In the present month, the plurality of objects to be transported may be classified into a plurality of types, and the plurality of objects to be conveyed may be moved one by one from the self-transport start position to the transfer end position. The transfer route is sent to the 'transfer of the job, and the number of the transported items temporarily stored in each category is the predetermined number of the set pipes. The conveyed object of the type is transported to the transport end position without being temporarily stored, and the transported object that has been transported to the transport end position is received and stored. According to the object classification device and the method of classifying the object to be conveyed, the plurality of objects to be transported can be transported along the transport path, and the objects to be transported can be distributed to the plurality of i-th storage units and Keep it for the time being. In the storage of the above-mentioned objects, it is the first! When the number of the storages in the storage unit reaches the set number of storages, the storage of the objects to be transported until the designated number of the designated storage units is stopped. When the transported object is transported by the transport unit, the transported object is transported to the transport end position, and then stored in the second storage unit. The second storage unit that stores the object to be transported is carried out to another location. Further, the delivery control means may be further provided for conveying the objects to be transported stored in the first storage unit in which the transport means is stopped by the transport control means to the transport path one by one, and transporting the transported objects to be transported. It is stored in the second storage unit until the transfer end position. ’ As described above, the "delivery control means" delivers the objects to be transported in the first storage unit one by one, whereby the objects to be transported in the first storage unit can be reduced, or the inside of the first storage unit can be emptied. Therefore, the object to be conveyed can be kept in the first storage unit again, and the sorting operation of the object to be conveyed can be continuously performed. In the above-described method of classifying the objects to be transported, when the number of the objects to be transported in the primary storage reaches the set number of storages, the temporarily stored articles are transported one by one to the transport path and transported to the transport end position. The device sequentially receives and stores the transported object and the transported object that has not been temporarily stored and transported to the transport balance. The transport σ|5 may be provided with a plurality of transport units including transport transports for transporting the transported objects along the transport path, and the first transport unit may be provided in each of the transport units.

As described above, since the first storage unit can be placed on the transport path, it is possible to arrange not only the space in which the plurality of transport units can be disposed, but also the space in the transport unit and the space in the first storage unit. The same location within. Further, since the driving of each conveying unit can be independently controlled, the conveyance control of the conveyed object can be accurately performed. Therefore, it is advantageous in terms of space and control. Further, an auxiliary transport unit is provided between the adjacent transport units on the transport path control. The apparatus for classifying the objects to be transported may be classified by type. == The method includes a transport unit that transfers the plurality of two self-propagation start positions to the transport end position == send; the plurality of first The storage unit is transported to the storage unit, (4) the reading material (4), the above-mentioned type of temporary security officer, and the second type of transportation, the second type of transportation, and the fourth (4) delivery unit. The conveyed objects of the rough and the squatting are carried out to other places, and the second pipe is disposed along the transport path, and the above-mentioned first system is disposed at the transport end position. The above-mentioned conveyed object is classified as #1 to the first storage unit, but not as good as 彳, (4) can be sent (4) The object is temporarily stored in the bundle position _=/tube to the 丨丝(4) 岐 to the transfer knot to other places. The conveyed object of the type of the plurality of types of conveyed materials in the first storage unit is temporarily stored in 098131496 201020191. According to the present invention, when a plurality of objects to be conveyed are transported along the transport path, the objects to be transported can be distributed to a plurality of first storage units in the transport path, and can be temporarily stored by type. The specific type of conveyed object that has not been temporarily stored and transported to the transfer end position is received by the second storage unit, and the selected specific type of conveyed object is carried out to another place. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the transport robot from the sorting to the carry-out of the transported object, and it is not only possible to continuously perform the moving space, but also the moving space for the transport robot to move at the same time, and it is not necessary to check the transport mechanism to reciprocate between the H boxes. Operating costs. Therefore, it is possible to provide a classification of the objects to be transported and to be transported in terms of space, classification time, and cost. ❷ When the transported goods from the shogunate to the first custodian are up to the number of the custodial deposits, the smuggling of the smuggling of the smugglers is carried out. The bundle position 'and the conveyed object to be transported to the second maintenance unit' can be stored in the second storage unit if the first storage material is in the full state. There is an advantage that the sorting operation of the conveyed object can be continuously performed. [Embodiment] An embodiment of the object classification device 098131496 201020191 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The above-described conveyed material sorting device classifies a plurality of devices to be transported for each type. As the above-mentioned object to be conveyed, a liquid crystal substrate which is manufactured and classified in a clean room is taken as an example, but an electronic device or the like which requires another classification may be used. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the above-described conveyed object sorting device s installed in an unmanned factory. The manufactured liquid crystal substrate is judged by the quality, and the 瘳ID tag provided on each substrate is given the type (level) information, and is sequentially stored in the cassette 1. At this time, the ID reader described later reads in which order the substrate is stored in the cassette, and stores the storage information in a memory means to be described later. Then, in FIG. 1, the cassette 1 is transported by the linear transport path 2, and when it reaches the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, it moves in the direction of the arrow χ and is placed at the transport start position. The status of H1.

Further, in the present embodiment, the receiving portion 15 is composed of nine pieces of T-shaped wires (Wlre), and the lifting and lowering driving portion 16 is constituted by a continuous type. The elevation drive unit 16 is constituted by a pantograph disposed between the lower end of the first storage unit 3 and a predetermined member provided on the floor. In the side view of Figs. 7(a) to 7(d), the scaler is configured such that two sets of X-shaped links are connected in the vertical direction, and the connecting rods which are connected in the up-and-down direction are as shown in Fig. 6. They are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction, and the two link bodies are connected at the same time. The intermediate portions of the two links 16A and 16A of the X-shaped link are connected via a pin 16P, and the two link bodies are connected via six connecting rods. Further, the upper ends of the upper two links 16A and 16A are respectively supported by the pair of brackets 16C and 16C disposed before and after the transport direction of the lower end of the second storage unit 3 via the connecting rod 16R. Further, the lower two ends of the 098131496 12 201020191 rods 16A and 16A are respectively supported by the pair of brackets 16D and 16D before and after being axially supported by the connecting rod 16R on the upper surface of the fixing member 13C. Further, the frame of the first storage unit 3 includes a rectangular lower frame 17 as shown in Fig. 5, and includes two sets of frames 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d which are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the lower portion; The upper frame 18 includes two sets of frames 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d which are arranged in parallel at a certain interval in the upper portion; the vertical frames 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d are connected to the upper frame 18 and the lower respectively The opposite corners of the frame; and the vertical frames 20a, 20b, 20c and 21a, 21b, 21c' are parallel to the vertical frames 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d, and are arranged at specific intervals in the transport width direction and respectively The frames 17a and 18a and 17c and 18c are joined. Furthermore, the outer circumference of the frame 18 and the lower frame 17 is larger than the substrate Z', and the vertical frames 20a, 20b, 20c and 21a, 21b, 21c are parallel to each other, and the specific interval is such that the conveying roller 13 does not interfere. The manner is sufficiently wider than the diameter of the conveying roller 13. ❹ and the first storage unit 3 is disposed between the vertical frames 19a, 20a, 19b, 20b, 19c, and 20c on both sides in the conveyance width direction so that the three wires 15 are at the same height position in the upper three places. In the manner of the device, nine wires 15 are provided in total.

In the first place, the control unit is the second shoji 2: The first shool 3 is operated in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being stunned. The substrate Ζ the second guard parts 4 and 4 are placed in the state in which the transport end position 098131496 201020191 is set to H2. When the state is reached, the control unit u determines whether or not the classification is started (step S1), and when it is determined that the classification has started, starts. Driving of the transport unit (step S2). Then, for example, from the box ii of the cassette ii of Fig. 1, the stored substrate z is sent out one by one to the roller conveyor 5 (step 3). . The fed substrate z is transported to the next parent conveyor 6 by the roller conveyor 5. The type information of the transported substrate z is read by the ID reader 26, and the type information read out is input to the control unit U, and the type information outputted is confirmed by the control unit (step S4). According to the type information confirmed above, the 18th first storage unit 3 has a substrate 2 with the base plate 2 of the Miyazaki! Storage unit 3. ^ Then, when it is judged that the substrate Z has reached the specified number!

The substrate Z that has stopped the above-mentioned grade A 098131496 201020191 is stored in the first storage unit 3 of the above-described full load, and the substrate z of the rank A conveyed along the transport path is transported to the transport end position. Then, the substrate z other than the level A is transported to the first storage unit 3 corresponding to the type, and the driving of the transport unit H is resumed (step S10)', and the next substrate Z is transported. At this time, the above-described delivery control means 27 is actuated, and the first storage unit 3, which has been designated as the full load, that is, the first storage unit 3 in which the substrate Z of the type A is stored is stored, and the substrate Z of the level a is sent out. Go to the transfer path (step S11). When the substrate z of the level A of the above-mentioned delivery and the substrate z of the level A of the cassette 1 are transported, the transport control means 25 stops the storage of the substrate z of the level A in the first storage unit 3 as described above, and The substrate z of the level A is transported to the second storage unit bucket, and the substrate z of the rank A reaches the second storage unit 4 (step S12). When the substrate Z of the level A reaches the second storage unit 4, the transfer of the substrate Z of the stop level a (step S13) is performed to drive the elevation drive unit 28 of the second storage unit 4 (step S14), and the substrate Z of the rank A is stored. In the second storage unit 4. In this case, the number of stored warrants (not shown) having the same configuration as that of the above-described set storage number detecting means 24 is used, and the number of storages of the substrate Z in which the second storage unit 4 is applied is detected, and the above-mentioned designation is confirmed. Whether or not the second storage unit 4 is fully loaded (step S15), if it is not fully loaded, the substrate z from the first storage unit 3 of the first storage unit 3 is again restarted, and the substrate step S9 is transferred from (4) to be stored next. The substrate z is transferred to the substrate so as to be in the same manner as described above. 098131496 19 201020191 The control unit U temporarily stops the driving of the transport unit 判别 when the second storage unit 4 that is the designated second storage unit 4, that is, the second warranty unit 4 of the storage unit A of the storage level A is fully loaded. (Step S16), the control is ended. Then, the second storage unit 4 that has been fully loaded is moved to another location via the transport path 2, and the empty second storage unit 4 is replenished to the transport end position Η2, whereby the sorting operation is resumed. In the above description, only one type of substrate Ζ (the substrate Α of the level Α) is stored in the second storage unit 4 and carried out to another place. However, the second first storage unit 3 is not shown in FIG. 1 . (B) The substrate Z of the middle level B is fully loaded, and after the substrate 2 of the level A is connected, the substrate Z of the level B is stored in the second storage unit 4 (B), and the second storage unit 4 (B) When the substrate Z of the intermediate level B is fully loaded, the second storage unit 4 (B) is moved to another location as described above, whereby the two types of substrates can be moved to other places, but one or more types may be used. The substrate Z is moved to another location. By providing an auxiliary transport unit (not shown) between the transport units adjacent to the transport path, that is, between the first storage units 3 and 3, there is a further advantage that the auxiliary transport unit is moved. Having the gap between the transport units is not only advantageous in terms of maintenance, but also it is easy to suppress the occurrence of abutment of the substrates due to sliding with the substrate or the like when the substrate is stopped, even if the control accuracy is slightly low. The auxiliary transport unit may be configured by, for example, a transport unit having a transport length shorter than the transport unit. Preferably, the auxiliary transport unit is configured by a non-driven guide unit such as a free roller, but may include a drive. The drive guide of a roller or the like is constructed. 098131496 20 201020191 In the figure of FIG. 4, the table z of the storage unit 3 that has been fully loaded is sent out by the delivery control means 27 in the classification control, but it is also not in the classification control. The delivery control (step sii of FIG. 4 is omitted) is performed, and when the control is temporarily terminated, the substrate 2 of the first storage unit 3 that is fully loaded is sent to the second storage unit 4. In addition, the control in the case where the i-th storage unit 3 is fully loaded has been described. However, when the number of substrates Z is not fully loaded but stored in the first storage unit 3, the plate Z direction may be stopped. As described above, the number of the guarantors in the first storage unit 3 has been reached. Further, there is no particular limitation on the specific number of the full number of spares. In addition, the transport_means 25 for stopping the storage of the substrate z in the third storage unit 3 having a predetermined number of the substrates Z stored in the first storage unit 3 is provided, but the transport may be omitted. (4) Means 25. In other words, it may be configured to include a plurality of numbers arranged along the transport path! The storage unit 3 and the second storage unit* disposed at the transfer end position H2 temporarily store the substrate z in the first storage unit 3, and sequentially deposit the substrate 2 of the substrate Z that is temporarily stored. The storage to the second storage unit can be controlled, for example, by placing the substrate z in the fourth storage unit 3 and storing the second storage unit 4 of the same type of substrate z. Further, in the second good portion 4, the substrate Z may be fully loaded, and then the first storage portion 3 of the substrate Z and the substrate Z of the second stalk portion may be re-stored. In this case, the control unit preliminarily grasps a plurality of types of substrates z with respect to the total number to be classified, and stores the plurality of types of bases 098131496 21 201020191 in the board Z in the second storage unit 4'. The advantages of classification work can be performed efficiently. Each of the E box 1 and the second storage unit 4 is configured by the same configuration as the first storage unit 3, but may be composed of different components.
