DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an automatic plate cutting apparatus according to the present invention. The automatic plate cutting apparatus 1 is substantially constituted by a computer and includes a processing unit (CPU) 10. A storage device 20, an input device 30, and a display device 40.
[0028]
The processing device (CPU) 10 includes a drawing processing unit 11, a block creation processing unit 12, a planing area calculation processing unit 13, a planing processing unit 14, a separation data generation processing unit 15, and a processing order determination processing unit 16. .
[0029]
The storage device 20 includes a plate material size storage unit 21, a block size storage unit 22, an edge cut size storage unit 23, a plate cutting area / exclusion region storage unit 24, a component data storage unit 25, a plate cutting data storage unit 26, and a separation data storage. A unit 27 and an overall machining data storage unit 28 are provided.
[0030]
The input device 30 is for input operation provided with a mouse, a keyboard, etc., and the display device 40 is for image display such as a CRT, LCD, etc.
[0031]
In the processing device (CPU) 10, the drawing processing unit 11 displays the input status on the screen of the display device 40 when the operator makes various inputs using the input device 30, thereby facilitating the operator's input operation. It is for making.
[0032]
That is, when the operator uses the input device 30 to input the number of blocks for dividing the plate material, the drawing processing unit 11 displays the numerical value of the number of blocks on the screen of the display device 40, and the operator also inputs the input device 30. When the boundary width between the blocks is input using, the numerical value of the boundary width is displayed on the screen of the display device 40, and the operator inputs the cutting start position and the cutting direction using the input device 30. In this case, the cutting start position and the cutting direction are displayed on the screen of the display device 40, and when the operator inputs the processing start position using the input device 30, the processing start position is displayed on the display device 40. It is displayed on the screen.
[0033]
When the operator uses the input device 30 to specify the number of blocks for dividing the plate material, the block creation processing unit 12 selects a plurality of plate materials having preset dimensions obtained by referring to the plate material size storage unit 21. It is divided into blocks.
[0034]
That is, for example, when the number of blocks in the vertical direction is specified as 2 and the number of blocks in the horizontal direction is specified as 3, the block creation processing unit 12 sets the vertical dimension (Y dimension) YL of the plate material to 2 as shown in FIG. The divided value YL / 2 is defined as the vertical dimension (Y dimension) BYL of each block, and the value XL / 3 obtained by dividing the horizontal dimension (X dimension) XL of the plate into three equal parts is defined as the horizontal dimension (X Dimensions) A total of six blocks B1 to B6 are created as BXL, and the dimensions of the created blocks B1 to B6 are stored in the block dimension storage unit 22.
[0035]
When the operator designates the boundary width between the blocks using the input device 30, the planing area calculation processing unit 13 refers to the block dimensions obtained by referring to the block dimension storage unit 22 and the edge cut dimension storage unit 23. The cutting area of each block is obtained from the preset edge cut width obtained with reference to the above and the specified boundary width.
[0036]
That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the cutting area calculation processing unit 13 determines that the cutting area of the upper left block B <b> 1 is (X dimension) = BXL− (left ear cut width) − (boundary width / 2), ( Y dimension) = BYL− (upper ear width) − (boundary width / 2), and the planing area of the middle upper block B2 is (X dimension) = BXL− (boundary width), (Y dimension) ) = BYL− (upper edge width) − (boundary width / 2), and the cutting area of the upper right block B3 is (X dimension) = BXL− (right edge cut width) − (boundary width / 2), (Y dimension) = BYL− (upper edge width) − (boundary width / 2), and the cutting area of the lower left block B4 is (X dimension) = BXL− (left edge width) ) − (Boundary width / 2), (Y dimension) = BYL− (lower edge cut width) − (boundary width / 2), and the cutting area of the middle and lower block B5 , (X dimension) = BXL− (boundary width), (Y dimension) = BYL− (lower ear cut width) − (boundary width / 2), and the cutting area of the lower right block B6 is ( X dimension) = BXL− (right ear cut width) − (boundary width / 2), (Y dimension) = BYL− (lower ear cut width) − (boundary width / 2). .
[0037]
Then, the cutting area calculation processing unit 13 calculates the cutting area of each block, thereby obtaining an exclusion area (ear cut width portion and boundary width portion) that is not included in the cutting area. The plate cutting area and exclusion area obtained as a result are stored in the board cutting area / exclusion area storage unit 24.
[0038]
When the operator uses the input device 30 to specify the boarding start position and the boarding direction of the board material, the boarding processing unit 14 performs the boarding of each block obtained by referring to the boarding area / exclusion area storage unit 24. The cutting area of each block along the specified cutting direction from the specified cutting start position based on the area and the data of the part to be cut obtained by referring to the component data storage unit 25 Every time, a part is cut according to a predetermined cutting logic.
[0039]
That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the planing processing unit 14 designates the top left A as the top left A, the top right B, the bottom left C, and the bottom right D of the plate material as shown in FIG. When the take block direction is designated as the Y direction, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5, the plate cutting is performed in the order of blocks B1, B4, B2, B5, B3, and B6, and the plate cutting data is converted into plate cutting data. The data is stored in the storage unit 26.
[0040]
The separation data generation processing unit 15 determines the longitudinal direction of the plate material in the boundary width portion based on the exclusion region (the edge cut width portion and the boundary width portion) obtained by referring to the planing region / exclusion region storage unit 24. Cutting data for cutting through between both side edges along the intersecting (orthogonal) direction is generated.
[0041]
That is, the separation data generation processing unit 15 generates separation data for separating the blocks B1 to B6 to the left and right, and as shown in FIG. 6, the boundary width between the blocks B1 and B2 and the block B4, Separated data D1 is generated at the center by connecting the boundary width between B5, and separated data D2 is generated at the center by connecting the boundary width between the blocks B2 and B3 and the boundary width between the blocks B5 and B6. The generated separation data D1 and D2 are stored in the separation data storage unit 27.
[0042]
The processing order determination processing unit 16 refers to the cutting data obtained by referring to the cutting data storage unit 26 and the separation data storage unit 27 when the operator uses the input device 30 to specify the processing start position of the plate material. Based on the separation data obtained in this way, the processing data for separation is added to the processing order of each specified block, and the blocks are arranged in order from the block that is arranged at the end of the plate and can be separated integrally. The order of all the processes is determined so that the blocks are separated after the taken parts are processed.
[0043]
That is, for example, when the processing start position is designated as the upper right B of the plate material, the processing order determination processing unit 16 first processes the blocks B3 and B6 in order as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, the blocks B3 and B6 are simultaneously cut along the cut-off data D2, and then the blocks B2 and B5 are processed in order as shown in FIG. As shown in d), the blocks B2 and B5 are simultaneously cut along the cut-off data D1, and finally the blocks B1 and B4 are sequentially processed as shown in FIG. At the same time, the determined machining order is stored in the overall machining data storage unit 28.
[0044]
Next, the effect | action of said embodiment is demonstrated using the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0045]
First, the operator uses the input device 30 to specify the number of blocks for dividing the plate material (step S1).
[0046]
Then, the block creation processing unit 12 divides the plate material into a plurality of designated blocks B1 to B6 (step S2).
[0047]
Next, the operator designates the boundary width between the blocks using the input device 30 (step S3).
[0048]
Then, the planing area calculation processing unit 13 obtains the planing area of each block from which the specified boundary width and the preset trimming width obtained by referring to the trimming dimension storage unit 23 are removed ( Step S4).
[0049]
Next, the operator uses the input device 30 to specify the cutting start position and the cutting direction (step S5).
[0050]
Then, the plate cutting processing unit 14 cuts components according to a predetermined plate cutting logic for each plate cutting area of each of the blocks B1 to B6 along the specified plate cutting direction from the specified plate cutting start position. (Step S6).
[0051]
Next, the separation data generation processing unit 15 generates penetrating separation data for separating the blocks B1 to B6 to the left and right at the center of the boundary width portion between the blocks (step S7).
[0052]
Next, the operator designates a machining start position using the input device 30 (step S8).
[0053]
Then, the processing order determination processing unit 16 determines all the processing orders so as to separate the blocks when the parts cut into the blocks are processed in order from the block at the specified processing start position ( Step S9).
[0054]
Therefore, when processing is performed according to the determined processing order, for example, first, blocks B3 and B6 are processed in sequence as shown in FIG. 7A, and then separated as shown in FIG. 7B. Since the blocks B3 and B6 are simultaneously cut along the data D2, the warpage of the plate material due to the blocks B3 and B6 that have been processed and distorted is removed at this point.
[0055]
Next, the blocks B2 and B5 are sequentially processed as shown in FIG. 7C, and then the blocks B2 and B5 are simultaneously cut along the cut data D1 as shown in FIG. The warpage of the plate material due to the blocks B2 and B5 that have been distorted after processing is removed at this point.
[0056]
Finally, as shown in FIG. 7E, the blocks B1 and B4 are processed in order, and all the processing is completed.
[0057]
FIG. 8 shows a CD-ROM 2 as an example of a computer-readable recording medium on which a program for executing the above automatic cutting is recorded. The automatic cutting stored in the CD-ROM 2 is shown in FIG. The program to be executed is set in the CD-ROM drive 3 and is installed in the computer system (automatic plate removing apparatus 1) by performing a predetermined reading operation.
[0058]
The program recorded on the CD-ROM 2 is a computer-readable recording medium on which a program for executing automatic plate cutting for picking up a large number of relatively small parts from a plate material is recorded. Processing for dividing the blocks into blocks, processing for obtaining a cutting area excluding the edge cut width and the boundary width provided at the periphery of the plate material for each divided block, and parts for each cutting area of each block And processing for generating separation processing data extending between both side edges along a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction of the plate material at a boundary width portion between the plate cutting regions of adjacent blocks. The processing data for separation is added to the designated processing order of each block, and the blocks arranged at the end of the plate material are separated from each other in order. , To decouple the block When finished processing the components that are blank layout to the block, the process of determining the sequence of all processing,
Is a program for causing a computer to execute.
[0059]
The recording medium for recording such a program is not limited to the CD-ROM 2, and for example, various disk memories, semiconductor memories, and other appropriate ones can be used.
[0060]
In the above embodiment, the number of blocks in the vertical direction is specified as 2 and the number of blocks in the horizontal direction is specified as 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an appropriate number of blocks may be specified in either the vertical or horizontal direction. If the number of blocks is specified as 1, it is possible not to divide the plate into blocks in that direction.
[0061]
Moreover, in said embodiment, although the rectangular board | plate material was illustrated, it is not limited to this, It is possible to apply to the board | plate material of another quadrangle or arbitrary shapes.
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is configured to divide a plate material into a plurality of designated blocks, plate a part for each divided block, and generate processing data for separation at a boundary portion between the blocks. So, following the processing of the parts cut into each block, the block can be cut in order from other unprocessed blocks, so when taking many relatively small parts from the plate, Even when warpage is likely to occur in the plate material during processing, the occurrence of warpage can be suppressed to a level that can be substantially ignored, and as a result, there is an effect that the processing can be smoothly performed to the end.
