BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a protective material inserted at the end of the core in order to protect the winding core (paper tube) in the unpacking process of winding the paper or film wrapped with the packing material.RollEnd face packing material covering the end faceWinding protective materialThe present invention relates to a take-up protective material removal chuck device used to removeIn more detail, the take-up protective material removing chuck device used to remove at least the protective material from the winding having the protective material attached to the end of the core, and the winding without the protective material. The present invention relates to a chuck device for removing a winding protective material used for removing an end surface packing material from a take-up.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When using rolled up paper or film rolls at a printing factory, etc., remove the packing material covering the outside and remove the protective material attached to the end of the core. is required. Therefore, as a method for easily removing the winding protective material such as the packing material and the protective material, first, among the packing materials packing the winding, the end surface packing material (also called the mirror surface one-pump) located on the end surface is used. After removing the protective material at the end of the core from the winding core, the protective material is removed from the winding together with the end face packing material, and then the peripheral packing material is removed. The method is known. As an apparatus for removing the end face packing material and the protective material from the winding together, an apparatus developed by the present applicant and applied for a patent (see JP-A-5-162728) is known. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the device disclosed in this publication is provided with a rotary table 4 on both sides of a packing material cutting device 3 for cutting the end surface packing material 2 of the winding 1 into a disk shape. 4 is provided with an elevating device 5 to hold the horizontal moving member 6 so as to move up and down (move in the ZZ direction) and move horizontally (XX direction). A moving frame 8 is held via a spherical bearing 7, and a chuck device 10 having an opening / closing claw 9 at the tip of the moving frame 8 is attached so as to be able to turn sideways and downward.
[0003]
The operation by this apparatus was performed as follows. That is, first, the winding 1 is placed on the pair of rollers 14 of the packing material cutting device 3, the height position of the moving frame 8 is adjusted with respect to the winding 1, and the opening / closing claw 9 at the tip is wound. Then, the moving frame 8 is moved forward toward the winding 1 and inserted into the protective member 12 at the end of the winding core 11 with the opening / closing claw 9 closed. Then, the winding 1 is rotated, the outer peripheral portion of the end face packing material is cut off by a cutting blade (not shown), then the opening / closing claw 9 is opened and hooked on the end face of the protective material 12, and the moving frame 8 is retracted. Then, the opening / closing claw 9 is pulled out from the winding core 11 and the end surface packing material 2 and the protective material 12 are removed from the winding 1, and then the end surface packing material 2 and the protection held by the opening / closing claw 9 by rotating the rotary table 4. Carrying the material 12 above the discharge position 13 with the opening / closing claw 9 facing downward There was not discharged end surface packaging 2 and the protective member 12 to the discharge position 13. Further, this apparatus is the same method as described above even when only the protective material 12 is removed from the winding, or when only the end surface packing material 2 is removed from the winding on which the protective material 12 is not mounted. It was used in.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, there has been a further improvement in such devices. That is, in this device, the outer periphery of the end surface packing material 2 is rotated from another packing material (packing material on the peripheral surface) while rotating the winding 1 with the opening / closing claw 9 inserted into the protective material 12 in the core 11. The winding core 11 of the winding 1 is often eccentric, so that the winding core 11 is displaced vertically and horizontally while the winding 1 is rotating. It is necessary to follow the displacement. For this follow-up, the moving frame 8 to which the chuck device 10 is attached is held by the horizontal moving member 6 via the spherical bearing 7 so that the moving frame 8 can be displaced in any direction around the spherical bearing 7. However, since the moving frame 8 holding the chuck device 10 has a large inertia, it is difficult to move. Therefore, there is a problem that the followability of the opening / closing claw 9 to the displacement of the core 11 is poor. Further, since the large spherical bearing 7 is required to support the entire moving frame 8 and a mechanism for fixing the moving frame 8 so as not to move is also required, there is a problem that the apparatus cost increases.
[0005]
The present invention is intended to solve such a problem. The open / close claw can be moved using a simple and small mechanism, and the open / close claw with the tip inserted into the winding core is rotated during winding. It is an object of the present invention to provide a take-up protective material removing chuck device that can easily follow the displacement of the winding core.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present inventionAn open / close claw inserted into the winding core for removing the protective material in the winding core is provided, and at least the protective material, that is, only the protective material or only the protective material and the end surface packing material is removed from the winding. In the chuck device of the configuration, or provided with an opening / closing claw for removing the end face packing material inserted into the take-up core without a protective material in the core, and removing the end face packing material from the take-up In the chuck device configured to be removed,In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a moving member (moving frame in the conventional example of FIG. 8) for holding and moving the chuck device does not follow the displacement of the winding core, but in the chuck device. In this configuration, a variable mechanism that allows the opening / closing claw to move following the displacement of the winding core is provided. As described above, by providing the variable mechanism in the chuck device, the member that moves following the displacement of the core is a part of the chuck device including the opening / closing claw and the claw opening / closing means for opening / closing the claw. Therefore, when the winding is rotated with the tip of the opening / closing claw inserted into the core, the opening / closing claw can easily follow the displacement of the winding core and move. As a variable mechanism, a relatively small mechanism can be used, and the apparatus cost can be reduced.
  Furthermore, the present invention provides the deformable bellows-type cylinder having one surface fixed to a swivel base held by a moving member as the variable mechanism, and a substantially conical shape held on the opposite surface of the bellows-type cylinder. A bellows cylinder having a stopper surface and a guide for attaching the claw opening / closing means; and a guide provided with a guide surface fixed to the swivel base and engaged with the stopper surface of the support member. When a high pressure is applied inside, the stopper surface of the support member is strongly pressed against the guide surface of the guide to fix the support member in a fixed position, but when the pressure in the bellows cylinder is lowered, the stopper surface is It is also possible to use a structure that is movable with respect to the guide surface and allows the support member to move. Here, “substantially conical” means not only a normal conical shape (a shape formed by a straight line in which a cross-sectional shape cut by the central axis is inclined with respect to the central axis) but also a central axis such as a spherical shape. The cut cross-sectional shape includes a shape constituted by a curved line such as an arc inclined with respect to the central axis. Since the bellows type cylinder can take a large amount of displacement, the opening / closing claw can surely follow the displacement of the core. In addition, with the above configuration, by simply switching the internal pressure of the bellows type cylinder between high pressure and low pressure, the opening and closing claws can be fixed so as not to move or released so as to move freely. It can be simplified.

A cutting unit 23 and the like are provided. In the present specification, the axis of the winding 1 held at a predetermined height by the baler 21 is used as the reference axis of the end surface packing material cutting device 20.
[0010]
Between the pair of balers 21, a belt conveyor 25 for winding and conveying is provided in parallel with the axis of the balers 21. With this configuration, in a state where the pair of baler 21 is lowered to the retracted position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Then, the pair of balers 21 are raised to hold the winding 1 at a predetermined height to perform a predetermined process, and then the pair of balers 21 are lowered to wind the winding 1 The belt conveyor 25 can be lowered and discharged in the winding axial direction by the belt conveyor 25, and the take-up 1 can be carried in and out easily and quickly. Sometimes it is not necessary to roll the winding, which provides the advantage that the winding is not damaged.
[0011]
An end-face packing material removal and recovery device generally indicated by reference numeral 30 includes a support frame 31 disposed above, a guide rail 32 attached to the support frame 31, and a movement movably held by the guide rail 32. A stand 33 is provided. The guide rail 32 is provided at a right angle and horizontally to the reference axis line (the axis line of the winding 1) of the end surface packing material cutting device 20, so that the movable table 33 is wound by the winding material held by the end surface packing material cutting device. It is located above and can travel horizontally (in the YY direction) at right angles to the reference axis of the end surface packing material cutting device 20. Further, a rodless cylinder 34 is attached to the support frame 31 as a mechanism for causing the movable table 33 to travel. The mechanism for running the moving table is not limited to the rodless cylinder 34, but other types of cylinder mechanisms or motors may be used, but the rodless cylinder 34 may be used. Is preferable because it can be installed in a small space and can exert a large force. The length of the guide rail 32 is such that the movable table 33 is moved above the pallet 35 placed at the end surface packing material discharge position P set at a desired position away from the side of the end surface packing material cutting device 20. It is set to be possible.
[0012]
A guide rail 37 is attached to the lower surface of the moving table 33 at a right angle to the moving direction of the moving table 33, and thus parallel to the reference axis line (the axis line of the winding 1) of the end face packing material cutting device 20. The slider 38 is held movably. Further, as a mechanism for reciprocating the slider 38, a rodless cylinder 39 is attached to the moving table 33 and is connected to the slider 38. Thus, the slider 38 can reciprocate in a direction parallel to the axis of the winding 1 placed at a predetermined position (XX direction). The mechanism for reciprocating the slider 38 is not limited to the rodless cylinder, but other types of cylinder mechanisms may be used. However, the rodless cylinder is preferable because the installation space can be reduced.
[0013]
An arm 42 is attached to the lower surface of the slider 38 so as to extend downward, and an inverted U-shaped attachment 43 is attached to the lower end thereof, and a chuck device for removing the winding protection material is attached to the attachment 43. 44 is attached so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the axis of the winding 1. Therefore, the arm 42 constitutes a moving member that holds and moves the chuck device 44.
[0014]
As shown in enlarged views in FIGS. 4 and 5, the chuck device 44 is provided so as to press against and support the winding end surface packing material, and to protrude through the support member 46. An open / close claw 47 which is inserted into the protective material at the winding core end in the closed state and can be hooked by opening the open / close claw 47 and a claw opening / closing means for opening / closing the open / close claw 47 (for example, , Air chuck) 48 and the like, and a support member 46 is held by the claw opening / closing means 48. Further, the chuck device 44 is fixedly attached to shafts 50a and 50b rotatably held by a fixture 43 at a lower end of the arm 42 (see FIG. 2), A connecting means 52 for holding the claw opening / closing means 48 on the swivel base 51 is provided.
[0015]
The connecting means 52 includes a variable mechanism that allows the opening / closing claw to move following the movement of the winding core caused by the eccentric winding rotation. In this embodiment, as the variable mechanism, a deformable bellows-type cylinder [for example, a tire cylinder (trade name)] 53 provided with one side fixed to the swivel base 51 and the opposite surface of the bellows-type cylinder 53 are held. A support member 55 having a substantially conical stopper surface 55a, and a guide 56 provided with a guide surface 56a fixed to the swivel base 51 and engaged with the stopper surface 55a of the support member 55. The claw opening / closing means 48 is held by the support member 55.
[0016]
The bellows type cylinder 53 used here includes a bellows portion 53a for applying fluid pressure such as air pressure and hydraulic pressure, and end plates 53b and 53c on both sides thereof, and the bellows portion 53a is made of rubber or the like. It is made of a deformable material, can be expanded and contracted, and the angle of the end plate 53c with respect to the end plate 53b can be deformed. Thus, when a high pressure is applied to the bellows type cylinder 53, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper surface 55a of the support member 55 is strongly pressed against the guide surface 56a of the guide 56, and the support member 55 is fixed and moved in a predetermined position. However, if the pressure of the bellows type cylinder 53 is reduced, it becomes possible to slide between the stopper surface 55a and the guide surface 56a as shown in FIG. Therefore, when force in any direction, up, down, left, and right acts on the support member 55, the support member 55 can move in any direction, and the opening / closing claw 47 can also move. Here, the angle at which the end plate 53c can be deformed by the flexibility of the bellows portion 53a is considerably large. Therefore, the pivotable angle θ of the center line of the end plate 53c and the supporting member attached thereto and the opening / closing claw 47 is large. 30 degrees. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winding 1 is rotated in a state where the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted into the protective material 12 in the core of the winding 1, the protective material 12 moves due to the eccentricity of the winding core. Even so, the opening / closing claw 47 can follow the movement of the protective material 12 and move without trouble.
[0017]
4 and 6, the support member 46 has a contact surface 46a for lightly pressing the winding end surface on the front surface. The abutment surface 46a is provided with an inclination so as not to cause any trouble even if the support member 46 is inclined. Further, a step portion 46b is provided on the front surface side of the support member 46 and on the outer peripheral portion of the contact surface 46a, and a ring-shaped push member 60 is disposed at that position. The pushing member 60 is for removing the end surface packing material caught on the opening / closing claw 47, and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) guide rods are attached to the rear surface at a constant pitch in the circumferential direction. The guide rod 61 is slidably held in a hole provided in the support member 46 so as to be movable with respect to the support member 46. An air cylinder 62 is attached to the back surface of the support member 46, and the piston rod is connected to the push member 60. With this configuration, the push member 60 is reciprocated with respect to the support member 46. Here, as the movement range of the pressing member 60, as shown in FIG. 6A, from the position where the tip of the pressing member 60 is retracted behind the most distal end of the contact surface 46 a of the supporting member 46, FIG. As shown to (b), it is determined so that it can move to the position which can wipe off the end surface packing material caught on the opening-and-closing claw 47. In FIG. 6, the guide rod 61 and the air cylinder 62 are shown to be positioned up and down (away from each other by 180 °), but this is for easy understanding of the drawing and does not actually interfere with each other. It is arranged at a position that does not interfere with the swivel base 51 and the like behind the support member 46.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 6C, the support member 46 is provided with a sensor 64 that detects that the pressing member 60 has reached a preset position with respect to the support member 46. More specifically, a position at which one rear end of the guide rod 61 connected to the pressing member 60 is detected when the front end of the pressing member 60 reaches a position that substantially coincides with the most distal position of the support member 46. A sensor 64 is provided at (or a position where a detected member provided on the guide rod 61 is detected). With this configuration, the chuck device 44 is moved toward the winding 1 with the push member 60 positioned in front of the support member 46, and the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted into the protective member 12 of the winding 1. When this is done, the pushing member 60 is pushed and retracted by the winding end face, and the leading end of the pushing member 60 and the leading end of the supporting member 46 become substantially the same position as shown in FIG. When 46 is substantially in contact with the winding end surface and the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted to a predetermined position, the sensor 64 outputs a detection signal indicating completion of insertion. Therefore, the sensor 64 constitutes an opening / closing claw insertion detecting means for detecting that the opening / closing claw has been inserted to a predetermined position in the winding protection material and outputting a signal. The output signal of the sensor 64 is used to control the rodless cylinder 39 that moves the slider 38, as will be described later.
[0019]
2 and 4, a rotary actuator 70 is connected as a turning means for turning the chuck device 44 to the shaft 50 a held by the fixture 43 at the lower end of the arm 42, and the rotary actuator 70 attaches the bracket 71. It is connected to the fixture 43 via Further, a lever 72 is provided on the other shaft 50b, and the rotation is stopped by abutting against an impact absorbing stopper 73 attached to the fixture 43. Here, the rotary actuator 70 and the stopper 73 swivel the chuck device 44 to an operating position where the chuck device 44 is horizontal and the tip (opening / closing claw 47) faces the winding end surface, and a discharge position facing downward. And is arranged to stop at that position. The turning means is not limited to the rotary actuator 70 and can be changed as appropriate.
[0020]
In FIG. 2, a winding diameter detection device 75 is provided so as to be positioned above the winding 1 held by the baler 21 of the end surface packing material cutting device 20. The take-up diameter detecting device 75 measures the outer diameter of the take-up 1 held by the baler 21, and based on the measurement result, the baler 21 takes the take-up 1 and the center of the core 11 is an arm. In this configuration, the chuck device 44 is positioned at a predetermined height position that coincides with the central axis of the chuck device 44 held by the chuck 42.
[0021]
Next, the operation of the apparatus having the above configuration will be described. In FIG. 3, the winder 1 is lowered to the retracted position indicated by a two-dot chain line, and the take-up 1 is cut by the belt conveyor 25 by the belt conveyor 25 at the position where the moving base 33 is off the upper side of the belt conveyor 25. It is sent to a predetermined position in 20. Next, after measuring the winding diameter by the winding diameter detecting device 75 (see FIG. 2), the baler 21 is raised based on the information, and the winding 1 is lifted to a position where the core center becomes a predetermined height. Hold in position. Next, the moving table 33 moves in the reference axial direction of the end surface packing material cutting device 20, and the holding chuck device 44 is positioned at a position facing the end surface of the winding 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. To do. At this time, the chuck device 44 is horizontal with the opening / closing claw 47 closed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a high pressure is applied to the bellows cylinder 53, the support member 55 is fixed at a predetermined position, and the opening / closing claw 47 is fixed horizontally.
[0022]
Next, the slider 38 in FIG. 2 is wound by the rodless cylinder 39 (see FIG. 3) in a state where the pushing member 60 (see FIG. 6) provided in the chuck device 44 protrudes ahead of the support member 46. The chuck device 44 is moved toward the end face of the winding 1. As a result, the opening / closing claw 47 of the chuck device 44 pierces the end surface packing material 2 and is inserted into the protective material 12 at the end of the core 11. At this time, a considerable force is required to pierce the end surface packing material 2 of the opening / closing claw 47, but the opening / closing claw 47 pierces the end surface packing material 2 by the driving force of the rodless cylinder 39 that moves the slider 38. It is possible to pierce without. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), when the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted to a predetermined position in the protective material 12, the sensor 64 detects it and outputs an insertion completion signal, and the rodless cylinder 39 The supply pressure is reduced and the support member 46 is pressed against the end face of the winding 1 with a weak pressing force.
[0023]
Next, as shown in FIG. 7A, the push member 60 is retracted by the air cylinder 63. Further, the pressure of the bellows cylinder 53 (see FIG. 5) is switched to a low pressure, and the opening / closing claw 47 becomes movable. In this state, the cutting operation of the end surface packing material 2 is performed. That is, the baler 21 rotates, the winding 1 held is rotated, and the packing material on the outer periphery of the winding is cut with the cutting blade of the cutting unit 23 (see FIG. 3). Thereby, the end surface packing material 2 is cut | disconnected in disk shape. During the cutting operation, when the core 11 of the winding 1 is eccentric, it may move up and down and left and right as it rotates, but the opening / closing claw 47 of the chuck device 44 can be arbitrarily moved. It moves following the movement of the protective material 12 inside, and no trouble occurs. Further, as the cutting of the end surface packing material 2 progresses, the end surface packing material 2 may fall down. Since the center portion of the end surface packing material 2 is supported by the support member 46 of the chuck device 44, the end surface packing The material 2 does not fall down inconveniently. Thus, the end surface packing material 2 is favorably cut into a disk shape.
[0024]
When the cutting of the end surface packing material 2 is completed, as shown in FIG. 7B, the opening / closing claw 47 is opened, and the slider 38 is retracted in this state, whereby the chuck device 44 is separated from the winding 1. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7C, the opening / closing claw 47 of the chuck device 44 catches the protective material 12 and pulls it out from the core 11, and the end surface packing material 2 is also pulled away from the end surface of the winding 1. Then, at an appropriate time after the opening / closing claw 47 is pulled out from the core 11, the pressure of the bellows cylinder 53 (see FIG. 5) is switched to a high pressure to fix the opening / closing claw 47. After that, the movable table 33 is moved above the end surface packing material discharge position P shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and then the chuck device 44 is turned downward to close the opening / closing claw 47 and project the push member 60. . Thereby, the end surface packing material 2 and the protective material 12 are discharged downward and deposited on the pallet 35.
[0025]
While the moving table 33 is moving toward the end surface packing material discharge position P, the baler 21 descends to place the winding 1 on the belt conveyor 25, and the winding 1 processed by the belt conveyor 25 is transferred to the next. While discharging into the process, the next winding 1 to be processed is carried above the baler 21 to prepare for the next operation. Thereafter, by repeating the same operation, the end surface packing material 2 and the protective material 12 of the winding 1 can be removed and sequentially discharged to the end surface packing material discharge position.
[0026]
In the above embodiment, the case where the end surface packing material 2 and the protective material 12 are simultaneously removed by the chuck device 44 from the winding 1 in which the protective material 12 is mounted in the winding core has been described. Not only in this case, but also when only the protective material 12 is removed, or when only the end surface packing material 2 is removed, it can be used. For example, the opening / closing claw 47 of the chuck device 44 is inserted into the winding core in the same manner as the above-described operation for the winding without the protective material 12, and then the outer periphery of the end surface packing material 2 is separated. Thereafter, by opening the opening / closing claw 47 and pulling it out from the core, the end surface packing material 2 cut off by the opening / closing claw 47 can be hooked and removed from the winding end surface.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the chuck device of the present invention is provided with the variable mechanism that allows the opening / closing claw to move following the displacement of the winding core in the chuck device. The opening / closing claw inserted in the can easily follow the displacement of the winding core, and the cutting operation of cutting the outer periphery of the end face packing material while rotating the winding can be performed without any trouble, and it is variable Since a relatively small mechanism can be used, the chuck device is not so large, and the structure is simplified compared to the conventional configuration in which the moving frame to which the chuck device is attached can be moved freely. The cost can be reduced.

Further, as a variable mechanism provided in the connecting means, a deformable bellows-type cylinder provided on one side of the swivel base and a deformable bellows-type cylinder held on the opposite surface of the bellows-type cylinder and having a substantially conical stopper surface When a structure including a support member for attaching the claw opening / closing means and a guide surface fixed to the swivel base and engaging with a stopper surface of the support member is simply provided with the bellows type By applying a high pressure in the cylinder, the stopper surface of the support member is strongly pressed against the guide surface of the guide to fix the support member in a fixed position, and thus the opening / closing claw can be fixed so as not to move. By reducing the pressure in the mold cylinder, the stopper surface can move with respect to the guide surface, and the support member and the opening / closing claw attached thereto can be It can be moved freely, the mechanism for fixing and releasing the opening and closing claw can be simplified to reduce the cost of the device, and the bellows type cylinder can take a large amount of displacement. This makes it possible to reliably follow the displacement of the winding core.
