Therefore, the interval between the welding electrodes can be easily changed. can do. Therefore, the vertical stripe pitch of the wire mesh to be manufactured can be freely changed.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, the block cam has a rectangular shape, and the interval between the welding electrodes can be adjusted in two stages. Therefore, the interval between the welding electrodes can be easily changed to two stages.

  In the invention according to claim 3, since the block cam has a polygonal shape and the interval between the welding electrodes can be adjusted in a plurality of stages, the interval between the welding electrodes can be easily changed into a plurality of stages. It is possible to easily change the welding interval of the horizontal bars in a plurality of stages.

  In the invention according to claim 4, since one of the plurality of welding electrodes is fixed and the welding electrodes arranged on both sides are movably arranged, the width of the metal mesh to be manufactured is based on the center. Can be adjusted.

  The object of achieving a change in the vertical bar pitch of the wire mesh to be manufactured in a short time can be easily achieved by changing the pitch of the welding electrodes according to the width of the block cam.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a wire mesh welding apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing the wire mesh welding apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the wire mesh welding apparatus of the present invention. Here, the wire mesh welding apparatus 10 supplies the horizontal stripes 14 at appropriate intervals, and a carry-in roller 12 for carrying the vertical stripes 11, a tip aligning portion 13 for aligning the leading ends of the vertical stripes 11 carried by the carry-in rollers 12. A spacing between the welding electrode 17 and a plurality of welding electrodes 17 arranged so as to be movable in the width direction along a moving rail (LM rail) 16 in order to weld the horizontal bar supply unit 15, the vertical bar 11 and the horizontal bar 14. A plurality of block cams 18 to be defined and positioning cylinders 19 disposed at both ends of the block cam 18 are provided.

  A plurality of carry-in rollers 12 are rotatably arranged behind the tip aligning section 13 so as to hold and convey the vertical stripes 11 horizontally. Each carry-in roller 12 is rotationally driven by a drive motor 25 with a chain or the like. The horizontal level of the carry-in roller 12 is set equal to the welding position of the welding electrode 17. Further, a first pinch roller 26 and an intermediate stopper 27 are disposed at the tip of the carry-in roller 12, and a second pinch roller 20 and a tip aligning portion 13 are further provided at the tip.

  In the welding electrode 17, a lower tip 22 fixed at a welding level and an upper tip 24 supported by a pressure cylinder 23 so as to be movable up and down are supported by a C-shaped frame 28 having an LM nut 34. The shaped frame 28 is slidably disposed on the moving rail 16 that is horizontally mounted on the main body frame 21. Moreover, the center welding electrode 17a is being fixed to the several welding electrode 17, and the welding electrode 17 arrange | positioned at both sides is arrange | positioned so that a movement is possible. Further, a conductive wire 36 for leading a current from a power source 35 is connected to the upper chip 24 and the lower chip 22.

  Further, on the back side of the C-shaped frame 28, the block cam 18 is rotatably attached to a support shaft 29, and the adjacent block cams 18 are disposed so as to contact each other. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the block cam 18 has a rectangular shape, and the interval between the block cams 18 varies depending on whether the short sides are in contact with each other or the long sides are in contact with each other. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when the shape of the block cam 18 ′ is configured as hexagons having different lengths R1, R2, and R3 from the rotation center O to the opposing sides 31, 32, and 33, welding electrodes The 17 intervals can be changed to 3 stages of 2R1, 2R2, and 2R3, respectively. Further, the block cam 18 can be removed and replaced with another size. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, positioning cylinders 19 are arranged at both ends of the block cam 18, and when the angle of the block cam 18 is changed or replaced, the positioning cylinder 19 is once loosened, After changing or exchanging the angle, it is pressed and fixed again from both ends.

  The intermediate stopper 27 serves to align the front ends of the vertical bars 11 conveyed by the carry-in roller 12. Once the vertical streaks with their front ends aligned are conveyed to the front end aligning unit 13 by the first pinch roller 26 and the second pinch roller 20, the front ends of the respective vertical streaks are aligned and the timing of conveyance is awaited. The horizontal bar supply unit 15 supplies the horizontal bars 14 to be welded to the vertical bars 11 at predetermined intervals.

  The wire mesh welding apparatus 10 configured as described above can easily change the interval between the welding electrodes 17 by changing the mounting angle of the block cam 18. Therefore, the time required for the setup change can be greatly shortened.

  In the above description, the case where the welding electrode 17 is supported by the C-shaped frame 28 has been described. However, the welding electrode 17 may be supported by a vertically separated frame.
