Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a page addition/removal machine that automatically adds or removes additional pages of an addition/subtraction type book such as a law collection.

Conventionally, the addition/removal work on addition/subtraction type books has been left entirely to manual labor, which has been problematic in terms of speed and accuracy.

The content of addition/subtraction type books must be constantly updated and accurate, and this invention was made in view of these circumstances. It is designed to allow addition and subtraction operations to be performed.

This invention will be explained in detail below.

The present invention relates to a page addition/subtraction machine, and as shown in FIGS. While reading, the upper plates 10 and 20 are connected to the spring 11.
The addition/subtraction type book 13 and additional pages 23 set on the stands 12 and 22 which can be moved up and down via
A page reading device 16 consisting of a camera 14 and a video processing circuit 15 and a page reading device 26 consisting of a TV camera 24 and a video processing circuit 25 read the information, and the addition/subtraction data read by the character reading device 5 are placed at the positions of the addition/subtraction books 13 Page turning mechanism 1
7, and is transported to the processing table 40 or removal table 50 via the gate 31 on the conveyance path 30, and the arithmetic processing unit (CPU) 50 is activated according to a predetermined program, thereby automatically adding and subtracting table 2. Addition/subtraction type book 13 on the street
The unnecessary pages are removed to the removal table 50, and the additional pages 23 are transferred to the processing table 4.
This is inserted into the processed book 41 above.

The character reading device 5 and the page reading devices 16, 26 scan the images from the television cameras 3, 14° 24 with an electron beam in the video processing circuits 4, 15, 25, and read the numerical values of the corresponding addition/subtraction data, An ordinary reading device that reads numerical values indicating the page order of the corresponding page can be used, and the page feeding mechanisms 17 and 27 can be replaced by a suitable vacuum device (not shown).
A suction arm with a suction cup connected to the
It is possible to use a normal page feeding mechanism that attracts each sheet and sends it to each conveyance path.

Thus, the read data from the character reading device 5 is stored in the memory 61 in the CPU 60, the read data from the page reading devices 16 and 26 is also stored in the memories 62 and 63 in the CPU 60, and the page turning mechanism 17 is used to select the required page. via the conveyance path 30;
It is transported to the upper plate 42 of the processing table 40 via the gate 31 and transport paths 32 and 33.

At this time, the necessary pages are reversed at the bending part of the conveyance path 33 and placed on the upper plate 42 of the processing table 40 in page order.

The unnecessary pages are reversed through the conveyance path 30, gate 31, and conveyance path 34, and then conveyed to the upper plate 51 of the removal table 50.

Further, the additional page 23 is transferred to the conveyance path 35 via the page feed mechanism 27.
After passing through the conveyance path 33, the page is reversed and conveyed to the processing table 40, and the page conveyed to the processing table 40 is detected by the TV camera 43, processed by the image processing circuit 44, and then transferred to the CPU 60. The unnecessary page 54 stored in the memory 64 and transported to the removal table 50 is detected by the TV right camera 2, processed by the video processing circuit 53, and then stored in the memory 65 in the CPU 60.

Further, the CPU 60 is provided with an operation panel 66 for giving necessary operation commands, and
The upper plates 42 and 51 of the processing table 40 and the removal table 50 can be moved up and down by springs 45 and 55, respectively.

Here, an example of the addition/subtraction table 2 is shown in FIG. 3.

In such a configuration, first select the size of the book (for example, 85 edition, A4 edition) on which you want to perform addition/subtraction operations on the operation panel 6.
6, set the addition/subtraction type book 13 on the top plate 11 of the stand 12, set the additional page 23 on the top plate 20 of the stand 22, set the addition/subtraction table 2 as shown in FIG. Set to .

When the operation panel 66 is used to command the start of the addition/subtraction operation, the character reading device 5 reads the first column of the addition/subtraction table 2 and stores it in the memory 61, and operates the page turning mechanism 17 according to this read data to perform the addition/subtraction operation. The pages of the book 13 are sequentially sent to the conveyance path 30.

The conveyed pages are read by the page reading device 16 and stored in the memory 62, and the contents of the memory 61 are checked, and the necessary pages are passed through the gate 31 to the conveyance path 3.
After being sent to pages 2 and 33 and reversed, the removed page is sent to the processing table 40 via the gate 31 to the conveyance path 34, reversed, and then conveyed to the removal table 50, respectively.

In this case, the page sent to the processing table 40 is detected by the TV camera 43 and stored in the memory 64, and the page sent to the screen removal table 50 is detected by the TV right camera 2 and stored in the memory 65, and the page sent to the screen removal table 50 is detected by the TV right camera 2 and stored in the memory 64. It is checked whether the contents of the power and the power match.

Further, since the upper plate 11 of the stand 12 can be moved up and down by the spring 11, the upper surface of the book 13 will always be at a constant position even if the pages of the book 13 are removed.

The same applies to the table 22, the processing table 40 and the removal table 5.
The same applies to 0.

When it is necessary to insert the additional page 23 according to the contents of the memory 61, the page feed mechanism 27 is activated to transfer the additional page 23 to the conveying path 35, and after passing through the conveying path 33 and inverting it, The book is sent to a processing table 40 to generate a processed book 41.

When the addition/subtraction operations for the first column of the addition/subtraction table 2 are completed, the same addition/subtraction operations are sequentially performed for the next columns and subsequent columns, and all operations are completed.

In this way, a processed book 41 with unnecessary pages removed and additional pages 23 inserted in predetermined positions is generated on the processing table 40 in page order, and unnecessary pages are also stacked on the removal table 50 in page order. be done.

As described above, the page addition/removal machine of the present invention has the advantage of being able to perform addition/removal operations extremely quickly and accurately, and because all of the operations are performed automatically, complicated operations can be omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, addition and subtraction operations are performed sequentially while reading the addition and subtraction table, but it is also possible to read all the addition and subtraction tables first, and then perform addition and subtraction operations according to the stored contents.

In other words, it is possible to program addition/subtraction table data in advance and enter it into a computer, operate multiple addition/subtraction machines at the same time, and perform addition/subtraction work on many books at once.Furthermore, it is possible to add/remove many books at once using a central computer. Using the system, it is also possible to perform the adding/removing work by operating adding/removing machines installed in rural areas.

The present invention has been variously explained above with reference to preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is about.
