Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to enhance the speed of production by providing at least two mill roll stands each supporting a pair of arms, rotatably between an operating position and a set position, and by preparing several paper material rolls in the next order. CONSTITUTION:During operation of an initial paper material roll A, other paper material rolls B, C, D are previously set on arms 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 12, 12a, and upon occurrence of an order change the operation is changed over from the paper material roll A into the paper material roll B so as to cope with the next order. Thereafter, during operation of the paper material roll B, the paper material roll C is moved to the operating position of the paper material roll A by means of a mill roll stand 3a, and the paper material roll A which has been used no more is removed out of the line by means of an introduction carrier vehicle 5a while the next roll is conveyed to a paper material chucking position. At this position the roll is chucked by means of empty arms 11, 11a so as to be previously set up.

Conventional technology Conventionally, such a method of supplying base paper has been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-1.
As described in Publication No. 30848, a guide rail is laid along the base paper conveyance path to the mill roll stand,
A base paper stock shooter and a remaining base paper discharge device are installed at appropriate intervals near the guide rail, and
There are some devices that use a device in which two carts connected on the guide rail are spaced equidistantly from each other with the installation spacing of the base paper stock shooter and the remaining base paper discharge device, and are capable of moving forward and backward. In this case, the base paper for the next order can only be prepared in advance on the empty arm of the mill roll stand, and it takes a considerable amount of time to transport the base paper to the mill roll stand, which limits the time it takes to change the base paper. has been occurring, and has the disadvantage that it cannot respond to improvements in productivity in the current situation where there is an increasing demand for faster production speeds or diversification of production lots.

In short, the present invention provides a pair of arms 9.9a, 10, which are configured to chuck an appropriate number of rolled base paper at relative positions below the splicer 2 disposed above, when supplying base paper to a corrugating machine. , Oa, ]1
, lla, 12.12a, and the arms 9.9a, 10.10a, 11, Il
a. A carry-in cart on which at least two or more mill roll stands 3.3a each having 12.12a rotatably set in a working position and a setting position are installed, and the roll base paper is transported to the mill roll stands 3.3a. 5.5a is placed on the setting position, and the roll base paper that is being sequentially chunked is continuously rotated and moved to the working position to feed the base paper, so that the operation time of roll base paper A is increased. 'tt=, roll base paper B, C, D is placed in advance on arm 9.
.. 9a, 10.10a, 11.11a, 12.12a
When an order change occurs, roll base paper A is moved to roll base paper B to deal with the next order, and then, while roll base paper B is in operation, roll base paper C is moved to the operating position for the roll base paper, which is unnecessary. The rolled base paper A is discharged outside the line, and the rolled base paper F is
is conveyed to the chucking position, and at this position is chucked by the arms 11, ], 1a, and then raised in advance by the seven positions, it is possible to set a sufficient time interval, and furthermore, the next order change occurs. At the time, the roll base paper B is transferred to the roll base paper C to deal with the next order, and then, while the roll base paper C is in operation, the roll base paper is moved by the mill roll stand 3 to the operating position of the roll base paper B, so that the roll base paper is no longer needed. At the same time, the rolled base paper B is discharged out of the line by the carry-in cart 5, and the roll base paper G is conveyed to the chucking position, and is chucked at this position by the arm 10.10a, thereby allowing sufficient time. By making it possible to specify intervals and making such operations repeated in a related manner, it is possible to reduce the time it takes to change the paper rolls, thereby increasing the production speed or increasing the variety of production lofts. The practical effects are tremendous, such as being able to respond to changes in technology, improving productivity, and being able to adapt to existing equipment.
