From this, a current for plating is applied to the protrusion 35 of the pane of the engagement shaft 27, and further, a current for plating is applied to the roll R fitted to the protrusion 35.

The suppressing mechanism 51, the rotating mechanism 55, and the current-carrying body 60 are provided as necessary in each of the processing stations 3-- for the pre-treatment, plating treatment, post-treatment, and polishing treatment.

Then, in the roll conveyance processing apparatus of this embodiment, at the preparation station 1, the lifting frame 11 of the conveying body 9 is lowered, and the supports 26 of the adapter 25 are attached to the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 at the bottom of the lifting frame 11, respectively. , its −Qi: protrusion 3
5 facing inward and facing each other, a roll R is placed between the protrusions 36 of the engagement shafts 27 of the pair of adapters 25, and the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 are closed by the drive mechanism 16. By doing so, the projections 36 of the engagement shafts 27 of the pair of adapters 25 are fitted to both ends of the roll R, and the gaskets 37 of the engagement shafts 27 of each adapter 25 are brought into close contact with both ends of the roll R. , J: The pair of adapters 25 and the roll R are integrally supported on the carrier 9.

Note that here, in the preparation station 1, the carrier 9
Although the adapter 25 is supported on the opening/closing body 14 of the carrier 9, the present invention is not limited to this, and the adapter 25 may be supported on the opening/closing body 14 of the transport body 9 in advance at a separately provided storage station for the adapter 25.

After the roll R is supported on the carrier 9 via the pair of adapters 25 at the preparation station 1, the elevating frame 11 of the carrier 9 is raised, and the carrier 9 is subjected to the above-mentioned pre-treatment, plating treatment, and post-treatment. , to each processing station 3 to 6 for polishing processing (the roll R is sequentially transported, and each processing station 3 to 6 performs the respective processing on the roll R.

In each processing station 3 to 6, after lowering the lifting frame 11 of the conveyor 9 and mounting the roll R together with the adapters 25 at both ends in a predetermined processing device, the actuator 53 of the pressing mechanism 51 is activated to press The protrusion 52 of the mechanism 51 fits into the recess 41 of at least one of the engagement shafts 27 of the pair of adapters 25, and the protrusion 52 of the pressing mechanism 51
At least one of the pair of adapters 25 is biased toward the other adapter 25, and J- indicates a state in which the engagement shaft 27 of the pair of adapters 25 and the roll R are integrally connected. This state is maintained and predetermined processing is performed, so that during processing,
The supports 26 of the pair of adapters 25 can be removed from the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 at the lower part of the lifting frame 11, and therefore, the lifting frame 11 of the carrier 9 can be moved with the arms around it. Therefore, using this conveyor 9, you can combine other rolls R and a pair of adapters 25, or combine other rolls R and adapters 25 at each processing station 3-
・You can move between 6.

When the processing is completed at each processing station 3 to 6, the conveyor 9 is moved to the processing station 3 to 6, the lifting frame 11 is lowered, and the roll R is attached to the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 at the bottom of the lifting frame 11. Supports 26 for adapters 25 at both ends
By supporting the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 in the closing direction with the drive mechanism 16, the engagement shaft body 27 of the pair of adapters 25 and the roll R are maintained in an integrally connected state, In this state, the protrusion 52 of the pressing mechanism 51 is removed from the engagement shaft 27 of the adapter 25, and then the elevating frame 11 is raised to move the carrier 9 to the next processing stations 4-6.

In addition, the protrusion 52 is rotated by the motor 55 of the rotation mechanism 55, and the roll R is rotated, the current-carrying body 60 is brought into contact with the outer periphery of the current collector 42 at the other end of the engagement shaft 27, and the necessary current is applied to the roll R.

If the pre-processing station 3 is occupied, the pair of adapters 25 and rolls R supported on the transport body 9 at the preparation station 1 are transported to the standby station 2 and unloaded there. Make it standby.

When the polishing process at the processing station 6 in the final stage is completed, the carrier 9 is moved to the processing station 6, the lifting frame 11 is lowered, and the roll R is attached to the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 at the bottom of the lifting frame 11. Supports 2 for adapters 25 at both ends
6 and force the pair of opening/closing bodies 14 in the closing direction with the drive IIj and mechanism 16,
The engaging shaft 27 of the adapter 25 and the roll R are maintained connected in this direction, and in this state, the protrusion 52 of the pressing mechanism 51 is removed from the engaging shaft 27 of the adapter 25. After that, the cargo unloading frame 11 is raised to move the carrier 9 to the next unloading station 7, and the pair of adapters 25 and roll R supported on the carrier 9 are lowered to this unloading station 7. and disassemble roll R.

In addition, FIG. 3 shows a state in which a socket 65 is installed between the engaging shaft body 27 of the adapter 25 and the roll R when the length of the roll R is short. Similar to the engagement shaft body 27 of the adapter 25, a truncated cone-shaped protrusion 35 that fits into the opening at the end of the roll R and an annular end face around the opening of the roll Rm are provided at the lower end thereof. A cylindrical sleeve 36 is provided concentrically with the sleeve 36, and a packing 37 made of rubber or the like is provided on the end surface of the sleeve 36, and the engagement shaft 27 of the adapter 25 is provided on the other end on the opposite side. A recess 66 is formed to fit into the protrusion 35, and by using this sock 1-65, the same adapter 25 can be used for multiple types of rolls R having different lengths.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the support supporting the engagement shaft can be removed from the opening/closing body on the conveyor side, so when not in use l), the support supporting the engagement shaft can be removed from the engagement shaft and the support. It is only necessary to store only the part of the roll with an adapter attached to one end of the roll, which saves storage space and requires only one part of the roll to be stored using an adapter attached to one end of the roll. This makes the work extremely easy as it is difficult to handle such lightweight objects.
