Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a stacking device applied to a sorting box or the like in which mail (letters, etc.) are sorted and stacked in a mail sorting machine, for example.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

For example, in a mail sorting machine, normally, the mail that is fed all at once to the supply section is taken out one by one by the take-out section, then the sorting information is read by the reading section, and then the mail is placed in a large number of sorting boxes. They are now sorted and accumulated according to the sorting information.

Conventionally, as a stacking device applied to the sorting boxes of such a mail sorting machine, there is one constructed as shown in FIG. That is, a sorting box e is provided below a sorting gate d disposed in the middle of a conveying path c constituted by a conveying belt a and conveying rollers b. Mail (letters, etc.) p by a moving mechanism (not shown)
A backup plate f is provided which is moved up and down according to the amount of accumulation. Further, a storage section g is provided below the backup plate f for storing paper bills q in a stacked state. When a piece of mail p... is conveyed along the conveyance path c, sorted by the sorting gate d, and received in the sorting box e, the piece of mail p... is accumulated on the backup plate f. Ru. When the accumulated amount reaches a predetermined amount, they are taken out at once from the front side, attached with paper bills q, and sent to the next processing step. Further, a notch h is provided in the front part of the backup plate f,
As shown in FIG. 2, mail items p can be easily taken out by inserting a finger or the like.

Incidentally, in recent years, there has been a demand for miniaturization of such sorting machines. When this miniaturization is achieved, the height of the sorting box e is reduced, so there is no problem in accumulating the mail items p even if the backup plate f is not used. Further, when the backup plate f is used, a mechanism for moving it is required, which results in a complicated structure and high cost. Moreover, since the backup plate f is located at the bottom when taking out the mail p... accumulated on the backup plate f, the backup plate does not rise after taking out the mail p... The paper bill q must be taken out from the accommodating section g after waiting for 20 seconds, which makes it difficult to take out the paper bill q.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a stacking device that allows easy removal of paper sheets and paper bills, has a simple structure, and is inexpensive. .

[Summary of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a stacking device that is capable of receiving and stacking paper sheets one after another and then taking them out all at once. A spacer provided, a paper bill compartment provided behind this spacer,
The spacer includes a space portion provided approximately in the center into which a finger or the like can be inserted, and an inclined surface portion provided on the surface of the spacer facing the paper bill compartment. It is characterized by being accumulated on the paper bill compartment.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. 3 shows a sorting box portion of a mail sorting machine to which the accumulating device according to the present invention is applied, and numeral 1 denotes a conveying path constituted by a conveying belt and conveying rollers 2 (not shown).
A sorting gate 4 driven by a rotary solenoid 3 is disposed in the middle of the conveying path 1, and a sorting box 5 is provided below the sorting gate 4. This sorting box 5 is divided by a right side frame 6, a rear frame 7, a bottom fixing plate (bottom plate) 8, and the like.

On the fixed plate 6, there are spacers 9, 9 on the front side.
However, a paper bill compartment 10 is provided on the back side. The paper bill compartment 10 has an ejection opening 1.
1 and 11 are formed, and the front surface and a portion of the upper surface on the side of the spacers 9 and 9 are open. Furthermore, a space 12 is formed in the approximate center of the spacers 9, 9 into which a finger or the like can be inserted toward the back side, and an outlet 11, 1 of the paper bill compartment 10 is formed.
As shown in FIG. 4, a sloped surface portion 13 is provided on the surface facing 1. As shown in FIG. Further, the front end portion 14 of the fixed plate 8 is bent diagonally downward, and a display plate 15 is attached to this surface. The display plate 15 displays the collection box number 16 and the postal code 17 of the mail items (letters, etc.) p to be collected. This display plate 15 can be easily replaced.

When the mail p... is transported along the conveyance path 1, sorted by the sorting gate 4, and received into the sorting box 5, the mail p... is transferred to the spacers 9, 9 and the paper bill compartment 10. They are accumulated in order at the top. When the accumulated amount reaches a predetermined amount, they are taken out all at once from the front side, attached with paper bills q, and sent to the next processing step.

According to the above configuration, since the spacers 9, 9 are provided, the mail items p can be stacked in an orderly manner on the spacers 9, 9 and the paper bill compartment 10. Moreover, since the space 12 is provided between the spacers 9, 9, when taking out the mail p..., the mail p... can be easily taken out by inserting a finger or the like into this space 12, as shown in FIG. I can put it out.

Further, since the inclined surface portion 13 is provided on the surface of the spacers 9, 9 facing the paper bill compartment 10, when taking out the paper bill q, the inclined surface portion 13 can be used to easily and smoothly take out the paper bill q.

Furthermore, since the mail items p... are accumulated on the spacers 9, 9 provided on the fixed plate 8 and on the paper bill compartment 10, unlike the conventional apparatus in which the mail items are accumulated on the backup plate that moves up and down, Since no moving mechanism is required, the structure is simple and the cost is low. Moreover, since no backup plate is used, the operation of taking out paper bills q can be performed more easily.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a stacking device that can take out paper sheets at once after receiving and stacking them one after another, the stacking device includes a bottom plate for stacking paper sheets and a base plate provided on the bottom plate. spacer and
A paper bill compartment provided at the back of the spacer, a space provided approximately in the center of the spacer into which a finger or the like can be inserted, and an inclined surface portion provided on the surface of the spacer facing the paper bill compartment. Equipped with
Since the received paper sheets are accumulated on the spacer and the paper bill compartment, the paper sheets and paper bills can be easily taken out, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.
