することが出来ない欠点があった。The parts feeding device in a conventional assembly machine is provided with a plurality of scooping arms in a hopper that can swing up and down, and scoops the parts in the hopper with its head upward using the arms to form a continuous chute with each arm. be guided to. At the end of the chute, take out each of the parts that have been sorted and arrange them in the same way as the fitting position for the base material to be assembled, and guide them with a chute such as a hose to the position where the base material is fixed. It is made up like this. However, this type of equipment requires several steps from the hopper to the base material, and has the disadvantage that efficiency cannot be improved.

にある。The purpose of the present invention is to scoop out a required number of parts stored in a hopper and arrange them at a required pitch, and to fix the arranged parts onto a workpiece while holding them by suction force. The collet chuck used in the past has been improved by being configured so that the holding position of the parts being held while being transported is adjusted to a state suitable for insertion into the hole in the base material. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that can efficiently assemble a plurality of parts within a narrow range by eliminating the need for

る。In order to achieve the above purpose, the component holding mold lifts the parts stored in the hopper from the bottom of the hopper, and scoops out the required number of parts in a predetermined arrangement at once. Each scooped-out component is held at the tip of the support tube by suction means and transported toward the base material on the workpiece, but during transportation, the components held in the support tube do not necessarily align with the axis of the support tube. Since the parts are not held vertically along the support pipe, the parts are once dropped into the attitude control mold, and the parts in the attitude control mold are again sucked to the end of the support tube and conveyed toward the base material. In addition to inserting the part that has been sucked into the hole in the base material as it is, the action of dropping the part into the posture control mold and the action of putting the part into the base material are performed all at once, and the action of taking the part from the part holding mold is performed. It is configured so that the movement of picking up parts from the posture control type is also carried out at the same time.

The upper end of the component holding mold 4 is formed into a chevron shape, and a plurality of grooves 6 into which the legs of the component 21 fit are provided on the slope of the chevron shape. The arrangement of the grooves 6 is similar to the arrangement of the small holes 20 into which the parts 21 of the base material 19 are inserted. If the base material 19 is a retainer, the small holes 20 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so the grooves 6 are provided at equal intervals in the radial direction.

母材19の小孔20内に挿入される。The present invention has the above structure, and a large number of parts 21 are put into the hopper 2 in a state where the descending part holding mold 4 is covered, and the base material 19 is fixed on the workpiece 9 and placed in a predetermined position. By raising the component holding mold 4 while it is being sent to the position and stopping, each concave groove 6 provided at the upper end of the holding mold 4 is removed.
The part 21 is held inside with the head fitted upward,
The head of the component 21 contacts the lower end of each support tube 14 of the component suction head 12 that is waiting above the holding mold 4 . At this point, each support tube 17 of the other component suction head 16 is in contact with the head of the component 21 fitted into the receiving hole 8 of the attitude control type 7, and the suction action of air is exerted on both heads 12 and 16. By providing the bearing tube 14. of each head 12.16. i7
The component 21 is sucked to. Then, after raising both heads 12.16 and pulling out the parts 21 from both dies 4 and 7, both heads 12.16 are moved to the right side in the figure, and the head 12 facing the part holding die 4 is controlled in attitude. The head 16 that was on the posture control mold 7 is moved onto the workpiece 9 onto the mold 7, and the heads 12 are lowered and the air suction is stopped. The part 21 that was being held falls and is inserted into the receiving hole 8 of the posture control mold 7 and the small hole 20 of the base material 19 provided on the workpiece 9.

部品を掬い取り、余分な部品を徘掃できるものである。Thereafter, both heads 12 and 16 rise and return to their original positions, during which time the component holding die 4 descends once and rises again to hold the component 21 and wait. ..
Reference numeral 16 repeats the operation of descending again and picking up the parts, thereby continuously performing the assembly operation. Further, during the above-described assembly operation, when the component 21 is attracted to the support tube 14 by the component holding die 4, the component 21 is not necessarily attracted to the support tube 14 perpendicularly, but often tilts. This is because the concave groove 6 of the component holding mold 4 is provided on the inclined surface.However, since the concave groove 6 is provided on the sloped surface, the parts can be reliably scooped out by the vertical movement of the holding mold 4, and the excess can be removed. Parts can be scavenged.

あり、機械の設計上考慮される必要がある。On the other hand, since the receiving hole 8 of the attitude control type 7 is formed in a trumpet shape, when the part 21 is dropped into the hole 8, even if the base material is inclined, it will be guided by the trumpet-shaped hole and will be securely inserted. The straightened parts are straightened into vertical striations, and then the straightened parts are placed in the support tube 17.
When suctioning is performed, the tube 17 is suctioned in a state where it hangs straight down without being inclined. Since the suction posture of the component is corrected in this way, the component can be directly and smoothly inserted into the small hole of the base material without any hindrance. However, when inserting the component into the small hole, it is a matter of course that each support tube 17 should be lowered to reliably face the small hole in the base material, and this needs to be taken into consideration in the design of the machine.

The parts alignment section, posture control mold, and workpieces are arranged at equal intervals,
A pair of heads each having a suction means are provided on both molds facing each other, and are arranged so as to move vertically and horizontally with both molds, and one component aligning section takes out the same number of components as the number of components to be assembled on the base material in an arrangement; The parts are transported by suction to a support tube protruding from the head while maintaining their alignment, and the suction posture is properly corrected during transport before the parts are assembled into the base material. The process of correcting the suction posture and the process of fitting the part into the base material are performed at the same time, which greatly speeds up the efficiency of the part assembly operation and allows multiple parts to be assembled within a narrow range. are also processed all at once.
