Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is directed to a parts supply device for a spinning pack assembly fence, and particularly to a heavy part of the parts for a spinning pack that cannot be handled easily by hand. This invention relates to a device for automatically supplying.

[Prior Art] A spinning pack generally used for melt spinning, as shown in FIG. 4, consists of a pack main body 1 and a spinneret 3 inserted into the main body 1 with a spinning hole 2 formed therein. Porous plate 4° filter 5. Filtration layer made of sand6. It consists of a ring 7. To assemble such a spinning pack, the above-mentioned parts are sequentially assembled into the pack body 1, or partially assembled parts are sequentially assembled and finally tightened with the ring 7, but this assembly is conventionally performed. It was done manually. However, in recent years, efforts have been made to automate assembly due to reductions in labor costs.

As a method for supplying heavy parts in such automatic assembly, a method has been proposed in which a necessary number of parts are placed on a conveyor in advance (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 119209/1982).

However, this method has problems such as the length of the conveyor being long, making it difficult to fit it into an existing indoor space, and requiring a large space.

[Object of the present invention] It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a parts supply device with good storage efficiency and ease of handling.

[Structure of the Invention] That is, the present invention provides an apparatus for supplying spinning bag parts to an automatic spinning bag assembly line, in which the spinning bag parts are stacked on the side of the spinning bag parts assembly conveyor forming the assembly line. This is a spinning pack component supply device characterized in that a hanger is provided with an opening in the upper part of the hanger, and a component gripper that can move horizontally in the direction of the assembly conveyor and can move up and down is provided in the upper part of the hangar.

[Example] The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are a detailed perspective view of the part gripping tool portion of FIG. 1 and a side view of the main body of the component gripping tool.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 is a conveyor for assembling bags, onto which the bag body 1, which is a seriously injured product, is supplied, and various parts are inserted into the bag body 1 by an industrial robot (not shown) installed at a predetermined position. It is made to be done.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a storage for the bag body 1, which is a heavy component of the spinning bag, which is disposed on the side of the conveyor 10, and the storage 20 is arranged to extend perpendicularly to the conveyor 10. The hangar 20 has a front surface 21 (side surface) open and the interior thereof divided into a large number of chambers 23 by partition plates 22, and each chamber 23 has bag bodies 1 of the same type stacked thereon.

Note that it is not necessary for each chamber 23 to be in the same pack body 1.
3, different types of pack bodies 1 may be stacked on top of each other.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a parts feeder disposed above the hangar 20 and the conveyor 10, and the feeder 30 includes a gripper main body 31 and a drive means 43 for moving the gripper main body 31. The grip main body 31 has an L-shaped base plate 32 shown in FIG. 3 and a floating plate 36 which is extendably connected to the lower part of the base plate 32 via a spring 35.
The floating plate 36 includes a substrate 32 and a regulating plate 33 provided on the upper surface thereof.
The support rod 3 protrudes from the floating plate 36 into the through hole 34 of
7 is passed through the support rod 37, and a stopper plate 38 is provided at the upper end of the support rod 37 so that the floating plate 36 is suspended. The spring 35 is attached between the base plate 32 and the floating plate 36 via a support rod 37.

An electromagnet 40 is similarly held extendably and retractably on the floating plate 36 via a spring 39, and a piston rod 42 is installed in parallel with the electromagnet 40 above (at a short position) the lower surface of the electromagnet 40.
A cylinder 41 for removing parts is provided such that the tip end surface of the cylinder 41 is located.

The driving means 43 has a horizontal slider 44 having two parallel upright guide rods 45 and a chain 46 for moving the gripper main body 31 up and down.

A vertical slider 47 that moves up and down along the guide rod 45 is attached to the guide rod 45. The base plate 32 of the gripper main body is fixed to the slider 47.
The end of the chain 46, which engages sprockets 48 and 49 provided at the lower end, is connected to a slider 47 to enable the main body 31 to move up and down.

Note that the horizontal slider 44 is equipped with a motor 50, a chain 51,
A driving device consisting of sprockets 52, 53, etc. is mounted and connected to the sprocket 48. The horizontal slider 44 has two guide rods 55 arranged horizontally in parallel above the hangar 20 to a position beyond the conveyor 10.
It is possible to move to a designated position (to 23).

The drive mechanism for this horizontal slider 44 is a motor 56 and a sprocket 57.5J 59. It consists of a chain 0, a chain 1, etc., and is moved by the same operation as the vertical slider 47.

In such a device, in order to place a component, for example, the pack body 1, on the conveyor 10, a signal instructing the type of component to be supplied is input from a control panel (not shown) to the supply device, and the motor 56 is driven to move the slider 44. Move to a predetermined chamber 23 and hit the limit switch to stop there. Next, the slider 47 is lowered by the drive of the motor 50 and comes into contact with the uppermost stacked bag body 1, and the floating plate 36 is pushed up. When the limit switch 70 is struck by the protrusion of the stopper plate 38, the electromagnet 40 is activated and its The pack body 1 is held by the suction force. At the same time or immediately after the electromagnetic force 40 is actuated, a rising signal is generated and the slider 47
rises and touches the limit switch placed at the upper position, where it stops. Next, the motor 56 is driven, and the slider 44 moves horizontally along the guide rod 55 with the slider 47 holding the pack body 1, and when it reaches the top of the conveyor 10, a limit switch provided here is activated to stop the slider 44 from moving. . Following the stop, the slider 47 is lowered again by the operation of the motor 50, the component gripper main body 31 comes into contact with the conveyor 10, and when the stopper plate 38 hits the limit switch 10, the motor 50 stops and the component gripper main body 31 stands still.

At about the same time, the current to the electromagnet 40 stops, and the attraction force due to electromagnetic action disappears. However, some adsorption force remains, so when the current is cut off, the cylinder 41 operates and its piston rod 42 protrudes downward to press the pack body 1.

Therefore, the floating plate 36 moves upward and forcibly pulls up the electromagnet 40 in contact with the pack body 1, completely separating the pack body 1 and reliably releasing the grip.

After that, the slider 47 rises and moves laterally to return to its original position, or it continues to perform the same operation and sequentially feeds the pack bodies 1 onto the conveyor at regular intervals (the conveyor 10 performs the above operation). Depending on the situation, intermittent movement is performed during this period).

It goes without saying that such an operation is not limited to a limit switch, but can be performed by a proximity switch, a photoelectric switch, or other known means, and may also be performed by a sequence circuit in combination with a timer or the like as appropriate.

Further, the article gripping means of the gripper can be vacuum suction, permanent magnetic force, mechanical gripping, etc., and the moving means can also be a fluid cylinder instead of a slider type.

Any object such as a trolley can be used. The hangar is not limited to being higher than the conveyor, but may be lower than the conveyor.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the equipment is compact and does not require a large space, and it is possible to effectively store heavy equipment bag parts such as the pack body and use it on the assembly line. can be supplied quickly and reliably.
