Delivery/reception device for workpiece for absorptive article

Abstract

There is provided a passing apparatus of a workpiece associated with an absorbent article that receives at a receiving position a first sheet-like workpiece being transported in a transporting direction, changes a longitudinal direction of the first sheet-like workpiece to a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the timing when the first sheet-like workpiece is received at the receiving position, and discharges at a discharge position the first sheet-like workpiece whose longitudinal direction is changed. The passing apparatus includes: a plurality of holding pads having a plane section that is in contact with a surface of the first sheet-like workpiece and holds the first sheet-like workpiece; a revolution mechanism that causes the holding pad to revolve about a revolution axis parallel to a normal direction of the plane section; and a spin mechanism that causes the holding pad to spin about a spin axis parallel to the normal direction of the plane section. On an orbit of the holding pad determined by the revolution mechanism, the receiving position and the discharge position are set.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a delivery device for workpieces related to absorbent articles such as disposable diapers. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, on the production line of absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, the orientation of the longitudinal direction of the first sheet-shaped workpiece 10 related to absorbent articles received from the upstream process is changed by only 90° from the state at the time of receipt, and then transferred to the downstream process. Wait for the processing of the submission. Moreover, the process as Figure 10A The side view of the 90° drum unit 230 is shown. [0003] The 90° drum device 230 mainly includes a rotary drum 231 that is rotationally driven around a horizontal axis C231 along the width direction of the production line (direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction, hereinafter also referred to as CD direction). On the outer peripheral portion of the rotary drum 231 , ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] That is to say, in the structure of the above-mentioned 90° drum device 231, any one of the receiving position Qin and the delivery position Qout can prevent the occurrence of wrinkles of the first sheet workpiece 10, but at the two positions Qin and Qout It is difficult to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles
