(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the combination apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. The continuous straw packaging body 21 separated from the straw packaging band 22 by the straw feeding device 20 is dropped and supplied onto the horizontal transfer path in the first conveyor 14 in a flat state. The continuous straw package 21 is conveyed to the downstream side while being sucked and held on the belt surface by the suction force of the suction chamber 23. This continuous straw wrapping body 21 passes through the curved conveyance path in the first conveyor 14 and reaches between the vertical conveyance paths of the first and second conveyors 14 and 15, and thereafter between the vertical conveyance paths of both the conveyors 14 and 15. Is conveyed while being held between the belts 19 and 27. As described above, since the transport speed of the second conveyor 15 is set slower than the transport speed of the first conveyor 14, the continuous straw package 21 is wound into a roll shape due to the speed difference between the conveyors 14 and 15. It is burned. When the diameter is increased by winding the continuous straw wrapping body 21, the second conveyor 15 swings in a direction away from the first conveyor 14 with the pivot 25 as a fulcrum, thereby the continuous straw wrapping. An increase in diameter is allowed without crushing the body 21. Further, since the endless belt 27 in the vertical conveyance path of the second conveyor 15 is urged toward the vertical conveyance path side of the first conveyor 14 by the plurality of elastic members 30, the continuous straw packaging body 21 is similarly applied. While allowing the diameter to increase without crushing, the winding of the continuous straw wrapping body 21 is maintained without loosening.

And the roll state is maintained. Further, the sheet piece 43 supplied by the sheet supply device is supported by the support means 44 in a flat state. The lower surface of the sheet piece 43 is sucked and held by the sucking means 50 facing the sucking position, and the positional deviation is suppressed.

  Next, the transfer means 40 moves from the standby position toward the operating position, and the continuous straw wrapping body 21 in the roll state held by the holding means 31 has its both side portions raised by the transfer members 42 and 42. Pressed from. At this time, the holding pieces 33 and 34 are rotated so as to open the lower end portion against the elasticity of the springs 37 and 37, and passage of the continuous straw wrapping body 21 is allowed. The roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 abuts on the upper surface between the two streaks of the sheet piece 43 supported by the support means 44 and is further pushed by the transfer means 40. At this time, the suction means 50 is also moved (moved downward) in the same direction as the transfer means 40, and displacement of the sheet piece 43 when the sheet piece 43 is pushed by the continuous straw packaging body 21 in a roll state is prevented. .

  The sheet piece 43, which is pressed from above by the continuous straw packaging body 21 in the rolled state and is integrally pressed by the support means 44, passes through the pair of support members 46, 46 in the course of passing through the two streaks. As a result, the sheet piece 43 is in a state of sandwiching the roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 such that the roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 is sandwiched. A combination 47 wrapped with the sheet pieces 43 is obtained.

  The combined body 47 is further transferred by the transfer means 40 and pushed into the recesses 49a and 49a of the receiving members 49 and 49 in the receiving means 39 facing the receiving position by the transfer conveyor 38 from above, and the combined body 47 Is held by the receiving means 39 while maintaining this state. The transfer means 40 that has transferred the combination body 47 to the receiving means 39 does not interfere with the roll-shaped continuous straw packaging body 21 held by the holding means 31 when returning from the operating position to the standby position. To move. As a result, while the combined body 47 is being transferred toward the receiving means 39 by the transfer means 40, the next continuous straw wrapping body 21 can be wound in a roll shape and held by the holding means 31. Time can be shortened.

  When the combination 47 is received by the receiving means 39, the transfer conveyor 38 is moved by one pitch corresponding to the arrangement interval of the receiving members 49 with respect to the endless chain 48, and the next receiving means 39 is moved to the receiving position. Make it come. When the two receiving means 39, 39 that receive the combined body 47 arrive at the respective insertion positions (see FIG. 6), the first pushing member 52 in each pushing means 51 moves forward and the corresponding receiving means 39 is moved forward. The combination body 47 held in (1) is pushed out toward the boxing machine 13. The combined body 47 is pushed in the concave groove 54a of the guide member 54, and the state is maintained. Next, the second pushing member 53 moves forward, pushes the combined body 47 in the concave groove 54a of the guide member 54, and the combined body 47 is inserted into the surplus space in the box 45 of the semi-box.
