Description

  The present invention is provided in a sheet-like material discharge device provided in a sheet-like material handling device for handling a sheet-like material, such as a sheet-fed printing machine, a coating device, or an inspection device for inspecting the print quality of a sheet-like material. The present invention relates to a sheet-like material side-by-side device that aligns the left and right directions of a sheet-like material that is dropped and stacked on an object discharging device.

  In general, in this type of sheet-like material discharge device, a suction wheel is used as a suction speed reducing means for reducing the sheet-like material conveying speed by sucking the sheet-like material with air and aligning the top-and-bottom direction of the sheet-like material. Is provided. In addition, a paper pad is provided as a top-and-bottom direction aligning means for abutting the tip of the dropped sheet-like object, and between the paper pad and the suction wheel, the sheet-like object is finely moved in the width direction, and A pair of left and right side-by-side devices are provided for aligning the left and right directions of the sheet material that can be moved and adjusted according to the size of the sheet material in the left and right direction. If this horizontal alignment device is fixed in the top-to-bottom direction of the sheet-like object, the suction wheel will move sideways when the suction wheel is moved to the side-alignment device side in order to correspond to a sheet-like object having a small size in the vertical direction. Since it may collide with the shifting device, the lateral shifting device is also supported so as to be movable and adjustable in the vertical direction of the sheet-like object.

As a first example of a conventional sheet-like material side-by-side device, the suction wheel moves the side-by-side device in the vertical direction of the sheet-like material by an air cylinder in response to the movement of the sheet-like material in the vertical direction. There is. Further, as a second example, a pinion that rotates using a motor as a drive source, and a rack that is meshed with the pinion and attached to a laterally aligning device are mounted, and the laterally aligning device is fixed to the top of the sheet by driving the motor. Some move in the direction. Further, as a third example, the lateral alignment device is urged in a direction away from the suction wheel, and the horizontal alignment device and the suction wheel are connected by a link, and the lateral movement device is seated in conjunction with the movement of the suction vehicle. There are things that move in the direction of the top and bottom of the object. Further, as a fourth example, the lateral aligning device is urged in a direction away from the suction wheel, and the lateral aligning device and the suction wheel are connected by a wire, and the lateral aligning device is seated in conjunction with the movement of the suction wheel. Some are moved in the vertical direction of the object (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, a limit switch for detecting the other is provided in either the suction speed reducer or the side-by-side device, and the movement of the suction speed-reduction device is stopped by operating the limit switch before the suction speed-down device contacts the side-by-side device. There are some (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-33862 (paragraphs “0009” to “0019”, FIGS. 2 to 7) Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-33860 (paragraphs “0010” and “0014”, FIG. 2)

  In the first and second examples of the above-mentioned conventional sheet-like material side-by-side devices, an air cylinder or a motor for driving the side-by-side device or a component for mounting these components is required. As a result, the manufacturing cost increases. In addition, when an abnormality occurs in the control unit that controls the air cylinder and the motor, the side-by-side device does not move, and the suction wheel may collide with the side-by-side device. Further, in the third example, since a rail for guiding the link and the side-by-side device is required, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the manufacturing cost increases. If the parallelism between the rail and the reciprocating direction of the lateral alignment device is slightly shifted, the sheet alignment of the lateral alignment device will not move smoothly in the left-right direction, and paper alignment will not be performed. There was also the problem of getting worse. Further, in the fourth example, since the movement of the sheet-like material of the horizontal aligning device in the left-right direction also induces the movement of the horizontal aligning device in the vertical direction via the wire, there is a problem that the paper alignment becomes poor. there were. In addition, since the position of the horizontal alignment device in the vertical direction is limited by the wire, the vertical alignment position of the horizontal alignment device is determined by the vertical position of the suction wheel and the paper width direction position of the horizontal alignment device. However, there is also a problem that the side-by-side device cannot be positioned at the center in the vertical direction of the sheet-like material. Further, in the latter example of the above-mentioned conventional sheet-like side-by-side devices, not only a limit switch for preventing interference between the side-by-side device and the suction speed reducing means is required, but also this limit switch. Thus, there is a problem that after the suction speed reduction means is temporarily stopped by the operation, an operation of moving the side-by-side device to a position where it does not interfere and manual adjustment by the operator to move the suction speed reduction means to a predetermined position again are required.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost by reducing the number of parts with a simple structure, and a good sheet-like material. The present invention is to provide a sheet-like material side-by-side device that can be aligned.

  In order to achieve this object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the sheet-like object that is decelerated by being sucked by the suction-decelerating means and is loaded on the loading means vibrates in the horizontal direction of the sheet-like object.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the lateral movement member restricts movement of the lateral movement member in a direction toward the suction speed reduction means, and the contact surface and the roller member There is provided a restricting means that enables the reciprocating movement of the laterally-feeding member in a state in which they are separated from each other.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the abutting surface is provided in the suction speed reducing means, and the roller member is supported by the side-by-side member.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the contact surface is provided on a guide plate that guides a sheet-like object that is provided on the suction speed reducing unit and falls on the stacking unit.

  According to the first aspect of the invention, the number of parts is reduced and the structure is simplified, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced. In addition, since the sheet-like material of the lateral aligning device is moved in the left-right direction by the contact surface extending in the left-right direction of the sheet-like material and the roller that abuts only on the contact surface, the movement of the lateral aligning device is performed smoothly. Therefore, a good sheet alignment can be performed. Further, since the side-by-side device moves in the vertical direction by the movement of the suction decelerating means, the adjustment work accompanying the size change of the sheet-like object is facilitated.

  According to the second aspect of the invention, when the size of the sheet-like material in the vertical direction is relatively large, the contact surface is not in contact with the contact surface, so that wear generated on the contact surface and the rollers is reduced. Therefore, durability can be improved.

  According to the third and fifth aspects of the present invention, the number of parts can be further reduced by providing the guide surface of the guide plate that guides the sheet-like material with the function as the contact surface, thereby reducing the number of parts. Can be further reduced.

A pair of side-by-side devices 15 are provided on the left and right sides of the paper discharge device 1 (one side-by-side device 15 is not shown). Reference numeral 20 denotes a swing piece whose base end portion is swingably supported by each of the fixed side feed member 16 and the movable side feed member 19 with the small shaft 20a as a swing center. This rocking piece 20 makes it possible to align the paper between the paper stack 5 located at the upper limit and the fixed and moving laterally aligned members 16 and 19.

The bottom plate 24 is joined to the upper plate 21 and the support plate 25 is formed by bending the end of the bottom plate 24 at a right angle to the upper plate 21 side.

  The upper plate 21 is provided with a pair of screw holes 21a, 21a, and a rack member, which will be described later, extends in the direction of the arrow CD as shown in FIG. 3 by a bolt 27 screwed into the screw hole 21a. An upper plate 21 is attached to 50. As shown in FIG. 7, the first side plate 22 is provided with a pair of screw holes 22a, 22a, and the fixed laterally-adjusting member 16 described above with the bolts 28 screwed into the screw holes 22a is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the first side plate 22 is attached so as to be orthogonal to the rack member 50.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the bottom plate 24 is provided with two pairs of screw holes 24a, and the bolts 29 and 29 screwed into the screw holes 24a allow the guide bar 18 to be moved as shown in FIGS. Guide blocks 30A and 30B formed in a U-shaped cross section that are slidably supported are attached so as to face each other. That is, the guide bar 18 is inserted between the recesses of the guide blocks 30A and 30B and the bottom plate 24, and is supported so as to be slidable in the direction of arrows AB in FIG. The guide bar 18 and the guide blocks 30A and 30B form guide means. A bolt 31 as a restricting means is screwed into a screw hole provided at an end of the guide bar 18 in the arrow B direction, and the bolt 31 engages with one guide block 30A. 18 is restricted from moving in the direction of arrow A. The restricting means 31 only needs to be provided with a protrusion on the guide bar 18, and this protrusion may be the head of the bolt 31 or a pin, or may be integrally formed with the guide bar 18.

  Reference numerals 32 and 32 denote braking means, which are composed of a screw 32 a screwed into the screw hole so as to face the recess of the guide block 30 and a pressing piece 32 b fitted in the screw hole of the guide block 30. The pressing piece 32b is lightly pressed against the guide bar 18 by the screw 32a. As will be described later, the braking means 32 prevents the guide bar 18 from rattling in the recess of the guide block 30 when the moving laterally aligning member 19 vibrates in the direction of the arrow CD and aligns the left and right directions of the paper 6. It functions to improve the paper alignment. And since the pressing piece 32b is lightly pressed by the guide bar 18 with the screw 32a, the guide bar 18 can move in the AB direction with respect to the guide block 30. That is, the guide bar 18 is movable in the A-B direction and is rattled by the braking means 32. A ball plunger may be used as the braking means 32. A moving lateral alignment member 19 is attached to the end of the guide bar 18 in the arrow A direction via a block 33.

  In FIG. 6, reference numeral 34 denotes a spring shaft having an end in the arrow A direction attached to the block 33, and an end in the arrow B direction is inserted into an insertion hole 25 a provided in the support piece 25 of the support member 17. A compression coil spring 35 as an urging means fitted to the spring shaft 34 is elastically mounted between the support piece 25 and the block 33, and urges the moving laterally moving member 19 in the direction of arrow A. is doing. That is, the compression coil spring 35 functions to urge a roller 38 (described later) provided on the moving laterally urging member 19 to the guide surface 10 c of the guide plate 10. As described above, the movement of the guide bar 18 in the direction of the arrow A is restricted by the bolt 31 as described above, so that the support piece 25 is prevented from coming out from the insertion hole 25a.

  A support block 36 is attached to an end portion of the moving laterally aligning member 19 in the direction of arrow A, and a shaft 37 extending in the vertical direction is supported on the support block 36, and the roller 38 has the shaft 37 as a rotation center. Is supported so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction. The roller 38 faces the guide surface 10c of the vertical portion 10b of the guide plate 10 described above, and the suction speed reduction means 8 moves in the direction of the arrow B when the paper is small in the vertical direction as will be described later. The guide surface 10c contacts the roller 38. Therefore, the guide surface 10c also functions as an abutment surface, and the guide surface 10c can be changed to the guide surface 10c and 38 even if the moving lateral alignment member 19 is moved in the direction of the arrow CD depending on the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction. Is extended in the direction of the arrow CD so that the abutment is maintained.

  In FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 40 denotes a fixed block attached to the frame 2. 41 is a guide member supported so as to be movable in the direction of arrow CD with respect to the frame 2, and this guide member 41 supports the rack member 50 so as to be movable in the direction of arrow CD. A tension coil spring 43 is suspended between the pin 42 implanted in the guide member 41 and the fixed block 40, and the guide member 41 is urged in the direction of arrow C by the tensile force of the tension coil spring 43. ing. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a cam follower 45 is rotatably supported on the bracket 44 attached to the guide member 41, and this cam follower 45 is linked to the printing operation of this apparatus in the direction of arrows AB. It is in contact with the cam surface 46a of the cam member 46 that reciprocally moves. Therefore, when the printing operation of this machine is started, the guide member 41 is moved via the cam follower 45 that rolls on the cam surface 46a of the cam member 46 due to the reciprocation of the cam member 46 in the direction of the arrow AB. In order to move in the direction of arrow D against the tensile force of the tension coil spring 43, and then in the direction of arrow C due to the tension force of the tension coil spring 43, the guide member 41 slightly moves in the direction of arrow C-D. The paper alignment in the left-right direction of the paper 6 is performed by the shifting device 15. That is, the cam member 46, the cam follower 45, the guide member 41, and the tension coil spring 43 form a vibration unit that applies vibrations to the fixed and moving laterally moving members 16 and 19.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 47 denotes a motor for moving the lateral alignment device 15 in the direction of the arrow CD in accordance with the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction. The motor 47 is attached to the guide member 41 and has a pinion 48 on the output shaft. It is attached to the shaft. A rack member 50 is movably supported by the guide member 41 so as to extend in the direction of arrow CD, and a rack 51 that is engaged with the pinion 48 and extends in the direction of arrow CD is attached. . Accordingly, by driving the motor 47 in one direction, the pinion 48 rotates clockwise in FIG. 4, and the rack member 50 moves in the direction of arrow C via the rack 51 that meshes with the pinion 48. By this movement, the fixed side-by-side member 16 and the moving side-by-side member 19 correspond to paper having a small size in the left-right direction. On the other hand, by driving the motor 47 in the other direction opposite to one direction, the pinion 48 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 4, and the rack member 50 moves in the direction of arrow D via the rack 51 meshing with the pinion 48. To do. By this movement, the fixed side-by-side member 16 and the moving side-by-side member 19 correspond to paper having a large size in the left-right direction. That is, the motor 47, the pinion 48, and the rack 51 form an adjusting unit that moves the lateral alignment device 15 in the arrow CD direction according to the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction.

  Next, the operation of moving and adjusting the side-by-side device in accordance with the size of the sheet-like material in the sheet-sided side-by-side device configured as described above will be described. First, an operation of moving and adjusting the lateral alignment device in correspondence with paper having a large size in the vertical direction and a large size in the horizontal direction will be described. In this case, the motor 47 is driven in the other direction opposite to one direction based on the horizontal size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown), and the pinion 48 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Thus, the rack member 50 is moved in the direction of arrow D through the rack 51 that meshes with the pinion 48. Therefore, the fixed laterality member 16 attached to the rack member 50 via the support member 17 also moves in the direction of the arrow D, and the movable laterality member 19 supported by the fixed laterality member 16 via the guide bar 18. Since it also moves in the direction of arrow D, the lateral alignment device 15 is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction.

  At the same time, the suction speed reduction means 8 moves in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 8 (A) from the position shown in FIG. 8 (B) based on the vertical size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown). However, it is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the paper 6 in the vertical direction. At this time, the moving side-by-side member 19 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 35, and the bolt 31 is engaged with one guide block 30A. Therefore, the contact between the roller 38 and the guide surface 10c of the guide plate 10 is released. Thus, since the roller 38 and the guide surface 10c are separated from each other and are in a non-contact state, the roller 38 and the guide surface are moved when the lateral alignment device 15 reciprocates in the direction of the arrow CD for paper alignment. Since wear generated in 10c can be reduced, durability can be improved. Further, when the moving side-by-side member 19 moves in the direction of arrow A, the distance between the moving side-to-side member 19 and the fixed side-to-side member 16 becomes wide, and the side-to-side member between the two side-to-side members 19 and 16 contacts The paper alignment in the non-performing area is compensated, the side-aligning member acts as if it is elongated in the direction of arrow A, and the paper alignment is good because it corresponds to the paper whose size is increased in the direction of arrow A.

  Next, the operation of the side-by-side device that moves the paper corresponding to the paper having a large size in the vertical direction and a small size in the horizontal direction will be described. In this case, the motor 47 is driven in one direction based on the horizontal size of the paper 6 input to a control device (not shown), and the pinion 48 meshes with the pinion 48 by rotating clockwise in FIG. The rack member 50 is moved in the direction of arrow C via the rack 51. Accordingly, the fixed lateral member 16 attached to the rack member 50 via the support member 17 also moves in the direction of the arrow C, and the movable lateral member 19 supported by the fixed lateral member 16 via the guide bar 18. Also moves in the direction of arrow C, so that the side-by-side device 15 is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction. At the same time, the suction speed reducing means 8 moves in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 8A based on the vertical size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown), and the rollers 38 and the guide plate 10 are moved. The suction decelerating means 8 is positioned at a position corresponding to the vertical size of the paper 6 away from the guide surface 10c.

  Next, the operation of the side-by-side device that moves the paper corresponding to the paper having a small size in the vertical direction and a small size in the horizontal direction will be described. In this case, the motor 47 is driven in one direction based on the horizontal size of the paper 6 input to a control device (not shown), and the pinion 48 meshes with the pinion 48 by rotating clockwise in FIG. The rack member 50 is moved in the direction of arrow C via the rack 51. Accordingly, the fixed lateral member 16 attached to the rack member 50 via the support member 17 also moves in the direction of the arrow C, and the movable lateral member 19 supported by the fixed lateral member 16 via the guide bar 18. Also moves in the direction of arrow C, so that the side-by-side device 15 is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction.

  At the same time, the suction speed reducing means 8 at the position of FIG. 8A moves in the direction of arrow B based on the vertical size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown). When the suction decelerating means 8 moves for a while in the arrow B direction, the roller 38 comes into contact with the guide surface 10 c of the guide plate 10. Further, the suction decelerating means 8 moves from the initial position by a distance L in the direction of arrow B until it is positioned at a position corresponding to the vertical size of the paper 6. As a result of this movement, the guide surface 10c presses the roller 38 in the direction of arrow B, so that the moving lateral alignment member 19 resists the elastic force of the compression coil spring 35 in the direction of arrow B as shown in FIG. Move by distance l. (L> l)

  In this state, when the lateral alignment device 15 is reciprocated in the direction of the arrow CD for paper alignment, the rollers 38 in contact with the guide surface 10c of the guide plate 10 rotate. Since the fine movement is smoothly performed in the direction of the arrow CD, the paper alignment in the left-right direction of the paper 6 by the lateral alignment device 15 becomes good. In addition, since the moving lateral alignment member 19 moves in the arrow B direction, the vertical position of the moving lateral alignment member 19 is positioned corresponding to the paper whose size is reduced in the arrow B direction. Good paper alignment in the direction.

  Next, a paper side-by-side operation for paper having a small size in the vertical direction and a large size in the left-right direction will be described. In this case, the motor 47 is driven in the other direction opposite to one direction based on the horizontal size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown), and the pinion 48 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Thus, the rack member 50 is moved in the direction of arrow D through the rack 51 that meshes with the pinion 48. Therefore, the fixed laterality member 16 attached to the rack member 50 via the support member 17 also moves in the direction of the arrow D, and the movable laterality member 19 supported by the fixed laterality member 16 via the guide bar 18. Since it also moves in the direction of arrow D, the lateral alignment device 15 is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the paper 6 in the left-right direction.

  At the same time, the suction speed reduction means 8 at the position of FIG. 8A moves in the direction of arrow B based on the vertical size of the paper 6 input to the control device (not shown). When the suction decelerating means 8 moves for a while in the arrow B direction, the roller 38 comes into contact with the guide surface 10 c of the guide plate 10. Further, the suction decelerating means 8 moves from the initial position by a distance L in the direction of arrow B until it is positioned at a position corresponding to the vertical size of the paper 6. As a result of this movement, the guide surface 10c presses the roller 38 in the direction of arrow B, so that the moving lateral alignment member 19 resists the elastic force of the compression coil spring 35 in the direction of arrow B as shown in FIG. Move by distance l.

  As described above, in order to move the moving horizontal member 19 according to the vertical size of the paper 6, the guide surface 10 c of the guide plate 10, the rollers 38 provided on the movable horizontal member 19, and the rollers 38 are guided. This is performed by a compression coil spring 35 biasing the surface 10c. For this reason, driving means such as a motor and an air cylinder for moving the moving lateral alignment member 19 in the vertical direction of the paper 6 are unnecessary, and a link and a rail for guiding the moving lateral alignment member 19 are also unnecessary. Accordingly, the number of parts is reduced and the structure is simplified, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced. Further, since the guide 6c extending in the left-right direction of the paper 6 and the rollers 38 abutting on the guide surface 10 move the paper 6 in the left-right direction, the paper alignment is good because the movement is performed smoothly. become.

  Further, not only is the limit switch for preventing interference between the moving side-by-side member 19 and the suction speed reducing means 8 unnecessary, but also after the suction speed-lowering means 8 is temporarily stopped by this limit switch, the moving side-by-side side member 19 is stopped. The operation to move the position to the position where it does not interfere and the operation to move the suction speed reduction means 8 to the predetermined position are not required. In addition, since the guide surface 10c of the guide plate 10 that guides the paper 6 is also provided with a function as a contact surface for contacting the roller 38, the number of parts can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost. can do.

  In the present embodiment, the abutment surface is also used as the guide surface 10c of the guide plate 10 of the suction speed reducing means 8. However, a bracket or the like is provided on the vertical portion 10b of the guide plate 10, and a roller is provided on this bracket. 38 may be brought into contact. In addition, the roller 38 may be rotatably supported by the bracket, and a contact surface with which the roller 38 contacts may be provided on the side aligning device 15 side.
