Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device suitable for loading a skin into a molding station.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as this type of device, an endless roller chain with claws that extends horizontally to the forming station is arranged so that two rows can be rotated, and the skin is inserted between the two endless roller chains so that both sides are inserted into the claws. There is one configured to rotate the endless roller chain and feed the skin to the forming station after the setting.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional device having such a structure, there are problems that the claws are worn early and that the accuracy of the position of the epidermis carried into the molding station is poor. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a skin transporting device that can clamp a skin and carry it into a molding station with high position accuracy without using a claw that is consumed. .

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a skin transporting device of the present invention is provided with a traveling platform composed of two plate members facing each other, a positioning mechanism for guiding and positioning the skin, and a lifting table for lifting the skin. The outer skin feeding station and the forming station are arranged so as to be capable of reciprocating, and a plurality of pressing members which are vertically rotated by a driving means are mounted on the traveling platform.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the apparatus thus configured, the epidermis is placed on the lifted lift table via the positioning mechanism, and then the lift table is lowered to put the epidermis on the traveling table. Next, the driving means is driven to rotate and lower the pressing member, the both sides of the skin are grasped from the upper and lower sides by the traveling base and the pressing member, and then the traveling base is moved to the molding station. As a result, the skin can be carried into the forming station with high accuracy.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, which is a partial sectional front view, a lifting table 1 for lowering the skin W to a required position can be lifted and lowered via an upward cylinder 2 at a skin feeding station for feeding the skin W to a facility. It is located at. Guide mechanisms 3 and 3 that extend horizontally to a molding station (not shown) are provided on the left and right sides of the lifting table 1 via support frames 4 and 4, and each guide mechanism 3 has a front-back direction. A plate member 5a directed to the direction is mounted, and these two plate members 5a and 5a constitute a traveling base 5 that can reciprocate in the front-back direction. Further, the upper surface level of the traveling platform 5 is made to substantially coincide with that of the elevating table 1 when descending. Further, the support frames 4 and 4 are provided with a positioning mechanism 6 that constitutes an adjustable right-angled wall surface when seen in a plan view and guides and positions the skin W.

Further, a cylinder 7 is mounted on the upper surface of each plate member 5a as a driving means for directing the piston rod toward the lifting table 1, and the link mechanism 8 is attached to the tip end of the piston rod of the cylinder 7. The pressing member 9 is mounted via the pressing member 9, and the pressing members 9 and 9 are vertically rotated by the expansion and contraction operation of the cylinders 7 and 7 to be pressed and separated from the plate members 5a and 5a. ing. Further, both ends of the roller chain 10 are fixed to the front and rear ends of each plate member 5a, and the roller chains 10 and 10 are provided between a chain wheel (not shown) axially supported by the skin feeding station and the forming station, respectively. Have been laid over.

The operation of the apparatus thus configured will be described. First, the cylinder 2 is extended to raise the elevating table 1 to a position above the traveling table 5, and then a predetermined skin W is placed on the elevating table 1 via the positioning mechanism 6 in a positionally accurate manner. Next, the cylinder 2 is contracted to lower the lifting table 1 to the position of the traveling table 5, the skin W is placed on the traveling table 5, and then the cylinders 7 and 7 are extended to operate the pressing member 9, 9 is rotated and lowered, and the peripheral portion of the skin W is grasped by the pressing members 9 and 9 and the traveling platform 5 from both upper and lower sides. Next, a motor with a speed reducer (not shown) is driven to rotate the roller chains 10 and 10, and the traveling table 5 is used to carry the skin into the heating station and the forming station.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above description, the present invention provides a running table composed of two plate members facing each other, a skin feeding station having a positioning mechanism for guiding and positioning the skin and an elevating table for raising and lowering the skin. It is arranged so that it can move back and forth between the molding station and a plurality of pressing members that can be rotated up and down by the drive means are mounted on this traveling base, so that the skin can be placed on the traveling base via the lifting table. Since it can be set accurately, the skin can be accurately brought in to the predetermined position of the molding station, and since it does not use wear-prone pawls, maintenance management is easy and, in addition, the traveling platform Since it is composed of two plate members, it has excellent practical effects such as being able to handle various kinds of skins of different lengths.
