Abstract
A panel structure manufacturing device includes a shaping device that shapes the surface of a thermoplastic resin into a relief shape and forms a plate-like core member; a heating device that selectively heats the surface of the core member; and a pressurizing device that pressurizes a heated spot of the core member that the heating device has heated and a plate-like face plate, and fuses together the core member and the face plate.
Claims10
A panel structure manufacturing device comprising:
- a forming device comprising a gear configured to form a core member having a plate shape by forming a surface of a thermoplastic resin into an undulating shape, the gear having a tooth;
- a heating device configured to selectively heat a surface of the core member and a tip portion of the tooth of the gear;
- a pressurizing device configured to pressurize a heating location of the core member heated by the heating device and a face plate having a plate shape to fuse the core member and the face plate;
- and
- a control device configured to control a heating timing of the heating device by controlling a heating section of the heating device to heat the tooth of the gear immediately after formation of the core member by the gear is completed, the heating being performed during a range of about ¼ to ½ of a rotation of the gear immediately before fusion of the core member and the face plate in one rotation of the gear.
A panel structure manufacturing method comprising:
- forming a core member having a plate shape by forming a surface of a thermoplastic resin into an undulating shape using a gear;
- selectively heating a surface of the core member by controlling a heating section to heat a tooth of the gear immediately after completing formation of the core member by the gear, the heating being performed during a range of about ¼ to ½ of a rotation of the gear immediately before fusion of the core member and the face plate in one rotation of the gear;
- and
- immediately after the selective heating, pressurizing a heating location of the core member and a face plate having a plate shape to fuse the core member and the face plate.
