Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently carry out the surface treatment operation of mold materials by temporarily holding the electrolytic frames hanging the mold materials with means of lifts for stocking and transferring the electrolytic frames gathered to a prescribed number altogether to a storage site. CONSTITUTION:The electrolytic frames 2 hanging the mold materials 8a to 8c are transferred onto a conveyor 6 of the storage site 5 by means of the lifts for transferring. The electrolytic frames 2 hanging the mold materials 8a to 8c are temporarily held by means of the lifts 4a to 4d for stocking until the frames are gathered to the prescribed number. The electrolytic frames 2 are thereafter transferred into a conveyor 3 for transferring the mold materials from the lifts 4a to 4d for stocking and the prescribed number of the electrolytic frames 2 hanging the mold materials 8a to 8c of the same kind are transferred to the terminal of the conveyor 3. The electrolytic frames 2 gathered to the prescribed number are transferred altogether to the storage site 5 by means of the conveyor 6. The need for detaining an odd number of the mold materials in the state of imposing the same on pallets, etc., is eliminated in this way.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to electrolytic processing in which molds made of aluminum or the like are suspended in an electrolytic frame and transferred to a treatment tank for surface treatment. The present invention relates to a method for rearranging and rearranging electrolytic frames in which surface treatment frames are suspended, making it easy to transport a predetermined number of frames at once.

[Conventional technology! L1A″ activation N peak γ’y L ”i
+ h tAIF-] Aluminum shapes, which have been widely used in aluminum sashes and the like in recent years, have been subjected to various surface treatments such as oxidation treatment, coloring treatment, and electrodeposition treatment. The surface treatment of this type of profile material is not carried out by a single process, but by multiple processes.Usually, the surface treatment process includes, for example, a cleaning bath, an electrolytic oxidation bath, an electrolytic oxidation bath, etc. Coloring tank,
A series of processing tanks such as electrodeposition tanks are continuously provided, and the molds suspended from the electrolytic frame are sequentially transferred to each of these processing tanks for processing.

Generally, a crane is used to transport the electrolytic frames to each processing layer, but normally, a plurality of electrolytic frames with hanging shapes are simultaneously transferred and processed using one crane. However, with frames, the number of shapes carried to the location is not accurately counted to the extent that they can be attached to the number of electrolytic frames transported by the crane (or an integral multiple of that number). In the past, when less than the number of electrolytic frames were installed (or when there were fewer than the specified number of electrolytic frames left), these shapes were not attached to the electrolytic frames and were loaded on a pallet etc. before being placed next. The frame attachment was held near the location until the same type of mold material was delivered, and a different type of mold material was first attached to the electrolytic frame and processed. This is because different types of mold materials (shape, color, etc.) often require different types of surface treatment, and mold materials that undergo different treatments are often
This is because it is not possible to transport and process them all at once using a single crane. However, in order to store the molded materials loaded on a pallet or the like, a storage space must be secured, and there is a problem in that, in particular, there are many types of molded materials to be stored (a large amount of space is required).

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for rearranging electrolytic frames that can solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

That is, the present invention provides a conveyor for transferring electrolytic frames between the frame attachment position where the shapes are attached to the electrolytic frames and the storage area where the electrolytic frames with a plurality of suspended shapes are stored until they are transferred to the processing tank. At the same time, a plurality of stock lifts are arranged along the direction of the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor to lift and temporarily hold the electrolytic frame with the shaped material suspended above the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor. In addition, a transfer lift is provided near the end of the conveyor for transferring electrolytic frames to transfer the electrolytic frames with hanging shapes to the conveyor in the storage area, and the electrolytic frames transferred by the conveyor for transferring shapes are lifted by the stock lift according to type of material and held until a predetermined number of electrolytic frames with the same type of material suspended are collected, and then the electrolytic frames are transferred from the stock lift onto the conveyor for transferring the same type of material. A predetermined number of electrolytic frames with suspended shapes are sequentially transferred to the end of the conveyor, and then the electrolytic frames with suspended shapes are sequentially lifted up by a transfer lift and transferred to the conveyor in the storage area, where they are transported to the end of the conveyor. The gist of the present invention is a method for rearranging and rearranging electrolytic frames from which surface treatment shapes are suspended, characterized in that the electrolytic frames from which surface treatment shapes are suspended are arranged and stored in predetermined numbers. .

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

For convenience, the following embodiments will be described with reference to a case where two electrolytic frames are simultaneously transported by a crane.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a reversing device, on which the mold is attached to the electrolytic frame 2, and the reversing device 1 rotates the electrolytic frame 2 with the mold attached by 90 degrees and transfers it to a conveyor 3 for transferring the electrolytic frame. Transfer.

Above the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3, along the transfer direction of the transfer conveyor 3, a first stock lift 4a,
Second stock lift 4b, third stock lift 4c
A fourth stock lift 4d is arranged near the end of the conveyor 3 for transferring electrolytic frames, and lifts up the electrolytic frames transferred on the conveyor 3 for transferring electrolytic frames and transfers them to the conveyor 6 of the storage area 5. A transfer lift 7 is provided for this purpose. The first stock lift 4a holds one electrolytic frame 2 on which a plurality of shapes 8a are suspended, and the second stock lift 4b holds the first stock lift 4.
A single electrolytic frame 2 is held by suspending a plurality of shapes 8b of different types from the shapes 8a held in the third stock lift 4c, and the third stock lift 4c has first and second stock lifts 4a14b. Two electrolytic frames 2 are held in which a plurality of mold materials 8C, which are different in type from the held mold materials, are suspended.

In the installation of the mold material by the reversing equipment worker, a mold material 8a of the same type as the mold material 8a held by the first stock lift 4a, for example, is attached to the electrolytic frame 2 on the table 1a, and then transferred from the reversing equipment 1 to the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3. When the electrolytic frame 2 is loaded (FIG. 1), the electrolytic frame 2 with the shaped material 8a suspended thereon is transferred as it is to the end of the conveyor 3 by the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3, and is lifted upward by the transfer lift 7 (the electrolytic frame 2 is suspended from the frame 8a). (Fig. 2) and transferred to the conveyor 6 of the storage area 5 (Fig. 3).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. The electrolytic frame held on the lift 4a may be transferred first.)The electrolytic frame 2 with the shaped material 8a suspended thereon is transferred to the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3, and this electrolytic frame 2 In the same way, it is transferred to the terminal end of the transfer conveyor 3 and lifted by the transfer lift 7 (FIG. 3).
Then, it is transferred to the conveyor 6 of the storage field 5 (Fig. 4)
. The transfer lift 7 is not limited to one that lifts and transfers electrolytic frames one by one as shown in the figure, but may be configured to lift and transfer two (or more) electrolytic frames at the same time. It's okay to have something like that.

Next, the mold material of the reversing device 1 is mounted on the stand la so that the mold material to be attached to the electrolytic frame 2 is mounted on the first to third stock lifts 4a.
In the case of a different type of mold material 8d from the mold materials 8a to 8c suspended on the electrolytic frame 2 held at ~4c (Fig. 2)
When the electrolytic frame 2 with the shaped material 8d suspended thereon is transferred by the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3 to below the empty fourth stock lift 4d, the fourth stock lift descends as shown in FIG. 4d, and the rift 4b temporarily holds the electrolytic frame 2 on which the shaped material 8d is suspended until the same type of shaped material is transferred.

Furthermore, when the mold material to be attached to the electrolytic frame 2 next on the stand la is the mold material 8a of the same type as the mold material held in the first stock lift 4a (FIG. 3), the mold material of the reversing device 1 is mounted on the stand la. When the electrolytic frame with the shaped material 8a suspended thereon is transferred to the bottom of the empty first stock lift 4a, the lowered first
It is lifted by the stock rift 1-4a and held temporarily until the next similar type of profile is transferred.

As mentioned above, when the number of electrolytic frames to be transferred simultaneously by the crane is two, normally only one electrolytic frame is temporarily held by the stock lifts 4a to 4d.
When three electrolytic frames are transferred at the same time by a crane, two electrolytic frames are usually temporarily held by the stock lift, and when four electrolytic frames are transferred at the same time, the stock lift Normally, three electrolytic frames are temporarily held. ), even if the two electrolytic frames can be combined due to the convenience of surface treatment, the two electrolytic frames are held in the third stock lift 4c, for example, as shown in Fig. 1, etc. You can do it like this.

The electrolytic frame 2 held on the third stock lift 4c is moved depending on the convenience of processing (for example, in a gap where there is no electrolytic frame to be transferred to the conveyor 6 of the storage area 5 by the transfer lift 7, etc.). If the stock lift 4c is lowered and transferred to the electrolytic frame transfer conveyor 3 (Fig. 4), the transfer lift 7 is transferred to the conveyor 6 of the storage area 5 in the same manner as described above. good.

The above explanation assumes that the number of electrolytic frames that are transferred simultaneously by a crane is always two, but the number of electrolytic frames that are transferred simultaneously by a crane is not always the same, and may vary depending on the type of shape material, etc. Accordingly, it is possible to select two cases, three cases, etc. Therefore, even when three electrolytic frames are transferred simultaneously by a crane, there is a state in which the stock lift holds the two electrolytic frames until the same type of frame material is transferred.

As described above, the electrolytic frames are rearranged so that a predetermined number of electrolytic frames suspended from the same type of frame are assembled into one set.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the method of the present invention, an electrolytic frame with hanging shapes is temporarily held by a stock lift until a predetermined number of electrolytic frames with suspended shapes of the same type are assembled, and a predetermined Since the electrolytic frames are transferred in bulk to the storage area, there is no need to keep an odd number of molds loaded on pallets, etc., as in the past, making it extremely efficient. It has the effect of being able to perform surface treatment work on the mold material.
