Support plate comprises a plurality of runners that cooling fluid offered its back side.Referring to Figure 4 and 5 B, will be described these runners.These runners comprise fluid intake 428a and 428b, and adjustable aperture 430a and 430b and groove 432a and 432b form in upper support plate 124 and bottom support casting 126 respectively.These runners comprise that also a plurality of outlet 434a and the 436a that form shown in Fig. 5 B reaches a plurality of outlet 434b and the 436b that forms in bottom support casting 126 in upper support plate 124. Fluid intake 428a and 428b are communicated with groove 432a and 432b through adjustable port 430a and 430b respectively.Outlet 434a and 434b and 436a and 436b are communicated with groove 432a and 432b respectively.Cooling fluid enters groove 432a by inlet 428a through aperture 430a, flows out the upper bar 60a as shown in Figure 4 of cooling contact upper support plate 124, the back side of 60b by outlet 434a and 436a.Similarly, cooling fluid enters groove 432b by inlet 428b through aperture 430b, flows out the lower pole 62a of cooling contact bottom support casting 126, the back side of 62b by outlet 434b and 436b.
When preheating sheet material, found only to heat sheet material, and it is contacted with the surface of low-temperature surface place bar, so that the fold setting is not enough.The thermal capacity of thin plate is very low, so before the fold of point forms, just promptly the be cooled surface cool of device of the plate that has been heated.If do not reach deformation temperature during the plate contact lever, the bending force deficiency that is applied is so that plate forms the fold of point.Be heated to deformation temperature by bar subsequently and can make plate produce slack, the result can form coarse half-space structure.For anti-appearance of planting phenomenon here, plate be in the bar position contacting before, bar must be heated to the temperature that makes the plate distortion at least.Also must make sheet material consistent with the wedge angle of wedge angle shown in the label among Fig. 4 68 and 70 of the bar of half-space processing unit (plant) immediately when contacting with bar, and before the stabilization temperature that temperature is reduced to plate under the plate deformation temperature the instantaneous shape that makes it have fold.Therefore, the bar of half-space processing unit (plant) of the present invention must carry out temperature cycles, when plate formalizes to fold on this device, is recycled to the stabilization temperature of plate, and the deformation temperature of getting back to plate then is so that get ready for the lower part plate.In addition, when plate when entering roll gap 106 place contact levers, plate can be heated in advance the temperature that makes the plate distortion substantially.For the low very thin plate of thermal capacity, it is unnecessary heating for plate in advance, because firm contact lever, this plate will reach deformation temperature rapidly.Heavier plate must heat in advance.
Plate and bar are when covering in 110, and they are to be under the deformation temperature.After they leave shell 110, drop to stabilization temperature.Shell 128 remains on the stabilization temperature near plate usually.When plate does not reach stabilization temperature, or the shape that bent of half-space structure is not when accurately being formalized, and plate should not leave bar.For aramiol paper, as the paper made from polymer (m-phenylene isophthalamide), its deformation temperature near or surpass glass transformation temperature and be lower than the temperature that makes the paper thermal decomposition or obviously make the paper variable color.Stabilization temperature is the temperature that is starkly lower than deformation temperature, and like this, the half-space structure can not deform again, but stabilization temperature is too not low, so that make the heating again of bar be difficult to carry out.Stabilization temperature " locking " or determined the shape of the bar in plate.
In addition, in the state lower plate that is subjected to tension force at bar 60a, 60b, 62a, the placement location of 62b, and when plate is on the bar maintains tension force onboard, these all are important.Because there is frictional force to exist, the import tension force when plate 98 enters the half-space processing unit (plant) among Fig. 3 can not pass to plate at plate by several bar 60a after the 60b, 62a and 62b.To some plate, when they shrank in cooling procedure, the tension force of plate strengthened; But to other plates, thermal expansion coefficient is low, so significantly do not shrink in cooling procedure.For such plate, adopt above-mentioned support plate 124 and 126 can realize the tensioning of plate.Support plate guarantee in the half-space structure, to be maintained as Fig. 4 in the wedge angle represented with label 68 and 70, and no matter at chain 70a, 70b, 72a, among the 72b, at bar 60a, 60b, 62a, 62b and in the variation of upper support plate 124 and bottom support casting 126 intermediate gaps.

According to the present invention, provide a kind of method of making the honeycomb core of hexagon lattice by honeycomb half-space structure.This method comprises the following steps: first binder component is coated onto on first group of peak, second binder component is coated onto on second group of peak, stacked half-space structure, so that first binder component on first group of peak is contacted with second binder component on second group of peak, thereby these two kinds of components are matched, with the half-space construction bonds together, form honeycomb core.Referring to Fig. 6 this method is described.Fig. 6 is the enlarged perspective of the part of half-space structure 25, and this half-space structure has been coated with at least a binding agent.As the description of top relevant Fig. 2 was pointed, the peak on the side of half-space structure was the relative paddy on this structure opposite side, and the paddy on this structure one side is the relative peak on its opposite side.The step that is coated with first binder component comprises first binder component is coated onto as on the peak on the side of this structure of representing with label 42 among Fig. 6.The step that is coated with second binder component comprise with second binder component be coated onto as among Fig. 6 with on the peak on the opposite side of this structure of label 42 ' represent.In the present invention, two kinds of binder components carry out secondary at half-space structure sheaf poststack and match, and two kinds of binder components of caking agent series of the present invention are contacted and solidify, and produce very strong bond effect.These binder components keep the thickness state in coating with in lamination process, so that keep sheet material to flush when it solidifies.
The step that is coated with first binder component comprises cyanate ester and epoxy resin is coated onto on first group of peak.Preferred first binder component is the composition of a kind of cyanate ester and epoxy resin.Cyanate ester such as Arocy B-30 can be from Hi-TEK Polymer Company, and the subsidiary of the Rhone Poulenc in the Louisville city of the Kentucky State has bought.Epoxy resin such as Epoxy Epon826 can buy from the shell chemical company in the Houston city of Texas.Following any material all can be used as first binder component: epoxides, polyester, polyimides, phenolic resins, polyureas, polyurethanes and above the bismaleimioles corresponding curing agent or the contact agent of listed any material can be used as second binder component.In first binder component, be to reduce the viscosity of cyanate ester with the purpose of epoxy resin.Heating can promote the curing of binder system.First component can be solidified in the long-time back self of several hours or several days, or uses contact agent or make it in seconds solidify fast by heating.The step that is coated with second binder component comprises epoxy resin and contact agent is coated onto on second group of peak.The epoxy resin that preferred second binder component is first binder component and a kind of contact agent such as 2 ethyl hexanoic acid zinc soap.In second binder component, be to increase the viscosity of contact agent with the purpose of epoxy resin.The epoxy resin of first binder component and second binder component is preferably identical, but also can be inequality.
According to the present invention, a kind of honeycomb core of hexagonal is provided, the method of making this honeycomb core is: first binder component is coated onto on first group of peak, second binder component is coated onto on second group of peak, stacked this structure makes first binder component on first group of peak contact with second binder component on second group of peak.The honeycomb core of another hexagonal is provided, and the method for making this honeycomb core is, cyanate ester and epoxy resin are coated onto on first group of peak, and epoxy resin and contact agent are coated onto on second group of peak.A kind of honeycomb core of hexagonal also is provided, and the method for making this honeycomb core is, first binder component is coated onto on the peak on the side of this structure, second binder component is coated onto on the peak on the opposite side of this structure.
According to the present invention, provide a kind of method of making the honeycomb core of hexagonal with honeycomb half-space structure.The step of this method is, the adhesive bond agent is coated onto on the peak of half-space structure, and when binding agent keeps viscosity stacked this half-space structure.Record under the temperature when viscosity of adhesive bond agent of the present invention combines in the both sides of half-space structure and be at least 500 centipoises (cp).Applying step comprises, first binder component 48 is coated onto on first group of peak, and second binder component 50 is coated onto on second group of peak.First group of peak position is in a side of half-space structure, and for example the upside of half-space structure comprises the peak that scribbles first binder component as shown in Figure 6.Second group of peak position is in the opposite side of half-space structure, and for example the downside of half-space structure comprises the peak that scribbles second binder component 50 as shown in Figure 6.The step that is coated with first binder component comprises, cyanate ester and epoxy resin is coated onto on first group of peak of a side of this structure; And the step that is coated with second binder component comprises, with preferably with the epoxy resin of first binder component but also can be on the peak of epoxy resin different with the epoxy resin of first binder component and the contact agent opposite side that is coated onto this structure.When the binding agent on the peak also keeps viscosity the half-space structure is cut into many.Transversely cutting half-space structure on the inclined-plane.Then that the sheet of half-space structure is mutually stacked.So just, formed honeycomb core as the hexagonal of representing with label 30 among Fig. 2.
The advantage that binder system of the present invention had is as follows.Each component is not by itself rapid curing, like this, after coating adhesive, has time enough that the sheet of half-space structure is sent to, cuts off location and stacked.Each component also has long working life, and promptly in operating process, they will at high temperature keep several hrs not decompose in the device of coating adhesive.In addition, each component will have enough flowabilities (promptly having low viscosity), so that be coated with straticulation, enough viscosity is arranged again, can not flow or drip.In addition, each component should be viscosity under stacked temperature, and like this, accurately being positioned under the little perturbed force effect of being reached in lamination process can be maintained, and until these binder component gels, forms very strong bonding.In addition, under hot conditions, these binding agents can the strong bonding (that is, their quick gel time is about 1 minute or shorter) of very fast formation.Every kind of wet component and honeycomb half-space structure all have good adhesion strength, and this can form the thin of easy coating and coating uniformly.In addition, the binding agent that has solidified has the high temperature drag (being high glass transformation temperature) that is about 177 ℃.
And binder system of the present invention is solvent-free.In utilizing the system of solvent, when solvent evaporates, may produce bubble between two half-space sheets of bonding, reduce adhesion strength.The solvent of evaporation also may cause environmental hazard, it must be removed.Therefore, must comprise that with other binding agent that is used for reaching low viscous solvent compares, binder system of the present invention is good.
In addition, in the time will descending a slice half-space structure to be put into the top of honeycomb core, binder system of the present invention liquid state in a flowable.This guarantees that each binder component thoroughly mixes mutually, and the uneven part in the peak of inflow half-space structure, and the place that is pressed together at the peak forms big bonded areas.The low viscosity binders of thick-layer is wasted binding agent, flows into the unwanted position of this device and honeycomb core, becomes the inferior product of load-bearing property.Full-bodied binding agent is used for big area bonded can not flow into rough place and fully mixing.If use a kind of " doing " to substitute binding agent, when top half-space structure was placed on the honeycomb core, if heating, binding agent can be enough to become liquid, form bonding, but this needed the time, during this period of time, may produce the phenomenon of misalignment.Need elevated pressures in addition, so that form the excellent contact bonding, this pressure may make honeycomb core produce excessive deformation.
An alternative embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 7 A and 7B.This embodiment comprises and the half-space structure is cut into many step.According to this embodiment, the step that is coated with first binder component comprises on the peak with every side of the first of first binder component 48 ' be coated onto half-space structure.The step that is coated with second binding agent comprises on the peak with every side of the second portion of second binder component 50 ' be coated onto half-space structure.First and second binder components can be but be not limited to the first and second above-mentioned binder components.Stacked step shown in Fig. 7 B comprises with each part and is cut into many, alternately will be put into the sheet that first is cut on the sheet that is cut into second portion, like this, the peak of the sheet of first and second parts contacts, thereby, first and second binder components are mixed.Should see that method according to this embodiment of the invention when the half-space structure is a feed or when being cut into pieces continuously, can be carried out.According to the present invention, also provide a kind of honeycomb core of using about the hexagonal of Fig. 7 A and the described method manufacturing of 7B.

Above-mentioned be used for being coated onto the structural method of half-space and can finish with the coating adhesive device 24 of Fig. 1 shown in usually to a kind of binder component of major general.Fig. 9 A is an enlarged perspective, expresses coating adhesive device 24 in more detail.This device comprises that at least at least a binder component of a kind of usefulness is coated with the gravure roll of half-space device.Represent a gravure roll with label 138 among Fig. 9 A.This at least a gravure roll comprises as above-mentioned first gravure roll 138 and second gravure roll 114 that is used for being coated with at the opposite side of half-space structure second binder component that are used for being coated with in a side of half-space structure first binder component.First gravure roll 138 is arranged in first adhesive of groove 43 of splendid attire first binder component.Second gravure roll is arranged in second adhesive of groove 45 of splendid attire second binder component.First and second gravure roll 138 and 144 each all form many pits 141 and 143 above the roller respectively.First binder component is maintained in the pit 141 on first gravure roll 138, and second binder component is maintained in the pit 143 on second gravure roll 144.First and second binder components should be coated onto well on the peak of every side of half-space structure.
This device also comprises makes the half-space structure paste the device of gravure roll.This rackwork is preferably resilient.This rackwork preferably includes at least one backing roll.Represent a backing roll with label 130 among Fig. 9 A.Comprise many bars 137 that are used to support the half-space structure on the surface of backing roll 130.137 on per two adjacent bars all form an interval 127.In addition, rackwork can comprise that any other makes the half-space structure paste the device of gravure roll, includes but not limited to transmission device or cog belt.This rackwork also can comprise makes the half-space structure paste second backing roll 132 of second gravure roll.Comprise on the surface of backing roll 132 and manyly be used to support the half-space structure and make its bar that is pasting second gravure roll 144 139.Between per two adjacent bars 139, all form an interval 129.First and second backing rolls 130 and 132 preferably resilient, specifically, bar 137 and 139 should be resilient.The degree of depth at the interval of first and second backing rolls should be greater than the height at the peak of half-space structure.Backing roll 130 contacts the half-space structure with 132 at contact-making surface 120 places, and disengages at 129 places, interval and half-space structure, shown in Fig. 9 B.The peak of half-space structure one side is towards the direction of the bar 137 that leaves first backing roll.
Referring to Fig. 9 B, thus this at paddy 44 places rather than at the peak layout of 42 places contacts half-space structure support equably that for guaranteeing to provide it is important that uniform adhesive layer is provided at surperficial 120 places.29 must provide the gap at interval, so that second backing roll 132 does not contact the adhesive layer 48 on the peak 42.When the half-space structure was positioned on first backing roll 130, even without adhesive layer, if 129 conform to the theoretical profile on peak 42 and inclined-plane 46 at interval, the actual height at peak was different with theoretical level, always can not take place so conform to completely.If peak 42 is than " matching " degree of depth of 129 is big at interval, paddy 44 just can not engage contact surface 120 fully, thus peak 42 ' on just can not coat binding agent equably.
The peak of half-space structure is towards the direction of the bar that leaves each corresponding backing roll, these peaks contact each corresponding first and second gravure roll, therefore, first binder component contacts the peak on the side, peak on second binder component contact opposite side is so that be coated onto first and second binding agents on the half-space structure.Specifically, the paddy 44 on half-space structure one side is contacted with bar on second backing roll 132; Make peak 42 on the half-space structure opposite side ' towards the direction of leaving the bar 139 on second backing roll 132.Similarly, make paddy 44 on the half-space structure opposite side ' contact with bar on first backing roll 130; Make peak 42 on the half-space structure opposite side towards the direction of leaving the bar 137 on first backing roll 130.Therefore, the peak on first binder component contact half-space structure, one side, the peak on second binder component contact half-space structure opposite side is so that be coated onto first and second binder components on the half-space structure.
Motor 452 drives first and second backing rolls 130 and 132 by suitable gear drive, and they are rotated with identical speed together.Motor 454 drives first gravure roll 138, and motor 456 drives second gravure roll 144, and first and second gravure roll are driven respectively.Gravure roll 138 and 144 is rotated with identical speed as backing roll 130 and 132.First gravure roll, 138, the first adhesive of groove 43 and motor 454 are installed on the planker 455, make it reciprocating along the direction of arrow 458 indications, press to or leave backing roll 130 with pressurized strut 457.Second gravure roll, 144, the second adhesive of groove 45 and motor 456 are done similar arrangement, its direction along arrow 460 indications is moved, press to or leave backing roll 132.When gravure roll when backing roll is return, they are driven separately by separately motor 454 and 456 respectively, so that stir their binder liquids separately.
The pressure system of representing with label 436 among Fig. 9 A comprises vacuum source 437 and pressure source 462.All to provide vacuum in each space 127 and 129 places, so that the half-space structure is affixed to or leaves first and second backing rolls by at least one vacuum duct 131 on the appreciable backing roll 132 of ability in Fig. 9 B.By on the noncontact part of giving backing roll the vacuum duct being set, the peak of the half-space structure on contact surface 120 is indeformable, because if the vacuum duct is arranged on the contact surface, then the peak of half-space structure may be out of shape.This is for realizing between the binding agent on the pit surface of the Zone Full that makes the peak and first and second gravure roll that excellent contact is important.Backing roll is communicated with vacuum source 436 in the slewing area of about 270 degree, is communicated with pressure source 462 in the slewing area of about 90 degree, and this is to be determined by a pair of dividing plate that does not rotate 134 that constitutes in backing roll and 136.When vacuum was cancelled at the dividing plate place, the pressure of increase guaranteed that the half-space structure must separate with backing roll.
Shown in Fig. 9 A, the half-space structure is pressed on the backing roll 130 and 132 and contacts with 144 with gravure roll 138 respectively.Gravure roll 138 has circular surfaces 140 and contacts with the liquid tank 43 of first component in the two component binding agents.Gravure roll 144 has circular surfaces 145 and contacts with the liquid tank 45 of second component in the two component binder systems.The circular surfaces 140 of gravure roll 138 scribbles the film of first component, and the circular surfaces 145 of gravure roll 144 scribbles the film of second component.A scraping blade 142 is scraped the circular surfaces 140 of gravure roll 138 totally, binder component is only stayed in the pit on surface of gravure roll 138.Scraping blade 147 is the circular surfaces 145 of scraping gravure roll 144 similarly.The thickness of binding agent can be accurately controlled in this arrangement, and thereby control be coated onto the amount of binding agent of half-space structure.Utilize the thickness of the layer of first binder component that coating adhesive device of the present invention applies respectively and second binder component can be identical, but be not must be identical.Transfer to the drop of the binder component of the structural dispersion of half-space with coating adhesive device of the present invention, leave gravure roll 138 and at 144 o'clock, be combined into continuous film in the half-space structure, or the film surface.

Referring to Fig. 9 A, the half-space structure 25 that must will be coated with binding agent is directed to the straight part in top of conveyer 28.The half-space structure that should avoid scribbling the adhesive bond agent contacts any surface.Therefore, the air baffle 442 shown in Fig. 9 A and a pair of transparent end plate 444 and 446 are fixed to the support 304 of conveyer shown in Figure 13 and being installed on the guard shield 305 on the support 304 of conveyer.Can only see the part of the support 304 of conveyer from Figure 12 and Figure 13, support 304 is static parts of conveyer.Plate 444 is with 446 guiding and support the binding agent that the half-space structure does not contact the viscosity on the peak.Plate 444 and 446 width than half-space structure separate a little again.There are many holes that communicate with pressure air source in the central authorities on the surface of air baffle 442.Pressure air source is the blower fan 449 shown in Fig. 9 A.When sensor 440 detected endless belt, conveyer 28 was sent the half-space structure to a regular length, stopped then, so that the half-space structure is cut into slices.When conveyer stopped, because the coating adhesive device is sent the half-space structure to, endless belt descended, till endless belt is detected by sensor 440.Conveyer is sent to,, the coating adhesive device will be slowed down or shut down if conveyer is not sent to.
Conveyer comprises and manyly is connected slide plate 139 and 145 as what the half-space structure was supported in Figure 10 A~10C and shown in Figure 11 being used to.Slide plate 139 and 145 is placed on the V-shaped groove 302 shown in Figure 12 and 13, and V-shaped groove 302 is fixed on the support 304, and a slide plate chamber 175 is arranged in the V-shaped groove 302. Many surfaces 181 and 183 that are used for supporting plate 139 and 145 are arranged on groove 302.Slide plate 139 is connected with the pivot 146 shown in the 10C with 145 usefulness Figure 10 B.Slide plate 139 and 145 comprises many cramp bar 141a-141f shown in Figure 10 A-10C, their pitch approximately and the bar 60a of half-space processing unit (plant) 20,60b, the pitch of 62a and 62b is identical.Between the adjacent bar of each shown in Figure 10 A-10C, form many spaces, as 143a and 143b.One side of the cramp bar 141a-141f contact half-space structure of slide plate is the paddy of downside.
Shearing device of the present invention is combined with actual conditions, on the top each other of half-space structure, when mutually stacked, the sheet of the vicinity of half-space structure is accurately alignd.The number of the bar on each contiguous slide plate can be odd number or even number.In a preferred embodiment, the length of slide plate 139 and 145 from the pivot to the pivot of conveyer is depicted as 10 1/2 pitches as 133 and 135 among Figure 10 A respectively.Slide plate has the bar of different numbers and at interval, and for example, slide plate 145 can have 10 bars and 11 intervals, and respectively shown in 141a and 143b, and slide plate 139 can have 11 bars and 10 intervals.It is the slide plate of odd number that conveyer calibration on the direction shown in the arrow 151 of Figure 10 B is restricted to, so that obtain the recruitment of 1/2 pitch, like this, blade 157 specifies a side of bar at first to cut first, as using the downstream shown in the label 147 among Figure 10 B; Specify a side of bar to cut second then, as using the upstream side shown in the label 149 among Figure 10 C.Blade is maintained fixed along conveyer, and conveyer is sent the distance of repetition to, and the integer pitch that this distance must equal the half-space structure all the time adds half pitch.The lifting platform arm 31 necessary forward and backward mobile half pitch of side direction as the distance between 153 and 155 two positions among Figure 10 B and the 10C, pick up half-space structure alternately.
Slide plate 139 and 145 with cramp bar 141a-141f is connected on the endless chain 300.Lazy sprocket wheel 33 that slide plate 139 and 145 usefulness are shown in Figure 12 and driving wheel 35 drive and supporting.Axle 306 is supported on the support 304, and lazy sprocket wheel 33 is housed on it.Axle 308 also is supported on the support 304, and drive sprocket 35 is housed on it.Be installed to CD-ROM drive motor/gear reduction unit 310 driving shafts 308 of support 304 back.The motor of motor/reductor 310 is dc servomotors, can accurately control it.The regulating wheel 312 and a plurality of backing roll 314 that are installed on the support 304 make chain 300 tensions.As shown in figure 12, the 299 pairs of lazy sprocket wheels 33 of friction catch mechanism that are installed on the frame 304 work, so that make it be in tensioning state when chain advances.
Blade 157 is arranged on the entrance point of adjacent side conveyer shown in Figure 1 28.When the sensor shown in Fig. 9 A 440 detected half-space structure 25, conveyer 28 moved on to the right of Fig. 1.For example, the move right distance of pitch of 220 1/2 half-space structure of conveyer, it releases 1.2 meters from loop with the half-space structure continuously at the port of export of coating adhesive device 24.Conveyer stops then, blade 157 with the half-space structure at adjacent cramp bar 141a shown in Figure 10 A and 13 and 143b place, the interval transversely cutting between the 141b, the blade that has advanced herein with 157 ' represent.This is the inclined-plane transversely cutting with the more than half lattice structures in position of the line 150 of the middle graph 6 of half-space structure between Qi Feng and paddy, and like this, available lifting platform arm 31 picks up single half-space structure.Lifting platform arm 31 moves on to the top of the sheet on the conveyer then, stops in the position near sheet very.Conveyer 28 guarantees that continuous half-space structure is accurately positioned, so that cut into slices with blade 157, the sheet location of guaranteeing to downcut is so that pick up it with lifting platform arm 31.Make the conveyer that on the bar 141a-141d of slide plate, maintains the half-space structure accurately stop particular importance, like this, can the half-space structure be cut off along the inclined-plane.This position must be irrelevant with the gap accumulative total of bar to bar and slide block to slide block, and it is irrelevant influence the friction of the size between slide plate, has nothing to do with the inertia of slide plate and CD-ROM drive motor and the variable that rubs.
Honeycomb half-space structure is cut into slices during not dried and toughness after being coated with binding agent and at binding agent.Cutting is to have carried out along line 150 across 46 places, inclined-plane being coated with the peak-to-peak of binding agent, so blade do not contact binding agent, and blade is covered by wet sticking binding agent, can overslaugh accurately cut.Should see that the use of cutting along inclined-plane of the present invention with binding agent is irrelevant.No matter use and disuse binding agent, cut the advantage that the half-space structure all has the half-space structure of avoiding waste along the inclined-plane.Cutting can and sent at the top of a slice after the length that an integer pitch that equals the half-space structure adds half pitch in the terminal of a slice down and carry out, so that make the alignment of cutting edge, does not need finishing.In addition, do not need to stir the sheet of half-space structure of the present invention, this has reduced operating time and expense, also has simultaneously to be used for accurately leading at stacked carriage.Make the end of the sheet of sheet alignment.Because be not coated with binding agent on the inclined-plane, on the inclined-plane of half-space structure the cutting just eliminated binding agent is being arranged on the inclined-plane and when stacked, on the terminal guide plate, have binding agent may.On the contrary, when cutting on the inclined-plane that is scribbling binding agent, blade must be cut binding agent, thereby gathered binding agent, must regularly it be cleaned out.Equally, when the sheet of stacked cutting-out, warpage makes progress when they contact with the terminal guide plate along the end of the sheet of bonding position cutting.This warpage that makes progress is exposed to the terminal guide plate with binding agent, the terminal guide plate that this causes the adhesion of sheet and/or stains next sheet.
Position by feeler is together with the motor speed of control conveyer, and device of the present invention guarantees that the half-space structure accurately stops and locating, so that cut.Therefore, according to the present invention, for the device that cuts to half-space structure location comprises a side and the opposite side that is used for alternately making the contiguous shearing device of a bar, so that it is cut off across the inclined-plane of this structure.Comprise a plurality of sensors 316,318,320,322,310, one rotary encoders as described below 298 of the motor of 324, one motor/reductors and an aforesaid scattered control system 38 alternately for the device of a bar location.The positioned alternate device selectively comprises the mechanism any machinery or electricity that is used for to a bar location on the conveyer.As shown in figure 11, conveyer 28 has a slide plate sensor 316, a plurality ofly is used to survey the position of the slide plate that stops the 10th band bar such as slide plate 145 and stops the slide plate of the 11st band bar such as the bar sensor 318 and 320 of the position of slide plate 139.All sensors 316,318,320,322 and 324 all is installed in above the groove 302.As shown in figure 13, the absolute altitudes that are installed in above the groove 302 of sensor 316 will make this sensor can detect the limit 317 of the back of slide plate; The absolute altitude that bar sensor 318 as shown in figure 13 is installed on the groove 302 will make these detectors can detect the limit 319 of the bar on each slide plate.In the process of sending continuous half-space structure to, chain 300 high-speed mobile are so must deceleration before stopping to move.Make the approximate length transposition of conveyer 28 by the sheet of for example being scheduled to by the rotary encoder 298 of axle on 308 that is contained in as shown in figure 12.The motor 310 of motor/reductor, encoder 298 and sensor 318,320,322 and 324 actions are gone up and scattered control system 38 associated.When sensor 316 was surveyed, the limit of the back of the slide plate of the slide plate front that is used to cut off was passed through.When sensor 316 detected the limit of back of back to back slide plate of the slide plate front that take place to cut off, the motor 310 of motor/reductor was subjected to the instruction of scattered control system 38 as shown in Figure 1, decelerate.Monitor input signal then from all the sensors.If scattered control system will be carried out rupturing operation on the slide plate of the tenth bar, when sensor 318 detects the limit of front of bar 141c and sensor 320 when also not detecting the space on limit of back of the bar 141d that exceeds outside several bars, sensor 318 and 320 is all with " conducting ".The size in the space of sensor element is installed and adjusted to being used to of selecting which bar to survey to depend on to obtain on groove 302.In the position of this " conducting ", motor 310 is accepted instruction and is stopped operating.When stopping operating, bar 141a and 141b on the slide plate 145 in sensor downstream are positioned at the blade place just, so that the upstream side of the bar 141a on the slide plate shown in Figure 10 B 145 cuts off it across the inclined-plane of half-space structure.It is useful that the time of utilizing two bar sensors and plate sensor to determine to stop conveyer provides large-scale variation to the response of giving 38 pairs of sensors of scattered control system.In addition, if sensor 320 detects the space in addition, limit of the back of a bar, it is too far away that this shows that conveyer has moved, is in coarse off-position, and these sensors can find that conveyer work is undesired.If adopted very reliable control system, have only a sensor to be used for accurately stopping conveyer reliably, as the sensor 316 on the limit of detection skateboard, and other device can be used for determining whether conveyer is working properly.
After conveyer is accurately positioned, the half-space structure on the slide plate 145 of the 10th bar of blade energy crosscut, thus downcutting a slice half-space structure, it is stacked that it is used for.When this sheet was transferred to stacked laminator, by making a plurality of slide plate transpositions, the length of a slice freely sent the half-space structure forward to by conveyer, and stop at the position of the slide plate 139 of the 11st bar at this moment.Position for the slide plate that is parked in the 11st bar, sensor 322 is used to monitor the position of different a pair of bars with 324 together with the slide plate sensor, sensor 322 is different with 324 position, distance to each other is the half pitch of half-space structure, and leaves sensor 318 and 320 bars of surveying that adopted in the shut-down operation in front.The method of operating that stops just replacing sensors 318 and 320 with sensor 322 and 324 with above-mentioned identical.When conveyer stopped, the position that bar 141a on the slide plate 139 of the 11st bar in sensor downstream and 141b are parked in blade just was so that the upstream side of the bar 141b on the slide plate shown in Figure 10 c 145 cuts off the half-space structure across the inclined-plane.
Shearing device of the present invention also comprises a pressure system, and the purposes of this system is, when the half-space structure being sent to and continuous half-space structure cut into slices, the half-space structure is remained on the conveyer; Pick up in the process of sheet at lifting platform arm 31, sheet and conveyer are broken away from.Comprise as shown in figure 12 a plurality of pressure source 336a~c by the pressure system of the total expression of the label 334 of Fig. 1, valve 338a~c, exhaust outlet 330,331 and 332 and vacuum source 341a~c, valve 343a~c and vacuum port 171,173 and 333.Pressure source 336a, 336b and 336c flow to the valve 338a of the air stream of exhaust outlet 332,331 and 330 with being used for control respectively from pressure source respectively, and 338b links to each other with 338c.Vacuum source 341a, 341b and 341c respectively be used to control the vacuum valve 343a of vacuum source to vacuum port 333,173 and 171,343b links to each other with 343c.Valve 343a~c and 338a~c are by scattered control system 38 controls.For ease of understanding, only describe three vacuum ports and three exhaust outlets, but some more again or lessly more all be fine.Each vacuum source can be the vacuum blower or the pump of separate unit, or a pump is loaded onto the gas path plate that links to each other with all valve 343a~c.Equally, each pressure source can be the compressor or the blower fan of separate unit, or a compressor is loaded onto the gas path plate that links to each other with all valve 338a~c.Through port 171,173 and 333 vacuum that provide remain on the half-space structure on the conveyer, be cut off up to this structure, the lifting platform arm has performed till the preparation of the sheet that picks up cutting-out, and at this moment through port 171,173, the vacuum that provides is cut off, pressure to exhaust outlet 330,331 and 332 is switched on, so that the sheet that will downcut transfers to the lifting platform arm.The vacuum that through port 333 provides is continued to be kept, so that the leading edge of half-space structure is remained on the conveyer.

Transmit head and be positioned at the conveyer top, the transfer of scattered control system 38 beginning sheets when the sheet of half-space structure being transferred to when transmitting head and going up from conveyer, being made.Along conveyer,, sequentially carry out Vacuum solutions and remove and the pressure blowing to next region of no pressure from a region of no pressure, the present invention adopts this method little by little the sheet of half-space structure to be transferred on the bar 162,163 that transmits head from slide plate cramp bar 141a~141f.To transmit a vacuum 167 and be communicated with, pick up the sheet of half-space structure.The first step of transfer method of the present invention is the vacuum that is cut to mouth 171, is communicated with exhaust outlet 330 and 331 simultaneously.This can blow off the end of sheet, and this end is positioned at the drive end of conveyer 28 shown in the label 342 of Figure 12; Sheet moves up, and is picked up in the vacuum that acts on that part of that a transmission 31b produces by vacuum source 167.Next exhaust outlet and vacuum port cut off and be communicated with, the bottom burst or the like that blows off, blade is positioned at the end of conveyer, is cut off up to the vacuum to mouthfuls 173, goes the pressure of exhaust outlet 332 to be connected, the last part sheet be transferred to transmit head and go up till.This process is very fast, uses less than 0.25 second.Even the pitch of slide plate chain is different with the pitch of transmitting head, guarantee that also sheet accurately shifts.Should alternately keep vacuum and sufficient pressure air is provided, so that the vacuum that is provided is provided.In the process of transfer sheet gradually, valve 342a still keeps the state that leads to, like this, provides vacuum continuously, and the leading edge of the half-space structure on conveyer is held in place.Vacuum is removed in this zone and pressure is dried along Fig. 1, and 11 and 12 conveyer moves from right to left, and the sheet of half-space structure is transferred on the lifting platform arm 31 from right to left gradually.Be described from right to left though be to be noted that the operation of conveyer and transmission head, from left to right operate system of the present invention and belong to the scope of the invention.
By the sheet that shift to downcut gradually, sheet is never all freely discharged, it always with conveyer 28 and lifting platform arm 31 in one.Another or two contacts.To guarantee accurately, repeatedly sheet to be placed on the arm.When arm 31 was placed on the top flat of back to back half-space structure on the stacked core 30 that begins already, this accuracy was critical.Lifting platform arm 31 is positioned at the top of core and descends, and the sheet that is transmitted is contacted with core.When being put down by the sheet that transmitted when contact with the top flat of core, sticking binder component sticks together gently, thereby keeps the accuracy of placement.Remove the vacuum source 167 that transmits on the 31b, moment will offer the mouth 164,165 in the bar 162 and 163 that transmits head from the air pressure of pressure source 168, thereby sheet is decontroled.Make the upwards withdrawal of lifting platform arm then.
According to the present invention, provide a kind of sheet that is used for stacked many half-space structures, so that make the device of hexagon honeycomb core.As mentioned above, stacked laminator of the present invention is represented with label 29 in Fig. 1.This device comprises and is used for stacked half-space structure, and a slice half-space structure is placed on the top that comprises the lamination of a slice half-space structure at least, the device that the peak of a slice is contacted with the peak of contiguous a slice.Be to be noted that this half-space structure comprises single sheet or continuous sheet here.Stacked laminator comprises lifting platform arm 31 and lamination carriage 32.Figure 14 A, 14B and 15 are lamination carriage cross-sectional view of the present invention.Shown in Figure 14 A, the lamination carriage is used to limit the cover that ambient air flows around being included in stacked sheet.The cover of in Figure 14 A, representing with label 34 comprise the lamination that is positioned at sheet over top top 185 and be positioned at lower part 187 below the top of lamination.
Stacked laminator of the present invention also comprises a lowering or hoisting gear 170, and shown in Figure 14 A, it comprises a flat board 172 with a plurality of guide rods 174 and an elevating screws 178.Stacked laminator comprises that also a plurality of end guide plate 176, each guide post 174 that touch with edge joint honeycomb core all pass through a longitudinal supporting seat 180, spiral 178 is by drive nut 182, nut 182 drives the flat board 172 of spiral and installation, and end plate 176 and bar 174 are up and down.Many secondary guide 184 are fixedly installed on the lower part 187 of lamination carriage cover 34.When the sheet with the half-space structure was placed in the lamination bracket lifting device, these sheets were positioned on the base of flat board 172, contact with guide post 174, but separate with secondary guide 184.
Stacked laminator of the present invention also comprises the Differential Pressure Unit that is positioned under the lamination, is used for lamination ambient air pressure is reduced to the air pressure that is lower than the lamination top, so that sheet is forced together, forms honeycomb core.Differential Pressure Unit preferably includes an air-introduced machine 190a and the circulating fan 190b shown in Figure 14 A.Air-introduced machine 190a produces vacuum in a side that is communicated with conduit 188, produces pressure in a side that is communicated with conduit 189 and conduit 212, shown in Figure 14 a.Enter conduit 186 after the circulating fan 190b air stream supercharging of self-induced-air machine 190a in the future, the vacuum of leading to lamination can provide consistent, equally distributed power, and the sheet of half-space structure is forced together, and becomes accurate honeycomb core.
The purpose of using end guide plate 176 is the excessive air stream that prevents the place, end, and the end of the honeycomb core of alignment assembling so that align with the sheet of the half-space structure that is right after, and when every half-space structure is fallen on the honeycomb core, is avoided their end is upset.Preferably make the surperficial roughening of end guide plate, for example, coarse to being enough to resist the vacuum power that imposes on sheet by vacuum source 190a.Coarse surface can provide can resist and balance acts on vacuum power on the end of cutting of sheet.The surface of a preferred terminal guide plate has the silicon bonding layer that coarse thickness is about the curing of 0.08cm.Another surface has the bar of the protuberance of many length directions along plate.
This device also is included in sheet and carries out when stacked heater to the sheet heating.This heater comprises the heating member that is positioned at the top and one of the lower part that are cover at least.A heating member 196 is positioned at lower part 187 shown in Figure 14 A.Lower part 187 also comprises circulating fan 198, and it inhales air by heating member 196 and with the bottom of air-flow row to cover 34 downwards.A heating member 464 also is installed in the conduit 186, and this heater 464 makes in conduit 186 and the lower part 187 and keeps temperature.In utilizing the preferred embodiment of above-mentioned binder system, the temperature that heating member 464 keeps is about 170-190 ℃.Keep this temperature that binding agent continue to be solidified and the air in the lamination carriage is kept dry, prevent that sheet from absorbing moisture, moisture can cause undesirable expansion of some material that processing half-space structure is used.
In addition, stacked laminator of the present invention comprises the heater that is used to heat the air that leaks by cover.The device that is used to heat by covering the air that leaks preferably includes the conduit shown in Figure 14 A 189 that is communicated with the top 185 of covering.Have in the conduit 189 flow low be heated to about 170-190 ℃ air in a preferred embodiment, thereby restriction can make the entering of air at room temperature of the not heating that the temperature of sheet descends.If air in extraneous suction lead 189, must have heating member in the conduit 189.As a kind of selection, air can enter conduit 189 by conduit 188 from the conduit 186 of heating and recycle, and in this case, conduit 189 has not required heating member, and it only plays air conduit.Side plate 191 is housed on top 185, and when every is carried out when stacked, lifting platform arm 31 enters from here.Shown in Figure 14 a, on the top of cover 34 and the bond sites of lower part 185 and 187 flashboard 193 that is contained on the cover 34 is arranged, available its adjustment flows freely into the air capacity of the lower part 187 and the honeycomb core of flowing through respectively from conduit 189.After the sheet with each half-space structure is placed on the honeycomb core, by drive nut 182 lowering or hoisting gear is descended, till the top of the sheet that has just placed was detected by the transmitter 192 of a plurality of vertical pile and receiver 194, transmitter 192 and receiver 194 played the upper and lower detector.Top transmitter and receiver be not crested and the still crested of lower transmission device and receiver exactly, and at this moment, control system 38 is sent the signal that stops to lowering or hoisting gear.Each sheet is all repeated like this.As a result, honeycomb core descends gradually, leaves the air stream from conduit 186.
Stacked owing in the cover of heating, carrying out, in the time of stacked every, can guarantee that binding agent solidifies rapidly.In addition, because moisture and temperature influence the size of sheet significantly, in the cover of heating, carry out the stacked dimensionally stable that keeps honeycomb core.Provide vacuum to produce pressure reduction between the remainder of the top of the top flat of core and core when stacked, the sheet that this pressure reduction will just place is pressed in firmly and is fixed on above the honeycomb core.This pressure reduction is guaranteed excellent contact between the peak of sheet of half-space structure, therefore first and second binder components can in conjunction with and curing, form firm bonding.Thereby, in the cover of the heating that provides vacuum, carry out the stacked accurate finished product honeycomb core that obtains, additional the seamed edge alignment hole or the hole of not adopting prior art and being caused after bonding and before final the use, must be eliminated these holes or hole.The honeycomb core that assembles has elasticity at vertical and machine direction, only has rigidity in cross-machine direction.When increasing the height of core, transverse elasticity can increase.If control stacked power absent-mindedly and with half-space alignment, distortion and not line up the sheet formation laminated construction that makes with independent be bad or impossible when making honeycomb core.The pressure of the caused reduction of vacuum that produces in the conduit 188 provides the control of needed stacked power, and securely top flat is pressed on the honeycomb core, when the binder component secondary mixes and begins to solidify, realized good bonding contact, can quicken to solidify from the high temperature air stream of conduit 186.
After honeycomb core was shaped fully, lowering or hoisting gear 170 rose, and the side door 200 on the top 185 of cover 34 is opened, and allows the honeycomb core that processes leave.After honeycomb core was removed, stacked laminator 29 was closed.The flat board 172 of the exemplar of cushion block with porous such as honeycomb core is ready to for the next honeycomb core of processing, on the top of the cushion block of porous, puts a flat cardboard or a thin corrosion resistant plate.This cushion block makes stable air stream flow to conduit 188 from conduit 186 when driving.When with lifting platform arm 31 first half-space structure being put into the top of cushion block, it adheres on the plate that is placed on the cushion block top, and this dimensional accuracy that guarantees a slice half-space structure under the alignment can be maintained.
After worker's the honeycomb core of being over is removed from the lamination carriage, put it in the stove and further solidify, to obtain the strongest adhesion strength.Being replaced by a technical scheme removing honeycomb core and close stacked laminator provides two lamination carriages and alternately carries out stacked at these two tray chambers.Another replacement scheme is to replace the dull and stereotyped of lowering or hoisting gear and provide vacuum and heat-seal around the honeycomb core that withdraws from a heating mantles with length of mobile ring wall, so just honeycomb core can be shifted out and cuts off on time manufactured honeycomb core continuously.
How the amplification sectional view of the stacked carriage 32 of Figure 15 presentation graphs 14A provides pressure reduction so that more completely describe, and the sheet of honeycomb core is forced together.As shown in figure 15, the chamber 202 that flows downward is arranged in the top 185, a lateral flow chamber 204 is arranged between conduit 186 and 188, a storeroom 206 is arranged below conduit 186 and 188.Lateral flow chamber 204 and storeroom 206 are parts of the lower part 187 of cover 34.The honeycomb core that assembles that is supported on the flat board 172 of lowering or hoisting gear of Figure 14 A is placed in the lamination carriage 32, and the top flat of honeycomb core is positioned at the outside of lateral flow chamber 204.Pressure P in the lateral flow chamber 204 LowBe lower than the pressure P of the chamber 202 that flows downward HighHoneycomb core 30 is by at the opening 214 that flows downward between chamber 204 and the lateral flow chamber 204 and to form.In cover 34, the plate 195 shown in Figure 14 B and 15 is arranged.Except adjustable flashboard 193 and terminal guide plate 176, plate 195 is controlled air-flows and limit an opening 214 around the top of honeycomb core.The opening 214 that air passes from the chamber 202 that flows downward around the encirclement honeycomb core 30 enters lateral flow chamber 204, therefore, and the Ps of pressure from the chamber 202 that flows downward in the cover 34 HighChange to the P in lateral flow chamber 204 and the storeroom 206 LowThis is from P HighTo P LowPressure reduction on the top flat of honeycomb core, produce a pressure, this pressure is delivered to whole honeycomb core.The power that pressure reduction produced is applied on the core of shelving continuously, so that in the process that heats in the lamination carriage and solidify, core is fixed together.

According to the present invention, provide a kind of method that shifts the sheet of many half-space structures.The step of this method is, make on the side of sheet of half-space structure paddy with transmit head for example transmit many bars that separate of forming on the 31b for example bar 162 contact with 163, and make this structure paste these bars.These bars preferably contact whole paddy of half-space structure.For example be applied on the sheet by the mouth 164 and 165 in the bar for example from the difference force of vacuum source 167.As a kind of selection, can for example 161 provide vacuum at interval by the interval between the bar.Make in the interval of peak position between bar of half-space structure, width at interval approximates the distance between the adjacent paddy, and the degree of depth at interval is greater than the height at peak.Sheet alternately can be adhered on the bar that scribbles interim binding agent; When sheet separated with bar, the paddy of sheet separated with binding agent.As a kind of selection, sheet can be secured on the bar that separates with many clips, when sheet separated with bar, the paddy of sheet separated with clip.Transmit head and the sheet position 344 of lifting from Figure 14 A and move to and lift that the position separates at the placement location 345 shown in Figure 14 A, sheet separates with bar then.
An alternative embodiment of the invention whenever possible, can adopt the identical part of part with the embodiment of Fig. 1-15 as shown in figure 16 in Figure 16, but will be with best.In the embodiment of Figure 16, in the lamination carriage, do not use the pressure reduction source that top flat is pressed onto on the honeycomb core.On the contrary, make and transmit top flat the preceding paragraph blink that head is pressed in honeycomb core, begin gel, just leave top flat up to binding agent.Stacked laminator shown in Figure 16 comprise lamination carriage 32 ' and lifting platform arm 31 '.Lifting platform arm 31 ' comprise an extension bar 31a ', transmit a 31b ' and twin shaft travel mechanism 301 ', their effect and Figure 10 B just, 10C is identical with the above-mentioned effect that 14A describes.The transmission head of the embodiment of Figure 16 can comprise the heater that is used for heating pole.This heater preferably includes heater coil shown in Figure 16 470.Heater also can comprise the heating source of other type, includes but not limited to pharoid, resistance heater.As a kind of selection, the heating tape can be wrapped in the bar that transmits head around, bar is heated.
The lower part 187 of lamination carriage 32 ' also can the comprise cover that is used for it '.Lower part 187 ' the bottom in be equipped with heating member 196 ' and be used for regulating the circulating fan 198 of the air of lamination carriage '.Lower part 187 ' in be equipped with the lowering or hoisting gear 170 that is used to promote and reduce honeycomb core '.A flat board 172 of lowering or hoisting gear 170 ' comprise ' and at least one be contained in the guide rod 174 of longitudinal supporting seat 180 ' interior ' and at least one secondary guide 184 '.The effect of lowering or hoisting gear and Figure 14 A just, 14B is identical with the 15 above-mentioned effects of describing.Longitudinal supporting 180 ' below contiguous honeycomb core 30 ' be equipped with transmitter 192 ' and receiver 194 ', be used to survey the position of core.Preferably be provided with at least one block of terminal guide plate 176 ', when stacked, can guarantee accurate alignment.
In the embodiment of Figure 16, transmit a 31b ' and be pressed in top flat the preceding paragraph blink time that contacts with honeycomb core, begin gel up to binding agent, just leave top flat.Transmit the pressure of head and guarantee that the position of top flat on honeycomb core is maintained, and when honeycomb core descended with lowering or hoisting gear, because of binding agent continues to solidify, top flat can not move.Transmitting before a 31b ' leaves top flat on the honeycomb core, it also can descend with lowering or hoisting gear.Preferably will transmit the head heating, in other words, it is a radiator concerning top flat.As a kind of selection, when the binder system of the embodiment that is used for Figure 16 do not need to be heating and curing and make the half-space structure remain on drying regime so that it when not expanding, the transmission head of Figure 16 can not heat.As a kind of selection, transmitting head can be a heat guard, the heat of its non-conducting sheet equally.No matter be one pack system or bi-component binding agent, when top flat contact honeycomb core, preferably wet is sticking, so that guarantee to form rapidly large tracts of land bonding contact zone.Yet, when utilizing the transmission of Figure 16, can reduce the needs that come the exact position of retention tab with sticking binding agent.
The operation of the shearing device and the stacked laminator of the system of the present invention shown in Fig. 1-15 is described in conjunction with Figure 17 now.When normal running, half-space processing unit (plant) of the present invention is to turn round continuously with identical linear velocity with the coating adhesive device.When describing the programme diagram of Figure 17, it is to be noted that comprise many parts, each parts has some actions again, therefore, many actions all take place simultaneously.Do this work and be the cycleoperation time for optimization system; Each action all should be carried out in proper order, but needs the more time.
Figure 17 represents several cycles of operating, and starts constantly from optional zero, and conveyer 28 begins to send to the half-space structure of a length of a film.A complete operation cycle is sent to by the sheet of two orders and forms, and sends the place at one, cuts off at a side such as the upstream side of a conveyer slide plate bar, sends the place at one, cuts off in the opposite side such as the downstream of another bar.This just requires to transmit the pitch that a 31b laterally moves half half-space structure, so that pick up and stacked this sheet.The standard time that is used for the repetition period of this operation relates to the switching motion that transmits head, represents with 216 in Figure 17.On the program of Figure 17, be about 3.8 chronomeres this cycle time.
To be described Figure 17 below.See the time interval earlier, then from the top of figure to the bottom, check related therewith usually parts and action.At first, from constantly 0 to constantly 1, following action takes place.Conveyer is sent the distance of a slice half-space structure to and is stopped.Conveyer is initially located in halted state then, waits for that blade picks up this sheet half-space structure from continuous feeding cutting-out a slice half-space structure of half-space structure and by transmitting head.Blade is in retracted position, and the wait conveyer is finished and sent to.Vacuum source 314a~the c of the conveyer of shearing device is in connected state, so that before the half-space structure that is sent to is transmitted a 31b and picked up, fix it reliably.Be used for that the sheet that downcuts is transferred to the air from the conveyer of pressure source 336a~c that transmits on the 31b and be in dissengaged positions.The transmission head that picks up the sheet of firm cutting-out in the position of the cutter in downstream is in and carries out stacked operating position.The side plate 191 of cover becomes from closure to be opened, allow transmit head enter carry out in the cover 34 stacked.The transmission head of the sheet that sorption has just been downcut continues to shift to lamination carriage 32 and still arrives lamination carriage 32 at conveyer 28 when sending to.Lowering or hoisting gear 170 continues to be moved down into vertically, and stacked sheet is in till the height that is suitable for stacked a slice down.Lowering or hoisting gear highly stops at this.When transmitting head and arrive the position of lamination carriage 32 and lowering or hoisting gear 170 and stop to move, transmit head and move on to upper/lower positions, this sheet is put on the top of lamination.When transmitting head below the time, the vacuum source 167 that this sheet is inhaled reliably on vacuum head is cut off.Meanwhile, be connected, make this sheet exactly and transmit head and throw off, at this moment, transmit head still below from the transmission air of pressure source.When the transmission head moves on to the position, transmit a vacuum and be in dissengaged positions, transmit an air and be in connected state.The transmission head that has broken away from this sheet in lamination carriage 32 begins to move to conveyer 28 from lamination carriage 32, this occur in conveyer just entered stop action before.Begin to move down from the lowering or hoisting gear 170 that transmits this sheet of head reception.
Following processes occurs in the moment 1 of Figure 17 to the moment 2.When conveyer 28 stopped to move, blade 157 and the half-space structure of transmitting on a 31b and the conveyer were got in touch.Blade stretches out across the half-space structure on the conveyer, thereby laterally passes through this structure so that downcut a slice.Blade is withdrawn in cutting-off process then, get back to the withdrawal operating state, so that do not become the bar of conveyer and the obstacle of transmission head, when the transmission head is shifted to conveyer, because the sheet that will be picked up is just cut at the upstream side of the bar of conveyer, transmits head and begin to be transformed into upstream operating state.The distance that the bar of this conveyer leaves the position of the bar that supports contiguous that sheet that downcuts previously is the pitch of half half-space.Shift to conveyer because transmit head, it one breaks away from the sheet of sorption, and side plate 191 is just closed.When transmitting head when the lamination carriage is shifted to conveyer, transmit a pressure source 168 and be cut off, transmit a vacuum source 167 and keep dissengaged positions.After the blade withdrawal, transmit an arrival conveyer here, be positioned at the top of the sheet of cutting-out.Transmit head and change, the bar that therefore transmits head is positioned at the top at the interval of conveyer slide plate.At this moment, the end to end of the sheet from the conveyer, the vacuum source 167 that little by little will transmit head is communicated with, vacuum source 343b and 343c are cut off, pressure source 336a~c is communicated with,, the sheet that downcuts is little by little transferred on the transmission head from conveyer so that as detailed above.Transmit a vacuum source 167 and be in connected state, so that hold the sheet that has shifted from conveyer.Transmit a pressure source and be in dissengaged positions.After the conveyer receiving sheet, transmit head and begin to move to the lamination carriage, conveyer begins to send to then.
Operation cycle has been described half above; The whole operation cycle is the repetition of this half period, and the conversion of just transmitting head is different.Repeat the whole cycle, until abundant sheet is laminated into honeycomb core, this can by 38 pairs of scattered control systems stacked how many sheets follow the tracks of to determine.After honeycomb core is finished, stacked laminator is stopped, the side plate of cover is mentioned, lowering or hoisting gear is risen, like this, stacked intact honeycomb core can be shifted out from the lamination carriage.
After other embodiments of the invention those skilled in the art has studied this specification and has been included in the technology of invention wherein, can come to understand, it is to be noted that this specification should be thought exemplary, real target of the present invention and principle are provided by following claim.
