Abstract

The present inventive concept relates to a mold and a construction panel manufacturing method using same, in which, in order to manufacture a construction panel, a surface on which a raw material is applied is formed into a curved surface by continuously connecting a rope. The mold comprises: first and second side plates facing each other; a curved base forming a predetermined curved surface between the first and second side plates by being interweaved to the first and second side plates; and a sheet member disposed along the curved base so as to form the curved surface, and enabling a construction panel raw material to be applied thereon. Thus, construction panels having variously-shaped curved surfaces may be manufactured by repeatedly using the first and second side plates while differing the interweaving of a rope so as to correspond to a curved surface of a construction panel to be manufactured. Accordingly, the present inventive concept has the effect of having excellent manufacturing efficiency for construction panels having curved surfaces.

Claims (18)

1 . A mold, comprising:

a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart from each other and positionally fixed relative to one another, wherein each of the first side panel and the second side panel has an array of holes extending therethrough;

a continuous rope threaded through only some holes in the array of holes in each of the first side panel and the second side panel forming a meshed curved base between the first side panel and the second side panel; and

a sheet member arranged on the meshed curved base for forming a curved surface on which a material for manufacturing a construction panel can be applied.

2 . The mold according to claim 1 , wherein, within each of the first and second side panels, holes in the array of holes are spaced apart from each other along different directions such that a distance between centers of adjacent holes in the array ranges from 5 mm to 10 mm.

3 . The mold according to claim 2 , wherein the rope is continuously woven and connected from one end of the first and second side panels to another end of the first and second side panels.

4 . The mold according to claim 3 , wherein the rope is made of fiber yarn or resin yarn.

5 . The mold according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet member is made of latex or silicone with a thickness of 2.5 mm or less.

6 . The mold according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a fixing member which is placed outside the first and second side panels and to which the rope passing through the first and second side panels is woven.

7 . A construction panel manufacturing method comprising:

providing a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart from each other and positionally fixed relative to one another, wherein each of the first side panel and the second side panel has an array of holes extending therethrough;

threading a rope through only some holes in the array of holes in each of the first side panel and the second side panel to form a meshed curved base between the first and second side panels;

arranging a sheet member on the meshed curved base;

applying construction panel material on the sheet member; and

drying the applied construction panel material and separating the dried construction panel material from the sheet member to perform plastic-working.

8 . The construction panel manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein the rope is continuously connected from one end of the first and second side panels to another end of the first and second side panels.

9 . The construction panel manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein, in forming the meshed curved base, a shape of the curved base positioned between the first and second side panels when viewed from above forms a shape that triangles are continuously connected through the continuous connection of the rope.
