[0080] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0081] (First Embodiment) First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the drawings used in this embodiment are exaggerated for ease of understanding, and their dimensions differ from the actual dimensions. Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of the peeling system of the first embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is an enlarged view of part A in Figure 1.
[0082] In this embodiment, peeling system 1 and peeling system 101 of the embodiment described later use a mold as an example of the "substrate" and a molded product as an example of the "member to be peeled" of the present invention, and an embodiment is described in which a molded product of a highly malleable and ductile thin film formed by a mold is peeled off by a peeling device. However, the peeling system of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and can be implemented in all embodiments in which a member to be peeled off, including a molded product, is peeled off from the surface of a substrate to which a member to be peeled off can be attached, including a mold.
[0083] However, the peeling system 1, first peeling device 5, second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d of this embodiment, as well as the peeling system 101 and first peeling device 105 of the embodiment described later, are particularly effective when peeling a thin film to be peeled from a substrate, which has high malleability and ductility.
[0084] Furthermore, because the peeling system 1 of this embodiment has a very large number of parts, it was not possible to assign reference numerals (part numbers) to all the parts shown on the paper due to space limitations. Therefore, these reference numerals (part numbers) are assigned to other drawings, and this embodiment and the implementation described later will be explained while referring to multiple drawings.
[0085] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the peeling system 1 of this embodiment comprises an articulated robot 3 and a first peeling device 5 (which also corresponds to the "suction device" of the present invention) rotatably connected to the tip of the articulated robot 3.
[0086] The articulated robot 3 is a standard 7-axis articulated robot installed at location G and operated by commands from the robot controller 8 (see Figure 11).
[0087] The articulated robot 3 has seven axes: a first rotation axis 31 for rotating the second base 32 relative to the first base 30; a second rotation axis 33 for rotating the lower arm 34 forward and backward relative to the second base 32; a third rotation axis 35 for rotating the upper arm 36 up and down relative to the lower arm 34; a fourth rotation axis 37 for coaxially rotating the lower middle arm 38 relative to the upper and lower arm 36; a fifth rotation axis 39 for coaxially rotating the upper middle arm 40 relative to the lower middle arm 38; a sixth rotation axis 41 for rotating the lower upper arm 42 up and down relative to the upper middle arm 40; and a seventh rotation axis 43 for rotating the upper upper arm 44 up and down relative to the lower upper arm 42.
[0088] As described above, the first peeling device 5 is rotatably connected to the tip of the upper arm portion 44 of the articulated robot 3, and peels off the peelable member (molded product) W, which will be described later, that has adhered to the surface of the base material (mold) M, after molding, from the base material M.
[0089] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 of this embodiment can change the spacing (work width) of the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d (which also correspond to the "adsorption device" of the present invention) described later, according to the size of the base material M and the member to be peeled W, and the width between the adsorption parts (adsorption part width), described later, can also be changed in order to peel the member to be peeled W from the base material M.
[0090] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 of this embodiment can individually and simultaneously peel off the four divided members W1, W2, W3, and W4 from the base material M using four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, which will be described later (see Figure 14).
[0091] In this embodiment, the first peeling device 5 peels off the four peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4 from the base material M individually and simultaneously. However, by removing or not operating some of the suction parts, it is possible to peel off not just the four peelable members, but three, two, or one peelable member individually and simultaneously.
[0092] Figure 3 is a bottom view of the first peeling apparatus of this embodiment when the workpiece width is increased and the suction section width is increased, Figure 4 is a front view thereof, Figure 5 is a bottom view of the first peeling apparatus of this embodiment when the workpiece width is decreased and the suction section width is increased, and Figure 6 is a front view thereof.
[0093] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the first peeling device 5 of this embodiment comprises a hollow box-shaped housing 69, which is rotatably connected to the tip of the upper arm 44 of the articulated robot 3 and has a roughly rectangular shape in plan view; a main frame 29 (corresponding to the "second fixing part of the present invention") connected to the housing 69 for moving four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, which will be described later, radially in directions approximately 90 degrees from the center (which is the same position as the main rotation center 67); and four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d (see Figure 3) that can move along the main frame 29 in directions approximately 90 degrees different from each other.
[0094] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the housing 69 and includes a main motor 9 for moving the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d along the main frame 29 in directions approximately 90 degrees apart from each other, a main motor pulley 77 connected to the motor shaft of the main motor 9, a main rotating part timing belt 73 with one end wound around the main motor pulley 77, and a main rotating part pulley 71 wound around the other end of the main rotating part timing belt 73 and rotating around the same position as the main rotating part center 67 (corresponding to the "second position" of the present invention, see Figure 7) (the rotation center of the main rotating part 71 corresponds to the "second drive shaft" of the present invention).
[0095] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 includes a main rotating part 45 (corresponding to the "second rotating part" of the present invention) which is connected coaxially to the rotation center of the main rotating part pulley 71 and has a roughly cross shape in plan view (a state in which one end of the four main rotating bars (corresponding to the "third arm" of the present invention) is joined at a single point at an angle of approximately 90 degrees) in order to change the spacing between the second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d.
[0096] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 further includes an auxiliary part moving link 47a (corresponding to the "second member" of the present invention, see Figure 5) that connects the end of one main rotating bar of the main rotating part 45 to the auxiliary frame 65a (corresponding to the "first fixing part" and "sliding part" of the present invention) and an auxiliary part moving link 47b (corresponding to the "first fixing part" and "sliding part" of the present invention) that connects the end of the other main rotating bar of the main rotating part 45 to the auxiliary frame 65b (corresponding to the "first fixing part" and "sliding part" of the present invention) The device comprises: a "second component" (corresponding to the "second component" of the present invention, see Figure 5); an auxiliary component movement link 47c (corresponding to the "second component" of the present invention, see Figure 5) that connects the end of one other main rotating bar of the main rotating component 45 to the auxiliary frame 65c (corresponding to the "first fixed component" and "sliding component" of the present invention); and an auxiliary component movement link 47d (corresponding to the "second component" of the present invention, see Figures 3 and 5) that connects the end of one other main rotating bar of the main rotating component 45 to the auxiliary frame 65d (corresponding to the "first fixed component" and "sliding component" of the present invention).
[0097] In this embodiment, the first peeling device 5 is configured to transmit the driving force of the main motor 9 via the main rotating pulley 71 in order to move the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d in directions that are approximately 90 degrees apart from each other. However, the driving force may also be transmitted directly from the motor shaft of the main motor 9.
[0098] Furthermore, the main rotating bar (corresponding to the "third arm" of the present invention) refers to the four protruding parts of the main rotating part 45 that extend radially from the main rotating part center 67 (see Figure 7) of the main rotating part 45 in directions of approximately 90 degrees.
[0099] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the main frame 29 has a grid shape with a total of eight protrusions on its outer circumference: two protrusions 79a1 and 79a2, two protrusions 79b1 and 79b2, two protrusions 79c1 and 79c2, and two protrusions 79d1 and 79d2, respectively, so that each of the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d of the second peeling device, which will be described later, can move. Overall, it has a roughly rectangular shape in plan view.
[0100] Furthermore, the main frame 29 is formed along the two aforementioned protrusions 79a1 and 79a2 and includes two auxiliary frame movement rails 25a1 and 25a2 for the auxiliary frame 65a (described later) to move along the main frame 29; two auxiliary frame movement rails 25b1 and 25b2 for the auxiliary frame 65b (described later) to move along the main frame 29, formed along two protrusions 79b1 and 79b2; two auxiliary frame movement rails 25c1 and 25c2 for the auxiliary frame 65c (described later) to move along the main frame 29, formed along two protrusions 79c1 and 79c2; and two auxiliary frame movement rails 25d1 and 25d2 for the auxiliary frame 65d (described later) to move along the main frame 29, formed along two protrusions 79d1 and 79d2.
[0101] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 includes auxiliary frame moving carriages 81a1 and 81a2 (see Figure 7) that can move along two auxiliary frame moving rails 25a1 and 25a2, auxiliary frame moving carriages 81b1 and 81b2 (see Figure 7) that can move along two auxiliary frame moving rails 25b1 and 25b2, auxiliary frame moving carriages 81c1 and 81c2 (see Figure 7) that can move along two auxiliary frame moving rails 25c1 and 25c2, and auxiliary frame moving carriages 81d1 and 81d2 (see Figure 7) that can move along two auxiliary frame moving rails 25d1 and 25d2.
[0102] Furthermore, the first peeling device 5 is equipped with three mold release agent spray nozzles 63a, 63b, and 63c (corresponding to the "coating section" of the present invention) for applying a mold release agent to the surface of the base material M after the member to be peeled W has been peeled from the base material M, in order to facilitate the next peeling of the member to be peeled W from the base material M.
[0103] Specifically, the mold release agent spray nozzle 63b located in the center is provided on the main frame 29 on the side opposite to the articulated robot 3 relative to the main frame 29, the mold release agent spray nozzle 63a, which is positioned adjacent to the mold release agent spray nozzle 63b, is provided on the auxiliary frame 65a on the side opposite to the articulated robot 3 relative to the auxiliary frame 65a, and the mold release agent spray nozzle 63c, which is positioned on the opposite side from the mold release agent spray nozzle 63a relative to the mold release agent spray nozzle 63b, is provided on the auxiliary frame 65b on the side opposite to the articulated robot 3 relative to the auxiliary frame 65b.
[0104] Next, we will explain the operation of the first peeling device 5 described above.
[0105] In the first peeling device 5, when the main motor 9 is rotated counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip, the main motor pulley 77, the main rotating part timing belt 73, and the main rotating part pulley 71 rotate in the same direction, and the main rotating part 45 rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 5.
[0106] Then, in Figure 5, when the main rotating part 45 rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d move outward by the auxiliary moving links 47a, 47b, 47c, and 47d.
[0107] Specifically, the auxiliary frame movement link 47a moves the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81a1 and 81a2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65a outward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25a1 and 25a2 (see Figure 7), and the auxiliary frame movement link 47b moves the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81b1 and 81b2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65b outward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25b1 and 25b2 (see Figure 7). As the auxiliary frame is moved, the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81c1 and 81c2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65c move outward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25c1 and 25c2 (see Figure 7) by the auxiliary frame movement link 47c, and the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81d1 and 81d2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65d move outward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25d1 and 25d2 (see Figure 7) by the auxiliary frame movement link 47d.
[0108] Figure 3 is a bottom view showing the state in which auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d have moved outwards, and Figure 4 is a front view thereof.
[0109] On the other hand, in the first peeling device 5, when the main motor 9 is rotated clockwise toward the motor shaft tip, the main motor pulley 77, the main rotating part timing belt 73, and the main rotating part pulley 71 rotate in the same direction, and the main rotating part 45 rotates counterclockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 3.
[0110] Then, in Figure 3, when the main rotating part 45 rotates counterclockwise toward the plane of the paper, the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d move inward by the auxiliary moving links 47a, 47b, 47c, and 47d.
[0111] Specifically, the auxiliary frame movement link 47a moves the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81a1 and 81a2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65a inward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25a1 and 25a2 (see Figure 7), and the auxiliary frame movement link 47b moves the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81b1 and 81b2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65b inward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25b1 and 25b2 (see Figure 7). As the auxiliary frame is moved, the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81c1 and 81c2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65c move inward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25c1 and 25c2 (see Figure 7) by the auxiliary frame movement link 47c, and the auxiliary frame movement carriages 81d1 and 81d2 (see Figure 7) of the auxiliary frame 65d move inward along the two auxiliary frame movement rails 25d1 and 25d2 (see Figure 7) by the auxiliary frame movement link 47d.
[0112] Figure 5 is a bottom view showing the state in which the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d have moved inward, and Figure 6 is a front view thereof.
[0113] As described above, the first peeling device 5 of this embodiment can change the spacing (work width) of the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, which will be described later, according to the size of the base material M and the member to be peeled W.

[0120] Furthermore, the second peeling device 7a includes a cutter section 53a (corresponding to the "cutting section" of the present invention) that rotates and opens and closes around the cutter section rotation center 51a by opening and closing the cutter first gripping section 55a and the cutter second gripping section 57a; a cutter section lowering plate 59a connected to the suction section moving carriage 17a2 and having an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the outside, for lowering the cutter section 53a to the cutting position in order to cut the gate formed on the peeled part W1, which will be described later; and a rotatable cutter section lowering pulley 61a connected to the auxiliary frame bar of the auxiliary frame 65a and for lowering the cutter section 53a to the cutting position along the cutter section lowering plate 59a.

[0178] Next, the operation of the cutter sections of the second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d for cutting the gate of the member to be peeled W will be described.
[0179] Figure 9 is a bottom view of the first peeling apparatus of this embodiment when the workpiece width is reduced and the cutter section is cut, and Figure 10 is a front view thereof.

[0182] First, in the second peeling device 7a, as described above, when the auxiliary motor 11a is rotated counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 5 and 6, the auxiliary rotating part 21a rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 5.
[0183] Then, in Figure 5, when the auxiliary rotating part 21a rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the suction part moving carriages 17a1, 17a2, 17a3, and 17a4 move inward along the suction part moving rails 27a1, 27a2, 27a3, and 27a4 by the suction part moving links 19a1, 19a2, 19a3, and 19a4, causing the four first suction parts 13a1, 13a2, 13a3, and 13a4 to move inward, and the cutter part lowering plate 59a, which has an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the outside, comes into contact with the cutter part lowering pulley 61a, causing the cutter part lowering pulley 61a to rotate and descend along the cutter part lowering plate 59a, and the auxiliary frame 65a to which the cutter part lowering pulley 61a is connected also descends.
[0184] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7b, as described above, when the auxiliary motor 11b is rotated counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 5 and 6, the auxiliary rotating part 21b rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 5.

[0187] Then, in Figure 5, when the auxiliary rotating part 21c rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the suction part moving carriages 17c1, 17c2, 17c3, and 17c4 move inward along the suction part moving rails 27c1, 27c2, 27c3, and 27c4 by the suction part moving links 19c1, 19c2, 19c3, and 19c4, causing the four third suction parts 13c1, 13c2, 13c3, and 13c4 to move inward, and the cutter part lowering plate 59c, which has an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the outside, comes into contact with the cutter part lowering pulley 61c, causing the cutter part lowering pulley 61c to rotate and descend along the cutter part lowering plate 59c, and the auxiliary frame 65c to which the cutter part lowering pulley 61c is connected also to descend.
[0188] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7d, as described above, when the auxiliary motor 11d is rotated counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 5 and 6, the auxiliary rotating part 21d rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 5.
[0189] Then, in Figure 5, when the auxiliary rotating part 21d rotates clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the suction part moving carriages 17d1, 17d2, 17d3, and 17d4 move inward along the suction part moving rails 27d1, 27d2, 27d3, and 27d4 by the suction part moving links 19d1, 19d2, 19d3, and 19d4, causing the four fourth suction parts 13d1, 13d2, 13d3, and 13d4 to move inward, and the cutter part lowering plate 59d, which has an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the outside, comes into contact with the cutter part lowering pulley 61d, causing the cutter part lowering pulley 61d to rotate and descend along the cutter part lowering plate 59d, and the auxiliary frame 65d to which the cutter part lowering pulley 61d is connected also to descend.
[0190] Figure 7 is a bottom view showing the state in which the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d are moved inward, the four auxiliary motors 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d are rotated counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip, the first suction parts 13a1-13a4, the second suction parts 13b1-13b4, the third suction parts 13c1-13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1-13d4 move inward, and the cutter section lowering plates 59a-59d come into contact with the cutter section lowering pulleys 61a-61d, causing the cutter section lowering pulleys 61a-61d and auxiliary frames 65a-65d to descend, and Figure 8 is a front view of the same.
[0191] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7a, if the auxiliary motor 11a is rotated further counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 7 and 8 above, the auxiliary rotating part 21a rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 7.
[0192] Then, in Figure 7, when the auxiliary rotating part 21a rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the cutter operating roller 49a, which is rotatably connected to the outer end of one of the auxiliary rotating bar bars of the auxiliary rotating part 21a, comes into contact with the cutter first gripping part 55a, causing the cutter first gripping part 55a to rotate around the cutter rotation center 51a. As a result, the cutter part 53a cuts the gate of the member to be peeled W by closing the cutter first gripping part 55a and the cutter second gripping part 57a.
[0193] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7b, if the auxiliary motor 11b is rotated further counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 7 and 8 above, the auxiliary rotating part 21b rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 7.
[0194] Then, in Figure 7, when the auxiliary rotating part 21b rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the cutter operating roller 49b, which is rotatably connected to the outer end of one of the auxiliary rotating bar bars of the auxiliary rotating part 21b, comes into contact with the cutter first gripping part 55b, causing the cutter first gripping part 55b to rotate around the cutter rotation center 51b. As a result, the cutter part 53b cuts the gate of the member to be peeled W by closing the cutter first gripping part 55b and the cutter second gripping part 57b.
[0195] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7c, if the auxiliary motor 11c is rotated further counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 7 and 8 above, the auxiliary rotating part 21c will rotate further clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 7.
[0196] Then, in Figure 7, when the auxiliary rotating part 21c rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the cutter operating roller 49c, which is rotatably connected to the outer end of one of the auxiliary rotating bar bars of the auxiliary rotating part 21c, comes into contact with the cutter first gripping part 55c, causing the cutter first gripping part 55c to rotate around the cutter rotation center 51c. As a result, the cutter part 53c cuts the gate of the member to be peeled W by closing the cutter first gripping part 55c and the cutter second gripping part 57c.
[0197] Furthermore, in the second peeling device 7d, if the auxiliary motor 11d is rotated further counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip from the state shown in Figures 7 and 8 above, the auxiliary rotating part 21d rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper in Figure 7.
[0198] Then, in Figure 7, when the auxiliary rotating part 21d rotates further clockwise toward the plane of the paper, the cutter operating roller 49d, which is rotatably connected to the outer end of one of the auxiliary rotating bar bars of the auxiliary rotating part 21d, comes into contact with the cutter first gripping part 55d, causing the cutter first gripping part 55d to rotate around the cutter rotation center 51d. As a result, the cutter part 53d cuts the gate of the member to be peeled W by closing the cutter first gripping part 55d and the cutter second gripping part 57d.
[0199] Figure 9 is a bottom view showing the state in which the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d are moved inward, and the four auxiliary motors 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d are rotated further counterclockwise toward the motor shaft tip, closing the first cutter gripping section 55a and the second cutter gripping section 57a, closing the first cutter gripping section 55b and the second cutter gripping section 57b, closing the first cutter gripping section 55c and the second cutter gripping section 57c, and closing the first cutter gripping section 55d and the second cutter gripping section 57d, and Figure 10 is a front view of the same state.
[0200] Furthermore, if the auxiliary rotating part 21a then rotates counterclockwise toward the paper, the first cutter gripping part 55a and the second cutter gripping part 57a will open due to the compression springs (not shown) engaged with them, and the cutter part 53a will also open.
[0201] Furthermore, if the auxiliary rotating part 21b subsequently rotates counterclockwise toward the paper, the first cutter gripping part 55b and the second cutter gripping part 57b will open due to the compression springs (not shown) engaged with them, and the cutter part 53b will also open.
[0202] Furthermore, when the auxiliary rotating part 21c rotates counterclockwise toward the paper, the first cutter gripping part 55c and the second cutter gripping part 57c open due to the compression springs (not shown) engaged with them, and the cutter part 53c also opens.

[0204] Next, a block diagram of the peeling system 1 of this embodiment will be described.
[0205] Figure 11 is a block diagram of the peeling system of this embodiment, and Figure 12 is a block diagram of the main controller of the peeling system of this embodiment.
[0206] In Figure 11, the peeling system 1 comprises a main controller 6 electrically connected to a power supply 4, a robot controller 8 electrically connected to the main controller 6 for controlling the articulated robot 3, a motor driver 10 electrically connected to the main controller 6 for driving the main motor 9 and four auxiliary motors 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, an air compressor 12 electrically connected to the main controller 6 for driving the first suction parts 13a1, 13a2, 13a3, and 13a4, the second suction parts 13b1, 13b2, 13b3, and 13b4, the third suction parts 13c1, 13c2, 13c3, and 13c4, the fourth suction parts 13d1, 13d2, 13d3, and 13d4, and the mold release agent spray nozzles 63a, 63b, and 63c, and an operation panel 2 for the operator of the peeling system 1 to send commands to the peeling system 1.
[0207] Furthermore, in Figure 12, the main controller 6 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 14, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 16 connected to the CPU 14 for input / output, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 18 connected to the CPU 14 for input / output.
[0208] The RAM16 includes a mold information table 16a that stores information such as the shape of the base material (mold) M used by the peeling system 1, and a peelable member information table 16b that stores information such as the shape and number of peelable members to be peeled off by the peeling system 1.
[0209] Furthermore, the ROM 18 includes a main program 18a that controls the operation of the entire peeling system 1 of this embodiment.
[0210] Next, the operation of the peeling system 1 with the above configuration will be described.
[0211] Figure 13 is a flowchart of the main program in the peeling system of this embodiment, and Figure 14 is an overall plan view of the member to be peeled used in the peeling system of this embodiment.
[0212] As described above, the peeling system 1 of this embodiment comprises an articulated robot 3 and a first peeling device 5 rotatably connected to the tip of the articulated robot 3. The first peeling device 5, using four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, can individually and simultaneously peel off four separate peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4 from the base material M, which are obtained by dividing the member to be peeled W.
[0213] Therefore, the peeling member W used in the peeling system of this embodiment is peeled off from the substrate M, as shown in Figure 14, and comprises four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4, each of which is peeled off individually.
[0214] Furthermore, the peelable member W1 comprises a main part W1a that constitutes the final part to be used, a discarded part W1b that does not constitute the part, and a gate G1 for flowing the molten material of the peelable member W1 onto the base material M; the peelable member W2 comprises a main part W2a that constitutes the final part to be used, a discarded part W2b that does not constitute the part, and a gate G2 for flowing the molten material of the peelable member W2 onto the base material M; the peelable member W3 comprises a main part W3a that constitutes the final part to be used, a discarded part W3b that does not constitute the part, and a gate G3 for flowing the molten material of the peelable member W3 onto the base material M; the peelable member W4 comprises a main part W4a that constitutes the final part to be used, a discarded part W4b that does not constitute the part, and a gate G4 for flowing the molten material of the peelable member W4 onto the base material M.
[0215] In Figure 13, first, the operator of the peeling system 1 turns on the power switch, then inputs information such as the type of base material (mold) M, the size of the member to be peeled, and the number of items to be processed using the operation buttons on the operation panel 2, and presses the start button. The peeling system 1 then moves the arm of the articulated robot 3 to its initial position (S1), obtains base material (mold) information from the mold information table 16a based on the input information (S3), obtains member to be peeled information from the member to be peeled information table 18b (S5), and sets the number of members to be peeled W to be processed (S7).
[0216] Then, it is determined whether or not molding by the base material (mold) M is completed (S9). If it is determined that molding by the base material (mold) M is not completed (S9: No), the system waits until molding is completed. If it is determined that molding by the base material (mold) M is completed (S9: Yes), the main rotating part 45 of the first peeling device 5 is rotated to move the suction positions of the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d in the +X direction and / or -Xj direction, adjusting them to match the four peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4 formed by dividing the peelable member W formed on the base material (mold) (S11).
[0217] Figure 15 shows the state before the first peeling device 5 rotates the main rotating part 45 to match the sizes of the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4, and Figure 16 shows the state after the first peeling device 5 rotates the main rotating part 45 to match the sizes of the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4.
[0218] Furthermore, Figure 17 is an enlarged view of section B in Figure 16, in which case the lower ends of the needle sections 75a1-75a4, 75b1-75b4, 75c1-75c4 and 75d1-75d4 are located at a distance X3 above the lower ends of the first suction sections 13a1-13a4, the second suction sections 13b1-13b4, the third suction sections 13c1-13c4 and the fourth suction sections 13d1-13d4, respectively.
[0219] Returning to the main program, the main rotating part 45 of the first peeling device 5 is rotated to adjust the suction positions of the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d to match the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4 which are formed by dividing the peeling member W formed on the base material (mold) (S11). Then, the first peeling device 5 moves the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d downwards (in the -Z direction, see Figure 16) to adsorb the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4, respectively (S13).
[0220] Figure 18 shows the state in which the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d of the first peeling device 5 have adsorbed the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4, respectively, and Figure 19 is an enlarged view of section C in Figure 18.
[0221] Here, the first adsorption parts 13a1-13a4, the second adsorption parts 13b1-13b4, the third adsorption parts 13c1-13c4, and the fourth adsorption parts 13d1-13d4 flex when adsorbing the member to be peeled W, so that the needle parts 75a1-75a4, 75b1-75b4, 75c1-75c4, and 75d1-75d4 are inside the member to be peeled W. Susumu The lower ends of the needle portions 75a1-75a4, 75b1-75b4, 75c1-75c4, and 75d1-75d4 are located at a distance X4 below the lower ends (surface of the peeled member W) of the first suction portion 13a1-13a4, the second suction portion 13b1-13b4, the third suction portion 13c1-13c4, and the fourth suction portion 13d1-13d4, respectively.
[0222] Furthermore, the first suction parts 13a1-13a4, the second suction parts 13b1-13b4, the third suction parts 13c1-13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1-13d4 are positioned to adsorb the member to be peeled W, and the needle parts 75a1-75a4, 75b1-75b4, 75c1-75c4, and 75d1-75d4 are positioned within the member to be peeled W. Susumu The insertion points correspond to the discarded portions W1b, W2b, W3b, and W4b of the member to be peeled W, respectively. Since these are parts that do not ultimately constitute a component, the member to be peeled W can be peeled from the base material M without damaging the essential parts that ultimately constitute the component.
[0223] If there are no surface scratches or other issues, the positions in which the first suction parts 13a1~13a4, the second suction parts 13b1~13b4, the third suction parts 13c1~13c4 and the fourth suction parts 13d1~13d4 adsorb onto the member to be peeled W, and the needle parts 75a1~75a4, 75b1~75b4, 75c1~75c4 and 75d1~75d4 are located within the member to be peeled W. Susumu The insertion point can be any position on the member W to be peeled off.
[0224] Then, the auxiliary rotating parts 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d provided on each of the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d are rotated to reduce the spacing between the first adsorption parts 13a1 to 13a4, the second adsorption parts 13b1 to 13b4, the third adsorption parts 13c1 to 13c4, and the fourth adsorption parts 13d1 to 13d4 (S15).
[0225] As shown in Figure 20, the peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4 formed on the substrate (mold) M are then peeled away from the substrate (mold) M. Figure 20 shows the state in which, after the first adsorption parts 13a1-13a4, the second adsorption parts 13b1-13b4, 13a1-13a4, and the second adsorption parts 13b1-13b4 each adsorb the peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4, the distances between the first adsorption parts 13a1-13a4, the second adsorption parts 13b1-13b4, the third adsorption parts 13c1-13c4, and the fourth adsorption parts 13d1-13d4 are reduced, and the peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4 are peeled away from the substrate (mold) M.
[0226] Then, the first peeling device 5, which is equipped with the second peeling device 7a, the second peeling device 7b, the second peeling device 7c, and the second peeling device 7d, is moved upward (in the +Z direction, see Figure 21) to separate it from the base material (mold) M, and the peeled members W1, W2, W3, and W4 are removed from the base material (mold) M (S17).
[0227] At that time, in order to facilitate the removal of the member to be removed W during the next molding process, a release agent is sprayed onto the surface of the base material (mold) M by three release agent spray nozzles 63a, 63b, and 63c that are evenly arranged along the entire width of the base material (mold) M (S19).
[0228] Figure 21 shows the state in which the first release device 5, equipped with second release devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, separates from the substrate (mold) M while adsorbing the member to be released W, and the three release agent spray nozzles 63a, 63b, and 63c spray the release agent toward the surface of the substrate (mold) M. Figure 22 shows the state after the spraying.
[0229] Then, the auxiliary rotating parts 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d provided on each of the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d are rotated in the reverse direction to expand the spacing between the first suction parts 13a1 to 13a4, the second suction parts 13b1 to 13b4, the third suction parts 13c1 to 13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1 to 13d4 (S21). The first peeling device 5, equipped with the second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, is moved downward (-Z direction, see Figure 22) to temporarily place the member to be peeled W onto another plate P, and the first peeling device 5 is moved upward again (+Z direction, see Figure 23) (S23).
[0230] Figure 23 shows the state in which the auxiliary rotating parts 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d are rotated in the reverse direction to expand the spacing between the first suction parts 13a1 to 13a4, the second suction parts 13b1 to 13b4, the third suction parts 13c1 to 13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1 to 13d4, and the member to be peeled off W is temporarily placed on another plate.
[0231] Then, the auxiliary rotating parts 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d of the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d are rotated in the forward direction to reduce the distance between the first suction parts 13a1 to 13a4, the second suction parts 13b1 to 13b4, the third suction parts 13c1 to 13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1 to 13d4 to such an extent that the cutter parts 53a, 53b, 53c, and 53d do not operate. After that, the four second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d are used to re-adsorb the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4, respectively.
[0232] Subsequently, the auxiliary rotating parts 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d are further rotated in the forward direction to close the cutter first gripping part 55a and cutter second gripping part 57a, the cutter first gripping part 55b and cutter second gripping part 57b, the cutter first gripping part 55c and cutter second gripping part 57c, and the cutter first gripping part 55d and cutter second gripping part 57d, so that the cutter part 53a, cutter part 53b, cutter part 53c, and cutter part 53d cut the gates G1, G2, G3, and G4 of the peeled members W1, W2, W3, and W4 (S25).
[0233] Figure 24 shows the state in which the cutter sections 53a, 53b, 53c, and 53d are set on the gates G1, G2, G3, and G4 of the members to be peeled W1, W2, W3, and W4, and Figure 25 shows the state in which the cutter sections 53a, 53b, 53c, and 53d are operated to cut the gates G1, G2, G3, and G4 of the members to be peeled W1, W2, W3, and W4.
[0234] Then, the first peeling device 5 separates from the peeled member W (S27), and it is determined whether or not the number of processes of the peeling system 1 has reached the number of peelings input by the operator (S29). If the number of peelings of the peeling system 1 has not reached the number of peelings input by the operator (S29: No), the processes from S9 to S29 are repeated until the number of peelings is reached. If the number of peelings of the peeling system 1 has reached the number of peelings input by the operator (S29: Yes), the process is terminated (S31).
[0235] In addition, the process of S13 in this embodiment functions as the "first step" and "third step" of the present invention, and the processes of S15 and S17 in this embodiment function as the "second step" and "fourth step" of the present invention.
[0236] According to the second peeling devices 7a, 7b, 7c, or 7d of this embodiment, for the purpose of peeling the peeled member W formed on the surface of the base material M from the base material M, particularly, a plurality of first suction portions 13a1 to 13a4, second suction portions 13b1 to 13b4, third suction portions 13c1 to 13c4, or fourth suction portions 13d1 to 13d4 that can adsorb to the surface of the peeled member W, and a scaling mechanism that expands and contracts the distance between these plurality of suction portions are provided. Therefore, even when the peeled member W is adhered to the base material M, the peeled member W can be easily peeled from the base material M by expanding and contracting the interval between the plurality of suction portions by the scaling mechanism.

[0260] Figure 26 shows the state before the first peeling device 105 rotates the main rotating part 45 to match the sizes of the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4. In this case, the lower ends of the contact parts 175a1~175a4, 175b1~175b4, 175c1~175c4, and 175d1~175d4 are located at a distance X5 above the lower ends of the first suction parts 13a1~13a4, the second suction parts 13b1~13b4, the third attachment parts 13c1~13c4, and the fourth suction parts 13d1~13d4, respectively, as shown in Figure 27.
[0261] Then, the main rotating part 45 of the first peeling device 5 is rotated to adjust the suction positions of the auxiliary frames 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d to match the four peeling members W1, W2, W3, and W4 formed by dividing the peeling member W formed on the base material (mold) (S11 in Figure 13). After that, the first peeling device 105 is operated by the four second peeling devices 107a, 107b, 107c, and 107d, respectively. When the four peelable members W1, W2, W3, and W4 are adsorbed (S13 in Figure 13), as shown in Figure 28, the first adsorption parts 13a1~13a4, the second adsorption parts 13b1~13b4, the third contact parts 13c1~13c4, and the fourth adsorption parts 13d1~13d4 flex when adsorbing the peelable members W, causing the contact parts 175a1~175a4, 175b1~175b4, 175c1~175c4, and 175d1~175d4 to come into contact with the peelable members W.
