    [0003] PTL 1: JP-A-6-269720 Summary of Invention Technical Problem
    [0004] When the viscous material is applied, various works are incidentally performed. The incidental work includes, for example, the work of shaping the surface of the applied viscous material with a spatula, and the work of wiping the viscous material attached to the nozzle in the application work or the viscous material attached to the spatula in the shaping work with a sheet. Some incidental work is done manually, and there is room for improvement in labor saving.
    [0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a device that contributes to labor saving of work incidental to viscous material application work. Solution to Problem
    [0006] A viscous material wiping device according to an aspect of the present invention is a viscous material wiping device for wiping a viscous material attached to a tip of a spatula with a sheet, the device including: a sheet support jig having a sheet facing surface facing the sheet; a spatula holding member that holds a base end portion of the spatula and cantilever-supports the spatula; a moving mechanism for moving the spatula holding member together with the spatula; and a controller, in which the sheet support jig has a groove recessed in the sheet facing surface, the groove includes a receiving portion and a wiping portion continuous in a groove extending direction, and the wiping portion has a groove width smaller than that of the receiving portion and substantially equal to an outer dimension of the tip of the spatula, and the controller is configured to drive the moving mechanism so as to position the spatula on the opposite side of the sheet supporting jig with respect to the sheet, in a posture that the spatula extends parallel to the groove extending direction and overlaps the groove when viewed in a normal direction of the sheet facing surface, move the spatula in the normal direction so that the tip of the spatula is received in the receiving portion by pressing the sheet against the groove with the spatula, and move the spatula in the groove extending direction so that the tip of the spatula passes through the wiping portion.
    [0007] According to the above configuration, after the tip of the spatula to which the viscous material is attached is received in the receiving portion having a relatively large groove width, the spatula moves within the groove and passes through the wiping portion having a groove width substantially equal to the outer dimension of the tip. When the spatula is moved in the normal direction and received in the groove, the sheet is pressed with the spatula and is fitted into the groove so as to sandwich both sides of the spatula. Therefore, when passing through the wiping portion, the viscous material attached to the tip of the spatula can be wiped with the sheet. Since this operation is automated by the control device and the moving mechanism, labor of the wiping work of the viscous material can be saved. Advantageous Effects of Invention

    [0010] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated description is omitted. <Application work, shaping work>
    [0011] FIGS. 1A to 1C show a manufacturing site to which a viscous material wiping device according to an embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "wiping device 1") is applied. In this manufacturing site, a viscous material 95 is applied to a mating portion 93 of workpieces 91 and 92 formed by overlapping or butting the two workpieces 91 and 92. In addition to the mating portion 93, it may be applied to an opening edge portion formed in the workpiece.
    [0012] As an example of a manufacturing site, a manufacturing site of a vehicle (for example, an aircraft or an automobile) and an industrial machine (for example, a construction machine, an agricultural machine, or a machine tool) can be cited. In the present embodiment, as an example, the workpieces 91 and 92 are plate-shaped, and the mating portion 93 is formed by overlapping the workpieces 91 and 92. The mating portion 93 is composed of the surface of the first workpiece 91 and the side end face of the second workpiece 92, forms a right angle, and extends along the side end face of the second workpiece 92. In an aircraft manufacturing site, the workpieces 91 and 92 may be segments constituting a cylindrical airframe. The viscous material 95 is a material having viscosity such as a sealant or an adhesive. As an example, the viscous material 95 has a viscosity of 1000 to 2000 Pa · s in a normal temperature environment.
    [0013] As shown in FIG. 1A, the viscous material 95 is applied along the extending direction of the mating portion 93 as an example. This application work is performed manually or by an industrial robot. The applied viscous material 95 extends in a bead shape. As shown in FIG. IB, the viscous material 95 is provided so as to straddle the surface of the first workpiece 91 and the side end face of the second workpiece 92, and the surface is rounded.
    [0014] As shown in FIG. 1C, a work of shaping the surface of the applied viscous material 95 with a spatula 80 is performed incidentally to the application work. This shaping work is performed manually or by an industrial robot. If it is automated by an industrial robot, it is beneficial because a shaping work and a wiping work described later can be performed continuously. In the shaping work, the tip 81 of the spatula 80 is attached to the surface of the viscous material 95, and the tip 81 of the spatula 80 is slid on the surface in the bead extending direction of the viscous material 95. The surface of the viscous material 95 is smoothed, and the cross section of the viscous material 95 is shaped into a triangular shape. <Spatula>
    [0015] FIG. 2A is an overall plan view of the spatula 80, FIG. 2B is a plan view of the tip 81 of the spatula 80, and FIG. 2C is a side view of the tip 81 of the spatula 80. As shown in FIG. 2A, the spatula 80 is formed in a long rod shape or shaft shape as a whole.
    [0016] As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the tip 81 of the spatula 80 is formed in a curved plate shape, in other words, a spoon shape. As an example, the tip 81 has a shape in which a flat plate is curved with a substantially constant curvature, and is curved in a substantially arc shape in a side view. As an example, the arc book of the tip 81 in a side view is in the range of 1/8 arc to 1/4 arc. The tip 81 of the spatula 80 has a concave surface 82 and a convex surface 83 on the opposite side thereof. The tip 81 has a plate thickness s, the concave surface 82 is a curved surface with a radius R, the convex surface 83 is a curved surface with a radius R + s, and the concave surface 82 is substantially concentric with the convex surface 83. Since the curvature of the tip 81 is substantially constant, the concave surface 82 and the convex surface 83 constitute a part of a cylindrical surface. The shaping work is performed by sliding the convex surface 83 on the viscous material 95.
    [0017] Along with the application work, every time the shaping work is performed once (or multiple times), the work of wiping the viscous material 95 attached to the tip 81 (particularly, the convex surface 83) of the spatula 80 with the sheet 96 is performed. The wiping device 1 (see FIG. 3) automates this wiping work, and thereby, labor saving of the wiping work, which is a work incidental to the application work, is achieved. <Wiping device: Sheet supply mechanism>
    [0018] FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the wiping device 1. The sheet 96 used in the wiping device 1 is paper or cloth (including woven fabric and non-woven fabric), and may be dry or wet. The thickness p of the sheet 96 is approximately 40 to 300 µm. The wiping device 1 includes a sheet supply mechanism 2 and automates the supply of a clean sheet 96 before wiping and the discharge of the sheet 96 with the viscous material 95 by wiping.
    [0019] The sheet supply mechanism 2 includes a feed roller 3, a take-up roller 4, a roller actuator 5, and a power transmission mechanism 6. The two rollers 3 and 4 extend in parallel and are arranged at intervals. The feed roller 3 supports an upstream roll 96a around which the sheet 96 before wiping is wound. The take-up roller 4 supports a downstream roll 96b around which the sheet 96 after wiping is wound. A work area 99 where the viscous material 95 is wiped off is formed between the two rollers 3 and 4. In the work area 99, the sheet 96 extends in a common circumscribed line direction of the two rolls 96a and 96b, and the two rolls 96a and 96b are composed of one long sheet 96. In the work area 99, no tension is applied to the sheet 96, and the sheet 96 is slightly loosened. The roller actuator 5 is a power source for the two rollers 3 and 4 and is constituted by a single electric motor as an example. The power transmission mechanism 6 transmits the power generated by the roller actuator 5 to the two rollers 3 and 4 and rotationally drives the two rollers 3 and 4 in the same direction. The power transmission mechanism 6 may be configured in any way.
    [0020] When the roller actuator 5 is actuated, the sheet 96 travels from the upstream roll 96a to the downstream roll 96b. Specifically, the feed roller 3 rotates, and the clean sheet 96 is pulled out from the outer peripheral surface of the upstream roll 96a and supplied to the work area 99. The take-up roller 4 also rotates, and the sheet 96 with the viscous material 95 located in the work area 99 is wound around the downstream roll 96b to form the downstream roll 96b.
    [0021] However, the roller actuator 5 may be composed of two electric motors corresponding to the feed roller 3 and the take-up roller 4, respectively. In the illustrated example, a pair of belt transmission mechanisms are employed as the power transmission mechanism 6, the rotation of the roller actuator 5 is input to a driving pulley, and a driven pulley outputs the rotation to the roller 3 or the roller 4. The roller actuator 5 may be omitted, and a lever may be connected to the driving pulley. In this case, when a worker on the manufacturing site manually rotates the lever, the rollers 3 and 4 are rotationally driven, and the sheet 96 is supplied to and discharged from the work area. <Wiping device: Sheet support jig>
    [0022] The wiping device 1 includes a sheet support jig 7, a spatula holding member 8, and a moving mechanism 9. The sheet support jig 7 is disposed in the work area 99. The sheet support jig 7 has a sheet facing surface 10 that faces the sheet 96 in the work area 99.
    [0023] In the present embodiment, the sheet support jig 7 is formed of an elastic body such as rubber. The sheet support jig 7 forms a hexahedron such as a rectangular parallelepiped, and the sheet facing surface 10 has a square or rectangular shape. The sheet facing surface 10 is horizontal, and the normal direction Z of the sheet facing surface 10 is vertical. The sheet facing surface 10 forms the upper surface of the sheet supporting jig 7, and the four surfaces that intersect the sheet facing surface 10 form the side surfaces of the sheet supporting jig 7. The sheet facing surface 10 is positioned below the sheet 96 in the work area 99.
    [0024] The sheet support jig 7 has a groove 11 recessed in the sheet facing surface 10. The groove 11 extends in a straight line on the sheet facing surface 10 while changing the groove width. The groove 11 is formed by a pair of inner side surfaces 12 and 13 and a bottom surface 14. The facing distance between the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 is the groove width.
    [0025] The groove 11 includes a receiving portion 15, a wiping portion 16, and a relief portion 17 that are continuous in a groove extending direction X. The wiping portion 16 has a smaller groove width than that of the receiving portion 15, and the relief portion 17 has a larger groove width than that of the wiping portion 16. The width direction of the groove 11 (hereinafter, "groove width direction Y") is a direction orthogonal to the groove extending direction X in the sheet facing surface 10 and is also orthogonal to the normal direction Z.
    [0026] In the present embodiment, the groove extending direction X is parallel to one side of the sheet facing surface 10. The groove 11 reaches the edge of the sheet facing surface 10 at both ends in the groove extending direction X, and is also open to the two side surfaces of the sheet supporting jig 7.
    [0027] FIG. 4A is a plan view of the sheet support jig 7, and FIG. 4B is a front view of the sheet support jig 7. In the present embodiment, the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 of the groove 11 are formed symmetrically with respect to the groove width center. The inner side surfaces 12 and 13 form curved inner side surfaces 12a and 13a that are curved with substantially the same curvature as the concave surface 82 of the spatula 80 when viewed in the normal direction Z at the portion where the wiping portion 16 is formed. The curved inner side surfaces 12a and 13a have an arc shape that protrudes inward each other in the groove width direction Y.
    [0028] More specifically, the groove width Wmin of the portion is smaller by a minute amount ds than the sum of the plate thickness s of the tip 81 of the spatula 80 and the thickness 2p of two sheets (Wmin = s + 2p- ds). If the minute amount ds is subtracted from the thickness 2p of two sheets, the value becomes substantially zero, so the groove width Wmin is substantially equal to the plate thickness s as an example of the outer dimension.
    [0029] The inner side surfaces 12 and 13 are inclined so that an angle formed with the sheet facing surface 10 forms an obtuse angle. In the receiving portion 15, the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 extend from the sheet facing surface 10 inclined inward in the groove width direction X with respect to the groove depth direction and intersect the bottom surface 14. The wiping portion 16 is similarly inclined, but an angle α16 formed between the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 and the sheet facing surface 10 at the wiping portion 16 is greater than an angle α15 formed between the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 and the sheet facing surface 10 at the receiving portion 15. For this reason, in the wiping portion 16, the inner side surface 12 has a first portion 12b forming an angle with the sheet facing surface 10 and a second portion 12c continuous from the first portion, extending more steeply than the first portion, and forming an angle with the bottom surface 14. The length of the first portion 12b increases from the receiving portion 15 toward the wiping portion 16 in the groove extending direction X. The inclination of the second portion 12c becomes tighter from the receiving portion 15 toward the wiping portion 16 in the groove extending direction X. From the above, the groove width becomes narrower from the receiving portion 15 toward the wiping portion 16 in the groove extending direction X. <Wiping device: Spatula holding member, Moving mechanism>
    [0030] The spatula holding member 8 includes a holding portion 21 that holds the base end portion of the spatula 80 and an attachment portion 22 that is detachably attached to the moving mechanism 9. The moving mechanism 9 moves the spatula holding member 8 and the spatula 80 held by this. As an example, the moving mechanism 9 is composed of a vertical articulated robot, and includes a robot arm 26 having a plurality of (for example, six) joints, and a plurality (the same number of joints) of moving actuators 27 (see FIG. 5) that respectively drive the plurality of joints. When the moving mechanism 9 is composed of a vertical articulated robot, the attachment portion 22 of the spatula holding member 8 is detachably attached to the tip of the robot arm 26. When the robot arm 26 of the moving mechanism 9 is operated, the spatula holding member 8 and the spatula 80 held by this move. <Wiping device: Controller>
    [0031] As shown in FIG. 5, the roller actuator 5 of the sheet supply mechanism 2 and the moving actuator 27 of the moving mechanism 9 are controlled by a controller 30. The controller 30 is, for example, a computer having a memory such as ROM and RAM and a CPU, and a program stored in the ROM is executed by the CPU. The controller 30 may be a single device or may be divided into a plurality of devices.
    [0032] In the present embodiment, the program stored in the ROM includes a program that teaches a moving locus and a moving speed of the tip of the robot arm 26, and by execution of the program (that is, playback), the spatula holding member 8 and the spatula 80 held by this can be moved as previously taught.
    [0033] The controller 30 is connected to an operation panel 31. The operation panel 31 is operated by a worker on the manufacturing site. When a command to start wiping work is input on the operation panel 31 by the worker, the CPU of the controller 30 executes the above-described program, and position control and movement control of the spatula 80 are performed. <Wiping work>
    [0034] The wiping work using the wiping device 1 having the above-described configuration starts when the command is input by the worker on the operation panel 31. The operation of the actuator described below is based on the control of the controller 30. When the command is input, the moving actuator 27 is actuated, and the posture of the robot arm 26 and the position and posture of the spatula 80 are changed.
    [0035] As a result, the spatula 80 is positioned on the opposite side of the sheet support jig 7 with respect to the sheet 96 in a posture that extends parallel to the groove extending direction X and overlaps the groove 11 when viewed in the normal direction of the sheet facing surface 10. In this embodiment, since the normal direction Z is vertical and the sheet support jig 7 is positioned below the sheet 96, the spatula 80 is positioned above the sheet 96. The "posture extending in parallel with the groove extending direction X when viewed in the normal direction" includes not only a posture in which the tip 81 of the spatula 80 extends in the sheet facing surface 10 (as an example, extending horizontally), but also a posture in which it is inclined in the normal direction Z (as an example, inclined up or down).
    [0036] Next, the spatula 80 is moved to the side in which the spatula 80 approaches the sheet support jig 7 in the normal direction Z, the sheet 96 is pressed against the groove 11 with the spatula 80, and the tip 81 of the spatula 80 is received in the receiving portion. At this time, the concave surface 82 of the spatula 80 is in a posture facing one of the pair of inner side surfaces 12 and 13. In addition, the convex surface 83 of the spatula 80 takes a posture facing the other of the pair of inner side surfaces 12 and 13.
    [0037] When the spatula 80 is received in the receiving portion 15, the sheet 96 is also pressed against the groove 11 together, and the sheet 96 is deformed into a substantially V shape. The tip 81 of the spatula is positioned inside the sheet 96 deformed into the V shape and is sandwiched between the sheets 96. Since the sheet 96 in the work area 99 is not tensioned and has a slight slack, even if it is made of paper, the sheet 96 is received in the groove 11 together with the spatula 80 without being torn. Further, since the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 of the groove 11 are inclined so that the angle formed with the sheet facing surface 10 is an obtuse angle, the sheet 96 can be prevented from being cut at an angle formed by the inner side surface and the sheet facing surface 10. In particular, in the wiping portion, the angle formed by the sheet facing surface 10 and the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 is relatively large, and the sheet 96 is particularly difficult to tear.
    [0038] After the spatula 80 is received in the receiving portion, the spatula 80 is moved in the groove extending direction X. Thereby, the tip 81 of the spatula 80 approaches the wiping portion. Since the groove width gradually decreases, the convex surface 83 of the spatula 80 is brought close to the sheet 96, and the viscous material 95 adhering so as to rise on the convex surface 83 is wiped by the sheet 96 and removed from the spatula 80.
    [0039] The moving mechanism 9 allows the spatula 80 to pass through the wiping portion 16 by moving the spatula 80 in the groove extending direction X while maintaining the posture in which the spatula 80 extends in the groove extending direction X. When the concave surface 82 of the spatula 80 reaches the curved inner side surface 12a of the wiping portion 16, the spatula 80 is later pulled out of the groove 11 so that the concave surface 82 of the spatula 80 is made to follow the curved inner side surface 12a. In order to realize this operation, the spatula 80 is linearly moved substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the spatula 80 while the spatula 80 is rotated around the center of the curved inner side surface 12a. By combining the two motions, the spatula 80 can be pulled out of the groove 11 along the curved inner side surface 12a. The relief portion 17 continues from the wiping portion 16, the groove width of the relief portion 17 is wider than that of the wiping portion 16, and the end of the relief portion 17 is also open to the side surface of the sheet support jig 7. For this reason, even if the spatula 80 moves backward in the groove 11 while performing the combined motion of the rotational motion and the linear motion, the spatula 80 can be prevented from interfering with the sheet support jig 7.
    [0040] In the wiping portion 16, the groove width Wmin is smaller by a minute amount ds than the sum of the plate thickness s of the tip 81 of the spatula 80 and the thickness 2p of two sheets. The tip 81 of the spatula 80 is surrounded by the V-shaped sheet 96 when passing through the wiping portion 16. The minute amount ds is a value that is large enough to apply pressure from the sheet support jig 7 through the sheet 96 to the tip 81 of the spatula 80 that passes through the wiping portion 16, and is small enough to allow passage.
    [0041] By moving the spatula 80 in this way, the viscous material 95 attached to the convex surface 83 can be wiped off with the sheet 96 at the wiping portion 16. Therefore, labor of the work incidental to the application work of the viscous material 95 can be saved.
    [0042] Since the tip 81 of the spatula 80 is formed in a curved thin plate shape, even if the spatula 80 is moved in the groove extending direction X while keeping the posture of the spatula 80 in parallel with the groove extending direction X, the spatula 80 cannot pass through the wiping portion 16 or is remained on the convex surface 83 because pressure cannot be applied from the wiping portion to the entire area of the convex surface 83.
    [0043] On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the inner side surface at the wiping portion is a curved inner side surface that curves with the same curvature as the concave surface of the spatula 80, and the concave surface is moved so as to follow the inner side surface, the entire convex surface of the tip sequentially passes through the portion having the narrowest groove width in the wiping portion. Therefore, pressure can be applied to the entire convex surface from the wiping portion, and the viscous material 95 attached to the convex surface 83 can be wiped off well.
    [0044] When wiping is performed once in this way, the roller actuator 5 is actuated, and the sheet 96 with the viscous material 95 in the work area 99 is wound around the take-up roller 4 to form the downstream roll 96b. A clean sheet is sent out from the upstream roll 96a to the work area 99. Thus, the groove 11 of the sheet support jig 7 is covered with the clean sheet 96, and preparation for the next wiping work is completed. (Modification)
    [0045] Although the embodiment has been described, the above configuration is merely an example, and can be appropriately changed, deleted, and/or added within the scope of the present invention.
    [0046] The wiping portion 16 has a pair of curved inner side surfaces and has the same radius of curvature, but the radius of curvature may be different. As a result, the wiping work can be performed corresponding to the two spatulas 80 having different shapes of the tip 81. Further, only one of the inner side surfaces 12 and 13 in the wiping portion 16 may constitute the curved inner side surfaces 12a and 13a.
    [0047] The wiping device 1 may be configured to perform a shaping work. In this case, as an example, the shaping work and the wiping work are performed alternately. Reference Signs List
