Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting device for cutting a flexible sheet such as toilet paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, flexible sheets such as toilet paper and paper towels are generally supplied in a rolled state. Such a sheet roll is mounted on a roll holder and used by appropriately cutting it with a cutter while pulling out the rolled sheet. Here, as a cutting device,
For example, in the lower edge of the roll cover that is rotatably provided on the roll holder, a straight blade-shaped or saw blade-shaped cutter portion is formed, and the pulled-out sheet is applied to the cutter portion and is torn off. Various types of sheets are used, such as a type in which a cutting blade is inserted between the receiving blades arranged side by side on one side of the pulled out sheet and the cutting blade is cut by the shearing force.

[0003]

In the cutting device as described above, for example, in the case where the cutter portion is formed on the edge of the roll cover, the cutting work is not performed while the roll cover is pressed against the sheet roll by hand or the like. And there is a difficulty in cutting the sheet well. In this case, if you try to forcibly tear off the sheet without pressing the roll cover, you may fail to cut the sheet, and a lot of sheets may be unwound from the roll with a momentum in rotation. . On the other hand, in the case of the type in which the cutting blade is inserted between the receiving blades to cut, the sheet slips and is caught in the gap between the cutting blade and the receiving blade, and the cutting often fails. As described above, in either method, there is a problem that the certainty of cutting is slightly lacking.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cutting device capable of surely cutting a flexible sheet such as toilet paper.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the flexible sheet cutting device of the present invention comprises:
It is characterized by including the following requirements. Cutting blade: Cuts flexible sheets such as toilet paper. Receiving blade: It is provided on the opposite side of the cutting blade across the flexible sheet, and is arranged side by side at a prescribed interval in the plate thickness direction of itself, and the cutting blade relatively moves in and out of the gap formed between them. To do. Base part: provided outside the blades arranged side by side. Blade guide member: Provided on both sides of the cutting blade so as to be able to relatively approach and separate from the base portion, sandwich the flexible sheet with the base portion, and guide the cutting blade in and out of the receiving blade in that state. . Sheet pressing member: It is arranged further outside of the blade guide member and is provided so as to be relatively close to and away from the base portion, and holds the flexible sheet between the base portion. Then, the flexible sheet is sandwiched between the blade guide member, the sheet pressing member, and the base portion, and the cutting blade relatively enters between the receiving blades to cut the flexible sheet.

In the above-mentioned cutting device, the flexible sheet is sandwiched between the sheet pressing member and the base portion, and in this state, the cutting blade enters between the receiving blades to cut the flexible sheet. As a result, the flexible sheet becomes less slippery and cutting can be performed smoothly and reliably. Further, the cutting blade enters the receiving blade while being guided by the blade guide member, so that the cutting blade and the receiving blade are surely engaged with each other.
The blade guide member also functions as a pressing member that holds the flexible sheet with the base portion. That is, since the flexible sheet is sandwiched between the base portion by both the sheet pressing member and the blade guide member at the time of cutting, slipping of the flexible sheet described above is less likely to occur, and the reliability of cutting is excellent. .

Next, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member can be provided with elastic members for urging the both members toward the base portion. In this case, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member are positioned such that their tip portions project beyond the cutting edge of the cutting blade in the state of being relatively separated from the base portion, and the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member relatively approach the base portion. The flexible sheet is sandwiched between the section and the section. Then, in this state, the base portion pushes back the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member relative to the cutting blade against the biasing force of the elastic member, so that the cutting blade receives the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member. It relatively projects from the member and enters between the blades. As a result, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member are pressed against the base portion by the urging force of the elastic member, so that the gripping force of the flexible sheet is increased and the certainty of cutting can be further increased.

In the above construction, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member are attached to the supporting member, and the supporting member is provided on the opposite side of the supporting member from the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member together with the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member. An elastic member that urges the base portion side can be attached. As a result, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member together with the support member approach the base portion.
The spaces are separated, and the mechanism can be made simpler. Here, the sheet pressing member is attached to the supporting member via the auxiliary elastic member, and the tip end portion thereof is positioned so as to project from the tip end portion of the blade guide member in the state of being relatively separated from the base portion. Can be configured to. With this configuration, when approaching the base portion, the sheet pressing member is first pressed against the base portion to sandwich the flexible sheet, and then the blade guide member is pressed. As described above, since the sheet pressing member and the blade guide member hold the flexible sheet at a timing shifted from each other before the cutting blade enters the receiving blade, slippage occurs in the flexible sheet. The probability is further reduced and the certainty of cutting is increased.

Further, in the above structure, the cutting blade, the blade guide member, the sheet pressing member and the supporting member can be covered with the cover member which is open on the side facing the base portion. In this case, the cutting blade, together with its cover member, is relatively moved toward and away from the base portion. on the other hand,
The elastic member is disposed inside the cover member between the inner surface of the cover member and the support member, and the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member are relatively close to the base portion to compress the cover member and the support member. Thus, the blade guide member and the sheet pressing member are urged against the base portion. In this configuration, the cover member integrally comes close to and away from the base portion together with the cutting blade, the blade guide member, and the sheet pressing member, so that the entire mechanism can be made compact.

Further, elastic members for adjusting the receiving blade pressure can be arranged on both sides of the receiving blade. In this case, when the cutting blade enters between the receiving blades while displacing at least one of the receiving blades in the thickness direction, the corresponding blade-pressure adjusting elastic member elastically deforms and cuts. The pressure from the blade is absorbed through the receiving blade. According to this configuration, even if the cutting blade tries to enter the receiving blade while deviating in the width direction of the gap for some reason, the pressure from the cutting blade to the receiving blade is adjusted by the receiving blade pressure adjusting elastic member. Since it is absorbed, it is possible to smoothly cut the flexible sheet, and when the cutting blade retracts from the receiving blade, the receiving blade pressure adjusting elastic member elastically returns to return the receiving blade to the original position, It does not hinder subsequent cutting.

Further, the cutting device of the present invention includes a roll holder for rotatably holding a sheet roll formed by winding a flexible sheet, and a sheet feeding mechanism for feeding the flexible sheet from the sheet roll mounted on the roll holder. ,
A cutting drive unit that cuts the flexible sheet by relatively moving the cutting blade and the receiving blade close to and away from each other, and a control unit that controls the feeding of the flexible sheet by the sheet feeding mechanism and the cutting of the flexible sheet by the cutting drive unit. The control means may be provided with a sensor that outputs a drive command signal for driving the sheet feeding mechanism and the cutting drive means. This makes it possible to automatically perform the step of feeding out the flexible sheet with a predetermined length and cutting the flexible sheet with the cutting blade and the receiving blade. Here, the sensor may be configured to detect at least a part of the body (for example, hand) of the user of the apparatus and output the drive command signal described above.

And a cutting blade drive motor 35 (see FIG. 2) are connected. A rotation sensor 39 that detects the number of rotations of the cutting blade drive motor 35 is also connected to the control unit 37. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the rotation sensor 39 is an optical sensor that passes through a notch 40a (or slit) of a detection wheel 40 that is directly or indirectly connected to a drive shaft of a motor via a rotation transmission member. It is possible to use a sensor 41, or a structure that is detected by a proximity switch, a limit switch, or the like.

The operation of the cutting device 1 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 2A, first, the flexible sheet roll 5 is set on the holder portion 7. That is, the roller 1
1 is separated from the drive roller 10 and the roll 5
The sheet 55 is pulled out from the sheet and is hung down between the rollers 10 and 11 and between the cutting blade 19 of the sheet cutting mechanism 18 and the receiving blade 20 (FIG. 5). When the roller 11 is tilted toward the drive roller 10 in this state, the sheet 55 is sandwiched between the two and the setting of the roll 5 is completed.

Then, the sensor 6 (FIG. 1) sends a drive command signal to the control section 37 by detecting the user's hand or the like in this state, and the control section 37 receives the command signal and causes the sheet feeding motor 12 to operate. Activate. As a result, the sheet 55 is pulled out from the roll 5 by the rollers 10 and 11 and is fed downward. On the other hand, when the user retracts the hand or the like and the sensor 6 no longer detects it, the control unit 37 stops the operation of the sheet feeding motor 12, and instead operates the cutting blade drive motor 35. That is, the sensor 6
The pull-out length of the sheet 55 can be adjusted by appropriately changing the time for detecting the hands and the like. FIG.
As shown in 0, the rotation sensor 38 for detecting the rotation speed of the sheet feeding motor 12 is connected to the control unit 37, and the sheet 55 is delivered when the detected rotation speed reaches a preset value. May be configured to be stopped. Further, the timer 75 may be connected instead of the rotation sensor 37, and the delivery of the sheet 55 may be stopped when the time measured by the timer 75 reaches a predetermined time.

As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 9 (a),
The cutting blade 19 stands by in a state of being separated from the receiving blade 20, but the drive transmitting arm 32 is pushed out by the drive transmitting gear 33 by the operation of the cutting blade drive motor 35, and the cutting blade 19 is moved relative to the receiving blade 20. The approach starts together with the cover member 29. With the approach, first, the sheet pressing member 2
5 abuts on the base portion 23 via the flexible sheet 55.
Thereafter, the sheet pressing member 25 is pressed back relative to the cutting blade 19 while compressing the auxiliary elastic member 28 with the support member 26, and the elastic force of the auxiliary elastic member 28 causes the flexible sheet 55 to move the flexible sheet 55 to the base portion 23. Hold it between. Then, by further approaching, the blade guide member 2
The tip end of 4 contacts the flexible sheet 55, and thereafter, the blade guide member 24 is pushed back relative to the cutting blade 19 by the base portion 23 via the flexible sheet 55. Along with this, the elastic member 27 is compressed between the support member 26 and the cover member 29, and the elastic return force of the elastic member 27 causes the blade guide member 24 to sandwich the flexible sheet 55 with the base portion 23.

And by continuing to approach further,
The cutting blade 19 enters the gap 20a of the receiving blade 20 while being guided by the blade guide member 24 and cuts the flexible sheet 55 to be in the state shown in FIG. 5C. When the cutting blade 19 tries to enter the receiving blade 20 while shifting in the width direction of the gap, the receiving blade 20 on the corresponding side is displaced outward and the receiving blade 20 from the cutting blade 19 is moved. The pressure on the blade is absorbed by the pressure adjusting rubber 21 (the cutting blade 19 receives the receiving blade 20.
When retracted from, the pressure adjusting rubber 21 elastically returns and the receiving blade 20 returns to the original position). Then, in this state, FIG.
As shown in (b), the drive transmission gear 33 is in a state in which it has rotated almost half from the state in FIG.
After that, the process of pulling back the drive transmission arm 32 is performed. As a result, the cutting blade 19 shifts from approaching to separating, and the blade guide member 24 and the sheet pressing member 25 are sequentially retracted in the reverse order from the approaching time due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 27 and the auxiliary elastic member 28. Return to the original position shown in a). In the above state, the controller 37 (FIGS. 2 and 10) stops the rotation of the cutting blade drive motor 35 and waits for the next operation.

As shown in FIG. 12, the holder portion for holding the roll 5 may be a roll receiving portion 42 formed in the case 2 in a shape that follows the lower surface of the roll 5, and this roll is formed. The sheet roll 5 may be rotatably supported on the receiving portion 42.
