Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable automatic setting and operation based on input of name of articles by storing in advance, as a table, each set quantity about production necessary for operation of a production apparatus and reference values about inspection, reading each set variable corresponding to article to be produced to set it automatically. CONSTITUTION:A step S11 is an input process of code, quantity, etc., of production articles, whereby, for example, they are inputted into a computer using an input device such as a key board. A step S12 reads a set value table corresponding to inputted code of articles. In said table, mixing ratio, optimum water content, optimum operation pattern, etc., corresponding to address of article code are stored so that production instructions are given to a batcher plant and also kind of articles and production quantity program are given to a molding machine. A step S13 is a read process of an inspection table for article code. In the inspection table, limit values, e.g. thickness or weight of blocks when products are blocks, corresponding to address of article code are stored to give instructions to an inspection means in the line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for controlling a concrete block manufacturing apparatus.

(Prior Art) When manufacturing concrete blocks and the like, it has been conventional practice to automate the manufacturing line.

The conventional method will be explained with reference to FIG. First, step 3
In step 21, various setting values are set depending on the product type and quantity to be manufactured. That is, in step 822, after setting the various setting values, the mixing ratio of raw materials is set according to the product, the I & suitable ice water content is set, the kneading pattern is set, and the limit values for product inspection are set. Operate the line and start production. In step 823, the finished product is inspected, and in step S24, the inspection result is determined. If the inspection result is OK, the process moves to Stella 1 S25 to determine whether the set quantity has been reached, and if it is less than the quantity, step S22
Go back and repeat the above operation. If the inspection result is not OK in step 324, the process moves to step 326 and the product is discharged, and each set value is changed in step 327 to prevent defects.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) According to the conventional method described above, when setting the product type and quantity, each time, the mixing ratio of raw materials, the moisture content, the crosstalk pattern, and the limit value for inspection are set. Regarding etc.
Settings must be reconfigured for each product type due to the human system, and these tasks require a high degree of skill, and the work itself is complicated, resulting in many defects before finding the optimal setting values. there were.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to store the formulation, mold, molding machine operation pattern, and inspection data for each product type in advance in a computer storage device.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a concrete block manufacturing device that can automatically set and operate based on input of product name.

[Structure of the invention] (Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a series of steps for mixing various raw materials, kneading them with water to form a bottom shape, and inspecting the molded product. In the ilI/J control method for concrete block manufacturing equipment consisting of a line, various manufacturing settings and inspection reference values necessary for operation of the manufacturing equipment are stored in advance as a table in a storage device. The present invention is characterized in that, in response to the input of the product type, various setting quantities corresponding to the product type are read out and automatically set.

(Example) Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the processing contents of an embodiment for explaining the control method according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, step 511 is a process of inputting the product code, quantity, etc., to the machine using an input device such as a keyboard. Step S12 is a process of reading a setting value table according to the input type code. In addition, a setting value table (not shown) includes the mixing ratio of materials, i&appropriate moisture, etc. according to the address of the product code.
Al! 1 operation pattern, etc. are stored, and the batcher
In addition to giving production instructions to the plant, it also instructs the molding machine about the product type and planned production quantity.

Step S13 is a process of reading an inspection table according to the product type code. An inspection table (not shown) stores limit values according to the address of the product code, for example, if the product is a block, the thickness of the block, 1 weight, etc., and gives instructions to the inspection means on the line. The processing in steps 814 to 519 is the same as the processing shown in FIG. 2, and will therefore be omitted.

As is clear from the above-mentioned processing contents, setting values are automatically set for each means simply by inputting the product code and quantity.

Although not explained, it is natural that abnormality display and operation status output are performed as necessary at each processing stage, and this operation status output includes the current production volume, production volume per hour,
It is configured to output the defective rate, amount of raw materials used, etc. as necessary.

Although the above embodiment has been explained separately as a setting value table and an inspection table, the present invention is not limited to this.
They may be combined into one table.

[Effect of the invention J As explained above, according to the present invention! ! ! Various setting values and limited values for inspection are stored in advance according to the product type, and by inputting the product code and quantity, these values are read out and instructions are given to the batcher plant and molding machine. , it is possible to provide an efficient control method for a concrete block manufacturing device that can be operated even by non-experts.
