All such operations of the robot arm and robot hand 100 are realized by a control device that is communicatively connected to the robot arm and robot hand 100 .
- a suction head unit 140 is attached to the tip side of the link mechanism 130 . That is, in this robot hand 100, the suction head unit 140 is linearly moved by the link mechanism 130, and does not move vertically.

- the front vertical slider SVf is connected to the 23rd link pin. It is rotatably connected to the tip side of the 14th joint K14 by P23, and the horizontal slider SH is further connected to the third link pin P3. Therefore, in this article transport robot, the load on the electric motor 110 can be increased when the link mechanism 130 is extended, and the load on the electric motor 110 can be decreased when the link mechanism 130 is contracted.
- the article-carrying robot compared to the opposite case (where the load on the electric motor 110 is reduced when the link mechanism 130 is extended and the load on the electric motor 110 is increased when the link mechanism 130 is contracted), the article is transported. It can be easily pulled out from a shelf or the like.
- the electric motor 110 drives the horizontal slider SH via the ball screw 115 . Therefore, in this robot hand 100, the link mechanism 130 can be expanded and contracted with a relatively simple structure.
- the electric motor 110 when the load detected by the load detection device exceeds the threshold value, the electric motor 110 is temporarily stopped and the decompression pump is operated to suck the article by the suction pad 143b. By rotating the electric motor 110 in reverse, the link mechanism 130 is contracted and finally returned to the initial state (contracted state). Therefore, in the robot hand 100, the article can be pulled out from the shelf by suctioning the article after the suction pad 143b is sufficiently pressed against the article.

Abstract
Description
本発明の実施の形態に係る物品搬送ロボットは、主に、ロボットハンド100、ロボットアーム(図示せず)および制御装置から構成されている。以下、これらの構成要素について詳述する。
ロボットハンド100は、図1から図9に示されるように、主に、電動機110、フレーム120、リンク機構130、吸着ヘッドユニット140、着脱式ぜんまいバネユニット150、可撓チューブ160、センサ取付板170および距離センサ180から構成されている。以下、これらの構成要素について詳述する。
電動機110は、正逆回転可能な電動機であって、その回転軸がボールネジ115の回転軸と一致するようにボールネジ115に取り付けられている。すなわち、このボールネジ115は、電動機110の回転方向を切り換えることによって水平スライダ(後述)SHのスライド方向を切り換えることができる。なお、本実施の形態においてこの電動機110には負荷検出装置(図示せず)が接続されており、同負荷検出装置によって電動機110の負荷が検出される。
フレーム120は、図1から図9に示されるように、主に、天板121、底板122、背面板123、後方側面板124および前方側面L字板125から構成されている。以下、これらの構成要素について詳述する。
リンク機構130は、例えば、マジックハンド等に利用される伸縮可能なレージトング式リンク機構であって、本実施の形態では図6~図9に示されるように14本の節(リンク)K1~14、21本のリンクピンP1~23、後側垂直スライダSVrおよび水平スライダSHから構成されている。以下、これらの構成要素について詳述する。
吸着ヘッドユニット140は、図1および図5に示されるように、主に、前面パネル141、支持板142、吸着パッドユニット143、車輪144、ガイドローラ145、前側垂直レールRVf、前側垂直スライダSVfおよび前側支持突起部146から構成されている。以下、これらの構成要素について詳述する。
着脱式ぜんまいバネユニット150は、図10に示されるように、主に、ぜんまいバネ151、ホルダ152、シャフト153および締結ブロック154から構成されている。ぜんまいバネ151は、従前から存在するものであって、ホルダ152に巻き付くように付勢されている。すなわち、人の手でぜんまいバネ151が延ばされた後、人の手が離されるとぜんまいバネ151はその付勢力によってホルダ152に巻き付く。ホルダ152は、ぜんまいバネ151の片端を保持する円柱状の保持部材(ボビン)である。シャフト153は、図10に示されるようにホルダ152の軸方向に沿ってホルダ152の両方向に向かって延びている。なお、このシャフト153は、上述の通り、図3に示される支持爪122Bによって着脱自在に支持される。締結ブロック154は、ぜんまいバネ151のもう片端を吸着ヘッドユニット140の前面パネル141の下側突起部141bに固定するための部材であって、上述の通り、吸着ヘッドユニット140の前面パネル141の下側突起部141bにねじ止めされる。
可撓チューブ160は、図1および図2等に示される通り、元配管SPの出口側に接合されていると共に、上述の通り、吸着パッドユニット143の主管MPの基端側に接合されている。なお、図1および図2等に示されるように、元配管SPの入口には配管口MSが接合されており、その配管口MSはフレーム120の天板121の後端部に設けられている。また、この可撓チューブ160は、図8および図9に示されているように、リンク機構130の最伸長状態時にも対応する十分な長さとされている。
センサ取付板170は、上述の通り、フレーム120の底板122の開口OPのやや後側の裏側面に取り付けられており、その両端側に距離センサ180を保持している。
距離センサ180は、正面側に位置する物体との距離を検出するセンサであって、上述の通り、センサ取付板170の両端側に保持されている。
ロボットアームは、特に限定されないが、例えば、既存の六軸ロボットアーム等である。
制御装置は、ロボットハンド100およびロボットアームにそれぞれ通信接続されており、ロボットハンドやロボットアームに対して制御信号を送ると共に、ロボットハンド100やロボットアームから各種信号を受信している。なお、特に、この制御装置は、ロボットハンド100の電動機110や、減圧ポンプに通信接続されており、電動機110の回転方向や減圧ポンプの発停等を制御している。
ここでは、図11に示される移動棚200に載置される取っ手付き箱体Bxを物品搬送ロボットに搬送させる際の物品搬送ロボットの制御例について説明する。なお、図中、符号TOは取っ手を示している。
(1)
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、リンク機構130の先端側に吸着ヘッドユニット140が取り付けられている。すなわち、このロボットハンド100では、吸着ヘッドユニット140はリンク機構130によって直動することなり、上下動を伴うことがない。このため、この物品搬送ロボットは、従前の物品搬送ロボット(上下動を伴う動作を行うもの)に比べて棚の寸法に制限を受けにくい。
本実施の形態に係る物品搬送ロボットでは、リンク機構130の伸縮時において伸縮構造体KPの構成面(仮想の垂直面Fp)が鉛直方向に平行になるようにロボットハンド100が姿勢制御される。このため、この物品搬送ロボットでは、リンク機構130の伸縮時において、ロボットハンド100の幅寸法を短く保つことができる。したがって、この物品搬送ロボットでは、棚に敷き詰められた複数の物品を自動的に把持しやすくすることができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、ぜんまいバネ151によって、吸着ヘッドユニット140を基端側に付勢している。このため、この物品搬送ロボットでは、吸着ヘッドユニット140を伸長状態から収縮状態(初期状態)に戻しやすくすることができる(なお、この付勢構造が存在しない場合、伸縮構造体KPの上側のみが縮み切るが、下側が縮み切らないことがあり得る。)。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100には、着脱式ぜんまいバネユニット150が設けられている。このため、使用によりぜんまいバネ151の弾性力が落ちてきた場合に、ぜんまいバネ151を容易に交換することができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、後側垂直スライダSVrが第1リンクピンP1によって第1節K1の基端部に回動自在に連結されており、前側垂直スライダSVfが第23リンクピンP23によって第14節K14の先端側に回動自在に連結されており、さらに水平スライダSHが第3リンクピンP3に連結されている。このため、この物品搬送ロボットでは、リンク機構130を伸長させる際に電動機110の負荷を高くし、リンク機構130を収縮させる際に電動機110の負荷を低くすることができる。すなわち、この物品搬送ロボットでは、逆の場合(リンク機構130を伸長させる際に電動機110の負荷を低くし、リンク機構130を収縮させる際に電動機110の負荷を高くする場合)に比べて物品を棚等から引き出しやすくことができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、電動機110がボールネジ115を介して水平スライダSHを駆動させる。このため、このロボットハンド100では、比較的簡便な構造でリンク機構130を伸縮させることができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、負荷検出装置により検出された負荷が閾値を超えると、電動機110が一旦停止させられると共に減圧ポンプが作動されて吸着パッド143bによって物品が吸着され、その後、電動機110が逆転されることによってリンク機構130が収縮させられて最終的に初期状態(収縮状態)に戻される。このため、このロボットハンド100では、吸着パッド143bが物品に十分に押し当てられた状態にしてから物品を吸着させて物品を棚から引き出すことができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100には、一対の距離センサ180が設けられている。このため、この物品搬送ロボットでは、移動棚200に対してロボットハンド100を正対させることができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、吸着ヘッドユニット140にガイドローラ145が取り付けられている。このため、図11に示されるような移動棚200が用いられている場合、本実施の形態に係る物品搬送ロボットでは、その案内板Wv等にガイドローラ145を当接させることによって吸着ヘッドユニット140を物品まで安定的に案内することができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、吸着ヘッドユニット140に車輪144が取り付けられている。このため、このロボットハンド100では、リンク機構130の伸縮をスムースに行うことができる。
本実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では、左右の吸着パッド143bの距離が、取っ手付き箱体Bxの取っ手TOが縦方向に向いたときにその取っ手TOと重ならず取っ手TOを挟みこむ距離とされている。このため、このロボットハンド100では、吸着パッド143bが取っ手TOを避けた状態で箱体Bxを吸着することができる。したがって、このロボットハンド100では、取っ手TOを有する箱体Bxをしっかりと吸着することができる。
(A)
先の実施の形態に係る物品搬送ロボットではロボットアームにロボットハンド100が連結されていたが、ロボットハンド100は、フレーム式の移動機構に連結されていてもよい。また、ロボットハンドは、常に、伸縮構造体KPの構成面(仮想の垂直面Fp)が鉛直方向に平行になるように取り付けられてもよい。
先の実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では駆動源として電動機110が採用されると共に伸縮構造体KPの伸縮を実現する機構としてボールネジ115および水平スライダSHから成る機構が採用されたが、(i)駆動源および伸縮機構としてエアシリンダや油圧シリンダ等が採用されてもよいし、(ii)駆動源として電動機が採用されると共に伸縮構造体KPの伸縮を実現する機構としてラック・アンド・ピニオン機構が採用されてもよいし、(iii)駆動源として電動機が採用されると共に伸縮構造体KPの伸縮を実現する機構として株式会社椿本チエイン製のジップチェーンアクチュエータ(登録商標)が採用されてもよいし、(iv)駆動源として電動機が採用されると共に伸縮構造体KPの伸縮を実現する機構としてSERAPID社製のROLLBEAMが採用されてもよい。
先の実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では伸び切った伸縮構造体KPを初期の収縮状態に戻すことを目的として着脱式ぜんまいバネユニット150が設けられていたが、同目的を達成する他の手段として(i)コイルバネが採用されてもよいし、(ii)電動機、ワイヤおよびクラッチ等から成る機構が採用されてもよい。かかる場合、伸縮構造体KPが伸びる際にワイヤが繰り出され、伸縮構造体KPが縮む際に電動機によってワイヤが巻き取られる。
先の実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では物品の把持手段として吸着パッドユニット143が採用されたが、これに代えて二指ハンドや五指ハンド等の指付ハンドユニットや、チャックユニット等が採用されもよい。
先の実施の形態に係るロボットハンド100では電動機110、前側支持突起部146および後側支持突起部123Aが上側に配設されていたが、電動機110、前側支持突起部146および後側支持突起部123Aは下側(例えば、底板122の下側等)に配設されてもよい。かかる場合、前側垂直スライダSVfおよび後側垂直スライダSVrの初期位置(収縮状態にあるときの位置)は、前側垂直レールRVfおよび後側垂直レールRVrの上端位置であり、前側垂直スライダSVfおよび後側垂直スライダSVrは、水平スライダSHの前進に伴って下降し、水平スライダSHの後退に伴って上昇する。
