Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、紙葉類を裁断処理する紙葉類の処理装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
この種の処理装置は紙葉類を投入させる投入口を有し、この投入口から投入される紙葉類を取出手段により一枚ずつ取出して所定の搬送手段により検査部（判別手段）に搬送し、この検査部で各種の検査を行ったのち、検査内容に応じて区分部で裁断すべきものと、裁断すべきものでないものとに区分し、裁断すべきものは、裁断手段に搬送して裁断し、裁断すべきでないものは、集積部に集積するようになっている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、紙葉類には、投入口に投入した場合には処理することができないものがある。
すなわち、汚損等によりその紙質が劣悪な紙葉類は、投入口から投入しても、取出手段、搬送手段、検査部、区分部などを通過することができず、裁断部に到着できない。
【０００４】
このため、従来においては、紙質が劣悪な紙葉類のための専用の処理装置を別途用意して裁断処理していたため、コストがかかるという不都合があった。
本発明は上記実情に鑑みなされたもので、紙質が劣悪な紙葉類であっても、専用の処理装置を用いることなく裁断処理できるようにした紙葉類処理装置を提供することを目的とする。

さらに、手差部に、紙葉類を裁断用搬送手段に送り込む手差用搬送手段を設けることにより、手差される紙葉類をスムーズに裁断用搬送手段に送り込むことができるようにする。
【００１９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図面に示す一実施の形態を参照して説明する。
図１は紙葉類処理装置を示すもので、図中１は装置本体である。
装置本体１の前面部には、複数枚の紙葉類を集積状態で一括投入させる投入口（図示しない）が設けられている。装置本体１内には投入された紙葉類を受ける収納部としての載置部２が設けられ、載置部２の上部側には、載置部２から紙葉類を一枚ずつ分離して取出す取出手段としての取出ローラ３が設けられている。
【００２０】
また、装置本体１内には取出ローラ３によって取出された紙葉類を搬送路６ａに沿って搬送するメイン搬送手段６が設けられている。搬送路６ａ中には、紙葉類を所定のルールに従って検査し、紙葉類が正しいものであるか否かを検査する判別手段としての複数の検査ユニット８が配設されている。
【００２１】
メイン搬送手段６の終端部には検査結果に従って紙葉類の搬送方向を２方向に切り替える分岐ゲート１０を介して裁断用の搬送手段６Ａと不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂが接続されている。
【００２２】
裁断用の搬送手段６Ａの終端部には検査ユニット８にて正しい紙葉類であることが判断された紙葉類を裁断する裁断装置（裁断手段）１２が接続され、不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂの終端には、検査ユニット８にて正しい紙葉類でないことが判断された紙葉類を集積する排除集積装置（集積部）１４が接続されている。
【００２３】
紙葉類を処理する場合には、投入口を介して装置本体１内に紙葉類が投入される。この投入された紙葉類は、載置部２に載置され、取出ローラ３により、一枚づつ取出されてメイン搬送手段６により検査ユニット８へ搬送される。検査ユニット８へ搬送された紙葉類は、ここで正しい紙葉類であるか否かが検査され、この検査結果に従って裁断用搬送手段６Ａを介して裁断装置１２に送られ、あるいは不裁断用搬送手段６Ｂを介して排除集積装置１４に集積される。
【００２４】
例えば、検査ユニット８にて正しい紙葉類であることが判断されると、メイン搬送手段６が裁断用搬送手段６Ａに接続されるように分岐ゲート１０が切換えられ、紙葉類が裁断装置１２に送られる。また、検査ユニット８にて正しい紙葉類ではないことが判断されると、搬送手段６が不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂに接続されるように分岐ゲート１０が切換えられ、紙葉類が排除集積装置１４に集積される。
【００２５】
裁断装置１２に送られた紙葉類は裁断処理され、排除集積装置１４に集積された紙葉類は装置外に取出されて作業員により検査され、別の処理工程へ移される。
【００２６】
図２は裁断用の搬送手段６Ａと不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂを示すものである。
裁断用の搬送手段６Ａは第１の搬送ベルト１８と、この第１の搬送ベルト１８に接触して紙葉類を挟持搬送する第２の搬送ベルト１９、さらに、第３の搬送ベルト２０とこの第３の搬送ベルト２０に接触して紙葉類を挟持搬送する第４および第５の搬送ベルト２１，２２とからなる。
【００２７】
また、裁断用の搬送手段６Ａの近傍には、装置本体１の投入口から投入しても取り出して搬送することができない、たとえば、汚損された紙質の劣悪な紙葉類などを手差させるための手差部２５が設けられている。
【００２８】
手差部２５には開閉自在な手差トレイ２６、手差された紙葉類を案内するガイド２７、このガイド２７に沿って案内される紙葉類を搬送手段６Ａに送り込む手差用搬送手段としての搬送ベルト２８が配設されている。
【００２９】
不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂはおよびメイン搬送手段６は多数本の搬送ベルト群２４…によって構成されている。
図３は裁断用の搬送手段６Ａと、メイン搬送手段６および不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂの駆動系３０Ａ，３０Ｂを示すものである。
【００３０】
裁断用の駆動系３０Ａは第２の駆動モータ（第２の駆動源３１）と、この駆動モータ３１に駆動ベルト３２を介して連結されるドライブローラ３３，３４，３５とからなり、これらドライブローラ３３，３４，３５の回転により搬送手段６Ａの第１〜第５の搬送ベルト１８〜２２さらに手差用の搬送手段としての搬送ベルト２８が走行されるようになっている。
【００３１】
メイン搬送手段６および不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂの駆動系３０Ｂは第１の駆動モータ（第１の駆動源）３８と、この駆動モータ３８に駆動ベルト３９，４０，４１を介して連結されるドライブローラ４２，４３とからなり、これらドライブローラ４２，４３の回転によりメイン搬送手段６および不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂの搬送ベルト群２４…が走行されるようになっている。
【００３２】
図４は第１および第２の駆動モータ３８，３１の制御系を示す図である。
図中４５は投入口から投入された紙葉類を取り出して搬送処理する自動搬送モード、あるいは、手差部２５から手差される紙葉類を処理する手差モードを入力するモード設定手段としての入力手段で、４６は入力手段４５の入力情報に応じて第１おるいは第２の駆動モータ３８、３１の駆動を制御する制御部である。
【００３３】
制御部４６は自動搬送モードが入力されると、第１および第２の駆動モータ３８、３１の両方を同速度で駆動させ、手差モードが入力されると、第２の駆動モータ３１のみを自動搬送モード時よりも低速で回転駆動させるようになっている。
【００３４】
しかして、自動搬送モード（通常モード）時には、第１および第２の駆動モータ３８，３１が各々同速度で回転駆動する。
第１の駆動モータ３８の回転により、駆動ベルト３９，４０，４１を介してドライブローラ４２，４３が駆動され、メイン搬送手段６、不裁断用の搬送手段６Ｂの搬送ベルト群２４…が回転して、紙葉類を搬送する。
【００３５】
一方、第２の駆動モータ３１の回転により、駆動ベルト３２を介してドライブローラ３３、３４、３５が回転駆動される。この回転駆動により、搬送ベルト１８，１９，２０，２１，２２が走行して、裁断用の紙葉類を搬送する。
【００３６】
また、手差モードでは、第２の駆動モータ３１のみが通常モードよりも遅い速度で駆動され、かつ、第１の駆動モータ３８は停止している。
手差部２５から手差された紙葉類は手差トレイ２６に沿って挿入されたのち、手差用搬送ベルト２８の走行により第３の搬送ベルト２０と第４の搬送ベルト２１との間に送り込まれて通常モードよりも遅い速度で裁断装置１２に供給されて裁断される。
【００３７】
上記したように、手差部２５を設け、この手差部２５から紙葉類を手差させて直接、裁断用の搬送手段６Ａに送り込むため、汚損等により、取出ローラ３、メイン搬送手段６、区分ゲート１０などを通過できない紙葉類であっても、裁断装置１２に送り込んで裁断することができる。
【００３８】
また、裁断用の駆動モータ３１を遅い速度で駆動することにより、紙葉類が裁断用搬送手段６Ａに送り込まれる際、紙葉類と一緒にオペレータの指が裁断用搬送手段６Ａの搬送ベルトに挟み込まれる危険を減らすことができる。
【００３９】
さらに、手差用の搬送ベルト２８を設けるため、搬送ベルト２８上にある紙葉類をスムーズに裁断用搬送手段６Ａに送り込むことができる。
また、手差する際には、メイン搬送手段６および不裁断用搬送手段６Ｂが停止しているため、オペレータがメイン搬送手段６および不裁断用搬送手段６Ｂに触れても怪我をする危険がない。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
本発明は以上説明したように、裁断用搬送手段の近傍に手差部を設け、この手差部から紙葉類を手差させて裁断用搬送手段に送り込むため、紙葉類を取出手段や判別手段などに通過させる必要がなく、直接、裁断用搬送手段に供給できる。
【００４１】
したがって、従来は不可能であった汚損した紙葉類の裁断も可能となり、別途裁断処理装置を専用に備える必要がなく、コストを低減できる。
また、手差モード時には、自動搬送モード時よりも、裁断用搬送手段の駆動速度を低速化するため、手差時にオペレータの手が裁断用搬送手段に巻き込まれる危険が少ない。
【００４２】
また、手差部には手差用搬送手段を設けるため、手差される紙葉類をスムーズに裁断用搬送手段に送り込むことができる。
さらに、手差モード時にはメイン搬送手段および不裁断用搬送手段の駆動を停止させ、裁断用搬送手段のみを駆動させるため、オペレータが紙葉類を手差する際に、メイン搬送手段あるいは不裁断用搬送手段に接触しても怪我をする虞がない。
