The present invention relates to a stacker bundler that integrates and binds a signature conveyed from a printing apparatus.

Background Art A stacker bundler has been conventionally used as a device for accumulating and binding peaks discharged from a printing apparatus. As shown in FIG. 5, the stacker bundler 61 is a belt conveyor (conveyor) 63, a rolling roller 65, a flow splitter 67, and a small bundle accumulation arranged upstream and downstream. It consists of the apparatus 69 and the mass production apparatus 71, and processes the peak S as follows.

First, the peak S discharged from the printing apparatus (not shown) is continuously conveyed in an overlapped state by the belt conveyor 63 in the X direction in FIG. 5 and folded by passing through the rolling roller 65. After the line is trimmed, it is conveyed to the flow splitter 67. The flow splitting apparatus 67 has a roller 73 which is supported to flow freely in the vertical direction, and temporarily blocks the flow of the peak S in the roller 73 to space the flow of the peak S. Form. By this, the peak S is discharged | emitted downstream from the flow splitting apparatus 67 intermittently and discharged from the nip roller 75, and is integrated in the temporary accommodating plate 77 of the small batch-bundling apparatus 69. As shown in FIG.

Then, when the peak S is accumulated by a predetermined number of copies and a small amount of bundles is formed, the temporary receiving plate 77 moves backward from the temporary receiving position in the interval of the flow of the peak S, and the small amount of bundles is temporarily stored in the temporary receiving plate 77. ) Is moved to and replaced by an elevator 79 arranged below. The small amount bundle is lowered by the elevator 79 to the lower side of the small amount bundle accumulator 69, is pushed in the horizontal direction by the pusher 81, and is transferred to the turntable 83. Subsequently, if necessary, the fold line of the climax S is turned on the turntable 83 to the opposite position, and then sent to the mass production apparatus 71, and a small number of small batches are piled up and stacked. When it is bound.

By the way, the peak (S) has a variety of folded flyers or overlapping booklets, such as inserted in the newspaper, as shown in Figure 6 in the process of making the peak (S) in a bulk bundle by the stacker bundler, Cut the end orthogonal to the fold line at the peak (S) (hereinafter referred to as "side edge (S1)") and the end opposite to the fold line (hereinafter referred to as "rear edge (S2)") and the size of the peak There is a case to match. Thus, the apparatus shown in FIG. 7 was conventionally used in order to cut | disconnect both side edge part S1 and the trailing edge part S2 of the peak S. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, the peak S discharged | emitted from the printing apparatus is conveyed with one side edge S1 as a head, and passed through the 1st cutting device 85, and cut | disconnected the trailing edge S2. After that, the direction of movement is changed at right angles by the direction changing device 87. And the 2nd edge part S1 is cut | disconnected through the 2nd cutting device 89 in the state which made the fold line the head. The peak S in which both side edge parts S1 and the trailing edge part S2 are cut | disconnected is conveyed to the above-mentioned stacker bundler 61, and is integrated and bound.

However, in the above configuration, since two cutting devices 85 and 89 are arranged between the stacker bundler 61 and the printing apparatus, there is a problem that a very large installation space is required and the installation cost is high. In addition, since both side edge parts S1 and the trailing edge part S2 are cut | disconnected along the conveyance direction of the peak S as mentioned above, conveyance is carried out by the cutting | disconnection of both side edge parts S1 and the cutting of the trailing edge part S2. The direction of the peak S relative to the direction is 90 degrees different. For this reason, between the two cutting apparatuses 85 and 89, the direction changing apparatus 87 for necessarily changing the direction of the climax S is required, and there exists a problem that installation space becomes wider.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stacker bundler capable of cutting the trailing edge and the side edge of a peak without widening an installation space.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a conveying apparatus for conveying a peak at a fold line in a state of being overlapped in a horizontal direction, and temporarily blocks the flow of the peak conveyed on the conveying apparatus, thereby creating a gap in the peak flow.

Next, the operation of the stacker bundler configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the peak S discharged | emitted from the printing apparatus is conveyed to the 1st cutting device 3 via the rolling roller 65 in the state which made the folding line the head. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the peak S is rolled by the first and second rolling units 9 and 11, and the side edges S1 thereof by the main cutter 13 and the sub cutter 37. ) Is cut. The cut pieces of the cut side edges S1 are sucked by the suction duct 15 disposed downstream of the main cutter 13.

The peak S in which the side edge part S1 is cut by the 1st cutting device 3 passes through the flow splitting apparatus 67, and is integrated in the small batch bundle device 69. As shown in FIG. The peak S integrated in the small batch is moved from the temporary receiving plate 77 to the elevator 79, replaced, and then lowered, and then lowered with the elevator 79 upstream, that is, to the second cutting device 5 side. Is moved. As shown in FIG. 4, the climax S is arrange | positioned in the position which the rear edge part S2 protruded to the upstream side by the predetermined length L from the tooth surface of the cutter 45, and then the rolling plate 49 ) Is lowered and the upper surface of the small bundle is rolled. In this state, the cutter 45 moves upwards to cut the trailing edge S2 of the peak S by the length L. FIG. The cut pieces W of the cut back edge portion S2 drop into the trough portion 55 of the cut flake recovery device 53, and then the flake discharge plate 57 moves along the trough portion 55. Sweep to one end of the cylinder (55).

The small bundle of the peak S in which the trailing edge S2 is cut off is pushed by the pusher 81 to the turntable 83 (FIG. 1), and then conveyed to the mass bundle manufacturing apparatus 71 and predetermined bundle United.

As mentioned above, according to the stacker bundler 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the 1st and 2nd cutting devices 3 and 5 which cut | disconnect both side edge part S1 and the trailing edge part S2 of the peak S. ) Is built in, so that not only the original work of accumulation and binding of the peak S, but also the cutting of both side edges S1 and the trailing edge S2 of the peak S can be performed simultaneously. For this reason, the following outstanding effects are possible.

That is, since the dedicated cutting device provided outside the stacker bundler is unnecessary as in the conventional example, the installation space can be reduced in a factory or the like, and as a result, the installation cost can be reduced. In addition, since both side edge parts S1 and the trailing edge part S2 of the peak S are cut | disconnected without changing a direction along a conveyance direction by the 1st and 2nd cutting device, it is a direction change like a conventional example. The apparatus to carry out becomes unnecessary, and installation space can be made smaller. Due to this, the working path of the peak S is shortened, so that the work time can be shortened.

Moreover, in the 1st cutting device 3, since the edge S is cut | disconnected by the two cutters of the main cutter 13 and the sub cutter 37, the side edge part S1 of the peak S can be cut reliably. Can be. As described above, the sub cutter 37 is disposed at a position shifted upstream from the rotation axis of the main cutter 13, but the peak S cut by the side edge portion S1 is rolled up by the sub cutter 37. There is an effect that can prevent the lifting.

In the above embodiment, the positions of the cutters 13, 37, and 45 are fixed, but the position can be adjusted so that the size of the peak S can be changed. For example, the main cutter 13 and the sub cutter 37 of the 1st cutting device 3 can be moved in the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the peak S, and the cutting width of both side edge parts S1 is changed. The cutting width of the trailing edge S2 can be adjusted by adjusting the horizontal movement distance of the elevator 79.

Moreover, by operating only one of the cutting devices 3 and 5 as needed, only both side edge parts S1 or the trailing edge part S2 can be cut | disconnected, and the peak according to various requirements can be created. have. Moreover, when it is not necessary to adjust the magnitude | size of a peak, it can respond by stopping the cutting devices of both sides. Moreover, in the 1st cutting device 3, only one cutter may be operated, or only one side edge part S1 of the peak S may be cut | disconnected by providing a cutter only in one side.

In addition, although the horizontal moving mechanism 40 of the said embodiment moves the elevator 79 to a horizontal direction, and approaches the cutter 45 of the 2nd cutting device 5, the cutter 45 is an elevator 79 side. It can also be configured to approach. In addition to the above-described cam mechanism, the horizontal moving mechanism may be constituted by, for example, an air cylinder, a sub-motor, or the like.

As can be seen from the above description, according to the stacker bundler according to the present invention, the first and second cutting devices for cutting both side edge portions orthogonal to the fold line at the peak and the end portion (the trailing edge portion) opposite to the fold line are provided. Since it is built in, not only the original work of accumulating and binding a peak, but also cutting | disconnection of both side edges and a trailing edge of a peak can be performed simultaneously. Therefore, the dedicated cutting device provided outside the stacker bundler as in the conventional example becomes unnecessary, so that the installation space in a factory or the like can be reduced, and as a result, the installation cost can be reduced.

Further, by the first and second cutting devices, both side edges and the trailing edge of the peak are cut without changing the direction along the conveying direction, so that an apparatus for performing direction change as in the conventional example becomes unnecessary, and an installation space is provided. Can be made even smaller. Due to this, since the peak processing path is shortened, the work time can be shortened.
