JPH0619602U - Electric chair for flow work - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide an electric chair in which one worker can easily perform the flow work to make products while moving between various machines. [Structure] A traveling member 4 is provided with a guide member 3 for guiding the vehicle to travel along a guide rail 2 and a traveling wheel 1. A chair 5 is provided on the traveling device 4, and running / stopping switches 7 and 8 that can be operated by a worker with feet are provided at step 6 provided at the lower front portion of the chair 5. [Effect] Since the worker sitting on the chair 5 can operate the switches 7 and 8 with his / her feet to move to the next machine while using both hands for making a product, the worker can work efficiently.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electric chair suitable for a flow work in which a worker moves between a large number of production machines to perform production or assembly work in a production factory or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the assembly line work at a production factory, when a worker takes charge of a predetermined production machine and a work-in-process finished in the previous process moves, the work-in-process is processed or assembled in a predetermined manner to the next process. Although it is common to send it, for example, in a sewing factory, there is also a working mode in which one worker uses various sewing machines to finish products such as clothes to the end. In this work mode, a worker walks between a large number of dedicated sewing machines while holding a work-in-progress machine being manufactured.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the work mode in which one worker finishes a product by using various dedicated machines, the worker walks with a work-in-progress, which causes severe fatigue. Therefore, the present invention aims to reduce fatigue by allowing a worker to move while sitting on a chair.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, a chair 5 is erected on a traveling device 4 provided with guide wheels 2 for traveling and guide rails 2 laid on the floor, and a chair 5 is erected on the front lower portion of the chair 5. The electric chair for flow operation was constructed by installing switches 7 and 8 for running and stopping that can be operated by the operator's feet on the top 6.

[0005]

[Operation and effect of the device]

 When using the electric chair configured as described above, first, the guide rail 2 is installed so as to go around the working positions of various dedicated machines. The worker sitting on the chair 5 can move to the dedicated machine for the next process by operating the switches 7 and 8 provided in step 6 with his / her feet as needed while working with both hands. . In this way, since the worker can move between the dedicated machines while sitting with both hands available, quick work can be performed easily.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the electric chair of the present invention is used in a sewing factory. A guide rail 2 having a U-shaped cross section is laid on the floor around the work front side of each dedicated sewing machine 10, 10. An electric chair 11 is attached so as to travel along the rail 2.

The electric chair is provided with a trapezoidal traveling device 4 at its lower portion, and the chair 5 is fixed to the upper end of a supporting leg 12 standing upright in the center of the traveling device 4. The orientation of the chair 5 is such that the supporting leg 12 can be pivoted to be fixed at an appropriate rotational position, and the supporting leg 12 can be expanded and contracted to change the height from the floor. A battery, a motor for driving the wheels 1, and the like are housed inside the box-shaped traveling device 4. A guide roller 3 that fits in a groove of the guide rail 2 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the traveling device 4, and four traveling wheels 1 are provided so as to straddle the guide rail 2. All wheels of the wheel 1 or two of them are driven by a motor.

Further, a window hole 13 for an ultrasonic sensor for measuring the distance from the adjacent electric chair 11 is provided on the side surface of the traveling device 4, and the traveling is stopped when the electric chairs 11 are too close to each other. To prevent collisions. At the lower front of the chair 5, steps 6 and 6 are provided by projecting the support arm 14 from the bottom surface of the chair 5. Switches 7 and 8 for stepping are provided on one of the steps. One switch 7 is for starting traveling, and the other switch 8 is for stopping. The electric chair 11 travels in the lateral direction of the chair 5, but when it is detached from the guide rail 2 and used alone, the chair 5 may be fixed in the traveling direction.
