DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material supply device for supplying a material such as a metal hoop material to a processing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A material such as a metal hoop material is usually wound up in a coil shape and then supplied to the processing device by unwinding the material. And a traverse using a drum wider than the material, and a so-called narrow auto reel using a reel having substantially the same width as the material. The former is suitable for small-scale production, and the latter is suitable for mass production, depending on the amount of material that can be wound.

[0003]

Here, at the processing site, not only the material is selected according to the product to be produced, but also the members used for supplying the material are switched. And the traverse were replaced each time. For this reason, the replacement work requires a long time, involves dangerous work, and requires a lot of space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a material supply device capable of safely and quickly switching between an auto reel and a traverse. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an auto-reel which uses a reel having a material wound on an outer peripheral surface having substantially the same width as a material such as a metal hoop material, and an outer reel having a wider width than the material. A traverse using a drum with a material wound on the surface is provided on a single frame,
The main feature is that the frame is movable, and the other feature is that the frame is movable along the rails.

According to the present invention, the member for feeding the material to the processing apparatus by moving the frame can be switched between the auto reel and the traverse.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. This material supply device has a frame 1 made of a metal material and an auto reel 2 mounted on one side and a traverse 3 mounted on the other side. The auto reel 2 is formed so that a reel 22 can be attached to and detached from an output shaft 21 of a motor 20.

The other traverse 3 has a drive roller 33 and a wheel 34 attached to a drive shaft 32 which is driven to rotate by a motor 30 via a roller chain 31, and attached to a shaft disposed in parallel with the drive shaft 32. The drum 35 is mounted on the wheel (not shown) provided, and the rotation of the drive roller 33 drives the drum 35 to rotate. In the figure, 36 is a motor sprocket, 37 is an idler sprocket, 38 is a drive shaft sprocket, 3
9 is a tri-limiter. The portion of the frame 1 surrounding the upper part of the drum 35 can be opened and closed left and right in the figure.

The auto reel 2 and the traverse 3 are provided on the frame 1 such that the axial directions of the reel 22 and the drum 35 are in the same direction, and the frame 1 is a rail parallel to the axial direction. 4
It is installed above and is movable along the rail 4. Accordingly, switching from the state in which the material 5 is being supplied from the reel 22 of the auto reel 2 to the state in which the material 5 is being supplied from the drum 35 of the traverse 3 is performed by the frame 1
Can be performed only by moving along the rail 4.

Although the automatic reel 2 and the traverse 3 can be switched by the linear movement of the frame 1 on the rails 4, the switching can be performed by rotating the frame 1 about a vertical axis. Good.

[0011]

As described above, in the present invention, since the frame provided with the auto reel and the traverse is movable, the switching between the auto reel and the traverse can be performed only by moving the frame. In addition, as compared with the case where the auto reel and the traverse are replaced, the work time required for switching can be greatly reduced, and the safety and the space can be reduced.

Claims (2)

(57) [Claims] 1. An auto-reel which uses a reel having the same width as a material such as a metal hoop material and a material wound on the outer peripheral surface, and a drum which has a material wound on the outer peripheral surface with a width wider than the material. And a traverse that is provided on a single frame, and the frame is movable. 2. The material supply device according to claim 1, wherein the frame is movable along the rail.
