Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、紙やフィルム等の巻取を梱包している梱包材のうち、端面に位置している端面梱包材(鏡面ワンプとも言う)を円板状に切り離した後、その端面梱包材を巻芯端部に装着している保護材と共に巻取から外し、所定の位置に排出するための装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の装置としては、本出願人が先に開発し特許出願したもの(特開平5−162728号公報参照)が知られている。この公報に開示の装置は、図8、図9に示すように、巻取1の端面梱包材2を円板状に切り離す梱包材切断装置3の両側に、回転テーブル4を設け、その回転テーブル4上に昇降装置5を設けて水平移動部材6を昇降(Z−Z方向に移動)するように且つ水平(X−X方向)に移動するように保持させ、更に、その水平移動部材6に球面軸受7を介して移動フレーム8を保持させ、その移動フレーム8の先端に開閉爪9を備えたチャック装置10を横向き及び下向きに旋回可能に取り付けた構成となっている。
【0003】
そして、この装置による動作は次のように行われていた。すなわち、まず、梱包材切断装置3の一対のローラ14の上に巻取1を乗せ、その巻取1に対して移動フレーム8の高さ位置を調整して、その先端の開閉爪9を巻取1の巻芯11に対向させ、次いで、移動フレーム8を巻取1に向かって前進させ、開閉爪9を閉じた状態で、巻芯11端部の保護材12に挿入し、その状態で、巻取1を回転させて切断刃(図示せず)によって端面梱包材の外周部の切り離しを行い、次いで、開閉爪9を開いて保護材12の端面に引っかけ、移動フレーム8を後退させることで、開閉爪9を巻芯11から引き抜くと共に端面梱包材2及び保護材12を巻取1から外し、その後、回転テーブル4を回転させて開閉爪9に保持させている端面梱包材2及び保護材12を排出位置13の上方に運び、開閉爪9を下向きにして、端面梱包材2及び保護材12を排出位置13に排出していた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、かかる装置には更に改良すべき点があった。すなわち、梱包材切断装置3にセットした巻取1の両端面に対向する位置に回転テーブル4、昇降装置5等を配置しているため、梱包材切断装置3に対する巻取の搬入、排出方向が矢印A、Bで示す方向或いはその逆方向に制限され、端面梱包材切断装置3のローラ14を横切る方向とせざるを得ない。このため、巻取1をクレーン等で吊り上げた状態で出し入れするとか、ローラ14の外側のテーブル面上を転がして出し入れするということが必要となり、前者の場合は作業性が悪く、後者の場合には巻取1の外周部分を傷めることがあるといった問題があった。また、開閉爪9を巻芯内に突き刺すために移動フレーム8を水平に移動させる機構として、モータ、ラック、ピニオンを用いているが、開閉爪9を保護材12内に挿入する際、巻取の種類によっては保護材12の外側に端面梱包材2が存在している場合があり、その場合には開閉爪を端面梱包材を貫通して保護材12に挿入するために大きい力を必要とし、そのため大容量のモータを使用しなければならず、装置が大型化してコスト高となる。更に、端面梱包材の排出位置13が回転テーブル4の近傍に限られてしまう。
【0005】
本発明は、かかる問題点を解決せんとするもので、端面梱包材切断装置に対する巻取の搬入、搬出方向に制限を与えず、このためベルトコンベアによる搬入、搬出を可能とし、また、簡単な機構によって開閉爪を巻芯内に挿入でき、しかも切断後の端面梱包材を端面梱包材切断装置から離れた位置に排出可能な端面梱包材除去回収装置を提供することを課題とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記した従来の問題点を解決するため、前記端面梱包材切断装置に所定高さに保持される巻取よりも上方の水平面内で、前記端面梱包材切断装置に所定高さに保持された巻取の軸線すなわち前記端面梱包材切断装置の基準軸線に対して直角方向及び平行方向に移動可能なスライダーを設け、そのスライダーを前記基準軸線に平行方向にシリンダ機構を用いて移動させるようにし、更にそのスライダーに下方に延びるようにアームを取り付け、そのアームに、巻取巻芯内に挿入し巻芯内の保護材を引っかけて引き抜くための開閉爪を備えたチャック装置を、端面梱包材切断装置に保持された巻取の端面を向く方向及び下向き方向に旋回可能に保持させ、更に、前記チャック装置の開閉爪が前記巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出する開閉爪挿入検出手段と、その開閉爪挿入検出手段からの検出信号によって前記シリンダ機構によるスライダーの移動力を弱める制御装置を設けるという構成としたものである。
【0007】
本発明はこの構成により、端面梱包材切断装置に保持された巻取の端面に向かい合う位置にチャック装置が位置するようにスライダーを位置決めし、チャック装置を巻取の端面に向けた状態で、スライダーをシリンダ機構で巻取に向かう方向に移動させることでチャック装置の開閉爪を端面梱包材を貫通させて巻芯内の保護材内に突き刺すことができ、端面梱包材の切断後は、開閉爪を開いた後、スライダーをシリンダ機構で前回とは反対方向に移動させることでチャック装置を巻取から引き抜き、保護材に開閉爪を引っかけて保護材と端面梱包材を巻取から外すことができ、その後、スライダーを端面梱包材切断装置の基準軸線に対して直角方向に移動させることで、アーム、チャック装置、それに保持している保護材や端面梱包材を端面梱包材切断装置の側方に設けた排出位置に移動させることができ、その位置でチャック装置を下に向けることで保護材や端面梱包材をその位置に排出できる。また、この時には、端面梱包材切断装置に保持している巻取の端面に向かい合う位置にはアーム、チャック装置等が存在しないため、巻取をその軸線方向に出し入れすることができ、端面梱包材切断装置に対して巻取の出し入れが容易となり、ベルトコンベアの使用が可能となる。更に、チャック装置の開閉爪を巻取の保護材内に挿入するための駆動源として、シリンダ機構を用いたことにより、構造を簡単化でき、コストダウンを図ることができる。また、前記チャック装置の開閉爪が巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出する開閉爪挿入検出手段と、その開閉爪挿入検出手段からの検出信号によって前記シリンダ機構によるスライダーの移動力を弱める制御装置を設けているので、チャック装置の開閉爪を確実に巻取内の所定位置に挿入でき、保護材の抜き取りが確実となると共に、チャック装置が巻取端面に強く押し付けられすぎて巻取を傷つけるといったことを防止できる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の端面梱包材除去回収装置は、端面梱包材切断装置に所定高さに保持される巻取よりも上方の水平面内で、前記端面梱包材切断装置に所定高さに保持された巻取の軸線すなわち前記端面梱包材切断装置の基準軸線に対して直角方向及び平行方向に移動可能なスライダーと、該スライダーを前記基準軸線に直角方向に移動させる移動手段と、前記スライダーを前記基準軸線に平行方向に移動させるシリンダ機構と、前記スライダーから下方に延びるように取り付けられたアームと、該アームに保持されたチャック装置であって、巻取の巻芯端部の保護材を引っかけて引き抜くための開閉爪とその開閉爪を開閉させる爪開閉手段を備えたチャック装置と、該チャック装置を、前記開閉爪の先端が巻取の端面を向く作動位置と、下方を向く排出位置とに旋回させる旋回手段を備え、更に、前記チャック装置の開閉爪が前記巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出する開閉爪挿入検出手段と、その開閉爪挿入検出手段からの検出信号によって前記シリンダ機構によるスライダーの移動力を弱める制御装置を有することを特徴とし、この構成により、チャック装置を巻取の巻芯端部内に挿入し、巻芯端部の保護材を端面梱包材と共に巻取から外し、所定の排出位置に排出することができ、また、端面梱包材切断装置に対して巻取を、その軸線方向に即ち前記基準軸線方向に搬入、搬出する構成とすることができる。更に、前記チャック装置の開閉爪が前記巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出する開閉爪挿入検出手段と、その開閉爪挿入検出手段からの検出信号によって前記シリンダ機構によるスライダーの移動力を弱める制御装置を設けているので、チャック装置の開閉爪を確実に巻取内の所定位置に挿入でき、保護材の抜き取りが確実となると共に、チャック装置が巻取端面に強く押し付けられすぎて巻取を傷つけるといったことを防止できる。
【0009】
ここで、前記スライダーを端面梱包材切断装置の基準軸線に対して直角方向及び平行方向に移動させるための機構としては、前記基準軸線に対して直角方向に移動する移動台を設け、その移動台に前記基準軸線に対して平行方向に前記スライダーを移動可能に保持させる構成とし、移動台及びスライダーをそれぞれロッドレスシリンダで移動させる構成とすることが好ましい。この構成とすれば、移動台を移動させることで、スライダーを基準軸線に対して直角方向に移動させることができ、またスライダーを移動台に対して移動させることで基準軸線に対して平行方向に移動させることができる。また、移動台及びスライダーの移動にそれぞれロッドレスシリンダを用いることで、狭いスペースに配置できると共に大きい駆動力を発揮させることができる。
【0011】
また、上記したチャック装置を、巻取の端面梱包材に押し当て可能な支え部材と、該支え部材の前面側に、支え部材の最先端よりも引っ込んだ位置から、前記開閉爪に引っ掛かった端面梱包材を払い落とす位置まで移動可能な押し部材と、該押し部材を往復動させるシリンダ機構を備えた構成とし、更に、前記開閉爪挿入検出手段が前記押し部材の支え部材に対する位置によって開閉爪の保護材に対する挿入完了を検出する構成とすることが好ましい。この構成とすると、端面梱包材を開閉爪から確実に払い落とすことができると共に、開閉爪挿入検出手段の構成部品を他の用途の部品と兼用することで、コストダウンを図ることができる。
【0012】
また、前記チャック装置が更に、前記アームに旋回可能に保持された旋回台座と、該旋回台座に前記爪開閉手段を介して前記開閉爪を保持させる連結手段を備えており、その連結手段は、前記開閉爪が、偏心した巻取の回転により生じる巻芯の移動に追従して移動するのを許容する可変機構を備えた構成とすることが好ましく、その構成とすると、開閉爪を巻取の保護材内に挿入した状態で、巻取を回転させて端面梱包材の切断を行う際に、巻芯が偏心によって移動しても、開閉爪もそれに連れて移動でき、端面梱包材の切断作業に開閉爪が干渉することがない。
【0013】
更に、その可変機構として、前記旋回台座に片面を固定して設けられた変形可能なベロー型シリンダーと、そのベロー型シリンダーの反対面に保持され、略円錐状(通常の円錐形状のみならず、中心軸線に沿って切断した断面形状が中心軸線に対して傾斜した円弧状等の曲線で構成された形状を含む)のストッパ面を有すると共に前記爪開閉手段を取り付けるための支持部材と、前記旋回台座に固定して設けられ、前記支持部材のストッパ面に係合するガイド面を備えたガイドを備えたものを用いることが好ましい。この構成とすると、前記ベロー型シリンダー内に高圧を作用させた時には前記支持部材のストッパ面を前記ガイドのガイド面に強く押し付けて支持部材及びそれに取り付けた開閉爪を定位置に固定でき、また、前記ベロー型シリンダー内の圧力を低くした時には、前記ストッパ面がガイド面に対して移動自在となり、前記支持部材及びそれに取り付けた開閉爪の移動を許容することとなり、簡単な機構で開閉爪の固定、解放を行うことができる。また、ベロー型シリンダーを用いたことにより、簡単な且つ小型の構造で変位量を大きくとることができ、低コストで可変機構を構成できる。
【0014】
【実施例】
以下、図面に示す本発明の好適な実施例を説明する。図1は、端面梱包材切断装置及び本発明の実施例による端面梱包材除去回収装置を、アームの中間部分の高さで切断して示す概略水平断面、図2、図3はそれぞれ図1に示す装置を、矢印C−C方向、D−D方向に見た概略断面図である。全体を参照符号20で示す端面梱包材切断装置は、巻取1の端面梱包材2の外周部を切断して円板状に切り離すためのものであり、巻取1を保持して回転させる一対のベーラ21と、そのベーラ21を昇降させる昇降機構(図示せず)と、ベーラ21で保持されて回転している巻取2の外周の梱包材を切断して端面梱包材2を切り離すための切断ユニット23等を備えている。なお、本明細書において、ベーラ21で所定高さに保持された巻取1の軸線を、端面梱包材切断装置20の基準軸線とする。
【0015】
一対のベーラ21の間には、ベーラ21の軸線に平行に巻取搬送用のベルトコンベア25が設けられている。この構成により、一対のベーラ21を図3に二点鎖線で示す退避位置に下降させた状態で、ベルトコンベア25で巻取1を、巻取の軸線方向に搬送して端面梱包材切断装置20内の所定位置に搬入し、次いで、一対のベーラ21を上昇させることで巻取1を所定高さに保持して所定の処理を行い、その後、一対のベーラ21を下降させて巻取1をベルトコンベア25上に下ろし、ベルトコンベア25で巻取の軸線方向に排出するという作業を行うことができ、巻取1の搬入、搬出を容易に且つ敏速に行うことが可能となり、且つ搬入、搬出時に巻取を転がす必要がないので、巻取に傷を付けることがないと言った利点が得られる。
【0016】
全体を参照符号30で示す端面梱包材除去回収装置は、上方に配置された支持フレーム31と、その支持フレーム31に取り付けられたガイドレール32と、そのガイドレール32に移動可能に保持された移動台33を備えている。このガイドレール32は端面梱包材切断装置20の基準軸線(巻取1の軸線)に直角で且つ水平に設けられており、従って移動台33は、端面梱包材切断装置に保持された巻取の上方に位置し、該端面梱包材切断装置20の基準軸線に対して直角で且つ水平に(Y−Y方向に)走行可能である。更に、支持フレーム31には、移動台33を走行させるための機構として、ロッドレスシリンダ34が取り付けられている。なお、移動台を走行させるための機構としては、ロッドレスシリンダ34に限らず、他の形式のシリンダ機構を用いてもよいし、モータを用いたものを用いてもよいが、ロッドレスシリンダ34は小スペースに設置可能で且つ大きい力を発揮できるので、好ましい。ガイドレール32の長さは、移動台33を、端面梱包材切断装置20の側方に離れた所望位置に設定した端面梱包材排出位置Pに置かれたパレット35の上方に移動させることができるように設定されている。
【0017】
移動台33の下面には、移動台33の移動方向に直角に、従って、端面梱包材切断装置20の基準軸線(巻取1の軸線)に平行にガイドレール37が取り付けられ、そのガイドレール37にはスライダー38が移動可能に保持されている。また、そのスライダー38を往復動させるための機構として、移動台33にロッドレスシリンダ39が取り付けられ、スライダー38に連結されている。かくして、スライダー38は、所定位置に置かれている巻取1の軸線に平行方向(X−X方向)に往復動可能である。なお、スライダー38を往復動させる機構としては、ロッドレスシリンダに限らず、他の形式のシリンダ機構を用いてもよいが、ロッドレスシリンダが設置スペースを小さくできるので好ましい。
【0018】
スライダー38の下面には、アーム42が下方に延びるように取り付けられており、その下端に逆U字状の取付具43が取り付けられ、その取付具43にチャック装置44が、巻取1の軸線に直角で且つ水平な軸線を中心として旋回可能に取り付けられている。このチャック装置44は、図4、図5に拡大して示すように、巻取の端面梱包材に押し当てて支えるための支え部材46と、その支え部材46を貫通して突出するように設けられ、閉じた状態で、巻取の巻芯端部の保護材内に挿入され、開くことでその保護材を引っかけることの可能な開閉爪47と、その開閉爪47を開閉させる爪開閉手段(例えば、エアチャック)48等を備えており、爪開閉手段48に支え部材46が保持されている。チャック装置44は更に、アーム42(図2参照)下端の取付具43に回転自在に保持された軸50a、50bに固定して取り付けら、アーム42に対して旋回可能な旋回台座51と、その旋回台座51に爪開閉手段48を保持させる連結手段52を備えている。
【0019】
この連結手段52は、前記開閉爪が、偏心した巻取の回転により生じる巻芯の移動に追従して移動するのを許容する可変機構を備えている。本実施例ではその可変機構として、旋回台座51に片面を固定して設けられた変形可能なベロー型シリンダー〔例えば、タイヤシリンダー(商品名)〕53と、そのベロー型シリンダー53の反対面に保持され、略円錐状(円錐状或いは球面状等の中心軸線に対して傾斜した形状)のストッパ面55aを有する支持部材55と、旋回台座51に固定して設けられ、支持部材55のストッパ面55aに係合するガイド面56aを備えたガイド56等を備えたものを使用しており、その支持部材55に爪開閉手段48が保持されている。
【0020】
ここで用いているベロー型シリンダー53は、内部に流体圧を作用させるベロー部分53aと、その両側の端板53b、53cを備えた構成であり、ベロー部分53aがゴム等の変形可能な材料で作られていて伸縮可能であると共に端板53cの端板53bに対する角度が変形可能となっている。かくして、ベロー型シリンダー53に高圧を作用させると、図4に示すように、支持部材55のストッパ面55aがガイド56のガイド面56aに強く押し付けられ、支持部材55は所定位置に固定されて動かなくなるが、ベロー型シリンダー53の圧力を低下させると、図5に示すように、ストッパ面55aとガイド面56aとの間で滑ることが可能となり、開閉爪47に上下左右の任意の方向の力が作用し、従って支持部材55に上下左右の任意の方向の力が作用した時、支持部材55は任意の方向に動くことができ、開閉爪47も動くことができる。ここで、ベロー部分53aの柔軟性によって端板53cが変形しうる角度はかなり大きく、従って、端板53c及びそれに取り付けている支持部材並びに開閉爪47の中心線の旋回可能角度θは大きく、例えば、30°程度である。このため、図5に示すように、開閉爪47を巻取1の巻芯内の保護材12に挿入した状態で巻取1を回転させた時に巻芯の偏心によってその保護材12が移動しても、開閉爪47はその保護材12の移動に追従して支障なく移動することができる。
【0021】
図4、図6において、支え部材46は、前面に巻取端面に軽く押し当てるための当接面46aを有している。この当接面46aには支え部材46が傾いても支障を生じないように傾斜を設けている。更に支え部材46の前面側で且つ当接面46aの外周部には段部46bを設け、その位置にリング状の押し部材60を配置している。この押し部材60は、開閉爪47に引っ掛かった端面梱包材を払い落とすためのもので、その後面に、円周方向に一定ピッチで複数の(本実施例では3本の)ガイドロッドを取り付けており、そのガイドロッド61を支え部材46に設けた穴に摺動可能に保持させることで、支え部材46に対して移動可能に保持されている。また、支え部材46の背面には、エアシリンダ62が取り付けられ、そのピストンロッドを押し部材60に連結している。この構成により、押し部材60は支え部材46に対して往復動させられる。ここで、押し部材60の移動範囲としては、図6(a)に示すように、押し部材60の先端が支え部材46の当接面46aの最先端よりも後ろに引っ込んだ位置から、図6(b)に示すように、開閉爪47に引っ掛かっていた端面梱包材を払い落とすことができる位置まで移動することができるように定められている。なお、図6では、ガイドロッド61とエアシリンダ62を上下に(180°離れて)位置するように示しているが、これは図面を分かりやすくするためであって、実際には相互に干渉しない位置で且つ支え部材46の後方の旋回台座51等に干渉しない位置に配置されている。
【0022】
図6(c)に示すように、支え部材46には、押し部材60が支え部材46に対して予め設定した位置に達したことを検出するセンサ64が設けられている。更に具体的には、押し部材60の先端が支え部材46の最先端位置にほぼ一致する位置となった時に、押し部材60に連結されているガイドロッド61の1本の後端を検出する位置(若しくはガイドロッド61に設けた被検出部材を検出する位置)にセンサ64が設けられている。この構成により、押し部材60を支え部材46よりも前に位置させた状態で、チャック装置44を巻取1に向かって移動させ、開閉爪47を巻取1の保護材12内に挿入させて行った時、押し部材60が巻取端面で押されて引っ込んでゆき、図6(c)に示すように、その押し部材60の先端と支え部材46の先端がほぼ同一位置となって支え部材46が巻取端面にほぼ接し、開閉爪47が所定位置まで挿入された時点で、センサ64が挿入完了を示す検出信号を出力する。従って、センサ64は、開閉爪が巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出して信号を出力する開閉爪挿入検出手段を構成する。このセンサ64の出力信号は、後述するようにスライダー38を移動させるロッドレスシリンダ39の制御に使用される構成となっている。
【0023】
図2、図4において、アーム42の下端の取付具43に保持された軸50aには、チャック装置44を旋回させるための旋回手段としてロータリーアクチュエータ70が連結され、そのロータリーアクチュエータ70はブラケット71を介して取付具43に連結されている。また、他方の軸50bにはレバー72が設けられ、取付具43に取り付けられた衝撃吸収用のストッパ73に突き当たって回転を止められるようになっている。ここで、ロータリーアクチュエータ70とストッパ73とは、チャック装置44を、チャック装置44が水平となってその先端(開閉爪47)が巻取端面を向く作動位置と、下方を向く排出位置とに旋回させ、且つその位置に停止させるように配置されている。なお、旋回手段としては、ロータリーアクチュエータ70に限らず、適宜変更可能である。
【0024】
図2において、端面梱包材切断装置20のベーラ21に保持された巻取1の上方に位置するように、巻取径検出装置75が設けられている。この巻取径検出装置75はベーラ21に保持された巻取1の外径を測定するものであり、その測定結果に基づいて、ベーラ21がその巻取1を、巻芯11の中心がアーム42に保持されたチャック装置44の中心軸線に一致する所定高さ位置に、位置決めする構成となっている。
【0025】
次に、上記構成の装置による動作を説明する。図3において、ベーラ21が二点鎖線で示す退避位置に下降し、且つ移動台33がベルトコンベア25の上方を外れた位置にある状態で、ベルトコンベア25によって巻取1が端面梱包材切断装置20内の所定位置に送られて来る。次いで、巻取径検出装置75(図2参照)によって巻径を測定した後、その情報に基づいてベーラ21が上昇し、巻取1を、巻芯中心が所定高さとなる位置に持ち上げ、その位置に保持する。次に、移動台33が端面梱包材切断装置20の基準軸線方向に移動し、図1、図2に示すように、保持しているチャック装置44を巻取1の端面に対向する位置に位置決めする。なお、この時、チャック装置44は開閉爪47を閉じた状態で且つ水平としている。また、図4に示すように、ベロー型シリンダー53には高圧が作用しており、支持部材55は所定位置に固定され、開閉爪47は水平に固定されている。
【0026】
次に、チャック装置44に設けている押し部材60(図6参照)を支え部材46よりも前に突き出した状態で、図2においてスライダー38がロッドレスシリンダ39(図3参照)によって巻取1に向かって移動させられ、チャック装置44を巻取1の端面に向かって移動させてゆく。これにより、チャック装置44の開閉爪47が端面梱包材2を突き刺し、巻芯11の端部の保護材12内に挿入される。この時、開閉爪47の端面梱包材2の突き刺しにはかなりの力が必要であるが、スライダー38を移動させるロッドレスシリンダ39による駆動力によって開閉爪47が端面梱包材2を突き刺すので、支障なく突き刺し可能である。そして、図6(c)に示すように、開閉爪47が保護材12内の所定位置まで挿入した時点で、センサ64がそれを検出し、挿入完了信号を出力して、ロッドレスシリンダ39の供給圧を減じ、弱い押圧力にて、支え部材を端面に押し付ける。この後、ロッドレスシリンダ39はスライダー38を移動しないように固定する。
【0027】
次に、図7(a)に示すように、押し部材60がエアシリンダ63によって後退させられる。また、ベロー型シリンダー53(図5参照)の圧力が低圧に切り換えられ、開閉爪47が移動自在となる。この状態で端面梱包材2の切断動作が行われる。すなわち、ベーラ21が回転して、保持している巻取1を回転させ、巻取外周部の梱包材を切断ユニット23(図3参照)の切断刃で切断してゆく。これにより、端面梱包材2が円板状に切り離される。この切断動作の間、巻取1の巻芯11が偏心している時には、回転につれて上下左右に動くことがあるが、チャック装置44の開閉爪47は任意に移動可能であるので、巻芯11及びその内部の保護材12の動きに追従して動き、支障は生じない。また、端面梱包材2の切断進行に伴い、端面梱包材2が倒れようとすることがあるが、その端面梱包材2の中心部分をチャック装置44の支え部材46で支えているので、端面梱包材2が不都合に倒れるということもない。かくして、端面梱包材2が良好に円板状に切り離される。
【0028】
端面梱包材2の切断を終了すると、図7(b)に示すように、開閉爪47を開き、その状態でスライダー38を後退させることで、チャック装置44を巻取1から離してゆく。これにより、図7(c)に示すように、チャック装置44の開閉爪47が保護材12を引っかけて巻芯11から引き抜くと共に、端面梱包材2も巻取1の端面から引き離してゆく。そして、開閉爪47を巻芯11から引き抜いた後の適当な時期に、ベロー型シリンダー53(図5参照)の圧力を高圧に切り換えて、開閉爪47を固定する。その後、移動台33を、図1、図3に示す端面梱包材排出位置Pの上方に移動させ、次いで、チャック装置44を下向きに旋回させ、開閉爪47を閉じると共に、押し部材60を突出させる。これによって、端面梱包材2及び保護材12が下方に排出され、パレット35上に堆積される。
【0029】
移動台33が端面梱包材排出位置Pの方に移動している間に、ベーラ21が下降して巻取1をベルトコンベア25に乗せ、そのベルトコンベア25によって処理済の巻取1を次の工程に排出すると共に、次の処理すべき巻取1をベーラ21の上方に運び込み、次の動作に備える。以下同様の動作を繰り返すことで、巻取1の端面梱包材2及び保護材12を除去して端面梱包材排出位置に次々と排出することができる。
【0030】
なお、上記実施例では、巻取1から端面梱包材2と保護材12を同時にチャック装置44によって取り外す場合を説明したが、本発明はこの場合に限らず、保護材12を取り付けていない巻取に対して、端面梱包材のみを除去するようにしてもよい。その場合においてはチャック装置44の開閉爪47を端面梱包材2を貫通して巻芯内に挿入し、その状態で巻取を回転させて端面梱包材2の外周を切り離し、その後、開閉爪47を開いて巻芯から引き抜くことで、開閉爪47を端面梱包材2に引っかけ、巻取端面から取り外すことができる。
【0031】
【発明の効果】
以上に説明したように、本発明は、端面梱包材切断装置の所定位置にセットされた巻取よりも上方の水平面内において、端面梱包材切断装置の基準軸線(保持された巻取の軸線)に対して直角及び平行に走行するスライダーを設けると共にそのスライダーを基準軸線に平行方向にシリンダ機構を用いて移動させるようにし、更にそのスライダーに、下方に延びるようにアームを取り付け、そのアームに、巻取の巻芯内に挿入し巻芯内の保護材を引っかけて取り外すための開閉爪を備えたチャック装置を取り付けた構成としたことにより、保護材を装着した巻取からチャック装置によって端面梱包材と保護材を取り外すことができ、巻取からチャック装置によって取り外した端面梱包材や保護材を、スライダーの移動によって端面梱包材切断装置から離れた所望の位置に設定した端面梱包材排出位置に排出することができ、しかも、そのチャック装置を端面梱包材排出位置に移動させた時には、端面梱包材切断装置上の巻取の端面に向かい合う位置には巻取の搬入、搬出に干渉する物が存在しないため、巻取をその軸線方向に出し入れすることができ、端面梱包材切断装置に対して巻取の出し入れが容易となり、ベルトコンベアを使用して敏速に巻取の搬入、搬出を行うことができると共に巻取を転がす必要がないので巻取に傷を付けることがない。更に、本発明では、チャック装置の開閉爪を巻取の保護材内に挿入するための駆動源として、シリンダ機構を用いたことにより、モータを用いる場合に比べて大きい力を小型の装置で出すことができ、このため構造を簡単化し、コストダウンを図ることができる。また、本発明では、チャック装置の開閉爪が前記巻取の保護材内の所定位置まで挿入されたことを検出する開閉爪挿入検出手段と、その開閉爪挿入検出手段からの検出信号によって前記シリンダ機構によるスライダーの移動力を弱める制御装置を設けているので、チャック装置の開閉爪を確実に巻取内の所定位置に挿入でき、保護材の抜き取りが確実となると共に、チャック装置が巻取端面に強く押し付けられすぎて巻取を傷つけるといったことを防止できる等、種々の効果を有している。

A moving frame 8 is held via a spherical bearing 7, and a chuck device 10 having an opening / closing claw 9 at the tip of the moving frame 8 is attached so as to be able to turn sideways and downward.
[0003]
The operation by this apparatus was performed as follows. That is, first, the winding 1 is placed on the pair of rollers 14 of the packing material cutting device 3, the height position of the moving frame 8 is adjusted with respect to the winding 1, and the opening / closing claw 9 at the tip is wound. Then, the moving frame 8 is moved forward toward the winding 1 and inserted into the protective member 12 at the end of the winding core 11 with the opening / closing claw 9 closed. Then, the winding 1 is rotated, the outer peripheral portion of the end face packing material is cut off by a cutting blade (not shown), then the opening / closing claw 9 is opened and hooked on the end face of the protective material 12, and the moving frame 8 is retracted. Then, the opening / closing claw 9 is pulled out from the winding core 11 and the end surface packing material 2 and the protective material 12 are removed from the winding 1, and then the end surface packing material 2 and the protection held by the opening / closing claw 9 by rotating the rotary table 4.

[0016]
An end-face packing material removal and recovery device generally indicated by reference numeral 30 includes a support frame 31 disposed above, a guide rail 32 attached to the support frame 31, and a movement movably held by the guide rail 32. A stand 33 is provided. The guide rail 32 is provided at a right angle and horizontally to the reference axis line (the axis line of the winding 1) of the end surface packing material cutting device 20, so that the movable table 33 is wound by the winding material held by the end surface packing material cutting device. It is located above and can travel horizontally (in the YY direction) at right angles to the reference axis of the end surface packing material cutting device 20. Further, a rodless cylinder 34 is attached to the support frame 31 as a mechanism for causing the movable table 33 to travel. The mechanism for running the moving table is not limited to the rodless cylinder 34, but other types of cylinder mechanisms or motors may be used, but the rodless cylinder 34 may be used.

The length of the guide rail 32 can move the moving table 33 above the pallet 35 placed at the end surface packing material discharge position P set at a desired position away from the side of the end surface packing material cutting device 20. Is set to
[0017]
A guide rail 37 is attached to the lower surface of the moving table 33 at a right angle to the moving direction of the moving table 33, and thus parallel to the reference axis line (the axis line of the winding 1) of the end face packing material cutting device 20. The slider 38 is held movably. Further, as a mechanism for reciprocating the slider 38, a rodless cylinder 39 is attached to the moving table 33 and is connected to the slider 38. Thus, the slider 38 can reciprocate in a direction parallel to the axis of the winding 1 placed at a predetermined position (XX direction). The mechanism for reciprocating the slider 38 is not limited to the rodless cylinder, but other types of cylinder mechanisms may be used. However, the rodless cylinder is preferable because the installation space can be reduced.
[0018]
An arm 42 is attached to the lower surface of the slider 38 so as to extend downward. An inverted U-shaped attachment 43 is attached to the lower end of the arm 42, and a chuck device 44 is attached to the attachment 43. It is attached so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis. As shown in enlarged views in FIGS. 4 and 5, the chuck device 44 is provided so as to be pressed against and supported by the winding end surface packing material, and to protrude through the support member 46. Open / close claw 47 which is inserted into the protective material at the winding core end in the closed state and can be hooked by opening, and claw opening / closing means for opening / closing the open / close claw 47 ( For example, an air chuck) 48 and the like are provided, and a support member 46 is held by the claw opening / closing means 48. Further, the chuck device 44 is fixedly attached to shafts 50a and 50b rotatably held by a fixture 43 at a lower end of the arm 42 (see FIG. 2), A connecting means 52 for holding the claw opening / closing means 48 on the swivel base 51 is provided.
[0019]
The connecting means 52 includes a variable mechanism that allows the opening / closing claw to move following the movement of the winding core caused by the eccentric winding rotation. In this embodiment, as the variable mechanism, a deformable bellows-type cylinder [for example, a tire cylinder (trade name)] 53 provided with one side fixed to the swivel base 51 and the opposite surface of the bellows-type cylinder 53 are held. A support member 55 having a stopper surface 55a having a substantially conical shape (a shape that is inclined with respect to a central axis such as a cone or a spherical surface) and a stopper surface 55a of the support member 55 provided fixed to the swivel base 51. The guide member 56 is provided with a guide surface 56 a that engages with the support member 55, and the claw opening / closing means 48 is held by the support member 55.
[0020]
The bellows type cylinder 53 used here includes a bellows portion 53a for applying fluid pressure therein, and end plates 53b and 53c on both sides thereof. The bellows portion 53a is made of a deformable material such as rubber. It is made and can be expanded and contracted, and the angle of the end plate 53c with respect to the end plate 53b can be deformed. Thus, when a high pressure is applied to the bellows type cylinder 53, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper surface 55a of the support member 55 is strongly pressed against the guide surface 56a of the guide 56, and the support member 55 is fixed and moved in a predetermined position. However, if the pressure of the bellows type cylinder 53 is reduced, it becomes possible to slide between the stopper surface 55a and the guide surface 56a as shown in FIG. Therefore, when force in any direction, up, down, left, and right acts on the support member 55, the support member 55 can move in any direction, and the opening / closing claw 47 can also move. Here, the angle at which the end plate 53c can be deformed by the flexibility of the bellows portion 53a is considerably large. Therefore, the pivotable angle θ of the center line of the end plate 53c and the supporting member attached thereto and the opening / closing claw 47 is large. 30 degrees. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winding 1 is rotated in a state where the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted into the protective material 12 in the core of the winding 1, the protective material 12 moves due to the eccentricity of the winding core. Even so, the opening / closing claw 47 can follow the movement of the protective material 12 and move without trouble.
[0021]
4 and 6, the support member 46 has a contact surface 46a for lightly pressing the winding end surface on the front surface. The abutment surface 46a is provided with an inclination so as not to cause any trouble even if the support member 46 is inclined. Further, a step portion 46b is provided on the front surface side of the support member 46 and on the outer peripheral portion of the contact surface 46a, and a ring-shaped push member 60 is disposed at that position. The pushing member 60 is for removing the end surface packing material caught on the opening / closing claw 47, and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) guide rods are attached to the rear surface at a constant pitch in the circumferential direction. The guide rod 61 is slidably held in a hole provided in the support member 46 so as to be movable with respect to the support member 46. An air cylinder 62 is attached to the back surface of the support member 46, and the piston rod is connected to the push member 60. With this configuration, the push member 60 is reciprocated with respect to the support member 46. Here, as the movement range of the pressing member 60, as shown in FIG. 6A, from the position where the tip of the pressing member 60 is retracted behind the most distal end of the contact surface 46 a of the supporting member 46, FIG. As shown to (b), it is determined so that it can move to the position which can wipe off the end surface packing material caught on the opening-and-closing claw 47. In FIG. 6, the guide rod 61 and the air cylinder 62 are shown to be positioned up and down (away from each other by 180 °), but this is for easy understanding of the drawing and does not actually interfere with each other. It is arranged at a position that does not interfere with the swivel base 51 and the like behind the support member 46.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 6C, the support member 46 is provided with a sensor 64 that detects that the pressing member 60 has reached a preset position with respect to the support member 46. More specifically, a position at which one rear end of the guide rod 61 connected to the pressing member 60 is detected when the front end of the pressing member 60 reaches a position that substantially coincides with the most distal position of the support member 46. A sensor 64 is provided at (or a position where a detected member provided on the guide rod 61 is detected). With this configuration, the chuck device 44 is moved toward the winding 1 with the push member 60 positioned in front of the support member 46, and the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted into the protective member 12 of the winding 1. When this is done, the pushing member 60 is pushed and retracted by the winding end face, and the leading end of the pushing member 60 and the leading end of the supporting member 46 become substantially the same position as shown in FIG. When 46 is substantially in contact with the winding end surface and the opening / closing claw 47 is inserted to a predetermined position, the sensor 64 outputs a detection signal indicating completion of insertion. Therefore, the sensor 64 constitutes an opening / closing claw insertion detecting means for detecting that the opening / closing claw has been inserted to a predetermined position in the winding protection material and outputting a signal. The output signal of the sensor 64 is used to control the rodless cylinder 39 that moves the slider 38, as will be described later.
[0023]
2 and 4, a rotary actuator 70 is connected as a turning means for turning the chuck device 44 to the shaft 50 a held by the fixture 43 at the lower end of the arm 42, and the rotary actuator 70 attaches the bracket 71. It is connected to the fixture 43 via Further, a lever 72 is provided on the other shaft 50b, and the rotation is stopped by abutting against an impact absorbing stopper 73 attached to the fixture 43.
