DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for stacking resin-impregnated fiber sheet materials, and more particularly, to a plurality of resin-impregnated fiber sheet materials (hereinafter referred to as "SMC material") set up in a press molding machine.
However, the present invention relates to a device that operates so as not to cause a displacement on a slide table of a loading device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a long SMC material having both sides adhered by a film is cut into a fixed size while peeling off the film, and a predetermined number of the SMC materials are sequentially loaded on a slide table of a loading device. At this time, while being guided by a guide member, it was deposited at a predetermined location above a slide table that reciprocates in the horizontal direction, and positioning was performed by a stopper provided on the slide table surface. When a glass mat is laid as a reinforcing material at the lower part of the glass mat, the SMC material and the glass mat mounted on the glass mat and the SMC sequentially mounted are sequentially slipped between the glass mat and the slide table surface.
Since the loading deviation is likely to occur between the materials, it is necessary to correct the deviation manually by hand when setting up the press machine.

In order to convey a predetermined number of superimposed SMC materials to the vicinity of a press machine in the next process, the SMC materials are conveyed by being clamped on a cart or the like, or are conveyed directly on a conveyor. However, in any case, the SMC material itself is liable to be contaminated, and the SMC material having adhesiveness adheres to peripheral equipment, and thus has a problem in transport handling.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to an apparatus for solving the above-mentioned problems. The gist of the present invention is to cut out a resin-impregnated fiber sheet material fed out to a fixed size and to sequentially receive a predetermined number of sheets. A slide table which reciprocates in a horizontal direction while placing a resin-impregnated fiber sheet material through a glass mat, and a sheet material fixing device disposed below the slide table surface and cooperating with the slide table A resin-impregnated fiber sheet characterized in that needles provided in a sheet material fixing device are intermittently protruded and retracted from a plurality of holes penetrating the slide table or a tray placed thereon. It is a material loading device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side view of a loading device for SMC materials of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a state at the end of loading according to the present invention. Shown in cross section.

As shown in the side view of FIG. 1, the present invention relates to a loading device for cutting a fed SMC material A into a fixed size and sequentially receiving a predetermined number of sheets.
A slide table 1 reciprocates in a horizontal direction on a gantry 4 while placing a material A, and a sheet material fixing device 3 arranged below the surface of the slide table 1 and cooperating with the slide table 1, An SMC in which needles 31 provided in the sheet material fixing device 3 are intermittently protruded and retracted from a plurality of holes 11 penetrating through the slide table 1 or the tray 2 placed on the slide table 1. It is a material loading device.

In the present invention, the slide table 1 has a mechanism for reciprocating in the horizontal direction with a stroke corresponding to the cut dimension of the SMC material A to be received, and a sheet disposed below the surface of the slide table 1. The material fixing device 3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, the cylinder reciprocates in the horizontal direction in cooperation with the slide table 1 and has a plurality of cylinders 3.
The needles 31 are disposed on the slide table 1 or the tray 2 mounted on the slide table 3 by the operation of the cylinder 33 and the buffering effect of the spring 32, respectively. A mechanism is provided for intermittently appearing and retracting in the directions of the arrows Y and Z at positions corresponding to the holes 11.

That is, as shown in FIG.
Immediately before or immediately after laying the glass mat B at a predetermined position on the tray 2 placed on the slide table 1 or on the slide table 1, the needle 3 is moved by the cylinder 33 of the sheet material fixing device 3.
1 is raised in the direction of arrow Y, and is projected from the hole 11 onto the surface of the slide table 1 or the tray 2 so that the glass mat B
After the glass mat B is fixed and the glass mat B is fixed, the SMC material is sequentially stacked on the glass mat B horizontally moving in the directions of the arrows X-1 and X-2 together with the slide table 1 and when the number of stacked sheets reaches a predetermined number. As shown in FIG.
The needle 31 is lowered in the direction of arrow Z by 3 to take out a laminate of the glass mat B and a predetermined number of SMC materials A from the slide table 1 and then move to the next step.

If the press (not shown) in the next step is separated from the loading device, the slide table 1
Glass mat B and SMC on tray 2 set on top
The laminate made of the material A can be transported together with the tray by placing it on a transfer device or loaded, which is convenient in handling and preferable in quality control such that the laminate itself is released from dirt.

[0010]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the following effects can be obtained. That is, a glass mat laid at the lowest position on the slide table of the loading device is fixed at a predetermined position, and S on the slide table that reciprocates in the horizontal direction.
As MC material does not shift from glass mat,
It is not necessary to perform the work of correcting the displacement prior to press molding, and a molded product having stable quality can be obtained. In addition, by placing the tray on the slide table, when the laminate on the tray is transported to a press machine at a remote location, it is easy to handle and has an effect of preventing the SMC material from being stained. .
