DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a frame assembling apparatus which is used when a frame member such as a frame made of extruded aluminum is mounted on the periphery of a glass plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a glass plate has been placed on a table face down, and a frame member has been manually attached to the periphery thereof.

[0003]

By the way, a glass plate is generally carried into a work place in an upright state. The glass plate is set down on a table one by one, and is set up again after a frame. Is annoying,
In addition, since the work of attaching the frame member to the glass plate placed on the table is performed, the work is performed with the worker hardly bent down, which is a difficult work, and the work is painful.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. Although the attachment of the frame member is performed manually, the user needs to bend down as in the prior art but hardly need to perform the operation in a comfortable posture. Is to be able to do it.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems A solution according to the present invention is to provide a conveyor on which a glass plate is transported in an upright state on a work table, and a frame which stands up close to the conveyor, and which is provided on the conveyor side of the frame. Vacuum, in which a support plate is vertically movable by means of elevating means, a plurality of arms are radially projected on a support shaft rotatably provided on the support plate, and a glass plate is forcibly attached and detached to each arm forcibly. It is characterized by having a pad.

In addition, foot switches for commanding respective operations of suction and release of the vacuum pad, lifting and lowering of the support plate, and rotation of the support shaft are arranged in a row at a position opposed to the frame with the conveyor of the work table therebetween. Is preferred.

[0007]

[Function] An operator can stand on the work table.
The standing glass plate is placed on a conveyor with the glass plate standing, transported to the position of the frame as it is, the glass plate is first adsorbed to the vacuum pad, and the support plate is raised to the height suitable for the operator, where the glass Attach a frame member to each of the upstanding side edges of the plate, and then rotate the support plate to erect the unattached side edges of the glass plate,
Then, a frame member is fitted to each side edge, and after attaching the frame members to the four circumferences in this way, the support plate is lowered, the glass plate is lowered on the conveyor, the suction of the vacuum pad is released, and then along the conveyor. To discharge.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the embodiment of the present invention, a glass plate is carried in an upright state by a conveyor provided on a work table, and is held by a plurality of vacuum pads while the glass plate is upright. The plate is supported at a position raised from the conveyor, and frame members are manually attached to both side edges standing on the glass plate.
Rotate and attach the frame members to both side edges that stand up again, then lower the glass plate to which the frame members are attached on the conveyor, release the fixation by the vacuum pad,
It is configured to be carried out of the work table along the conveyor.

Further, foot switches for supplying / exhausting air to / from the vacuum pad holding the above-mentioned glass plate, commands for moving the glass plate up and down, and commands for rotating the glass plate are arranged in a row on a workbench. Things.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment in which a sash of a sash is formed. As shown in FIG. 6, a frame member W serving as a vertical frame and a horizontal frame is fitted on four sides of a glass plate G. is there.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a conveyor 2 with rollers is provided on one side of a long side of a work table 1 which is rectangular and serves as a scaffold for an operator over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. A frame 3 formed by erecting a profile is provided at the center of the side of the table 1 on which the conveyor 2 is provided, and the elevating means 5 is provided with the support plate 4 standing on the surface of the frame 3 on the side of the conveyor 2.
To move up and down.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, rails 6 are provided on both sides of the frame 3 so that the support plate 4 can be moved up and down. A holding roller 7 sandwiching the plate surface from both sides and a guide roller 8 running on the end face of each rail 6 are provided.

The elevating means 5 of the support board 4 is formed by meshing a pinion 10 rotatably driven by an elevating motor 9 fixed to the support board 4 with a rack 11 provided on the frame 3, and the upper and lower limits thereof can be controlled. As shown in FIG. 4, a pair of upper and lower projecting pieces 12 and 13 project from the support board 4 toward the frame 3 and stoppers 1 are provided on the upper and lower portions of the frame 3, respectively.
4, 15 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 8, a support shaft 16 is provided at the center of the support plate 4 so as to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor 2, and the support shaft 16 is provided below the support plate 4. A plurality of arms 18 are radially protruded from a tip of the support shaft 16 on the side of the conveyor 2, and a vacuum pad 19 (hereinafter simply referred to as a pad) is provided at the tip of each arm 18. Abbreviated as ") to each pat 19
Is provided so that the front surface of the device is flush. Further, the pat 19 forcibly sucks air to adsorb the glass plate G,
It is of a type that can be separated by inflow of air. Therefore, a vent hole 20 is provided in the core of the support shaft 16, and the number of air ports 2 corresponding to the number of pads is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip.
1 is opened, and each air port 21 and the pad 19 are connected by a hose or the like.

A first foot switch 22 for alternately instructing the above-mentioned pad 19 to suck and release the glass plate G, a second foot switch 23 for instructing the support plate 4 to rise, and a third foot switch 24 for instructing the lowering of the support plate 4 Foot switch 2 for driving the turning motor 17 to command the support board 4 to turn
5 are arranged on the work table 1.

With the above structure, in order to assemble the frame member W on the glass plate G, the glass plate G is placed on the conveyor 2 with the glass plate G standing upright and transported to a position facing the pad 19. Then, the glass plate G is pressed against the pads 19, the first foot switch 22 is depressed, and the air in the pads 19 is sucked to hold the glass plates G by the respective pads 19. Next, the second foot switch 23 is depressed to drive the elevating motor 9 to raise the glass plate G together with the support board 4, and raise the glass plate G to a height suitable for the work and stop. Then, the frame members W are attached to the both side edges where the glass plate G stands up, and after the attachment work is completed, the fourth foot switch 25 is depressed to rotate the glass plate G by 90 ° and adjust the glass plate G to a predetermined height position. Then, the frame members W are fitted to the both side edges which are also raised. After assembling the frame member W as described above, the glass plate G is lowered and placed on the conveyor 2, separated from the pad 19 and carried out along the conveyor 2 to one side.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described motors 9 and 17, but may be another driving source, for example, a prime mover using a cylinder or the like. A pinion 1 is used as the elevating means.
The lifting and lowering means is not limited to 0 and the rack 11, and may be a bowl screw, a chain, or the like.

[0018]

According to the frame assembling apparatus of the present invention, since the conveyor is provided on the work table, the glass plate can be safely transferred while standing upright, and the glass plate is vacuumed at the intermediate portion where the transfer is performed. Since it can be lifted as it is by being attracted to the pad and the glass plate can be turned, it can be held at the position where the operator can work most easily. Since the mounting operation can be performed on the mounting surface, it is not necessary to perform the operation in the state of the middle as in the related art, and the assembling operation is greatly facilitated.
