JPH05264330A - Measuring device for number of paper sheets for paper jogger - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable easy measurement of the number of sheets of paper by providing the title device simply for a paper jogger which is already manufactured and sold and has no mechanism for measuring the number of sheets of paper. CONSTITUTION:Support members 8 are fitted and fixed onto the lateral sides of a base board 5 provided at the lower end of a paper jogger 1. Load cells 10 are inserted into gaps between these support members 8 and the ground 11. The weight of the whole of the paper jogger 1 is weighed, together with that of paper 2 for jogging, by these load call 10 and compared with the weight of paper 2 in a prescribed number of sheets which is measured beforehand and serves as a reference. In this way, the number of sheets of the paper 2 can be measured.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to aligning the end faces of paper,
The present invention relates to a sheet counting device for a sheet aligner for uniformly aligning end faces.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a paper aligning machine is widely known in which a large number of papers are positioned on a protrusion table and aligned so that the end faces of the plurality of papers are uniformly aligned.

In order to measure the number of the large number of papers, it is general to manually measure or use a measuring machine for measuring the number of papers. However, in the case of manual labor, not only is it extremely laborious, but accuracy cannot be expected. Further, when using the measuring machine, it is necessary to place the paper on the measuring machine and measure it in the post-process of aligning the paper, which increases the work process by one process other than the paper alignment, which is preferable in terms of work. is not.

Therefore, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-22532, a load cell is interposed between the lower surface of the paper butt alignment table on which the paper for butt alignment is placed and the member of the paper butt alignment main body. An invention is known in which the weight of paper is measured to measure the number of paper sheets.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned invention is such that the weight of the paper can be weighed and the number of the paper can be measured while the paper is placed on the paper aligner. It has the advantage that the number of sheets can be measured quickly and easily as compared with the case where the number of sheets is measured with a dedicated measuring machine.

However, since the conventional method is a method of incorporating the load cell in the inside of the paper aligner, it is possible to install a weighing mechanism for the number of papers in a newly produced paper aligner. However, it cannot be used for a conventional paper aligning machine that does not have a mechanism for counting the number of paper sheets.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can be easily installed in a paper sorting machine which is already manufactured and sold and which does not have a paper number counting mechanism to easily measure the number of paper sheets. It was made possible.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, in the first invention, in the first invention, a receiving member is attached and fixed to the side surface of the substrate based on the lower end of the paper sorter, A load cell is inserted in the space between the receiving member and the ground, and the weight of the entire paper aligning machine is measured together with the paper for butt alignment by this load cell, and the number of papers is measured.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the receiving portion is formed by providing the placement portion of the paper sorter on the upper surface, and the load cell is inserted between the lower surface of the outer peripheral portion of the receiving member and the ground. With this load cell, the weight of the entire sheet aligning machine placed on the placing portion of the receiving member is weighed together with the paper for butt aligning, and the number of sheets is measured.

[0010]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, in the first invention, when the paper sorter is placed on the ground such as the floor, the lower end of the load cell comes into contact with the ground.
However, the weight of the paper aligner is concentrated only on the load cell without the car for moving the paper aligner, the screw rod for stabilization, etc. coming into contact with the gland.

In this state, the quantity weighed by the load cell is only the weight of the paper aligning machine, but if the amount of paper to be aligned is placed on the upper surface of the paper aligning table, this paper The weight is measured by the load cell along with the paper sorter.

Therefore, the weight of the paper can be measured by obtaining the difference between the weight of the paper aligner and the weight after the paper is placed. Further, the weight of the paper sorter may be displayed on the load cell as zero and only the weight of the paper may be displayed. Then, if a predetermined number of standard papers are weighed in advance, by comparing the weight of the entire paper with the standard numerical value, how many papers are placed on the upper surface of the paper alignment table, It can be easily measured.

In the load cell, the receiving member is attached and fixed to the side surface of the substrate provided at the lower end of the paper sorter by an appropriate method such as screwing or welding, and the load cell is inserted into the space between the receiving member and the ground. Therefore, it is possible to easily install the existing paper sorter. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a paper sorting machine which is installed in an existing paper sorting machine and has an inexpensive and economical sheet number measuring device.

Further, in the second invention, a paper aligner is
It is possible to measure the weight of the paper sorter and the paper simply by placing it on the receiving part of the receiving member. Weigh the paper without special processing on the existing paper aligner, and it is an inexpensive and economical number of sheets. It is possible to obtain a paper sorting machine having a measuring device.
