Abstract

A winding core holder includes a holder main body, a lifter to raise and lower the holder main body, and a roller movably held relative to the holder main body, enabling the winding core to be placed and moved in the winding core axial direction. The roller includes a high-release surface with a higher release property than a surface of the holder main body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A winding core holding device, comprising:
a winding core holder to hold a winding core including an adhesive surface; wherein the winding core holder includes a holder main body, a lifter to raise and lower the holder main body, and a roller movably held relative to the holder main body to enable the winding core to be placed and moved in a winding core axial direction; and the roller includes a high-release surface that is higher in a release property than a surface of the holder main body.

2 . The winding core holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holder main body includes two surfaces that face the winding core when the winding core is placed on the roller.

3 . The winding core holding device according to claim 2 , wherein the two surfaces are inclined so as to diverge upwards.

4 . The winding core holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the winding core holder includes at least four of the roller.

5 . The winding core holding device according to claim 2 , wherein each of the two surfaces of the winding core holder includes at least two of the roller.

6 . The winding core holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the roller includes a plurality of rollers.

7 . The winding core holding device according to claim 1 , wherein
the lifter is movable so as to raise and lower the holder main body between a raised position and a lowered position; and the winding core holding device further includes a movement restrictor to restrict the winding core placed on the roller from moving in the winding core axial direction when the holder main body is in the lowered position, and to expose an end of the winding core placed on the roller when the holder main body is in the raised position.

8 . The winding core holding device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the surface of the roller, on which the winding core is placed, is made from a material including fluorine resin.

9 . The winding core holding device according to claim 8 , wherein the roller is made of fluorine resin.

10 . The winding core holding device according to claim 8 , wherein electroless nickel plating including fluorine resin is provided on the surface of the roller on which the winding core is placed.

11 . The winding core holding device according to claim 8 , wherein a fluorine resin coating is provided on the surface of the roller on which the winding core is placed.

12 . An automated guided vehicle, comprising:
a winding core holder to hold a winding core including an adhesive surface; wherein the winding core holder includes a holder main body, a lifter to raise and lower the holder main body, and a roller movably held relative to the holder main body to enable the winding core to be placed and moved in a winding core axial direction; and the roller includes a high-release surface that is higher in a release property than a surface of the holder main body.

13 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein the holder main body includes two surfaces that face the winding core when the winding core is placed on the roller.

14 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the two surfaces are inclined so as to diverge upwards.

15 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein the winding core holder includes at least four of the roller.

16 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein each of the two surfaces of the winding core holder includes at least two of the roller.

17 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein the roller includes a plurality of rollers.

18 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein
the lifter is movable so as to raise and lower the holder main body between a raised position and a lowered position; and the winding core holding device further includes a movement restrictor to restrict the winding core placed on the roller from moving in the winding core axial direction when the holder main body is in the lowered position, and to expose an end of the winding core placed on the roller when the holder main body is in the raised position.

19 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein at least the surface of the roller on which the winding core is placed is made from a material including fluorine resin.

20 . The automated guided vehicle according to claim 19 , wherein the roller is made of fluorine resin.
