DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a honeycomb core. That is, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a honeycomb core by performing each of steps of applying an adhesive, laminating, heating and pressurizing, and expanding a substrate as specified.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method of manufacturing a honeycomb core has generally been as follows. That is, first, an adhesive is applied in a strip shape at a predetermined pitch in a width direction or a longitudinal direction on a metal or non-metal base material in a band shape or the like. After the sheet is cut into a rectangular sheet or the like, a plurality of the applied adhesives are stacked in a block shape in a positional relationship shifted by a half pitch. After bonding by heating and pressing, the base material thus stacked and bonded in a block shape is stretched in the stacking direction to manufacture a honeycomb core.

[0003] When a nonmetallic material, particularly a paper substrate, is used, the following manufacturing method may be employed. That is, first, an adhesive is applied in a strip shape at a predetermined pitch in a width direction or a longitudinal direction on one surface of a paper substrate in a belt shape fed from a supply roll, and on the other surface of the substrate. The adhesive is applied in a streak shape in a positional relationship shifted by half a pitch from the adhesive application position on one surface. And then, a band-shaped paper substrate with no adhesive applied,
By laminating on the base material to which the adhesive has been applied as described above and winding these onto a cylindrical or polygonal drum, they are stacked while being bonded. Thereafter, the substrate is cut at a predetermined length, and the base material thus obtained and stacked and bonded in a block shape is stretched in the stacking direction, whereby a honeycomb core made of paper or the like has been manufactured.

[0004]

The following problems have been pointed out in such a conventional method for manufacturing a honeycomb core. First, the former, that is, the manufacturing method generally performed conventionally, is as follows.

[0005] First, there is a problem that the steps from the application of the adhesive to the stacking cannot be performed continuously and automatically by a series of devices, and each operation is troublesome and production efficiency is poor. That is, as described above, the base material on which the adhesive is applied is firstly stacked and then manually stacked after being cut, so each operation becomes an individual operation, and a series of integrated devices from adhesive application to stacking is used. It could not be realized, it was time-consuming and required a large work space, which was troublesome, resulting in poor production efficiency and cost.

Second, there is a problem that a high quality and high accuracy honeycomb core cannot be stably obtained. That is, as described above, since the manual operation is interposed, the quality is likely to be uneven, and particularly when the manual lamination is performed, the line-shaped adhesive does not have a positional relationship accurately shifted by a half pitch, and a pitch shift occurs. It was easy. In addition, pitch shift is likely to occur due to expansion and contraction of the base material, and it is difficult to cope with this by manual lamination, and it is not easy to confirm if the base material is opaque, and pitch shift from this surface is also difficult. Was easy to occur. Accordingly, it was pointed out that a honeycomb core having a uniform cell shape could not be obtained.

[0007] Next, the latter, that is, a manufacturing method utilizing drum winding performed on a non-metallic material, particularly a paper-made substrate, is as follows.

First, in this conventional example, the steps from the application of the adhesive to the stacking can be performed continuously and automatically by a series of devices. That is, although the first problem pointed out in the above-mentioned general conventional example is solved, the following problem is pointed out.

[0009] Second, there is a problem that a high-quality and high-accuracy honeycomb core cannot be stably obtained. That is, first, when an adhesive is applied along the width direction of the base material because a long honeycomb core is required in the ribbon direction, with the increase in the winding diameter on the drum, the linear adhesive is applied. A position shift, that is, a pitch shift has occurred. In particular, when a cylindrical drum is used, the wound base material is liable to be rolled or round, which hinders handling at the time of subsequent expansion or the like. It has been pointed out that a honeycomb core having a uniform cell shape cannot be obtained due to these.

Third, the yield of the base material at the time of cutting is poor, and there is also a problem in cost from this viewpoint. That is,
When a long honeycomb core is required in the stretching direction, the winding diameter of the base material on the drum is large, but when the winding diameter is large, the roll is cut from a roll into a block. A large amount of inclined unused portion is generated and discarded at the end, which is the cut portion, so that the waste is large and the yield is poor. It has also been pointed out that when a polygonal column-shaped drum is used, it is necessary to prepare various types of drums in advance so that one side thereof has a length to be cut.

In the prior art, such a point was pointed out. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has been made in order to solve the problems of the above-described conventional example. After applying the adhesive to the belt, both of the claims 1 and 2 apply a pressing force to the specified bending target portion while using a cart that reciprocates in a predetermined manner with the belt conveyor to perform folding and stacking. First, the process from adhesive application to stacking can be performed continuously and automatically, secondly, pitch deviation and curling are prevented, thirdly, yield is good, and fourthly, these are good. An object of the present invention is to propose a method for manufacturing a honeycomb core, which can appropriately apply an adhesive in a width direction or a longitudinal direction of a base material and can freely realize the base material regardless of whether the base material is metal or nonmetal.

[0012]

The technical means of the present invention for achieving this object is as follows. Claim 1 is as follows. That is, in this method for manufacturing a honeycomb core, first, an adhesive is applied to one surface of a strip-shaped base material in a streak shape at a predetermined pitch along the width direction, over a certain length in the longitudinal direction of the base material, and at the same fixed length Apply at regular intervals and apply repeatedly. Next, the adhesive is applied to the other surface of the base material in the form of a stripe along the width direction at the same predetermined pitch as above at the positions corresponding to the respective intervals. After a while
First, at each boundary portion between the adhesive applied to one surface of the base material and the adhesive applied to the other surface, a substantially linear line is provided at a position shifted by 1/4 pitch of the predetermined pitch along the width direction. Each of the bending target portions is specified. Then, after guiding the base material between a pair of vertically fixed belt conveyors and sending the same, the cart is reciprocated approximately the above-mentioned fixed length to the left and right about the lower end of the belt conveyor, respectively. While sending, apply at least pressing force to the above bending target location,
The method further comprises the step of continuously folding and laminating the base material on the cart at the predetermined length for each of the predetermined lengths.

[0013] Claim 2 is as follows. That is, in this method for manufacturing a honeycomb core, first, an adhesive is applied to one surface of a strip-shaped base material in a streak shape at a predetermined pitch along the longitudinal direction, over a constant length in the longitudinal direction, and at intervals of the same constant length. And apply repeatedly. Then, the adhesive is applied to the other surface of the base material in the form of a stripe at the same predetermined pitch based on a positional relationship shifted by a half pitch from the above along the longitudinal direction, respectively, for each of the above-mentioned intervals corresponding to the respective positions. Apply. Thereafter, first, each boundary between the adhesive applied to one surface of the base material and the adhesive applied to the other surface is specified as a substantially linear bending target portion along the width direction. . Then, after guiding the base material between a pair of vertically fixed belt conveyors and sending the same, the cart is reciprocated approximately the above-mentioned fixed length to the left and right about the lower end of the belt conveyor, respectively. A step of applying at least a pressing force to the bending target portion while feeding, folding the substrate in a continuous zigzag manner at regular intervals on the cart, and stacking the base material. Do it.

[0014]

The present invention comprises the above means and operates as follows. In this method for manufacturing a honeycomb core, first, an adhesive is repeatedly applied to both sides of a strip-shaped base material at regular intervals, and applied in the width direction in claim 1 and in the longitudinal direction in claim 2. Then, in both the first and second aspects, the bending target portions are respectively specified at each boundary portion of the adhesive on both sides of the base material, and the base material sent by the vertical belt conveyor reciprocates right and left as predetermined. While feeding onto a moving cart, at least a pressing force is applied to a portion to be bent, the sheet is bent at predetermined lengths, folded, and stacked in a block shape. Thereafter, the honeycomb core is manufactured by heating and pressurizing, stacking and bonding, cutting both ends, and then applying a tensile force in the stacking direction to expand the honeycomb core. Therefore, this manufacturing method is as follows.

First, the application of the adhesive to the base material can be easily automated by a coating device equipped with a print roll, and the position of the object to be bent on the base material and a cart reciprocating on a belt conveyor can be specified. It is also possible to easily apply a pressing force while feeding the sheet to be folded and stacked, and to easily automate the apparatus and to automate the transfer of the base material during that. In this way,
The process from the application of the adhesive to the stacking can be continuously and automatically performed by a series of devices.

Secondly, the application of the adhesive and the lamination can be performed without manual operation, and it is easy to cope with expansion and contraction of the base material, and there is no problem even when the base material is opaque. In particular, at the time of stacking, the linear adhesive has a positional relationship of being shifted by exactly a half pitch, thereby preventing a pitch shift. Further, since the base material is not wound up on the drum, the pitch shift is prevented from this surface, and the winding and the rounding are also prevented, so that there is no hindrance in handling at the time of subsequent expansion or the like.

Third, since the base material is not wound around the drum similarly, no unused portion having an inclined shape is generated at the end which is a post-cutting point, and the yield is good.

Fourth, these can be arbitrarily and freely realized by appropriately applying an adhesive to a belt-shaped substrate along a width direction or a longitudinal direction. Further, the base material used, whether metallic or non-metallic,
Widely and freely applicable.

In this case, as in FIG. 5 in dashed, adhesives B on the other side A ₂ of example the rear surface or the like of the base material A
But longitudinally along the D to the original positional relationship shifted by adhesive B and the half pitch of the one surface A ₁ side, the striations form at the same predetermined pitch P, each interval based on the synchronous interlocking control of the aforementioned E is applied to each corresponding position. The base material A to which the adhesive B has been applied as described above by the second application device 15 in this manner is immediately guided by the guide roll 3, and is again conveyed to the drying device 14 and dried. In the illustrated example, the drying device 14 corresponding to the first coating device 9 as described above is used.
And the drying device 14 corresponding to the second coating device 15 is common, and the entire device is made compact. Of course, each drying device may be used independently, that is, two drying devices may be employed regardless of the illustrated example. Good.

After a while, the substrate A is guided by the guide roll 3 and proceeds to the next step. FIG. 2 is an explanatory front view of a stacking process and the like for explaining this embodiment. This figure 2
In the following description, reference numeral 16 denotes a fold setting device, and the fold setting device 16 specifies a bending target portion F (see FIGS. 4 and 5) of the base material A. In the illustrated example, the upper and lower rolls 19 and 20 each having a pair of intermittent ridges 17 and concave grooves 18 in the width direction C are used as the fold setting device 16, and the first coating device 9 and the The mechanical control or the electrical control is performed such that the base material A conveyed in synchronization with the two-coating device 15 is driven at a predetermined timing.

By passing while the substrate A is sandwiched between 20,
The bending target portion F is formed, for example, in a perforated shape as follows. That is, if the adhesive B in the width direction C as in the example of FIG. 4 has been applied is first applied to one surface A glue B and the other surface A ₂ applied to the _first substrate A bonding At each boundary portion with the agent B, as shown by the imaginary line in the figure, the bending target portion F is substantially linear, for example, perforated at a position shifted by 1/4 pitch of the predetermined pitch P along the width direction C. Are formed respectively. Note that the setting of the ピ ッ チ pitch is performed with reference to the center line of the line width of the applied adhesive B. Then when the adhesive B is applied in the longitudinal direction D, as in the example of FIG. 5, the adhesive was applied to one surface A ₁ of the base material A B and the other surface A ₂ to be coated adhesive B, as indicated by the imaginary line in the figure, the bending target portion F along the width direction C
Are formed in a substantially linear shape, for example, in a perforated shape.

The substrate A to which the adhesive B has been applied and the bending target portion F has been specified in this manner is transported to the next stacking device 21. Note that, as a whole, the substrate A
Starts from a state in which is conveyed to and protrudes at least to this position. In the stacking device 21, the base material A is first guided upward by the guide roll 3, and is guided to the upper end between a pair of left and right belt conveyors 22 and 23 fixed vertically opposed, and from the upper end to the lower end. Sent to the side and sent. Pressing pieces 24 are provided at the lower ends of the belt conveyors 22 and 23.
And a cart 26 provided with a bending member 25, and the base material A is sent to the cart 26. And cart 26
Are reciprocated right and left about the lower ends of the belt conveyors 22 and 23 by the above-described fixed length, that is, the length between the bending target portions F, from the position shown by the solid line in the figure to the imaginary line shown in the figure. It works. Also this cart 2
The reciprocating movement of No. 6 corresponds to the feed amount of the base material A, and the base material A moves left or right once or returns once while the base material A is fed and discharged by the belt conveyors 22 and 23 for the fixed length. It works. In the figure, reference numeral 27 denotes a lift device provided below the cart 26.

Then, the base material A is provided on the belt conveyors 22 and 2
After being discharged from the cartridge 3, at least a pressing force is applied to the bending target portion F while being sent to the cart 26 which reciprocates in this way, and is thus continuously bent at a predetermined length as described above. And folded. That is, in the illustrated example, the pressing piece 24 for performing such pressing and the bending member 2

The bending target portion F is pressed from the outside, and is disposed immediately below the left and right pressing pieces 24, respectively, and rotates, for example, a triple roller-shaped spiral roller bending gradually formed with a narrow pitch and an acute angle. The left and right bending target portions F are sequentially inserted and inserted into the member 25 to be folded and stacked. In this way, the base material A is continuously inverted and bent at a constant length, and the left and right folds are sequentially folded in a zigzag manner in which the upper and lower folds coincide with each other vertically and the upper and lower sides are closely contacted. It is stacked on the cart 26 in a state. In the figure, reference numeral 28 denotes a static electricity generation preventing device, which is used when the base material A is non-metal, but is unnecessary when the base material A is made of metal foil.

The method for manufacturing a honeycomb core according to the present invention comprises:
It is as above. Therefore, it becomes as follows.

In this method of manufacturing a honeycomb core, first, an adhesive B is repeatedly applied to both sides of one side A ₁ and the other side A ₂ of a strip-shaped base material A at a constant interval E. In the example of FIG. In the example of FIG. 5, the coating is applied in the longitudinal direction D in the width direction C.
Then, a bending target portion F is specified at each boundary portion of the adhesive B on both surfaces of the base material A, and the vertical belt conveyors 22 and 23 are respectively defined.
While the substrate A sent by the above is sent to the cart 26 which reciprocates right and left in a predetermined manner, a pressing force is applied to the bending target portion F by the pressing piece 24 and the bending member 25, and every predetermined length. Fold, fold and stack in blocks. Thereafter, the adhesive was heated and pressurized to the melting point temperature of the adhesive B to perform lamination bonding, cutting both ends along the lamination direction, and then applying a tensile force in the lamination direction to expand the laminate, as shown in FIG. The honeycomb core G is manufactured. That is, as shown in the main part plan view of FIG. 6, the honeycomb core G is formed of a planar aggregate of a large number of hollow columnar cells H such as regular hexagons, and the cell wall J forming the cells H is formed as described above. And the base material A is stretched. Now, since the method for manufacturing the honeycomb core G is manufactured in this way, the following first, second, third, and fourth methods are obtained.

First, the application of the adhesive B to the base material A can be easily automated by the first coating device 9 and the second coating device 15 each having the print roll 11. Substrate A
It is also possible to continuously specify the folding target portion F, and to continuously apply the pressing force to the reciprocating cart 26 on the belt conveyors 22 and 23 to apply the pressing force to continuously fold and stack.
For example, the fold setting device 16 and the stacking device 21 can be easily configured and automated. Further, the conveyance of the substrate A during that time can be easily automated using the guide roll 3 or the like. As described above, in the method for manufacturing the honeycomb core G, the steps from the application of the adhesive B to the substrate A to the stacking of the substrate A can be continuously and automatically performed by a series of devices.

Secondly, in this manufacturing method, the application of the adhesive B and the lamination of the base material A can be performed without manual operation. It is easy to respond to the problem, and there is no problem even when the base material A is opaque. Further, since the stacking device 21 can be used, especially when stacking, the strip-shaped adhesive B is accurately shifted by a half pitch. And the pitch shift is prevented. In addition, since the base material A is not wound around the drum as in the conventional example, the pitch deviation is prevented from this surface, and the base material A is prevented from being rolled up and rounded, which hinders handling at the time of subsequent expansion or the like. Does not occur.

Thirdly, similarly, in this manufacturing method, since the base material A is not wound around a drum as in the conventional example, no inclined unused portion is generated at the end, which is the cut portion, and the yield is reduced. The honeycomb core G is often manufactured from the base material A.

Fourth, these can be arbitrarily and freely realized by appropriately applying the adhesive B to the strip-shaped substrate A along the width direction C or the longitudinal direction D.
In other words, in the conventional method for manufacturing the honeycomb core G, the adhesive B often had to be applied in either the width direction C or the longitudinal direction D depending on the use or the like,
According to this manufacturing method, it is possible to apply freely without such restrictions. Moreover, in this manufacturing method, the substrate A used can be widely and freely applied irrespective of whether it is a metal foil such as an aluminum foil or a nonmetal such as aramid paper, a PVC sheet, and paper. is there.

The following effects are exhibited by applying a pressing force to the identified bending target portion and folding and stacking.

First, the steps from the application of the adhesive to the stacking can be performed continuously and automatically by a series of devices, and the production efficiency is remarkably improved. In other words, in the method of manufacturing the honeycomb core, the steps from application of the adhesive to piling can be performed intensively and continuously by a series of integrated devices, and the required time is remarkably reduced as compared with the conventional example, and the working space is also reduced. The production efficiency is remarkably improved and the cost is excellent, for example, the work is greatly reduced and the work is simplified.

Secondly, pitch deviation, curling and the like are also prevented, and a high-quality and high-accuracy honeycomb core can be stably obtained. In other words, it is possible to carry out stacking and the like without manual work, it is easy to cope with expansion and contraction of the base material, and there is no problem even when the base material is opaque. Since it is not wound around a drum, pitch deviation and curling are reliably prevented, and a honeycomb core having a uniform cell shape can be easily obtained.

Third, the yield is good and the cost is also excellent. That is, since the base material is not taken up on the drum as in the conventional example, no inclined unused portion is generated at the end, which is a post-cutting point, so that there is no waste to be discarded and various drums need to be prepared in advance. There is no cost.

Fourthly, in these, the adhesive is applied to the strip-shaped base material appropriately along the width direction in the first and second aspects, and the adhesive is applied in the longitudinal direction in the third and fourth aspects. By applying along the direction, it can be realized arbitrarily and freely. Further, the substrate used can be widely and freely applied irrespective of metal or nonmetal.
