At first, the motion flow of thin slice being piled up when being housed in stacked tray 1 is described.

When the discharge signal that is sent by image processing system based on the first page of doubling action, begin to drive and carry motor 40 (S1), piling apparatus 2 and

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b are moved to position of readiness (S2, S3).

Afterwards, detect thin slice by emitting roller sensor 41, detecting afterwards (S4a of the disconnection of sensor (Off), Yes), when the predetermined pulse that only arrives stacked tray 1 with thin slice drives (S4b, Yes), connect help roll electromagnetic assembly 422 (S5).

By connecting help roll electromagnetic assembly 422, help roll 42 will be transported to the thin slice of stacked tray 1 and carry to piling apparatus 2.

After connecting help roll electromagnetic assembly 422, when only driving the conveying motor with the predetermined pulse number again (S6, Yes), the horizontal integration action (S7) of thin slice is carried out in the driving of beginning horizontal integration motor 30.

After the driving of horizontal integration motor 30 begins, when only driving conveying motor 40 with the predetermined pulse number again, disconnect help roll electromagnetic assembly 422 (S8), afterwards, when horizontal integration action knot is folded, make horizontal integration motor 30 namely open direction rotation to reversing sense, and drive

In addition, by S4 shown in Figure 10, emit roller sensor 41 and detect after the thin slice rear end, when being first page, reduce delivery speed at the thin slice (having detected the thin slice of rear end) of working as pre-processing.This is because when the first page thin slice, owing to not having thin slice at stacked tray 1, so it is little to impose on the friction force of thin slice, from as the final roller of transport path A emit roller 43 when discharging thin slice to stacked tray 1, the phenomenon that thin slice exceedingly flies out upward can appear.Therefore, as the thin slice after the second page, as long as at stacked tray 1 one page thin slice is arranged, will the phase mutual friction between the thin slice, therefore, can not produce the problem that thin slice exceedingly flies out.

From S5 shown in Figure 10 between the S8 shown in Figure 11, the predetermined pulse that is used for making help roll 42 start (On) and the position of readiness of piling apparatus 2 are according to each specified lamina dimensions of image processing system and different, also because of lamina dimensions difference difference.

Predetermined pulse among the S6 shown in Figure 11 is different because the delivery speed of the thin slice after above-mentioned first page or the second page is different.This be because, horizontal integration action based on

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b, be positioned at help roll 42 under the state of position of readiness, need to make the horizontal integration plate be connected to end on the direction with thin slice throughput direction quadrature, and the driving of horizontal integration action (S7) also is that the specified time knot is folded before in the timing that help roll 42 is stopped (S8).

Below, the motion flow when folded enforcement bookbinding is processed and folded and processes about the thin slice that accumulation in the stacked tray 1 is accommodated describes.

Tie poststack in the action till S9 of piling up the Figure 11 that accommodates to stacked tray 1, accumulation is useful on (S10 in the situation of the thin slice that folds the number of pages of processing, Yes), again drive horizontal integration motor 30 to integrating direction, carry out horizontal integration action (S11).

Afterwards, drive horizontal integration motor 30 to opening direction, and the horizontal integration plate is urged to guide position (S12) when binding action.

Begin simultaneously with the action of S12, drive the first binding apparatus motor that is arranged in binding apparatus inboard, the left and right sides, bind processing (S13).

(the second embodiment)

Below, the second embodiment of the present invention is described.

Present embodiment is the variation of the respective embodiments described above.Below, the part about the part identical function that has and illustrated in the first embodiment marks identical symbol, and omits and be described.

(thin slice is folded when carrying pass through help roll carries out auxiliary)

In the prior art, thin slice is being implemented bookbinding is processed or folding the processing in the sheet handling device that isotactic processes surely, to thin slice folded bind processing after, make the folded position movement to fold processing of thin slice.

At this moment in the folded movement of thin slice, known have a following described formation: hill holder use in the folded location of the thin slice that adopts when mobile bookbinding is processed, and makes that thin slice is folded follows this hill holder based on deadweight, and moves it to the folding processing position of readiness of stipulating.

But, such as above-mentioned prior art, folded the leaving in the formation of keeping out of the way action of binding apparatus of thin slice of utilizing after processing is bound in the folded deadweight of thin slice, consist of and to have implemented that the folded thin slice number of thin slice that bookbinding processes is more or because impacts such as static when causing the folded transporting resistance of thin slice large, the situation of the folded conveying of thin slice can't be normally carried out in existence.

So, in order to solve such problem, in the related sheet handling device of the second embodiment of the present invention, adopted following formation.

Figure 22 is the functional block diagram in the related sheet handling device of the second embodiment of the present invention.Figure 23 is the instruction diagram for the action that the second embodiment of the present invention is described, Figure 24 is the timing diagram of driving timing such as expression help roll etc.In addition, in Figure 23, the folded center of thin slice in the stacked tray 1, that carry out when binding processing is made as N1, the thin slice during with the folding processing of execution is folded the center and is made as N2, and the folded fed distance of the thin slice from position N1 to position N2 is made as l.

The related sheet handling device 1Fb of present embodiment comprises drive control part 2001, information obtaining section 2002.In addition, drive control part 2001 can be the hardware that is independent of CPU 801, also can be CPU 801 and the combination of software, can also be other treater different from CPU 801 and the combination of software.For example, drive control part 2001 can realize by the program that CPU 801 carries out storage among the MEMORY 802, still, is not limited in this.

Help roll 42 (integration roller) is identical with situation in the above-mentioned embodiment, can be with respect to the sheet plane butt of the thin slice that is kept by piling apparatus 2, leave, and has following functions: make roll surface and this thin slice butt of rotation, thereby the reference position that this thin slice is pushed in the piling apparatus 2 is also integrated.

Drive control part 2001 has been implemented the folded S ' of thin slice that bookbinding processes when mobile along the direction of keeping out of the way from binding apparatus 5 (to the direction of implementing the folding position movement of processing) making by piling apparatus 2, rotary actuation is carried motor 40, make help roll 42 have carrying capacity, and, after help roll electromagnetic assembly 422 is connected, make help roll 42 be connected to the folded S ' of thin slice that piling apparatus 2 keeps, auxiliary sheet is folded the movement of S '.

Information obtaining section 2002 obtains at least a in the following information: with consist of the thin slice number of pages relevant information (for example, obtaining from image processing system 1P) of folding as the thin slice of processing object by the bookbinding of binding apparatus 5; Process the size related information (for example, from image processing system 1P obtain) of thin slice on the moving direction of piling apparatus 2 that the thin slice of object is folded with consisting of as the folded sheet thickness relevant information (for example, obtaining from emitting roller sensor 41) of the thin slice of processing object by the bookbinding of binding apparatus 5 and with consisting of as the bookbinding of binding apparatus 5.

The folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice that drive control part 2001 is processed object in formation conduct bookbinding is in the situation about stipulating more than the number of pages, when making thin slice be stacked in the direction of keeping out of the way (retracting) from binding apparatus 5 to move by piling apparatus 2, the folded butt of the thin slice that help roll 42 and piling apparatus 2 are kept.Generally speaking, if it is many to consist of the folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice, then have following tendency: the folded whole thickness of thin slice increases, and the friction force between the wall of stacked tray etc. and thin slice are folded strengthens (the folded transporting resistance of thin slice increases).Therefore, consisting of in the many situations of the folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice, carry out the auxiliary conveying based on help roll, thereby, thin slice is folded stably moved to the direction of keeping out of the way from binding apparatus 5.

In addition, drive control part 2001 is formation as described below: make by piling apparatus 2 when having implemented thin slice that bookbinding processes and being stacked in the direction of keeping out of the way from binding apparatus 5 and moving, consist of that to process the thickness of the folded thin slice of the thin slice of object as bookbinding thicker, make help roll 42 be connected to the folded time of thin slice that piling apparatus 2 keeps longer.

This be because, if it is thick to consist of the thickness of the folded thin slice of thin slice, then the folded whole thickness of thin slice increases, and the friction force between the wall of stacked tray etc. and thin slice are folded has the trend (the folded transporting resistance of thin slice increases) of enhancing, therefore is used in the folded time expand of carrying of auxiliary sheet.

In addition, drive control part 2001 has been implemented the thin slice that bookbinding processes and has been stacked in from binding apparatus 5 to the direction of keeping out of the way (namely, when implementing folding the processing, carry the folded direction of thin slice to the thin slice position of readiness) when moving making by piling apparatus 2, optimal way is, consist of that to process the folded lamina dimensions of the thin slice of object as bookbinding larger, then make help roll 42 be connected to the thin slice that piling apparatus 2 kept with more early timing folded.When the folded lamina dimensions of formation thin slice was large, the lower end of the thin slice that stacked tray keeps was compared with undersized thin slice and is positioned at lower position, therefore, preferably made in advance help roll 42 be connected to the folded timing of thin slice.

In addition, it is folded that drive control part 2001 makes help roll 42 be connected to the thin slice that piling apparatus 2 keeps, until than the folded more late timing of the knot of keeping out of the way action, this is kept out of the way action and refers to that by tractor-drawn rake 2 thin slice of having implemented the bookbinding processing being folded moves to keeping out of the way direction from binding apparatus 5.Thus, when folded, can integrate reliably in the reference position of piling apparatus 2 the folded end of thin slice at the above-mentioned action knot kept out of the way.

In addition, make help roll 42 be connected to thin slice that piling apparatus 2 keeps folded after, motor 40 and help roll electromagnetic assemblies 422 are carried in drive control part 2001 controls, so that it is folded to make help roll 42 leave this thin slice under help roll 42 postrotational states.Thus, can guarantee to carry auxiliary thin slice gap by help roll 42, prevent that thin slice from folded fold or bending occuring.

In addition, make by piling apparatus 2 when having implemented that thin slice that bookbinding processes is folded to be moved from binding apparatus 5 to the direction of keeping out of the way, drive control part 2001 is preferably to be connected to the folded help rolls 42 of this thin slice than fireballing circumferential speed rotary actuation of keeping out of the way of piling apparatus 2.Thus, the delivery speed that can avoid help roll 42 is kept out of the way speed (making the folded mobile speed of thin slice) when slow than piling apparatus 2, and help roll 42 overslaughs carry the folded state of affairs of thin slices to occur by piling apparatus 2.

In addition, optimal way is, in the present embodiment, to have implemented the thin slice that bookbinding processes folded to the timing that direction begins to keep out of the way action of keeping out of the way of leaving binding apparatus 5 making by piling apparatus 2, and help roll 42 is configured on the position that can be connected to the folded position, central downstream of keeping out of the way direction of thin slice that piling apparatus keeps.This is because if come the folded movement of auxiliary sheet by being connected to the help roll 42 of keeping out of the way the direction upstream side, the thin slice that exists the rear end to be pressed is folded and had the defective that bends.

As mentioned above, second embodiment of the invention, even consisting of in the such situation of the folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice difficulty of transportation more or that cause thin slice to be folded owing to impacts such as static, making by piling apparatus when having implemented thin slice that bookbinding processes and being stacked in the direction of keeping out of the way from binding apparatus and moving, can normally carry out the folded conveying of thin slice.

And, second embodiment of the invention, for example can provide the sheet handling device of following formation.

(1) in the sheet handling device of above-mentioned formation, also comprise folding handling part, this folding treatment sites is on the mobile route of above-mentioned piling apparatus, to folding processing of the folded enforcement of the thin slice that is delivered to the regulation folding position.Wherein, above-mentioned drive control part is when making the thin slice of having implemented above-mentioned bookbinding processing fold from the afore mentioned rules position movement to above-mentioned regulation folding position by above-mentioned piling apparatus, make above-mentioned integration roller be connected to the thin slice that piling apparatus keeps folded, the folded movement of auxiliary this thin slice.

(2) in the sheet handling device of above-mentioned formation, also comprise folding processing unit, this folding processing unit is positioned on the mobile route of above-mentioned piling apparatus, to folding processing of the folded enforcement of the thin slice that is delivered to the regulation folding position.When making the thin slice of having implemented above-mentioned bookbinding processing fold from the afore mentioned rules position movement to above-mentioned regulation folding position by above-mentioned piling apparatus, it is folded that above-mentioned driving control unit makes above-mentioned integration roller be connected to the thin slice that piling apparatus keeps, the folded movement of auxiliary this thin slice.

(3) in the slice treating method of above-mentioned formation, above-mentioned sheet handling device also comprises folding handling part, and this folding treatment sites is on the mobile route of above-mentioned piling apparatus, to folding processing of the folded enforcement of the thin slice that is delivered to the regulation folding position.To have implemented thin slice that above-mentioned bookbinding processes folded during from the afore mentioned rules position movement to above-mentioned regulation folding position making by above-mentioned piling apparatus, makes above-mentioned integration roller be connected to the thin slice that piling apparatus keeps folded, the folded movement of auxiliary this thin slice.

As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, provide a kind of being not limited to consist of the folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice or transporting resistance etc., can stably bind the folded technology of keeping out of the way action of leaving binding apparatus of thin slice after the processing.

The folding motor 800 of pipage control section 4002 controls, so that will switch to the second delivery speed to 89 thin slice delivery speed from the first delivery speed based on folding roller with the timing of regulation, wherein, the timing of afore mentioned rules be from the folded thin slice of folding blade 100 knot folded be pressed into action, beginning after the homing action of position of readiness to be pressed into by folding blade 100 folding roller to the folded rear end of the thin slice of 89 the section of nipping by folding roller till to 89 the section of nipping during (optimal way is, after the beginning homing action to folding blade 100 the position of readiness of regulation stop during) the regulation timing.

The information such as the data sheet of preserving based on pipage control section 4002 or MEMORY 802, timing diagram, function are carried out the driving control based on the folding motor 800 of above-mentioned pipage control section 4002.

Be used for connecting free-wheel clutch 802 from folding motor 800 to folding roller to the 89 gear 803b that transmit driving.

For example, make folding motor 800 along arrow E direction rotation shown in Figure 28.So by timing belt 801, gear 803a and magnetic clutch 900, gear 803b is along arrow H direction rotation.If gear 803b along arrow H direction rotation, then is passed to driving gear 803c, by gear 803d and gear 803e, drive drive side folding roller 89a along arrow J direction rotation.

Like this, make folding motor 800 along the arrow E direction rotation, by using the gear row of the large gear 803c of reduction ratio, carry out the transmission of propulsive effort, thereby can make folding roller 89 rotations with slow speed of revolution (the first delivery speed), high torque (HT).

On the other hand, when making folding motor 800 along arrow F direction rotation shown in Figure 29, driving timing band 801, gear 803a and magnetic clutch 900 on the direction opposite with hand of rotation shown in Figure 28, by these gears 803a and magnetic clutch 900, gear 803b rotates in arrow I direction.If gear 803b along arrow I direction rotation, then drives and is passed to gear 803f and 803g, by

gear

803d and 803e, drive drive side folding roller 89a along arrow J direction rotation.

Like this, make folding motor 800 along arrow F direction rotation, by using the gear row of the little gear 803f of reduction ratio and 803g, carry out the transmission of propulsive effort, thereby can make folding roller 89 High Rotation Speeds (the second delivery speed).

In addition, according to Figure 28 and mechanism shown in Figure 29, be not only and make folding motor 800 to the E direction rotation, and even when making folding motor 800 to the F direction rotation, drive side folding roller 89a also is along arrow J direction rotation.Therefore, can make based on folding roller is equidirectional to the folded throughput direction of 89 thin slice.

According to said mechanism, when folding the processing, arrow E direction at the high hand of rotation of reduction ratio makes folding motor 800 rotations, thereby carry out the driving of low speed, high torque (HT), by the folding blade 100 that moves towards the right section of nipping of roller from position of readiness, will laminate the right section of nipping of roller that drives into the first delivery speed as the thin slice of processing object.Then, at the folded folding processing knot poststack of thin slice, folding motor 800 was stopped, and when the folded conveying of thin slice, making folding motor 800 to reciprocal arrow F direction rotation, thereby can carry at high speed thin slice folded.

Particularly, pipage control section 4002 will switch to the second delivery speed V2 to 89 thin slice delivery speed from the first delivery speed V1 based on folding roller with the timing of regulation, the timing of this regulation be from the folded thin slice of folding blade 100 knots folded be pressed into folding roller on action, the beginning moving direction after the homing action of position of readiness, when having begun to homing action by folding blade 100 of the front end of the folding blade 100 of the movement of this position of readiness till to 89 end of downstream side position during the regulation timing.Like this, the folding knot of processing is folded, and then carries out as soon as possible the switching from the first delivery speed to the second delivery speed, thereby can help the productivity of device integral body to improve.

In addition, the thin slice that formation is more as the folded thin slice number of pages of the thin slice of folding processing object or the folding thin slice of processing object of formation is folded is thicker, then optimal way is, pipage control section 4002 postpones and is used for switching to based on folding roller the timing of the second delivery speed from the first delivery speed to 89 thin slice delivery speed.

Like this, when to as if the thin slice that requires high torque (HT) to fold to process when folded, carry the folded time of thin slice by keeping for a long time with the first delivery speed (low speed, high torque (HT)), can fold reliably processing.

In addition, when the folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice that consists of the folding processing of conduct object is less than the regulation number of pages, optimal way is, pipage control section 4002 the folded thin slice of folding blade 100 knot folded be pressed into action, beginning to the homing action of position of readiness after to be pressed into by folding blade 100 rear end that folding roller folds the thin slice of 89 the section of nipping by folding roller till to 89 the section of nipping during, only with the second delivery speed driving folding roller to 89.

Generally speaking, when formation is less than the regulation number of pages as the folding folded thin slice number of pages of thin slice of processing object, folding roller is to 89 rotary actuation and do not require very large torque, therefore, by from thin slice folded sandwich folding roller to stage of 89 begin with at a high speed, low torque carries, and can help productive raising.

Below, the folding roller based on pipage control section 4002 is described the Acceleration Control in 89 the driving.

Generally speaking, when carrying thin slice folded by folding roller to 89 clampings, if delivery speed is changed sharp, then can appear at the folded upper situation that produces fold or damage thin slice self of the thin slice of having implemented folding processing.

Therefore, if it is more to consist of the thin slice number of pages of folding as the folding thin slice of processing object, then the pipage control section 4002 in the present embodiment carries out PWN control by the motor step inlet signal by folding motor 800, thus the acceleration A 2 when further attenuating will be switched from the first delivery speed to the second delivery speed 89 thin slice delivery speed based on folding roller.This is because when the folded thin slice number of pages of the thin slice that consists of the folding processing of conduct object is more, if folding roller is accelerated 89, then easily folds at thin slice and produce fold.

On the other hand, if it is thicker to consist of the thin slice number of pages of folding as the folding thin slice of processing object, then pipage control section 4002 carries out PWM control by the motor step inlet signal by folding motor 800, thus the acceleration/accel when further raising will be switched from the first delivery speed to the second delivery speed 89 thin slice delivery speed based on folding roller.This be because, consisting of when thinner as the folded thin slice of the folding thin slice of processing object, if folding roller is accelerated 89, can become the folded damaged reason of thin slice, still, when thin slice is thicker, but can bear unexpected acceleration.

And, according to the 4th embodiment of the present invention, for example can provide the sheet handling device of following formation.

(1) in the sheet handling device of above-mentioned formation, comprises be used to the information that obtains with consisting of as based on the relevant information of the folded sheet thickness of the thin slice of the folding processing object of folding blade and obtain the unit.Formation is thicker as the folded thin slice of the thin slice of above-mentioned folding processing object, described conveying control device improves acceleration/accel, and this acceleration/accel is the acceleration/accel when switching to above-mentioned the second delivery speed based on the right thin slice delivery speed of above-mentioned roller from above-mentioned the first delivery speed.

Like this, according to present embodiment, can significantly improve thin slice folded has been implemented after the folding processing, will have been folded the productivity when processing that the folded thin slice of knot is folded to be delivered to the downstream, in addition, the folded fold that occurs of the thin slice in the time of can preventing folding the processing.

(the 5th embodiment)

Below, the 5th embodiment of the present invention is described.

Present embodiment is the variation of the respective embodiments described above.Below, about having the part of the function identical with the part that had illustrated in the first embodiment, mark identical symbol, and omit its description.

(based on the correction of the testing result of the position that makes the folded standby of thin slice by piling apparatus)

Generally speaking, when implementing bookbinding processing or folding the processing to thin slice is folded, based on the specified value of lamina dimensions (such as, A3, A4, B4, B5 etc.) calculate the lamina dimensions that consists of as on the throughput direction of the folded thin slice of the thin slice of processing object, when being judged as lamina dimensions and having departed from specified value, carry out error notification.

In existing sheet handling device, when the thin slice of size provided as the object of binding processing or folding processing outside the user will stipulate, existence can't be carried out the situation of these processing.

Below, in the related sheet handling device of present embodiment, bind and process and the driving control of piling apparatus 2 during folding the processing is elaborated.

Figure 31 is the functional block diagram of the related sheet handling device of fifth embodiment of the invention.

The related sheet handling device 1Fd of present embodiment comprises size calculating part 5001, processes adjustment part, position 5002.In addition, processing adjustment part, position 5002 can be the hardware that is independent of CPU 801, also can be the combination of CPU 801 and software, can also be and other treater that is different from CPU 801 and the combination of software.For example, process adjustment part, position 5002 and can realize by the program that CPU 801 carries out storage among the MEMORY 802, still, be not limited in this.

Size calculating part 5001 is based on the testing result of emitting in the roller sensor 41, calculates the size on the throughput direction of the thin slice by emitting roller sensor 41.Specifically, size calculating part 5001 according to from emit roller sensor 41 detect the thin slice front end to detect till the thin slice rear end during in the actuation step number of conveying motor 40, calculate sheet length.

Process the lamina dimensions that calculate based on size calculating part 5001 adjustment part, position 5002, adjustment is folded the thin slice of the object of conduct bookbinding processing or folding processing and is implemented to bind the position of processing or folding processing.

Below, the processing position adjustment folded to the thin slice in the present embodiment is elaborated.

Distance from the gutter pos of original binding apparatus 5 to the position of readiness of piling apparatus pawl 21 is made as L0, the theoretical value of the length on the throughput direction of the lamina dimensions of appointment is made as L1, the distance from the gutter pos to the folding position is made as L2.

In the sheet length that size calculating part 5001 is calculated (measured value) when being made as L4, for example when measured value L4 is " L4＞L1 ", process adjustment part, position 5002 and only drive accumulation motor 20 with the distance of " (L1-L4)/2 ", and accumulation pawl 21 is descended.

On above-mentioned position, pile up thin slice to final one page at stacked tray 1, and folded enforcement of the thin slice of piling up only driven with " L2 " and pile up pawl 21 after bookbinding processes, implement folding the processing also and discharge.

On the other hand, for example when the sheet length that size calculating part 5001 is calculated is made as L4, for example when measured value L4 is " L4＜L1 ", processes adjustment part, position 5002 and only drive accumulation motor 20 with the distance of " (L1-L4)/2 ", and accumulation pawl 21 is risen.

According to such formation, even specified lamina dimensions is different with the measured value of the actual thin slice that provides from image processing system 1P, still, by processing the adjustment of position, also can binds accurately and process and folding processing.

Thus, at first make and pile up pawl 21 standby on the corresponding position of lamina dimensions, as long as carry out the correction of magnitude of error, therefore, can carry out with the short time correction of error, more desirable aspect productivity.

In addition, here show based on emitting testing result in the roller sensor 41 and calculate that bookbinding is processed or the formation of the size of the thin slice of the folding object of processing as implementing, but, be not limited in this, also can be following formation: for example, not shown thin slice end detecting sensor is set, testing result based on this sensor is calculated sheet length, and this thin slice end detecting sensor is for detection of the end of the thin slice that is moved by piling apparatus 2.

For example, carry out the correction of the folded processing position of thin slice by following treatment scheme.

At first, process adjustment part, position 5002 and drive accumulation motor 20, make accumulation pawl 21 move to the thin slice holding fix, wait for as the thin slice of the number of pages of processing object and fold marshalling.

Then, processing adjustment part, position 5002 rises until thin slice end detecting sensor is connected accumulation pawl 21.

Here,

The distance of L0=from gutter pos to the accumulation pawl 21 of waiting for the thin slice state

The theoretical value of L1=sheet length (specification value)

The distance of L2=from thin slice end detecting sensor to the accumulation pawl 21 of waiting for the thin slice state

L3=folds the distance of the position of processing to enforcement from the position of implementing the bookbinding processing

At this moment, can from the moment that thin slice end detecting sensor is connected, try to achieve the measured length of thin slice.

When condition is:

L0=L1/2+ (maximum sheet length-sheet length theoretical value)

L2=L1+ (maximum sheet length-sheet length theoretical value)

At this moment,

Sheet length=L2-thin slice end detects the miles of relative movement in mobile number of steps * 1 step.

Size calculating part 5001 calculates the measured length as the thin slice of processing object based on above-mentioned calculating formula.

Process adjustment part, position 5002 based on following calculating formula, make the middle position on the throughput direction of thin slice move to gutter pos.

Gutter pos move number of steps=

(the thin slice end detects the miles of relative movement in mobile number of steps-(maximum sheet length-sheet length theoretical value)/1 step)/2

(the result that calculates here is timing, rises; Calculate the result when negative, descend)

Like this, according to present embodiment, carrying out that sheet fold is processed or during folding the processing, even during the dimensional accuracy of employed thin slice (length) inaccuracy, can implement to thin slice also that high-precision bookbinding is processed and folding the processing.

(the 6th embodiment)

(the 7th embodiment)

Below, the 7th embodiment of the present invention is described.

(piling apparatus and horizontal integration plate are to the mobile control regularly of position of readiness)

In the prior art, horizontal integration plate and accumulation pawl come the management position based on the pulse count of stepping motor, until all tying to be stacked as, selected processing ends, and do not turn back to original position, wherein, this horizontal integration plate is used for the combined implementation bookbinding and processes and fold when processing and the end on the direction of thin slice throughput direction quadrature, and this accumulation pawl is used for stopping the end on the thin slice throughput direction and integrating.

Therefore, because the impacts such as individual difference when the individual difference of parts or device assembling, the position deviation of horizontal integration plate or hill holder occurs easily.Therefore, for example when the multipage thin slice being processed or thin slice continuously implemented different multiple processing, if the accumulation of above-mentioned position deviation is gone down, consequently, there is the possibility of the larger position deviation of generation.

In order to address the above problem a little, known have a following methods: namely, the movement by piling apparatus, make the folded return-to-home position of the thin slice of implementing bookbinding processing or folding processing once, to guarantee the control method of positional precision, but horizontal integration plate and accumulation pawl also have the folded effect of guiding thin slice, therefore, have following problem: if the generation time of return-to-home position mistake, then deviation namely can occur in the precision of folding position.In addition, process the driving that knot begins the horizontal integration plate again and piles up pawl after folded folding, then can produce unnecessary wait time, cause the problem of processing time increase.

So, in the related sheet handling device of present embodiment, adopted following formation.Figure 38 is be used to the instruction diagram that the sheet handling device that the 7th embodiment of the present invention is related is described.

In the related sheet handling device of present embodiment,

horizontal integration plate

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b to thin slice folded with direction thin slice throughput direction quadrature on the end integrate, pile up the folded end on the thin slice throughput direction of pawl 21 collision thin slices, and make it consistent with the reference position of gutter pos and folding position according to different thin slice classifications.

In order to implement folding additional treatments to by folding roller 89 thin slices of having implemented folding processing being folded, after folding additional position detecting sensor 71 detects thin slice, make

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b and accumulation pawl 21 move to original position, wherein, this folding additional position detecting sensor 71 is for detection of the position of 89 thin slices of discharging being folded from folding roller.

Drive pulse when driving folding blade 100 is judged when the folded whether folded roller of thin slice is nipped to 89, owing to depending on until thin slice is folded folded roller to 89 actual miles of relative movement of nipping, so deviation is very large.

Be directed to this, be disposed at folding roller to the testing result of the folding additional position detecting sensor 71 of 89 conveyance direction downstream side if utilize, can judging reliably thin slice, folded whether folded roller is nipped to 89.

Like this, according to being detected after the thin slice by folding additional position detecting sensor 71, making

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b and accumulation pawl 21 move to consisting of of original position, can upper in position to integrate thin slice folded by

horizontal integration plate

31a and 31b and accumulation pawl 21, can help the precision of folding position and gutter pos to improve.

(the 8th embodiment)

Below, the 8th embodiment of the present invention is described.

(the downward one page thin slice of piling apparatus and horizontal integration plate is accepted the mobile control regularly of position)

In binding processing or the folding existing sheet handling device of processing, the horizontal integration plate and pile up pawl bookbinding process or folding process knot folded after, move to the position of accepting of next thin slice for implementing to process, wherein, this horizontal integration plate be used for to integrate carry out that above-mentioned bookbinding is processed or the direction of during folding processing the and throughput direction quadrature thin slice on the end, this accumulations pawl is used for colliding the end on the thin slice throughput direction and positioning.

But, for process for folded folding of thin slice actual knot folded after and carry out next page integration and the driving that begins the horizontal integration plate or pile up pawl, can produce unnecessary wait time, existing problems aspect productivity.

On the other hand, if the movement that before the folding processing knot folded to thin slice is folded, just begins the horizontal integration plate or pile up pawl, then have following problem: for example to large-sized thin slice folded implemented folding processing after, when implementing folding the processing to undersized thin slice is folded again, begin in advance mobile horizontal integration plate or pile up pawl and the folded mutually mutual interference of thin slice that folds in processing, the thin slice in folding the processing is folded and can be produced flaw.

So, in the related sheet handling device of present embodiment, adopted following formation.

Figure 39 and Figure 40 are be used to the instruction diagram that the sheet handling device that the 8th embodiment of the present invention is related is described.

Generally speaking, the folding processing folded for thin slice needs very large torque, based on folding roller during to 89 folding processings, with low speed rotation driving folding roller to 89.In addition, because for to by folding roller the folded additional fold of again implementing of 89 thin slice being processed and is made that thin slice is folded to be stopped, therefore, make and pile up pawl 21 and move to when accepting lower one page and being used for the position of the thin slice processed, pile up the pawl 21 rear end in contact folded with the thin slice in folding the processing.

Therefore, optimal way is, with pile up pawl 21 begin from original position or timing setting from the stop position of having implemented folding processing to the position movement of accepting the thin slice that lower one page should process for do not occur with folding the processing thin slice folded and after folding the processing, the timing of the folded rear end in contact of the thin slice carried.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, after to the folded folding processing of thin slice, stop folding motor 800, come into effect the additional fold that drives additional fold roller 7 process after to stopping between the enforcement, make horizontal integration plate and accumulation pawl to the position movement that should accept the thin slice that lower one page should process.
