Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyer capable of surely detecting the surface/reverse of a workpiece, by eliminating position adjustment of a sensor. SOLUTION: In this conveyer 1, constituted so as to convey an ornamental material 2 formed by driving a metal-made staple 23 to a reverse side 2b of a long-scaled wood 21 by conveying rollers 13, feed rollers 11 pressing the ornamental material 2 on this conveying roller 13 conveyed are provided thereon, also a sensor 10 detecting the staple 23 is provided in a cover material 12 of this feed roller 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a conveying device for conveying a long material by discriminating the front surface and the back surface thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, as shown in FIG.
The decorative material 2 such as a baseboard is manufactured by fixing a decorative sheet 22 by hitting a metal staple 23 on the back surface 2b of the base material. Such a decorative material 2 is applied to the decorative sheet 2 by the staples 23 that have been hit on the back surface 2b.
In order not to damage the cosmetic materials 2, the decorative materials 2 are stacked one by one so that the front surfaces 2a and the back surfaces 2b face each other.

Therefore, when the decorative materials 2 stacked in this manner are taken out and processed one by one, the decorative materials 2 are reversed one by one by the reversing device 3 or the like, and all the decorative materials 2 are turned over. Face facing the same side (back side 2b faces up)
Was to be. After doing so, the cosmetic material 2
Is transported by the transport device 4 as shown in FIG.
Had been processed.

Conventionally, it is checked whether or not the cosmetic materials 2 are inverted one by one by a reversing device 3 or the like and all the cosmetic materials 2 are transported by the transport device 4 in a state of facing the same surface. For this purpose, an independent column (not shown) is set up near the entrance of the conveying device 4, and a sensor 6 is provided on the independent column (not shown). The sensor 6 detects a staple 23 of the decorative material 2 and The front surface 2a and the back surface 2b are detected.

[0005]

However, when the width or thickness of the decorative material 2 changes, the position of the staples 23 driven into the decorative material 2 also changes.
Cannot detect the staple 23.

Therefore, there has been a problem that the position of the sensor 6 must be adjusted each time the size of the decorative material 2 conveyed by the conveying device 4 changes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a transfer device capable of reliably detecting the front and back of a work without adjusting the position of a sensor.

[0008]

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transporting apparatus for transporting a workpiece, in which metal staples are driven into one side of a long material, by a transporting roller. An apparatus, on a transport roller, a feed roller configured to transport the work by pressing the work on the transport roller is provided, and a sensor for detecting staples is provided on a cover material of the feed roller. It is.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall structure of the transfer device 1. That is, in the transport device 1, the determination of the front surface 2 a and the back surface 2 b of the decorative material 2 is performed by the sensor 10 provided on the cover material 12 of the feed roller 11.

As shown in FIG. 2, the decorative material 2 is formed by attaching a decorative sheet 22 to the surface 2a of a long piece of wood 21. The edges of the decorative sheet 22 were fixed by metal staples 23 which were driven from the back surface 2b of the wood 21.

The transport device 1 is provided with a feed roller 11 above the transport roller 13, and transports the decorative material 2 on the transport roller 13 while being pressed by the feed roller 11. The feed rollers 11 are covered with a cover material 12. Outside of this cover material 12,
A sensor 10 is provided. The sensor 10 detects a metal staple 23 driven into the back surface 2b of the decorative material 2 and detects the back surface 2b of the decorative material 2. Since the sensor 10 is provided on the cover material 12 of the feed roller 11, if the feed roller 11 is in contact with the cosmetic material 2 and conveys the cosmetic material 2, the distance between the sensor 10 and the cosmetic material 2 is always the same. It will be kept at a distance. Therefore, even if the thickness and width of the decorative material 2 are changed, if the feed roller 11 is in contact with the decorative material 2 and conveys the decorative material 2, the staples 23 driven into the back surface 2b of the decorative material 2 by the sensor 10 are used. Can be detected.

Therefore, according to the transfer apparatus 1, it is not necessary to adjust the position of the sensor 10 every time the width or thickness of the decorative material 2 changes, and the staples 23 are reliably detected to determine the front and back of the decorative material 2. be able to.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the sensor for detecting staples is provided on the cover material of the feed roller for feeding the work, so that the staples can be reliably irrespective of changes in the thickness and width of the work. And the front and back of the work can be determined.
