  The correction value calculation unit 123 includes a first content correction table, a second content correction table, a third content correction table, a fourth content correction table, and a first envelope stored in the table storage unit 121. Referring to the correction table for the envelope and the correction table for the second envelope, the sheet thickness, the number, the size, the shift length of the content sheet P1, and the sheet thickness of the envelope sheet P2, which are input to the sealed sealing controller 119, are perforated. Based on the presence / absence of the content, a correction value of the content B sending timing by the content sending unit 105 is calculated. Here, the calculation formula used for calculating the correction value of the transmission timing has been experimentally acquired in advance.

  The transmission timing determination unit 125 determines the transmission timing based on the correction value of the transmission timing calculated by the correction value calculation unit 123. Here, the transmission timing is determined, for example, by adding or multiplying a transmission timing correction value to a reference transmission timing obtained experimentally in advance.

  The sending control unit 127 uses the detection signal input from the envelope paper sensor 97 as a trigger (reference), and sends the contents B to the envelope forming unit 85 side in accordance with the sending timing determined by the sending timing determining unit 125. The delivery motor 109 of the content delivery unit 105 is controlled.

  When the image data read by the image reading unit 46 has the set image N, the switching control unit 131 sends the transported object in the forward direction J of the switching unit. The switching direction of the switching unit 52 is controlled so as to be fed to 45F.

  Subsequently, the operation of the encapsulating and sealing system 1 will be described including the operation and effects of the present embodiment. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the enclosing / sealing system 1 of the present embodiment, respectively.

  For each envelope M to be produced, the sheet thickness, number, size, setting image N, shift length W, and envelope thickness of the envelope sheet P2 as information about the envelope E, as information about the contents B, The presence or absence of perforations is input to the image forming controller 37 by an input operation on the PC screen 40 (using a personal computer application) (steps S1 to S3 in FIG. 9). With respect to the setting image N, for example, a plurality of selectable images are displayed on the PC screen 40, and the user selects one of them. Instead of the selection method, a method in which a user inputs a pattern diagram can be used. It is also possible to input from the operation panel 39 instead of the PC screen 40.

  When the production of the envelope M is actually started after the completion of step S3 (step S4 in FIG. 9), information (information data) on the contents B and information (information data) on the envelope E corresponding to the envelope M to be produced are obtained. It is transmitted (input) from the image forming controller 37 to the enclosing / sealing controller 119 (steps S5 and S6 in FIG. 9). When the user inputs a pattern and the encapsulating controller 119 combines the image data of the setting image N, the combined image of the setting image N is also transmitted here.

  After Steps S5 and S6, the correction value calculation unit 123 (the CPU of the enclosing seal controller 119) uses the first content correction table, the second content correction table, the third content correction table, and the fourth content correction table. While referring to the correction table, the first envelope correction table, and the second envelope correction table, information (information data) on the input contents B and information on the envelope E such as the paper thickness of the envelope paper P2 (information data) ) To calculate the transmission timing correction value and the shift timing (step S7 in FIG. 9). Further, the sending timing determination unit 125 (CPU of the enclosing seal controller 119) determines the sending timing based on the correction value of the sending timing, and the CPU of the enclosing seal controller 119 determines the shift length W and the content sheet conveyance path. The shift timing is determined based on the transport speed of 45 (step S8 in FIG. 9). As a result, the delivery timing of the content B by the content delivery unit 105 is set to an appropriate delivery timing that takes into account the situation regarding the content B and the envelope E, and the shifting timing of each printed matter is shifted to take into account the length and the conveyance speed. Can be set to an appropriate shift timing.

  After the completion of step S8, a plurality of contents sheets P1 are sequentially fed from the contents sheet feeding section 15 to the printing section 9 side (printing conveyance path 13 side) via the sheet feeding conveyance path 21. Then, while the sequentially supplied content sheets P1 are transported along the print transport path 13, the printing unit 9 sequentially prints on a plurality of content sheets P1 based on the content image data (in FIG. 9). Step S9). At the time of printing, marks G (which are constituent parts of the setting image N. For example, G1, G2, and G3 shown in FIG. 3) corresponding to each content sheet that is a constituent part of the setting image N are also printed. Here, the content sheet P1 is circulated and conveyed via the switchback conveyance path 33, whereby the printing unit 9 can perform double-sided printing on a plurality of content sheets P1.

  After the completion of step S9, a plurality of printed content sheets P1 are sequentially sent out to the introduction conveyance path 43 side (enclosed sealing device 5 side) via the communication conveyance path 35. The plurality of content sheets P <b> 1 are transported along the introduction transport path 43 and the content sheet transport path 45, and sequentially sent out to the delivery interval adjusting device 48. Then, each printed matter is sequentially sent out from the sending interval adjusting device 48 at the set shifting timing and nipped by the feeding roller 50. As a result, the printed products that are overlapped and nipped are arranged so that the shift length W between the adjacent upper and lower printed products becomes the set length (step S10 in FIG. 9).

  After step S10 is completed, the image reading unit 46 reads an image of the predetermined area A of the content B nipped by the feed roller 50 (clamped state) (step S11 in FIG. 9).

  The image data read by the image reading unit 46 is sent to the enclosing / sealing controller 119, and it is determined whether or not the setting image N is formed in this image data (step S12 in FIG. 9).

  When it is determined that the setting image N is not formed, that is, when the setting image N is not detected, it is determined that the combination of the contents B is not correct, and the contents B are fed to the erroneous contents paper conveyance path 45F. In this way, the switching control unit 131 controls the switching unit 52 (step S13 in FIG. 9). And after completion | finish of step S13, it goes to step S26, and when there exists the sealed letter M of the next production object, it returns to step S4 and performs the process after step S4.

  When it is determined that the setting image N is formed, that is, when the setting image N is detected, the switching control unit 131 controls the switching unit 52 so that the content B is conveyed as it is on the content paper conveyance path 45. Control. Then, the content sheet P1 is introduced from the content sheet conveyance path 45 by the cooperation of the main folding roller 57 and the introduction roller 59 in the content forming unit 55, and the content forming unit 55 bends the content sheet P1. (Step S14 in FIG. 9).

  Specifically, the content paper P1 is folded from the folding line P1a by the cooperation of the main folding roller 57 and the intermediate roller 65 in a state where the vicinity of the folding line P1a of the content paper P1 is slackened. Subsequently, the content paper P1 is folded from the folding line P1b by the cooperation of the main folding roller 57 and the derivation roller 71 in a state where the vicinity of the folding line P1b of the content paper P1 is slackened, toward the content paper conveyance path 45 side. To derive. As a result, the content B can be formed from the aligned content sheets (a plurality of printed content sheets) P1 and sent out from the content forming section 55 side (step S15 in FIG. 10).

  After the completion of step S15, the content B is conveyed along the content paper conveyance path 45, and enters between the rotating delivery roller pair 107. Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the content sensor 111 detects that the content B has approached the envelope forming unit 85 (step S16 in FIG. 10), in other words, from the content sensor 111. When the detection signal is input to the enclosed sealing controller 119, the delivery control unit 127 (the CPU of the enclosed sealing controller 119) stops driving the delivery motor 109. Thereby, the content B can be made to stand by at the entrance side of the envelope formation part 85 (step S17 in FIG. 10).

  After step S17 is completed, the envelope paper feed unit 23 sequentially feeds the envelope paper P2 to the printing unit 9 side (print conveyance path 13 side) via the paper feed conveyance path 29. Then, while the envelope paper P2 is conveyed along the print conveyance path 13, the printing unit 9 performs printing on the envelope paper P2 based on the envelope image data (step S18 in FIG. 10). Here, double-sided printing can be performed on the envelope paper P2 by the printing unit 9 by circulating and transporting the envelope paper P2 via the switchback transport path 33.

  After step S18 is completed, the printed envelope paper P2 is sent out to the introduction conveyance path 43 side (enclosed sealing device 5 side) via the communication conveyance path 35. Next, the envelope paper P2 is conveyed along the introduction conveyance path 43 and the envelope paper conveyance path 47 to the front folding portion 73 side. Then, the envelope paper P2 is introduced from the envelope paper conveyance path 47 by the cooperation of the main folding roller 75 and the introduction roller 77 in the front folding portion 73, and the front folding portion 73 performs the front folding on the envelope paper P2 (step in FIG. 10). S19). Specifically, the envelope paper P2 is led out to the envelope paper conveyance path 47 side while being folded from the folding line P2a by the cooperation of the main folding roller 75 and the lead-out roller 83 in a state where the vicinity of the folding line P2a of the envelope paper P2 is slackened. To do.

  After step S19, the envelope sheet P2 is conveyed along the envelope sheet conveyance path 47 to the envelope forming unit 85 side. 6B, the envelope paper P2 is introduced from the envelope paper conveyance path 47 by the cooperation of the main folding roller 87 and the introduction roller 89 in the envelope forming portion 85, and the envelope forming portion is detected by the envelope paper sensor 97. 85 is detected (step S20 in FIG. 10), and the envelope forming unit 85 folds the envelope paper P2 (step S21 in FIG. 10).

  Specifically, the envelope paper P2 is folded from the folding line P2b by the cooperation of the main folding roller 87 and the intermediate roller 95 in a state where the vicinity of the folding line P2b of the envelope paper P2 is slackened. On the other hand, by controlling the sending motor 109 by the sending control unit 127 (the CPU of the sealing / sealing controller 119), as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the detection signal input from the envelope paper sensor 97 is used as a trigger. Then, the content B is sent to the envelope forming unit 85 side in accordance with the sending timing determined by the sending timing determining unit 125 (the CPU of the enclosing seal controller 119) (step S22 in FIG. 10). Subsequently, the envelope paper P2 is led out to the content paper transport path 45 side while being folded from the folding line P2c by the cooperation of the main folding roller 87 and the derivation roller 103 with the vicinity of the folding line P2c of the envelope paper P2 being slackened. . As a result, the envelope E can be formed from the envelope paper P2 in a state in which the contents B are enclosed, and sent to the envelope conveyance path 49 side (step S23 in FIG. 10).

  During the folding of the envelope paper P2, moisture is attached to the water paste previously applied to the envelope paper P2.

  After step S23, the envelope E is conveyed along the envelope conveyance path 49 to the sealing portion 113 side. Then, the envelope E is sandwiched and pressed by the pair of sealing rollers 115 in the sealing portion 113, so that the envelope E is sealed with the contents B sealed (step S24 in FIG. 10). Thereby, the production of the sealed letter M is completed, and the sealed letter M can be discharged to the sealed letter discharge unit 117 via the envelope conveyance path 49 (step S25 in FIG. 10).

  After the completion of step S25, when there is a next sealed letter M to be produced (step S26 in FIG. 10), the process returns to step S4, and the processes after step S4 are executed.

  Here, the operation of the enclosing / sealing system 1 is not limited to the order of the steps described above, and for example, an appropriate change such as executing step S18 before step S10 or step S9 may be performed. .

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the set image N is formed in the predetermined area A when a plurality of types of printed materials P1 are arranged with being shifted in the transport direction with the set shift length W. A mark G that is a part of the setting image N (for example, G1, G2, G3 when there are three types of prints P1) is printed by the printing unit 9 on each of the multiple types of prints P1. Then, each of the plurality of types of printed matter P1 is shifted and arranged in the transport direction with the shift length W, and the image of the predetermined area A is read to determine the alignment. That is, if the setting image N is detected, it is determined that the combination of the plurality of types of printed matter P1 is correct, and the folding is performed for sealing. If the setting image N is not detected, the combination is determined to be incorrect. The seed print P1 is discharged from the erroneous content discharge port 54.

  Therefore, the sealed sealing system 1 that can correctly detect whether or not the combination of the contents B to be sealed is the set combination is realized.

  In the present embodiment, the image reading unit 46 of the enclosing / sealing system 1 reads the image and the encapsulating / sealing controller 119 determines the presence / absence of the set image N, so that it can be easily detected in a short time, and the apparatus configuration Becomes easier. Then, since the set image N is not formed, it is discharged from a discharge port different from the sealed envelope, that is, the erroneous content discharge port 54. Therefore, when the plurality of types of printed materials P1 are not combined as set, The envelopes that are sealed and discharged are automatically separated and discharged.

  In addition, since the setting image N is detected before bending, what is discharged from the erroneous content discharge port 54 is not bent. Accordingly, a printed material that is not a combination as set is not formed, and the printed material discharged from the erroneous content discharge port 54 can be reused. Note that, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the image reading unit 46 may be arranged to read an image of the predetermined area A with respect to the content B after being bent.

  Further, the setting image N may be a delivery address name. As a result, even if the content B is not the set combination, even if it is shipped, the delivery address name is not correct, so it does not reach anyone, and the shipper's address name is described Come back to.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the delivery interval adjusting device 48 feeds the printed materials constituting the multiple types of printed materials P1 while shifting them by a predetermined time toward the nip position of the feed roller 50, thereby providing the multiple types of printed materials. Since P1 can be niped and fed in a fixed direction by a set length, the device configuration of the enclosed sealing system 1 is simple. It should be noted that a system that does not include the delivery interval adjusting device 48 can be provided by employing a system that calculates the correction value of the delivery timing in consideration of the shift length W. When the delivery interval adjusting device 48 is provided, it is easy to calculate the correction value of the delivery timing, and when the delivery interval adjusting device 48 is not provided, the respective effects of reducing the number of parts are obtained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the envelope M is not limited to the wrapping mail, but as the envelope paper P2 so that the user can visually recognize the setting image N formed by each mark G of each printed matter from the outside of the envelope E. An envelope paper on which the transparent sheet S is arranged may be used so that the transparent sheet S is arranged in a region where the setting image N is formed. Thereby, it can be confirmed visually that the combination of the contents B is correct. It is also possible to make a notch without providing the transparent sheet S. In the case of making the cutout, an envelope paper in which a cutout is formed in advance may be used as the envelope paper P2, or a cutout may be formed in the normal envelope paper P2 by the sealed sealing device 5.

  If the combination of the contents B can be confirmed visually as described above, the contents M can be visually observed by checking the discharged sealed letter M without providing the image reading unit 46, the switching unit 52, and the like. It is also possible to determine whether the combination of B is correct or not, and the apparatus configuration can be greatly simplified.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is an explanatory view for explaining that the sealed letter M is formed by the sealed sealing system of the present embodiment. 12 and 13 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the encapsulating and sealing system according to the present embodiment, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, a part of the setting image N is also formed on the cover of the envelope E, and the presence or absence of the setting image N is determined to determine whether the combination is correct or incorrect. The printing unit 9 prints a mark G (for example, G1, G2, G3) according to the type of the printed material in the printed material setting area, and when printing on the envelope paper P2, the setting region of the envelope E (prints the mark). The mark H corresponding to the envelope E is printed in the area to be printed. The set image N is formed in the predetermined area A by the marks G of the plurality of types of printed matter P1 as the contents and the mark H of the envelope E. Here, the transparent sheet S is arranged in the predetermined area A of the envelope E so that the marks G of the contents can be seen from the outside of the envelope.

  More specifically, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, as in the first embodiment, information about the contents (paper thickness, number of sheets, size, setting image N, shift length W, and envelope of the contents sheet P1) The sheet thickness of the envelope sheet P2, the presence / absence of perforations, etc. as information relating to E) is input to the image forming controller 37 by an input operation on the PC screen 40 (which can also be input from the operation panel 39) (steps S101 to S103). . Then, production of the sealed letter M is started, and information about the envelope is transmitted to the sealed sealing controller (steps S104 to S106). Then, a correction value and a shift timing of the sending timing are calculated, printing is performed on each content sheet, and each content sheet is arranged with a set length shifted (steps S107 to S110).

  Thereafter, in the present embodiment, the content paper is folded to form the content (steps S111 to S112), and further, as in the first embodiment, printing on the envelope paper, forward folding of the envelope paper, detection by a sensor, Bending is performed (steps S113 to 117), the contents are sent out in accordance with the delivery timing, an envelope is formed and sealed (steps S118 to 120).

  Then, the image reading unit 46 reads an image in the predetermined area A (S step S121). The image data read by the image reading unit 46 is sent to the enclosing / sealing controller 119, and it is determined whether or not the setting image N is formed on the read image (step S122).

  When it is determined that the setting image N is not formed, that is, when the setting image N is not detected, the combination of the contents B (plural types of printed materials) or the combination of the contents and the envelope E is not correct. The conveyance path is switched and the sealed letter M is discharged from the discharge outlet for disposal (step S123). After the completion of step S123, the process goes to step S125, and if there is a sealed letter M to be produced next, the process returns to step S104, and the processes after step S4 are executed.

  When it is determined that the set image N is formed, that is, when the set image N is detected, the sealed letter M is conveyed as it is, and the sealed letter M is discharged from the discharge port when the correct combination is determined ( Step S124). Then, when there is a next sealed letter M to be produced (step S125), the process returns to step S104, and the processes after step S104 are executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of printed matter P1 constituting the content is a set of printed matter and a plurality of types of printed matter P1 and an envelope E are a set of sealed letters M, A setting image N is formed by each exposed mark. In other cases, that is, when the combination is wrong, the setting image N is not formed. Therefore, it is possible to provide an encapsulating sealing system that further correctly determines the correctness of the combination including the combination with the envelope E.

  In the present embodiment, each mark G (for example, G, G2, G3) of the plurality of types of printed matter P1 is visible by the transparent sheet S, so that the setting image N formed by each mark G and mark H is the envelope E. The user can see from the outside. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the combination of the contents B is correct by visually observing the discharged sealed letter M without providing the image reading unit 46, the switching unit 52, and the like. Can be greatly simplified.
