The feeding device has a feed section that feeds the foil body in a feed direction parallel to a pair of side ends of the foil body, a first foil body presser, and a second foil body presser. The first foil body presser and the second foil body presser feed the foil body between the feed section and the corrugating section toward the corrugating section. The first foil body presser and the second foil body presser each have a pressing section that applies a predetermined tension to the foil body in the feed direction while pressing the non-perforated section when the foil body moves in the feed direction. The separation direction between the pressing section of the first foil body presser and the pressing section of the second foil body presser is parallel to the feed direction.

Description

本発明は、箔体の送り装置、及び、箔体に対する波付け装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a foil body feeding device and a corrugating device for a foil body.

内燃機関から排出される排ガスに含まれる有害物質を浄化させる排気ガス浄化触媒（フィルタ）が用いられる。排気ガス浄化触媒は、触媒が配置されるメタル担体の基体となるハニカム体が外筒内に保持される。 An exhaust gas purification catalyst (filter) is used to purify harmful substances contained in the exhaust gas emitted from the internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas purification catalyst is made of a honeycomb body that serves as the base of the metal carrier on which the catalyst is placed, and is held inside an outer cylinder.

メタル担体の基体となるハニカム体は、一般に、それぞれ箔状の平板と波板とが交互に積層された構造体が、ロール状に巻回して製造される。例えば日本国特開平７－１０８１７６号公報、日本国特開２００５－０６６６６５号公報に開示されているように、平板に積層される波板を製造する場合、例えばコイル材（原反ロール）等の供給源から繰り出される箔体（箔状の平板）を送り装置で送り、波付け部で波付け加工されて形成される。The honeycomb body that serves as the base of the metal carrier is generally manufactured by winding a structure in which foil-like flat sheets and corrugated sheets are alternately laminated into a roll. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication Nos. 7-108176 and 2005-066665, when manufacturing a corrugated sheet to be laminated on a flat sheet, a foil body (foil-like flat sheet) unwound from a supply source such as a coil material (raw material roll) is fed by a feeding device and corrugated in a corrugating section.

この場合、波板を形成するための箔体が波付け部に蛇行して送られると、波付け部で波付けされた波板の品質にバラツキが生じ得る。このため、箔体は、供給源から繰り出される箔体を所定の方向に蛇行を抑制しながら送ることが求められる。In this case, if the foil used to form the corrugated sheet is sent to the corrugating section in a meandering manner, this can cause variation in the quality of the corrugated sheet produced in the corrugating section. For this reason, it is necessary to send the foil sheet unwound from the supply source in a specified direction while suppressing meandering.

この発明は、繰り出される箔体を所定の送り方向に送る際に、蛇行を抑制しながら送ることが可能な、箔体の送り装置、及び、その送り装置を含む箔体に対する波付け装置を提供することを目的とする。The object of the present invention is to provide a foil body feeding device capable of feeding the foil body in a predetermined feeding direction while suppressing meandering, and a corrugating device for the foil body including the feeding device.

一態様に係る箔体の送り装置は、互いに平行に延出する１対の側端を有し、少なくとも一部に一方向の送り方向に沿って連続して延びる非穿孔部を有する前記箔体を、波付け加工を施す波付け部に向けて送る。送り装置は、前記箔体を前記１対の側端と平行は方向に送り出す送り出し部と、前記送り出し部と前記波付け部との間の経路上に設けられ、前記送り出し部と前記波付け部との間の前記箔体を前記波付け部に向けて送り出す第１の箔体押さえと、前記第１の箔体押さえと前記波付け部との間の経路上に設けられ、前記第１の箔体押さえと前記箔体の送り方向に沿って離間し、前記波付け部と前記第１の箔体押さえとの間の前記箔体を前記波付け部に向けて送り出す、第２の箔体押さえと、を有する。前記第１の箔体押さえ及び前記第２の箔体押さえは、前記箔体が前記送り方向に移動する際に前記非穿孔部を押圧しながら、前記箔体に対して前記送り方向に所定の張力を負荷する押圧部をそれぞれ有する。前記第１の箔体押さえの前記押圧部と、前記第２の箔体押さえの前記押圧部との離間方向は、前記送り方向に平行である。前記非穿孔部が、前記箔体の前記１対の側端の延出方向に直交する前記箔体の幅方向中央部であって前記側端に平行に形成されているとき、前記第１の箔体押さえの前記押圧部及び前記第２の箔体押さえの前記押圧部は、それぞれ、前記箔体の前記非穿孔部の領域内を前記非穿孔部の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえる。 A foil body feeding device according to one embodiment feeds a foil body having a pair of side ends extending parallel to each other and having at least a portion of a non-perforated portion extending continuously along one feed direction toward a corrugating portion where corrugation is performed. The feeding device includes a feed section that feeds the foil body in a direction parallel to the pair of side ends, a first foil body presser that is provided on a path between the feed section and the corrugating portion and feeds the foil body between the feed section and the corrugating portion toward the corrugating portion, and a second foil body presser that is provided on a path between the first foil body presser and the corrugating portion and is spaced from the first foil body presser along the feed direction of the foil body and feeds the foil body between the corrugating portion and the first foil body presser toward the corrugating portion. The first foil body presser and the second foil body presser each have a pressing section that applies a predetermined tension to the foil body in the feed direction while pressing the non-perforated portion when the foil body moves in the feed direction. A direction in which the pressing portion of the first foil body presser and the pressing portion of the second foil body presser are spaced apart is parallel to the feed direction. When the non-perforated portion is formed in a central portion of the foil body in a width direction perpendicular to a direction in which the pair of side ends of the foil body extend and parallel to the side ends, the pressing portion of the first foil body presser and the pressing portion of the second foil body presser each press the foil body within the region of the non-perforated portion with a surface that is the same as or narrower than the width of the non-perforated portion.

本発明によれば、繰り出される箔体を所定の送り方向に送る際に、蛇行を抑制しながら送ることが可能な、箔体の送り装置、及び、その送り装置を含む箔体に対する波付け装置を提供することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a foil body feeding device capable of feeding the foil body in a predetermined feeding direction while suppressing meandering, and a corrugating device for the foil body including the feeding device.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a corrugating device 10 which is a part of a manufacturing apparatus 200 for a honeycomb body 300 which serves as a base for a metal carrier. Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the corrugating device 10 of the manufacturing apparatus 200 shown in Fig. 1 as seen from above. Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a conveying device 400 and a winding device 500 which are part of the manufacturing apparatus 200 for forming a honeycomb body 300 using a corrugated sheet 100a corrugated by the corrugating device 10 of the manufacturing apparatus 200 shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
1 to 3, an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system is defined. The X-axis is along the transport direction of the thin foil body 100 (corrugated sheet 100a) and flat sheet 150. The Y-axis is along the width direction of the foil body 100 (corrugated sheet 100a) and flat sheet 150. The width direction is perpendicular to the transport direction. The Z-axis is perpendicular to the transport direction and width direction of the foil body 100 (corrugated sheet 100a) and flat sheet 150. It is preferable that the Z-axis be oriented vertically.

まず、メタル担体の基体となるハニカム体３００の一連の製造方法（製造工程）について簡単に説明する。
図１及び図２に示すように、箔体１００を加工して波板１００ａを形成する。そして、波板１００ａを所定長さに切断した後、図３に示すように、その波板１００ａの例えば下側に、所定長さの平板１５０を配置して、搬送装置４００のチャック４１０ａ，４１０ｂで波板１００ａと平板１５０とを重ねた積層体を巻回装置５００に搬送する。このとき、波板１００ａの長さ（箔体１００の長さではない）と、平板１５０の長さは、同じであってもよく、異なっていてもよく、後述するようにロール状に巻回しハニカム体３００を形成したときに、平板１５０の長手方向端部に対して波板１００ａの長手方向端部が出っ張りすぎず、引き込まれすぎていなければよい。 First, a series of manufacturing methods (manufacturing steps) for the honeycomb body 300 that serves as the base of the metal carrier will be briefly described.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the foil body 100 is processed to form a corrugated sheet 100a. After cutting the corrugated sheet 100a to a predetermined length, a flat sheet 150 of a predetermined length is placed, for example, below the corrugated sheet 100a, as shown in Figure 3, and a laminate of the corrugated sheet 100a and the flat sheet 150 is transported to a winding device 500 by chucks 410a and 410b of a transport device 400. At this time, the length of the corrugated sheet 100a (not the length of the foil body 100) and the length of the flat sheet 150 may be the same or different, and it is sufficient that the longitudinal end of the corrugated sheet 100a does not protrude too much or is not retracted too much relative to the longitudinal end of the flat sheet 150 when the corrugated sheet 100a is wound into a roll to form a honeycomb body 300 as described later.

そして、巻回装置５００は、平板１５０が巻回装置５００のローラ５１０ａ，５１０ｂ上を移動しながら、所定の回転軸５００ａの軸回りに、波板１００ａと平板１５０とを重ねた積層体をロール状に巻回することにより、ハニカム体３００を形成する。なお、箔体１００の送り装置１２と、巻回装置５００との配置によっては、回転軸５００ａは、後述する回転軸２２ａ１と平行である。また、巻回装置５００のローラ５１０ａ，５１０ｂは回転軸５００ａと平行である。さらに、巻回装置５００のローラ５１０ａ，５１０ｂは、回転軸２２ａ１と平行であり得る。 Then, the winding device 500 forms the honeycomb body 300 by winding the laminate of the corrugated sheet 100a and the flat sheet 150 into a roll around a predetermined rotation axis 500a while the flat sheet 150 moves on the rollers 510a and 510b of the winding device 500. Depending on the arrangement of the feed device 12 for the foil body 100 and the winding device 500, the rotation axis 500a is parallel to the rotation axis 22a1 described below. The rollers 510a and 510b of the winding device 500 are also parallel to the rotation axis 500a. Furthermore, the rollers 510a and 510b of the winding device 500 may be parallel to the rotation axis 22a1.

箔体１００（波板１００ａ）及び平板１５０は、例えばステンレス鋼材等の金属材で形成される。The foil body 100 (corrugated sheet 100a) and the flat sheet 150 are formed from a metal material such as stainless steel.

本実施形態では、主に、図１及び図２に示すように、箔体１００を加工して波板１００ａを製造する、波付け装置１０について説明する。波付け装置１０で製造し、切断した波板は、平板１５０と重ねられて巻回装置５００によりハニカム体３００が形成される際、ハニカム体３００を所定の品質に形成するように、波板１００ａの波付けを所定の品質に形成することが求められる。In this embodiment, a corrugating device 10 is mainly described which processes a foil body 100 to produce a corrugated sheet 100a as shown in Figures 1 and 2. When the corrugated sheet produced and cut by the corrugating device 10 is layered on a flat sheet 150 and a honeycomb body 300 is formed by a winding device 500, it is required that the corrugation of the corrugated sheet 100a be formed to a predetermined quality so that the honeycomb body 300 is formed to a predetermined quality.

波付け装置１０は、箔体１００の送り装置１２と、箔体１００に波付け加工を施す波付け部１４とを有する。The corrugating device 10 has a feeding device 12 for the foil body 100 and a corrugating section 14 that applies corrugation processing to the foil body 100.

図２に示すように、本実施形態では、箔体１００は、少なくとも一部に一方向の送り方向（Ｘ軸方向）に沿って連続して延びる非穿孔部（非穿孔帯）１１０を有し、１対の側端（両端）１１２，１１４が互いに平行に延出される。箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域は、非穿孔部１１０として形成される。なお、本実施形態に係る箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む側端領域に加えて、１対の側端１１２，１１４に対して離間する位置、例えば、１対の側端１１２，１１４間の幅方向中央部の領域の、計３つの領域が、非穿孔部１１０として形成される。すなわち、箔体１００は、本実施形態では、長手方向に沿って長く、幅方向に並べられた３つの非穿孔部１１０を有する。2, in this embodiment, the foil body 100 has at least a non-perforated portion (non-perforated band) 110 that extends continuously along one feed direction (X-axis direction), and a pair of side ends (both ends) 112, 114 extend parallel to each other. The region including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 is formed as the non-perforated portion 110. In addition to the side end region including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 according to this embodiment, a total of three regions are formed as the non-perforated portion 110, including a position spaced apart from the pair of side ends 112, 114, for example, a region in the width direction center between the pair of side ends 112, 114. That is, in this embodiment, the foil body 100 has three non-perforated portions 110 that are long along the longitudinal direction and aligned in the width direction.

箔体１００の長手方向は、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４の延出方向に沿う方向として規定される。また、箔体１００の幅方向は、１対の側端１１２，１１４の延出方向（長手方向）に直交する方向（短手方向）として規定される。The longitudinal direction of the foil body 100 is defined as the direction along the extension direction of the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100. The width direction of the foil body 100 is defined as the direction (short direction) perpendicular to the extension direction (longitudinal direction) of the pair of side ends 112, 114.

隣接する非穿孔部１１０間は、それぞれ例えば円形状の穿孔１２２が規則的に並べられて形成された、穿孔部（穿孔帯）１２０として形成される。穿孔部１２０の穿孔１２２は、箔体１００の延出方向（送り方向）に沿って所定間隔に並べられている。穿孔部１２０の穿孔１２２は、箔体１００の延出方向に直交する幅方向に沿って所定間隔にジグザグに並べられている。穿孔１２２の形状は、多角形や、楕円等、適宜の形状に形成され得る。Between adjacent non-perforated sections 110, a perforated section (perforated band) 120 is formed in which, for example, circular perforations 122 are regularly arranged. The perforations 122 of the perforated section 120 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the extension direction (feed direction) of the foil body 100. The perforations 122 of the perforated section 120 are arranged in a zigzag pattern at predetermined intervals along the width direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the foil body 100. The shape of the perforations 122 can be formed into any suitable shape, such as a polygon or an ellipse.

なお、ここでは箔体１００に穿孔部１２０を有する例について説明するが、穿孔部１２０（穿孔１２２）は必ずしも必要というわけではない。すなわち、箔体１００の全部が非穿孔部１１０として形成されていてもよい。Here, an example is described in which the foil body 100 has the perforated portion 120, but the perforated portion 120 (perforations 122) is not necessarily required. In other words, the entire foil body 100 may be formed as the non-perforated portion 110.

また、コイル材２２ａの箔体１００には、予め穿孔部１２０が形成されていることが好適である。なお、箔体１００がコイル材２２ａから送り装置１２に送られる直前に、すなわち、コイル材２２ａと送り装置１２との間で、打ち抜き加工等により、穿孔部１２０が形成されてもよい。In addition, it is preferable that the foil body 100 of the coil material 22a is pre-formed with the perforated portion 120. The perforated portion 120 may be formed by punching or the like immediately before the foil body 100 is fed from the coil material 22a to the feed device 12, i.e., between the coil material 22a and the feed device 12.

送り装置１２は、供給部２２と、押圧部２４０及び受部２４１を有する第１の箔体押さえ（ゲート）２４と、押圧部２６０及び受部２６１を有する第２の箔体押さえ（ゲート）２６と、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂとを有する。The feed device 12 has a supply section 22, a first foil body holder (gate) 24 having a pressing section 240 and a receiving section 241, a second foil body holder (gate) 26 having a pressing section 260 and a receiving section 261, and a pair of guide members 28a, 28b.

供給部２２の一例は、箔体１００をロール状に巻いたコイル材（原反ロール）２２ａである。箔体１００は、例えば円筒状の芯材（図示せず）に巻き付けられるコイル材２２ａから引き出される。コイル材２２ａの回転軸２２ａ１は、Ｙ軸に平行で、床面に水平である。箔体１００は、Ｚ軸に沿う厚さが一定の薄板状で、Ｙ軸に沿う幅に対してＸ軸に沿う長手方向（延出方向）が長く形成される。箔体１００の長手方向の長さは、少なくとも１０ｍ以上であり、例えば５０ｍ程度など、適宜に設定される。An example of the supply unit 22 is a coil material (original roll) 22a in which the foil body 100 is wound into a roll. The foil body 100 is drawn out from the coil material 22a, which is wound around a cylindrical core material (not shown), for example. The rotation axis 22a1 of the coil material 22a is parallel to the Y axis and horizontal to the floor surface. The foil body 100 is a thin plate with a constant thickness along the Z axis, and is formed such that its longitudinal direction (extension direction) along the X axis is longer than its width along the Y axis. The longitudinal length of the foil body 100 is at least 10 m or more, and is set appropriately, for example, to about 50 m.

供給部２２は、コイル材２２ａを回転軸２２ａ１の軸回りに回転させる。このため、供給部２２は、薄板状の箔体１００を一方向の所定の送り方向に送り出すことができる。この送り方向は、箔体１００の長手方向（送り方向）と平行である。The supply unit 22 rotates the coil material 22a around the axis of the rotation shaft 22a1. Therefore, the supply unit 22 can send out the thin foil body 100 in a predetermined feed direction. This feed direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction (feed direction) of the foil body 100.

第１の箔体押さえ２４は、コイル材２２ａと波付け部１４との間の経路上に設けられ、コイル材２２ａに対向して配置される。第１の箔体押さえ２４は、コイル材２２ａと波付け部１４との間の箔体１００を波付け部１４に向けて送り出す。このとき、第１の箔体押さえ２４は、供給部２２による箔体１００の供給、第２の箔体押さえ２６による箔体１００の押さえ、及び、波付け部１４による箔板１００の波付けと協働して、箔体１００の蛇行を抑制するように押さえる。The first foil body presser 24 is provided on the path between the coil material 22a and the corrugating section 14, and is positioned opposite the coil material 22a. The first foil body presser 24 sends out the foil body 100 between the coil material 22a and the corrugating section 14 toward the corrugating section 14. At this time, the first foil body presser 24 cooperates with the supply of the foil body 100 by the supply section 22, the holding of the foil body 100 by the second foil body presser 26, and the corrugation of the foil plate 100 by the corrugating section 14 to hold the foil body 100 so as to suppress meandering.

第２の箔体押さえ２６は、第１の箔体押さえ２４と波付け部１４との間の経路上に設けられる。第２の箔体押さえ２６は、第１の箔体押さえ２４と箔体１００の送り方向に沿って離間する。第２の箔体押さえ２６は、波付け部１４と第１の箔体押さえ２４との間の箔体１００を波付け部１４に向けて送り出す。このとき、第２の箔体押さえ２６は、供給部２２による箔体１００の供給、第１の箔体押さえ２４による箔体１００の押さえ、及び、波付け部１４による波付けと協働して、箔体１００の蛇行を抑制するように押さえる。The second foil body presser 26 is provided on the path between the first foil body presser 24 and the corrugating section 14. The second foil body presser 26 is spaced apart from the first foil body presser 24 along the feed direction of the foil body 100. The second foil body presser 26 sends out the foil body 100 between the corrugating section 14 and the first foil body presser 24 towards the corrugating section 14. At this time, the second foil body presser 26 cooperates with the supply of the foil body 100 by the supply section 22, the holding of the foil body 100 by the first foil body presser 24, and the corrugation by the corrugating section 14 to hold the foil body 100 so as to suppress meandering.

本実施形態では、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０は、箔体１００が搬送されているとき、送り方向に移動する箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を受部２４１に対して連続的に押圧する。押圧部２４０による押圧方向は、鉛直方向下向き（－Ｚ軸方向）であることが好適である。一方、本実施形態の第１の箔体押さえ２４では、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域を押圧していない。In this embodiment, when the foil body 100 is transported, the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 continuously presses the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center of the foil body 100 moving in the feed direction against the receiving portion 241. It is preferable that the pressing direction by the pressing portion 240 is vertically downward (-Z axis direction). On the other hand, the first foil body presser 24 of this embodiment does not press the area including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100.

また、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０は、箔体１００が搬送されているとき、送り方向に移動する箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を受部２６１に対して連続的に押圧する。押圧部２６０による押圧方向は、鉛直方向下向き（－Ｚ軸方向）であることが好適である。一方、本実施形態の第２の箔体押さえ２６では、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域を押圧していない。In addition, when the foil body 100 is transported, the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 continuously presses the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center of the foil body 100 moving in the feed direction against the receiving portion 261. It is preferable that the pressing direction by the pressing portion 260 is vertically downward (-Z axis direction). On the other hand, the second foil body presser 26 of this embodiment does not press the area including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100.

したがって、それぞれ第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組、及び、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組は、箔体１００の送り方向（Ｘ軸方向）に沿う長手方向に沿って連続して延びる箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を連続的に支持する。すなわち、箔体１００のうち、幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０は、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０により支持され、かつ、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０により支持されながら、所定方向（送り方向）に搬送される。Therefore, the pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 continuously support the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center of the foil body 100, which extends continuously along the longitudinal direction along the feed direction (X-axis direction) of the foil body 100. That is, the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center of the foil body 100 is supported by the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 and is supported by the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 while being transported in a predetermined direction (feed direction).

第１の箔体押さえ２４は、押圧部２４０を箔体１００及び受部２４１に向けて押圧するように伸縮するエアシリンダ（第１のエアシリンダ）２４４を有する。エアシリンダ２４４は、押圧部２４０の例えば直上に設けられ、押圧部２４０を上下方向に移動させる。エアシリンダ２４４は例えば一定の圧力で押圧部２４０のうち、幅方向中央部の押圧部２４０を箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０に向けて押圧し、その非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。すなわち、第１のエアシリンダ２４４は、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０を介して例えば一定の圧力で箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。第１の箔体押さえ２４は、箔体１００に対して、押圧部２４０と押圧部２４０に対向する受部２４１とによって、適宜の摺動抵抗を発揮させる。The first foil body presser 24 has an air cylinder (first air cylinder) 244 that expands and contracts to press the pressing portion 240 toward the foil body 100 and the receiving portion 241. The air cylinder 244 is provided, for example, directly above the pressing portion 240, and moves the pressing portion 240 in the vertical direction. The air cylinder 244 presses the pressing portion 240 in the width direction center of the pressing portion 240 toward the non-perforated portion 110 in the width direction center of the foil body 100 with a constant pressure, for example, and presses the non-perforated portion 110. That is, the first air cylinder 244 presses the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 with a constant pressure, for example, via the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24. The first foil body presser 24 exerts an appropriate sliding resistance against the foil body 100 by the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 facing the pressing portion 240.

第２の箔体押さえ２６は、押圧部２６０を箔体１００及び受部２６１に向けて押圧するように伸縮するエアシリンダ（第２のエアシリンダ）２６４を有する。エアシリンダ２６４は、押圧部２６０の例えば直上に設けられ、押圧部２６０を上下方向に移動させる。エアシリンダ２６４は例えば一定の圧力で押圧部２６０のうち、幅方向中央部の押圧部２６０を箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０に向けて押圧し、その非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。すなわち、第２のエアシリンダ２６４は、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０を介して例えば一定の圧力で箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。第２の箔体押さえ２６は、箔体１００に対して、押圧部２６０と押圧部２６０に対向する受部２６１とによって、適宜の摺動抵抗を発揮させる。The second foil body presser 26 has an air cylinder (second air cylinder) 264 that expands and contracts to press the pressing portion 260 toward the foil body 100 and the receiving portion 261. The air cylinder 264 is provided, for example, directly above the pressing portion 260, and moves the pressing portion 260 in the vertical direction. The air cylinder 264 presses the pressing portion 260 in the width direction center of the pressing portion 260 toward the non-perforated portion 110 in the width direction center of the foil body 100 with a constant pressure, for example, and presses the non-perforated portion 110. That is, the second air cylinder 264 presses the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 with a constant pressure, for example, via the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26. The second foil body presser 26 exerts an appropriate sliding resistance against the foil body 100 by the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 facing the pressing portion 260.

例えば、上流側の第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１とによる箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗の方が、下流側の第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１とによる箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗よりも大きいことが好適である。この場合、下流側の第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組の方が、上流側の第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組に比べて、箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を滑らせて、箔体１００を下流側に送りやすい。このため、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００に対して送り方向に沿って適宜の張力を与えることができ、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００が滞留して送り方向に撓むことを防止することができる。For example, it is preferable that the sliding resistance of the pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 of the upstream first foil body presser 24 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is greater than the sliding resistance of the pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 of the downstream second foil body presser 26 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100. In this case, the pair of the pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 of the downstream second foil body presser 26 can slide the non-perforated portion 110 in the width direction center of the foil body 100 and send the foil body 100 downstream more easily than the pair of the pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 of the upstream first foil body presser 24. As a result, an appropriate tension can be applied to the foil body 100 along the feed direction between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26, and the foil body 100 can be prevented from remaining between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26 and bending in the feed direction.

ここでの適宜の張力は、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で箔体１００が送り方向に沿う張力によっては切断されず、かつ、箔体１００が撓まずに波付け部１４のローラ１４ａ，１４ｂ間で波付けされる状態に、波付け部１４に搬送される張力を意味する。The appropriate tension here means a tension that is applied to the corrugating section 14 so that the foil body 100 is not cut by tension along the feed direction between the first foil body holder 24 and the second foil body holder 26, and the foil body 100 is corrugated between the rollers 14a, 14b of the corrugating section 14 without bending.

なお、供給部２２による箔体１００の送り速度が図示しない制御装置により調整されることで、第１の箔体押さえ２４の上流側での、箔体１００の滞留が抑制される。In addition, the feed speed of the foil body 100 by the supply unit 22 is adjusted by a control device not shown, thereby preventing the foil body 100 from stagnating upstream of the first foil body holder 24.

押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組、押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組における、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に当接される領域は、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０にキズを付けることがないように、角部がない形状に形成される。また、押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組、押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組のうち、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に当接される領域は、箔体１００の搬送時に箔体１００を撓ませることを防止し、平板状態を維持するように、ブレーキをかけすぎるような素材及び形状ではなく、適宜の滑り性を維持する素材及び形状が用いられる。The area of the pair of pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 and the pair of pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 that comes into contact with the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is formed into a shape without corners so as not to scratch the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100. In addition, the area of the pair of pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 and the pair of pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 that comes into contact with the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 uses a material and shape that maintains appropriate slipperiness rather than a material and shape that applies too much braking so as to prevent the foil body 100 from bending during transportation of the foil body 100 and to maintain a flat state.

なお、押圧部２４０，２６０は、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０の間の穿孔部１２０には接触しない大きさに形成される。In addition, the pressing portions 240, 260 are formed to a size such that they do not contact the perforated portions 120 between the non-perforated portions 110 of the foil body 100.

そして、本実施形態では、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０、及び、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０は、例えばそれぞれ所定方向（送り方向）に延びる線状に形成される。例えば、押圧部２４０，２６０の下端部のＹＺ平面での断面は、下に凸の半球状等、下に凸の曲面として形成される。なお、例えば、押圧部２４０が箔体１００に当接すると、弾性変形により、幅方向に適宜の幅を有し、長手方向に例えば押圧部２４０の長手方向の長さを有する接触面が形成される。このとき、押圧部２４０は、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０の領域内を非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえる。ここでは、押圧部２４０の長手方向がＸ軸方向に沿うとし、幅方向の幅の大きさを無視するものとする。この場合、押圧部２４０は、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０を直線状に押圧することができる。同様に、例えば、押圧部２６０が箔体１００に当接すると、弾性変形により、幅方向に適宜の幅を有し、長手方向に例えば押圧部２６０の長手方向の長さを有する接触面が形成される。このとき、押圧部２６０は、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０の領域内を非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえる。ここでは、押圧部２６０の長手方向がＸ軸方向に沿うとし、幅方向の幅の大きさを無視するものとする。この場合、押圧部２６０は、箔体１００の、押圧部２４０と同じ非穿孔部１１０を直線状に押圧することができる。これら押圧部２４０，２６０の直線状の押圧領域を結ぶ仮想的な線分は、箔体１００の送り方向と平行である。すなわち、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０との離間方向（仮想的な線分が沿う方向）は、供給部２２から箔体１００が送られる送り方向に平行である。このため、送り装置１２は、離間した２箇所（押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組）で箔体１００の共通の非穿孔部１１０を直線状に押圧しながら、箔体１００を所定方向に送る。したがって、箔体１００が振れることが抑制され、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０は、送り方向に負荷される上述した張力によって送り方向からずれ難く、箔体１００の蛇行が抑制された状態で、送り方向に送られる。
なお、第１の箔体押さえ２４の幅方向中央部の押圧部２４０で非穿孔部１１０を押圧する領域に含まれる第１の押圧線領域２４２を規定する。本実施形態では、押圧部２４０に対向する受部２４１が上に凸の円柱状に形成される。このため、押圧部２４０と箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０との接触領域は、長手方向に沿って長く形成されていなくてもよい。第２の箔体押さえ２６の幅方向中央部の押圧部２６０で非穿孔部１１０を押圧する領域に含まれる第２の押圧線領域２６２を規定する。本実施形態では、押圧部２６０に対向する受部２４１が上に凸の円柱状に形成される。このため、押圧部２６０と箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０との接触領域は、長手方向に沿って長く形成されていなくてもよい。このとき、線状の第１の押圧線領域２４２と線状の第２の押圧線領域２６２とを仮想的に結ぶ線分は、所定方向（送り方向）、すなわち、Ｘ軸方向に平行である。このため、押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組の離間する２箇所（２点）によって長手方向に延びる非穿孔部１１０を支持することにより、箔体１００に適宜の張力を与えながら、下流側に送ることができる。したがって、押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組が直線状に接する場合と同様に、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０は、送り方向に負荷される上述した張力によって送り方向からずれ難く、箔体１００の蛇行が抑制された状態で、送り方向に送られる。 In this embodiment, the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 and the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 are formed, for example, in a linear shape extending in a predetermined direction (feed direction). For example, the cross section of the lower end of the pressing portion 240, 260 in the YZ plane is formed as a curved surface convex downward, such as a downwardly convex hemisphere. For example, when the pressing portion 240 abuts against the foil body 100, a contact surface having an appropriate width in the width direction and a length in the longitudinal direction, for example, the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 240, is formed due to elastic deformation. At this time, the pressing portion 240 presses the area of the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 with a surface that is the same as or narrower than the width of the non-perforated portion 110. Here, the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 240 is assumed to be along the X-axis direction, and the size of the width in the width direction is ignored. In this case, the pressing portion 240 can linearly press the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100. Similarly, for example, when the pressing portion 260 abuts against the foil body 100, a contact surface having an appropriate width in the width direction and, for example, the length of the pressing portion 260 in the longitudinal direction is formed by elastic deformation. At this time, the pressing portion 260 presses the area of the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 with a surface that is the same as or narrower than the width of the non-perforated portion 110. Here, the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 260 is assumed to be along the X-axis direction, and the size of the width in the width direction is ignored. In this case, the pressing portion 260 can linearly press the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 that is the same as the pressing portion 240. The imaginary line segment connecting the linear pressing areas of these pressing portions 240 and 260 is parallel to the feed direction of the foil body 100. That is, the separation direction (the direction along which the imaginary line segment runs) between the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 and the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 is parallel to the feed direction in which the foil body 100 is fed from the supply portion 22. Therefore, the feed device 12 feeds the foil body 100 in a predetermined direction while linearly pressing the common non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 at two separated locations (the pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241, and the pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261). Therefore, the foil body 100 is prevented from vibrating, and the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is unlikely to deviate from the feed direction due to the above-mentioned tension applied in the feed direction, and the foil body 100 is fed in the feed direction in a state in which meandering is suppressed.
In addition, a first pressing line region 242 is defined in the region where the pressing portion 240 in the width direction center of the first foil body presser 24 presses the non-perforated portion 110. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 241 facing the pressing portion 240 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is convex upward. Therefore, the contact region between the pressing portion 240 and the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 does not have to be formed long along the longitudinal direction. A second pressing line region 262 is defined in the region where the non-perforated portion 110 is pressed by the pressing portion 260 in the width direction center of the second foil body presser 26. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 241 facing the pressing portion 260 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is convex upward. Therefore, the contact region between the pressing portion 260 and the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 does not have to be formed long along the longitudinal direction. At this time, the line segment virtually connecting the linear first pressure line region 242 and the linear second pressure line region 262 is parallel to a predetermined direction (feed direction), i.e., the X-axis direction. Therefore, by supporting the non-perforated portion 110 extending in the longitudinal direction by two separated points (two points) of the pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 and the pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261, the foil body 100 can be fed downstream while being given an appropriate tension. Therefore, similar to the case where the pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 and the pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 are in contact with each other in a straight line, the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is not easily deviated from the feed direction due to the above-mentioned tension applied in the feed direction, and the foil body 100 is fed in the feed direction with the meandering of the foil body 100 suppressed.

１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂは、例えば、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間に設けられる。図示しないが、第１の箔体押さえ２４に対して、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂと同様のガイド部材が設けられ、第２の箔体押さえ２６に対して、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂと同様のガイド部材が設けられることも好適である。また、第２の箔体押さえ２６と、波付け部１４との間に例えば１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂと同様のガイド部材２８ｃが設けられることも好適である。The pair of guide members 28a, 28b are provided, for example, between the first foil presser 24 and the second foil presser 26. Although not shown, it is also preferable that a guide member similar to the pair of guide members 28a, 28b is provided for the first foil presser 24, and a guide member similar to the pair of guide members 28a, 28b is provided for the second foil presser 26. It is also preferable that a guide member 28c similar to the pair of guide members 28a, 28b is provided between the second foil presser 26 and the corrugated portion 14.

１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂには、例えば幅方向（Ｙ軸方向）に沿う長穴２８ａ１，２８ａ２，２８ｂ１，２８ｂ２が形成されている。１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂの下側には、それぞれ図示しないプレートが配設されている。そして、ネジ２９ａ１，２９ａ２，２９ｂ１，２９ｂ２を、これら長穴２８ａ１，２８ａ２，２８ｂ１，２８ｂ２を通してプレートに固定することにより、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂを位置調整可能である。 Elongated holes 28a1, 28a2, 28b1, and 28b2 are formed in the pair of guide members 28a and 28b, for example, along the width direction (Y-axis direction). Plates (not shown) are disposed below the pair of guide members 28a and 28b. The positions of the pair of guide members 28a and 28b can be adjusted by fixing screws 29a1, 29a2, 29b1, and 29b2 to the plates through the elongated holes 28a1, 28a2, 28b1, and 28b2.

１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂは、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４をそれぞれガイドする。１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂは、例えば互いに平行な平面として形成される。したがって、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂは、１対の側端１１２，１１４が送り方向から外れ、箔体１００が蛇行することを抑制する。The pair of guide members 28a, 28b respectively guide the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100. The pair of guide members 28a, 28b are formed, for example, as planes parallel to each other. Therefore, the pair of guide members 28a, 28b prevent the pair of side ends 112, 114 from deviating from the feed direction and the foil body 100 from meandering.

なお、１対のガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂは、第１の箔体押さえ２４及び第２の箔体押さえ２６によって箔体１００の蛇行が抑制できれば、不要となり得る。 The pair of guide members 28a, 28b may be unnecessary if the meandering of the foil body 100 can be suppressed by the first foil body holder 24 and the second foil body holder 26.

波付け部１４は、例えば１対の波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂを有し、箔体１００に波付け加工を施す。１対の波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂの回転軸１４ａ１，１４ｂ１は、コイル材２２ａの回転軸２２ａ１と平行である。また、回転軸１４ａ１，１４ｂ１は、Ｚ軸方向に離間することが好適である。波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂの外周面には、それぞれ平歯車のように多数の歯が形成される。波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂの歯は、箔体１００の幅方向（Ｙ軸方向）に平行な状態に形成されている。
波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂの外周面の歯同士が互いに噛み合わせられ、波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂ間を箔体１００が通るときに、箔体１００に波付けされる。このため、波付けローラ１４ａ，１４ｂ間を上流側から下流側に通った箔体１００は、波板１００ａとして形成される。波板１００ａは、波付けされた直後に例えば所定長さに切断される。または、波板１００ａは、一旦、例えばコイル材２２ａのように巻回され、ハニカム体３００として形成される際に切断されてもよい。 The corrugating unit 14 has, for example, a pair of corrugating rollers 14a, 14b, and applies corrugation processing to the foil body 100. The rotation axes 14a1, 14b1 of the pair of corrugating rollers 14a, 14b are parallel to the rotation axis 22a1 of the coil material 22a. It is preferable that the rotation axes 14a1, 14b1 are spaced apart in the Z-axis direction. A large number of teeth are formed on the outer circumferential surface of each of the corrugating rollers 14a, 14b, like a spur gear. The teeth of the corrugating rollers 14a, 14b are formed in a state parallel to the width direction (Y-axis direction) of the foil body 100.
Teeth on the outer peripheral surfaces of the corrugating rollers 14a, 14b mesh with each other, and the foil body 100 is corrugated as it passes between the corrugating rollers 14a, 14b. Therefore, the foil body 100 that passes between the corrugating rollers 14a, 14b from the upstream side to the downstream side is formed as a corrugated sheet 100a. The corrugated sheet 100a is cut to a predetermined length, for example, immediately after being corrugated. Alternatively, the corrugated sheet 100a may be once wound like the coil material 22a, for example, and then cut when it is formed into the honeycomb body 300.

本実施形態によれば、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組と第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組とを送り方向に離間して配置した。そして、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組と第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組とによって、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０を２箇所で支持することができる。このとき、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組と第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組との間の箔体１００に適宜の張力を負荷して、その箔体１００を波付け部１４に送ることができる。このため、箔体１００は、送り方向に負荷される張力によって箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０が送り方向からずれ難くされ、箔体１００の蛇行が抑制された状態で、送り装置１２によって、所定の送り方向（下流側の波付け部１４）に送られる。According to this embodiment, the set of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the set of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 are arranged at a distance in the feed direction. The set of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the set of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 can support the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 at two points. At this time, an appropriate tension is applied to the foil body 100 between the set of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the set of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26, and the foil body 100 can be sent to the corrugation section 14. For this reason, the foil body 100 is fed in a predetermined feed direction (to the downstream corrugation section 14) by the feed device 12 in a state in which the non-perforated sections 110 of the foil body 100 are made less likely to deviate from the feed direction due to the tension applied in the feed direction, and meandering of the foil body 100 is suppressed.

したがって、本実施形態によれば、繰り出される箔体１００を所定の方向に送る際に、蛇行を抑制しながら波付け部１４に送ることが可能な、箔体１００の送り装置１２、及び、その送り装置１２を含む箔体１００に対する波付け装置１０を提供することができる。
また、ガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂを用いることにより、繰り出される箔体１００を所定の方向に、より蛇行を抑制しながら波付け部１４に送ることができる。 Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a feeding device 12 for a foil body 100, which is capable of feeding the foil body 100 in a predetermined direction while suppressing meandering, and a corrugating device 10 for the foil body 100 including the feeding device 12.
Furthermore, by using the guide members 28a, 28b, the foil body 100 being fed can be sent to the corrugating section 14 in a predetermined direction while further suppressing meandering.

本実施形態では、送り装置１２の第１の箔体押さえ２４がエアシリンダ２４４を有し、第２の箔体押さえ２６がエアシリンダ２６４を有する例について説明した。エアシリンダ２４４，２６４を用いずに、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０を適宜の圧力で押圧することができ、例えば、押圧部２４０，２６０と箔体１００との間に所定の範囲の摺動抵抗を発揮させることができるのであれば、エアシリンダ２４４，２６４は不要となり得る。In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the first foil body presser 24 of the feed device 12 has an air cylinder 244, and the second foil body presser 26 has an air cylinder 264. If the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 can be pressed with an appropriate pressure without using the air cylinders 244, 264, and if, for example, a predetermined range of sliding resistance can be exerted between the pressing portions 240, 260 and the foil body 100, the air cylinders 244, 264 may not be necessary.

また、本実施形態で説明したエアシリンダ２４４，２６４の代わりに、受部２４１，２６１に圧力センサ等を配置し、フィードバック制御により、サーボモータ等で押圧部２４０，２６０を動かすことも好適である。この場合、押圧部２４０，２６０から箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に所望の押圧力が負荷されるように制御することができる。また、押圧部２４０，２６０を受部２４１，２６１に対して近接及び離隔させるものとして、適宜のアクチュエータを用いることができる。In addition, instead of the air cylinders 244, 264 described in this embodiment, it is also preferable to place a pressure sensor or the like on the receiving parts 241, 261 and move the pressing parts 240, 260 with a servo motor or the like by feedback control. In this case, it is possible to control so that the desired pressing force is applied from the pressing parts 240, 260 to the non-perforated part 110 of the foil body 100. Also, an appropriate actuator can be used to move the pressing parts 240, 260 toward and away from the receiving parts 241, 261.

本実施形態では、箔体１００は、穿孔部１２０を有する例について説明した。穿孔部１２０は必ずしも必要ではない。このため、箔体１００は、全面が非穿孔部１１０で形成されていてもよい。In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the foil body 100 has a perforated portion 120. The perforated portion 120 is not necessarily required. For this reason, the entire surface of the foil body 100 may be formed of a non-perforated portion 110.

（第２実施形態）
第２実施形態について、図４を用いて説明する。本実施形態は第１実施形態の変形例であって、第１実施形態で説明した部材と同一の部材及び／又は同一の機能を有する部材には極力同一の符号を付し、詳しい説明を省略する。 Second Embodiment
The second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. This embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment, and the same members and/or members having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

第１の箔体押さえ２４は、２つの組の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１を有する。ここでは、一方の組の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１は、側端１１２を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、他方の組の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１は、側端１１４を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧するものとする。このため、押圧部２４０は、例えば二股に分かれて箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域（非穿孔部１１０）を押さえる。このとき、押圧部２４０は、箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域（非穿孔部１１０）内を、それぞれの非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえることが好適である。
このため、本実施形態に係る押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組は、箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を押圧しない例である。 The first foil body presser 24 has two sets of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241. Here, one set of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 112, and the other set of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 114. For this reason, the pressing part 240, for example, is bifurcated to press the area (non-perforated part 110) including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100. At this time, it is preferable that the pressing part 240 presses the area (non-perforated part 110) including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 with a surface that is the same as or narrower than the width of each non-perforated part 110.
Therefore, the pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 according to this embodiment is an example in which the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center portion of the foil body 100 is not pressed.

第２の箔体押さえ２６は、２つの組の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１を有する。ここでは、一方の組の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１は、側端１１２を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、他方の組の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１は、側端１１４を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧するものとする。このため、押圧部２６０は、例えば二股に分かれて箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域（非穿孔部１１０）を押さえる。このとき、押圧部２６０は、箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域（非穿孔部１１０）内を、それぞれの非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえることが好適である。
このため、本実施形態に係る押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組は、箔体１００の幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を押圧しない例である。 The second foil body presser 26 has two sets of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261. Here, one set of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 112, and the other set of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 114. For this reason, the pressing part 260, for example, is bifurcated to press the area (non-perforated part 110) including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100. At this time, it is preferable that the pressing part 260 presses the area (non-perforated part 110) including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 with a surface that is the same as or narrower than the width of each non-perforated part 110.
Therefore, the pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 according to this embodiment is an example in which the non-perforated portion 110 in the widthwise center portion of the foil body 100 is not pressed.

この場合、第１のエアシリンダ２４４は、１つを２つの押圧部２４０を移動させるように形成されていてもよく、各押圧部２４０ごとに設けられていてもよい。同様に、第２のエアシリンダ２６４は、１つを２つの押圧部２６０を移動させるように形成されていてもよく、各押圧部２６０ごとに設けられていてもよい。In this case, the first air cylinder 244 may be formed so as to move one of the two pressing parts 240, and may be provided for each pressing part 240. Similarly, the second air cylinder 264 may be formed so as to move one of the two pressing parts 260, and may be provided for each pressing part 260.

例えば、上流側の第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との組による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗の方が、下流側の第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との組による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗よりも大きいことが好適である。For example, it is preferable that the sliding resistance of the pair of pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 of the first foil body holder 24 on the upstream side against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is greater than the sliding resistance of the pair of pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 of the second foil body holder 26 on the downstream side against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100.

本実施形態に係る送り装置１２は、長手方向に離間した２箇所（押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組）で箔体１００の共通の非穿孔部１１０を直線状に押圧しながら、箔体１００を所定方向に送る。本実施形態では、押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組がそれぞれ２組であるので、１つの非穿孔部１１０をそれぞれ２箇所で、２つの非穿孔部１１０を計４箇所で長手方向に沿う直線状に押圧しながら、箔体１００を所定方向に送る。したがって、箔体１００が振れることが抑制され、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０は、送り方向に負荷される上述した張力によって送り方向からずれ難く、箔体１００の蛇行が抑制された状態で、送り方向に送られる。The feed device 12 according to this embodiment feeds the foil body 100 in a predetermined direction while linearly pressing the common non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 at two locations spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (a pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241, and a pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261). In this embodiment, there are two pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241, and two pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261, so the foil body 100 is fed in a predetermined direction while linearly pressing one non-perforated portion 110 at two locations, and two non-perforated portions 110 at a total of four locations along the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the foil body 100 is prevented from vibrating, and the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is not easily deviated from the feed direction due to the above-mentioned tension applied in the feed direction, and the foil body 100 is fed in the feed direction with the meandering of the foil body 100 suppressed.

なお、本実施形態では、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との組の数、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との組の数がそれぞれ２であり、押圧部２４０，２６０が二股である例について説明した。第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との組の数、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との組の数のいずれかが１であってもよい。すなわち、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む側端領域が非穿孔部１１０であるとき、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０の少なくとも一方が二股に分かれて箔体１００の側端領域を押さえることができればよい。このような場合も、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で箔体１００が滞留することを抑制するため、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との全体による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗の方が、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との全体による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗よりも大きいことが好適である。このため、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００に対して送り方向に沿って適宜の張力を与えることができ、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００が滞留して送り方向に撓むことを防止することができる。In this embodiment, the number of pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the number of pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 are two, and the pressing portions 240, 260 are bifurcated. Either the number of pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 or the number of pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 may be one. That is, when the side end region including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 is the non-perforated portion 110, it is sufficient that at least one of the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 and the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 is bifurcated to hold the side end region of the foil body 100. Even in such a case, in order to prevent the foil body 100 from stagnation between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26, it is preferable that the sliding resistance of the entire pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is greater than the sliding resistance of the entire pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100. Therefore, an appropriate tension can be applied to the foil body 100 in the feed direction between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26, and the foil body 100 can be prevented from stagnation between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26 and bending in the feed direction.

（第３実施形態）
第３実施形態について、図５を用いて説明する。本実施形態は第１実施形態及び第２実施形態の変形例であって、第１実施形態及び第２実施形態で説明した部材と同一の部材及び／又は同一の機能を有する部材には極力同一の符号を付し、詳しい説明を省略する。 Third Embodiment
The third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. This embodiment is a modification of the first and second embodiments, and the same members and/or members having the same functions as those described in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

第１の箔体押さえ２４は、３つの組の押圧部２４０及び受部２４１を有する。ここでは、１つの押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組は、側端１１２を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、残りの２つのうち、１つの押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組は、側端１１４を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、残りの１つの押圧部２４０及び受部２４１の組は、側端１１２，１１４間の幅方向中央部の領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧するものとする。このため、押圧部２４０は、例えば三股に分かれて箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域である非穿孔部１１０、及び、幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。このとき、押圧部２４０は、箔体１００の３つの非穿孔部１１０を、それぞれの非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえることが好適である。The first foil body presser 24 has three sets of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241. Here, one set of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 112, one of the remaining two sets of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 114, and the remaining set of pressing parts 240 and receiving parts 241 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area in the width direction center between the side ends 112, 114. For this reason, the pressing part 240 is, for example, trifurcated to press the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100, and the non-perforated part 110 in the width direction center. At this time, it is preferable that the pressing portion 240 presses the three non-perforated portions 110 of the foil body 100 with a surface having a width equal to or narrower than the width of each of the non-perforated portions 110 .

第２の箔体押さえ２６は、３つの組の押圧部２６０及び受部２６１を有する。ここでは、１つの押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組は、側端１１２を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、残りの２つのうち、１つの押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組は、側端１１４を含む領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧し、残りの１つの押圧部２６０及び受部２６１の組は、側端１１２，１１４間の幅方向中央部の領域の非穿孔部１１０を押圧するものとする。このため、押圧部２６０は、例えば三股に分かれて箔体１００の側端１１２，１１４を含む領域である非穿孔部１１０、及び、幅方向中央部の非穿孔部１１０を押さえる。このとき、押圧部２６０は、箔体１００の３つの非穿孔部１１０を、それぞれの非穿孔部１１０の幅と同じ又はそれよりも幅狭の面で押さえることが好適である。The second foil body presser 26 has three sets of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261. Here, one set of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 112, one of the remaining two sets of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side end 114, and the remaining set of pressing parts 260 and receiving parts 261 presses the non-perforated part 110 in the area in the width direction center between the side ends 112, 114. For this reason, the pressing part 260 is, for example, trifurcated to press the non-perforated part 110 in the area including the side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100, and the non-perforated part 110 in the width direction center. At this time, it is preferable that the pressing portion 260 presses the three non-perforated portions 110 of the foil body 100 with a surface having a width equal to or narrower than the width of each of the non-perforated portions 110 .

この場合、第１のエアシリンダ２４４は、１つを３つの押圧部２４０を移動させるように形成されていてもよく、各押圧部２４０ごとに設けられていてもよい。同様に、第２のエアシリンダ２６４は、１つを３つの押圧部２６０を移動させるように形成されていてもよく、各押圧部２６０ごとに設けられていてもよい。In this case, the first air cylinder 244 may be configured to move one of the three pressing parts 240, and may be provided for each pressing part 240. Similarly, the second air cylinder 264 may be configured to move one of the three pressing parts 260, and may be provided for each pressing part 260.

本実施形態に係る送り装置１２は、長手方向に離間した２箇所（押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組）で箔体１００の共通の非穿孔部１１０を直線状に押圧しながら、箔体１００を所定方向に送る。本実施形態では、押圧部２４０と受部２４１の組、及び、押圧部２６０と受部２６１の組がそれぞれ３組であるので、１つの非穿孔部１１０をそれぞれ２箇所で、３つの非穿孔部１１０を計６箇所で長手方向に沿う直線状に押圧しながら、箔体１００を所定方向に送る。したがって、箔体１００が振れることが抑制され、箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０は、送り方向に負荷される上述した張力によって送り方向からずれ難く、箔体１００の蛇行が抑制された状態で、送り方向に送られる。The feed device 12 according to this embodiment feeds the foil body 100 in a predetermined direction while linearly pressing the common non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 at two locations spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (a pair of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241, and a pair of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261). In this embodiment, there are three pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241, and three pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261, so the foil body 100 is fed in a predetermined direction while linearly pressing one non-perforated portion 110 at two locations, and three non-perforated portions 110 at a total of six locations along the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the foil body 100 is prevented from vibrating, and the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is not easily deviated from the feed direction due to the above-mentioned tension applied in the feed direction, and the foil body 100 is fed in the feed direction with the meandering of the foil body 100 suppressed.

したがって、本実施形態によれば、繰り出される箔体１００を所定の方向に送る際に、蛇行を抑制しながら波付け部１４に送ることが可能な、箔体１００の送り装置１２、及び、その送り装置１２を含む箔体１００に対する波付け装置１０を提供することができる。Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a feeding device 12 for the foil body 100, which is capable of feeding the foil body 100 in a predetermined direction while suppressing meandering and feeding the foil body 100 to the corrugating section 14, and a corrugating device 10 for the foil body 100 including the feeding device 12.

また、ガイド部材２８ａ，２８ｂを用いることにより、繰り出される箔体１００を所定の方向に、より蛇行を抑制しながら波付け部１４に送ることができる。Furthermore, by using guide members 28a, 28b, the foil body 100 being unwound can be sent to the corrugating section 14 in a predetermined direction while further reducing meandering.

なお、本実施形態では、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との組の数、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との組の数がそれぞれ３であり、押圧部２４０，２６０が三股である例について説明した。第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との組の数、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との組の数のいずれかが１又は２であってもよい。すなわち、箔体１００の１対の側端１１２，１１４を含む側端領域が非穿孔部１１０であるとき、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０及び第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０の少なくとも一方が三股に分かれて箔体１００の側端領域を押さえることができればよい。このような場合も、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で箔体１００が滞留することを抑制するため、第１の箔体押さえ２４の押圧部２４０と受部２４１との全体による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗の方が、第２の箔体押さえ２６の押圧部２６０と受部２６１との全体による箔体１００の非穿孔部１１０に対する摺動抵抗よりも大きいことが好適である。このため、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００に対して送り方向に沿って適宜の張力を与えることができ、第１の箔体押さえ２４と第２の箔体押さえ２６との間で、箔体１００が滞留して送り方向に撓むことを防止することができる。In this embodiment, the number of pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 and the number of pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 are three, and the pressing portions 240, 260 are three-pronged. Either the number of pairs of the pressing portion 240 and the receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 or the number of pairs of the pressing portion 260 and the receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 may be one or two. That is, when the side end region including the pair of side ends 112, 114 of the foil body 100 is the non-perforated portion 110, it is sufficient that at least one of the pressing portion 240 of the first foil body presser 24 and the pressing portion 260 of the second foil body presser 26 is three-pronged to press the side end region of the foil body 100. Even in such a case, in order to prevent the foil body 100 from stagnation between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26, it is preferable that the sliding resistance of the entire pressing portion 240 and receiving portion 241 of the first foil body presser 24 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100 is greater than the sliding resistance of the entire pressing portion 260 and receiving portion 261 of the second foil body presser 26 against the non-perforated portion 110 of the foil body 100. Therefore, an appropriate tension can be applied to the foil body 100 in the feed direction between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26, and the foil body 100 can be prevented from stagnation between the first foil body presser 24 and the second foil body presser 26 and bending in the feed direction.

なお、本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、実施段階ではその要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々に変形することが可能である。また、各実施形態は適宜組み合わせて実施してもよく、その場合組み合わせた効果が得られる。更に、上記実施形態には種々の発明が含まれており、開示される複数の構成要件から選択された組み合わせにより種々の発明が抽出され得る。例えば、実施形態に示される全構成要件からいくつかの構成要件が削除されても、課題が解決でき、効果が得られる場合には、この構成要件が削除された構成が発明として抽出され得る。
