Abstract:
1. A component transfer apparatus that transfers components by transferring and positioning a rack at a predetermined position, the rack including an upper frame, a lower frame, and vertical frames at four corners, the apparatus comprising: a mounting member configured to mount the lower frame of the rack thereon, the mounting member being moveable in an up and down direction; a first elevation driving mechanism configured to drive the mounting member so as to be capable of moving up and down; an upper push member disposed so as to be capable of coming into contact with a part of the mounting member, and being configured to be driven to move up and down to push the upper frame of the rack from above; a second elevation driving mechanism disposed at a portion at which the mounting member and the upper push member come into contact with each other on the mounting member, and being configured to drive the upper push member so as to be capable of moving up and down; a pair of carrying hands attached to the upper push member at a face opposed to a rack mounting face of the mounting member, and being disposed so as to protrude with respect to the upper push member to carry the rack in and out in a horizontal direction; and a horizontal driving mechanism configured to drive the pair of carrying hands so as to be capable of moving in and out in the horizontal direction, wherein the mounting member includes an inclination restricting member configured to restrict an inclination of the rack when the rack is mounted on the mounting member, and the inclination restricting member is disposed so as to engage with outer surfaces of the vertical frames of the rack and engage with inner surfaces of the vertical frames of the rack when the carrying hands retract below the upper push member from a protruding condition.
