Abstract

A method for manufacturing a panel structure in which a reference position of a first frame in an axial direction is first welded to one face of a face plate, a not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position in the axial direction is second welded to the one face, and welding is performed discontinuously to the one face from the not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position at portions on both sides in the axial direction on the basis of the reference position.

Claims (30)

1. A method for manufacturing a panel structure by joining a frame to one face of a face plate by welding a plurality of positions arranged in the axial direction of the frame to the face plate, said method comprising:

performing a first welding in which a reference position of a plurality of positions to be welded arranged in the axial direction of a first frame is first welded to the one face,

performing a second welding in which a not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position of the plurality of positions to be welded arranged in the axial direction of the first frame is welded to the one face, and after the first and second weldings,

repeating a welding process in which a not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position of the plurality of positions to be welded arranged in the axial direction of the first frame is welded to the one face, wherein

the first frame is one of a plurality of frames joined parallel to each other to the one face,

after each welding of the first frame, a not-yet welded position of each frame other than the first frame corresponding to a last welding position of the first frame is welded to the one face starting from the frame closest to the first frame,

until partial frame welding in which a not-yet-welded position corresponding to the last welding position of the first frame is welded in each frame, partial frame welding is performed discontinuously on the one face from a not-yet welded position of the frame closest to the first frame,

until welding of all positions to be welded in each frame is completed with regard to all the frames, the partial frame welding is performed repeatedly.

2. The method for manufacturing the panel structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the reference position is a central part of the first frame in the axial direction.

3. The method for manufacturing the panel structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the repeating a welding process includes performing a third welding in which on the other side of the reference position from a position of the second welding in the axial direction of the first frame a not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position is welded after the second welding, and

repeating the welding process in which a not-yet-welded position closest to the reference position on the opposite side of the reference position from the third welding position in the axial direction of the first frame is welded to the one face.

4. The method for manufacturing the panel structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the first frame is welded to a central part of the one face in a direction in which the frame is arrayed on the one face.

5. The method for manufacturing the panel structure according to claim 1 , wherein
