Abstract

A support jig is configured to be capable of supporting a first anti-vibration material including a first outer cylinder and a second anti-vibration material including a second outer cylinder, the support jig including a jig main body that accommodates lower portions of the first and second anti-vibration materials, and an adapter configured to be selectively attachable onto an upper portion of the jig main body. The jig main body includes, at an upper end portion, a main body counterbore portion for supporting the first anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the first anti-vibration material at the first outer cylinder, in a state where no adapter is attached. The adapter includes, at an upper end portion, an adapter counterbore portion for supporting the second anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the second anti-vibration material at the second outer cylinder, in a state where the adapter is attached.

Claims (37)

1. A support jig for an anti-vibration material, the support jig supporting the anti-vibration material, which is a constituent element of a anti-vibration device and which includes an outer cylinder having a tubular shape, at the outer cylinder from below in a posture in which an axial line is vertically oriented, the support jig comprising:

a jig main body that accommodates a lower part of the anti-vibration material in an inside; and

an adapter configured to be selectively attachable onto an upper part of the jig main body,

wherein the support jig is configured to be capable of supporting a plurality of types of anti-vibration materials including a first anti-vibration material and a second anti-vibration material, the first anti-vibration material including a first outer cylinder, the second anti-vibration material including a second outer cylinder, the second outer cylinder having a diameter different from a diameter of the first outer cylinder,

wherein the jig main body includes, at an upper end portion, a first support portion for supporting the first anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the first anti-vibration material at the first outer cylinder, in a state where no adapter is attached,

wherein the adapter includes, at an upper end portion, a second support portion for supporting the second anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the second anti-vibration material at the second outer cylinder, in a state where the adapter is attached, and

wherein the adapter is installed on the jig main body by being attracted by a magnetic force.

2. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the jig main body includes a counterbore portion,

wherein the adapter includes a protrusion having an annular shape and protruding downward, and

wherein the adapter is positioned with respect to the jig main body by fitting the protrusion in the counterbore portion, in a state where the adapter is installed on an upper part of the jig main body.

3. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 2 ,

wherein the counterbore portion is realized by the first support portion.

4. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the jig main body includes a positioning portion that positions a lower end portion of the anti-vibration material in a rotation direction around an axial center of the lower end portion.

5. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 1 ,

wherein a length from the second outer cylinder of the second anti-vibration material to a lower end portion of the second anti-vibration material is longer than a length from the first outer cylinder of the first anti-vibration material to a lower end portion of the first anti-vibration material.

6. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the jig main body is configured such that an upper support portion having a cylindrical shape and a lower support portion having a disc shape are connected with each other.

7. The support jig for the anti-vibration material according to claim 4 ,

wherein the positioning portion is configured to be capable of positioning one of the lower end portions of the first anti-vibration material and the second anti-vibration material by external fitting, and to be capable of positioning the other one of the lower end portions by internal fitting.

8. An assembling device for a anti-vibration device, the assembling device comprising:

a support jig for an anti-vibration material, which is a constituent element of the anti-vibration device and which includes an outer cylinder having a tubular shape, at the outer cylinder from below in a posture in which an axial line is vertically oriented; and

a robot arm that assembles an actuator to the anti-vibration material mounted on the support jig,

wherein the support jig comprising:

a jig main body that accommodates a lower part of the anti-vibration material in an inside; and

an adapter configured to be selectively attachable onto an upper part of the jig main body,

wherein the support jig is configured to be capable of supporting a plurality of types of anti-vibration materials including a first anti-vibration material and a second anti-vibration material, the first anti-vibration material including a first outer cylinder, the second anti-vibration material including a second outer cylinder, the second outer cylinder having a diameter different from a diameter of the first outer cylinder,

wherein the jig main body includes, at an upper end portion, a first support portion for supporting the first anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the first anti-vibration material at the first outer cylinder, in a state where no adapter is attached,

wherein the adapter includes, at an upper end portion, a second support portion for supporting the second anti-vibration material from below while horizontally positioning the second anti-vibration material at the second outer cylinder, in a state where the adapter is attached, and

wherein the adapter is installed on the jig main body by being attracted by a magnetic force.

9. The assembling device for the anti-vibration device according to claim 8 ,

further comprising a sensor that detects a presence or absence of an adapter on the support jig.

10. The assembling device for the anti-vibration device according to claim 8 ,

further comprising a sensor that detects a posture of the anti-vibration material mounted on the support jig.

11. The assembling device for the anti-vibration device according to claim 8 ,

further comprising a sensor that detects the actuator assembled in the anti-vibration material mounted on the support jig.
