Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a panel assembly method and a panel assembly device for assembling a panel module that is supported by a pillar and is constructed by assembling unit panels in multiple stages in the height direction of the pillar. [Background technology]

[0002] Panel modules used for large-scale video events, for example, are constructed by assembling unit panels in multiple layers supported by columns along the height of the columns. In a conventional method for installing such panel modules, the unit panels are stacked from bottom to top on a stage with a scaffolding framework. This requires assembly work at high altitudes.

[0003] As described above, conventional installation methods require working at height, which makes assembly and disassembly time-consuming, and there has been a demand for reducing this time.

[0004] In response to this, there is a conventional monitor suspension device that can shorten the work time and efficiently perform the installation and dismantling work of multiple monitors (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Here, the "monitor" in Patent Document 1 corresponds to the "panel."

[0005] The monitor suspension device according to Patent Document 1 includes a frame that supports suspension members for suspending multiple monitors, and a handle that serves as a control mechanism for raising and lowering the suspension members supported by the frame.

[0006] More specifically, the conventional monitor suspension device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a frame including a suspension member arranged horizontally for suspending multiple monitors, and a plurality of struts that intersect and connect to the suspension member and support the suspension member in an extendable and retractable manner. Furthermore, the conventional monitor suspension device also includes a control mechanism that raises and lowers the suspension member to adjust the height of the suspension member in multiple stages.

[0007] This configuration makes it possible to efficiently install and dismantle multiple monitors, for example, allowing for quick response to changes in weather and reducing damage to equipment. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-17735 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, the conventional technology has the following problems. Conventional monitor suspension devices are used as large monitors in, for example, large-scale outdoor concerts, stadiums, stages, etc. In such large monitors, the number of monitors connected in multiple stages in the vertical direction varies depending on the scale and purpose of the concert, stadium, stage, etc.

[0010] In order to accommodate the number of monitors connected in multiple stages in the height direction, conventional monitor suspension devices require the provision of multiple support columns that can be extended and retracted, and a control mechanism that can adjust the height of the suspension members in multiple stages, or the use of support columns and a control mechanism that can accommodate the maximum number of stages expected.

[0011] Therefore, in conventional monitor suspension devices, the more stages connected in the vertical direction, the more complex the structure of the support posts and control mechanism becomes, and the larger and more expensive the device becomes. Therefore, there has been a demand for a device that can flexibly accommodate various numbers of stages connected and is cheaper than conventional devices.

[0012] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a panel assembly method and panel assembly device that is cheaper than conventional methods and can flexibly accommodate the number of tiers connected in multiple stages in the vertical direction. [Means for solving the problem]

Our Nth inserted column The third step is to add The Nth inserted column was added. Later, N At the bottom of the row unit panel (N+1) The fourth step is to install the unit panels for each level. (N+1) With the unit panel of the next stage installed, the lifting and lowering frame is raised to be positioned on the fixed column. N A fifth step of raising the insert column and the upper column as a single column, and one or more of the insert columns between the single column raised in the fifth step and the fixed column. (N+1)th and a sixth step of further adding the insertion columns, until the installation of the desired number of unit panels is completed. After incrementing N by 1, The unit panel installation process in the fourth step, the lifting process in the fifth step, and the extension process in the sixth step are repeated.

[0014] The panel assembly device according to the present disclosure includes a fixed column, an upper column connected to the fixed column in the height direction and having a lifting device fixed thereto, one or more insert columns inserted between the fixed column and the upper column in the height direction, a lifting / lowering frame that can slide along the height direction, a cylinder for sliding the lifting / lowering frame, and a panel module configured by assembling unit panels in multiple stages in the height direction, with the uppermost panel being connected to the lifting device, the lifting / lowering frame being switchable between a connected state and a disconnected state with the upper column or the insert column, and by sliding the lifting / lowering frame with the cylinder when the column immediately above the fixed column and the lifting / lowering frame are in a connected state, one insert column can be added immediately above the fixed column, making it possible to connect an additional unit panel to the lower stage of the unit panel connected to the lifting device, and by sliding the lifting / lowering frame with the cylinder when the column two stages above the fixed column and the lifting / lowering frame are in a connected state, the insert column immediately above the fixed column can be removed. After that, the panel module connected to the lifting tool can be lowered, and with the panel module lowered, This allows the lower unit panel of the panel module to be removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the panel assembly method and panel assembly device of the present disclosure will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. The panel assembly method and panel assembly device disclosed herein have a technical feature in that, when assembling a panel module composed of multiple tiers of unit panels stacked in the height direction of the columns, the columns are divided into fixed columns, one or more insert columns, and upper column, and the number of insert columns can be flexibly changed depending on the number of tiers.

[0018] Embodiment 1 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a panel module assembled using a panel assembly method according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 1(a) shows the assembled panel module 40 as seen from the front, and Fig. 1(b) shows the assembled panel module 40 as seen from the side.

[0019] 1 illustrates an example in which a panel module 40 is configured by arranging a total of 66 panels 41 in an array of 11 panels horizontally and 6 panels vertically. In FIG. 1, the top row is the first row, and the bottom row is the sixth row, and the 11 panels that make up the nth row are shown as unit panels 41(n).

[0020] The arrangement of the panels 41 is not limited to that shown in Fig. 1, and they may be configured in multiple stages with one or more panels in the horizontal direction and two or more panels in the vertical direction. The unit panel 41(n) constituting each stage may also be configured with one or more panels 41.

[0021] The panel assembly device according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is configured to include a divided column 10, a lifting / lowering frame 20, a cylinder 30, and a panel module 40.

[0022] The split column 10 is divided in the height direction by a fixed column 11 located at the bottom, an upper column 12 located at the top, and one or more inserted columns 13. In Figure 1, five inserted columns 13 are inserted between the fixed column 11 and the upper column 12 and connected in the height direction, thereby forming the split column 10 as a single column.

[0023] A suspender 1 for fixing the first-tier unit panel 41(1) is attached to the upper column 12. Note that Fig. 1 illustrates a state in which one suspender 1 is attached to a pair of partition columns 10. However, the number of partition columns 10 is not limited to two, and can be one or three or more depending on the size of the panel module 40.

[0024] 1 also illustrates a state in which five insertion columns 13 are inserted between the fixed column 11 and the upper column 12. However, the number of insertion columns 13 is not limited to five, and an appropriate number can be adopted depending on the number of columns of panel modules 40, the size of each panel, the installation height of the panel modules 40, etc.

[0025] The ascent-and-descent frame 20 is configured to be slidable along the height direction of the split column 10, and slides by extension and contraction of the cylinder 30. Furthermore, the ascent-and-descent frame 20 is structured so that it can be switched between a connected state and a disconnected state with the column directly above the fixed column 11. For example, the ascent-and-descent frame 20 can be connected to the desired column by inserting a fixing pin, and can be disconnected from the desired column by pulling out the fixing pin.

[0026] When the cylinder 30 is at its retracted end position, the column directly above the fixed column 11 is connected to the ascent / descent frame 20, and then the cylinder 30 is pushed up in the height direction toward its extended end position, creating a space between the fixed column 11 and the column directly above for inserting the insert column 13. As a result, the height of the split column 10 can be increased by adding the insert column 13.

[0027] In other words, the cylinder 30 of the present disclosure only needs to have the stroke necessary to create space for adding one insert column, and by repeating the adding process to increase the number of insert columns, it is possible to form a taller split column 10. Therefore, the cylinder 30 does not need to use a complex mechanism that can adjust the height in multiple stages according to the number of panel tiers.

[0028] With the first-tier unit panel 41(1) attached to the hoisting device 1 and in a connected state, the cylinder 30 pushes up the column directly above in the vertical direction and adds the insertion column 13, allowing a worker to attach the second-tier unit panel 41(2) below the first-tier unit panel 41(1) while standing on the ground.

[0029] That is, in the connected state, the ascent-descent frame 20 can be pushed up from the initial position in the height direction to the elevated position, and the insertion column 13 can be added, thereby realizing the installation work of the second tier of unit panels 41(2) without working at height. Depending on the size of the panels 41, it may also be possible to perform installation work across multiple tiers.

[0030] With the immediately above pillar positioned on the inserted insertion pillar 13, the pillar immediately above and the lifting / lowering frame 20 are disconnected, and then the cylinder 30 is lowered from the lifted position in the height direction toward the retracted end position, thereby returning the lifting / lowering frame 20 to its initial position in the height direction.

[0031] In this way, by repeating the extension process of pushing up the column directly above in a connected state and inserting the insertion column 13, and the return process of returning the rising and falling frame 20 to its initial position in the height direction in a disconnected state, it is possible to assemble a panel module 40 consisting of multiple stages without working at height.

[0032] Furthermore, by sequentially removing the insertion columns 13 in the reverse order of assembly, the panel module 40 configured in multiple stages can be disassembled without working at height.

[0033] Specifically, during assembly, when the column directly above the fixed column 11 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 are connected, the cylinder 30 is used to slide the ascent-and-descent frame 20, thereby allowing one insertion column 13 to be added directly above the fixed column 11. By inserting the insertion column 13, the unit panel connected to the hoisting device 1 also rises, making it possible to add and connect further unit panels without working at height.

[0034] On the other hand, during dismantling, with the column two levels above the fixed column 11 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 connected, the insertion column 13 directly above the fixed column 11 can be removed by sliding the ascent-and-descent frame 20 with the cylinder 30. By removing the insertion column 13, the unit panel connected to the hoisting tool 1 can also be lowered, making it possible to remove the unit panel in the lower level of the panel module 40.

[0035] Next, a specific series of operations for sequentially assembling the first-tier unit panel 41(1) to the third-tier unit panel 41(3) will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 is a flowchart showing a series of processes in the panel assembling method according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] 3A to 3K are explanatory diagrams showing states of the panel assembly apparatus corresponding to steps S201 to S211 shown in FIG. 2 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. That is, the states of the panel assembly apparatus corresponding to steps S201 to S211 correspond to FIGS. 3A to 3K. In any step, a worker can perform each task while standing on base surface 100, without having to work at a height.

[0037] In step S201, a worker attaches the first unit panel 41(1) to the lifting device fixed to the upper column 12. Figure 3A shows the state corresponding to step S201, in which the upper column 12 is positioned directly above the fixed column 11, the cylinder 30 is at its initial position, which is the retracted end, and the ascent / descent frame 20 is also at its initial position.

[0038] Next, in step S202, the upper column 12 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 are fixed together using the fixing pin 21, and then the cylinder 30 is raised from the initial position to the raised position. Figure 3B shows the state corresponding to step S202, in which the cylinder 30 raises the ascent-and-descent frame 20, causing the upper column 12 and the hoisting tool 1 to rise with the first-stage unit panel 41(1) attached, and forming a space between the fixed column 11 and the upper column 12.

[0039] Next, in step S203, the worker inserts the insertion column 13 into the space formed between the fixed column 11 and the upper column 12. Figure 3C shows the state corresponding to step S203, in which the worker can easily insert the insertion column 13 into the space while standing on the base surface 100.

[0040] Next, in step S204, after inserting the insertion column 13, the worker removes the fixing pin that fixed the upper column 12 to the ascent-and-descent frame 20, thereby releasing the fixed state between the upper column 12 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20. Figure 3D shows the state corresponding to step S204, and the worker can easily add the insertion column 13 and release the fixed state between the upper column 12 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 while standing on the base surface 100.

[0041] Next, in step S205, the worker lowers the cylinder 30 after the upper column 12 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 are released from their fixed state. Figure 3E shows the state corresponding to step S205, in which the worker lowers the cylinder 30 and returns it to its initial position, thereby returning the ascent-and-descent frame 20 to its initial position.

[0042] Next, in step S206, the worker attaches the second-tier unit panel 41(2) below the first-tier unit panel 41(1) attached to the lifting tool 1. Figure 3F shows the state corresponding to step S206, in which the insertion column 13 is located directly above the fixed column 11, the cylinder 30 is at its initial position, which is the retracted end, and the ascent / descent frame 20 has returned to its initial position.

[0043] Next, in step S207, the insertion column 13 located directly above the fixed column 11 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 are fixed using the fixing pin 21, and then the cylinder 30 is raised from the initial position to the raised position. Figure 3G shows the state corresponding to step S207, in which the cylinder 30 raises the ascent-and-descent frame 20, and with the first-tier unit panel 41(1) and the second-tier unit panel 41(2) attached, the upper column 12, insertion column 13, and hoisting device 1 rise, and a space is formed between the fixed column 11 and insertion column 13.

[0044] That is, the inserted column 13 located directly above the fixed column 11 and the upper column 12 located two steps above the fixed column 11 rise as a single column. Furthermore, when the rising process is completed, a space is formed between the fixed column 11 and the inserted column 13.

[0045] Next, in step S208, the worker inserts a new insertion column 13 into the space formed between the fixed column 11 and the insertion column 13. Figure 3H shows the state corresponding to step S208, in which the worker can easily insert the new second insertion column 13 into the space while standing on the base surface 100.

[0046] Next, in step S209, the worker inserts a new insertion column 13, and then removes the fixing pin that fixed the first inserted insertion column 13 to the ascent-and-descent frame 20, thereby releasing the fixed state between the insertion column 13 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20. Figure 3I shows the state corresponding to step S209, and the worker can easily add a new insertion column 13 and release the fixed state between the first insertion column 13 and the ascent-and-descent frame 20 while standing on the base surface 100.

[0047] Next, in step S210, the worker lowers the cylinder 30 after the first insertion column 13 is released from the fixed state between the ascent-and-descent frame 20. Fig. 3J shows the state corresponding to step S210, in which the worker lowers the cylinder 30 and returns it to its initial position, thereby returning the ascent-and-descent frame 20 to its initial position.

[0048] Finally, in step S211, the worker attaches the third-tier unit panel 41(3) below the second-tier unit panel 41(2). Figure 3K shows the state corresponding to step S211, in which the two insertion columns 13 are positioned directly above the fixed columns 11, the cylinders 30 are at their retracted ends, or initial positions, and the ascent / descent frame 20 has returned to its initial position.

[0049] In this way, by repeating the addition process of pushing up the column directly above in the connected state and inserting the insertion column 13, and the return process of returning the ascent / descent frame 20 to its initial position in the height direction in the unconnected state, additional unit panels can be connected while standing on the base surface 100 without working at height, and the assembly work of the desired number of panel modules can be completed.

[0050] 2 and 3, as shown in Fig. 1, the use of diagonal members 2 can add a tip-over prevention function to the panel assembly device. By adopting a split structure for the diagonal members 2, similar to the split columns 10, workers can perform assembly work while standing on the base surface 100, lengthening the length of the diagonal members 2 as the inserted columns 13 are added to increase the height.

[0051] For example, if the ground at the installation location is sloping, or if the installation environment is subject to strong winds, etc., it is effective to use the diagonal member 2 to add a function to prevent the device from falling over.

[0052] Furthermore, the column structure consisting of the split column 10, the ascent / descent frame 20, and the cylinder 30 detailed in this embodiment 1 is not limited to use simply for assembly and disassembly work, but can also be used as a permanent support column.

[0053] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the columns are divided into segments, and the ascending / descending frame is raised to form spaces between the segments. Insert columns are then added to the spaces, and the desired number of unit panels are then attached one after the other while the insert columns are added. This allows a series of operations to be performed without working at height. As a result, a panel assembly method and panel assembly device can be realized that are less expensive than conventional methods and can flexibly accommodate multiple vertically connected segments.

[0054] Furthermore, by eliminating the need to work at height, the work time can be shortened, which in turn reduces the manufacturing costs of the device and the labor costs required for assembly and disassembly. [Explanation of symbols]
