  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a laminated assembly manufacturing apparatus (hereinafter also referred to as “apparatus 1”) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus 1 has a cylindrical body supply means 2 for supplying a cylindrical body 10 having flexibility. In the apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the cylindrical body supply means 2 is an injection molding machine that injects a thin synthetic resin into a cylindrical shape. In this case, for example, the cylindrical body 10 having a predetermined cylinder length is sequentially repeated by injecting a synthetic resin into a cylinder from an injection molding machine and controlling the injection interval, or by appropriately cutting. Can be formed. The cylindrical body 10 formed in the injection molding machine is dropped by its own weight toward two support rods 3a and 3b described later.

  In addition, the cylindrical body supply means 2 is not limited to an injection molding machine. Examples of the cylindrical body 10 include a film-like cylindrical belt used for a transfer belt of a printer. For this reason, for example, the cylindrical body 10 may be formed in advance as the cylindrical body 10, such as a cylindrical body 10 that has been wound up with a roller and then heat-processed and integrated into a cylindrical shape, as in the past. Good. Thus, when the cylindrical body 10 becomes a finished product in advance, the cylindrical body supply means 2 applies the plurality of previously stored cylindrical bodies 10 to the two support rods 3a and 3b sequentially at predetermined time intervals. Any structure may be used as long as it is supplied toward the front.

  In addition, the device 1 includes a plurality of support bars 3 that are covered with a cylindrical body 10 and are arranged inside the cylindrical body 10. In the apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the support bar 3 is composed of two support bars 3a and 3b.

It has a cylindrical body deforming means 4. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body deformation | transformation means 4 is comprised as a press member which deform | transforms the cylindrical body 10 by contact. In the apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical body deforming means 4 advances and enters between the two support bars 3a and 3b, and retreats and leaves from between the two support bars 3a and 3b. can do. Examples of the configuration for driving the cylindrical body deforming unit 4 include a linear motion mechanism (actuator), a rotation mechanism, or a combination thereof controlled by the control unit 100 described later. The shape of the pressing surface 4a of the cylindrical body deforming means 4 can be changed as appropriate, but is preferably an arc-shaped section having an arc-shaped section for the purpose of protecting the cylindrical body 10. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body deformation | transformation means 4 is made into the C-shaped shape of the axial cross section. In this case, the cylindrical body guiding means 5 described later can be passed through the space formed inside the cylindrical body deforming means 4.

  In addition, the cylindrical body deformation | transformation means 4 can use the air blow apparatus which supplies air toward the side surface of the cylindrical body 10 covered on the two support rods 3a and 3b. As an air blow apparatus, what supplies air toward the side surface of the cylindrical body 10 using a compressor controlled by the control part 100 mentioned later is mentioned. In this case, the cylindrical body 10 covered on the two support rods 3a and 3b can be deformed by the wind pressure from the air blowing device.

  Furthermore, the apparatus 1 has a cylindrical body guiding means 5 for guiding the cylindrical body 10 to a predetermined position. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical body guide means 5 is extended so that the shaft 5a can project toward the cylindrical body supply means 2, and the shaft 5a extends from the tip portion of the shaft 5a to the end in the direction opposite to the projecting direction. A plurality of possible guide members 5b.

In the apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the shaft 5a is directed from the lower side of the cylindrical body 10 deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b to the cylindrical body supply means 2 through the side of the cylindrical body 10. Can be extended upward. Thereby, the front-end | tip part of the shaft 5a can be protruded from the upper end of the cylindrical body 10. FIG. In the present embodiment, the shaft 5a is configured by an extendable shaft that is controlled by the control unit 100 described later. Each of the guide members 5b is disposed at the distal end portion of the shaft 5a with an interval in the circumferential direction of the shaft 5a. Each of the guide members 5b is connected to the tip portion of the shaft 5a via a link mechanism 5c controlled by the control unit 100 described later, so that the guide member 5b expands downward in the opposite direction to the protruding direction.

Further, an air blow device that supplies air toward the cylindrical body supply means 2 can be used as the cylindrical body guide means 5. Examples of the air blowing device include a device that supplies air upward using a compressor. In this case, the air from the air blower is guided through the side of the cylindrical body 10 from below the cylindrical body 10 deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b, thereby guiding the cylindrical body 10. In addition, the opening A ₁ of the tubular body 10 can be opened widely.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the apparatus 1 covers the cylindrical body 10 between the two support rods 3a and 3b after the cylindrical body 10 is put on the two support rods 3a and 3b. A control unit 100 that performs control for covering the tubular body 10 that is deformed in the direction perpendicular to the axis and that is deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b to cover the new tubular body 10 is provided. The control unit 100 includes, for example, an input device (for example, a keyboard or a mouse), an arithmetic control device (for example, a CPU), and a storage device (for example, a main memory or a storage). A specific example is a personal computer. . The control unit 100 controls the drive mechanism of the two support rods 3a and 3b, the drive mechanism of the cylindrical body deforming means 4, and the shaft 5a and the link mechanism 5c of the cylindrical body guide means 5 as output devices. . As in the present embodiment, the control unit 100 can control the injection timing and the like of the cylindrical body supply unit 2 together. However, whether or not the control unit 100 controls the cylindrical body supply unit 2 and the like is a matter that can be appropriately selected in the present invention.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the lamination | stacking assembly C based on one Embodiment of this invention using the apparatus 1 is demonstrated.

[First placement step]
First, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, as the first arrangement step, the first cylindrical body 10 a injection-molded by the control unit 100 or the cylindrical body supply means 2 controlled by a separate operation or control is provided. It falls toward the two support rods 3a and 3b by its own weight. Thereby, the cylindrical body 10a is put on these two support rods 3a and 3b so that the two support rods 3a and 3b are inside as shown by the solid line from the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

[Cylindrical body deformation process]
Next, as a cylindrical body deforming step, the cylindrical body 10a placed on the two support bars 3a and 3b is deformed between the two support bars 3a and 3b. In this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 100 moves the cylindrical body deforming means 4 toward the cylindrical body 10a (horizontal movement in this embodiment) to press the cylindrical body 10a. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the cylindrical body 10a is deformed in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body 10a. In particular, in the present embodiment, in the cylindrical body deformation step, two support rods 3a and 3b are controlled by the control unit 100 as shown by a solid line from a two-dot chain line in FIG. After the rods 3a and 3b are brought close to each other, the cylindrical body 10a is deformed in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body 10a, or is pressed and deformed by the cylindrical body deforming means 4, and then the two support rods 3a, 3b is moved closer and further deformed. Thereby, as shown to the continuous line of Fig.4 (a), and FIG.4 (b), the 1st cylindrical body 10a deform | transforms so that it may be rounded small by the axial cross section view (plan view).

[Second placement step]
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, in the second arrangement step, a new cylindrical body is formed on the cylindrical body 10a deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b so that the cylindrical body 10a is on the inner side. 10b. In this embodiment, a 2nd arrangement | positioning process guides the opening end of the new cylindrical body 10b to the outer side of the first cylindrical body 10a, and connects the said cylindrical body 10b between the two support rods 3a and 3b. This is a step of covering the deformed tubular body 10a.

In the present embodiment, the cylindrical body guide means 5 controlled by the control unit 100 is used to guide the cylindrical body 10b. When in the initial position, the cylindrical body guide means 5 is disposed below the cylindrical body 10a with the respective guide members 5b being closed as shown in FIG. 4 (b). After the tubular body 10a is deformed in the axial direction of the tubular body 10a in the tubular body deforming step, the shaft 5a of the tubular body guiding means 5 is closed by the control unit 100 with the guide member 5b. The cylindrical body 10a deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b extends from below to above. At this time, the tip of the shaft 5a passes through the inside of the cylindrical body deforming means 4 and protrudes upward from the upper end of the cylindrical body 10a to become a tip portion of the shaft 5a. When the tip portion of the shaft 5a protrudes upward from the cylindrical body 10a, the control unit 100 controls the link mechanisms 5c to open outward. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the plurality of guide members 5b expands from the distal end portion of the shaft 5a downwardly toward the periphery of the shaft 5a. At this time, the outer edge of the guide member 5b is slightly larger radially outward than the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 10a placed between the two support rods 3a and 3b. For this reason, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, when a new cylindrical body 10b is supplied from the cylindrical body supply means 2 and falls, a plurality of guides spread around the shaft 5a in an umbrella shape. by member 5b is in contact with the lower end opening edge of the cylindrical body 10b, while opening the opening a ₁ of the new cylindrical body 10b, guided to the outside of the first cylindrical body 10a. Thereby, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, the new cylindrical body 10b can be put on the cylindrical body 10a deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b.

  After the new tubular body 10b is put on the first tubular body 10a, the control unit 100 controls each link mechanism 5c and closes each guide member 5b again. Thereby, even if the control part 100 shrinks the shaft 5a downward, each guide member 5b does not contact the cylindrical body deforming means 4, and the cylindrical body guide means 5 is set to the initial position below the cylindrical body 10. Can be restored. According to the apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical body guide means 5 can be moved between the cylindrical body supply means 2 and the support rod 3 without entering from the side. In this case, when the cylindrical body 10 is supplied from the cylindrical body supply means 2, there is no interference with the arm member or the like that supports the cylindrical body guide means 5. Can be realized. Moreover, according to the apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical body supply means 2, the support rod 3, and the cylindrical body guide means 5 are arranged in alignment on the same axis along the substantially vertical direction, 1 can be miniaturized. However, the arrangement and movement path of the cylindrical body guiding means 5 are not limited to the arrangement and movement path of the present embodiment. For example, the cylindrical body guiding means 5 can be introduced from an opening formed on the side surface of the cylindrical body deforming means 4.

[Additional process]
Moreover, although the manufacturing method of the laminated assembly which concerns on this invention can make a 1st arrangement | positioning process, a cylindrical body deformation | transformation process, and a 2nd arrangement | positioning process the minimum process, in this embodiment, the 1st arrangement | positioning mentioned above. The process, the cylindrical body deformation process, and the second arrangement process are set as initial processes, and the cylindrical body deformation process and the second arrangement process are sequentially performed a plurality of times after the initial process. Thereby, the laminated assembly C as shown in FIG. 6 is completed. The operator takes out the laminated assembly C from the support rods 3a and 3b, or attaches the laminated assembly C to the support rods 3a and 3b and collects the cylindrical bodies 10 together. Can be transported as

  In the present embodiment, the cylindrical body deforming means 4 is arranged only on one side of the cylindrical body 10, but two places sandwiching the two support rods 3 a and 3 b, that is, both sides of the cylindrical body 10 can be pressed individually. Can be arranged as follows. In this case, workability is improved by reducing the time from the deformation work in the cylindrical body deformation process to the deformation work in the second arrangement process.

  As described above, in the method of manufacturing the laminated assembly according to the present embodiment, the flexible cylindrical body 10 is placed on the two support bars 3a and 3b so that the two support bars 3a and 3b are on the inside. A first arrangement step, and a cylindrical body deformation step of deforming the cylindrical body 10a covered between the two support rods 3a and 3b in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body 10a between the two support rods 3a and 3b. A second disposing step of covering the tubular body 10a deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b with a new tubular body 10b so that the tubular body 10a is on the inside, Thus, the flexible cylindrical body 10 can be integrated into a laminated assembly C by a simple operation.

After the cylindrical body deforming means 4 and the cylindrical body 10 are put on the two support bars 3a and 3b, the cylindrical body 10a is placed between the two support bars 3a and 3b in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body 10a. And a control unit 100 that performs control for covering the tubular body 10a that is deformed and deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b with the new tubular body 10b. For this reason, the apparatus 1 of this embodiment can make the cylindrical body 10 which has flexibility into the lamination | stacking assembly | assembly C by collecting a simple operation | work.

  In addition, as in the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment, the cylindrical body is at least once after the initial process, with the first layout process, the cylindrical body deformation process, and the second layout process as the initial processes. If the deformation step and the second arrangement step are sequentially performed, a large number of cylindrical bodies 10 can be integrated into a laminated assembly C.

  In the apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 100 covers the cylindrical body 10a deformed between the two support rods 3a and 3b with the new cylindrical body 10a, and then supports the two supports at least once. The cylindrical body 10a covered between the two support bars 3a and 3b is deformed between the bars 3a and 3b in the direction perpendicular to the cylindrical body 10a, and further deformed between the two support bars 3a and 3b. By performing control for covering the cylindrical body 10a with the new cylindrical body 10b so that the cylindrical body 10a is on the inner side, a large number of the cylindrical bodies 10 are combined into a laminated assembly C. be able to.

  In addition, as in the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment, in the second arrangement step, at least the new cylindrical body 10b is guided to a predetermined position, and the new cylindrical body 10b is moved to the two support rods 3a, If it is the process of covering the tubular body 10a deformed between 3b, the new tubular body 10b can be covered more reliably, and the workability is improved.

  In the apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the tubular body guide means 5 that guides the tubular body 10 to a predetermined position is provided, and the new tubular body 10 can be covered more reliably, thereby improving workability. .

  In particular, in the apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the cylindrical body guide means 5 includes a shaft 5a that can protrude toward the cylindrical body supply means 2, and a direction around the shaft 5a from the tip portion of the shaft 5a opposite to the protruding direction. And a plurality of guide members 5b that are expandable in the direction.

The first cylindrical body 10a is placed on the two support rods 3a and 3b so that the two support rods 3a and 3b are on the inside. It can also be a process. In this case, the cylindrical body 10a can be covered with the new cylindrical body 10b more reliably by deforming the cylindrical body 10a so that the cylindrical body 10a is rounded to a small extent when viewed from the axial cross-sectional view (planar view).
