Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention continuously folds web pieces used as, for example, tissue paper or towel paper into a zigzag shape to form a laminate.
The present invention relates to a quantitative web laminated body manufacturing method and apparatus for automatically separating a fixed amount of web laminated body from a subsequent folded web every time a predetermined number of the web pieces are folded.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Folding webs such as boxed tissue papers and towel papers are generally web laminates in which two types of web pieces are alternately folded in a zigzag shape and the web pieces on each side are intermeshed with each other. Was continuously formed, and a predetermined number of products (quantity) were manually separated from the continuously laminated web laminated bodies to obtain a quantitative web laminated body. However, such a manual quantitative separation work has a problem that a dedicated worker is required for the quantitative separation work, and in recent years, every time a certain amount of web is folded, Quantitative web laminate manufacturing apparatus have been developed which are capable of automatically separating a fixed amount of web laminate from a subsequent folded web.

By the way, as a quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus capable of continuously producing a quantitative web laminated body in a state of being sequentially separated, there has been one as shown in FIGS. For example, US Pat. No. 48
74158).

The publicly known quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus shown in FIGS. The web laminated body separating device 105 for separating the formed web laminated bodies into a predetermined amount is provided so that the quantitative web laminated body Y can be successively manufactured.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, continuous webs W, W respectively fed from two original rolls are cut between the two tool rolls 121, 123 into product lengths, and the left and right sides thereof are cut. The web pieces WS, WS are guided between the pair of folding rolls 141, 141 via the transfer rolls 131, 131, and are sequentially folded into zigzags by the packer fingers 147, 147, and the folded webs are folded. Are sequentially laminated on a lifting table 150 provided below the folding rolls 141 and 141 to form a web laminated body. The folding web stacked on the lifting table 150 is peeled off from the outer peripheral surfaces of the folding rolls 141 and 141 by the tip portions 147a of the packer fingers 147 and 147, respectively, as shown in FIG. At this time, the packer fingers 147, 147 move the folding rolls 14
1, 141 is alternately and rapidly peeled off near the folded portion (outer edge portion) of the folding web. At that time, air enters the lower surface of the folding web and is stacked on the lifting table 150. The webs are sequentially laminated with the central portion raised upward as shown by reference numeral WS 'in FIG. In particular, when a thin one such as tissue paper is used as the web, the lower surface side of the web piece WS receives air resistance when the folded portion of the web piece is peeled off, and the central portion of the web piece easily bends,
During and after the folding web is laminated on the web laminate, air enters the lower surface of the central portion of the folding web and the central portion of the web easily rises upward.
The lifting table 150 has a lifting drive device 15 as the folding webs that are folded on top of the lifting table 150 are accumulated and increased.
A slight movement is caused by 2.

Then, when a predetermined number (for example, 200 sets) of web pieces WS are folded on the lifting table 150,
A count-up signal is issued from the counting device that counts it, and the telescopic cylinder 162, which has been in the contracted state as shown in FIG. 2, is extended by the signal. Then
The reverse L-shaped presser bar 161 at the rear standby position is operated to the driving side, and the presser piece (upper side part) 161a of the presser bar is between the folding rolls 141 and 141 as indicated by reference numeral 161a '. Between the web and the stack of webs on the lifting table 150 is driven into the folded web piece WS which is opened in a ">" shape from the lateral direction.

Immediately after the presser bar 161 is driven in, as shown in FIG. 3, the inverted L-shaped partition bar 171 located at the opposite position is actuated to the driving side by another telescopic cylinder 172. The receiving piece (upper side portion) 171a of the partition bar 171 is driven into the "<"-shaped opening of the following folded web piece WS. This partition bar 171
The receiving height of the receiving piece 171a of the
It is set at a position higher than the driving height of the pressing piece 161a. That is, the pressing piece 1 of the pressing bar 161 in which the driving height of the receiving piece 171a of the partition bar 171 has already been driven.
If the position is higher than the driving height of 61a, the driving becomes impossible. After the partition bar 171 is driven into the folding web, the partition bar 171 is also slightly moved down by the elevating drive device 175 in conjunction with the folding operation of the web piece.

Next, as shown in FIG.
0 is a holding bar 161 with the quantitative web laminated body Y being placed thereon.
The web piece (the reference numeral WS ₁ ) at the top of the quantitative web laminated body Y on the side of the lifting table 150 and the web piece at the bottom of the subsequent folding web supported on the partition bar 171 side move downward at a high speed together with it. (Reference numeral WS ₂ ) is separated.

After that, as shown in FIG. 5, the lifting table 150 descends to the extrusion height of the quantitative web laminated body Y while the pressing bar 161 holds the upper portion of the quantitative web laminated body Y. Then, the presser bar 161 retracts to the left as shown by reference numeral 161 'in FIG.

When the presser bar 161 retracts, the telescopic cylinder 281a of the pusher 281 extends as shown in FIG. Then, the quantitative web laminated body Y is extruded and conveyed to the next process side by the conveyer conveyor 282. Then, after that, the telescopic cylinder 281a is contracted and the empty lifting table 150 is moved upward to receive the web laminated body folded on the partition bar 171 from the partition bar 171 onto the lifting table 150, In the same manner, the quantitative web laminated body Y is continuously manufactured without interrupting the folding operation.

By the way, the folding web to be laminated on the elevating table 150 is laminated in a state where the central portion is raised upward as shown by reference numeral WS 'in FIG. On the other hand, the driving height of the pressing piece 161a of the pressing bar 161 is determined by the receiving piece 171 of the partition bar 171 as shown in FIGS.
It is set to a position lower than the driving height of a. As described above, when the driving height of the presser bar 161 is low, the pressing piece 161 is pressed when the presser bar 161 is driven.
The bulge portion WS 'of the web folded at the tip 161b of a.
May be pressed forward. It should be noted that the pressing piece 161a of the pressing bar 161 has a more reliable pressing action on the quantitative web laminated body as the driving length of the pressing bar 161a is longer.
The driving depth of 61b becomes deeper, and the amount by which the raised portion WS 'of the folded web is pushed forward by the pressing bar tip 161b becomes larger accordingly.

In this type of quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a long quantitative web laminated body Y having a length corresponding to a plurality of products can be manufactured. In the subsequent step (cutting step), the long fixed-quantity web laminated body Y is cut into product dimensions along the cutting line Yc, and then the product-length fixed quantitative web laminated body is packed into a final product.

[0013]

By the way, in the above-described known quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the holding piece 161a of the holding bar 161 is driven into the receiving piece 171a of the partition bar 171. The folding web, which is driven to a position lower than the height and is stacked on the elevating table 150, has a central portion which is raised upward as indicated by reference numeral WS 'in FIG. Therefore, the presser bar 16
In some cases, the height at which the first pressing piece 161a is driven may be lower than the upper raised portion WS 'of the laminated folding webs. In that case, the folding web piece WS is formed at the tip 161b of the pressed pressing piece 161a. The upper swell portion WS 'is pushed forward. In this way, the presser piece 1
When the upper raised portion WS 'of the folded web is pushed forward by the tip 161b of the 61a, the pushed folded web piece WS is displaced or deformed at the upper portion of the quantitative web laminated body Y, or the folded web WS is There is a problem of wrinkles and scratches.

Further, in the case of producing a long fixed-quantity web laminated body Y for a plurality of products, the folding web piece WS located on the upper part of the long fixed-quantity web laminated body Y is deformed or wrinkled. In the case where they are polymerized in a state (for example, when the folded web piece WS at the upper end is wavy as shown in FIG. 7), the long quantitative web laminate is cut into product lengths (cut line Yc). When the folding web piece WS is deformed or wrinkled, the cut end of the folded web piece WS at the upper end is inclined as shown by reference numeral WSe in the unfolded state of FIG.
As shown by f, there are steps (when there are wrinkles),
There was a problem that the product value declined.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is a quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus capable of continuously manufacturing a web laminated body in a state where the web laminated bodies are separated by a fixed amount, and is mounted on a lifting table. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a quantitative web laminate and an apparatus for producing the quantitative web laminate, in which a holding bar driven between the quantitative web laminate and the subsequent folding web does not adversely affect the web pieces.

[0016]

The present invention has the following structural features as means for solving the above problems.

First, in the present invention (method and apparatus for manufacturing a quantitative web laminate), two continuous webs that are continuously fed are cut into web pieces each having a predetermined length, and the webs on the respective sides are cut. The pieces are sequentially folded alternately in a zigzag shape, and the folded webs are stacked on each other in a state of being meshed with each other. Every time a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the lift table, the web laminated body is formed. After pressing the holding bar and the partition bar between the web and the subsequent folding web that is folded after the web laminated body, the lifting table is lowered together with the holding bar, and the quantitative web stacking on the lifting table is performed. It is intended to separate the body from the subsequent folding web.

In the apparatus for producing a quantitative web laminate of the present invention, two continuous webs are continuously fed from a web roll by a web feeding device, and each continuous web is cut into a predetermined length by a web cutting device. The web pieces are cut into pieces and the web pieces on each side are zigzag-folded together by means of a web folding device. The folding webs folded by the web folding device are sequentially stacked on the lifting table, and the lifting table is continuously moved at a predetermined fine speed by the lifting drive device as the web stack is accumulated and increased on the upper table. Or, the tremor is intermittently lowered. Further, when a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the lifting table, a signal from the controller separates the fixed quantity web stack folded on the lifting table and the subsequent folding web by a web stack separating device. It is designed to let you.

This web laminated body separating device is driven up and down by driving between an elevating drive device for raising and lowering an elevating table, a fixed amount web laminated body on the elevating table and a folding web which is continuously folded thereon. A presser bar for pressing the upper surface of the quantitative web laminated body on the table, a presser bar drive device for operating the presser bar, and a presser bar between the folding webs one position above the presser bar is driven, It has a partition bar that supports the folding web and a partition bar drive device that operates the partition bar.

The presser bar and the partition bar are arranged so as to face each other on the left and right sides of the web laminated body to be laminated on the lifting table. Further, the presser bar and the partition bar are
Each has a horizontal upper side. The upper side of the holding bar side serves as a holding piece for holding the upper part of the web stack on the lifting table, and the upper side of the partition bar side serves as a receiving piece for receiving the subsequent folding web. Further, the presser bar and the partition bar are designed such that their upper sides can be driven substantially horizontally from the folding web which is about to be folded by the web folding device. Further, the holding bar is installed so that it can be lifted and lowered together with the lifting table by the lifting drive device. The holding bar may be moved up and down together with the lifting table, and may be individually moved up and down by the lifting device (for example, a telescopic cylinder) with respect to the lifting table.

The above-mentioned web laminated body separating apparatus is operated by the controller as follows. That is, when a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the lifting table, the pressing bar driving device is first operated by the signal issued from the controller based on the count-up signal from the counting device to move the pressing bar on the lifting table. Is driven between the folding webs that are about to be folded on the upper part of the web laminate, and the driving height of the presser bar is the same as or higher than the partition bar driving height position where the partition bar is driven. Is set. Then, almost simultaneously with the driving operation of the presser bar (before the partition bar is driven), the presser bar is rapidly lowered together with the elevating table to a position slightly lower than the driving height position of the partition bar by the elevating drive device. The rapid lowering operation of the presser bar is performed only for an instantaneous time because the partition bar is driven next with a very small time difference. Next, after rapidly lowering the presser bar, the partition bar drive device is activated to drive the partition bar to a position slightly higher than the presser bar in the lowered position,
After that, the lifting drive device is operated to lower the holding bar together with the lifting table. In addition, when the presser bar and the partition bar are respectively driven between the folding webs and the presser bar is lowered together with the lifting table, the fixed quantity web laminated body on the lift table is supported by the partition bar. It can be separated from the folding web.

[0022]

In the quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, when the whole apparatus is started (for example, the original machine driving apparatus is operated), two continuous webs are continuously fed out, and each continuous web is fed. After the web is cut into pieces each having a predetermined length, the web pieces on each side are sequentially folded into zigzags by a web folding device, and the folded webs folded in zigzags are folded into webs. Are successively stacked on the lifting table below. At this time, the folding web stacked on the lifting table is
The folded part folded in two is hit by a packer finger, and when it is stacked on the web stack on the lifting table, air enters the central part on the lower surface side of the folded web, and the central part is broken. It may be raised upwards (especially with thin webs such as tissue paper, this tendency becomes stronger).

When a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the elevating table, a counting device for counting the number of the web pieces outputs a count-up signal. Based on the count-up signal, the controller causes the web laminated body separating device to operate. It is activated.

That is, first, the presser bar driving device is actuated to the driving side by a signal from the controller and is about to be folded on the lifting table. The presser bar is driven into. The driving height of this presser bar is
It is set at the same height as or higher than the driving height of the partition bar to be driven next. Incidentally, in the past, it is common knowledge that the driving height of the presser bar is lower than the driving height of the partition bar, but with the present invention, the pressing bar can be driven to a higher position than in the conventional case. If the driving height of the presser bar is set to the high position in this way, the pressing piece of the presser bar can be driven with a margin between the upper and lower web pieces opened in the shape of ">". That is, the tip of the presser bar to be driven can be driven to a height position near the valley (deep part) of the ">" shaped space between the web pieces that are about to be folded, and the center of the folded web can be driven. Even if the above-mentioned upper raised portion is formed in the portion, the pressing piece of the holding bar can be driven above the upper raised portion (or in the vicinity of the upper surface). Therefore, the tip of the presser bar to be driven does not push the web piece which is about to be folded and is pushed to the front side (or the degree of pressing the web piece is slight).

Next, at almost the same time as the pressing bar driving operation (prior to the partition bar driving operation), the lifting drive device is operated to the descending side for a momentary time by the signal from the controller, and the pressing bar is moved. It can be quickly lowered to a position slightly lower than the driving height position of. When the lifting drive device is operated to the descending side, the lifting table as well as the lifting bar rapidly descends.

Then, after rapidly lowering the presser bar,
The partition bar driving device is actuated to the driving side by the signal from the controller, and the partition bar is driven between the folding webs one above the folding webs in which the presser bar is driven.

When the partition bar is driven between the folding webs, the elevating drive mechanism moves the lifting table downward at a high speed to the discharging position while the quantitative web stack is still placed, and the quantitative web stack on the lifting table is moved by the partition bar. Separated from the subsequent folding web that is supported.

In the case where the holding bar can be raised and lowered with respect to the lifting table by a separate lifting device, the lifting table on which the quantitative web laminated body is placed is located above after the holding bar is driven. At this time, the pressing bar may be moved downward with respect to the lifting table so that the pressing bar presses the upper surface of the quantitative web laminate. With this configuration, the quantitative web laminated body can be sandwiched between the lifting table and the holding bar, and the posture of the quantitative web laminated body on the lifting table does not collapse even if the lifting table is moved down at a high speed.

Further, although the web folding operation by the web folding device is continuously performed, after the partition bar is driven, the subsequent folding web is supported by the partition bar. Then, the elevating table on which the quantitative web laminated body is placed is lowered to a predetermined lower position, where the quantitative web laminated body on the elevating table is ejected to the next process side by the ejecting device, and then the empty elevating table is moved upward. Then, the web laminated body folded and laminated at the upper position is transferred from the partition bar (or another temporary receiving device or the like) onto the lifting table.

As described above, according to the quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the above-described operation is sequentially repeated,
The quantitative web laminate can be manufactured automatically and continuously.

[0031]

As described above, in the present invention (the method for producing a fixed amount web laminate and the apparatus for producing the same), the pressing bar is moved faster than the partition bar every time a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the lifting table. At the timing and at the same height as or higher than the driving height of the partition bar, the driven press bar is rapidly lowered to a position lower than the driving height position of the partition bar before the partition bar is driven. After squeezing, the partition bar is driven between the folding webs one position above the position where the holding bar is driven, and then the holding bar is lowered together with the lifting table, so that the quantitative web laminated body on the lifting table follows. It can be separated from the folding web. Therefore, when the presser bar is driven, the presser bar can be driven with a margin between the upper and lower folding webs opened in the shape of ">", and the tip of the presser bar can push the web being folded. Since it is not present (or is slight even if pressed), there is an effect that troubles such as deformation, displacement and damage of the quantitative web laminated body (particularly the uppermost folded web) due to driving of the presser bar do not occur. When the quantitative web laminate (in particular, the uppermost folded web) is not deformed or displaced in this way, in the case of producing a long quantitative web laminate having a plurality of product lengths, the long quantitative web laminate is manufactured. Even when the web laminate is later cut into product lengths, each web piece (especially the uppermost web piece) can be accurately cut into a rectangular shape. Further, almost simultaneously with driving the presser bar (before the partition bar is driven), the presser bar can be rapidly lowered to a position lower than the driving height position of the partition bar. Even if the driving bar is driven from a high position, the pressing bar does not interfere with the partition bar to be driven next, and the operation can be performed without any trouble.

(27, 34, 45) are formed. In the example shown,
For each roll 23, 31, 41, front and rear of the ridges (or anvil knives) 24, 32, 43, and concave grooves 25, 3
Intake holes 27, 34, 45 are opened in front of and behind 3, 44, respectively. It should be noted that each of the intake holes is formed in a large number in the roll axis direction. These intake holes 27, 3
4 and 45 are designed to inhale in each roll only within the range of reference numerals 28, 35 and 46 (FIGS. 10 to 12) shown by chain lines. Therefore, the web piece WS cut by both knives 22 and 24 of the web cutting device 2
As shown in FIG. 11, the outer peripheral surface of the anvil roll 23 transfers to the outer peripheral surface of the transfer roll 31, and the outer peripheral surface of the transfer roll 31 transfers to the outer peripheral surface of the folding roll 41.

Further, in each of the air intake holes formed in the folding roll 41, the air intake holes 4 formed in the concave groove 44 portion.
No. 5 is set so that the suction force is larger than that of the air intake hole 45 formed in the ridge 43 portion. In this example,
As shown in FIG. 12, the suction force of the intake hole 45 (opening only in the concave groove 44 portion) branched from the ventilation hole of reference numeral 45A (the number of branching of the intake hole is small) is large, and that of reference numeral 45B. The suction force of the intake holes 45 (opening to the convex ridge 43 portion and the concave groove 44 portion) branched from the ventilation holes (the number of the intake holes is large) is reduced. Then, in FIG. 12, when the convex strip 43 of the folding roll 41 on one side (left side) and the concave groove 44 of the folding roll 41 on the other side (right side) meet, the intake air that is open to the concave groove 44 portion. The total suction force of the holes 45 becomes considerably larger than the total suction force of the air intake holes 45 that are open to the other ridge 43, and the web pieces WS and WS sent from the left and right sides are superposed. Then, the superposed web is drawn to the outer peripheral surface of the folding roll 41 on the side of the concave groove 44 (the outer peripheral surface of the folding roll on each side is alternately taken). The portion of the web piece WS where the pushing streak WSc formed by the ridge 32 of the transfer roll 31 (intermediate position in the running direction of the web piece) is located in the concave groove 44 portion. When the 44 portion advances to the proximity position of both folding rolls 41, 41, on the outside of the pushing line forming portion of the web piece held by the concave groove portion 44, the respective proximity ends of the two web pieces on the other side are formed. The edges will overlap. Then, when the recessed groove 44 portion further advances by a predetermined angle, at the recessed groove 44 portion, the pushing bar WS of the web piece is pushed.
The edge of each web piece on the opposite side is wrapped and held by the c-forming portion.

In this embodiment, as the means for holding the web folding portion on the outer peripheral surface of the folding roll 41, a suction type means is adopted, but in other embodiments,
A gripping method using a vise may be adopted instead of the suction method. By the way, in the gripping method with a vise, the web folding part is partially gripped at intervals,
In this case, the fold line portion appears to the extent that the gripping portion and the non-grasping portion by the vise can be discriminated (a step is formed in the fold line portion), and the appearance is slightly deteriorated. On the other hand, in the case where the web folding portion is held by the suction type as in this embodiment, there is no step in the folding line portion unlike the gripping method by the vise, but in the case where the suction holding is simply performed, the folding is not performed. The feature is that the lines do not appear clearly. However, in this embodiment, since the pushing streak WSc is formed in advance in the web folding portion, even if the suction type is adopted, a sharp folding line can be revealed.

Left and right folding rolls 41, 41
.. are arranged so that the tip ends of the packer fingers 47, 47 .. This packer finger 4 on each side
7, 47 are driven by a driving means (not shown) that is operated in synchronization with the rotation angle of the folding roll 41.
Alternately rocked up and down, folding roll 4
When the groove 44 part of No. 1 passes both roll proximity parts and is rotated to a predetermined position, the web holding part sucked in the groove 44 part is pushed downward by the tip part of the packer finger 47. To do. When the web is pushed out by the packer fingers 47, the suction action from the intake holes 45 in the concave groove 44 portion is stopped. As described above, in the web folding device 4, the above-described operations are alternately performed, and the folding webs are continuously sent out between the folding rolls 41, 41, and the lifting table 50 described later is sequentially provided.
Stacked on top. When the folding web is removed from the folding roll 41 side to the lifting table 50 side, as shown in FIG. 20 or 21, air resistance is exerted on the lower surface side central portion of the web piece WS so that the central portion of the web moves. It will rise upwards. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. 19, the folding web thus folded is
When the concave groove 25 of the anvil roll 23 and the ridge 32 of the transfer roll 31 previously come into contact with each other, the web piece WS
A clear pushing streak WSc is formed at an intermediate portion in the traveling direction of the web folding device 4 in the web folding device 4.
Since it is folded at the Sc portion, the folded portion WSc '(FIG. 37) of the folded web appears sharply (cleanly).

Below the web folding device 4, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15, a pair of left and right side guides 1 that guide the left and right sides of the folding web that is sequentially folded.
7, 17 are provided. These side guides 17,
As for 17, a vertically oriented thin plate is used, and below the folding portion of the web, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a predetermined interval (interval between the annular grooves 42, 42) in the length direction of the folding roll 41. In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, a large number of folded webs are arranged to face each other with a space slightly wider than the left and right width of the folded web. Further, each of the side guides 17, 17 is installed with its upper end portion 17a inserted into each annular groove 42 of the folding roll 41 by an appropriate depth. The side guides 17, 17 guide the folding webs, which are sequentially folded, to be aligned on the lifting table 50. Further, since the upper end portions 17a of the side guides 17, 17 are inserted into the annular groove 42 by an appropriate depth, for some reason (for example, when the web extrusion timing by the packer fingers 47 is delayed), the web is properly folded. Even if the web is not peeled at the angular position, the web comes into collision with the side guides 17 on either side, and the web can be reliably peeled at the proper position. The folding roll 41 has an annular groove 4
When the side guide 17 is installed in the type in which 2 cannot be formed (the blade is continuous on the outer surface of the roll), it is necessary to install the upper end surface of the side guide with a slight gap from the outer peripheral surface of the folding roll. There is. In this case, when the web cannot be separated successfully at the proper position of the folding roll, the tip of the web may get caught in the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the folding roll and the upper end surface of the side guide. If the folded web is pushed out by the packer fingers while the portion is caught in the gap, the web may be scratched or wrinkled.

This quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus includes an operation speed detecting apparatus 11 for detecting the operation speed of the apparatus.
And a counting device 12 for counting the number of folded web pieces. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.

And a lifting drive device 52 for lifting the lifting table 50.
And a first partitioning device 6 and a second partitioning device 7 for partitioning the folding webs that are folded on the lifting table 50 from the left and right sides, respectively.

As the lifting table 50, an elongated plate-like one is used which is slightly wider than the width of the folded folded web and longer than the width of the continuous web W. A large number of recesses are formed on both left and right sides of the lifting table 50 so that the inner end portions of the side guides 17, 17 are fitted therein. As shown in FIG. 15, the lifting table 50 has a predetermined upward movement position. When it is within the range, the lifting table 50 and the side guides 17,
I try not to collide with 17. Further, the lifting table 50 has both longitudinal ends supported by vertical rods 51. In another embodiment, as the lifting table 50, one having a large number of bars arranged side by side at the same height with a small interval can be used.

In this embodiment, the elevating / lowering drive device 52 includes a belt 54 stretched vertically as shown in FIG.
A servo motor 53 is used to reversibly travel (a pair of front and rear). A base block 55 is attached to each of the front and rear belts 54, and as shown in FIG. 18, each base block 55 supports each rod 51 of the lifting table 50. The servo motor 53 of the lifting drive device 52 is the controller 1
0 (FIGS. 16 and 17) controls the operation timing, rotation direction and speed (details will be described later), but basically the lifting table 50 receives the folding web from the web folding device 4. Upper position and lifting table 50
The upper and lower web stacks are moved up and down with respect to the lower position.

As shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, the first partitioning device 6 has a narrow and inverted L-shaped presser bar 61, and a presser bar drive device 62 for operating the presser bar 61. .
Further, the presser bar driving device 62 has an expansion / contraction cylinder 620 for actually moving the presser bar 61 back and forth between a retracted position and a driving position, and a lock device 67 for locking the presser bar 61.

The pressing bar 61 is for pressing the upper surface of the quantitative web laminated body laminated on the lifting table 50, and is installed on the left side of the lifting table 50 in the illustrated example. The presser bar 61 has a presser piece 61a that is laterally oriented and has a considerable length (for example, about 140 mm) at the top.
The pressing bar 61 is used in a large number (the same number as the annular groove 42) with a space between the annular grooves 42, 42 of the folding roll 41. In addition, the presser bars 61, 61.
-Fixes each lower end portion thereof to one shaft 64.

On the other hand, the front and rear rods 5 of the lifting table 50
1 includes a slide block 63 that can slide up and down.
(A pair of front and rear) is provided, and a shaft 64 of the presser bar 61 is rotatably installed between the slide blocks 63.

Telescopic cylinder 62 of presser bar drive device 62
0 is supported by a slide block 63, and a lever 64a in which the movable side of the telescopic cylinder 620 is attached to a shaft 64
Connected to. The shaft 64 can be reversibly rotated (the pressing bar 61 can be swung left and right) by expanding and contracting the expanding and contracting cylinder 620. The operation range of the presser bar 61 by the telescopic cylinder 620 is as shown in FIG. 17 or FIG.
1 is a leftward retracted position (a position shown by a solid line) that does not interfere with the folding operation of the web, and a rightward driving in which the tip of the pressing piece 61a is about to be folded on the elevating table 50 to enter a predetermined depth between the folding webs. Position (Fig. 17 or 20)
It is set so that it can be swung between the position shown in FIG. Although the pressing action of the presser bar 61 becomes more reliable as the driving depth becomes deeper, the pressing bar 61 may break through the web at the tip of the pressing piece 61a if the driving depth is made too deep. It is preferable to set the driving depth to about 70 to 80% in the width direction of the web laminate.

The lock device 67 allows the operation of the pressing bar 61 toward the driving side to be performed instantaneously.
As shown in FIG. 3, the lock member 69 is pivotally attached to the slide block 63, and a telescopic cylinder (a solenoid is also possible) 68 for swinging the lock member 69.
The telescopic cylinder 68 is fixedly attached to a predetermined position on the frame side of the machine body. The lock member 69 is
In this embodiment, the extension operation of the telescopic cylinder 620 that serves as the presser bar drive device 62 is restricted. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the locking device 67 is configured such that the telescopic cylinder 620 serving as the presser bar driving device 62 is in the contracted state (the presser bar 61 is at the right standby position) and the telescopic cylinder 68 of the lock device 67 is moved. By contracting, the rod of the telescopic cylinder 620 is locked by the lock member 69, and on the other hand, the telescopic cylinder 68 of the lock device 67 is extended, whereby the lock member 69 is arc-rotated and unlocked. . The lock device 67 is operated by a signal from the controller 10 as described later, but before the lock member 69 is unlocked, the telescopic cylinder 620 serving as the presser bar drive device 62 is operated toward the extension side. Every other time (actually, it is locked by the lock member 69 and therefore does not extend), the pressing operation of the presser bar 61 is instantaneously performed simultaneously with the unlocking operation of the lock member 69.

Slide block 63 and lifting table 50
An expandable cylinder 65 for moving the slide block 63 up and down with respect to the rod 51 is provided between the lower ends of the rods 51, as shown in FIGS. This telescopic cylinder 65 has a function of maintaining the holding bar 61 at the upper standby height position when the lifting table 50 slightly moves down (the rod 51 also moves down) during stacking of folding webs, as described later. That is, while the elevating table 50 is slightly moving down, the telescopic cylinder 65 continues to operate toward the extension side and constantly urges the slide block 63 upward. 1
8), it is maintained at a fixed position and each presser bar 61 is also maintained at the upper standby height position. Further, this telescopic cylinder 65 is the same as the counting device 1 described above.
When the count-up signal from 2 is issued, the extension state is locked (the slide block 63 becomes unable to slide with respect to the rod 51), and thereafter, as the lifting table 50 moves downward, the presser bar is moved. 61 also comes down.

Further, the telescopic cylinder 65 (FIGS. 17 and 18) for vertically moving the slide block is provided immediately after the lowering of the lifting table 50 is started after the pressing bar 61 is driven into the web stack on the lifting table 50. 23, the presser bar 61 is moved from the solid line position to the chain line position (reference numeral 6).
It operates so as to move it down a little to the 1'position (for example, about 10 mm). That is, the telescopic cylinder 65
Immediately after the lowering of the lifting table 50 is started, the slide block 63 is reduced by a slight amount, and the slide block 63 is moved down by a certain height with respect to the rod 51 of the lifting table 50.
As a result, the presser bar 61 is also moved downward so that the presser piece (reference numeral 61a ') compresses the web laminated body X on the elevating table 50 by a slight height. In this way, when the web laminated body on the lifting table 50 (separated into the quantitative web laminated body Y) is compressed by the pressing piece 61a ',
When the quantitative web laminated body Y is clamped and held by the upper surface of the lifting table 50 and the lower surface of the pressing piece 61a ′, and when the quantitative web laminated body Y is moved downward together with the lifting table 50 as shown in FIGS. In addition, the quantitative web laminated body Y on the lifting table 50 can be lowered in a stable posture. In addition, the telescopic cylinder 65 (FIGS. 17 and 18) for vertically moving the slide block has the lifting table 50 shown in FIG.
When it is moved down to the discharge height position shown in FIG. 5, it is operated so as to extend by the above-described reduction amount which is reduced immediately after the start of the downward movement of the lifting table 50. Then, as shown in FIG. 26, the presser bar 61 together with the slide block 63 is moved upward by a slight height as indicated by reference numeral 61 '(at that time, the presser piece 61a is at the position of reference numeral 61a'), and the presser bar 61a is moved. The downward pressing force on the quantitative web laminated body Y by the piece 61a comes to be released. When the pressing force of the pressing piece 61a 'is released in this way, the pressing piece 61a' is released.
It is possible to push the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 from the elevating table 50 by the pusher 81 while a'is being driven into the quantitative web laminated body Y side.

As shown in FIGS. 16 to 17, the second partitioning device 7 has a narrow width and an inverted L shape (opposite to the pressing bar 61).
The partition bar 71 and the partition bar drive device 72 for operating the partition bar 71. The partition bar driving device 72 includes a telescopic cylinder 720 that actually moves the partition bar 71 back and forth between a retracted position and a driving position, a locking device 77 that locks the partition bar 71, and the (partition bar 71, telescopic cylinder 720, And a lift drive device 75 for moving the lock device 77) up and down.

A lifting drive device 75 for the second partition device 7.
16, a belt 752 stretched in the vertical direction (a pair of front and rear) is reversibly run by a servo motor 751.
The servomotor 751 is used in the controller 10 (see FIG.
6, the signal from FIG. 17) controls the operation timing, rotation direction and speed.

A base block 753 is attached to each of the front and rear belts 752 of the lifting drive device 75 for the second partition device 7, and each base block 753 is attached.
Supports a telescopic cylinder 76 (a pair of front and rear) for adjusting the partition bar 71 to the left and right. A mounting base 761 (a pair of front and rear) of the partition bar 71 is attached to the movable-side tip of each of the telescopic cylinders 76.

The partition bar 71 serves to temporarily receive a subsequent folding web (web laminated body) which is folded by the web folding device 4 instead of the lifting table 50.
Similar to the presser bar 61, the partition bar 71 has a partition piece 71a that is laterally oriented and has a considerable length (for example, about 150 mm) in the upper portion. The partition bar 71 is used in a large number (the same number as the annular groove 42) at intervals between the annular grooves 42, 42 of the folding roll 41. or,
The partition bars 71, 71, ... Have their lower ends fixed to a single shaft 74. The shaft 74 is rotatably installed between the mounts 761.

Telescopic cylinder 7 of partition bar drive device 72
20 is supported by a mounting base 761 and the movable side of the telescopic cylinder 720 is connected to a lever mounted on a shaft 74. The shaft 74 can be reversibly rotated (the partition bar 71 is swung left and right) by expanding and contracting the expandable cylinder 720. The operation range of the partition bar 71 by the telescopic cylinder 720 is as shown in FIG. 17 or FIG.
However, the right retracted position (the position shown by the solid line) that does not interfere with the folding operation of the web and the left driving position where the front end of the partition 71a is about to be folded up to a predetermined depth between the folded webs (see FIG. 17 or FIG. It is set so that it can be swung between the position 21 and the position shown by the chain line in FIG.
The driving depth of the partition bar 71 can be adjusted by the telescopic cylinder 76 for advancing / retreating.

The lock device 77 is similar to that of the first partitioning device 6 and allows the operation of the partitioning bar 71 to the driving side to be instantaneously performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the lock device 77 has a lock member 79 pivotally attached to a mounting base 761 and a telescopic cylinder (which can be a solenoid) 78 for rocking the lock member 79. There is. The lock member 79 restricts the extension operation of the telescopic cylinder 720 of the partition bar drive device 72. As shown in FIG. 17, the lock device 77 is configured such that when the telescopic cylinder 720 of the partition bar drive device 72 is in the contracted state, the telescopic cylinder 78 of the lock device 77 is contracted so that the lock member 79 causes the telescopic cylinder 720 to move. By locking the rod and, on the other hand, extending the telescopic cylinder 78 of the locking device 77, the locking member 7
The lock is released by rotating 9 in an arc.

Further, in the first partition device 6 and the second partition device 7, as shown in FIG. 21, the driving height of the holding bar 61 of the first partition device 6 is set to the driving of the partition bar 71 of the second partition device 7. The position is higher than the height. And
At almost the same time as the pressing bar 61 is driven (before the partition bar 71 is driven), the lifting / lowering drive device 52 instantaneously moves the position to a position slightly lower than the driving height of the partition bar 71 (only in the range of the height H). I am trying to lower it.

As described above, when the presser bar 61 is driven from above the normal driving position (slightly lower than the driving height of the partition bar 71), the pressing piece 61a of the pressing bar 61 is moved as shown in FIG. , The upper and lower folding webs opened in the form of ">" can be driven with a sufficient margin, and the front end of the pressing piece 61a does not push the web piece WS forward (or the pushing range is slight). . Also, when the folded web piece WS is removed from the folding roll 41 side by the packer finger 47, as shown in FIG.
The central portion of S may be bulged upward due to the wind, but even when the central portion of the web piece WS bulges upward in this manner, reference numeral 61a ′ in FIG. As shown by, the pressing piece 61a can be driven on the upper side of the raised portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent problems such as deformation, displacement, and damage of the folding web (particularly the uppermost folding web of the quantitative web laminate) due to the pressing of the pressing bar 61. Further, since the pressing bar 61 is rapidly lowered by a predetermined height H almost at the same time as the pressing of the pressing bar 61 (before the partition bar 71 is driven), the pressing bar 61 is moved to the high position as described above. Even if it is designed to be driven from the
Does not get in the way of the partition bar 71 to be driven next.

The lifting drive device 52 of the lifting table 50 is
The servo motor 53 operates as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 15 or 16, while the folding webs are sequentially stacked on the lifting table 50, the lifting table 5
0 is finely moved continuously or intermittently according to the web laminating speed. Then, a predetermined number of web pieces are folded and stacked on the elevating table 50 and the presser bar 61 is driven, and at the same time, the elevating table 50 is instantaneously moved to a position 50 'in FIG. After descending, the elevating table 50 is descended to the discharge height position shown in FIG. 25 at a normal descending speed, and then the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 is discharged, and then at a predetermined speed as shown in FIG. It operates to raise to the next web stack receiving position shown in.

By the way, when the folding table fine motion descending speed is constant when the folding webs are stacked on the elevating table 50, the operating speed of the apparatus is changed.
The bulk density of the web laminated body X laminated on the elevating table 50 is changed. That is, if the fine movement descent rate of the lifting table 50 is constant, the bulk of the quantitative web laminated body Y laminated on the lifting table 50 becomes too large (the bulk density becomes low) when the operating speed is slow. On the contrary, when the operating speed is fast, the bulk of the identified amount web laminate Y becomes too small (bulk density becomes high) and the texture may be impaired. Further, if the above-described fine movement descending speed is kept constant, the thickness of the web used changes (for example, a thin web for tissue, a thick web for towels, etc.).
In addition, the volume, texture, etc. of the manufactured quantitative web laminated body Y also change depending on the presence or absence of embossing. In order to improve the occurrence of such a phenomenon (changes in the volume, texture, etc. of the quantitative web laminated body Y), in the quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus shown in the figure, the fine motion descending speed of the lifting table 50 is adjusted by checking the operating state. However, it can be adjusted by an external operation.

That is, in this quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus, the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 of the lift drive device 52 when the lift table 50 is slightly moved down is specified by a digital method from the outside, whereby the lift table is moved. 5
The fine movement descent speed of 0 can be adjusted appropriately.
For example, a quantitative web laminated body Y for a boxed tissue as shown in FIG. 36 (usually 200 sets with a total thickness of 70 to 8).
(0 mm), it is advisable to set the fine movement descent speed of the lifting table 50 to such a speed that the lifting table 50 is lowered by, for example, 0.35 to 0.4 mm each time one web piece is folded on one side. In this way, if the fine movement descending speed of the lifting table 50 can be adjusted from the outside, the volume of the manufactured quantitative web laminated body Y can be adjusted to a suitable range and the texture of the folding web can be improved, and Since the descending speed can be adjusted while observing the operating state, it is possible to change the bulk density to a desired one even during operation.

The lift drive device 75 of the second partition device 7 is
After the partition bar 71 is driven by the servo motor 751, the partition bar 71 (actually, the base block 75
3) is finely moved continuously or intermittently in accordance with the web laminating speed, and as shown in FIG.
Then, after the web laminated body X on the partition bar 71 is replaced and the partition bar 71 retreats, the partition bar 71 is operated to move up to the initial position shown in FIG. The fine movement lowering speed of the partition bar 71 is always set to be equal to the fine movement lowering speed of the lifting table 50. That is, the servo motor 75 for slightly lowering the partition bar 71
The rotation speed of 1 can be set at the same time by the operation of setting the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 when the lifting table 50 is slightly moved down. The speeds (the fine movement descending speeds of the lifting table 50 and the partition bar 71) can be set at the same time and at the same speed.

Further, in the quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, when the quantitative web laminated body Y is stored in the paper box B for use, the uppermost web piece WS is used.
In order to make it easy to take out the paper from the take-out port Bb of the paper box B, the folding devices 15, 16 (FIG. 1) for folding the upper half of the uppermost web piece WS into a half width (folding part WSd).
6, FIG. 25, and FIG. 27) are provided. The folding devices 15 and 16 are provided on the left and right sides of the lifting table lifting portion near the upper part, and the telescopic cylinders 151 and 161 respectively.
The push plates 152 and 162 are attached to the movable-side tip portion of the configuration. It should be noted that each of the push plates 152 and 162 is formed by arranging small-width bars side by side at a small interval. Then, as shown in FIG. 24, the folding devices 15, 16 separate the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 from the subsequent folding webs, and thereafter, the web laminated body X laminated on the partition bar 71. The hanging piece WS ₂ of the web piece WS located at the bottom of the is processed as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 25, first, the telescopic cylinder 151 of the left-side folding device 15 is extended, the hanging piece is folded back to the right side by the pushing plate 152, and is brought close to the lower surface of the partition bar 71, and then the right-side folding is performed. Telescopic cylinder 161 of device 16
Is extended and the folded piece previously folded back by the push plate 162 is folded to the left by half the width. Then, while being folded back in half, the entire web laminated body X on the partition bar 71 is supported by each support bar 19 of the temporary receiving device 19 described below.
1 After remounting, the telescopic cylinder 15 of each folding device
1, 161 is contracted to reduce the width of the lowermost half of the web piece to a half width, and the support bar 19
Can be supported on one. In addition, this folded part WS
d is formed on the lower surface side of the quantitative web laminated body Y, but by turning the quantitative web laminated body Y upside down in a later step as will be described later, as shown in FIG.
d can be positioned on the upper surface side.

The temporary receiving device 19 includes a large number of support bars 19
1 are connected side by side in the front-rear direction with a small space therebetween, while the supporting bar 191 is moved forward and backward by the telescopic cylinder 192. It is configured so that it can be raised and lowered. Lifting drive device 193
Moves the belt 195 up and down by the servomotor 194, and the base block 196 is attached to the belt 195.
Is installed. A telescopic cylinder 192 is attached to the base block 196 so that the support bar 191 can be moved up and down together with the telescopic cylinder 192 by operating the servomotor 194 in either forward or reverse directions. . And this temporary receiving device 1
As shown in FIG. 25, 9 is a state in which the support bar 191 is positioned below the push plates 152 and 162 of the folding devices 15 and 16, and first, the telescopic cylinder 192 is extended so that the support bar is denoted by reference numeral 191 '. As shown in the figure, the web is placed on the partition bar 71 just below the web laminated body X, and then the servo motor 194 moves the support bar upward to a position 191 ″. After receiving the laminate X, the partition bar 71 is retracted, and the empty lifting table 50 is moved upward as shown in Fig. 27, and the lifting table 50 receives the web laminate X on the support bar 191. Then, the telescopic cylinder 192 is contracted and the support bar 191 is retracted (the state shown in FIG. 28).

In this temporary receiving device 19, the support bar 1
Immediately after the web laminated body X is supported by 91 until the web laminated body X on the support bar 191 is received by the elevating table 50, the elevating drive device 193 (servo motor 194) finely moves at a speed corresponding to the web folding speed. Can be lowered. Further, the setting / changing operation of the fine movement lowering speed of the temporary receiving device 19 at this time is simultaneously performed by the setting / changing operation of the fine movement lowering speed of the elevating table 50.

Further, this quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus includes:
As shown in FIG. 17, FIG. 23, FIG. 24, and FIG. 26, they are provided at the tips of the holding bars 61, 61, ... An air blow device 13 is provided for blowing air from each air nozzle 18.

A plurality of air nozzles 18 mounted on the mounting base 761 of the second partitioning device 7 are used at predetermined intervals in the depth direction in FIGS. 17 and 23 to 26.
Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the air nozzle 18 is located at a position opposite to the holding bar 61 from a position close to the lifting table lifting area on the side opposite to the holding bar 61 while the lifting table 50 on which the quantitative web laminated body Y is placed is lowered. The air B is blown in a substantially horizontal direction on the side of the lifting table lifting area. Further, the installation height of the air nozzle 18 is determined by the mounting base 7
Although 61 is slightly moved up and down by being slightly moved down together with the partition bar 71, the quantitative web laminated body Y
When lowering the lifting table 50 on which the
The height is set such that the upper surface of the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 corresponds to the horizontal direction shortly before 0 reaches the lowermost moving position (the discharging position in FIG. 26).
The operation of the air nozzle 18 will be described later.

The air blower 13 comprises a blower 130.
Compressed air from the air nozzle 18 is provided through the two pipes 132 and 181 branched from the supply pipe 131 at the tip of the holding bar 61 and the lower end of the mounting base 761, respectively.
It is designed to be blown out from each.

That is, the blower 130 is provided on the presser bar 61 side.
Compressed air from the supply pipe 131, the one pipe 132,
After passing through branch pipes 133 that are branched from the pipe 132 for each of the presser bars 61, 61, ...
Each of the pressing pieces 61a is made to blow out through 34. On the air nozzle 18 side, compressed air from the blower 130 is blown out from the air nozzle 18 through the supply pipe 131 and the other pipe 181.

In this embodiment, air is blown out from the presser bar 61 side by the solenoid valve 135 provided in the pipe 132.
(See FIGS. 23, 24, and 26), immediately after the presser bar 61 is driven between the folding webs as shown in FIG. 23, the quantitative web laminated body Y is extruded by the pusher 81 as shown in FIG. Is carried out (the quantitative web laminated body on the elevating table 50 is extruded from the elevating table 50).

In this embodiment, air is blown out from the air nozzle 18 side after the lift table 50 starts to move downward by the solenoid valve 180 (see FIGS. 23, 24 and 26) provided in the pipe 181. For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the time from before the quantitative web laminated body Y on the lifting table 50 is lowered to the installation height of the air nozzle 18 to when the lifting table 50 is lowered to the lowermost moving position as shown in FIG. I'm just trying to do it. In addition, this air nozzle 1
As shown in FIG. 25 in particular, the air blowing by 8 is effective when the upper surface portion of the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 passes the installation height of the air nozzle 18 (the action will be described later). ).

The air blowout pressure (or blowout speed) from the tip end portion of each presser bar 61 and the air blowout pressure (or blowout speed) from the air nozzle 18 are respectively the pipes 132, 132.
It is advisable to provide a flow rate adjusting valve in 181 and adjust accordingly.

The air blowing from the tip of the presser bar 61 acts as follows in each stage.

First, when separating the quantitative web laminated body shown in FIG. 23, the folded piece W of the upper and lower web pieces to be separated is formed.
A part Aa of the blown air A flows between S ₁ and WS ₂ , so that the folded pieces WS ₁ and WS ₂ can be smoothly separated. That is, in the state where the web pieces are folded together, the folded pieces WS ₁ and WS ₂ of the web pieces on each side are joined together, and the folded pieces WS ₁ and WS ₂ are vertically arranged as shown in FIG. When they are to be separated, the folded pieces WS ₁ and WS ₂ are usually pulled toward each other by the frictional force between the folded pieces, so that the folded shape of the folded piece WS ₁ of the uppermost layer is disturbed. However, as described above, the presser bar 61
If air is blown from the tip of the folded back pieces, an air layer is formed between the folded back pieces, and the folded back pieces WS ₁ and WS ₂ can be smoothly separated. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that the folded shape of the folded piece WS ₁ of the separated web piece is less likely to be disturbed.

Next, in the lowering stage of the lifting table 50 shown in FIG. 24, the upper portion of the quantitative web laminated body Y is held by the holding bar 61, but the folded-up piece WS ₁ of the uppermost web piece is held by the holding bar 61. If the lowering speed of the lifting table 50 is higher than the speed (free fall speed) at which the folding piece WS ₁ moves downward due to its own weight, the folding piece WS _1
The downward movement speed due to the self-weight of ₁ cannot keep up with the downward movement speed of the lifting table 50, and the folding piece W at the uppermost portion.
S ₁ starts to follow while fluttering, and in the final downward movement, the folded piece WS ₁ may be rolled up or air may enter and rise. This tendency is particularly strong in the case of a thin web such as tissue paper. By the way, as shown in FIG. 24, when the air A is blown from the tip of the presser bar 61 during the downward movement of the lifting table 50, the uppermost web piece is folded back so as to wrap the tip of the presser bar 61. As a result, most of the air blown into the folded-back portion is reversed inside the folded-back portion and the folded-back piece WS
It will be released from the tip side of ₁ . At this time, the air outlet (the tip of the presser bar) in the folded portion
Although the pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure on the front side, the air is blown out to the outside on the air outlet side, so that the pressure becomes negative, and the folded piece WS ₁ is forcibly converged to the holding bar 61 side. be able to. Therefore, even if the lowering speed of the lifting table 50 is faster than the lowering speed (free fall speed) of the folding piece WS _{1 due} to its own weight, the folding piece WS ₁ is less likely to flutter during the downward movement of the lifting table 50. The folded back piece WS ₁ can be converged and superposed on the holding bar 61 in a state where it is stretched as normally as possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 26, when the elevating table 50 is lowered to the lowermost moving position, the presser bar 61 is slightly moved upward as indicated by reference numeral 61 ', and then the pusher 81 moves the elevating table 50 on the elevating table 50. The quantitative web laminated body Y is extruded. However, if air is blown from the tip of the presser bar 61 ′ at that time, the folded piece WS ₁ is slightly separated from the upper surface of the presser bar 61 by the air flow A. At the time of extruding the quantitative web laminated body Y, the folded piece WS ₁ is not pulled by the friction with the holding bar 61. Therefore,
Even if the quantitative web laminated body Y is extruded in a state in which the presser bar 61 is inserted between the uppermost folding webs, friction does not occur between the return piece WS ₁ and the presser bar 61, so that the return piece W
S ₁ is no longer disturbed by the presser bar 61,
When the folded back piece WS ₁ is normally spread, the folded piece WS ₁ converges on the upper portion of the quantitative web laminated body Y by its own weight.

The air blown out from the air nozzle 18 is
As shown in FIG. 25, when the quantitative web laminated body Y on the lifting table 50 passes downward through the installation height portion of the air nozzle 18, the web folding piece WS ₁ located at the top of the quantitative web laminated body Y ₁ Forcibly converges on the presser bar 61.
It is for polymerizing. That is, when air is not blown from the air nozzle 18, the lowering speed of the uppermost web folding piece WS ₁ of the lifting table 50 (the self-weight falling speed of the web folding piece WS ₁ and the holding bar 6 is
(1) The folding piece WS ₁
Becomes unable to keep up with the lowering speed of the lifting table 50, and the folded piece WS ₁ flickers,
An air nozzle 1 is provided near the upper surface of the fixed-quantity web laminate Y that is moving downward.
When the air B from 8 is blown, the uppermost folded piece WS ₁ can be forcibly converged to the holding bar 61 side by the air pressure. Therefore, even if the lowering speed of the lifting table 50 is further increased, the folding piece WS ₁ is forcibly forced by the lowering stroke of the lifting table 50 (the lowest movement position or immediately before it) and the freedom of the folding piece WS _{1 due} to its own weight. It can be pressed against the presser bar 61 side at a speed faster than the falling speed, and the folded back piece WS ₁ can be converged and superposed on the presser bar 61 in a more normally extended state. .

By the way, in the case of an insulating material such as paper, the web comes into contact with various devices such as air and rolls at the stage of manufacturing the base paper and the step of processing the base paper into a product (quantitative web laminate). Rubbing causes the folding webs to become charged with static electricity (especially when the winter is dry and dry). It should be noted that it is known that the static electricity charged on this type of web is mixed with a portion where a large number of (+) polarity ions are collected and a portion where a large number of (−) polarity ions are collected even in one web piece WS. Has been. Then, in the process of manufacturing the quantitative web laminated body Y, if the web is charged with static electricity or if the web is newly charged with static electricity, the following problems occur.

That is, when static electricity is charged on the folding web folded on the elevating table 50, the static electricity tends to cause the web pieces to stick to each other. In particular, for thin webs such as tissue paper, the quantitative web laminate Y
When a potential difference occurs between the uppermost web folding piece WS ₁ and the web located on the lower surface thereof, the web folding piece W 1
S ₁ may stick to the web underneath without proper spreading. For example, in the upper and lower webs, when charged parts of the same polarity come close to each other, the webs repel each other, and when charged parts of opposite polarity come close to each other, they become attracted to each other. The web folding piece WS ₁ may polymerize in a partially swollen state (see, for example, FIG. 7). In this way, when the long web of the folded back web is not stretched cleanly and the fixed length web laminate is cut into final product lengths,
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the uppermost web piece may not accurately become a square in a stretched state, which lowers the commercial value.

In order to improve such a problem, the quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment is provided with means for removing static electricity charged on the web located at the uppermost portion of the manufactured quantitative web laminated body Y. ing. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, FIG. 23, FIG. 24, and FIG. 26, the ion generator 14 is incorporated into the air blower 13 so that the air is blown from the tip of the holding bar 61 and the air nozzle 18. Air ions for removing static electricity are mixed and the air ions are sprayed on the uppermost folding web. As the ion generator 14, for example, pulse DC
It is preferable to use a method called a method in which (+) polar ions and (−) polar ions can be generated in a mixed state. Then, the mixed air ions generated by the ion generating device 14 and having the ions of (+) and (-) polarities mixed therein are sent into the supply pipe 131 of the air blow device 13 via the adjusting valve 14a, and are pressed. Air ions for static electricity removal are blown out together with the blown air A and B from the tip of the bar 61 and the air nozzle 18.

As described above, when the air ions for removing static electricity (mixed with ions of each polarity) are discharged together with the air A and B blown out from the tip of the presser bar 61 and the air nozzle 18, the air ions are maximized. By contacting the surface of the upper web and neutralizing the static electricity charged on the web, the static electricity can be removed from the web. That is, a portion where a large number of (+) polar ions are gathered and a portion where a large number of (-) polar ions are gathered are mixed on the web side, but there are also (+) polar ions in the blowing air A and B.
(−) Polar ions are mixed, and the (+) polar ions in the air A and B are attracted to the (+) polar ions on the web side, while the (−) polar ions are blown to the (−) polar ions on the web side. The (+) polar ions in the air A and B are attracted, and the bipolar static electricity charged on the web side is neutralized.

When the static electricity is removed from the web (particularly the uppermost folded web) in this manner, the folded-back piece WS ₁ located at the uppermost portion of the quantitative web laminated body is less likely to stick to the lower surface web, The folded piece naturally spreads easily, and even if the manufactured long fixed-quantity web laminate is cut into the final product lengths, the uppermost web piece is not deformed and cut.

By the way, when a predetermined number (for example, 100 sheets on one side, which is the number of products) of web pieces are folded on the lifting table 50, a count-up signal from the counting device (hereinafter referred to as a counter) 12 shown in FIG. S ₁ (Fig. 17)
Is issued to the controller 10, while the current driving speed detection value (rotational speed detection signal S _{2 of the} folding roll 41) is output from the driving speed detection device (hereinafter referred to as a rotation speed sensor) 11 that detects the driving speed. It is emitted toward the controller 10.

The first partitioning device 6 and the second partitioning device 7 are adapted to start their operations based on the count-up signal S ₁ from the counter 12, respectively. The operation start timings of the partition devices 6 and 7 (the presser bar drive device 62 and the partition bar drive device 72) are set to sequentially increase as the rotation speed detection value (signal S ₂ ) from the rotation speed sensor 11 increases, and the presser foot is pressed. The bar 61 and the partition bar 71 are always driven at appropriate timing regardless of the change in the driving speed. The partition bar 71 is set so as to be driven in slightly after the pressing of the presser bar 61 (by the time when the folding roll 41 rotates at an angle of 45 °). Will be mainly described. That is, in FIG.
₁ , V ₂ and V ₃ indicate different operating speeds of the manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment. For example, V ₁ is the peripheral speed of the folding roll 41 (in other words, the web traveling speed).
At a low speed of about 50 m / min, V ₂ is 1 / min
00m about the middle driving speed, V ₃ is the same per minute 150m
The high speed limit operating speeds are shown respectively.
Further, reference numeral T ₁ is a time point when a count-up signal is transmitted from the counter 12, reference numeral T ₂ is a time point when the presser bar driving device 62 starts operating in the bar driving direction, and reference numeral T ₃ is a presser bar 6.
1 shows the time when the driving of 1 is completed. Also, the symbol P
₁ web position in the count-up signal origination T _1, reference numeral P ₀ represents the web position at the bar driving proper timing T ₃ of the presser bar 61. The time T ₁ at which the count-up signal is transmitted is the time when the counter 12 counts up the target number of web pieces regardless of the operating speed of the apparatus. Further, the time from the operation start time T ₂ of the presser bar driving device 62 to the driving completion time T ₃ of the presser bar 61 is also constant.

In this control method, as shown in FIG. 22, as the operating speed of the device increases, the presser bar drive device 62 starts from the count-up signal transmission time point T _1.
The time T ₂ at which the operation starts is gradually increased, and even if the web traveling distance after the simultaneous point T ₂ changes like the symbols U ₁ , U ₂ and U ₃ , the pressing of the presser bar 61 always causes the web to move. The process is completed when the bar driving proper position P ₀ is reached. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the counter 12
Generates a count-up signal S ₁ , the signal S ₁ is input to the controller 10, while the rotation speed sensor 11 outputs a current operation speed (rotation speed of the folding roll 41) detection signal S ₂ of the controller 1 to the controller 1.
Input to 0. Then, from the controller 10 to the presser bar drive device 62, the operation start signal S ₃ , at the timing corresponding to the current operating speed (for example, V _{1 to} V ₃ ).
Output S ₄ . The presser bar driving device 62 has a telescopic cylinder 620 and a locking device 67, and the locking device 6 is preceded by the operation start signal S ₃ to the telescopic cylinder 620.
The operation start signal S ₄ to the telescopic cylinder 68 of No. 7 is output with a slight delay. Immediately after that, the controller 10 outputs the respective operation start signals S ₅ and S ₆ to the telescopic cylinder 720 of the partition bar driving device 72 and the telescopic cylinder 78 of the locking device 77 with a slight time difference. In this embodiment, the rotation speed detection value detected by the rotation speed sensor 11 is divided into a large number of minute ranges, and the operation to the presser bar drive device 62 (and the partition bar drive device 72) is started for each range. I try to assign timing.

FIG. 22 shows an example of the amount of change in the operation start timing for the bar driving device (for example, the presser bar driving device 62) corresponding to the change in the operating speed of the device.
When the operating speed of the device (peripheral speed of the folding roll 41) is 50 m / min, which is indicated by V ₁ , the time Tb ₁ from the above-mentioned count-up signal transmission time T ₁ to the bar driving device operation start time T ₂ is 66/1000. and second, the time Tb ₂ from the count-up signal transmission time T ₁ when min 100m of the driving speed is indicated by V ₂ to the working start time T ₂ of the bar driving device and 33/1000 seconds, the operation speed Count-up signal transmission point T at 150 m / min indicated by V ₃
Time Tb ₃ from ₁ to time point T _{2 at} which the bar driving device starts operating
Is set to be 22/1000 seconds, and the operation start timing of the bar drive device is set earlier as the operating speed of the entire device becomes faster.

When the operation start timings of the presser bar driving device 62 and the partition bar driving device 72 are controlled as described above in accordance with the operating speed of the entire device, a predetermined number of web pieces are folded on the lifting table 50. Each time it is caught, the presser bar 61 and the partition bar 71 can be driven between the upper and lower folding webs at proper timings, and the webs are damaged due to the deviation of the driving timings of the bars 61 and 71, or the troubles such as the failure of the driving. Will not occur. Therefore, it becomes possible to speed up the operation speed of the apparatus to, for example, the maximum capacity of the web folding by the web folding apparatus 4. In this quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus, even with a thin web such as a tissue paper, a steady operation speed (surface peripheral speed of the folding roll 41 = running speed of the web material)
Can be processed at about 130 m / min (80-90 m / min in the past), and 150 m / min at the critical high speed.
It is possible to perform processing of about 100 m / min in the past.

Below the lifting portion of the lifting table 50,
A discharging device 8 for discharging the separated quantitative web laminated body Y to the next process side is provided on the lifting table 50. As shown in FIG. 29, the discharging device 8 includes a pusher 81 for extruding the quantitative web laminated body Y on the elevating table 50 lowered to a predetermined downward movement position, and a conveyor for conveying the extruded quantitative web laminated body. 82.

Further, in this embodiment, a web laminate processing device 80 is provided between the pusher 81 and the conveyer 82. The web laminated body processing apparatus 80 compresses the quantitative web laminated body Y to eliminate the air between the folded webs (to reduce the bulk), and, as will be described later, forms a web piece WS at the upper end of the quantitative web laminated body. The processing is performed when the web protrusion WSa occurs. still,
The cause of the web protrusion WSa and the specific configuration of the web laminate processing apparatus 80 will be described in detail later.

In this embodiment, the pusher 81 is the same as that shown in FIG.
A single telescopic cylinder 8 extending in two stages as shown in 0
1a. That is, this telescopic cylinder 81a
In FIG. 30, the push plate is located on the left side of the ascending / descending position of the ascending / descending table 50 denoted by reference numeral 81b (see FIG. 2).
9)), an intermediate extension state in which the push plate is advanced to the position indicated by reference numeral 81b '(state in FIG. 34), and the push plate is indicated by reference numeral 8b.
1b ″, the pusher 81 can be stopped at each of the three positions of the most extended state (state of FIG. 35) in which the pusher 81 is extended to the position shown in FIG. Moves from the position 81b to the position 81b '), as shown in FIG.
The quantitative web laminated body Y on 0 is extruded to the holding body 804 side,
When the second stage is extended (the push plate moves from the position 81b ′ to the position 81b ″ in FIG. 30), the quantitative web laminated body Y on the holding body 804 side is conveyed in a bead shape as shown in FIG. It is adapted to be extruded to the 82 side.

Further, the telescopic cylinder 8 of the pusher 81
1a is extended at the same speed as the traveling speed of the conveyor 82, especially when the second stage is extended (the push plate moves from 81b 'to 81b "in FIG. 30). In the example, the traveling speed of the transport conveyor 82 and the extension speed of the pusher 81 (extendable cylinder 81a) are set to be about 13 m / min.

As described above, when the extension speed of the telescopic cylinder 81a is made equal to the traveling speed of the conveyor 82, the quantitative web laminated body Y extruded from the holder 804 side to the conveyor 82 side is transferred onto the conveyor 82. Can be transferred to the normal posture. For example, when the extrusion speed of the quantitative web laminated body Y is faster than the traveling speed of the conveyor 82, when the quantitative web laminated body is placed on the conveyor 82, the lower surface of the quantitative web laminated body and the conveyor 82. A frictional force is generated between the upper surface and the upper surface of the quantitative web laminated body due to a speed difference between the upper surface and the upper surface of the quantitative web laminated body. When it is slow, only the lower side of the quantitative web laminated body placed on the conveyor 82 moves forward rapidly due to the frictional force, and the upper portion of the quantitative web laminated body is inclined rearward. As described above, when the quantitative web laminated body is fed in a state in which it is inclined (or tilted) forward or backward, the laminated state collapses and, for example, as shown in FIG. It causes a trouble that it can not be stored well.

The quantitative web laminated body manufacturing apparatus of the above-described embodiment successively and quantitatively manufactures the quantitative web laminated body Y in the following manner.

First, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 9, when the original machine driving device 9 is operated, the web feeding device 1, 1, the web cutting device 2, 2, the transfer device 3, 3, and the web folding device 4 are synchronized. Driven. At this time, the current driving speed (signal S ₂ ) is input to the controller 10 by the rotation speed sensor 11 (FIG. 14). Further, when the original machine driving device 9 is operated, continuous webs W and W are continuously fed from the two systems of the original rolls R and R by the web feeding devices 1 and 1, respectively, and as shown in FIG. After the continuous webs W and W were cut into web pieces of a predetermined length by the web cutting devices 2 and 2, respectively, the protrusions 32 of the transfer roll 31 and the recessed grooves 25 of the anvil roll 23 were encountered as shown in FIG. Sometimes the web piece WS
A pushing streak WSc (see FIG. 19) is formed at an intermediate position in the traveling direction of. Web pieces WS, W with push bars WSc on each side
As shown in FIG. 12, S is sent between both folding rolls 41, 41 of the web folding device 4 and is sequentially folded there in a zigzag pattern. At this time, the lift table 50 is moved up and down by the lift drive device 52 (servo motor 53).
The folding webs, which are continuously or intermittently slightly moved by means of a zigzag, and are folded in a zigzag pattern, are sequentially moved up and down.
0 stacked. At this time, the folding webs that are sequentially folded are neatly aligned because they are guided by the left and right side guides 17 as shown in FIG. 15, and the upper portions 17a of the side guides 17 are folded. Since it is inserted into the annular groove 42 by a predetermined depth, trouble such as paper jamming does not occur.

When a predetermined number of web pieces (for example, 100 pieces on one side and a total of 200 pieces) of web pieces are folded on the elevating table 50, the counter 12 (FIG. 14) for counting them.
The count-up signal (signal S ₁ ) from the controller 1
It is emitted toward 0. Then, as shown in FIG.
Based on the count-up signal, the controller 10 first outputs a signal S ₃ for extending the telescopic cylinder 620 of the first partitioning device 6 and then the locking device 67.
A signal S ₄ is issued to extend the telescopic cylinder 68 of
As shown in FIG. 20, the holding bar 61 is driven from the state shown by the solid line to the position shown by the broken line (reference numeral 61 '). At this time,
Since the pressing piece 61a of the pressing bar 61 is driven from a position higher than the driving height of the partition bar 71 (position 71 'in FIG. 21), the pressing bar 61 is opened in a ">" shape. It can be driven with a margin between the upper and lower folding webs. Also, almost at the same time as this pressing bar driving operation,
As shown in FIG. 21, the servo motor 5 of the lifting drive device 52
3 is driven at high speed for a momentary time to rapidly move down the driven presser bar 61 by a small height H (to a height of 61 ', which is slightly lower than the drive height of the partition bar 71). Then, immediately after that, a signal S for extending the telescopic cylinder 720 of the second partition device 7 from the controller 10 is issued.
₅ (FIG. 17) is issued, a signal S ₆ for extending the telescopic cylinder 78 of the locking device 77 is issued, and the partition bar 71 is moved from the solid line shown state to the chain line indicated position (reference numeral 71 ′) as shown in FIG. ).

As shown in FIG. 22, the driving start timing of the presser bar 61 and the partition bar 71, that is, the various operation start signals S _{3 to} S ₆ from the controller 10 are transmitted at an earlier timing as the operating speed becomes faster. Thus, the presser bar 61 and the partition bar 71 can be driven at appropriate timings accordingly. Immediately after the presser bar 61 and the partition bar 71 are driven in, respectively, the presser bar 61 is slightly moved downward with respect to the elevating table 50 as indicated by reference numeral 61 'in FIG. The quantitative web laminated body Y on the lifting table 50 is pressed by the bar 61 '.

After that, the servo motor 53 of the elevating / lowering drive device 52 lowers the elevating table 50 on which the quantitative web laminated body Y is placed to a discharge height position shown in FIG. 25 at a predetermined speed. Although it is slower than the descending speed of the portion H, it has a speed considerably higher than the free falling speed of the quantitative web laminated body Y by gravity. Immediately after the descent is started, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, air A is blown from the tip of the presser bar 61 by the air blower 13 to suppress the disturbance of the overlapping state of the uppermost web piece WS _1. On the other hand, in the descending stroke of the lifting table 50, the air B is also blown out from the air nozzle 18 provided on the mounting base 761 of the second partitioning device 7 as shown in FIGS. It acts to forcibly converge ₁ on the presser bar 61. Therefore, as described above, the lifting table 5 is moved at a high speed exceeding the free falling speed of the uppermost web folding piece WS _1.
Even if 0 is dropped, the web folding piece WS ₁ does not flicker until the final stage of the descent process, and the laminated state of the quantitative web laminated body Y can be maintained well. In addition, the air blown out from the tip of the presser bar 61 and the air nozzle 18 A, B
Air ions for removing static electricity are mixed in,
The static electricity charged on the web is removed by the air ions in the blown air, so that the web folding piece WS ₁ can be prevented from sticking to the web on the lower surface side.

On the other hand, when the elevating table 50 is lowered as described above, the temporary receiving device 19 is operated in the upper portion to move the web laminated body X supported by the partition bar 71, as shown in FIG. Support bar 191 of the temporary receiving device 19
Can be replaced on top.

When the elevating table 50 is lowered to the lowermost moving position, first, as shown in FIG.
