Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paper roll support device in a feeding unit of a rotary press.
- this invention relates to a paper roll support device in a feeding unit constructed so that both ends of an inner tube of a paper roll are supported by opposing support members in such a way as to be rotated and rotatably braked together with the paper roll support device by contact force between the support members and the inner tube.
- a paper roll support device for supporting a paper roll in a feeding unit of a rotary press by both sides of an inner tube of the paper roll is well known, as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Hei. 6-115786 (related art 1) and Japanese Examined Patent publication No. Hei. 6-74104 (related art 2).
- Related art 1 comprises rolling centers, provided at tips of a plurality of pairs of opposed arms provided on the rotational axis of a feeding unit, for supporting both sides of inner tubes of the paper rolls in an axial direction so as to be capable of rotation, means for detecting rotation of the rolling centers, means for detecting travel caused by drawing out of the paper roll, means for comparing signals from the two detection means to determine presence or absence of slip between a roll source sheet and the rolling centers, and means for controlling pressing drive of the rolling centers based on results from the determining means.
- a signal representing detection of rotation of the rolling centers and a signal representing detection of travel of the roll source sheets are treated as relational operators and slip between the rolling centers and the roll source sheets is detected, and if there is slip, fastening force of the rolling center towards the paper roll (contact force) is increased to prevent slip.
- related art 2 comprises a pair of rotatable end holders for holing an inner tube of a paper roll from both sides, a casing for holding one of the end holders so as to be capable of moving backwards and forwards, a pinion engaging with a rack provided in the casing, a worm wheel provided in the pinion, an air motor having a worm for engaging with the worm wheel provided on an output shaft, a pressurized air supply source side pressurized air supply line, a first pressure reduction valve provided in the pressurized air supply source side pressurized air supply line, a pressurized air supply line for advancing the end holders and a pressurized air supply line for reversing the end holders on the air motor side, a first three-way valve for connecting these pressurized air supply lines for advancing and reversing the end holders, a second three-way valve provided in the middle of the pressurized air supply line for advancing the end holders, a bypass air line for bypassing the first three-way valve and the first
- the device disclosed in related art 1 has control means for comparing a rotation detection signal for rolling centers and a travel speed detection signal for the roll source for all speeds to determine whether or not there is slip between the inner tube of the roll source and the rolling center, and for controlling pressing drive of the rolling center to prevent the slip, and because drive is carried out to increase contact force so as to stop the slip between them after slip arises, abrasion occurs at where surfaces of the inner tube of the roll source and the rolling centers contact each other. For example, if operation has progressed to where the roll paper is being pulled out at high speed and is then suddenly stoppe
- This invention is directed to a paper roll support device for supporting a paper roll, as well as enabling rotation and rotation braking together with the paper roll, having a pair of support means capable of supporting both sides of an inner tube of a paper roll, and pressure change assigning means, capable of reciprocating in the direction of another opposing support means, and providing pressure to at least one support means to cause movement in a direction reducing a distance between the pair of support means, as well as being capable of selectively changing and assigning pressure of at least two magnitudes for carrying out movement in a direction so as to reduce a distance between a pair of support means, wherein in the event of a sudden stop of a rotary press, it is possible to increase contact force between the support means and the inner tube of the paper roll by increasing pressure to cause movement in a direction to reduce a distance between a pair of support means.
- the object of the present invention is to prevent abrasion in a rotation direction between contacting sections of an inner tube of a paper roll and support members for supporting the paper roll, under normal operating conditions and at the time of emergency stop, by changing contact pressure for support members opposing the inner tube of the paper roll when supporting the paper roll between a normal running contact pressure for arriving at a stop state from normal rotational drive, and an emergency stop contact pressure that is sufficiently larger than the normal running contact pressure.

- a paper roll R to be mounted is loaded onto the paper roll conveying unit L and conveyed to the paper roll support device S.
- the distance between the first arm J 1 and the second arm J 2 shown in FIG. 2 is larger than the width of the paper roll R.
- the paper roll R is moved to a position substantially coincident with a common axis of the first support member 1 of the first support means A provided at the tip of the first arm J 1 and the second support member 5 of the second support means D provided at the tip of the second arm J 2 , with an axial line of the inner tube K of the paper roll R between the first arm J 1 and the second arm J 2 , and brought to a stop.
- This stop position is conformed by a sensor (not shown).
- a mount signal N is output either automatically, from a paper roll replacement controller, or manually.
- This generated mount signal N is received by the motor 32 of the movement positioning means B, with respect to the first support means A, and received by the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 and the path change-over means 90 with respect to the second support means D.
- the first support means A and the second support means D begin to move towards an operating position at almost the same time, and an operation to support the paper roll R begins.
- the first support member 1 is stopped at a support position for supporting a predetermined paper roll R, and positioned using the reduction gear mechanism. That is, as a result of movement to the paper roll R side of the first support member 1 , the first stopper 11 the first insertion section 16 and the base section 121 of the first contact member 12 are sequentially inserted inside the tube from one end section of the inner tube K of the paper roll R.
- respective side surfaces of step sides of the erected section 120 of the first contact member 12 contact the end surface of the inner tube K, and also in that state the respective first contact members 12 are pressed against the end surface of the inner tube K and moved in the direction of the first flange section 15 along the first inclined grooves 160 of the first insertion section 16 against the spring force of the first compression spring 14 .
- the respective first contact members 12 are separated from the center line of the first insertion section 16 , and the base sections 121 of the first contact members 12 project from the slit grooves 160 a .
- Respective outer surfaces of the base sections 121 then come into contact with the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R.
- the support position of the first support member 1 is a position where a side surface of the paper roll R should be located when the paper roll R is supported in a correct positional relationship with respect to the print center of a printing section, not shown, and is a predetermined design position calculated based on elements such as inner diameter of the inner tube K of the supported paper roll R, angle of inclination of the first inclined grooves 160 , outer diameter of the base section 121 of the first contact member 12 , etc.
- the piston 70 is connected to the second sleeve 6 , and the second rotation shaft 50 of the second support member 5 is rotatably supported on the second sleeve 6 . Accordingly, as a result of movement of the piston 70 to the paper roll R side, the second sleeve 6 and second support member 5 are also moved towards the paper roll R side, and due to the second support member 5 pressing the inner tube K of the paper roll R the inner tube K of the paper roll R is pressed against the first support member 1 .
- the second stopper 51 , second insertion section 56 and the base section 521 of the second contact member 52 are inserted in that order into the inside of the tube from one end section of the inner tube K of the paper roll R. Then, side surfaces of step sides of erected sections 520 of respective second contact members 52 contact the end surface of the inner tube K, and also respective second contact members 52 are pressed to the end surface of the inner tube K in that state and moved in the direction of the second flange section 55 along the second inclined grooves 560 of the second insertion section 56 against the spring force of the second compression spring 54 .
- the respective second contact members 52 are moved away from the center axis of the second insertion section 56 , and the base section 521 of the second contact member 52 projects from the slit grooves 560 a .
- the outer surface of the respective base sections 521 then come into contact with the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and the contact force between the two surfaces becomes larger as the second contact member 52 approaches the second flange section 55 along the second inclined grooves 560 .
- the contact forces of the first contact member 12 and the second contact member 52 with respect to the inner surface of the inner tube K are both equal.
- the pressure of fluid acting from the air-tight chamber 72 a side on the piston 70 acts as a force for causing the respective erected sections 120 of the first contact member 12 to move towards the first flange section 15 via the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and also acts as a force for causing the respective erected section 520 of the second contact member 52 to move towards the second flange section 15 .
- This force respectively presses the first contact member 12 and the second contact member 52 with a perpendicular component of force with respect to the inclined bottom surfaces of the respectively inserted first inclined grooves 160 and second inclined grooves 560 , and in this way, a reaction force component of force equal to the force pressing the bottom surfaces and a reaction force opposite to this component of force, act mutually as contact force generated between the outer surface of respective base section 121 , 521 and inner surface of the tube K by the expansion of the contact member 12 and 52 . Accordingly, as the pressure of the fluid acting on the piston 70 from 72 a side increases, so the contact force between the first contact member 12 and the second contact member 52 and the inner tube K increases.
- contact forces between the inner surface of both ends of the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and outer surfaces of respective base sections 121 of the first contact member 12 and outer surfaces of respective base sections 521 of the second contact member 52 is set to the same contact force as when mounting a paper roll R.
- contact forces between the inner surface of both ends of the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and outer surfaces of respective base sections 121 of the first contact member 12 and outer surfaces of respective base sections 521 of the second contact member 52 is set to the same contact force as when mounting a paper roll R. For example, as shown in FIG.
- setting pressure of the first fluid pressure setting means 91 is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain normal contact pressure such that there is no slip between the inner tube K of the paper roll R and the outer surfaces of the respective base section 121 and base section 521 of the first contact member 12 and the second contact member 52 at the time of braking when stop is reached from deceleration carried out in a comparatively long time by braking means C at the time of normal stop.
- an emergency stop signal P is issued to the path change-over means 90 .
- the emergency stop signal P by changing the fluid movement paths inside the path change-over means 90 , fluid that passes from the fluid source M through the first fluid path 93 at the time of normal operation, that is, fluid that is supplied through the first fluid pressure setting means 91 , paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 and path change-over means 90 to the connection port 73 a , is stopped.
- the set pressure of the second fluid pressure setting means 92 is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain contact force at the time of emergency stop that is sufficiently larger than the normal contact force such that there is no slip between the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R 2 and the outer surfaces of respective base sections 121 and base sections 521 of the first contact member 12 and the second contact member 52 , at the time of braking when a stop is reached from deceleration in a short time by the braking means C at the time of emergency stop.
- the construction of the paper roll support device is such that, in a state where both ends of the inner tube K of the paper roll R 2 are supported by the first support member 1 of the first support means A and the second support member 5 of the second support means D, contact force of the first support member 1 and the second support member 5 with respect to the inner tube K of the paper roll R 2 can be obtained using mutual pressing force of the opposing first support member 1 and second support member 5 across the inner tube K of the paper roll R 2 . It is then made possible to easily carry out the change-over between the contact force at the time of normal operation and the larger contact force at the time of emergency stop.
- a remove signal Q from a paper roll detachment controller, not shown, is issued to the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 .
- the pressure change assigning means has fluid pressure setting means capable of changing, among two magnitudes of pressure to be assigned to at least one support means, at least the smaller pressure setting, it is possible to change settings by adjusting pressure in an axial direction to be assigned to a support member in response to differences in rotational inertia accompanying changes in weight of a paper roll, and it becomes possible to reduce the load conditions imposed on the paper roll support device. It is therefore possible to further improve the durability of the paper roll support device.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a paper roll support device in a feeding unit of a rotary press. In more detail, this invention relates to a paper roll support device in a feeding unit constructed so that both ends of an inner tube of a paper roll are supported by opposing support members in such a way as to be rotated and rotatably braked together with the paper roll support device by contact force between the support members and the inner tube.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, a paper roll support device for supporting a paper roll in a feeding unit of a rotary press by both sides of an inner tube of the paper roll is well known, as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Hei. 6-115786 (related art 1) and Japanese Examined Patent publication No. Hei. 6-74104 (related art 2).
-
Related art 1 comprises rolling centers, provided at tips of a plurality of pairs of opposed arms provided on the rotational axis of a feeding unit, for supporting both sides of inner tubes of the paper rolls in an axial direction so as to be capable of rotation, means for detecting rotation of the rolling centers, means for detecting travel caused by drawing out of the paper roll, means for comparing signals from the two detection means to determine presence or absence of slip between a roll source sheet and the rolling centers, and means for controlling pressing drive of the rolling centers based on results from the determining means. - As the control, a signal representing detection of rotation of the rolling centers and a signal representing detection of travel of the roll source sheets are treated as relational operators and slip between the rolling centers and the roll source sheets is detected, and if there is slip, fastening force of the rolling center towards the paper roll (contact force) is increased to prevent slip.
- Also,
related art 2 comprises a pair of rotatable end holders for holing an inner tube of a paper roll from both sides, a casing for holding one of the end holders so as to be capable of moving backwards and forwards, a pinion engaging with a rack provided in the casing, a worm wheel provided in the pinion, an air motor having a worm for engaging with the worm wheel provided on an output shaft, a pressurized air supply source side pressurized air supply line, a first pressure reduction valve provided in the pressurized air supply source side pressurized air supply line, a pressurized air supply line for advancing the end holders and a pressurized air supply line for reversing the end holders on the air motor side, a first three-way valve for connecting these pressurized air supply lines for advancing and reversing the end holders, a second three-way valve provided in the middle of the pressurized air supply line for advancing the end holders, a bypass air line for bypassing the first three-way valve and the first pressure reduction valve to connect the second three-way valve to the pressurized air supply source side pressurized air supply line, a forward and reverse drive unit for the end holders made up of a second pressure reduction valve provided to set the pressure of the bypass air line to a lower pressure than the first pressure reduction valve, and a control unit for controlling the other end holder. - With the second related art, when a paper roll is mounted, air at a pressure set by the first pressure reduction valve is supplied to the air motor to increase contact force between the paper roll and the end holders, and when operating a rotary press, the second three-way valve is switched to supply air at a pressure set by the second pressure reduction valve to the air motor and the contact force between the paper roll and the end holders is reduced.
- The device disclosed in
related art 1 has control means for comparing a rotation detection signal for rolling centers and a travel speed detection signal for the roll source for all speeds to determine whether or not there is slip between the inner tube of the roll source and the rolling center, and for controlling pressing drive of the rolling center to prevent the slip, and because drive is carried out to increase contact force so as to stop the slip between them after slip arises, abrasion occurs at where surfaces of the inner tube of the roll source and the rolling centers contact each other. For example, if operation has progressed to where the roll paper is being pulled out at high speed and is then suddenly stoppe - d, since slip occurs, there will be a large time lag until slippage is cancelled, and as a result abrasion occurs at contact surfaces of the inner tube of the roll source and the rolling centers.
- Also, with the
related art 2, force with which the two sides of the inner tube of the paper roll are pressed by the end holders at the time of operation is smaller than the force when mounting the paper rolls. This pressing force does not change under any conditions, such as at the time of operation, a sudden stop and if there is a large difference in the diameters of paper rolls. - Accordingly, when contact force between the paper rolls and the end holders at the time of operation of a rotary press is smaller than a large force acting between the inner tube rotated by inertial force at the time of sudden stop, and the end holders stopped after deceleration by braking, slip occurs between the inner tube and the holders in the rotation direction at the time of sudden stop, resulting in abrasion of the contacting sections. Also, when contact force between the paper rolls and the end holders at the time of operation of a rotary press is larger than the large force acting between the inner tube and the end holders at the time of sudden stop, since a large force always acts between the inner tube and the end holders, there is usually a large load acting on a bearing section for supporting the inner tube in a rotatable manner, which reduces the lifespan of the bearing, and as a result the durability of the paper roll support device is degraded.
- This invention is directed to a paper roll support device for supporting a paper roll, as well as enabling rotation and rotation braking together with the paper roll, having a pair of support means capable of supporting both sides of an inner tube of a paper roll, and pressure change assigning means, capable of reciprocating in the direction of another opposing support means, and providing pressure to at least one support means to cause movement in a direction reducing a distance between the pair of support means, as well as being capable of selectively changing and assigning pressure of at least two magnitudes for carrying out movement in a direction so as to reduce a distance between a pair of support means, wherein in the event of a sudden stop of a rotary press, it is possible to increase contact force between the support means and the inner tube of the paper roll by increasing pressure to cause movement in a direction to reduce a distance between a pair of support means.
- The object of the present invention is to prevent abrasion in a rotation direction between contacting sections of an inner tube of a paper roll and support members for supporting the paper roll, under normal operating conditions and at the time of emergency stop, by changing contact pressure for support members opposing the inner tube of the paper roll when supporting the paper roll between a normal running contact pressure for arriving at a stop state from normal rotational drive, and an emergency stop contact pressure that is sufficiently larger than the normal running contact pressure.
- It is a further object of the present invention to prevent a large load always acting on a bearing section for supporting the support members in a rotatable manner so as to improve durability of the paper roll support device.

first support member 1 and afirst sleeve 2, and a first bearing 20 is provided between thefirst support member 1 and thefirst sleeve 2 for supporting thefirst support member 1 in a rotatable manner with respect to thefirst sleeve 2. - The
first support member 1 is made up of a first rotatingshaft 10, afirst stopper 11, afirst contact member 12, afirst spring holder 13, afirst compression spring 14, afirst flange section 15, and afirst insertion section 16. - The
first sleeve 2, is provided so as to be capable of moving in an axial direction of the arm rotation shaft H within afirst hole 21 provided passing through a tip part of the first arm J1 along the axial line of the arm rotation shaft H. Thefirst sleeve 2 is provided being regulated so as not to rotate with respect to thefirst hole 21 by a firstkey member 22 provided between thefirst sleeve 2 and the inner wall of thefirst hole 21. Thefirst sleeve 2 is also fitted so as to move in the axial direction of the arm rotation shaft H in accordance with thefirst support member 1, using the movement positioning means B. - The
first support member 1 has a substantially central part of the first rotatingshaft 10 rotatably supported at an inner wall of thefirst sleeve 2 via the first bearing 20. Both ends of the first rotatingshaft 10 of thefirst support member 1 project from thefirst sleeve 2. Thefirst flange section 15 is provided on the first rotatingshaft 10 close to an end surface of thefirst sleeve 2 of a section projecting from thefirst sleeve 2 to a side where the paper roll R is positioned, and a cylindricalfirst insertion section 16 is formed projecting from thefirst flange section 15 to the side where the paper roll R is positioned. - A
first stopper 11 having a thin truncated cone shape becoming smaller in outer diameter towards the tip so as to be easy to insert into an inner tube K of a paper roll R is attached to the tip of thefirst insertion section 16. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, firstinclined grooves 160 are formed in thefirst insertion section 16 at a plurality of places on the outer surface, in this embodiment at four places at intervals of 90. The firstinclined grooves 160 are formed as grooves having an inclined surface so as to become gradually shallower in the radial direction and facing to thefirst flange section 15 side from respective tips. The respective firstinclined grooves 160 are formed with a slit shapedslit groove 160 a at the surface side of theinsertion section 16, and adovetail groove 160 b having a wider dovetail shape than theslit groove 160 a is formed in a groove bottom surface connecting to theslit groove 160 a. - The
first contact member 12 engages with the respective firstinclined grooves 160 so as to be capable movement in the groove direction of the firstinclined grooves 160, upper sections (surface side) 12 a of thefirst contact member 12 engage with the groove surfaceside slit grooves 160 a, and adovetail section 12 b, being a base section (central side) of thefirst contact member 12 being formed in a cross sectional shape corresponding to the groove shape of thedovetail groove 160 b, engages with the groove bottom surfaceside dovetail groove 160 b. Thefirst contact member 12 is prevented from coming off the firstinclined grooves 160 by the engagement of thedovetail section 12 b and thedovetail groove 160 b, and can also reciprocate along the firstinclined grooves 160. - Respective
first contact members 12 are made up of an erectedsection 120 formed at thefirst flange section 15 side, and abase section 121 formed at thefirst stopper 11 side, and have steps. Thefirst contact member 12 varies a distance from the center line of thefirst insertion section 16 in accordance with reciprocation along the firstinclined grooves 160, but the erectedsection 120 projects from theslit grooves 160 a no matter what position it is at, and thebase section 121 is capable of appearing from theslit grooves 160 a. That is, thebase section 121 projects further from a cylindrical surface of thefirst insertion section 16 as thefirst contact member 12 moves to thefirst flange section 15 side, and conversely sinks into theslit grooves 160 a as thefirst insertion section 16 moves towards thefirst stopper 11 side. - As a result, the
first insertion section 16 is inserted into the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and if thefirst contact member 12 is pressed to move towards thefirst flange section 15 by the end surface of the inner tube K, thebase section 121 of thefirst contact member 12 projects from the firstinclined grooves 160 and an outer surface comes into contact with an inner surface of the inner tube K. The contact force between the outer surface of thebase section 121 and the inner surface of the inner tube K then becomes large as thefirst contact member 12 approaches thefirst flange section 15 side. - The outer surface of the
base section 121 of thefirst contact member 12 is formed by suitable surface processing and/or in a suitable shape to have high frictional force. Respectivefirst contact members 12, in a non-load state, are pressed against thefirst stopper 11 by action of thefirst compression spring 14 provided between thefirst spring holder 13 fixed to a side surface of the erectedsection 120 of thefirst contact member 12, at thefirst flange section 15 side, and thefirst flange section 15, and in this state thebase sections 121 of the respectivefirst contact members 12 sink into theslit grooves 160 a. - A

Thesecond sleeve 6 is also fitted so that it moves in the axial direction of the arm rotation shaft H in accordance with thesecond support member 5, using the pressing means E. - The
second support member 5 has part of the secondrotating shaft 50 rotatably supported at an inner wall of thesecond sleeve 6 via thesecond bearing 60. One end of the secondrotating shaft 50 of thesecond support member 5 that is opposite to thefirst support member 1 projects from thesecond sleeve 6. Thesecond flange section 55 is provided on the secondrotating shaft 50 close to an end surface of thesecond sleeve 6 of a section projecting from thesecond sleeve 6 to a side where the paper roll R is positioned, and a cylindricalsecond insertion section 56 is formed projecting from thesecond flange section 55 to the side where the paper roll R is positioned. - A
second stopper 51 having a thin truncated cone shape becoming smaller in outer diameter towards the tip so as to be easy to insert into an inner tube K of a paper roll R is attached to the tip of thesecond insertion section 56. Also, as shown in FIG. 5 FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, secondinclined grooves 560 are formed in thesecond insertion section 56 at a plurality of places on the outer surface, in this embodiment at four places at intervals of 90. The secondinclined grooves 560 are formed as grooves having an inclined surface so as to become gradually shallower in the radial direction and facing to thesecond flange section 55 side from respective tips. The respective secondinclined grooves 560 are formed with a slit shaped slit groove 560 a at the surface side of theinsertion section 56, and adovetail groove 560 b having a wider dovetail shape than the slit groove 560 a is formed in a groove bottom surface connecting to the slit groove 560 a. - The
second contact member 52 engages with the respective secondinclined grooves 560 so as to be capable of movement in the groove direction of the secondinclined grooves 560, upper sections (surface side) 52 a of thesecond contact member 52 engage with the groove surface side slitgrooves 560 a, and adovetail section 52 b, being a base section (central side) of thesecond contact member 52 being formed in a cross sectional shape corresponding to the groove shape of thedovetail groove 560 b, engages with the groove bottom surface side dovetail groove 560 b. Thesecond contact member 52 is prevented from coming away from the secondinclined grooves 560 by the engagement of thedovetail section 52 b and thedovetail groove 560 b, and can also reciprocate along the secondinclined grooves 560. - Respective
second contact members 52 are made up of an erectedsection 520 formed at thesecond flange section 55 side, and abase section 521 formed at thesecond stopper 51 side, and are stepped. Thesecond contact member 52 varies a distance from the center line of thesecond insertion section 56 in accordance with reciprocation along the secondinclined grooves 560, but the erectedsection 520 projects from theslit grooves 560 a no matter what position it is at, and thebase section 521 is capable of appearing from theslit grooves 560 a. That is, thebase section 521 projects from a cylindrical surface of thesecond insertion section 56 as thesecond contact member 52 moves to thesecond flange section 55 side, and sinks into theslit grooves 560 a as thesecond contact member 52 moves towards thesecond stopper 51 side. - As a result, the
second insertion section 56 is inserted into the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and if thesecond contact member 52 is pressed to move towards thesecond flange section 55 by the end surface of the inner tube K, thebase section 521 of thesecond contact member 52 projects from the secondinclined grooves 560 and an outer surface comes into contact with an inner surface of the inner tube K. The contact force between the outer surface of thebase section 521 and the inner surface of the inner tube K then becomes large as thesecond contact member 52 approaches thesecond flange section 55 side. - The outer surface of the
base section 521 of thesecond contact member 52 is formed by suitable surface processing and/or in a suitable shape to have high frictional force. Respectivesecond contact members 52, in a non-load state, are pressed against thesecond stopper 51 by action of thesecond compression spring 54 provided between thesecond spring holder 53 fixed to a side surface of the erectedsection 520 of thesecond contact member 52, at thesecond flange section 55 side, and thesecond flange section 55, and in this state thebase sections 521 of the respectivesecond contact members 52 sink into theslit grooves 560 a. - Pressing means E capable of moving the
second sleeve 6 in the axial direction are provided on an opposite side of thesecond sleeve 6 to thesecond contact member 52. - Next, the pressing means E of the paper roll support device S of the invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the pressing means E comprises sleeve moving means7, paper roll detachment and change-over means 8, and pressure
change assigning means 9. The pressurechange assigning means 9 comprises path change-over means 90, first fluid pressure setting means 91, and second fluid pressure setting means 92. - The sleeve moving means7 is made up of a
piston 70 and acylinder 71. Thepiston 70 is fixed to an end surface of thesecond sleeve 6 opposite to thesecond contact member 52, and is provided making air-tight contact with an inner wall of thecylinder 71 attached to the second arm J2, and capable of reciprocation in the axial direction of thesecond sleeve 6. Thecylinder 71 is provided with two air-tight chambers cylinder 71 partitioned by thepiston 70.Connection ports tight chambers - The paper roll detachment and change-over means8 has two
fluid discharge ports fluid movement paths tight chambers cylinder 71. - The paper roll detachment and change-over means8 can cause the paper roll R to be supported by the
second support member 5, and is also capable of causing the paper roll R to be pushed towards thefirst support member 1 via thesecond support member 5, towards a position where the force is acting. When the paper roll R is pressed towards thefirst support member 1 and caused to move to the pressing operation position, the paper roll detachment- and change-over means 8 changes path to thefluid movement paths tight chamber 72 a, and connects the fluid source M to theconnection port 73 a using thefluid movement path 82, and connects theconnection port 73 b to thefluid discharge port 80 via a thirdfluid path 95 provided between thisconnection port 73 b and the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8, using thefluid movement path 83 that has been changed so that fluid in the air-tight chamber 72 b is discharged using the movingpiston 70. - In the event that the
second support member 5 is not supporting the paper roll R but is moved to a standby position where it is not pressed, the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 changes path to thefluid movement paths tight chamber 72 b, and as well as connecting the fluid source M with theconnection port 73 b using thefluid movement path 85, theconnection port 73 a and thefluid discharge port 81 are connected via the path change-over means 90 and thefluid movement path 84 that has been changed, so that fluid in the air-tight chamber 72 a is discharged by the movingpiston 70. - The path change-over means90 making up the pressure
change assigning means 9 causes two movable fluid movement paths to move and changes the fluid path in response to external instruction signals (mount signal N, emergency stop signal P, described later), and is a fluid path change-over device such as, for example, a 3-port, 2-position electromagnetic change-over valve. The path change-over means 90 is provided between a firstfluid path 93, provided as a fluid path for connecting theconnection port 73 a of the air-tight chamber 72 a of thecylinder 71 via the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 to the fluid source M, and a separate secondfluid path 94 is provided as a fluid path between theconnection port 73 a and the fluid source M. The path change-over means 90 has an operation of changing over two fluid paths for fluid supplied from the fluid source M to theconnection port 73 a, namely the firstfluid path 93 for supplying fluid from the fluid source M through the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8, and the secondfluid path 94 that does not use the paper roll detachment and change-overmeans 8. - The first fluid pressure setting means91 making up the pressure
change assigning means 9 is provided between the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 for the firstfluid path 93 and the fluid source M, is constituted by, for example, a pressure regulating valve, and sets pressure used in the firstfluid path 93 at the time of normal operation. This set pressure is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain normal contact pressure such that there is no slip between the inner tube K of the paper roll R and thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52 at the time of braking when stop is reached from deceleration carried out in a comparatively long time by braking means C at the time of normal stop. - The second fluid pressure setting means92 making up the pressure
change assigning means 9 is provided between the path change-over means 90 for the secondfluid path 94 and the fluid source M, is constituted by, for example, pressure regulating valve, and sets pressure to be used in the secondfluid path 94 at the time of emergency stop. This set pressure is a larger pressure than the pressure used at the time of normal operation, and is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain contact pressure at the time of emergency stop that is sufficiently larger than the normal contact pressure. This means that there is no slip between the inner tube K of the paper roll R and thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52, at the time of braking when stop is reached from deceleration in a short time by the braking means C at the time of an emergency stop in response to an accident such as a paper web breaking during operation of a rotary press. - Next, operation of the embodiment of the invention will be described. A paper roll R to be mounted is loaded onto the paper roll conveying unit L and conveyed to the paper roll support device S. The distance between the first arm J1 and the second arm J2 shown in FIG. 2 is larger than the width of the paper roll R. The paper roll R is moved to a position substantially coincident with a common axis of the
first support member 1 of the first support means A provided at the tip of the first arm J1 and thesecond support member 5 of the second support means D provided at the tip of the second arm J2, with an axial line of the inner tube K of the paper roll R between the first arm J1 and the second arm J2, and brought to a stop. This stop position is conformed by a sensor (not shown). - Next, a mount signal N is output either automatically, from a paper roll replacement controller, or manually. This generated mount signal N is received by the
motor 32 of the movement positioning means B, with respect to the first support means A, and received by the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 and the path change-over means 90 with respect to the second support means D. As a result of generation and receipt of this mount signal N, the first support means A and the second support means D begin to move towards an operating position at almost the same time, and an operation to support the paper roll R begins. - Next, a description will be given of operation of the first support means A when the mount signal N is originated. As a result of operation of the
motor 32 receiving the mount signal N, thepinion 31 attached to thepinion rotation shaft 310 linked to the output shaft of themotor 32 via the reduction gear mechanism is rotated, and therack 30 engaging with thepinion 31, thefirst sleeve 2 to which therack 30 is attached, and thefirst support member 1, thefirst sleeve 2 moves towards the paper roll R. - As a result of this movement, the
first support member 1 is stopped at a support position for supporting a predetermined paper roll R, and positioned using the reduction gear mechanism. That is, as a result of movement to the paper roll R side of thefirst support member 1, thefirst stopper 11 thefirst insertion section 16 and thebase section 121 of thefirst contact member 12 are sequentially inserted inside the tube from one end section of the inner tube K of the paper roll R. Then, respective side surfaces of step sides of the erectedsection 120 of thefirst contact member 12 contact the end surface of the inner tube K, and also in that state the respectivefirst contact members 12 are pressed against the end surface of the inner tube K and moved in the direction of thefirst flange section 15 along the firstinclined grooves 160 of thefirst insertion section 16 against the spring force of thefirst compression spring 14. Accompanying this movement, the respectivefirst contact members 12 are separated from the center line of thefirst insertion section 16, and thebase sections 121 of thefirst contact members 12 project from theslit grooves 160 a. Respective outer surfaces of thebase sections 121 then come into contact with the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R. Movement of thefirst support member 1 towards the paper roll R stops at a predetermined support position. That is, the support position of thefirst support member 1 is a position where a side surface of the paper roll R should be located when the paper roll R is supported in a correct positional relationship with respect to the print center of a printing section, not shown, and is a predetermined design position calculated based on elements such as inner diameter of the inner tube K of the supported paper roll R, angle of inclination of the firstinclined grooves 160, outer diameter of thebase section 121 of thefirst contact member 12, etc. - Next, a description will be given of operation of the second support means D when the mount signal N is originated. The paper roll detachment and change-over means8 and path change-over means 90 that have received the mount signal N respectively change the fluid movement paths to the state shown in FIG. 2. That is, fluid supplied from the fluid source M is set to a normal operating pressure by the first fluid pressure setting means 91 provided in the first
fluid path 93, and supplied from theconnection port 73 a through the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 and the path change-over means 90 to the inside of the air-tight chamber 72 a. - If fluid is supplied into the air-
tight chamber 72 a, thepiston 70 capable of moving inside thecylinder 71 is moved to the paper roll R side by this fluid pressure. As a result of movement of thepiston 70, the volume of the other air-tight chamber 72 b inside thecylinder 71 is reduced, and the fluid of the air-tight chamber 72 b is discharged from theconnection port 73 b, through the thirdfluid path 95, and out of thefluid discharge port 80 of the paper roll detachment and change-overmeans 8. - The
piston 70 is connected to thesecond sleeve 6, and thesecond rotation shaft 50 of thesecond support member 5 is rotatably supported on thesecond sleeve 6. Accordingly, as a result of movement of thepiston 70 to the paper roll R side, thesecond sleeve 6 andsecond support member 5 are also moved towards the paper roll R side, and due to thesecond support member 5 pressing the inner tube K of the paper roll R the inner tube K of the paper roll R is pressed against thefirst support member 1. That is, as a result of movement of thesecond support member 5 to the paper roll R side, thesecond stopper 51,second insertion section 56 and thebase section 521 of thesecond contact member 52 are inserted in that order into the inside of the tube from one end section of the inner tube K of the paper roll R. Then, side surfaces of step sides of erectedsections 520 of respectivesecond contact members 52 contact the end surface of the inner tube K, and also respectivesecond contact members 52 are pressed to the end surface of the inner tube K in that state and moved in the direction of thesecond flange section 55 along the secondinclined grooves 560 of thesecond insertion section 56 against the spring force of thesecond compression spring 54. Accompanying this movement, the respectivesecond contact members 52 are moved away from the center axis of thesecond insertion section 56, and thebase section 521 of thesecond contact member 52 projects from theslit grooves 560 a. The outer surface of therespective base sections 521 then come into contact with the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and the contact force between the two surfaces becomes larger as thesecond contact member 52 approaches thesecond flange section 55 along the secondinclined grooves 560. - Also, as a result of the pressing of the inner tube K of the paper roll R towards the
first support member 1 by thesecond support member 5, for thefirst support member 1 also, contact force between the outer surface ofrespective base sections 121 of thefirst contact member 12 and the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R also becomes large. If pressing force of thesecond support member 5 and reaction force of thefirst support member 1 are in equilibrium, movement of thesecond support member 5,second sleeve 6 andpiston 70 stops. - At the point in time where movement of the
piston 70 stops, the contact forces of thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52 with respect to the inner surface of the inner tube K are both equal. Specifically, the pressure of fluid acting from the air-tight chamber 72 a side on thepiston 70 acts as a force for causing the respective erectedsections 120 of thefirst contact member 12 to move towards thefirst flange section 15 via the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and also acts as a force for causing the respective erectedsection 520 of thesecond contact member 52 to move towards thesecond flange section 15. This force respectively presses thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52 with a perpendicular component of force with respect to the inclined bottom surfaces of the respectively inserted firstinclined grooves 160 and secondinclined grooves 560, and in this way, a reaction force component of force equal to the force pressing the bottom surfaces and a reaction force opposite to this component of force, act mutually as contact force generated between the outer surface ofrespective base section contact member piston 70 from 72 a side increases, so the contact force between thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52 and the inner tube K increases. - With the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, at the time of normal operation, contact forces between the inner surface of both ends of the inner tube K of the paper roll R, and outer surfaces of
respective base sections 121 of thefirst contact member 12 and outer surfaces ofrespective base sections 521 of thesecond contact member 52 is set to the same contact force as when mounting a paper roll R. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, at the time of normal operation mounting a paper roll R2, setting pressure of the first fluid pressure setting means 91 is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain normal contact pressure such that there is no slip between the inner tube K of the paper roll R and the outer surfaces of therespective base section 121 andbase section 521 of thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52 at the time of braking when stop is reached from deceleration carried out in a comparatively long time by braking means C at the time of normal stop. - Also, at the time of emergency stop when some abnormality has arisen during normal operation, an emergency stop signal P is issued to the path change-over means90. As a result of the emergency stop signal P, by changing the fluid movement paths inside the path change-over means 90, fluid that passes from the fluid source M through the first
fluid path 93 at the time of normal operation, that is, fluid that is supplied through the first fluid pressure setting means 91, paper roll detachment and change-over means 8 and path change-over means 90 to theconnection port 73 a, is stopped. At the same time as this, fluid at a larger pressure that at the time of normal operation passing from the fluid source M through the secondfluid path 94, that is through passing through the second fluid pressure setting means 92 that has been set to a larger pressure than the set pressure of the first fluid pressure setting means 91 and the path change-over means 90, is supplied to theconnection port 73 a. As a result of this larger fluid pressure than at the time of normal operation, thepiston 70 is pressed further to the air-tight chamber 72 a side than at the time of normal operation. - The set pressure of the second fluid pressure setting means92 is a pressure that makes it possible to obtain contact force at the time of emergency stop that is sufficiently larger than the normal contact force such that there is no slip between the inner surface of the inner tube K of the paper roll R2 and the outer surfaces of
respective base sections 121 andbase sections 521 of thefirst contact member 12 and thesecond contact member 52, at the time of braking when a stop is reached from deceleration in a short time by the braking means C at the time of emergency stop. - In this way, the construction of the paper roll support device is such that, in a state where both ends of the inner tube K of the paper roll R2 are supported by the
first support member 1 of the first support means A and thesecond support member 5 of the second support means D, contact force of thefirst support member 1 and thesecond support member 5 with respect to the inner tube K of the paper roll R2 can be obtained using mutual pressing force of the opposingfirst support member 1 andsecond support member 5 across the inner tube K of the paper roll R2. It is then made possible to easily carry out the change-over between the contact force at the time of normal operation and the larger contact force at the time of emergency stop. - Also, when removing the paper roll R from the paper roll support device S, a remove signal Q from a paper roll detachment controller, not shown, is issued to the paper roll detachment and change-over
means 8. By changing over thefluid movement paths tight chamber 72 b from theconnection port 73 b through the paper roll detachment and change-over means 8, thepiston 70 is moved in a direction away from the paper roll R by that fluid pressure. As a result of this movement of thepiston 70, fluid of the air-tight chamber 72 a passes from theconnection port 73 a, through the path change-over means 90 and is discharged from thedischarge port 81 of the paper roll detachment and change-overmeans 8. The fluid movement paths of the path change-over means 90 at this time are positioned in the paper roll R mounted state. As a result of movement of thepiston 70 away from the paper roll R, thesecond sleeve 6 andsecond support member 5 then also move away from the paper roll R and the paper roll R is removed from the paper roll support device S. - The effects of this invention are as described in the following.
- (1) Since it is possible to make contact force between a contact member of a support member and an inner tube of a paper roll large enough to prevent slip between the two at the time of emergency stop of a rotary press where a large force acts on contact sections of a support member for supporting the inner tube of the paper roll, at the time of emergency stop of the rotary press it is possible to prevent the occurrence of slip in a direction of rotation of the inner tube of the paper roll and contact sections of respective contact sections for supporting both ends of the paper roll. It is therefore possible to prevent abrasion of contact sections of the contact members.
- (2) Also, since it is possible to make the contact force between a contact member of a support member and an inner tube of a paper roll the minimum necessary to prevent slip in the rotation direction at the time of normal operation of a rotary press where a large force is not acting on contact sections of the inner tube of the paper roll and a support member for supporting the paper roll, not only is the durability of bearings of rotation sections of the respective support members improved, but also overall durability of a paper roll support device completely containing support means is also improved.
- (3) Also, with the invention disclosed in claim3 of this application, since the pressure change assigning means has fluid pressure setting means capable of changing, among two magnitudes of pressure to be assigned to at least one support means, at least the smaller pressure setting, it is possible to change settings by adjusting pressure in an axial direction to be assigned to a support member in response to differences in rotational inertia accompanying changes in weight of a paper roll, and it becomes possible to reduce the load conditions imposed on the paper roll support device. It is therefore possible to further improve the durability of the paper roll support device.
