Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
<< Outline of the Invention >>
First, the outline of the present invention is as follows.
The end face shaving apparatus 1 for laver bundle A of the present invention is used in the production process of laver B, and cuts the remaining laver debris C on the side end face of laver bundle A in which a plurality of laver Bs are stacked and bundled. It is removed and supplied to the next folding device D.
And it has the supply conveyor 2 and the cutting means 3. FIG. The supply conveyor 2 loads and transports the laver bundle A one by one. The cutting means 3 is composed of a rotating round blade 4 provided with a cutting blade on the outer periphery, and is disposed at the side position of the supply conveyor 2 to remove the remaining laver debris C on the side end surface of the laver bundle A to be conveyed. Scrape off. Further, the aligning means 5, the upper conveyor 6, the pressing means 7 and the like are used in combination.
The outline of the present invention is as described above. Hereinafter, the end face sharpening device 1 for the laver bundle A according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

<< About the arrangement of the end face scraping device 1 >>
First, arrangement | positioning of the end surface cutting device 1 of the laver bundle A of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
The end face shaving device 1 is disposed between the aligning device E and the bending device D during the production process of the laver B as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 (2) and 4 (3), in the prior art, the folding device D (S5) is arranged directly after the alignment device E (S4).

These will be described in further detail. As described above in the technical background section, in the alignment apparatus E in the production process, a plurality of (typically 10) laver B are stacked and bundled, and a laver bundle A (typically 10-sheet bundle). ). In the folding device D, such a seaweed bundle A is folded in two.
Then, the end face scraping device 1 cuts and removes the laver swarf C remaining on the laver bundle A transported from the aligning device E and transports it to the folding device D.
If there is a large irregularity in the laver bundle A from the aligning device E, the laver bundle A is carried out without being conveyed to the end face scraping device 1. For example, when the laver bundle A includes a laver B having an excessively large size or a plurality of laver B that are largely displaced from front to back and right and left, the laver bundle A is carried out and removed from the line. In the figure, F represents a conveyor such as a V belt, and G represents a conveyance direction.
The arrangement of the end face grinding device 1 is as described above.

<< Supply conveyor 2 >>
Next, the supply conveyor 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The supply conveyor 2 of the end face scraping device 1 carries and transports the laver bundle A one by one. That is, the supply conveyor 2 places the laver bundle A supplied from the alignment device E (see FIG. 4 (1)), and places a predetermined pitch from the upstream side to the downstream side along the front and rear conveyance direction G. While carrying out horizontal conveyance continuously, conveyance can be once stopped on the way.
The illustrated supply conveyor 2 includes two belt conveyors provided side by side, and travels between rollers 8 connected to a drive motor. In addition, although the belt conveyor is used in the example of illustration, it is also possible to use the roller conveyor which arranged many rollers irrespective of this.

By the way, the lateral width of the supply conveyor 2 is set slightly smaller than the lateral width of the laver bundle A to be conveyed.
That is, the flat seaweed B is typically a rectangular thin sheet having a length of 210 mm (up to 230 mm), a width of 190 mm (up to 200 mm), and a thickness of about 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. Therefore, the seaweed bundle A before bending also has a length of about 210 mm and a width of about 190 mm, for example.
Therefore, the overall lateral width dimension of the supply conveyor 2 that conveys the laver bundle A is set slightly smaller than the lateral dimension of the laver bundle A that is conveyed with its length directed in the lateral direction H. The
That is, as will be described later, in view of the operation of aligning the laver bundle A by the aligning means 5 and the operation of removing the laver waste C by the cutting means 3, the left and right sides of the side direction H (direction perpendicular to the conveying direction G) of the supply conveyor 2 The width dimension is slightly smaller than the laver bundle A.
The laver bundle A before cutting and removing the laver waste C is thus transported in a state where the side end surfaces (that is, the respective side edges of the bundled laver B) slightly protrude from the supply conveyor 2 to the left and right. The
The supply conveyor 2 is as described above.

<< Upper conveyor 6 >>
Next, the upper conveyor 6 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The upper conveyor 6 of the end face milling device 1 is disposed on the supply conveyor 2 on the downstream side of the aligning means 5, and rotates the cutting means 3 while conveying the laver bundle A sandwiching the supply conveyor 2 from above and below. The round blade 4 is passed.

Such an upper conveyor 6 will be further described in detail. The upper conveyor 6 is arranged in the middle and downstream of the supply conveyor 2, and presses the laver bundle A conveyed by the supply conveyor 2, so that the laver bundle A is moved up and down with the supply conveyor 2. The cutting part by the rotary round blade 4 is allowed to pass while being sandwiched and conveyed.
The illustrated upper conveyor 6 includes four belt conveyors provided side by side, and runs in synchronization with the supply conveyor 2 between rollers 9 connected to a drive motor. In addition, although the belt conveyor is used in the example of illustration, it is also possible to use the roller conveyor which arranged many rollers irrespective of this.

The upper conveyor 6 is assembled under the holding frame 10. The holding frame 10 is made of a horizontal and flat plate, and is attached under the top plate 12 of the apparatus body 11 via vertical screws 13. Therefore, the height position of the holding frame 10 and the upper conveyor 6 can be adjusted up and down by rotating the height adjustment handle 14 screwed into the vertical screw 13 from the top plate 12.
Further, a compression spring is interposed between the top plate 12 of the apparatus body 11 and the holding frame 10 to which the upper conveyor 6 is assembled. Therefore, play is given to the vertical distance between the two, and the upper conveyor 6 can move up and down slightly, and can absorb the shock when the laver bundle A is sandwiched.
About the left-right side width | variety of the upper conveyor 6, it applies to the place mentioned above about the supply conveyor 2. FIG. That is, the overall width dimension of the upper conveyor 6 is set slightly smaller than the laver bundle A to be conveyed. Both side ends of the upper conveyor 6 are aligned with both side ends of the supply conveyor 2.
The upper conveyor 6 is as described above.

<< Cutting means 3 >>
Next, the cutting means 3 is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. 1-3, FIG. 5, FIG.
The cutting means 3 of the end face scraping device 1 is composed of a rotating round blade 4 having a cutting edge on the outer periphery, and is disposed at a side position of the supply conveyor 2 and the upper conveyor 6 and is conveyed on the side end face of the laver bundle A to be conveyed. The remaining laver waste C is removed by cutting.

Such cutting means 3 will be further described in detail. As the rotating round blade 4 of the cutting means 3, the general saw blade shown in FIG. 6 (1), the plastic saw blade shown in (2), the round double blade shown in FIG. Others are conceivable, but in the illustrated example, the saw blade shown in FIG. For example, a material having a diameter of about 120 mm and a thickness of about 0.8 mm is used.
(3) The round double-blade shown in the figure has the advantage that there is little cutting waste, but there is a risk of cracking in the case of overdried laver B, and in the case of hard laver B, it may be impossible to cut and clog the apparatus.

The rotating round blades 4 in the illustrated example are arranged vertically on both the left and right sides of the supply conveyor 2 and the upper conveyor 6. And about the laver bundle A which is pinched | interposed between the supply conveyor 2 and the upper conveyor 6 and is horizontally conveyed and fed, the laver scraps C remaining on both left and right end faces are scraped off by high-speed rotational movements.
In FIG. 5, 15 is a drive motor for the rotary round blade 4, 16 is a receiving box for scraped laver scrap C, 17 is a drive control unit of the apparatus, and 18 is a cutting width adjusting handle.
The cutting width adjusting handle 18 adjusts how much the both side end faces of the laver bundle A are scraped by symmetrically moving the lateral direction H positions of the left and right rotating round blades 4 in the illustrated example by the turning operation.
That is, the dimensional width of the side end surface of the laver bundle A to which the laver waste C remains and adheres is adjusted. In the illustrated example, the left and right rotating round blades 4 are symmetrically moved from the imaginary side direction H center line to the left, right, inside and outside, so that the cutting width of the laver bundle A to be conveyed can be set.
The cutting means 3 is as described above.

<< Presser means 7 >>
Next, the pressing means 7 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The presser means 7 of the end face scraping device 1 is in the form of a pair of upper and lower vertical plates and is provided adjacent to the rotary round blade 4 so that the side end face of the seaweed bundle A to be conveyed can be sandwiched from above and below.

Such presser means 7 will be further described in detail. The presser means 7 includes a pair of upper and lower upper pressers 19 and 20 and has a vertical plate shape, and is vertically fixed to a side frame of the apparatus body 11.
The upper presser 19 and the lower presser 20 are arranged at a vertical interval sufficient to sandwich the side end surface of the transported laver bundle A from above and below, and in the illustrated example, the inner sides of the left and right rotating round blades 4 of the cutting means 3. Are adjacent to each other.
The upper presser 19 and the lower presser 20 stably hold the laver bundle A by being sandwiched from above and below when the laver scraps C are scraped off from the end face of the laver bundle A by the rotating round blade 4.
In other words, the laver bundle A receives an impact when scraping with the rotating round blade 4, but functions so as to prevent the position and posture from being disturbed and displaced by being sandwiched between the upper presser 19 and the lower presser 20. Contributes to smoothing and accuracy improvement.
In addition, the laver bundle A vibrates up and down from the side end face when scraping, but functions so as to prevent vibration cracks, cracks, tears, etc. from occurring between the upper presser 19 and the lower presser 20. To do.
The presser means 7 is as described above.

<< Aligning means 5 >>
Next, the alignment means 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The end face shaving device 1 further includes an alignment means 5 on the device entrance side. The aligning means 5 is in the form of a vertical plate and is arranged in a pair on the left and right sides of the supply conveyor 2 to align the side end surfaces of the laver bundle A toward the rotating round blade 4.
At least one of the left and right aligning means 5 can push the laver bundle A from the side, and the side edge of each laver B forming the side end surface of the laver bundle A is directed toward the rotating round blade 4. Align and adjust to the same line.
The supply conveyor 2 temporarily stops the transport of the laver bundle A during the operation of the aligning means 5.

Such alignment means 5 will be further described in detail. The aligning means 5 is in the form of a vertical plate, and is arranged in a pair of left and right along both upstream sides of the supply conveyor 2 and in parallel and perpendicular to the supply conveyor 2 and the transport direction G. Has been expanded. The left and right aligning means 5 are both capable of being pushed in the illustrated example.
In the supply conveyor 2, the laver bundle A is transported to the position of the aligning means 5, and when a sensor such as a photoelectric switch detects this, the transport of the laver bundle A is once stopped, and the alignment by the pushing operation of the aligning means 5 is performed. After that, the transport of the laver bundle A is resumed.

The pushing operation of the left and right aligning means 5 is performed in one step of pushing the stopped laver bundle A on the supply conveyor 2 from the outside in the side direction H to the inside aligning position.
That is, in the pushing operation, the left and right aligning means 5 previously positioned outside in the lateral direction H push the both side end faces of the laver bundle A symmetrically to the inside aligned positions, respectively. This is done by aligning the rotating round blade 4.
For example, a limit switch is provided at an alignment position that forms a line with the downstream rotary round blade 4, and the alignment means 5 stops pushing when it reaches the alignment position from the outside. Thereby, the side edge of each laver B forming the side end surface of the laver bundle A is aligned with the left and right positions of the rotary round blade 4 on the downstream side, and the alignment is adjusted.

By the way, the alignment means 5 and the rotary round blade 4 of the cutting means 3 are of an integral type or an interlocking type.
That is, first, the left and right rotating round blades 4 are moved symmetrically in the position in the lateral direction H by the shaving width adjusting handle 18 as described above, so that the shaving width of the side end face of the laver bundle A can be adjusted. . It is moved symmetrically from the virtual center line in the lateral direction H to the left, right, inside and outside, so that the cutting width of the laver bundle A can be set.
Therefore, as a means for aligning and following the alignment position of the alignment means 5 with the left and right positions of the rotary round blade 4 adjusted and set in this way, an integrated type or an interlocking type can be considered.
The integral type has an integral structure in which the left and right rotating round blades 4 and the left and right alignment means 5 are mounted on the same base on the left and right sides, respectively.
Therefore, in the integrated type, when the left and right rotating round blades 4 and the aligning means 5 are moved together in the lateral direction H, and the left and right positions of the rotating round blades 4 are adjusted, set, and changed, the alignment position of the aligning means 5 is also changed. It will be set and changed consistently. Aligned and aligned in the same line.
The interlocking type has a structure in which the left and right rotating round blades 4 and the left and right aligning means 5 have separate structures and are connected by a chain or a gear. Therefore, even in the interlocking type, the horizontal position of the rotary round blade 4 and the alignment position of the aligning means 5 coincide with each other in accordance with the above-described integrated type. They are aligned in the same line, and are aligned.
The alignment means 5 is as described above.
