Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary die cutter used for processing a sheet-like material.

  A rotary die cutter is widely used to perform processing such as punching and cutting on a sheet-like material such as a corrugated cardboard sheet. A general rotary die cutter includes a die cylinder and an anvil cylinder which are arranged one above the other and have rotation axes parallel to each other. The die cylinder is provided with a blade member, and the anvil cylinder is formed of urethane, for example, and an anvil into which the blade tip of the blade member bites is wound. The die cylinder and the anvil cylinder are rotationally driven so that their rotational directions are opposite to each other, and the sheet-like material inserted between these cylinders is punched or cut by a blade member while proceeding in the conveying direction. (See Patent Document 1).

  Generally, the blade member of the die cylinder is fixed to an arcuately curved plate that is detachably attached to the die cylinder. The plate member is provided with an elastic member in the vicinity of the blade member. The elastic member is made of polyethylene, for example, and when the blade member punches or cuts the sheet material, the sheet material is sandwiched between the anvil and the sheet material is stabilized around the blade member. To work. When the blade member is used to punch out the sheet-like material and has a closed form, the elastic member is provided inside the blade member to push out the punching waste (Patent Document 2). reference).

  When the blade edge of the blade member and the anvil are worn, the pressure at which the blade member bites into the anvil decreases. In many rotary die cutters, in order to maintain this pressure at a predetermined value, the distance between the rotation axes of the die cylinder and the anvil cylinder or the relative position of these rotation axes can be adjusted (see Patent Document 3). .

  During the rotation of the die cylinder and the anvil cylinder, the elastic member provided in the vicinity of the blade member by the plate material of the die cylinder is in a state other than the position where the blade member acts on the sheet-like material (and the position in the vicinity thereof) Sheet material cannot be sandwiched between anvils. For this reason, in the rotary die cutter, for example, an annular shape is provided along the circumferential direction of the die cylinder so that the conveyed sheet-like material is always sandwiched between the die cylinder and the anvil cylinder and stably conveyed. The spacer member has been wound. The spacer member is usually formed of an elastic material such as polyethylene, and a plurality of spacer members spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the die cylinder are arranged in the rotary die cutter. By providing these spacer members, the sheet-like material passing between the die cylinder and the anvil cylinder is always sandwiched between the spacer member and the anvil, and the conveyance of the sheet-like material in the rotary die cutter is stable. Turn into.

  Normally, a rotary die cutter is used for processing a plurality of types of sheet-like materials, and the thicknesses of these sheet-like materials are not the same. Therefore, when the thickness of the sheet-like material to be processed is changed, it is necessary to replace the spacer member of the rotary die cutter with one having a thickness corresponding to the changed thickness of the sheet-like material. For example, the thickness of the corrugated cardboard sheet includes types such as A flute (about 5 mm), B flute (about 3 mm), and E flute (about 1.5 mm). In order for the rotary die cutter to correspond to the corrugated cardboard sheets of these flutes, a spacer member having a thickness corresponding to each flute is prepared in advance, and the spacer member is adjusted according to the thickness of the corrugated cardboard sheet to be processed. It is necessary to replace it.

  However, in general, a rotary die cutter is used for processing such as punching and cutting in a processing apparatus including a plurality of processing units connected in series to perform various processing on a sheet-like material into a desired shape or product. Used as one processing unit. The use of the spacer member according to the thickness of the sheet material as described above means that each time the thickness of the sheet material processed by the processing apparatus is changed, the rotary die cutter is connected to the processing unit adjacent to the rotary die cutter. Since the spacer member is replaced after being separated, there is a problem that the operation efficiency of the processing apparatus is lowered.

  Also, the distance between the rotation axis of the die cylinder and the anvil cylinder is changed according to the thickness of the cardboard sheet so that the cardboard sheet is sandwiched between the spacer member and the anvil (without changing the thickness of the spacer member) It is difficult to do this because a situation occurs in which the blade member does not bite into the anvil at an appropriate pressure.

  The present invention solves the above-described problem, and stably conveys and processes sheet-like materials having different thicknesses without exchanging members and parts according to the thickness of the sheet-like material. Provide a rotary die cutter that can
