By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntor YOSHIDA, MASATO (Kanagawa, JP), filed on November 22, 2023, was made availa ble online on May 30, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: " "Field of the Disclosure "The present disclosure relates to a molded part, a molded part supporting struc ture, and a molded part conveyance method. "Description of the Related Art "As a part supply method for automated assembly equipment in a cell production s ystem, there is a method in which a plurality of molded parts are stacked on top of each other, placed on a tray, and supplied to a single robot. Each of the mo lded parts includes a plurality of kinds of parts to be assembled, which are con nected together by a runner portion to form a bundle of parts. In this method, f or example, the robot needs to grasp a part and remove the part from a molded pa rt. Therefore, the target part needs to be positioned at a predetermined locatio n with respect to the robot. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-2773 01 discusses a technique in which positioning portions are formed at a runner-li ke connection portion that connects a plurality of parts. These positioning port ions are each formed in a cylindrical shape having a small-diameter part and a l arge-diameter part, and are each formed to protrude upward from the connection p ortion. In this way, a plurality of molded parts can be stacked on top of each o ther via the positioning portions, and positioning with respect to a processing fixture such as a robot can be achieved.
