Line facility for producing structure
View Patent ↗A production line ( 1 ) is constituted of a sliding path ( 10 ) as a moving path provided along nine working step positions from a first step position (P 1 ) to a ninth step position (P 9 ), nine skids ( 20 ) as support-receipt plates slidably mounted on the sliding path ( 10 ) every predetermined interval so as to correspond to the step positions (P 1 ) to (P 9 ), and driving mechanisms ( 30 ), that is, ( 31 A), ( 30 B) and ( 30 C) as moving and driving mechanisms for moving and driving the skids ( 20 ).
1. A line facility for producing a structure, comprising:
a moving path comprising a rail member having a flat sliding surface;
a support-receipt plate comprising a skid including a first plurality of beams extending in a first direction and a second plurality of beams extending in a second direction at an angle relative to the first direction, a plurality of plate members indirectly connecting the first and second pluralities of beams, a receiving plate disposed on the first and second pluralities of beams and configured to receive a portion of the structure supported by the support-receipt plate, a plurality of support jigs extending from the receiving plate to support the portion of the structure, and a sliding member disposed on the first and second pluralities of beams on a side opposite the receiving plate and having a flat surface, the flat surface slidably movable on the flat sliding surface of the moving path;
a moving and driving mechanism adapted to slidably move and to drive the support-receipt plate on the moving path; and
a plurality of guide rollers configured to horizontally guide the flat surface of the sliding member to prevent the flat surface of the sliding member from departing from the flat sliding surface of the rail member.
2. The line facility according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding member is attached on a part of a lower surface of the support-receipt plate.
3. The line facility according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a coupling mechanism adapted to couple the support-receipt plate to another support-receipt plate.
4. The line facility according to claim 1 , wherein the moving and driving mechanism comprises a hydraulic cylinder extending along a portion of the moving path.
5. The line facility according to claim 4 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder comprises a cylinder rod having a tip, and an operating member provided to be movable to protrude from and to be disposed in the tip.
6. The line facility according to claim 5 , wherein an operated member is provided on the support-receipt plate, the operated member adapted to contact the operating member.
7. The line facility according to claim 6 , wherein the operating member is adapted to contact the operated member in response to movement of the cylinder rod in a predetermined direction.
8. The line facility according to claim 1 , wherein the moving path comprises one of a J shape, a U shape, a circle, and a labyrinth shape.
9. A plant for manufacturing a structure, comprising:
a line facility adapted to produce a structure; and
a dolly configured to transport the structure to the line facility,
wherein the line facility comprises:
a moving path comprising a rail member having a flat sliding surface;
a support-receipt plate comprising a skid including a first plurality of beams extending in a first direction and a second plurality of beams extending in a second direction at an angle relative to the first direction, a plurality of plate members indirectly connecting the first and second pluralities of beams, a receiving plate disposed on the first and second pluralities of beams and configured to receive a portion of the structure supported by the support-receipt plate, a plurality of support jigs extending from the receiving plate to support the portion of the structure, and a sliding member disposed on the first and second pluralities of beams on a side opposite the receiving plate and having a flat surface, the flat surface slidably movable on the flat sliding surface of the moving path;
a moving and driving mechanism adapted to slidably move and to drive the support-receipt plate on the moving path; and
a plurality of guide rollers configured to horizontally guide the flat surface of the sliding member to prevent the flat surface of the sliding member from departing from the flat sliding surface of the rail member.
