Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool for packaging a large number of laminates such as a magnetic tape wound around a hub having a central through-hole, and a method of mounting the packaging tool.

Conventional technology Conventionally, when transporting magnetic tape between factories and internationally,
Before cutting to width or length as a finished product, that is, as it is, the raw material, or just cut from the raw material to the product width, wind it around a shaft or hub with a central through hole, and store it in each container Transport and storage are performed. Hereinafter, a product obtained by winding a magnetic tape just cut into a product width from a raw material around a hub is referred to as a pancake. For such a pancake container, a foam package 14 capable of storing one reel of the magnetic tape 12 wound around the hub 10 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, 5 to 10 layers are stacked, and finally, an empty foamed package is put on the entire body and banded, and then stored as it is or in a film shrink wrapped in a cardboard box.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a foamed package, a thick foamed polystyrene plate is glued with a thin foamed polystyrene film, and the generation of dust from the brittle, easily chipped foamed polystyrene plate is prevented by the foamed polyethylene film. Although it is used as a pancake container and spacer, and it is integrated into about 10 reels to make one pack, the outer form becomes large. For this reason, there is a problem that packaging material costs, distribution costs, and the like increase. In addition, when the expanded polystyrene plate is used as a pancake container and spacer, even if a foamed polyethylene film is adhered to a part of the plate, the generation of dust is still a problem. This is because foamed packaging does not have high mechanical strength, so if the wall thickness of the container is thin, or if it is forcibly piled up, tightly bound with a band, or roughly handled, the parts with a high external burden ratio will be damaged. This is because dust is generated because the band cuts into the inside. If such dust adheres to the surface of the magnetic tape, a signal error occurs. If the dust is a video tape, an image is disturbed. If the dust is an audio tape, sound is skipped, and noise is also generated. Further, since a container is required for each pancake, packing and unpacking become complicated, and the time, labor, and economic burden increases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, improves workability, reduces material costs, distribution costs, and the like, and reduces the generation of dust in a tape laminate packaging device and its packaging device. It is intended to provide a mounting method.

Means for Solving the Problems Means for achieving the above object will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 corresponding to the embodiment.

This tape laminate packaging device has positioning recesses 26, 28 or projections at both ends 22, 24, respectively, and has a cylindrical shape inserted into the central through hole of each hub in a plurality of laminates of tape 68 wound around the hub. The core 16 has central through holes 32 and 36 into which the one ends 22 and 24 of the core 16 fit respectively, and the positioning recesses 26 of the core 16 on the inner periphery of each of the central through holes 32 and 36. A projection 34, 38 or a recess which respectively fits into the projection 28 or the projection is provided, and two side plates 18, 20 sandwiching the tape laminate are provided.

Then, one or a plurality of positioning recesses 26, 28 or projections provided at both ends 22, 24 of the core 16 are provided in parallel with the center line 30 of the core 16, respectively. It is preferable to provide protrusions 34, 38 or recesses which fit into the recesses 26, 28 or the protrusions of the core 16 on the inner periphery, respectively.

In addition, the method of mounting the packaging tool on the tape laminate is performed by fitting the one end portion 22 of the cylindrical core 16 into the central through hole 32 of the one side plate 18 placed on the loading platform of the loading device, and standing up from the loading platform. A plurality of vertically movable lifting shafts 60 each supporting a tape 68 wound on the hub at the tip end thereof are inserted through a through hole 56 provided in the vicinity of the central through hole 32 of the side plate 18 so that the core 16 The tape 68 or the film-like spacer 64 which is protruded in parallel with the center line 30 up to near the tip of the
The core 16 is inserted through the central through holes 66 and the like and released, and the tape 68 wound around the hub or the tape 68 wound around the hub and the film spacer 64 on the plurality of lift shafts 60
Each time one or more predetermined numbers of tapes 68 wound on the hub are mounted, the lifting shaft is increased by the thickness of the tape 68 wound on the hub or the tape 68 wound on the hub and the film spacer 64. Lower the 60, sequentially add them, and after loading the required number of stages, attach the other side plate to the other end 24 of the core 16.
The procedure of fitting 20 central through holes 36 is performed.

Can be fixed. Moreover, since the core 16 does not fall down from the central through hole 32 of one of the side plates 18 and stands perpendicular to the side plate 18, the central through hole of the tape 68 wound around the hub is inserted therethrough.
It is convenient for forming a tape laminate.

Furthermore, according to the above-mentioned method for mounting a tape laminate packaging device, a tape wound on the hub with each end contacting the hub from above the carrier.

The tape 68 wound around the hub or the tape 68 wound around the hub and the film spacer 64 are placed on the hub 60, and each time one or more predetermined numbers of the tapes 68 wound around the hub are placed,
Tape wound around the hub 68 or tape wound around the hub
In order to sequentially lower the lift shafts 60 by the thickness of the film spacers 68 and the thickness of the film-like spacers 64 to sequentially increase the number of
By controlling the sequence of the operation of the removable hand 62 and the detachable hand 62, the falling distance of the tape 68 and the film spacer 64 wound around the hub is reduced, and they are alternately stacked without damaging them, The tape laminate can be automatically installed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a correspondence relation between main parts of a tape laminated body packaging tool to which the present invention is applied. In the drawing, reference numeral 16 denotes a cylindrical core inserted through a central through hole of each hub in a plurality of laminated magnetic tapes (pancakes) wound around a hub, and 18 and 20 denote two sheets holding the laminated body. It is a shape side plate. This core 16 is provided with parallel grooves 26 (26a, 26b) and 28 (28a, 28b) as a pair of positioning recesses at both ends 22, 24, respectively.
The two pairs of parallel grooves 26 and 28 are arranged on parallel lines that are symmetric with respect to the center line 30 of the core 16. However, the length of the groove is such that the parallel groove 28 is longer than the parallel groove 26. Incidentally, a positioning projection can be provided instead of the positioning recess. Also, a through hole 32 is formed in one of the side plates 18 in which the one end portion 22 of the core 16 fits, and a pair of parallel holes fitted in the parallel grooves 26 of the core 16 are formed on the inner periphery of the central through hole 32. Protrusions 34 (34a, 34b) are provided.
Similarly, the other side plate 20 is also provided with a through hole 36 at the center where the other end 24 of the core 16 is fitted.
A pair of parallel ridges 38 (38a, 3
8b) is provided. Furthermore, the side plates 18 and 20 each have an outer flat surface, frame-shaped projections 40 and 42 on four sides as reinforcement projections, square projections 44 and 46 at the center, and linear projections 48 connecting their corners to each other. 50 and the like are provided, and band-shaped recesses 52 and 54 are provided at the center of each of the four side projections. For this reason, both side plates
The shapes and sizes of 18, 20 are almost the same. However, side plate
A through-hole 56 (56a, 56b) symmetrically formed with respect to the center line of the central through-hole 32 is provided on the outside of the vicinity of the parallel ridge 34 on the central projection 18. When a plurality of pancakes are stacked to form a tape laminate as described later, these through holes 56 project from the loading platform of the stacking device, and each end comes into contact with a hub and a magnetic tape wound around the hub. It becomes the insertion hole of the lift shaft that can be supported up and down. Incidentally, if the number of lift shafts is increased, the number of such through holes is also increased. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the tape laminate packaging device further has a central through-hole into which the core 16 fits, and is provided between the pancakes in the tape laminate and at both ends of the laminate. Pancake and plates on both sides 18,
In this case, a plurality of film spacers are required to be interposed between the two and protect the magnetic tape. It is convenient to use a thin foamed polyurethane for the film-like spacer since dust is less generated.

To attach such a wrapping device to the tape laminate, one end 22 of the core 16 is fitted into the central through hole 32 of one side plate 18, and then the core 16 is inserted into the central through hole of a pancake or spacer. It is necessary to form a tape laminate by inserting them and stacking them appropriately. Naturally, the formation of this tape laminate can be performed by a task mainly involving human power. However, automation is desirable to improve productivity. Then, using the loading device, the one end 22 of the cylindrical core 16 is fitted into the central through hole 32 of one of the side plates 18 placed on the loading platform, and is first erected as shown in FIG. At this time, if the parallel ridges 34 of the side plate 18 are respectively fitted into the parallel grooves 26 of the core 16, it is easy to assemble and hardly come off, and the side plate 18 does not rotate with respect to the core 16,
Can be fixed in a well-balanced manner. Moreover, the core 16
Is the side plate 18 without falling down through the central through hole 32 of the side plate 18.
, It is possible to form a tape laminate by passing through a central through-hole of a pancake or a spacer. Next, the center shaft 58 is inserted into the inside of the core 16 from above the loading platform, and its tip is slightly desired outside. Similarly, two lifting shafts 60 (60a, 60b) from the loading platform
Through the through-holes 56 provided near the central through-hole 32 of the side plate 18 to protrude near the tip of the core 16 in parallel with the center line 30 thereof. When the center shaft 58 is inserted into the core 16, the core 16 is corrected with respect to the side plate 18, and becomes accurately vertical. Next, the attachment / detachment hand 62 sucks and holds the spacer 64 with the vacuum provided therein, moves and descends in the direction of the arrow. Then, when fitted to the tip of the center shaft 58, it stops, the spacer 64 is released at that position, the center core 16 is inserted into the central through hole 66, and the core 16 is allowed to fall naturally. The spacer 64 rests on the tip of the lift shaft 60 and stops.
Next, the pancake 68 is similarly moved by the detachable hand 62, released at a predetermined position and dropped, and the spacer dropped earlier is dropped.
Put it on 64. However, the pancake 68 is fixed not by vacuum suction but by a chuck. The magnetic tape of the pancake 68 is not damaged since the falling distance is small and is about 10 to 20 mm. In this manner, the pancake 68 or the spacer 64 is placed on the lift shaft 60 by the sequence control, and every time a predetermined number of pancakes 68, for example, one pancake 68 are placed, a drop corresponding to the thickness of the pancake 68 and the spacer 64 is performed. Always lower the lift shaft 60 by the distance,
The layers 64 are sequentially stacked so that the film-like spacers 64 are interposed between the pancakes 68. After counting the required number of pancakes 68, for example, 10 times or 8 times, the spacers 64 are placed at the end, and the tape for one pack is automatically set. Complete the laminate. When the laminated body is formed in this manner, the spacers 64 and the pancakes 68 are alternately stacked, and the core 16 is inserted into the central through-hole 66 or the like, for example, by simply interposing the film-shaped spacers 64 between the pancakes 68. The work load is reduced. The second
The three parallel arrows in the figure indicate the moving directions of the center shaft 58 and the lift shaft 60, respectively.
During loading, the center shaft 58 maintains a certain protruding state,
Do not move. Next, the center through hole 36 of the other side plate 20 is fitted to the other end 24 of the core 16, and the tape laminate is sandwiched between the side plates 18 and 20. At that time, the parallel ridges 38 on the side plate 20 are
If fitted to 28, it will be easy to assemble it and it will be hard to come off, and the side plate 20 will not rotate with respect to the core 16 and the side plate 20 can be fixed in a well-balanced manner. Moreover, its both side plates
The positions of 18, 20 can be adjusted in the same direction. If there are no positioning recesses or projections to be fitted to the core and the side plates, the positions of the side plates are twisted and do not match as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a band 74 is hung on such a tape laminate 70 or a wrapping tool 72, and is appropriately compressed and tightened. At this time, the length of the parallel groove 28 provided in the other end portion 24 of the core 16 is made longer than the other, and the core 16 is protruded from the side plate 20 by that amount. Uniform compression can be achieved without variation, and the compression force can be adjusted appropriately. It should be noted that even if film lurink wrapping or the like is applied instead of banding, the outer form is small because only the film spacer 64 is interposed between the pancakes 68. Therefore, storing in a cardboard box or the like is convenient for carrying or storing.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention has the configuration described above, the following effects can be obtained.

In the tape laminate packaging device according to claim 1, the core and the two side plates are inserted by inserting both ends of the core into the central through holes of the respective side plates and fitting and positioning the corresponding recesses and projections. It is easy to assemble, making it difficult for both ends of the core to come out of the center through hole of each side plate, aligning the positions of both side plates in the same direction, easily fixing, and holding the tape laminate by compressing it moderately it can. Further, since the tape laminated body is formed by inserting the center core into each central through-hole of the tape wound around the hub, the burden on the work is reduced. Further, the generation of dust is reduced, and the outer form is reduced. Therefore, workability is improved, packaging material costs, distribution costs, and the like are reduced, and tape failure due to dust adhesion does not occur.

In the tape laminate packaging device according to claim 2, positioning recesses or projections provided at both ends of the core are provided in parallel with the center line of the core, respectively. Since each of the fittings or the recesses is provided, the both side plates can be fixed to the core with good balance. And since a core can be set up perpendicularly to one side plate, it becomes convenient for forming a tape laminated body.
