In the following description, "top", "bottom", "left" and "right" correspond to the top, bottom, left and right in the drawing, respectively, but this is for convenience of understanding. The direction is shown in the above, and does not define the direction when the sewing device, the work holding jig and the sewing method are actually used.

(First Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the sewing device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a work holding jig 12, a sewing mechanism 14, and a transfer robot 16 as a drive mechanism for conveying the sewing mechanism 14. The sewing mechanism 14 is attached to the tip arm 18 of the transfer robot 16.

As shown in FIG. 2, the work holding jig 12 includes a seating portion 20, a guide pin 22, an air cylinder 24, a vacuum generator 40, and a frame body 26. The seating portion 20 has a seating surface 20a formed on the upper portion thereof. The seating surface 20a is formed in the same shape as the sewn work 58 in order to maintain the shape of the sewn work 58 (see FIG. 3A). In the illustrated example, the seating surface 20a has an acute-angled portion at the uppermost portion thereof. A plurality of suction holes 30 are formed on the seating surface 20a. These suction holes 30 communicate with the negative pressure flow path 32 inside the seating portion 20, and the negative pressure flow path 32 communicates with the air hose 36a connected to the lower end portion of the seating portion 20. The seating portion 20 is supported by a guide pin 22 via a support member 22a.

The guide pin 22 is attached to the frame body 26 via the guide bush 42. Further, the lower end of the guide pin 22 is connected to the piston rod 24a of the air cylinder 24. The guide pin 22 is configured to be integrally movable with the piston rod 24a in the vertical direction while being guided by the guide bush 42.

The lower end of the air cylinder 24 is fixed to the base 28 of the frame body 26, the upper end (the end on the piston rod 24a side) is arranged upward, and the piston rod 24a is in the vertical direction in the drawing. It is possible to move to. An air hose 44a and an air hose 44b are connected to the air cylinder 24, and the air cylinder 24 operates by supplying compressed air from an external air supply means (not shown).

The air cylinder 24 and the guide pin 22 constitute a retracting mechanism for the seating portion 20, and the seating portion 20 can be retracted in the vertical direction. The retracting direction of the seating portion 20 is not limited to the vertical direction, and may be a horizontal movement or a movement accompanied by a three-dimensional displacement.

The vacuum generator 40 is attached to the frame body 26. Compressed air is supplied to the vacuum generator 40 via the air hoses 36c and 36d and the solenoid valve 39. The vacuum generator 40 is composed of, for example, a vacuum ejector or the like, and can generate a negative pressure under the action of compressed air supplied via the solenoid valve 39. The negative pressure generated by the vacuum generator 40 is supplied to the air manifold 38 via the air hose 36b.

The air manifold 38 has internally branched flow paths and includes valves that control the opening and closing of each flow path. An air hose 36a is connected to the air manifold 38. As shown in FIG. 1, in the work holding jig 12, a plurality of seating portions 20 are provided, and a plurality of air hoses 36a connected to the plurality of seating portions 20 are connected to the air manifold 38 of FIG. Will be done. With the opening and closing of the valve inside the air manifold 38, the suction of the individual seating portions 20 can be switched ON / OFF. When there are many seating portions 20, a plurality of air manifolds 38 and vacuum generators 40 may be provided. Instead of the air manifold 38, the solenoid valve 39 may be used to switch the suction of the individual seating portions 20 ON / OFF. In this case, the air manifold 38 does not need to be provided with a valve, and the air manifold 38 functions only as a branch path of the flow path connecting the vacuum generator 40 and the seating portion 20.

Instead of connecting the air hoses 36a from the plurality of seating portions 20 to the air manifold 38, a vacuum generator 40 may be individually provided for each seating portion 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of seating portions 20 are arranged along the sewing direction of the sewing mechanism 14. These seating surfaces 20a are provided along a sewing line on which the sewing mechanism 14 sews, and have substantially the same shape as the shape of the work to be sewn 58 (see FIG. 5) along the sewing line.

Each seating portion 20 is provided with an air cylinder 24 and a guide pin 22, and each seating portion 20 is configured to be retractable. That is, the seating portion 20 is configured to be retractable in sequence as the sewing mechanism 14 approaches.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sewing mechanism 14 includes a main body 50 formed in a U shape when viewed from the side, and a post bed 46 and a pressing mechanism are provided on facing protrusions 50a and 50b of the main body 50. 48 and a sewing machine needle 49 are provided. As shown enlarged in FIG. 5, the pressing mechanism 48 and the sewing machine needle 49 are provided on one protruding portion 50a side and extend toward the other protruding portion 50b. The post bed 46 is provided on the other protruding portion 50b side, and extends toward the pressing mechanism 48 and the sewing machine needle 49.

The pressing mechanism 48 is configured to be able to project toward the post bed 46 via the shaft 48a, and when sewing is performed on the sewing work 58, the pressing mechanism 48 pushes the sewing work 58 to the tip of the post bed 46. It is configured to be pressed against. The tip of the pressing mechanism 48 is provided with a pair of through holes 48b through which the tip of the sewing machine needle 49 can be inserted.

The sewing machine needle 49 is attached so as to be reciprocally movable in the vertical direction by a drive mechanism (not shown) of the protruding portion 50a. The reciprocating movement of the sewing machine needle 49 draws an elliptical trajectory when viewed from the front of the main body 50. As a result, even when the main body 50 is moved at a constant speed, the sewing machine needle 49 is inserted into the work 58 to be sewn while maintaining a constant position. The thread 52 is inserted through the tip of the sewing machine needle 49, and is inserted into the receiving portion of the post bed 46 through the through hole 48b. Although not particularly limited, the illustrated sewing machine needle 49 is provided with two needles 49, and two stitch patterns S arranged in parallel can be formed.

The post bed 46 is provided with a looper (not shown) that holds the loop portion of the thread 52 formed by the entry of the sewing machine needle 49. The post bed 46 hooks the loop portion of the sewing machine needle 49 on the loop portion formed at the entry portion of the next sewing machine needle 49 to connect the loop portions for sewing.

The transfer robot 16 conveys the sewing mechanism 14 and moves the sewn portion of the sewing mechanism 14 at a constant speed along the sewing line. The transfer robot 16 tilts the main body 50 according to the shape of the sewing position of the work 58 to be sewn, so that the sewing machine needle 49 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the sewing position of the work 58 to be sewn.

In the above configuration, the work holding jig 12, the sewing mechanism 14, and the transfer robot 16 operate under the control action of a control circuit (not shown). The sewing device 10 according to the present embodiment is basically configured as described above. Hereinafter, the operation and effect thereof will be described together with the operation of the sewing device 10.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the work 58 to be sewn is placed on the work holding jig 12. The work 58 to be sewn is sucked into the suction hole 30 of the seating portion 20 and is held by the work holding jig 12 in a state of being seated on the seating surface 20a. In the case of the sewn work 58 used for the interior material of the vehicle, since the strength is relatively high, even if the sewn work 58 is partially seated on the seating portion 20 without being seated on the entire back surface, the posture is to some extent. Can be held. In this case, in the portion where the seating portion 20 is retracted, elastic deformation to some extent is possible with respect to the pinching by the sewing mechanism 14.

Immediately after the work 58 to be sewn is placed on the work holding jig 12, sewing is started in a state where all the seating portions 20 are sucked. After that, the sewing work 58 is sandwiched between the pressing mechanism 48 of the sewing mechanism 14 and the post bed 46, and sewing is performed while inserting and detaching the sewing machine needle 49.

As shown in FIG. 5, the post bed 46 is separated from the back surface of the sewn work 58 in the vertical direction in order to prevent interference with the sewn work 58. In the case of this embodiment, for example, the distance may be about 5 mm to 10 mm. As a result, the shape of the work 58 to be sewn formed by the seating portion 20 can be prevented from being deformed by the post bed 46, and the position of the sewing line can be prevented from being displaced. By pushing the sewing work 58 to the position of the tip surface of the post bed 46, the pressing mechanism 48 forms a flat surface on the surface of the sewing work 58 at the portion between the post bed 46 and the pressing mechanism 48. , The direction is adjusted to be substantially perpendicular to the sewing machine needle 49.

The sewing mechanism 14 is moved to the right in the drawing at a constant speed by the transfer robot 16. Along with this, as shown in FIG. 3B, the first seating portion 20 at a position where it interferes with the sewing mechanism 14 is retracted. When retracting the seating portion 20, the supply of negative pressure to the seating portion 20 is stopped to release the suction of the work 58 to be sewn. After that, by lowering the air cylinder 24, the seating portion 20 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the sewing mechanism 14.

As a result, both sides of the work 58 to be sewn are in a state of being floated from the seating portion 20, and the sewing mechanism 14 can be moved to that portion along the sewing line. Even when the first seating portion 20 is retracted, the shape of the work to be sewn 58 is maintained by the second seating portion 20, so sewing is performed with the work to be sewn 58 shaped. Can be done.

The sewing mechanism 14 may be tilted diagonally depending on the orientation of the surface of the sewing work 58 at the sewing position. In that case, the plurality of seating portions 20 in a range that interferes with the sewing mechanism 14 may be retracted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the second seating portion 20 is retracted according to the movement of the sewing mechanism 14. Further, the seating portion 20 of the portion through which the sewing mechanism 14 has passed is returned to the original position.

As described above, by retracting the seating portion 20 of the portion that interferes with the sewing mechanism 14 in accordance with the movement of the sewing mechanism 14, it is possible to prevent the seating portion 20 from interfering with the sewing mechanism 14. As a result, the sewing mechanism 14 can sew while keeping the work 58 to be sewn shaped by the seating portion 20.

(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, an example in which the stitch pattern S is sewn will be described using the interior material constituting the instrument panel of the vehicle as the work 68 to be sewn. The configuration of the sewing device 10 used in this embodiment is basically the same as that shown in FIG. 1, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the work 68 to be sewn is supplied in a state of being shaped in the shape of an instrument panel. As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 7A, the sewn work 68 includes a base material 68b made of a hard synthetic resin formed in a required shape and a soft skin material 68a adhered to the surface of the base material 68b. It is composed of. The base material 68b is made of, for example, extruded polypropylene, and the skin material 68a is made of, for example, a flexible elastomer material with a leather-like pattern.

As shown in FIG. 6, the curve L of the work to be sewn 68 is a sewing line for sewing, and a stitch pattern S is formed along the sewing line L. In the present embodiment, a plurality of seating portions 20 are provided along the sewing line L. The seating surface 20a of the seating portion 20 has substantially the same shape as the work 68 to be sewn, and is provided with a suction hole 30 (see FIG. 1). Each seating portion 20 is provided with a retracting mechanism (not shown) for retracting in the Z direction of FIG. The configuration of this retracting mechanism is the same as that described with reference to FIG.

The sewing mechanism 14 (see FIG. 1 and the like) moves along the sewing line L of the work 68 to be sewn. By retracting the seating portion 20 of the portion that interferes with the sewing mechanism 14 as the sewing mechanism 14 moves, sewing can be performed while preventing the shape deviation and the positional deviation of the work 68 to be sewn. Further, for a portion that is separated from the sewing line L and does not interfere with the sewing mechanism 14, a fixed work holding jig 60 (second work holding jig) having no retracting mechanism is used in combination. It may be configured to support the sewing work 68.

Further, the transfer robot 16 (see FIG. 1) detects the inclination of the surface of the sewn portion of the work 68 to be sewn, and sews so that the sewing machine needle 49 of the sewing mechanism 14 is always perpendicular to the surface of the sewn portion. The orientation of the mechanism 14 is controlled. That is, as shown in the enlarged perspective view of FIG. 6, the sewing device 10 (see FIG. 1) detects two tangents B and C that are orthogonal to each other at the portion between the two sewing machine needles 49, and those tangents. Find the direction of the perpendicular D with respect to B and C. Then, the direction of the sewing mechanism 14 is controlled so that the axial direction of the sewing machine needle 49 coincides with the perpendicular line D. When the shape of the work to be sewn 68 is fixed, it is not necessary for the transfer robot 16 to detect the inclination of the surface each time the sewing work 68 is sewn. In this case, the transfer robot 16 may be configured to move according to the teaching operation input in advance.

For example, in the cross section along the VIIA-VIIA line of FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 7A, the direction of the perpendicular line D at the sewing position is greatly inclined toward the horizontal direction. In sewing this portion, a plurality of seating portions 20 that may interfere with the sewing mechanism 14 are retracted.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the shape of the work to be sewn 68 cannot be maintained only by the fixed work holding jig 60 for the portion that bends at an acute angle. Therefore, in the conventional sewing apparatus, when the pressing mechanism 48 is pressed against the post bed 46 of the sewing mechanism 14, the work to be sewn 68 tilts to the left and right in the drawing, and sewing cannot be performed accurately. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the shape of the work 68 to be sewn can be maintained by the seating portions 20 on both front and rear sides of the sewing mechanism 14 in the moving direction, even a portion bent at an acute angle. , Can be sewn with high accuracy.

(Third Embodiment)
In this embodiment, an example in which the cam mechanism 70 is adopted as the retracting mechanism of the work holding jig 12 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) will be described. As shown in FIG. 8A, in the present embodiment, the cam mechanism 70 is provided under the guide pin 22.

The cam mechanism 70 of the present embodiment includes a roller 72 and a sliding portion 76 that abuts on the roller 72. The roller 72 is supported by the shaft portion 72a and is rotated by the shaft portion 72a in the direction of the arrow in the figure. The roller 72 is formed with a recess 74 recessed in the axial direction. The sliding portion 76 is connected to the base end portion of the guide pin 22. The sliding portion 76 is configured to slide along the outer peripheral portion of the roller 72.

As shown in FIG. 8B, as the sliding portion 76 passes through the recess 74, the sliding portion 76 moves downward, and the seating portion 20 connected to the guide pin 22 and its upper end is lowered accordingly. .. As a result, the seating portion 20 can be retracted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, the sliding portion 76 comes off the recess 74 as the roller 72 rotates, so that the guide pin 22 rises and the seating portion 20 returns to the original position. By arranging a plurality of such cam mechanisms 70 in the moving direction of the sewing mechanism 14, the work holding jig 12 (see FIG. 1) can be realized. In this case, by shifting the phase of the roller 72 of the cam mechanism 70, it is possible to realize a retracting mechanism in which the seating portion 20 retracts in synchronization with the movement of the sewing mechanism 14. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the device configuration of the work holding jig having the retracting mechanism can be simplified.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. No.
