Thereafter, if the mark inspection stage 13E is inspected, the Kawasaki (four) component ^

When the flag is used, the control means determines the A to I level or the defective product for each of the Led elements 1 based on the result, and the LED element i is transported to the discharge stage 13F. First, when the LED element 1 that is transported to the discharge stage 13F and Tpn- finds σ i is judged to be of the A level, the control means controls the upper driving and the driving means 22 of the storage unit 5 to make the first sliding plate 2 1 A moves from the standby position to the third stop position. On the other hand, in the first transfer means 6, the tray suction cup 45 of the first adsorption head 41 is retracted to the upper side of the element adsorption cup 44 by the lifting means #, and is separated by μ, +β. The upper first moving means 42 moves the first adsorption head 41 above the discharge stage 3F. Thereafter, the right first adsorption head 41 is lowered; the -7 町 项 item 41 is lowered and the sputum is sucked and held by the absorbing cup 44 to be held by the first moving means 42 in the first part! The adsorption head 41 is raised, X; Y is moved and lowered, and the coffee element i is housed in the first column sorting tray 4 of the first slider 〇 Λ 1 位于 1 位于 Α 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21

Next, if, for example, the LED TL 1 that is determined to be the level D π harsh double U is located at the discharge stage 13 F, the control means 技 卞 卞 卞 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述 上述1Α Move to the standby position and make the 3rd, 3rd) 丨ρ必* 1 : The music board 2 1 C moves to the 2nd stop position (state of Figure 3). In this way, the classification cup corresponding to the level D is made to be the same as the Zhe, 41 ^ and the cheek tray 4 is located below the movement range of the first adsorption head 41, and the above-mentioned transfer means 6 is adsorbed and discharged. The LED components of the cutting table 13F! You will be able to take it from the third row of trays 2 I C order 15 201202110 in the second column of the sorting tray 4. Here, when each of the sorting trays 4 placed on the first to fifth slides 21A to 21E accommodates the first LED element 1, the control means confirms the offset of the sorting tray 4. When the control means that the first adsorption head 41 that adsorbs and holds the LEd element i is lowered at a low speed and the sorting tray 4 is placed on the slide plate without offset, the LED element 1 is accommodated in the classification without resistance. In the accommodating portion of the tray 4, the above-described first detecting means 49 does not operate, although the above-mentioned component absorbing cup 44 is slightly raised by the i-th absorber 48. On the other hand, when the sorting tray 4 is downloaded and placed on the slide plate in an offset state, since the LED element 1 interferes with the accommodating portion of the sorting tray 4, the squeegee suction cup 44 is used by the second absorbing absorber 48. On the other hand, the above-described first detecting means 49 is activated. Therefore, the control means outputs a warning indicating that the sorting tray 4 is offset by an alarm means (not shown), and the operator manually corrects the offset of the sorting tray 4. Thereafter, the control means controls the storage compartment 5 based on the level of the led element i located on the discharge stage 13F, and moves the slide plate on which the sorting tray 4 corresponding to the level of the coffee element is placed to the second and second moving positions. The control unit: the first transfer means 6 causes the LED element to pick up the tray 4. The control means stores the positions of the "..." team command < LliD component i of the Zhao County, for example, if it is in the first! The tray 4 on the skateboard 21a receives the gj fixed uncle seven Τϋ τ ^ knife. The LED number of the 疋 之 _ 6 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED After that, if the figure in the above-mentioned code of the 21st slab 21A is φ 夕 楚, all 5 sorting trays < the K 4 in the first column of Fig. 1 contain the required number of LEDs, Thereafter, the i-th slide plate 2 is controlled to be in the second column, and the five-piece sorting cassette 2 is moved to the position. This time, the knife-type tray 4 is housed in the LED element i. Furthermore, when the same level τρ - "" main & D pieces 1 are continuously supplied to the discharge cutting 13F, it is not necessary to spell out the loading table β every 1st 5th slide 21Α~21Ε The position may be estimated to be the first moving position or the second moving position. After b: ' For example, if the first skateboard is all 1st. The empty sorting tray 4 of the empty tray supply means 7 is superimposed on the sorting tray 4 which receives the ancient coffee and the coffee tray i. Specifically, the control means controls the storage compartment 5 so that the storage means 5 All of the fifth and fifth slides 21A to 21E are moved to the standby position, and the ith transfer means 6' is controlled to lower the tray suction cup 45 below the component suction cup 44 by the lifter of the second adsorption head 41. Then, the control means uses the tray suction cup 45 of the i-th transfer means 6 to adsorb and hold the uppermost sorting tray 4 of the empty sorting trays 4 overlapped by the empty tray supply means 7, and to classify the empty托 = rises above the first slide 21A. Thus, the control means makes the first slide 21A Moving to the first moving position, the empty sorting tray 4 is superposed on the upper portion of the sorting tray 4 in which the LED element 1 is housed by the first transfer means 6 in this state. At this time, the control means stores the respective slides. 17 of the sorting trays 4 201202110 placed, and the stroke amount of the first suction head 41 of each of the sections when the sorting tray 4 is overlapped is registered in advance. Therefore, the second sorting tray 4 is superimposed on the i-th skateboard When the first sorting tray 4 is placed on the first and second sorting trays 4, the first adsorption head 41 that adsorbs and holds the sorting tray 4 is lowered only by a predetermined stroke. At this time, the first sheet sorting tray 4 and the second sheet are When the sorting tray 4 is placed without any deviation, the first adsorption head 4丨 is only lowered by the above-described set stroke, and when the second sheet sorting tray 4 is superimposed on the first sheet sorting tray 4 without impedance, the tray is used for suction. The cup 45 is slightly raised by the support member 51, and the second detecting means 52 is actuated. When the first detecting means 52 is actuated only after the first suction head 41 is lowered by a predetermined stroke as described above, the control means determines the first piece classification. The tray 4 is placed without offset, and the second piece The trays 4 are normally overlapped. On the other hand, when the first sheet sorting tray 4 and the second sheet sorting tray 4 are downloaded in an offset state, only the set stroke is lowered in the first adsorption head 4丨. The second sorting tray 4 interferes with the first sheet sorting tray 4, and the second detecting means 52 is actuated. The control means is to operate the second detecting means 52 before the first suction head 41 is lowered by only a predetermined stroke as described above. At this time, it is determined that the first sheet sorting tray 4 is placed offset from the second sheet sorting tray 4, and a required warning is generated. On the other hand, for some reason, the first sheet sorting tray 4 is not placed on the skateboard. In the case of the above, even if the first adsorption head 4 1 is only lowered by the above-described set stroke, the second detecting means 5 2 does not operate. 18 201202110 The control means determines that the first sheet sorting tray 4 is not placed on the slide plate even if the first suction head 41 is lowered by a predetermined stroke and the second detecting means 5 2 is not actuated as described above. The required warning. When the empty sorting tray 4 is overlapped on the upper portion of the five sorting trays 4 in the first row of the first slide 21A that has moved to the first moving position, the first slide 21A is moved to the second moving position this time. Similarly, the empty sorting tray 4 is overlapped in the upper part of the five sorting trays 4 in the second column. Further, for example, when the predetermined number of [ED components are in the five-piece sorting tray 4 corresponding to the level D in the second row of the third slider 21C, the control means also moves the third slider 2 1 C to In the second moving position, the empty sorting tray 4 is superposed on the upper portion of the five sorting trays 4 corresponding to the second column of the level D. On the other hand, the control means controls the empty tray supply means 7 to cause the stage 62 to rise only by the multi-stage magenta 63, so that the classification tray 4 which is placed in an empty state superimposed on the stage 62 is located at the most The sorting tray 4 of the upper section maintains a predetermined height.

Further, by repeating the above-described operations, the first slide plate 21A is superimposed on the ten sorting trays 4, or any of the second to fifth slides 21B to 21E is superimposed on the five sorting trays 4, and the control means is made The item sorting device 2 is stopped. Further, when the worker removes the sorting tray which has been overlapped by the predetermined number, and replaces one empty sorting tray 4, the above-described operation is resumed to classify the LED elements 1. At this time, the classification tray 4 is determined to have no offset by the first detecting means 49 and the second 19 201202110 detecting means 52, and when the first LED element 收容 is accommodated in the overlapping sorting tray 4, it is not necessary. The above-described second adsorption head 41 is lowered at a low speed as described above. When the sorting tray 4 of the empty tray supply means 7 is not present, the control means also stops the article sorting means 2, and the worker replenishes the empty sorting tray 4. As described above, according to the article sorting device 2 of the above-described embodiment, the plurality of first to fifth slide plates 21A to 21E can be provided in the storage case 5, and the plurality of sorting trays 4 can be placed on the plurality of sorting trays 4, respectively. The smaller space elements 1 are classified into a plurality of categories. 4, a predetermined number of led elements L are overlapped and supplied by the empty tray, so that the item sorting device 2 can be extended as long as the required sorting tray member 1' is due to the sorting tray 4 Keep empty sorting tray 4 running time. Here, since the empty sorting tray 4 is superimposed by transferring the first adsorption head 41 of the LED element 1, it is not necessary to provide another transport means for transporting the empty sorting tray 4, and it is possible to perform empty at low cost. / Supplement to the sorting tray 4.

Further, the storage tray 5 moves the i-th to fifth slides 21 to 21E from the standby position to the i-th and second movement positions, whereby the sorting tray 4 of the slide is exposed row by column, and the i-th transfer is performed. In the first step of the means [the adsorption head ^ ^ movement range is set within the range of the exposed i-column classification tray 4, the movement range of the first adsorption head 41 can be minimized, and the classification can be effectively performed. 20 201202110 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the LED component 1 is transferred as a product, but the object to be transferred is of course not limited to the LED material, and the number of the components is 1. The inspection of the LED element 1 in the means 3 is directed to a girth-inner valley, and is of course not limited to the above embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, five 帛i to fifth slides 21A to 21E are provided, but the number is not limited to this number, and the number of sorting trays 4 placed on each slide is not limited to the longitudinal direction. 5 [2 pieces in the horizontal direction. For example, when there are three in the horizontal direction, the driving means 22 can cause the slide plate to be positioned at the i-th stop position where the i-th row sorting tray 4 is exposed, the second stop position where the second-row sorting tray 4 is exposed, and the third The row sorting tray 4 is exposed at the third stop position. Further, in the above embodiment, the first transfer means 6 is the first! The movement range of the adsorption head 4! is the range of the column sorting tray 4 which is exposed, but it is also possible to set the movement range to the range of the plurality of sorting trays 4 of two or more columns within the range in which the working time does not become long. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the first transfer carrier & 6 adsorption protection means may be manually placed on the respective of the fifth to fifth slides 21A to 2ie without the worker manually placing the T trays 4 in advance. The tray 4 held in the classification is placed on the trays 21A to 21E. [Circular Simple Description] Fig. 1 is a plan view of the article sorting device of the present embodiment.
