Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to anodizing equipment for aluminum and its alloys (hereinafter referred to as aluminum), and more specifically, a work station for attaching a workpiece to a frame and a workstation for attaching a workpiece to a frame, and a workstation for attaching a workpiece to a frame. This relates to anodizing equipment for aluminum, in which a stockyard is arranged linearly from the racking side to the unrucking side, and is equipped with a line that carries the actual frames attached to the aluminum and transports them to the anodizing equipment via the anodizing pre-treatment equipment. .

Traditionally, the station for attaching aluminum profiles to empty frames and the stockyard for the actual frames to which the profiles are attached are often arranged in a linear arrangement with the pretreatment equipment. In this arrangement, aluminum sections with widely different shapes, such as sashes and sections for sashes, and curtain walls and bent sheets for curtain walls, require different installation methods and different installation jigs, so they can be installed at one mounting station. The installation work is troublesome and reduces work efficiency. For example, the sash profile can be attached using a piece attached to the rack rod of the frame, and a lifter device can be used at this time. On the other hand, since bent plate materials and curtain walls assembled from bent plate materials are curved, it is desirable for work to place them on a workbench and attach them to a frame.

An object of the present invention is to provide anodizing equipment for aluminum, which is improved in that the above-mentioned materials to be treated, which have widely different shapes, are attached to a frame using an attachment method suitable for each and then generally transported to a stockyard in front of a pretreatment device. That's true.

The purpose of the above is to install a stockyard on the racking side, which is equipped with a line that carries actual frames to which sashes or sash profiles (hereinafter referred to as sashes) are attached, and transports them to an anodizing treatment device via an anodizing pretreatment device. An upright system in which empty frames and real frames with sashes attached to the racking work station (hereinafter referred to as the first work station) arranged on the racking side are arranged linearly from the racking side to the unracking side, and are raised and lowered by guiding them at both ends. In an aluminum anodizing treatment facility in which a lifter device having a guide portion and a device for transferring the real frame to the conveyance line are installed, a bent plate material or a curtain wall (hereinafter abbreviated as curtain wall) is placed on the empty frame. Another racking work station (hereinafter referred to as a second work station) is provided adjacent to the stockyard or the first work station, and a second hoist is installed to raise and lower the empty frame and the actual frame to which the curtain wall is attached.
A dedicated conveying device is installed at the work station and moves the actual frame from the second work station to the racking side of the carrying conveyance line, and the conveyor device moves between the first and second work stations on a rail in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance line. This is achieved by providing an aluminum anodizing treatment facility that is configured with the hoist that is movable and that uses the transfer device to transfer the actual frame to which the curtain wall is attached to the transfer line.

A first work station for installing the sash profile is provided with a lifter device for installation, while a second work station for installing the curtain wall material is provided with a hoist. Since sash has a higher throughput than curtain walls, it is attached to empty frames using a high-performance lifter device. The lifter device guides the real frame and the empty frame at both ends to raise and lower the frame, and has an upright guide part.The guide part allows the frames to be raised and lowered, and also restricts movements other than the raising and lowering. This makes it possible to raise and lower the frame at high speed and with high efficiency. On the other hand, if a lifter device is used to attach a curtain wall to an empty frame, the equipment cost will not be commensurate with the throughput, so a hoist with low equipment cost is used.

Efficiency can be improved by attaching the sash to the empty frame at the first work station and attaching the curtain wall to the empty frame at the second work station. That is, the first work station is arranged linearly with the post-processing line and has high conveyance efficiency, so it is used for attaching sashes with a large throughput.

The dedicated transport device for moving the curtain wall to the stockyard is configured so that the hoist used to raise and lower the curtain wall is moved directly to the first work station on the rail, so that it can be moved from the second work station to the first work station. can be transferred smoothly and equipment costs can be kept low.

The specific structure of the dedicated transport device is that a hoist is installed on the hanging bar to lift the curtain wall after attaching it to the frame on the workbench, and this hanging bar is transported to the second work station via an electric trolley. Preferably, it is mounted on a rail extending from the first work station beyond the stockyard of the first work station. As for the structure of the rail for conveying the frame to which the curtain wall is attached, it is desirable that the rail be provided between the conveyance line and the lifter device in plan view.

The equipment used to transfer the actual frame to the conveyor line is shared by the curtain wall.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail by means of exemplary embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
