[0001] 本発明は、ブレーキを備える駆動軸のブレーキを、作業者の操作で開放する際に、 対象となる自動機械を明示する自動機械制御装置に関する。  The present invention relates to an automatic machine control device that specifies a target automatic machine when a brake of a drive shaft provided with a brake is released by an operator.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] モータを備える回転治具、傾動治具、産業用ロボットなどの自動機械では、モータ の駆動電源が遮断された時に、重力に抗して位置を維持するためにブレーキが備わ つている。このブレーキは、通電時開放型であり、自動機械動作中の停電等で、モー タの駆動電源が遮断されても、自動機械を短惰走距離で停止させる安全確保のため に効果がある。  [0002] Automatic machines such as rotating jigs, tilting jigs, and industrial robots equipped with a motor are equipped with a brake to maintain a position against gravity when the driving power of the motor is cut off. . This brake is open when energized, and is effective in ensuring safety in stopping the automatic machine at a short coasting distance even if the motor drive power is cut off due to a power failure during operation of the automatic machine.
複数の自動機械が備わる生産システムでは、自動機械が作業中に自動機械また は自動機械制御装置に故障が発生して、他の自動機械の作業領域内で停止するこ とがある。この時、自動機械は、故障または故障による異常を検出して動作を停止し 、ブレーキ駆動電源を遮断することでモータを保持する。この停止状態にある自動機 械は、他の自動機械で行なわれる他の作業の邪魔となり、生産の継続が出来なくな る。また、故障した自動機械または自動機械制御装置の故障原因調査や修復のた めにも、 自動機械を所定の位置へ退避する必要がある。 自動機械を所定の位置へ 退避するには作業者による操作によってブレーキの締結を開放して行なわれる。  In a production system equipped with multiple automatic machines, a failure of the automatic machine or the automatic machine control device may occur during the operation of the automatic machine and stop in the work area of another automatic machine. At this time, the automatic machine detects the failure or abnormality due to the failure, stops the operation, and shuts off the brake driving power to hold the motor. An automatic machine in this stopped state interferes with other operations performed by another automatic machine, and cannot continue production. In addition, it is necessary to evacuate the automatic machine to a predetermined position in order to investigate and repair the cause of the failure of the automatic machine or the automatic machine control device that has failed. To retract the automatic machine to a predetermined position, the brake is released by an operator's operation.
[0003] 従来のブレーキ開放では、ロボットの各軸駆動モータのブレーキ開放を行なうため 、ブレーキ解放の操作スィッチをロボットアームに設けたもの(特許文献 1)。あるいは 、ロボットを駆動動作時のモータのブレーキを開放する経路とは別に、このブレーキ を開放する装置をマ-ユープレータ側に設け、ブレーキを開放する時に、この装置に 商用電源を接続し、スィッチ操作等でブレーキを開放する(特許文献 2)。あるいは、 必要な時にブレーキへの接続を変更してブレーキを開放する、ブレーキ開放装置を 準備しておくことが提案されて 、る (特許文献 3)。 [0003] In the conventional brake release, a brake release operation switch is provided on a robot arm in order to release the brake of each axis drive motor of the robot (Patent Document 1). Alternatively, a device for releasing this brake is provided on the maupulator side separately from the path for releasing the brake of the motor when driving the robot, and when releasing the brake, a commercial power supply is connected to this device and the switch is operated. Release the brake with the like (Patent Document 2). Alternatively, it has been proposed to prepare a brake release device that releases the brake by changing the connection to the brake when necessary (Patent Document 3).
[0004] このように、従来のロボット制御装置あるいは自動機械制御装置は、ロボット本体あ るいは自動機械本体の位置や姿勢を手動で変える時に、対象となるロボット本体ある いは自動機械本体に対してブレーキ開放の操作やブレーキ開放装置の装着を行な うものである。 [0004] As described above, the conventional robot control device or automatic machine control device is not provided with the robot body. Or, when manually changing the position or orientation of the automatic machine main body, the brake release operation or the mounting of the brake release device is performed on the target robot main body or automatic machine main body.

発明が解決しょうとする課題  Problems to be solved by the invention
[0006] 従来のモータを備える自動機械 (ある 、はロボット)では、ブレーキを開放するため に、特許文献 1乃至特許文献 3共に、作業者が自動機械本体またはその近くに備わ る操作スィッチの操作を行なわねばならず、さらに、特許文献 2ではブレーキを開放 する装置へ商用電源の接続、特許文献 3では自動機械にブレーキ開放装置の取り 付けを行なわなければならない。ところが、自動機械が適用される作業システムでは 、自動機械の周辺に治具、ケーブル、配管などの多くの機器が有り、自動機械本体 へのアクセスや、商用電源の接続あるいはブレーキ開放装置取り付けのためのァク セスが容易ではない場合が多ぐまたこれら機器に乗っての作業では、不安定な足 場での作業となり、作業者に危険が及ぶことがあるため、操作スィッチの設置場所を 操作が容易な場所に移動するなどの対策がされていた。  [0006] In a conventional automatic machine (or a robot) equipped with a motor, in order to release the brake, in both Patent Documents 1 to 3, an operator operates an operation switch provided at or near the automatic machine body. Operation must be performed, and in Patent Document 2, a commercial power supply must be connected to a device for releasing a brake, and in Patent Document 3, a brake releasing device must be attached to an automatic machine. However, in a work system to which an automatic machine is applied, there are many devices such as jigs, cables, and piping around the automatic machine. In many cases, access to these devices is not easy.Working on these devices is performed on unstable platforms, which may pose a danger to workers. Measures such as moving to an easy place.
[0007] 複数台の自動機械が接近して配置されて!、るような生産システムでは、前述の対策 であるブレーキ開放スィッチの設置場所が自動機械より離れていると、操作をするブ レーキ開放スィッチと対応する自動機械の対応性が取れなくなる可能性があり、ブレ ーキ開放を行なう対象の自動機械とは異なる自動機械のブレーキを開放する誤操作 を招く危険性がある。この誤操作は、作業者の意図しない自動機械のブレーキ開放 であり、該自動機械の機構部が重力で落下し、自動機械本体、治具あるいはワーク の破損や変形となる。また、近くの作業者に危険を及ぼすという問題があった。  [0007] In a production system in which a plurality of automatic machines are arranged in close proximity to each other, if the installation location of the brake release switch, which is the measure described above, is far from the automatic machines, the brakes to be operated will be opened. There is a possibility that the correspondence between the switch and the corresponding automatic machine may not be maintained, and there is a risk of causing an erroneous operation to release the brake of the automatic machine different from the automatic machine for which the brake is released. This erroneous operation is the release of the brake of the automatic machine which is not intended by the operator, and the mechanism of the automatic machine falls due to gravity, and the main body, jig or work of the automatic machine is damaged or deformed. In addition, there is a problem that it poses a danger to nearby workers.
例えば特開平 8— 194511などで提案されている、 1台で複数台の自動機械の動作 をすることで、効率の良い作業が実現できる制御装置でも同様の問題があった。  For example, there is a similar problem in a control device proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-194511, which can realize efficient work by operating a plurality of automatic machines by one machine.
[0008] 本発明はこのような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、ブレーキを開放しようとす る自動機械の本体あるいは近傍に、ブレーキ開放の準備がなされたことを表示するよ うにすることで、誤操作をなくすとともに、誤操作により引き起こされる過大な損失をな くし、さらに作業者の安全に配慮することができる自動機械制御装置を提供すること を目的とする。 [0008] The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an attempt is made to release a brake. That the brake is ready to be released is displayed on or near the main body of the automatic machine to prevent incorrect operation, eliminate excessive loss caused by incorrect operation, and consider worker safety. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic machine control device capable of performing such operations.

実施例 1  Example 1
[0016] 図 1は、本発明の自動機械制御装置のブレーキ回路図である。図では本発明に関 わる部分を主に示している。図において、 10はブレーキ電源装置であり、自動機械 のモータを駆動しているときにブレーキを開放するための電源装置である。 11はイン ターロック接点であり、例えばモータの駆動電源への電源投入と遮断に使用する電 磁接触器の補助接点を利用している。インターロック接点 11より個別にブレーキを開 放する個別ブレーキ回路へ分岐する。第 1接点 12、整流器 13、第 1ブレーキ 14で第 1の個別ブレーキ回路を、同様に第 2接点 15、整流器 16、第 2ブレーキ 17で第 2の 個別ブレーキ回路を、第 3接点 18、整流器 19、第 3ブレーキ 20で第 3の個別ブレー キ回路を、第 4接点 21、整流器 22、第 4ブレーキ 23で第 4の個別ブレーキ回路を構 成している。尚、特にブレーキ電流遮断時に発生するサージ電圧減衰のための部材 は図示していない。インターロック接点 11は、個別にブレーキ開放するための接点 1 2、 15、 18、 21の溶着時でもブレーキへの開放電源供給を遮断するためのものであ る。  FIG. 1 is a brake circuit diagram of the automatic machine control device of the present invention. The figure mainly shows parts related to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a brake power supply device for releasing a brake when driving a motor of an automatic machine. Reference numeral 11 denotes an interlock contact, which uses, for example, an auxiliary contact of an electromagnetic contactor used for turning on / off a power supply for driving a motor. The interlock contact 11 branches to the individual brake circuit that releases the brake individually. The first contact 12, the rectifier 13, and the first brake 14 provide the first individual brake circuit, and the second contact 15, the rectifier 16, and the second brake 17 provide the second individual brake circuit.The third contact 18, the rectifier 19, the third brake 20 constitutes a third individual brake circuit, and the fourth contact 21, the rectifier 22, and the fourth brake 23 constitute a fourth individual brake circuit. A member for attenuating a surge voltage generated when the brake current is cut off is not shown. The interlock contact 11 is used to cut off the supply of power to the brake even when the contacts 12, 15, 18, and 21 for releasing the brake are individually welded.
[0017] 24は開放用ブレーキ電源装置であり、自動機械のモータを駆動していないときに 作業者の操作によってブレーキを開放するための電源装置である。 25は開放選択 接点であり、作業者が操作によってブレーキを開放する時の主となる接点である。開 放選択接点 25はスィッチの接点あるいは継電器の接点を問わない。開放選択接点 2 5より第 1ブレーキ 14へは第 1開放接点 26、整流器 27を介して接続されている。同様 に第 2ブレーキ 17へは第 2開放接点 28、整流器 29を介し、第 3ブレーキ 20へは第 3 開放接点 30、整流器 31を介し、第 4ブレーキ 23へは第 4開放接点 32、整流器 33を 介して接続されている。また、開放選択接点 25よりランプ 34へ接続されている。ラン プ 34は自動機械に搭載、あるいは自動機械の近傍に設置されている。また、ランプ 3 4は点滅灯ある 、は回転表示灯であっても力まわな!/、。 [0017] Reference numeral 24 denotes an opening brake power supply device, which is used when the motor of the automatic machine is not driven. This is a power supply device for releasing a brake by an operation of an operator. Reference numeral 25 denotes a release selection contact, which is a main contact when the operator releases the brake by operation. The release selection contact 25 may be a switch contact or a relay contact. The open selection contact 25 is connected to the first brake 14 via a first open contact 26 and a rectifier 27. Similarly, the second brake 17 is connected via the second open contact 28 and the rectifier 29, the third brake 20 is connected via the third open contact 30 and the rectifier 31, and the fourth brake 23 is connected with the fourth open contact 32 and the rectifier 33. Connected via In addition, the open selection contact 25 is connected to the lamp 34. Lamp 34 is mounted on or near the automatic machine. Also, the lamps 3 and 4 have flashing lights, and even if they are rotation indicator lights, they are not powerful!
第 1開放接点 26、第 2開放接点 28、第 3開放接点 30、第 4開放接点 32はスィッチ の接点あるいは継電器の接点を問わない。これら接点 25, 26, 28, 30, 32は、ブレ ーキ開放操作を行なう操作スィッチの押下で閉路する構成となっている。  The first open contact 26, the second open contact 28, the third open contact 30, and the fourth open contact 32 may be switch contacts or relay contacts. These contacts 25, 26, 28, 30, 32 are configured to be closed by pressing an operation switch for performing a brake opening operation.
[0018] 作業者によるブレーキ開放は、モータの非駆動時に行なわれるようにするため、本 実施例ではブレーキ電源装置 10と開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24への電源 1よりの電 源供給に、排他を行なっている。すなわち、モータを駆動する状態とするときには回 路遮断器 2を閉路して、ブレーキ電源装置 10と制御電源装置 3へ電源 1より電源供 給を行なう。この時、制御電源継電器 4は通電励磁されるため、その常閉接点は開路 して開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24へは電源供給されな 、。非常停止などでモータ駆 動を停止してもブレーキ電源装置 10と制御電源装置 3への電源の供給は変わらず、 作業者によるブレーキの開放操作はできない。回路遮断器 2を開路するとブレーキ 電源装置 10と制御電源装置 3へは電源が供給されなくなり、制御電源継電器は非通 電となり、その常閉接点は閉路して開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24へ電源が供給される 構成となっている。 In order to prevent the brake release by the operator when the motor is not driven, in the present embodiment, the power supply from the power supply 1 to the brake power supply 10 and the release brake power supply 24 is exclusively used. I do. That is, when the motor is driven, the circuit breaker 2 is closed, and power is supplied from the power supply 1 to the brake power supply 10 and the control power supply 3. At this time, since the control power relay 4 is energized and excited, the normally closed contact is opened and power is not supplied to the opening brake power supply 24. Even if the motor drive is stopped by an emergency stop, the power supply to the brake power supply 10 and the control power supply 3 does not change, and the operator cannot release the brake. When the circuit breaker 2 is opened, power is not supplied to the brake power supply 10 and the control power supply 3, the control power relay becomes non-conductive, the normally closed contact is closed, and power is supplied to the release brake power supply 24. It is configured to be supplied.
[0019] モータが駆動される自動機械の稼動時は、まず回路遮断器 2が閉路され制御電源 装置 3およびブレーキ電源装置 10に電源供給される。この時、制御電源継電器 4は 通電励磁されて、その接点は開路するので開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24には電源供 給されない。モータの駆動は、図示していないモータ駆動装置へ電源の供給を行な う。この電源の供給は電磁接触器が使用され、その補助接点が使用されたインター口 ック接点 11が閉路する。次に、モータへ駆動電流を供給することで、所望するトルク を発生した後に第 1接点 12、第 2接点 15、第 3接点 18、第 4接点 21を略同時に閉路 することで第 1ブレーキ 14、第 2ブレーキ 17、第 3ブレーキ 20、第 4ブレーキ 23へブ レーキ電源装置 10よりブレーキ解除用電源が供給され、ブレーキが解除される。尚、 整流器 13、 16、 19、 22はブレーキ解除電流の逆流防止用である。 When the automatic machine driven by the motor is operated, first, the circuit breaker 2 is closed and power is supplied to the control power supply 3 and the brake power supply 10. At this time, the control power relay 4 is energized and excited, and its contacts are opened, so that no power is supplied to the opening brake power supply 24. For driving the motor, power is supplied to a motor driving device (not shown). This power is supplied using an electromagnetic contactor, and the interface port where the auxiliary contact is used. Contact 11 is closed. Next, by supplying a drive current to the motor, the first contact 12, the second contact 15, the third contact 18, and the fourth contact 21 are closed almost simultaneously after a desired torque is generated. The brake release power is supplied from the brake power supply 10 to the second brake 17, the third brake 20, and the fourth brake 23, and the brake is released. The rectifiers 13, 16, 19, and 22 are for preventing the brake release current from flowing backward.
モータの駆動を止める時は、第 1接点 12、第 2接点 15、第 3接点 18、第 4接点 21を 略同時に開路すると共に、モータの駆動電源への電源遮断を行いモータへの駆動 電源供給を停止する。この時にインターロック接点 11は開路する。  To stop driving the motor, open the first contact 12, the second contact 15, the third contact 18, and the fourth contact 21 almost simultaneously, cut off the power to the motor drive power supply, and supply the drive power to the motor. To stop. At this time, the interlock contact 11 is opened.
[0020] 自動機械の非稼動時では、回路遮断器 2は開路状態にあり、制御電源装置 3は電 源が供給されず、制御電源を発生しないため制御電源継電器 4は非通電となり、そ の常閉接点は閉路し、開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24へ電源が供給される。 [0020] When the automatic machine is not operating, the circuit breaker 2 is open, the control power supply 3 is not supplied with power, and does not generate control power, so the control power relay 4 is de-energized. The normally closed contact is closed, and power is supplied to the opening brake power supply 24.
作業者の操作により、開放選択接点 25を閉路すると、これに接続されたランプ 34 が点灯する。このランプ 34はブレーキ開放表示であり、ブレーキ開放の対象となる自 動機械のブレーキ開放準備が整ったことをしめす。  When the open selection contact 25 is closed by an operator's operation, the lamp 34 connected thereto is turned on. This lamp 34 indicates the brake release, and indicates that the brake of the automatic machine to be released is ready for release.
この開放選択接点 25を閉路した状態で、作業者の操作により例えば第 1開放接点 26を閉路すると、開放用ブレーキ電源装置 24より開放選択接点 25、第 1開放接点 2 6、整流器 27、第 1ブレーキ 14とブレーキ開放電流が流れ、第 1ブレーキ 14が開放さ れる。同様に第 2開放接点 28の閉路で第 2ブレーキ 17、第 3開放接点 30の閉路で 第 3ブレーキ 20、第 4開放接点 32の閉路で第 4ブレーキ 23が解放される。  When, for example, the first open contact 26 is closed by an operator's operation in a state where the open select contact 25 is closed, the open selection contact 25, the first open contact 26, the rectifier 27, the first The brake 14 and the brake release current flow, and the first brake 14 is released. Similarly, the second brake 17 is released when the second open contact 28 is closed, the third brake 20 is released when the third open contact 30 is closed, and the fourth brake 23 is released when the fourth open contact 32 is closed.
[0021] 複数の自動機械が配置される生産システムでは、このブレーキ開放表示により、ど の自動機械のブレーキ開放準備がされたかを、作業者が識別することができる。この ランプ 34が点滅灯あるいは回転表示灯であれば、作業者の注意を引きやすくなり、 誤操作防止へ大きく貢献できる。 In a production system in which a plurality of automatic machines are arranged, an operator can identify which automatic machine is ready to release the brake by this brake release display. If the lamp 34 is a blinking light or a rotation indicator light, the operator's attention is easily drawn, which can greatly contribute to prevention of erroneous operation.
本発明が特許文献 1乃至 3と異なる部分は、ブレーキを解放しょうとする自動機械 の近傍での操作を排除したため、対象とする自動機械の識別を容易に行なうために 、ブレーキ開放表示を対象自動機械またはその近傍に備えた部分である。  The difference of the present invention from Patent Documents 1 to 3 is that the operation in the vicinity of the automatic machine for releasing the brake is eliminated, so that the brake release indication is automatically displayed to easily identify the target automatic machine. This is a part provided at or near the machine.
実施例 2  Example 2
[0022] 図 2は第 2実施例の構成を示す図である。本実施例は、 1台の制御装置で 2台の自 動機械を制御する場合である。尚、図では本発明に関わる部分を主に示しており、ま た、図 1と同一符号は相当部分を示しており、一部の説明を割愛する。図において、 40は第 1の自動機械、 50は第 2の自動機械である。 41は第 1の自動機械のインター ロック接点である。この接点は少なくとも 2極で構成されており。片方は第 1接点 42整 流器 43を介して第 1ブレーキ 44と、第 2接点 45整流器 46を介して第 2ブレーキ 47— 1、 47— 2とに接続され、他方は制御電源装置 3より電源を、整流器 48を介してランプ 49へ供給する。ブレーキ 44、 47-1, 47-2,ランプ 49は第 1の自動機械に備わって いる。第 1の自動機械のモータの駆動電源を投入すると、その補助接点であるインタ 一ロック接点 41が閉路して、ランプ 49へ制御電源を供給して点灯する。このランプ点 灯はモータの駆動時の表示である。モータのトルク発生後略同時に第 1接点 42、第 2 接点 45を閉路してブレーキ電源をブレーキ 44、 47-1, 47— 2へ供給してブレーキを 開放する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the second embodiment. In the present embodiment, two controllers are used by one controller. This is a case where a moving machine is controlled. It should be noted that FIG. 1 mainly shows a portion related to the present invention, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote corresponding portions, and a part of the description will be omitted. In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes a first automatic machine, and 50 denotes a second automatic machine. 41 is an interlock contact of the first automatic machine. This contact has at least two poles. One is connected to the first brake 44 via the first contact 42 rectifier 43, and the second brake 47-1 and 47-2 via the second contact 45 rectifier 46, and the other is connected to the control power supply 3 Power is supplied to lamp 49 via rectifier 48. Brakes 44, 47-1, 47-2 and ramp 49 are provided on the first automatic machine. When the drive power of the motor of the first automatic machine is turned on, the interlock contact 41, which is its auxiliary contact, closes and the control power is supplied to the lamp 49 to light it. This lamp is lit when the motor is driven. At approximately the same time after the motor torque is generated, the first contact 42 and the second contact 45 are closed to supply the brake power to the brakes 44, 47-1, 47-2, and release the brakes.
ブレーキ 54、 57、ランプ 59の備わる第 2の自動機械についても前述と同様である ので説明を省く。  The second automatic machine equipped with the brakes 54 and 57 and the ramp 59 is the same as described above, and will not be described.
[0023] 61は第 1の自動機械のブレーキ開放選択接点、 71はは第 2の自動機械のブレー キ開放選択接点である。 自動機械の非稼動時に、例えば第 1の自動機械のブレーキ 開放選択接点 61が閉路した後、第 1開放接点 62を閉路すると、開放用ブレーキ電 源装置 24より第 1開放接点 62、整流器 63を介して第 1ブレーキ 44へ電源を供給す る。同様に、第 2開放接点 64を閉路すると、第 2開放接点 64、整流器 65を介して第 2 ブレーキ 47— 1、 47— 2へ電源を供給する。このブレーキへの電源供給回路と並列に フリツ力回路 66が接続されており、該フリツ力回路 66の出力は整流器 67を介してラン プ 49へ接続されている。  [0023] Reference numeral 61 denotes a brake release selection contact of the first automatic machine, and 71 denotes a brake release selection contact of the second automatic machine. When the automatic machine is not in operation, for example, when the first open contact 62 is closed after the brake open selection contact 61 of the first automatic machine is closed, the first open contact 62 and the rectifier 63 are released from the open brake power supply 24. Power is supplied to the first brake 44 via the power supply. Similarly, when the second open contact 64 is closed, power is supplied to the second brakes 47-1, 47-2 via the second open contact 64 and the rectifier 65. A fritting circuit 66 is connected in parallel with the power supply circuit for the brake, and the output of the fritting circuit 66 is connected to a lamp 49 via a rectifier 67.
第 2の自動機械のブレーキ開放選択接点 71より第 2の自動機械のブレーキ開放回 路は第 1の自動機械のブレーキ開放回路と同様のため説明を省く。  Since the brake release circuit of the second automatic machine is the same as the brake release circuit of the first automatic machine from the brake release selection contact 71 of the second automatic machine, the description is omitted.
[0024] 図 3は図 2におけるフリツ力回路 66, 76である。図において、 TO、 T1は限時作動瞬 時復帰型継電器 (オンディレータイマ、以後単にタイマと言う)である。 TOa, TOalは タイマ TOの常開接点、 Tibはタイマ T1の常閉接点である。 FLP、 FLNは本回路へ の電源であり、図 2におけるブレーキ開放選択接点 61、 71が閉路すると、この両端に 電圧が供給される。 FIG. 3 shows the frit force circuits 66 and 76 in FIG. In the figure, TO and T1 are time-recovery instantaneous reset relays (on-delay timer, hereinafter simply called timer). TOa and TOal are normally open contacts of the timer TO, and Tib is a normally closed contact of the timer T1. FLP and FLN are power supplies to this circuit.When the brake release selection contacts 61 and 71 in Fig. 2 are closed, Voltage is supplied.
[0025] このフリツ力回路の動作を説明する。  [0025] The operation of the frit force circuit will be described.
(1) FLP、 FLNに電源が供給されていない状態では、タイマ TOおよびタイマ T1は励 磁状態になぐその接点である接点 TOa、接点 TOalは開路、接点 Tibは閉路してい る。  (1) When power is not supplied to FLP and FLN, timer TO and timer T1 are the contacts TOa and TOal that are in the excited state, contact TOal is open, and contact Tib is closed.
(2) FLP、 FLNに電源が供給されると、接点 Tibは閉路しているためタイマ TOへ通 電される力 限時作動型のため設定された時間経過するまでは接点 TOa、 TOalは 開路したままである。  (2) When power is supplied to FLP and FLN, the contact Tib is closed and the contacts TOa and TOal are open until the set time elapses because of the time-limited operation type in which the current is passed to the timer TO because the contact Tib is closed. Remains.
(3)タイマ TOの設定された時間が経過すると、タイマ TOの接点 TOaが閉路して、タイ マ T1へ通電する力 該タイマの接点 Tibは限時作動型のため設定された時間経過 するまで開路しな 、のでタイマ TOへの通電は継続し、接点 TOaは閉路を維持する。 (3) When the set time of the timer TO elapses, the contact TOa of the timer TO is closed and the power to energize the timer T1 is open until the set time elapses because the timer contact Tib is a timed type. However, the energization of the timer TO continues, and the contact TOa keeps the circuit closed.
(4)タイマ T1の設定された時間が経過すると、タイマ T1の接点 Tibが開路する。接 点 Tibに接続されて 、るタイマ TOは、瞬時復帰型のためその接点 TOaは開路する。 接点 TOaに接続されているタイマ T1も、瞬時復帰型のためその接点 Tibが閉路して 状態 (2)となる。 (4) When the time set by the timer T1 has elapsed, the contact Tib of the timer T1 is opened. Since the timer TO connected to the contact Tib is an instantaneous return type, its contact TOa is open. Since the timer T1 connected to the contact TOa is also of the instantaneous reset type, its contact Tib is closed and becomes the state (2).
(5) FLP、FLNに電源が供給されなくなるまで (2)、(3)、(4)を繰返す。  (5) Repeat steps (2), (3) and (4) until power is no longer supplied to FLP and FLN.
タイマ TOの接点 TOaは、タイマ TOに設定された時間開路、タイマ T1に設定された時 間閉路する。接点 TOalは接点 TOaと同一タイミングで同相動作となり、電源 FLPの 継電と遮断を行なう。  The contact point TOa of the timer TO is open for the time set in the timer TO and closed for the time set in the timer T1. The contact TOal operates in the same phase as the contact TOa at the same timing, and switches on and off the power supply FLP.
[0026] このフリツ力回路 66、 76の出力は整流器 67、 77を介してランプ 49、 59へ接続され ており、ブレーキ開放選択接点 61、 71が閉路すると、ランプ 49、 59が点滅する。尚、 ブレーキ開放選択接点 61、 71を閉路して作業者によるブレーキ解放を行なうときは 、回路遮断器 2は開路して ヽるため制御電源装置 3は電源供給して ヽな ヽ。  [0026] The outputs of the fritting force circuits 66, 76 are connected to the lamps 49, 59 via rectifiers 67, 77. When the brake release selection contacts 61, 71 are closed, the lamps 49, 59 blink. When the operator releases the brake by closing the brake release selection contacts 61 and 71, the control power supply 3 must be supplied with power because the circuit breaker 2 is open.
また、タイマ TO、 T1の時間設定を変えることでランプの点滅周期を変更することが できる。また、ランプの点灯、点滅を CPUの処理や他の電子部品で構成することもで きる。  By changing the time settings of timers TO and T1, the blinking cycle of the lamp can be changed. Also, the lighting and blinking of the lamp can be configured by CPU processing and other electronic components.
本実施例では、 1つのランプを点灯と点滅の 2つの表示状態とした力 この 2つの状 態の表示色を変えることでも作業者は容易に識別することができる。 [0027] このように、 自動機械の通常稼動状態である回路遮断器 2を閉路してモータを駆動 する時のランプ 49、 59は、常時点灯状態で、 自動機械の非稼動状態で、作業者の 操作でブレーキを解放する時に、ブレーキ開放選択接点 61、 71を閉路すると、閉路 したブレーキ開放選択接点 61または 71側のランプ 49または 59が点滅する構成をし ているので、作業者がブレーキを解放しょうとしている自動機械を、確実に識別する ことができるため、誤操作で他の自動機械のブレーキを解放してしまうことを防ぐこと ができる。 In this embodiment, the operator can easily identify the power by changing the display color of one of the two states of turning on and off one lamp by changing the display colors of the two states. [0027] As described above, when the motor is driven by closing the circuit breaker 2 in the normal operation state of the automatic machine, the lamps 49 and 59 are always lit, and the worker is in the non-operation state of the automatic machine. When the brake release selection contacts 61 and 71 are closed when the brake is released by the operation of, the lamp 49 or 59 on the closed brake release selection contact 61 or 71 blinks. Since the automatic machine that is about to be released can be reliably identified, it is possible to prevent the brake of another automatic machine from being released due to an erroneous operation.
産業上の利用可能性  Industrial applicability
[0028] 作業者の操作で自動機械のブレーキを解放するときに、対象とする自動機械を明 示することができるため、ブレーキを備える数値制御工作機、ロボット、ポジショナとい う用途にも適用できる。 [0028] When the brake of the automatic machine is released by the operator's operation, the target automatic machine can be clearly indicated, so that it can also be applied to applications such as numerically controlled machine tools, robots and positioners equipped with a brake. .
