DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel for a box girder panel or a structure for manufacturing a bridge or a ship, and more particularly to a method for removing welding distortion and forming a reverse distortion of a curved panel in which a plate is curved in a plane. The present invention relates to a continuous panel straightening device suitable for a panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a manufacturing process of manufacturing a box girder for a bridge, welding distortion generated in a panel due to welding of a reinforcing rib and welding distortion generated when assembling into a box shape occur. For this reason, the panel after reinforcement rib welding is sandwiched between straightening rollers to remove welding distortion continuously,
The welding distortion of the box girder is removed by performing the reverse distortion processing while sandwiching the reverse distortion correcting roller. These box girder forming panels include a straight box girder panel and a curved box girder panel, and there is a problem in correcting the curved box girder panel.

That is, there are two conventional straightening methods of a curved box girder panel (hereinafter referred to as a curved panel). There are a straight feeding straightening method and a curved straightening method. In the straight feeding method, as shown in FIG. In order to avoid the bending of the reinforcing rib caused by the arc curve and the contact with the correction roller 62, the correction is temporarily interrupted every time a predetermined distance is fed, and the correction roller 62 is traversed. After the position adjustment, the pressure correction is restarted. This is performed by repeating a plurality of times according to the bending. In the figure, reference numeral 63 denotes a locus of the correction roller 62.

In the curve feeding method, as shown in FIG. 18, the sheet is fed in an arc direction along the curve of the curve panel 61. A plurality of guides for guiding the curve panel 61 in a curve direction to a roller conveyor 65 for linear feeding. Are disposed, and the correction roller 62 is fixed at the correction position.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional linear feed straightening method, in order to correct the displacement between the reinforcing rib and the straightening roller when feeding linearly, after the pressing straightening is once released, the vertical straightening roller is released. Has to be performed, which causes a problem that the working time is long and the working efficiency is poor.

In the curve feed straightening method, a curved panel 6 is used.
In order to feed 1 in the arc direction, a wide equipment width is required. Further, an auxiliary roller 65a whose angle can be adjusted before and after the straightening roller is disposed to handle curved panels having different curved radii. However, since the front and rear of the auxiliary roller 65a are parallel rollers 65b, the feed direction of the parallel roller and the actual There is a deviation from the direction of the curve to be moved. For this reason, the posture of the curved panel 61 during feeding is not accurately determined, and if it shifts, it is likely to need to change the pressing position of the correction roller 62. Further, an excessive load is applied to the side roller 66 for guiding the side edge of the curved panel 61, which may cause damage to the side roller 66 and damage to the curved panel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a continuous panel straightening apparatus capable of smoothly feeding even a curved panel and efficiently performing a straightening operation.

a to 6d can be arranged, and distortion can be removed satisfactorily regardless of the width (shape) of the reinforcing material. In the above configuration, the distortion removal and the formation of the reverse distortion are performed at the same time. However, only the distortion removal operation can be performed by the distortion removal roller device.

The panel can be continuously removed, the panel can be smoothly fed, and the straightening operation can be performed efficiently.

Further, the panel according to the second aspect of the present invention is fed in a linear direction, and the bending of the panel is detected by the bending detecting means. Based on the detected value, the correction control device controls the roller traversing device to correct the correction roller and the reverse distortion. The position of the forming roller in the width direction is adjusted, and the pressing angle θ of the correction roller and the reverse distortion forming roller is controlled by controlling the roller rotating device.
In the tangential direction that follows the panel bend,
In addition to continuously removing the welding distortion of the curved panel, it is possible to form a reverse distortion that eliminates the welding distortion generated at the time of manufacturing the box girder, so that the panel can be fed smoothly and the straightening operation can be performed efficiently.
