Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tape case that is included in a device that binds multiple piles of laver with paper tape.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when stacking and binding multiple sheets of nori, a device has already been developed that uses a special tape coated with polyethylene on one side and binds it by heat sealing. It is rolled up and placed in a binding device. However, when binding with paper tape, it is done manually, and in that case, paper tape that has been cut to a predetermined length is used, but a tape case that stores such paper tape and is provided in the binding device is used. has not been developed yet. In addition, when binding special tapes by heat sealing, it is difficult to untie the bundled items without cutting the tapes during sampling inspections, etc., and the unraveled tapes cannot be reused, and the name of the place of origin, quality indication, etc. Since there are drawbacks such as the inability to position the display mark at a desired position, manual binding using paper tape is often performed.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) When manually binding paper tape, the tape of a predetermined length can be stored in any case, and the tape case does not pose a particular problem. However, manual work is inefficient and results in uneven binding. It goes without saying that automatic bundling with a bundling device requires a tape case that can sequentially supply tapes of a predetermined length to the bundling device, and automatic bundling is impossible without such a tape case. be.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tape case that is included in a device that automatically binds multiple sheets of seaweed using paper tape, and from which tapes of a predetermined length can be appropriately taken out one after another.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The tape case according to the present invention includes a U-shaped body with an open inner side, and a predetermined length of tape is stacked and stacked inside the body along the body. It is equipped with a jiyama claw on the inside of both ends of the main body.
and both sides of the body are provided with a pivoted lever and a ball abutting the lever, such that the free end of the lever comes into contact with the tape inside the body through an opening formed in the outer surface of the body. The ball is housed in an elongated case and further includes a drive device for tilting the case.

(Operation of the above-mentioned means) The tapes in the tape case are sucked and taken out at both ends starting from the innermost one, but the next tape is held down by the jamb claws at both ends and remains there. Each time a tape is removed, the drive unit tilts the case containing the balls, and the balls roll under gravity and hit the lever, so that the lever pivots and its free end picks up the tape in the tape case. Push it inward so that the innermost tape is always in contact with the jiyama nail.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the tape case according to the present invention generally has a U-shape, and a predetermined length of tape T is stacked upright along the U-shaped main body 1. The inner side of the body is open, and in some cases the upper side is also open as shown. Therefore, in this case, the main body 1 is composed of a bottom surface 1a and an outer side surface 1b.

The main body 1 is provided with jamb claws 2 on the inside of both ends thereof to prevent the tape ends from protruding inward, and is further provided with pivot levers 3 and balls 4 that abut against the levers in close proximity to the outer surfaces of both sides of the main body. ing.

More preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, air nozzles 5 are provided above both ends of the main body 1 to blow air downward, thereby loosening both ends of the tape T inside the main body.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lever 3 is pivoted at a suitable portion, preferably at one end, and has an opening 6 formed in the outer surface on both sides of the main body at a position close to the end; The free state of the lever 3 is such that it contacts the tape in the body 1 through its opening 6.

The ball 4 is placed in a freely movable state in an elongated case 7 provided along the outer surface of the main body, and a part of the lever 3 is placed in the open part of the case, so that the ball 4 is moved by gravity. When it moves, it comes into contact with lever 3,
It is designed to pivot a lever. For this purpose, the case 7 or the main body 1 to which the case 7 is fixed is pivoted at one end 7a, and is provided with a drive device for tilting the case, preferably an air cylinder 8 as shown. In the illustrated example, two balls 4 are provided on each side, but in some cases, only one ball 4 may be provided. Further, the ball 4 does not necessarily need to be housed in an elongated case, and may have other configurations as long as it moves by gravity and hits the lever 3.

Preferably, the free end 3 of the lever 3 as shown
b is located near the end of the main body 1. 4 and 5, the case 7 is tilted and the ball 4 is rolled,
This shows the state in which the ball 4 is in contact with the lever 3. When the ball 4 hits the lever 3 in this way, the free end 3b of the lever hits the tape T and pushes the tape inward, causing the tape to come in from the inside as described below. Makes it easy to take out.

In some cases, as shown in FIG. 6, each lever 3 may have its pivot portion 3a located close to the end of the main body 1, and its free end 3b at a position as far away as from the end of the main body. You can leave it there.

When binding seaweed, as shown in FIG. 7, it is used in combination with a tape pull-out device 10, and the seaweed A to be bound is placed inside the tape case 1, and a pair of tapes each having vacuum pads 11 and 12 at the tips thereof are used. The arms 13 and 14 move forward as shown by the imaginary lines, approach the inner surfaces of both ends of the tape in the tape case, attract each tape end, and retreat to pull out the tape T, as shown in FIG. Wrap the tape around seaweed A as shown.

The bottom side 9 of the central part of this tape case body is the first
As shown in the figure, it is preferable that the tape protrudes inward, thereby preventing the tape from sagging when being pulled out and making it suitable for winding the tape.

When pulling out the tape, a jamb claw 2 holds down the end of the tape and allows the tape to be pulled out one by one. Each time one tape is pulled out, the case 7 is tilted back and forth once by the air cylinder 8, and the levers 3 on each side act to push the tape inward once. Usually, the case 7 is fixed to the main body 1, so that the case 7 is tilted together with the main body 1.

After winding the tape in this way, as shown in Figure 9, (a) align both sides T1 and T2 of the tape T around which seaweed A is wrapped, and (b) tie both sides of the tape 45 mm on the base side. (c) Fold both sides of the tape and hang it down.
Rotate 90 degrees so that it is close to and parallel to the surface of the seaweed, (d) Then insert both sides of the tape with hanging parts moderately inside the tape that extends horizontally to the surface of the seaweed, and fold it in half. Finish the bond. or as shown by the phantom lines in Figure 9d, the tape is inserted and raised, and then (e) both sides of the tape thus raised are lowered through the outside of the tape extending horizontally to the surface of the seaweed, ( f) Raise both sides of the tape again in the same way to finish binding.

(Effects of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, it is possible to hold a tape of a predetermined length in a state where it can be appropriately taken out one after another. Therefore, it can be provided in an automatic seaweed binding device that uses a predetermined length of tape, especially paper tape, and contributes to such automatic binding.
