この考案は、複写機に接続し、搬送手段により送られる
用紙を多数の収納ビンに、移動可能な偏向ユニットを用
いて分配し、用紙の分類を行うソーターの収納ビン内に
おける用紙の紙揃え機構に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a storage bin for a sorter that is connected to a copying machine and uses a movable deflection unit to distribute paper sent by a conveying means into a number of storage bins and to classify the paper. This invention relates to a paper alignment mechanism for paper in a paper machine.
偏向ユニットの排出ロ−ラがら収納ビン内に排出される
用紙は相当の速度で排出されるため、排出ロ−ラから離
脱した後も慣性で前進し、積重ねられた用紙束が揃わず
、取出しが困難であったり、取出した後揃えるのに手間
が掛ったりする難点がある。The paper ejected into the storage bin by the ejection roller of the deflection unit is ejected at a considerable speed, so even after it leaves the ejection roller, it moves forward due to inertia. There are disadvantages in that it is difficult to remove the paper, and it takes time and effort to align the paper after taking it out.
従来収納ビン内に排出された用紙を揃える手段としては
、収納ビンを前上りに傾斜させて、前方まで到達した用
紙を自重で収納ビン底板上を滑り戻らせて、用紙後端を
収納ビン後端壁に当接させて次々に送り込まれる用紙を
揃えるようにしていた。Conventionally, the method of aligning the sheets ejected into the storage bin is to tilt the storage bin upwards in the front, and then the paper that has reached the front slides back on the bottom plate of the storage bin under its own weight, and the trailing edge of the paper is placed behind the storage bin. The paper sheets fed in one after another were aligned by being brought into contact with the end wall.
しかし、用紙が静電気を帯電している場合は、その下の
用紙と反撥して浮上ったり吸着したりして真直に後方に
滑り降りず左右方向に移動して横方向の不揃いを生ずる
こともしばしばある。However, if the paper is charged with static electricity, it will repel the paper underneath, float up or stick to it, and instead of sliding straight down backwards, it will move left and right, often resulting in lateral misalignment. be.
これを解決する手段として、収納ビンの前後方向及び左
右方向の傾斜を機械的に変化させて用紙を収納ビン底板
上を滑らせて収納ビンの後端壁及び一方の側壁に倣わせ

に複雑な機構を必要とし、装置の大型化及びコストの上
昇がさけられず、又、各サイズに応じた調整を自動的に
行う装置を必要としたり、手動で行う場合はがなりの?
数を要する等の欠点がある。As a means to solve this problem, we mechanically changed the inclination of the storage bin in the front-rear and left-right directions, so that the paper could slide on the bottom plate of the storage bin and follow the rear end wall and one side wall of the storage bin. However, this requires a complicated mechanism, which inevitably increases the size and cost of the device, and also requires a device that automatically adjusts according to each size. , what if I do it manually?
There are disadvantages such as the need for a large number of units.
この考案は、従来の紙揃え機構の上述の問題点にかんが
み、収納ビン内に次々に排出される用紙を、用紙のサイ
ズや帯電の有無にかかわりなく、簡単な機構で手数を要
することなく前後左右を揃えることのできる紙揃え機構
を提供することを目的とする。In view of the above-mentioned problems of conventional paper alignment mechanisms, this idea allows the paper to be ejected one after another into the storage bin to be moved forward and backward without any trouble using a simple mechanism, regardless of the size of the paper or whether it is charged or not. To provide a paper alignment mechanism capable of aligning left and right sides.

第2図に示す如く、各収納ビン1には操作者から見て奥
側の側面近傍の底板1aに設けた段付ネジ7を軸として
レバー8が、底板1aに沿って回動自在に軸支されてい
る。As shown in FIG. 2, each storage bin 1 has a lever 8 that is rotatably pivoted along the bottom plate 1a around a stepped screw 7 provided on the bottom plate 1a near the back side when viewed from the operator. supported.
レバー8の先端にはエンドプレート (紙揃え部材)9
が回動自在に取付けられている。There is an end plate (paper alignment member) 9 at the tip of the lever 8.
is rotatably mounted.
このレバー8及びエンドプレート9の取付方の詳細は第
3図及び第4図に詳細に示す。Details of how to attach the lever 8 and the end plate 9 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
エンドプレート9は収納ビン底板1aに明けられた逃げ
孔1bを貫通して収納ビン底板1aより上方に突出し、
逃げ孔1bの範囲内を自由に揺動できるようになってい
る。The end plate 9 passes through an escape hole 1b formed in the storage bin bottom plate 1a and projects upward from the storage bin bottom plate 1a.
It is designed to be able to swing freely within the range of the escape hole 1b.
逃げ孔1bの位置及び形状並びに軸7との位置関係は第
6図に示す如く、逃げ孔の後縁は最少サイズの用紙の後
端を収納ビンの後端壁1dに当接させて載置した時の用
紙の前縁の位置6aよりやや後方とし、逃げ孔1bの前
縁は収納ビンの前端壁1eの極力接近して設けるものと
する。The position and shape of the escape hole 1b and its positional relationship with the shaft 7 are as shown in FIG. The leading edge of the escape hole 1b shall be provided as close as possible to the front end wall 1e of the storage bin.
又レバー8の揺動軸7の位置は操作者から見て奥側の収
納ビン側板に接近し、逃げ孔の後縁の延長線よりやや前
方に設けられている。Further, the swing shaft 7 of the lever 8 is positioned close to the storage bin side plate on the back side when viewed from the operator, and slightly forward of the extension line of the rear edge of the escape hole.
したがって、レバー8が軸7を中心に底板1aに沿って
揺動した場合、エンドプレート9は軸7を中心として逃
げ孔1bの範囲内で円弧状の運動をし、最前端の位置9
bより後退するに従って左右方向に手前側に最大Sだけ
移動する。Therefore, when the lever 8 swings along the bottom plate 1a around the shaft 7, the end plate 9 moves in an arc around the shaft 7 within the range of the escape hole 1b, and the end plate 9 moves in an arc shape around the shaft 7, and the end plate 9 moves in an arc shape around the shaft 7, and the end plate 9 moves in an arc shape around the shaft 7.
As it moves backward from b, it moves forward in the left-right direction by the maximum amount S.
逃げ7L1bの左右の縁はエンドプレート9のこの運動

き1Cが設けられている。The left and right edges of the relief 7L1b are provided in an arc shape at a position that does not impede this movement of the end plate 9.A notch 1C for taking out paper is provided on the front side edge of the storage bin bottom plate 1a. ing.
又、第5図に示す如く収納ビン手前側側面に近接してソ
ーターの前面ドア10が設けられており、排出ロ−ラ対
5より収納ビン1に排出される用紙6の手前側の側縁と
前面ドア10の内面との間隔はSよりもやや少ないS′
になるように調整されている。Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a front door 10 of the sorter is provided close to the front side of the storage bin, and the front side edge of the paper 6 discharged from the pair of discharge rollers 5 into the storage bin 1 is closed. The distance between S and the inner surface of the front door 10 is S', which is slightly smaller than S.
has been adjusted to be.
この装置は以上の如く構戊されているので、排出ロ−ラ
対5より排出された用紙6はエンドプレート9に当接し
、これを進行方向に押しながら前進し、用紙6が排紙ロ
ーラ対5より離脱すれば用紙の進行方向への力は慣性だ
けになり摩擦力等によって漸次弱まりやがて停止する。Since this device is constructed as described above, the paper 6 ejected from the ejection roller pair 5 comes into contact with the end plate 9 and moves forward while pushing it in the direction of travel, so that the paper 6 is delivered to the ejection roller pair. 5, the force in the advancing direction of the paper becomes only inertia, which gradually weakens due to frictional force and eventually stops.
収納ビン底板1aは前上りに傾斜しているので、エンジ
ンプレート9及びレバー8は自重により、軸7を中心に
回動して用紙6の後方に押し戻す力が常に働いており、
エンドプレート9は用紙6の前縁に沿って平行移動しな
がら用紙6をその後端が収納ビンの後端壁1dに当接す
るまで押し戻す。Since the storage bin bottom plate 1a is tilted upward in the front, the engine plate 9 and the lever 8 rotate around the shaft 7 due to their own weight, and a force is constantly acting to push the paper 6 back.
The end plate 9 pushes back the paper 6 while moving in parallel along the front edge of the paper 6 until the rear end abuts against the rear end wall 1d of the storage bin.
この際、エンドプレート9は第6図に示す如く軸7を中
心に円弧運動をするので、エンドプレート9と用紙6の
前縁との摩擦により、用紙6は後退すると同時に手前側
へも距離Sだけ移動しようとし、前面ドア10の内面に
当接して之に倣い、かくして前後左右とも揃えることが
できる。At this time, the end plate 9 moves in an arc around the shaft 7 as shown in FIG. 6, so the friction between the end plate 9 and the front edge of the paper 6 causes the paper 6 to retreat and at the same time move forward a distance S. The front door 10 attempts to move as much as possible, comes into contact with the inner surface of the front door 10, and follows this pattern, thus aligning the front, rear, left, and right directions.
用紙のサイズが変化した場合、エンドプレート9に押戻
されて用紙の前縁が落着く位置は異るが、第6図より明
らかな如く、その付近のエンドプレート端部の軌跡は前
後位置が大きく変化しても左右方向の位置は殆んど変化
しない故、用紙のサイズにかかわりなく、前面ドアの内
面により用紙の側端を揃えることができる。When the size of the paper changes, the position at which the leading edge of the paper settles after being pushed back by the end plate 9 differs, but as is clear from FIG. Since the position in the left and right direction hardly changes even if there is a large change, the side edges of the paper can be aligned with the inner surface of the front door, regardless of the size of the paper.

ねられていることと相まって、収納ビン内の用紙の収納
状態の視認に極めて便利である。In addition, if a transparent material such as synthetic resin or glass is used for all or a required part of the front door, the sides of the sheets arranged on the storage bin will be in contact with the inner surface of the glass, etc. of the front door and overlapped. This makes it extremely convenient to visually check the storage status of the paper in the storage bin.
また前面ドアの開閉と複写機及びソーターの駆動電源の
大切を連動させ、複写機及びソーターの電源を切らなけ

誤動作を防止することができる。In addition, the opening and closing of the front door is linked with the drive power of the copying machine and sorter, so that the front door will not open unless the copying machine and sorter are turned off, and the power of the copying machine and sorter will not be turned on unless the front door is closed. By disabling the paper from entering the machine and making it inoperable, you can prevent malfunctions such as paper being ejected into the storage bin with the door open and falling out of the machine or being lost.
又、前面ドアの開閉操作により自動的に複写機及びソー
ターの電源を入切するようにしてもよい。Further, the copying machine and the sorter may be automatically turned on and off by opening and closing the front door.
