The second upper blade shaft holder 214 is held by the third holding portion 312c of the second holding arm 310b, and is fixed by the first cylinder 314 and the second cylinder 315 (see FIG. 1) as described above. Become. After the holding, the accommodating portion 410 is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the accommodating portion 410 is moved to the second standby position D. In this way, after the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is held by the first holding portion 312a, the holding portion 410 is moved to the second standby position D, whereby the replacement from the holding portion 410 to the first holding portion 312a is performed. The delivery of the upper blade shaft 210b is completed.
After this delivery is completed, the holding body 310 is rotated 180 ° in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 7 around the support shaft 340 (first support shaft 341). The accommodating part 410 is made to wait in the 2nd standby position D until this rotation is complete | finished.

  When the holder 310 is rotated in this manner, the positions and opening directions of the first holding part 312a and the second holding part 312b are reversed upside down as shown in FIG. 8, and the used upper blade shaft 210a, And the position of the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is also reversed left and right. Before and after the rotation, the positions of the used upper blade shaft 210a and the replacement upper blade shaft 210b are interchanged, but the relative positional relationship between the holding body 310, the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400, and the lower blade shaft 220 is substantial. It will not change. After the rotation, the accommodating portion 410 is moved in the arrow direction shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, when the storage unit 410 moves to the replacement position B, the used upper blade shaft 210 a is stored in the storage unit 410. Specifically, the two accommodated portions 215 of the used upper blade shaft 210a are accommodated in the first accommodation arm 411 and the second accommodation arm 412, respectively. At this time, the used upper blade shaft 210a fixed by the first cylinder 314 and the second cylinder 315 (see FIG. 1) is released.

After the accommodation, the accommodation unit 410 is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9 and is made to stand by at the first standby position C as shown in FIG. As described above, after the used upper blade shaft 210a is stored, the storage portion 410 is moved to the first standby position C, so that the used upper blade shaft 210a is transferred from the second holding portion 312b to the storage portion 410. Complete. After the used upper blade shaft 210a is moved to the first standby position C, the upper blade 211 can be replaced and the installation position can be adjusted while the used upper blade shaft 210a is housed in the housing portion 410. Moreover, the used upper blade axis | shaft 210a can be removed from the accommodating part 410, the replacement | exchange of the said upper blade 211, and adjustment of an installation position can also be performed.
Further, the holder 310 is moved to the cutting position A (in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 10), and the upper blade shaft 210b for replacement and the lower blade shaft 220 held by the first holding portion 312a are vertically opposed to each other and can be cut. To make sure
Thereafter, the housing 410 accommodates the used upper blade shaft 210a after the replacement of the upper blade 211, the adjustment of the installation position, the maintenance, etc., or another cutting blade shaft for replacement. Thus, the next upper blade shaft 210 is prepared for replacement.

According to the present embodiment as described above, the following operational effects can be achieved.
(1) While the used upper blade shaft 210a used for cutting is held by the holding portion 312b of the holding body 310, the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is held by the holding portion 312a, and the holding body 310 is rotated in this state. After that, since the replacement upper blade shaft 210b can be moved to the cutting position A and cutting can be resumed, the stop time of the cutting device accompanying the adjustment of the upper blade 211 of the used upper blade shaft 210a can be shortened. , Cutting work efficiency can be improved.

(2) Since the used upper blade shaft 210a is removed from the holding portion 312b before the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is moved to the cutting position A, it is used while cutting with the replacement upper blade shaft 210b. Replacement and maintenance of the finished upper blade 211, position adjustment of the upper blade 211, change of the number of sheets, and the like can be performed offline. Therefore, the work efficiency of adjusting the upper blade shaft 210 can be improved as compared with the case where cutting is stopped and the upper blade 211 of the upper blade shaft 210 is adjusted on the spot.

(3) The holding body 310 can hold the upper blade shaft 210 not only for exchanging the upper blade shaft 210 but also during cutting. That is, since a jig or the like used only for exchanging the upper blade shaft 210 is not necessary, the used upper blade shaft 210a is once moved to the replacement jig, and the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is moved from the replacement jig. It is possible to save the trouble of receiving the replacement jig. Therefore, the cutting work efficiency can be improved, and the configuration of the cutting apparatus can be simplified, downsized, and space can be saved.

(4) When the holding body 310 is at the replacement position B, the openings 313a and 313c and the openings 313b and 313d are open in the opposite directions, so that the attachment / detachment direction of the upper blade shaft 210 is the vertical direction. Therefore, the upper blade shaft 210 is transferred between the holder 310 and the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400 by moving the housing portion 410 in the vertical direction between the first standby position C and the second standby position D. can do. Therefore, the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400 can be exchanged quickly by the simple operation of the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400 to further improve the cutting work efficiency.

(5) Since the holding portion 312 is formed in a concave shape having the protruding portion 316 and the side wall portion 317, the side wall portion 317 suppresses the movement of the upper blade shaft 210 due to centrifugal force when the holding body 310 is rotated. can do. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the holding body 310 with a special mechanism for strengthening the upper blade shaft 210, and the structure of the holding body 310 can be simplified.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Here, in the description of the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted or simplified.
In the second embodiment, the same one as the pair of cutting blade shafts 200 and the cutting blade shaft holding device 300 described in the first embodiment is used, but the movable range of the accommodating portion 410 of the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400 is the same. Compared to the first embodiment, it is longer in the downward direction, and the accommodating portion 410 can move to a third standby position E that is further lower than the second standby position D of the first embodiment. Accordingly, a method for exchanging the upper blade shaft 210 is also different from the first embodiment.

FIG. 11 shows that after the replacement upper blade shaft 210b is held by the first holding portion 312a, the housing portion 410 is put on standby at the third standby position E, and the holding body 310 is rotated similarly to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which the holding body 310 is moved from the exchange position B to the cutting position A.
In the first embodiment, the holder 310 is rotated and the holder 310 is moved to the cutting position A after the used upper blade shaft 210a is accommodated in the accommodating portion 410, whereas in the second embodiment, the holder 310 is moved. After moving to the cutting position A, the storage unit 410 is moved upward, and the used upper blade shaft 210a held by the second holding unit 312b is stored in the storage unit 410.
After the housing, the housing portion 410 is moved to the first standby position C, and the used upper blade shaft 210a is received from the holding body 310.

  In addition, in this embodiment, even if cutting is in progress, if there is a vacancy in the holding portion 312 of the holding body 310 at the cutting position A, the adjusted upper blade shaft 210 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 410 and the accommodating portion 410 is moved to the third standby position E, the adjusted upper blade shaft 210 is transferred to the vacant holding portion 312, and the adjusted upper blade shaft 210 is held in advance for the next cutting. it can.

According to the second embodiment as described above, the same operational effects as the (1) to (4) of the first embodiment can be exhibited, and the following operational effects can be achieved.
(6) Since the holding body 310 is moved to the cutting position A before the used upper blade shaft 210a is transferred from the second holding portion 312b to the housing portion 410, the holding body 310 is held to the cutting position A after the transfer is finished. Compared with the case where the body 310 is moved for cutting, the cutting work can be resumed more quickly, and the cutting work efficiency can be further improved.

(7) Since the adjusted upper blade shaft 210 can be held in the vacant holding portion 312 in preparation for the next cutting during cutting, the holding body 310 is moved to the replacement position B and immediately After the rotation, if the holder 310 is further moved to the cutting position A, cutting is performed more quickly than when waiting for the adjusted upper blade shaft 210 to be held by the holding portion 312 at the replacement position B. The work can be resumed, and the cutting work efficiency can be further improved.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The deformation | transformation shown below is included in the range which can achieve the objective of this invention.
For example, in the embodiment, the number of the holding units 312 provided in the holding body 310 is two. However, the number is not limited to this, and three or more holding units may be provided. And although the aspect which replace | exchanges the upper blade axis | shaft 210 was demonstrated in the said embodiment, it is applicable also to the aspect which replace | exchanges the lower blade axis | shaft 210. FIG.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the accommodation unit 410 of the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400 is moved in the vertical direction, but is not limited thereto, and according to the number and shape of the holding units 312 of the holding body 310, the opening direction, and the like. What is necessary is just to determine the moving direction of the accommodating part 410. FIG. For example, when the holding portion 312 includes an opening in the radial direction of the shaft of the connecting shaft 330, the accommodating portion 410 is moved in the direction in which the opening opens.

  In addition, the rotation and movement of the holding body 310 and the movement of the housing portion 410 can be performed before the end of each operation unless the holding body 310 and the housing portion 410 are in contact with each other. For example, after the used upper blade shaft 210a is delivered to the storage unit 410, the holding unit 310 may be moved to the cutting position A and at the same time the storage unit 410 may be moved to the first standby position C.

  In addition, although the above embodiment has been described with respect to the configuration in which the upper blade shaft 210 and the lower blade shaft 220 are arranged to face each other in the vertical direction, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it may be configured by a pair of cutting blade shafts 200 arranged to face each other in the horizontal direction, and the object to be cut may be inserted between the cutting blade shafts 200 in the vertical direction.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the upper blade shaft 210 is rotatably held by the holding body 310 has been described. However, the rotation of the upper blade shaft 210 is suppressed and held according to the object to be cut. Also good.

  Further, a concave groove is provided in the accommodated portion 215 of the upper blade shaft 210, and a convex portion that engages with the concave groove is provided in the accommodating portion 410 of the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400. When the 210 is accommodated, the concave groove and the convex portion may be engaged with each other so as to be reliably accommodated in the accommodating portion 410.

  In the above embodiment, the upper blade shaft 210 is fixed by the cylinder. However, an openable / closable lid is provided in the holding portion 312 so that the opening 313 is covered when the lid is closed. . In this case, for example, when the holder 310 is moved or rotated, and when cutting is performed while holding the upper blade shaft 210 with the holder 310, the lid is closed and the first upper blade shaft holder 213 and the second upper blade are closed. The shaft holder 214 is prevented from being detached from the holding portion 312, and when the upper blade shaft 210 is attached or detached, the lid body is opened to facilitate delivery of the upper blade shaft 210 from the holder 310 to the cutting blade shaft attaching / detaching device 400.

In addition, it can also be set as the separation means 360 different from the said embodiment.
For example, FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a method of approaching and separating the upper blade shaft 210 and the lower blade shaft 220.
The separation means 360 pivotally supports the arm 362 about a pivotal support 363 provided on the upper end side of the column 361. One end of the arm 362 is pivotally supported by a pivotal support 363, and the other end is fixed to the main body 364 of the separating means 360. Although not shown in FIG. 12, actually, like the separating unit 350, the separating unit 360 includes two main body portions 364 that pivotally support both end sides of the support shaft 340. An arm 362 is fixed to the main body 364.
By rotating the arm 362 to the left by a predetermined angle, the upper blade shaft 210 held by the holding body 310 can be moved to the cutting position A (position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 12). On the other hand, the upper blade shaft 210 can be moved to the replacement position B by rotating the arm 362 to the right by a predetermined angle (position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 12).
In addition, the separating unit 360 can also have a configuration (such as a first rotation driving unit 352 that rotates the support shaft 340) other than the configuration in which the holding member 310 is moved up and down in the separating unit 350.
