2. Description of the Related Art When a particularly thin steel strip is wound by a steel strip winding machine, when the inner winding portion of the steel strip wound around a drum shaft having an expansion / contraction mechanism is damaged by the expansion / contraction part or is pulled out from the drum shaft. In addition, there is a problem that the inner diameter becomes small, and trouble occurs in the next process. Therefore, a cylindrical rigid sleeve is attached to the drum surface to deal with these problems. In this case, since this sleeve is required for each coil, a large amount of sleeve stock is required, and in general, a sleeve storage is installed. Conventionally,
Since the sleeve is automatically taken out from the sleeve storage,
For example, as described in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 53-34388, an intermittent support device for a cylindrical member has been proposed in which a plurality of sleeves are installed on an inclined table and the sleeves are dispensed and supplied by natural rolling. Further, in the intermittent supporting device of the cylindrical member, a stopper using a link mechanism is installed in order to separate the subsequent sleeve from the preceding sleeve and stop the same.

[0003]

However, in the intermittent supporting device for the cylindrical member described in the above publication, even if it is applicable when individual cylindrical members having the same weight and diameter are dispensed, the steel strip winding device is applicable. There are sleeves of various diameters and weights used for the above, and when processing them using the intermittent support device of the cylindrical member described in the above publication, a wide variety of link shapes are required. Even if a combined link mechanism is made, it is necessary to change the parts and the like in correspondence with the sleeve, and there is a problem that replacement work is troublesome. Further, in the intermittent supporting device of the cylindrical member described in the above publication, since the intermittent feeding is performed by utilizing the weight of the cylindrical member, the operation is influenced by the weight of the cylindrical member, etc., and it is difficult to reliably deliver the sleeve. Is. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sleeve storage for a steel band winder, which operates reliably and can store a wide variety of sleeves and take them out individually.

[0004]

A method according to the above-mentioned object.
The described steel strip winder sleeve hangar is provided with a forwardly inclined slanting base on which a large number of sleeves are mounted in a rolling posture, and is arranged so as to be capable of projecting and moving in front of the respective slanting slanting bases. A moving carriage provided with a stopper before stopping and attached to each of the tilting stands, and is arranged at a position rearward by about one sleeve diameter from the front stopper when the moving carriage is in the retracted position, and its front end portion is always present. Is a position below the upper surface of the front tilting base and is capable of projecting from the tilting base, a drive cylinder for moving the respective moving carriage forward and backward, and the rear stopper is tilted as the moving carriage moves forward. It has a stopper drive mechanism after protruding from the base. The sleeve hangar for a steel strip winder according to claim 2 is the sleeve hangar for a steel strip winder according to claim 1, wherein the rear stopper rotates around the mounting pin and a side portion of the rear stopper. Is provided with a guide roller, and a guide groove of a tip downward bending type for guiding the guide roller is attached to the movable carriage,
The guide roller and the guide groove constitute the rear stopper drive mechanism.

[0005]

In the sleeve storage for the steel strip winding machine according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, since the movable carriage is provided in the front part of the inclined table and the front stopper is provided in the front part of the movable carriage, The sleeve mounted on the tilt table rolls due to tilting,
Stop at the position of the front stopper. Here, when the movable carriage is moved forward, the front stopper is attached to the movable carriage, so that one sleeve can be projected from the sleeve storage. On the other hand, since the following sleeve is also mounted on the tilt table, it rolls and moves in the forward direction, but when the moving carriage moves forward, a rear stopper that is behind by about one sleeve diameter is provided on the upper surface of the tilt table. Since it protrudes from the front, this causes the second sleeve from the front to stop at a fixed position and not extend to the front of the hangar. Next, after transporting and removing the sleeve stopped by the front stopper, when the moving carriage is retracted, the rear stopper lowers from the surface of the tilting base, and the second sleeve from the front rolls, It moves to the front side and stops at the position of the front stopper. By repeating the above operation, the following sleeves can be discharged individually. Particularly, in the sleeve storage for the steel strip winding machine according to claim 2, a guide roller is provided on a side portion of the rear stopper which rotates about the mounting pin, and the guide roller is attached to the movable carriage. Since it is driven by the guide groove of the front downward bending type, the rear stopper rotates with the movement of the movable carriage, so that the reliable carry-out operation can be performed without being affected by the weight of the sleeve and the like.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention. 1 is a partial side view of a sleeve storage for a steel strip winding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in a sleeve housing 10 for a steel strip winding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, individual sleeve housings 11 having substantially the same structure are arranged vertically and laterally. Multiple stages are provided. The sleeve storage unit 1
The reference numeral 1 designates a tilting base 13 having a forward tilting for accommodating a large number of sleeves 12, a moving carriage 15 having a front stopper 14 arranged on the front side of the tilting base 13, and rotatably attached to the tilting base 13. It has a rear stopper 16 and an air cylinder 17 which is an example of a drive cylinder for moving the moving carriage 15 forward and backward. These will be described in detail below.

The tilt table 13 is fixed to a pedestal 18 forming the entire frame, and mainly comprises two steel members 19 and 20 on both sides and two strip plates 21 and 22 placed on the steel members 19 and 20, respectively. It is made of wood. A guide member 23 made of grooved steel is provided on both sides of the tilt base 13, and a movable carriage 15 in which four front and rear wheels 24 are fitted into the guide member 23 is provided. Front stoppers 14 are provided on both sides of the front portion of the movable carriage 15 via support members 25.

The front stopper 14 has a substantially arcuate shape, the central portion of which is axially attached to the front end of the support member 25 as shown in FIG. It is screwed to the front side of the support member 25.
As a result, even if the diameter of the sleeve 12 changes a little, the mounting angle of the front stopper 14 can be changed to cope with the change.

An air cylinder 17 is provided at the rear portion of the moving carriage 15, and the front stopper 14 is moved forward and backward as shown in the upper and lower parts of FIG. 1 by moving the air cylinder 17 at the stroke end. Further, guide grooves 26, which are made of grooved steel and whose tips are bent obliquely downward, are provided at the lower portions on both sides of the moving carriage 15. A rear stopper 16 is rotatably attached by a pin 27 at predetermined positions on both lower sides of the front side of the tilt base 13.

The guide groove 2 is formed in the rear stopper 16.
6, a guide roller 28 that can be fitted into the movable carriage 15 is attached, and when the guide groove 26 moves forward as the moving carriage 15 moves forward,
The guide roller 28 is fitted into the guide groove 26, and
As shown in the lower part of FIG.
The rear stopper 16 rotates in the clockwise direction when passing through the bent portion of the front end, and the front end projects from the surface of the tilt base 13. The distance between the front stopper 14 and the rear stopper 16 is about the diameter of the sleeve 12 when the front stopper retracts. An inner circular arc-shaped claw 16a is rotatably provided at the end of the rear stopper 16 by axial coupling so that it can be adjusted according to the diameter of the sleeve 12.

A rolling-prevention stopper 30 which is rotated by a cylinder 29 is also provided at a rear portion of the tilting table 13, and normally the rolling-prevention stopper 30 is used to stop the flow of the sleeve 12 disposed on the upstream side. Then, when the sleeve 12 disappears or decreases in the downstream side, the rolling prevention stopper 30 is released to allow a predetermined number of sleeves 12 to flow to the downstream side.

Therefore, when the mounted sleeve 12 is taken out from the sleeve storing portion 11, when the air cylinder 17 is moved forward with the rolling prevention stopper 30 at the rear portion being operated, the sleeve 12 is moved to the front side of the moving carriage 15. The mounted sleeve 12 is conveyed as it is on the front stopper 14, but when the moving carriage 15 moves a little, the guide roller 28 of the rear stopper 16 fits into the guide groove 26, so that the rear stopper 16 immediately rises. , From the front 2
Stop the rolling of the second sleeve 12.

Next, after removing the sleeve 12 mounted on the front stopper 14, the air cylinder 17 is contracted and the moving carriage 15 is retracted, so that the guide roller 28 is moved from the guide groove 26 at a substantially retracted limit position. The tip end portion of the rear stopper 16 moves down, and the sleeve 12 which has been stopped by the rear stopper 16 so far rolls and moves to the position of the front stopper 14. By repeating this process, the sleeves 12 can be taken out one by one.

Sleeve storages having the same structure as the sleeve storage 11 are provided on the upper, lower, left and right sides to form a sleeve storage 10 for a steel band winder in which required types of sleeves are stored. Since the moving carriage 15 projects forward in all the parts 11 to carry out the sleeve 12, the monorail hoist or the like is arranged at the carrying-out position to facilitate the carrying.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the drive of the rear stopper is interlocked with the moving carriage, but the present invention is also applicable to the case where the rear stopper is driven by an independent drive system with certain interlocking.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, the sleeve housing for the steel strip winding machine according to the first and second aspects of the present invention drives the front stopper and the rear stopper in an interlocking manner to carry out the sleeves one by one. Therefore, the sleeve can be taken out by a reliable operation regardless of the weight of the sleeve. Further, since the sleeve stopped by the front stopper is always in a fixed position at the time of unloading, it is possible to further automate the unloading of the sleeve. Further, since the front stopper protruding when the sleeve is carried out is stored in the sleeve storage when not in use, it does not become an obstacle when carrying out the lower sleeve, and the installation space can be small.
Particularly, in the sleeve storage for the steel strip winding machine according to the second aspect, the movement of the moving carriage and the movement of the rear stopper are completely interlocked with each other, so that the movement becomes more reliable and malfunctions are eliminated.
