Since its movement is restricted by the left and right forced guides 31, the angle at which it can rotate is limited. Also,
The left and right forced guide 31 has a structure consisting of a parallel portion that is parallel to each other by a certain distance L 1 and a tapered portion that is inclined by a certain distance L 2 . Therefore, the movable part 33 of the air cylinder 14 is moved forward, and the left and right guide rollers 22 are guided by the left and right forced guides 31 and immediately move forward by an initial fixed distance L1 .
The left-right rotation mechanism 16 is kept in a fixed orientation, but thereafter the guide roller 22 can freely move laterally between the left and right forced guides 31, so the left-right rotation mechanism 16 can rotate left and right.

a,17bは上下回転可能となる。 Next, the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b are rotatably supported by the rotation mechanism main body 21 via vertical rotation bearings 23a and 23b, respectively.
Spring force is applied by the upper and lower springs 26a and 26b (stretched between the rotating mechanism main body 21 and the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b, respectively) to direct the toothed belts 3 and 4 in a direction parallel to the guide. Since the movement of the pin 28 (coaxially connected to the vacuum suction pad 24) is restricted by the vertical forced guide 32a or 32b, the rotatable angle is limited. Further, as shown in detail in Fig. 4, the vertical forced guides 32a and 32b have a parallel portion that is parallel to each other for a certain distance L3 , and then a certain distance after that.
The structure includes a tapered portion inclined by L4 . Therefore, when the movable part 33 of the air cylinder 14 is moved forward, the posture of the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b remains the same as that of the toothed belts 3 and 4 until the tip of the guide pin 28 separates from the parallel part at a distance L3. It is kept in a parallel orientation, but after that the vacuum suction mechanism 17
a and 17b can be rotated up and down.

Although it is possible to rotate up and down by receiving a force larger than the spring force of a and 26b, when the movable part 33 is retracted, it is kept parallel to the toothed belts 3 and 4.

される。 First, paper sheets are supplied to the stacking section 1. The rear end of the paper sheet group is supported by the stacking plate 5, and one side end and lower end of the paper sheet group are supported by the toothed belt 2 and the toothed belts 3 and 4, respectively. In addition, the accumulation section 1
Since the slope is slanted, paper sheets can be stably accumulated. Here, before the paper sheets are stacked in the stacking section 1, the toothed belts 2, 3, and 4 are operated by motors (not shown).
Detector 1 is constantly rotating in rotation direction A.
0 detects the bottom edge of the paper sheet, the toothed belts 2, 3, 4 are activated by a signal from the control section (not shown).
stops. That is, the toothed belts 2, 3, and 4 are controlled so that the group of paper sheets is stacked such that the front end of the group of paper sheets is always at a constant position at the front end of the stacking section 1.

なる。すなわち、一通取出部11の真空吸着機構
17a,17bの吸着方向が固定されていると、
第5図a,bに示すように、紙葉類が大きく傾い
て集積された場合には真空吸着パツド24の吸着
面と紙葉類の紙面とが一致しない状態が生じる。
その結果、吸着面と紙面との間にすきまができ、
真空吸着パツド24内の圧力が大気圧開放となる
ため吸着力がなくなり、紙葉類の取り出し不能と
いつた状態が生ずる。 Here, when the front end of the paper sheet group comes to a certain position,
The one-sheet takeout unit 11 is driven by a signal from a control unit (not shown), moves the movable unit 33 of the air cylinder 14 forward, and picks up the paper sheets in the front row of the paper sheet group using the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b. vacuum suction pad 24
After the paper sheets are attracted by the paper sheets, the movable part 33 is moved back to take out the paper sheets in the front row of the paper sheet group. Here, for paper sheets of various sizes and shapes, such as large mail items, the posture of the paper sheets stacked in the stacking section 1 cannot be fixed, as shown in Fig. 5 a and b. As shown in the figure, there are four types of accumulation postures a, b, c, and d. In other words, if the suction direction of the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b of the single takeout section 11 is fixed,
As shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, if the paper sheets are stacked at a large angle, the suction surface of the vacuum suction pad 24 and the paper surface of the paper sheets may not match.
As a result, a gap is created between the suction surface and the paper surface,
Since the pressure inside the vacuum suction pad 24 is released to atmospheric pressure, the suction force is lost, resulting in a state in which paper sheets cannot be taken out.
そこで、第1図a,bに示す大型紙葉類の処理

A structure is adopted in which the direction of the suction surface of the vacuum suction pad 24 is automatically changed. That is, the single takeout section 11 is provided with a left-right rotation mechanism 16 that can accommodate the horizontal inclination of paper sheets, and vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b that can accommodate the vertical inclination of the paper sheets. For example, when the paper sheets are tilted as shown in stacking position b in FIG. 5a, the vacuum suction mechanism 17a first comes into contact with the paper sheets as the slide mechanism 12 moves forward. At this time, the vacuum suction mechanism 17b has not yet come into contact with the paper sheet. Here, the vacuum suction mechanism 17a
receives a reaction force F 1 from the paper sheet, so the left-right rotation mechanism 16 rotates around the left-right rotation bearings 20a, 20b. And the vacuum suction mechanism 17
b contacts the paper sheet, the vacuum suction mechanism 17b contacts the paper sheet, receives the reaction force F2 , and the vacuum suction mechanism 17a
By balancing the reaction force F 1 of
6 stops. Similarly, the vacuum suction mechanism 17a, 1
The vacuum suction mechanisms 17a, 17b are activated by the reaction force that the upper and lower leaf springs 25a, 25b of 7b receive from the paper sheets.
rotates around vertical rotation bearings 23a and 23b, and corresponds to the vertical inclination of the paper sheet.
以上によつて、紙葉類の紙面と吸着面とを一致
させることができる。 By doing the above, the paper surface of the paper sheet and the suction surface can be made to coincide with each other.

から搬送部34に引き出すことができる。 In addition, among large mail items, paper sheets 40 hung with strings 39 as shown in FIG. 6 are the objects to be processed. Regarding these paper sheets 40, since the strings 39 have a constant thickness, there is a level difference at the boundary between the surface of the strings 39 and the paper surface of the paper sheets. When the suction surface of the vacuum suction pad 24 hits this boundary line, as shown in FIG.
Due to the difference in level between the string 39 and the paper sheet 40, a gap 42 is created between the vacuum suction pad 24 and the paper sheet 40, which deteriorates the vacuum suction function. Here, since the string 39 is usually hung horizontally or vertically on paper sheets, if the diameter of the vacuum suction pad 24 is D and the width of the string is W, then the distance between the centers of the left and right vacuum suction pads 24 is L 5 If L 5 >D+W is maintained, even if one vacuum suction pad 24 is caught on the string 39, the other vacuum suction pad 24 will not be caught on the string 39. Therefore, if the suction force of one vacuum suction pad 24 is made larger than the force that pulls paper sheets 40 from the stacking section 1 to the conveyance section 34, for example, if one vacuum suction pad is attached to the string 39, Even if the paper sheet 24 is stiff, the other vacuum suction pads 24 normally hold the paper sheet 40, so the paper sheet can be reliably placed in the stacking section 1.
It can be pulled out to the conveying section 34 from there.

The paper sheets held by the paper sheets 17b are taken out from the stacking section 1 by the slide mechanism 12 driven by the air cylinder 14 and stopped on the conveying section 34. Then, at the same time as the stoppage, the vacuum solenoid valve (not shown) is turned off, and the vacuum suction mechanisms 17a and 17b are turned off.
By releasing the suction pressure to the atmosphere, the paper sheets are allowed to freely fall into the conveying section 34.

という効果がある。 As explained above, the large paper sheet processing device of the present invention is equipped with a vacuum suction mechanism that swings vertically and horizontally independently in each takeout section, so that the large paper sheets are not stacked at an angle in the stacking section. Paper sheets can be safely and reliably taken out. Furthermore, by arranging the center position of the vacuum suction mechanism to be shifted by a certain distance in the vertical and horizontal directions, there is an effect that paper sheets hung on a string can be reliably taken out.
