FIG. 5 is a side view of the size detection apparatus, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram mainly showing a control configuration of the sheet feeding apparatus 1-B.

The sheet feeding device 1-B serves as a drive system for a bottom plate raising motor 205 for driving the movable table 103, a pickup motor 201 for driving the pickup roller 107, a sheet feeding belt 109, a reverse roller 110, and a sheet feeding for driving the pull-out roller 112. An intermediate conveyance motor 203 that drives the motor 202, the first intermediate roller 114, and the second intermediate roller 115 is provided.
Further, the sheet feeding device 1-B is a size detection device provided with a size detection sensor 130 for detecting the size of an envelope, an envelope set sensor 105 for detecting an envelope set, and an upper limit detection of the movable table 103 as detection components. Table raising sensor 108, skew correction butting sensor 111, and CIS reading registration sensor 113.

  The envelope Pf is set on the movable table 103 and the bottom plate 125 with the front surface of the envelope Pf facing upward as shown in FIG. 3 and the gusset of the envelope Pf opposite to the paper feeding direction. Further, the envelope Pf is positioned in the direction perpendicular to the paper feeding / conveying direction by a pair of side guides 127 and 128 shown in FIG. The set of envelopes Pf is detected by the envelope set sensor 105 via the raising / lowering operation of the set filler 102 and transmitted to the control device 120 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, a sheet or envelope Pf is placed on the bottom plate 125, and is sandwiched by a pair of side guides 127 and 128 that can slide in the direction of arrow A along the guide rod 126. Set to.
A size detection sensor 130 (for example, a variable resistance type position sensor) that detects the size of the paper or envelope on the bottom plate 125 by detecting the position of the side guide 128 is disposed below the bottom plate 125, and is detected thereby. Compared with the size data stored in advance, the envelope Pf set on the bottom plate 125 and the width size of the paper can be recognized.

The movable table 103 is configured to be able to swing up and down around the support shaft in the directions of arrows a and b shown in FIG. 2 by the bottom plate raising motor 205, and the fact that the envelope Pf has been set is set via the set filler 102. When detected by the set sensor 105, the bottom plate raising motor 205 is rotated forward to raise the movable table 103 so that the uppermost surface of the envelope Pf contacts the pickup roller 107.
The pickup roller 107 is operated by the pickup motor 201 in the directions indicated by arrows c and d by the cam mechanism, and the movable table 103 is raised and pushed by the upper surface of the envelope Pf on the movable table 103 to rise in the c direction. The upper limit can be detected by the sensor 108. A user or an operator presses a print key (not shown) disposed on the operation panel 1-A, and feeds an envelope from the control device 120 shown in FIG. 5 to the paper feed control unit 200 via an I / F (cable) 207. When the paper signal is transmitted, the pickup roller 107 is rotationally driven by the normal rotation of the paper feed motor 202 to pick up the envelope Pf on the bottom plate 125. The rotation direction is a direction in which the uppermost envelope Pf is conveyed to the paper feed port.

  The paper feed belt 109 is driven in the paper feed direction by the normal rotation of the paper feed motor 202, and the reverse roller 110 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction to the paper feed by the normal rotation of the paper feed motor 202, and the uppermost envelope Pf and the lower side thereof. The envelope Pf is separated, and only the uppermost envelope Pf can be fed. More specifically, the reverse roller 110 is in contact with the paper feeding belt 109 at a predetermined pressure, and when the paper is in direct contact with the paper feeding belt 109 or through a single envelope, the reverse roller 110 is rotated. When the envelope is rotated counterclockwise and the envelope enters between the sheet feeding belt 109 and the reverse roller 110, the rotation force is lower than the torque of a torque limiter (not shown). The reverse roller 110 rotates in the clockwise direction, which is the original driving direction, and pushes back the excess envelope, thereby preventing double feeding.

  The envelopes separated into one sheet by the action of the paper feed belt 109 and the reverse roller 110 are further fed by the paper feed belt 109, detected by the abutting sensor 111, and further advanced to the pull-out roller 112 stopped. bump into. Thereafter, the paper feed motor 202 is stopped in a state in which it is fed by a predetermined amount from the detection of the abutting sensor 111 and as a result is pressed against the pull-out roller 112 with a predetermined amount of deflection. As a result, the driving of the paper feeding belt 109 is stopped. At this time, by rotating the pickup motor 201, the pickup roller 107 is retracted from the upper surface of the envelope Pf, and the envelope Pf is fed only by the conveying force of the paper feeding belt 109, so that the tip of the envelope Pf is a pair of upper and lower rollers of the pull-out roller 112. The tip is aligned (skew correction).

  The pull-out roller 112 has a skew correction function and is a roller for conveying the skew-corrected envelope after separation to the first intermediate roller 114, and is driven by the reverse rotation of the paper feed motor 202. At this time (when the paper feed motor 202 is reversely rotated), the pull-out roller 112 and the first intermediate roller 114 are driven, but the pickup roller 107 and the paper feed belt 109 are not driven. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 115 denotes a second intermediate roller that further conveys an envelope or paper downstream in the paper feeding direction.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the control configuration of the image forming system of the present embodiment will be briefly described. As shown in the figure, the control device 120 is disposed in the image forming apparatus 1 and is electrically connected to the paper feed control unit 200 via an I / F (cable) 207 so as to be communicable. The control device 120 includes the above-described devices (the paper post-processing device 3, the sealing / sealing device 4, the sealing / sealing / sealing device 5) and an I / F (cable) (not shown) that are connected to form an image forming system. The control unit (not shown) of each of the above devices is electrically connected to be able to communicate with each other, and performs overall control of the operation of each of the above devices. A control unit (not shown) of each device controls the detailed operation of each device. Starting with the control device 120 and the paper feed control unit 200, the control unit (not shown) of each of the above devices includes a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a timer, and the like.

FIG. 6 is a front view of the enclosing sealing device 4 shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the mechanism, operation, and function of the enclosing sealing device 4 will be described in order.
[About envelopes]
Envelopes set in the multi-stage sheet feeding device 1-B are fed to an image forming unit inside the image forming apparatus 1, and after an address is formed on the image, the envelope sealing apparatus passes through the sheet post-processing device 3. 4 is conveyed. The envelope is first carried into the inlet conveyance path 9. After the envelope is detected by the upper entrance sensor 8-A, each transport roller is driven to start transporting the envelope. The branch claw 11 has moved to a position leading to the upper conveyance path 12, and the envelope is conveyed to the upper conveyance path 12. Further, the branch claw 13 has moved to a position leading to the envelope conveyance path 14, and the envelope is conveyed to the envelope conveyance path 14. The flap portions of the envelope are held in a state of being bitten by the chuck roller pairs 23 and 36 disposed downstream of the envelope conveyance path 14 and wait for the inclusion to be enclosed. At this time, the swing roller pair 25 is retracted in the direction of the arrow and is in a position not in contact with the envelope.
In addition, the driving conveyance roller suitably arranged in each apparatus (sheet post-processing apparatus 3, sealing / sealing apparatus 4, sealing seal / sealing seal sticking apparatus 5) described later, including the paper feeding apparatus 1 -B, For example, the conveyance distance can be reliably controlled by being rotationally driven by a stepping motor (not shown) driven by pulse input. In addition, the branching claws disposed in each of the devices (sheet post-processing device 3, sealing / sealing device 4, sealing seal / sealing seal sticking device 5) described later, including the branching claws 11, 13 of the paper feeding device 1-B. Note that this is a well-known configuration that can swing around a fulcrum shaft so as to switch the transport path by a combination of a solenoid as a driving means and a spring as an urging means, for example.

[About inclusions]
After the original is read by the ADF 2, the corresponding paper is fed into the image forming apparatus 1 from a plurality of stages of paper feeding devices 1 -B, and after the image is formed, the enclosing / sealing device 4 is passed through the paper post-processing device 3. It is conveyed to. When the inclusion is a single sheet or a sheet bundle that has been subjected to the edge binding process, it is carried into the entrance conveyance path 9. After the inclusion is detected by the upper entrance sensor 8-A, each conveyance roller is driven to start conveyance of the inclusion.
On the other hand, when the enclosed material is a booklet that has been subjected to saddle stitching processing by the paper post-processing device 3, it is carried into the lower conveyance path 10 from the lower entrance. In this case, after detecting the inclusion with the lower inlet sensor 8-B, each conveyance roller is driven to start the conveyance of the inclusion, and the branching claw 11 is moved to a position leading to the upper conveyance path 12, The article is conveyed to the upper conveyance path 12, and then follows the same conveyance path as that of a single sheet or a bundle of sheets subjected to the end binding process. After the inclusion is transferred to the upper transfer path 12, the branch claw 13 is moved to a position leading to the inclusion transfer path 15, and the inclusion is transferred to the inclusion transfer path 15. The inclusion passes through the inclusion discharge sensor 16 and is discharged to the intermediate tray 18. After the inclusion is discharged to the intermediate tray 18, the return roller 17 moves to a position in contact with the intermediate tray 18 and conveys the inclusion in the direction of the rear end stopper 21. After the completion of conveyance, the alignment operation is performed by the side jogger pair 20. The same operation is repeated until all the inclusions to be enclosed in the envelope are prepared.

[About encapsulation]
After all the inclusions are stacked on the intermediate tray 18, the rear end stopper 21 is retracted in the direction of the arrow. After the rear end stopper 21 is retracted, the front end stopper 19 starts moving in the direction of the arrow to the part indicated by the broken line, and conveys the inclusion bundle into the pack unit 22. After the bundle of inclusions has been transported to the pack unit 22, the pack unit 22 swings in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise) around the support shaft 22a in the direction indicated by the broken line, and is located at the chuck roller pair 23 portion. It is transported and sealed by transport rollers in the hep pack unit 22. After the completion of sealing, the swing roller pair 25 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow, and transports the envelope to the transport path 26.
It should be noted that the detailed configuration of the pack unit 22 is the same as that of the pack unit (46) described in Japanese Patent No. 3110806, for example.

[About seal]
The envelope sealed with the inclusion is conveyed and inserted into the envelope direction changing pocket 29 via the conveyance path 26, and insertion of the envelope is detected by a sensor 30 provided at the lower end thereof. After the envelope is inserted into the envelope direction changing pocket 29, the glue application roller 27 comes into contact with the flap of the envelope and glues it to the flap of the envelope. When sealing, it is necessary to heat the glue application roller 27 in advance so that it can be adhered by glue. When the flap of the envelope is glued by the glue application roller 27, the envelope once stored in the pocket 29 is rotated by the drive discharge roller 31 and the driven discharge roller 32 from the flap of the envelope while the flap is still open. Is inserted between the rollers 31, 32, the flap is overlapped on the envelope, and both are bonded and fixed by the pressing force between the rollers 31, 32. Then, the sealed envelope passes between the rollers 32 and 33, is transported through the discharge transport path 34, and is transported to the downstream machine of the sealed sealing device 4.

  With reference to FIGS. 7-10, the structure and operation | movement of the envelope chuck | zipper part 38 in the enclosure sealing apparatus 4 are explained in full detail. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the envelope chuck portion 38 in the sealing device 4. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the opening Pon of the envelope Pf is held below the lower end of the opening mylar 24 in the envelope chuck portion 38 of the sealing device 4. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the lower end of the opening mylar 24 has entered the opening Pon of the envelope Pf in the envelope chuck portion 38 of the sealing device 4. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the lower end of the opening mylar 24 has entered the envelope in the envelope chuck portion 38 of the sealing device 4.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the envelope chuck portion 38 is composed of a pair of chuck rollers 23 and 36 (which may be rollers) that can be rotated in pressure contact with each other in the upward and downward directions. Envelope guides 35 and 39 for guiding the envelope Pf to the nip portion, and an envelope detection sensor 37 disposed on the upstream side of conveyance of the nip portion are provided, and a part of the lower chuck roller 23 is provided. A part of the opening mylar 24 serving as a sheet-shaped opening member that can be elastically deformed is brought into contact. The opening mylar 24 is disposed at a position where the envelope can be opened by inserting a part of the opening into the opening of the envelope Pf held by the chuck rollers 23 and 36.

  The chuck rollers 23 and 36 are arranged in a substantially vertical direction and are in pressure contact with each other. The envelope guides 35 and 39 guide the envelope Pf to the position where the paper is transferred from the envelope conveyance path 14 and guide it to the nip portion of the chuck rollers 23 and 36, and the envelope Pf reaching the chuck rollers 23 and 36. Is further lowered, and the envelope is guided along the lower chuck roller 23 substantially at that time.

  The opening mylar 24 is formed of, for example, a thin film-like resin material, and is disposed in the vicinity of the chuck roller 23 so that the upper end side thereof is fixed. Usually, a portion slightly above the lower end portion is placed on the lower side. The chuck roller 23 is brought into contact with a predetermined pressure by the elastic force of the material itself, but when guiding the paper into the envelope, the lower end 24a side is placed in the opening Pon of the envelope Pf as shown in FIG. The paper P transported by the pack unit 22 is guided into the opening Pon. The envelope chuck portion 38 guides the envelope Pf between the chuck rollers 23 and 36 by the envelope guides 35 and 39 when the envelope Pf is conveyed downward. Next, the envelope Pf is fed between the chuck roller 23 and the opening mylar 24 by the conveying force of the rotating chuck rollers 23 and 36, respectively.

When the flap (envelope allowance) Pfc portion of the envelope Pf is held between the chuck rollers 23 and 36 as shown in FIG. 8, the envelope detection sensor 37 detects the passage of the end of the flap Pfc. Since the chuck rollers 23 and 36 stop rotating, the envelope Pf stops. At this time, the opening Pon of the envelope Pf is positioned in accordance with the vertical size of the envelope Pf (see L1 and L2 in FIG. 3) so that the opening Pon is located below the lower end 24a of the opening mylar 24 as shown in FIG. A predetermined amount of Pf is fed.
Next, the chuck rollers 23 and 36 start to reversely rotate in the direction indicated by arrow E, respectively, and the envelope Pf is switched back to ascend the envelope conveyance path 14. At that time, since the lower end 24a side of the opening mylar 24 is in contact with the flap Pfc portion of the envelope Pf by its own elastic force, the lower end 24a of the opening mylar enters the opening Pon of the envelope as shown in FIG. In this state, the reverse rotation of the chuck rollers 23 and 36 stops and the rise of the envelope Pf stops. Accordingly, the envelope Pf is set in an opened state in which the lower end 21a of the opening mylar 21 is inserted into the opening Pon of the envelope Pf as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the glue application unit 60 of the sealing device 4. As shown in FIG. 11A, the glue application unit 60 forms a glue film by putting hot melt glue 28 melted at a high temperature in a melt tank 61 on the surface of the glue application roller 27 rotating in the direction of the arrow. Is applied in contact with the flap of the envelope. A heater and a thermometer (not shown) are installed inside the shaft 71 of the glue application roller 27, and the hot melt glue 28 can maintain a constant temperature. When the glue application roller 27 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise direction) shown in FIG. 11A, the hot melt glue 28 is scraped off by the sheet metal 72, and the hot melt glue 28 is applied to the glue application roller 27 as much as necessary. Is applied. The melt tank 61 in the glue application unit 60 is supported by a spring (compression spring) 63 of the housing 62.
