Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[A] First embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 4)
FIG. 1 is a side view showing a first embodiment of a workbench facility according to the present invention with a part cut away. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the workbench equipment of FIG.
[0012]
The work table equipment 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is mounted on the parent table 11 when a work machine (not shown) installed around the parent table 11 stops the intermittent rotation of the parent table 11. This equipment is used to produce products by performing operations on placed articles, and is used for production of cosmetics, medicines, foodstuffs, miscellaneous goods, electronic parts, etc., as well as for machining.
[0013]
In the present embodiment, the workbench equipment 10 is used for the production of cosmetics, and the work process includes, as shown in FIG. 4, a process of supplying a container as an article (step S1), and filling the contents into the container. Step (Step S2), Step of supplying the inner stopper to the container (Step S3), Step of driving the inner stopper (Step S4), Temporary fastening step of the cap to the container (Step S5), Step of final fastening of the cap (Step S6) ), A completed product unloading step (step S7). The work processes of these steps S1 to S7 are sequentially performed using the workbench equipment 10, and the container supply process (S1), the inner plug supply process (S3), and the cap temporary fastening process (S5) are one person. The other processes are executed by dedicated work machines.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the work table equipment 10 includes the parent table 11 that can be intermittently rotated, a plurality of child tables 12 that are rotatably arranged in the circumferential direction of the parent table 11, A plurality of holders 13 as article holding units installed on the child table 12 and an index driving device 14 that intermittently rotates the parent table 13 are configured.
[0015]
The index driving device 14 is fixedly attached to the frame 15. The index drive device 14 has a fixed shaft 17 disposed at the center of the housing 16, and an output shaft 18 that is intermittently rotated is disposed around the fixed shaft 17. The device housing 16 is fixed to the frame 15 using bolts or the like, and a sun gear 19 is fixedly attached to the device housing 16 in a horizontal state.
[0016]
Further, the parent table 11 is fixed to the output shaft 18 using the mounting bolt 20, and the parent table 11 is intermittently driven by the index driving device 14. That is, the index driving device 14 stops the parent table 11 a plurality of times at the same rotation angle, for example, eight times in the present embodiment, while rotating the parent table 11 once. Thus, although there are eight intermittent rotation stop positions in one rotation of the parent table 11, the stop time at each intermittent rotation stop position is arbitrarily set. A fixed table 21 is attached to the fixed shaft 17.
[0017]
A plurality of the child tables 12 (eight in the present embodiment) are installed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the parent table 11. The arrangement angle (pitch) of the child table 12 in the parent table 11 is set equal to the intermittent rotation pitch of the parent table 11, that is, the rotation angle at which the parent table 11 rotates between the adjacent intermittent rotation stop positions.
[0018]
Each child table 12 is rotatably arranged on the parent table 11 via a bearing 22 as shown in FIG. A planetary gear 23 is fixed and attached to each of the child tables 12 so as to be integrally rotated. The planetary gears 23 are meshed with the sun gear 19. Accordingly, each child table 12 rotates intermittently in the arrow B direction in conjunction with the intermittent rotation of the parent table 11 in the arrow A direction, as shown in FIG.

The holder 13 can hold an article such as a container, and N pieces (N is an integer of 2 or more) are installed on one child table 12. In consideration of the size of the child table 12 and the ability of the worker, N = 3 is set in this embodiment. This holder 13 is provided in a replaceable manner depending on the type and size of the article to be held.
[0020]
When N holders 13 are installed on the child table 12, the child table 12 rotates once for every N-th intermittent rotation stop position of the parent table 11, that is, until the parent table 11 is adjacent to the intermittent rotation stop position. The number of intermittent rotation stops during one rotation of the parent table 11 so that the child table 12 rotates 1 / N while rotating, and the holder 13 of the child table 12 returns to the original position by N rotation of the parent table 11. In addition, a gear ratio between the sun gear 19 and the planetary gear 23 is set.
[0021]
For example, when three holders 13 are installed on the child table 12 as in the present embodiment, the child table 12 rotates once for every third intermittent rotation stop position of the parent table 11, that is, the parent table As the child table 12 rotates 1/3 (120 degrees) while the 11 rotates to the adjacent intermittent rotation stop position, the holder 13 of the child table 12 returns to the original position by 3 rotations of the parent table 11. The number of intermittent rotation stops in one rotation of the parent table 11 is set to 8, and the gear ratio between the sun gear 19 and the planetary gear 23 is set as follows.
[0022]
That is, in this case, the gear ratio between the sun gear 19 and the planetary gear 23 is such that the child table 12 rotates １ ／ while the parent table 11 rotates １ ／, so the number of teeth Z1 of the sun gear 19 and the planetary gear The ratio (gear ratio) with the number of teeth Z2 of 23 is Z1: Z2 = 8: 3. The specific number of teeth is Z1: Z2 = 120: 45, 144: 54, 160: 60, 200: 75, 320: 120, 400: 150, 432: 162, and the like.
