Robot system for object conveying, handling, posturing and processing

An object conveying robot system comprising:

• a robot hand including a grasping portion for grasping an object;
• an object placing shelf for placing the object when grasped by the robot hand;
• wherein the robot hand moves linearly with respect to the object placing shelf and is configured to move linearly to pull or push the object from the object placing shelf or is configured to move linearly to store the object on the object placing shelf;
• and
• wherein the object placing shelf includes a shelf plate for placing the object and a guide wall for guiding the robot hand.

An object conveying robot system comprising:

• a push member configured to push an object;
• an object placing shelf for placing the object pushed by the push member;
• wherein the push member moves linearly relative to the object placing shelf and is configured to move linearly to push the object from the object placing shelf or is configured to move linearly to push and store the object on the object placing shelf;
• and
• wherein the object placing shelf includes a shelf plate for placing the object and a guide wall for guiding the push member.

A conveying processing system comprising:

• a first conveying device including a conveying mechanism for conveying an object and a posture control mechanism configured to control a posture of the object, change the posture of the object and convey the object from a first position to a second position;
• a second conveying device configured to perform at least one operation of a conveying-in operation comprising conveying the object in a first posture to a first position of the first conveying device and a conveying-out operation for conveying the object in a second posture from a second position of the first conveying device;
• a processing device configured to process the object during which the object is changed into a third posture by the first conveying device;
• wherein when the conveying-in operation is performed, the posture control mechanism performs a first posture control for changing the posture of the object from the first posture to the third posture;
• and
• wherein when the conveying-out operation is performed, the posture control mechanism performs a second posture control for changing the object from the third posture to the second posture.

A vertical rotation device comprising:

• a placement table for placing an object;
• a grasping portion configured to grasp the object;
• a vertical rotation portion for rotating the grasping portion vertically;
• a vertical drive portion for moving at least one of the placement table and the grasping portion so that the placement table and the grasping portion are separated in the vertical direction;
• and
• a control unit configured to cause the grasping portion to (i) grasp the object placed on the placement table;
• (ii) separate the placement table and the grasping portion in the vertical direction using the vertical drive portion and (iii) rotate the grasping portion vertically using the vertical rotating unit and (iv) place the object on the placement table.
