Workpiece transporting device

Abstract

A work transporting device is provided to discharge works in a work receiving concave unit to a work discharging pipe by re-driving a work discharging device after moving a transporting table by a predetermined distance when the works are not discharged from the work receiving concave unit. A work transporting device includes a base(2), a transporting table(1), a work discharging device, a work discharging pipe, and a detecting sensor. The transporting table(1) is rotatably arranged on the base(2), has a plurality of work receiving concave units(1a) receiving works(W), and discharges the works(W) from the work receiving concave units(1a) at a work discharging position. The work discharging device is installed at one side of the work receiving concave unit(1a) at the work discharging position, and discharges the works(W) in the work receiving concave units(1a). The work discharging pipe is installed at the other side of the work receiving concave unit(1a) at the work discharging position, and receives the works(W) discharged by the work discharging device. The detecting sensor detects the works(W) in the work receiving concave units(1a) at the work discharging position. The transporting table(1) and the work discharging device are controlled by a controlling unit(20). The controlling unit moves the transporting table(1) by a predetermined distance if the works(W) are not discharged from the work receiving concave units(1a) when the work discharging device is driven based on a signal from the detecting sensor.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a workpiece conveying device for conveying and discharging a workpiece, and more particularly to a workpiece conveying device capable of reliably discharging a workpiece. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a workpiece conveying device for conveying and discharging a workpiece, the following workpiece conveying device is known, which includes: a base; and rotatably arranged on the base and formed on the outer periphery to accommodate the workpiece. A conveying table with a plurality of workpiece storage recesses. The conveying table can acquire a plurality of workpiece discharge positions, and the workpieces in the workpiece storage recesses are discharged outward from the workpiece discharge positions. [0003] In addition, in the vicinity of the discharge position of each workpiece on the conveying table, a workpiece ejection mechanism that uses air to eject the workpiece is installed on one side of the workpi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, even if the workpiece is ejected by the workpiece ejection mechanism, the workpiece cannot be ejected reliably at the desired workpiece ejection position, and the workpiece may remain in the workpiece storage recess.

[0007] In this case, the air is repeatedly ejected by the workpiece ejection mechanism, but if the workpiece remains in the workpiece storage recess, the remaining workpiece will come into contact with the workpiece discharge pipe and cause damage.

[0008] In order to avoid this situation, if the workpiece remains in the workpiece storage recess, the equipment must be stopped at any time for processing. This will not only hinder the continuous operation, but also cannot be discharged at the predetermined discharge position, so it becomes the main cause of erroneous discharge. reason
