in each of line-up holes 11 by dint of rocks and vibrations of a casing 4. Next, when a shutter 3 is drawing out by degrees, these parts comes to drop one by one in consecutive order owing to notches different in depth each. These dropped parts are fed to an assembling process by a conveyor (unillustrated herein). With this constitution, a mechanical structure is well simplifiable.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) This invention is a method of aligning a large number of parts at the same time and then aligning each part to one part.
The present invention relates to a method for individually taking out aligned parts, in which 11 parts are taken out and sequentially transferred to an assembly process.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in order to simultaneously align a large number of parts and then supply them to a self-help assembly machine, a big-and-place unit or the like is used to supply the arranged parts one by one to an automatic assembly machine. Ta.

(Problems to be Solved) In the conventional method, a complicated method was required to take out the parts one by one.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a simpler method for taking out parts one by one after simultaneous alignment of multiple surfaces.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a shutter that can be pulled out on the bottom surface of a tray in which a large number of alignment holes corresponding to the shape of the parts are formed, and a depth hole is provided at the end of the shutter in the pulling direction. A process in which a notch with a cutout is set in a casing to form an alignment device, a process in which a large number of parts are fed onto a tray, and the casing is rocked and vibrated to align each part in the alignment hole; Thereafter, the process consists of a process in which the shutters are pulled out at a constant speed to drop the parts one by one using each notch, and a process in which the parts that have fallen one by one are sequentially transferred to the assembly process.

〔Example〕

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A shutter 3 that can be pulled out is provided on the lower surface of the tray 1 in which a large number of alignment holes 11 corresponding to the shape of the parts are formed, and cutouts 31 of different depths are provided at openings that become the terminal ends of the shutter 3 in the pulling direction. ... is formed, and the tray 1 and shutter 3 are set in the casing 4 to constitute an alignment device. The tray 1 is formed with a side portion 12 from which the shutter 3 can be pulled out. The shutter 3 is provided with a handle 32 at its starting end in the pulling direction, and the handle 32 projects from the opening 41 of the casing 4. A line L shown in FIG. 3 is a line to which the first horizontal row of alignment holes 11 of the tray 1 correspond.

The shape and form of the notch 31 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3, and may be, for example, the notch 31 shown in FIG. 4.

In the shutter 3 shown in FIG. 3, the part A is dropped from each notch 31 and the terminal end at the left end in the drawing.
In the one shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 3 adjacent to the notch 31
3. Drop part A from the location. In FIG. 4, when the shutter 3 is slid at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow, the parts A will fall in the order indicated by ■ to ■ in the drawing, starting from the leftmost component. The slide of the shutter 3 is not manually operated, but is operated by a device (not shown) that grips the handle 32 to control the slide speed and slide intermittently to ensure that the part A falls 11 [1] at a time. Let's do it like this.

The parts A... are supplied onto the tray 1 set in the casing 4 shown in FIG.・
Insert it into ... and align it. Next, by pulling out the shutter 3, the parts A are dropped one by one using each notch 31. The dropped part A is received by a transfer station 5 as shown in FIG.
are sequentially transferred to the next process, assembly process 6, by means such as suction. Various types of parts A can be considered as the parts A that are arranged, taken out one by one, and transferred to the assembly process 6, but the one shown in the figure shows the shape of a connector pin. This part A is
Since the center of gravity is not centered in the longitudinal direction, but falls toward one end, the heavier end will face downward when it falls.

〔effect〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, although it has conventionally been done to align components on a tray in which a large number of alignment holes corresponding to the shape of the components are formed, in the subsequent process, the bottom surface of the tray is Equipped with a shutter that can be pulled out,
There is no alignment device that has cutouts of different depths formed at the end of the shutter in the pull-out direction.The existence of this shutter allows the shutter to be moved at a constant speed after aligning the parts with the alignment device. By pulling out the parts, it is possible to drop the parts one by one using each notch, and furthermore, after the parts have been dropped, it becomes easy to transport the parts one by one to the assembly process.

Further, according to the present invention, there is no need for the conventional process of sending a large number of parts aligned at the same time to the next process one by one using a big-and-place unit after alignment, and It is no longer necessary to install expensive and space-consuming FR equipment. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably and easily separate and take out the parts one by one after alignment.
