In addition to this method, a known height adjustment device capable of adjusting the height of the print input unit 90 vertically may be used.

The operation of the automatic printing material input system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail as follows.

First, when the operation of the automatic printing apparatus is started, the conveyor 1 for transferring the distribution box 10 is driven under the control of the conveyor controller 100 to transfer the distribution box 10 in a predetermined direction.

In a state in which the distribution box 10 is transferred to the conveyor 1, the box information reading unit 20 located at a predetermined position of the conveyor 1, when the distribution box 10 passes at its own position, the distribution box 10 A tag (barcode) attached or written on) is read using a barcode reader (BCR), and the read distribution box information (eg, ID) is transmitted to the distribution management server 200. Logistics box information is transmitted through a set communication method.

When the distribution box information (ID) is received, the distribution management server 200 searches a database and extracts print information corresponding to the distribution box information. Then, the extracted print information is transmitted to the first communication unit 51 through TCP/IP communication. The first communication unit 51 transmits the received print information to the control unit 50.

When the print information is received, the control unit 50 stores the print information in the internal memory and transmits the print information to the printer 60 through the communication unit 52 to perform printing.

The printer 60 prints print information on a predetermined sheet of paper according to the print control of the control unit 50 and transfers the printed printed material to the print transfer unit 80.

The print transfer unit 80 supplies the print delivered from the printer 60 to the feeder 72b through the stacker 72a and temporarily waits. Here, the printed matter is transferred to a temporary standby position using a stacker motor and a feeder motor, which are the driving unit 71, and waits.

When the printed matter waits at the temporary standby position, the stacking sensor detects it and transmits it to the print transfer control unit 40. When a detection signal indicating that a print is waiting is transmitted, the print transfer control unit 40 generates print waiting information and transmits the print waiting information to the control unit 50 through the second communication unit 52. Here, the print standby information may include print identification information (ID). Print identification information (ID) refers to the unique information of the distribution box.

In the state in which the printed matter is waiting in the temporary standby position as described above, the conveyor 1 continuously operates without interruption under the control of the conveyor controller 100 to continuously transfer the distribution box 10 in the moving direction.

When the distribution box 10 passes through the box information reading unit 20 by the conveyor 1, the distribution box detection unit installed before a certain distance of the print input unit 90 based on the moving direction of the conveyor 1 At 30, the distribution box 10 is detected. Here, the predetermined distance is preferably set in consideration of the moving speed of the conveyor 1, the print verification time, the time during which the print is transferred from the temporary standby position to the print input unit 90, and the data processing time.

When the distribution box detection unit 30 detects the distribution box 10, the distribution box detection information is transmitted to the conveyor control unit 100. When the distribution box detection information is received, the conveyor control unit 100 transmits box arrival information indicating that the distribution box has reached a predetermined position of the distribution box detection unit 30 to the control unit 50 through the first communication unit 51. At this time, the conveyor control unit 100 and the distribution management server 200 communicate with each other through the control unit 50 and the first communication unit 51, and receive the distribution box identification information (ID) that has reached a predetermined position. ). Here, the distribution box identification information (ID) may be confirmed using time information when the distribution box 10 passing through the box information reading unit 20 reaches the distribution box detection unit 30. That is, if the distribution box detection unit 30 detects the distribution box at a predetermined time from the time when the box information is read by the box information reading unit 20, the distribution box identification information (ID) can be easily known.

The control unit 50 receiving the distribution box identification information (ID) compares the print identification information currently waiting in the print transfer unit 80 transmitted through the print transfer control unit 40 through the second communication unit 52 To check if they match. That is, it is verified whether the printed matter put into the distribution box 10 is correct.

As a result of the verification, if the identification information of the printed matter on standby and the identification information of the distribution box match, the print transfer command is transmitted to the print transfer control unit 40 through the second communication unit 52. On the contrary, if the distribution box identification information and the identification information of the printed material printed by the printer 60 do not match, the printed material collection command is transmitted to the printed material transfer control unit 40 through the second communication unit 52.

When the print transfer control unit 40 receives the print transfer command from the control unit 50, it transmits the print transfer command to the print transfer unit 80. Receiving the print transfer command, the print transfer unit 80 transfers the temporarily waiting print to the print input unit 90 by using a feeder motor.

The printed material input unit 90 inserts the supplied printed material into the distribution box 10 in a free fall method.

In addition, when the print transfer control unit 40 receives a print recovery command from the control unit 50, the print transfer control unit 40 transmits the print recovery command to the print transfer unit 80. Receiving the print retrieval command, the print transfer unit 80 collects the prints waiting on the print transfer path by using the rejector 72c. In the print recovery method, prints can be easily recovered by changing the print transfer path from the normal path to the recovery path.

As described above, according to the present invention, by pre-verifying the printed matter to be put into the distribution box 10, it is possible to prevent a printed matter input error, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

On the other hand, as another feature of the present invention, by optimally adjusting the height of the print input unit 90 according to the height of the distribution box 10, it is possible to accurately input the printed material into the distribution box 10.

For example, the control unit 50 extracts the distribution box height information included in the print information received from the distribution management server 200 before inserting the printed material, and according to the extracted distribution box height information, the printed material input unit 90 Adjust the height of ). That is, the height of the current print input unit 90 can be known through the previous height control information, and it is checked whether the currently set height is appropriate using the extracted height information of the distribution box. As a result of the above check, if the height of the transported logistics box 10 is the same as the height of the previous logistics box, the current state is maintained, and the height of the transported logistics box 10 is different from the height of the previous logistics box. If necessary, a height adjustment value set in advance is extracted from the internal memory and the height adjustment data is transmitted to the print input unit 90. The print input part 90 adjusts the height of the print input part according to the height adjustment data by using a known height adjusting device capable of adjusting the height of the print input part vertically. Here, only the height of the print input portion may be separately adjusted or the overall height of the print input portion 90 may be adjusted. The height adjustment unit may be implemented as a rod that is connected to a motor that is a driving means and a motor shaft to adjust the height by moving a print input part or a print input device up and down.

Meanwhile, as another feature of the present invention, the control unit 50 interlocks with the printer 60 and the print transfer control unit 40 in real time or periodically through the second communication unit 52 to provide status information (toner Information, paper information, etc.) and status information of the print transfer unit 80 (print waiting status, jam, print feeding status, reject status, etc.), and obtained status information of the printer 60 and print transfer unit 80 ) And transmits the status information to the distribution management server 200. Status information of the printer 60 is obtained through a printer sensor, and status information of the print transfer unit 80 is obtained by using a feeding sensor, a stacking sensor, an ejecting sensor, and the like.

The control unit 50 analyzes the state information of the printer and the state information of the print transfer device, and if it is in an abnormal state (toner shortage, paper shortage, print input impossible situation, etc.), the first communication unit 51 communicates with PLC through PLC. The conveyor control unit 100 transmits a conveyor stop command. In response to this operation stop command, the conveyor control unit 100 stops the operation of the conveyor 1 through the conveyor driving unit 101. When the operation of the stopped conveyor 1 changes to a normal state in the future, the conveyor control unit 100 operates the conveyor driving unit 101 again in accordance with an operation command of the control unit 50 to restart the conveyor 1. Operate normally.

On the other hand, as another feature of the present invention, it is possible to automatically and efficiently insert printed materials by using a plurality of document input devices.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, one document input device (document feeder) is the same as that of FIG. 1, and a plurality of other document input devices 300 are interlocked thereto in a parallel form to automatically transfer printed matter to the distribution box. It can be put in.

In FIG. 5, it has been described that two document input devices are used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to automatically insert a printed matter into the distribution box by interlocking more document input devices. In the present invention, for convenience of explanation, two document input devices are used as an example.

In Fig. 5, reference numeral 303 denotes a printer, 302 denotes a print transfer unit 302, and 301 denotes a print input unit. Here, the print input unit 90 refers to a first print unit input unit, and the print unit input unit 301 refers to a second print unit input unit.

When the printed material is put into the distribution box 10, the control unit 50 uses the second communication unit 52 to control the print transfer control unit 40, and the first and second printed material input units 90, 301 ) Is alternately controlled to put the printed material into the distribution box 10. That is, firstly, a printed matter is put into the first printed material input unit 90, and secondly, a printed material is put into the second printed material input unit 90.

In addition, the control unit 50 interlocks with the print transfer control unit 40 to check whether the first and second print input units 90 and 301 have a paper or not. Subsequently, the paper or the printed matter in which the fault has occurred is stopped, and only the normal printed material inlet is switched to the emergency mode for operation.

As another feature of the present invention, when the distribution box is transferred in a group unit, it is possible to efficiently control the input of printed matter.

For example, when the distribution box is transferred in a group unit (eg, 8 units), the control unit 50 receives the group unit distribution box print information, and simultaneously prints a printout through the two printers 60 and 303 Print. Subsequently, by controlling the first and second printed matter input units 90 and 301 alternately, printed matter can be quickly put into the distribution box of the group unit.

In the case of inputting prints using two print input units, each print input unit is alternately controlled in a process of waiting and input, so that the print input time can be shortened without stopping compared to using a single print input device.

As described above, the present invention can shorten the total logistics processing time by automatically inserting the printed matter into the distribution box during transportation without stopping the distribution box transferred through the conveyor. In addition, printing processing time can be shortened by printing printed matter while the distribution box is being transported through the conveyor, and the height of the printed material input device is automatically changed according to the height of the distribution box, so that the printed material is optimally inserted into the distribution box without errors. You can do it.
