Description

  The present invention relates to a slit coil separation facility and a separation method for separating a slit coil formed by cutting a coil around a metal band such as a steel band into a plurality of strips in the width direction.

  A metal strip coil such as a wide steel strip is cut (slit) into a plurality of strips in the width direction in accordance with the subsequent product to form a narrow slit coil. The slit coil is not loosened during the handling process or is not wound, causing damage to the coil or inconvenience in handling. Immediately after the slit, the slit coil is directed toward the outer circumference (vertical banding) and from the inner circumference to the outer circumference. The band is fixed in the radial direction (horizontal band).

  When applying the above horizontal band, it is necessary to separate the slit coil. Conventionally, this separation work is manually performed by an operator using a crane. However, since the metal strip coil is large and heavy, it is dangerous and disadvantageous in that work efficiency is poor.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses an apparatus for separating such a slit coil without using an operator. This device is safe because it does not involve an operator, but it must grip and move the slit coils one by one, and it performs a series of operations such as positioning and gripping coils for each slit coil. take time. In addition, a mechanism for grasping and moving the slit coil is required, and the equipment becomes large. Furthermore, since the separated slit coils are gripped and transported one by one using a crane, the transporting operation takes time.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a slit coil separation facility according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing a support slider of the slit coil separation facility of FIG. The slit coil separating equipment 100 includes a slit coil separating device 20 that separates slit coils, and a transport mechanism 30 that transports the slit coil 1 that functions as a support means for the slit coil 1 when the slit coil 1 is separated by the separating device 20. And have. The slit coil separation device 20 includes a base member 3 into which the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 before separation is inserted, a main body 4 that holds the base member 3, and a base 5 that supports the main body 4. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, a guide rail 6 is provided on the upper surface of the base member 3 along the longitudinal direction (insertion direction). Six support sliders (support members) 7 a, 7 b, 7 c, 7 d, 7 e, 7 f are provided so as to be slidable along the longitudinal direction of the base member 3. The support sliders 7a to 7f are connected to each other by a wire 8, and the support sliders 7a to 7f are constrained to each other by the wire 8 when the adjacent sliders are separated by a predetermined length. . As shown in the drawing, the wire 8 is in a slack state in an initial state in which the support sliders 7a to 7f are integrally disposed and are not separated from each other. Further, the upper surfaces of the support sliders 7 a to 7 f are curved according to the curvature of the central space 2 of the slit coil 1.

  A ball screw 9 extending in the horizontal direction is screwed to the support slider 7 a provided at the tip, and a motor 10 for rotating the ball screw 9 is attached to the base member 3. The other support sliders 7b to 7f are formed with holes through which the ball screw 9 can be inserted when the support slider 7a is driven by the motor 10 and moved in the distal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, the transport mechanism 30 includes horizontal frames 11a and 11b that are inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 before separation and lift the slit coil 1 up. . The horizontal frames 11a and 11b are a pair of bar-like members provided so as to be horizontally opposed so as to be positioned on both sides of the support sliders 7a to 7f when inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1. Therefore, the slit coil 1 can be supported without interfering with the support sliders 7a to 7f.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the support sliders 7b to 7f (only 7b to 7d are shown) have the filling members 12b to 12f in the horizontal direction so as to be accommodated in the support sliders 7a to 7e, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4B, these filling members 12b to 12f fill the space between the support sliders 7a to 7f and support the slit coil 1 as shown in FIG. Thus, the slit coil 1 is prevented from rolling when separated into coil pieces.

Next, operation | movement of the slit coil separation equipment 100 comprised in this way is demonstrated with reference to the flowchart of FIG. (A1) to (c1) in FIG. 6 are side views of the slit coil separation facility 100, and (a2) to (c2) in FIG. 6 correspond to (a1) to (c1) in FIG. It is -A sectional drawing.
First, as shown in (a1) and (a2) of FIG. 6, this slit is formed by a transport mechanism 30 in which horizontal frames 11a and 11b are inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 before separation in a state where a vertical band is applied. The coil 1 is conveyed to the base member 3 (process 1). Next, as shown in FIGS. 6B1 and 6B2, the horizontal frames 11a and 11b are supported by the transport mechanism 30 so that the horizontal frames 11a and 11b and the support sliders 7a to 7f do not interfere with each other. The base member 3 is inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 through the side surfaces 7a to 7f (step 2). Next, as shown in (c1) and (c2) of FIG. 6, the transport mechanism 30 is lowered and the slit coil 1 is supported by the support members 7a to 7f (step 3). At this time, the horizontal frames 11 a and 11 b are in a standby state in the central space 2.

  From this state, the support sliders 7a to 7f are separated from each other, and accordingly, the slit coil 1 is separated into coil pieces a, b, c, d, and e (step 4). The procedure of this separation work will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, the ball screw 9 is rotated by the motor 10, and the leading support slider 7 a is moved along the guide rail 6. Along with this, the leading coil piece a, which is mainly on the support slider 7a in the slit coil 1, moves as the support slider 7a moves, and is separated from the adjacent coil piece b (FIG. 7). (A)). When the support slider 7a further moves and is separated from the support slider 7b by a predetermined length, the wire 8 between the support sliders 7a and 7b is stretched, and the support slider 7b also starts to move. In this way, the support sliders 7c, 7d,... Move sequentially in the same manner, and the other coil pieces b, c, d,... Were mainly weighted among the support sliders 7b, 7c,. As shown in FIG. 7C, the coil is separated into five coil pieces a, b, c, d and e through the state shown in FIG. 7B.

  After the slit coil 1 is thus separated into the coil pieces a, b, c, d, and e, these coil pieces are laterally banded and bound (step 5). In this case, it is preferable to use a device for automatically winding and binding a band (wire or the like), but it may be performed manually by the operator.

  Thereafter, the support sliders 7a to 7f are returned to the state before separation (step 6). In this state, the transport mechanism 30 waiting in the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 is raised to support the separated slit coil 1 on the horizontal frames 11a and 11b (step 7). Next, the slit coil 1 is lifted using the transport mechanism 30, and the slit coil 1 is extracted from the base member 3 and transported to the next process (process 8).

  The restraining mechanism may be as shown in FIG. In this restraining mechanism, connecting arms 13a to 13f and connecting pins 14a to 14f are added as connecting mechanisms to the side surfaces of the support sliders 7a to 7f, respectively. The connection pins 13a to 13f can be engaged with the connection pins 14a to 14f, respectively, and the retracted positions separated from the connection pins 14a to 14f shown in FIG. 9A and the connection shown in FIG. 9B. It can be rotated between the connecting positions engaged with the pins 14a to 14f. The connecting sliders of the supporting sliders 7a to 7f are connected to each other in a state where the connecting arms of the adjacent supporting sliders are engaged with the connecting pins, and the connected supporting sliders can move integrally. . In addition, about the state of the wire 8, like the case where the connection mechanism is not added to the restraint mechanism, the support sliders 7a to 7f are restrained from each other by the wire 8 when the adjacent sliders are separated by a predetermined length. It is in a sagging state.

  In this case, first, depending on the width of the coil piece to be separated, among the adjacent ones of the support sliders 7a to 7f that need to be connected, the corresponding one of the connecting arms 13a to 13f is connected to the connecting pins 14a to 14f. Is engaged with the corresponding one. Specifically, when the width of the coil piece to be separated is the width of two support sliders, as shown in FIG. 10A, the connection arm 13a is engaged with the connection pin 14b and the support slider 7a is engaged. 7b is integrally connected. Similarly, the support sliders 7c and 7d and 7e and 7f are integrally connected. Next, the base member 3 is inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 using the transport mechanism 30, and the slit coil 1 is supported by the support sliders 7a to 7f. Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the transport mechanism 30 is lowered and the slit coil 1 is supported by the support members 7a to 7f.

  From this state, the set of support sliders 7a and 7b integrally connected, the set of 7c and 7d, and the set of 7e and 7f are separated from each other, and accordingly the slit coil 1 is connected to the coil pieces f, g, h. To separate. That is, the ball screw 9 is rotated, and first, the pair of leading support sliders 7a and 7b is moved to separate the coil piece f riding on them ((b) in FIG. 10). Then, by further rotating the ball screw 9, the set of 7c and 7d and the set of 7e and 7f are sequentially moved to separate the coil pieces f, g and h ((c) of FIG. 10).

  Even in this case, rolling can be prevented by using the filling members 12b to 12f for the support slider.

  By adding the coupling mechanism to the restraint mechanism in this way, the drive slider 7a located at the tip is driven, and the other support sliders 7a and 7b, 7c and 7d, 7e and 7f, Since the coil pieces f to h of the slit coil 1 are separated in accordance with the predetermined distance, the pair of slits 1 need not be separated from each other as in the above procedure. The slit coil can be separated more efficiently and quickly than when no coupling mechanism is added.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the frame of the transport mechanism of the slit coil separation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention supports the slit coil, and FIG. 12 is an enlarged perspective view showing the support slider of the slit coil separation device. 13 and 13 are sectional views of the supporting slider. In this embodiment, the frame shapes of the support sliders 7a to 7f and the transport mechanism 30 are different from those of the first embodiment. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the transport mechanism 30 includes a rod-like frame 15 that is inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 before separation and lifts the slit coil 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the support sliders 7a to 7f have a recess 16 into which the rod-like frame 15 of the transport mechanism 30 can be inserted. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 13, reinforcing members 17 for reinforcing side surfaces are provided at the inner corners of the recesses 16 of the support sliders 7 a to 7 f. Further, the upper surface portion 18 has a curve that matches the curvature of the central space 2 of the slit coil 1.

  Since the recess 16 into which the rod-like frame 15 can be inserted is thus provided inside the support sliders 7a to 7f, the support sliders 7a to 7f are inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 supported by the rod-like frame 15. The slit coil 1 can be supported without interfering with each other.

Next, the operation of the slit coil separation facility of the second embodiment will be described.
First, as shown in (a1) and (a2) of FIG. 14, the slit coil 1 is formed by a transport mechanism 30 in which a rod-shaped frame 15 is inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 before separation in a state where a vertical band is applied. Is conveyed to the base member 3. Next, as shown in (b1) and (b2) of FIG. 14, the rod-shaped frame 15 is removed from the recess 16 using the transport mechanism 30 so that the rod-shaped frame 15 and the recesses 16 of the support sliders 7a to 7f do not interfere with each other. The base member 3 is inserted into the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 by passing through. Next, as shown in FIGS. 14C1 and 14C2, the transport mechanism 30 is lowered and the slit coil 1 is supported by the support members 7a to 7f. The rod-shaped frame 15 at this time is in a standby state in the recess 16.

  From this state, similarly to the procedure of the first embodiment, the support sliders 7a to 7f are separated from each other, and accordingly, the slit coil 1 is separated into coil pieces a, b, c, d, and e. Put a horizontal band on the piece and bind. Thereafter, the support sliders 7a to 7f are returned to the state before separation, and in this state, the slit coil 1 is supported on the rod-shaped frame 15 of the transport mechanism 30, the slit coil 1 is lifted, and the central space 2 of the slit coil 1 is made a base member. 3 is extracted and conveyed to the next step.

  In this embodiment, rolling can be prevented by using a filling member for the support slider, and the slit coil can be separated more efficiently and quickly by using a coupling mechanism for the support slider. it can.

  According to the first and second embodiments, the movement of the support sliders 7a to 7f allows the slit coil 1 to be separated without intervention of an operator, and is safe, and at least one of the support sliders 7a to 7f. The other support sliders 7a to 7f are sequentially moved at a predetermined distance and the coil pieces a to e are separated accordingly, so that the slit coils can be separated efficiently and quickly. . Further, since the slit coil 1 can be separated only by driving the support sliders 7a to 7f, a large-scale mechanism is unnecessary and a compact configuration can be achieved. Furthermore, since the slit coil 1 before separation can be transferred to the support sliders 7a to 7f while being lifted by the horizontal frames 11a and 11b of the transport mechanism 30, separation work can be performed. And then retracting the transport mechanism 30 from the slit coil 1 and removing the separation device 20 from the slit coil 1 and then inserting the horizontal frames 11a and 11b and lifting the separated slit coil 1 to transport it Can be omitted. For this reason, the time of the separation process of the slit coil can be shortened.

  The present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above embodiment. For example, in this embodiment, the slit coil is separated using the transport mechanism as the support means, but it is not always necessary to use the transport mechanism, and the slit coil can be supported in a state of being lifted by a horizontal frame, and at least It is sufficient that the horizontal frame can move up and down. Further, the support slider and the frame of the transport mechanism are not limited to the above shapes as long as they can support the slit coil without interfering with the support slider when inserted into the central space of the slit coil. Furthermore, as a restraining mechanism for restraining adjacent ones of support sliders as support members in a state where they are separated from each other, a wire connecting adjacent support sliders is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a chain or other thread-like element is used. May be used. Furthermore, although the reinforcing material is provided at the inner corner of the support slider, this reinforcing material is not necessarily required if the strength of the side surface is sufficient to support the support slider.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the connecting portions 21 are provided so as to protrude from the support sliders 7 b to 7 f, respectively, and the connecting portions 21 are inserted into the support sliders 7 a to 7 e, respectively, and the connecting portions 21. When the support sliders 7a to 7f are integrally provided without being separated from each other, as shown in FIG. 15A, the connecting portion 21 is hollow. When one of the adjacent support sliders is separated by a predetermined length as shown in FIG. 15B, the tip of the corresponding connecting portion 21 is locked to the locking portion 23. You may do it. In this case, the connecting portion 21 can also function as the above-described filling portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the support sliders 7b to 7f are provided with notches 24, and when the support sliders adjacent to each other are separated by a predetermined length, the engaging portions 26 at both ends of the connecting pin 25 are connected to each other. You may make it latch on each notch part 24 of these adjacent support sliders.

  Furthermore, although the ball screw mechanism is used as the mechanism for driving the support slider in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and other drive mechanisms such as a belt drive mechanism and a chain drive mechanism may be used. The tip of the support slider to be driven is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one support slider may be driven.

  Furthermore, in FIG. 7 which is the first embodiment, when all the coil pieces of the slit coil are separated, the support slider is also shown to be separated from each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, when the coil piece is evenly riding on two support sliders, the two support sliders may not be opened (support). In some cases, the sliders 7c and 7d and the coil piece c) and the support sliders adjacent to each other may not be completely separated from each other.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 10, the support slider is connected so that the width of the support slider matches the width of the coil piece. For example, the support sliders 7c and 7d in which the weight of the coil piece g is mainly connected integrally. Since the coil piece g can be separated from the coil piece h, it is not always necessary to accurately match the width of the support slider and the width of the coil piece.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the coil pieces f, g, h are put on the set of the support sliders 7a and 7b integrally connected, the set of 7c and 7d, and the set of 7e and 7f, respectively. Although an example of separation is shown, the number of support sliders to be connected may be appropriately changed according to the width of the coil piece. For example, when the width of the coil piece f corresponds to three of the support sliders 7a to 7c, the support sliders 7a to 7c may be connected by a connection mechanism.

  Furthermore, even when the widths of the coil pieces to be separated are different from each other, the coil pieces can be separated by appropriately changing the number of support sliders to be connected according to the width of the coil pieces. For example, when the width of the coil piece f corresponds to one of the support sliders 7a, the width of the coil piece g corresponds to two of the support sliders 7b and 7c, and the width of the coil piece h corresponds to three of the support sliders 7d to 7f. The support slider 7a is not connected, and the support sliders 7b and 7c and the support sliders 7d to 7f may be connected by a connection mechanism.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the support slider that slides in the shape of the guide rail is used as the support member. However, as long as the support slider can move in the separation direction of the slit coil, not only the slider but also other movement modes that run on wheels or the like are used. It may be.
