Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a frame mounting machine for mounting frames on both side edges of an outer wall board composed of, for example, a gypsum board, a wooden board, a resin board, etc. The present invention relates to a long object separating device used for an operation of separating and supplying a frame stacked on a sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of supplying a frame as in the above-described example, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, a frame group A formed by stacking a large number of frames a. While being placed on the (pallet), it is supplied to the separation mechanism 80, and both ends of the upper surface side of the frame members a stacked on the uppermost stage of the frame group A are sucked and held by the adsorbers 81 of the separation device 80. Then, the frame a sucked and held by the suckers 81, 81 is lifted upward and supplied to the distribution mechanism 5 (see FIG. 3). Hereinafter, similarly, the adsorbents 81, 81 are reciprocated to form a stacked frame group A.
Are stacked and separated from each other one by one.

[0003]

However, since the above-mentioned frame a is formed, for example, in a length corresponding to the long side edge of the outer wall board, the longer the total length of the frame a becomes,
Flexure or deformation is likely to occur, and the upper surface of the frame
A gap may be formed between the surface facing the suction surface and the surface.
Air is sucked in from the gap, and the attraction force of the adsorbent 81 is reduced, so that the frame body a, which is adsorbed and held by the adsorbents 81, 81, falls off, cannot be adsorbed, or separation errors easily occur. There is a problem that.

Further, since the weight of the frame body a increases in accordance with the size of the frame a, if the negative pressure by the adsorber 81 becomes weak,
It becomes difficult to separate and hold the large frame a. At the time of suction or movement, the frame a falls or the direction is displaced, so that the number of the frame a is insufficient and the direction is uneven, and the frame a is appropriately aligned in the same direction. Can not supply. In addition, in order to adsorb and hold the large frame a, a large negative pressure generating device that generates a large negative pressure corresponding to the weight of the frame a must be installed. Not only is the device complicated, but also the entire device becomes bulky and heavy, so that there is a problem that the installation work of the device is troublesome.

In view of the above problems, the present invention raises one end of a long object stacked on the upper side of a stacking group by a lifting means, and inserts a supporting means into a lower surface side of the lifted long object to horizontally Provided is a long object separating apparatus capable of reliably separating the long objects stacked on the upper side of the stacking group one by one because they are supported in a state, thereby saving labor and increasing the efficiency of the operation. Aim.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
On the upper part of the stacking group formed by stacking a number of long objects vertically, a lifting means for holding one end of the long objects stacked on the upper stage side of the stacking group and lifting the object at an arbitrary height is provided. A long object separating device which is provided on a side portion of the long object lifted by the means, and which is provided with a support means which is inserted into a lower surface side of the long object and supports the entire length of the long object in a horizontal state. It is characterized by.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first aspect, a pressing means for pressing an upper surface of the long object is provided above the long object supported by the supporting means. A long object separating device.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first aspect, the lifting means comprises suction means for sucking and holding the long objects stacked on the upper stage of the stacking group. It is a device for separating scales.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first or third aspect, the lamination group and the lifting means, and the long objects stacked on the upper side of the lamination group are held by the lifting means. The apparatus is characterized in that it is a long object separating device provided with a moving means for relatively moving to a position where the object is moved.

[0010]

In the long object separating apparatus according to the first aspect, one end of the long objects stacked on the upper side of the stacking group is optionally held by lifting means (for example, negative pressure, adhesive force, magnetic force, etc.). It is lifted to the height, and a supporting means (for example, a rod, a plate, a filament, etc.) is inserted into the lower surface side of the lifted long object, and the entire length of the long object is supported by the supporting means in a horizontal state to be laminated. Since the long objects stacked on the upper side of the group are separated, there is no need to lift the entire long object, and the weight added at the time of lifting is reduced. In addition, since the lifting force for lifting one end of the long object can be small, the one end of the long object can be easily lifted even with the adsorbent as in the conventional example, and the upper side of the stacking group can be lifted. The stacked long objects can be surely separated one by one.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the operation of the first aspect, the long object separating device presses the upper surface side of the long object supported by the supporting means with the pressing means, and presses the supporting means with the pressing means. Since the upper and lower surfaces of the separated long object are clamped by the means, it is possible to reliably prevent the separated long object from dropping or displacing the direction. It can be supplied to the next step.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first aspect, one end of the long objects stacked on the upper side of the stacking group is subjected to, for example, a negative pressure and an adhesive force. , Because it is attracted and held by an attracting means such as a magnetic force and lifted to an arbitrary height, the attracting force for lifting one end of a long object can be reduced, and the structure and structure of the attracting means are simplified, and the size is reduced. Can be achieved.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the operation of the first or third aspect, the stacking unit and the lifting unit are moved relative to each other by the moving means so as to be stacked on the upper side of the stacking group. Since one end of the long object is held by the lifting means, the operation time required for separating the long object can be shortened, and the separating operation can be performed efficiently.

[0014]

According to the present invention, one end of the long object stacked on the upper side of the stacking group is lifted by the lifting means, and the entire length of the lifted long object is horizontally supported by the supporting means. Since the long objects stacked on the upper side of the stacking group are separated from each other, the separated long objects do not bend or deform as in the conventional example. It is possible to reliably prevent the strip from falling off. In addition, since the long objects stacked on the upper side of the stacking group can be reliably separated one by one, the operation of appropriately supplying the long objects to the next process can be efficiently performed, and the labor of the entire operation can be saved. And efficiency can be improved.

In addition, there is no need to lift the entire long object, and the weight added at the time of lifting is reduced. Therefore, the lifting force for lifting one end of the long object can be reduced, and the elongate means can be used by the suction means. One end of the object can be easily lifted, and the structure and structure of the suction means can be simplified, and the size and weight can be reduced.

Further, since the upper and lower surfaces of the long object separated by the support means and the pressing means are clamped, it is possible to reliably prevent the long object from dropping or displacing in its direction. And can be supplied to the next step in the same direction. In addition, the stacking group and the lifting means are relatively moved,
Since one end of the long object stacked on the upper side of the stacking group is held by the lifting means, the operation time required for separating the long object can be greatly reduced, and the separating operation can be performed efficiently. .

It is narrowed by three.

Next, the outer wall board C and the frame a are brought into contact with the pressing rollers 75, 75 so that the front ends thereof are aligned, and the frame a is pressed against the rear ends on both sides of the outer wall board C by the pressing rollers 74. , The pressing rollers 75, 75 are synchronously rotated in the carry-out direction,
The frame a is pressed against the both side edges of the outer wall board C by the pressing roller 7.
While being pressed at 5, it is supplied to the binding machine 8. Press roller 7
5, 75, intermittently rotated, and the outer wall board C and the frame members a, a
Is intermittently conveyed and the binding machine 8 winds the binding band D in the width direction around the outer peripheral surface of the outer wall board C on which the frames a, a are mounted, and binds the binding band D to the entire length of the outer wall board C. Are wound at predetermined intervals. As shown in FIG. 14, since the outer boat C and the frames a, a are transported and supplied to the next process while being bound and fixed integrally, the outer wall board C
The work of mounting the frames a, a on both side edges of the frame can be efficiently performed. Moreover, it is possible to reliably prevent the outer wall board C from being damaged or damaged. Similarly, the subsequent outer wall boards C are sequentially conveyed, and the mounting operation of the frame a is continuously performed.

As described above, one end of the frames a stacked on the uppermost stage of the frame group A is sucked and held by the adsorber 28 and lifted, and the lower surface of the frames a sucked and held by the adsorber 28 is lifted. The supporting rods 36 are inserted horizontally in the side, and the entire length of the frame members a is horizontally supported by the supporting rods 36 to separate the frame members a stacked on the uppermost stage of the frame group A. The separated frame body a does not bend or deform as in the conventional example, and can reliably prevent the frame bodies a from falling off during separation and movement. Since the frames a stacked on the upper side of the group A can be surely separated one by one, the operation of supplying an appropriate number of frames a to the distribution mechanism 5 can be efficiently performed, and Labor saving and efficiency improvement can be achieved.

Further, since it is not necessary to lift the entire frame a, the weight added to the adsorbent 28 is reduced, and the lifting force for lifting one end of the frame a is small. The one end of the frame a can be easily lifted by the arm 28, and the configuration and structure of the suction system connected to the adsorber 28 are simplified to reduce the size and weight of the negative pressure generator 30. Can be planned.

Further, since the upper and lower surfaces of the frame a are clamped by the support rods 36 and the holding rods 53, it is ensured that the frame a drops or moves in the direction of movement. Can be supplied to the next step in the same number and direction. In addition, the frame group A placed on the lifting frame 22 of the lifting mechanism 3 and the adsorbent 28 of the separation mechanism 4
Are vertically moved relative to each other, and one end side of the frames a ... stacked on the upper side of the frame group A is adsorbed and held by the adsorber 28, so that the operation time required for separating the frames a ... It can be greatly shortened, and the separation operation can be performed efficiently.

In correspondence between the structure of the present invention and the above-described embodiment, the long object of the present invention corresponds to the frame a of the embodiment, and similarly, the laminated group corresponds to the frame group A. , The lifting means and the suction means correspond to the suction element 28 constituting the separation mechanism 4, the support means corresponds to the support rod 36, the pressing means corresponds to the pressing rod 53, and the moving means corresponds to the lifting mechanism 3 However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, one end of the frame a is suction-held by the negative pressure generated on the suction surface of the suction element 28.
For example, one end side of the frame body a may be suction-held by an attraction force of an adhesive, a magnet, or the like and may be lifted to an arbitrary height, and the same operational effects as those of the embodiment can be obtained.
