Next, the operation of the panel assembling apparatus 1 will be described.

In the initial state, the beam 52 is located in the recess A, and the cylinder rod 59 of the air cylinder 58 is contracted. The beam 52 is supported by a stopper 59. The pressing unit 60 is in a state where the cylinder rod 61 is contracted, and the slide mechanism 69 makes the pressing unit 60 approach the beam 52 side. Nailing machine 5
Similarly, in FIG. 1, the holders 70a and 70b are close to each other, and the nailing machine 51 is at a position away from the end plate 2a. Further, the cylinder rod 72 contracts and the nailing machine 5
1 is at a position close to the beam 52. The frame 73 is on standby at a position close to one of the X-axis beams 12. The cover 44 located on the outlet side of the panel after assembly is closed by the contraction of the air cylinder 46.

The supporting plates 81 and 82 on the end plate 2b side
It is located at the position farthest from 3 and is on standby. Also in the pressing unit 86 of the beam 80, it is located at a position close to the beam 80, and the cylinder rod is contracted.
The nailing machine 87 is on standby at a position close to one of the X-axis beams 12.

The transport roller 5 is located below the surface plate 4, and the clamps 7 to 11 do not protrude from the surface of the surface plate 4.

Next, the rod 6 is made to protrude above the surface plate 4, and is inserted into a groove provided at the position of the base plate 2 a of the surface plate 4.
Is set on the support base 2e, and the wife plate 2a is set on the wife base 2c. After the setting of the wife board 2a, the joist board 3 is attached to the wife board 2
a, and the clamps 9, 10, and 11 are raised, and the joists 3 are positioned in the Y-axis direction by the clamps 9 to 11. After the positioning of the joist plate 3, the base 35 is set on the support plate 36, and the base plate 2b is set on the base 36. Thus, the end plates 2a and 2b are fixed by the rod 6, the clamp 7 and the clamp 8.

When the positioning for combining the end plates 2a and 2b and the joist plate 3 is completed, the air cylinder 46 is extended and the cover 43 is opened. Cover 43
Is opened, the cylinder rod 59 of the air cylinder 58 is extended and the links 53 and 54 are rotated upward by, for example, a manual operation button (or an automatic operation). When the beam 52 rises and the switch 59c is turned on, the cylinder rod 59 maintains that distance.

The cylinder rod 59 is connected to the end plate 2a,
2b and the rise of the pressing plate 50 after the completion of the nailing of the joist plate 3,
The maximum inclination angle of the links 53 and 54 is maintained until the nailing machine 51 completes retreating from the end plate 2a and rising to the beam 52 side. After the nailing of the panel is completed and the pressing unit 86 is retracted from the end plate 2b, the cylinder rod 59 is contracted by the manual operation button, and the beam 52 is supported by the stopper 59. The rod 59 maintains the contracted state.

When the cylinder rod 59 extends and the beam 52 is positioned above the end plate 2a, the pressing unit 60 is lowered to press the T-shaped contact portion between the end plate 2a and the joist plate 3 with the plate 63. The plate 63 simultaneously presses the end plate 2a and the joist plate 3 from top to bottom, and since the end base 2c is supported by the support 2e, the end plate 2a and the joist plate 3 are pressed.
And the height of the upper part are aligned. At the time of this pressing,
c and the base plate 2a are supported by the cylinder rod of the air cylinder 2d, and the base 2e and the base plate 2a are nailed and fixed by a nailing machine (not shown) provided on the support base 2e.

When the push pin 65a of the portion of the plate 63 which presses the joist plate 3 is pressed by the joist plate 3, the proximity switch 68 is turned on. The frame 73 of the nailing machine 51 moves to the detected side of the end plate 2a. The frame 73 moves to the other X-axis beam 12 side from the X-axis beam 12 on one side on the surface plate 4 and stops at the contact portion between the end plate 2a and the joist plate 3.

After the frame 73 stops, the air cylinder 70
When c moves the nailer 5 toward the end plate 2a and the cylinder rod of the air cylinder 70c extends a predetermined distance, the tip of the nailer 51 for driving the nail is located near the end plate 2a. After the cylinder rod of the air cylinder 70c is extended, the nail is driven out from the nailing machine 51, and the nail is driven into the end plate 2a and the joist plate 3. Since the nailing between the base plate 2a and the joist plate 3 is driven into a plurality of places according to the height, the cylinder rod of the air cylinder 70c is contracted so that the nailing machine 51 is once separated from the base plate 2a, and then from a high position. The cylinder rod 72 extends to a lower position.

The nailing machine 51 is installed at a predetermined height of the end plate 2a (for example, if there are four nailing points on the end plate 2a, at the second highest position from the rear end).
The cylinder rod 72 is extended so that the tip of the nailer is positioned, and the tip of the nailing machine 51 is made to approach the end plate 2a side by the air cylinder 70c, and nails are driven from the nailing machine 51.

After this operation is repeated up to the lowest nailing point of the end plate 2a, the nailer 51 is separated from the end plate 2a, the cylinder rod 73 is contracted, and the nailer 51 is returned to the initial position.

Then, the frame 73 is moved to the position of the pressing unit 60 where the next joist plate 3 is detected, and the same operation is repeated. For example, in the case where the number of the joist plates 3 is three, when the joining by the nailing of the three joist plates 3 and the end plate 2a is completed, the nailing machine 51 is separated from the end plate 2a, and the nailing machine 51 is driven to the highest position. Machine 51 and beam 52
It waits at the upper initial position (near the lower X-axis beam 17 in FIG. 2).

Similarly, the motor 85 causes the beam 80 to
When the micro switch (not shown) provided on the beam 80 detects the end plate 2b, the motor 85 is stopped, the plate 86a for holding down the pressing unit 86 is lowered, and the end plate 2b and the joist plate 3 are moved. Is pressed against the contact portion. At this time, the base 35 and the base plate 2b are supported by the cylinder rod 38, and the base 35 and the base plate 2b are nailed and fixed by a nailing machine (not shown) provided on the support base 36. When the pressing unit 86 adjusts the height of the end plate 2b and the joist plate 3, the nailing machine 87 operates the end plate 2b.
, The nail is separated from the end plate 2b, the lowering of the nailing machine 87, the approach to the end plate 2b, and the driving of the nail are repeated a predetermined number of times, so that the end plates 2b and 3 After the nailing connection between the joist plate 3 and the end plate 2b is completed, the initial position (X in the lower part of FIG.
Waiting at the vicinity of the axial beam 17) is similar to that of the nailing machine 51 described above, and the description thereof will be referred to.

After the nailing of the nailing machines 51 and 87 is completed, the pressing units 60 and 86 move above the end plates 2a and 2b,
The clamps 7 to 11 release the clamp operation. After the release of the clamping operation, the cylinder rod 59 of the air cylinder 58 contracts to return the beam 52 into the recess A, and the cylinder rod of the air cylinder 46 contracts to close the cover 44. Further, the motor 85 causes the beam 80 to wait at the initial position (the right end in FIG. 1), and causes the clamps 7 to 11 to enter below the surface plate 4.

In this state, a floor plate may be hit on the panel frame. Next, the motor for raising the frame 40 is driven to raise the beam 39, and the cylinder rods of the air cylinders 2d and 37 are extended. As a result, a panel frame formed by the end plates 2a and 2b and the plurality of joists 3 is mounted on the transport roller 5. The panel frame mounted on the transport roller 5 passes over the cover 43 by a feed operation of an operator, and is carried out so as to enter the next operation step. It goes without saying that the worker's feeding operation may be performed using power.

As described above based on the embodiment,
This panel assembling apparatus 1 is composed of a base plate 2a, 2b, a joist plate 3
A surface plate 4 for supporting the plurality of plate materials, a position in the thickness direction of the plate material on the surface plate 4 as a position in the Y-axis direction, and a position in the longitudinal direction of the plate material as a position in the X-axis direction. Clamps 7 to 11 for positioning in the Y axis direction (positioning means)
Pressing units 60 and 86 (height adjusting means) for aligning the heights of the joining portions by sandwiching the joining portions between the end plates 2a and 2b, the joist plates 3 and the base plate 4, and the end plates 2a, 2
push pin 65 for detecting the binding site between b and joist plate 3
And a proximity switch 68 (joining portion detecting means), and nailing machines 51, 8 for driving nails (fixing members) into the end plates 2a, 2b and the joist plate 3 based on the detection result of the proximity switch 68.
7 (fixing member driving means), and a transport roller 5 (transporting means) for mounting and carrying out the formed panel assembled by the nailing machines 51 and 87.

In the panel assembling apparatus 1, after the end plates 2 a, 2 b and the joist plate 3 are loaded on the surface plate 4, the clamps 7 to
11 (positioning means), the end plates 2a and 2b, the joist plates 3
The plate members are positioned and adjusted by the pressing units 60 and 86 so that the height of the connecting portion between the plate members is flush.
After the heights of the connecting portions of the plate members are adjusted, the connecting portion is detected by the push pin 65a and the proximity switch 68, and a nail is driven into the connecting portion of the plate members based on the detection result. When the fixing members have been driven into all the joint portions, the transporting unit unloads the panel after the joining is completed.

As described above, since the connection between the end plates 2a and 2b and the joist plate 3 is determined by the clamps 7 to 11,
Diagonal displacement of the panel due to warpage or bending of the joist plate 3 can be corrected. In addition, the pressing units 60 and 86 can correct the displacement of the end plates 2a and 2b and the joist plate 3 in the height direction. In addition, since the presence or absence of the joist plate 3 is detected at the time of nailing, an error in the nailing position can be prevented. In this way, the distortion of the end plates 2a, 2b and the joist plates 3 can be prevented, and the height deviation can be eliminated, so that a high-quality panel can be manufactured, and the panel assembling work can be shortened and labor can be saved. Can be promoted.

In the panel assembling apparatus described above, the clamps 7 to 11 can be protruded and retracted on the upper surface of the surface plate 4, so that the flat plate driving operation and the transport operation on the assembled panel are facilitated.
