Two feeding rotary shafts 64 and 64 are arranged side by side in corresponding fixed position in the Y direction.In this example, two It feeds rotary shaft 64 and 64 and is located at equivalent site in (Z-direction) in above-below direction.However, the present invention is not limited to this.Each into To rotary shaft 64 and 64 can by the paper tube p at the center of insertion material coil 4C backing material coil 4C.It inserts as a result, Enter and the feeding rotary shaft 64 of backing material coil 4C is driven and rotated, thus along the Y direction from material when seen from above Coil 4C feeds material 4.

Two feeding rotary shafts 64 and 64 substantially alternately implement feeding operation.Specifically, rotary shaft is fed at one 64 from coil of material 4Ca while feed material 4a, and another feeding rotary shaft 64 is in the standby mode for not implementing feeding.When one When the material 4a of a feeding rotary shaft 64 to be ready exhausting, bonded in rear material 4f in preceding material 4a (material 4a);In rear material 4f is attached to the material 4f of another coil of material 4Cf for feeding rotary shaft 64 and not being fed also.Another feeding rotation as a result, Shaft 64 is then from rear coil of material 4Cf feedings and supplying material 4f.In addition, working as the material 4f of another feeding rotary shaft 64 just When exhausting, operation same as described above is implemented again;At this stage, material 4f becomes in preceding material, and is newly attached to one The coil of material 4Cn of a feeding rotary shaft 64 not being fed becomes in rear coil of material.

Adhesion mechanism 66 be the material 4f in rear coil of material 4Cf that will be supported by another feeding rotary shaft 64 with by one The mechanism 66 in preceding material 4a bondings that feeding rotary shaft 64 is fed is in standby shape in rear coil of material 4Cf at this stage State.To which material 4 (4a, 4f) is continuously fed processing unit 110 without interrupting.

As shown in Figure 7 A, adhesion mechanism 66 includes compression mechanism 67 and cutting mechanism 68.Compression mechanism 67 includes:A pair of pressure Contracting component 67K and 67K are guided in the mode that can move back and forth on predetermined direction (e.g., Y-direction), in predetermined direction On, the size of space G therebetween can change;And actuator 67C and 67C (e.g., cylinder), make a pair of of compression element 67K Move back and forth in a predetermined direction with 67K.Cutting mechanism 68 includes:Cutting blade 68B, will be in preceding material 4a from paper tube p It cuts and detaches;With actuator 68C (e.g., cylinder), cutting blade 68B is made to move back and forth relative in preceding material 4a.

Bonding operation is implemented as follows.First, worker from by its rotation stop feeding rotary shaft 64 support in rear material Stockline circle 4Cf pulls the fore-end 4fe of material 4f, and fore-end 4fe is placed on a pair of of compression of compression mechanism 67 In above-mentioned space G between component 67K and 67K, as shown in Figure 7 A.For example, due to positioned at a pair of compression in the sides rear material 4f One absorption in component 67K and 67K, fore-end 4fe are resisted against on compression element 67K and are supported by compression element 67K. At this stage, on fore-end 4fe, it is already provided with double faced adhesive tape 7j, for material 4a before being bonded in.

In above-mentioned space G, position from the transport path in preceding material 4a fed in preceding coil of material 4Ca, and edge Transport path conveying in preceding material 4a.If the controller determine that the surplus in the material 4a of preceding coil of material 4Ca be equal to or Less than specified value, then the rotation of the feeding rotary shaft 64 of coil of material 4Ca before controller stopping is supported on.During the stopping, Controller keeps a pair of of compression element 67K and 67K closer to each other, as shown in Figure 7 B, to, in preceding material 4a, double faced adhesive tape 7j and It is pressed between a pair of of compression element 67K and 67K in rear material 4f.As a result, preceding material 4a and rear material 4f with it is two-sided Adhesive tape 7j bondings.Then, controller controls cutting mechanism 68, and as shown in Figure 7 B, cutting blade 68B is in feeding rotary shaft 64 and one Cutting is in preceding material 4a at position between compression element 67K and 67K.Thus, material 4a is by from feeding rotary shaft 64 It is cut out in paper tube p.Also, controller makes a pair of of compression element 67K and 67K be separated from each other, as seen in figure 7 c, to which release is preceding Material 4a, double faced adhesive tape 7j and pressing in rear material 4f.Then, controller is initially to support at the feeding of rear coil of material 4Cf The rotation of rotary shaft 64.Thus, finally, the feeding of material 4 is switched to from preceding coil of material 4Ca in rear coil of material 4Cf.

The paper tube p (Fig. 8) in preceding coil of material 4Ca of its emptied of material is removed by worker from feeding rotary shaft 64.Until When next bonding operation, the new coil of material 4Cn not being fed is assembled in feeding rotary shaft 64 by worker.Next In bonding operation, new material coil 4Cn becomes in rear coil of material 4Cf.

(2) stacking device 90

As shown in fig. 6, side of the stacking device 90 in the form of the 4L of circuit and can downstream supply in the conveying direction Formula gathers the material 4 (4a, 4f) fed by feeding rotary shaft 64.Stacking device 90 includes:Static roller group G95s, by being arranged Multiple static roller 95s, the 95s of fixed position ... composition;Mobile roller group G95m, by with can be in predetermined direction (Z-direction) On the mode that moves back and forth multiple mobile roller 95m, the 95m that are guided ... composition, in a predetermined direction, the circuit 4L's of material Size can change;With actuator 95C (e.g., cylinder), by predetermined load on the direction of the size for increasing circuit 4L (N) it is applied to mobile roller group G95m.All roller 95s, 95m around the corresponding rotary shaft extended along the X direction can revolve The mode turned is supported.Material 4, which is alternately wound around, constitutes the static roller 95s of each of static roller group G95s and the mobile roller group of composition On each mobile roller 95m of G95m, thus multiple circuit 4L are formed in material 4,4L ....As described above, actuator 95C exists Predetermined load (N) is applied to mobile roller group G95m on the direction of size for increasing circuit 4L.As a result, if material 4 Tension (N) is less than the predetermined value based on predetermined load, then moves roller group G95m movements to increase the size of circuit 4L.If material 4 tension (N) is more than predetermined value, then moves roller group G95m movements to reduce the size of circuit 4L.

Using the stacking device 90 with this construction, even if being grasped in rear material 4f and the bonding in preceding material 4a bondings When work, in other words, make also may be used not from during the period sent with charge free positioned at the material engagement device 60 of upstream in material 4 To handle material by feeding the material 4 gathered in advance in the form of the 4L of circuit by stacking device 90 to processing unit 110 4, without stopping conveying of the material 4 in processing unit 110 and not making its deceleration.

That is, when feeding operation is switched to another feeding rotary shaft 64 from a feeding rotary shaft 64 as described above, It is gradually reduced by the feed speed (mpm) in preceding material 4a of a feeding rotary shaft 64, then the feeding rotary shaft 64 Rotation stops.In this case, become not to be fed from a feeding rotary shaft 64 in preceding material 4a.But, material 4a is to position Processing unit 110 in downstream is dispatched.As a result, when as described above the feeding of preceding material 4a start stop when, in preceding material 4a is downstream pulled in the conveying direction, to increase the tension in preceding material 4a.Then, when tension become greater than it is above-mentioned pre- When definite value, it is based on above description, mobile roller group G95m is moved on the direction of the size for reducing circuit 4L.As a result, accumulation The material 4 (4a) of accumulation is supplied to processing unit 110 by device 90.

By the aforementioned supply operation of the material 4 (4a) of stacking device 90 continue at least the above bonding operation terminate for Only.Also, as shown in figure 8, when bonding operation terminate and by another feeding rotary shaft 64 from after coil of material 4Cf into When to operating ready, the rotating speed (rpm) for feeding rotary shaft 64 is increased to instruction rotating speed (rpm) by controller;Instruct rotating speed (rpm) it is to feed the feed speed of rotary shaft 64 according to it to become equal to feed speed V4 (mpm) needed for processing unit 110 Command value.Then, when controller judgement rotating speed has reached instruction rotating speed (rpm), controller is controlled according to the instruction rotating speed Feed the rotation of rotary shaft 64.

In order to complete to prepare by least next bonding operation, controller increases the size of the circuit 4L of stacking device 90, So that stacking device 90 gather to be fed by feeding rotary shaft 64 in rear material 4f.For example, controller rotates feeding The feed speed (mpm) of axis 64 is set as bigger than the command value of the above-mentioned feed speed V4 (mpm) needed for processing unit 110.So Afterwards, the tension of material 4 becomes less than above-mentioned predetermined value, as a result the state from Fig. 8 indicated by solid line to dotted line double dot dash line institute The state of instruction, to increase the size of circuit 4L.When the size of controller determination circuit 4L reaches predetermined value, controller is based on The rotation of above-metioned instruction rotating speed (rpm) control feeding rotary shaft 64, the instruction rotating speed correspond to the instruction of feed speed V4 (mpm) Value.

<<<The Fen Pei &gt of 1 class and 2 class material feeding apparatus 10 and 50;>>

In the present embodiment, as described above, 1 class material feeding apparatus 10 shown in Fig. 4 A be used to supply back tablet The material 3 of 3s, and 2 class material feeding apparatus 50 shown in fig. 6 be used to supply the material 4 of leakproof tablet 4s.This is because The number of replacement per unit time in two feeding rotary shafts 64 and 64 for the coil of material 3C of back tablet 3s is (secondary/small When) compare two replacement numbers per unit time for feeding the coil of material 4C in rotary shafts 24 and 24 for leakproof tablet 4s (secondary/hour) is big.

Specifically, in 2 class material engagement devices 60, the material 4f that needs a person with the qualifications of a general is drawn to compression element as shown in Figure 7 A 67K, therefore, the preparation for bonding are more complicated than 1 class material engagement device 20.2 class material engagement devices 60 are divided as a result, Dispensing have it is smaller replace number, coil of material 4C for leakproof tablet 4s per unit time, to inhibit worker The increase of burden.

It should be noted that in this example, the replacement number per unit time of the coil of material 4C for leakproof tablet 4s (secondary/hour) is smaller than the number of replacement per unit time (secondary/hour) of the coil of material 3C for back tablet 3s, wants below Point mainly helps this.

First, in this example, the feeding length LGH4 ratios of the material 4 for leakproof tablet 4s are used for back tablet The feeding length LGH3 of the material 3 of 3s is short, and the material 4 for leakproof tablet 4s is by the 2 class materials for generating single diaper 1s Expect that engagement device 20 is fed, the material 3 for back tablet 3s is by the 1 class material engagement device for generating single diaper 1s 60 feedings.

That is, as shown in Figure 2 A, in this example, the longitudinal direction of diaper 1s is on the direction of feeding material 3 and 4.With Length on the longitudinal direction of diaper 1s is compared, length LGH3s of the length LGH4 than back tablet 3s of leakproof tablet 4s It is small.

Accordingly, for per unit time from the consumption length LGH3 of the coil of material 3C and 4C material 3 and 4 consumed and LGH4 is used for consumption length of the consumption length LGH4 than the material 3 for back tablet 3s of the material 4 of leakproof tablet 4s LGH3 is small.This contributes to, and the number of replacement per unit time (secondary/hour) of the coil of material 4C for leakproof tablet 4s is more It is small.

It should be noted that for example, by by the ratio (V3 of feed speed V3 and feed speed V4:V4 aforementioned feeding length) is maintained Ratio (the LGH3 of degree:LGH4), realize as described above so that being used for the feeding length LGH4 ratios of the material 4 of leakproof tablet 4s The feeding length LGH3 of material 3 for back tablet 3s is short.Here, feed speed V3 is filled for being supplied to 1 class material Set the speed (mpm) of the material 3 needed for 10 supply processing units 110, feed speed V4 is for 2 class material feeding apparatus 50 Supply the speed (mpm) of the material 4 needed for processing unit 110.
