In addition, the bulb spacer can be returned to its original position, that is, the pickup position, together with the pick-up finger pickup and transfer device which are separated.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention, as follows.

First, in the overall schematic plan view of the welding assembly and inspection apparatus of the electron gun convergence cup and bulb spacer of the cathode ray tube according to the present invention as shown in FIG. 3, the convergence cup 2 is a refill device 11, a bowl feeder 12, Loading into the initial station ST1 of the welding assembly and inspection line 15 while the initial positioner 540 (shown in FIGS. 4 and 6) is up via the linear feeder 13 and the location and loading device 14. The convergence cup 2 is transferred one by one while the positioner 540 is down along the respective stations ST1 to ST9 of the vertical assembly and inspection line 15, and the process of the corresponding stations ST1 to ST9 is performed. Will be performed.

The bulb spacer 3 is supplied to the welding station ST5 through the bowl feeder 16, the linear feeder 17, the rotary device 18, the pickup and the transfer device 19, and converged by the pusher device 30. The laser welding is performed by the welding device 20 in a state of being supported at a predetermined position of the cup 2, and this process is repeated as many times as necessary for the bulb spacer 3, and then the eject chute 21 is subjected to various inspection processes. Through the amount, the ball is separated, ejected.

Figure 2 shows a process performed in the welding assembly and inspection apparatus of the electron gun convergence cup and bulb spacer of the cathode ray tube according to the present invention described above. In Fig. 2, the convergence cup (2: denoted C / C in Figs. 2 and 19) and the bulb spacer (3: denoted B / S in Figs. 2 and 19) are processed and prepared, respectively, in steps S1 and S21. Is fed into the bowl feeders 12 and 16 and bowl fed and linearly fed in steps S2 and S22 by the linear feeders 13 and 17 connected to the bowl feeders 12 and 16. As such, the bowl feeders 12 and 16 and the linear feeders 13 and 17 may include the convergence cup 2 accommodated by the bowl 200 and 601 and the vibration means 201 and 602 in FIGS. 9, 10, 12, and 13. When the bulb spacers 3 are discharged one by one, the linear spacers 13 and 17, which are similarly constituted by the vibration means 301 and 702 and the linear feeder plates 300 and 701, are continuously flowed in a row. In the case of the convergence cup (2), the size of the convergence cup (2) is larger than the bulb spacer (3) is limited because the number can be accommodated in the bowl 200 may be provided with a separate refill device (11) in FIGS. The refilling device 11 includes a hopper 100 capable of storing a large amount of convergence cup 2, a flow guide 102 of the convergence cup 2 communicated with the lower end of the hopper 100, It comprises a vibrating means 101, the vibrating means 101 by the detection signal when there is no convergence cup (2) on the bottom of the bowl 200 by the Tachiba 204 and the touch sensor 203. This operation causes the convergence cup 2 to flow through the flow guide 102. In order to prevent the convergence cup 2 from flowing excessively from the hopper 100 into the flow guide 101, an overflow preventing plate 103 is installed on the top of the flow guide 101 as shown in FIG. 8. Can be.

In the case of the convergence cup 2 through the linear feeding step (step S2 and step S22) in FIG. 2, the convergence cup 2 is the positioner 540 of the welding assembly and inspection line 15 in the positioning step (step S3). First, the position of the convergence cup 2 is set so that the position can be set through the electron beam passing hole 4. Also, in step S4, the welding assembly and inspection line 15 is loaded into the initial positioner 540.

That is, the convergence cup 2 continuously fed from the linear feeder 13 in a row as shown in FIG. 11, which is the right side view of FIGS. 9 and 9, has a plunger reciprocating by the air cylinder 401 at its exit. By advancing 402, the driving roller 404 and the driven roller 405 are engaged with each other to rotate together when the driving roller 404 rotates. At this time, the other convergence cup 2 is in the standby state at the outlet of the linear feeder 13, and when the plunger 402 is backward, the outlet is opened so that one convergence cup 2 can be discharged, The above operation is repeated.

During the rotation, when the position of the electron beam through hole 4 is confirmed by the optical sensor 406, the driving roller 404 immediately stops by the confirmation signal, and the suction bar 410 is waiting on the upper portion. Is inserted into the convergence cup 2 in advance of the air cylinder 408 and brought into a vacuum state through the vacuum hose 411, the convergence cup 2 is attached to the adsorption bar 410, and then the air cylinder As the 408 retracts and the air cylinder 407 retracts, the convergence cup 2 is positioned above the positioner 540 of the first station ST1 of the weld assembly and inspection line 15. At this time, when the air cylinder 408 is advanced and the vacuum state of the vacuum hose 411 is released at the same time, the convergence cup 2 has a positioning pin protruding from the upper end of the positioner 540 with the electron beam of the convergence cup 2. It is loaded while being inserted into the through hole (4). The connecting fixture 408 is a fixing device for fixing the air cylinder 408 to the connecting rod of the air cylinder 407.

In this way, the convergence cup 2 having completed the loading operation is transferred one step through the welding assembly and inspection line 15 to perform a predetermined process at each station ST1 to ST9 and be discharged.

In the welding assembly and inspection apparatus according to the present invention in the welding assembly and inspection line 15, a positioner 540 is disposed at each of the stations ST1 to ST9, and the plurality of positioners 540 are moved up during the process execution time. Then, it is held in the rising position, and then in the down state, the down state (step S5) is maintained for the transfer time to transfer to the next stations ST1 to ST9. For example, in FIG. 2, after the convergence cup 2 is loaded, the positioner 540 is lowered (step S5) and is moved to the welding station ST5 in step S6. However, in FIG. 3 and below, three steps are interposed between welding station ST5 and loading station ST1, and it shows that another process may be performed. For example, inspection or waiting process of the convergence cup 2 itself is mentioned.

4 to 6 disassemble the positioner 540 of the welding assembly and inspection line 15, its up-down device and the transfer means. In FIG. 4, the transfer bar 551 shown in FIG. 6 is shown in dashed-dotted line and in FIG. 5 in a removed state. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a positioner 540 is disposed at each of the stations ST1 to ST8, and the positioner 540 is disposed up and down via an up-down connecting rod 511 by up-down cams 532 to 535 installed at a lower portion thereof. Up and down along a predetermined cam diagram. The final station ST9 is provided with a knockout-bar 540 'which is fixed to the positioner 540 of the previous station ST8 and moves up and down together, and is transferred to the station ST9 when it is up after transfer. The assembled and inspected convergence cup and bulb spacer assembly 1 is discharged from the transfer means into the eject suit.

Cam diagrams of the up-down cams 532-535 are shown in FIG. 19 as an example. In FIG. 19, the up-down cam diagram C / C UP / DOWN of the convergence cup 2 is down during the transfer T of the conversion cup 2 in the transfer diagram C / C TRANSFER of the convergence cup 2. Must be up (e.g., between 9 and 360 degrees) and up at the time of untransfer UT for return (between &thetas; 1 and < RTI ID = 0.0 > 5). ≪ / RTI > It will have to stay up for the time required to do so (between θ1 and θ8).

This up state is required, for example, during the transfer and pushing and welding time of the plurality of bulb spacers 3 in the welding station ST5. That is, in the welding station ST5, the positioner 540 is connected to the up-down connecting rod 511 via the step motor 550, as shown in FIG. 3, and C / C ROTATING and R / S TRANSFER in FIG. As shown in the PUSHING, WELDING diagram, the positioner 540 is configured to be intermittently rotated at a predetermined rotational angle and weld the bulb spacer 3 at each rotational angle, respectively. After welding, it goes down. The stations ST6 to ST7 may be appropriately selected between θ1 and θ8 during the time required for the inspection process, and thus, a cam diagram may be selected that varies according to the characteristics of each process. In FIG. 4, fixing plates 512 are provided to fix two or more up-down connecting rods so that the stations ST2 to ST4 follow the cam diagram of one up-down cam 533, and similarly in stations ST6 to ST8. Fixing plates 512 and 513 are installed.

On the other hand, each connecting rod 511 is configured to reduce the resistance through the rolling motion by contacting the cam surface of the up-down cams (532 to 535) with the driven roller 531 at the lower end, the up-down cams (532 to 535) The handle 22 is fixed to the shaft 530 of the up-down cams 532-535 to adjust the point of action of the. Accordingly, the point of action of the cam can be easily adjusted when it differs from other movements, and when the point of action of any one of the cams differs, the up-down cams 532 to 535 each have a bolt 532 on the shaft 530. And 535 to be assembleably fixed, the mutual relationship can be adjusted.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the down stroke may be configured to ensure the down stroke by tension springs 522 and 524 in addition to its own weight during the down stroke, and the compression springs 521 and 523 to prevent excessive rise due to inertia during up stroke. It may be installed between the guide blocks 502 and 503 fixed to the fixing plate 501 and the connecting rod 511.

5 and 6 show the transfer means. The transfer means has a pair of transfer bars 551 fixed by the reciprocating block 553 at predetermined intervals that the positioner 540 can up and down, guided by the guide block 554, The convergence cup 2 is transferred by reciprocating by the interval. In the transfer bar 551, the convergence cup seating grooves 552 are formed inward to each other so that the convergence cup 2 is held at a predetermined position when the positioner 540 is down by the up-down cams 532 to 535. It is inserted into the seating groove 552. As such, the convergence cup 2 is transferred from the seated groove 552 to the seated groove 552 and then up at a predetermined position by the positioner 540 to perform a predetermined process.

7 shows an example of a reciprocating mechanism of the transfer bar 551 and the reciprocating block 553 using a cam and a spring. A tension spring 555 is installed at one end of the reciprocating block 553 to move to the right in the drawing, and the other end is connected to one end of the driven lever 558 via a chain 556 and a guide sprocket 557. The other end of the driven lever 558 is fixed to the frame by the shaft 559, and the transfer cam 560, which rotates together with the shaft 561 in the middle, contacts the driven lever 558 at the bottom thereof, By rotating 558 in accordance with the cam diagram, the reciprocating block 553 moves to the left against the elastic force of the tension spring 555 via the chain 556. In the case where the transfer means has such a structure and the same axis as the axis 530 of the up-down cam or the same rotation as the axis 530, the cam curve of FIG. 19 is illustrated by the C / C TRANSFER of FIG. 19. In addition to this structure, a conventional air cylinder may be used as the transfer means.

In FIG. 2, the bulb spacer 3 is fed in a continuous alignment state from the linear feeder 17 in step S22, and then the bulb spacer rotator of the rotating device 18 at the end of the linear feeder plate 701 in FIGS. 12 and 13. The solenoid 703 and the stopper 704 operate to flow to 801 and not to flow one or more of the bulb spacers from the ends of the linear feeder plate 701 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 15. Stop the flow of 3). Thereafter, when the rotary cylinder 802 rotates in step S23, the rotator 801 rotates together to rotate the bulb spacer 3 by 90 degrees in an upright state, and at this time, the pick-up finger 810 of the air chuck 811 By operation, the bulb spacer 3 in an upright state is gripped as shown in Figs. 12 to 14 (step S24).

After being held by the pick-up finger 810 in this manner, the rotator 801 returns to its original state, and as shown in FIG. 12, the air chuck 811 is positioned at the position 811 ′, that is, the welding assembly and inspection line 15. Is transferred to the welding station ST5 by the reciprocating means shown in FIG. 12 (step S25), the bulb spacer 3 in the upright state gripped by the pick-up finger 810 by moving in this way is shown in FIG. It is adjacent to the side wall surface of predetermined angular position of the convergence cup 2 located on the positioner 540 of the up state of ST5. In this state, as shown in FIG. 16, the bulb spacer 3 is pushed to the convergence cup 2 side by the pusher device 30, and the air spacer 811 is released to thereby release the bulb spacer 3 from the pick-up finger 810. And close contact with the convergence cup 2 further; In this state, the pick-up finger 810 returns to its original position with the air chuck 811 and is in a standby state for picking up the next bulb spacer 3 (step S7 '). That is, the pusher 33 presses down the bulb spacer 3 by advancing the air cylinder 32 so as to be in close contact with the convergence cup 2 on the positioner 540 of the welding station ST5 in FIG. 16. When the 811 is released, the bulb spacer 3 is detached from the pick-up finger 810 and comes into close contact with the convergence cup 2, and the pick-up finger 810 from which the bulb spacer 3 is removed is picked up and transferred to the device 19. Will return to the original position, that is, the pickup position. The fixing step (step S7 ') may further include a means for reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocating movement in addition to the reciprocating movement in order to ensure the separation of the pick-up finger 810 and return to the original position. have. The reciprocating means not shown may be a conventional reciprocating means such as an air cylinder or the like, and may also be constituted by the transfer cam 559 and the spring 555 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

As described above, in the fixed state in which the bulb spacer 3 is pushed to the convergence cup 2, the welding device 20 maintains the up position of the positioner 540 as described above. Fire the bulb spacer 3 to the convergence cup 2 (step 38 in FIG. 2), and release the bulb spacer 3 when the welding is completed (step S8 ′), to the stem motor 550. By rotation by a predetermined angular displacement (step S9). Then, in step S10, it is determined by counting whether the previous bulb spacer 3 is welded. If the previous bulb spacer 3 is not welded, the process returns to step S7 'again. 'To step S10 is repeated. Thus, steps S21 to S25 for supplying the bulb spacer 3 are carried out by placing the desired number of bulb spacers while transferring the convergence cup 2 onto the positioner 540 and raising the position 540. And (3). That is, as shown in the B / S TRANSFER, PUSHING, WELDING diagram and C / C ROTATING diagram in FIG. 19, the transfer of the bulb spacer 3 during the up time (θ1 to θ8) of the C / C UP / DOWN diagram is shown. , The pushing and the welding and the rotation of the convergence cup 2 to a predetermined angular position, when the N bulb spacers 3 are attached to one convergence cup 2, are repeated N times, and further, the air When the transfer of the bulb spacer 3 together with the chuck 811 is completed, pushing is performed by the pusher device 30 and the return of the air chuck 811, that is, the untransferring UT is performed. At the time when the pushing is completed, the welding W1 to WN is performed. Therefore, in consideration of such a timing chart, the controller performs control by the controller or transfers the bulb spacer 3 to the welding station by the transfer cam 559 and the spring 555 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In such a configuration, the cam surface curve and the cam curve of the transfer cam should be selected in consideration of the B / S TRANSFER diagram of FIG. 19 as an example. In the C / C ROTATING diagram of FIG. 19, the rotation of the bulb spacer 3 can be directly performed at the transfer position of the convergence cup 2. 2) It is not necessary to rotate R1, and the convergence when the bulb spacer 3 is welded at each position where the convergence cup 2 and the positioner 540 have not returned to their original state at the final rotation RN. It will be necessary to return the convergence cup 2 and the positioner 540 to their original state before the down start time θ8 of the cup 2.

After the welding of the previous bulb spacer 3 is completed in step S10 in FIG. 2, the positioner 540 is lowered in step S11, and the convergence cup 2 is positioned in the seating groove 552 of the transfer bar 551. (2) is transferred to the inspection stations ST6 and ST7 by the rotation of the transfer cam 550 and the action of the tension spring 555 (step S12). In the inspection stations ST6 and ST7, the welding assembly state of the bulb spacer 3 to the convergence cup 2 is measured by the height inspection apparatus 40 and the inclination angle inspection apparatus 50 as shown in Figs. It is checked (step S13). In FIG. 17, when the positioner 540 is up by the rotation of the up-down cam 535 as described above from the transfer bar 551, the contact block 41 is positioned at a position corresponding to the height of each bulb spacer 3. By the contact with the contact block 41, the clearance sensor 42 determines the amount and the fire of the height of the bulb spacer 3. In FIG. 18, the inclination angle inspection device 50 includes an insertion block 51 and a defect detection sensor 52, and the insertion block 51 has an insertion groove 51 ′ at a position where the bulb spacer 3 can be inserted. If the bulb spacer 3 is not inserted into the insertion groove 51 'when the positioner 540 is up, the defect detection sensor 52 treats the defect as defective. On the other hand, after the positioner 540 is up, the height inspection device 40 and the inclination angle inspection device 50 are also lowered and inspected as shown by the arrows in Figs.

When the inspection process is completed in this way, the convergence cup 2 is transferred again and unloaded in step S14. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the first standby at the station ST8 is transferred to the station ST9 and then discharged to the eject chute 21 by the eject bar 540 ′.
