Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a sheet shape made of paper, synthetic resin, or the like, in which a plurality of tiles are arranged in a set with the same arrangement and joint spacing as the state of being adhered to a construction surface. The present invention relates to a tile connecting device that is integrally connected by attaching the mounts, and more particularly to a connecting device that can surely align the tiles in the same state as the attached state.

Problems to be Solved by the Related Art and Invention As a tile connecting device as described above, a plurality of fired tiles are arranged in a different alignment state from the state where they are attached to the construction surface, and the belt conveyor is moved from the sagger to the low speed belt conveyor. While transferring and transporting the tiles to the tiles, the guide rails provided along the transport direction divide the tiles into rows so that a predetermined joint space is provided, and then the tiles are transferred to a high-speed belt conveyor composed of multiple belts. By doing so, the tiles in each row are conveyed with a large gap in the conveying direction, and at the aligned position, the tiles are sequentially hooked to the stoppers that rise from between the belts to form a predetermined joint gap in the conveying direction. The tiles are aligned in the same state as they are attached to the construction surface, and each tile is adsorbed by the suction cups formed on the bottom surface of the transfer device and transferred to the pasteboard attachment position while maintaining the aligned state. There is one that puts it and attaches a backing sheet, but the device that arranges tiles while conveying them with a belt conveyor in this way slides when transferring from a low speed belt conveyor to a high speed belt conveyor. , Tiles that are transported later than other tiles due to catching on the guide rails,
When it is pushed up by a rear stopper for hooking subsequent tiles and caught in an oblique posture, or when it is hooked by this rear stopper, it is caught in an oblique posture. When the suction cup of the transfer device descends, it is strongly pressed against the tile, causing damage or failure of the support part of the suction cup, and when it is hooked on the back stopper, one tile remains missing. However, there is a problem in that a backing sheet is attached and a defective product is generated.

Means for Solving the Problems As means for solving the above problems, the first invention of the present invention is to provide a plurality of fired tiles aligned vertically and horizontally in a state different from the state of being attached to a construction surface. A plurality of movable bodies arranged in parallel in a horizontal plane corresponding to each row in the vertical or horizontal direction of the plurality of tiles are provided on a carrier that reciprocates between the storage position and the transfer position by elevating and moving horizontally. Relative movement in the direction is mounted and a driving device for changing the relative position of the movable body is mounted, and the tiles are adsorbed to the tiles on the lower surface of the movable body to apply a negative pressure to the tiles for each row. A tile connecting device provided with a suction cup for holding, and a mount attaching device at the transfer position or at a position separated from the transfer position, wherein the drive device is configured to project a rod from a cylinder tube so that the rod can expand and contract. An air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and adjacent ones of the plurality of movable bodies arranged in parallel are freely connected to each other so as to approach and separate within a certain range, and at least one of the cylinder tube and the rod is connected. A structure in which the movable body is connected to the outermost one of the movable bodies, and the movable body is moved by driving the air cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder so that the adjacent space is widened or narrowed; The invention of the above, in a carrier that reciprocates between a storage position and a transfer position of a plurality of fired tiles aligned vertically and horizontally in a state different from the state of being adhered to a construction surface by the above-mentioned plurality of transporters. A plurality of movable bodies arranged in parallel corresponding to each row in the vertical or horizontal direction of the tiles are mounted so as to be freely movable in one direction in the horizontal plane. Is mounted on the lower surface of the movable body, and a suction cup for holding the tiles in each row is attached to the lower surface of the movable body by applying a negative pressure to the lower surface of the movable body. A tile connecting device provided with a mount attaching device at a position distant from the transfer position, wherein the driving device is an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder in which a rod is extendably and contractably projected from a cylinder tube, and the plurality of the plurality of parallel connecting devices are arranged in parallel. The movable bodies located at every other movable body are connected to each other to form two sets of movable bodies,
At least one of the cylinder tube and the rod is connected to the two sets of movable bodies, and the two sets of movable bodies are moved alternately in a direction perpendicular to the parallel direction by driving the air cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder. It was configured.

The operation and effect of the invention The present invention has the above-described configuration, and stores a plurality of fired tiles in a state of being aligned vertically and horizontally at a storage position at a stationary position, and a carrier that is horizontally moved above the movable member. Move in the state where the tiles are located right above the corresponding rows in the vertical or horizontal direction of the tiles, and the suction cups on the lower surface of the movable body are attracted to the upper surfaces of the tiles so that a negative pressure is applied to move the tiles. Each movable body is held in a row without changing its orientation or position with respect to the body, and each movable body is driven in a predetermined plane in a horizontal plane by the drive device until the carrier body moves up and moves horizontally to reach above the transfer position. By moving it relative to the position and lowering the carrier in this state, the tiles are placed in the transfer position with the same arrangement and joint spacing as the state of being attached to the construction surface. Place the tiles in a line up to the transfer position. In addition, the tiles are joined together in a pasted state by pasting the backing sheets with a backing sheet pasting device provided at a position separated from the transfer position, and the tiles that are in a stationary state are held by a suction cup. Then, since the suction cups are aligned by moving, the tile positions are disturbed during the alignment, as in the case where the suction cups are conveyed by a belt conveyor and aligned by being hooked by a stopper. There is no misalignment or joint spacing, and tiles do not rise up diagonally, so that they can be accurately aligned with the state of attachment to the construction surface and other members such as suction cups may be damaged. Without
In addition, since the tiles are held in rows in the vertical or horizontal direction by the movable bodies that move in the horizontal plane, the tiles can be bricked by simply moving the movable bodies so that adjacent rows are staggered. There is an effect that it can be easily arranged in a sticking state for use.
