Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a formwork pallet, and more particularly to a formwork pallet for a tile unit made up of a plurality of tile materials, which is used in a panel body factory or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] As shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-238533 (Patent Document 1), it has been common to produce building panels such as exterior wall panels in factories. Also, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2020-135589 (Patent Document 2), a technique has been proposed for determining the arrangement pattern of the crosspieces that make up an exterior wall panel based on basic information and design constraints of the exterior wall panel.

[0003] In addition, tiles (tile materials) may be used as finishing materials for the panel body, and Patent Publication No. 2005-275983 (Patent Document 3) and Patent Publication No. 2020-149465 (Patent Document 4) disclose a tile allocation method for calculating tile allocation for the surface of an exterior wall to be tiled. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-238533 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-135589 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-275983 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-149465 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When tiles are used as finishing materials for panel bodies such as exterior wall panels, the tiles are generally attached manually on-site. Although technology for producing exterior wall panels in factories, such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1, has existed for some time, the production system disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not use tiles as finishing materials for exterior wall panels, and therefore such a system cannot be applied as is to a system for automatically attaching multiple tiles to panel components to manufacture panel bodies.

[0006] Furthermore, in Patent Document 2, the placement pattern of the crosspiece material is determined on an exterior wall panel basis (without taking into consideration the placement pattern of other exterior wall panels, etc.), and this determination method cannot be used to determine the placement pattern of tile material.

[0007] Furthermore, although Patent Documents 3 and 4 mentioned above propose a method for calculating tile allocation when tiles are used as finishing materials for exterior wall panels, they do not take into consideration linkage with the production line.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a formwork pallet that can be suitably used in a factory where a panel body is manufactured by attaching a plurality of tile materials to a panel member.

[0009] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a formwork pallet that can be suitably used in factories that manufacture panel bodies by attaching multiple tile materials to panel components. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] A formwork pallet according to one aspect of the present invention is a formwork pallet for a tile unit consisting of a plurality of tile materials, and comprises a pallet body for placing the plurality of tile materials, and a partition member provided on the pallet body and positioned between adjacent tile materials.

[0011] Preferably, the partition member is shaped so that the width at the upper end side is narrower than the width at the lower end side.

[0012] More preferably, the width of the lower end of the partition member is smaller than the joint width of the panel body to which the plurality of tile materials are attached.

[0013] The partition member is preferably made of an elastic material.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of holes are formed in the upper surface of the pallet body, and the partition member has an insertion portion that can be inserted into the holes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The formwork pallet of the present invention is suitably used in a factory where a panel body is manufactured by attaching a plurality of tile materials to a panel member. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like or corresponding parts are designated by like reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly.

[0018] In this embodiment, a system for producing exterior wall panels as building panel bodies will be described.

[0019] <Overall configuration of the exterior wall panel production system> FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of an exterior wall panel production system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0020] The exterior wall panel production system 1 is a system for automatically producing exterior wall panels (hereinafter referred to as "tile exterior wall panels") that use multiple tile materials such as brick as finishing materials in a factory, and mainly comprises a teaching data generation system 2 and an exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 installed in the factory.

[0021] (Example of tile exterior wall panel configuration and layout) 2A and 2B are diagrams showing an example of the configuration of a tile exterior wall panel P, in which (A) is an exploded view of the tile exterior wall panel P and (B) is a front view of the tile exterior wall panel P. FIG.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 2(A), a tile exterior wall panel (hereinafter referred to as "exterior wall panel") P comprises a panel member 110 including a frame member 101, such as a steel frame, and a ceramic base material (hereinafter referred to as "siding") 105, and a finishing material 120 made of a large number of tile materials BT attached to the panel member 110. Each tile material BT is a plate-shaped member, and may be formed, for example, by cutting brick BR ​​to a predetermined thickness. As shown in FIG. 2(B), a large number of tile materials BT are laid all over the surface of the panel member 110.

[0023] 2(B) shows an example in which the shape of the tile material BT when viewed from the front is rectangular, but the shape of the tile material BT may be round (for example, oval) or polygonal (for example, hexagonal), etc. Furthermore, the thickness of the tile material BT does not have to be constant.

[0024] The exterior wall of a house is formed by connecting multiple exterior wall panels P at least horizontally. Figure 5(A) shows a plan view of the first floor of a house 9, and each exterior wall panel P that makes up the exterior wall of the house 9 is assigned a symbol W1..., S1..., E1..., N1... according to its direction.

[0025] (Outline of exterior wall panel manufacturing equipment) 1 again, the exterior wall panel manufacturing apparatus 3 is an apparatus that manufactures an exterior wall panel P in a factory by attaching a plurality of tile materials BT to a panel member 110, and includes a plurality of machines and equipment. Specifically, the exterior wall panel manufacturing apparatus 3 is equipped with a tile unit generating apparatus 30 that generates "tile units" by unitizing a plurality of tile materials, a tile unit supplying apparatus 40 that supplies the tile units generated by the tile unit generating apparatus 30 to a tiling station, and a tile applying apparatus 50 that applies the tile units supplied to the tiling station to the panel member 110. The apparatus also includes a control device 60 that controls these devices 30, 40, and 50.

[0026] (Outline of the teaching data generation system) The teaching data generation system 2 generates data (teaching data) necessary to operate the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3. As shown in Fig. 1, the teaching data generation system 2 includes a manufacturing condition information generation device 10 that generates "manufacturing condition information" for the exterior wall panel P based on basic design information for the building, and a tile pasting information generation device 20 that generates "tile pasting information" for each exterior wall panel P based on the manufacturing condition information generated by the manufacturing condition information generation device 10.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2(B), the panel members 110 of the exterior wall panel P are generally covered with tile materials BT of the same shape and width, but preferably arranged in a staggered pattern to prevent continuous vertical joints. Therefore, tile materials BT with different widths are alternately used in the vertical direction at the widthwise ends of each exterior wall panel P. Furthermore, for exterior wall panels P placed at corners (external or internal corners) of a building, L-shaped tile materials BT or sized-adjusted tile materials BT are preferably used at the corner ends of the exterior wall panel P to prevent the joints between panels from being noticeable. For these reasons, the type of tile material BT used at the ends of the exterior wall panel P must be determined depending on the location where the exterior wall panel P is placed, the presence or absence of an opening 130, and its installation position. Dimensionally adjusted tile materials BT are also used at both ends of the opening.

[0028] Therefore, the manufacturing condition information generating device 10 identifies the end conditions of each exterior wall panel P by detecting the "panel installation information" described below from the basic design information for each exterior wall panel P, and determines the type of tile material BT to be used at the end (at least the starting point position) of the exterior wall panel P according to the identified end conditions. Then, manufacturing condition information including the determined type of tile material BT (information on the end tile type) is generated for each exterior wall panel P, and output (transmit) it to the tile pasting information generating device 20.

[0029] The tile pasting information generating device 20 acquires (inputs) manufacturing condition information, and determines the arrangement pattern of the tile material BT for each exterior wall panel P based on the acquired manufacturing condition information and "tile size information" that specifies the width dimension and shape of each type of tile material BT. Then, it generates "tile pasting information" including the determined arrangement pattern for each exterior wall panel P, and outputs (transmits) it to an exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 installed in the factory. The tile pasting information is a type of "teaching data," and is transmitted to the control device 60 via a network such as the Internet.

[0030] As a result, under the control of the control device 60, the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 can attach multiple types of tile materials BT to the panel component 110 based on a preset arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT for each exterior wall panel P. Therefore, according to the exterior wall panel production system 1 of this embodiment, the tile materials BT can be attached to the panel component 110 automatically and appropriately without the need for manual teaching work. As a result, the production line for the exterior wall panel P can be fully automated.

[0031] The manufacturing condition information generating device 10 and the tile pasting information generating device 20 are configured by an information processing device such as a general-purpose computer. Although these devices 10 and 20 are shown as separate devices in terms of functionality, they may also be realized by a common information processing device.

[0032] The manufacturing condition information generating device 10, the tile pasting information generating device 20, and the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0033] <Manufacturing condition information generation device> (About the composition) FIG. 3A is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration and the functional configuration of the manufacturing condition information generating device 10. As shown in FIG.

[0034] The manufacturing condition information generating device 10 includes, as its hardware configuration, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 that executes various arithmetic processes, a memory unit 12 that stores various data and programs, an operation unit 13 that accepts instructions from a user, a display unit 14 that displays various information, and a communication I / F (interface) 15 that communicates with other information processing devices via a network. The memory unit 12 includes a volatile memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a non-volatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory). The operation unit 13 includes, for example, a keyboard or a mouse. The display unit 14 includes, for example, a display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display).

[0035] The manufacturing condition information generating device 10 includes, as its functional components, a detecting section 161, a condition determining section 162, a type determining section 163, a generating section 164, and an output processing section 165.

[0036] The detection unit 161 extracts information about the exterior wall panels P that make up the exterior walls from the "basic design information" of the building input via the communication I / F 15, for example, and, based on the extracted information, detects the panel construction information necessary for constructing the exterior wall panels P. Here, "detection" includes both the meaning of determining the necessary information by calculation based on the information extracted from the basic design information, and the meaning of identifying the information extracted from the basic design information as is (without calculation).

[0037] The "panel construction information" includes "position information" that indicates the placement position of the exterior wall panel P, and "shape information" that indicates the size and opening range of the exterior wall panel P. When the input basic design information is design data of a three-dimensional model such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) data, the detection unit 161 has a function to extract and identify the "position information" defined in the design data as is, and a function to convert the numerical value that is the basis of the "shape information" defined in the design data (for example, the numerical value that indicates the opening range) into a numerical value used in the construction drawing.

[0038] The condition determination unit 162 determines the edge condition of each exterior wall panel P based on the panel installation information (mainly position information) detected by the detection unit 161. Specifically, the edge condition is determined to be either a straight line section, an inside corner section, or an outside corner section, and the interface conditions with adjacent panels are calculated based on the determination result and the above-mentioned position information. The interface conditions include the "win / lose" with the adjacent panel and the degree of this. Note that the condition determination unit 162 may determine the conditions not only for both widthwise ends but also for both vertically opposite ends.

[0039] The type determination unit 163 determines, as an "end tile type," the type of tile material BT to be used at least at the start point position for each exterior wall panel P, based on the end point condition determined by the condition determination unit 162. The start point position will be described later.

[0040] The generation unit 164 generates manufacturing condition information for each exterior wall panel P. Specifically, the generation unit 164 generates the manufacturing condition information by integrating multiple items of condition data, including i) at least a portion of the panel installation information detected by the detection unit 161, ii) the end condition determined by the condition determination unit 162, and iii) the end tile type determined by the type determination unit 163.

[0041] FIG. 6B lists the items (ID symbols) of condition data included in the manufacturing condition information. In this embodiment, the ID symbols used are: Wid: exterior wall panel position (orientation and number); Ws: edge condition on the starting point; XP: panel width; We: edge condition on the ending point; Wu: upper side condition; H: panel height; Wd: lower side condition; Ow: opening width; Oh: opening height; Osx: x-coordinate of opening start point; Osy: y-coordinate of opening start point; and Bs: type of tile material BT (end tile type) used at the starting point. An ID code is generated from the ID symbols and their corresponding code information. The code information includes at least one of numeric values, symbols (e.g., +, -), and letters (e.g., alphabets). The items included in the manufacturing condition information are not limited to those listed in FIG. 6B and may include other items.

[0042] The generation unit 164 generates manufacturing condition information by integrating the ID codes for each exterior wall panel P. In this way, the manufacturing condition information is, more specifically, information consisting of an identifier of the exterior wall panel P and multiple condition data indicated by multiple ID codes. Such manufacturing condition information is used in the tile installation information generation device 20, as will be described later.

[0043] The output processing unit 165 executes a process of outputting the manufacturing condition information for each exterior wall panel P generated by the generation unit 164. Specifically, the output processing unit 165 executes a process of transmitting the manufacturing condition information for each exterior wall panel P to the tile installation information generation device 20 via the communication I / F 15 or the like. Alternatively, the output processing unit 165 may execute a process of writing the manufacturing condition information for each exterior wall panel P to a removable recording medium (not shown). Alternatively, the output processing unit 165 may execute a process of recording the manufacturing condition information for each exterior wall panel P in the manufacturing condition storage unit 18 and outputting the information in response to a request from the tile installation information generation device 20. The manufacturing condition storage unit 18 may be realized by a non-volatile storage device (not shown) such as a hard disk, or may be realized by a cloud server.

[0044] The functions of the above-described detection unit 161, condition determination unit 162, type determination unit 163, generation unit 164, and output processing unit 165 are realized by the execution of software by the CPU 11. Note that at least one of these functional units may be realized by hardware.

[0045] (About operation) 4 is a flowchart showing the manufacturing condition information generation process according to the present embodiment. The process shown in FIG. 4 is realized by the CPU 11 of the manufacturing condition information generation device 10 reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 12, for example.

[0046] First, the manufacturing condition information generating device 10 inputs, for example, BIM basic design data via the communication I / F 15 (step S2). The BIM basic design data is design data for the entire building created using BIM, a 3D, real-time, dynamic modeling software. It includes the building shape, spatial relationships, geographic information, and the quantity and characteristics of building components. While the present embodiment assumes that basic design information created using BIM is input, this is not limiting. The input basic design information may be, for example, design data created using other types of 3D building design software, or design data read from scanned data of the building. It is also possible to scan 2D drawing data and paper-based drawings to read only the necessary information.

[0047] When the basic design data is input, the detection unit 161 detects information about the exterior wall panels P that constitute the exterior walls of the building from the input basic design data. Specifically, the detection unit 161 identifies the module (basic dimensional unit of the building) of each exterior wall panel P (step S4), and detects position information and shape information for each exterior wall panel P (steps S6 and S8).

[0048] "Location information" includes floor information such as the first floor, second floor, etc., orientation information indicating whether it is east, west, north, or south, information indicating which part of the building it is located in (hereinafter referred to as "attribute information"), etc. The symbols shown in Figure 5(A) represent the location information ("Wid" code information) of each exterior wall panel P, with orientation information represented by the letters N, W, S, and E, and attribute information represented by numbers (numbers).

[0049] The numbers representing the attribute information are numbered for each direction in a counterclockwise or clockwise order, starting from a corner (protruding corner) on the front side of the building, as shown by arrow A1 in Figure 5(B). In other words, the detection unit 161 identifies the placement position of each exterior wall panel P along a predetermined numbering direction starting from the corner on the front side of the building, and detects the identified placement position as "position information." The protruding corner that serves as the starting point is one end of the front exterior wall (for example, the northwest corner), and the numbering direction is set so that the numbering starts from the exterior wall panel P on the front side.

[0050] In this embodiment, as an example, the numbering direction is counterclockwise, and numbers are assigned from left to right on each side of the building. Therefore, the left side of each exterior wall panel P is called the starting point side, and the right side is called the end point side. The numbering direction indicated by arrow A1 determines the order in which the edge condition described below is determined.

[0051] When the above-mentioned position information is defined in the basic design data, such as BIM data, the detection unit 161 simply extracts (specifies) the position information directly from the basic design data in step S6.

[0052] The "shape information" includes the panel width ("XP" code), panel height ("H" code), and opening range. The opening range is specified by the scale of the opening ("Ow" and "Oh" code), the coordinate position of the opening ("Osx" and "Osy" code), and so on. Figure 6(A) shows a schematic representation of the width XP and height H of the exterior wall panel P, the width Ow and height Oh of the opening, and the X-coordinate Osx and Y-coordinate Osy of a specific point (bottom left) of the opening. When detecting shape information based on BIM basic design data, in step S8, the detection unit 161 calculates values ​​taking into account the dimensional information of the window mounting frame (sash), etc.

[0053] Next, the condition determination unit 162 determines (calculates) the end condition for each exterior wall panel P based on the position information detected in step S6 and the shape information detected in step S8 (step S10). Specifically, first, it is determined whether both end portions (starting point side end portion and ending point side end portion) of each exterior wall panel P correspond to a straight line portion, an inside corner portion, or an outside corner portion as shown in Figure 7(A).

[0054] Next, the condition determination unit 162 calculates the matching conditions for both ends of the exterior wall panel P according to the predetermined order indicated by the position information detected in step S6, i.e., according to the numbering direction indicated by arrow A1 in Figure 5(B). The "matching conditions" include the "win / lose" and the degree of "win / lose" with adjacent panels. For example, as shown in Figure 7(B), if the start-side end of a certain exterior wall panel Pa is a straight section, there is no "win / lose" with another adjacent exterior wall panel Pb, so the matching condition is determined to be "0" (no + or -).

[0055] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7(C), when the starting end of a certain exterior wall panel Pa is an outside corner, there are two conditions: a "win" condition (pattern on the left side of the drawing) in which the panel overlaps the reference line of the other exterior wall panel Pc that intersects with it, and a "lose" condition (pattern on the right side of the drawing) in which the panel does not overlap the reference line of the other exterior wall panel Pc. The same is true for an inside corner, as shown in FIG. 7(D). In these figures, a "win" condition is represented by a "+" and a "lose" condition is represented by a "-". Because the degree of win or lose varies in both the "win" and "lose" conditions, the condition determining unit 162 calculates the win / lose degree as a numerical value (mm). The condition determining unit 162 calculates the conditions so that the exterior wall panel P that is located on the front side meets the "win" condition.

[0056] Once the end condition (at least the code information of "Ws" and "We") of each exterior wall panel P has been determined by the above-described process, the type determination unit 163 determines the type of tile material BT used at the start position of the start-side end as the end tile type (step S12). The start position is typically the lower end position of the start-side end. The end position is the lower end position of the end-side end.

[0057] 8(A) is a diagram showing examples of types of tile material BT. If there are multiple types of tile materials BTa, BTb, BTc, BTd, etc. with different dimensions or shapes, information about these is stored as "tile size information" in the storage unit 12 or a non-volatile storage device (not shown). Note that the "tile size information" is information that indicates the width dimension and shape (width dimension or shape) for each type of tile material.

[0058] As shown in the figure, both tile materials BTa and BTb are L-shaped, and both tile materials BTc and BTd are linear (I-shaped). For example, linear tile material BTc may be the basic type. L-shaped tile material BTa may have the same width as tile material BTc. Although not shown, other types of tile material BT may include round or polygonal tile materials.

[0059] FIG. 8(B) is a correspondence table that defines the type of tile material BT that can be used at the starting position for each end condition (specifically, the connection condition) of the exterior wall panel P. In this example, if the starting end of the exterior wall panel P is a "win" condition, it is determined that one of the L-shaped tile material and the tile material of a shape other than L will be selected depending on the degree of the win condition (positive width) and the connection condition of the end end. If the starting end of the exterior wall panel P is a "lose" condition, it is determined that one of the tile materials of a shape other than L will be selected depending on the degree of the lose condition (negative width) and the connection condition of the end end. If the connection condition of the starting end of the exterior wall panel P is "0", it is determined that one of the tile materials of a shape other than L will be selected.

[0060] The type determination unit 163 determines the type of tile material BT (the "Bs" code information) to be used at the starting point for each exterior wall panel P by referring to the tile size information and the correspondence table. The selection of the end tile type is also performed according to a predetermined determination order, that is, according to the numbering direction indicated by arrow A1 in FIG. 5(B). This prevents problems such as adjacent tile materials BT interfering with each other or gaps larger than the joints during construction on site.

[0061] When the processing by the type determination unit 163 is completed, the generation unit 164 integrates all the ID codes for each exterior wall panel P to generate "manufacturing condition information" (step S14). The output processing unit 165 outputs the integrated panel ID code, i.e., the "manufacturing condition information" (step S16). This completes the manufacturing condition information generation process in this embodiment.

[0062] Thus, according to this embodiment, the manufacturing condition information generating device 10 can generate the "manufacturing condition information" necessary for generating tile pasting information for the exterior wall panel P directly from the basic design information, thereby eliminating the process of generating design drawings by an architect.

[0063] <Tile Pasting Information Generator> (About the composition) FIG. 3B is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration and functional configuration of the tiling information generating device 20. As shown in FIG.

[0064] The hardware configuration of the tile pasting information generating device 20 may be similar to that of the manufacturing condition information generating device 10, and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21 that executes various calculation processes, a memory unit 22 that stores various data and programs, an operation unit 23 that accepts instructions from the user, a display unit 24 that displays various information, and a communication I / F (interface) 25 that communicates with other information processing devices via a network.

[0065] The tiling information generating device 20 includes, as functional components, an acquisition unit 261, a partition unit 262, a pattern determination unit 263, an order determination unit 264, a generation unit 265, and an output processing unit 266.

[0066] The acquiring unit 261 acquires the manufacturing condition information generated by the manufacturing condition information generating device 10 via the communication I / F 25 or the like. That is, it acquires condition data of multiple items that are ID-coded for each exterior wall panel, as shown in Fig. 5(B). Note that the manufacturing condition information acquired by the acquiring unit 261 is typically information generated by the manufacturing condition information generating device 10, but may also be information extracted from design drawing information created by a design drawing creating device (not shown) or the like.

[0067] The dividing unit 262 divides the exterior wall panel P (panel member 110) into a plurality of virtual regions based on the shape information indicating the panel width, panel height, and opening range from among the acquired manufacturing condition information. Examples of dividing the virtual regions will be described later.

[0068] The pattern determination unit 263 determines the arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT for each exterior wall panel P, preferably for each virtual area partitioned by the partitioning unit 262, based on the manufacturing condition information acquired by the acquisition unit 261 and the above-mentioned tile size information. In this case, the pattern determination unit 263 preferably determines the arrangement pattern of the tile materials by selecting one or more combination patterns from a plurality of predetermined combination patterns for each virtual area. Details of the combination patterns will be described later.

[0069] The order determination unit 264 determines the order in which the tile materials are to be applied to the multiple virtual areas based on the placement position information of the tiling device 50 (FIG. 1) on the production line.

[0070] The generation unit 265 generates tile pasting information for each exterior wall panel P. The tile pasting information corresponds to teaching data for the exterior wall panel manufacturing apparatus 3, and includes the arrangement pattern determined by the pattern determination unit 263 and the pasting order determined by the order determination unit 264.

[0071] The output processing unit 266 executes a process of outputting the tile pasting information for each exterior wall panel P generated by the generation unit 265. Specifically, the output processing unit 266 executes a process of transmitting the tile pasting information for each exterior wall panel P to the control device 60 of the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 via the communication I / F 25 or the like. Alternatively, the output processing unit 266 may execute a process of writing the tile pasting information for each exterior wall panel P to a removable recording medium (not shown). Alternatively, the output processing unit 266 may execute a process of recording the tile pasting information for each exterior wall panel P in the pasting information storage unit 28 and outputting it in response to a request from another device such as the control device 60. The pasting information storage unit 28 may be realized by, for example, a non-volatile storage device (not shown) such as a hard disk, or may be realized by a cloud server.

[0072] The functions of the above-described acquisition unit 261, partition unit 262, pattern determination unit 263, order determination unit 264, generation unit 265, and output processing unit 266 are realized by the execution of software by the CPU 21. Note that at least one of these functional units may be realized by hardware.

[0073] (About operation) 9 is a flowchart showing the tile pasting information generation process according to the present embodiment. The process shown in FIG. 9 is realized by the CPU 21 of the tile pasting information generation device 20 reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 22, for example.

[0074] First, the tiling information generating device 20 inputs the panel ID codes of all exterior wall panels P to be used in a building via the communication I / F 25 (step S2). As a result, the acquiring unit 261 acquires, for each exterior wall panel P, code information regarding Wid: exterior wall panel position (orientation and number), Ws: end condition on the starting point side, XP: panel width, We: end condition on the ending point side, Wu: upper side condition, H: panel height, Wd: lower side condition, Ow: opening width, Oh: opening height, Osx: x coordinate of opening start point, Osy: y coordinate of opening start point, and Bs: type of tile material BT to be used at the starting point (end tile type).

[0075] Next, based on the information representing shape information (XP: panel width, H: panel height, Ow: opening width, Oh: opening height, Osx: x coordinate of opening start point, Osy: y coordinate of opening start point) among the ID code information acquired by the acquisition unit 261, the division unit 262 executes a process of dividing each exterior wall panel P into a plurality of virtual regions (step S24). This process will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Note that in Fig. 10(A), the number of tile materials BT is shown reduced to avoid cluttering the drawing.

[0076] 10(A), the dividing unit 262 first divides the exterior wall panel P vertically (up and down) at the position of the opening 130, and then divides the remaining area according to a predetermined rule. Specifically, the dividing unit 262 divides the exterior wall panel P into sections based on the size that can be adsorbed (held) at one time by the tiling device 50 installed in the factory. More specifically, the dividing unit 262 calculates the area that can be adsorbed at one time by the tiling device 50, and then, based on the calculated area and the maximum size of the virtual area, divides the remaining area vertically.

[0077] Assuming that the maximum size of the virtual area is X columns by Y rows (when using the basic type of tile material BTc), as shown in FIG. 10(B), the remaining area of ​​the exterior wall panel P is vertically partitioned to a maximum of Y rows (where X and Y are natural numbers, and typically Y>X). In the example shown in FIG. 10(A), the exterior wall panel P is vertically divided into five areas, with four division lines B1 to B4 as boundaries. In each of the five areas, the panel's edge area and the opening lateral area adjacent to the opening are partitioned, and then the remaining area is horizontally partitioned to a maximum of X columns. FIG. 10(A) shows an arbitrary virtual area VA.

[0078] When the exterior wall panel P is divided into multiple virtual areas by the above-mentioned process, the dividing unit 262 temporarily stores the coordinate position data of each virtual area in its internal memory as "pasting position information." Note that the tile materials BT are arranged with a half-pitch offset so that the vertical joints are not continuous, so the ends of horizontally adjacent virtual areas overlap by half a pitch.

[0079] The pattern determination unit 263 determines the arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT for each virtual area partitioned as described above (step S26). At this time, it is desirable that the pattern determination unit 263 determine the arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT in the following order: the virtual areas at both ends of the exterior wall panel P (end areas), the virtual areas at both ends of the opening 130 (opening lateral areas), and the remaining area (central area). Since the ID code information acquired by the acquisition unit 261 includes the end tile type (Bs: type of tile material BT used at the start point), it is possible to determine the arrangement pattern of the end area on the start point side based on the end tile type of the target exterior wall panel P, and to determine the arrangement pattern of the end area on the end point side based on the end tile type of the exterior wall panel P with the next number after the target exterior wall panel P.

[0080] Here, as described above, the pattern determination unit 263 in this embodiment determines the arrangement pattern of the tile material BT by selecting one or more combination patterns from among multiple combination patterns for each virtual area. Specific examples of multiple combination patterns are shown in Figure 11(A).

[0081] The multiple combination patterns shown in Figure 11(A) are pre-patterned ways of combining tile materials BT (BTa, BTb, BTc, BTd, ...) of different types (dimensions or shapes), and each combination pattern is formed by combining one or more tile materials from the multiple types of tile materials BT.

[0082] The multiple combination patterns include a pattern in which the same tile type is used in all rows, a pattern in which different tile types are used in every other row, and a pattern in which three or more types of tile material BT are arranged randomly. There is also a pattern in which tile material BT is placed only in odd or even rows (joint straddling pattern). Note that while combinations for five rows are shown here, similar patterns can be formed depending on the number of rows in the virtual area.

[0083] The pattern determination unit 263 selects one or more combination patterns from the multiple combination patterns described above according to the size of each virtual area. At this time, the pattern determination unit 263 performs the selection process so as to reduce (preferably minimize) the number of combination patterns in each virtual area. This makes it possible to efficiently determine the arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT for each virtual area. A group of multiple (patterned) tile materials BT for each virtual area is called a "tile unit." Note that the combination patterns for the edge area and / or the opening side area may be predetermined.

[0084] The pattern determination unit 263 temporarily stores in its internal memory tile pattern information indicating the arrangement pattern of multiple tile materials BT according to the combination pattern selected for each virtual area, in association with an identifier unique to each virtual area. The "tile pattern information" includes the type, number, and arrangement of the tile materials BT.

[0085] Next, the order determination unit 264 determines the order in which tile units will be pasted to multiple virtual areas based on the placement position information of the tiling device 50 (FIG. 1) on the production line (step S28). In other words, the order in which virtual areas will be worked is determined so that the tiling device 50 can efficiently (in the shortest time) perform the work of pasting tiles to all virtual areas. Figure 11(B) schematically shows an example in which numbers indicating the work order are assigned to some virtual areas.

[0086] As will be described later, a plurality of tiling devices 50 are installed in a tiling station in a factory in this embodiment, and these tiling devices 50 operate simultaneously to perform the work of tiling one exterior wall panel P. Therefore, the order determination unit 264 in this embodiment assigns a number indicating the order of placement to each virtual area based on such placement position information.

[0087] Typically, two tiling devices 50 are arranged facing each other with a panel mounting table (panel transport section 300 shown in FIG. 12) in between. For example, one tiling device 50 (50a) is arranged at the lower end side of the exterior wall panel P placed on the panel mounting table, and the other tiling device 50 (50b) is arranged at the upper end side of the exterior wall panel P placed on the panel mounting table. In this case, for example, after provisionally determining the virtual areas to be worked on by each tiling device based on a reference line passing through the approximate center of the exterior wall panel P, the work areas may be adjusted so that the number of virtual areas to be worked on is approximately the same, and a number may be assigned to each work area.

[0088] The order determination unit 264 temporarily stores in its internal memory order information indicating the determined order of pasting in association with an identifier unique to each virtual area. The order information includes identification information for identifying the tiling device 50 that will perform the work and the work order.

[0089] Once the arrangement pattern and pasting order for each virtual area have been determined by the above-described processing, the generation unit 265 generates "tile pasting information" (step S30). That is, the information (paste position information, tile pattern information, and order information) temporarily stored in the internal memory by the processing of steps S24, S26, and S28 is integrated for each virtual area to generate tile pasting information. The output processing unit 266 outputs the tile pasting information generated by the generation unit 265 (step S32). This completes the tile pasting information generation processing in this embodiment.

[0090] In this way, the tile pasting information generating device 20 of this embodiment can generate "tile pasting information" suitable for the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3 installed in a factory. Therefore, by using this tile pasting information as teaching data for the exterior wall panel manufacturing device 3, it becomes possible to automatically and efficiently paste the tile material BT onto the panel component 110.

[0091] <Exterior wall panel manufacturing equipment> (Outline of the exterior wall panel production line) 12 is a diagram showing an overview of a production line for exterior wall panels P in a factory. The production line includes a panel component production line that produces panel components 110 for the exterior wall panels P along a centrally located panel conveyor (belt conveyor, etc.) 300, and a tile application line that applies tile material BT, which becomes the finishing material 120, to the panel components 110. The panel component production line is made up of, for example, stations ST101 and ST102 that process the basic components of the panel components 110, and an assembly station ST103 on the panel conveyor 300.

[0092] The tiling line is mainly composed of a pattern generating station ST1 and a tiling station ST2. A tile unit generating device 30 and a tile unit supplying device 40 are arranged in the pattern generating station ST1. A tiling device 50 serving as a tile applying robot is arranged in the tiling station ST2. The tiling station ST2 is provided at a position including the downstream area of ​​the panel transport section 300 (the downstream area of ​​the assembly station).

[0093] In the tiling station ST2, tile pasting devices 50a and 50b are arranged on both sides of the panel transport section 300. Therefore, in this embodiment, two pattern generation stations ST are provided, and in the pattern generation station ST1a, an arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT to be pasted by one tile pasting device 50a is generated, and in the other pattern generation station ST1b, an arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT to be pasted by the tile pasting device 50b is generated.

[0094] (Schematic configuration of the pattern generation station) FIG. 13A is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the pattern generating station ST1 (ST1a or ST1b).

[0095] The pattern generation station ST1 is provided with a tile supply line 61 having supply lanes for each type of tile material BT, and a unit transport section 62 is provided downstream of the tile supply line 61. The tile unit generation device 30 is installed upstream of the unit transport section 62, and the tile unit supply device 40 is installed downstream of the unit transport section 62.

[0096] At least a portion of the tile placement information (tile pattern information and order information) generated by the tile placement information generation device 20 is input in advance as teaching data into the control device of the tile unit generation device 30. Alternatively, the teaching data may be received from the tile placement information generation device 20 while the production line is operating. The tile unit generation device 30 generates tile units by arranging multiple tile materials BT for each virtual area according to the input or received tile placement information. In other words, the tile units are generated in a predetermined placement order and according to a predetermined arrangement pattern. The tile unit generation device 30 is configured, for example, by a known picking robot such as a delta-type picking robot.

[0097] The tile unit supply device 40 receives the tile units generated by the tile unit generation device 30 and supplies the tile units in the order in which they were received to a pick-up position 64 (see FIG. 12) of the tile pasting device 50. In other words, the tile units are sequentially supplied to the pick-up position 64 in accordance with a predetermined pasting order (order information).

[0098] The tile unit supply device 40 includes, for example, a transport control section (not shown) that operates the unit transport section 62, a mounting table 41 on which the tile units TU transported by the unit transport section 62 are placed one by one, and a standby mechanism 42 that enables the tile units TU placed on the mounting table 41 to wait and be supplied to the pickup position 64. The standby mechanism 42 includes, for example, an elevator that raises and lowers the mounting table 41.

[0099] 13(B) shows a specific example of a tile unit TU. In this embodiment, a formwork pallet 70 is used to place the tile units TU generated by the tile unit generating device 30 as they are on the mounting table 41 of the tile unit supplying device 40 and supply them as they are to the tile pasting device 50. The formwork pallet 70 may be determined depending on the type of tile pattern. The formwork pallet 70 will be described later.

[0100] (Tile unit generation method in pattern generation station) 14 is a flowchart showing the tile unit generation process in the pattern generation station ST. This process is executed by the tile unit generation device 30, the tile unit supply device 40, and devices (or workers) linked to these devices 30, 40, under the control of, for example, a control device 60. Note that the control device 60 is typically configured by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

[0101] Referring to Fig. 14, the tile unit generating device 30 receives tile application information for an exterior wall panel P to be manufactured (hereinafter referred to as the "target panel") (step S42). The pattern generating station ST has a pallet supply line (not shown), to which multiple types of pallets 70 are supplied (step S44). Based on the tile application information for the target panel, a pallet 70 to be used is determined from the multiple types of pallets 70 (step S46). The determined pallet 70 is placed on the upstream portion of the unit transport section 62.

[0102] Furthermore, the tile unit generating device 30 first reads the information on the tile pattern that is first in the pasting order, identifies the type of tile material BT from the tile pattern information, and transmits the identified type and number of tile material BT to the tile supply line 61. As a result, the tile material BT of the specified type is supplied to the tile supply line 61 (step S48), and the tile material BT is placed on the supply lane by type (step S50). Note that the supply of the tile material BT may also be performed manually by an operator.

[0103] When the tile unit generating device 30 confirms that all tile materials BT have been supplied (YES in step S52), it picks the tile materials BT on the supply lanes, for example, one by one (step S54), and arranges the picked tile materials BT on the pallet 70 placed on the unit transport section 62 (step S56). In this way, the tile unit generating device 30 picks up multiple types of tile materials BT that make up the tile unit TU from the supply lanes provided for each type of tile material BT, and arranges the multiple types of tile materials BT on the pallet 70 in an arrangement defined by the tile pattern information.

[0104] The picking and placement of the tile materials BT is repeated until placement of all the tile materials BT according to the tile pattern information is completed (NO in step S60).

[0105] It is desirable to check the placement of the tile material BT using detection means provided on the pallet supply line or the like each time a tile material BT is placed on the pallet 70 (step S58). This prevents incomplete tile units TU from being sent to the next process. The detection means may include a camera 63 as shown in Fig. 13, for example, and may detect whether or not the tile material BT has been placed based on an image captured by the camera 63, or may detect whether or not the tile material BT has been placed using a sensor such as an infrared sensor.

[0106] When all tile materials BT have been placed on the pallet 70, for example, when the first tile unit TU is complete (YES in step S60), the tile unit supply device 40 starts operating. After confirming the placement of the tile pattern according to the tile pattern information (step S62), the tile unit supply device 40 starts operating the belt conveyor serving as the unit transport section 62 and also starts operating the elevator that constitutes the standby mechanism 42 (steps S64, S66).

[0107] The tile unit supply device 40 uses the standby mechanism 42 to supply the first tile unit TU together with the pallet 70 to the pickup position 64. When the tile unit supply device 40 confirms that the tile applying device 50 has picked it up (step S68), it determines that the supply of the first tile unit TU is complete, and executes the supply process for the second and subsequent tile units TU (step S70).

[0108] (Schematic configuration of the tiling station) 12, as described above, a tile pasting device 50 is disposed in each tile pasting station ST2. The tile pasting device 50 includes a tile pasting robot 51 that picks up tile materials BT and places them on the panel component 110, and a moving member 52 that moves the tile pasting robot 51 along the conveying direction of the panel conveying section 300 (along the width direction of the panel component 110). This allows the tile pasting robot 51 to move back and forth along the panel conveying section 300 between a pick-up position 64 in the pattern generating station ST1 and a pasting work position in the tile pasting station ST2.

[0109] As shown schematically in Fig. 12, the tile pasting robot 51 has a hand unit 51h that holds a plurality of tile materials BT. The hand unit 51h in this embodiment is configured to hold a plurality of tile materials BT at once by suctioning the tile materials BT from above, and has a suction surface (not shown) that comes into contact with the plurality of tile materials BT. Note that the "tile pasting device 50" mentioned in this specification primarily refers to the tile pasting robot 51.

[0110] (Tile laying method at the tiling station) 12, the tiling robot 51 picks up the tile units TU supplied to the pick-up position 64 by the tile unit supply device 40, and attaches the picked-up tile units TU to a specified area (an area corresponding to a virtual area) on the panel member 110. As described above, because the tile unit supply device 40 supplies the tile units TU to the pick-up position 64 in accordance with a predetermined attachment order, the tiling device 50 can also pick up the tile units TU and attach them to the panel member 110 in accordance with the predetermined attachment order.

[0111] At least a portion of the tile pasting information (pasting position information) generated by the tile pasting information generation device 20 is input as teaching data into the control device of the tile pasting robot 51 in advance. Alternatively, the tile pasting information may be received from the tile pasting information generation device 20 while the production line is in operation. Therefore, the tile pasting robot 51 can appropriately place tile units TU, each made of a plurality of tile materials BT that have been patterned in advance, in each virtual area that has been calculated in advance, in accordance with the input or received tile pasting information.

[0112] It is assumed that before the tiling work starts at the tiling station ST2, adhesive is applied to the surface of the panel member 110. The position where the adhesive is applied can be calculated according to the arrangement pattern of the tile materials BT.

[0113] When the tile pasting robot 51 finishes pasting the tile material BT, the exterior wall panel P is completed. By using the exterior wall panel P manufactured in this way on the exterior wall of a building, the work of pasting the tile material BT on-site can be eliminated (only some parts such as joints can be pasted manually). Therefore, the exterior wall panel production system 1 according to this embodiment can simplify the construction of the exterior wall on-site, thereby reducing labor costs and shortening the construction period.

[0114] Furthermore, when (sliced) bricks are used as the material for the BT tiles, it gives the impression that the exterior wall is made of actual bricks stacked together, which improves the design of the building without increasing labor costs.

[0115] Incidentally, in order for the tile pasting robot 51 to pick up the tile units TU generated by the tile unit generating device 30 in their original state, it is desirable that the pallet 70 used as a stand for the tile units TU have an anti-slip function. For example, although the surface (top surface) of the pallet 70 may be made of a material with a high coefficient of friction such as rubber, it is desirable that the pallet 70 be provided with a partition member to more reliably prevent the tile materials BT from shifting position. An example of the configuration of the pallet 70 in this case will be described below.

[0116] <Example of the configuration of a formwork pallet> FIG. 15(A) is a perspective view of the formwork pallet 70, and FIG. 15(B) is a cross-sectional view of the formwork pallet 70 taken along line IVB-IVB.

[0117] The formwork pallet 70 comprises a pallet body 71 on which a plurality of tile materials BT are placed, and partition members 72 that are provided on the pallet body 71 and arranged between adjacent tile materials BT. Although it is desirable to arrange the partition members 72 both between adjacent tile materials BT in the horizontal direction (the column direction shown in FIG. 10(C)) and between adjacent tile materials BT in the vertical direction (the row direction shown in FIG. 10(C)), they may be arranged in only one of them.

[0118] The (cross-sectional) shape of the partition member 72 is typically triangular, with the width at the top end narrower than the width at the bottom end. This makes it easy to arrange the tile material BT in the area partitioned by the two partition members 72 and to pick up the tile material BT by the tile pasting device 50. Note that when the tile pasting device 50 picks up the tile material BT by suction, it is desirable that the height dimension of the partition member 72 be equal to or less than the thickness dimension of the tile material BT.

[0119] The width Lp of the lower end of the partition member 72 is set smaller than the joint width Lc of the exterior wall panel P. Therefore, when tile materials BT of a predetermined width Lb are placed between the partition members 72, a gap is formed between the partition member 72 and the tile materials BT. This makes it possible to absorb individual differences in the tile materials BT.

[0120] The partition member 72 is preferably made of an elastic material with a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, which prevents the tile materials BT from shifting position when the formwork pallet 70 is moved or when the tile materials BT are picked up from the formwork pallet 70.

[0121] As shown in Figure 15(C), in consideration of the case where L-shaped tile materials BT to be placed in a protruding corner are placed at the end of the formwork pallet 70, the formwork pallet 70 may be provided with detachable side members 73 that come into contact with the bent portions of the L-shaped tile materials BT. Alternatively, as a type of formwork pallet 70 for protruding corners, a formwork pallet may be separately prepared that includes a pallet main body 71, side members 73, and connecting members 74 for integrally connecting the pallet main body 71 and side members 73. The material of the side members 73 may be the same as that of the partition members 72.

[0122] The shape of the partition member 72 is not limited to an isosceles triangle as shown in Fig. 15(B). For example, it may be a right triangle, or at least one side may be configured with an inclined surface 75a and a vertical surface 75b, as in the partition member 72A of Fig. 15(D). The vertical surface 75b is located below the inclined surface 75a and is disposed perpendicular to the pallet body 71.

[0123] 15(D), the tile material BT can be positioned with its end face pressed against the vertical surface 75b, improving stability. Furthermore, even when the end (the right end in the drawing) of the tile material BT is placed on the other inclined surface (side surface) 75c of the partition member 72A, by slightly tilting the formwork pallet 70 (pallet body 71), the tile material BT can be slid so that the opposite end (the left end in the drawing) of the tile material BT hits the vertical surface 75b, making it possible to position (correct) all of the tile materials BT on the formwork pallet 70 in their fixed positions.

[0124] If partition members 72A are provided not only between horizontally adjacent tile materials BT but also between vertically adjacent tile materials BT, the placement area of ​​each tile material BT is defined by four partition members 72A so as to be surrounded by two vertical surfaces 75b and two inclined surfaces 75c (there may be a gap between two intersecting partition members 72A). In this case, by tilting the formwork pallet 70 so that the corner where the two vertical surfaces 75b intersect is relatively low, the tile materials BT on the formwork pallet 70 can be aligned in the appropriate positions both horizontally and vertically at once.

[0125] Alternatively, at least one side surface of the partition member 72 may be configured as a curved surface, or the entire partition member 72 may be semicircular in shape.

[0126] As described above, the arrangement pattern (tile type, number, arrangement) of the tile materials BT placed on the formwork pallet 70 is not fixed, so it is desirable that the formwork pallet 70 be able to accommodate a plurality of arrangement patterns. An example of the configuration of such a formwork pallet 70A is shown in Figure 16.

[0127] Figure 16(A) is a top view of the pallet main body 71A, and Figure 16(B) is a perspective view of the partition member 72B. A large number of holes 76 are formed at regular intervals on the surface (top surface) of the pallet main body 71A, and the partition member 72B has a plurality of insertion portions 77 protruding downward from the lower end surface. The holes 76 are, for example, circular in shape, and in this case, the insertion portions 77 are cylindrical. Note that the diameters and spacing of the holes 76 are exaggerated in Figure 16(A). Similarly, the diameters of the insertion portions 77 are exaggerated in Figure 16(B).

[0128] As shown in Figure 16(C), by inserting the insertion portion 77 of the partition member 72B into the hole 76 of the pallet body 71A, it is possible to reproduce a form that can be applied to various arrangement patterns using the pallet body 71A of the same configuration. This will be explained with reference to Figure 17.

[0129] Figure 17(A) shows a grouping of the multiple combination patterns shown in Figure 11(A). When using formwork pallet 70A, by adjusting the position of partition members 72B, as shown in Figure 17(B), all combination patterns can be accommodated using, for example, five types of attachment patterns for partition members 72B.

[0130] In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the partition members 72 (72A, 72B) extending straight in a plan view are arranged at vertical joints or horizontal joints, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, a partition member that is L-shaped or T-shaped in a plan view may be arranged at the intersection of a vertical joint and a horizontal joint (not shown). In other words, the planar shape of the partition member is not limited to a straight line (I-shape), but may be L-shaped, T-shaped, or cross-shaped.

[0131] <Modification> In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the tile material BT attached to the exterior wall panel P is made of brick, but it may be made of other materials such as ceramic material or stone. In other words, the tile material BT is not limited to components generally called "tiles," and may be any material that functions as a "finishing material" that divides the decorative surface of a panel body such as the exterior wall panel P and that can form a pattern (decorative pattern) by combining multiple pieces.

[0132] In addition, in this embodiment, an example has been described in which tile material BT is used as the outer finishing material (exterior material) of the exterior wall panel P, but the above-mentioned exterior wall panel production system 1 can also be applied when tile material BT is used as the interior material.

[0133] Moreover, the exterior wall panel production system 1 of this embodiment can also be applied to other types of panel bodies, such as partition wall panels, floor panels, and ceiling panels.

[0134] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
