Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to continuously perform automatic work, by providing a constitution table having a suction mechanism for releasing a prepreg from stacked prepregs one at a time, a mechanism for perfectly releasing the sucked prepreg from the lower surface side thereof, a sucking feed mechanism and an aligning mechanism. CONSTITUTION:Prepreg materials A-D are inserted in the sections of an apparatus frame 5 from a material inserting conveyor 1 and raised to a reference height by an elevator driving source 2. Suction devices 3 are fallen to suck the prepreg materials A-D one at a time and raised to perfectly release the prepreg materials A-D one at a time by discharge type release jigs 4 and feed suction devices 8 suck the prepregs according to constitutional indication to feed the same and, at the same time, a movable table 6 is operated up and down according to constitutional indication and the constituted product is stacked while aligned by an aligning constitution table 7. By this method, stacking can be continuously and automatically performed in predetermined constitution.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a prepreg stacking device for stacking a required number of prepregs before being fed into a press in the production of laminates.

(Prior art) In the production of laminates, prepregs are obtained by impregnating base materials such as paper and glass woven fabric with phenol resin and epoxy resin, and drying them to obtain prepregs. A laminate is produced by sandwiching the laminates between the wafers and heating and pressing them in a press machine.

In many cases, prepregs of different types are usually made in a predetermined order.

In order to stack the required number of sheets of different types of prepreg in a fixed order, the conventional method is to stack a large number of sheets of each type of prepreg, line them up in order, and then manually take them out one by one and arrange them in a set fc order. I was waving my eyes over and over again.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Prepreg FiAt<, has characteristics of being heavy and easy to bend,
If this work is carried out manually, direct contact with the prepreg may cause the prepreg to bend and deform, causing dirt or hair to enter the inner surface of the product, resulting in defective components. Ta.

The present invention provides an apparatus that automatically and continuously constructs prepreg without manual intervention.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention inserts and sets prepreg materials to be stacked for lamination molding into the same device in multiple stages according to type, and peels the prepregs one by one from the prepregs stacked thereon. A suction mechanism and a movable discharge type peeling jig mechanism that completely peels off the lifted prepreg from the lower surface.The suction mechanism moves the prepreg 1kfR to ensure that it is peeled off, and has a predetermined composition field and alignment mechanism. It is transported by suction to the configured configuration table.

The construction table aligns the accumulated prepregs and holds them without shifting, moves the next section VC up and down in an orderly manner as instructed, and stacks the prepregs for one laminate.

A detailed explanation will be given below based on aspect (9).

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the mechanism.

Different types of prepreg materials A, B, C, and D'i are inserted into each section in the device frame 5 from the material insertion conveyor 1. Elevator - dependent on drive source 2 Repreg material A
, B, C, Di rise to the reference height.

The suction device 3 descends from the direction of the arrow to the convex direction and adsorbs one of prepreg materials A, B, C, and D, and rises from the convex direction of the arrow toward the mouth to completely remove the prepreg material 1 from the direction of the convex arrow. Prepreg A that only peels off.

B, C, and D are prepreg materials A and B.

Perform the same operation up to C and D. The conveyance drive source 9 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow C=.

Next, the transport suction device 8 adsorbs the peeled prepregs A, B, C, and D according to the configuration instructions and transports them in the two directions of the arrows and in the horizontal direction.

At the same time, the movable table 6 moves up and down in accordance with the configuration instructions, and the components are aligned and assembled according to the alignment and configuration table 7rc.

The components whose number of sheets have been configured according to the instructions are discharged in the direction of the next process.

The process is repeated nine times, and when the set number of components is reached, an automatic configuration work completion display is displayed and the system stops.

The device has the following items for confirmation.

It can be equipped with a safety mechanism including a misadsorption detection sensor, a supply position misalignment correction mechanism, a holding mechanism for preventing blurring of prepregs during construction, an air bleed mechanism between prepregs during construction, and the like.

(Effects of the Invention) The prepreg stacking device of the present invention as described above prevents foreign matter from entering the prepreg due to damage, bending, dirt and resin powder scattering, etc., and also ensures reliable 3. direction alignment. It holds down the F'i components when moving up and down to prevent them from slipping, and is compatible with the operation of automatic machines, and can also handle high-mix, small-lot work, leading to technological improvements and wide-ranging development of similar equipment. n, and there is a possibility that it will be applied.

Specifically, the following effects are achieved.

■ Manual alignment and configuration work is unpopular ■ Skill level of workers ■ Easy to establish production plan ■ Preventing foreign matter from entering ■ Improving efficiency ■ Preventing defective components due to the stacking accuracy of components.
