Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an apparatus for dividing and palletizing ceramic substrates used in rectangular chip resistors, resistance networks, hybrid ICs, and the like.

Conventional structure and its problems Traditionally, ceramic substrates were divided and palletized manually by workers, so the daily production amount was limited, and many workers were required to handle mass production. This increases costs in terms of personnel expenses, etc., and it also has the disadvantage that irregularly shaped divisions may occur due to human error.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention aims to create a ceramic substrate that can be mass-produced at low cost by dividing a ceramic sheet substrate into arbitrary dimensions along pre-prepared slits using a machine, and packing them into pallets. The purpose is to provide a dividing and palletizing device.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the ceramic substrate dividing/palletizing apparatus of the present invention includes a supply section that supplies ceramic sheet substrates having slits for dividing at a constant pitch, and a supply section that rotates intermittently and A dividing roller having a plurality of dividing/conveying grooves on the upper side, a guide having a transfer slit below and close to the circumference of the dividing roller, and a divided ceramic substrate stored below the transfer slit. A pallet, a mechanism for moving this pallet,
The guide consists of a dividing table that receives the ceramic sheet substrate at the upper end of the guide, and a stopper that positions the ceramic sheet substrate and a presser lid above. Split roller splitting/
Place the ceramic sheet substrate into the conveying groove and rotate the dividing roller to divide the tip of the ceramic sheet substrate fixed between the presser lid and the dividing table along the slit, and convey the divided ceramic substrate along the guide and transfer the guide. It is configured to be stored in a pallet through the slits, and this configuration reduces the number of odd-shaped divisions and improves mass productivity.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Examples of the configuration of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a ceramic sheet substrate 2 having a slit 1 formed in advance is
A supply unit including a feed roller 3 and a presser roller 4 supplies the material to the stopper 5 and positions it.

The tip of the ceramic sheet substrate 2 that has been supplied and positioned up to the stopper 5 is fitted into one dividing/conveying groove 6 of the dividing roller 7, and the dividing roller 7, which has a plurality of dividing/conveying grooves 6, rotates intermittently. As a result, the leading end of the ceramic sheet substrate 2 fitted into the dividing/conveying groove 6 receives force due to the rotational force of the dividing roller 7 and the fixed holding by the dividing table 8 and presser lid 9, and the end portion of the ceramic sheet substrate 2 is pushed into the slit 1. It is divided into individual ceramic substrates 2a along the line.

The divided ceramic substrate 2a is held in the dividing/conveying groove 6 of the dividing roller 7 along a guide 10 having an arcuate surface arranged in the outer circumferential direction of the dividing roller 7, and transferred to a transfer slit 1 provided in the guide 10.
1, is pressed by a push lever 12, and is inserted through a transfer slit 11 into a pallet 13 having a plurality of grooves.

Each time a ceramic substrate 2a is inserted, the pallet 13 is driven one pitch at a time by a pinion 14, and a predetermined number of ceramic substrates 2a are packed into the pallet 13.

As an example, the shape of the dividing/conveying groove 6 of the dividing roller 7 is as shown in FIG.
Although the divided roller 7 with the conveyance groove 6 is shown, the third
As shown in Figures 4 and 4, there are various types of ceramic sheet substrates with chamfered opening ends so that the tip of the ceramic sheet substrate 2 can easily fit into them, and those with the dividing/conveying groove 6 itself shaped so that the opening end is widened. A divided roller 7 having the same shape can be easily considered.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, unmanned work is possible, significant cost reductions are achieved, and not only irregularly shaped splits are reduced, but homogeneous split surfaces can be obtained. It has the advantage of being able to improve the dimensional accuracy of ceramic parts, and is of great industrial value.
