Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a paper sheet supply control device that stops the supply of paper sheets in the previous stage according to the full state 11 of a temporary stacking section provided on the transport path of a mail automatic selection and stamping machine, for example. Regarding.

It is generally known that an automatic mail sorting and stamping machine is a device that separates regular mail and non-standard mail and puts a postmark on the stamp face of only regular mail. In this type of equipment, there is a temporary stacking section between the sorting mechanism and the stamping mechanism to absorb changes in the flow of mail.
A fa mechanism is provided. Conventionally, when it is detected that the temporary stacking section is full, mail f-), which is disposed upstream of the transport path, is switched to prohibit mail from entering the temporary stacking section.

As a result, paper sheets that are prohibited from entering the temporary stacking section are returned to the reshoot section, and unless the temporary stacking section is released from being full, the mail items will continue to circulate inside the sorting mechanism. Therefore, with conventional mail automatic selection and stamping devices, when the temporary stacking section is full for a long time, if the same mail passes through the sorting mechanism many times, there is a chance that the mail will become soiled or damaged. In addition to passing through the non-standard sorting mechanism many times, there is a problem that the chances of erroneous sorting increase.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a paper sheet supply control device that can prevent paper sheets from being soiled and damaged, and prevent paper sheets from being missorted. be.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show an automatic mail sorting and stamping machine. In other words, 1 is mail (paper sheets) group P,...
2 is a supply unit which conveys the mail groups P, . . . supplied on the feed table L diagonally upward; 3 is a supply unit which feeds the mail groups P, . . . while leveling them; - Non-standard-sized hard objects P with a specified thickness or more using a belt-type thickness sorting system.

4 #5 is a thickness sorting section that removes ..., non-standard size mail P with a predetermined width or more, width sorting section that removes ..., C is a group of mail P
, . . . temporarily stores the mail items P and sends them out one by one. 2 is the hard object sorting section that removes hard items from the mail group P. The mail P from the object detection section 7 is sorted so that it is conveyed together with the mail P from the thickness sorting section 3, or it is sorted to be conveyed to the paper/fa removal section 12, which will be described later. Dirt, 9
10 and 11 are conveyance paths, 10 and 11 are conveyor belts, 12 is a take-out section 97a that absorbs the flow of the supplied mail P, 13 is a temporary accumulation section in the buffer take-out section 12, and 14 is a temporary accumulation section 1
3, a fullness detector consisting of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, 15.16 a stamp detection section for detecting stamps, 17 a reversing section, and 18 an alignment section for aligning mail P. ,
1g is a stamping part, 20 is a direction changing part, 2, . . . are collecting parts. Incidentally, the above-mentioned serial number ridge 6 receives one rotation from a motor (not shown).

It is reported by Chi22. The above distribution y-to 5F
The rotation from a motor (not shown) is transmitted to the conveyor belt 10.11 by means of a conveyance path drive magnet and conveyor belt z4.

FIG. 3 shows only the main part of the electric circuit, and the output signal of the full detector 14 is supplied to the r-) magnet 23 via an amplifier 31.

The output signal of the full detector 14 is sent to the inverter circuit J2.
The output of the AND circuit 3J is supplied to one input terminal of the AND circuit 33 via the amplifier 34. Furthermore, the full detector 14
The output of the AND circuit J1 is supplied to one input terminal of the AND circuit 11 via the output signal line integrating circuit 3s and the inverter circuit 36, and the output of the AND circuit J1 is supplied to the series filter circuit 22 via the amplifier aSS. A drive signal from a control circuit (not shown) is supplied to the other input terminals of the AND circuits is and sr.

When the fullness detection signal is not output from the fullness detector 14, the yP circuit JJs3r is established, and the -number shift latch 22 is actuated and the conveyance path drive magnet 24 is excited. .

As a result, - the number of passes 6 and the conveyor belt 10.11
It seems to work fine. Further, when the fullness detector 14 detects the fullness, the good-humidity, )j3 is excited, and the dart 8 operates for distribution. Moreover, if the AND circuit 33 fails, the conveyance path drive magnet 24 is deenergized and the conveyance belts 10 and 11 are stopped.

Furthermore, if the full detection continues for more than a predetermined time, the output of the integrating circuit 35 causes the cyanide circuit 37 to fail.
Number of passes> The clutch 22 does not operate, and the number of passes 6 stops.

Next, 1 In such a configuration, FIGS. 4(a) to (d)
The operation will be explained with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG. For example, from the mail group P, . Thereafter, the width sorting sections 4 and 5 remove those having a predetermined width or more. Then, it is supplied to the 1 #7 sheet take-out section 12 via 8.

1 #7 Hardware pH taken out one by one from the removal unit 12
Postal item P detected by the stamp detection unit 15 and with a stamp detected
goes straight, the stamp is not detected, and Yukuni Hardware P is inverted part 1
Invert at 7. Thereafter, the straight or reversed mail P is aligned in the alignment section 18 and sent to the stamp detection section 1c.

Stamping, express delivery classification, etc. are performed according to the detection result of the stamp detection section 16, and the normal mail Pd direction conversion section 20 aligns the orientation and collects it in the normal accumulation section 21. Items with no stamps on them, postal items for which the postage is paid in arrears, postal items for which the postage is paid by the recipient, and postal items with incorrectly placed stamps are collected in the postage collection unit 211fC.

In such a state, when the mail P in the buffer takeout section 13 is full, if the full detector 14 detects that the mail is full, the dart magnet 23 is excited and the gate 8 is activated to distribute the mail. Can be switched. This is K, - Number of letters from 6 to 9. The supply of mail P to the border extraction section 12 is prohibited, and the mail P from the -number pile section 6 is combined with the mail P from the thickness sorting section 3 and is again supplied to the sorting mechanism. As mentioned above, when it is full, the AND circuit 33 is no longer established, so the conveyance path drive magnet 24 is deenergized, and the conveyance bell)
J O, J 1 Stop. As a result, the mail P between the conveyor belts 10 and 11 is not supplied to the buffer take-out section 12, so that the buffer take-out section 12 will not become full or more. , gate magnet, and gate 23 are deenergized, AND circuit 33 is established, and transport path drive magnet 24 is energized. As a result, the gate 8 is switched back to its original position, and the conveyor belts IO and 11 are operated. For this reason, the mail P from the several peaks σ is again supplied to the buffer take-out section 12. Therefore, when the full detection continues for a predetermined period of time, the AND circuit 37
will no longer hold true.

As a result, the temporary pick-up ring 22 is switched, and the - number-of-letter portion 6 is stopped. After that, when the full state is released, the dart magnet 23 is deenergized and the 1-AND circuit S3 is turned off.
is established and the transport path is driven! The magnet 24 is excited. This is K], the gate 8 is switched to its original position, and the conveyor belts 1o and 11 are operated. And the integral
Due to the output of the 4° circuit 35, the serial take-out shicra and chi 22 are activated, and the serial number ridge portion 6 begins to operate again.In this way, the full state of the 1st and fa removal portion 12 is immediately released. If it is not released immediately, after switching the sorting route 8, the mail from the number pile 6 is returned to its original conveyance path, and if it is not released immediately, after switching the sorting route 8, - Pressure is applied to stop the serial number crest 6. With this system, it is possible to reduce to the extreme the problem that conventionally, when the buffer takeout section remains full, the mail goes round and round inside the sorting mechanism, resulting in mail being soiled and damaged. In addition, the number of times the mail passes through the non-standard sorting mechanism can be minimized, preventing erroneous sorting, and the flow of mail such as unnecessarily accumulated mail in the sorting mechanism and clumping. It can also be prevented from inhibiting.

475- As detailed above, according to this invention, staining of paper sheets,
It is possible to provide a paper sheet supply control device that can prevent damage and prevent 1A sorting of paper sheets.
