Patent ID: 8882430

Claim:
An industrial robot for performing carrying-out of a plurality of objects to be conveyed from a storage part in which the objects to be conveyed are accommodated and carrying-in of the objects to be conveyed to the storage part, the industrial robot comprising: a first hand and a second hand, each of which being structured to mount or temporarily hold the objects to be conveyed; a first arm which turnably holds the first hand on a first end side, and a second arm which turnably holds the second hand on a first end side; a common arm which turnably holds a second end side of the first arm and a second end side of the second arm; a first turning center part which is a turning center of the first arm with respect to the common arm, and a second turning center part which is a turning center of the second arm with respect to the common arm; and a main body part which turnably holds the common arm such that the main body part is turnable around a turning center of the main body part; wherein in a waiting state of the first hand and the second hand where the first arm and the second arm are contracted with respect to the main body part, the first hand and the second hand are disposed so as to superpose each other, and the first hand and the second hand are formed with an escape part for preventing interference with the first turning center part and the second turning center part at a time of a turning operation; wherein the turning center of the main body part, the turning center of the first arm with respect to the common arm, and the turning center of the second arm with respect to the common arm form a triangle; the first hand and the second hand are each provided with a first mounting part and a second mounting part each structured to mount different objects of the plurality of objects to be conveyed, and a fixing part to which a base end side of the first mounting part and a base end side of the second mounting part are fixed; and wherein the industrial robot is structured such that when one of the first arm/first hand and second arm/second hand is extended or contracted, the other of the first arm/first hand and second arm/second hand that is not extended or contracted is turned together with the common arm such that a position of the other of the first arm/first hand and second arm/second hand that is not extended or contracted does not change with respect to the common arm.
