Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an apparatus for placing papers such as a flyer for a store on a stack of bound bookbinding books.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, bound books are stacked in units of several or several tens of books, a leaflet for a store is placed thereon, and the whole is bundled, and then sent out to each store. Conventionally, the shop leaflets are manually placed one by one on a book stack formed by stacking the present invention before binding.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned method has a problem that an operator is required for a flyer placing operation.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flyer placing apparatus capable of automatically placing papers such as flyers (hereinafter referred to as flyers) on the stack. I do.

[Means for solving the problem]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a flyer platform on which leaflets are stacked and held, and a tip of a lowermost leaflet of the flyers placed on the flyer platform. A soccer, a gripper drum for gripping a tip of a flyer drawn by the soccer, a gripper drum for gripping the flyer and pulling it out of a flyer mounting table, and a tray for horizontally receiving the flyer drawn by the gripper drum A transport conveyor for continuously transporting the stack so as to pass below the tray, and a flyer provided independently of the transport conveyor, and the leaflets placed on the tray are placed on the stack on the transport conveyor. Discharging means for sending out the stack in the same direction as the transport direction of the stack, detecting means for detecting passage of the stack on the transport conveyor, The soccer, the gripper drum, and the discharging means in response to a signal from the detecting means, so that when the stack on the conveying conveyor passes under the receiving tray, flyers discharged from the receiving tray are placed thereon. And a control means for controlling the operation timing of the flyer or the like.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a flyer placing device according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the front, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, 1 is a transport conveyor, and 2 is a book placed and transported thereon. It is a stack. A bookbinding apparatus and a stacker (both not shown) for stacking an appropriate number of bound books are provided upstream of the conveyor 1, and the book stack 2 is bound downstream of the conveyor 1. A binding machine (not shown) is provided. Reference numeral 3 denotes a leaflet mounting table on which leaflets 4 such as shop leaflets are stacked and held. The flyer platform 4 has a structure in which the flyers 4 can be pulled out from the lower end of the front surface.
A soccer 5 that sucks and pulls out the tip of the lowermost flyer 4 is provided to swing. 6 is soccer 5
A gripper 7 is provided for gripping the tip of the flyer 4 pulled out by the above. A gripper drum 8 for gripping the flyer and pulling it out of the flyer platform 3 is a motor for rotating the gripper drum 6 in the direction of arrow A. The gripper 7 is configured to be automatically opened and closed by a cam mechanism according to the rotation of the gripper drum 6, and is closed at a position shown in FIG. The soccer 5 swings in conjunction with the rotation of the gripper drum 6, and the tip of the flyer 4 pulled out from the flyer mounting table 3 can be gripped by the gripper 7 of the gripper drum 6. The soccer 5, the gripper drum 6 and the like can be the same as those used in a well-known collating device for a printed book, so that the detailed description is omitted.

9 is a flyer 4 drawn out by the gripper drum 6
And is disposed above the conveyor 1 in the same direction as the conveyor 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes a discharge conveyor which constitutes discharge means for sending out the flyers 4 placed on the receiving tray 9 onto the conveyor 1 at the same speed in the same direction as the transport direction of the stack 2. It has a pushing claw 10a. The discharge conveyor 10 is also configured to work with the gripper drum 6. Note that the flyer mounting table 3, the soccer 5, the gripper drum 6, the tray 9, the discharge conveyor 10, etc. are all held on a vertically movable frame 12, and the height of the stack 2 sent by the transfer conveyor. The height can be adjusted accordingly. 13 is
It is a detecting means such as a photoelectric tube for detecting passage of the stack 2 on the conveyor 1. The detection signal from the detection means 13 is input to a control device (not shown), and is used for controlling the start-up timing of the motor 8 that operates the soccer 5, the gripper drum 6, the discharge conveyor 10, and the like.

Next, the operation of the flyer placing device having the above configuration will be described. Books are stacked by a predetermined number by a stacker (not shown) and supplied to the conveyor 1 as book stacks 2. The conveyor 1 continuously conveys the supplied stack 2 and passes it through a flyer placing device. The stack 2 is conveyed by the conveyor 1 in the direction of the arrow B. When the stack 13 crosses the detection unit 13, the detection unit 13 detects it and the motor 8 starts operating at an appropriate timing in accordance with the detection signal. Then, the soccer 5 first sucks the flyer 4 at the bottom of the flyer platform 3 and pulls it downward. At this time, the gripper drum 6 is rotating,
In addition, the gripper 7 has moved to a position where the tip of the flyer 4 pulled out by the soccer 5 can be gripped, and immediately after the flyer is pulled out by the soccer 5, the gripper 7 closes. For this reason, the gripper 7 uses the leaflets 4
The leaflets 4 are pulled out from the leaflet placing table 3 by gripping the tip of the leaflet 4 and rotating the gripper drum 6. When the gripper 7 moves to the lower part of the gripper drum 6, the gripper 7 opens to release the flyer 4, and the flyer 4
Is placed on the tray 9. Next, the claw of the discharge conveyor 10
10a pushes the rear end of the flyer 4 on the tray 9 to
To be discharged from At this time, the stack 2 is placed under the tray 9
Has passed, and the flyers 4 are placed on the book stack 2 passing under the tray 9. This completes one flyer supply operation.

The stack 2 on the conveyor 1 is sent to a downstream binding machine with the flyers 4 placed thereon, bound together with the flyers, and sent out to a store.

In the above embodiment, the case where the shop flyer is placed on the stack is described. However, the flyer placing apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the flyer, and can be used for placing other papers on the stack. Needless to say.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the tip of the lowermost leaflet among the leaflets stacked and placed on the leaflet mounting table is pulled out with soccer, and the gripper of the gripper drum rotating below the tip is pulled out. The leaflets are pulled out of the leaflet mounting table by the rotation of the gripper drum, temporarily held in a tray below the tray, and then moved in the same direction as the main stack continuously transported below the tray by the transport conveyor. The leaflets are discharged at the same time, and the discharge timing of the flyers at that time is determined based on the detection signal of the stack being transported on the transport conveyor. There is an effect that flyers can be automatically supplied to a predetermined position on the book stack.
