The present invention relates to a thin article processing apparatus and a method for producing a thin plate member.

As a thin article processing apparatus, the grinding apparatus which performs the grinding | polishing of the cross-section of a substantially rectangular thin-shaped workpiece, for example is known, This grinding apparatus is a portable terminal, such as a mobile telephone, for example. It is used to perform cross-sectional grinding of the thin glass used. A thin glass plate is often used for the monitor of this portable terminal. Such a thin plate glass is formed into a predetermined shape by cutting a generally large-sized glass plate into a substantially workpiece shape and grinding the end face of the cut glass plate with a grinding apparatus. In particular, at the time of this grinding, the chamfering process is also performed at the same time, and also the prevention of the defect of the cross section of thin glass is performed.

On the other hand, by using the processing tool which consists of a small diameter cylindrical grindstone, it can insert in the hole part of the workpiece | work W, and can perform internal grinding of a hole and a chamfering process.

Moreover, the processing machine 104 has the processing spindle (not shown) which detachably attaches the processing tool 130 to the front-end | tip. The machining spindle includes an electric motor (not shown) that generates a rotational driving force when machining, and a chuck for attaching the machining tool to the spindle shaft of the electric motor.

The said processing spindle (processing machine 104) is provided so that the movement along the installation direction of the 1st rail 11 is possible. Therefore, by moving the processing table 103 and the processing spindle, the processing tool is provided to be movable in the horizontal direction (front and rear, left and right directions) relative to the work W on the processing table 103. The machining spindle is also provided so as to move in the vertical direction as well.

And it is preferable that the grinding unit 100 is further provided with grinding liquid injection means (not shown) which injects grinding liquid toward the processing tool 130 attached to the processing spindle. In addition, the grinding unit 100 is provided with a corrugated cover (not shown) or the like so as not to infiltrate the grinding liquid scattered during the grinding. In addition, although not shown in detail, it is preferable that the catch pan (not shown) for recovering the grinding liquid sprayed on the workpiece | work W is provided.

The grinding device M is provided with control means for controlling various operations. Here, as a control means, it can comprise with an electronic control unit, for example.

Although the control means supplies the unprocessed workpiece | work W to the process table 103 by the conveyance / export unit 10, and controls to carry out the workpiece | work W which was processed from the process table 103, Hereinafter, this conveyance / export method is demonstrated.

First, when starting a grinding operation, the conveyance and conveyance unit 10 is located in the start end side of the 1st rail 11. And the supply unit 60 receives the unprocessed workpiece | work W from the workpiece cartridge 61, and the supply unit 60 receives the unprocessed workpiece | work W of one side of the conveyance / discharge unit 10. It is handed over to the workpiece holding part 27. And in this exchange, suction and stop of the to-be-processed object holding | maintenance part 27 of the conveyance and conveyance unit 10 and the adsorption | suction part of the supply unit 60 are controlled. Such suction and stop are also controlled in the exchange of the workpiece W described later, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted below.

The conveyance and carry-out unit 10 which received the unprocessed workpiece | work W moves to the receiving position of one grinding unit 100 among the plurality of grinding units 100. At this time, the machining table 103 of the grinding unit 100 also moves to the take-off position.

And the rotating body 25 rotates 90 degrees, the workpiece holding part 27 which hold | maintains the workpiece | work W is made into the downward side, and the workpiece | work W and the processing table 103 are faced. Then, the rotating body 25 is lowered and the work W is received by the machining table 103.

Thereafter, the rotating body 25 is rotated (inverted) by 90 degrees to capture the work W on the machining table 103 by the camera 23.

After this photographing, the machining table 103 moves to a machining position, a grinding operation is started, and the conveying / exporting unit 10 moves to the viewpoint side of the first rail 11.

The conveyance operation as described above is performed for each grinding unit 100, and the work W is supplied to each grinding unit 100.

Then, when the grinding operation is completed in the grinding unit 100, the machining table 103 moves to the receiving position. In addition, the conveyance / carrying unit 10 moves to the receiving position in the state of holding the workpiece W which has not been processed in one workpiece holding portion 27. At this time, the work W is not supported by the other work holding portion 27 in an empty state.

Thereafter, the rotating body 25 is rotated (inverted) by 90 degrees, and the work piece W and the work table W (with the other work piece holding part 27 not holding the work W) face downward. Face to face 103). And the rotating body 25 descends and receives the workpiece | work W by which the process was completed from the processing table 103.

Then, the rotating body 25 is rotated 180 degrees to face the work W and the work table 103 with the work holding part 27 holding the work W facing downward. Then, the rotating body 25 is lowered to receive the work W by the machining table 103.

After that, the rotating body 25 faces downward, and the workpiece W is photographed on the machining table 103 by the camera 23.

After this photographing, the machining table 103 moves to the machining position, the grinding operation is started, and the conveying / exporting unit 10 moves to the viewpoint side of the first rail 11.

And after moving to the viewpoint side of the 1st rail 11, the discharge | release unit 70 receives the workpiece | work W with which the process was completed from the other workpiece holding part 27 of the conveyance and carrying-out unit 10, The workpiece W of which the machining is completed is accommodated in the workpiece cartridge 61 of the finished workpiece W, and the supply unit 60 is not machined from the workpiece cartridge 61 of the raw workpiece W. The workpiece W which has not been received is received, and the unprocessed workpiece W is received by the supply unit 60 to one workpiece holding portion 27 of the conveying and discharging unit 10.

The conveyance and carry-out unit 10 which received the workpiece | work W which was not processed in this way moves to the receiving position of the other grinding unit 100 which the grinding operation was complete | finished, and the conveyance and carry-out operation as mentioned above is performed repeatedly. It becomes.

In addition, although the control means calculates the grinding path of the workpiece | work W based on the data image | photographed by the camera 23, the control method at the time of this calculation is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14, after start, first, in S1, model data (outer shape, hole part, etc.) of the workpiece | work W is input (installed) to an electronic control unit (input process) first. In this input operation, for example, the design data (CAD data) of the workpiece Wo, which has been precisely processed, is once input into another software, converted into grinding data such as a grinding path, and then input into an electronic control unit (installation). )do.

After such an input work is finished, the actual work Wi (hereinafter referred to as the real work W) is mounted (loaded in) on the machining table 103 in S2, and then placed on the suction table 108. The workpiece Wi is held (holding process).

Then, in S3, the camera 23 acquires the image of the real workpiece Wi and the reference pins 116 and 116 (photographing process). Specifically, the workpiece | work Wi and the reference pins 116 and 116 of the processing table 103 are image | photographed with the camera 23. FIG. By photographing the machining table 103 from the upper spaced position in this manner, the nonuniformity of the obtained work Wi and the image data of the reference pins 116 and 116 can be reduced as much as possible.

An example of image data input in this manner is a diagram shown in FIG. 15A. The workpiece Wi and the two reference pins 116 and 116 are input as image data to calculate respective position data.

Then, in S4, the machine origin C of the machining table 103 is calculated from the positions of the reference pins 116 and 116 (machine origin calculation step). Here, machine origin C is a reference | standard of the machine coordinate for performing grinding, and by defining this machine origin C, accurate grinding can be performed.

The machine origin C is set according to the midpoint of the line L which connected the two reference pins 116 and 116, as shown in FIG.15 (b). As another example, as indicated by a broken line, two reference pins 116 'and 116' are further added, and a line N connecting the two additional reference pins 116 'and 116' is added. The intersection between the line L connecting the two reference pins 116 and 116 may be defined as the machine origin C.

And in S5, the center position P of the external shape Wa of the actual workpiece Wi, and the center position Q of the hole Wb are calculated from the input data of the real workpiece Wi (center position calculation process). Here, a center position is a center position of a figure, and is decided along the external shape of the workpiece | work W and the hole part shape. Black circles P and Q shown in FIG. 15B are center positions of the outline Wa of the actual workpiece W and center positions of the hole Wb, respectively.

Thereafter, in S6, the center position (center position P of the outline and the center position Q of the hole) and the center position of the model Wm (center position Pm of the outline and the center position Qm of the hole) coincide with each other. By matching the center position P, Q of the real workpiece W with the center position Pm, Qm of the model Wm, the difference (difference of position data) between the real workpiece Wi and the model Wm is made clear. The state shown to FIG. 15C is a state which matched the center position P, Q, Pm, and Qm of the real workpiece Wi and the model Wm (single dashed line). Thus, by matching center position P, Q, Pm, and Qm, the difference between the real workpiece Wi and the model Wm can be made clear.

And in S7, the machine origin C of the machining table 103 is compared with the center position P of the real workpiece Wi, and the deviation amount (deviation amount of the horizontal direction) between the machine origin C and the center position P of the real workpiece Wi is compared. X, the deviation amount Y in the vertical direction, and the deviation amount θ in the rotation direction are calculated (deviation amount calculation step). In addition, the actual workpiece Wi is compared with the model Wm, and the grinding amount Δw is also calculated according to the external appearance difference. In this manner, the amount of grinding of the real work Wi can be clarified.

FIG.15 (d) shows each deviation amount and grinding amount. The deviation amount of the center position P of the real workpiece Wi from the machine origin C of the machining table 103 is shifted X to the left and Y upward to the left, for example, as shown in Fig. 15D. Further, θ is inclined at an angle to the right side.

The grinding amount is calculated by subtracting the width dimension T1 of the model from the width dimension r1 of the real workpiece Wi by dividing it by 2, and the grinding amount Δw1 in the width direction is calculated by dividing the grinding amount Δw2 in the longitudinal direction by the actual workpiece (Wi). Subtract the length dimension T2 of the model from the length dimension r2 It is calculated by dividing by two.

In this way, after calculating grinding amounts Δw1 and Δw2 in the width direction and the longitudinal direction, a larger value is determined as the final grinding amount Δw. Determining in this way is the trajectory of the model shape and the similarity at the time of performing a grinding process, and it cuts by determining with a large value, in order to shave the whole periphery of the workpiece | work W with a fixed grinding amount. This is because it is possible to reliably produce, and the grinding can be performed in a close shape depending on the model shape.

And in S8, the grinding path of the workpiece | work Wi is computed according to the deviation amount of grinding X, Y, and ( theta ) w (grinding path calculation process). This grinding path is changed by the shape of the real work W1 and the change of the mounting position of the real work Wi, and is different in each work W. As shown in FIG.

After that, in S9, the real workpiece Wi is ground in the calculated grinding path (grinding step). This grinding operation is performed by moving the grinding spindle 131 and the processing table 103, respectively. In the grinding | polishing work of this workpiece | work W, it performs along the grinding site | part using 130 A of large diameter processing tools and 130 B of small diameter processing tools mentioned above.

Finally, in S10, the actual workpiece Wi is taken out from the machining table 103 as already described (export step).

Then, it is judged whether or not to end the work in S11, and when the work is continued (in the case of NO judgment), the process shifts to S2 again to process the next work W. On the other hand, when the job ends (in the case of YES judgment: when the power is turned off), the process shifts to the end as it is.

As described above, the cross-section of the workpiece W can be ground by the grinding device M under the control of the control means, so that a thin plate-shaped member whose surface is ground can be manufactured.

In the said grinding apparatus M, the to-be-processed object holding | maintenance part 27 is provided in two places, and it can perform discharge | emission step and a conveyance step almost continuously by one conveyance / export unit 10, and improves production efficiency. Can be improved.

In particular, since the grinding unit 100 has a plurality of grinding units, the grinding operation can be performed in the other grinding unit 100 while the one of the grinding units 100 is carrying out the above-mentioned conveyance and carrying out operation. Can be further improved.

Moreover, the supply unit 60 and the discharge unit 70 are installed in the position which pinched | interposed the 1st rail 11, The workpiece holding part 27 is provided in the opposing wall of the rotating body 25, respectively, As described above, the supply of the unprocessed workpiece W by the supply unit 60 and the discharge of the workpiece W processed by the discharge unit 70 can be simultaneously performed, thereby conveying the workpiece W. -Since the carrying out time can be shortened, productivity can be further improved.

Moreover, in the said grinding apparatus M, since the process table 103 has the some adsorption | suction table 108 which can hold | maintain the workpiece | work W, respectively, it is possible to process the several workpiece | work W by one machining operation. Grinding can be performed. In addition, since each of the two workpiece holding portions 27 has a plurality of workpiece supporting members 29 corresponding to the suction table 108 of the machining table 103, one conveyance / export operation By this, the some workpiece W can be conveyed and carried out. Therefore, the productivity can be further improved. In particular, for example, in the case of performing machining with a plurality of types of machining tools in one machining operation, after one machining tool is attached, the plurality of workpieces W may be used by one machining tool. The same kind of processing can be performed, and after that, the said one machining tool can be detached and another machining tool can be mounted, and the same machining process by this another machining tool can be performed with respect to the several workpiece | work W. FIG. . That is, since the processing of a plurality of workpieces is performed by attaching or detaching a single machining tool, the time required for attaching or detaching the machining tool can be shortened, and work efficiency can be improved.

In addition, since the machining table 103 is moved from the receiving position to the machining position by the second rail 101, the area receiving the workpiece W and the processing area can be partitioned, and the machining position is the grinding liquid. By the wet state, that is, the wet state, the wet position can be distinguished from the wet state. In addition, each of the workpiece holding portions (2) holds only the unprocessed workpiece W, one of which is dry, and only the workpiece W, which has been wetted, on the other. The state of the dry wet of 27) can be distinguished.

In addition, since the traveling body 13 travels along the first rail 11 and the processing table 103 travels along the second rail 101, compared with the case of employing a conventional scalar robot. High liquefaction can be suppressed, and trouble does not easily occur, and maintenance is easy.

Moreover, since the rotating body 25 moves up and down to the traveling body 13, and is approaching and spaced apart from the processing table 103 side, the structure is relatively simple, and the failure or the like is prevented while preventing the high liquidation of the device. It is not easy to produce and easy to maintain.

Moreover, in the said grinding apparatus M, since all the several grinding units 100 are provided so that a machining position may be located in the same side with respect to the 1st rail 11, the machining position of the grinding unit 100 is On the side which is not provided, the said 1st rail 11 can be provided in the side surface of an apparatus, and it has the merit which can carry out repair, inspection, etc. of a conveyance unit easily.

In addition, since the supply unit 60 and the discharge unit 70 are formed near the start end of the first rail 11, the supply unit 60 and the discharge unit 70 are disposed on one side surface (the side of the start end side of the first rail 11) of the grinding apparatus M. FIG. The supply part and the discharge part of the work W can be arranged. Therefore, one worker can insert and take out the work cartridges 61 and 71 from one side.

Moreover, the camera 23 is attached to the traveling body 13, the workpiece | work W on the processing table 103 can be image | photographed, and the grinding operation in an accurate grinding path can be performed based on the imaging data.

In particular, the data of the model of the workpiece | work W is previously installed, the machine origin of the machining table 103 is computed from the imaging data of the reference pin 116 acquired by the camera 23, and the camera 23 The center position of the workpiece | work W is calculated | required from the imaging data of the workpiece | work W inputted by this, the machine origin of the machining table 103 is compared with the center position P of the workpiece | work W, and the deviation amount of the workpiece | work W is calculated. In order to calculate and calculate a grinding path according to this deviation amount, the workpiece | work W can be ground correctly. In particular, even without forming a "mark (mark) to be a reference" or the like on the work W itself, the "machine origin" is obtained from a reference pin provided on the machining table 103, and the deviation amount of the work W is calculated. Since it can grasp | ascertain, even if it is thin glass (workpiece W) used for the display screen of portable terminals, such as a mobile telephone, grinding can be performed correctly.

In addition, although it is also conceivable to provide a plurality of cameras 23 and to install the cameras 23 for each of the working tables 103, a configuration in which the cameras 23 are mounted on the traveling body 13 as described above is adopted. By doing so, it is not necessary to install a plurality of cameras 23, and the high liquidation of the apparatus can be suppressed.

Moreover, since the camera 23 is located above the traveling body 13, the distance from the workpiece | work W which is a shooting target can be lengthened by the camera 23, and thereby the whole workpiece | work W can be made into favorable focal point. You can shoot.

In addition, since it is possible to select and install the plural kinds of adsorption | suction stand 108 in the processing table 103, it can grind correctly by selecting an appropriate adsorption | suction stand according to the magnitude | size of the workpiece | work W which is grinding object. In addition, when the 1st or 3rd holding base 107 is mounted and fixed, the some adsorption | suction stand 108 can be provided in the processing table 103. As shown in FIG. Thereby, the grinding | pulverization operation | work can be performed by selecting the more suitable adsorption | suction stand 108 according to the magnitude | size of the workpiece | work W, without changing the holding base 107.

In addition, since there are a plurality of reference pins 116 and the plurality of reference pins 116 are disposed outside the outer shape of each work W held by the suction table 108, the work W is provided. The reference pin 116 is located at a position close to, so that the "machine origin" is close to the center position of the work W, so that the error in calculating the amount of deviation can be reduced. In addition, since each of the reference pins 116 is located at both positions sandwiching the work W, the point formed on the line connecting the two reference pins 116 of the work W is referred to as the "machine origin." And the position near the center position of the workpiece | work W can be said to be a machine origin. In addition, since at least two reference pins 116 are disposed to face each other with the work W interposed therebetween, the intersection of the lines connecting the pairs of reference pins 116 is referred to as the "machine origin". And the center position of the workpiece (W) can be closer. Therefore, the amount of deviation of the workpiece W can be calculated more accurately.

In addition, since the reference pin 116 standing on the base plate 109 is located outside the outer shape of the work W held on the suction table 108, the reference pin 116 is concealed on the work W. Therefore, even if it changes to any one of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd adsorption | suction stand 108, it is not necessary to replace this reference pin 116, and imaging operation can be performed correctly. Therefore, the structure of the processing table 103 can be simplified.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, A design change is possible suitably in the intended range of this invention.

In the grinding apparatus M of the above-mentioned embodiment, although the workpiece | work W as a to-be-processed object is made into the laminated glass for mobile phones, it may be thin glass for portable acoustic equipment, for example, and it is thin glass for portable game machines. It may be. Moreover, the thin glass for portable navigation, the thin glass of a portable TV, etc. may be sufficient.

What is done can be employ | adopted. For example, as in the embodiment described above, not only the grinding unit that cuts the cross section of the workpiece for the purpose of dimensional accuracy, but also performs the perforation processing in contact with the slightly polished grinding unit and the workpiece to make the cross section of the workpiece a desired surface roughness. Even the grinding apparatus provided with a perforation processing unit is in the intended range of this invention.
