Description

  The present invention relates to a unit rebar manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, a lattice-like structure embedded in concrete to reinforce a concrete building or structure including a foundation such as a building or a concrete structure. The present invention relates to a unit rebar manufacturing apparatus.

  Conventionally, when constructing a reinforced concrete structure, the bar arrangement work that arranges the reinforcing bars vertically and horizontally at predetermined intervals is performed manually by craftsmen. Units are formed by bundling each intersecting portion framed vertically and horizontally by a plurality of abdominal muscles arranged parallel to each other and perpendicularly arranged with a tie wire made of mild steel wire or by welding. Reinforcing bars were constructed.

Reinforcing bars used for unit reinforcing bars have standardized reinforcing bars with hooks whose ends are bent at a predetermined angle. For example, 90-degree hooks with the ends of the reinforcing bars bent at right angles, 135 degrees, and 180 degrees There are 135-degree hooks and 180-degree hooks that are bent.
However, these hooks are only used to make a frame with reinforcing bars arranged in the crossing direction, and binding wires and welding have been used to connect both vertical and horizontal reinforcing bars.

In addition, as a reinforced concrete (RC) foundation for low-rise industrialized houses (prefabricated houses) and conventional wooden houses, it is common to use a unit rebar assembled in advance at the factory stage. This unit rebar is placed in a basic module preset in the target prefabricated house, and then a formwork is installed around the placed unit rebar, and concrete is placed in this formwork to build an RC foundation. To do.
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-36589 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-57874 (Patent Document 2) are known as unit reinforcing bars, and the transverse muscles (main and abdominal muscles) and longitudinal muscles are all bound. Or it is connected using welding.

  In the unit reinforcing bars of Patent Documents 1 and 2, there are many connecting portions of the horizontal bars and the vertical bars, and much time and labor are required for the work of the frame and the connection. Further, in the connection by welding, since the reinforcing bar as the base material is melted, there are problems such as loss of cross-sectional area, difficulty in thermal management, and reduction in structural strength of the reinforcing bar. In particular, in the case of unit reinforcing bars, if welding heat is applied to the main bars on both sides held by the shear reinforcing bars, the strength of the main bars may be reduced and the material may be changed.

  Therefore, the inventor of the present application reduces productivity and workability by reducing the number of binding wires and welding points as much as possible when connecting rebars in a lattice shape to reduce unit strength due to welding heat. A patent application was filed in order to provide a unit rebar connection method that can prevent problems such as changes in material and material as much as possible (Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-045923). This method of fixing the vertical stripes is conventionally performed by bending the end portion to 135 ° or 180 °, whereas the vertical stripe end portion is bent and fixed to, for example, 225 ° so as to be in close contact with the main reinforcement. This is a method, and the strength and stability of the reinforcing bar can be greatly increased as compared with the conventional method.

  The unit reinforcing bar connection method has a characteristic that spring back is unlikely to occur because the tip end side of one reinforcing bar is bent back to the reinforcing bar and overlapped. Further, the tip side of the end portion of the reinforcing bar protrudes from the reinforcing bar to the side opposite to the bent portion, so that the spring back is further less likely to occur.

  On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-205319 discloses a rebar bending process, a unit, and a rebar bending apparatus using the unit (Patent Document 3). This rebar bending process and unit and the rebar bending apparatus using it have bending claws that rotate around the guide shaft, and the bending claws perform bending according to the diameter of the guide shaft. is there.
