Fig. 1 shows an automatic printing paper supply device according to an exemplary embodiment.

The automatic feeding device for printing paper is a first paper conveying device 10 for separating the printing paper P, and a first conveyance for conveying the printing paper P separated from the printing paper separating device 10 to the supply destination 50 Belt 40 may be included. The supply destination 50 can be, for example, a stack of matching devices. In the matching device, a stacking portion in which a plurality of ground prints of the same page are stacked one by one is sequentially arranged in the lateral direction according to the page order. However, the supply destination is not limited to the matching device. The automatic printing paper supply device may allow the printing paper P to be continuously supplied to the supply destination 50.

The printing paper automatic feeding device may be provided with a stage 5 on which the printing paper P is placed. The stage 5 extends to the printing paper separating apparatus 10.

The first transfer belt 40 is disposed adjacent to the printing paper separating device 10 and can sequentially transfer the printing paper separated at regular intervals from the printing paper separating device 10 to the supply destination 50. The first transfer belt 40 may be provided to extend to the supply destination 50. Alternatively, the second transfer belt 70 may be further provided separately from the first transfer belt 40. For example, the first transport belt 40 may allow the printing paper P to be transported along an inclined path. The second transfer belt 70 is disposed adjacent to the first transfer belt 40 to receive the printing paper conveyed by the first transfer belt 40 and transfer it to the supply destination 50. For example, the second transfer belt 70 may have a flat path.

Meanwhile, a third transfer belt 45 may be further provided to overlap the first transfer belt 40. The printing paper P may be transferred between the first transfer belt 40 and the third transfer belt 45. The first transfer belt 40 may have, for example, a rough surface, such as a convex pattern, so that the printing paper P does not slip.

2 is a side view of the printing paper separation device 10, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the printing paper separation device 10.

The printing paper separation device 10 may include an air blower 20 that blows air toward the printing paper P to form an air gap in the printing paper.

The printing paper separation device 10 may further include a driving unit 30 that reciprocates the air blower 20. The air blower 20 may send air to the printing paper P so that an air gap is formed between the printing papers P. The driving unit 30 may allow the printing paper P to be separated and moved by reciprocating the air blower 20 in the vertical direction, for example.

4 is an exploded perspective view of the air blower 20. The air blower 20 includes a body 22 having an air passage 21 through which air flows, an air inlet 24 through which air is injected into the air passage 21, and air discharged from the air passage 21 It may include at least one air outlet (25).

The body 22 may include a first surface 26 and a second surface 27 inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the first surface 26. The second surface 27 is a surface in which the printing paper contacts, and may be an inclined surface. The printing paper P may be supported by leaning against the second surface 27.

The air outlet 25 may be provided at a boundary where the first surface 26 and the second surface 27 meet. For example, the air outlet port 25 may be located at the lower edge of the second surface 27. The air outlet 25 may be, for example, at least one fine hole. The air discharged through the air outlet port 25 may form an air gap between the overlapping printing papers P, and the printing papers P may be separated and pushed. An air hose (not shown) may be connected to the air inlet 24.

The air passage 21 may have, for example, a tubular shape. However, it is not limited to this, and may have various shapes. A cap C1 capable of blocking one end of the air passage 21 may be further provided. And, the connection body 29 may be coupled to the first surface 26. The connecting body 29 may be disposed on the body 22 adjacent to the air outlet 25 to form an exhaust passage of air discharged from the air outlet 25.

Meanwhile, a cover plate C2 may be further provided on the side of the body 22. The cover plate C2 may be coupled to the body 22 by, for example, screws C3. The cover plate C2 may block the lateral direction of the gap region G, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 5, to prevent air from leaking in the lateral direction of the body 22. By doing so, it is possible to allow the air to be discharged with a strong pressure to the desired air passage.

5 is a cross-sectional view of the air blower. Referring to FIG. 5, a gap region G may be provided between the body 22 and the connecting body 29. The gap region G may be a narrow gap region formed by the body 22 and the connection body 29 facing the air outlet 25 therebetween. The gap region G may be an exhaust passage of air exiting the air exhaust port 25. Since the discharge passage is a narrow gap area, the air can be discharged to the printing paper P with an elongated air discharge shape and strong air pressure. Thereby, an air gap can be formed between the laminated printing papers without damaging the printing papers.

Referring back to FIGS. 2 and 3, the driving unit 30 may include, for example, a motor 38 and a cam 35 driven by the motor 38. The driving unit 30 may also be variously configured. The cam 35 is driven according to the rotation of the motor 38 to move the air blower 20 up and down.

A support 32 for supporting the air blower 20, a shaft 34 coupled to the support 32, and an elastic body 36 coupled to the shaft 34 may be provided. The support 32 may be directly coupled to the shaft 34, or may be coupled by one or more connecting parts 33. The 31 member may be a bolt for coupling the body 22 to the support 32. Meanwhile, the plate 39 may be coupled to the connection portion 33. The plate 39 may be moved up and down according to the movement of the cam 35. As the plate 39 is moved, the air blower 20 may move up and down through the connection portion 33 and the support portion 32.

Meanwhile, the elastic body 36 may be, for example, a spring. The elastic body 36 is coupled around the shaft 34, and stoppers 37 are provided at both ends of the elastic body 36 so that the elastic body 36 can be compressed and restored. When the air blower 20 is raised by the cam 35, the elastic body 36 is tensioned, and the air blower 20 can be lowered by the restoring force of the elastic body 36. The motor 38 can be, for example, a stepping motor. The motor 38 and the cam 35 can be combined by a belt (B).

As the air is rapidly discharged through the air outlet 25 of the air blower 20, an air gap is formed between the printing papers P, and the air blower 20 is reciprocated by the driving unit 30 while printing paper It can be separated in the upper direction by striking (P). By forming an air gap between the printing papers P, when the air blower 20 strikes the printing papers P, the printing papers P may be separately moved. The printing paper P may be individually separated and moved by the air pressure formed while the air is compressed through the air outlet 25 and the hitting of the printing paper by the reciprocating motion of the air blower 20.

6 shows a state in which a plurality of printing papers P are separated and moved at regular intervals T. The leading edge PE of the printing paper PE is separated and transferred from other neighboring printing papers. The separation distance T of the tip PE may be adjusted by the pressure of air discharged through the air outlet 25 and the impact force by reciprocating motion of the air blower 20.

Since the printing paper P is separated and moved while the air gap is formed, there is no fear that the printing paper P will be damaged when moving, and the printing paper can be stacked evenly as it reaches the supply destination 50.

7 shows that the air discharger 60 is provided on a path through which the printing paper P is conveyed by the first transfer belt 40. The air discharger 60 discharges air to the front end portion PE of the printing paper P conveyed by the first conveyance belt 40 so that the front end PE of the printing paper P neighbors the printing paper P It is possible to prevent the generation of static electricity by preventing it from falling off, and to prevent the transfer of overlapping during transport.

8 shows a perspective view of the air vent 60. The air discharger 60 may include an air pipe 65 and at least one air outlet 63 penetrated to discharge air from the air pipe 65. An air supply path 67 for supplying air to the air pipe 65 is in communication with the air pipe 65. An air hose 69 may be connected to the air supply path 67. The air outlet 63 may be positioned to discharge air on the conveyance path of the printing paper P, and may have a small hole shape so as to impact the tip PE of the printing paper by air pressure. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the air outlet 63 may be configured in various shapes and sizes as long as it can blow air in a narrow area, such as a front end portion PE of a printing paper.

A cap 64 that can close a hole at one end of the air pipe 65 may be further provided.

As described above, the printing paper separation apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment can easily separate the laminated printing paper without damage. Further, the automatic paper feeding device may automatically supply the printing paper to the matching device.
