The machine is known. A transport guide is provided on the film transport path of such a film applicator or film winder in order to prevent positional displacement of the film being transported (see Patent Document 1).

As the conveyance guide, a so-called vertical division type composed of an upper guide and a lower guide disposed so as to sandwich the film conveyance path is often used. A slit (through hole) through which the film is inserted is formed between the upper guide and the lower guide. In addition, a guide portion for guiding the leading end of the film into the slit is formed in both guides. The film supplied from the film supply unit is transported by a pair of transport rollers disposed on the upstream side in the film transport direction of both guides, and the leading end thereof is inserted into the slit.

  FIG. 1 shows a storage case 10 for storing a strip-shaped film piece obtained by cutting a photographic film into a plurality of frame images, a printed circuit board processed into a strip shape, and the like. The storage case 10 includes a case body 11 and a lid body 12. The lid 12 is rotatably attached to the case body 11 via a hinge shaft 13. As a result, the lid 12 is rotated between an open position for opening an opening (not shown) of the case body 11 and a closed position for closing the opening.

  When a predetermined number of film pieces and printed circuit boards are set in the case body 11, the lid body 12 is rotated from the open position to the closed position. Then, a sealing adhesive film 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as an adhesive film) 15 is pasted so as to straddle both the case main body 11 and the lid body 12, and the lid body 12 is sealed so as not to open. At this time, if the adhesive film 15 is attached obliquely, or if the attachment position of the adhesive film 15 is shifted in the film width direction, the appearance of the storage case 10 is deteriorated.

  Therefore, a substantially gate-shaped film threading member (hereinafter simply referred to as a threading member) 16 is provided on the film sticking surface 11 a of the case body 11. A slit 17 corresponding to the through hole of the present invention is formed between the through member 16 and the film application surface 11a corresponding to the installation surface of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the height H1 (see FIG. 3) of the slit 17 is 2 mm or less.

  A slit forming surface 16a (see FIG. 3) facing the film application surface 11a of the threading member 16 is formed in a flat shape. Accordingly, the cross-sectional shape of the slit 17 is formed in a rectangular shape. Then, the adhesive film 15 is attached after the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the slit 17, thereby improving the accuracy of the attaching position of the adhesive film 15. In the present embodiment, the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the slit 17 and the adhesive film 15 is attached by a film applicator 20 described later.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an example of the film sticking machine 20. The film sticking machine 20 includes a case holder 21, a film supply device 22, a film insertion device 23, and a film sticking device 24. A storage case 10 is set on the case holding base 21 with its film application surface 11a as the front side.

  The film supply device 22 corresponds to the film supply unit of the present invention, and includes a roll rotation shaft 27, a first conveyance guide 28, a second conveyance guide 29, and a cutter 30. The roll rotating shaft 27 is rotatably held by a roll holding base (not shown). A film roll 32 obtained by winding the long adhesive film 15 into a roll is set on the roll rotating shaft 27. In the present embodiment, a resin film having a width of 20 mm or less and a thickness of 0.5 mm or less is used as the adhesive film 15.

  A first motor 33 is connected to the roll rotation shaft 27 via a drive transmission mechanism (not shown). When the first motor 33 is driven to rotate, the adhesive film 15 is pulled out from the film roll 32 and conveyed along the first and second conveyance guides 28 and 29. As will be described in detail later, the second transport guide 29 can be moved in a direction parallel to the width direction of the adhesive film 15 by a shift mechanism (not shown).

  The cutter 30 is disposed between the first conveyance guide 28 and the second conveyance guide 29. The cutter 30 is driven after the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the slit 17 by a film insertion device 23 described later, and cuts the adhesive film 15 to a predetermined length.

  The film insertion device 23 embodies the present invention, and includes a film guide unit 35 and a suction conveyance unit 36. The film guide unit 35 includes an upper guide 40, a lower guide 41, a first shift mechanism 42, and a second shift mechanism 43 (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, both guides 40 and 41 are disposed in the vicinity of the slit opening 17 a on the film insertion side of the slit 17.

  The upper guide 40 corresponds to the first guide of the present invention, and is formed in a substantially block shape. A guide groove 45 extending in a direction parallel to the film insertion direction is formed on the guide surface 40a (see FIGS. 5 and 6) facing the film application surface 11a of the upper guide 40. The cross-sectional shape along the film width direction of the bottom surface 45a of the guide groove 45 (hereinafter simply referred to as the width-direction cross-sectional shape) is formed to be the same as the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the slit forming surface 16a of the threading member 16 (see FIG. 6).

  The lower guide 41 corresponds to the second guide of the present invention, and is a guide plate (flat plate) formed in a shape along the film sticking surface 11a. Although not shown, the lower guide 41 is formed in a substantially T shape, and is disposed between the upper guide 40 and the film application surface 11a. The convex portion of the substantially T-shaped lower guide 41 has a width shorter than the width of the guide groove 45 of the upper guide 40, and forms a guide passage 47 covering the guide groove 45. By arranging the lower guide 41 in this way, even when a step is formed on the film application surface 11a on the near side of the slit 17, the film tip 15 is prevented from being caught by this step.

  The first shift mechanism 42 (see FIG. 2) corresponds to the first guide moving means of the present invention, and includes a cam, an air cylinder, etc. (not shown). The first shift mechanism 42 has a first guide position (see FIGS. 3 and 4) where the upper guide 40 is formed with a guide passage 47, and a vertical direction from the first guide position to the film application surface 11a (hereinafter, referred to as “first guide position”). The first guide is retracted in the vertical direction (refer to FIGS. 5 and 6). In this embodiment, when the upper guide 40 is moved to the first guide position, the guide surface 40a abuts on the film application surface 11a. The upper guide 40 has a positioning portion 48 that comes into contact with the threading member 16 when moved to the first guide position. Accordingly, the vertical position of the guide groove 45 (guide passage 47) can be matched with the position of the slit opening 17a of the slit 17.

  The second shift mechanism 43 (see FIGS. 4 and 6) corresponds to the second guide moving means of the present invention, and is configured by a cam, an air cylinder, and the like, similar to the first shift mechanism 42. The second shift mechanism 43 retracts the lower guide 41 in a second guide position where the guide passage 47 is formed (see FIGS. 3 and 4) and in a direction parallel to the film width direction from the second guide position. It is moved between the second guide retracted positions (see FIGS. 5 and 6). In the present embodiment, when the lower guide 41 is also moved to the second guide position, the lower guide 41 comes into contact with the film application surface 11a. Thus, the guide passage 47 can be formed by moving the guides 40 and 41 to the first and second guide positions, respectively, when the film is inserted. Further, after the film is inserted, both guides 40 and 41 can be retracted from the film application surface 11a.

  The guide passage 47 guides the film leading end 15 a of the adhesive film 15 toward the slit 17. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface 45a and the side surface 45b of the guide groove 45 are formed in a tapered shape so that the size (depth and width of the groove) of the guide groove 45 gradually increases as the distance from the slit 17 increases. The taper angle formed by the bottom surface 45a of the guide groove 45 and the lower guide 41 and the taper angle formed by the both side surfaces 45b of the guide groove 45 are adjusted in the range of 5 to 20 °.

  Further, the first passage opening 47a on the side facing the slit 17 of the guide passage 47 is formed in a size smaller than the slit 17 (slit opening 17a). In the present embodiment, the height H2 of the first passage opening 47a from the film application surface 11a is formed to be smaller by 0.25 mm than the height H1 of the slit 17 (see FIGS. 3 and 6). Further, the width W2 of the first passage opening 47a is smaller than the width W1 of the slit 17 by 0.5 mm (see FIG. 6). Thus, the film leading end 15a can be easily guided to the slit 17 by adjusting the shape of the guide groove 45 and the size of the opening of the first passage opening 47a. Reference numeral 47b in the figure is a second passage opening on the opposite side of the guide passage 47 from the first passage opening 47a.

The suction conveyance unit 36 corresponds to the film suction conveyance means of the present invention, holds the adhesive film 15 supplied from the film supply device 22 by suction, and inserts the film 15 into the guide passage 47. As shown in FIG. 2, the suction conveyance unit 36 includes first and second suction blocks 51 and 52, first and second air cylinders 53 and 54, a cylinder holding base 55, a lead screw 56, and a second motor. 57 and an air nozzle 58.

  The first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 correspond to the suction member of the present invention, and are arranged side by side along a direction parallel to the film insertion direction. Hereinafter, the first suction block 51 on the guide passage 47 side will be described with reference to FIG. Inside the first suction block 51, an air passage 60 having a plurality of openings in the suction surface 59 is formed. The other end of the air passage 60 is connected to a first vacuum pump 62 (see FIG. 2) via an air tube 61.

  When air is sucked by the first vacuum pump 62, the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held on the suction surface 59 of the first suction block 51. At this time, in the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the suction surface 59 is formed in a curved shape so as to be convex in the direction opposite to the film application surface 11a. As a result, the adhering and holding adhesive film 15 can be bent into the same shape, so that the stiffness of the adhering film 15 can be increased.

  The second suction block 52 has the same shape as the first suction block 51 and is connected to the second vacuum pump 63 (see FIG. 2). When air is sucked by the second vacuum pump 63, the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held on the suction surface 59 of the second suction block 52.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 are held on a cylinder holding base 55 via first and second air cylinders 53 and 54, respectively. These air cylinders 53 and 54 correspond to the second suction member moving means of the present invention. The first suction block 51 is fixed to the tip of the piston rod 53 a of the first air cylinder 53. The first air cylinder 53 holds the first suction block 51 so as to be slidable in a direction parallel to the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the first suction cylinder 51 is moved by the first air cylinder 53 to a total of three positions, a “retraction position during transport”, a “suction position during transport”, and a “opposite position” which will be described later.

  The 2nd air cylinder 54 is the same structure as the 1st air cylinder 53, and has the piston rod 54a to which the 2nd adsorption | suction block 52 was fixed. The second air cylinder 54 moves the second suction block 52 to a total of three positions: the above-mentioned “retraction position during transport”, “suction position during transport”, and “opposite position”.

  Both air cylinders 53 and 54 are fixed to a cylinder holding base 55. The cylinder holder 55 is formed with a screw hole (not shown) into which a lead screw 56 extending in a direction parallel to the film insertion direction is screwed. A second motor 57 is connected to one end of the lead screw 56 via a drive transmission mechanism (not shown).

  The lead screw 56 and the second motor 57 correspond to the first suction member moving means of the present invention. For example, when the second motor 57 is rotated forward, the cylinder holding base 55, that is, both suction blocks 53 and 54 are moved in the film insertion direction. When the second motor 57 is reversed, both suction blocks 53 and 54 are moved in the direction opposite to the film insertion direction. In this embodiment, the driving of the second motor 57 is controlled to move the cylinder holding base 55 to a “standby position”, a “first insertion position”, and a “second insertion position” which will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the adhesive film 15 is supplied from the film supply device 22, the second motor 57 is driven to move the cylinder holding base 55 to a standby position in the vicinity of the film supply device 22. Next, both air cylinders 53 and 54 are driven to move both suction blocks 51 and 52 at the retreat position during transport toward the suction position during transport. Here, the retracted position during conveyance is a position where the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 do not come into contact with the adhesive film 15, and is further away from the film application surface 11a than the upper guide 40 in the first guide position. (See FIG. 13). The suction position at the time of conveyance is a position where the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 come into contact with the adhesive film 15 sent out from the film roll 32. When these movements are completed, the vacuum pumps 62 and 63 are driven, and the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held by the suction blocks 51 and 52.

  At this time, in this embodiment, the delivery amount of the adhesive film 15 is adjusted so that a distance L1 between the film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 and the first suction block 51 is ensured by a predetermined distance. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the length of the slit 17 is L2, the length of the guide passage 47 is L3, and the clearance between the slit 17 and the guide passage 47 is L4, L1> L2 + L3 + L4 is satisfied. That is, when the first suction block 51 is moved to a first insertion position, which will be described later, close to the guide passage 47, the film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 comes out of the slit 17 (see FIG. 12).

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the adhesive film 15 is adsorbed and held by both adsorbing blocks 51 and 52, both air cylinders 53 and 54 are driven so that the adsorbing blocks 51 and 52 are directed vertically opposite positions in the figure. Move. This facing position is a position where the film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 held by suction on both suction blocks 51 and 52 faces the second passage opening 47b of the guide passage 47 (see FIG. 10).

  When either of the suction blocks 51 and 52 is moved to the facing position, if one of them moves with a delay, the adhering adhesive film 15 may come off or shift. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the set speed V1 when moving the first suction block 51 to the facing position is set to a speed higher than the set speed V2 of the second suction block 52. The first suction block 51 is provided with a pressing portion 51 a and the second suction block 52 is provided with a pressed portion 52 a. And when both adsorption | suction blocks 51 and 52 are moved to an opposing position, the to-be-pressed part 52a is pressed by the press part 51a. That is, since the second suction block 52 having a low set speed is pressed by the first suction block 51 having a high set speed, both the suction blocks 51 and 52 can be moved simultaneously.

  When the adhesive film 15 is held by suction, the second shift mechanism 43 is driven to move the lower guide 41 to the second guide position, and then the first shift mechanism 42 is driven to move the upper guide 40 to the first guide. Move to position.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when both the suction blocks 51 and 52 are moved to the opposing positions, the second motor 57 is driven to move the cylinder holding base 55 in the standby position toward the first insertion position. Here, the first insertion position is a position where the first suction block 51 is close to the second passage opening 47b of the guide passage 47 (see FIG. 12). As a result, the adhesive film 15 is pulled out from the film roll 32, and the adhesive film 15 is translated in the direction of inserting the film. At this time, since the drive of the first motor 33 is stopped, the film roll 32 (roll rotating shaft 27) rotates in accordance with the drawing of the adhesive film 15. In addition, you may cancel | release connection with the 1st motor 33 and the roll rotating shaft 27 as needed.

  At this time, a predetermined gap Δd (see FIG. 9) is secured between the adhesive film 15 sucked and held by the suction blocks 51 and 52 at the opposing positions and the lower guide 41. In the present embodiment, for example, Δd is secured to 0.1 to 1.0 mm. Thereby, when the adhesive film 15 is sucked and conveyed, the contact between the adhesive film 15 and the lower guide 41 is prevented. As a result, since no frictional force is generated between the adhesive film 15 and the lower guide 41, the adhesive film 15 can be conveyed with high accuracy.

  When the cylinder holding base 55 is continuously moved toward the first insertion position, the film leading end 15 a of the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the guide passage 47. At this time, since the adhesive film 15 is supplied from the film roll 32, the tip end portion thereof may be largely curled and cannot be inserted into the guide passage 47. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the curl of the film 15 is corrected by blowing air from the air nozzle 58 to the tip of the adhesive film 15.

  The air nozzle 58 is held by a nozzle holding member 66 provided on the cylinder holding base 55. An air supply source 68 (see FIG. 15) is connected to the air nozzle 58 via an air tube (not shown). The air supply source 68 generates air of 0.1 to 0.6 MPa. The air generated by the air supply source 68 is blown from the air nozzle 58 to the tip of the adhesive film 15 before being inserted into the guide passage 47. Since air is blown obliquely from above the adhesive film 15, the curl at the tip of the adhesive film 15 is corrected. Thereby, the film leading end 15 a can be reliably inserted into the guide passage 47. The air blowing may be stopped when the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the first insertion position.

  The film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 inserted into the guide passage 47 is guided to the slit opening 17a of the slit 17 along the guide passage 47 as the cylinder holding base 55 is moved toward the first insertion position. The When the cylinder holding base 55 is continuously moved toward the first insertion position, the film tip 15 is inserted into the slit 17 through the slit opening 17a. As shown in FIG. 12, when the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the first insertion position, the film tip 15 a of the adhesive film 15 comes out of the slit 17.

  When the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the first insertion position, the driving of the first vacuum pump 62 is stopped, and the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the first suction block 51 is released. Next, the first air cylinder 53 is driven to move the first suction block 51 at the facing position to the retreat position during conveyance (see FIG. 13).

  If the 1st adsorption | suction block 51 is moved to the retraction | saving position at the time of conveyance, the 2nd motor 57 (refer FIG. 2) will be driven, and the cylinder holding stand 55 in a 1st insertion position will be moved toward a 2nd insertion position. As shown in FIG. 13, the second insertion position is a position where the second suction block 52 is close to the second passage opening 47 b of the guide passage 47. By this movement, the adhesive film 15 is further translated in the direction of inserting the film, so that a certain amount of the adhesive film 15 can be taken out from the slit 17. Thus, the insertion of the adhesive film 15 into the slit 17 is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the film sticking device 24 includes a first sticking suction unit 70, a second sticking suction unit 71, and a third shift mechanism 72. In addition, the film sticking apparatus 24 is not limited to the above-mentioned structure.

  The first sticking suction unit 70 includes a third suction block 74 and a third air cylinder 75. The third suction block 74 is disposed in the vicinity of the slit opening 17 b opposite to the slit opening 17 a of the slit 17, and has a structure capable of sucking and holding the adhesive film 15 similarly to the first suction block 51. The third suction block 74 is connected to the third vacuum pump 76 via an air tube (not shown).

  The third air cylinder 75 holds the third suction block 74 movably in a direction parallel to the vertical direction described above. Specifically, the third air cylinder 75 moves the third suction block 74 to a “first sticking retraction position”, a “first sticking suction position”, and a “first sticking position” to be described later. .

  The second sticking suction unit 71 has basically the same structure as the first sticking suction unit 70, a fourth suction block 78 disposed at a position facing the second transport guide 29, and a fourth air cylinder. 79. A fourth vacuum pump 80 is connected to the fourth suction block 78. The fourth air cylinder 79 moves the fourth suction block 78 to a “second pasting retract position”, “second pasting suction position”, and “second pasting position”, which will be described later.

  The third shift mechanism 72 holds the first sticking suction unit 70 movably in a direction parallel to the film insertion direction. The third shift mechanism 72 moves the first sticking suction unit 70 to a “receiving position” and a “third sticking position” which will be described later.

  Before the adhesive film 15 is inserted, the suction blocks 74 and 78 are moved to the first and second sticking retracted positions, respectively. Further, the third shift mechanism 72 is driven to move the first sticking suction unit 70 to the receiving position. Here, the first and second sticking retracted positions are positions where the third and fourth suction blocks 74 and 78 do not contact the adhesive film 15, respectively. Further, the receiving position is a position where the third suction block 74 faces the tip of the adhesive film 15 that has come out of the slit 17 (see FIG. 13).

  When the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the slit 17, the third and fourth air cylinders 75 and 79 are driven to move the suction blocks 74 and 78 vertically downward toward the first and second sticking positions, respectively. Let Here, the first and second sticking suction positions are positions where the suction blocks 74 and 78 are in contact with the adhesive film 15, respectively. Thereby, the 3rd adsorption | suction block 74 contact | abuts to the part which has come out from the slit 17 of the adhesive film 15. FIG. The fourth suction block 74 abuts on a portion of the adhesive film 15 that is held by the second transport guide 29. When the movement of both suction blocks 74 and 78 is completed, the third and fourth vacuum pumps 76 and 80 are driven to hold the adhesive film 15 by suction with both suction blocks 74 and 78.

  When the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held by the suction blocks 74 and 78, the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the second suction block 52 is released. At the same time, the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the standby position, and the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 are moved to the retreat position during conveyance. Next, after the upper guide 40 is moved to the first guide retracted position, the lower guide 41 is moved to the second guide retracted position.

  When the retraction of both guides 40 and 41 is completed, the cutter 30 is driven to cut the adhesive film 15 into a predetermined length. Next, a shift mechanism (not shown) is driven to retract the second transport guide 29 from the transport path of the adhesive film 15. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the third shift is performed while driving the third and fourth air cylinders 75 and 79 to move the third and fourth suction blocks 74 and 78 to the first and second sticking positions, respectively. The mechanism 72 is driven to move the first sticking suction unit 70 to the third sticking position. Here, the first sticking position is a position where the adhesive film 15 sucked by the third both suction blocks 74 comes into contact with the film sticking surface 12a, and the second sticking position is the adhesive sucked by the fourth suction block 78. This is the position where the film 15 comes into contact with the film application surface 11a. The third sticking position is a position where the adhesive film 15 can be pulled out from the slit 17 by a predetermined amount to remove the slack of the adhesive film 15.

  When these movements are completed, the adhesive film 15 inserted through the slit 17 is pasted so as to straddle the film pasting surface 11a of the case body 11 and the film pasting surface 12a of the lid 12 and the lid 12 is not opened. Sealed.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the controller 82 controls each device and each unit constituting the above-described film pasting machine 20. The controller 82 includes a motor control unit 84, a cylinder drive control unit 85, a pump drive control unit 86, a shift control unit 87, an air blowing control unit 88, and a cutter drive control unit 89. The controller 82 also functions as a repetitive control means of the present invention.

  The motor control unit 84 corresponds to the first suction plate movement control means of the present invention, and controls the driving of the first and second motors 33 and 57 individually. The cylinder drive control unit 85 corresponds to the second suction plate movement control means of the present invention, and individually controls the drive of the first to fourth air cylinders 53, 54, 75, and 79. The pump drive control unit 86 corresponds to the adsorption switching control means of the present invention, and individually controls the driving of the first to fourth vacuum pumps 62, 63, 76, and 80.

  The shift control unit 87 corresponds to the first and second guide movement control means of the present invention, and individually controls the driving of the first to third shift mechanisms 42, 43, and 72. The air blowing control unit 88 controls the blowing of air from the air nozzle 58 by controlling the driving of the air supply source 68. The cutter control unit 89 controls driving of the cutter 30.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When a predetermined number of film pieces and printed circuit boards are set in the case main body 11 of the storage case 10, the lid 12 is rotated from the open position to the closed position. Then, the storage case 10 is set on the case holding base 21 of the film sticking machine 20.

  When an operation start operation of the film sticking machine 20 is performed after the case setting, the motor control unit 84 of the controller 82 drives the first motor 33 to rotate the film roll 32. Thereby, the adhesive film 15 is pulled out from the film roll 32 and is conveyed along the first and second conveyance guides 28 and 29. The motor control unit 84 stops the driving of the first motor 33 when the film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 is transported to a position where the above-described distance L1 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) can be secured.

  Next, the motor control unit 84 drives the second motor 57 to move the cylinder holding base 55 to the standby position. Further, the cylinder drive control unit 85 of the controller 82 drives the first and second air cylinders 53 and 54 to move the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 to the suction position during conveyance. After this movement, the pump drive control unit 86 of the controller 82 drives the first and second pumps 62 and 63 to suck and hold the adhesive film 15 by the suction blocks 51 and 52 (see FIG. 8).

  When the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held, the shift control unit 87 of the controller 82 drives the first and second shift mechanisms 42 and 43 to move the lower guide 41 to the second guide position, and then the upper guide 40. Is moved to the first guide position. Thereby, the guide passage 47 is formed. At this time, since the upper guide 40 has the positioning portion 48 described above, the vertical position of the guide passage 47 and the position of the slit opening 17 a of the slit 17 can be matched.

  Further, the cylinder drive control unit 85 drives the first and second air cylinders 53 and 54 to move the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 to the opposing positions. In the present embodiment, since the first suction block 51 having a fast setting speed is moved while pressing the second suction block 52 having a slow setting speed, both the suction blocks 51 and 52 can be moved simultaneously. As a result, the adhering adhesive film 15 is prevented from being detached or displaced.

  When the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 are moved to the opposing positions, the motor control unit 84 drives the second motor 57 to move the cylinder holding base 55 toward the first insertion position. As a result, the adhesive film 15 is pulled out from the film roll 32, and the film tip 15 a of the adhesive film 15 is translated toward the guide passage 47. During this movement, since a predetermined gap Δd (see FIG. 8) is secured between the adhesive film 15 and the lower guide 41, contact between the adhesive film 15 and the lower guide 41 is prevented. As a result, the adhesive film 15 can be accurately conveyed.

  During this movement, the air blowing control unit 88 of the controller 82 drives the air supply source 68 to generate air of a predetermined pressure. The generated air is blown from the air nozzle 58 to the tip of the adhesive film 15 before being inserted into the guide passage 47. Thereby, the curl of the front-end | tip part of the adhesive film 15 is corrected.

  When the cylinder holding base 55 is continuously moved toward the first insertion position, the film leading end 15 a of the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the guide passage 47. The inserted film tip 15 a is guided to the slit 17 along the guide passage 47. When the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the first insertion position, the film tip 15a comes out of the slit 17 as described above (see FIG. 12).

  The pump drive control unit 86 stops driving the first vacuum pump 62 and releases the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the first suction block 51. Next, the cylinder drive control unit 85 drives the first air cylinder 53 to move the first suction block 51 to the retreat position during conveyance. When this movement is completed, the motor control unit 84 drives the second motor 57 to move the cylinder holding base 55 to the second insertion position. In accordance with this movement, the adhesive film 15 is further translated in the direction of inserting the film, so that a certain amount of the adhesive film 15 can be taken out from the slit 17 (see FIG. 13). The insertion of the adhesive film 15 is completed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, only when the film is inserted, the upper guide 40 and the lower guide 41 are arranged in the vicinity of the slit opening 17a of the slit 17, and the guide passage 47 guides the film tip 15a of the adhesive film 15 to the slit opening 17a. Thus, there is no need to always install an upper and lower guide or the like in the vicinity of the slit 17 as in the prior art. Thereby, since it was difficult to install the guide, it is possible to automate the insertion work of the adhesive film 15 which has been performed manually. As a result, production efficiency can be significantly improved.

  In the present embodiment, the adhesive film 15 is sucked by the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52, and the film leading end 15 a is inserted into the guide passage 47. Since the adhesive film 15 is inserted through the slit 17 by continuing this insertion, there is no risk of slipping unlike the conventional roller transport system, and the film is transported with a specified amount with high accuracy. Can do. Further, even if the type of the adhesive film 15 to be used is changed and the coefficient of friction of the film is changed, there is no possibility of affecting the conveyance of the adhesive film 15. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the conveyance every time the film type is switched, and the labor of the operation can be reduced.

  When the adhesive film 15 is inserted into the slit 17, the third and fourth suction blocks 74 and 78 are moved to the first and second sticking suction positions, respectively, and the adhesive film 15 is sucked and held by both suction blocks 74 and 78. Let Next, the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the second suction block 52 is released. Thereafter, the cylinder holding base 55 is moved to the standby position, and the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 are moved to the retreat position during conveyance. Further, after the upper guide 40 is moved to the first guide retracted position, the lower guide 41 is moved to the second guide retracted position.

  After moving both guides, the adhesive film 15 is cut into a predetermined length by the cutter 30. After this cutting, the second conveyance guide 29 is retracted from the conveyance path of the adhesive film 15. Then, the third and fourth suction blocks 74 and 78 are moved to the first and second sticking positions, respectively, and the first sticking suction unit 70 is moved to the third sticking position (see FIG. 14). Thereby, the adhesive film 15 is pasted so as to straddle both film pasting surfaces 11a and 12a, and the lid 12 is sealed so as not to open (see FIG. 1). When this pasting is completed, the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the suction blocks 74 and 78 is released. When the next storage case 10 is set on the case holding base 21, the above-described process may be repeated.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the case main body 11 (storage case 10) is formed in the substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, this invention is not limited to this, You may form in the column shape. For example, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, when the case body 100 is formed in a columnar shape, the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the film application surface 100a is formed in a curved surface shape. A slit 103 is formed between the film sticking surface 100a and the through member 102 provided on the film sticking surface 100a. At this time, the slit forming surface 102a of the threading member 102 is formed such that its cross-sectional shape in the width direction is along the film application surface 100a.

  Thus, when the film sticking surface 100a and the slit forming surface 102a are formed in a curved surface shape, both guides 105 and 106 are formed in a shape corresponding to both surfaces 100a and 102a. Specifically, a guide groove 107 that guides the film leading end 15 into the slit 103 is formed in the upper guide 105. As with the guide groove 45 described above, the guide groove 107 has a bottom surface 107a and a side surface 107b of the groove that are tapered. Then, the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the bottom surface 107a of the guide groove 107 is formed to be the same shape as the slit forming surface 102a, that is, a curved surface shape.

  The lower guide 106 is a thin plate having a thickness of 1 mm or less, and the cross-sectional shape in the width direction is formed to be the same as the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the film application surface 100a. That is, the lower guide 106 is curved so as to protrude toward the upper guide 105. The lower guide 106 covers the guide groove 107 of the upper guide 105 and forms a guide passage 108 in the same manner as the lower guide 41 described above.

  The upper guide 105 is retracted in the vertical direction from the first guide position (see FIG. 17) where the guide passage 108 is formed, and the first guide position by the first shift mechanism 42 (see FIG. 2). It is moved between one guide retracted position (see FIG. 16).

  The lower guide 106 is parallel to the film width direction from the second guide position (see FIG. 17) where the guide passage 108 is formed by the second shift mechanism 42 (see FIG. 4) and the second guide position. It is moved between the second guide retracting positions (see FIG. 16) retracted in the appropriate direction. When the lower guide 106 is moved toward the second guide position, the guide end portion 106a on the side facing the slit 103 gets over the film application surface 100a. Therefore, it is preferable that the guide end portion 106a is curved so as to easily get over the film application surface 100a.

  As described above, the bottom surface 107a of the guide groove 107 of the upper guide 105 is formed in a shape corresponding to the slit forming surface 102a, and the lower guide 106 is formed in a shape corresponding to the film application surface 100a, thereby forming a curved film. The adhesive film 15 can be inserted through the slit 103 formed between the sticking surface 100a and the through member 102 without any problem. The same applies to the case where the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the film application surface or the slit forming surface is formed in a shape other than the flat shape and the curved surface shape described above.

  In the above embodiment, the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the suction surface 59 of the first suction block 51 (the same applies to the second suction block 52) is formed in a curved shape (see FIG. 7). For example, as in the suction block 110 shown in FIG. 18, the cross-sectional shape in the width direction of the guide surface 110 a may be formed in a flat shape. Further, for example, like the suction block 112 shown in FIG. 19, the guide surface 112 a may be formed in a concave shape in which the cross-sectional shape in the width direction is wider than the width of the adhesive film 15. In this case, the adhesive film 15 can be prevented from coming into contact with the lower guide 41 when the film is inserted by adjusting the depth of the recess.

  In the above embodiment, the first and second suction cylinders 51 and 52 are moved in the direction parallel to the vertical direction using the first and second air cylinders 53 and 54. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various shift mechanisms including, for example, a cam or a lead screw may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the lead holder 56 and the second motor 57 are used to move the cylinder holding base 55 in a direction parallel to the film insertion direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, various shift mechanisms such as an air cylinder or a cam may be used.

  In the above embodiment, only two suction blocks for sucking and transporting the adhesive film 15 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, depending on the length of the guide passage 47 and the like. 3 or more may be provided. In this case, when the plurality of suction blocks are moved from the retracted position during conveyance to the facing position, the set speed at the time of movement is set to be faster or slower as the block is located on the guide passage 47 side. And as above-mentioned, each adsorption | suction block is moved simultaneously by pressing the slow one to the faster setting speed among the adsorption | suction blocks adjacent to each other.

When three or more suction blocks are provided as described above, the following steps (1) to (3) may be repeated in order when the adhesive film 15 is inserted through the slit 17.
A step of moving the block closest to the guide passage 47 among the suction blocks at the opposing position to a close position close to the guide passage 47.
A step of releasing the suction of the adhesive film 15 by the suction block when the suction block closest to the guide passage 47 is moved to the close position.
A step of moving the suction block closest to the guide passage 47 to the retracted position during conveyance after the suction is released.

  When the above steps (1) to (3) are repeated in order, the controller 82 causes the motor control unit 84, the pump drive control unit 86, and the cylinder drive control unit 85 to repeatedly perform control in order. Thereby, even when three or more suction blocks are provided, the adhesive film 15 can be inserted into the slit 17.

  In the above embodiment, the first and second suction blocks 51 and 52 are used for sucking and transporting the adhesive film 15, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the adhesive film 15 can be sucked and transported. If present, various adsorbing members such as an adsorbing plate may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the guide passage 47 is formed by the upper guide 40 and the lower guide 41. However, if no step is formed on the film application surface 11a on the near side of the slit 17, the lower guide is formed. 41 may not be provided. In this case, the guide groove 45 of the upper guide 40 becomes a guide passage.

  In the above embodiment, air is blown from the air nozzle 58 every time, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the amount of curl at the tip of the adhesive film 15 may be detected, and air may be blown only when the amount of curl is greater than or equal to a predetermined size.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the case where the adhesive film 15 is penetrated by the slit 17 formed between the film sticking surface 11a of the storage case 10 and the threading member 16 provided on this sticking surface 11a is demonstrated to an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is also applicable to the case where various films are inserted through slits formed between various installation surfaces and through members provided on the installation surfaces. The invention can be applied.
