[0008]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The glass wool plate cutting device configured as described above has many features such as being able to manufacture high quality products at low cost. There is a problem. That is, the processing tool 11
s can move together with the rail 10a and process only the direction perpendicular to the rail 10a of the glass wool plate-shaped body 50, but cannot process the direction parallel to the rail 10a. Therefore, when machining is to be carried out in a direction parallel to the rail 10a, it has to be done manually using a conventional V-grooving tool.

[0009] Furthermore, one or more chambers are provided at the bottom of the table 2 in order to blow out air from the air passage hole 3 of the table 2 and to suck the air, and a pipe is connected between the air driving means 26a and each chamber. However, since the air ejection pressure or suction force differs depending on the center and corner of the chamber,
Uniform ejection pressure or suction force could not be obtained over the entire surface of the glass wool plate-like body 50. Therefore, there are various problems such as positioning of the glass wool plate 50 is troublesome, and the glass wool plate 50 may move or wrinkle during processing, making accurate processing impossible.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a method for processing glass wool plates that can be processed not only in the direction perpendicular to the rail that drives the processing tool, but also in the direction parallel to the rail. The object of the present invention is to obtain an apparatus for processing a glass wool plate, which can obtain uniform ejection pressure or suction force over the entire surface of the glass wool plate.

In the above piping system, if the valve 29 is first closed and the valves 30 to 30n and 32 are opened to drive the blower 26, the air from the blower 26 will flow through the branch pipe 3.
1, Main pipe 27, Connecting pipe 28~28n, Pipe 21~
Air is ejected from each nozzle 22 via 21n. In addition, the valve 32 is closed, the valve 29 is opened, and the blower 26
When the nozzles 22 are switched and driven, air is sucked from each nozzle 22.

Next, the operation of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained. First, a glass wool plate 50 as a workpiece is placed on the table 2 with the aluminum foil side facing down. Then, the valve 29 is closed, the valve 32 is opened, the blower 26 is operated, and compressed air is jetted from each nozzle 22 through the branch pipe 31 and the main pipe 27. As a result, the glass wool plate-like body 50 on the table 20 floats slightly, so it is moved appropriately and positioned at an accurate position.

Next, the blower 26 is stopped and the valve 29 is opened.
is opened, the valve 32 is closed, the blower 26 is switched to suction mode, and the blower 26 is operated. As a result, each nozzle 22 sucks air and fixes the glass wool plate-like body 50 to the table 20 by suction.

When processing the glass wool plate 50 in the Y direction, the Y direction processing carts 11 to 11n are manually moved to a predetermined position along the movable table 10, and a fixing device is used to process the processing pattern according to the processing pattern. Fix each in position. At this time, the tool 11s is held in the raised position by the vertical drive device 11t. Although the case where the Y-direction processing carts 11 to 11n are manually moved is shown,
It may be moved automatically. Next, the tool 11s necessary for machining is lowered by the vertical drive device 11t, and the reversible motor 25 is driven. The rotation of the reversible motor 15 is caused by the belt 14, pulley 13, drive shaft 12, pulleys 7 and 8.
The signal is transmitted to the belts 9, 9a through the belts 9, 9a, and drives the belts 9, 9a to move the movable table 10 connected thereto in the Y direction along the rails 4, 4a. As a result, the Y-direction processing carts 11 to 11n move in parallel on the glass wool plate 50, and the tool 11s performs desired processing such as V-grooving and cutting on the glass wool plate 50.

When the moving table 10 reaches the other end, it hits a limit switch (not shown) and the reversible motor 15 stops. In this state, the tools 11 of the Y-direction machining carts 11 to 11n
s is raised, the reversible motor 15 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the movable table 10 is returned to its original position. In addition, when processing the glass wool plate-shaped body 50 in the X direction, each tool 11 of the Y direction processing carts 11 to 11a and the X direction processing cart 16
s, 16s are all held in the raised position, and the reversible motor 15
is driven to move the movable table 10 to a position corresponding to the processing pattern. Next, the tool 16 on the X-direction machining cart 16
t is lowered and the reversible motor 17 is driven, the X-direction processing cart 16 is driven by the belt 20 and moves in the X direction along the movable table 10, and the desired processing is performed on the glass wool plate 50 using the tool 16s. Let's do it.

When the X-direction processing cart 16 reaches the other end,
Reversible motor 1 hits a limit switch (not shown)
7, and the tool 1 of the X direction machining tool 16.
Raise 6t. In this state, the movable table 10 is advanced to the next processing device, the tool 16t is lowered, and the reversible motor 1
7 in the opposite direction to process the glass wool plate-like body 50.

In this manner, the X-direction processing cart 16 is caused to reciprocate, and the glass wool plate 50 is processed in the X direction as desired. When the final machining is completed, the tool 16t of the X-direction machining cart 16 is raised, the reversible motor 15 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the movable table 10 is returned to its original position.

In the above explanation, an example was shown in which the glass wool plate 50 having approximately the same size as the table 2 is processed. However, if the glass wool plate 50 is small, a part of the valves 30 to 30n in FIG. 6 may be processed. , that is, the glass wool plate-like body 50
It is sufficient to close the valve of the pipe on the outside of the glass wool plate-shaped body 50 and blow out compressed air or suck air only from the nozzle 22 in the range corresponding to the glass wool plate-like body 50.

Further, although a case has been shown in which one blower 26 blows out and sucks air from the nozzle 22, the air blowing device and the air suction device may be provided separately.

Furthermore, pipes 21 to 21 having nozzles 22
21n and the main pipe 27 are connected with pipes 28 to 28n, respectively.
Although an example in which some of the pipes 21 to 21n and the main pipe 27 are connected by connection pipes 28 to 28n is shown, adjacent pipes 21 to 21n may be connected by pipes.

[0031] Also, although a case is shown in which a branch pipe 31 is provided to connect the upstream side and the downstream side of the valve 29, one blower 2
If the pipe 6 is used for both blowing out and suctioning air, the branch pipe 31 may be omitted.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the machining tool 16 in the X direction is reciprocated to perform machining is shown.
Processing may be performed only when moving in one direction.

Furthermore, in the operation of the present invention, an example has been shown in which some parts are operated manually, but it is also possible to automate each part and perform processing by sequence control.

[0034]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention provides a conventional glass wool plate processing device with a tool for processing in the X direction, and automatically processes the glass wool plate in the X direction. Not only can processing time be significantly shortened, but also high-quality products can be manufactured at low cost.

Furthermore, pipes each having a nozzle are provided for each row of ventilation holes provided on the table, and these pipes are connected to an air control machine to ensure uniform air ejection pressure or suction force over the entire surface of the table. This makes it easier to position the glass wool plate, and the entire surface of the glass wool plate is securely fixed to the table during processing, so there is no risk of movement or wrinkles occurring during processing. It is possible to process accurately without any problems.
