Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a working method for the surface of a ceramic plate material which eliminates the positioning adjustment of a cutting device and enables continuous working by moving work tables to fixed longitudinal and lateral cutting devices in longitudinal and lateral directions for cutting, when longitudinal and lateral grooves are cut in the surface of the plate body. CONSTITUTION:In a working method for the surface of a ceramic plate material, when longitudinal and lateral recessed and protruded streaks R are formed in the surface of a plate body G, the plate body G is supported fixedly on a first work table 1A, and moved to a first cutting device 2A to form parallel grooves R on the surface of the plate body G by cutting. After this cutting process has been completed, the plate body G is transferred by parallel movement onto a second work table 1B waiting near the first work table 1a without changing its directional attitude, and supported fixedly. Then the second work table 1B is moved in the direction at right angle to the movement direction of the first work table 1A to move it to the second cutting device 2B. Thus the parallel grooves at right angle to the parallel grooves R are formed by cutting.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for processing the surface of a ceramic plate material, and more particularly to an improvement of a method for grinding vertical and horizontal joint grooves on the surface of an inorganic plate material or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, ceramic board materials have been very widely used as building board materials. In order to provide decorativeness to this type of ceramics plate material, there are cases where a brick pattern of joint patterns and joint grooves of various widths are ground on the surface. Since these joints are required to have a linear appearance, the roll press and plate-like presses have significant obstacles due to the escape of the material. .

By the way, in the case where a brick groove or a tile-like joint groove is formed on the surface of a ceramic plate material by cutting, conventionally, the ceramic plate material is fixed on a working table, and a NC lathe or other cutting machine is fixed on the surface. Then, the grinding blade was run in the vertical and horizontal directions to cut and form.

[0004]

[Problems of the prior art] However, while the above-described cutting method using a lathe has the advantage of being able to perform extremely accurate cutting, it is necessary to process each plate material one by one, and the work becomes a batch system. There is a drawback in that work efficiency is poor because it is necessary to fix the plate material on the processing table and to remove it after processing one by one, instead of performing the working process.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention is a process in which machining is performed in a flowable manner and efficiency is improved when a brickwork or tile-like vertical and horizontal joint patterns are provided on the surface by a cutting process. The purpose was to obtain a method for processing the surface of a ceramic plate material that enables good processing.

[0006]

That is, the method for processing the surface of a ceramic plate material according to the present invention is the first processing table for attaching vertical and horizontal uneven ridges R and r to the surface of a plate-like body G of a ceramic plate material or the like. The plate-like body G is fixedly supported on 1A, the first processing table 1A is moved toward the first cutting device 2A, and the parallel groove R is cut and formed on the surface of the plate-like body G, and the process is completed. After that, the plate-like body G is transferred by parallel movement on the second processing table 1B standing by in the vicinity of the first processing table 1A without changing the orientation, and the plate is placed on the second processing table 1B. The body G is fixedly supported, the second working table 1B is moved in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the first working table 1A, and is moved toward the second cutting device 2B to form the parallel groove. The present invention is characterized in that parallel grooves r orthogonal to each other are formed by cutting.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a plan view of an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 3 are enlarged plan views of essential parts showing a working state of the method of the present invention.

The method for processing the surface of the ceramic plate material of the present invention is as follows:
It corresponds to the first processing table 1A that is linearly movable, the second processing table 1B that is movable in a direction perpendicular to the first processing table 1A, and these two processing tables 1A and 1B. A device comprising a first cutting device 2A and a second cutting device 2B is used.

First, in carrying out the method of the present invention,
The plate-like body G to be processed on the first processing table 1A
Place and fix. After positioning, the first processing table 1A
2 is moved to move in the direction of the first cutting device 2A, parallel grooves R ... R in the width direction are cut on the surface of the plate-like body G by the first cutting device 2A, as shown in FIG. The first cutting device 2A is provided with a plurality of cutting blades (not shown) corresponding to these grooves.

After the cutting of the groove grooves R ... R in the width direction by the first machining table 1A is completed, the orientation is not changed to the second machining table 1B which stands by near the end point of the first machining table 1A. The plate-like body G is transferred in parallel. At the time of this transfer, a robot arm or the like having a suction plate at its tip is used.

Since the second machining table 1B is movable in the direction perpendicular to the first machining table 1A, the second machining table 1B does not change its orientation.
The plate-shaped body G transferred on the upper side is transferred as it is in the length direction, and the second cutting device 2B cuts the linear grooves r ... R in the length direction.

After processing the grooves r ... R, the plate-like bodies G are stacked in advance on a pallet 4 or the like waiting in advance, and are collectively transported to the next process such as a coating process for each required number of sheets. In the above embodiment, the first and second processing tables 1A, 1
The surface of B is provided with a large number of suction holes for sucking and fixing the plate-like body G, and the plate-like body can be arbitrarily fixed and released by negative pressure to these suction holes.

[0013]

In the method of the present invention, when the surface of the plate-like body is cut, the plate-like body G is not fixed on the fixed processing table and the cutting device is moved, but the cutting devices 2A and 2B are used. Is fixed, and the plate-shaped body G is linearly moved with respect to this, and the necessary processing is performed by the two processing tables 1A and 1B which move in the perpendicular direction. Continuous delivery enables flow-like production.

Further, since the delivery of the plate-shaped body G can be automatically controlled after the fixing to the first processing table 1A is determined, labor-saving processing can be performed by using a robot arm or the like.

[0015]

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, in the case of cutting the longitudinal grooves running on the surface of the plate-like body, the working tables 1A, 1B are mounted on the fixed cutting devices 2A, 2B. Is moved, and each groove R, r is cut by this movement, so that not only the positioning adjustment of the cutting device is unnecessary, but also the plate-shaped body is moved in the right-angled direction to continuously form vertical and horizontal grooves. It becomes possible to perform the cutting processing of, and continuous processing becomes possible.
