Examples of control devices include a robot controller, a line controller for a manufacturing line, a sequencer, an interlock panel, and a control panel.

[0014] [Conveying member configuration] The configuration of the conveying member 100 of the conveying skid 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6. Since the two conveying members 100 of the conveying skid 1 have the same configuration, only the configuration of one of the conveying members 100 will be described below, and the description of the configuration of the other conveying member 100 will be omitted. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the conveying member 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the configuration of the conveying member 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a front view showing an example of the configuration of the conveying member 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the conveying member 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 6 is an enlarged front view of the first portion 110 of the conveying member 100 of FIG. 4.

[0015] The conveying member 100 includes a first portion 110, a second portion 120, and a third portion 130. The first portion 110, the second portion 120, and the third portion 130 are formed of stacked paper sheets. The first portion 110 is configured so that a base 21 of the robot 2 can be placed on the first portion 110 and the base 21 can be fastened thereto. The third portion 130 is configured so that it can be placed on a support surface S. The second portion 120 is disposed between the first portion 110 and the third portion 130 and is configured so that it can support the robot 2 and the first portion 110 placed on the first portion 110 from below. For example, the first portion 110, the second portion 120, and the third portion 130 are joined to each other by a bonding material such as an adhesive.

[0016] The first portion 110 has a plate-like shape extending in a first direction D1, which is the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the first portion 110 has a rectangular plate-like shape, although this is not limited thereto. The first portion 110 has a first surface 111 on which the robot 2 can be placed and a second surface 112 located opposite the first surface 111. The first portion 110 is formed of paper sheets stacked in the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the second direction D2 is a direction from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112, and is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The paper sheets stacked in the second direction D2 of the first portion 110 support the robot 2 in a planar manner.

[0017] The second portion 120 has a beam-like shape extending in the first direction D1, which is the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the second portion 120 has a rectangular prism-like shape, although this is not limited thereto. The second portion 120 is connected to the first portion 110 on the second surface 112 side and extends along the second surface 112. The second portion 120 is formed of paper sheets stacked in a third direction D3, which is different from the second direction D2. The third direction D3 is a direction along the second surface 112. In this embodiment, the third direction D3 is a direction intersecting the first direction D1, e.g., a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1, although this is not limited thereto. The multiple paper sheets stacked in the third direction D3 of the second portion 120 distribute and support the load received from the first portion 110. Because the multiple paper sheets of the second portion 120 extend in the direction of the load received from the first portion 110, the amount of deformation due to the load can be reduced. Furthermore, the paper sheet laminated in the second portion 120 is a corrugated cardboard sheet Pc.

[0018] The first portion 110 protrudes further than the second portion 120 in a fifth direction D5, which is a direction along the first surface 111 and intersects with the first direction D1. Although not limited thereto, in this embodiment, the fifth direction D5 is a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 and is the same direction as the third direction D3 in which the paper sheets of the second portion 120 are stacked.

[0019] The second portion 120 has at least one transport hole 121 configured to be able to receive a transport tool for transporting the robot 2. The transport hole 121 is an example of a tool receiving portion. In the present embodiment, the transport hole 121 is configured to allow the insertion of a transport tool, although this is not limited to this. Furthermore, two transport holes 121 are formed and extend through the second portion 120 in a direction along the second surface 112. Each transport hole 121 extends through the second portion 120 along the second surface 112 and in the third direction D3. Each transport hole 121 is formed with a shape and dimensions that allow the insertion of the claws of a forklift, which is an example of a transport tool.

[0020] The first part 110 has at least one fastening hole 113 on the first surface 111 into which a fastener 3 can be inserted to fasten the base 21 of the robot 2 to the first part 110. The at least one fastening hole 113 penetrates the first part 110 from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112. Although not limited thereto, in this embodiment, the fastener 3 includes a bolt and a nut, and the bolt is passed through the fastening hole in the base 21 and the fastening hole 113 in the first part 110, and the base 21 is fastened to the first part 110 by tightening the bolt and the nut.

[0021] At least one fastening hole 113 is arranged in a protruding portion 114 of the first portion 110 that protrudes from the second portion 120 in the fifth direction D5. Although not limited to this, in the present embodiment, one fastening hole 113 is arranged in a first area 114a that is a partial region of the protruding portion 114, and one fastening hole 113 is arranged in a second area 114b that is another partial region of the protruding portion 114. The first area 114a and the second area 114b are arranged in a region between the two conveying holes 121 in the first direction D1 in the protruding portion 114. The first area 114a and the second area 114b are arranged apart from each other in the first direction D1.

[0022] The first portion 110 includes at least one reinforcing portion 1100 partially around at least one fastening hole 113. The reinforcing portion 1100 is arranged to occupy a portion of the first surface 111. Although not limited thereto, in this embodiment, two reinforcing portions 1100 are arranged in the first area 114a and the second area 114b. The two reinforcing portions 1100 are arranged apart from each other in the first direction D1. Each reinforcing portion 1100 extends from one edge of the first portion 110 to the other edge in the fifth direction D5. The two reinforcing portions 1100 are arranged in a region of the first portion 110 between two conveying holes 121 in the first direction D1. Note that the two reinforcing portions 1100 may be formed in the first portion 110 to include a region adjacent to the two conveying holes 121 in the second direction D2.

[0023] The reinforcing portion 1100 is configured to have greater strength than the portion of the first portion 110 excluding the reinforcing portion 1100. Although not limited to this, in this embodiment, the reinforcing portion 1100 is configured to have strength against compressive force in the second direction D2. The multiple paper sheets stacked in the portion of the first portion 110 excluding the reinforcing portion 1100 are cardboard sheets Pc. The configuration of the multiple paper sheets stacked in the reinforcing portion 1100 is different from the configuration of the multiple paper sheets stacked in the portion of the first portion 110 excluding the reinforcing portion 1100. The multiple paper sheets stacked in the reinforcing portion 1100 include at least solid sheets Ps of cardboard sheets Pc and solid paper sheets Ps (hereinafter also referred to as "solid sheets"), and in this embodiment, both are included.

[0024] 6, in the reinforcing portion 1100, at least the paper sheets forming the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 are solid sheets Ps, and in some cases, the paper sheets forming layers near the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 may also be solid sheets Ps. The solid sheets Ps of the reinforcing portion 1100 extend from one edge to the other edge of the first portion 110 in the fifth direction D5.

[0025] The one layer of cardboard sheet Pc of the reinforcing portion 1100 is continuous with the one layer of cardboard sheet Pc of the portion of the first portion 110 excluding the reinforcing portion 1100, forming one continuous cardboard sheet Pc. This prevents the reinforcing portion 1100 from shifting in position in the direction along the first surface 111. Note that the one layer of cardboard sheet Pc of the reinforcing portion 1100 may be separated from the one layer of cardboard sheet Pc of the portion of the first portion 110 excluding the reinforcing portion 1100.

[0026] The thickness of the solid sheet Ps is preferably 1 mm or more, more preferably 2 mm or more, and even more preferably 5 mm or more. The greater the thickness of the solid sheet Ps, the greater the strength of the solid sheet Ps.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 , the third portion 130 has a plate-like shape extending in a first direction D1, which is the longitudinal direction. The third portion 130 is connected to the second portion 120 on the side opposite the first portion 110. The third portion 130 extends across at least the area of ​​the two conveying holes 121 in the second portion 120 and the area between the two conveying holes 121. In this embodiment, the third portion 130 extends across the entire second portion 120 in the first direction D1. The third portion 130 has a third surface 131 located opposite the second portion 120 and capable of being placed on a support surface S. The third portion 130 is formed of paper sheets stacked in a fourth direction D4 different from the third direction D3. In this embodiment, the fourth direction D4 is the direction from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112 of the first portion 110, and is the same direction as the second direction D2. The paper sheets stacked in the fourth direction D4 of the third portion 130 provide planar support for the multiple paper sheets stacked in the third direction D3 of the second portion 120. The third portion 130 protects the second portion 120 so that the paper sheets of the second portion 120 do not come into direct contact with the support surface S, causing the stacking of the second portion 120 to collapse. Furthermore, the paper sheets stacked in the third portion 130 are cardboard sheets Pc.

[0028] Although not limited thereto, in this embodiment, the first portion 110, the second portion 120, and the third portion 130 each form a wall surface of each conveying hole 121. When the conveying member 100 is placed on a horizontal support surface S, the first portion 110 forms a flat upper inner surface of the conveying hole 121, the third portion 130 forms a flat lower inner surface of the conveying hole 121, and the second portion 120 forms two flat side inner surfaces of the conveying hole 121. The conveying holes 121 are formed as holes with rectangular cross sections. Note that "upper" refers to the upward direction in the direction of gravity, "lower" refers to the downward direction in the direction of gravity, and "side" refers to the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The second portion 120 is composed of three portions divided by the first direction D1, and two gaps between the three portions correspond to the two conveying holes 121.

[0029] In the first portion 110, the two reinforcing portions 1100 are disposed in a region between the two transport holes 121 in the first direction D1. Therefore, when the claws of a forklift, which is an example of a transport tool, are inserted into the transport holes 121 to lift the transport member 100, the claws come into contact with the first portion 110 at a position different from the position of the reinforcing portions 1100. Forces acting on the reinforcing portions 1100 other than the fastening force of the fastener 3 are reduced. For example, the two transport holes 121 may be disposed so that the base 21 of the robot 2 fastened to the first portion 110 reaches above a portion of the first portion 110 adjacent to the transport holes 121 in the second direction D2.

[0030] In this embodiment, at least some of the multiple paper sheets stacked in the reinforcing portion 1100 are solid sheets Ps, but for example, all of the paper sheets may be solid sheets Ps. For example, in the reinforcing portion 1100, solid sheets Ps are arranged on the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 and in the vicinity thereof, but solid sheets Ps may also be arranged near the center of the reinforcing portion 1100 in the direction from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112, or at least one solid sheet Ps and at least one cardboard sheet Pc may be arranged alternately. For example, the entire reinforcing portion 1100 may be a single solid paper block.

[0031] Furthermore, the third portion 130 has a width equal to that of the second portion 120 in the third direction D3, i.e., the fifth direction D5, but is not limited to this. For example, the third portion 130 may have a width greater than that of the second portion 120 in the third direction D3 and may protrude more than the second portion 120 in at least one of the third direction D3 and the direction opposite to the third direction D3. The third portion 130 may protrude more than the second portion 120 in at least one of the first direction D1 and the direction opposite to the first direction D1. Such a third portion 130 can stably support the second portion 120.

[0032] Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110 is not limited to the second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1, and may be, for example, a direction from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112 and diagonally intersecting the second direction D2. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120 is not limited to the third direction D3 perpendicular to the first direction D1, and may be, for example, the first direction D1 or a direction along the second surface 112 and diagonally intersecting the first direction D1. Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120 may be diagonally intersecting the second surface 112. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion 130 is not limited to the fourth direction D4 perpendicular to the first direction D1, and may be, for example, a direction from the second portion 120 to the third surface 131 and diagonally intersecting the fourth direction D4.

[0033] (Variation 1) The conveying member 100A according to the first modification differs from the embodiment in that it includes a fourth portion 140. Below, the present modification will be described, focusing on the differences from the embodiment, and descriptions of the similarities with the embodiment will be omitted as appropriate.

[0034] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a conveying member 100A according to Modification 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the conveying member 100A includes at least one fourth portion 140 in addition to the first portion 110, second portion 120, and third portion 130 similar to those of the embodiment. The fourth portion 140 is connected to the protruding portion 114 of the first portion 110 on the second surface 112 side and is configured to support the protruding portion 114 from below. The fourth portion 140 is formed of paper sheets stacked in a direction different from the second direction D2. Although not limited thereto, the fourth portion 140 may be formed of paper sheets stacked in the first direction D1 or the third direction D3. The multiple stacked paper sheets in the fourth portion 140 distribute and support the load received from the first portion 110. Furthermore, the multiple paper sheets stacked in the fourth portion 140 are cardboard sheets Pc.

[0035] When the conveying member 100A is placed on a flat support surface S, the fourth portion 140 extends from the protruding portion 114 in the second direction D2 so as to contact the support surface S together with the third portion 130. The fourth portion 140 supports the first portion 110 together with the second portion 120 and the third portion 130, and in particular supports the protruding portion 114, suppressing deformation such as bending of the protruding portion 114. The fourth portion 140 may be disposed at any position on the protruding portion 114. For example, the fourth portion 140 may be disposed in at least one of the following regions: a region between the two conveying holes 121 in the first direction D1; a region between one conveying hole 121 and one end of the first portion 110 in the first direction D1; and a region between the other conveying hole 121 and the other end of the first portion 110 in the direction opposite to the first direction D1. In this variation, the fourth portion 140 is disposed in all of these regions.

[0036] Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fourth portion 140 is not limited to the first direction D1 and the third direction D3, but may be, for example, a direction along the second surface 112 and diagonally intersecting the first direction D1 and the third direction D3, or a direction diagonally intersecting the second surface 112.

[0037] (Variation 2) In the conveying member 100B according to the modified example 2, the stacking direction of the paper sheets is different from that of the conveying member 100 according to the embodiment. Below, the modified example will be described focusing on the differences from the embodiment and modified example 1, and the description of the similarities between the embodiment and modified example 1 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0038] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a conveying member 100B according to Modification 2. As shown in Fig. 8, in the conveying member 100B, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in each of the first portion 110B, the second portion 120B, and the third portion 130B is different from the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110, the second portion 120, and the third portion 130 of the embodiment.

[0039] Specifically, in the first portion 110B, paper sheets are stacked in the fifth direction D5, i.e., the third direction D3. Similar to the first portion 110 of the embodiment, the first portion 110B includes a first surface 111B, a second surface 112B, and a protruding portion 114B. Paper sheets are also stacked in each reinforcing portion 1100B of the first portion 110B in the fifth direction D5. In the second portion 120B, paper sheets are stacked in the second direction D2. In the third portion 130B, paper sheets are stacked in the third direction D3, i.e., the fifth direction D5. The paper sheets stacked in the portions of the first portion 110B other than the reinforcing portion 1100B, the second portion 120B, and the third portion 130B are cardboard sheets Pc.

[0040] Although not limited to this, in this modification, in each reinforcement portion 1100B, the paper sheet laminated around the fastening hole 113 is a solid sheet Ps, and the paper sheet laminated around the fastening hole 113 is a cardboard sheet Pc. For example, the portion around the fastening hole 113 formed of the solid sheet Ps corresponds to the protruding portion 114B and may also include the vicinity of the protruding portion 114B. This improves the strength of the reinforcement portion 1100B around the fastening hole 113 and in the protruding portion 114B.

[0041] The cardboard sheet Pc of each reinforcing portion 1100B may be continuous and integrated with the cardboard sheet Pc of the portion of the first portion 110B other than the reinforcing portion 1100B, or may be separated. By integrating the cardboard sheet Pc between the reinforcing portion 1100B and the portion other than the reinforcing portion 1100B, misalignment of the reinforcing portion 1100B is suppressed.

[0042] Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110B is not limited to the fifth direction D5, and may be a direction intersecting with the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110 of the embodiment. For example, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110B may be the first direction D1, or may be a direction that is along the first surface 111B and diagonally intersects with the first direction D1 and the fifth direction D5. Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110B may be a direction that diagonally intersects with the first surface 111B.

[0043] The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120B is not limited to the second direction D2, and may be a direction intersecting the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the first portion 110B and the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120 of the embodiment. For example, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120B may be a direction from the first portion 110B to the third portion 130B and diagonally intersecting the second direction D2. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120B may be the first direction D1, or a direction diagonally intersecting the first direction D1 and the fifth direction D5 and running along the second surface 112B. Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120B may diagonally intersect the second surface 112B.

[0044] The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion 130B is not limited to the third direction D3, and may be a direction intersecting the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120B and the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion 130 of the embodiment. For example, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion 130B may be the first direction D1, or may be a direction along the third surface 131B and diagonally intersecting the first direction D1 and the third direction D3. Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion 130B may diagonally intersect the third surface 131B.

[0045] In addition, in reinforcing portion 1100B, the paper sheets stacked around fastening holes 113 may include cardboard sheets Pc, and the paper sheets stacked around portions other than the portions around fastening holes 113 may include solid sheets Ps. The portions around fastening holes 113 may be a single solid paper block, or the entire reinforcing portion 1100B may be a single solid paper block.

[0046] Furthermore, the conveying member 100B may be provided with a fourth portion 140. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fourth portion 140 may be the same as or different from that of the first modification.

[0047] (Variation 3) The conveying member 100C according to Modification 3 differs from the embodiment in that it includes a fifth portion 150. Below, this modification will be described, focusing on the differences from the embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, and descriptions of the same points as the embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0048] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a conveying member 100C according to Modification 3. As shown in FIG. 9, the conveying member 100C includes, in addition to the first portion 110, the second portion 120, and the third portion 130, a fifth portion 150 disposed between the first portion 110 and the second portion 120. The fifth portion 150 has a plate-like shape extending in the first direction D1 as its longitudinal direction. The fifth portion 150 is formed of paper sheets stacked in a direction different from the third direction D3 and is recessed from the protruding portion 114 in the direction opposite the fifth direction D5. Although not limited thereto, in this modification, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion 150 is the same as that of the first portion 110, i.e., the second direction D2. Furthermore, the fifth portion 150 has the same width as the second portion 120 in the third direction D3 and the same length as the second portion 120 in the first direction D1. The fifth portion 150 can equalize the uneven load received from the first portion 110 and transmit it to the second portion 120, thereby preventing the stack of paper sheets in the second portion 120 from collapsing due to the uneven load.

[0049] In this modification, the fifth portion 150 has a width equivalent to that of the second portion 120 in the third direction D3, but may have a width greater than that of the second portion 120 in the third direction D3 and may protrude more than the second portion 120 in at least one of the third direction D3 and the direction opposite to the third direction D3. The fifth portion 150 has a length equivalent to that of the second portion 120 in the first direction D1, but may have a length greater than that of the second portion 120 in the first direction D1 and may protrude more than the second portion 120 in at least one of the first direction D1 and the direction opposite to the first direction D1.

[0050] The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion 150 is not limited to the second direction D2, and may be a direction intersecting the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion 120. For example, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion 150 may be a direction from the first portion 110 to the second portion 120 and diagonally intersecting the second direction D2. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion 150 may be the first direction D1, or a direction along the second surface 112B and diagonally intersecting the first direction D1 and the fifth direction D5. Furthermore, the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion 150 may be a direction intersecting the second surface 112B diagonally.

[0051] Furthermore, the conveying member 100C may be provided with a fourth portion 140. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fourth portion 140 may be the same as or different from that of the first modification.

[0052] (Variation 4) In Modification 4, the shape of the reinforcing portion differs from that of the embodiment and Modifications 1 to 3. Below, this modification will be described, focusing on the differences from the embodiment and Modifications 1 to 3, and descriptions of the same points as those of the embodiment and Modifications 1 to 3 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0053] Fig. 10 is a front view similar to Fig. 6 showing an example of the configuration of a reinforcement portion 1100D of a conveying member according to Modification 4. As shown in Fig. 10, the reinforcement portion 1100D is formed in the first portion 110D from the first surface 111D to the second surface 112D. The area of ​​a surface 1100Db of the reinforcement portion 1100D on the second surface 112D is different from the area of ​​a surface 1100Da of the reinforcement portion 1100D on the first surface 111D. Although not limited to this, in this modification, the area of ​​the surface 1100Db is larger than the area of ​​the surface 1100Da.

[0054] Furthermore, the reinforcing portion 1100D has a stepped shape extending from the first surface 111D to the second surface 112D between the first surface 111D and the second surface 112D. Although not limited to this, in this modification, the reinforcing portion 1100D has step portions 1100Dd and 1100Dc on its side in the first direction D1 and its side in the opposite direction to the first direction D1, respectively. The step portion 1100Dc includes a step that widens the reinforcing portion 1100D in the opposite direction to the first direction D1 toward the second direction D2. The step portion 1100Dd includes a step that widens the reinforcing portion 1100D in the first direction D1 toward the second direction D2.

[0055] The reinforcing portion 1100D is formed of solid sheets Ps stacked in the second direction D2. The surfaces of the solid sheets Ps forming the step upper surfaces of the stepped portions 1100Dc and Dd are in surface contact with the surface Pca of the cardboard sheet Pc in the portion other than the reinforcing portion 1100D. When the solid sheets Ps of the reinforcing portion 1100D and the cardboard sheet Pc in the portion other than the reinforcing portion 1100D are joined with a joining material such as an adhesive, the joining area is increased, thereby improving the joining strength.

[0056] In this modification, the area of ​​the surface 1100Db in the reinforcing portion 1100D is larger than the area of ​​the surface 1100Da, but is not limited to this. For example, the area of ​​the surface 1100Db may be smaller than the area of ​​the surface 1100Da. Alternatively, the area of ​​the surface 1100Db may be equal to the area of ​​the surface 1100Da. In this case, the positions of the surfaces 1100Da and 1100Db may be offset from each other when viewed from the first surface 111D to the second surface 112D. Step portions 1100Dc and 1100Dd may be formed between the surfaces 1100Da and 1100Db that are offset from each other.

[0057] In this modification, the step portions 1100Dc and Dd are configured to be symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the first direction D1, but are not limited to this. For example, the shapes of the step portions 1100Dc and Dd may be different with respect to a plane perpendicular to the first direction D1. For example, the positions of the step top surfaces in the second direction D2 between the step portions 1100Dc and Dd may be the same or different. The number of steps included in the step portions 1100Dc and Dd may be the same or different. Note that the number of steps included in the step portions 1100Dc and Dd is not limited to one, and may be two or more. This increases the number of solid sheets Ps that come into surface contact with the cardboard sheet Pc.

[0058] The reinforcing portion 1100D may not have a step between the surfaces 1100Da and 1100Db. For example, at least one of the side portion of the reinforcing portion 1100D in the first direction D1 and the side portion in the opposite direction to the first direction D1 may form a tapered surface, a bent surface, a curved surface, or a combination thereof. This also increases the contact area between the reinforcing portion 1100D and portions other than the reinforcing portion 1100D. Furthermore, displacement of the reinforcing portion 1100D in the second direction D2 and / or the direction opposite to the second direction D2 is suppressed.

[0059] The reinforcing portion 1100D may include a corrugated cardboard sheet Pc in some layers. The entire reinforcing portion 1100D may be a single solid block made of paper.

[0060] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiments and modifications of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications. In other words, various modifications and improvements are possible within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the scope of the present disclosure also includes various modifications to the embodiments and modifications, and configurations constructed by combining components of different embodiments and modifications.

[0061] For example, in the conveying members 100, 100A, 100B, and 100C according to the embodiment and modifications, the wall surface of the conveying hole 121 is formed by all of the first portions 110, 110B, and 110D, the second portions 120, 120B, and the third portions 130, 130B, but is not limited to this. The wall surface of the conveying hole 121 may be formed by only the second portions 120, 120B, only the first portions 110, 110B, and 110D and the second portions 120, 120B, or only the second portions 120, 120B and the third portions 130, 130B. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the conveying hole 121 is not limited to a rectangle and may be any shape. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the conveying hole 121 may be a circle, an ellipse, an oval, a triangle, or another polygon, etc. The number of conveying holes 121 arranged in one conveying member 100, 100A, 100B, 100C is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. The cross-sectional shape and number of conveying holes 121 may be a shape according to the structure of the conveying tool, the conveying method using the conveying tool, etc.

[0062] In the embodiments and modifications, the transport hole 121 is exemplified as the instrument receiving portion of the transport member 100, 100A, 100B, 100C, but the configuration of the instrument receiving portion is not limited to a hole. For example, the instrument receiving portion may be a groove or a band-shaped recess extending in the same direction as the transport hole 121, or may be a recess without a band-shaped configuration. The configuration of the instrument receiving portion may be configured according to the structure of the transport instrument and the transport method using the transport instrument, etc.

[0063] In the embodiment and modified examples, the conveying members 100, 100A, 100B, 100C are configured to include the third portions 130, 130B, but are not limited thereto and may not include the third portions 130, 130B. In this case, the second portions 120, 120B may be configured to contact the support surface S. The instrument receiving portion such as the conveying hole 121 may be configured to be formed by only the second portions 120, 120B, or by the first portions 110, 110B, 110D and the second portions 120, 120B.

[0064] In the embodiment and the modified example, the number of fastening holes 113 arranged in one transport member 100, 100A, 100B, 100C is two, but this is not limited thereto and the number may be one or three or more. For example, the number and positions of the fastening holes 113 may be determined depending on the structure, shape, dimensions, etc. of robot-related equipment such as the base 21 of the robot 2.

[0065] In the conveying members 100, 100A, 100B, and 100C according to the embodiment and the modified examples, the reinforcing portions 1100, 1100B, and 1100D are formed in a portion of the first portion 110, 110B, and 110D, but are not limited thereto. For example, the structure of the reinforcing portions 1100, 1100B, and 1100D may be used in the entire first portion 110, 110B, and 110D. The structure of the reinforcing portions 1100, 1100B, and 1100D may be used in at least a portion of the second portion 120 and 120B, at least a portion of the third portion 130 and 130B, at least a portion of the fourth portion 140, and at least a portion of the fifth portion 150.

[0066] In the embodiment and the modified example, the conveying skid 1 is composed of two conveying members 100 having similar configurations, but is not limited to this. For example, the conveying skid 1 may be composed of one or three or more conveying members 100. The configurations of the two or more conveying members 100 constituting the conveying skid 1 may be different.

[0067] In the embodiment and the modified examples, the robot 2, which is an industrial robot, is exemplified as a robot that is an example of robot-related equipment, but robots other than industrial robots may also be used. For example, the robot may be a service robot or a humanoid robot. Service robots are robots used in various service industries such as nursing care, medical care, cleaning, security, guidance, rescue, cooking, and product provision.

[0068] An example of the present disclosure will be described. A transport member according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a transport member for robot-related equipment, and includes: a plate-shaped first portion having a first surface on which the robot-related equipment is placed and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending with a first direction as its longitudinal direction; and a beam-shaped second portion connected to the first portion on the second surface side and supporting the first portion, the second portion extending along the second surface with the first direction as its longitudinal direction, the first portion being formed of paper sheets stacked in the second direction, and the second portion being formed of paper sheets stacked in a third direction different from the second direction, the first portion having fastening holes in the first surface into which fasteners of the robot-related equipment are inserted, and the second portion having an instrument receiving portion for receiving a transport instrument for transporting the robot-related equipment.

[0069] According to the above aspect, the conveying member is formed from a paper sheet, making it lightweight and easy for humans to handle. Furthermore, the conveying member is easy to dispose of after use, reducing disposal costs. The conveying member can also be used as a recyclable resource. The first portion is configured to allow robot-related equipment to be placed on it and to hold the robot-related equipment. The first and second portions are configured so that the conveying tool can transport the robot-related equipment together with the conveying member without directly contacting the robot-related equipment. The conveying member forms a platform that holds and is transported together with the robot-related equipment, enabling stable transport of the robot-related equipment and protection of the robot-related equipment during transport. The stacking directions of the paper sheets in the first portion and the second portion can be different from each other and can be set according to their respective functions. The conveying member has a simple structure including the first and second portions as described above, allowing for miniaturization while maintaining the strength to hold robot-related equipment. For example, such a conveying member can have a beam-like shape as a whole. This allows for miniaturization of the conveying member. For example, the robot-related device can be lifted up and the transport member attached to the robot-related device from below, which makes it easy to align the robot-related device with the transport member.

[0070] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the first portion may include a reinforcing portion around the fastening hole, and the plurality of paper sheets stacked on the reinforcing portion may have a different configuration from the plurality of paper sheets stacked on the portion other than the reinforcing portion, so that the reinforcing portion has greater strength than the portion other than the reinforcing portion of the first portion. According to this aspect, the reinforcing portion can prevent the first portion from being deformed by fastening a fastener in the fastening hole. Therefore, the conveying member can stably hold robot-related equipment.

[0071] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the reinforcing portion may be formed from the first surface to the second surface, and the area of ​​the reinforcing portion on the second surface may be different from the area of ​​the reinforcing portion on the first surface. According to this aspect, the cross-sectional size of the reinforcing portion along the first surface varies from the first surface to the second surface. This prevents the reinforcing portion from shifting relative to the first portion in a direction from the first surface toward the second surface or in a direction opposite to the first surface.

[0072] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the reinforcing portion may have a stepped shape extending from the first surface to the second surface between the first surface and the second surface. According to this aspect, it is possible to increase the contact area between the reinforcing portion and a portion of the first portion other than the reinforcing portion. For example, when the reinforcing portion and a portion of the first portion other than the reinforcing portion are joined by adhesive or the like, it is possible to increase the joining strength. Misalignment of the reinforcing portion with respect to the first portion is suppressed.

[0073] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the plurality of paper sheets stacked in the reinforcing portion may include at least a solid paper sheet selected from a group consisting of cardboard sheets and solid paper sheets, and the plurality of paper sheets stacked in the portion of the first portion other than the reinforcing portion may be cardboard sheets. According to the above aspect, a solid paper sheet can minimize deformation due to compressive force. By using a solid paper sheet in the reinforcing portion, the reinforcing portion can minimize deformation due to fastening of fasteners in the fastening holes, and the portion of the first portion other than the reinforcing portion can reduce the weight of the conveying member.

[0074] In the conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the plurality of paper sheets stacked in the portions other than the first portion may be cardboard sheets. This aspect makes it possible to reduce the weight of the conveying member and the amount of paper material used in the conveying member.

[0075] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the second direction may be a direction from the first surface toward the second surface, and the fastening hole may penetrate the first portion from the first surface to the second surface. According to this aspect, the first portion may be subjected to a compressive force around the fastening hole. Because the stacking direction of the paper sheets is aligned with the extension direction of the fastening hole, even if the first portion is subjected to a compressive force around the fastening hole, the stack of paper sheets is prevented from collapsing.

[0076] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the third direction may be a direction along the second surface, and the tool receiving portion may extend through the second portion in a direction along the second surface. According to this aspect, the load of the robot-related equipment on the first portion may act planarly on the second portion via the second surface. The multiple paper sheets in the second portion are stacked in a direction along the second surface, distributing and supporting the load and suppressing deformation of each sheet. Therefore, the conveying member can stably hold the robot-related equipment.

[0077] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the instrument receiving portion may extend in the third direction along the second surface. According to this aspect, when a conveying instrument is received in the instrument receiving portion and comes into contact with the second portion, the multiple paper sheets of the second portion are stacked in the direction in which the instrument receiving portion extends, thereby distributing the load at the time of contact and suppressing deformation of each of the sheets.

[0078] A conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure may further include a plate-shaped third portion connected to the second portion on the side opposite the first portion and extending with the first direction as its longitudinal direction, the third portion having a third surface located opposite the second portion and contacting a support surface on which the conveying member is placed, the third portion being formed of paper sheets stacked in a fourth direction different from the third direction. According to the above aspect, the third portion can stably support the second portion on the support surface. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the second portion and the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion may be different from each other and may be stacked according to their respective functions.

[0079] The fourth direction may be a direction from the first surface toward the second surface. For example, if the support surface is uneven or irregular, the third portion may receive an uneven reaction force from the support surface. Because the stacking direction of the paper sheets in the third portion is a direction from the first surface toward the second surface, even if the third portion receives an uneven reaction force, the stacking of the paper sheets in the third portion is prevented from collapsing.

[0080] In the conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the instrument receiving portion may be a hole, and the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion may each form a wall surface of the instrument receiving portion. This aspect simplifies processing of the conveying member to form the hole as the instrument receiving portion.

[0081] In a conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the first portion may protrude further than the second portion in a fifth direction that is along the first surface and intersects with the first direction, and the fastening hole may be disposed in a portion of the first portion that protrudes from the second portion. This aspect facilitates insertion and fastening of fasteners into the fastening hole. For example, by engaging a conveying tool such as a forklift claw with the protruding portion, it is possible to convey robot-related equipment and conveying members by a conveying device without using a tool receiving portion.

[0082] The conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure may further include a fourth part connected to the protruding part of the first part on the second surface side and supporting the protruding part, the fourth part being formed of paper sheets stacked in a direction different from the second direction. According to the above aspect, the fourth part can suppress deformation of the protruding part due to the load of a robot-related device.

[0083] The conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure may further include a plate-shaped fifth portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion and extending longitudinally in the first direction, the fifth portion being formed of paper sheets stacked in a direction different from the third direction and recessed from the protruding portion in the direction opposite to the fifth direction. According to the above aspect, the fifth portion can change the distribution of the load received from the first portion and transmit it to the second portion. This prevents the stack of paper sheets in the second portion from collapsing due to the load. The stacking direction of the paper sheets in the fifth portion may be the second direction.

[0084] In the conveying member according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the first portion and the second portion may each form a wall surface of the instrument receiving portion. According to this aspect, processing of the conveying member to form the instrument receiving portion is simplified.

[0085] A transport skid according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes at least two transport members according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the at least two transport members being configured to hold together the base of one of the robot-related devices. According to the above aspect, the transport skid is configured by at least two separated transport members, which enables the overall size of the transport skid to be reduced and the amount of paper material used for the transport skid to be reduced.

[0086] Furthermore, all of the numbers used above, such as ordinal numbers and quantities, are provided as examples to specifically explain the technology of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to the illustrated numbers. Furthermore, the connection relationships between the components are provided as examples to specifically explain the technology of the present disclosure, and the connection relationships that realize the functions of the present disclosure are not limited to these.
