Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for packaging a large number of laminates, such as magnetic tapes, wound around a hub having a central through hole, and a method for mounting the packaging device.

Conventional technology Traditionally, when transporting magnetic tape between factories or internationally, it is transported either in its original state before it is cut to the width or length of the finished product, or in its original state, or simply cut from the original tape to the width of the product. They are wound around shafts or hubs that have a central through hole, and are stored in containers for transportation and storage. Hereinafter, a product made by winding a magnetic tape cut from the original tape to the width of the product around a hub will be referred to as a pancake. As shown in FIG. 5, a foamed packaging body 14 capable of storing one reel of magnetic tape 12 wound around a hub 10 is used in a recess provided on one side of the container for pancakes. As shown in Figure 6, 5 stages to 1
After stacking them in 0 stages and finally placing an empty foam package on them and wrapping the whole thing with a band, they are stored in a cardboard box as is or after shrink-wrapping with a film.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such foamed packaging, thick foamed polystyrene is temporarily glued to a thin foamed polyethylene film, which makes it brittle.
A foamed polyethylene film is used to prevent dust from being generated from the foamed polystyrene board, which is easily damaged, and is used as a container and spacer for pancakes, and about 10 reels of it are assembled into one bag, but the exterior form is large. become. Therefore, there is a problem in that packaging material costs, logistics costs, etc. increase.

Furthermore, when a foamed polystyrene plate is used as a container and spacer for pancakes, even if a foamed polyethylene film is attached to a portion of the plate, a large amount of dust is still generated, which poses a problem. This is because foam packaging does not have great mechanical strength, so containers may have thin walls, be stacked up forcibly, tied tightly with bands, etc.
This is because if the band is handled roughly, the parts with a high external burden will be damaged, the band will dig into the inside, and dust will be generated. When such dust adheres to the surface of a magnetic tape, signal errors occur, resulting in distorted images in the case of video tapes, skipping of sounds in the case of audio tapes, and generation of noise.

Furthermore, since a container is required for each pancake, packing and unpacking becomes complicated, which increases the time, labor, and economic burden.

The present invention has been made by focusing on such conventional problems, and provides a tape laminate packaging device and its packaging device that improves workability, reduces material costs, distribution costs, etc., and does not easily generate dust. The purpose is to provide a mounting method.

When the protrusions 34 and 38 are fitted together, it is easily assembled and difficult to remove, and both side plates 18 and 20 can be easily fixed by aligning the positions in the same direction. Therefore, when one end 22 of the core 16 is fitted into the center through hole 32 of one side plate 18,
After inserting the core 16 of the tape 68 wound around the hub into the central through-hole thereof, and sequentially stacking up the chips 768 wound around the hub to form a laminate consisting of the required number of chips 768 wound around the hub. , the other side plate 20 is attached to the other end 24 of the center core 16.
The central through hole 36 of the laminate is inserted into the laminate, and the laminate is appropriately compressed and held between the side plates 18 and 20. When the tape laminate is formed in this manner, the core 16 is simply inserted into the central through hole of the tee 168 wound around the hub, which reduces the burden on the operator.

Thereafter, the tape 68 wrapped around the hub is wrapped in a small size, although the tape 68 is wrapped with a band or film shrink wrapped.

By fitting the protrusions 34 and 38 into the center core 16, the side plates 18 and 20 can be fixed to the center core 16 in a well-balanced manner. Moreover, since the core 16 stands perpendicular to the side plate 18 without falling downward from the center through hole 32 of one side plate 18, the center through hole of the chi 168 wound around the hub is inserted therein. This makes it convenient to form a tape laminate.

Furthermore, according to the tape laminate package mounting method described above, the tape 6 is wound around the hub with each end touching the hub from above the loading platform.
A plurality of lift shafts 60 that support 8 are inserted through the through hole 56 provided near the center through hole 32 of the side plate 18, and the center line 30 is inserted to the vicinity of the tip of the core 16 perpendicular to the side plate 18.

Example Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the correspondence relationship between main parts of a tape laminate packaging device to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a cylindrical core inserted into the central through hole of each hub in a plurality of stacked magnetic tapes (pancakes) wound around the hub; 18.2
0 is two rectangular side plates that sandwich the laminate. This center core 16 has pair of parallel grooves 26 (26a, 26b) and 2 as positioning recesses at both ends 22.24, respectively.
8 (28a, 28b), and those two pairs of parallel grooves 26
．． 28 are arranged on parallel lines that are symmetrical to the center line 30 of the center core 16. However, the length of the grooves is such that the parallel grooves 28 are longer than the parallel grooves 26. Incidentally, a positioning protrusion may be provided instead of the positioning recess. In addition, a through hole 32 into which one end 22 of the core 16 fits is formed in the center of one side plate 18, and a parallel groove 26 of the core 16 is formed on the inner periphery of the center through hole 32.
A pair of parallel protrusions 34 (34a, 34
b). Similarly, a through hole 36 into which the square end 24 of the center core 16 fits is formed in the center of the other side plate 20, and a pair of holes each fit into the parallel grooves 2B of the center core 16 are formed on the inner periphery of the center through hole 36. Parallel protrusions 38 (38a, 38b) are provided.

Further, each side plate 18.20 has frame-shaped projections 40.42 on the four sides as reinforcing projections, rectangular projections 44.46 in the center, and linear projections 48.46 connecting their corners to each other on their outer planes. 50 etc. are provided, and recesses 52 and 54 for hanging a band are provided in the center of the protrusions on each of the four sides.

Therefore, the shape, size, etc. of both side plates 18 and 20 are almost the same. However, the side plate 18 is provided with a pair of through holes 56 (56a, 56b) symmetrically with respect to the center line of the central through hole 32 on the outside near the parallel protrusions 34. As will be described later, when stacking a plurality of pancakes to form a tape laminate, these through holes 56 protrude from above the loading platform of the loading device, and each tip abuts the hub to allow the magnetic tape to be wound there. This is the insertion hole for the supporting lift shaft. Incidentally, if the number of lift shafts is increased, the number of such through holes will also be increased. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the tape laminate packaging tool further has a central through hole into which the core 16 is fitted.
A plurality of film spacers are required to protect the magnetic tape by being interposed between each pancake in the tape stack and between each pancake and the side plates 18, 20 at both ends of the tape stack.

It is convenient to use thin polyurethane foam for this film-like spacer because it generates less dust.

To attach such a packaging tool to a tape laminate, first fit one end 22 of the core 16 into the center through hole 32 of one side plate 18, and then insert the core 16 into the center through hole of the pancake or spacer. It is necessary to insert them and stack them accordingly to form a tape stack.

Naturally, the formation of this tape laminate can be performed mainly by manual labor. However, automation is desirable to improve productivity. Therefore, using a loading device, a cylindrical core 1 is inserted into the central through hole 32 of one side plate 18 placed on the loading platform.
6, and first stand it up as shown in FIG. At that time, by fitting the parallel protrusions 34 of the side plates 18 into the parallel grooves 26 of the core 16, the assembly is easy and the bales are difficult to assemble, and the side plates 18 can be fixed to the core 16 in a well-balanced manner. can. Moreover, since the core 16 stands perpendicular to the side plate 18 without falling downward from the center through hole 32 of the side plate 18, it can be inserted through the center through hole of a pancake or spacer to form a tape laminate. becomes possible. Next, the center shaft 58 is inserted into the center core 16 from above the loading platform so that its tip is slightly exposed to the outside. Similarly, two lift shafts 60 (60a, 60b
) is provided near the center through hole 32 of the side plate 18.
6 and protrude parallel to the center line 30 to near the tip of the core 16. In addition, the center shaft 58
When inserted into the core 16, the core 16 is corrected with respect to the side plate 18 and becomes exactly perpendicular. Next, the attachment/detachment hand 62 sucks and holds the spacer 64 with the vacuum provided therein, moves and descends in the direction of the arrow. When it is fitted to the tip of the center shaft 58, it stops, and at that position, the spacer 64 is released and the center core 16 is inserted into the center through hole 66.
Insert it and let it fall naturally. This spacer 64 rests on the tip of the lift shaft 60 and stops. Next, the pancake 68 is similarly held and moved using the @removal hand 62, released at a predetermined position, and dropped, and placed on top of the spacer 64 that was dropped earlier. However, the pancake 68 is fixed with a chuck rather than by vacuum suction. In addition, since the falling distance is small and about 10 to 20 mm, pancake 68
magnetic tape will not be scratched. In this way, pancakes 68 or spacers 64 are placed on the lift shaft 60 by sequence control, and each time a predetermined number of pancakes 68 are placed, for example, one, a drop corresponding to the thickness of the pancake 68 and spacer 64 is placed. Distance lift shaft 6
0 is constantly lowered, and the pancakes 68 are stacked one after another so that the film-like spacer 64 is interposed between them, and after counting the required number of pancakes 68, for example, 10 or 8 times, the spacer 64 is finally placed and automatically stacked. One pack of tape laminate is completed. When a laminate is formed in this way, the spacers 64 and pancakes 68 are stacked alternately, the membrane spacer 64 is simply interposed between the pancakes 68, and the core 16 is inserted into the central through hole 66 etc. This reduces the burden of work. Note that three parallel arrows in FIG. 2 indicate the moving directions of the center shaft 58 and the lift shaft 60, respectively, but during loading, the center shaft 58 maintains a constant protruding state and does not move. Next, the other side plate 20 is attached to the other end 24 of the center core 16.
, and the tape laminate is held between the side plates 18 and 20. At that time, if the parallel protrusions 38 of the side plates 20 are fitted into the parallel grooves 28 of the center core 16, it will be easy to assemble and difficult to remove, and the positions of the side plates 18 and 20 should be aligned in the same direction to maintain balance. Can be easily fixed. Note that if there are no positioning recesses or protrusions that fit into the center core and the side plates, the positions of the side plates will be twisted and not match, as shown in FIG. 3. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a band 74 is placed over the tape laminate 70 and packaging tool 72, and is appropriately compressed and tightened. At this time, the length of the parallel groove 28 provided on the other end 24 of the core 16 is made longer than the other,
Since the core 16 protrudes from the side plate 20 by that much, tightening becomes easy when the band 70 is hung, and uniform compression can be achieved without variation. In addition, even if you use film link wrapping instead of banding, each pancake will hold 68
Since only the membrane spacer 64 is interposed therebetween, the exterior form is compact. Therefore, storing it in a cardboard box or the like is convenient for transportation and storage.

In the tape laminate packaging device of claim 1, the core and the two side plates are easily assembled, both ends of the core are difficult to pull out from the central through hole of each side plate, and the positions of both side plates are aligned in the same direction. It can be easily fixed and the tape laminate can be appropriately compressed and held. Further, since the tape laminate is formed by inserting the core into each central through-hole of the tape wound around the hub, the burden during work is reduced. Furthermore, the generation of dust is reduced, and
The exterior form is small. Therefore, workability is improved and
Packaging material costs, logistics costs, etc. will be reduced, and problems with the tape due to dust adhesion will no longer occur.

In the tape laminate packaging device of claim 2, both side plates can be fixed to the core in a well-balanced manner, and the core can be erected perpendicularly to one side plate, which is convenient for forming a tape laminate. .

In the method for attaching a tape laminate packaging device according to claim 3, a plurality of through holes are formed in one side plate, and a lifting shaft and a removable hand provided therein are operated by sequence control using a loading device. , the tape laminate can be automatically attached to the packaging tool without damaging the tape.
