Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document delivery device that efficiently delivers various documents to and from each office department as part of office automation.

Conventionally, the delivery of various documents between departments in an administrative department has generally relied on manual labor, which is currently inefficient. Additionally, some government offices, offices, etc. use document delivery devices that use pneumatic tube delivery methods to process documents, but this method only transports files in bulk. In addition, the air controller, pneumatic pipe, and other devices are complicated and bulky.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a document delivery device with a relatively simple configuration that can efficiently deliver various documents going back and forth between various administrative departments.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a linear motor primary stator, and 2 is a track made of U-shaped steel that is installed together with the primary stator 1 between each office department. 3 is a secondary side mover facing the primary side stator 1 through a gap g, and O4 is made of a conductor such as an aluminum plate, and o4 is for placing documents fixed on the upper part of the secondary side mover 3. A running roller 5a is provided on the lower side of the bottom in contact with the surface of the track 2 so that a predetermined empty PJg is maintained between the stator 1 and the movable element 3, Further, a guide roller 5b is provided in contact with the inner side of the track in the lateral direction so that the movable element 3 and the tray 4 do not come off to the left or right of the center of the track. Reference numeral 6 denotes a pedestal mounted on the floor or the like at an appropriate height, on which a track is laid. Next, in Fig. 2, ``e'' indicates the entire line of the track, and in the middle of it is station A-, where the trays for each office stop.

B, C, . . . are provided. Each station has an operation box for calling the tray and issuing the start command.
"l bl cl"... is installed, and by pressing a button on this operation box, a tray can be summoned or a delivery can be started.

Now, for example, when an empty tray 4 is stopped at station C, tray 4 is called to station A by a call command from operation box a at station A, loaded with documents, and delivered to the desired station by a start command. Ru. The tray stops at the desired delivery destination station because a photoelectric relay (not shown) is installed at each station.At the same time as a tray start command is given to the desired delivery destination station, the photoelectric relay only at the desired delivery destination station is activated. (at this time, the photoelectric relays at other stations do not work), and when tray 4 reaches the delivery destination station, the photoelectric relay is activated, the motor power is cut off, and tray 4 stops. There is. Furthermore, when a tray is empty and stopped at a station, a lamp will be displayed on each operation box at each station to indicate that the tray is empty, and when the tray is loaded with documents and is ready for the desired delivery. When you arrive at the destination station, you will be notified by chime. In this way, trays are moved back and forth between arbitrary stations (departments) and documents are delivered. In the example shown in the figure, the track is shown as straight or flat, but depending on the layout of each office department, it is also possible to install a curved track, or between the lower and upper floors of a building, etc. Delivery is also possible by providing a three-dimensional inclined track.

As described above, in the document delivery device according to the present invention, the tray is fixed to the mover of the linear motor. It has a relatively simple structure, has good electrical controllability, and has the excellent effect of being able to efficiently deliver a set of documents on a tray between arbitrary stations (departments).

Claims (1)

[Claims] The primary stator of the ground primary linear motor is installed together with the track between each office department, and a tray is fixed on top of the secondary mover that faces the primary stator with a gap in between. The tray of the secondary movable element is provided to be slidable on the orbit, and the tray of the secondary movable element is moved back and forth between arbitrary departments among the administrative departments by the driving attraction force of the moving magnetic field of the primary stator.
