  The present invention provides a pair of supports that place and support both ends of a rod-shaped body that is located on the axial center of the roll body and protrudes on both sides in the axial direction so that the roll body is in a horizontal orientation. The present invention relates to a roll body pallet that is supported by a pallet body, and a roll body processing facility provided with the roll body pallet.

Such a pallet for roll bodies is used when, for example, a roll body configured by winding a sheet material such as a printing base paper or a film raw fabric on a rod-like body is conveyed by a conveyor or an automatic conveyance vehicle. Yes, the roll body is supported in a horizontal direction by placing and supporting both ends of the rod-like body positioned at the center of the roll body with a pair of support portions. Incidentally, both end portions of the rod-shaped body protrude from the wound sheet material at both ends of the rod-shaped body, and a pair of supports support the projecting both ends.
And in such a pallet for roll bodies, a pair of support body was conventionally supported by the pallet main body in the position fixed state (for example, refer patent document 1).

JP 2008-254866 A

In the above-described conventional roll body pallet, since a pair of supports are supported in a fixed state on the pallet body, a plurality of types of roll bodies having different lengths and thicknesses of rod-like bodies and widths of sheet materials are appropriately used. It was something that could not be supported.
More specifically, since the distance between both ends of the rod-shaped body supported by the pair of support bodies varies depending on the length of the rod-shaped body and the width of the sheet material, the pair of support bodies are fixed to the pallet body in a fixed state. The supported pallet for roll bodies cannot support a plurality of types of roll bodies having different rod-like body lengths or sheet material widths.
In addition, since the length from the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped body to the axial center differs when the thickness of the rod-shaped body is different, a pair of supports is supported in a pallet for a roll body in which the pair of supports are supported in a fixed position on the pallet body Since the height of the axial center of the rod-shaped body supported by the body varies depending on the thickness of the rod-shaped body, a plurality of types of roll bodies in which the thickness of the rod-shaped body is different so that the height of the axial center of the rod-shaped body is constant Can not support.
By the way, for example, an apparatus such as a printing apparatus that performs printing or coating on a sheet material inserts a support pin from a central axis direction into a hollow rod-like body formed in a cylindrical shape. When the roll body is configured to receive the roll body from the pallet for roll bodies, if the height of the axis of the rod-shaped body is the same as the height of the axis of the support pin, the support pin is a hollow rod-shaped body. The roll body can be smoothly transferred to the apparatus by being inserted into the end of the apparatus.

Therefore, in order to appropriately support a plurality of types of roll bodies having different lengths and thicknesses of rod-shaped bodies and sheet material widths, a pair of support bodies are supported on the pallet body so that the positions of the pallet bodies can be changed. The roll body pallet includes a position adjusting mechanism that changes and adjusts the position of the pair of supports with respect to the pallet body, and a driving unit that operates the position adjusting mechanism, and the position adjusting mechanism is operated by the driving unit. It is conceivable that the position of the support is changed and adjusted so that the interval and height of the pair of supports can be changed and adjusted to a position corresponding to the type of the roll body on which the support is placed and supported. However, if the roll body pallet is configured in this way, it is necessary to provide each of the roll body pallets with a driving means, which increases the cost of the roll body pallet.
In addition, the roll pallet used in the area where the printing device for printing and coating on the sheet material is provided may need to be explosion-proof, and the roll pallet is equipped with explosion-proof drive means. In this case, the cost of the roll body pallet is further increased.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object thereof is a pallet for roll bodies that can be configured at low cost while being able to appropriately support a plurality of types of roll bodies, and its It is in the point which provides the roll body processing facility provided with the pallet for roll bodies.

By changing and adjusting the height of the body according to the thickness of the rod-shaped body, multiple types of roll bodies with different rod-shaped body thicknesses are supported so that the axial center height of the rod-shaped body is constant. The pair of supports can be changed and adjusted to a position corresponding to the type of the roll body, and a plurality of types of roll bodies can be appropriately supported.
Further, since the operated part is driven by the external driving means, it is not necessary to provide driving means for moving the operated part on the roll body pallet. The pallet for roll bodies which can be supported appropriately can be constructed at low cost.
Accordingly, it has been possible to provide a roll body pallet that can be configured at low cost while appropriately supporting a plurality of types of roll bodies.

Further , when the operated portion is driven by the external operation means, the position adjusting mechanism is activated and one or both of the pair of support bodies move along the alignment direction with respect to the pallet body. You can change and adjust the body spacing. Therefore, the interval between the pair of support bodies can be changed and adjusted to an interval according to the length of the rod-shaped body, and a plurality of types of roll bodies with different lengths of the rod-shaped bodies can be supported by the pair of support bodies. it can.
Therefore, the pallet for roll bodies which can support the multiple types of roll bodies from which the length of a rod-shaped body differs etc. can be provided now.

That is, since the pair of moving support bodies that support the pair of support bodies so as to be movable up and down are supported by the pallet main body so as to be movable in the direction in which the pair of support bodies are arranged, one or both of the pair of movement support bodies is supported. By moving the pallet main body in the alignment direction, the distance between the pair of supports can be changed and adjusted. Further, the height of the pair of supports can be changed and adjusted by moving the pair of supports up and down relative to the movable support.
Since one or both of the pair of moving supports can move along the alignment direction with respect to the pallet main body and change and adjust the distance between the pair of supports, the distance between the pair of supports can be When the length or the sheet material is wound, the distance can be changed and adjusted according to the width of the sheet material. Therefore, it is possible to support a plurality of types of roll bodies having different lengths or the like of the rod-shaped bodies with a pair of support bodies.
Further, when the operated portion is moved by the external operation means and the position adjusting mechanism is activated, the pair of supports are moved up and down relative to the movable support to change and adjust the height of the pair of supports. Therefore, the height of the pair of support bodies can be changed and adjusted to a height corresponding to the thickness of the rod-shaped body. Therefore, it is possible to support a plurality of types of roll bodies having different bar-shaped body thicknesses with a pair of supports so that the height of the axis of the bar-shaped body is constant.

For example, if the pair of moving supports are supported on the pallet main body so as to be movable up and down, and the pair of supports are supported so as to be movable in the arrangement direction, the pair of moving supports are arranged in a pair. Since the pair of moving support bodies are large in the arrangement direction because they need to be supported so as to be movable in the direction, the pair of movement support bodies that support the pair of support bodies so as to be movable up and down can be moved in the arrangement direction. By being configured to be supported by the main body, the size of the pair of moving support bodies in the arrangement direction can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the pallet for roll bodies that can support a plurality of types of roll bodies having different lengths and thicknesses.
