Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention involves constructing an endless round belt by winding both ends around a drive pulley and a vertical pulley, and sandwiching the round belt from both sides in the construction section. A pair of presser pulleys are arranged in series to receive pieces of paper etc. from a paper pieces etc. processing machine arranged in the construction section,
The present invention relates to a conveying device for conveying pieces of paper, etc., in which the pieces of paper, etc. are sandwiched between the presser pulley and the round belt and conveyed sequentially.

``Prior art'' As a conventional conveying device for pieces of paper, etc.
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 185749.

That is, this publication discloses a conveying device using an endless round belt, in which the conveying path of a collection line for paper pieces, etc., constructed by extending the round belt is integrated as a whole.

Furthermore, the introduction path for receiving pieces of paper and the like from the processing machines disposed along the conveyance path has conventionally been generally constructed as shown in FIG. 11.

In Fig. 11, a pair of presser pulleys 2 are installed near the end of the introduction path l.
A, 2a are arranged, and a star wheel 4, which is connected to the presser pulley 2a and an auxiliary belt 3 so as to be interlocked and is spaced at an interval less than the length of one piece of paper, is arranged at the starting end on the processing machine A side. It is set up.

The reason why the star wheel 4 was provided is that if a piece of paper or the like sent into the introduction path is returned for some reason, it is necessary to reduce the pulling force so that it can be pulled back. This is because the pulling force associated with pieces of paper etc. becomes smaller.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, in such conventional technology, the conveyance path is formed integrally, so it has to be manufactured each time according to the length of the set conveyance path, so it lacks versatility. Without,
There was a problem in that not only did the number of manufacturing steps increase, but also the construction period was long, making it impossible to manufacture quickly.

Further, in the case where a star wheel is used in the introduction path, there is a problem in that the conveying efficiency is poor because pieces of paper, etc. are fed only by the protrusion of the star wheel.

The present invention has been made by focusing on such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a conveyance device for pieces of paper, etc., in which a conveyance path can be easily manufactured in a short construction period, and the introduction path has good conveyance efficiency. It is an object.
