Conventionally, the end effector of the robot was used to supply the insert member to an appropriate position in a product using the insert member.

That is, the position of the preset insert member is converted into data in advance, and accordingly, the end effector of the robot moves the insert members one by one to supply the insert member at the set position.

However, such a method requires a long working time to supply several insert members, thereby degrading mass productivity.

In order to overcome this, the applicant has developed an insert member alignment jig (Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2004-0014235).

However, the above design has a disadvantage in that the part feeder is not only formed on one side but also slightly lowers the work efficiency because the insert member is pushed only by the force provided by the part feeder.

In addition, since it is difficult to continuously supply the insert member to the insert member alignment jig only by the thrust force of the part feeder, the insert member is forcibly compensated for the insufficient thrust force of the part feeder to force the insert member to be aligned. Development of technology to supply the jig is required.

In addition, when there are two types of insert members, the design of the insert member alignment jig becomes more complicated.

In addition, when the length of the insert member is different, there is a need to develop a technology for forcibly supplying the insert member to the insert member alignment jig.

Of course, to provide a thrust to the insert member is to be used in products that require precision, so it must be a non-contact method.

The main plate 100 has an insert member inlet, insert member transport grooves 201, 301 and 401, and a pushing hole.

The insert member inlet is connected to the part feeder connection parts 210, 310, and 420 of the part feeders 200, 300, and 400, and is a place where the insert members 10, 20 are supplied.

The insert members 10 and 20 are composed of two types, the first insert member 10 having short equipment and the second insert member 20 having longer equipment than the first insert member 10.

The first insert member 10 does not fall easily when the shear force is applied to the upper end, but the second insert member 20 differs in that it easily falls when the shear force is applied to the upper end.

In the present invention, insert member pushing mechanisms 230, 330, and 430 are installed to transfer both of the two kinds of insert members 10 and 20.

The part feeder connecting portions 210, 310, and 420 are in a straight line so that the insert members 10 and 20 are lined up so that the interval between the insert members 10 and 20 is constant.

Therefore, the number of insert member inlets is formed as many as the number of insert members 10 and 20 is required.

The insert member conveying grooves 201, 301, and 401 are connected to the pushing hole through the insert member inlet from the parts feeders 200, 300, and 400.

The present invention used an angular part feeder as a part feeder (200, 300, 400). Conventionally, a linear part feeder is further included to increase the feed rate, but the present invention includes insert member pushing mechanisms 230, 330, and 430 that can replace an expensive linear part feeder.

The insert member pushing mechanism (230, 330, 430) is integrally installed at the end of the part feeder side of the upper plate (220, 320, 420), the compressed air supply pipe (233, 333, 433) through which compressed air passes therein is formed, the compressed air supply pipe (233, 333, 433) Branched from) may be formed by the compressed air injection holes (234,334,434) for injecting the compressed air to the insert member (10,20).

The compressed air supply pipes 233, 333, 433 are installed above the insert member transfer grooves 201, 301, 401 so as not to interfere with the progress of the insert members 10, 20.

The structure of the compressed air injection holes 234, 334, and 434 depends on the type of the insert members 10 and 20.

Compressed air injection holes 234 and 334 installed in the insert member pushing mechanisms 230 and 330 on the side to which the first insert member 10 is supplied are located on the upper side of the first insert member 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. Since the inclined downward to supply the compressed air in the feed direction of the insert member 10 can compensate for the force that can be advanced to the first insert member 10, the compressed air injection port (234,334) is an insert member transfer It is formed to be inclined downward toward the grooves 201 and 301.

Then, when the compressed air is blown from the upper side of the second insert member 20, which has long equipment, in the insert member pushing mechanism 430 on the side to which the second insert member 20 is supplied, the second insert member 20 You can't tilt and move forward.

Therefore, since the compressed air injection hole 434 installed in the insert member pushing mechanism 430 should blow compressed air into the center of the second insert member 20, the insert member inclined to the insert member conveying groove 401 on a horizontal plane. While being inclined downward on a vertical surface to face the center of the second insert member 20.

At this time, it is preferable that the compressed air supplied to the compressed air supply pipes 233, 333, 433 be repeatedly supplied and blocked in the form of a pulse, so that the insert members 10 and 20 can be pushed one by one.

The supply and shutoff period may be obtained through repeated experiments considering the pressure and flow rate of the compressed air, the weight of the insert members 10 and 20, and the thrust of the part feeders 200, 300, and 400.

In addition, the compressed air supply pipe (233, 333, 433) is preferably provided with a control valve for controlling the flow rate of the compressed air supplied.

Therefore, it is possible to control the flow rate of the compressed air according to the type of the insert member (10, 20), it is possible to prevent the force is applied to the insert member (10, 20) or more than the required thrust.

As the control valve, a groove having a threaded line formed in a vertical direction with respect to the compressed air supply pipes 233, 333, 433 may be formed, and the tanned bolts 235, 335, 435 may be screwed into the groove.

Therefore, it may be performed by adjusting the cross-sectional area through which the compressed air of the compressed air supply pipes 233, 333, 433 passes by screwing the tannery bolts 235, 335, 435.

The compressed air injection holes 234, 334, 434 are preferably in the shape of a nozzle in order to strengthen the pushing force.

In addition, the upper plates (220, 320, 420) is preferably formed of a transparent material to observe the passage of the insert member (10, 20).

The insert member conveying grooves 201, 301 and 401 extend from the insert member inlet, and are the passages through which the insert members 10 and 20 pass, and the insert member 10 is transferred to the end thereof.

Therefore, the insert member conveying grooves 201, 301 and 401 have a cross-sectional area in which the insert members 10 and 20 can be lined up.
