  • a method for processing a sheet material comprising a step of picking up a sheet; a step of conveying the picked-up sheet along a conveying path; a step of processing the conveyed sheet by a first processing device; a step of sorting the sheet which is processed by the first processing device by the first sorting device in first and second directions based on the processing information of the first processing device; a step of processing the sheet which is sorted by the first sorting device in the first direction by a second processing device; a step of conveying the sheet which is sorted by the first sorting device in the second direction by the first conveying path; a step of sorting the sheet which is processed by the second processing device by a second sorting device in a third or a fourth direction based on the processing information of the second processing device; a step of stacking the sheet which is sorted by the second sorting device in the third direction onto a stacking section; a step of conveying the sheet which is sorted by the second sorting device in
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing a sheet material processing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • reference numeral 1 shows a loading section for receiving sheets S in a stacked state and, at the loading section 1, a pick-up roller 1a is provided, as a pick-up device, to sequentially separate and pick up the sheet from a top surface side on a one-by-one basis.
  • a conveying roller pair 2 is provided as a conveying device to allow the sheet which is picked up by the pick-up roller 1a to be conveyed along a conveying path 3.
  • a checking section 4 is provided as a first processing device to check whether or not the sheets S are conveyed, for example, in a partially/wholly overlapped state.
  • a first sorting device 6 is provided as a first sorting device to allow any overlapped sheets to be separated in a first direction and in a second direction.
  • the sheet separated in the first direction (an arrow a direction) is conveyed along a conveying path 3 while, on the other hand, the sheet separated in a second direction (an arrow b direction) is conveyed along a first "discharge" conveying path 8 as a first conveying path.
  • a processing section 10 is provided as a second processing device to check whether the sheet is fit or unfit.
  • a second sorting device comprising second sorting sections 12 and 13 is provided for allowing the sheet to be sorted in a third direction and in a fourth direction.
  • stacking sections 15, 16 are arranged to allow the fit sheet to be stacked thereon.
  • a second "discharge” conveying path 18 is provided as a second conveying path.
  • the second "discharge” conveying path 18 and first "discharge” conveying path 8 meet at a meeting site 19.
  • a stacking unit 20 is provided as a single “discharge” stacking unit 20.
  • the sheet conveyed by the first "discharge” conveying path 8 and sheet conveyed by the second “discharge” conveying path 18 can have their leading edges substantially coincide with each other if these sheets meet at the meeting site 19.
  • FIG. 2 shows a structure of the meeting site 19.
  • a guide 22 is provided at the meeting site 19 to allow the sheet which is conveyed on the first and second "discharge" conveying paths 8, 18 to be guided therealong.
  • the sheet passed through the meeting site 19 is conveyed past a conveying path 23 onto the stacking section 20 for discharge.
  • the first “discharge” conveying path 8 is so configured as to have a roller 8a, a conveying belt 8b running on the roller 8a, and a conveying belt 8c overlappingly running on the upper surface of the conveying belt 8b.
  • the second “discharge” conveying path 18 is so configured as to have a roller 18a, a conveying belt 18b running on the roller 18a, and a conveying belt 18c overlappingly running on the lower surface of the conveying belt 18b.
  • the conveying path 23 comprises the conveying belt 8c and conveying belt 18c.
  • the conveying belts 8c, 18c are wrapped around a fixed idle roller 24 such that these belts are downwardly bent with the fixed idle roller 24 as a fulcrum to impart a sandwiching force thereto.
  • the guide 22 is so formed as to bend a rectangular plate partway at an acute angle.
  • One side section 22a of the guide 22 is provided opposite to the lower surface side of the conveying belt 8c in a manner to be spaced a predetermined distance, while, on the other hand, the other side section 22b of the guide 22 is provided opposite to the upper surface side of the conveying belt 18c in a manner to be spaced a predetermined distance.
  • the pick-up roller 1a When the pick-up roller 1a is rotated, the sheets S on the sheet loading section 1 are sequentially picked up, one by one, from their top side and sent out onto the conveying path 3.
  • the sheets S thus sent out, while being sandwiched between the paired rollers 2, are conveyed at a constant speed to a checking section 4 where they are subjected to various processing, for example, they are checked whether or not they are conveyed in an overlapped state.
  • the respective sheet is sorted in the first direction as indicated by an arrow a in FIG. 1. If, on the other hand, the sheets are found as being in the overlapped state, the overlapped sheet is separated in the second direction as indicated by an arrow b in FIG. 1.
  • the sheet S sorted in the first direction as indicated by an arrow a is conveyed along the conveying path 3 to the processing section 10 where the content of the sheet is decided as being normal or not.
  • the sheet S separated in the second direction as indicated by an arrow b is conveyed along the first "discharge" conveying path 8 to a meeting site 19.
  • the sheet is guided by the one side section 22a of the guide 22 as indicated by a solid arrow onto the conveying path 23 and further conveyed past the conveying path onto a "discharge" stacking section 20 where it is stacked.
  • the sheet S processed by the processing section 10 is conveyed therefrom and, based on the processing information of the processing section 10, the sheet S thus conveyed is sorted by the operations of the second sorting sections 12 and 13 and conveyed in the third or fourth direction. That is, the normal sheet which is sorted by the second sorting sections 12, 13 in the third direction (arrow c direction) is stacked, as in a bundle unit, onto the normal sheet stacking sections 15, 16.
  • the sheet which is sorted in a fourth direction (arrow d direction) as being not normal is conveyed through the second "discharge" conveying path 18 to the meeting site 19.
  • the sheet is guided, by the other side section 22b of the guide 22, as indicated by a broken arrow line onto the conveying path 23 and, along the conveying path 23, onto the "discharge" stacking unit 20 where the sheet is stacked.
  • the first and second "discharge" conveying paths 8, 18 meet at the meeting site 19 and, therefore, the sheets discharged from the first and second "discharge” conveying paths 8 and 18 can be stacked onto a single “discharge” stacking unit (20). It is not necessary to provide individual corresponding stacking units and it is easier to collect the discharged sheets and to obtain a simple automatic unit.
  • the conveying belt 8c can be freely set on the fixed idle roller 24 in accordance with the thickness of the sheet and it is possible to prevent jamming of sheets and their lodging.
  • FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a meeting site 19.
  • a conveying belt 8c and conveying belt 18c are sandwiched between a fixed idle roller 24 and a pinch roller 25.
  • a proper sandwiching can be provided without forcing the conveying belts 8c and 18c to be bent with the fixed idle roller 24 as a fulcrum. It is, therefore, possible to freely set the direction of a conveying path provided by the conveying belts 8c and 18c.
