〔実施例の作用〕
次に、実施例に係る組合わせ装置の作用につき説明する。前記ストロー供給装置２０でストロー包装帯２２から切り離された連続ストロー包装体２１が、前記第１のコンベヤ１４における水平移送路上に偏平状態で落下供給される。この連続ストロー包装体２１は、前記吸引チャンバー２３による吸引力によって、ベルト面に吸着保持された状態で下流側に搬送される。この連続ストロー包装体２１は、第１のコンベヤ１４における湾曲搬送路を経て、第１および第２のコンベヤ１４,１５の鉛直搬送路間に至り、以後は両コンベヤ１４,１５の鉛直搬送路間をベルト１９,２７で挟持されつつ搬送される。前述したように第２のコンベヤ１５の搬送速度は第１のコンベヤ１４の搬送速度より遅く設定してあるから、両コンベヤ１４,１５の速度差によって、該連続ストロー包装体２１はロール状に巻かれる。連続ストロー包装体２１が巻かれることで径が増加する際には、前記第２のコンベヤ１５が枢軸２５を支点として第１のコンベヤ１４から離間する方向に揺動することで、該連続ストロー包装体２１を押し潰すことなく径の増加は許容される。また、第２のコンベヤ１５における鉛直搬送路における無端ベルト２７は、複数の弾性部材３０により第１のコンベヤ１４の鉛直搬送路側に向けて付勢されているから、同様に該連続ストロー包装体２１を押し潰すことなく径の増加を許容すると共に、連続ストロー包装体２１の巻きは緩むことなく維持される。 (Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the combination apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. The continuous straw packaging body 21 separated from the straw packaging band 22 by the straw feeding device 20 is dropped and supplied onto the horizontal transfer path in the first conveyor 14 in a flat state. The continuous straw package 21 is conveyed to the downstream side while being sucked and held on the belt surface by the suction force of the suction chamber 23. This continuous straw wrapping body 21 passes through the curved conveyance path in the first conveyor 14 and reaches between the vertical conveyance paths of the first and second conveyors 14 and 15, and thereafter between the vertical conveyance paths of both the conveyors 14 and 15. Is conveyed while being held between the belts 19 and 27. As described above, since the transport speed of the second conveyor 15 is set slower than the transport speed of the first conveyor 14, the continuous straw package 21 is wound into a roll shape due to the speed difference between the conveyors 14 and 15. It is burned. When the diameter is increased by winding the continuous straw wrapping body 21, the second conveyor 15 swings in a direction away from the first conveyor 14 with the pivot 25 as a fulcrum, thereby the continuous straw wrapping. An increase in diameter is allowed without crushing the body 21. Further, since the endless belt 27 in the vertical conveyance path of the second conveyor 15 is urged toward the vertical conveyance path side of the first conveyor 14 by the plurality of elastic members 30, the continuous straw packaging body 21 is similarly applied. While allowing the diameter to increase without crushing, the winding of the continuous straw wrapping body 21 is maintained without loosening.

前記ロール状に巻かれた連続ストロー包装体２１は、図３に示す如く、両コンベヤ１４,１５の搬送路から外側方に延出する両側部が、前記保持手段３１の両保持部材３２,３２により挟持されて、そのロール状態が維持される。また、前記シート供給装置により供給されたシート片４３が、前記支持手段４４に偏平状態で支持される。このシート片４３の下面は、前記吸着位置に臨む吸着手段５０により吸着保持されて位置ズレは抑制されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the continuous straw wrapping body 21 wound in a roll shape has both side portions extending outward from the conveying paths of both conveyors 14 and 15, and both holding members 32 and 32 of the holding means 31. And the roll state is maintained. Further, the sheet piece 43 supplied by the sheet supply device is supported by the support means 44 in a flat state. The lower surface of the sheet piece 43 is sucked and held by the sucking means 50 facing the sucking position, and the positional deviation is suppressed.

次に、前記移送手段４０が待機位置から作動位置に向けて移動し、前記保持手段３１で保持されているロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１は、その両側部が前記移送部材４２,４２により上方から押される。このとき、前記両保持片３３,３４がバネ３７,３７の弾力に抗して下端部を開放するよう回動し、該連続ストロー包装体２１の通過は許容される。そして、このロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１は、前記支持手段４４で支持されているシート片４３における２条の筋目の間の上面に当接すると共に、更に移送手段４０により押される。このとき、前記吸着手段５０も移送手段４０と同一方向に移動(下動)し、ロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１でシート片４３が押される際の該シート片４３の位置ズレは防止される。 Next, the transfer means 40 moves from the standby position toward the operating position, and the continuous straw wrapping body 21 in the roll state held by the holding means 31 has its both side portions raised by the transfer members 42 and 42. Pressed from. At this time, the holding pieces 33 and 34 are rotated so as to open the lower end portion against the elasticity of the springs 37 and 37, and passage of the continuous straw wrapping body 21 is allowed. The roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 abuts on the upper surface between the two streaks of the sheet piece 43 supported by the support means 44 and is further pushed by the transfer means 40. At this time, the suction means 50 is also moved (moved downward) in the same direction as the transfer means 40, and displacement of the sheet piece 43 when the sheet piece 43 is pushed by the continuous straw packaging body 21 in a roll state is prevented. .

前記ロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１が上方から押し付けられて支持手段４４から一体的に押されるシート片４３は、前記一対の支持部材４６,４６の間を通過する過程で、前記２条の筋目を補助として断面がＵ字状になるように両側部が上方に曲がることで、該シート片４３はロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１を挟み込む状態となり、これによりロール状態の連続ストロー包装体２１がシート片４３でくるまれた組合わせ体４７が得られる。 The sheet piece 43, which is pressed from above by the continuous straw packaging body 21 in the rolled state and is integrally pressed by the support means 44, passes through the pair of support members 46, 46 in the course of passing through the two streaks. As a result, the sheet piece 43 is in a state of sandwiching the roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 such that the roll-shaped continuous straw wrapping body 21 is sandwiched. A combination 47 wrapped with the sheet pieces 43 is obtained.

前記組合わせ体４７は、前記移送手段４０により更に移送されて前記移送コンベヤ３８で受入れ位置に臨む受け手段３９における受け部材４９,４９の凹部４９ａ,４９ａに上方から押し込まれ、該組合わせ体４７はその状態を維持したまま受け手段３９に保持される。なお、組合わせ体４７を受け手段３９まで移送した前記移送手段４０は、その作動位置から待機位置への復帰時には、前記保持手段３１により保持されるロール状の連続ストロー包装体２１と干渉しない位置を移動する。これにより、移送手段４０により組合わせ体４７を受け手段３９に向けて移送している間に、次の連続ストロー包装体２１をロール状に巻いて保持手段３１で保持させることが可能となり、サイクルタイムを短縮することができる。 The combined body 47 is further transferred by the transfer means 40 and pushed into the recesses 49a and 49a of the receiving members 49 and 49 in the receiving means 39 facing the receiving position by the transfer conveyor 38 from above, and the combined body 47 Is held by the receiving means 39 while maintaining this state. The transfer means 40 that has transferred the combination body 47 to the receiving means 39 does not interfere with the roll-shaped continuous straw packaging body 21 held by the holding means 31 when returning from the operating position to the standby position. To move. As a result, while the combined body 47 is being transferred toward the receiving means 39 by the transfer means 40, the next continuous straw wrapping body 21 can be wound in a roll shape and held by the holding means 31. Time can be shortened.

前記受け手段３９に組合わせ体４７が受入れられると、前記移送コンベヤ３８は、無端チェン４８に対する受け部材４９の配設間隔に対応する１ピッチ分移動して、次の受け手段３９を受入れ位置に到来させる。そして、組合わせ体４７を受入れた２つの受け手段３９,３９が各挿入位置に到来すると(図６参照)、前記各押送手段５１における第１押送部材５２が前進移動し、対応する受け手段３９で保持されている組合わせ体４７を箱詰め機１３に向けて押し出す。この組合わせ体４７は、前記案内部材５４の凹溝５４ａ内を押送され、その状態は維持される。次いで、第２押送部材５３が前進移動し、案内部材５４の凹溝５４ａ内の組合わせ体４７を押送し、半製函の箱４５における前記余剰空間に該組合わせ体４７が挿入される。 When the combination 47 is received by the receiving means 39, the transfer conveyor 38 is moved by one pitch corresponding to the arrangement interval of the receiving members 49 with respect to the endless chain 48, and the next receiving means 39 is moved to the receiving position. Make it come. When the two receiving means 39, 39 that receive the combined body 47 arrive at the respective insertion positions (see FIG. 6), the first pushing member 52 in each pushing means 51 moves forward and the corresponding receiving means 39 is moved forward. The combination body 47 held in (1) is pushed out toward the boxing machine 13. The combined body 47 is pushed in the concave groove 54a of the guide member 54, and the state is maintained. Next, the second pushing member 53 moves forward, pushes the combined body 47 in the concave groove 54a of the guide member 54, and the combined body 47 is inserted into the surplus space in the box 45 of the semi-box.
