  In the page turning means of Patent Document 1, a rubber piece is obliquely provided at the tip of an arm via a flexible spring, the rubber piece is driven in an inclined rotation path, and a wedge-shaped piece is placed outside the top margin of the page turning target paper surface. A rubber piece is assisted along the slope of the wedge-shaped piece to introduce it into the top margin, and the superior arc-shaped rotating ring supported on the motor output side is rotated to suppress the top of the top margin. In addition, it complements the reversal of the page surface, and a pair of fore edge restrainers are provided on the left and right fore edge sides of the spread so that the left and right fore margins of the spread can be pressed and opened, but the inferior page spread characteristics of the target page There is a case where it is difficult to press the raised portions on both sides of the page stitch, and there is a concern that the rotation diameters of the arm and the rubber piece may be in contact with surrounding obstacles outside the body frame.

  In the page turning machine of Patent Document 2, a rubber brush attached to the free end of the swing arm on the output side of the motor can be reciprocally swung in the page turning process between the page turning start point and the end point. The rotating diameter of the rotary arm and rubber piece extends beyond the fuselage frame, but it is worried about contact with surrounding obstacles. There is a concern that the curling action is more uncertain than the lower layer paper surface of the target page surface for books with inferior spread characteristics due to the complicated control and configuration.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems related to the conventional page turning means for holding the facing pages of books, the control means for automatically operating the page separation and reversing of the page to be turned, the page turning target page is slid. A wavy curved surface is formed on the top side of the target page by opening the swing arm that moves and reciprocally swings, and the margin of the target page is pressed and released by the rubber brush attached to the solenoid output side. It is another object of the present invention to provide a page turning machine that can slide to the tip side by inserting an arm into the curved surface, and can reverse and expand the curved surface that has passed over the stitches to the tip.

  A motor is erected in the direction of the spread of the spread book placed on the base plate, and the swing arm is pivotally supported by a hinge secured to the shaft on the output side. The fork is formed, the fork is abutted on the page surface by a spring mounted in the middle of the shaft with the arm, and can be reciprocally swung by the motor on the same page surface. A right top corner solenoid on the top corner, a left top solenoid on the left top corner, a right bottom solenoid on the right bottom edge, and a left bottom solenoid on the left bottom edge, and the output of each solenoid. The rubber brush attached to the end can be reciprocated to the open position and the pressed position at each position on the page surface, and the control means sequentially and cooperatively controls the operation of the swing arm and fork, each solenoid and the rubber brush. Configure a page turning machine that enables page turning. It is. Here, the solenoid applies, as an electromagnetic operation means, a straight traveling type, commonly known as a small electric cylinder or a small electric actuator, to the right / left top corner solenoid, and a straight traveling type or A rotary actuator may be applied.

  The operation of the page turning machine having the above-described configuration is as follows. That is, on the page to be turned, the leading fork of the swing arm is stopped at the start position in the middle of the top margin, the spring is biased to the arm, the fork is brought into contact with the page, and the following fork is moved out of the top margin. Stop and turn the right top corner solenoid when turning the right page and the left top corner solenoid when turning the left page while holding the fore edge of the target page in the pressed position by the right and left fore solenoids , The frictional force between the output end member and the target paper surface is set in advance to be larger than the frictional force between the lower end paper surface and the target paper surface is The paper is separated from the lower surface of the paper and slides toward the leading fork, the distance between the leading fork and the output end member is reduced, and the target paper is deflected to form an open wavy curved surface on the top. The motor When the swing arm is swung to the tip, the succeeding fork is inserted into the lower side of the opening-like same wave-like curved surface, gradually expanding the same wave-like curved surface to the stitch side, and both the preceding and succeeding forks move to the upper side of the same stitch. Passing, the leading fork slides on the leading page and reaches the end position outside the margin, and at the same time, the trailing fork reverses and expands to the leading page while sliding on the inner surface of the corrugated curved surface, The page turning operation is completed, the swing of the motor, swing arm or both forks is stopped, the output end member of each solenoid is operated to the pressed position, and a new spread surface is held for reading. . Further, when the page turning operation is continued, the motor can be reversed, the swing arm or fork can be returned to the starting position, and the above process can be repeated.

  On the page to be turned, each solenoid output end member of each electromagnetic operation means is in the pressing position, the swinging fork on the swing arm comes into contact with the middle of the top margin, and the subsequent fork stops outside the top margin. When the output end member of the solenoid on the top angle side of the turning original page is quickly pressed from the open position to the same blank space side, the friction force between the output end member and the target page surface is less than the friction force between the lower side paper surface Because of the large setting, the target page surface is deflected by the pressing horizontal component force of the output end member, slides separately from the lower surface of the paper, and generates an open wavy curved surface with the preceding fork. The target page surface can be reliably separated from the lower layer paper surface.

  At the same time that the wavy curved surface is generated, when the swing arm or fork starts to swing by the motor, the subsequent fork is inserted into the wavy curved surface and gradually expands the wavy curved surface toward the tip side. Passes over the stitches and reaches the turn destination page side, the target page is turned over to the previous page by the subsequent fork and expanded, the page turning operation is completed, and a new spread page is displayed at the output end of each solenoid. The material can be pressed and held for reading.

  For books with inferior spread characteristics, a reliable page turning action can be expected if the layered paper sheets of the booklet are previously squeezed with a fingertip and the separation state of each paper sheet is secured.

  The page turning machine of the present invention has few components and can apply sequence control as control means for automatically performing a series of operations in the page turning process.

    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 and 2, the spread book (3) is placed on the top plate (2) covered on the base plate (1), and the direction of extension of the stitches (3d) to the top side is the same. The motor (5) is erected on the base plate, the hinge (4b) is attached to the output shaft (5a), and the swing arm (4) is pivotally supported. A fork (4a) is formed, a spring (4c) is mounted in the middle of the arm and the shaft (5a), the fork (4a) is brought into contact with the page surface, and the motor (5) Reciprocating linear solenoid is applied as electromagnetic actuating means including solenoid actuator on the top corners of the right and left pages. The right corner solenoid (61) and the left corner solenoid (62) are arranged, and reciprocate halfway between the right and left pages. Dynamic type solenoids are applied, and a right fore edge solenoid (63) and a left fore edge solenoid (64) are provided, respectively, and a rubber brush (6) is attached to the output end member of each solenoid to be turned. The coefficient of friction with the page surface is set to be larger than the coefficient of friction between the lower-layer paper surfaces, and each solenoid is simultaneously or selectively with respect to the page surface to be turned at the respective disposition positions, the open position (a0) and the pressing position. The control means (S) is capable of switching to (a1), and the control means (S), which is not shown in the figure, enables page turning which enables a page turning operation in which the operations of the swing arm and each solenoid are linked and controlled by sequence control. Make up machine.

  The perspective view of FIG. 4 is a reciprocating linear output type push-pull solenoid disposed on the right and left pages of the spread page, and includes a right corner solenoid (61) and a left corner solenoid (62). ) Shows the open position (a0) and the pressed position (a1) of the rubber brush (6).

  The perspective view of FIG. 5 is a rotary solenoid of a reciprocating rotation output type disposed on the right side and left side of the double-page spread, and includes a right fore edge solenoid (63) and a left fore edge solenoid (64). ) Shows the open position (a0) and the pressed position (a1) of the rubber brush (6).

  The right corner solenoid (61), the left corner solenoid (62), the right fore edge solenoid (63), and the left fore edge solenoid (64) as the electromagnetic actuating means are commonly called small-sized electric actuators as linear actuators. A cylinder or a small electric actuator may be applied.

  Between the base plate (1) and the top plate (2) from the motor (5) to the spread book (3), a cover (not shown) that covers the operating part of the swing arm (4) and the like is omitted. It is desirable to be able to use it in a safe state, avoiding contact with foreign objects.

  The effect of the page turning operation in the above embodiment is as follows. That is, on the page to be turned, the leading fork (p1) for turning the right page of the swing arm (4) or the leading fork (q1) for turning the left page is applied to the top margin (3a) by the bias of the spring (4c). When the next fork (p2) for turning the right page or the following fork (q2) for turning the left page is stopped outside the top margin (3a), the page to be turned is The leading fork and the right corner solenoid (63) or the left corner solenoid (63) or the left corner solenoid (64) are restrained to the pressing position (a1) by the rubber brush (6). By switching (62) from the open position (a0) to the pressed position (a1), the frictional force between the rubber brush and the target paper surface is greater than the frictional force between the lower paper surface, so the pressing horizontal component force of the rubber brush Depending on the target paper Separated from the lower surface of the paper, slides toward the leading fork side to generate a bending stress, reduces the distance between the rubber brush and the leading fork, and forms an open wavy curved surface (3d) on the top side of the lower surface of the paper. At the same time, when the swinging of the swing arm (4) and the fork (4a) to the tip side is started by the motor (5), the succeeding fork (p2 or q2) is interposed below the open wave-like curved surface. Inserting and continuing to swing toward the tip, gradually expand the wave-like curved surface to the side of the seam (3d) by the subsequent fork, and the fork (4a) passes the upper part of the seam, leading the fork Slides on the turning front page, and the subsequent fork rolls over the same wave-like curved surface of the turning target paper while sliding to the turning front page and rolls up, completes the turning operation of the target page, and the preceding fork turns. When reaching the end position on the top of the previous page, the motor (5) According stops swinging fork (4a), and operates the rubber brush (6) of the solenoid pressing position to the (a1), is set to be subjected to Handoku to ensure updated spread surface. Further, the motor (5) is reversed, the swing arm and the leading fork are swung to return to the starting position, and the above operation can be repeated. Here, in the right page turning operation from the right page to the left page, the swing arm (4) and the fork (4a) shown by solid lines in FIG. 1 are swung clockwise (cw), and conversely from the left page. In the left page turning operation for turning to the right page, the swing arm (4) and the fork (4a) indicated by the phantom lines are swung counterclockwise (ccw), and the left and right page turning operations are reversed left and right. Since it is a selfish action, explanation is omitted.
