DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire coil conveying apparatus for working a wire coil in a warehouse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wire coils are transported in a building using a C-hook of a crane. However, in order to increase transport efficiency, usually, a plurality of coils, for example, two or four coils, are transported at a time. Hang on the hook and move in series. Therefore, a plurality of wire coils are stored or placed in series in a temporary storage place or a storage place for the wire coils. However, recently, the quality requirements of wire coils have become increasingly strict, and the necessity of handling the storage space or coil packing in units of one coil has been increasing. -1
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 47482, one coil is taken out from a large number of coils arranged in series at a temporary storage place or a storage place by an operator using a riff mag or an overhead crane having a C hook. Or, on board. Further, since the actual recognition of the wire rod coil is also checked by human eyes, there is a high possibility that the coil is erroneously recognized.

[0003]

When an overhead crane is used, not only is it labor-intensive, but also the time required for coil removal or loading is long, which is inefficient. In addition, when the coil is lifted or hung, there is a problem that the coil is damaged due to contact between the coil and an adjacent coil.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention advantageously solves the above-mentioned problems, and the gist of the present invention is to provide a wire coil mounting table in which a plurality of wire coils are mounted in series in the longitudinal direction of the coil. An unloading trolley for unloading a wire coil from a longitudinal direction, the wire rod having a device for detecting an end surface of the wire coil and a function of automatically stopping by the detection, and having a plurality of wire coil cradles each independently moving up and down. A coil unloading cart, and a wire coil sorting cart that travels in a direction orthogonal to the running direction of the unloading cart, is capable of being loaded by the unloading cart, and is capable of placing in parallel a wire coil unloaded by the unloading cart. Comprising, in conjunction with the unloading trolley and the sorting trolley, the wire coils placed in series on the wire coil placing table are automatically arranged in parallel on the wire coil sorting trolley,
Alternatively, there is provided a wire coil alignment apparatus characterized in that wire coils placed in parallel on a sorting trolley are automatically replaced in series on a wire coil placing table.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on embodiments.
FIG. 1 is an overall view of a wire rod aligning apparatus according to the present invention.
Is a plan view and b is a side view. A wire coil mounting table 1a, 1b on which a plurality of wire coils 2a to 2d are placed, a wire coil unloading cart 3a, 3b that transports the coils on the mounting table for each coil and moves in a series direction of the mounting table, The loaded carry-out carts 3a and 3b are mounted on the carts, and are composed of a wire rod sorting cart 4 on which coils are placed in parallel. Reference numerals 8a, 8b, and 8c denote coil storage units of the wire coil sorting cart. FIG. 2 is a front view of the wire coil sorting trolley 4, showing a state in which the wire coil unloading trolley 3a is riding on the wire coil sorting trolley 4.

Next, the operation of the wire coil aligning apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows an operation of taking out the wire coil 2a using the wire coil unloading cart 3a.

[0007] The wire coil unloading carriage 3a is composed of an end face detecting device 5 for automatically detecting the end face of the wire coil, and a main support 6a and a sub-support 6b provided with an elevating cylinder for supporting and elevating the wire coil. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the wire coil unloading vehicle 3a approaches the wire coil mounting table 1a, enters under the wire coil 2a, and the end face detecting device 5 detects the end face of the wire coil 2a. And stop.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the main support 6a is raised to support the wire coil 2a. This main support 6a
Is 60 times the maximum wire coil length of the wire coil 2a.
% Or less and not more than the minimum coil length.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (3), the wire coil 2a is lifted by the main support 6a to a state slightly separated from the wire coil mounting table 1a, and the wire coil unloading carriage 3a is moved at a low speed by about 1 m, and Wire coil 2b
From the state.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 3 (4), the sub support 6b is raised to completely support the wire coil. At this time, the combined length of the main support 6a and the sub support 6b is equal to or longer than the maximum wire coil length.

By performing such a series of operations, a wire coil having an unspecified length can be reliably formed from a plurality of wire coil mounting tables 1a placed in series and formed into a wire by contact with an adjacent coil. The wire coil can be transported one coil at a time without any damage.

Next, the operation of the wire coil sorting cart 4 for placing the wire coils 2a carried out by the wire coil carrying cart 3a in parallel will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows a wire coil placing table 1a, 2a, a wire coil unloading cart 3a (not shown in the figure), a wire coil sorting cart 4, and a wire coil 2
FIGS. 4A to 4D are plan views, and FIG.
This shows a state in which the wire coil 2a is stored at the position 8a of the wire coil sorting cart 4 by the wire coil unloading cart 3a.

That is, the wire coil 2a is transported by the wire coil unloading cart 3a, and the lifting cylinders of the main support and the sub-support of the wire coil unloading cart 3a are lowered simultaneously at the position 8a of the wire coil sorting cart 4. The wire coil 2a is placed at the position 8a of the wire coil sorting cart 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (2), a wire coil unloading cart 3a not shown moves in the direction of the wire coil placing table 1a to take out the wire coil 2b, during which the wire sorting cart 4 is moved.
Is moved horizontally by one coil, and the wire coil unloading cart 3a stores the wire coil 2b to be transported next at the position 8b of the wire coil sorting cart 4.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 4 (3), the wire coils 2a and 2b arranged in parallel are unloaded by a crane or the like. Furthermore,
By repeating the same operation, the remaining wire coil 2
c and 2d can also be stored in the wire coil sorting cart 4 in parallel.

In the above embodiment, the wire coil unloading cart 3
Although the description has been given of the unloading of the wire rods from “a” to the wire coil sorting trolley 4, by performing the operation in the reverse order, the parallel wire coils can be placed in series on the placing table by the sorting trolley.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a wire coil mounting table in which a plurality of wire coils are mounted in the longitudinal direction of a coil does not come into contact with another wire coil or mounting table for each coil. By being able to take out and transport reliably, and coiling in parallel, it is possible to automatically supply and discharge wire rod coils to connected automatic equipment, etc., and to achieve significant rationalization, securing high processing capacity and stabilizing quality. Can be.
