Abstract

PURPOSE:To array a thin plate-like part in a standing erect posture in a pallet for a vibratory part arraying device by setting an arraying hole to be a form capable of storing one side of the thin plate-like part, and forming blowout holes to blow out compressed air to both sides in the lengthwise and upper direction. CONSTITUTION:A thin plate-like part 12 is loaded on a part arraying pallet 10 so as to be vibrated. In succession, compressed air is supplied to a compressed air supply route 18 so as to blow out from blowout holes 15 in the upper direction. Then, accompanied by vibration of a pallet 10, the thin plate- like part 12 on the pallet 10 stands erect by means of a correlation between the vibration and the compressed blowout air. Thereafter, the standing erect part 12 enters into an arraying hole 11 formed to store one side of the standing erect part 12 through guide parts 17 so that it can be stored in a hole body 22 while keeping a standing erect posture.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pallet for aligning parts used in a vibrating parts aligning device, and in particular, the present invention relates to a pallet for aligning parts used in a vibrating parts aligning device, and particularly for storing thin plate-like parts in an upright state in each part aligning hole. This invention relates to a pallet for arranging parts.

[Prior Art] Various vibrating component alignment devices have been used from the viewpoint of automation.

Such a conventional vibrating component alignment device includes a component alignment pallet on which a large number of components are placed and aligned, a base portion to which the component alignment pallet is fixed by an appropriate fixing means, and a base portion that is attached to the base portion. It is equipped with a fixed vibration generator.

In such a vibrating parts aligning device, the vibration generated by operating the vibration generator is transmitted to the parts aligning pallet through the base part, and the parts aligning pallet is shaken horizontally or vertically. By letting
The parts placed on the parts alignment pallet are accommodated in each part alignment hole provided in the parts alignment pallet, and the parts are aligned.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, there are various types of components that can be aligned using such a vibrating component alignment device. also exists. Place such a small thin plate-like part with one side facing down.
Conventionally, there has been a demand to store and align components in an upright state in the component alignment hole.However, such minute thin plate-shaped components are simply placed on a component alignment pallet, It is impossible to store each component in an upright state in the alignment hole by only applying vibration.Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a vibrating component alignment device for aligning components. The purpose is to arrange and align minute parts formed in thin plate shapes on a pallet in each part storage hole in an upright state with one of the sides facing down.

[Technical means for solving the problem] In order to solve such a technical problem, in the present invention, each component alignment hole provided in the component alignment pallet accommodates one side of the thin plate-shaped component. The component alignment hole is formed in a shape that allows compressed air to be jetted upward, and compressed air jet holes that can jet compressed air upward are provided on both sides of the component alignment hole in the length direction.

[Examples] The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the component alignment pallet according to the present invention, and the component alignment pallet 1o according to the present embodiment has a plurality of component alignment holes 1 opened on the upper surface 2o side.
1 are provided at predetermined intervals.

Each of these component alignment holes 11 is formed into a generally elliptical slit, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG.

The component alignment hole 11 is formed to be larger than the length and thickness of the thin plate to be stored, so that the long side 13 of the thin plate-like component 12 can be easily accommodated, with the long side 13 facing downward. It is formed so that the thin plate-like component 12 can be stored in an upright position.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each component alignment hole 11 includes a hole main body 22 and a guide portion 17 formed to expand above the hole main body 22. The hole main body 22 includes a bottom portion 16 and an inner side portion 19 provided around the bottom portion 16. Further, the guide portion 17 is connected to the inner side surface portion 19 and is formed by a tapered portion that widens upwardly of the component alignment pallet 10.

As shown in FIG. 1, three compressed air ejection holes 15 are provided on both sides of the component alignment hole 11 in the length direction. As shown in FIG. 2, these compressed air jet holes 15 have one end opening in the upper surface part 20 of the component alignment pallet 10, and the other end opening inside the component alignment pallet 10. It communicates with a compressed air supply path 18 provided along the planar direction of 10 .

The operation of the component alignment pallet 10 according to this embodiment will be explained below.

When aligning thin plate-like minute parts using the parts alignment pallet 10 according to the present embodiment, first a large number of thin plate-like parts 12 are placed on the parts alignment pallet 10, and then vibration is generated. A device (not shown) is activated to transmit appropriate vibrations to the parts alignment pallet 10.

Thereafter, by operating a compressed air supply machine (not shown), compressed air is supplied to the parts alignment pallet l.

A compressed air ejection hole portion 1 is provided to communicate with the compressed air supply path 18 provided within the compressed air supply path 18.
5 to above the parts alignment pallet 1o.

In this case, a large number of thin plate-like minute components placed on the component alignment pallet 1o repeatedly jump on the component alignment pallet 10 little by little due to the vibrations applied by the vibration generator, and each Compressed air outlet part 1
5 begins to stand up with one of its sides 13 facing down, and then gradually each component alignment hole 11
They are housed and aligned in an upright state, for example, with the long side 13 facing down, into the hole main body 22 via a guide portion 17 consisting of a tapered portion formed in the hole.

In addition, in this embodiment, the compressed air outlet portion 15
Although the explanation has been made using an example in which the holes are made up of three circular holes provided on both sides of the component alignment hole 11, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the number and shape of the compressed air jet holes are as follows. It is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, the compressed air jet holes may be formed in the shape of slits on both sides of the component alignment hole. Further, the specific configuration of the component alignment hole is not limited to the above embodiment.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the component alignment pallet according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, a large number of thin plate-shaped minute components can be easily placed in each component storage hole in an upright state. It is possible to align the
