Description

本考案は拡縮可能な巻芯を用い、巻取り後、縮小して巻芯を抜き取り、巻取ロールをコアなし製品として取り出す一方、抜き取った巻芯を循環使用に供する巻替機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a rewinding machine that uses an expandable / contractable winding core, reduces the winding core after winding, extracts the winding roll as a coreless product, and uses the extracted winding core for circulation. .

現在、市販されているクッキングシート,アルミホイル等は5m,8m,10m巻等であるが、これらは家庭で使用されるため、通常、紙管に短尺で巻かれており、図4に示す如く紙管20両端にチャック21のテーパーコーン状ボスを押し込み、保持して巻取っている。しかし、短尺であることから巻芯にかかる費用が高く、巻芯なしで巻き取ることが求められている。   Currently, commercially available cooking sheets, aluminum foils, etc. are 5m, 8m, 10m rolls, etc., but these are usually used at home, so they are usually wound around paper tubes in short lengths, as shown in FIG. The tapered cone-shaped boss of the chuck 21 is pushed into both ends of the paper tube 20 and is wound and wound. However, since it is short, the cost required for the core is high, and it is required to wind without a core.

ところが、巻芯なしで巻き取るには巻かれるシートの物性にもよるが、通常、専用の巻替機が必要となる。そこで、上記巻芯なしでウエブを巻き取る手段として紙管に代わり拡縮可能な巻芯を使用し、巻き取り時は拡大状態で巻芯の働きをし、巻き終えた後は縮小させて巻取ロールから引き抜き、巻芯なしの状態とすると共に、引き抜いた巻芯は次の巻取芯として繰り返し使用することが提案されている。(例えば特許文献1参照)
特開2004−217397号公報
However, depending on the physical properties of the sheet to be wound to wind without a core, a dedicated rewinding machine is usually required. Therefore, as a means for winding the web without the above-described core, use a core that can be expanded and contracted instead of the paper tube. When winding, the core functions in the expanded state, and after the winding is finished, reduce the winding. It has been proposed that the core is pulled out from the roll and has no core, and the pulled core is repeatedly used as the next winding core. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
JP 2004-217397 A

しかし、上記巻芯なしロールを得る巻き取りにおいて、引き抜いた巻芯を繰り返し使用するとしても、その具体的な手段は示されていない。本考案は上述の如き実状に対し、特に効果的な巻芯繰り返し使用の機構を見出すことにより従来機に特別な改造を加えることなく、短尺ロールの巻き替えを効率的に行い、かつコアレスロールとして提供すると共に巻芯の循環使用を容易にして巻芯費用を縮減せしめることを目的とするものである。   However, even if the drawn core is repeatedly used in the winding to obtain the coreless roll, the specific means is not shown. The present invention finds a particularly effective mechanism for repetitive use of the core against the actual situation as described above, and efficiently rewinds the short roll without adding special modifications to the conventional machine, and as a coreless roll An object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of the core by facilitating the circulation and use of the core.

即ち、上記目的を達成する本考案は、長尺原反ロールからウエブを巻き戻し、短尺ロールに巻き替える巻替機であって、巻芯外径の拡縮可能な円筒状巻芯を用い、筒形状を縮小状態で両端チャックのテーパーコーン状ボスを押し込み、筒形状を拡大してウエブを巻き取り、巻き取り終了後、テーパーコーン状ボスを退去させて筒形状を縮小して巻芯を引抜き、巻取ロールをコアレスロール製品として取り外す構成からなると共に、巻芯引き抜き位置の下方に引き抜かれた巻芯を受止し下降する昇降可能な第1の巻芯リフターを設け、かつ巻芯供給部の下部に前記下降した第1の巻芯リフターより転送台を介し転送される巻芯を上部の巻芯供給部に供給する昇降可能な第2の巻芯リフターを配設してなることを特徴とする。なお、巻き替える巻芯を把持する両端チャック寸法は紙管巻芯用のチャック寸法と同一寸法とするのが好適である。   That is, the present invention that achieves the above object is a rewinding machine for rewinding a web from a long original roll and rewinding it to a short roll, using a cylindrical core with an expandable / contracted core outer diameter. Push down the tapered cone-shaped boss of the chuck at both ends in a reduced shape, wind up the web by enlarging the cylindrical shape, and after winding, retract the tapered cone-shaped boss to reduce the cylindrical shape and pull out the winding core, The winding roll is configured to be removed as a coreless roll product, and includes a first core lifter that can be moved up and down to receive and lower the core pulled out below the core pull-out position. A lower core lifter that can be moved up and down is disposed in the lower part to supply the core transferred from the lowered first core lifter via the transfer stand to the upper core supply unit. To do. In addition, it is preferable that the both-end chuck dimension for gripping the core to be rewinded is the same as the chuck dimension for the paper tube core.

上記本考案装置によれば、巻芯の外径を拡縮可能として巻芯外径を拡大して巻かれたウエブを巻芯を縮小して抜き取り、コアレス製品を得る一方、抜き取られた巻芯の外径を通常に戻し、第1,第2の巻芯リフターを利用することにより循環して繰り返し使用することができるから、紙管時と同様に容易に特別な改造なくして巻芯のない短尺ロールを自動的に、かつ能率的に生産することができる効果を有する。   According to the above device of the present invention, the outer diameter of the core can be expanded and contracted, and the web wound with the outer diameter of the core being enlarged is extracted by reducing the core to obtain a coreless product. Since the outer diameter can be returned to normal and can be circulated and reused by using the first and second core lifters, the short length without cores can be easily and without special remodeling as with paper tubes. The roll can be produced automatically and efficiently.

以下、更に添付図面を参照し、本考案の具体的な実施の態様を説明する。   Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1は本考案巻替機に使用する多軸ターレット巻取機であり、長尺原反ロールRより巻き戻されウエブWはガイドローラ1,2を経てターレット装置Tに送られ、巻取位置bで巻取チャックで両端を保持し、外径を拡大して待機している外径の拡縮可能な円筒状巻芯4にタッチローラ3を圧接させて短尺ロールとして巻き替えられる。この巻き替えられた短尺の巻取ロールR′は満巻後、ターレット装置Tの回動に従って移行し、移行位置と巻取位置の間で切断刃5によってウエブが切断され、切断端を次の巻芯に巻き付かせる一方、巻き取った短尺の巻取ロールR′は短尺ロール製品Mとして放出位置cへ進められる。そして、ロール製品Mの放出に先立って巻芯4はロール押え6でロール製品を押さえて、引き抜き用の巻芯ホルダー7により引き抜かれ取り出される。   FIG. 1 shows a multi-axis turret winder used in the rewinding machine according to the present invention. The web W is unwound from a long raw roll R and sent to a turret device T through guide rollers 1 and 2, and the winding position. At b, the both ends are held by a take-up chuck, the touch roller 3 is pressed against a cylindrical core 4 having an outer diameter that can be expanded and contracted, and is wound as a short roll. The rewinded short take-up roll R ′, after full winding, moves according to the rotation of the turret device T, the web is cut by the cutting blade 5 between the transition position and the winding position, and the cut end is moved to the next end. While being wound around the core, the wound short roll R ′ is advanced to the discharge position c as a short roll product M. Prior to the release of the roll product M, the core 4 is pressed by the roll presser 6 and pulled out by the core holder 7 for pulling out.

即ち、巻芯4の引き抜きは、先ずターレット装置Tの回動により巻取ロールR′が短尺ロール製品Mとして放出位置cに至った時、巻芯チャックを開き、巻芯外径を縮小して巻芯取り出し位置で巻取ロール押さえ6で巻取ロールR′を押さえて図2に示すように巻芯ホルダー7で巻芯を引き抜く。そして、引き抜かれた巻芯4はその下部に昇降する第1の巻芯リフター8が配設されていて、これが上昇状態でその受台8aに引き抜かれた巻芯4を受け取り、下降する。   That is, when the winding roll R ′ reaches the discharge position c as the short roll product M by the rotation of the turret device T, the core chuck is opened and the outer diameter of the core is reduced. At the core take-out position, the take-up roll R ′ is pressed by the take-up roll presser 6 and the core is pulled out by the core holder 7 as shown in FIG. The pulled core 4 is provided with a first core lifter 8 that moves up and down at the lower portion thereof. When the core 4 is lifted, it receives the core 4 that has been pulled out by the receiving base 8a and descends.

一方、ターレット装置Tにおいて、巻取位置bに先立つ巻芯を供給する位置aには供給する巻芯を保持し、順次、供給する巻芯供給部11が設けられていて、その下部に該供給部11に巻芯4を上昇させる第2の巻芯リフター9が設置され、前記第1の巻芯リフター8と第2の巻芯リフター9の間に第1の巻芯リフター8より第2の巻芯リフター9に巻芯4を転送する転送台10が介設されていて、図2の如く巻芯4は巻芯プッシャー12により第1の巻芯リフター8の受台8aより転送台10上に押し出されると、第2の巻芯リフター9に向かって転送され、第2の巻芯リフター9上に載せられる。そして、第2のリフター9の上昇と共に転送された巻芯は再び巻芯供給部11に供給され、順次、循環使用に供される。   On the other hand, in the turret device T, the core to be supplied is held at a position a for supplying the core prior to the winding position b, and a core supply unit 11 for supplying the core is sequentially provided. A second core lifter 9 that raises the core 4 is installed in the portion 11, and the second core lifter 8 is second between the first core lifter 8 and the second core lifter 9 by the second core lifter 8. A transfer base 10 for transferring the core 4 is interposed in the core lifter 9, and the core 4 is placed on the transfer base 10 from the receiving base 8 a of the first core lifter 8 by the core pusher 12 as shown in FIG. 2. Is pushed toward the second core lifter 9 and placed on the second core lifter 9. Then, the core transferred along with the rise of the second lifter 9 is supplied again to the core supply unit 11 and is sequentially used for circulation.

かくして、長尺原反ロールRから巻き戻されるウエブWが短尺の巻取ロールR′として巻き替えられ、短尺の巻取ロール製品Mに形成され、巻芯放出位置において巻芯チャックが開かれ、巻芯が収縮することにより引き抜き位置でロール押え6で押えられて巻芯4は巻芯ホルダー7により引き抜かれ、短尺のコアレスロール製品Mが取り出される一方、巻芯ホルダー7により巻取ロールから引き抜かれた巻芯4は第1の巻芯リフター8上に受止され、巻芯リフター8の降下に伴って下降し、巻芯プッシャー12により転送台10上に押し出されて第2の巻芯リフター9側に転送され、第2のリフター9上で保持されて適宜、上昇して上方の巻芯供給部11に保管され、爾後の繰り返し使用に供される。   Thus, the web W unwound from the long original roll R is rewound as a short take-up roll R ′, formed into a short take-up roll product M, and the core chuck is opened at the core discharge position. When the core contracts, the core 4 is pulled out by the core holder 7 at the pulling position and pulled out by the core holder 7, and a short coreless roll product M is taken out, while the core holder 7 pulls it from the winding roll. The pulled core 4 is received on the first core lifter 8, descends as the core lifter 8 is lowered, and is pushed out onto the transfer table 10 by the core pusher 12 to be second core lifter. 9 is transferred to the side 9, held on the second lifter 9, and appropriately lifted and stored in the upper core supply unit 11 for repeated use.

なお、本発明において使用される巻芯4は上述のように巻取り後、巻取ロールより引き抜かれるため巻取り時、拡大し、巻取り終了後、縮小する拡縮構成を有することが肝要である。図3はかかる拡縮構成を有する巻芯の1例を示す。この巻芯4は外筒部41が長さ方向に3分割され、収縮用ゴムリング42により保持されて、両端チャック寸法を従前の紙管のチャック(図4参照)寸法と同一にして収縮可能となっており、筒部内部に拡縮用コイルばね43が両端をカム板44に止着されて内装されており、巻取り時、両端にチャックのテーパーコーン状ボス45が押し込まれるとき、該ボス45のテーパーコーン状ボス部とカム板44との係合によりコイルばね43が軸方向に圧縮,解放されて巻き取り時、外筒部41は拡大し、巻き取り終了後に縮小されて巻取ロール製品より引き抜かれることになる。勿論、拡縮可能な巻芯であれば上記構成に限定されるものではない。   In addition, since the winding core 4 used in the present invention is pulled out from the winding roll after winding as described above, it is important that the winding core 4 has an expansion / contraction configuration that expands during winding and contracts after winding. . FIG. 3 shows an example of a winding core having such an expansion / contraction configuration. The core 4 has an outer cylinder portion 41 divided into three in the length direction and is held by a shrinking rubber ring 42 so that the chucks at both ends can be shrunk with the same size as the chuck of a conventional paper tube (see FIG. 4). An expansion / contraction coil spring 43 is fixed inside the cylinder portion with both ends fixed to the cam plate 44. When the taper cone-shaped boss 45 of the chuck is pushed into both ends during winding, the boss When the coil spring 43 is compressed and released in the axial direction by the engagement of the tapered cone-shaped boss portion 45 and the cam plate 44, the outer cylinder portion 41 expands when the winding is performed, and is reduced after the winding is completed. It will be pulled out from the product. Of course, it is not limited to the above configuration as long as the core can be expanded and contracted.

本考案装置は以上のようにして巻芯の拡縮によりウエブ巻取り時は巻取芯の役目を果たし、巻取り後は引き抜かれて巻芯のない巻取りロールとしてコアレス製品を提供することができると共に、引き抜かれた巻芯は次の巻取芯として循環されて繰り返し使用され、環境問題,省資源,コスト低減に対し頗る効果的である。   As described above, the device of the present invention can serve as a winding core when winding the web by expanding and contracting the winding core, and can be provided as a winding roll without a winding core by being pulled out after winding. At the same time, the drawn core is circulated and used repeatedly as the next winding core, which is very effective for environmental problems, resource saving and cost reduction.
