 [本開示が解決しようとする課題]
 通常、ターンテーブルが不具合により回転途中で停止すると、ターンテーブル上のワークは、サイジング装置の下流へ搬送されず全て回収される。ターンテーブルをリスタートする際、人手の操作でターンテーブルをその停止位置から適切な位置に移動させるが、誤操作によって不適切な位置に移動させてしまう虞があるからである。不適切な位置に移動させた状態でリスタートすると、サイジングされていない未サイジング品や複数回サイジングした複数回サイジング品が作製される。しかし、未サイジング品や複数回サイジング品の下流への搬送は抑制できるものの、ターンテーブルが回転途中で停止する度にターンテーブル上のワークを回収する作業は非常に煩雑である。
[Problems to be solved by the present disclosure]
Normally, when the turntable is stopped in the middle of rotation due to a defect, the work on the turntable is not transported to the downstream of the sizing device but is all collected. When the turntable is restarted, the turntable is moved from the stop position to an appropriate position by manual operation, but there is a possibility that the turntable may be moved to an inappropriate position by an erroneous operation. If it is restarted after being moved to an inappropriate position, an unsized unsized product or multiple sized multiple sized products may be produced. However, although it is possible to suppress the conveyance of the unsizing product and the sizing product to the downstream side, the work of collecting the work on the turntable every time the turntable is stopped while rotating is very complicated.
 そこで、未サイジング品や複数回サイジング品の下流への搬送を抑制しつつ、ターンテーブル上のワークの回収作業を低減できるサイジング装置を提供することを目的の一つとする。 Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sizing device capable of reducing the work of collecting work on a turntable while suppressing the transport of unsizing products and sizing products downstream to a plurality of times.

The workpiece W is typically a metal sintered body obtained by forming a raw material powder mainly composed of a metal powder into a predetermined shape by a pressing device and sintering the obtained powder compact. Examples of the metal powder include iron-based powder and aluminum-based powder. The shape of the sintered body is a shape along the final shape, and examples thereof include various shapes such as a columnar shape and a cylindrical shape in which an axial hole is formed at the center.
  [ターンテーブル]
 ターンテーブル2は、ワークWを収納する複数の収納孔21hが設けられ、回転軸Crを中心に回転する。それにより、外部から供給されてワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hで受け取ったサイジング前のワークWを、ワーク供給位置Fからワーク成形位置Sのダイ31に搬送し、ダイ31の貫通孔31h(キャビティ)内でサイジングされたワークWを、ワーク成形位置Sからワーク取出位置Eへ搬送する。ワーク取出位置Eへ搬送された収納孔21h内のワークWは、ターンテーブル2の外部へ排出される。ターンテーブル2は、円盤状の部材であり、各収納孔21hの近傍には、各収納孔21hに対応する複数の識別情報保持部22が設けられている。
[Turntable]
The turntable 2 is provided with a plurality of storage holes 21 h for storing the workpiece W, and rotates around the rotation axis Cr. Thereby, the workpiece W before sizing which is supplied from the outside and received in the storage hole 21h of the workpiece supply position F is transported from the workpiece supply position F to the die 31 of the workpiece forming position S, and the through holes 31h of the die 31 (cavity The workpiece W sized inside is transported from the workpiece forming position S to the workpiece removal position E. The work W in the storage hole 21 h transported to the work take-out position E is discharged to the outside of the turntable 2. The turntable 2 is a disk-shaped member, and a plurality of identification information holding units 22 corresponding to the respective storage holes 21 h are provided in the vicinity of the respective storage holes 21 h.
   (収納孔)
 収納孔21hは、ワークWを収納するための孔である。本例の各収納孔21hは、ワークWを保持する後述のワーク保持部(図示略)が嵌め込まれる。各収納孔21hの形状は、円形状である。各収納孔21hの直径は、同一であり、ワークWを内包する最大円の直径よりも大きい。収納孔21hの数は適宜選択でき、ここでは8つとしている。複数の収納孔21hは、ターンテーブル2の回転軸Crと同軸の円周上に等間隔に配置されている。
(Storage hole)
The storage hole 21 h is a hole for storing the work W. In each storage hole 21 h of this example, a work holding portion (not shown) described later for holding the work W is fitted. The shape of each storage hole 21 h is circular. The diameter of each storage hole 21 h is the same, and is larger than the diameter of the largest circle containing the work W. The number of storage holes 21 h can be selected as appropriate, and is eight here. The plurality of storage holes 21 h are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference coaxial with the rotation axis Cr of the turntable 2.
 ワーク供給位置Fとワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hは互いに隣り合う位置とし、ワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hがワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hよりもターンテーブル2の回転方向前方側の位置とすることが挙げられる。ワーク供給位置F又はワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hの一方は、ターンテーブル2の回転軸Crを挟んでダイ31と対向する位置とすることが挙げられ、ここではワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hがターンテーブル2の回転軸Crを挟んでダイ31と対向する位置としている。即ち、後述する基本回転角度(ここでは45°)を1回動単位とすると、ワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21h内のワークWは、ワーク供給位置Fからターンテーブル2が4回回動(合計180°回転)するとダイ31に搬送され、ダイ31の位置からターンテーブル2が3回回動(ワーク供給位置Fからターンテーブル2が7回回動(合計315°回転))するとワーク取出位置Eに搬送される。ワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hは、ワーク取出位置Eからターンテーブル2が1回回動(ワーク供給位置Fからターンテーブル2が8回回動(合計360°回転))すると、ワーク供給位置Fに移動する。 The storage holes 21h of the workpiece supply position F and the workpiece removal position E are adjacent to each other, and the storage hole 21h of the workpiece supply position F is a position forward of the storage hole 21h of the workpiece removal position E in the rotational direction of the turntable 2. To be mentioned. One of the work supply position F and the storage hole 21h at the work removal position E may be a position facing the die 31 with the rotation axis Cr of the turntable 2 interposed therebetween. Here, the storage hole 21h of the work supply position F Are positioned opposite to the die 31 with the rotation axis Cr of the turntable 2 interposed therebetween. That is, assuming that a basic rotation angle (here, 45 °) to be described later is one rotation unit, the work W in the storage hole 21h of the work supply position F rotates the turntable 2 four times from the work supply position F (total 180 Rotation) is transported to the die 31 and the turntable 2 is rotated three times from the position of the die 31 (from the workpiece supply position F seven times (total 315 rotations) of the turntable 2) transported to the workpiece take-out position E Ru. The storage hole 21h at the work take-out position E moves to the work supply position F when the turntable 2 rotates once from the work take-out position E (the work table 2 rotates eight times from the work supply position F (total 360 ° rotation)) Do.
 ワーク保持部は、ワークWの外形に応じた挿入穴が設けられ、挿入穴の内周面から挿入穴の内部空間に向かって突出してワークWを保持する圧子(例、ボールプランジャなど)を備えるものが挙げられる。ワーク保持部は公知の構成のものが利用できる(特許文献1参照)。各収納孔にワーク保持部を着脱する構成とすると、単一のターンテーブル2を種々の形状のワークWに対して共通に利用できる。 The work holding portion is provided with an insertion hole corresponding to the outer shape of the work W, and includes an indenter (for example, a ball plunger etc.) that protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole toward the internal space of the insertion hole to hold the work W The thing is mentioned. A workpiece holding unit having a known configuration can be used (see Patent Document 1). When the work holding portion is attached to and detached from each storage hole, the single turntable 2 can be commonly used for works W of various shapes.
   (識別情報保持部)
 識別情報保持部22は、タグコードを保持する。識別情報保持部22の数は、収納孔21hの数と同数であり、ここでは8つである。識別情報保持部22の種類は、例えば、非接触(無線通信)によってタグコードを書き込み、上書き、及び読み込み可能なICタグが挙げられる。タグコードの種類は、各識別情報保持部22同士が区別可能であれば特に限定されず、例えば数字やアルファベットなどが挙げられる。数字やアルファベットであれば、各識別情報保持部22がタグコードを保持した順番を判別し易い。各識別情報保持部22の配置箇所は、ターンテーブル2における各収納孔21hの近傍である。ここでは、各識別情報保持部22の配置位置は、収納孔21h同士の各間におけるターンテーブル2の外周縁としている。各収納孔21hに対応する識別情報保持部22は、各収納孔21hの回転方向後方に位置する。
(Identification information holding unit)
The identification information holding unit 22 holds the tag code. The number of identification information holding units 22 is the same as the number of storage holes 21 h, and is eight here. Examples of the type of the identification information holding unit 22 include an IC tag which can write, overwrite, and read a tag code by non-contact (wireless communication). The type of tag code is not particularly limited as long as the identification information holding units 22 can be distinguished from each other, and examples include numbers and alphabets. If it is a number or alphabet, it is easy to determine the order in which each identification information holding unit 22 holds the tag code. The arrangement location of each identification information holding unit 22 is in the vicinity of each storage hole 21 h in the turntable 2. Here, the arrangement position of each identification information holding unit 22 is the outer peripheral edge of the turntable 2 between the storage holes 21 h. The identification information holding unit 22 corresponding to each storage hole 21 h is located at the rear in the rotational direction of each storage hole 21 h.
 ターンテーブル2の回転は、テーブル駆動機構(図示略)により行われ、その回転方向は、時計回りと反時計回りのどちらでもよく、白抜き矢印で示すように本例は反時計回りである。本例のターンテーブル2は、テーブル駆動機構に接続される接続台部25を備える。この接続台部25は、ターンテーブル2の回転軸Crに同軸に設けられている。ターンテーブル2の基本回転角度は、収納孔21hの数及び配置形態に応じて適宜選択できる。基本回転角度は、隣り合う各収納孔21hの中心とターンテーブル2の中心とで構成される中心角をいい、「360°/(収納孔21hの数)」で示される。本例では、8つの収納孔21hが等間隔に配置されているため、ターンテーブル2の基本回転角度は45°である。即ち、ターンテーブル2は反時計回りに45°ずつ回転する。ターンテーブル2は、45°回転すると一時停止する。 The rotation of the turntable 2 is performed by a table drive mechanism (not shown), and the rotation direction may be either clockwise or counterclockwise, and this example is counterclockwise as shown by the white arrow. The turntable 2 of this example is provided with the connection stand 25 connected to the table drive mechanism. The connection table 25 is provided coaxially with the rotation axis Cr of the turntable 2. The basic rotation angle of the turntable 2 can be appropriately selected according to the number and arrangement of the storage holes 21 h. The basic rotation angle is a central angle formed by the centers of the adjacent storage holes 21 h and the center of the turntable 2 and is represented by “360 ° / (number of storage holes 21 h)”. In this example, eight storage holes 21 h are arranged at equal intervals, so the basic rotation angle of the turntable 2 is 45 °. That is, the turntable 2 rotates 45 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. The turntable 2 pauses when it rotates 45 degrees.
 テーブル駆動機構は、インデックステーブルの回転に利用される種々の構成の回転アクチュエータが利用できる。本例のテーブル駆動機構は、ローラーギアカム機構を備えるインデックス装置(市販品、図示せず)を備える。その他、パラレルカム機構を備えるインデックス装置でもよい。本例のローラーギアカム機構は、1次側の原動車が360°回転する間に2次側の従動車が45°回転するように構成されたものである。従動車の回転中心がターンテーブル2の回転軸Crに同軸に設けられる。インデックス装置を駆動する動力源(図示せず、この例では原動車を回転させるモータなど)は、後述のプレス本体に設けられる。 As the table drive mechanism, rotary actuators of various configurations used for rotation of the index table can be used. The table drive mechanism of this example includes an index device (commercially available, not shown) including a roller gear cam mechanism. In addition, it may be an index device provided with a parallel cam mechanism. The roller gear cam mechanism of this example is configured such that the driven gear on the secondary side rotates 45 ° while the driving wheel on the primary side rotates 360 °. The rotation center of the driven vehicle is provided coaxially with the rotation axis Cr of the turntable 2. A power source for driving the index device (not shown, in this example, a motor for rotating the driving wheel, etc.) is provided in a press body described later.
 ターンテーブル2の外部からワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hへのワークWの搬送は、ワークWをロボットハンドなどのマニピュレータで把持したりすることで行える(図示略)。その他、電磁石や真空パッドなどでワークWを吸着することで行ってもよい。ワーク供給位置Fの外部近傍に走行してワークWを搬送するベルトコンベアなどの供給搬送路(図示せず)を設けておくとよい。そうすれば、ワークWを連続的に供給できる。 Transfer of the work W from the outside of the turntable 2 to the storage hole 21 h of the work supply position F can be performed by gripping the work W with a manipulator such as a robot hand (not shown). In addition, you may carry out by adsorbing the work W with an electromagnet, a vacuum pad, etc. It is preferable to provide a supply conveyance path (not shown) such as a belt conveyor which travels near the outside of the work supply position F and conveys the work W. Then, the workpiece W can be continuously supplied.
 ワーク成形位置Sの収納孔21hからダイ31へのワークWの搬送は、ワーク成形位置Sにある収納孔21hからダイ31と下パンチ(図示略)とでつくられるキャビティに向かってワークWを落下させることで行う。この落下は、上パンチで押圧することで行うことが挙げられる。サイジング後のワークWは、下パンチで押し上げられることでダイ31から抜き出されてワーク成形位置Sにある収納孔21hに再度収納される。 The conveyance of the work W from the accommodation hole 21h of the work forming position S to the die 31 drops the work W toward the cavity formed by the die 31 and the lower punch (not shown) from the accommodation hole 21h at the work forming position S Do it by This falling may be performed by pressing with the upper punch. The workpiece W after sizing is taken out from the die 31 by being pushed up by the lower punch and stored again in the storage hole 21 h at the workpiece forming position S.
 ワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hからターンテーブル2の外部へのワークWの排出は、ワークWをロボットハンドなどのマニピュレータで把持することで行える(図示略)。その他、ワークWを収納孔21hからその下方へ落下させたり、収納孔21hの上方から吸着したりすることでも行える(図示略)。落下させる場合、ワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hの下方には走行してワークWを搬送するベルトコンベアなどの排出搬送路を設けておくとよい。更に、収納孔21hからベルトコンベアに向かってワークWが滑り降りる滑り台(図示せず)などを備えると、収納孔21hからワークWを滑らかに排出できる。またワークWを落下させ易くするために、ワークWを上方から押す押圧装置(図示略)が別途設けられていてもよい。 The workpiece W can be discharged from the storage hole 21h at the workpiece takeout position E to the outside of the turntable 2 by gripping the workpiece W with a manipulator such as a robot hand (not shown). In addition, the work W can be dropped from the storage hole 21 h downward or adsorbed from above the storage hole 21 h (not shown). In the case of dropping, a discharge conveyance path such as a belt conveyor which travels and conveys the work W may be provided below the storage hole 21 h of the work take-out position E. Furthermore, when a slide (not shown) or the like on which the workpiece W slides down from the storage hole 21h toward the belt conveyor is provided, the workpiece W can be smoothly discharged from the storage hole 21h. Moreover, in order to make it easy to make the workpiece | work W fall, the press apparatus (not shown) which presses the workpiece | work W from upper direction may be separately provided.
 ターンテーブル2は、ダイ31と上下のパンチとを備えるダイセット3側に設けられていてもよいし、上下のパンチを駆動するパンチ駆動機構を有するプレス本体側(図示略)に設けられていてもよい。ターンテーブル2をプレス本体側ではなくダイセット3側に設ければ、ターンテーブル2をダイ31及び上下のパンチと一体のダイセット3として取り扱うことができる。そのため、外段取りでダイセット3に取り付けられたターンテーブル2にワーク保持部を取り付けたり、ワークWを保持する圧子(ボールプランジャ等)を調整すること(交換)ができる。パンチ駆動機構は、上下のパンチを往復動可能な種々の機構が利用でき、例えば、油圧ラムシリンダなどが利用できる。プレス本体は、油圧ラムシリンダの作動油を流動させるポンプを動作させるモータなどの動力源(図示せず)を備える。 The turntable 2 may be provided on the die set 3 side including the die 31 and the upper and lower punches, or is provided on a press main body side (not shown) having a punch drive mechanism for driving the upper and lower punches. It is also good. If the turntable 2 is provided on the die set 3 side instead of the press main body side, the turntable 2 can be handled as a die set 3 integral with the die 31 and the upper and lower punches. Therefore, it is possible to attach the work holding portion to the turntable 2 attached to the die set 3 by external step-up, or adjust (replace) the indenter (ball plunger or the like) for holding the work W. As the punch driving mechanism, various mechanisms capable of reciprocating the upper and lower punches can be used. For example, a hydraulic ram cylinder can be used. The press body includes a power source (not shown) such as a motor that operates a pump that causes the hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic ram cylinder to flow.
 本例のターンテーブル2はダイセット3に着脱可能に設けられている。それにより、ダイ31及び上下のパンチと一体の組物(ダイセット3)として取り扱うことができる。そのため、外段取りでダイセット3にターンテーブル2を取り付け(交換)できる。具体的には、ダイセット3はダイ31及び上下のパンチに加えてダイを保持するダイプレート35を備え、ターンテーブル2は、このダイプレート35の上部に搭載されている。ダイプレート35は、ターンテーブル2の下面の概ね半分を支持し、ターンテーブル2の円周縁に沿った周縁を有する半円状の部分と、残り半分を支持し、ターンテーブル2よりも大きい長方形状の部分とを備える。この長方形状の部分にダイ31の配置領域を備える。ダイ31の配置領域には、ダイ31の貫通孔31hに上パンチ及び下パンチを挿入できるように上下に貫通するパンチ挿通孔(図示略)が設けられている。 The turntable 2 of this example is provided detachably to the die set 3. Thereby, it can be handled as a set (die set 3) integral with the die 31 and the upper and lower punches. Therefore, the turntable 2 can be attached (replaced) to the die set 3 by external setup. Specifically, the die set 3 includes a die 31 and upper and lower punches and a die plate 35 for holding the die, and the turntable 2 is mounted on the upper portion of the die plate 35. The die plate 35 supports approximately half of the lower surface of the turntable 2 and a semicircular portion having a periphery along the circular periphery of the turntable 2 and the other half, and has a rectangular shape larger than the turntable 2 Part of the In this rectangular portion, an arrangement area of the die 31 is provided. In the arrangement area of the die 31, punch insertion holes (not shown) vertically penetrating are provided so that the upper punch and the lower punch can be inserted into the through holes 31h of the die 31.
  [供給側入力部]
 供給側入力部4は、ワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hに対応する識別情報保持部22にタグコードを入力する。供給側入力部4の種類は、識別情報保持部22の種類に応じたものが挙げられ、ここでは、供給側入力部4は、非接触(無線通信)式のICタグリーダ/ライタが利用できる。供給側入力部4の配置箇所は、ターンテーブル2の外側である。供給側入力部4で入力するタグコードは、例えば「1」から順に連続する数字、識別情報保持部22の数(ここでは8つ)と同数の数字(1~8)やアルファベット(A~H)が挙げられる。供給側入力部4で識別情報保持部22に入力したタグコードは、後述の情報処理部6の記憶部61で記憶される照合用タグコードに利用される。
[Supply side input unit]
The supply side input unit 4 inputs the tag code into the identification information holding unit 22 corresponding to the storage hole 21 h of the work supply position F. The type of the supply side input unit 4 may be one corresponding to the type of the identification information holding unit 22. Here, as the supply side input unit 4, a noncontact (wireless communication) type IC tag reader / writer can be used. The arrangement position of the supply side input unit 4 is the outside of the turntable 2. The tag code input by the supply-side input unit 4 is, for example, a number sequentially arranged from “1”, a number (1 to 8) and an alphabet (A to H) equal to the number of identification information holding units 22 (here eight). Can be mentioned. The tag code input to the identification information holding unit 22 by the supply-side input unit 4 is used for the verification tag code stored in the storage unit 61 of the information processing unit 6 described later.
  [取出側読取部]
 取出側読取部5は、ワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hに対応する識別情報保持部22に入力されたタグコードを読み取る。取出側読取部5の種類は、供給側入力部4と同様、識別情報保持部22の種類に応じたものが挙げられる。ここでは、取出側読取部5はICタグリーダ/ライタが利用できる。取出側読取部5の配置箇所は、供給側入力部4と同様、ターンテーブル2の外側である。取出側読取部5で識別情報保持部22から読み取ったタグコードは、後述の情報処理部6の良否判定部62での判定に利用される。
[Ejecting side reader]
The take-out side reading unit 5 reads the tag code input to the identification information holding unit 22 corresponding to the storage hole 21 h of the work take-out position E. Similar to the supply-side input unit 4, the type of the extraction-side reading unit 5 may be one corresponding to the type of the identification information holding unit 22. Here, the extraction side reading unit 5 can use an IC tag reader / writer. The placement position of the takeout side reading unit 5 is the outside of the turntable 2 as in the case of the supply side input unit 4. The tag code read from the identification information holding unit 22 by the takeout side reading unit 5 is used for determination by the quality determination unit 62 of the information processing unit 6 described later.
  [情報処理部]
 情報処理部6は、記憶部61と良否判定部62とを備える。この情報処理部6には、後述の判定手順を実行するプロセッサを備えるコンピュータを利用できる。
[Information processing unit]
The information processing unit 6 includes a storage unit 61 and a quality determination unit 62. The information processing unit 6 can use a computer including a processor that executes a determination procedure described later.
   (記憶部)
 記憶部61は、ワーク供給位置Fからワーク取出位置Eに移動するまでの収納孔21hの回転位置情報を演算することで求めた照合用タグコードを記憶する。収納孔21hの回転位置情報は、収納孔21hの数などで求められ、例えば、基本回転角度(45°)の合計回転角度(315°)や、基本回転角度を1回動単位としたときの合計回動回数(7回)が挙げられる。即ち、照合用タグコードは、供給側入力部4で識別情報保持部22に入力するタグコードであり、ターンテーブル2が適切な回転をすると仮定したとき(315°回転(7回回動)したとき)に取出側読取部5で読み取る予定のタグコードである。
(Storage unit)
The storage unit 61 stores the verification tag code obtained by calculating the rotational position information of the storage hole 21 h from the workpiece supply position F to the workpiece removal position E. The rotational position information of the storage hole 21h is obtained by the number of storage holes 21h etc. For example, when the total rotation angle (315 °) of the basic rotation angle (45 °) or the basic rotation angle is one rotation unit The total number of rotations (7 times) can be mentioned. That is, the verification tag code is a tag code input to the identification information holding unit 22 at the supply side input unit 4, and assuming that the turntable 2 rotates properly (when it rotates 315 ° (seven times rotation)) ) Is a tag code to be read by the take-out side reading unit 5.
   (良否判定部)
 良否判定部62は、取出側読取部5で読み取ったタグコードと、照合用タグコードとを照合し、両タグコードの一致性からワークWの良否を判定する。判定が「良」とは、ターンテーブル2の回転が適切であることをいう。即ち、ワークWがワーク供給位置Fからワーク取出位置Eまで適切な順序を経て搬送されることを意味する。判定が「不良」とは、ターンテーブル2の回転が不適切であるこという。即ち、ワークWがワーク供給位置Fからワーク取出位置Eまで不適切な順序を経て搬送されることを意味する。良否判定部62は、ここでは、両タグコードが一致する場合、「良」と判定し、不一致な場合、「不良」と判定する。
(Good or bad judgment unit)
The good or bad judgment unit 62 collates the tag code read by the takeout side reading unit 5 with the collation tag code, and judges the good or bad of the work W from the coincidence between the two tag codes. The judgment of “good” means that the rotation of the turntable 2 is appropriate. That is, it means that the work W is transported from the work supply position F to the work removal position E through an appropriate order. When the determination is "defective", it means that the rotation of the turntable 2 is inappropriate. That is, it means that the workpiece W is transported from the workpiece supply position F to the workpiece removal position E in an inappropriate order. Here, the good or bad judgment unit 62 judges “good” when both tag codes match, and judges “bad” when they disagree.
 例えば、ターンテーブル2に不具合が生じず回転途中で停止せずにワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hが45°ずつ0°(ワーク供給位置F)から315°(ワーク取出位置E)まで順に回転した場合、両タグコードは一致するため判定は「良」となる。仮にターンテーブル2が不具合により回転途中で停止しても、その停止したターンテーブル2を人手の操作で適切な位置に動かしてターンテーブル2をリスタートすれば、両タグコードは一致するため判定は「良」となる。人手の操作で不適切な位置に動かしてターンテーブル2をリスタートすれば、両タグコードは不一致となるため判定は「不良」となる。ターンテーブル2が回転途中で停止する不具合とは、例えば、テーブル駆動機構に異物などが噛み込むことなどが挙げられる。 For example, the storage hole 21h of the work supply position F is sequentially rotated from 0 ° (work supply position F) to 315 ° (work take-out position E) by 45 ° without stopping in the middle of rotation without causing trouble in the turntable 2 In this case, the determination is "good" because both tag codes match. Even if the turntable 2 is stopped in the middle of rotation due to a defect, if the stopped turntable 2 is moved to the appropriate position by manual operation and the turntable 2 is restarted, the two tag codes will match, so the judgment is It becomes "good". If the turntable 2 is restarted by moving it to an inappropriate position by manual operation, both tag codes will not match and the determination will be "bad". The trouble that the turntable 2 stops in the middle of the rotation includes, for example, the foreign matter biting into the table drive mechanism.
 良否を判定することで、サイジングされていない未サイジング品や複数回サイジングした複数回サイジング品のサイジング装置1の下流への搬送を抑制しつつ、ターンテーブル2上のワークWの回収作業を低減できる。それは、判定が「良」のときには、ターンテーブル2上のワークWを回収しなくてもよく、ターンテーブル2上のワークWを回収するのは、判定が「不良」のときでよいからである。即ち、ターンテーブル2が回転途中で停止する度にターンテーブル2上の全ワークWを回収しなくてもよい。未サイジング品や複数回サイジング品は、判定が「不良」の場合にターンテーブル2上に含まれる。ターンテーブル2が回転途中で停止した際、ターンテーブル2を適切な位置よりも回転方向前方へ進めた場合、未サイジング品が作製され、ターンテーブル2を適切な位置よりも回転方向後方へ戻した場合、複数回サイジング品が作製される。判定手順の詳細は後述する。 By determining the quality, it is possible to reduce the collection work of the work W on the turntable 2 while suppressing the conveyance of the unsized product not sized and the multiple sized products to the downstream of the sizing device 1 downstream. . That is, when the determination is “good”, the work W on the turntable 2 may not be collected, and the work W on the turntable 2 may be collected when the determination is “defective”. . That is, it is not necessary to collect the entire work W on the turntable 2 every time the turntable 2 stops in the middle of rotation. Unsizing products and multiple-sizing products are included on the turntable 2 when the determination is “bad”. When the turntable 2 is stopped in the middle of rotation, if the turntable 2 is moved forward in the rotational direction beyond the proper position, an unsized product is produced, and the turntable 2 is returned backward in the rotational direction from the proper position In the case, a sizing product is produced multiple times. Details of the determination procedure will be described later.
 情報処理部6は、更に、上下のパンチを駆動するパンチ駆動機構による加圧力の実測値がパンチ駆動機構の設定範囲外(設定範囲超又は設定範囲未満)のとき、「不良」と判定する過不足判定部を備えることが好ましい。この過不足判定部を備えれば、上下のパンチで過剰に加圧したサイジング圧過剰品や、上下のパンチでの加圧が過小なサイジング圧不足品が下流に搬送されることを抑制しつつ、ワークWの回収作業を低減できる。それは、良否判定部62と同様、ターンテーブル2が回転途中で停止する度にターンテーブル2上の全ワークWを回収しなくてもよく、ターンテーブル2上のワークWを回収するのは、判定が「不良」のときでよいからである。サイジング圧過剰品やサイジング圧不足品は、例えば、ワークWの体積の過大、過小により作製される。その理由は次の通りである。メカプレスでサイジングが行われる場合には、機構上、上パンチの下限位置がきまっている。油圧プレスでサイジングが行われる場合には、パンチの位置制御方式が採用され、やはり、上パンチの下限位置が決まっている。つまり、サイジングのプレス方式に関わらず、通常、上パンチの下限位置が決まっている。よって、ワークWの体積が過大であれば、サイジング圧過剰品が作製され、ワークWの体積が過小であれば、サイジング圧不足品が作製される。 Furthermore, the information processing section 6 determines that it is “defective” when the measured value of the pressing force by the punch drive mechanism driving the upper and lower punches is out of the set range of the punch drive mechanism (exceeding the set range or less than the set range) It is preferable to provide a shortage determination unit. If this excess / deficiency judgment unit is provided, it is suppressed that the oversized sizing products pressurized excessively by the upper and lower punches and the insufficient sizing pressure products with the upper and lower punches are conveyed downstream. The work of collecting the work W can be reduced. It is not necessary to collect the entire work W on the turntable 2 every time the turntable 2 stops in the middle of rotation as in the good or bad judgment unit 62, and it is judged that the work W on the turntable 2 is collected. It is because it is good at the time of "defect". The over-sized sizing goods and the low-sized sizing goods are produced, for example, due to excessive or undersized volume of the work W. The reason is as follows. When sizing is performed by the mechanical press, the lower limit position of the upper punch is fixed in terms of mechanism. When sizing is performed by the hydraulic press, the position control system of the punch is adopted, and again, the lower limit position of the upper punch is determined. That is, regardless of the pressing method of sizing, the lower limit position of the upper punch is usually determined. Therefore, if the volume of the work W is excessive, a sizing overpressure product is produced, and if the volume of the work W is too small, a sizing pressure deficiency product is manufactured.
 情報処理部6は、良否判定部62の判定に基き、ターンテーブル2の回転を停止させるようにテーブル駆動機構に指令する回転制御部(図示略)を備えることが好ましい。ここでは、回転制御部は、良否判定部62の判定が「不良」のとき、ターンテーブル2の回転を停止させる指令を出す。更に、この回転制御部は、過不足判定部の判定(不良)に基き、ターンテーブル2の回転を停止させるようにテーブル駆動機構に指令することが好ましい。 It is preferable that the information processing unit 6 includes a rotation control unit (not shown) that instructs the table drive mechanism to stop the rotation of the turntable 2 based on the determination of the quality determination unit 62. Here, the rotation control unit issues a command to stop the rotation of the turntable 2 when the determination of the quality determination unit 62 is “poor”. Furthermore, it is preferable that the rotation control unit instructs the table drive mechanism to stop the rotation of the turntable 2 based on the determination (defect) of the excess or deficiency determination unit.
  [判定手順]
 良否判定部62による判定手順を説明する。予め、識別情報保持部22と供給側入力部4(取出側読取部5)とが対向するようにターンテーブル2を位置決めしておく。
Judgment procedure
The determination procedure by the quality determination unit 62 will be described. The turntable 2 is positioned in advance so that the identification information holding unit 22 and the supply side input unit 4 (extraction side reading unit 5) face each other.
 ターンテーブル2の収納孔21hの数と配置形態とに基き、ワーク供給位置Fからワーク取出位置Eに移動するまでの収納孔21hの回転位置情報を演算することで求めた照合用タグコードを記憶部61に記憶させる。ここでは、8つの収納孔21hが等間隔に配置されていて、基本回転角度が45°(基本回転角度を1回動単位)であることから、ワーク供給位置Fからワーク取出位置Eに移動する収納孔21hの回転位置情報は315°(7回)である。即ち、記憶部61は、表1に示すように、供給側入力部4で識別情報保持部22に入力される各タグコード(ここでは数字)を315°回転(7回回動)後の照合用タグコードとして記憶する。表1の「-」は、照合用タグコードなしを意味する。 The verification tag code obtained by calculating the rotational position information of the storage hole 21h from the work supply position F to the work removal position E is stored based on the number of storage holes 21h of the turntable 2 and the arrangement form It makes part 61 memorize. Here, eight storage holes 21 h are arranged at equal intervals, and the basic rotation angle is 45 ° (the basic rotation angle is one rotation unit), so the work supply position F is moved to the work take-out position E The rotational position information of the storage hole 21 h is 315 ° (seven times). That is, as shown in Table 1, the storage unit 61 is for verification after each tag code (here, a numeral) input to the identification information holding unit 22 by the supply-side input unit 4 is rotated by 315 ° (seven rotations). Store as tag code. “-” In Table 1 means no matching tag code.

 ワークWがワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hに搬送されると、供給側入力部4は、ワーク供給位置Fの収納孔21hに対応する識別情報保持部22にタグコードを入力する。ここでは、表1に示すように、供給側入力部4は、ターンテーブル2が基本回転角度(45°)回転する度に、「1」から順に連続する数字をタグコードとして入力する。入力するタグコードを連続する数字とすることで、「1」~「8」の数字を繰り返し利用する場合に比較して、ワークWの搬送時期やワークWのサイジング時期などが判別し易い。 When the work W is transported to the storage hole 21 h of the work supply position F, the supply side input unit 4 inputs a tag code to the identification information holding unit 22 corresponding to the storage hole 21 h of the work supply position F. Here, as shown in Table 1, the supply-side input unit 4 inputs, as a tag code, consecutive numbers starting with “1” each time the turntable 2 rotates by the basic rotation angle (45 °). By setting the tag code to be input as a continuous number, it is easy to determine the transport time of the workpiece W, the sizing timing of the workpiece W, etc., as compared with the case where the numbers “1” to “8” are repeatedly used.
 取出側読取部5は、ワーク取出位置Eの収納孔21hに対応する識別情報保持部22に入力されたタグコードを読み取る。読み取ったタグコードは良否判定部62に送られる。取出側読取部5では、ターンテーブル2が基本回転角度(45°)回転する度に識別情報保持部22に入力されたタグコードを読み取る。 The take-out side reading unit 5 reads the tag code input to the identification information holding unit 22 corresponding to the storage hole 21 h of the work take-out position E. The read tag code is sent to the pass / fail judgment unit 62. The extraction side reading unit 5 reads the tag code input to the identification information holding unit 22 every time the turntable 2 rotates by the basic rotation angle (45 °).
 良否判定部62は、記憶部61から照合用タグコードを読み出し、その照合用タグコードと取出側読取部5で読み取ったタグコードとを照合し、両タグコードが一致すれば「良」と判定し、不一致であれば「不良」と判定する。この判定は、取出側読取部5でタグコードを読み取る度に行う。良否判定部62では、テーブル駆動機構(原動車のモータ)の回転速度に基き、ターンテーブル2の基本回転角度の回転開始時(判定直後)に記憶部61から照合用タグコードを読み出す。仮にテーブル駆動機構の不具合でターンテーブル2が回転途中で停止して、人手の操作によりターンテーブル2が回転されたときには、良否判定部62は、次の照合用タグコードを記憶部61から読み出すことなく現状の照合用タグコードを、取出側読取部5で読み取ったタグコードとの一致性の判定に利用する。 The good or bad judgment unit 62 reads out the collation tag code from the storage unit 61, collates the collation tag code with the tag code read by the takeout side reading unit 5, and judges “good” if both tag codes match. If they do not match, it is determined as "defective". This determination is performed each time the extraction side reading unit 5 reads the tag code. Based on the rotational speed of the table drive mechanism (motor of the driving vehicle), the quality determination unit 62 reads out the verification tag code from the storage unit 61 at the start of rotation of the basic rotation angle of the turntable 2 (immediately after determination). If the turntable 2 is stopped during the rotation due to a malfunction of the table drive mechanism and the turntable 2 is rotated by a manual operation, the good or bad judgment unit 62 reads the next verification tag code from the storage unit 61. Instead, the current verification tag code is used to determine the consistency with the tag code read by the extraction side reading unit 5.
 ターンテーブル2が適切な回転をしているとき、両タグコードは常に一致するため良否判定部62の判定は常に「良」である。また、ターンテーブル2が不具合により回転途中で停止したとき、人手の操作によりターンテーブル2を回転させて収納孔21hの位置を適切な位置に移動させてリスタートした場合、両タグコードは一致するため良否判定部62の判定は「良」となる。例えば、供給側入力部4が「8」をタグコードとして入力するとき、取出側読取部5で読み取るタグコードは「1」であり、照合用タグコードは「1」であるため、両タグコードは一致する。 When the turntable 2 is rotating properly, both tag codes always coincide with each other, so that the judgment of the good or bad judgment unit 62 is always “good”. In addition, when the turntable 2 is stopped in the middle of rotation due to a problem, both tag codes match if the turntable 2 is rotated by an operation of the hand to move the position of the storage hole 21h to an appropriate position and then restarted. Therefore, the determination of the quality determination unit 62 is “good”. For example, when the supply side input unit 4 inputs “8” as a tag code, the tag code read by the takeout side reading unit 5 is “1” and the verification tag code is “1”. Matches.
 ターンテーブル2が不適切な回転をした場合、例えばターンテーブル2が不具合により回転途中で停止し、人手の操作によりターンテーブル2を回転させて収納孔21hの位置を不適切な位置に移動させてリスタートした場合、両タグコードは不一致となるため判定は「不良」となる。例えば、ターンテーブル2を回転させて収納孔21hの位置を適切な位置よりも1つ回転方向前方の収納孔21hの位置へ移動させた場合、照合用タグコードが「3」のとき、取出側読取部5で読み取ったタグコードが「4」となり、両タグコードが不一致となる。そして、ダイ31に搬送されるはずのワークWがダイ31に搬送されることなくワーク成形位置Sを通り過ぎるため、ターンテーブル2上には、未サイジング品が作製される。ターンテーブル2を回転させて収納孔21hが適切な位置よりも1つ回転方向後方の収納孔21hの位置へ移動させた場合、照合用タグコードが「3」のとき、取出側読取部5で読み取ったタグコードが「2」となり、両タグコードが不一致となる。そして、サイジングされたワークWが再度ダイ31に搬送されるため、ターンテーブル2上には、複数回サイジング品が作製されるため、ターンテーブル2を停止する。このように判定が「不良」の結果、ターンテーブル2を停止させ、ターンテーブル2上のワークを回収する。 If the turntable 2 is improperly rotated, for example, the turntable 2 is stopped in the middle of rotation due to a defect, and the turntable 2 is rotated by the operation of a hand to move the position of the storage hole 21h to an inappropriate position. In the case of restart, the determination is "bad" because both tag codes do not match. For example, when the turntable 2 is rotated to move the position of the storage hole 21h to the position of the storage hole 21h one rotation direction ahead of the appropriate position, when the verification tag code is "3", the removal side The tag code read by the reading unit 5 becomes “4”, and the two tag codes do not match. Then, since the workpiece W to be transported to the die 31 passes the workpiece forming position S without being transported to the die 31, an unsized product is produced on the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 is rotated and the storage hole 21h is moved to the position of the storage hole 21h one rotation direction behind the appropriate position, when the verification tag code is "3", The read tag code becomes "2", and both tag codes do not match. Then, since the sized work W is transported to the die 31 again, since the sizing product is manufactured on the turntable 2 a plurality of times, the turntable 2 is stopped. As described above, as a result of the determination “defect”, the turntable 2 is stopped and the work on the turntable 2 is collected.
  [その他]
 判定結果を作業者が確認できる判定確認部(図示略)を備えることが好ましい。判定確認部は、例えば、目視にて確認できるモニタなどの表示装置、光を放つ警告ランプなどの照明装置、音を鳴らして作業者に報せる警報スピーカなどの警報装置の少なくとも一つが挙げられる。この判定確認部は、例えば、プレス本体に設けられることが挙げられる。
[Others]
It is preferable to include a determination confirmation unit (not shown) that allows the operator to confirm the determination result. The determination confirmation unit may be, for example, at least one of a display device such as a monitor that can be visually confirmed, an illumination device such as a warning lamp that emits light, and an alarm device such as an alarm speaker that sounds an alarm to notify an operator. The determination confirmation unit may be, for example, provided in the press body.

According to the sizing device 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to reduce the work of collecting the work W on the turntable 2 while suppressing the transport of the unsized product and the multiple sized products downstream of the sizing device 1.
 なお、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。 The present invention is not limited to these exemplifications, is shown by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims.
 例えば、取出側読取部で読み取ったタグコードと照合用タグコードとが不一致な場合、判定を「良」とし、両タグコードが一致する場合、判定を「不良」としてもよい。この場合、照合用タグコードは、供給側入力部で入力するタグコード(数字)に対して一定数ずらしたタグコード(数字)で、ターンテーブルが適切な回転をすると仮定したときに取出側読取部で読み取る予定のタグコードに対して一定数ずらしたタグコード(数字)とすることが挙げられる。具体的には、テーブル駆動機構の不具合でターンテーブルが回転途中で停止して、人手の操作により収納孔の位置を適切な位置よりも1つ回転方向前方又は後方の収納孔の位置へ移動するようにターンテーブルを回転させたときに両タグコードが一致するタグコード(数字)を照合用タグコードとする。そうすれば、未サイジング品又は複数回サイジング品のサイジング装置の下流への搬送を抑制しつつ、ターンテーブル上のワークの回収作業を低減できる。 For example, when the tag code read by the takeout side reading unit and the tag code for verification do not match, the determination may be "good", and when both tag codes match, the determination may be "bad". In this case, the verification tag code is a tag code (number) shifted by a fixed number with respect to the tag code (number) input at the supply side input unit, and it is assumed that the turntable rotates appropriately. The tag code (number) shifted by a fixed number with respect to the tag code to be read by a part may be mentioned. Specifically, the turntable is stopped in the middle of rotation due to a failure of the table drive mechanism, and the position of the storage hole is moved to the position of the storage hole one rotation direction ahead or rear than the appropriate position by manual operation. As described above, a tag code (number) in which both tag codes match when the turntable is rotated is used as a comparison tag code. In this case, it is possible to reduce the work of collecting the work on the turn table while suppressing the conveyance of the unsizing product or the plural sizing products downstream of the sizing device.
