Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a butt-joining method for raw paper, which is performed when a raw paper is spirally wound to produce a paper tube.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the manufacture of a paper tube, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a core 1 made of a steel tube or a round bar is fixedly provided, and a plurality of strip-shaped raw material papers are provided beside the core 1. 2
Is placed in an oblique direction that matches the winding angle,
The process is performed such that the raw material papers 2 are simultaneously supplied from the webs 3 to the winding core 1.

[0003] In the case of the example shown in the figure, the raw material paper 2 is obtained from seven raw materials 3.
Is supplied, and the raw material paper 2 of each raw material 3 is supplied.
Is wound spirally so that a widthwise end thereof slightly overlaps the outer peripheral surface of the winding core 1 by applying an appropriate winding force by a belt means (not shown) to form a single-layered spiral tube. In this case, the first material 3a is laminated on the first layer of the paper tube w, the second material 3b is laminated on the second layer, and so on. Anti-3a
３3g make a seven-layer paper tube, which is sequentially extruded on the circumferential surface of the winding core 1 in the arrow direction f1.

[0004] Behind each raw material 3, a supply raw material 4 is prepared, and when the remaining amount of the raw material 3 being supplied becomes small, an operator can remove the raw paper 2 of the raw material 3 from the raw material 3. The rear end portion is connected to the leading end of the raw material paper 2 of the raw material 4 for replenishment, so that the raw paper 2 is continuously supplied.

[0005] The connection processing of the raw material paper described above can be performed by various methods, but conventionally, generally, the following processing is performed in consideration of simplicity and speed.

That is, an operator pulls out the front end 2a of the raw material paper 2 of the replenishing raw fabric 4 as shown in FIG. 2A, and affixes the adhesive tape 5 to this in a protruding shape in advance as shown in FIG. 2B. ,
When the raw material 3 being supplied becomes low, the raw paper 2 of the raw material 3 is pulled out as shown in FIG. A, and the rear end portion 2b of the raw material paper 2 is drawn as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 5
And the extra length portion 6 is removed by hand tearing or the like.

After the connection process is completed, the supply source material 4 is set to the position p1 of the source material 3 that has been supplied earlier, and a new position is provided at the position p2 where the supply source material 4 was located. The replenishing raw material 4 is prepared, and thereafter, the same operation is repeated, and the raw material paper 2 is supplied without interruption.

[0008]

In the conventional connection process of the raw material paper performed as described above, since the extra portion 6 of the raw material paper 2 cannot be accurately removed, even after the same portion 6 is removed, the supply of the raw material paper 2 is not completed. In many cases, the rear end portion 2b of the raw paper 2 and the leading end 2a of the raw paper 2 for replenishment overlap each other, so that only the connecting portion of the raw paper 2 becomes thick, and this connecting portion is wound. A step occurs due to the large thickness of the connection part in the outer diameter of the product formed by taking out, and it is necessary to cut off the paper tube with this step part because it can not be shipped as a product, which requires extra labor and Loss occurs.

[0009] Further, in the case where the raw paper 2 is supplied simultaneously from many raw materials 3 and there are only a few workers,
At the same time, when the remaining amount of multiple originals 3 ...
Since the capacity of one worker is limited, the connection process has to be started earlier. Therefore, the worker is required to start each connection from the time when the raw paper 2 of the raw material 3 being supplied considerably remains. It is necessary to perform connection processing for each material 3
The loss of the raw paper 2 is inevitable.

In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to make butt connection of raw paper easy, quick and accurate.

As a result, the raw paper 2 in the raw paper automatic connection device 10 is brought into a free state, and the feeding movement is started again by the pulling force acting on the raw paper 2 toward the core 1.

By the way, it is preferable from the viewpoint of efficiency that the production of the paper tube is continued while the supply movement of the raw paper 2 is stopped by the raw paper automatic connection device 10 (for example, about 2 seconds). Therefore, during that time, as shown in FIG. 3C, the dancing rollers 9 of the raw material paper staying means 7 are used.
Is moved upward by the supply movement force of the raw paper 2 to the winding core 1, and the raw paper 2 staying here is sequentially supplied.

Then, from the moment when the automatic feeder 10 starts the supply movement of the raw paper 2, the
.. Returns to its original position as shown in FIG. D by the descending force acting on itself, and again causes the raw paper 2 to stay.

In the supply section of the raw paper 2, the raw paper stopper 34 a is lowered in connection with the termination of the connection by the raw paper automatic connecting device 10, whereby the consumed raw paper 2 3 rolls on the support rails 33... By its own weight, and as shown in FIG.
Locked in 5. The original web stopper 34a is raised and returned after a certain period of time, and in connection with this, the other
b is lowered, whereby the replenishing raw material 4 rolls forward due to the pulling force of the raw material paper 2 and is locked by the raw material stopper 34a. The web stopper 34b is raised and returned.

Thereafter, the operator places a new supply material 4 on the support rails 33 and locks it on the material stopper 34b. Thereafter, the above operation is repeated for each material paper 2. Thus, the raw paper 2 to be supplied to the core 1 is continuously supplied without interruption.
