JP5756433B2 - Suction take-out device and false eyelash production device - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a suction take-out device for taking out a predetermined number of workpieces from a large number of rod-like or linear workpieces, and an false eyelash production device for producing false eyelashes.

  Conventionally, false eyelashes have been manufactured as follows, for example. Referring to FIG. 9, first, eyelash materials E are arranged one by one on the base member Ba in a predetermined pattern and fixed using tweezers. Next, the eyelash member E and the base member Ba are cut along the cutting line L. Thereafter, by performing a predetermined process such as curling the eyelash material E, false eyelashes are completed. The eyelash material E is an ultra-thin wire material made of PBT having a diameter of about 0.05 mm to 0.1, for example, and is processed so as to become thinner toward the tip like human eyelashes.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a separation and supply device for separating and supplying wires each having a diameter of about 0.5 mm to 2 mm. The separation and supply device includes a chuck having a pair of claw portions, and the pair of claw portions forms a tapered pinching portion. When the chuck is pushed into several wire rods in the stocker unit, the claw portion of the chuck is slightly opened, and only one wire rod that enters the innermost part of the tapered pinching portion is gripped by the pinching portion. Only one wire can be separated and supplied from several wires.

In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the left-right direction in FIG. 1 is defined as the front-rear direction (first direction) of the suction take-out device, and the direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of FIG. 1 is defined as the left-right direction (second direction).

  1 to 6, the illustrated suction take-out device 1 includes a storage box 10 that stores a large number of rod-shaped or linear workpieces W, and a workpiece from among a large number of workpieces W that are stored in the storage box 10. A take-out means 20 for taking out W by a predetermined number, a sensor 30 for detecting whether or not the work W has been taken out by the take-out means 20, and a placement means 31 on which a base member B to which the work W is bonded and fixed is placed. And a pressing means 32 and a control means 40 for controlling the operation of the take-out means 20 and the like. Hereinafter, these members will be described in detail. In the following description, a case where the predetermined number of workpieces W is one will be described.

  The storage box 10 has a front wall 11, a rear wall 12, a left wall 13, a right wall 14, and a bottom wall 15, and a storage space S whose upper side is opened is formed by these walls 11 to 15. An outlet 12 a communicating with the accommodation space S is formed at a substantially central portion below the rear wall (side wall) 12. In addition, the left and right wall surfaces 13a and 14a of the storage space S are inclined surfaces that are inclined downward toward the central side in the left-right direction of the storage box 10, so that the left-right width of the storage space S is downward. The taper shape gradually decreases. In this accommodation space S, a large number of long workpieces W having a diameter of about 0.01 mm to 3 mm are accommodated along the front-rear direction. In order to facilitate understanding of the drawing, only one workpiece W is shown in FIG.

  The take-out means 20 includes a suction chuck 21 disposed on the rear side of the storage box 10, a suction means 26 connected to the suction chuck 21, and a suction chuck moving mechanism for moving the suction chuck 21 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. 27 (FIG. 6). The suction chuck 21 includes a chuck body 22 and a protrusion 23 that protrudes forward from the chuck body 22. The protrusion 23 is provided to face the outlet 12 a of the storage box 10, and the outer diameter of the protrusion 23 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outlet 12 a. With this configuration, as will be described later, when the suction chuck 21 advances from the separated position shown in FIG. 1 to the close position shown in FIG. 4A, the tip portion of the protrusion 23 passes through the outlet 12a and enters the accommodation space S. Reach.

  Further, the suction chuck 21 is formed with a suction hole 24 having an opening H on the tip surface of the protrusion 23. The suction hole 24 includes a holding part 24a extending rearward from the opening H, and a holding part. The suction portion 24b communicates with the portion 24a and extends in a direction different from the holding portion 24a (the vertical direction in the example of FIG. 1 and the direction perpendicular to the holding portion 24a). The suction portion 24b is a chuck. Opened on the peripheral surface of the main body 22. The inner diameter of the opening H of the suction hole 24 is defined to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the workpiece W. Further, the length L1 (see FIG. 2) in the front-rear direction of the suction hole 24 (holding portion 24a) is shorter than the length L2 of the workpiece W (see FIG. 4A), and the workpiece W is held by the holding portion as will be described later. When housed and held in 24 a, the tip side portion of the workpiece W is exposed to the outside of the suction hole 24.

  The suction means 26 has one end connected to the suction portion 24b of the suction hole 24 (the opening portion of the suction portion 24b formed on the peripheral surface of the chuck body 22) and the other end of the vacuum hose 26a. And a vacuum device 26b. The vacuum device 26b applies a suction force to the opening H by sucking the suction hole 24 through the vacuum hose 26a. Since the configuration of the vacuum device 26b is known, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The suction chuck moving mechanism 27 is configured to move the suction chuck 21 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction to position the suction chuck 21 at a predetermined separation position, proximity position, supply position, and unchuck position.

  The sensor 30 detects whether or not the workpiece W has been pulled out from the storage box 10 by the take-out means 20, and is composed of an optical sensor, for example. The placing means 31 is arranged on the side of the storage box 10 and has a table 31a on which the base member B and the like are placed. And a table moving mechanism 31b that moves in the rotation direction (θ direction). The pressing means 32 includes a pressing member 32a disposed above the table 31a and a pressing member moving mechanism 32b that moves the pressing member 32a in the vertical direction.

  The control means 40 is composed of, for example, a microprocessor, and includes an operation control means 41, a storage means 42, a first determination means 43, a data reading means 44, and a second determination means 45. The operation control means 41 controls the operation of the vacuum device 26b and the like as will be described later. The storage means 42 stores basic data 42a and pattern data 42b. The basic data 42a is data relating to operation control of the vacuum device 26b and the like, and the operation control means 41 controls the vacuum device 26b and the like based on the basic data 42a. The pattern data 42b indicates the arrangement pattern of the workpieces W on the base member B, and the operation control means 41 controls the table moving mechanism 31b based on the pattern data 42a as described later. The first determination means 43 determines whether or not the workpiece W has been taken out by the take-out means 20 based on the sensor signal from the sensor 30. The data reading means 44 reads target data from the pattern data. The second determination unit 45 determines whether or not the adhesion and fixing of the workpiece W to the base member B is completed.

  The operation of the suction / extraction device 1 is performed as follows. When the vacuum device 26b sucks the suction hole 24 via the vacuum hose 26a, a suction force acts on the opening H. When the suction chuck 21 moves to the close position shown in FIG. 4A in this state, the projecting portion 23 passes through the outlet 12a of the storage box 10 and reaches the storage space S, so that a large number of the storage spaces S are accommodated. Only one workpiece W from the workpiece W is drawn backward into the suction hole 24 along its longitudinal direction.

  The workpiece W drawn into the suction hole 24 is positioned with its base end (rear end) contacting the bottom surface 24e of the suction hole 24. Here, since the length L1 of the suction hole 24 is shorter than the length L2 of the work W, the rear end portion of the work W drawn into the suction hole 24 is accommodated in the suction hole 24, and the tip side portion thereof is It is held by the suction chuck 21 while being exposed forward from the suction hole 24.

  When the suction chuck 21 is retracted to the separation position in this state, as shown in FIG. 4B, the workpiece W moves backward together with the suction chuck 21 while being held by the suction chuck 21, and is accommodated through the outlet 12a. Pulled out of box 10. As a result, the workpiece W is held only by the suction chuck 21 in a state where the tip side portion is exposed forward from the suction hole 24. In this way, the tip side portion of the workpiece W is externally connected from the suction hole 24. Even if exposed, the workpiece W does not fall out of the suction hole 24 because the suction force continues to act on the opening H.

  When the suction chuck 21 moves from the proximity position to the separation position in this way, the sensor 30 detects whether or not the workpiece W is held by the suction chuck 21. When it can be confirmed that the workpiece W is held by the suction chuck 21, the suction chuck 21 moves to the supply position shown in FIG. 5, and thereby the workpiece W is conveyed to a predetermined position defined above the table 31a. . On the table 31a, for example, a base member B having a surface provided with an adhesive layer is placed. When the pressing member 32a is lowered in this state, the pressing member 32a presses a portion of the workpiece W exposed to the outside from the suction hole 24 to the base member B, whereby the workpiece W is pressed against the base member B via the adhesive layer. Glued. Thereafter, when the suction chuck 21 is retracted to the unchuck position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 5, the workpiece W is pulled out from the suction hole 24 of the suction chuck 21 and the holding by the suction chuck 21 is released. Note that at least the lower end of the pressing member 32a may be formed of an elastic body.

  As described above, according to the suction take-out device 1 in the present embodiment, only one work W can be taken out from a large number of works W accommodated in the accommodation box 10 and supplied to a predetermined position.

  With reference to FIG. 7 as well, the control flow of the suction / extraction device 1 will be described as follows. Here, a case where a plurality of workpieces W are bonded and fixed to the base member B placed on the table 31a in a predetermined pattern based on the pattern data 42b will be described as an example. When the suction / extraction device 1 is operated, the operation control means 41 operates the vacuum device 26b to start the suction of the suction holes 24 (step S1). The operation control means 41 controls the suction chuck moving mechanism 27 to position the suction chuck 21 in the separated position, and controls the pressing member moving mechanism 32b to position the pressing member 32a in the raised position (step S2).

  The data reading unit 44 reads target data from the pattern data stored in the storage unit 42 (step S3), and the operation control unit 41 controls the table moving mechanism 31b based on the data read by the data reading unit 44. Then, the table 31a is moved in the X direction, the Y direction, and / or the θ direction. The operation control means 41 controls the suction chuck moving mechanism 27 to advance the suction chuck 21 to the proximity position (step S5), and then retracts to the separation position (step S6). The first determination unit 43 determines whether or not the work W has been successfully pulled out based on the sensor signal from the sensor 30 (step S7). When it is determined that the workpiece W has been successfully pulled out (step S7: YES), the operation control means 41 controls the suction chuck moving mechanism 27 to position the suction chuck at the supply position (step S8). Thereby, the workpiece | work W picked out by the drawing means 20 is conveyed to the predetermined position above the table 31a.

  Next, the operation control means 41 controls the pressing member moving mechanism 32b to lower the pressing member 32a from the raised position to a predetermined lowered position (step S9). Thereby, the workpiece W is pressed against the base member B. Then, the operation control means 41 controls the suction chuck moving mechanism 27 to retract the suction chuck 21 to the unchuck position, and the holding of the workpiece W by the suction chuck 21 is released.

  The second determination means 45 determines whether or not a series of operations for the current base member B has been completed (whether or not a plurality of workpieces W are bonded and fixed to the base member B in a predetermined pattern) (step S11). ). If it is determined that it has not been completed (step S11: NO), the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, when it is determined that the process is completed (step S11: YES), the base member B is replaced with a new base member B automatically or manually (step S12), and the process returns to step S2.

  As described above, by repeating the processes of steps S2 to S10 a predetermined number of times, the predetermined position where the workpiece W is conveyed is fixed, and the table 31a is moved, so that a predetermined number of workpieces W are moved to different positions on the base member B. Therefore, a predetermined number of workpieces W can be bonded and fixed to the base member B in a predetermined arrangement pattern.

  If it is determined in step S7 that the drawing of the work W has not been successful (step S7: NO), the process returns to step S5 and tries to draw the work W again. If NO is determined in step S7 for a plurality of times, a predetermined error message may be issued assuming that the work W is not stored in the storage box 10, that is, the storage box 10 is empty.

  As described above, according to the suction take-out device 1 in the present embodiment, by sucking the rear end portion of the work W into the suction hole 24, only one work W can be taken out from the large number of works W. Here, it is preferable to adjust the inner diameter and the length L1 of the suction hole 24 according to the diameter and the length L2 of the workpiece W, so that the workpiece W having various thicknesses and lengths L can be handled. The suction force by the vacuum device 26a is also preferably adjusted according to the workpiece W, so that the workpiece W with various weights can be handled.

  According to this embodiment, the internal space S of the storage box 10 is formed in a tapered shape so that the lateral width gradually decreases downward, and the outlet 12a is formed so as to communicate with a lower portion of the internal space S. Therefore, even if the workpieces W are successively taken out from the storage box 10, the remaining workpieces W move downward due to their own weight, and the workpieces W can be smoothly taken out through the outlet 12a.

  It should be noted that vibration may be applied to the storage box 10 using a vibration device (not shown) to prevent the phenomenon that the workpiece W adheres to the inner wall surface of the storage box 10 and causes the shelf to hang, and / or the static eliminator. (Not shown) may be provided to prevent the workpieces W from being bonded to each other by static electricity generated inside the storage box 10.

  Furthermore, although the case where the predetermined number of workpieces W is one has been described above, the predetermined number is not limited to one and may be a plurality. In this case, by adjusting (increasing) the inner diameter of the suction hole 24, two or more workpieces W can be sucked into the suction hole 24 and taken out at a time. Even in this case, the number of workpieces W taken out by the suction chuck 21 at a time is always constant.

[Example]
A false eyelash production apparatus was produced using the suction extraction apparatus 1 described above. In the false eyelash manufacturing apparatus 101 shown in FIG. 8, an eyelash material E is accommodated as a work W in the accommodation box 10. The eyelash material E is an ultra-fine wire material having a length L2 of, for example, PBT, PPS, 66 nylon, acrylic, etc., having a length L2 of about 10 mm to 50 mm and a diameter of about 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm. It is processed to become thinner. The eyelash material E is accommodated in the accommodation box 10 so that the distal end side thereof faces forward and the proximal end side faces rearward, and is taken out from the proximal end side by the suction chuck 21 through the outlet 12a.

  A base member Ba is placed on the table 31a. The base member Ba is a member elongated in the left-right direction, and an adhesive layer is formed on the upper surface thereof. The storage means 42 of the control means 40 stores eyelash pattern data indicating an eyelash pattern as the pattern data 42a. As shown in FIG. 9, the eyelash pattern is not limited to one in which all eyelash materials E are arranged in parallel (straight), but one in which the eyelash materials E intersect each other (cross), or a mixture of straight and cross. There are various types such as composite types.

  When the false eyelash manufacturing apparatus 101 is operated according to the flowchart of FIG. 7 under the above conditions, a plurality of eyelash members E are arranged and bonded and fixed on the base member Ba according to a predetermined eyelash pattern. Further, the eyelash material E is accommodated in the accommodation box 10 so that the tip thereof faces frontward, and is slid rearward along the longitudinal direction to be taken out from the rear end side through the outlet 12a. The direction of the eyelash material E taken out from the storage box 10 does not fall apart, the eyelash material E can always be taken out in a constant direction, and the direction of the eyelash material E conveyed to the predetermined position is also always constant. Can be. Therefore, a mechanism and confirmation work for confirming the direction of the eyelash material E taken out from the storage box 10 are not required, and the configuration of the false eyelash production apparatus 101 can be simplified as a whole.

  As mentioned above, although the suction extraction apparatus 1 and the false eyelash manufacturing apparatus 101 which concern on embodiment of this invention were demonstrated with reference to attached drawing, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, and deviates from the scope of the present invention. Various modifications or corrections are possible.

  For example, a plurality of outlets 12a are formed in the storage box 10, and a plurality of suction chucks 21 are disposed corresponding to each of the plurality of outlets 12a. Each of the plurality of suction chucks 21 has a predetermined number of workpieces W. It can also be set as the structure which sucks and takes out (one or more). Further, a plurality of storage boxes 10 are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of suction chucks 21 are arranged corresponding to each of the plurality of storage boxes 10, and each of the plurality of suction chucks 21 has a predetermined number of workpieces W (one or It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a plurality of pieces are sucked and taken out one by one.

  Further, the suction hole 24a may be configured to have a plurality of holding portions 24a. In this case, a predetermined number (one or a plurality) of workpieces W are held and taken out at a time by each of the plurality of holding portions 24a.

  In the above-described embodiment, the suction chuck 21 is moved in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. However, the suction chuck 21 is in a separated position, a proximity position, a supply position, and an unloading position in relation to the storage box 10 and the table 31a. What is necessary is just to be located in a chuck | zipper position, and it is good also as a structure which replaces with the suction chuck | zipper 21 and moves the storage box 10 and the table means 31 to the front-back direction and the left-right direction.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the suction hole 24 is continuously sucked by the vacuum device 26b while the suction take-out device 1 (false eyelash production device 101) is in operation. After the workpiece W is transported to a predetermined position, the suction is temporarily stopped, the holding of the workpiece W by the suction chuck 21 is released in a state where the suction force is not applied to the opening H, and the holding of the workpiece W by the suction chuck is released. The suction may be resumed after being performed.
