[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bookbinding apparatus, and more particularly to a bookbinding discharge structure.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an example bookbinding apparatus, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a bookbinding process (operation) of the bookbinding apparatus in FIG. 5, which will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. The bookbinding apparatus 1 is provided with a clamp part 2, a milling part 3, a gluing part 4, and a nipping part 5, and a clamper 6 including a movable clamp plate 7 and a fixed clamp plate 8 is configured to move through the respective parts in order.
[0003]
The clamp unit 2 is configured such that, for example, sheets 15 sent from a printing machine, a copier, or the like are stacked in the order of pages, and one sheet of stacked sheets (hereinafter referred to as “body”) 16 is a movable clamp plate of the clamper 6. 7 and the fixed clamp plate 8 are inserted with the back surface 18 of the main body 16 facing the level plate 9, the inserted main body 16 is moved to the fixed clamp plate 8 side of the movable clamp plate 7, and the main body 16 is moved to the clamper 6. It is the part (the bookbinding process start process of the main body 16) to be sandwiched between the two.
[0004]
The milling unit 3 is a unit that aligns the back surface 18 of the main body 16 sandwiched between the clampers 6 by the clamp unit 2 with the milling machine 10 (milling process step of the main body 16). The gluing part 4 is a part (gluing process step of the main body 16) that is glued by the gluing machine 11 to the back surface 18 of the main body 16 that is flush with the milling unit 3. The operations at the milling unit 3 and the gluing unit 4 are performed along with the movement of the clamper 6 while the body 16 is held between the clamper 6.
[0005]
The nipping unit 5 is configured such that one cover sheet 17 of a cover sheet stocker (or a paper feed table) is previously conveyed onto the nip plates (clamp plates) 12 and 13 and positioned at a predetermined position. The main body 16 glued to the back surface 18 sandwiched by the clamper 6 is positioned on the upper part located between 12 and 13, the nip plates 12, 13 and the bottom plate 14 are slightly raised, and the main body 16 is nipped with the cover 17 interposed therebetween. A cover 17 is attached to the back surface 18 of the main body 16 on the bottom plate 14 between the plates 12 and 13, and the nip plates 12 and 13 are moved almost simultaneously so that the vicinity of the edge portion on the back surface 18 side of the main body 16 from both sides. It is a part (covering process step) for attaching a cover to fold the cover 17 and tighten the cover 17 along the body 16.
[0006]
By the way, in order to discharge the book after completion of bookbinding with the cover 17 attached to the main body 16 from the bookbinding apparatus 1, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a discharge unit 19 is provided next to the nipping unit 5, and after the cover is attached. The clamper 6 is moved while holding the body 16 and is positioned at the discharge portion 19 to open the clamper 6 and drop it onto the guide plate 20 or the bottom plate 14 of the nipping portion 5 is moved as shown in FIG. Open the gap between the nip plates 12 and 13 and discharge the paper between them, or as shown in FIG. 9, after attaching the cover, return the clamper 6 to the clamp portion 2 while holding the body 16 and move the level plate 9. , It is supposed to discharge at that position.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the discharge unit 19 is provided next to the nipping unit 5, the bookbinding apparatus 1 is widened in the direction of the bookbinding process by the formation of the discharge unit 19. When the system is combined with the system, a large space is required, and there is a problem that it is difficult to install the bookbinding apparatus 1.
[0008]
Further, when discharging from the nipping portion 5, it is necessary to bring the machines that drive the nip plates 12 and 13 and the bottom plate 14 when attaching the cover to both sides, and in particular, the nip plates 12 and 13 that require a tightening force at the center. There is a problem of weakening the tightening force, and when the clamp unit 2 discharges, there is a problem that it becomes difficult for the clamp unit 2 to transport the book after discharge at a position where an operator stands.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bookbinding apparatus that can discharge a book after bookbinding to an optimal position without hindering the bookbinding process.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bookbinding apparatus that holds a body in a clamper and moves the clamper between a clamp part and a nipping part , and a guide plate is attached to an outer side surface of the nipping part . the aircraft equipped with a nipping machine that drives the nip plate to tighten the edge portion of the back side of the bottom plate and the book-body pressed against the rear surface on both sides was placed movably, the book block after binding process completed, moving the body This is achieved by using a bookbinding apparatus that drops onto the guide plate .
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the bookbinding apparatus according to the present invention, a machine body equipped with a nipping machine for bookbinding processing for attaching a cover 17 is movably mounted on a guide rail, the machine body is connected to a motor, and the machine body is bound when a cover is attached. On the path of the body clamped between the movable clamp plate and the fixed clamp plate that move sequentially through the processing steps, put it in a position where the nip plate is located, and when the cover is attached, drive the motor to move the machine backward, The movable clamp plate and the fixed clamp plate are opened so that the body after the bookbinding process is completed, that is, the book is discharged from the space in which the machine body is moved.
[0012]
When the bookbinding device is configured as described above, a sufficient clamping force can be obtained by the nip plate during the bookbinding process, and the dead space of the bookbinding device can be used effectively for the space required for moving the machine. The completed book can be discharged to the best position without increasing the size of the bookbinding apparatus.
[0013]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a nipping portion at the time of attaching a cover of a bookbinding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing the nipping portion at the time of discharging a book according to the embodiment of FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view for explaining the bookbinding process of the bookbinding apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part through all the figures.
[0014]
