TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a belt-shaped member affixed belt manufacturing apparatus and a belt-shaped member affixed belt manufacturing method for manufacturing a belt-shaped member affixed belt in which a band-shaped member is affixed to an endless belt. The present invention relates to a belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing apparatus and a belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing method for manufacturing a sticking belt-like member sticking belt.
The belt-like member sticking belt manufactured by the belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing apparatus and the belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing method of the present invention is an image of an electrophotographic system such as a printer, a FAX, a copying machine, and a multi-function machine having these functions. It can be suitably used for an intermediate transfer belt, a sheet conveying belt, a photosensitive belt, and the like in a forming apparatus.

In an endless belt such as an intermediate transfer belt used in a conventional electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a plurality of rotating shafts that support and rotate the endless belt cannot be made completely parallel. Therefore, the rotating belt meanders. If the belt meanders, the belt may be biased to one side in the axial direction, and the end of the belt may be damaged. Further, in the case of an endless belt such as an intermediate transfer member or a paper transport belt of the image forming apparatus, there is a problem that the image position shifts when meandering occurs.
Therefore, conventionally, a meandering-preventing rib (band member) and a reinforcing tape (band member) are provided on the periphery of the endless belt to reduce meandering and damage.

The following prior arts (J01) to (J06) are known as techniques for fixing a belt-like member to an endless belt.

(J02) Technology described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-192620) In Patent Document 2, a rib is approached from the side of an endless belt stretched around two or three axes and bonded to the belt. Immediately before, a technique is described in which an adhesive is supplied by a dispenser (41), the adhesive is shaped by a stretching mechanism (42) and automatically applied to the rib, and the rib is bonded to the belt.

(J03) Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-055532) Patent Document 3 describes that a rib is fitted to an annular ring and an adhesive is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the rib or a double-sided tape is applied. A technique is described in which an endless belt is fitted from the outside and a rib is bonded to the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt.
(J04) Technology described in Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-118044) In Patent Document 4, the release paper of the double-sided tape with release paper provided on the rib is peeled immediately before the rib is attached to the endless belt, A technique is described in which the ribs are bonded together while maintaining the posture of the ribs.

(J05) Technology described in Patent Document 5 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-086232) In Patent Document 5, the belt is held in a horizontal posture by a holder corresponding to the outer diameter of the belt, and an adhesive is applied or a double-sided tape is applied. A technique is described in which the attached rib is supplied to the inner peripheral surface of the belt using a supply guide, and the rib is attached to the belt by pressure contact with a roller.
(J06) Technology described in Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-230950) Patent Document 6 describes a melt formed by a hot melt gun after a meander-preventing guide (rib) is placed on a belt. A technique is described in which the hot melt binder resin is poured and bonded, or the hot melt binder resin is molded and bonded as a guide (rib) for preventing meandering.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-177918 (“0033” to “0043”, FIGS. 10 to 12) JP 2002-192620 A ("0021" to "0031", FIGS. 4 and 5) JP 2002-055532 A ("0023" to "0031", FIGS. 3 to 6) JP 2004-118044 (“0074” to “0080”, FIG. 3) JP 10-086232 A ("0021" to "0029", Fig. 6) JP 59-230950 A

(Problems of conventional technology)
In the prior arts (J01) to (J05), when applying an adhesive, it is difficult to apply the adhesive evenly, and the adhesive may protrude. Therefore, it is necessary to wipe off the protruding adhesive, and it is difficult to increase productivity. In addition, after bonding, the curing time until the adhesive is hardened becomes longer (half a day or more), and there is a problem that it is difficult to increase productivity.
In addition, when using double-sided tape in the prior arts (J01) to (J05), in the durability test that is performed before product shipment and continuously rotates the belt while applying a large force to the side surface of the rib, There is a problem that it may shift and lack reliability.
In the prior arts (J04) and (J05), the ribs that are sequentially supplied are bonded together, so that they are held together for a while in a state where they are pressed at a point, not at the surface, so it takes time to apply them all around the circumference. Therefore, it is difficult to improve productivity.
Furthermore, in the prior art (J06), since a hot melt gun is used, there is a problem that the maintenance and management of the temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. of the hot melt gun are enormous and productivity is low.

  In addition, even when using the technology for pasting the belt-like members of the prior arts (J01) to (J06), when the belt-like member having low rigidity is stuck on the endless belt having low rigidity, both are low in rigidity. In some cases, it may be bent and pasted beyond the allowable limit. For this reason, it is necessary to measure whether or not the band-like member (rib or the like) attached to the endless belt is attached to an accurate position. For the measurement, it is necessary to remove the belt from the device for attaching the belt-like member and attach it to another measurement device to perform measurement. In each of the prior arts (J01) to (J06), it is necessary to separately measure the bonding position, and there is a problem that the number of processes is large and the productivity is low. In particular, in the field of image forming apparatuses that use an intermediate transfer belt as an endless belt, the endless belt is assembled with the image forming apparatus, and a test is performed to actually form an image. There is a problem that it is difficult to improve the performance.

  Further, for ribs (band-like members) that are attached to prevent meandering or the like, the straightness of the inner end of the attached rib is important, and it is required to measure and select the straightness. However, the conventional techniques (J01) to (J06) are difficult to bond with high straightness, and realize high durability, equipment cost productivity for bonding at high speed, and labor cost productivity that does not require much labor. It is also difficult.

  In order to solve these problems, the present inventor uses a hot-melt tape that is bonded in a heat-pressed state and can be quickly fixed at room temperature and solidified to be reinforced at room temperature and has high bonding strength. Focused on that. Hot-melt tape is used for simple bookbinding, back cover, pattern print on T-shirts, liner and top plate parts in automobile interiors, various materials in paper diapers, plywood, conductive materials Industrial application to substrate mounting of electronic component IC using melt tape mixed with However, in the technique of attaching the belt-like member to the endless belt, there has been no specific example of the specific configuration of the apparatus and method for attaching the belt-like member using a hot melt tape. As a result of intensive experiments and researches, the present inventor has come up with the present invention that solves the above problems by using hot melt tape.

(Operation of Example 1)
In the rib sticking belt manufacturing apparatus (band member sticking belt manufacturing apparatus) and method of Example 1 having the above-described configuration, the pressing member 39 applies a predetermined batch sticking length L at a time, and the batch sticking length L is set. The endless belt rotates by a corresponding predetermined rotation amount R. By this rotation, a new rib 16 is guided between the groove wall 33 and the pressing member 34 and bonded by thermocompression of the next press member 39. And this is repeated and the rib 16 is affixed on the whole edge of the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt B. Therefore, in Example 1, since the rib 16 is stuck over the predetermined sticking length L by the press member 39, productivity can be improved compared with the case where it bonds sequentially.
Further, in the rib affixing belt manufacturing apparatus and method of Example 1, the groove wall 33, the pressing member 34, and the rib support base 32 are formed straight with high accuracy and are pressed by the pressing member 34. Since it is pasted, the accuracy of the pasting position is increased and the straightness is improved. Further, since the pressing member 39 is held at the light contact position during the rotation of the belt, the rib 16 is not easily displaced from the groove formed by the groove wall 33 or the pressing member 34 during the rotation, and the straightness can be improved. .

Furthermore, in the rib application belt manufacturing apparatus and method of Example 1, the rib 16 is smoothly guided between the groove wall 33 and the pressing member 34 by the guide member 38, so that the application is performed smoothly and accurately. Straightness and the like can be increased. Further, since the rib 16 is supported so as to hang down, it is possible to prevent excessive stress from acting on the rib 16.
In addition, in the ribbed belt manufacturing apparatus and method of Example 1, the hot melt tape 16b obtained by cutting the hot melt sheet 7 is used as an adhesive, so that the durability is improved as compared with the case where a double-sided tape is used. Can do. Furthermore, since the hot melt tape 16b is quickly solidified when it is not heated and has a strong adhesive force, the ribs 16 are not easily displaced even when a force is applied, and the reliability can be improved.

In addition, since the shim plate 9 is used when the hot melt sheet 7 is attached to the urethane sheet 6, air entrainment between the hot melt tape 16b and the ribs 16 is reduced, and a belt with a rib attached (strip shape) The durability of the member affixing belt (B + 16) can be enhanced. Furthermore, since the hot melt sheet 7 is used, the step of uniformly applying the adhesive is not required, and the hot melt sheet 7 can be easily attached to the urethane sheet 6 to increase productivity.
Further, the rib 16 is attached by adding the rotation amount of the endless belt B (= (number of times of application n) × (rotation amount R)) to the application completion determination value ((belt inner circumference BL) + (collective application). Since it is carried out until it becomes larger than the length L)) (see ST11), it is pasted for a length of one belt or more. Accordingly, the rib 16 is corrected by the groove wall 33 and the pressing member 34 at the joining portion of the front end and the rear end of the rib 16. Therefore, there are few steps at the joining portion, and straightness can be improved.

Furthermore, in the rib sticking belt manufacturing apparatus and method of Example 1, the sticking position measuring device D3 can measure the sticking position without attaching / detaching the endless belt B after the rib 16 is stuck. Therefore, the work of attaching / detaching the endless belt B can be omitted, and the productivity can be improved.
Moreover, in the rib sticking belt manufacturing apparatus and method according to the first embodiment, the measured sticking position and the walk amount can be fed back as the sticking execution position correction amount when the rib 16 is stuck next time. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the sticking position or the sticking that is shifted by the walk when the belt makes one round by the walk, so that the straightness of the rib sticking belt (B + 16) can be improved.

Furthermore, in the rib-attached belt manufacturing apparatus and method of the first embodiment, the endless belt B is stretched from the state where it is suspended at a high lift position using the belt lifter 59. Can be reduced. Therefore, surface damage, contact contamination, and the like can be prevented, and the quality of the endless belt B can be maintained. Moreover, since the belt lifter 59 is used, the endless belt B can be automatically attached and detached, and the occurrence of damage such as kinks can be suppressed.
In the rib-attached belt manufacturing apparatus and method according to the first embodiment, the drive shaft 51 and the driven shaft 52 are supported at both ends when the belt is extended, and are cantilevered when the belt is relaxed. Can be easily performed, and the occurrence of damage such as kinks can be reduced. Further, since the rib support base 32 and the like move to the retracted position after the rib attaching operation is completed, the belt can be easily attached and detached, and the occurrence of damage such as kinks can be suppressed.

(Change example)
As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to the said Example, A various change is performed within the range of the summary of this invention described in the claim. It is possible. Modification examples (H01) to (H06) of the present invention are exemplified below.
(H01) In the above embodiment, when the material constituting the endless belt B may be damaged by heat, the rib 16 guided by the guide member 38 is used as a preheating member (for example, a hot air blower). When the hot melt tape is melted in advance for a while, the pressure can be crimped and the damage to the endless belt can be reduced even if the temperature and time of the thermocompression bonding conditions of the press member 39 are reduced.

(H02) In the above-described embodiment, the meandering-preventing rib 16 is exemplified as the belt-like member. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a belt reinforcing tape that reinforces the endless belt B can also be used. Further, after the belt reinforcing tape is attached to the endless belt, the meandering prevention rib 16 may be laminated and attached thereon. In the belt on which the meandering-preventing rib 16 is affixed, a strong lateral force is applied to the rib in the machine due to meandering, and the belt end may be bent or buckled. For this reason, a reinforcing tape is often pasted in the past, but in general, the reinforcing tape is pasted on the outer peripheral surface of the belt by hand or a dedicated device. However, since an electrophotographic intermediate image is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the belt, it is desirable that the tape is not attached. However, in the belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing apparatus D of Example 1, since it can be easily and accurately attached to the inner peripheral surface of the belt, an endless belt in which the reinforcing tape is attached to the inner peripheral surface can be created. Furthermore, the endless belt in which the reinforcing tape and the rib are laminated and pasted can be created simply by replacing the belt-shaped member fed from the rib feeding device with a reinforcing tape or rib.

(H03) In the above-described embodiment, when the walk amount is adjusted to a level that does not need to be corrected by the calibration jig, the processing of ST4 and FIG. 14 can be omitted.
(H04) In the above embodiment, the sticking position measuring device D3 disposed on the downstream side of the rib sticking device is not limited to the sticking device of the first embodiment, and can be applied to a conventionally known belt-like member sticking belt manufacturing device. .
(H05) In the above embodiment, the pasting position measuring device D3 can be omitted.

(H06) In the above-described embodiment, the image within the predetermined one imaging range is analyzed by the CCD camera 63, but it is also possible to analyze images at a plurality of locations along the belt circumferential direction. In this case, since the range for analyzing the image is widened, the accuracy of measurement of the pasting position and the walk amount can be increased. Alternatively, the rotation speed of the belt can be increased.
