Roll molding device
In the present invention, when synchronization is lost due to backlash, and deviation between the rotational phases of a first processing roll and a second processing roll occurs, deviation between the rotational phases of dummy rotating bodies also occurs, and dummy blade parts of the dummy rotating bodies interfere with each other before blade parts of cutting blades of the first processing roll and the second processing roll ( 40 ) interfere with each other. Thus, interference between the blade parts is prevented.
1. A roll forming machine comprising:
a pair of processing rolls arranged to face each other, the pair of processing rolls each including cutting parts formed on an outer circumferential portion such that the cutting parts mesh with each other to machine a sheet inserted between the processing rolls; and
interference preventing mechanism including a pair of dummy rotating bodies arranged on rotary shafts of the pair of processing rolls, each dummy rotating body including dummy cutting parts the number of which is equal to the number of the cutting parts of each processing roll, wherein, in response to rotational phase deviation between the processing rolls, the interference preventing mechanism is configured to prevent interference between the cutting parts of the processing rolls based on rotational phase deviation that simultaneously occurs between the dummy rotating bodies,
wherein the interference preventing mechanism is configured to set a first clearance between the dummy cutting parts of the dummy rotating bodies to be smaller than a second clearance between the cutting parts of the processing rolls, and in response to the rotational phase deviation, the interference preventing mechanism is configured to cause interference to occur between the dummy cutting parts of the dummy rotating bodies.
2. The roll forming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy cutting parts have a thickness that is set greater than a thickness of the cutting parts.
3. The roll forming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy cutting parts are set harder than the cutting parts.
4. The roll forming machine according to claim 1 , wherein,
the interference preventing mechanism includes:
a clearance detecting unit, which detects a first clearance between the dummy cutting parts of the dummy rotating bodies; and
a controller, which stops a drive source that drives the rotary shafts when the first clearance detected by the clearance detecting unit becomes less than a threshold value.
