[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the conventional manufacturing of tile panels, when supplying a plurality of tiles to an alignment board, for example, in the case of a wide panel, a wide alignment board is needed to correspond to the panel. In this case, it is necessary to manually supply from both sides of the alignment board. In such work, a large work space must be secured, and the tiles must be arranged in two directions: in the column direction of the tiles and in the longitudinal direction of the alignment board within the alignment board frame.
When performing the work of changing the direction, some kind of physical approach was required, which was a hassle.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and it is possible to supply tiles from one side of the arranging board even on a wide arranging board, and at the same time supply tiles in one direction within the frame of the arranging board. The purpose is to provide a tile pasting device capable of gathering tiles.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the device for pasting tiles on a panel of the present invention includes an alignment board having a protruding portion for positioning the tiles, and a panel on which the tiles are pasted. a mounting means for placing the plurality of tiles on the alignment board; a suction and holding means for suctioning and holding the plurality of tiles on the alignment board; and a moving means for moving the plurality of tiles held by suction onto the panel. The tile pasting device is characterized in that the alignment board has a structure that allows the tile alignment surface to maintain at least two states: a horizontal state and a state inclined at a predetermined angle.

[0006]

[Function] By tilting the alignment board, it becomes possible to supply tiles from one side even on a wide alignment board, and the tiles on top of the board will inevitably be on the lower side of the slope, making it difficult to align the tiles. It saves you time and effort.
