Abstract

PURPOSE:To control the extent of power consumption by detecting the opening or closing of a cover body installed in a proper spot of a box body internally provided with web processing equipment, and making such a power supply as capable of processing operation so as to be done only when a power switch is in an on-state and the cover body is in a state of being opened. CONSTITUTION:Power supply for all parts 31, 32 and 36 is stopped even if a power switch 35 is turned on, whereby all but a memory part of a control processing unit 30 come to an off-state. When a fact that a cover body is opened is detected by a microswitch 34, the power supply for each part is started and web processing equipment starts its operation. On the other hand, when this cover body is closed during operation, or operation is stopped by paper termination and this state continues as long as 10 minutes, processing operation is regarded as being finished, the power supply for each part is stopped even if the power switch is kept in the on-state intact. Thus, if the power switch is turned on, the power supply necessary for the operation is not carried out unless the cover body is opened, and that even if the power switch is omitted to be turned off, wasteful power is not consumed when the cover body is closed.

The tip of the stopper 20 is in a state in which the tip of the stopper 20 enters the groove (not shown) when the lifting table 16 is in the highest position (shown by the solid line). Further, at a position near the driven roller 19, a detection signal is sent to detect the position of the uppermost unit sheet 1a stacked on the lifting table 16, and to lower the lifting table 16 when the position is higher than a certain position. A paper stack detector 33b for feeding to the CPLI 30 is provided.

The above-described continuous paper processing device is housed in a housing 10, and a lid 21, which is opened when loading the continuous paper 1 into the tractor device 7, is supported on the top of the housing 10 by a hinge 22 so as to be openable and closable. ing. And this hinge 22
A microswitch 34, which is an opening/closing detection switch, is provided near the opening/closing detection switch for detecting the closing of ff1l of the lid body 2I. The microswitch 34 emits an off signal when the lid 21 is opened, and an on signal when the lid 21 is closed, and is configured so that this detection signal is manually input to the CPU 30. Further, although it is not clear in the drawing, the lower part of the single body 10 is open so that the continuous paper 1 can be placed on the mounting table 3, and a power switch 35 is provided on the inner wall of this open part, and the power switch 35 is provided on the inner wall of this open part. The configuration is such that an on/off signal from the switch 35 is also input to the CPU 30.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, a display section 36 for displaying various displays such as operation displays is provided at a suitable location on the upper part of the outer wall of the housing 10.
(See Figure 3).

Further, the drive unit 32 shown in FIG.
2 a, 32 b, 32 c, and 32 d, and the detection unit 33 includes each of the above-mentioned detectors 33 a.
, 33b.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

First, the continuous paper l is placed in a predetermined folded state at a predetermined position on the mounting table 3, and the power switch 35 is turned on. Here, if the lid 21 is not opened, the continuous paper processing apparatus will not be supplied with power necessary for operation under the control of the CPU 30. The control operation of the CPU 30 will be described below with reference to FIG. 4.

Even if the power switch 35 is turned on (step 101), power supply to each section 31, 32, 33, 3 (i) is stopped (step I02), and everything except the memory section of the CPU 30 is turned off. When the microswitch 34 detects that 21 is opened (step 103),
Power supply to each part is started (step 104), and the continuous paper processing apparatus starts operating. On the other hand, if the lid 21 is closed during operation or the operation is stopped due to the end of paper, and these conditions continue for 10 minutes, it is determined that the processing operation has ended (step 105), and the power switch 35 is turned on. Even if it remains as it is, the process returns to step 102 and power supply to each section 31, 32, 33i 36 is stopped. In this way, even if the power switch 35 is turned on, the lid 21
The power necessary for operation will not be supplied unless you open the ? l
Even if you forget to turn off the power switch 35, as long as the lid body 21 is closed, power will not be wasted.

As described above, when the continuous paper 1 is placed on the mounting table 3 in a predetermined state for 13IH and the lid body 21 is opened, the machine becomes ready for operation. Then, the paper size measuring device 31 performs a unit paper size measurement operation, and a paper size detection signal resulting from this measurement operation is output to the CPU 30. The CPU 30 sends a drive control signal based on the length detection signal in the paper width direction to the motor 32b, and adjusts the facing interval of the tractor device 7 to the width of the continuous paper 1 via the gear 9. On the other hand, the interval detection signal of the folding width of the continuous paper 1 is sent from the CPU 30 to a stopper drive mechanism (not shown) that positions the stopper 29, and the position of the stopper 29 is adjusted to match the folding width interval of the paper. At the same time, the CPU 3
It is also stored in memory 0.

Next, the housing 10 with the lid 21 opened and the upper part opened.
The continuous paper 1 inside is pulled up, its marginal hole 6.6 is engaged with the tractor pin of the tractor device 7 whose facing interval has been adjusted, and a starting switch (not shown) is turned on to drive the main motor 32a. As a result, continuous paper 1
is transferred to the right in FIG. 1, the marginal portion 5.5 is cut off by the thrifter 8, and it continues to be transferred. The transport speed of the continuous paper l is detected by a detector (not shown) and is sent to the CPU 30.

Incidentally, a detector for detecting the transport speed of the continuous paper 1 also constitutes the detecting section 33 in FIG. 3.

Then, the leading edge detection signal from the paper leading edge @detector 33a is C.
When input to the PU 30, the CPU 30 outputs a control signal based on the transport speed and folding width interval of the continuous paper 1 that have already been input to a roller drive mechanism (not shown). As a result, the infeed roller 13a
, 13b and the bead rollers 14a, 14b,
When the continuous paper 1 is transported to a predetermined position, it is approached in the vertical direction and the infeed rollers 13a, 13b
Then, the blade 15 comes into contact with the folding/cutting perforation 2 of the continuous sheet 1 to which tension is applied by the high-speed rollers L4a and 14b, and the continuous sheet 1 is cut into unit sheets 1a.

The cut unit paper 1a is moved to the stopper 2 by the carry-in guide belt 17, which is circulating faster than the carry-out speed.
They are transported until their tips hit the 0 and then stacked one after another on the lifting table 1G. Here, when the position of the uppermost unit sheet 1a is higher than a predetermined height position, it is detected by the sheet stack amount detector 33b,
This detection signal is sent to the CPU 30, and a lowering drive signal is output to the geared motor 32d, and the lifting table 16 is lowered by a predetermined distance, so that a smooth stacking operation is always performed.

When the processing work is completed and the power switch 35 is turned off, or when 10 minutes have passed since the lid 21 was closed, or when the operation has stopped due to the end of the paper and 10 minutes have passed, continuous paper processing is performed. Power supply to each part of the device is stopped. Here, if the power switch 35 is not turned off, the processing work can be started as soon as the lid 21 is opened.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and for example, the position where the lid 21 is provided is not limited to the upper part of the casing 0, but can be set as appropriate, such as on the side. Further, the opening/closing detection switch is not limited to the microswitch 34, and its setting position can be changed according to various conditions such as the setting position and structure of the lid 21. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the setting position of the power switch 35 can also be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the processing operations of the continuous paper processing device are not limited to cutting operations and stacking operations.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, unless the lid is opened, each part of the continuous paper processing device that performs the processing operation even when the power switch is on is Since power is not supplied to the machine, power consumption during non-operation can be reduced, and when processing work is performed intermittently, the power supply can be controlled by simply opening and closing the lid without having to turn on and off the power switch each time. Therefore, there is an effect that work efficiency is improved.
