Abstract

PURPOSE:To automate the conveyance of spun yarns which is inefficient and liable to generate trouble, by providing a conveyer belt having hooks in a gap. CONSTITUTION:Ring-like carbon fibers 1' produced by a centrifugal spinner 12 is shifted onto two conveyers 16 on a conveying line. These conveyers 16 have a gap 21 therebetween, so that the ring-like carbon fibers 1' are set on the two conveyers 16, spanning the gap 21. Further, a transfer belt 19 is laid along the gap 21, moving in the direction of the arrow. This belt 19 has hooks 20 which pick up the ring-like carbon fibers 1' flowing up, for conveyance to the next working station.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method for transporting carbon fibers.

(Conventional technology) FIG. 4 shows a conventional method of transporting carbon fibers.

In the figure, carbon fibers 1 flowing on a conveyor 2 are hooked by a human cuff onto a hanging frame 5 provided on a conveyor belt 4, which is a separate line. As shown in FIG. 5, this hanging frame 5 is provided in a gate shape on the belt 4, and the carbon fibers are hooked onto this hanging frame 5.

Here, 3 is a drive roller of the conveyor 2, and 6 is a drive roller of the belt 4.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional conveying method described above is inefficient because the fibers are hooked by humans, and because the fibers are simply hung, the fibers may fall during conveyance. There were some problems.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to automate the inefficient and trouble-prone spinning transport and provide an efficient and trouble-free carbon fiber transport method.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the present invention, when conveying carbon fibers, a gap is provided between two conveyors, and a ring-shaped carbon fiber is placed on the two conveyors having this gap. During the movement of the conveyor, a conveyor belt with a hook jig is installed in the gap, and the hook hooks the ring-shaped carbon fiber with the jig and conveys it. It is intended as a means to solve problems.

(Function) In the present invention, carbon fibers are manufactured in a ring shape, and the ring-shaped carbon fibers are placed on two conveyors. A gap is provided between these two conveyors. Then, the ring-shaped carbon fibers flowing on these two conveyors are caught by a jig with a hook provided on a conveyor belt passing between the gaps, and conveyed from the two conveyors to another line.

(Embodiments) The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments of the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show embodiments of the present invention.

In the figure, the carbon fiber 1 manufactured by the centrifugal spinning machine 12 is
It is adjusted to form a ring shape of an appropriate height by a stopper 13 provided below, and then placed in a container 14 below. Thereafter, it is conveyed by the conveyor 15 and sent to the conveyance line for the next process. Here 10 is the rotation axis, 1
1 indicates an injection nozzle.

Now, the ring-shaped carbon fiber 1' manufactured by the centrifugal spinning machine 12 is transferred onto two conveyors 16 in a conveyance line. These two conveyors 16 have a gap 21, and the ring-shaped carbon fiber 1' is placed on the two conveyors 16 and 16 with this gap 21 in between. And this gap 21
The transport belt 19 is arranged so as to be transported in the direction of the arrow. Since this belt 19 is hooked by a jig 20, the flowing ring-shaped carbon fiber 1' is hooked by the jig 20.
It is caught and transported to the next process. In the figure, 17 indicates a drive roller of the conveyor 16, and 18 indicates a drive roller of the belt 19.

21A is a perspective view showing the shape of the flowing ring-shaped carbon fiber 1', and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the state of the carbon fiber 1' placed on the conveyor 16.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above in detail, the present invention transports the ring-shaped carbon fibers by hooking them with a jig, so there is no problem such as falling on the way, and the gap between the conveyors is used to transport the ring-shaped carbon fibers. Since it is hooked, it is easy to hook and it is easy to automate.
