Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention uses a tile alignment plate for aligning a group of tiles in order to simultaneously apply a plurality of tiles to a building wall or floor. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tile unit. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in Japanese Patent No. 2897955, adjacent tiles of a group of tiles composed of a plurality of tiles arranged at predetermined joint intervals are synthesized on the back surface. A method of manufacturing a tile unit connected by a resin bridge piece is known. However, in the conventional method, a step of placing a synthetic resin material to be a bridge piece on a transfer plate in the same arrangement as the bridge piece,
A step of receiving a group of tiles in an upward tile alignment plate that arranges and stores the group of tiles, a step of sucking the aligned group of tiles with a suction cup and lifting the suction cup, and transferring the group of tiles A step of pressing the board against the board to bond the synthetic resin material over adjacent tiles, a step of curing the synthetic resin material, and a step of removing the transfer plate from the group of tiles. A group of tiles housed and aligned in an upward tile alignment plate is also unconstrained when lifted by a suction cup and placed on the transfer plate and when placed and cured on the transfer plate. Therefore, there is a problem in that the tiles may move due to vibration during transportation and the gap between the tiles (hereinafter, referred to as joint space) may be shifted, and a group of tiles may be misaligned. [0004] As means for solving such a problem, the present invention has a section for accommodating a tile partitioned by a ridge, and further includes a section for each tile. I thought of using a tile alignment plate with a through-hole. Then, in a state where the alignment plate is covered with the alignment plate and aligned, the tiles are sucked by the suction cups through the through holes and lifted together with the tile alignment plate, so that the joints can be conveyed without displacement. Was. [0005] The present invention provides a tile using this tile alignment plate.
A unit is manufactured. That is, according to the present invention,
The manufacturing method of the oil unit is adjusted at predetermined joint intervals.
Adjacent ties of a group of tiles consisting of multiple tiles arranged in a row
To each other with a synthetic resin bridge piece on the back side.
A step of placing in the manufacturing method of a tile unit, the same arrangement as the bridge piece material of synthetic resin to be the bridge piece to the transfer board that, through holes are partitioned by ribs
Arranges and accommodates said group of tiles in each compartment having
A step of housing said group of tiles to the tile alignment plate as a step of attracts the group of tiles sucker through the through hole of the tile alignment plate, of the first group by lifting the suction plate a step of lifting the tile with the tile alignment plate, a step of bonding across the tile adjacent the material of the synthetic resin is pressed against the group of tiles to the transfer plate, and curing the material of the synthetic resin characterized removing and said transfer plate and the tile alignment plate from the group of tiles, in that it consists of. A group of tiles arranged and arranged in an upward tile alignment plate is sucked by a suction cup and lifted together with the tile alignment plate, so that the relative position of the group of tiles is regulated by the tile alignment plate.
Therefore, the gap between the joints does not shift during the transportation of the group of tiles , and the tile alignment plate is also covered in the step of curing the synthetic resin material. Tiles can be combined. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an outline of an embodiment of the present invention described in claim 2, and in FIG.
The tiles are upwardly divided into a number of sections, and tiles a are accommodated in each section in an upward direction, and as shown in FIGS. 2. A downwardly facing tile alignment plate 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention according to claim 1, wherein two through holes 6 are formed for each, and are placed in alignment with the upwardly facing tile alignment plate 2,
The material is transferred from the placement position A to the suction position B by the conveyor 1. At the suction position B, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a suction cup 7 composed of a box 8 having a large number of suction elements 9 arranged on the lower surface thereof aligned with the through holes 6 of the tile arrangement plate 4 facing downward,
The adsorber 9 is pressed onto the upper surface of the tile a through the through hole 6 of the tile arrangement plate 4 facing downward, and a suction pipe 10 protruding from the upper surface of the box 8 is connected to a negative pressure source (not shown) via a switching valve. When the inside of the box 8 becomes negative pressure, each tile a is adsorbed by the two adsorbers 9, as shown in FIG. 5, together with the downward tile alignment plate 4 and the upward tile alignment plate 2. And lifted up by the suction cup 7. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a flat plate, in which a through hole 12 is formed in the same arrangement as a bridge piece for connecting adjacent tiles a, and a wall plate 13 provided on both sides of the flat plate 11. By driving the piston rod 15 of an air cylinder (not shown), the frame body 14 slides, and the synthetic resin material b contained therein is filled in the through-hole 12, and FIG.
As shown by a dashed line in FIG. 2, the toner is applied to the upper surface of the transfer plate 16 which is conveyed to the lower surface of the flat plate 11 and pressed by an air cylinder not shown. Transfer plate 16 coated with synthetic resin material b
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, the first group which is once lowered by the driving of the air cylinder and separated from the lower surface of the flat plate 11 is conveyed to the conveyor 17 and conveyed by the suction cup 7 together with the tile arrangement plate 4 facing downward. Is placed on the transfer plate 16 and the material b of the synthetic resin is bonded between the adjacent tiles a so as to straddle each other. Then, the suction pipe 10 of the suction cup 7 is connected to the atmosphere, and Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the suction cup 7 is lifted while the group of tiles a is left on the transfer plate 16 together with the tile arrangement plate 4 facing upward, and returns to the original position. As shown in FIG. 8, a group of tiles a, which are aligned by the downward tile alignment plate 4 and are attached so that a synthetic resin material b is straddled on adjacent tiles a,
By passing through a curing device 18 such as a heating device by the conveyer 17, the material b of the synthetic resin is cured and becomes a bridge piece c to connect a group of tiles a. The connected group of tiles a is the transfer plate 16
And the tile arrangement plate 4 facing downward is removed to form a unit. The downward tile alignment plate 4 according to the first aspect of the present invention may be made of synthetic resin or metal, but is preferably coated with silicon or Teflon so as to be easily separated from the bridge piece c. .
