Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to creating a paper set by stitching or bundling a plurality of printed papers such as thin documents, booklets, and coupon tickets. The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for supplying a set of sheets before final processing such as binding to a processing machine such as a wrapping machine, a shrinking machine, a strapping machine, and a binding machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when creating paper sets for thin documents, booklets, coupon tickets, etc., the paper is printed in a predetermined manner, multiple sheets of paper are collated and cut, and one or more paper sets are made, for example. This was done by feeding it to a packaging machine. This production process will be explained in detail based on FIG. 4. The paper set creation process includes a printing process (a) in which prescribed printing is performed on each paper, a full-size inspection process (b) in which the printing condition of each paper is checked, a collation process (c') in which the papers are combined, and a final cutting process in which many sheets of paper are combined together. The process consists of a cutting process d' in which paper is cut, an inspection process e, a cutting process f' in which paper sheets are cut into different sheets, a processing process g' using a packaging machine, etc., and then a labeling process h. A set of paper wrapped in a wrapping band was created.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned method of creating paper sets using the conventional production process, a cutting process is required in which the paper sets are cut into different sets for each set in order to make it easier to determine the number of sets before being sent to the processing machine. Different processes require manpower. Furthermore, when the paper set is processed by a processing machine, it is done manually, which makes the entire process of creating the paper set complicated.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional art. After compacting, the paper sets are separated one by one, the paper sets are aligned on a conveyor, and the stiffened back part of the paper sets is cut, thereby omitting the process of cutting the paper sets. Multiple sets of paper sets consisting of a plurality of sheets of printed paper can be separably stiffened and arranged above a conveyor, and the paper is discharged from a discharge port located at the top of the conveyor having a gap between the thickness of the paper sets. a discharging section that separates and discharges sets of sheets; a delivery section that receives and arranges paper sets ejected from the discharge port onto a conveyor and delivers them intermittently; The above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by providing a paper set supplying device characterized by comprising a cutting section that temporarily fixes a paper set stopped on a conveyor and cuts a stiffened part of the paper set. It is something to do.

[Effect]

In the present invention, it becomes possible to omit the cutting operation of the sheet set and send each set of sheets to a processing step using a packaging machine or the like.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, 1 is a paper set feeding device;
The apparatus is comprised of a discharge section 2, a delivery section 3 connected to the discharge section 2, and a cutting section 4 located above the delivery section 3 along the delivery direction of the set of sheets.

The discharge section 2 is located on the discharge end side of the feeder conveyor 20, and has a feeder conveyor 20 and a drop plate 21 that moves in a direction perpendicular to the delivery direction of the feeder conveyor 20. The paper set is discharged one set at a time by the drop plate 21 from the discharge port 22 corresponding to the thickness. In this discharge section 2, multiple sets of paper sets A, which have been printed, inspected in full size, and collated, are stacked with interleaf sheets interposed therebetween.
A sheet set A is stored in a standing position on the feeder conveyor 20 with its back secured with adhesive so that it can be separated, and the adhesive is removed by being pushed by the drop plate 21 as described above. Cut outlet 22
The paper sets are ejected one by one.

The delivery section 3 consists of a conveyor 31 having side rests 30 at predetermined intervals, and a guide 32 that is disposed opposite to each other across the width of the paper set via the conveyor 31. and then intermittently delivers it while aligning it with the side support 30 and guide 32.

The cutting section 4 consists of a cutting blade 40 located on the side of the backing section B of the paper set A, and a clamp 41 that can press the paper set, and is configured to move the paper set delivered by the delivery section 3. It is provided so that it can be moved up and down in response to the Then, the sheet set A delivered by the conveyor 31 of the delivery section 3 is received by a pair of front pads 42, and the clamp 41
After that, the cutting blade 40 descends to cut the stiffened portion B of the paper set A, and finish the paper set A into a predetermined shape.

The sheet set A that has been cut is delivered to the next processing step. For example, a holding device 5 that moves forward and backward in the delivery direction of the sheet set and clamps the sheet set is disposed on the exit side of the delivery section 3. The paper set A that has already been cut is held in place by the holding device 5, and is transferred onto a continuous conveyor 6 to a packaging device or the like, and each set of paper sheets is delivered to the next process. For example, as shown in FIG.
After the paper set A is clamped by a clamping device 5 that alternately enters the inside of the terminal end of the paper set A, the paper set A is moved backward and placed on the conveyor 6. As shown in Figure 3, a set of paper sheets is created by collating multiple sheets of paper after passing through a printing process a and a full-size inspection process b, and applying adhesive through the stacked sets of sheets. A collating back-stiffening step c in which the back-stiffening is separably performed, a cutting step d such as corner cutting, an inspection step e, and the paper set in which the back-stamped portion is cut into a predetermined shape by the feeding device 1 is transferred to a packaging machine. Processing process f, which is sent to a processing machine such as
After the label pasting process g, the paper sets are assembled so that they can be shipped.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of paper sets each consisting of a plurality of sheets of paper are stacked, the backs of each set of paper are stiffened so that they can be separated, and then each set of paper is separated from the ejection section. The paper set is then sent to the delivery department, where the back-stiffened part of the paper set is cut, and the paper set is sent to a processing machine such as a packaging machine. It has excellent practical effects, such as omitting the process of cutting the paper sets, which was previously required, and being able to send the paper sets to the processing machine without requiring human labor, saving labor in the work of creating paper sets. It is something that plays.
