PURPOSE:To reduce the scale thus to reduce the cost by detecting the product type identifying mark of contrainer for containing partially completed products at every working station arranged along a unilateral conveyor. CONSTITUTION:A poduct A to be worked carried on a conveyor 1 is detected of an identification mark 2C through detecting means 8 arranged at every working station 3, then the position is recognized through control means while the working station 3A, 3B, 3C, 3E, 3F, 3G, 3J, 3L is selected to apply predetermined assembling work onto the product A. Working stations 3A, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F, 3H, 3K, 3L and 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F, 3G, 3H, 3I, 3K, 3L are similarly selected for the products B and C to apply predetermined assembling work onto said products B, C.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a conveying processing device that sequentially performs processing operations while conveying workpieces by a conveyor, and particularly relates to a conveyance processing device that sequentially performs processing operations while conveying workpieces by a conveyor. The present invention relates to a conveyance processing device that can be applied to.

[Prior art]

Generally, to manufacture sewn products such as shoes and bags, processing stations such as sewing machines are arranged in sequence along a conveyor according to the assembly order, and the finished products are obtained by assembling parts at each processing station. be able to.

However, when manufacturing different types of products, different parts are assembled, so a transport processing line consisting of processing stations that perform processing according to the type is required, resulting in large-scale equipment and high costs.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the shortcomings of the prior art.A plurality of processing stations are arranged along a conveyor running in a fixed direction, and each processing station is equipped with a means for taking in semi-finished product storage containers on the conveyor. Each station is equipped with a detection means that detects the product type identification mark attached to the semi-finished product storage container on the conveyor, and the above-mentioned taking-in means is driven based on the detection result of this detection means, so that various types of processed products can be processed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a conveyance processing device that can be applied to the present invention.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, l is a conveyor that runs in a certain direction (the direction of the arrow), and the conveyor 1 conveys the processed product 2 to the downstream side. Here, the processed product 2 is composed of a semi-finished product 2A made up of a plurality of assembled parts, and a box-shaped semi-finished product storage container 2B that stores the semi-finished product 2A, and a side surface of the semi-finished product storage container 2B. A product type identification mark 2C consisting of the same barcode is given to each workpiece 2 of the same type (the components are the same in the above-mentioned assembly).

Further, reference numeral 3 designates processing stations arranged horizontally in a row along the conveyor l, and the processing stations 3 are designed to perform predetermined assembly work on the two semi-finished products, and each processing station 3 Different assemblies are adapted to perform tasks.

Here, the processing station 3 includes a take-in means 4 for taking in the workpiece 2 conveyed by the conveyor 1.
a processing section 6 that performs predetermined assembly work on the processed product 2;
The taking-in means 4 is configured to be operated by a command from a control means (not shown). here,
The control means is preset so that one or a plurality of different processing stations 3 can be sequentially selected depending on each product 2 to be processed.

Further, 8 is a detection means provided for each of the processing stations 3, and each detection means 8 is provided in the semi-finished product storage container 2B.
It is composed of a barcode reader that reads the product type identification mark 2C attached to the side surface, so that the processed products 2 can be distinguished for each type. Based on the output signal of the detection means, the control means recognizes the position of each workpiece 2, while the control means operates the intake means 4 of the processing station 3, which is predetermined for each workpiece 2. The workpiece 2 can then be taken in.

Although the conveyance processing device according to the present invention is configured as described above,
Next, we will examine the effect on a different type of processed product A.

The case of assembling B and C will be explained based on FIG. 2.

First, the processed product A is conveyed by the conveyor 1. Then, based on the output of the detection means 8 installed at each processing station 3, the control means recognizes the position to the processed product, and the processing stations 3A, 3B, 3C, 3E
, 3F, 3G, 3J.

By selecting 3L, a predetermined assembly operation is performed on the processed product A.

Next, when the processed product B is conveyed by the conveyor 1,
The control means recognizes the position of the workpiece B in the same manner as described above and also controls the processing station 3A.

By selecting 3L from 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F, 3H, and 3, a predetermined assembly operation is performed on the processed product B.

Furthermore, when the processed product C is conveyed by the conveyor l, the control means recognizes the position of the processed product C in the same manner as described above, and moves it to the processing station 3A.

3B, 3G, 3D, 3E, 3F, 3G, 3H.

In 31.3, by selecting 3L, a predetermined assembly operation is performed on the processed product C.

Thus, according to the conveyance processing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to process many types of workpieces, so there is no need to provide a dedicated conveyance and processing apparatus for each type of workpiece, and therefore the apparatus can be made small. It is possible to increase the scale and reduce cost. In the above embodiment, the storage container 2B is identified using a bar code, but a magnetic sensor, a combination of a dog and a proximity switch, etc. may also be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of processing stations each equipped with a take-in means for taking in a semi-finished product storage container on a conveyor are arranged along a conveyor running in a fixed direction, and for each processing station, A detection means for detecting the product type identification mark attached to the semi-finished product storage container on the container is provided, and the above-mentioned taking-in means is driven based on the detection result of this detection means, so that it is possible to assemble many types of processed products. Therefore, there is no need to provide a dedicated transport processing device for each type of processed product, and the device can therefore be made smaller and contribute to cost reduction.
