Transport system, transport method, and apparatus for manufacturing bonded laminated material using the transport system

摘要

The present invention provides a transport system for a jig for fixing material to be laminated, which system can transport a jig for fixing material to be laminated using a simple exhaust device that is of a space-saving-type while it continuously exhausts air, a transport method for transporting a jig for fixing material to be laminated, and an apparatus for manufacturing bonded laminated material comprising the transport system.

主权项

1. An apparatus for manufacturing bonded laminated material where a material to be laminated made of laminated membranes is pressurized by means of a pressuring device, and the apparatus transports a jig for fixing material to be laminated while fixing the material to be laminated, comprising: a jig for fixing material to be laminated; a pressurizing device;
an exhaust device that can be connected to the jig for fixing material to be laminated; a transporting device comprising:
a shuttle that carries the jig for fixing material to be laminated;a slider that causes the shuttle to make a reciprocating movement in a transporting direction;a driving device that drives the slider; andan intermediate table that receives the jig for fixing material to be laminated from the shuttle and holds the jig on it; wherein the jig for fixing material to be laminated comprises:
a housing space that can house the material to be laminated;an exhaust passage that is formed to be connected to the housing space;a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port that can alternately be switched to the exhaust passage that connects the housing space and the exhaust device; wherein when the material to be laminated is disposed in the housing space and the space is exhausted by the exhaust device, the jig for fixing material to be laminated fixes the material to be laminated within the housing space; wherein the shuttle comprises a first exhaust connector that exhausts the housing space by means of the exhaust device and by being connected to the first exhaust port when the jig for fixing material to be laminated is loaded on the shuttle; wherein the intermediate table comprises a second exhaust connector that exhausts the housing space by means of the exhaust device and that is connected to the second exhaust port when the jig for fixing material to be laminated is loaded on the intermediate table; and wherein the transporting device transports the jig for fixing material to be laminated toward the pressurizing device while the jig for fixing material to be laminated is placed on the shuttle and the housing space is being exhausted by means of the first exhaust connector, and then transfers the jig for fixing material to be laminated to the intermediate table of the transporting device, which intermediate table is disposed downstream in the direction of the transport, whereupon on the intermediate table, after the second exhaust connector is connected to the second exhaust port, the housing space is exhausted by the exhaust device by the exhaust passage being switched to the second exhaust port, such that the jig for fixing material to be laminated is transported while the housing space for the jig for fixing material to be laminated is kept to be in an exhausted condition.
