The cartridge 60 has a through-hole formation scheduled portion 266 at the center of the annular shape of the reinforcing plate 263.

  The elastic member 260 is attached to the upper part of the reinforcing plate 263. The elastic member 260 is formed in an annular plate shape having a hole 262 at the center. The elastic member 260 has a ring whose width is narrower than that of the reinforcing plate 263. The elastic member 260 is integrally provided on the upper surface thereof so that a convex portion 261 formed of an elastic material circulates along the ring. The convex portion 261 protrudes outward from the end of the cylindrical wall of the main body portion 54 (projects upward in FIG. 9). The convex portion 261 contacts the peripheral portion of the gas supply port 49 of the lid portion 47 when the lid portion 47 is closed. By closing the lid portion 47, the convex portion 261 is elastically deformed.

  The inner lid 56 is provided inside the main body 54. The inner lid 56 is movable downward in FIG. 8 within the main body 54 and is in contact with the upper surface of the adhesive 55. The inner lid 56 can apply downward pressure to the adhesive 55 by moving downward. The compressor 217 (see FIG. 1) sends gas into the main body 54 via the hose 61. The gas pushes the inner lid 56 downward. The inner lid 56 pushes the adhesive 55 downward.

  The engaged member 300 is provided at the upper end portion of the valve 40. The engaged member 300 includes a pair of upper and lower plane portions 301 and a connection portion 303. The plane portion 301 is a substantially circular plate that is substantially the same as the diameter of the main body portion 54. The flat surface portion 301 has a pair of convex portions 302 disposed on the outer periphery thereof. The convex portion 302 is substantially the same as the size of the concave portion 79 formed in the hole portion 78 of the hole 67. The connection portion 303 is provided in a substantially cylindrical shape at the center of the plane portion 301 and connects the pair of upper and lower plane portions 301. The engaged member 300 forms a through hole 304 that penetrates the pair of upper and lower plane portions 301 and the connection portion 303.

  The connection protrusion 57 of the cartridge 60 is fitted into the through hole 304. Although details will be described later, a pair of upper and lower plane portions 301 can be inserted with a connecting lever 37 connected to the drive shaft 36 of the second air cylinder 35 between the upper and lower portions. The second air cylinder 35 pushes the connecting lever 37 downward via the drive shaft 36. In the connecting lever 37, the interval between the engaging portion 371 and the engaging portion 372 is substantially the same as the interval between the pair of convex portions 302 formed on the flat portion 301. Therefore, the engaging portion 371 and 372 of the connecting lever 37 can be engaged with the convex portion 302 and the convex portion 302 can be pushed downward. By pressing the convex portion 302 downward, the engaged member 300 presses the valve 40 downward. In the valve 40, the close contact between the lower surface and the elastic member 167 is enhanced.

  The flow path 41 is provided in the valve 40. The flow path 41 is a through hole that extends in the valve 40 in the vertical direction. The upper end of the channel 41 communicates with the main body 54. A hole 44 is provided in the lower end surface of the valve 40. The inner diameter of the hole 44 is smaller than the inner diameter of the flow path 41. The lower end of the channel 41 is connected to the hole 44. In a state in which the cartridge 60 is accommodated in the hole 67, the hole 44 is disposed above the hole 63 provided on the bottom surface of the hole 67.

  The spherical body 43 and the spring 42 that biases the spherical body 43 downward are provided in the flow path 41. The diameter of the sphere 43 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the flow path 41. The diameter of the sphere 43 is about 1.5 times the inner diameter of the hole 44. The spring 42 urges the sphere 43 downward. As shown in FIG. 6, the sphere 43 closes the hole 44 from the inside of the flow path 41.

  With reference to FIGS. 6-10, the procedure which extrudes the adhesive agent 55 with which the cartridge 60 was filled outside is demonstrated. The operator fits the engaged member 300 into the connection protrusion 57 of the main body 54 of the cartridge 60. As shown in FIG. 6, the operator attaches the valve 40 to the cartridge 60 and accommodates it in the hole 67 of the storage chamber 18. When the cartridge 60 is accommodated in the storage chamber 18, the operator accommodates the convex portion 302 of the member 300 to be engaged with the concave portion 79 of the hole 78 (see FIG. 7). Since the convex portion 302 is accommodated in accordance with the concave portion 79, the convex portion 302 does not interfere with the engaging portions 371 and 372 extending in parallel with the protruding direction of the pair of concave portions 79.

  By accommodating the cartridge 60 in the storage chamber 18, the valve 40 and the elastic member 167 come into contact with each other. With the valve 40 and the elastic member 167 in contact with each other, the height positions of the engaging portions 371 and 372 are located between the upper plane portion 301 and the lower plane portion 301. After accommodating the cartridge 60 in the storage chamber 18, the operator rotates with the upper end of the cartridge 60. By rotating the cartridge 60, the coupling lever 37 has its engaging portions 371 and 372 disposed so as to face each other between the upper convex portion 302 and the lower convex portion 302 (see FIGS. 8 and 10).

  The operator closes the lid 47. The needle-like member 70 of the lid portion 47 has a pointed tip portion that opens a hole 66 in the through-hole formation scheduled portion 266 on the upper wall of the main body portion 54 of the cartridge 60. By closing the lid portion 47, the convex portion 261 and the elastic member 260 are elastically deformed to seal the space between the through-hole formation scheduled portion 266 and the lid portion 47 of the main body portion 54 of the cartridge. For this reason, the gas from the compressor 217 is supplied to the inside of the main body 54 of the cartridge without leaking to the outside.

  By providing the reinforcing plate 263 between the elastic member 260 and the upper surface of the main body portion 54, the thickness of the upper surface of the main body portion 54 differs between the through-hole formation scheduled portion 266 and its periphery. The main body portion 54 is formed such that the thickness of the through-hole formation scheduled portion 266 on the upper surface is thinner than the thickness of the peripheral portion of the through-hole formation planned portion 266 on the upper surface of the main body portion 54. When the lid 47 is closed, a pressing force is applied to the upper surface via the needle-like member 70, the elastic member 260 and the convex portion 261. However, since the reinforcing plate 263 can prevent deformation of the peripheral portion of the through-hole formation scheduled portion 266, the airtight state by the convex portion 261 and the elastic member 260 can be reliably maintained.

  When the operator drives the third air cylinder 65, the piston of the third air cylinder 65 moves, and the pressing portion 64 moves upward. As shown in FIG. 8, the pressing portion 64 moved upward from the bottom surface of the hole 67 pushes up the sphere 43 upward. A gap is formed between the hole 44 of the bulb 40 and the sphere 43. At the same time, the compressor 217 (see FIG. 1) sends gas into the main body 46. The gas pushes the inner lid 56 in the cartridge 60 downward. The inner lid 56 pushes the adhesive 55 downward. The adhesive 55 flows downward through the flow path 41. The adhesive flows through the gap between the hole 44 and the sphere 43 and flows out of the cartridge 60 into the hole 63. The adhesive 55 flows into the supply path 81 connected to the hole 63.

  The engaged member 300 corresponds to the “engaged means” of the present invention.

  The adhesive supply path will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the supply path 81 connected to the hole 63 is a through hole extending toward the pump case 14 at the lower end of the peripheral wall on the pump case 14 side. The supply path 81 is a path for guiding the adhesive flowing out from the cartridge 60 to the gear pump 124.

  The supply path 81 extends from the storage chamber 18 to the center in the first pump case 31 of the pump case 14. The supply path 81 is bent at a right angle at the center of the first pump case 31 (in FIG. 11, the back side in the drawing) and reaches the upper end of the portion where the drive gear 122 and the driven gear 123 are engaged.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the supply path 82 is a path for guiding the adhesive that has passed through the gear pump 124 to the supply path 83 of the support portion 16. The supply path 82 extends leftward from the lower end of the portion where the drive gear 122 and the driven gear 123 (see FIG. 11) mesh with each other. The supply path 82 extending to the left bends downward, bends to the left at the lower end, and passes through the shaft portion 45 to the supply path 83 in the support portion 16.

  The supply path 83 is a path for guiding the adhesive flowing through the supply path 82 to the nozzle 17. The supply path 83 extends from the upper end 162 to the lower end 164 inside the support portion 16 and reaches the supply path 84 in the nozzle 17.

  The supply path 84 is a path for guiding the adhesive flowing through the supply path 83 to the discharge port 86. The discharge port 86 is provided in a lower portion of the left end portion of the nozzle 17. The supply path 84 extends from the right end to the left end inside the nozzle 17 and is connected to the discharge port 86. The adhesive is discharged from the discharge port 86 to the outside.

  The supply paths 81, 82, 83, 84 correspond to the “supply paths” of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG.11 and FIG.12, the flow of the adhesive agent which reaches the discharge port 86 of the nozzle 17 from the storage chamber 18 via the pump case 14 and the support part 16 is demonstrated. The pressing portion 64 pushes up the sphere 43 upward, and the adhesive flows out of the cartridge 60. The adhesive that has flowed out flows to the gear pump 124 via the supply path 81. The first motor 91 drives the drive gear 122, and the drive gear 122 and the driven gear 123 rotate. The gear pump 124 sends out the liquid state adhesive from the supply path 81 toward the supply path 82. The adhesive flows from the supply path 82 toward the supply path 83, reaches the supply path 84, and is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 86.

  With reference to FIG. 13, the state of the bonding machine 2 at the time of bonding work for bonding the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152 will be described.

  When performing the bonding operation, the bonding machine 2 moves the movable portion 75 (see FIG. 2) of the first air cylinder 24 (see FIG. 2) forward to bring the support portion 16 to the use position shown in FIG. Moving. The operator arranges the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152 so as to overlap each other. The operator arranges the nozzle 17 at the bonding portion between the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152. The upper transfer roller 22 and the lower transfer roller 25 sandwich the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152 behind the nozzle 17.

  The adhesive that has flowed out of the cartridge 60 flows through the supply path 81 to the gear pump 124. When the operator depresses the pedal 208, the gear pump 124 is driven. The gear pump 124 sends the adhesive to the supply paths 82 to 84. The adhesive is discharged from the discharge port 86 of the nozzle 17. The adhesive discharged from the discharge port 86 adheres to the lower cloth 152. The upper transfer roller 22 and the lower transfer roller 25 rotate in a direction to transfer the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152 from the front to the rear. The spring 21 urges the upper transfer roller 22 downward. Therefore, the upper transfer roller 22 and the lower transfer roller 25 press and bond the upper cloth 151 and the lower cloth 152.

  The electrical configuration of the cloth bonding apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The cloth bonding apparatus 1 includes a CPU 201, a ROM 202, a RAM 203, and a nonvolatile memory 29. The CPU 201 executes reception processing and control processing. The reception process is a process of receiving input information from the key 209, the pedal 208, and the like. The reception process is also a process of receiving detection information detected by various sensors such as the lid opening / closing detection sensor 148. The control process is a process for controlling the motors 91 to 93 and the like.

  The ROM 202 stores programs executed by the CPU 201 and various initial setting parameters. The RAM 203 temporarily stores a timer, a counter, a flag, and the like. The nonvolatile memory 29 stores various setting information input by the operator. The CPU 201 is electrically connected to the ROM 202, the RAM 203, and the nonvolatile memory 29, respectively. The CPU 201 can access storage areas of the ROM 202, the RAM 203, and the nonvolatile memory 29.

  The pedal 208 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. The operator uses the pedal 208 when adjusting the cloth transfer speed and instructing the removal of the cartridge 60 from the storage chamber 18 described later. The CPU 201 can recognize the depression amount of the pedal 208. When determining the cloth transfer speed, the CPU 201 determines the rotation speed of the upper transfer roller 22 and the lower transfer roller 25 and the rotation speed of the drive gear 122 and the driven 123 based on the recognized depression amount of the pedal 208.

  When an instruction to remove the cartridge 60 from the storage chamber 18 is given, the operator depresses the pedal 208 in a cartridge removal mode described later. The CPU 201 can recognize the return of the pedal 208. The CPU 201 drives the second air cylinder 35 via the air drive driver 204 by recognizing the return of the pedal 208.

  The key 209 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. The operator uses the key 209 when performing various operation settings. The CPU 201 recognizes the pressing state of the key 209 by the operator. The CPU 201 stores information on various operation settings in the nonvolatile memory 29 based on the recognized depression state of the key 209.

  The lid open / close detection sensor 148 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. The lid opening / closing detection sensor 148 is pressed by the lower surface of the lid portion 47 when the operator closes the lid portion 47. The CPU 201 can detect that the operator has closed the lid 47. When the operator opens the lid 47, the lid open / close detection sensor 148 and the lid 47 are separated. The CPU 201 can detect that the operator has opened the lid 47. Therefore, the CPU 201 can determine whether or not the lid 47 is open based on the pressed state of the lid open / close detection sensor 148.

  The display drive driver 205 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. The display drive driver 205 is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display unit 207. The CPU 201 displays a desired image on the liquid crystal display unit 207 via the display driving driver 205.

  The motor drive driver 206 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. Each of the motors 91 to 93 is electrically connected to the motor drive driver 206. The CPU 201 controls each of the motors 91 to 93 via the motor drive driver 206.

  The air drive driver 204 is electrically connected to the CPU 201. The air drive driver 204 is electrically connected to each air cylinder 24, 35, 65. The CPU 201 controls the pressure of air sent to the air inlets of the air cylinders 24, 35, 65 via the air drive driver 204. The support portion 16 moves to the use position (see FIG. 13) and the maintenance position based on the operation of the first air cylinder 24. Based on the operation of the second air cylinder 35, the connecting lever 37 moves the cartridge 60 between the mounted state and the removed state. The pressing part 64 opens and closes the valve 40 based on the operation of the third air cylinder 65.

  With reference to FIG. 15, the cartridge removal processing of the cloth bonding apparatus 1 will be described. The CPU 201 moves the connecting lever 37 downward when the cartridge removal process is not being executed.

  The cartridge removal process starts when the operator operates the key 209 to switch the operation mode of the cloth bonding apparatus 1. The CPU 201 determines whether or not the operator operates the key 209 and presses the extraction mode key (S110). CPU201 returns a process to S110, when an operator has not pressed down the extraction mode key (S110: NO). The CPU 201 continuously monitors the operator's operation.

  When the operator presses the take-off mode key (S110: YES), the cloth bonding apparatus 1 enters the cartridge take-out mode. In the cartridge removal mode, the CPU 201 drives the third air cylinder 65 to move the pressing portion 64 downward (S120). The sphere 43 in the valve 40 moves downward. The gap between the hole 44 and the sphere 43 is eliminated. The adhesive stops flowing out of the cartridge 60 to the outside.

  The CPU 201 determines whether or not the operator has performed an operation of returning the pedal 208 (S130). CPU201 returns processing to S130, when an operator does not perform operation which returns pedal 208 (S130: NO). The CPU 201 continuously monitors the operator's operation. When the operator performs an operation of returning the pedal 208 (S130: YES), the CPU 201 determines whether or not the lid portion 47 is open based on the detection result of the lid opening / closing detection sensor 148 (S140).

  When the CPU 201 determines that the lid 47 is not opened (S140: NO), the CPU 201 notifies the liquid crystal display unit 207 of an error (S160) and ends the process. When the CPU 201 determines that the lid 47 is open (S140: YES), the CPU 201 drives the second air cylinder 35 and moves the connecting lever 37 upward (S150). As the connecting lever 37 moves upward, the cartridge 60 switches from the mounted state to the removed state. The operator can take out the cartridge 60 from the storage chamber 18 by switching to the take-out state. The CPU 201 ends the process.

  The CPU 201 that executes the process of S140 corresponds to the “determination unit” of the present invention. The CPU 201 that executes the process of S150 corresponds to the “removal control unit” of the present invention.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the operator operates the pedal 208 to remove the cartridge 60 in the cartridge removal mode. When the operator operates the pedal 208, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the lid portion 47 is open based on the detection result of the lid opening / closing detection sensor 148. When the CPU 201 determines that the lid 47 is open, the CPU 201 drives the second air cylinder 35 to move the connecting lever 37 upward. As the connecting lever 37 moves upward, the cartridge 60 is switched from the mounted state to the removed state. When the CPU 201 determines that the lid 47 is not opened, the CPU 201 notifies the liquid crystal display unit 207 of an error and ends the process. Therefore, the cloth bonding apparatus 1 can prevent the cartridge 60 from being taken out with the lid 47 closed. The cloth bonding apparatus 1 can prevent the cartridge 60 from coming into contact with the lid portion 47 and being damaged when the cartridge 60 is taken out.

  In the cloth bonding apparatus 1, the coupling lever 37 engages with an engaged member 300 provided at the upper end of the valve 40. The connecting lever 37 is provided in the second air cylinder 35. The cloth bonding apparatus 1 can take out the cartridge 60 from the storage chamber 18 by driving the second air cylinder 35. The cloth bonding apparatus 1 can execute the removal of the cartridge 60 with a simple configuration.

  The cloth bonding apparatus 1 can replace the cartridge 60 taken out from the storage chamber 18 by the operator using both hands by taking out the cartridge 60 with the pedal 208. The cloth bonding apparatus 1 can improve the work efficiency of replacing the cartridge 60 that has been taken out.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the above-described embodiment, in the cloth bonding apparatus 1, the coupling lever 37 connected to the drive shaft 36 of the second air cylinder 35 provided on the outer surface of the side surface portion of the storage chamber 18 is engaged with the engaged member 300. The present invention is not limited to this, and the engaged member 300 may not be provided. A modified storage chamber 180 and cartridge 600 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in a modification, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member same as the said embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted or simplified.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the storage chamber 180 is provided with a hole 670 in the main body 46. The hole 670 has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom in the vertical direction. The cartridge 600 for storing the adhesive can be received in the hole 670.

  The cartridge 600 includes an aluminum main body 54, an iron reinforcing plate 263, and an elastic member 260. Since the cartridge 600 has the same configuration as the cartridge 60 except that the engaged member 300 is not provided, detailed description thereof is omitted. In the cartridge 600, the valve 40 is fitted into the connection projection 57 at the lower part thereof.

  The valve 40 has a flat surface portion 400 at the center in the vertical direction. The flat portion 400 can be inserted with a connecting lever 37 connected to the drive shaft 36 of the second air cylinder 35 below. In the modified example, the connecting lever 37 has an interval between the engaging portion 371 and the engaging portion 372 that is substantially the same as the interval between both end portions of the plane portion 400. Accordingly, the engaging portions 371 and 372 of the connecting lever 37 can be engaged with the flat portion 400.

  By driving the second air cylinder 35, the connecting lever 37 moves upward. As the connecting lever 37 moves upward, the cartridge 600 is switched from the mounted state to the removed state via the flat portion 400 of the valve 40. In the modified example, since the connecting lever 37 engages with the flat portion 400, the cartridge 600 can be taken out from the storage chamber 180 with a simple configuration.

  The flat portion 400 in the modification corresponds to the “engaged means” of the present invention.

  In the embodiment, the engaged member 300 includes a pair of upper and lower plane portions 301. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the flat surface portion 301 may be provided with either one of upper and lower portions and have a convex portion 302 that engages with the connecting lever 37 of the second air cylinder 35.

  In the embodiment, the cloth bonding apparatus 1 is provided with the second air cylinder 35 on the outer surface of the side surface portion of the storage chamber 18. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second air cylinder 35 may be provided on the bottom surface of the hole 67 of the storage chamber 18. In this case, the second air cylinder 35 omits the connecting lever 37 and the drive shaft 36 is engaged with the engaged member 300. The drive shaft 36 can push up the engaged member 300 from below and take out the cartridge 60 from the storage chamber 18.

  In the embodiment, the cloth bonding apparatus 1 performs the removal of the cartridge 60 by driving the second air cylinder 35. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be a solenoid actuator, a motor, or the like.

  In the embodiment, the cloth bonding apparatus 1 switches the cartridge 60 from the mounted state to the removed state by driving the second air cylinder 35 by determining that the operator has operated the pedal 208. The present invention is not limited to this, and the second air cylinder 35 may be driven only while the operator operates the pedal 208.

  In the embodiment, the cloth bonding apparatus 1 takes out the cartridge 60 by operating the pedal 208 of the operator. The present invention is not limited to this, and a cartridge removal key may be provided on the key 209.

  In the embodiment, in the cloth bonding apparatus 1, the lid opening / closing detection sensor 148 is configured by a limit switch. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured with a pressure sensor or the like.
