For example, the integrated space 11 may be a space in which the medium is temporarily accumulated for deposit and withdrawal, and is transferred from the deposit-and-withdrawal portions 2 and 3 to the medium storage portion 7 as shown in FIG. 1, Or the medium to be withdrawn from the medium storage unit 7 may be transported. The media stacking portion 10 may be any portion where the stacking space 11 in which the media is stacked is formed.

The medium contacting portion 20 is exposed to the side of the accumulating space 11 and is in contact with the medium. The static eliminator 30 is configured to apply a voltage to the medium contact portion 20 in order to remove the static electricity generated in the medium contacted with the medium contact portion 20. [ 2, the medium contacting portion 20 includes a stack guide 21, a bottom guide 22, an accumulating guide 23, an upper plate 24, a ground brush 25, a roller portion 26, (27).

2 and 3, the stack guide 21 pressurizes the medium integrated in the integrated space 11 to eject the medium in the integrated space 11, As shown in FIG.

For example, the medium introduced into the media inlet 13 is erected against the side wall of the stack guide 21 and can be integrated at the top of the bottom guide 22, which will be described later. As the stack guide 21 moves, The medium can be guided to the stack roller 28 side to be described later.

The stack guide 21 can be moved to retract in the direction away from the media inlet 13 of the accumulating space 11 to support the medium in order to accumulate the medium in the accumulating space 11. [

2 and 4, the electrostatic precipitator 30 is configured to apply a voltage to the stack guide 21 to remove static electricity generated in the media pressed or supported by the stack guide 21 .

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stack guide 21 may include a first body 201 and a first contact member 211. The first main body 201 may be configured to move within the accumulation space 11 for pressing or supporting the medium. A first contact member 211 may be provided on the outer surfaces of the first main body 201 on a surface facing the medium. The first contact member 211 may be disposed in contact with the medium.

For example, when the stack guide 21 is a single structure that is not in combination with the first contact member 211, the electrostatic precipitator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the stack guide 21, 5, when the first main body 201 and the first contact member 211 are combined, the electrostatic precipitator 30 applies a voltage to the first contact member 211, And may be configured to remove static electricity generated in the medium contacted with the contact member 211.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the media contact 20 may include a bottom guide 22. The bottom guide 22 is located on the bottom side of the accumulation space 11 and can be configured to support the underside of the medium when the medium is moved in the accumulation space 11. [

The medium introduced into the media inlet 13 is erected at the top of the bottom guide 22 and can be integrated in a manner leaning against the side wall of the stack guide 21.

2 and 4, the electrostatic precipitator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the bottom guide 22 to remove static electricity generated in the medium supported by the bottom guide 22 .

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the bottom guide 22 may include a second body 202 and a second contact member 222. The second body 202 may be located on the bottom side of the accumulating space 11 and may be configured to form the bottom surface of the accumulating space 11. [ A second contact member 222 may be provided on the outer surface of the second body 202 on the surface facing the medium. The second contact member 222 may be disposed in contact with the medium.

For example, the second body 202 may have a fitting hole corresponding to the outer surface of the second contact member 222 to insert the second contact member 222, and the second contact member 222 may be formed in the fitting hole. Lt; / RTI >

For example, in the case of a single structure in which the bottom guide 22 is not coupled, the static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the bottom guide 22, 2 body 202 and the second contact member 222, the electrostatic precipitator 30 applies a voltage to the second contact member 222 to apply a voltage to the second contact member 222 And may be configured to remove static electricity generated in the medium.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the media contact 20 can include an integration guide 23. The integration guide 23 can be arranged on the side of the medium outlet 12 of the integrated space 11 for discharging the medium in the integrated space 11 and configured to support and guide the medium to be discharged.

2 and 4, the static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the integration guide 23 to remove static electricity generated in the medium supported by the direct guide.

For example, the integration guide 23 may be arranged to be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the direction in which the medium is moved in the accumulating space 11, and to be in contact with the medium. For example, the integration guide 23 may be formed in a bent plate shape.

For example, the stacking guide 23 may be disposed at an angle with respect to the bottom guide 22 at an angle, and may be configured to guide the media temporarily accumulated in the stacking space 11. The angle between the bottom guide 22 and the accumulating guide 23 may be less than 90 degrees.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the integration guide 23 may include a third body 203, a third contact member 233, and the like. The third body 203 can be disposed on the side of the medium outlet 12 and can be configured to support and guide the medium to be ejected. A third contact member 233 may be provided on the outer surface of the third body 203 on the surface facing the medium. The third contact member 233 can be disposed in contact with the medium.

For example, the third body 203 may have a fitting hole corresponding to the outer surface of the third contact member 233 so that the third contact member 233 is inserted, and the third contact member 233 may be formed in the fitting hole. Lt; / RTI >

For example, in the case of a single structure in which the integration guide 23 is not in a combined form, the static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the integration guide 23, 3 body 203 and the third contact member 233, the electrostatic precipitator 30 applies a voltage to the third contact member 233 so that the third contact member 233 is in contact with the third contact member 233 And may be configured to remove static electricity generated in the medium.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first, second, and third contact members 211, 222, and 233 may be formed of a metal material. However, the materials of the first, second, and third contact members 211, 222, and 233 are not limited thereto, and any material that can remove the static electricity is satisfactory. For example, when the first, second, and third contact members 211, 222, and 233 are made of metal, the first, second, and third bodies 201, 202, and 203 may be made of a plastic material. The first, second and third contact members 211, 222 and 233 and the first, second and third bodies 201, 202 and 203 may be formed of different materials

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the media contact 20 may include a top plate 24. The upper plate 24 is located on the upper side of the integrated space 11 and is configured to be brought into contact with the upper side of the medium when the medium is moved in the integrated space 11 and the surface facing the medium can be sharpened .

The static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the top plate 24 to remove static electricity from the medium contacted to the top plate 24. [

When the voltage is continuously applied to the top plate 24, the portion where the top plate 24 and the medium come in contact is sharp, so that the charge can be attracted to the pointed portion. In this case, the charge of polarity opposite to the polarity of the charge charged on the medium is pushed to a pointed portion, so that the static electricity generated in the medium can be removed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the media contact 20 may include a ground brush 25. The ground brush 25 may be formed in the form of a brush.

The static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the ground brush 25 to remove static electricity from the medium that is in contact with the ground brush 25. [

The ground brush 25 may be formed in a shape in which the cross-sectional area of the needle shape is small and the length thereof is long. The ground brush 25 is located on the upper side of the integrated space 11 and may be provided so as to be brought into contact with the upper side of the medium when the medium is moved in the integrated space 11. [

By the electrostatic charge removing unit 30, the charge opposite to the polarity of the charge charged on the medium is concentrated on the pointed portion of the tip portion, and the static electricity of the medium can be removed. The ground brush 25 and the top plate 24 may be configured to cause a corona discharge to remove static electricity generated in the medium.

For example, the ground brush 25 may comprise a plurality of strands in a needle shape. The ground brush 25 may be formed of a flexible material so as not to interfere with the flow of the medium being transported.

For example, the ground brush 25 may be in contact with the media outlet 12 or the upper side of the medium moving toward the inlet 13, and the ground brush 25 may be made of metal fibers having good electrical conductivity.

The ground brush 25 is made of a metal fiber having excellent electrical conductivity, so that the ground brush 25 can be configured to come in contact with a moving medium to remove static electricity generated in the medium.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the media contact portion 20 may include a roller portion 26, a drive shaft 27, and the like. The roller portion 26 is located on the bottom side of the accumulation space 11 and is configured to transport the medium accumulated in the accumulation space 11 toward the medium outlet 12 of the accumulation space 11 to discharge the medium. Rotate in order to rotate, or to accumulate the medium in the accumulating space 11. [

The drive shaft 27 may be electrically connected to the roller portion 26 and may be configured to rotate together with the roller portion 26. The electrostatic charge removing unit 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to at least one of the roller unit 26 and the drive shaft 27 to remove static electricity from the medium.

For example, the roller portion 26 may be configured to be fitted on the coaxial axis of the drive shaft 27 and rotate. A stack roller 28 may further be provided on the coaxial axis of the drive shaft 27. The stack roller 28 may be configured to transport media one by one by striking the rear end of the media toward the media outlet 12 side.

For example, the drive shaft 27 may be supported through both ends of the bottom guide 22, and the drive shaft 27 may be formed of a metal material.

For example, the roller portion 26 and the drive shaft 27 may be electrically connected to the bottom guide 22 and the stack guide 21. The electrostatic charge removing unit 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to at least one of the roller unit 26 and the drive shaft 27. [ The bottom guide 22 and the stack guide 21 can be electrically connected to the roller portion 26 and the drive shaft 27. [

For example, after lowering the medium through the bottom guide 22 and supporting and moving the side of the medium through the stack guide 21, the stack roller 28 may be configured to separate the media into a sheet have. Before entering the stacking roller 28, the stacking roller 28 can stably separate the media into a sheet by removing a part of the static electricity through the bottom guide 22 and the stack guide 21. For example, the stack roller 28 may comprise a rubber material.

Accordingly, when the static electricity is not completely removed, the roller portion 26 and the drive shaft 27 close to the stack roller 28 are brought into contact with the medium, so that the static electricity generated in the medium can be removed.

Further, when the frictional force is increased on the medium at the moment when the stack roller 28 contacts the medium, the medium moves to the medium outlet 12 by the contact with the stacking guide 23, All can be removed. This can prevent a jam phenomenon due to the overlapping of a plurality of media.

In order to remove the static electricity generated in the medium, the static eliminator 30 may include a high voltage generating circuit. The high-voltage generating circuit may be configured to apply a voltage of a polarity opposite to the polarity of the charge charged in the medium to the medium contact portion 20. [

For example, the medium moving in the accumulation space 11 may have a static charge that is positively charged. In this case, static electricity may be generated in the medium contact portion 20 due to friction with the medium contact portion 20 while the medium is moving, but the present invention is not limited to the case where the medium contact portion 20 has the opposite polarity A voltage of a polarity can be supplied to remove the static electricity generated in the medium.

The static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage corresponding to the static electricity generated in the medium to the medium contact portion 20. [

For example, since the static electricity varies in intensity depending on the temperature, the humidity, and the material of the medium contact portion 20, the static electricity eliminator 30 is configured so as to correspond to the intensity of the static electricity generated on the average by the experiment and the polarity of the static electricity It is possible to apply a voltage to the medium contact portion 20.

For example, when negative polarity of the electric charge is applied to the medium contact portion 20 and the amount of the medium for conveying the integrated space 11 is small, the static electricity generated in the medium is a medium contact portion 20 can have a negative charge.

When the static electricity of the medium is weak, only the corresponding voltage is required. However, when an excessive voltage is applied to the medium contact portion, the static electricity eliminator 30, in order to prevent the static electricity of the medium from being charged by the excessive voltage, Can alternately supply a positive voltage and a negative voltage to the medium contact portion 20 corresponding to the static electricity intensity.

The static electricity removing unit 30 alternately applies the voltage of the polarity opposite to the polarity of the electric charge charged on the medium and the voltage of the polarity the same as the polarity of the electric charge charged on the medium to the medium contact unit 20, The static electricity is not charged again, and all of them can be removed.

When the voltage is alternately supplied to the medium contact portion 20, the effect of removing the static electricity of the medium can be reduced by half. However, there is an advantage that the medium is not charged again with the opposite polarity, and all the static electricity can be removed.

For example, the media processing apparatus according to the present invention may further include a sensor unit (not shown). The sensor unit (not shown) can detect whether or not the medium is accumulated in the integrated space 11. [

For example, a positive output voltage, a negative output voltage, a voltage value, and the like may be set based on the distance from the entrance and exit portions 2 and 3 shown in Fig. 1 to the medium exit 12 .

For example, an applied output voltage, a voltage value, and the like can be set based on the material of the medium contact portion and the type of the medium.

7, the electrostatic charge removing unit 30 may include a voltage setting unit 31 and a voltage value adjusting unit 32. As shown in FIG. The voltage setting unit 31 can selectively set one of a positive output voltage and a negative output voltage. The voltage value adjusting unit 32 may be configured to adjust the voltage value of either the positive output voltage or the negative output voltage. The electrostatic charge removing unit 30 can selectively apply the set voltage and voltage to the medium contact unit 20 to remove the static electricity generated in the medium.

The static eliminator 30 is configured to apply a voltage to the medium contact portion 20 only when the medium is integrated in the integrated space 11 or to apply the voltage only when the medium is in contact with the medium contact portion 20 .

As shown in Fig. 8, the electrostatic precipitator 30 may be connected to the media contact 20, respectively.

The static electricity eliminator 30 is arranged between the stack guide 21 and the floor guide 22 when the medium introduced into the media inlet 13 is erected against the side wall of the stack guide 21 and is stacked on top of the bottom guide 22. [ ) Can be applied with a voltage of a polarity opposite to the polarity of the charge charged on the medium. Thereafter, when the medium moves and the medium enters the ground brush 25, the top plate 24, and the roller portion 26, the stack guide 21 may be configured such that no voltage is applied thereto. When the medium contacts the medium contact portion 20, the electrostatic charge removing portion 30 can apply a voltage to the medium contact portion 20. [ This is because voltage is applied only at the moment when the medium is integrated, so that peripheral components may not be affected.

For example, the electrostatic precipitator 30 is connected to the electrostatic precipitator 30 at each of the media contacting portions 20 so that the electrostatic charge removing portion 30 selectively adjusts the positive output voltage, the negative output voltage, .

The static eliminator 30 may be configured to apply a voltage to the accumulation guide 23 only while the medium is being discharged through the medium outlet 12 to remove the static electricity generated in the medium.

For example, the stack guide 21, the bottom guide 22, the drive shaft 27, and the roller portion 26 may be electrically connected to each other. And may be configured to apply a voltage to only one of them. The stack guide 21, the bottom guide 22, the drive shaft 27, and the roller portion 26 are electrically connected to each other, so that the static electricity generated in the medium can be removed. The ground brush 25 and the upper plate 24 may be electrically connected to each other,

For example, the parts in the stack guide 21, the bottom guide 22, the stacking guide 23, the drive shaft 27, and the roller portion 26 may be configured to be electrically connected to each other in some groups. This can improve the poor integration of the medium due to the static electricity, and can stably drive the medium processing apparatus.

For example, the electrostatic precipitator 300 may be a plasma ion generator. As shown in FIG. 10, the electrostatic precipitator 300 is provided in the medium contact portion 20 to generate direct ions, and can directly contact the medium to remove static electricity.

For example, the static eliminator 300 may generate ions corresponding to the intensity of static electricity generated in the medium. The static eliminator 300 may include an ion setting unit for selectively setting one of positive ions and negative ions, and an ion value adjusting unit for adjusting a generated value of one of the ions.

For example, the static eliminator 300 can adjust the set ion or ion value and contact the medium in a range of about 1 mm to 10 mm at a short distance, thereby removing the static electricity.

For example, the electrostatic precipitator 300 is provided in the medium contact portion 20, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The medium contact portion 20 itself may be an ion generator that generates ions. This can improve the defective integration of the medium due to the static electricity, stably drive the medium processing apparatus, and improve the quality of the medium.
