Abstract

Provided is a packing material that makes it possible to omit an exclusive part for installing a robot on a stand, and to reduce the number of parts of the robot. The packing material for packing the robot has a first support member that supports the robot in a state in which a base of the robot is exposed, and the first support member is provided with grip portions which are held by a worker to lift the robot together with the first support member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A packing material for packing an articulated robot including a base and a manipulator provided on the base, the packing material comprising:
a first packing member configured to accommodate part of the manipulator; and
a second packing member configured to accommodate another part of the manipulator,
wherein
the first packing member includes
a first accommodation portion that is a recess formed on one surface of the first packing member,
a first attachment portion that is a hole penetrating the first packing member from the one surface formed with the first accommodation portion toward a surface opposite to the one surface, and
a first gripped portion that is a hole or a recess formed on the surface opposite to the one surface formed with the first accommodation portion,

the second packing member includes
a second accommodation portion that is a recess formed on one surface of the second packing member,
a second attachment portion that is a hole being formed at a position corresponding to the first attachment portion and penetrating the second packing member from the one surface formed with the second accommodation portion toward a surface opposite to the one surface, and
a second gripped portion that is a hole or recess formed on a surface opposite to the surface formed with the second accommodation portion,

the manipulator is inserted into the first accommodation portion, and the first accommodation portion covers part of an outer circumferential surface of the manipulator,
the manipulator is inserted into the second accommodation portion, and the second accommodation portion covers part of the outer circumferential surface of the manipulator not covered by the first accommodation portion,
the second accommodation portion is also formed on a lower surface of the second packing member and includes an opening that allows the base of the articulated robot to protrude downward from the second packing member, and
a height of the second packing member is shorter than a height of the first packing member.

2. The packing material according to claim 1 , further comprising a third packing member that includes a third accommodation portion configured to accommodate the base,
wherein the third packing member is detached from the base in a case where the first packing member and the second packing member are hoisted together with the articulated robot or in a case where the first packing member and the second packing member are lifted together with the articulated robot.
