Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent damage to a workpiece in the loading device of a copper- clad laminate, etc., by lifting up a receiving means from below to receive a workpiece on a conveying surface, conveying the workpiece to a loading position and delivering same to a sucking means and, after retracting the receiving means, carrying out loading by the socking means. CONSTITUTION:When the front end of a workpiece (a) in a conveying device 1 is detected by a sensor 16, a receiving device 2 is lifted up onto the conveying surface from under the conveying surface to receive and support the workpiece (a). The receiving device 2 is moved until it is brought into contact with a positioning member 5 by means of a moving device 4. Then, a lifting/loading device 8 sucks the workpiece (a) and the receiving device 2 is returned to the original place. The sucked workpiece (a) is loaded on a loading bed 17 by means of the lifting/loading device 8. By this structure, damage to the board face of the workpiece can be prevented.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

Although the conveying device 1 is of an endless type such as a belt conveyor, it may be of other types.

Transport device I! 1 is composed of a plurality of belt conveyors 1a arranged side by side at intervals on the left and right, and in a certain area in the conveying direction of the conveying device 1, the conveying device 1 rises from below the conveying surface of the conveying device 1. A receiving device a2 is provided to receive the workpiece a transported at the receiving device a2. This receiving device W
12, a plurality of supports 10 are erected at intervals on a base 9, brushes 11 are attached to the upper part of the supports 10, and these brushes 11 are positioned in the gap between the belt conveyors 1 m and 1 a. It's a shame. The base 9 is held movably up and down by a shilling 12, and the brush 11 is raised from the conveyance surface of the belt conveyor 1a by the expansion and contraction of the shilling 12 to receive the workpiece a on the belt conveyor 1&. That's how it is. In such a case, the brush 11 may be replaced by a ball caster that rotatably holds a ball.In short, it is sufficient to support the workpiece a without changing the coefficient of friction, and such a structure is collectively referred to as the support means 3.

A left and right position adjustment 13 is provided on one or both sides of the conveying device 1 where the receiving device [2 is arranged.
The horizontal position of the workpiece a, which is supported by the support means 3 such as 1 with no coefficient of friction, can be adjusted to a set position.

The receiving device 2 is provided on a traveling base 14 so as to be able to rise and fall freely,
The traveling base 14 can be driven to travel in the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 via a rail or the like, and various sources such as a motor or a Schilling can be used as the driving source. The configuration for transferring the receiving device W12 in this manner is collectively referred to as a transfer device 4.

A vertical plate-shaped positioning i%5 is provided at the end of the receiving gc device in the delivery direction. The workpiece a is supported by the receiving device 2 such that its leading end protrudes forward from the receiving device 2.

Then, the workpiece a is supported by the receiving device 2, the receiving device 2 is moved forward, the workpiece a is brought into contact with the positioning member 5, and the -f4@ of the workpiece a is aligned and positioned. It is. In such a case, the workpiece a is supported by the brush 11 on the upper part of the receiving device 2, and the receiving device 2 moves further forward by bringing the 7-grip a into contact with the positioning tool 5 and rubbing the plate surface of the workpiece a. Also try to avoid damaging it. In the figure, 16 is a sensor that detects the tip of the workpiece a.

A vacuum suction pad 15 as an elevating/lowering loading device 8 is disposed on the upper part near the positioner 5 so that it can be raised and lowered, and the workpiece a positioned by the positioner 5 is moved by lowering the vacuum suction pad 15. It is designed to be able to be lifted by adsorption. In this state of lifting the workpiece a, the receiving device 2 is moved backward by the transfer device 4, and the vacuum suction pad 15 is lowered to lower the workpiece a along the positioning member 5.

A glue lid 17 serving as a loading platform 7 is provided below the vacuum suction pad 15 so as to be movable up and down, and the workpieces a are loaded onto the tray 17 with their -mi aligned by the positioner 5. It is.

According to the above configuration, the leading end of the workpiece a transported by the transporting device 1 is detected by the sensor a, and is received by the receiving device 2 which is raised above the transporting surface, and the upper end of the supporting means 3 The workpiece a is supported by a brush 11 that has a small friction coefficient with the workpiece a provided therein, and in this supported state, the receiving device 2 is moved by the transfer device 4, and the workpiece a on the receiving device g & device 2 is positioned at position I4:5. The workpiece a is positioned by bringing them into contact with each other. During such positioning, the workpiece a comes into contact with the positioning member 5 and slides on the brush 11, but the workpiece a is not scratched. Then, the vacuum suction pad 15 attracts and lifts the workpiece a, and after the receiving device 2 is retracted, the vacuum suction pad 15 descends, that is, the workpiece a is lowered with one end positioned by the positioning pad 5. Be careful not to damage the surface of the workpiece a on the loading platform 7 (
They are stacked with their edges aligned.

[Effects of the Invention 1] In short, the present invention includes a receiving device that rises from below the conveying surface of a conveying device such as a conveyor to receive the workpieces conveyed by the conveying device, and a receiving device that is provided on the upper part of the receiving device to receive the workpieces. A support means for supporting with a low coefficient of friction, a transfer device for transferring a receiving VC placed elevated from the transfer surface of the transfer device to a loading position, and a transfer device for positioning the work on the receiving device transferred by the transfer device in the transfer direction. Because the system is equipped with a positioning tool and a lifting/lowering device that picks up and lifts the workpiece positioned by the positioning tool, lowers it along with the positioning tool, and places it on the loading platform.
Receive the workpiece transported at Wl by rising above the transport surface! ! The workpiece is received at a position, and supported by a support means that has a low friction coefficient with the workpiece provided at the upper end of the support means, and in this supported state, the receiving device is moved by a transfer device to position the workpiece on the receiving device. The workpiece is positioned by contacting the tool, the lifting and lowering loading device picks up the workpiece, and after the receiving device is evacuated, the lifting and loading device lowers to position the workpiece, with one end positioned at the same time. There is an advantage that the workpiece can be lowered and loaded onto the loading table with the end surfaces of the workpieces aligned without damaging the plate surface.
