[Embodiment] φ (Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 are views showing an embodiment of the feeding of parts for workpiece handling according to the present invention. • As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the workpiece feeding device for workpiece conveyance includes a linear feeding unit 1 2 ′ that moves the workpieces W such as electronic components in a line, and supplies the workpiece W to the straight line. Feeding section i 2 spherical feeding section 11 . φ Parts feeders shown in Figs. 1 to 3 are the types of the workpiece feeding unit w and the linear feeding unit 12 that carries the workpiece in the next step. The arrow in Fig. 1 indicates the workpiece. W's handling direction. The central portion lib of the spherical feeding portion 11 protrudes upward, and the workpiece W is conveyed upward in the spiral portion at the edge portion, and is sent to the workpiece conveyance locus 1 1 a of the linear feed 1 2 . The workpiece transport track 1 1 a is formed in a spiral shape over a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Next, the workpiece separating mechanism 1 which is a main component of the present invention will be described. The knot portion of the interdigitator 10 is rotated by -6 - 1309221 . - (4) The trajectory 11a of the innermost circumference of the spherical feed portion 11 is set to have a diameter slightly smaller than the width of the workpiece W, constituting the air vent 2 Through hole. The air vent 20 is connected to the air supply unit & via the air tube 21, and the air supply unit 22 can continuously or intermittently supply air to the air vent 20 . Further, the workpiece stopper portion I5 is disposed above the air ejection port 20. The workpiece block d 15 has a cylinder body 17' as a mesh support body having an upper end and a lower end opening, and a net body 16 provided at an upper end opening of the cylindrical body 17. The cartridge η is supported by the spherical feeding portion via a support portion (not shown)! . In this case, the workpiece separating mechanism has an air blast port 20 connected to the air supply portion '22, and a workpiece blocking portion 15 formed of the mesh support body and the net body 16. Further, the net body 16 is fixed to the upper end opening of the cylindrical body I by the fastening ring 18. Further, the workpiece w ejected upward by the compressed air from the air jet port 20 enters the cylindrical body 17 from below, and falls into the spherical feeding portion 11 after contacting the upper mesh body 16 Φ. In the first to third figures, if the workpiece is continuously or intermittently ejected by the compressed air above the air vent 2, the separated workpiece w in the normal state or the workpiece w in the combined state is once sprayed. To the top. The workpiece w that has been sprayed is separated from the mesh body 16 provided in the cylindrical body 17, and is collided with the impact of the workpiece W which is dropped on the spherical feed portion 11 by this. Further, in order to prevent the dropped workpiece W from being ejected upward again by the air jet from the air jet port 20, the jet direction from the air jet port 20 is inclined toward the side of the track Π a. Moreover, in order to avoid collision of the workpiece w

That is, it is considered that, when the ball-shaped feeding portion 11 of the net body 16 is collided, if the repulsive force of the net body 16 is too strong, and W falls, the workpiece W is injured, so the net body is low. The upper end of the strong cylinder 17 is open. Next, 'the workpiece W that has been put into the spherical feeding portion 1 of the present embodiment having such a configuration is trajectory 11 from the center portion 11b to the peripheral portion by the vibration of the unsourced portion; the spherical feeding portion 11 The spiral locus 11a is dropped into the return feeding portion 13 in the case of the posture or shape of the workpiece w conveyed by the vibration in the 12° linear feeding portion 12. When the workpieces W are joined to each other in the spherical feeding portion i!, they are out of balance during the passage of the trajectory 11a, and are moved toward the trajectory 1 1 a side of the falling portion 1 1 ' from the center U b toward the periphery. A portion of the air vent 20 is provided as a portion of the trajectory n a of the spherical feeding portion 丨1. Therefore, the air vent 20 of the trajectory 11a in the spherical portion of the workpiece is being sucked by the compressed air from the air vent 20 upwardly into the cylinder 17 of the workpiece receiving portion I from below, contacting the workpiece W. When in the combined state, the impact stress is applied to the work section', and the workpiece W is separated under the probability of being heard. Further, when the material feeding portion 1 1 is dropped, stress is also applied in the same manner, and further, the structure of the fiber material is sent back to the workpiece: the force is opened to the circle. : Vibration shown in the figure a. After being placed in the straight feeding section, it is not normal: usually, the ball feeding is 1' repeated. 'The workpiece separating machine W is set at the top: W. The workpiece mesh body 16 is combined with the w w w spheroidal so that the combined work -8 - 1309221 - (6) pieces W are separated. Further, since the workpiece W that has been dropped is again ejected by the air jet, the conveyance of the workpiece W is delayed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the air jet direction from the air jet port 20 is slightly toward the center side of the spherical feed portion 1 1 . That is, the right side of the track 1 1 a is inclined. In this case, the same effect is obtained even if the air jet port 20 is inclined forward in the traveling direction of the workpiece W of the track 1 1 a. However, if the compressed air is continuously supplied from the air supply unit 22, the workpiece w is often pressed against the inside of the cylindrical body 17, particularly against the portion of the net body 16, so that the compressed air is intermittently sent to The air jet port 20' repeatedly efficiently ejects and drops the workpiece W, thereby further improving the separation efficiency of the workpiece W. Considering the case of the workpiece W which is easily injured, the material of the mesh body 6 is composed of a soft fiber material. Further, in order to reduce the force at which the workpiece W collides with the net body 16 and falls toward the spherical feeding portion 11 due to its repulsive force, it is preferable that the net body 16 is placed in a low tension state. #第二' By the fourth figure, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Fig. 4(a), the component feeder 25 for workpiece conveyance includes a linear feed unit 12 and a return feed unit 13, and the return feed unit 13 is connected to the linear feed unit 2, and is received from the straight line. The workpiece W that is dropped in the feeding portion 12, for example, in a direction that does not match or has a different shape due to a connection or the like, is returned to the straight feeding portion 1 2 side. The component feeder 25 composed of the linear feed unit 1 and the return feeding unit 13 has its own supply capability, and expands the trajectory 12a and the trajectory l3a shown in Fig. 4(b), and holds a plurality of thereon. Workpiece w, one by one -9 - 1309221 (7) Type of supply. The arrow in Fig. 4 indicates the conveyance direction of the workpiece w, where the 'return lock portion 13 has the workpiece conveyance track 13 3 a, and the track 13a is provided with the air jet port 2 , and the workpiece is blocked by the air jet port 2 Department 1 5. In Fig. 4, the air jets constituting the workpiece separating mechanism 1 and the workpiece collision receiving portion 15 have the same structure as the air jet 20 and the workpiece blocking portion 15 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 . φ Even in Fig. 4, the air from the air vent 2 间歇 can intermittently eject the trajectory 1 3 a along the return feeding portion 13 to the workpiece w in the effective separation state, and then go straight Feed 1 2 side supply. - Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the workpiece separating mechanism 1. An air vent 20 is provided in the feeding portion U, and a blocking portion 15 is provided facing the air vent 20. The workpiece stopper portion 5 has a mesh mounting plate (mesh support) 30, an opening portion 30a of the φ mesh mounting plate 30, and a net body 31 for fixing the upper portion of the mouth portion 30a by the net attaching ring 32. Further, one end of the mesh mounting plate 30 of the workpiece receiving portion is fixed to the outer periphery of the spherical portion 11, so that the net body 31 faces the air jet port 20. In the above description, one workpiece separating mechanism 1 in the component feeder (spherical feeding portion, feeding portion) will be described, but a plurality of the workpiece separating mechanisms 1 may be provided. Further, the pair of air jet ports 20 and the workpiece blocking portion 15 of the guard separating mechanism 1 are described in a one-to-one manner, but the workpiece blocking portion 15 body 16 can be enlarged to form a plurality of air jet ports 20. In the upper part, the 20-port compressed material section is placed in a net that is required to open the feed line. - (8) 1309221 [Simplified illustration] Figure 1 shows the part feeder of the present invention.
