Description

  The present invention relates to a code conveying device and a conveying method for conveying codes in a single direction while keeping the codes in a parallel state.

  Conventionally, for example, fiber cords made of organic raw materials have been used in a wide range of fields as industrial products or raw materials thereof. For example, a fiber cord for reinforcing rubber composed of synthetic fibers made of polyester, nylon, or the like is used as a reinforcing material for rubber industrial products such as pneumatic tires, conveyor belts, hoses, and air springs. In general, the fiber cord is produced by twisting chemically synthesized raw yarn with a twisting machine. The fiber cord used for rubber reinforcement is dipped into a dipping cord after being soaked in an adhesive solvent necessary to adhere to the rubber. Rubber products or intermediate members are manufactured by coating rubber with the dipping cord as an aggregate. Such a fiber cord is simultaneously conveyed and processed by unwinding a plurality of cords from a bobbin or the like.

The above fiber cord is continuously conveyed and processed. The transport and processing of the fiber cord is switched from the bobbin that has been unwound to a new bobbin, and the end of the fiber cord that has been unwound and the start end of the fiber cord that has been unwound from the new bobbin that has been unwound By doing so, the fiber cord is continuously performed.
For example, the technique shown in Patent Document 1 is disclosed as an apparatus for conveying and processing a code, and an apparatus as shown in FIG. 15 is used. Moreover, what is shown to patent document 2 is proposed about the technique which knots the fiber cord conveyed.

However, in the cord transport apparatus shown in FIG. 15, a nodule portion is formed in the cord that is knotted by the method and apparatus described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. The tip of the knot of the knot portion comes into contact with the tip of the knot of the adjacent cord that is conveyed in translation, causing entanglement. Since this problem also depends on the speed at which the code is transported, it is a cause of hindering stable production when the code transport speed is increased to improve production efficiency. In particular, when a process for processing a cord is included in the middle of a path for transporting a fiber cord, a defect caused by the transport affects a subsequent process using the processed cord, and the production is stopped in a chain. It has caused problems such as causing a significant decline in production efficiency.
In addition, even when carrying a cord that does not have a knot, if you carry multiple cords, the cords will be in close proximity while being parallel to each other. As a result, the cords are swayed and the adjacent cords are entangled with each other.
As a method of solving these problems, a method of transporting codes while ensuring a sufficient width between adjacent codes can be considered. However, this method is practically difficult because it requires a large space in the direction in which the conveyed codes are arranged.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a tire T as an example in which a cord conveyed and processed by a cord conveying device according to the present invention is used. The tire T is roughly configured by an inner liner T1, a carcass T2, a belt T3, a bead cord T4, a bead filler T5, and the like.
The inner liner T1 is a rubber layer for maintaining the internal pressure of the tire T so as to maintain the internal pressure of the tire T and prevent air from leaking from the inside of the tire T.

  The carcass T2 is formed by adhering to a carcass rubber using a fiber cord 10 called a ply cord T6 or a steel cord as a skeleton. As the fiber cord 10, polyester or rayon is often used. The fiber cord 10 used for the reinforcing material of the carcass T2 is processed into a comb shape and becomes a fiber cord reinforcing material. The carcass T2 is formed by pressurizing the interdigital fiber cord reinforcing material while heating the rubber member from both sides. The performance required for the carcass T2 is that the adhesiveness between the carcass rubber and the fiber cord 10 is maintained even when subjected to repeated bending deformation, and the heat resistance is excellent. The carcass T2 is formed so as to be folded outward at the bead portion of the tire T and wrap around the bead cord T4 and the bead filler T5.

  The belt T3 is disposed at the center upper portion of the carcass T2, and has a role of suppressing deformation due to internal pressure and rotation of the tire T, and receiving an input from the road surface to alleviate the impact. Rayon, polyester, and glass fiber were used as the material for the reinforcing cord of the belt T3, but recently, steel cord is mostly used. The belt T3 is formed by bonding a belt rubber and a steel cord. The performance required of the belt T3 is that the belt rubber and the steel cord are kept in close contact with each other even when the end portion of the belt T3 is repeatedly subjected to a shearing direction force and has excellent heat resistance.

  The bead cord T4 is made of a steel cord or the like, and maintains the internal pressure with the wheel rim or prevents the tire T from slipping between the tire T and the wheel rim against torque acting on the rotating tire T. It plays the role of fixing to the wheel rim. Around the bead cord T4, a bead filler T5 made of rubber as a basic material is provided.

The bead filler T5 is a member made of hard or soft rubber, and fills the folded portion of the carcass T2 in the bead portion and serves as a reinforcing member for the bead portion.
As described above, the tire T achieves the required strength by the FRR (fiber-reinforced rubber) structure in which the rubber members of the respective parts constituting the tire T are reinforced by the fiber cord 10 or the steel cord.

FIG. 2 shows an outline of a series of steps from the processing start to the processing end for processing a cord such as a fiber cord 10 or a steel cord in the cord transport apparatus 1.
The above-described fiber cord 10 and steel cord are processed by a cord conveying device 1 as shown in FIG. 2 in order to improve the adhesion with a belt rubber or a carcass rubber.
For example, in the case of the fiber cord 10, a dipping process is performed in which the fiber cord 10 is dipped while being transported into the bath 62 filled with the adhesive solvent 61 and coated so as to promote adhesion between the fiber cord 10 and the carcass rubber.

In the case of a steel cord, a dipping process is performed to dip and coat the steel cord while transporting it to a bath 62 filled with an adhesive solvent 61 or a plating treatment agent for rust prevention so as to promote the adhesion between the steel cord and the belt rubber. Then, the steel cord surface is coated with the adhesive solvent 61 or the plating treatment agent.
In the first embodiment, an embodiment in which the fiber cord 10 is processed as a cord processed by the cord transport apparatus 1 will be described.

FIG. 3 is a top view of a schematic process diagram schematically showing the cord transport apparatus 1 for processing the cord according to the present invention.
2 and 3 are arranged such that the cord arrangement direction a of the fiber cords 10 to be processed is substantially horizontal, and the plurality of fiber cords 10 are arranged while being kept in parallel, and It is the form which comprised the code conveyance means 50 conveyed in one direction.
In addition, although arranged so that the cord arrangement direction a of the fiber cord 10 is almost horizontal, when the number of cords to be conveyed is large, the cords are conveyed in consideration of the spatial occupation of the route for conveying the cords. The code conveying device 1 may be configured so that the code arrangement direction a of the codes to be arranged is conveyed in the vertical direction.

The cord transport device 1 includes a cord transport unit 50 that transports a plurality of, or ten, fiber cords 10 that are unwound from the unwinding unit 35 in a parallel state while keeping them in a parallel state.
The cord carrying means 50 is configured so that at least adjacent fiber cords 10 of the fiber cords 10 that are conveyed in a parallel state are perpendicular to the cord extending direction b and the cord arranging direction a of the fiber cords 10 (see FIG. 4). In addition, for example, the fiber cords 10 are configured to be separated from each other by being conveyed through a path shifted by a distance L. Although the direction N is perpendicular to the cord extending direction b and the cord arranging direction a, it is not necessarily strictly perpendicular.

Processing of the fiber cord 10 is started from unwinding means 35 that unwinds the fiber cord 10 wound around the bobbin 42 as a strand or a stranded wire from the bobbin 42.
In the next step, when unwinding of the fiber cord 10 is completed in the unwinding means 35, the cord end 10A of the fiber cord 10 conveyed from the bobbin 42 that has been unwound and a cord unwound from a new bobbin. A knotting means 40 having an air splicer 46 for knotting the start end 10B is provided.
In the next step, a plurality of fiber cords 10 to be conveyed are conveyed via a path in which adjacent fiber cords 10 are displaced by a distance L in a direction N substantially perpendicular to the cord extending direction b of the fiber cords 10. A code conveying means 50 is provided. Details of the code conveying means 50 will be described later.
When the fiber cord 10 passing through the cord conveying means 50 is conveyed in one direction while maintaining the parallel state again, the fiber cord 10 may be shaken. Therefore, the side shake preventing means by the restricting portion 20 that restricts the side shake. The latter stage roll 7 is provided.
In the next step, the dipping means 60 having the dip roll 9 is provided by immersing a plurality of cords conveyed in one direction while maintaining a parallel state in the adhesive solvent 61.
In the next step, a drying means 65 having a drying device 66 for drying a plurality of cords immersed in the adhesive solvent 61 is provided.
In the next process, the bobbin 43 is provided, and a plurality of dried fiber cords 10 are wound up by the winding means 70, whereby the process of processing the fiber cords 10 is completed.
In addition, between each process, the conveyance roll which can rotate freely which is not shown in figure is provided suitably.

In the unwinding means 35, the fiber cord 10 to be processed is unwound from the wound bobbin 42.
In the unwinding means 35, two bobbins 42 are set in a turret (not shown), and when the unwinding of one bobbin 42 is completed, the turret is rotated to place the other bobbin 42 in the unwinding position and the fiber cord 10 Unwinding is continuously performed by unwinding. Note that the same number of turrets as the number of fiber cords 10 to be conveyed are prepared.
In order to continuously unwind the fiber cord 10, the cord end 10A of the fiber cord 10 unwound from the bobbin 42 where unwinding ends and the fiber cord 10 unwinding from the new bobbin 42 are started. A knotting means 40 for knotting the cord start end 10B is provided.

The knotting means 40 is provided in the vicinity of the unwinding means 35 on the path for conveying the fiber cord 10, and a cord end 10 </ b> A of the fiber cord 10 and a cord start of a new fiber cord 10 are started by a machine called an air splicer 46 or a tying machine. The end 10B is knotted.
The air splicer 46 can shorten the switching time between the fiber cord 10 unwound from the bobbin 42 that has been unwound and the fiber cord 10 unwound from the new bobbin 42 to be switched. In addition, the generation of material waste or the like of the fiber cord 10 in the nodule is suppressed, and the productivity is improved. This nodule is performed by temporarily stopping the code conveying device 1, and the stop time is about several seconds to several tens of seconds per nodule.

Further, in order to perform knotting without stopping the code conveying device 1, an apparatus called an accumulator may be interposed between the knotting means 40 and a code conveying means 50 described later, although not shown.
The accumulator is a device that temporarily stores the code to be transported, and is a device that sends the code from the accumulator to the code transport means 50 during the time when the code is knotted. This accumulator is generally configured using a roll or the like that is movably provided.

FIG. 4 shows an enlarged side view of the code conveying means 50, and FIG. 5 shows an enlarged top view of the code conveying means 50. 6 shows an enlarged view of the knot 12a of the fiber cord 10a and the knot 12b of the fiber cord 10b in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 shows an enlarged perspective view of the cord conveying means 50. FIG.
The code carrying means 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The cord conveying means 50 prevents the excess knot end 13 of the cord end 10A of the knotted fiber cord 10 and the knot 11 of the cord start end 10B from being entangled with the knot surplus end 13 of the adjacent fiber cord 10. To be provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, at least the adjacent fiber cord 10 is conveyed to the cord conveying means 50 by a path that is displaced in the direction N perpendicular to the cord extending direction b and the cord arranging direction a of the fiber cord 10. Guide rolls 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e are provided for guiding adjacent fiber cords 10 to be separated by a distance L.
As shown in FIG. 7, the distance L for separating the adjacent fiber cords 10 is set to be larger than the cord interval La of the fiber cord 10 carried in by the carry-in roll 6a and the cord interval La carried out by the carry-out roll 6b. The
In addition, although not shown in figure, the guide roll 5 is each rotatably supported by turning the rotating shaft in the code arrangement direction a.
In the first embodiment, the guide rolls 5a to 5e are provided so as to be displaced from each other at different heights in the direction N perpendicular to the cord extending direction b and the cord arranging direction a.

  That is, the guide roll 5a is arranged at the same height as the carry-in roll 6a and the carry-out roll 6b arranged in parallel before and after the cord conveying means 50. The guide roll 5b is disposed below the guide roll 5a. The guide roll 5c is disposed below the guide roll 5b. The guide roll 5d is disposed below the guide roll 5c. The guide roll 5e is disposed below the guide roll 5d.

A plurality of fiber cords 10 as shown in FIG. 5, here, ten fiber cords 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h, 10i, and 10j are hung on the guide rolls 5a to 5b and conveyed. The case where it is done will be explained in detail.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the fiber cord 10a is hung below the guide roll 5a. The fiber cord 10b is hung below the guide roll 5b. The fiber cord 10c is hung under the guide roll 5c. The fiber cord 10d is hung below the guide roll 5d. The fiber cord 10e is hung below the guide roll 5e. The fiber cord 10f is hung below the guide roll 5a. The fiber cord 10g is hung below the guide roll 5b. The fiber cord 10h is hung below the guide roll 5c. The fiber cord 10i is hung below the guide roll 5d. The fiber cord 10j is hung below the guide roll 5e.
As described above, the fiber cords 10a to 10j are hung on the guide rolls 5a to 5e, so that at least the adjacent fiber cords 10 of the fiber cords 10a to 10j are separated from each other by a distance L and are conveyed by paths having different lengths. The The adjacent fiber cords 10 do not need to be separated by a certain distance L, and may be changed so as to prevent the adjacent fiber cords 10 from being entangled.

As a method of hanging the other fiber cords 10a to 10j to the guide rolls 5a to 5e, for example, the fiber cord 10a is hung below the guide roll 5a. The fiber cord 10b is hung under the guide roll 5c. The fiber cord 10c is hung below the guide roll 5e. The fiber cord 10d is hung below the guide roll 5b. The fiber cord 10e is hung below the guide roll 5d. The fiber cord 10f is hung below the guide roll 5a. The fiber cord 10g is hung under the guide roll 5c. The fiber cord 10h is hung below the guide roll 5e. The fiber cord 10i is hung below the guide roll 5b. The fiber cord 10j is hung below the guide roll 5d.
If arranged in this way, the apparatus can be miniaturized.
As described above, the fiber cords 10a to 10j may be hung in order with respect to the guide rolls 5a to 5e. Even in this case, at least the adjacent fiber cords 10 are separated from each other and are conveyed along paths having different lengths.

  In the present embodiment, the guide rolls 5a to 5e are arranged along the direction N substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the fiber cords 10a to 10j. However, as shown in FIG. The shafts supporting the rotation of the guide rolls 5 may not be arranged in a straight line.

The fiber cords 10a to 10j whose branch paths are branched by the above-described cord transporting means 50 are transported along paths having different lengths from the unwinding means 35 to the winding means 70.
Thereby, for example, even when all the fiber cords 10a to 10j are knotted by the knotting means 40 at the same time to form the knots 11a to 11j, the fiber cords 10a to 10j are separated from the knots 11 of the adjacent fiber cords 10. Therefore, the entanglement between the knots 11 of the adjacent fiber cords 10 can be avoided.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the knots 11a to 11j formed in the knotted fiber cords 10a to 10j are arranged in a line in the cord arrangement direction a immediately after the knot. However, the knots 11a to 11j conveyed via the code conveying means 50 have a positional relationship like the knots 12a to 12j, and the code conveying means 50 causes a deviation in the positional relationship between the adjacent knots 12a to 12j. Can do.

FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view of the positions of the knot 12a of the fiber cord 10a and the knot 12b of the fiber cord 10b after passing through the cord conveying means 50. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the longer one of the knot surplus ends 13, 13 of the knot 12a is the knot surplus end 13a, and the longer of the knot surplus ends 13, 13 of the knot 12b is the knot surplus end 13b.
At this time, in order to obtain a positional relationship in which the knot surplus ends 13a and 13b are not entangled, the distance A1 at the straight line connecting the knot 12a and the knot 12b is larger than the sum of the lengths of the knot surplus ends 13a and 13b. Thus, the guide roll 5b may be provided so as to be separated from the guide roll 5a.

In other words, by arranging the guide roll 5a and the guide roll 5b by adjusting the distance L1 as shown in FIG. 4 so as to obtain the distance A1 where the knot surplus ends 13a and 13b are not entangled, the knot 12a surplus knot 12a is arranged. What is necessary is just to prevent the end 13a and the knot excess end 13b of the knot 12b from being entangled.
Similarly, by arranging the guide roll 5b and the guide roll 5c by adjusting the distance L2 as shown in FIG. 4 so as to obtain a distance A2 where the knot surplus ends 13b and 13c are not entangled, the knot 12b knot 12b is arranged. The excess end 13b and the knot 12c of the knot 12c may be prevented from being entangled.
Similarly, by arranging the guide roll 5c and the guide roll 5d by adjusting the distance L3 as shown in FIG. 4 so as to obtain a distance A3 where the excess knot ends 13c and 13d are not entangled, the knot 12c is knotted. What is necessary is just to prevent the excessive end 13c and the knot 12d of the knot 12d from being entangled with each other.
Similarly, by arranging the guide roll 5d and the guide roll 5e by adjusting the distance L4 as shown in FIG. 4 so as to obtain the distance A4 where the excess knot ends 13d and 13e are not entangled, the knot 12d is connected to the knot 12d. The excess end 13d and the knot 12e of the knot 12e may be prevented from getting entangled.
It is clear that the difference in the length of the path through which the fiber cord 10e passing through the guide roll 5e and the fiber cord 10f passing through the guide roll 5a are conveyed is longer than the distance A5 connecting the knot 12e and the knot 12f with a straight line. . The fiber cords 10f to 10j are not described because the fiber cords 10a to 10e are repeated.
As the fiber cords 10a to 10j to be hung on the guide rolls 5a to 5e, guide rolls 5a to 5e to be hung with the fiber cord 10 corresponding to the length of the knot surplus end 13 of the knot 12 formed on the adjacent cords are appropriately selected. What is necessary is just to space apart from the adjacent fiber cord 10.

The fiber cords 10a to 10j that have passed through the guide rolls 5a to 5e as the cord conveying means 50 are hung on the upper surface side of the carry-out roll 6b and are conveyed side by side while maintaining the parallel state again.
The fiber cords 10a to 10j after passing through the cord transport means 50 are transported by the rear roll 7 provided at the rear stage of the carry-out roll 6b.

  FIG. 9 shows the rear roll 7 provided with the restricting portion 20. The latter-stage roll 7 includes a plurality of grooves 21 formed as the restricting portion 20 (here, grooves 21 corresponding to the number of cords to be conveyed), and restricts or suppresses lateral shaking while keeping the fiber cords 10a to 10j in a parallel state. .

For example, when the fiber cord 10 having the knot 12 is conveyed and the knot 12 passes through a conveyance roll that does not have the restricting portion 20, the fiber cord 10 is vibrated.
In particular, when the fiber cord 10 to be conveyed is formed as a strand of strands of fiber, when the knot is formed, a twisting force is generated in the fiber cord 10 due to the strength of the twist. Thus, the fiber cord 10 is rotated during conveyance.
In addition, regardless of the presence or absence of knots, the vibration generated in the fiber cord 10 becomes significant when the speed at which the fiber cord 10 is conveyed is high.
In order to prevent these, a rear roll 7 is provided.

The groove 21 provided as the restricting portion 20 in the rear-stage roll 7 has a size capable of accommodating the fiber cord 10, the number of the fiber cords 10 to be conveyed, and the cord interval La of the fiber cords 10 to be conveyed It is formed on the outer periphery of the rear roll 7 with an equal width. The groove 21 having a size capable of accommodating the fiber cord 10 is formed in the rear roll 7 so that the groove width 22 and the groove depth 23 are larger than the ball diameter 15 of the knot 12. The fiber cords 10a to 10j are transported while passing through the subsequent roll 7 while suppressing vibration such as lateral shaking and maintaining the cord interval La.
In addition, you may provide multiple this back | latter stage roll 7 on the path | route to the dip means 60 which processes the fiber cord 10. FIG.

FIG. 10 shows another form of the rear roll 7 provided with the restricting portion 20.
