Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is formed by winding the metal foil into an appropriate width and length from a wide coil wrapped with rolled metal foil onto an appropriate number of cores inserted into an air shaft. The present invention relates to a device that automatically extracts an air shaft from a split winding coil and then automatically inserts a softening rod necessary for heat treating each split winding coil.

Conventionally, in order to heat-treat the metal foil of a wide coil wrapped with rolled metal foil, the metal foil is unwound from the wide coil, cut into small widths according to the split cores, and then wound to an appropriate length. In this case, prepare as many cores with a length equal to the dividing width as the number of divided metal foils, arrange these cores in a row, insert an air shaft into the cores, and then send rolling air to the air shaft to move the air shaft to the core row. The metal foil was then fitted onto the core, and the air shaft was rotated to wrap the divided metal foil around each core. To heat-treat the metal foil that has been divided into coils and wound around each core, the air shaft is removed from the core of the metal foil, and a metal rod called a softening rod is used instead of the air shaft. was inserted into the core.

Conventionally, the air shaft was automatically extracted from the metal foil coil that was divided and wound around each core as described above, and the softening rod was automatically inserted into the extracted metal foil coil to save labor. An attempt was made to measure it. However, in the conventional method, the thickness of the metal foil is as thin as 7 to 30 microns, and strict accuracy is required to align the axis of the air shaft extraction member that extracts the air shaft with the axis of the air shaft. Sometimes, when the air shaft is pulled out, the air shaft becomes twisted and pulls the core, causing the metal foil coil to follow the core and expand, causing the air shaft to be automatically pulled out from the core. was difficult. Therefore, conventionally, the air shaft was extracted manually from the split coil. Further, after the air shaft has been extracted, the softening rods have been manually inserted into the split coils.

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a device that can automatically extract an air shaft from a split coil and insert a softening rod into the split coil, thereby saving labor and shortening working time. .

A pair of V-shaped correction rollers 179 are mounted on a shaft to prevent lateral wobbling.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The metal foil m1, m2 of the metal foil coil 9 which has been rolled into a wide width and wound around the large coil 8 is transferred to the air shaft 1, 1 with the core 5 supported on the pedestals 7, 7A of the split winder 6 as in the conventional case. It is wound up into divided coils 10, 10A.

The transfer device 23 in its original position above the lift traverser 11 on the ceiling rail 22 is
A switch (not shown) that operates this device 23
When turned on, the overhead carriage 24 moves above the divided winder 6, which is the rearward end, and stops. At this time, the lift frame 30 located at the position indicated by B (second from the left) in FIG. The frame 30 is located above the split coil 10A. At the same time as the transfer device 23 stops, the air cylinders 35 of the two lift frames 30, 30 are activated to lower the rods 35a, thereby lowering the lift frames 30, 30 (see FIG. 4). Note that the clamp arms 39, 39 on both sides of the clamp devices 31, 31 on both sides of the lift frame 30 are in an open state when the lift frame 30 is lowered. When the lift frame 30 reaches the lower end, the clamp cylinder 34 is actuated by an electric signal from a limit switch (not shown), and the clamp arms 39 on both sides close to grip the plugs 3 on both sides of the air shaft 1.

As the air cylinder 35 is activated upon completion of clamping of the clamp arms 39, 39, the lift frame 30, which grips the air shaft 1 of each divided coil 10 and 10A, rises. In this way, the second and fourth lift frames 3 from the left
0 reaches the rising end, the ceiling carriage 24 moves in its traveling direction by 1/2 of the interval p between the pedestals 7 and 7A of the split winder 6 (at this time, the ceiling carriage 24 is in the position shown in Fig. 2). be.). At the same time, the lifting air cylinders 35 of the lift frame 30 located at the A position (first position) and C position (third position) in FIG. 2 are operated to lower the lift frame 30.

Here, since the ceiling truck 24 has moved by 1/2 pitch p, the first lift frame 30 is located above the support 7 of the split winder 6, and the third lift frame 30 is positioned above the support 7 of the split winder 6. The clamping devices 31 of the two lift frames 30, 30 are located above the support 7A of the taker 6 and grip the cored air shaft 1 for reasons described later. Therefore, when the first and third lift frames 30, 30 descend and reach the lower end, the clamp cylinders 34 on both sides of each lift frame 30, 30 are activated by an electric signal from a limit switch (not shown). It operates and clamp arm 3
9, 39, so the clamp devices 3 on both sides
The air shafts 1 and 1 with the cores 5 held by the cores 1 and 31 are supplied onto the pedestals 7 and 7A of the split winder 6.

In this way, the cradle 7, 7A of the split winder 6
When the air shaft 1 is supplied to each of
Raise to the rising end position.

When the first and third lift frames 30 rise, the ceiling truck 24 moves forward and stops when it reaches its original position above the lift traverser 11 at the rearward end. When the ceiling truck 24 stops, the lifting air cylinder 35 operates the second and fourth lift frames 30 that grip the split coils 10 and 10A, and lowers both lift frames 30.
Then, the rod 35 of each lifting air cylinder 35
When a reaches its stroke end, the lift frame 30 stops. At this time, the split coil 10 supported by the pair of clamp devices 31, 31 of the second lift frame 30 is attached to the lift traverser 1.
The split coil 10A, which is located slightly above the V-shaped pedestal 21 of the first support stand 16 and supported by the pair of clamp devices 31, 31 of the fourth lift frame 30, is located slightly above the V-shaped pedestal 21 of the first support stand 16 of the fourth lift frame 30. V-shaped pedestal 21
It is located slightly above A.

As mentioned above, when the second and fourth lift frames 30 and 30 stop, the lift traverser 1
Each link 18 of the link mechanism 17 of the first support stand 16 and the link mechanism 17A of the second support stand 16A,
The cylinders that change the intersecting angle θ of 19 are operated to raise the first support 16 and the second support 16A. As a result, the upper surfaces of the V-shaped pedestal 21 of the first support 16 and the V-shaped pedestal 21A of the second support 16A come into contact with the lower surfaces of the split coils 10 and 10A, raising both the split coils 10 and 10A. .

First, to explain the first support stand 16, when the split coil 10 is raised by the V-shaped support stand 21, the air gripped by the clamp arms 39, 39 of the clamp devices 31 on both sides of the second lift frame 30 The plugs 3, 3 on both sides of the shaft 1 are also simultaneously pushed up against the gripping forces of the respective clamp arms 39, 39. In this way, when the air shaft 1 is pushed up and one of the plugs 3 pushes up the dock 50, the dock 50 activates the proximity switch 46. In this case, when the proximity switch 46 operates, the cylinder of the link mechanism 17 that pushes up the first support base 16 stops operating.
When the first support base 16 stops rising, the clamp cylinder 34 operates in the opposite direction to open the clamp arms 39, 39, so that the air shaft 1 is released from the clamp devices 31 on both sides.

Similarly, the V-shaped cradle 21 of the second support pedestal 16A
As the rise of A stops, this V-shaped pedestal 21A
The air shaft 1 of the split coil 10A supported by the split coil 10A is also released from the clamp devices 31 on both sides of the third lift frame 30.

As mentioned above, the V-shaped pedestal 21 (or V-shaped pedestal 2
When the air shaft 1 pushed up by 1A) operates the proximity switch 46, the first support base 1
6 (or the second support stand 16A) stops rising, regardless of the winding size of the split coil 10.
The air shaft 1 stops at a constant height.

And the second support base 1 of the lift traverser 11
Split coil 10A on 6A V-shaped pedestal 21A
There are a pusher device 52 and an air shaft attachment/detachment device 53 on both sides. When the air shaft 1 of the split coil 10A is released from the clamp device 31, the air inside the air shaft 1 is extracted by the operator, so that the air shaft 1 is separated from the split coil 10.
It is loosely fitted into each core 5 of A. At this time, when the pusher device 52 is operated, the push rod 56 is pushed out from the pusher cylinder 55, pushing out the air shaft 1 in the split coil 10A by a predetermined length.

On the other hand, in the pinching roller drive device 60 of the air shaft attachment/detachment device 53, the distance between the first pinching roller 86 and the second pinching roller 86A is adjusted by a roller opening/closing cylinder 92.
Both pinching rollers 86, 86A are in a state where they can tighten the air shaft 1, and at the same time as the pusher device 52 is activated, the roller drive motor 81 of the pinching roller drive device 61 is activated. For this reason, both pinching rollers 86 and 8
6A rotates, and the air shaft 1 pushed out from the split coil 10A by the pusher device 52 is transferred to the roller support 9 of the air shaft support device 59.
6 into the cores 5-5 supported on the support rollers 97-97. Here, the cores 5 to 5 are placed on support rollers 97 to 97 by a lift frame 107 pushed up by a lift cylinder 108 before the air shaft 1 is pushed in. As described above, when the air shaft 1 is pushed into the cores 5 to 5 by the pinching roller drive device 60, the cores 5 to 5 move together with the air shaft 1, and the other end of the core 5 moves to the stopper 1.
29 and stops. Also, at this time, the other end of the air shaft 1 approaches the proximity switch 185 and turns on the proximity switch 185, so the roller drive motor 81 of the pinching roller drive device 60 is stopped and the air shaft 1 with the core 5 is moved. It is supported on support rollers 97-97. When the roller drive motor 81 stops, the first and second pinch rollers 86 and 86A open, and the air shaft 1 with the core 5 is lifted from the support rollers 97 to 97 by a lifting device (not shown).

When the air shaft 1 is extracted from the split coil 10A, the traverser 11 is moved to its V-shaped pedestal 21.
and 21A, the divided coil 10A of the V-shaped pedestal 21A reaches a position facing the softening rod insertion device 131. This softening rod insertion device 131 operates the drive motor 169 to move the second support member 153 so that the positions of the pusher plate 147 and the pusher rod 148 of the softening rod extrusion device 132 are adjusted to the split coil 1.
It is set at an appropriate position to push out the softening rod 130 inserted into 0A.

Then, the drive motor 1 of the softening rod extrusion device 132
51 is activated and the screw member 138 rotates, the nut member 143 moves to the right in FIG. Plate 147 moves in the same direction. As a result, the hanging plate support plate 1 of the softening rod extrusion device 132
The softening rod 130 placed on the V-shaped rollers 176-176 of 74 is pushed against the pusher rod 148 at the lower end of the pusher plate 147. At this time, the V-shaped rollers 176 to 176 rotate, and the correction roller 17
9, 179 corrects the direction of the softening rod 130 so that the softening rod 130 can be accurately inserted into the cores 5 to 5 of the split coil 10A.

And the push rod 148 is the softening rod 130
When the split coil 10A is pushed to a predetermined position, the dog 180 attached to the pusher plate 147 activates the forward end limit switch 181 attached to the hanging arm 173 to stop the drive motor 151. Next, when the drive motor 151 is reversed, the screw member 138 rotates in the opposite direction to that when the softening rod 130 is pushed in, and the sliding member 1
Pull back 46. And Pushya plate 14
The dog 180 of No. 7 actuates a retreat end limit switch 182 attached to the suspension arm 172 to stop the drive motor 151.

When the insertion of the softening rod 130 into the split coil 10A is completed, the lift traverser 11 moves to the pitch p.
Move 1/2 of the V-shaped cradle 21 of the first support pedestal 16.
Since the split coil 10 supported by the split coil 10 reaches a position facing the air shaft attachment/detachment device 53, the air shaft 1 is extracted from the split coil 10 in the same manner as in the case of the split coil 10A.

When the extraction of the air shaft 1 from the split coil 10 is completed, the lift traverser 11 further moves 1/
Since it moves two pitches, the split coil 10 reaches a position facing the softening rod insertion device 131. Therefore, at this position, the softening rod 1 with respect to the split coil 10
30 is inserted in the same manner as in the case of the split coil 10A.

Then, the split coil 10 is inserted into the softening rod insertion device 13.

When the insertion of the softening rod 130 into the split coil 10 is completed, the lift traverser 11 moves one pitch p.
As the split coil 10 advances and reaches the lower part of the crane, this split coil 10 is also transported by the crane.

As described above, when both the V-shaped pedestals 21 and 21A of the lift traverser 11 become empty, the lift traverser 11 moves in the opposite direction to the first position.
The V-shaped cradle 21 of the support base 16 reaches a position facing the air shaft attachment/detachment device 52 and stops. At this time, the air shaft 1 fitted in the three cores 5 is placed on each support roller 97 of the air shaft support device 59, and the first pinch roller 86 of the pinch roller drive device 60 and The second pinching roller 86A is the air shaft 1 with the core 5 by the action of the roller opening/closing cylinder 92.
It is in an open state from the tightened position.

Then, when the lift traverser 11 stops, the drive motor 125 of the air shaft extrusion device 61 starts operating and rotates the screw member 116, so that the nut member 119 and the sliding member 122 to which the nut member 119 is attached are rotated. 7, the pusher plate 127 and pusher rod 128 attached to the sliding member 122 are moved to the left in the same direction, and the cored air shaft on the support rollers 97 to 97 of the air shaft support device 59 is moved to the left. 1 is pushed out and positioned on the V-shaped pedestal 21 of the first support 16 of the traverser 11. Then, when the drive motor 125 reverses and the push rod 128 returns to its original position, the air shaft 1 with the core 5, which had been lifted by a lifting device (not shown), moves onto the support rollers 97, 97.
