Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet packaging apparatus for packaging a plurality of stacked sheets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in the case of an X-ray film, a photosensitive material wound in a roll shape is cut into predetermined lengths to form a sheet, and a plurality of the sheets are laminated and a protective cover is attached. Then, it is sealed in a light-shielding bag and shipped as a package.

In this case, the light-shielding bag is formed in a bag shape so as to surround the laminated sheet body, and then the front end portion and the rear end portion are sealed to be in a sealed state.

By the way, in such a sheet production system, it is necessary to form the package as compact as possible in order to efficiently process a large amount of the package without increasing the space. In this case, if the front end and the rear end of the sealed package project forward and backward, efficient storage cannot be performed. Therefore, these protruding parts need to be folded and processed.

[0005] However, the sheet body stored in the light-shielding bag may move in the bag, and in order to perform the folding process in consideration of such a situation, the configuration of the processing apparatus becomes considerably complicated. Is expected. In addition, if the folding process is not performed reliably, the sheet body stored during the conveyance may move, causing a flaw or the like.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and enables a package to be compactly and reliably folded with a simple structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet packaging apparatus that does not cause any problem.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method of folding a rear fillet portion of a package by a rear fillet bending mechanism, and then folding the front fillet portion by a front fillet bending mechanism. Finally, by combining the rear fillet portion and the front fillet portion by a connecting means, the package can be formed compact. Note that a labeling mechanism that connects the front fillet portion and the rear fillet portion with a label can be used as the connecting means.

Specifically, the rear fillet bending mechanism presses the front fillet by the front fillet press, and then positions the front end of the sheet through the package by the front end positioning means. The rear fillet folding roller bends the rear fillet toward the front fillet. In this case, the squaring plate that constitutes the front end positioning means moves down to position the front end of the sheet body, and the bottoming roller rises to displace the sheet body toward the rear fillet section, thereby positioning the front end. Is performed.

Further, the front fillet bending mechanism presses the front fillet portion by the front fillet press, and then,
After positioning the front end of the sheet through the package by the front end positioning means, the front fillet folding roller bends the front fillet toward the rear fillet. Meanwhile, the rear fillet portion, which has already been bent, is held in a bent state by the rear fillet holding means.

The pawls 624a and 624b fixed to the book pull-in arm 628 engage with the side of the book 26 located on the upstream side (see FIG. 67).

After the claw portions 624a and 624b are engaged, the displacement cylinder 618 is driven, and the book pull-in arm 628
Is displaced, the book 26 is scraped out of the reversing mechanism 512 by the claw portions 624a and 624b, and the book transport carriage 610
Will be transferred above. In this case, as shown in FIG. 26, a gate plate 636 is provided on the downstream side of the book carrier 610.
The book 26 is composed of the gate plate 636, the claw portions 624 a and 624 b, and the book holding plate 6
30a and 630b hold the book carrier 610.

The book carrier 610 holding the book 26 is moved along the guide rails 602a and 602b.
Then, the gate opening / closing cylinder 632 is driven and the gate plate 636 is moved down, so that the book 26 can be taken out. Next, the book unloader 620 drives the displacement cylinder 645 to lower the book scraping member 646 to allow the book scraping member 646 to enter from between the book holding plates 630a and 630b (see FIG. 68), and then self-propelled. Part 644
Is driven to move toward the booklet transport section 710 along the guide rails 642a and 642b. As a result, the book 26 is scraped out of the book transport cart 610 and placed on the support plate 716 (see FIG. 28) constituting the book transport unit 710 (see FIG. 6).
9).

FIG. 70 shows a process of transporting the book 26 in the book transport unit 710 of the package manufacturing apparatus 700.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

The book unloader 620 transfers the book 26 to the book transport unit 710.
When moved in the downstream direction, the hole 726 of the support plate 716 is moved.
The tip of the book 26 abuts on a positioning plate 728 projecting upward from the sheet 26, and the book 26 is positioned (see FIG. 70).
In this case, the chain belt 704a of the booklet transport unit 710,
704b is in a stopped state. Next, at the same time as the chain belts 704a and 704b start driving,
The positioning plate drive cylinder 734 is driven, and the positioning plate 728 is retracted below the support plate 716 (see FIG. 71).

The chain belts 704a and 704b are driven, and the roller 744a of the movable pawl 738
When rolling starts on a, the movable claw 738 projects upward (see FIGS. 29 and 30). The speed of the chain belts 704a, 704b gradually increases and reaches a slow speed v1 and then temporarily becomes constant.
At time t1 during which the speed is v1, the movable pawl 73 connected to the chain belts 704a, 704b
8 comes into contact with the rear end of the book 26, and the conveyance of the book 26 is started (see FIG. 72). In this case, the book 26 has a slow speed v
Since the movable claw 738 abuts at 1, there is no possibility that the film F stacked on the protective cover 12 projects in the transport direction. The solid line in FIG. 75 indicates the moving speed of the chain belts 704a and 704b, and the dashed line indicates the transport speed of the book 26.

After the conveyance of the book 26 by the movable pawl 738 is started, the speed of the chain belts 704a and 704b is increased, and reaches a constant speed after reaching a speed v2 higher than the speed v1. Since the film F stored in the book 26 has a small acceleration, it does not jump out of the book 26 even when the speed increases.

Next, the chain belts 704a, 704
The movable claw 738 carrying the book 26 retreats downward in a state where the movement of b is decelerated to a low speed v1. That is, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, a guide plate 740a in which a notch 742 is formed in a predetermined range is provided on the lower surface of the chain belts 704a and 704b. When the roller 744a of the movable claw 738 reaches the notch 742 by being transported by the distance L1, the roller 744a comes off the guide plate 740a and the movable claw 738 retreats downward. As a result, Book 26
Is temporarily stopped at time t2 (see FIG. 73).

On the other hand, the fixed claws 736 are provided with rollers 7 on both sides.
44a and 744b, the guide plate 740a
Even after passing through the notch portion 742 of FIG. In this case, the chain belts 704a, 704
b continues to move, and at time t3, the fixed claw 7
When the book 36 contacts the rear end of the book 26, the book 26 is transported again by the distance L2 at the slow speed v1 (see FIGS. 29 and 74), and at time t4, the chain belt 704 is moved.
The transport of the book 26 is stopped together with the stop of the steps a and 704b. Also in this case, the fixed claw 736 has a slow speed v1.
Therefore, the film F does not jump out.

Here, the book 26 has a fixed claw 7 at its rear end.
In a state in which the book 36 is in contact with the book 26, as shown in FIG. 29, the book is temporarily stopped at a position where it is transported by a fixed distance (L1 + L2) from a position where the first book 26 is inserted by the book unloader 620. Therefore, when the chain belts 704a and 704b are driven again, the positioning plate 728 retracts downward,
The fixed claw 73 is moved from the fixed position at a speed v1 or lower at a low speed.
After the sheet F is transported by the distance L3, the stopping operation is repeated, and the book 26 is supplied to the next book storage unit 720 without the film F jumping out. Note that this distance L3
Is set corresponding to the length of the light shielding bag 28. The transport speed and stop position of the book 26 are determined by the movable pawl 738.
Is determined by the fixed claw 736 disposed behind the book 26, the book 26 can be efficiently transported without reducing the transport speed of the book 26 and without increasing the cycle time.

On the other hand, the transport belt 7
48a to 748c are the chain belts 7 of the book transport unit 710.
The book 26 is stored in the light-blocking bag 28 supplied from the upper part, being driven in synchronization with the sheets 04a and 704b. That is, as shown in FIG.
The sheet is conveyed while being sandwiched between the rubber belt 48a and the rubber belt 750, and is gradually stored in the light-blocking bag 28 supplied from above as shown in FIG. In this case, a mating surface sealer 756 is disposed below the conveyor belt 748a, and the light-shielding bag 28 that is superimposed on the lower surface is heated and welded. Further, the front end of the light shielding bag 28 is cut by the front fillet cutting sealer 758 while leaving the front fillet portion 30, and the vicinity of the front end of the book 26 is heated and welded.

Here, an air bleeding pipe 752 is inserted between the book 26 and the conveyor belt 748a. During the conveyance of the book 26, a light-shielding bag in which the mating surface of the leading end and the lower surface is heat-welded. The air in 28 is the opening 754
Is sucked from. In this case, at the beginning of the air suction (see FIG. 76), as shown in FIG. 78, the two valves A and B connected to the air release pipe 752 are simultaneously turned on to perform the high-speed air release. . Next, the book 26 is conveyed by a predetermined amount (see FIG. 77), and when the conveying speed becomes the low speed v1, only the valve B is turned off to bleed air at a low speed.
By performing the air bleeding in this way, the light shielding bag 2
8, the film F is properly adhered to the book 26, and the film F is fixed, so that it is possible to avoid the occurrence of troubles such as collapse of the load during transportation of the finally obtained film package W. In addition, since it is possible to avoid excessive air bleeding, it is possible to prevent the displacement of the sealing position in the subsequent stage due to the contraction of the light shielding bag 28.

The book 26 and the light-shielding bag 28 from which air has been released are provided with a rear fillet sealer 760 at the front end of the book 26.
