DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transferring and transferring a band-shaped material, and more particularly, to sucking and holding a band-shaped material conveyed by a conveyance conveyor on a lower surface of a swingable get conveyor. The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transporting and transferring a strip-shaped material, which can transfer the strip-shaped material accurately and automatically without shifting the transfer position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a belt-shaped material such as a steel belt member manufactured to a fixed length is supplied to a forming drum capable of reducing and expanding the diameter, the belt-like material transported by a transport conveyor is centered on a fulcrum. Is supplied to the lower surface side of the belt of the oscillating get conveyor to be sucked and held, and is supplied onto the forming drum by the get conveyor.

[0003]

As shown in FIG. 8, the belt-shaped material W conveyed by the conveyor 1 is provided on the lower surface side of a swing type swing conveyor 2 provided with a magnet 3. When the loading inclination angle α of the get conveyor 2 set in accordance with the diameter of the forming drum 4 with respect to the conveyor 1 is large when the transfer is performed so as to be sucked and held, the leading end of the conveyor 1 and the get conveyor 2 In some cases, a large gap is formed between the transfer-side end portion.

In such a case, the leading end of the conveyed belt-shaped material W may not be transferred to the get conveyor 2 side, but may hang down from the leading end of the conveyor 1 as shown in FIG. In such a case, it is necessary for the operator to carry out the work of holding the leading end of the belt-shaped material W one by one and moving it to the lower surface side of the get conveyor 2 to suck and hold it.

For this reason, there is a problem that the forming operation is interrupted and the working efficiency is deteriorated. In addition, the transfer position of the band-shaped material W is shifted, and the position of the belt-shaped material W is shifted to the forming drum 4. There was a problem that attachment work could not be performed.
