A collation device is used for collation work on individual forms, provided that the identification marks attached to the individual forms that make up the form are to be matched when the individual forms are brought into the collation device. In the collation system having a control device for executing the following, the control device, according to the supply direction length of the individual forms constituting a continuous form as a collation target this time, each form extracted from each form supply unit When the individual forms constituting the continuous form are brought into the collating device, their identification marks are to be compared with other individual forms to be collated. The necessary correlation between the identification marks read by the respective mark reading sensors and the read timing difference is determined in advance, and the identification marks actually read by the respective mark read sensors and the read timing difference indicate the upper correlation.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a servo motor for driving the pressure roller 17, and reference numeral 19 denotes a rotary encoder linked to the output shaft of the servo motor 18.

The mark reading sensors 13A to 13D
It reads an identification mark 20 provided between A to 11D and the collating device 12 and attached to an individual form constituting each of the continuous forms 15A to 15D extracted from the form supply units 11A to 11D.

The identification mark 20 is specifically displayed as a bar code as shown in FIG. 5 or a character code such as a numeral.

In this embodiment, each form supply unit 11A-1A

The result of detection by the rotary encoder 19 provided in the above and the input result of the top and bottom size input unit 25 for inputting the supply direction length (top and bottom size H) of the individual forms constituting the continuous forms 15A to 15D to be collated this time Then, as described below, the motor control unit 26 is controlled, and thus the servo motor 18 is driven to control the collating operation by the collating device 12.

In addition, the top and bottom size input section 25 is provided for each form supply unit 11A-1.
It can be constituted by a sensor which is installed in 1D and detects the perforation interval of the continuous forms 15A to 15D, or can be constituted by a manual setting device.

However, the control device 14 is provided with each mark reading sensor 13A.
Based on the reading result of ~ 13D, each form supply unit 11A ~ 11
The collating device 12 is used to collate the individual forms on condition that the identification marks 20 attached to the individual forms constituting each of the continuous forms 15A to 15D extracted from D are to be matched. Let me run.

At this time, in the control device 14, each continuous form 15A extracted from each form supply unit 11A to 11D according to the top and bottom size H of the individual form constituting the continuous form 15A to 15D to be collated this time. Each mark reading sensor necessary for the identification marks 20 to be compared between the individual forms constituting the form 15D and the other individual forms to be matched when the individual forms are brought into the collating apparatus 12. The interrelationship between the identification mark 20 read by each of 13A to 13D and the read timing difference L is determined in advance by a function expression or a diagram as described later. Incidentally, since the drawing speed of each of the form supply units 11A to 11D is the same, the reading timing difference L may be managed by either time or distance.

As a result, the control device 14 controls each mark reading sensor 13A.
13D, the read timing difference L of the identification mark 20 by each of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D is obtained from the detection result of the rotary encoder 19, and the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D are obtained. The servo motor 18 is driven via the motor control unit 26 as described above on condition that the identification mark 20 actually read and the read timing difference L Let them work together.

FIG. 4 shows the interrelationship between the identification mark 20 read by each of the mark reading sensors A to E and the read timing difference L in a collating operation in which five continuous forms having a top and bottom size of H = 4 inches are overlapped to form a unit form. Is shown schematically,
The identification mark 20 repeats a value from “1” to “5”.

That is, based on the time when the mark reading sensor A reads the mark "1", the mark reading sensor B reads the mark "1" with a timing delay of L = 2 inches, and the mark reading sensor C reads the same at L = 0 inches. The mark “5” is read at the timing, the mark reading sensor D reads the mark “5” with a timing delay of L = 2 inches, and the mark reading sensor E reads the mark “5”.
When the mark "4" is read at the same timing of 0 inch, each form read by each of the sensors A to E is in an appropriate protruding state for collation by the collating device.

The identification marks read by the mark reading sensors A to E
The relationship between 20 and the read timing difference L is as follows:
, It can be defined in a functional expression.

When the interval between the mark reading sensors A to E is K and the vertical size is H, u = 0 for sensor A, u = 1 for sensor B, u = 2 for sensor C, and so on.
Then, n = K × u ÷ H (1) is obtained.

If n obtained as described above is an integer, then n + 1 = m, and if n contains a decimal number, Int (n) + 2 = m, and m is obtained.

By subtracting 5 from m several times, a value N of 1 to 5 is obtained.

When the sensor A reads the mark "1", the sensors B, C ...
The number of the mark to be read by each mark reading sensor is “N”, and the reading timing of the “N” by each mark reading sensor of the sensors B, C... Is the reference time when the mark “1” of the sensor A is read. Is expressed as L = H × (m−1) −K × u (2).

For example, when applying the above to the example of FIG.
Since K = 18 inches and H = 4 inches, n = 4.5, m = 6, N = 1, and L = 2 for the sensor B. Based on the time when the sensor A reads the mark “1”, the sensor It is calculated that B should read the mark N = "1" with a timing delay of L = 2 inches. This is in agreement with the schematic result of FIG.

 Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

In the above-described collating system 10, when performing collating work, the control device 14 sets each form according to the top and bottom size H of the individual forms constituting the standard forms 15A to 15D to be collated this time. When the individual forms forming each of the continuous forms 15A to 15D drawn from the supply units 11A to 11D are brought into the collating apparatus 12, their identification marks 20 are compared with other individual forms to be collated. The necessary relationship between the identification mark 20 read by each of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D and the read timing difference L is predetermined in advance.

Thus, the collating system 10 performs the collating operation as follows.

Each form supply unit 11A to 11D is a continuous form 15A
Extract ~ 15D.

Each of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D reads the identification mark 20 of an individual form constituting each of the continuous forms 15A to 15D.

The control device 14 obtains the reading result of each of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D, and the identification mark 20 read by each of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D and the reading timing difference L of each of them correspond to the above-mentioned correlation. It is determined whether or not the collation is satisfied, and when the mutual relationship is satisfied, the collation work by the collation device 12 is executed.

That is, according to the above-described embodiment, when the top and bottom sizes H of the individual forms forming the continuous forms 15A to 15D are all, the identification marks 20 read by the respective mark reading sensors 13A to 13D and the read timing difference L thereof are different. The desired interrelationship described above can be determined in advance, and this interrelationship can be used as a criterion for executing collation work. Therefore, individual forms of various top and bottom sizes H can be collated while fixing the set positions of the mark reading sensors 13A to 13D with respect to the collating device 12.

In addition, the above collation system 10 is provided with each form supply unit 11A.
Since the form routes from 11D to the collating device 12 are arranged side by side so as to form the same line, the height of the device can be reduced and the space can be effectively used.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the setting position of each mark reading sensor with respect to the collating device is fixed at the time of changing the type of the continuous form in which the top and bottom sizes of the individual forms forming the continuous form are changed. While collating individual forms of various sizes.
