Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plate-shaped member distribution / positioning device for conveying a plurality of plate-shaped members and distributing them one by one to a plurality of locations within a predetermined work area for positioning. The present invention relates to a material distribution / positioning device for a plate-shaped member that can improve work efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of manufacturing a large structure in a shipbuilding factory or the like, it is first necessary to weld a plurality of elongated plate-shaped members as reinforcing stiffeners to a steel plate material forming the large structure. In order to weld a plurality of plate-shaped members to a steel plate material, it is first necessary to distribute and position the plurality of plate-shaped members one by one at a plurality of locations of the steel plate material. The steel sheet material is distributed one by one to each of the steel sheet materials by the above, and the plate members are erected and positioned so as to be in a vertical posture, or after the plurality of plate members are transported to a predetermined location by a transport crane, the operator The plate-shaped members are distributed to a plurality of positions of the steel plate one by one, and are erected so as to be in a vertical posture and positioned.

By the way, since this work process is a heavy work that puts a heavy load on the worker, the work efficiency is low and it is not preferable in terms of safety. Therefore, a machined work process of transporting a plurality of plate-like members collectively, distributing one at a plurality of positions and positioning is practically used. For example,
In the plate-shaped component alignment apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-319096, a first transfer mechanism that transfers the plate-shaped member is provided, and a plurality of plate-shaped members are held upright on the pallet via the upright mechanism. Then, the pallet is transferred by the second transfer mechanism to a position where it can be taken out by the pressing mechanism, and the take-out pressing mechanism is guided and supported by the girder that is installed across the steel plate material. The plate-shaped members are placed one by one from the pallet and positioned on the steel plate material, and the welding work is performed by the operator.

[0004]

However, in the plate-shaped component aligning apparatus of the above publication, the pallet is not configured to be placed on the take-out pressing mechanism, and the take-out pressing mechanism receives the pallets one by one from the pallet and distributes them. Since it is configured to perform material / positioning, one plate-shaped member is arranged and positioned, and after welding, up to a pallet located away from the steel plate material to receive the next plate-shaped member. There is a problem that the work efficiency is significantly reduced because the returning operation is required. In addition, because a plurality of plate-shaped members are set in a vertical posture in the pallet, only a few plate-shaped members can be stacked on the pallet, and therefore the pallet is frequently transferred by the second transfer mechanism. Moreover, since it is necessary to provide an upright mechanism that erects the plate-shaped member transported by the first transport mechanism,
2 It is necessary to provide a transport mechanism, which is disadvantageous in terms of manufacturing cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide a material distribution / positioning device for a plate-shaped member that can improve work efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost.
