Description

  The present invention relates to an unmanned transport cart for a roll body that is self-propelled by a preset guide mechanism and wound around a core in a strip shape or a linear material, and a transport method using the transport cart.

  In a roll body in which a belt-like or linear material is wound around a core, for example, a liquid crystal panel film or the like, the so-called “cylinder support conveyance that supports the outer periphery of the roll body due to the nature of the wound material. There is something that hates.

  Depending on the material to be wound, roll bodies of various widths are produced according to the standards of products using the material.

  When transporting such a roll body, conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the core 91 of the roll body R is hollow, the shaft 92 is passed through the hollow portion 91 </ b> A, and the shaft 92 is held. A method of conveying the roll body R is employed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, a method may be employed in which a pallet 96 that supports the core 90 is prepared, and the pallet 96 is transported together with the roll body R suspended in the air.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the roll body R is transported, a transport cart that supports and transports the portion of the core 93 protruding from the wound portion so as to be lifted from below by an arm 94 having a recess. 99 is also known (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-269161 A

  However, as shown in FIG. 9, the method of transporting by holding the shaft 92 via the shaft 92 needs to prepare the shaft 92 in addition to the roll body R itself to be transported, In addition to the extra cost, there is a problem that when the roll body R is transported, the shaft 92 itself needs to be arranged, transported, or stored separately. Further, a space for conveyance is required by the length of the shaft 92 itself, and more space is required when the shaft is inserted into and removed from the core, which is not suitable for conveyance using the space effectively. At the same time, it contains many elements that hinder full automation.

  The problem of the conveyance space becomes a more significant problem in the method using the pallet 96 as shown in FIG. 10 because the pallet 96 itself occupies a considerable weight and volume. Further, when placing the core 90 portion on the pallet 96, the length of the protruding portion of the core 90 is not limited to the portion necessary for placing the core 90 on the pallet 96, but also the portion for holding during transportation. In addition, the width (core length) of the entire roll body is increased, which is inconvenient for transportation and wasteful in storage space. Further, a dedicated pallet 96 must be prepared for each roll body width (core length), and it is not possible to flexibly cope with a change in the roll body to be conveyed.

  Further, even in the transport carriage 99 as shown in FIG. 11, the length of the protruding portion of the core is set so that the roll body is placed in addition to the width necessary for the arm 94 to support from below during the transport. When doing so, a width is required for the receiving part on the other side to receive, and the core becomes longer as a whole. Moreover, it becomes exclusive for a specific roll body, for example, when the length of a core changes with variations of a roll body, it cannot respond well. Furthermore, in the configuration in which the roll body is lifted from the lower side of the roll body, there must be a space where the arm can enter the lower side of the roll body.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve such a conventional problem, and does not require a separate shaft or pallet for transportation and storage, and is simple without damaging the outer periphery of the roll body. Roll body can be transported with the configuration, it can flexibly handle roll bodies with different core lengths, the lower space required for transportation is small, and even roll bodies with a small amount of core protrusion are good It is an object of the present invention to provide an unmanned transport cart for a roll body that can be transported and a transport method using the transport cart.

  The present invention is an unmanned transport cart that is self-propelled by a preset guide mechanism and transports a roll body in which a strip-shaped or linear material is wound around a core, and the interval between the cores is variable. A transport mechanism having a pair of holding portions capable of holding the roll body by being fitted to both end portions from the axial direction, and a shuttle portion that moves the pair of holding portions while maintaining the distance between the holding portions; The above configuration solves the above problem.

  In the present invention, attention is paid to the fact that a roll body in which a belt-like or linear material of this type is wound always has a core that supports the roll body itself when the material is wound. A configuration that makes the most of the core is adopted. That is, in the present invention, a pair of holding portions whose distances can be expanded and contracted are fitted to both end portions of the core of the roll body from the axial direction to hold the roll body. Thereafter, the entire roll body held is moved, and the pair of holding portions are separated in the axial direction at a position reached as a result of the movement (fork extended position).

  As a result, when the roll body is transported, it can be handled only by the core portion (without touching the wound roll material), regardless of the type of the wound material. Therefore, it is possible to always transport the material in the uppermost state without causing deformation or damage of the material itself.

  In addition, since no separate shafts or pallets are required for conveyance, it is naturally not necessary to arrange or store them. In particular, since a shaft is not used, complete automatic conveyance can be easily realized.

  Furthermore, the length of the core is only required to be secured for mounting on a rack or the like, and it is not necessary to secure a long core length just to hold it during transportation. Can be minimized.

  Furthermore, since the holding portion is moved and held in the axial direction, holding and transporting are possible even if the length of the core (width of the roll body) is slightly different. That is, it is possible to hold and transport roll bodies having different core lengths without any special design change. In addition, the space below the core of each roll body may not always be ensured particularly during storage. However, in the present invention, the limit of the roll body itself that does not interfere with the vertical spacing of each roll body is large. It can be narrowed to a certain extent, and no special space for conveyance is required under the core of each roll body.

  In addition, since the basic structure is simple, it is possible to cope with the transfer of roll bodies of various sizes or shapes very flexibly.

  Further, the present invention provides a roll body in which a roll body in which a belt-like or linear material is wound around a core is transported from a first position to a second position by an unmanned transport carriage that is self-propelled by a preset guide mechanism. A method of holding the roll body by fitting, in the first position, a pair of holding portions whose distances are variable at the first position, respectively, at both ends of the core in the axial direction. The unmanned transport cart moves from the first position to the second position while holding the roll body, and the roll body is mounted via the outer peripheral surface of the core at the second position. And the above-mentioned problem is solved by conveying the roll body through a step of separating the holding portion from the both end portions of the core in the axial direction.

  Thus, as described above, when the roll body is transported, it can be handled only by the core portion (without touching the wound roll-shaped material) and is wound. Regardless of the type of material, the material itself can always be transported in the uppermost state without causing deformation or damage of the material itself.

  In addition, the core of the roll body to which the present invention is applied may be hollow or solid. In addition, various variations can be considered in the present invention. Details will be described later.

  A roll that can handle roll bodies with different core lengths without using a shaft or pallet, and without damaging the outer periphery of the roll body, and has a small lower space required for conveyance and a small amount of core protrusion. Even the body can be transported well.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automatic guided vehicle 20 having a transport mechanism 24, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention.

  In the automatic guided vehicle 20 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of tires 22 are arranged on a cart main body 21 and can freely move on the ground. Although not shown in the figure, a battery as a power source, a motor (drive source) driven by the battery, a control device for controlling the entire cart, various sensors, and the like are mounted inside the cart body 21. The automatic guided vehicle 20 detects a guide mechanism set in advance (for example, a magnetic generator installed on the ground or the like, a guide G such as an IC tag, etc.) or reflects a laser or sound wave emitted by itself. It moves from a predetermined position to a predetermined position. For example, in a warehouse, it is used for applications such as transporting a load from a loading platform on which a load (roll body) is placed to a crane device.

  Note that the “automated guided vehicle (AGV)” in the present specification and claims is not limited to the example of the above-described embodiment, for example, instead of a tire. It may be moved so as to be guided by the rail. Moreover, it is not necessarily limited to the thing which moves complicatedly, You may just reciprocate a short distance straight line. It is a concept that includes at least a drive source (for example, a motor) for driving itself and that can transport a transported object unattended based on some kind of guide mechanism.

  The transport mechanism 24 included in the unmanned transport cart 20 includes a pair of holding portions 34 whose intervals are variable, a shuttle portion 33 that moves the holding portions 34 in the horizontal direction while maintaining the intervals, and the shuttle portion 33. And the lift part 25 that moves the holding part 34 in the vertical direction (details will be described later).

  Next, the roll body R which is the conveyed product which this automatic guided vehicle 20 conveys is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a roll body R as a conveyed product, and FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a storage state of the roll body R.

  The roll body R is obtained by winding a belt-like (sheet-like) film 2 and includes a core 6 having a hollow portion 4 in the center in the radial direction. The core 6 becomes a base when the film 2 is wound, and has a strength capable of supporting the entire roll body R only at both ends thereof. A roll body R wound with a material that requires extremely delicate handling, such as a film 2 of a liquid crystal panel, is basically transported and stored by sandwiching or supporting the outer peripheral surface 2A. It is not allowed to do.

  Therefore, the roll body R to be transported from now on is stored in the core receiving portion 7A of the loading platform 7 through the outer peripheral surface of the core 6 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the configuration of the transport mechanism 24 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  3 is a rear view of the transport mechanism 24, and FIG. 4 is a right side view. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow VA-VA line in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5B is a view as seen from the BB line side in FIG.

  The transport mechanism 24 moves the pair of holding units 32 (32A, 32B), the shuttle unit 33 that moves the pair of holding units 32 in the horizontal direction, and the shuttle unit 33 and the holding unit 32 in the vertical direction. Possible lift 25 is provided.

  The pair of holding portions 32A and 32B can be expanded and contracted by a ball screw mechanism whose interval L is described later. The pair of holding portions 32A and 32B includes holding pins 34 (34A and 34B) facing each other. Each holding pin 34A, 34B can be fitted to the hollow portion 4 of the core 6 of the roll body R from the axial direction when the roll body R is disposed therebetween, and has a strength capable of holding the roll body R. Have.

  In this embodiment, the shuttle unit 33 includes a pair of plate sets 33A and 33B arranged in layers on the two base plates 28 (28A and 28B). Each of the plate sets 33A and 33B can be sequentially slidable in a direction (horizontal direction) perpendicular to the extending and contracting direction X of the holding portions 32A and 32B while maintaining the distance L between the pair of holding portions 32A and 32B. A plurality of shuttle plates (first shuttle plates 35A, 35B, second shuttle plates 36A, 36B, third shuttle plates 37A, 37B).

  The pair of holding portions 32A and 32B may be integrated with the third shuttle plates 37A and 37B that can be positioned at the forefront.

  The plate set 33A will be taken out and its configuration will be described in more detail. The plate set 33B on the opposite side is basically the same as the configuration of the plate set 33A except that the positional relationship of the mirror image is obtained.

  The plate set 33A is configured by arranging three shuttle plates (first shuttle plate 35A, second shuttle plate 36A, and third shuttle plate 37A) in a layered manner. Two second LM blocks are arranged between the first shuttle plate 35A and the second shuttle plate 36A, thereby enabling smooth sliding. In addition, two third LM blocks 42A are arranged between the second shuttle plate 36A and the third shuttle plate 37A, thereby realizing smooth sliding. A shuttle motor 70 serving as a drive source of each shuttle plate is disposed below the first shuttle plate 35A and between the base plate 28A and the base plate 28B. The shuttle motor 70 is a shuttle shaft. Power is distributed to two plate sets (33A, 33B) via 72. The shuttle shaft 72 is provided with a ball spline 47A that can slide along the shuttle shaft 72 and transmit the rotation of the shuttle shaft 72. The ball spline 47A and the first roller 51A are connected to the first belt 51A. It is connected by 43A.

  Four rollers (second roller 52A, third roller 53A, fourth roller 54A, and fifth roller 55A) are arranged at a substantially horizontal position on the side surface of the first shuttle plate 35A, that is, on the plate set 33B side. Yes. Two belt stoppers 62A and 63A are installed on the side surface of the second shuttle plate 36A. A second belt 44A is connected and fixed to each of the belt stoppers 62A and 63A. The second belt 44A fixed to the belt stopper 62A is connected to the first roller 51A connected to the above-described ball spline 47A via the second roller 52A and the third roller 53A provided in the first shuttle plate 35A. Yes. Further, the second belt 44A is connected and fixed to the belt stopper 63A via a fourth roller 54A and a fifth roller 55A provided on the first shuttle plate 35A. That is, by rotating the ball spline 47A, the first shuttle plate 35A and the second shuttle plate 36A can be slid (in the left-right direction in FIG. 4).

  Two belt stoppers 60A and 61A are provided on the side surface of the first shuttle plate 35A. Furthermore, a sixth roller 56A and a seventh roller 57A are installed on the side surface of the second shuttle plate 36A. Further, two belt stoppers 64A and 65A are installed on the side surface of the third shuttle plate 37A. A third belt 45A is fixed to the belt stopper 60A provided in the first shuttle plate 35A. The third belt 45A is connected to a belt stopper 64A provided on the third shuttle plate 37A via a sixth roller 56A. On the other hand, the fourth belt 46A is connected and fixed to the belt stopper 61A provided in the first shuttle plate 35A. The fourth belt 46A is connected to a belt stopper 65A provided in the third shuttle plate 37A via a seventh roller 57A provided in the second shuttle plate 36A. That is, along with the slide of the first shuttle plate 35A and the second shuttle plate 36A described above, the second shuttle plate 36A and the third shuttle plate 37A are also slid simultaneously (the second shuttle plate 36A relative to the first shuttle plate 35A). (Sliding in the same direction as the sliding direction).

  The positions and sizes of the belt stoppers and rollers described here, and the number thereof can be changed as appropriate. By doing so, it is possible to adjust the sliding torque and sliding amount of the shuttle plate.

  In addition to the configuration described here, various configurations can be adopted as the configuration for sequentially feeding the shuttle plate. For example, although not shown in the drawings, the plate driving geared motors disposed on the respective shuttle plates may be driven and controlled by limit switches that are turned on and off according to the position of the shuttle plate at that time. .

  Next, the base plates 28A and 28B on which the plate sets 33A and 33B are installed will be described. Here, the relationship with the first shuttle plate 35A will be described. The relationship with the first shuttle plate 35B is the same as that except that the positional relationship is a mirror image.

  Using FIG. 5, the first LM block 40A is installed on each of the two base plates 28A and 28B. A first shuttle plate 35A (further, a plate set 33A) is installed via the first LM block 40A. The sliding direction of the first LM block 40A connecting the base plates 28A, 28B and the first shuttle plate 35A is the sliding direction of the second LM block 41A and the third LM block 42A connecting the shuttle plates in the plate set 33A described above. Is orthogonal.

  Between the base plate 28A and the other base plate 28B, a slide motor 71 for sliding the first shuttle plate 35A (and further the plate set 33A) (sliding in the X direction in FIG. 3) is disposed. The slide motor 71 can transmit the rotational force to the slide shaft 73 via the belt 71A. When the slide shaft 73 rotates, the position of the ball screw 74 can be moved in the left-right direction (X direction) in FIG. 5A by a ball screw 74 mechanism provided on the slide shaft 73. The ball screw 74 is connected to the first shuttle plate 35A. That is, the entire plate set 33A can be slid by moving the ball screw 74.

  Next, the operation of the automatic guided vehicle 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing only the shuttle unit 33 and the holding unit 32 provided in the automatic guided vehicle 20 and showing the operation state over time. FIG. 7 is a drawing showing the time until the holding pin 34 is fitted and held in the core hollow portion 4 from the axial direction.

  The conveyance of the roll body R in the automatic guided vehicle 20 is performed according to the following procedure.

  First, as a pretreatment, the roll body R placed on the loading platform 7 or the like needs to be prepared at the first position where the roll body R is taken in, for example.

  The roll body R is taken into the automatic guided vehicle 20 from the loading platform (first position) 7 according to the following procedure.

  First, the automatic guided vehicle 20 moves to the position of the loading platform 7.

  Next, the lift part 25 is operated so that the holding pin 34 of the holding part 32 stops at a height that can be inserted into the core hollow part 4 of the roll body R stored (placed) (FIG. 6). (See (A)).

  In this state, the shuttle plates of the shuttle unit 33 are sent out. At this time, the interval between the holding portions 32 is such that the interval between the end portions of the holding pins 34 is slightly wider than the end portion of the core 6 of the roll body R. (See FIGS. 6B and 7A). The loading platform 7 is installed at a position reached as a result of the movement of the pair of holding sections 32 by the shuttle section 33 (shuttle extension position).

  Thereafter, the interval between the holding portions 32 is contracted, and each holding pin 34 is fitted into the core hollow portion 4 from the axial direction of the roll body R (see FIGS. 6C and 7B).

  By further raising the lift part 25 in this state, the roll body R moves away and rises from the core receiving part 7A in the loading platform 7 (see FIG. 7C).

  Thereafter, the shuttle plate 46 is sequentially retracted while holding the roll body R (and further lowered by a necessary amount by the lift portion 25 if necessary), and the operation of taking the roll body R into the automatic guided carriage 20 is completed.

  On the other hand, the delivery of the roll body R from the automatic guided vehicle 20 to the second position is performed in the reverse procedure.

  When the delivery from the loading platform (first position) 7 is completed, the tire 22 provided on the automatic guided vehicle 20 is driven and moved to the position (second position) where the roll body R to be held is to be transported. After the movement, the roll body R that holds the lift part 25 by operating the lift part 25 is raised, and further, the lift is reached when the position of the core 6 of the roll body R reaches a position slightly higher than the core receiving part in the second position. The unit 25 is stopped.

  Thereafter, each shuttle plate of the shuttle unit 33 is slid, and the roll body R is held in the holding unit 32 (while the interval L is maintained at the interval at the time of holding) to the upper portion of the core receiving unit in the second position. Move horizontally.

  In this state, the lift portion 25 is lowered, and the core 6 of the roll body R is placed on the core receiving portion at the second position.

  Next, by separating the holding portions 32 from each other, the holding pins 34 are separated from the hollow portion 4 of the core 6 in the axial direction of the roll body, and the holding of the roll body R is released.

  Thereafter, the shuttle plates of the respective plate sets 33A, 33B are slid backward so as to be sequentially folded (and further lowered by a necessary amount by the lift unit 25 if necessary), and the roll body R is moved from the automatic guided carriage 20 to the second position. The payout (placement at the second position) is completed.

  As is clear from the above description, in the conveyance of the roll body R via the unmanned conveyance carriage 20, the step of taking the unmanned conveyance carriage 20 from the first position to the second position from the first position. The roll body R does not need to be touched at all except for the core 6 in both the unmanned transport cart moving process and the unloading process from the unmanned transport cart 20 in the second position, so the film 2 is damaged. There is no fear of it.

  Further, since the entire roll body R is held and conveyed by fitting the holding pin 34 into the hollow portion 4 of the core 6 from the axial direction, the length (width) of the projecting portion of the core 6 is It is only necessary to have a length corresponding to the core receiving portion when it is placed on, and the length can be omitted because the holding portion holds it. Thereby, it becomes possible to shorten the width | variety (core length) of the roll body R which is a conveyed product to required minimum. Further, even a core having a short core length can be stably transported, and further, the space can be effectively used not only during transportation but also during storage. Moreover, since it conveys without passing through a shaft, the above-mentioned automatic conveyance is possible. Further, even roll bodies having different core lengths can be held and transported by the same unmanned transport cart without any special design change. Also, especially during storage, the distance between the roll bodies in the vertical direction can be narrowed to a limit that does not interfere with the roll bodies themselves, and a special space for transport is required under the core of each roll body. And not.

  Although the “first position” described in the present embodiment is described as a cargo bed, it does not necessarily have to be on the cargo bed. The “second position” refers to, for example, the core receiving portion 7A of another load carrier 7, the core receiving portion of the roll body R provided in the crane mechanism, or the roll body provided in a storage place such as a warehouse. Corresponds to the core receiving part.

  Further, the structure is simple, and it is possible to flexibly cope with roll bodies of various sizes.

  For example, by attaching attachments 80, 82, 84, etc. as shown in FIG. 8 to the holding pins 34 of the pair of holding portions 32, the same transfer machine 24 and the same unmanned transfer carriage are used. Thus, it can be applied to various types or shapes of roll bodies.

  The attachment 80 is preferably used for the roll body R3 in which the length of the core 6a is short and the holding pin 34 cannot be fitted into the hollow portion 4a to a sufficient extent to hold the roll body. Further, the attachment 82 is preferably used so that the holding stress is not concentrated only in one place when the roll body R4 having a larger hollow portion 4b of the core 6b is handled. Further, the attachment 84 is preferably used when handling the roll body R5 having the core 6c having no hollow portion for the reason that if the core is thin or hollow, there is a problem in the strength as the core of the wound material.

  By mounting such attachments 80, 82, etc., various types of roll bodies R3, R4, R5 can be reliably held without hindrance.

  In the above-described embodiment, the shuttle unit moves in the horizontal direction, and the shuttle unit (and the holding unit) has a lift unit that can move in the vertical direction. However, for example, it is possible to omit the installation of the lift part by arranging the above-described shuttle part obliquely so that the movement (slide) of the shuttle part slides obliquely upward. Further, for example, like a crane, one end of the shuttle unit is supported and fixed, and the slide unit can be slid while being rotated, so that the installation of the lift unit can be omitted.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the structure which hold | maintains a roll body in a horizontal state, moves in a horizontal state, and mounts it in a horizontal state was employ | adopted. However, depending on the kind of roll body, for example, this roll You may employ | adopt the structure which hold | maintains / moves a body in a vertical state, and mounts it with a vertical state. In this case, the base body holding the shuttle portion and the holding portion of the transport mechanism may be installed on the lift portion in a state where the base body is rotated 90 degrees with respect to the above-described embodiment. In the case of holding or transporting in a vertical state, the lower end side of the core supports the roll body's own weight and supports the upper end side so that it does not fall down, but it can be transported without touching the material of the roll body at all. A common effect is obtained in that it can. Also, if the roll material can withstand vertical storage, the height (core length) of the vertical roll body can be configured to be as short as possible. The storage space can be used effectively.

  Furthermore, the installation state of the base plate itself with respect to the lift portion can be rotated, for example, 90 degrees, so that when the roll body is transferred between the loading platform or the like and the unmanned transport cart at the time of entering or leaving, the vertical (or horizontal) state. It is also possible to rotate and transport the one that is in a horizontal (or vertical) state.

  Note that the present invention functions particularly effectively when a material that dislikes contact with the transfer device or the storage device is wound on the surface of the roll body, but the object of application of the present invention is in particular the winding of the roll body. It is not limited to the quality of the material.

  Many types of rolls can be applied even when the roll body surface is wound with a material that dislikes contact with the transfer mechanism or storage mechanism, and because the structure is simple and the design can be easily changed. Since it can respond flexibly to the conveyance of a body, the field of utilization of a roll body conveyance mechanism can be expanded more than before.
