Carrier device and robot system

摘要

A carrier device according to an embodiment includes a base that is disposed on an installation surface and a swivel arm that is provided on the base to swivel freely and of which turn tables attached to its both ends pass between a carrying in and out position and a working position that are previously set on a circular orbit. The base has a hollow structure and includes a hollow part that has at least therein the center of rotation of the swivel arm and into and through which a predetermined linear object can be inserted.

主权项

1. A carrier device comprising:
a base that is disposed on an installation surface; a swivel arm that is provided on the base to swivel freely and of which turn tables attached to its both ends pass between a carrying in and out position and a working position that are previously set on a circular orbit, and the base having a hollow structure and including a hollow part that has at least therein a center of rotation of the swivel arm and into and through which a predetermined linear object is inserted; a swiveling mechanism that swivels the swivel arm in such a manner that the turn tables revolve around the base; and a table rolling mechanism that makes a specified turn table of the turn tables located at the working position rotate on its axis at a mounting position, wherein the swiveling mechanism includes:
a first power source; andan arm swivel ring gear that is coupled with the first power source in an interlocking manner and is rotatably attached on an outer circumferential surface of the base along with the swivel arm, the table rolling mechanism includes:
a second power source that is mounted to a first side of the base that is closer to the working position than an opposite second side of the base; anda table rotating shaft in which its leading end is coupled with the specified turn table in an interlocking manner and in which its bottom end is engagable with a guiding ring gear fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the base and that is provided with an intermediate gear coupled with a rotating shaft of the second power source in an interlocking manner and that swivels along with the swivel arm, a cutout portion that comes free from engaging with the intermediate gear is formed on a portion of the guiding ring gear close to the working position, and the table rotating shaft located at the first side close to the working position transmits an output of the second power source to the specified turn table while idling the intermediate gear inside the cutout portion.
