Description
本文的觀點有關於用於製造物品的多框製造裝置。諸觀點更有關於利用多框製造裝置製造物品的方法。The views herein relate to a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing articles. The opinions are more related to a method of manufacturing an article using a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus.
非剛性材料可自包含大型捲或連續幅材的材料備料饋送至裝配線或輸送帶型製造系統或機器中。對此等大型片段材料的處理可以是繁瑣的。當非剛性材料在受張力置放時大體上在至少一個方向上可拉伸時,此情況特別成立。嘗試處理處於致使材料拉伸的拉緊狀態下的非剛性材料可產生具有錯誤或變形且因此不可用的製品。Non-rigid materials can be fed from material stocks containing large rolls or continuous webs to assembly line or conveyor belt type manufacturing systems or machines. The processing of such large fragment materials can be cumbersome. This is especially true when the non-rigid material is stretchable in at least one direction when placed under tension. Attempting to treat a non-rigid material in a tensioned state that causes the material to stretch can result in an article that is erroneous or deformed and therefore unavailable.
本文的觀點有關於一種用於由非剛性材料製造物品(例如,服裝、鞋墊(sock liner)以及類似物)的多框製造裝置。所述多框製造裝置包含多個離散框架。每一框架包含使得框架能夠在裝配線或輸送帶型製造系統中的順序配置的處理台之間移動的移動機構。每一移動機構准許向前及向後的實質上水平移動。所述多個框架中的至少一者的移動機構另外准許向上及向下的實質上垂直移動。所述多個框架中的至少兩者的移動機構的致動、同步或非同步可准許所述框架在製造系統中的處理台間切換其相對位置。The present paper is directed to a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus for making articles (eg, garments, sock liners, and the like) from non-rigid materials. The multi-frame manufacturing apparatus includes a plurality of discrete frames. Each frame contains a moving mechanism that enables the frame to move between successively configured processing stations in an assembly line or conveyor belt type manufacturing system. Each moving mechanism permits a substantially horizontal movement forward and backward. The moving mechanism of at least one of the plurality of frames additionally permits substantially vertical movement up and down. Actuation, synchronization or non-synchronization of the moving mechanism of at least two of the plurality of frames may permit the frame to switch its relative position between processing stations in the manufacturing system.
每一框架包含至少一個夾緊機構,所述夾緊機構包含打開的材料接收位置及閉合的材料夾緊位置。當非剛性材料經裝載至框架中的一者上時,框架的夾緊機構可處於打開的材料接收位置。一旦材料在適當位置中且處於非拉緊狀態下(亦即,拉緊但未拉伸,以使得材料在任何方向上並不實質上失真變形),夾緊機構即閉合成閉合的材料夾緊位置,以使得所述夾緊機構暫時將非剛性材料在適當的位置緊固在框架上以供處理。若材料備料(材料自其裝載至框架上)多於作為單一處理單元需要處理的量,則材料的夾緊部分可被切割或以其他方式與大量的材料分離,以使得所述夾緊部分可以更可管理地方式進行處理。Each frame includes at least one clamping mechanism that includes an open material receiving position and a closed material clamping position. When the non-rigid material is loaded onto one of the frames, the clamping mechanism of the frame can be in an open material receiving position. Once the material is in place and in a non-tensioned state (ie, tensioned but not stretched so that the material does not substantially deform in any direction), the clamping mechanism is closed to close the material clamp The position is such that the clamping mechanism temporarily secures the non-rigid material to the frame in place for processing. If the material stock (from which the material is loaded onto the frame) is more than the amount that needs to be handled as a single processing unit, the clamping portion of the material can be cut or otherwise separated from the bulk of the material such that the clamping portion can Processed in a more manageable manner.
此處的觀點更有關於利用包含於製造系統中的多框製造裝置製造物品的方法,所述製造系統具有成裝配線或輸送帶型配置的多個順序配置的處理台。非剛性材料是在非拉緊狀態下裝載至多個框架中的第一者上。所述第一框架包含至少一個夾緊機構,一旦材料在所述第一框架上處於適當位置中,所述夾緊機構即被致動,以使得所述夾緊機構閉合且暫時將非剛性材料在適當位置中保持在所述框架上以供處理。緊固至所述第一框架的非剛性材料處於拉緊條件下,但未拉伸而使得材料的失真變形產生。與所述第一框架耦接的移動機構致使所述框架隨同處於適當位置的材料在第一方向上至少實質上水平地移動。同步地或異步地,致使與第二框架相關聯的第二移動機構在相反方向上實質上水平地移動且實質上垂直地移動,從而致使所述第一框架及所述第二框架切換其在所述多個處理台中的各別位置。The point herein is more related to a method of manufacturing an article using a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus included in a manufacturing system having a plurality of sequentially arranged processing stations in an assembly line or conveyor belt type configuration. The non-rigid material is loaded onto the first of the plurality of frames in a non-tensioned state. The first frame includes at least one clamping mechanism that is actuated once the material is in position on the first frame such that the clamping mechanism is closed and temporarily non-rigid material It is held on the frame in place for processing. The non-rigid material fastened to the first frame is under tension but is not stretched to cause distortional deformation of the material. A moving mechanism coupled to the first frame causes the frame to move at least substantially horizontally in a first direction along with the material in position. Synchronously or asynchronously causing the second moving mechanism associated with the second frame to move substantially horizontally in the opposite direction and move substantially vertically, thereby causing the first frame and the second frame to switch between them Individual locations in the plurality of processing stations.
提供此[發明內容]以按簡化形式引入下文在[實施方式]中進一步描述的概念選擇。此概述不欲識別所主張標的物的關鍵特徵或基本特徵,此概述亦不欲在判定所主張標的物的範疇中用作輔助。This [invention] is provided to introduce a conceptual selection, which is further described below in [Embodiment], in a simplified form. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, and the summary is not intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
特定地描述本文中的標的物以符合法定要求。然而,描述自身並不意欲限制本專利的範疇。實情為,本發明人已預料所主張標的物亦可以其他方式體現,以包含類似於本文件中所描述的元件或元件組合的不同元件或元件組合,以及其他目前或未來技術。The subject matter herein is specifically described to comply with statutory requirements. However, the description itself is not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Rather, the inventors have contemplated that the claimed subject matter can be embodied in other ways to include different elements or combinations of elements in the elements or combinations of elements described in this document, as well as other present or future technologies.
此處的觀點涵蓋用於由非剛性材料製造物品(例如,鞋墊)的多框製造裝置(例如,具有至少兩個離散處理框架的製造裝置)。多框製造裝置提供以可管理方式在非拉緊狀態處置非剛性材料的大量材料備料的離散部分(即,拉緊但未拉伸而使得材料在任何方向上並不實質上失真變形)。舉例而言,在例示性觀點中,多框製造裝置暫時將非剛性材料的離散部分緊固至框架以供處理。在眾觀點中,非剛性材料是沿著拉伸方向(亦即,非剛性材料沿著此方向具有自鬆弛的狀態經拉伸或變形至拉緊但未受拉伸的狀態的最大相對能力)緊固至框架。以此方式,由製造變形或以另外奇形的物品引起的廢棄物減少,因為非剛性材料在處理期間以其非拉緊狀態緊固以防止材料的此變形。此外,離散的非剛性材料部分可以比自大量材料備料連續地處理更加可管理地方式處置。The views herein encompass multi-frame manufacturing devices (eg, manufacturing devices having at least two discrete processing frames) for making articles (eg, insoles) from non-rigid materials. The multi-frame manufacturing apparatus provides discrete portions of a large amount of material stock that are disposed in a manageable manner in a non-tensioned state (ie, tensioned but unstretched such that the material does not substantially deform in any direction). For example, in an exemplary aspect, a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus temporarily secures discrete portions of non-rigid material to a frame for processing. In the broad view, the non-rigid material is the maximum relative ability along the direction of stretching (ie, the state in which the non-rigid material has a self-relaxing state in which it is stretched or deformed to a tensioned but unstretched state) Fasten to the frame. In this way, the waste caused by the manufacture of deformation or otherwise odd-shaped items is reduced because the non-rigid material is fastened in its untensioned state during processing to prevent this deformation of the material. In addition, discrete portions of non-rigid material can be disposed of in a more manageable manner than continuous processing from a large volume of material stock.
此處的觀點有關於用於由非剛性材料製造物品(例如,鞋墊、服裝或服裝部分)的多框製造裝置。非剛性材料可包括(舉例說明而非限制)針織材料、編織材料、網狀物材料、非編織材料、皮革材料、發泡材料及類似者。僅舉例而言,在物品製造中所利用的非剛性材料常常自具有大量材料的材料備料(例如,材料捲或幅材)饋送。來自材料備料的材料可在順序地配置於裝配線中的多個處理台的適當處理台處饋送至製造系統中。非剛性材料通常包含一方向(在本文中被稱作「拉伸方向」),沿著所述方向,當材料處於張力或應變狀態(例如,拉伸狀態)下時,材料具有自其鬆弛狀態拉伸或變形至拉緊但未拉伸狀態的最大相對能力。此張力可致使非剛性材料在處理期間變形,從而產生變形或奇形的製品。因而,在例示性觀點中,可能需要在處理期間維持非剛性材料處於非拉緊狀態下(即,拉緊但未拉伸,以使得材料在任何方向上並不實質上失真),以減少由變形且因此不可用的物品或物品部分的產生而引起的廢棄物。The point herein relates to a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus for making an article (eg, an insole, garment, or garment portion) from a non-rigid material. Non-rigid materials may include, by way of illustration and not limitation, knit materials, woven materials, mesh materials, non-woven materials, leather materials, foam materials, and the like. By way of example only, non-rigid materials utilized in the manufacture of articles are often fed from material stocks (eg, roll or web of material) having a large amount of material. Material from the material stock can be fed into the manufacturing system at a suitable processing station of a plurality of processing stations that are sequentially disposed in the assembly line. A non-rigid material typically includes a direction (referred to herein as a "stretching direction") along which the material has its relaxed state when the material is under tension or strain (eg, stretched state). The maximum relative ability to stretch or deform to a tensioned but unstretched state. This tension can cause the non-rigid material to deform during processing, resulting in a deformed or odd shaped article. Thus, in an exemplary aspect, it may be desirable to maintain the non-rigid material in a non-tensioned state during processing (ie, tighten but not stretched so that the material is not substantially distorted in any direction) to reduce Waste caused by the production of parts or parts that are deformed and therefore unavailable.
如始終將論述,預期根據此處的觀點的多框製造裝置可包含至少兩個離散框架,其用於接收非剛性材料以及用於使非剛性材料移動通過以輸送帶或裝配線型配置定位的多個順序配置的處理台。在例示性觀點中,框架可為實質上矩形的且可移動地定位於一對側軌之間。如本文中所使用,預期「實質上矩形」指具有彼此對置地定位的第一對側壁及彼此對置地定位且垂直於第一對側壁的第二對側壁的框架。所述側壁可由共同地形成圍繞中心空隙的實質上矩形的周邊側壁的一或多個壁部分形成。當多個壁部分經裝配從而形成實質上矩形的周邊側壁時,此處的觀點涵蓋需要彼此附接的彼等壁部分可能已在端部部分切割成約四十五度(45º)的角度,以允許所述壁部分斜接從而形成矩形結構。將理解,略微偏離45º的角度是預期的且意欲在此觀點的範疇內。此處的其他觀點涵蓋具有鄰接附接表面的壁部分相對於彼此以約九十(90º)或准許附接的任何其他角度結合,從而形成矩形結構。任何及所有此等變化及其任何組合預期在此處的觀點的範疇內。用於緊扣壁部分的機構可包含各種螺釘或一般熟習此項技術者已知的其他緊扣機構。As will always be discussed, it is contemplated that a multi-frame manufacturing apparatus according to the teachings herein can include at least two discrete frames for receiving non-rigid materials and for moving non-rigid materials through positioning in a conveyor belt or assembly line configuration. A processing station that is configured in sequence. In an exemplary aspect, the frame can be substantially rectangular and movably positioned between a pair of side rails. As used herein, it is contemplated that "substantially rectangular" refers to a frame having a first pair of sidewalls positioned opposite one another and a second pair of sidewalls positioned opposite each other and perpendicular to the first pair of sidewalls. The sidewalls may be formed from one or more wall portions that collectively form a substantially rectangular perimeter sidewall around the central void. When a plurality of wall portions are assembled to form a substantially rectangular perimeter sidewall, the views herein encompass that the wall portions that need to be attached to each other may have been cut at an end portion to an angle of about forty-five degrees (45o) to The wall portions are allowed to be mitered to form a rectangular structure. It will be appreciated that a slight deviation from the 45o angle is contemplated and is intended to be within the scope of this concept. Other views herein encompass that wall portions having contiguous attachment surfaces are joined relative to each other at about any other angle of about ninety (90o) or permitting attachment to form a rectangular structure. Any and all such variations and any combinations thereof are contemplated as being within the scope of the teachings herein. The mechanism for the fastening wall portion can include various screws or other fastening mechanisms known to those skilled in the art.
每一框架可包含准許在成對側軌之間向前及向後的實質上水平移動的移動機構。如本文中所使用,術語「向前」及「向後」指在側軌的縱向方向上的相對向移動,准許所述側軌在相對向之間的移動。在諸觀點中,所述成對側軌可彼此平行地定位且彼此隔開足以准許框架的功能性接收的距離。如本文中所使用,「實質上水平移動」指側軌的縱向方向上的水平移動,其亦可包含或不包含範圍比水平移動小的垂直移動。實質上水平移動導致向前或向後的可辨別水平行進,且可包含(但不必然包含)共存的可辨別垂直行進。兩個框架中的至少一者的移動機構另外准許向上及向下的實質上垂直移動。如本文中所使用,「向上」及「向下」指側軌的緯度方向上的相對向移動,准許側軌在相對向之間的移動。如本文中所使用,「實質上垂直移動」指側軌的緯度方向上的垂直移動,其亦可包含或不包含範圍比垂直移動小的水平移動。實質上垂直移動導致向上或向下的可辨別垂直行進,且可包含(但不必然包含)共存的可辨別水平行進。在諸觀點中,兩個框架中的每一者的移動機構准許實質上水平移動及實質上垂直移動兩者。Each frame may include a movement mechanism that permits substantially horizontal movement forward and backward between the pair of side rails. As used herein, the terms "forward" and "backward" refer to relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the side rails, permitting movement of the side rails between opposite directions. In various aspects, the pair of side rails can be positioned parallel to each other and spaced apart from one another by a distance sufficient to permit functional reception of the frame. As used herein, "substantially horizontally moving" refers to a horizontal movement in the longitudinal direction of the side rails, which may or may not include a vertical movement that is less than a horizontal movement. Substantially horizontal movement results in a discernable horizontal progression forward or backward, and may include, but does not necessarily include, coexistence of discernible vertical travel. The moving mechanism of at least one of the two frames additionally permits substantially vertical movement up and down. As used herein, "upward" and "downward" refer to the relative movement in the latitudinal direction of the side rails, permitting movement of the side rails between opposite directions. As used herein, "substantially vertically moving" refers to a vertical movement in the latitudinal direction of a side rail, which may or may not include a horizontal movement that is less than a vertical movement. Substantially vertical movement results in discernable vertical travel up or down, and may include (but does not necessarily include) discernible horizontal travel of coexistence. In various views, the moving mechanism of each of the two frames permits both a substantially horizontal movement and a substantially vertical movement.
此處的觀點涵蓋,多框製造裝置的兩個框架的移動機構的致動可准許所述兩個框架相對於輸送帶或裝配線處理台彼此切換位置。舉例說明而非限制,處理台可包含用於切割、壓製、模製、黏附及類似處理的台。僅舉例而言,若兩個框架中的第一者處於第一處理台且兩個框架中的第二者處於第二處理台,第一及第二處理台相對於彼此順序地配置,則兩個框架的移動機構的致動可准許第一框架前進至第二處理台(經由實質上水平移動或實質上水平及實質上垂直移動兩者)且准許第二框架前進至第一處理台(再次,經由實質上水平移動或實質上垂直及實質上水平移動兩者)。如一般熟習此項技術者將理解及瞭解,當本文中陳述兩個框架「切換位置」時,預期兩個框架未必切換至精確相同位置,但兩個框架在製造製程中改變其相對位置。舉例而言,若第一框架處於在製造製程中在順序上比第二框架更遲的處理台處,則若在切換之後,第二框架處於在製造製程中在順序上比第一框架更遲的處理台處,則預期兩個框架已切換位置。在例示性觀點中,製造製程的框架相對於處理台的切換准許在將材料裝載至另一框架上時處理與一個框架相關聯的材料。此使製造速度及效率升高,因為處理在新材料裝載至處理系統中時並不停止。The views herein encompass that actuation of the moving mechanisms of the two frames of the multi-frame manufacturing device may permit the two frames to be in a position to switch to each other relative to the conveyor belt or assembly line processing station. By way of illustration and not limitation, the processing station can include a table for cutting, pressing, molding, adhering, and the like. For example only, if the first of the two frames is in the first processing station and the second of the two frames is in the second processing station, the first and second processing stations are sequentially arranged relative to each other, then Actuation of the moving mechanisms of the frames may permit the first frame to advance to the second processing station (via substantially horizontal movement or substantially horizontal and substantially vertical movement) and permit the second frame to advance to the first processing station (again , via substantially horizontal movement or substantially vertical and substantially horizontal movement). As will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art, when two frames "switching positions" are set forth herein, it is contemplated that the two frames do not necessarily switch to exactly the same position, but the two frames change their relative positions during the manufacturing process. For example, if the first frame is at a processing station that is later in the manufacturing process than the second frame in sequence, then after switching, the second frame is in the manufacturing process later in sequence than the first frame. At the processing station, it is expected that the two frames have switched positions. In an exemplary aspect, the switching of the frame of the manufacturing process relative to the processing station permits processing of the material associated with one frame while loading the material onto another frame. This increases manufacturing speed and efficiency because the process does not stop when new materials are loaded into the processing system.
在諸觀點中,每一框架可包含一或多個夾緊機構,設置以暫時將非剛性材料在非拉緊狀態(亦即,在材料拉緊但未拉伸,以使得材料在任何方向上並不實質上失真變形的狀態下)下緊固在框架上以供處理。若框架為實質上矩形框架,則此處的觀點涵蓋與框架的兩個對置側壁中的每一者耦接(例如,與框架的兩個對置側壁中的每一者樞轉地連接)的夾緊機構。每一夾緊機構可設置為夾鉗機構且可包含打開的材料接收位置及閉合的材料夾緊位置。當非剛性材料經裝載至框架上時,框架的夾緊機構可處於打開的材料接收位置。一旦材料在適當位置中且處於非拉緊狀態下,夾緊機構即可閉合成閉合的材料夾緊位置,以使得所述加緊機構暫時將非剛性材料在適當的位置緊固在框架上以供處理。在諸觀點中,夾緊機構沿著拉伸方向夾緊非剛性材料(亦即,非剛性材料具有自其鬆弛、拉緊但未拉伸狀態拉伸或變形的最大相對能力所沿著的方向)。若材料備料(材料自其裝載至框架上)多於框架上的需要處理的量,則材料的夾緊部分可被切割或以其他方式與大量的材料分離,以使得其可以愈加可管理方式進行處理。In various aspects, each frame may include one or more clamping mechanisms configured to temporarily hold the non-rigid material in a non-tensioned state (ie, the material is tensioned but not stretched such that the material is in any direction It is fastened to the frame for processing without being substantially distorted. If the frame is a substantially rectangular frame, the views herein encompass coupling with each of the two opposing side walls of the frame (eg, pivotally connected to each of the two opposing side walls of the frame) Clamping mechanism. Each clamping mechanism can be configured as a clamping mechanism and can include an open material receiving position and a closed material clamping position. When the non-rigid material is loaded onto the frame, the clamping mechanism of the frame can be in an open material receiving position. Once the material is in place and in a non-tensioned state, the clamping mechanism can be closed into a closed material clamping position such that the tightening mechanism temporarily secures the non-rigid material to the frame in place for the non-rigid material deal with. In various aspects, the clamping mechanism clamps the non-rigid material along the direction of the stretch (ie, the direction in which the non-rigid material has the greatest relative ability to stretch or deform from its relaxed, tensioned, but unstretched state. ). If the material preparation (from which the material is loaded onto the frame) is greater than the amount of material to be treated on the frame, the clamping portion of the material can be cut or otherwise separated from the bulk of the material so that it can be carried out in an increasingly manageable manner. deal with.
如始終將論述,預期本文中所提供的觀點亦有關於利用多框製造裝置製造由非剛性材料形成的物品(或其部分)的方法。舉例說明而非限制,物品可包含服裝、外套、鞋墊、鞋類的其他部分及類似者。在例示性觀點中,利用材料裝載機構將一定量的非剛性材料自材料備料裝載至第一框架上。非剛性材料是在裝載台處裝載至第一框架上,裝載台為以輸送機或裝配線型配置定位的多個順序配置的處理台中的一者。此處的觀點涵蓋,第一框架可為實質上矩形的且可移動地定位於一對平行側軌之間。As will always be discussed, it is contemplated that the ideas provided herein also relate to methods of fabricating articles (or portions thereof) formed from non-rigid materials using multi-frame manufacturing devices. By way of illustration and not limitation, the article may include a garment, a garment, an insole, other portions of footwear, and the like. In an exemplary aspect, a quantity of non-rigid material is loaded from the material stock onto the first frame using a material loading mechanism. The non-rigid material is loaded onto the first frame at the loading station, the loading station being one of a plurality of processing stations configured in a conveyor or assembly line configuration. The views herein encompass that the first frame can be substantially rectangular and movably positioned between a pair of parallel side rails.
在諸觀點中,第一框架可包含一或多個夾緊機構,設置以暫時將非剛性材料在非拉緊狀態下緊固在第一框架上以供處理(即,材料拉緊而非拉伸的材料狀態)。當第一框架為實質上矩形時,此處的觀點涵蓋與兩個對置側壁中的每一者耦接的夾緊機構,兩個對置側壁鄰近平行側軌。每一夾緊機構可設置為夾鉗機構且可包含打開的材料接收位置及閉合的材料夾緊位置。當非剛性材料經裝載至第一框架上時,第一框架的夾緊機構可處於打開的材料接收位置。一旦材料處於所要的製造位置中且處於非拉緊狀態下,夾緊機構即可閉合成閉合的材料夾緊位置,從而暫時將非剛性材料緊固在第一框架上以供處理。在諸觀點中,非剛性材料沿著拉伸方向(即,具有拉伸或變形的最大相對能力的方向)被夾緊。若材料備料(材料自其裝載至框架上)多於作為單一處理單元需要處理的量,則材料的夾緊部分可被切割或以其他方式與大量的材料分離。In various aspects, the first frame can include one or more clamping mechanisms configured to temporarily secure the non-rigid material to the first frame for processing in a non-tensioned condition (ie, the material is tensioned rather than pulled Stretched material state). When the first frame is substantially rectangular, the views herein encompass a clamping mechanism coupled to each of the two opposing side walls, the two opposing side walls being adjacent to the parallel side rails. Each clamping mechanism can be configured as a clamping mechanism and can include an open material receiving position and a closed material clamping position. When the non-rigid material is loaded onto the first frame, the clamping mechanism of the first frame can be in an open material receiving position. Once the material is in the desired manufacturing position and in a non-tensioned condition, the clamping mechanism can be closed into a closed material clamping position to temporarily secure the non-rigid material to the first frame for processing. In various aspects, the non-rigid material is clamped along the direction of stretching (ie, the direction of maximum relative ability to stretch or deform). If the material stock (from which it is loaded onto the frame) is more than the amount that needs to be treated as a single processing unit, the clamped portion of the material can be cut or otherwise separated from the bulk of the material.
第一框架可包含與之耦接的至少一個移動機構,其准許在所述成對平行側軌之間的向前及向後的實質上水平移動。在諸觀點中,平行側軌彼此隔開足以准許第一框架在平行側軌之間移動的距離。在諸觀點中,可致動移動機構,從而致使具有在適當位置的材料的第一框架在第一方向上實質上水平地移動,同時,同步地或異步地,亦致使與第二框架相關聯的第二移動機構(根據此處的觀點,亦為實質上矩形的且可移動地定位於所述對平行側軌之間)在相反方向上實質上水平地移動且實質上垂直地移動,從而致使第一框架及第二框架切換位置。在額外觀點中,可致動移動機構,從而致使具有在適當位置的材料的第一框架在第一方向上實質上水平地移動且實質上垂直地移動,同時,同步地或異步地,亦致使與第二實質上矩形的框架相關聯的第二移動機構(根據此處的觀點,可移動地定位於所述對平行側軌之間)在與第一方向相反的方向上實質上水平地移動且實質上垂直地移動,以使得第一框架及第二框架合作以切換其相對位置。一般熟習此項技術者將理解及瞭解,當第一及第二框架在製造製程中已改變其相對位置時,第一框架及第二框架已根據此處的觀點切換位置。The first frame can include at least one moving mechanism coupled thereto that permits forward and rearward substantially horizontal movement between the pair of parallel side rails. In various views, the parallel side rails are spaced apart from one another by a distance sufficient to permit movement of the first frame between the parallel side rails. In various aspects, the moving mechanism can be actuated to cause the first frame having the material in place to move substantially horizontally in the first direction, while simultaneously or asynchronously, also causing association with the second frame a second moving mechanism (which is also substantially rectangular and movably positioned between the pair of parallel side rails according to the point herein) moves substantially horizontally in the opposite direction and moves substantially vertically, thereby The first frame and the second frame are caused to switch positions. In an additional aspect, the moving mechanism can be actuated such that the first frame of material having the appropriate position moves substantially horizontally in the first direction and moves substantially vertically, while simultaneously or asynchronously a second moving mechanism associated with the second substantially rectangular frame (movably positioned between the pair of parallel side rails according to the views herein) moves substantially horizontally in a direction opposite the first direction And moving substantially vertically such that the first frame and the second frame cooperate to switch their relative positions. It will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art that when the first and second frames have changed their relative positions during the manufacturing process, the first frame and the second frame have been switched in accordance with the views herein.
在諸觀點中,第一框架的移動機構、第二框架的移動機構及夾緊機構中的一或多者可以手動致動。在諸觀點中,移動機構及夾緊機構中的一或多者可藉由與計算器件(圖中未示)合作來致動,所述計算器件功能上及/或邏輯地與多框製造裝置、處理台及框架中的至少一者耦接。任何及所有此等變化及其任何組合預期在此處的觀點的範疇內。In various aspects, one or more of the moving mechanism of the first frame, the moving mechanism of the second frame, and the clamping mechanism can be manually actuated. In various aspects, one or more of the moving mechanism and the clamping mechanism can be actuated by cooperation with a computing device (not shown) that functionally and/or logically interacts with the multi-frame manufacturing device At least one of the processing station and the frame is coupled.

Thus, the first frame 102 includes a first moving mechanism 130 coupled thereto, and the second frame 104 includes a second moving mechanism 132 coupled thereto. Each of the first moving mechanism 130 and the second moving mechanism 132 is permitted between the pair of first parallel side rails 106, second parallel side rails 108 (eg, in its longitudinal direction 168 (see Figure 6)) The forward and backward movements are substantially horizontal.

As illustrated, the first parallel side rail 106 includes a first track 134 and a second track 136. The first track 134 is vertically positioned below the second track 136 in its latitudinal direction 170 (see Figure 6).

In various aspects, the first moving mechanism 130 can include a mobile actuating device 131 (eg, a linear actuator, motor, or the like) that cooperates with the first track 134 to be substantially horizontal in the forward and rearward directions. The first frame 102 is advanced. A second moving mechanism 132 (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 4) is coupled to each of the first pair of opposing sidewalls 120, 122 of the second frame 104 and disposed to movably and the second rail 136 Cooperation. Referring to Figure 5, a cross-sectional view showing the cooperation of the second moving mechanism 132 with the second track 136 of the first parallel side rail 106 is depicted, taken along line 5.-5 of Figure 1. In various aspects, the second moving mechanism 132 can include a mobile actuating device 133 (eg, a linear actuator, motor, or the like) that cooperates with the second track 136 to be substantially horizontal in the forward and rearward directions.

In the exemplary view herein, the second moving mechanism 132 can also include at least one piston 135 that cooperates with the second frame 104 to advance the second frame 104 substantially vertically in the upward and downward directions. As described more fully below, the illustrative configuration permits the second frame 104 to pass vertically above the first frame 102 as the two frames move in opposite horizontal directions such that when the first moving mechanism 130 and the second When the moving mechanism 132 is actuated, the relative positions of the two frames relative to the multi-frame manufacturing apparatus 100 are switched.
返回參看圖2,說明了圖1的多框製造裝置100的截面,沿著其線2.-2.截取。第一平行側軌106包含第一軌道134及第二軌道136,第一軌道134垂直地定位在第二軌道136之下。第一移動機構130(參看圖1及圖3可見)與第一框架102的對置側壁110耦接且設置以可移動地與第一軌道134合作。第二移動機構132與第二框架104的對置側壁120耦接且設置以可移動地與第二軌道136合作。Referring back to Figure 2, a cross section of the multi-frame manufacturing apparatus 100 of Figure 1 is illustrated, taken along line 2.-2.

An illustrative procedure in which this positional switching can occur is illustrated with reference to Figures 7-10. Referring to Figure 7, the first frame is illustrated as having moved substantially horizontally in a first direction, visible relative to a discernable level of position of the first frame 102 in Figure 2 . Referring to Figure 8, the second frame 104 is illustrated as having moved substantially vertically in the upward direction. Referring to Figure 9, once positioned to clear the first frame 102, the second frame 104 is caused to move substantially horizontally in a horizontal direction opposite to the horizontal direction in which the first frame 102 is caused to move. As shown in FIG. 10, synchronously, the first frame 102 is illustrated as continuing its horizontal advancement in the first direction. As illustrated in Figure 11, the second frame 104 is illustrated as having moved substantially vertically in a downward direction such that the first frame 102 and the second frame 104 have switched their relative locations in a sequential configuration of the processing station.
