The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiments. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing the overall configuration of a roll-feeding type enclosing and sealing apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a rolled-up data form, and 2 is a first roll supply means to which the data form 1 is attached. First
1. There are a plurality of roll supply means 2 of FIG. 1, and in the example of FIG.
In addition, each is composed of 2 stations and 4 stations in total. Reference numeral 4 denotes a roll-shaped envelope foam, which is attached to the second roll supply means 5. Reference numeral 6 is a folding means attached to the rear stage of the first roll supply means 2, 7 is a stacking means installed further to the rear stage of the folding means 6, 8 is an enclosing and sealing means, and 9 is a discharge conveyor.

In the above structure, details of each part will be described. The number of pages per roll of the roll-up data form 1 is 70k depending on the paper thickness and the top-bottom size of the page.
In the case of g / 46, it becomes about 40,000 pages. Since the number of pages per box of a normal folded continuous data form is about 2000 under the same conditions, the wound data form 1 is an extremely long continuous data form of about 20 times. There is. The same applies to the enclosed item 3 and the envelope form 4. Therefore, by supplying the material in a rolled-up form, it is possible to greatly reduce the time and effort required for replacement work and the downtime of the device associated with the work. The rolled-up data form 1 is pre-printed so that it can be used as a unit data form after cutting, and has perforations for cutting, perforations for folding,
It is possible to use a product obtained by winding up a continuous paper that has been subjected to processing such as a margin fall for feeding. Further, even if not all of the processing has been performed, according to the attached processing function of the roll supply type enclosing and sealing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to perform processing using it.

The first roll supply means 2 has at least a mechanism for supporting the wound dataform 1 on a shaft, a mechanism for applying a rotation brake to the shaft, a mechanism for transferring the unwound dataform 1, and a transfer amount. There is a mechanism that synchronizes with the entire operation of the roll supply type enclosing and sealing device. Details of the first roll supply means 2 will be described later.

The rolled-up enclosure 3 is to be sealed together with the data form 1 in an envelope. The enclosure 3 reads a bar code mark or the like written on the data form 1 to form a plurality of pieces. It is possible to enclose and seal a predetermined number of items selected from a certain enclosed item 3. The data form 1 and the enclosure 3 are supplied to the folding means 6 by the first roll supply means 2. The folding means 6 has a cutting mechanism, a folding mechanism, and a supply mechanism. The supplied dataform 1 and the enclosed matter 3 are cut at a predetermined position to become a unit dataform 1 and one enclosed matter 3.

For example, if the data form 1 is a continuous paper that has been pre-printed and has undergone processing such as perforations for cutting, perforations for folding, margin fall for feeding, etc., Burster The data form 1 is cut by a part, and the part where the margin fall for feeding is applied is cut off. At that time, the barcode on the data form 1 is read. Next, the cut form is folded in two or three by a paper folding machine.

The data form 1 is usually identified by a number corresponding to the so-called name identification number, which is a collection of a plurality of sheet pieces sent to the same person. According to the instruction of the read barcode, one to several forms are identified. After that, the folded data form 1 and the enclosed material 3 are supplied to the stacking means 7 at the same timing in the shutter portion of the supply mechanism. Since the enclosed items 3 are sent to everyone in common with respect to the data form 1, a predetermined number of sheets are accumulated regardless of the bar code and are supplied to the stacking unit 7.

The enclosing / sealing means 8 has a cutting mechanism, a folding mechanism, a pressure bonding mechanism, a reversing supply mechanism, an envelope conveying conveyor, an opening encapsulating mechanism, a gluing sealing mechanism, and the like.
First, the continuous envelope foam supplied from the second roll supply means 8 is cut at the burster part. If there is a margin fall part for sending, it is removed. Next, the envelope form is folded along the transfer direction so as to be folded in three, and the left and right sides of the envelope form are sealed by a crimping mechanism.
That is, at this time, the envelope form is three-way sealed, and is a so-called envelope. The envelope sealed by the reversing supply mechanism is inverted by 180 degrees, and is supplied to the envelope transporting conveyor in such a direction that the tongue portion (flap) for sealing is downward.

Although the method of forming an envelope from the continuous envelope foam supplied from the second roll supply means 8 has been described above, a window opening envelope can be supplied without forming an envelope. After opening the envelope by the opening and closing mechanism and matching the barcode of the envelope with the barcode of the inclusion,

7 is a support shaft, 28 is a drive roll, 29 is a nip roll, 30 is a loop detecting means, 31 is a guide roll, 32
Is a pressing roller, and 33 is a loop.

In the above structure, the wound data form 1 is rotatably attached to the support shaft 27 of the roll supply means. The support shaft 27 is supported by the frame A25 of the roll supply means, and the support shaft 27 is provided with a brake mechanism such as a powder brake for applying a brake torque to the shaft or a motor for generating a reverse rotation torque. . The wound data form 1 is prevented from being unwound by this brake mechanism. One end of the dataform 1 is sandwiched by a drive roll 28 and a nip roll 29 which are rotatably supported by the frame B26. The rotation of the drive roll 28 unwinds the dataform 1 to form a loop 33, and then an external force is applied. It is sandwiched between a guide roll 31 and a pressing roller 32 supported by a frame B26 so as to rotate freely, passes between them, and is supplied to a folding unit 6 or a collating unit 10, which is the next unit.

The folding means 6 or the collating means 10 of the next unit are driven independently of this roll feeding means, and the roll feeding means need not feed the required amount of the dataform 1 when needed. is there. The resistance force acting on the dataform 1 by the guide roll 31 and the pressing roller 32 is small, and the folding means 6 or the collating means 10 of the next unit can receive the dataform 1 with a slight resistance force. On the other hand, the guide roll 31 and the pressing roller 32 can hold the loop 33 of the data form 1 with a slight resistance force.

The loop detection means 30 is installed in the frame B26 and can detect the height (the amount of looseness) of the tip of the loop 33, and the detection signal controls the loop 33. For example, the height of the tip of the loop 33 is
It can be detected and controlled by sensors attached at two positions, a low position and a high position. That is, when the data form 1 is supplied to the next unit through the guide roll 31 and the sensor at the higher position does not detect the loop 33, the drive roller 28 is rotationally driven to send out the data form 1 and the loop 33 is formed. The rotational drive is stopped when the sensor at the lower position lowers (raises) the height of the tip of the loop 33 and detects the loop 33. The drive roller 28 is stopped as long as the sensor at the high position detects the loop 33. As a sensor that can be used for such a purpose, detection is performed by the difference between the amount of received light when the projected light is reflected by the dataform 1 and the amount of received light when the dataform 1 does not exist and no reflection occurs. Various well-known sensors such as an optical method can be used.

As described above, in the roll supplying means shown in FIG. 2, the folding means 6 and the collating means 10 of the next unit are used.
It is possible to supply the dataform 1 with the transfer amount required by the above and with a very small tension. In the roll supply means shown in FIG. 2, the frame is composed of two frames, frame A25 and frame B26, and these frames can be separated, and a processing unit or the like can be added between these frames. it can.

In the roll supply type enclosing and sealing apparatus of the present invention, it has already been described that the roll supplying means is configured to follow the operation speed of the enclosing and enclosing means regardless of the operating speed. In the present invention, even when the processing unit 34 is added, it is configured to follow up regardless of the operating speed of the enclosing and sealing means.

In FIG. 5, the front part of the processing unit 34 is a processing part for performing a predetermined process on the continuous foam, and the rear part is a storage 35 for storing the processed continuous foam. The storage 35 is a plurality of fixed rolls 36 rotatably fixed to the frame of the processing unit.
And a movable roll 37 that is installed so as to face the fixed rolls 36 and that can move in parallel to change the facing distance. In the storage 35,
The continuous foam sequentially reciprocates between a plurality of fixed rolls 36 and a plurality of movable rolls 37 and is supplied to the drive roll 28 and the nip roll 29 of the frame B26. In the example of FIG. 5, the storage 35 is composed of three fixed rolls 36 and two movable rolls 37, and the continuous foam makes two reciprocations between the fixed roll 36 and the movable roll 37.

A static load due to gravity acts on the movable roll 37, and the static load always exerts a constant tension on the continuous foam. The position of the movable roll 37 that moves up and down is detected by the sensor. Since the constituent operation can be performed in the same manner as the constituent operation of the loop 33 tip detection described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted here. Data form 1 is storage 3
5 is supplied to the drive roll 28 and the sensor at a high position stops detecting the movable roll 37,
The processing unit of the processing unit 34 is driven and the storage 35 is operated.
Then, the data form 1 is sent out to lower the height of the movable roll 37, and the driving is stopped when the sensor at the lower position detects the movable roll 37. Then, as long as the sensor at the high position detects the movable roll 37, the processing unit 3
The processing part of No. 4 is stopped.

Although the role of the loop 33 described above and the role of the storage 35 are similar, the main difference between these roles is that the loop 33 can store continuous foam, but the storage amount is not so large, rather. It is characterized in that it can be supplied to a continuous foam with almost no tension. Further, the storage 35 applies a certain amount of tension to the continuous foam, but is characterized in that the storage amount of the continuous foam is large. By combining the two, it is possible to provide the roll supply means 2 which has a large storage amount of continuous foam and hardly applies tension. By the roll supply means 2 as described above, it is possible to add a very wide variety of processing units 34, and further, to supply a continuous foam which is easy to connect with a subsequent process and has stability and reliability. You can
