本發明是關於液晶用的玻璃基板或半導體晶圓等薄板狀工件出入保管庫用的多關節機械人。The present invention relates to a multi-joint robot for entering and leaving a thin plate-shaped workpiece such as a glass substrate or a semiconductor wafer for liquid crystal.

習知的多關節機械人,已提案有藉由肩關節部旋轉中心和台座旋轉中心的偏置以在轉動台座時可讓多關節機械人的旋繞半徑變小(例如,參照專利文獻1)。Conventional multi-joint robots have proposed offsetting of the rotation center of the shoulder joint portion and the rotation center of the pedestal to make the radius of the multi-joint robot's winding radius smaller when the pedestal is rotated (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

習知的多關節機械人1,如第6圖所示,具備有由關節部3、4、5連結成可旋轉,由旋轉驅動源傳達旋轉力可進行所期望之動作的二組多關節臂2,構成為將設置在二組多關節臂2基端的關節部3的旋轉中心軸配置在上下(或軸方向)。As shown in Fig. 6, the conventional multi-joint robot 1 includes two sets of multi-joint arms that are coupled to each other by the joint portions 3, 4, and 5 so as to be rotatable and that can transmit a rotational force by a rotational drive source to perform a desired operation. 2.

另外,習知的多關節機械人1,具備有可使設置在多關節臂2的支撐構件10上下移動的移動構件11(以下,稱移動機構11),可調整多關節臂2的上下位置。此外,上下移動機構11的台座13是設置成可轉動,可使多關 節機械人1旋繞改變方向。Further, the conventional multi-joint robot 1 includes a moving member 11 (hereinafter referred to as a moving mechanism 11) that can move the support member 10 provided on the multi-joint arm 2 up and down, and can adjust the vertical position of the multi-joint arm 2. In addition, the pedestal 13 of the up-and-down moving mechanism 11 is arranged to be rotatable, so that multiple levels can be The robot 1 twists and turns to change direction.

再加上,習知的多關節機械人1,其台座13是設置成可朝圖中箭頭符號Y所示方向,即可朝分別正交於手部8移動方向和支撐構件10上下移動方向的方向移動在基座台14上藉此可調整上下移動機構11的位置。In addition, the conventional multi-joint robot 1 has its pedestal 13 disposed in a direction indicated by an arrow Y in the figure, which can be orthogonal to the moving direction of the hand 8 and the upward and downward movement direction of the support member 10, respectively. The direction is moved on the base table 14 whereby the position of the vertical movement mechanism 11 can be adjusted.

此外,習知的多關節機械人1所具備的二組多關節臂2,例如是具有複數的關節部,即多關節機械人1是構成為水平關節式機械人°本實施形態的多關節臂2,具備:第一臂6(以下,稱上腕6),和與上腕6連結的第二臂7(以下,稱前腕7),及與前腕7連結可保持著工件9的手部8。Further, the two sets of the multi-joint arms 2 included in the conventional multi-joint robot 1 have, for example, a plurality of joint portions, that is, the multi-joint robot 1 is configured as a horizontal joint type robot. 2, comprising: a first arm 6 (hereinafter referred to as an upper wrist 6), a second arm 7 coupled to the upper wrist 6 (hereinafter referred to as a front wrist 7), and a hand 8 that is coupled to the front wrist 7 to hold the workpiece 9.

上腕6的基端是透過驅動軸連結在支撐構件10,構成可轉動的關節部3(以下,稱肩關節部3)。該肩關節部3是成為多關節臂2的基端關節部3。此外,上腕6前端和前腕7基端是透過驅動軸連結著,構成可轉動的關節部4(以下,稱肘關節部4)。另外,前腕7前端和手部8是透過驅動軸連結著,構成可轉動的關節部5(以下,稱手關節部5)。該等構件是配置成可使肩關節部3的旋轉中心軸位於同軸上成對面配置在上下方向。The proximal end of the upper wrist 6 is coupled to the support member 10 via a drive shaft to constitute a rotatable joint portion 3 (hereinafter referred to as a shoulder joint portion 3). The shoulder joint portion 3 is a proximal end joint portion 3 that serves as the multi-joint arm 2 . Further, the distal end of the upper wrist 6 and the proximal end of the front wrist 7 are coupled via a drive shaft to constitute a rotatable joint portion 4 (hereinafter referred to as an elbow joint portion 4). Further, the front end of the front wrist 7 and the hand 8 are coupled to each other via a drive shaft, and constitute a rotatable joint portion 5 (hereinafter referred to as a hand joint portion 5). The members are arranged such that the central axes of rotation of the shoulder joints 3 are arranged in pairs on the coaxial side in the vertical direction.

多關節臂2是利用未圖示的旋轉驅動源轉動肩關節部3和關節部4和手關節部5,朝工件取出、供給方向移動手部8。此時,多關節臂2,其機構是執行伸縮動作讓手部8朝一方向直線移動於伸直上腕6和前腕7的伸長位置,及上腕6和前腕7成為摺疊狀態的收縮位置。The multi-joint arm 2 rotates the shoulder joint portion 3, the joint portion 4, and the hand joint portion 5 by a rotational driving source (not shown), and moves the hand 8 toward the workpiece and in the supply direction. At this time, the multi-joint arm 2 has a mechanism in which the telescopic operation is performed to linearly move the hand 8 in one direction to the extended position of the upper wrist 6 and the front wrist 7, and the upper wrist 6 and the front wrist 7 are in a folded state.

於此,習知的多關節機械人1是設計成於第7圖所示的多關節臂2縮回位置,可使手部8所保持的工件9中心和台座13的旋轉中心一致。再加上,將肘關節部4的旋轉中心和台座13的旋轉中心針對手部8的移動方向偏移在正交方向使肘關節部4或手部8於台座13轉動時不會突出多關節機械人1周圍所需的最小區域圓15,因此能夠縮小多關節機械人1的旋繞半徑。Here, the conventional articulated robot 1 is designed to be retracted at the multi-joint arm 2 shown in Fig. 7, and the center of the workpiece 9 held by the hand 8 and the center of rotation of the pedestal 13 can be aligned. Further, the rotation center of the elbow joint portion 4 and the rotation center of the pedestal 13 are offset from the moving direction of the hand 8 in the orthogonal direction so that the elbow joint portion 4 or the hand portion 8 does not protrude when the shank 13 is rotated. The minimum area circle 15 required around the robot 1 can reduce the winding radius of the multi-joint robot 1 .

此外,習知的多關節機械人,提出一種電動機的旋轉是以皮帶傳達至差動減速機,以軸承支撐差動減速機的旋轉(例如,參照專利文獻2)。Further, a conventional multi-joint robot proposes that the rotation of the motor is transmitted to the differential speed reducer by a belt, and the rotation of the differential speed reducer is supported by the bearing (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).

習知多關節機械人的旋繞構造,如第8圖所示,馬達102是在大致圓筒狀的旋轉構件104的外圍部附近,安裝成倒立,利用其軸和結合於減速機構103輸入的驅動輸入軸193上所安裝的帶齒皮帶輪191、192和帶齒皮帶109運作旋轉驅動力的供給。減速機構103是安裝在固定構件105,旋轉構件104頂部是利用機械人的基座台117和螺栓116形成安裝,利用底部的軸承112旋轉自如地保持在固定構件105。As shown in Fig. 8, the motor 102 is mounted in an inverted state in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the substantially cylindrical rotating member 104, and its shaft and the drive input coupled to the speed reduction mechanism 103 are input. The toothed pulleys 191, 192 and the toothed belt 109 mounted on the shaft 193 operate the supply of the rotational driving force. The speed reduction mechanism 103 is attached to the fixing member 105, and the top of the rotating member 104 is attached by the base table 117 of the robot and the bolt 116, and is rotatably held by the fixing member 105 by the bearing 112 at the bottom.

液晶用玻璃基板或半導體晶圓等薄板狀工件出入保管庫用的多關節機械人隨著大型化的趨勢,處理基板片數也被要求增加的同時還被要求能以短時間進行處理。因此,對於多關節機械人的要求,不管基板配置用保管庫已經變高到達天花板所造成的設備本身大型化,將工件搬出入於保管庫的傳遞路程還是以較短為佳。即,若傳遞路程是構成從幾乎可高到天花板的傳遞路程至幾乎可低到貼地的傳遞路程時,則可讓保管庫配置更多的基板,因此對於多關節機械人的要求就希望能夠有效利用高度方向。A multi-joint robot for entering and leaving a thin plate-shaped workpiece such as a liquid crystal glass substrate or a semiconductor wafer has a tendency to increase in size, and the number of processed substrates is also required to be increased, and it is required to be processed in a short time. Therefore, in response to the demand of the multi-joint robot, it is preferable that the transfer distance of the workpiece to be moved into the storage is small, regardless of the size of the device itself that has become higher in the storage space for the substrate. That is, if the transfer path is a transfer path from almost high to the ceiling to a transfer path that is almost low to the ground, the storage can be configured with more substrates, so it is desirable for the multi-joint robot to Effective use of the height direction.

此外,讓多關節機械人達到高速、高精度也成為大課題。另一方面,大型化的設備,為了要維持周圍的乾淨無塵環境是需要龐大的設備投資,因此就希望能夠讓保管庫配置更多的基板,增加基板處理片數。基於此,也就希望多關節機械人能夠從上述高傳遞路程至低傳遞路程朝上下方向移動。In addition, it has become a big issue for multi-joint robots to achieve high speed and high precision. On the other hand, large-scale equipment requires a large investment in equipment in order to maintain a clean and dust-free environment. Therefore, it is desirable to allow more substrates to be placed in the storage and to increase the number of substrates processed. Based on this, it is also desired that the multi-joint robot can move in the up and down direction from the above high transmission path to the low transmission path.

另外,關於乾淨無塵度,為確保乾淨無塵度所使用的機械人需構成為機械人的內部不露出。因此,所使用的機械人驅動機構是要求需配置在機械人內部。In addition, regarding the cleanness and dustiness, the robot used to ensure cleanness and dustiness needs to be constructed so that the inside of the robot is not exposed. Therefore, the robot drive mechanism used is required to be disposed inside the robot.

此外,液晶基板或半導體晶圓的生產片數是逐年變多,為提高生產性,對於機械人就要求需提昇搬運工件數。然而,機械人因內含機械零件所以需要維修保養,維修保養時間對於搬運工件數的影響也很大,因此就希望機械人能夠容易維修保養。關於維修保養,理所當然是會有動力 傳達用部位的更換作業,更換作業最多的是減速機的更換,如何讓該減速機的更換能夠更加容易就成為課題。特別是在台座旋繞時,立柱或多關節臂或手的力矩會作用在驅動用的減速機,因此台座旋繞軸的減速機損傷的可能性較高。In addition, the number of productions of liquid crystal substrates or semiconductor wafers has increased year by year, and in order to improve productivity, it is required for the robot to increase the number of workpieces to be transported. However, the robot needs maintenance due to the inclusion of mechanical parts, and the maintenance time has a great influence on the number of workpieces to be transported. Therefore, it is desirable for the robot to be easy to maintain. Regarding maintenance, it is natural to have motivation. The replacement work for the communication part is the replacement of the reducer at the most. It is a problem to make the replacement of the reducer easier. In particular, when the pedestal is wound, the torque of the column or the multi-joint arm or hand acts on the speed reducer for driving, so that the speed reducer of the turret winding shaft is highly likely to be damaged.

針對上述課題,習知的多關節機械人,其立柱和安裝在立柱的多關節臂及手旋繞用的台座的旋繞機構是構成為減速機直接連結在台座,所以在維修保養時為了要更換內藏的減速機,需要對立柱另外加以支撐的作業,無法容易進行維修保養,因此減速機的更換作業費時,導致生產性降低的問題。In view of the above-mentioned problems, the conventional multi-joint robot has a column and a multi-joint arm attached to the column and a turret for the hand-wound pedestal, and the speed reducer is directly connected to the pedestal, so that it is necessary to be replaced during maintenance. The built-in reducer requires an additional support for the column, and maintenance cannot be easily performed. Therefore, the replacement of the reducer takes time and the productivity is lowered.

另外,習知的多關節機械人是構成為多關節臂基端同軸配置在上下的構造。因此,配置在多關節臂基端的機構零件即馬達或皮帶輪的更換時,只能採取卸下單方多關節臂之後再進行更換的方法,所以維修保養時間就變龐大,導致生產性降低的問題。Further, the conventional multi-joint robot is configured such that the base end of the multi-joint arm is coaxially arranged on the upper and lower sides. Therefore, when the motor or the pulley that is disposed at the base end of the multi-joint arm is replaced, only the method of removing the single multi-joint arm and then replacing it can be performed, so that the maintenance time becomes large, resulting in a problem of reduced productivity.

此外,習知多關節機械人的旋繞機構的構造,若是如一般的垂直多關節機械人其構造為多關節臂配置在旋繞機構上的構造時,即使是構成為底部配置有軸承但上部的力矩載重也不會產生大的作用因此不成問題,但透過台座旋繞側部的立柱時就會有較大的力矩載重作用。如此一來,因減速機的輸出平面和軸承的支撐平面並不一致,所以旋繞時的力矩載重會形成大的作用,不僅對於減速機,軸承也會造成損傷,產生維修保養困難的問題。Further, in the structure of the conventional multi-joint robot winding mechanism, if the structure is a structure in which the multi-joint arm is disposed on the winding mechanism as in a general vertical multi-joint robot, even if the bearing is disposed at the bottom, the upper moment load is configured. It does not produce a large effect and is therefore not a problem, but there is a large torque load when the pedestal is wound around the side column. In this way, since the output plane of the reducer and the support plane of the bearing are not uniform, the moment load at the time of winding will have a large effect, and not only the reducer but also the bearing may be damaged, resulting in difficulty in maintenance and repair.

另外,工件的傳遞路程雖是要低,但第8圖所示的旋繞機構其內部有著不必要的空間,即使將其組合在習知多關節機械人還是無法形成低傳遞路程,因此就產生工件無法搬出入於保管庫下部的問題。In addition, although the transfer path of the workpiece is low, the winding mechanism shown in Fig. 8 has an unnecessary space inside, and even if it is combined with a conventional multi-joint robot, it is impossible to form a low-transmission path, so that the workpiece cannot be produced. The problem of moving out of the lower part of the vault.

本發明是有鑑於上述問題所研創的發明,目的是提供一種能夠實現容易維修保養且低傳遞路程的多關節機械人。The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a multi-joint robot capable of achieving easy maintenance and a low transmission path.

為解決上述問題,本發明構成為下述。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is constituted as follows.

申請專利範圍第1項所記載的發明,多關節機械人,是由:搬運物載放用的手部;與上述手部連結,至少具備2個以上的旋轉關節,可使上述手部伸縮成朝一方向移動,配置在上下方向成相向的多關節臂;安裝在立柱成可上下移動的移動機構;上述移動機構和上述多關節臂連結用的支撐構件;及在上述立柱下端部,相對於上述立柱的下端部偏置連結台座的旋繞軸,構成與上述手部的移動方向及上述多關節臂上下的方向成正交,於該多關節機械人中,具有使上述台座旋繞的減速機的輸出軸與上述台座固定用的第1固定構件,上述第1固定構件與上述減速機的輸出軸的固定面是位在以上述台座的上述旋繞軸為中心於上述減速機半徑方向的支撐配置在外側的上述台座的斜置滾輪軸承的厚度之間,並固定於第2固定構件,該第2固定構件是被配置在上述斜置滾輪軸承的外輪被固定於基座台 之底座上,上述台座的旋轉支撐是由斜置滾輪軸承執行,且台座的旋轉是由差動減速機的輸出執行,藉此即使在減速機更換時,因台座是由斜置滾輪軸承支撐,能夠不受拘束只拆卸減速機。According to the invention of the first aspect of the invention, the multi-joint robot is a hand for carrying a carrier, and is connected to the hand, and has at least two or more rotating joints, and the hand can be expanded and contracted. Moving in one direction, a multi-joint arm that faces in the up-and-down direction, a moving mechanism that is attached to the column to move up and down, a support member that connects the moving mechanism and the multi-joint arm, and a lower end portion of the column The lower end portion of the column is biased to the winding shaft of the connection pedestal, and is configured to be orthogonal to the moving direction of the hand and the vertical direction of the multi-joint arm, and the multi-joint robot has an output of a reducer that winds the pedestal a first fixing member for fixing the shaft and the pedestal, wherein a fixing surface of the first fixing member and an output shaft of the reduction gear is disposed outside the support shaft of the pedestal in a radial direction of the reducer The thickness of the inclined roller bearing of the pedestal is fixed to the second fixing member, and the second fixing member is disposed on the inclined roller shaft The outer ring is fixed to the base stations On the base, the rotation support of the pedestal is performed by the inclined roller bearing, and the rotation of the pedestal is performed by the output of the differential reducer, so that even when the reducer is replaced, since the pedestal is supported by the inclined roller bearing, It is possible to disassemble the reducer without being restrained.

申請專利範圍第2項所記載的發明,上述減速機被配置在比上述斜置滾輪軸承的內徑更內側,上述多關節臂與上述立柱與上述移動機構及上述台座被以上述斜置滾輪軸承旋繞支撐的狀態,在上述減速機上方的上述台座具備可卸下上述減速機的減速機蓋。According to the invention of claim 2, the speed reducer is disposed inside the inner diameter of the inclined roller bearing, and the multi-joint arm and the column and the moving mechanism and the pedestal are the inclined roller bearing. In the state of the winding support, the pedestal above the speed reducer includes a speed reducer cover from which the speed reducer can be removed.

根據申請專利範圍第1項及第2項所記載的發明時,為了對立柱和安裝在立柱的多關節臂及手部旋繞用的台座加以維修保養,在進行內設減速機更換作業時,由於是利用有別於減速機另外配置的軸承支撐著台座,因此不需要對立柱進行另外的支撐作業,能夠容易進行維修保養。According to the invention described in the first and second aspects of the patent application, in order to maintain the column and the multi-joint arm attached to the column and the pedestal for hand winding, when the internal gear unit is replaced, The pedestal is supported by a bearing different from that of the reducer, so there is no need to perform additional support work on the column, and maintenance can be easily performed.

此外,能夠消除台座高度方向的閒置空間。即,手部的底面能夠配置成位於底座其高至低的位置,能夠實現低傳遞路程的工件搬運。即,手部的底面是可配置成位於底座其高至低的位置,可以實現低傳遞路程的工件搬運。In addition, it is possible to eliminate the idle space in the height direction of the pedestal. That is, the bottom surface of the hand can be disposed at a position where the base is high to low, and the workpiece can be conveyed with a low transfer path. That is, the bottom surface of the hand is configurable to be positioned at a high to low position of the base, and workpiece handling with a low transfer path can be realized.

另外,即使作用著台座旋繞造成的立柱、多關節臂或手部的大力矩,但因是使用如斜置滾輪軸承對於來自任何方向的載重都可保持良好精度的軸承,以較大的旋轉半徑進行支撐,所以能夠獲得良好精度支撐的同時,在取出減速機時也不需要對立柱進行另外支撐的作業,因此能夠容易進行維修保養。In addition, even if the large moment of the column, the multi-joint arm or the hand caused by the pedestal winding is applied, the bearing with good precision can be used for the load from any direction, such as the inclined roller bearing, with a larger radius of rotation. Since the support is provided, it is possible to obtain good precision support, and it is not necessary to perform additional support for the column when the speed reducer is taken out, so that maintenance can be easily performed.

此外,本發明的多關節機械人1,具備有由關節部3、4、5連結成可旋轉,由旋轉驅動源傳達有旋轉力可進行所期望動作的二組多關節臂2。此外,由多關節臂2保持著工件9的手部8是構成可朝圖中箭頭符號X所示的工件9取出、供給方向直線移動。另外,設置在二組多關節臂2基端的關節部3旋轉中心軸的關係,如第2圖所示,構成為相對於上臂21基端的關節部3在手部8移動方 向錯開位置配置下臂22基端的關節部3。Further, the multi-joint robot 1 of the present invention includes two sets of multi-joint arms 2 that are coupled to each other by the joint portions 3, 4, and 5 so as to be rotatable, and that can transmit a desired force by a rotational driving source. Further, the hand 8 holding the workpiece 9 by the multi-joint arm 2 is configured to be taken out from the workpiece 9 indicated by an arrow symbol X in the drawing, and linearly moved in the supply direction. Further, the relationship between the central axes of rotation of the joint portions 3 provided at the proximal ends of the two sets of multi-joint arms 2 is as shown in Fig. 2, and the joint portion 3 with respect to the proximal end of the upper arm 21 is moved in the hand 8 The joint portion 3 at the proximal end of the lower arm 22 is disposed to the shifted position.

此外,又具備有可使設有多關節臂2的支撐構件10上下移動的上下移動構件11,構成可調整多關節臂2的上下位置。另外,上下移動機構11的台座13是設置成可轉動,構成可旋繞多關節機械人1改變方向。於此,上下移動機構11是和手部8的移動方向成相同方向配置,支撐構件10是從上下移動機構11針對手部8移動方向朝正交方向突出,連結在多關節臂2基端的關節部3。此外,連結在下臂的支撐構件10,如第2圖所示形成為手部8移動方向偏置形狀以在多關節臂2由上下移動機構11移動至下方時不會干涉到台座13。另外,上下移動機構11是以未圖示具有密封功能的保護蓋覆蓋著,藉此抑制來自立柱12內部的灰塵。Further, the vertical movement member 11 for vertically moving the support member 10 provided with the multi-joint arm 2 is provided, and the up-and-down position of the multi-joint arm 2 can be adjusted. Further, the pedestal 13 of the vertical movement mechanism 11 is provided so as to be rotatable, and the slewing multi-joint robot 1 is changed in direction. Here, the vertical movement mechanism 11 is disposed in the same direction as the movement direction of the hand 8, and the support member 10 is protruded in the orthogonal direction from the vertical movement mechanism 11 toward the movement direction of the hand 8, and is coupled to the joint of the proximal end of the articulated arm 2 Department 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the support member 10 coupled to the lower arm is formed such that the hand 8 is offset in the moving direction so as not to interfere with the pedestal 13 when the multi-joint arm 2 is moved downward by the vertical movement mechanism 11. Further, the vertical movement mechanism 11 is covered with a protective cover having a sealing function (not shown), thereby suppressing dust from the inside of the column 12.

其次,使用第4圖說明台座13的構造。台座13的內部內包有台座13驅動用的馬達31和減速機構36。為了讓台座13的厚度形成為較薄的構成,其內部形成有加強肋51,藉此成為高剛性構造可保持著已安裝在立柱12的臂體重量。接著,針對台座13的細部構造進行說明。馬達31是以螺栓等固定在台座13,馬達31的輸出軸是旋轉自如地支撐在馬達用軸承32,輸出軸32安裝有皮帶34的一端。皮帶34的另一端是安裝在由減速機蓋45正下方配置的輸入齒輪用軸承35支撐成旋轉自如的輸入齒輪36,透過皮帶34讓馬達31的動力傳達至輸入齒輸36。輸入齒輪用軸承35的外輪是固定在軸承保持構件49,軸承 保持構件49是繫結在差動減速機37的輸出軸39。如上述將軸承保持構件49繫結在輸出軸39的構成是可讓輸出軸39兼作為軸承保持構件49的安裝底座,藉此能夠消除台座高度方向的閒置空間。即,手部的底面可配置成低至台座的高度,可以實現低傳遞路程的工件搬運。並且,差動減速機37與減速機蓋45為止的高度是以輸入齒輪用軸承35的軸承厚度和皮帶34的寬度算出,成為最小尺寸。此外,輸入齒輪36是輸入至差動減速機37。差動減速機37的固定部38是固定在底座17,差動減速機37的輸出軸39是由輸出軸固定螺栓40固定在需固定於台座13的固定構件41。差動減速機37部份的高度是以差動減速機37、輸入齒輪軸承35的軸承厚度和皮帶34的寬度算出,成為最小尺寸。Next, the structure of the pedestal 13 will be described using FIG. Inside the pedestal 13, a motor 31 for driving the pedestal 13 and a speed reduction mechanism 36 are housed. In order to make the thickness of the pedestal 13 thin, a reinforcing rib 51 is formed inside, whereby the high rigidity structure can maintain the weight of the arm body attached to the column 12. Next, the detailed structure of the pedestal 13 will be described. The motor 31 is fixed to the pedestal 13 by bolts or the like, and the output shaft of the motor 31 is rotatably supported by the motor bearing 32, and one end of the output shaft 32 to which the belt 34 is attached. The other end of the belt 34 is an input gear 36 that is rotatably supported by an input gear bearing 35 disposed directly below the reduction cover 45, and transmits the power of the motor 31 to the input tooth transmission 36 through the belt 34. The outer wheel of the input gear bearing 35 is fixed to the bearing holding member 49, the bearing The holding member 49 is coupled to the output shaft 39 of the differential speed reducer 37. As described above, the bearing holding member 49 is coupled to the output shaft 39 in such a manner that the output shaft 39 can also serve as a mounting base for the bearing holding member 49, whereby the free space in the height direction of the pedestal can be eliminated. That is, the bottom surface of the hand can be arranged to be as low as the height of the pedestal, and workpiece handling with a low transfer path can be realized. The height of the differential speed reducer 37 and the speed reducer cover 45 is calculated from the bearing thickness of the input gear bearing 35 and the width of the belt 34, and is the minimum size. Further, the input gear 36 is input to the differential speed reducer 37. The fixing portion 38 of the differential speed reducer 37 is fixed to the base 17, and the output shaft 39 of the differential speed reducer 37 is fixed to the fixing member 41 to be fixed to the pedestal 13 by the output shaft fixing bolt 40. The height of the differential speed reducer 37 is calculated based on the bearing thickness of the differential reduction gear 37, the input gear bearing 35, and the width of the belt 34, and is the minimum size.

此外,為了讓台座13厚度變薄,對於台座13旋繞動作支撐用的軸承並不需要形成多段,而是以可保持來自於任何方向之載重的斜置滾輪軸承42構成。斜置滾輪軸承42的內輪,是由和台座13固定的固定構件43保持著,旋轉自如地支撐著台座13。另外,斜置滾輪軸承42的外輪是由固定在底座17的固定構件44保持成不動。為了防止旋繞時的立柱12的振動或倒下,斜置滾輪軸承42的軸向間隙,例如是以0至15μm程度負公差構成。如此一來,因斜置滾輪軸承的軸向間隙成為零所以就形成不會產生立柱12振動或倒下的構成。Further, in order to make the thickness of the pedestal 13 thin, it is not necessary to form a plurality of stages for the bearing for the turret rotation support, but the inclined roller bearing 42 which can hold the load from any direction. The inner ring of the inclined roller bearing 42 is held by a fixing member 43 fixed to the pedestal 13, and rotatably supports the pedestal 13. Further, the outer wheel of the inclined roller bearing 42 is held stationary by the fixing member 44 fixed to the base 17. In order to prevent vibration or fall of the column 12 at the time of winding, the axial gap of the inclined roller bearing 42 is constituted by, for example, a negative tolerance of about 0 to 15 μm. As a result, since the axial gap of the inclined roller bearing becomes zero, the structure in which the column 12 is not vibrated or fallen down is formed.

接著,針對斜置滾輪軸承42和差動減速機37的關係 進行說明。當以差動減速機37的輸入齒輪36的旋轉中心為旋繞中心時,差動減速機37的輸出軸39是以旋繞中心為中心,旋轉成為具有比輸入齒輪36旋轉半徑還外側的旋轉半徑。此外,斜置滾輪軸承42是以旋繞中心為中心,旋轉其內輪成為具有比差動減速機37的輸出軸39旋轉半徑還外側的旋轉半徑。如上述,斜置滾輪軸承42和差動減速機37的旋轉中心相同,斜置滾輪軸承42是配置成具有比差動減速機37外側的旋轉半徑。另外,高度方向,差動減速機37的輸出軸39和台座13兩者固定用的固定構件41的固定面高度是配置成位於斜置滾輪軸承42大致高度中心。即,如此一來,就能夠讓立柱或上下移動機構、上下臂的力矩載重由大的斜置滾輪軸承支撐著,藉由將高度設定成輸出軸的固定面位於斜置滾輪軸承大致高度中心,能夠抑制台座驅動時的扭曲。Next, the relationship between the inclined roller bearing 42 and the differential reducer 37 Be explained. When the center of rotation of the input gear 36 of the differential speed reducer 37 is the center of rotation, the output shaft 39 of the differential speed reducer 37 is rotated about the center of the winding, and is rotated to have a radius of rotation outside the radius of rotation of the input gear 36. Further, the inclined roller bearing 42 is centered on the center of the winding, and the inner wheel is rotated to have a radius of rotation outside the radius of rotation of the output shaft 39 of the differential speed reducer 37. As described above, the inclined roller bearing 42 and the differential speed reducer 37 have the same rotation center, and the inclined roller bearing 42 is disposed to have a radius of rotation outside the differential speed reducer 37. Further, in the height direction, the height of the fixing surface of the fixing member 41 for fixing both the output shaft 39 and the pedestal 13 of the differential speed reducer 37 is disposed so as to be located substantially at the center of the height of the inclined roller bearing 42. That is, in this way, the moment load of the upright column or the up-and-down moving mechanism and the upper and lower arms can be supported by the large inclined roller bearing, and the fixed surface whose height is set as the output shaft is located at the approximate height center of the inclined roller bearing. It is possible to suppress distortion when the pedestal is driven.

構成如上述時,台座13的旋轉支撐是由斜置滾輪軸承42執行,台座13的旋轉是由差動減速機37的輸出執行,如此一來例如即使在減速機37更換時,因台座13是由斜置滾輪軸承42支撐著,所以就能夠不受拘束只拆卸減速機37。When the configuration is as described above, the rotatory support of the pedestal 13 is performed by the inclined roller bearing 42, and the rotation of the pedestal 13 is performed by the output of the differential speed reducer 37, so that, for example, even when the speed reducer 37 is replaced, the pedestal 13 is Supported by the inclined roller bearing 42, the reduction gear 37 can be removed without being restrained.

本發明和專利文獻1不同的部份,在於本發明為相對於上臂基端的關節部在手部移動方向錯開位置配置下臂基端的關節部之構成,同時台座的旋轉支撐是由斜置滾輪軸承執行,台座的旋轉是由差動減速機的輸出執行的部份。The present invention differs from Patent Document 1 in that the present invention is a configuration in which a joint portion of a lower arm base end is disposed at a position shifted in a hand movement direction with respect to a joint portion of a base end of an upper arm, and the rotatory support of the pedestal is an inclined roller bearing. Execution, the rotation of the pedestal is performed by the output of the differential reducer.

其次,使用第1圖對動作進行說明。本發明的多關節 機械人1所具備的二組多關節臂2,例如具有複數的關節部,即,多關節機械人1是水平多關節機械人的構成。本實施形態的多關節臂2具備和習知多關節臂2相同的構造。Next, the operation will be described using FIG. Multi-joint of the invention The two sets of the multi-joint arms 2 provided in the robot 1 have, for example, a plurality of joint portions, that is, the multi-joint robot 1 is a horizontal multi-joint robot. The multi-joint arm 2 of the present embodiment has the same structure as the conventional multi-joint arm 2.

上腕6的基端是透過驅動軸連結於支撐構件10,構成可轉動的肩關節部3。該肩關節部3是成為多關節臂2基端的關節部3。此外,上腕6的前端和前腕7的基端是透過驅動軸形成連結著,構成可轉動的肘關節部4。另外,前腕7的前端和手部8是透過驅動軸形成連結著,構成可轉動的手關節部5。The base end of the upper wrist 6 is coupled to the support member 10 through a drive shaft to constitute a rotatable shoulder joint portion 3. The shoulder joint portion 3 is a joint portion 3 that serves as a proximal end of the multi-joint arm 2. Further, the front end of the upper wrist 6 and the proximal end of the front wrist 7 are coupled to each other through a drive shaft to constitute a rotatable elbow joint portion 4. Further, the front end of the front wrist 7 and the hand 8 are coupled to each other through a drive shaft to constitute a rotatable hand joint portion 5.

多關節臂2是利用未圖示的旋轉驅動源轉動肩關節部3和肘關節部4和手關節部5,使手部8朝工件取出、供應方向移動。此時,多關節臂2,其機構是讓手部8朝一方向進行伸縮動作,使其在伸直上腕6和前腕7的伸長位置,及上腕6和前腕7成為摺疊狀態的縮回位置之間直線移動。The multi-joint arm 2 rotates the shoulder joint portion 3, the elbow joint portion 4, and the hand joint portion 5 by a rotation drive source (not shown), and moves the hand 8 toward the workpiece and in the supply direction. At this time, the multi-joint arm 2 is configured such that the hand 8 is telescopically moved in one direction so as to extend between the extended position of the upper wrist 6 and the front wrist 7, and the retracted position where the upper wrist 6 and the front wrist 7 are folded. Move in a straight line.

於此,針對本實施例的多關節機械人1的旋繞半徑是使用下臂22進行說明。於第5圖所示的下臂22縮回位置,由手部8保持的工件9其中心是設計成和台座13旋轉中心一致。再加上,肩關節部3的旋轉中心和手關節部5的旋轉中心和台座13的旋轉中心是偏置成一致位於手部8移動方向軸線上,使肘關節部4或手部8於台座13轉動時不會突出多關節機械人1周圍所需的最小區域圓15,因此就能夠縮小多關節機械人1的旋繞半徑。Here, the winding radius of the multi-joint robot 1 of the present embodiment will be described using the lower arm 22. At the retracted position of the lower arm 22 shown in Fig. 5, the center of the workpiece 9 held by the hand 8 is designed to coincide with the center of rotation of the pedestal 13. Further, the center of rotation of the shoulder joint portion 3 and the center of rotation of the hand joint portion 5 and the center of rotation of the pedestal 13 are offset so as to coincide with the axis of movement of the hand 8, so that the elbow joint portion 4 or the hand portion 8 is at the pedestal When the 13 is rotated, the minimum area circle 15 required around the multi-joint robot 1 is not protruded, so that the winding radius of the multi-joint robot 1 can be reduced.

於此,為了避免圖面變繁雜而使用下臂進行了說明,但對於上臂21也是相同,工件9的中心是設計成和台座13旋轉中心一致,肩關節部3、手關節部5和台座13的旋轉中心位置關係也是和下臂相同構成。Here, the lower arm is described in order to avoid complication of the drawing, but the same is true for the upper arm 21, and the center of the workpiece 9 is designed to coincide with the center of rotation of the pedestal 13, the shoulder joint portion 3, the hand joint portion 5, and the pedestal 13 The positional relationship of the center of rotation is also the same as that of the lower arm.

其次,針對上下方向的動作進行說明。多關節臂2是安裝在支撐構件10,根據未圖示的控制器指令由上下移動機構11朝上下方向移動。如第3圖所示,在朝下方移動時,因支撐構件10是以不干涉到台座13的形態構成為手部8移動方向偏置形狀,所以支撐構件10可下降至上下移動機構11最下點的移動位置。Next, the operation in the vertical direction will be described. The multi-joint arm 2 is attached to the support member 10, and is moved in the vertical direction by the vertical movement mechanism 11 in accordance with a controller command (not shown). As shown in Fig. 3, when moving downward, the support member 10 is configured to be offset from the pedestal 13 so that the hand 8 is biased in the moving direction, so that the support member 10 can be lowered to the lowermost position of the vertical movement mechanism 11. The moving position of the point.

接著,使用第4圖對減速機的更換作業進行說明。首先,鬆脫拿掉蓋用螺栓46卸下減速機蓋45。如此一來,就可確認出被固定在輸入齒輪用軸承35及台座13的固定構件41。其次,鬆脫拿掉輸入齒輪36的固定螺栓47,將輸入齒輪36和皮帶部份分開。如此一來,就能夠卸下皮帶34。接著,鬆脫拿掉輸出軸螺栓40,卸下被固定在台座的固定構件41。如此一來,就能夠讓差動齒輪減速機37的輸出軸39成為不受拘束可自由取出的狀態。其次,鬆脫拿掉差動齒輪減速機37其固定部38所繫結的固定部用螺栓48,將差動齒輪減速機37的固定部38從底座17卸下。如此一來,就能夠不受拘束地將差動齒輪減速機37從台座13取出。Next, the replacement operation of the reduction gear will be described using FIG. First, the cover is removed by bolt 46 to remove the reduction cover 45. In this way, the fixing member 41 fixed to the input gear bearing 35 and the pedestal 13 can be confirmed. Next, the fixing bolt 47 of the input gear 36 is loosened to separate the input gear 36 from the belt portion. In this way, the belt 34 can be removed. Next, the output shaft bolt 40 is loosened, and the fixing member 41 fixed to the pedestal is removed. In this way, the output shaft 39 of the differential gear reducer 37 can be freely taken out without being restrained. Then, the fixing portion bolts 48 to which the fixed portion 38 is fastened by the differential gear reducer 37 are removed, and the fixing portion 38 of the differential gear reducer 37 is detached from the base 17. In this way, the differential gear reducer 37 can be taken out from the pedestal 13 without any restraint.

如以上所述的順序,能夠順利取出差動齒輪減速機。此時,因台座是由斜置滾輪軸承支撐著,所以安裝在台座 的立柱及上下移動機構並不需具備特別的器具,就能夠進行作業。In the order described above, the differential gear reducer can be taken out smoothly. At this time, since the pedestal is supported by the inclined roller bearing, it is mounted on the pedestal. The column and the vertical movement mechanism can be operated without special equipment.

此外,針對馬達的更換,同樣地只要卸下配置在馬達上部的外罩就能夠容易進行更換作業。Further, in the same manner as the replacement of the motor, the replacement work can be easily performed by removing the cover disposed on the upper portion of the motor.
