Abstract

A device includes a tank for storing a glue solution; a roll having a surface for transferring the glue solution onto an area of a corrugating medium of a single-faced corrugated fiberboard sheet in the width direction; scraping members for regulating adhesion of the glue solution outside the area on the surface of the roll; a movement mechanism for moving the scraping members in the width direction; and a control device for setting, on the basis of the cutting width dimension with which the double-faced cardboard sheet is to be cut after passing the roll, the area to be a region in which margins in the width direction have been added outside positions of the side edges of the cutting width dimension, and for controlling the movement mechanism to dispose the scraping members at positions corresponding to the positions of the side edges of the glue application region.

Claims (19)

1. A glue application method for corrugated fiberboards comprising:

setting the region, which is obtained by adding specified margins outside of side edge locations with a cutting width dimension in a width direction, to the glue application region, on the basis of the cutting width dimension with which a corrugated fiberboard is to be cut after glue application;

arranging glue solution regulating members, which regulate the adhesion of a glue solution outside the glue application region on the surface of a glue application roll that adheres the glue solution to the surface of a corrugating medium of the corrugated fiberboard by being rotated, at positions corresponding to side edge locations of the glue application region; and

transferring the glue solution adhering to the surface of the glue application roll onto the surface of the corrugating medium of the corrugated fiberboard.

2. The glue application method for corrugated fiberboards according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, by side edge detection sensor, side edge locations of a web before a corrugated fiberboard is formed; and

disposing, when the cutting of the corrugated fiberboard is not performed, the glue solution regulating members at positions corresponding to side edge locations acquired from the side edge detection sensor.

3. The glue application method for corrugated fiberboards according to claim 1 , further comprising:

imaging, by imaging device, side edge regions of the corrugated fiberboard and side edge regions for a glue solution of the glue application roll at application positions;

processing, by image processor, images captured by the imaging device and detecting the side edge locations of the corrugated fiberboard and the side edge locations for a glue solution of the glue application roll; and

moving the glue solution regulating members to positions where the set glue application region is secured on the basis of the respective side edge locations acquired from the image processor.

4. The glue application method for corrugated fiberboards according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cutting width dimension is output from a production control device.

5. The glue application method for corrugated fiberboards according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, by after-cutting width dimension detection sensor, an after-cutting width dimension after the corrugated fiberboard is cut; and

moving the glue solution regulating members, using the after-cutting width dimension acquired from the after-cutting width dimension detection sensor as the cutting width dimension.

6. The glue application method for corrugated fiberboards according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, by side edge detection sensor, side edge locations of the corrugated fiberboard before being stuck; and

disposing, when the side edge locations acquired from the side edge detection sensor are inside the side edge locations of the glue application region set on the basis of the cutting width dimension, the glue solution regulating members at positions corresponding to the side edge locations acquired from the side edge detection sensor.
