Description

Paper feeding device

The present invention relates to a paper feeding device for conveying stacked cardboard sheets to a post-processing device such as a printing device or a cutting device, wherein the cardboard can be, for example, corrugated cardboard.

A common paper feeding device has a paper feeding table and a guide plate. The guide plate and the paper feeding table are separated by a gap. The paper feeding table is stacked with a plurality of thick cardboard plates, and the front ends of the cardboard plates are abutted on the guide. The reference surface of the board, the lowermost thick cardboard of the plurality of thick cardboard is attracted by the suction unit provided under the feeding table, and is intermittently conveyed one by one from the gap of the guiding plate to the post-processing device through a plurality of paper feeding rollers A part of the peripheral surface of the paper feed roller is exposed to the paper feed table (refer to Patent Document 1). Further, the plurality of paper feed rollers are disposed in front of the guide plates (the side on which the cardboard stack is placed), and are each controlled by the same motor.

The paper feeding device described above is configured to convey the lowermost thick cardboard sucked by the suction unit to the post-process device, and the rear of the guide plate is provided with a pair of upper and lower feed rollers for feeding to the paper feed roller to the guide. The cardboard behind the plate (on the side where the rear process unit is located) causes the cardboard to pass through the gap between the two feed rollers to the post-process device. Then, the paper feed roller controls the time of one cycle until the delivery of each lowermost thick cardboard is completed according to the timing signal transmitted from the post-process device.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 2726516.

However, the above-mentioned conventional paper feeding device controls a plurality of paper feed rollers by the same motor, so that the motor is required to be slammed from a stop state during one cycle until the delivery of each lowermost thick cardboard is completed. After accelerating to the high speed state, the motor is stopped suddenly. In this case, if the conveying speed of each paper feed roller to the cardboard is increased, for example, the conveying speed of the thick cardboard having a length of 1100 mm (millimeter) in the conveying direction is adjusted to 300 or more per minute, the control of the motor will be Can not keep up with the feed speed of the paper feed roller. The reason why the control of the motor can not keep up is that when stopping the operation of the motor, it is necessary to calculate the operation time required for both the clutch and the brake (this is assumed to be 100 msec), wherein the clutch is used to interrupt the motor and each Paper feeding The power supply between the rollers, after the clutch is interrupted by the power supply, uses the brakes to limit the operation of each of the paper feed rollers. Therefore, at a high speed of more than 300 sheets per minute, the delivery time of each of the lowermost sheets is only 200 msec (milliseconds), and only 100 msec is left after the operation time required to deduct the clutches and brakes. However, it is impossible to achieve the physics level by transporting each of the lowermost thick cardboards through the motor within 100 msec, accelerating the motor from a stopped state to a high rotational speed state, and then rushing to stop the operation of the motor.

In order to solve the above problems, the general solution that can be conceived is that an additional connection mechanism is provided, so that each of the paper feed rollers can be arbitrarily moved up and down through the drive link mechanism, and each paper feed roller can be operated at the highest speed state at any time. Thereby, during the one week until the delivery of the lowermost thick cardboard, the contact between the respective paper feed rollers and the cardboard can be interrupted not only by the lifting and lowering of the connecting mechanism, but also the conveying speed of the thick cardboard can be increased through the respective paper feeding rollers. .

However, since each of the paper feed rollers is arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the cardboard, each of the paper feed rollers has a different amount of conveyance to the lowermost thick paperboard. Thereby, each of the paper feed rollers located in the conveying direction of the cardboard will have to be lifted and lowered individually, which in turn causes the construction of the paper feeding device to become very complicated.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper feeding device which can control a motor without passing through a clutch and a brake, and can increase the thick paper by a simple structure without separately lifting and lowering each of the paper feed rollers.

Further, the plurality of paper feed rollers are respectively disposed in the width direction of the paper feed table through the plurality of axes according to the width direction and the front-rear direction of the cardboard, and at the same time, the plurality of paper feed rollers are arranged in front of the guide plate. A plurality of paper feed roller rows are formed in the rear, and the paper feed roller rows are respectively arranged on the equiaxions, and the paper feed roller rows are respectively coupled to the plurality of individually arranged servo motors through the equal axes. In addition, each servo motor is individually controlled and located The servo motor directly in front of the guide plate contacts the lowermost thick cardboard through the respective paper feed rollers connected to the shaft, and the lowermost thick cardboard is conveyed to the post-process device during a period of time, at least in the plurality of servo motors The servo motors in front of and behind the board are respectively controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are rapidly accelerated from the stop state to the synchronized high speed state, and during the period, when the paper feeding device judges to pass through each axis When each of the paper feed roller rows connected to each servo motor is in a non-contact state with the lowermost thick cardboard, the paper feeding device controls each servo motor so that each paper feed roller of each paper feed roller row sequentially goes from a high rotation speed state. I am eager to stop.

Moreover, in one embodiment, among the plurality of servo motors, the servo motor directly in front of the guide plate is located at the front of the servo motor, and the respective paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft contact the lowermost thick cardboard, and the lowermost layer is During a period in which the cardboard is conveyed to the post-process device, the servo motor that is located further forward than the servo motor directly in front of the guide is controlled to rapidly accelerate the respective paper feed rollers from the stop state to the high-speed state, and During the period of the cycle, when the paper feeding device determines that the respective paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft of the servo motor located forward of the servo motor directly in front of the guide plate are in non-contact state with the lowermost thick cardboard, the paper feeding device The servo motor that is located further ahead than the servo motor directly in front of the guide plate is connected, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are suddenly stopped from a high rotation speed state.

During a period of the device, the servo motor located behind the servo motor directly behind the guide is controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are rapidly accelerated from the stop state to the synchronized high rotation state, and at the same time, in the cycle During the period, when the paper feeding device determines that the respective paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft of the servo motor located behind the servo motor behind the guide plate are in non-contact state with the lowermost thick cardboard, the paper feeding device controls the ratio. The servo motor directly behind the guide plate is located at the rear of the servo motor, so that the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are suddenly stopped from a high rotation speed state.

In this regard, in another embodiment, a servo motor that is located behind the servo motor directly behind the guide plate of the plurality of servo motors is controlled to be in a high speed state at any time.

In addition, in an embodiment, each servo motor includes an encoder, and each encoder is used to measure the rotation amount of each servo motor. When each encoder measures that each servo motor has reached the lowermost thick cardboard to the post process When the amount of rotation required by the device is required, the paper feeding device determines that each of the paper feed rollers is in a non-contact state with the lowermost cardboard, and controls each servo motor to feed each paper. The roller stops suddenly. Wherein, the rotation amount of each servo motor is calculated according to the time required for one cycle of the lowermost thick cardboard to be transported to the post-process device.

Further, in an embodiment, the plurality of suction units are respectively disposed at the front and the rear of the guide plate, and when the delivery time of the lowermost thick cardboard to the post-process device is less than 200 milliseconds, the paper feed is performed. The device will stop attracting the suction unit disposed in front of the guide.

In summary, the paper feeding device of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of paper feed rollers are respectively disposed in the width direction of the paper feeding table through a plurality of axes according to the size of the cardboard in the width direction and the front-rear direction. The paper feed roller is arranged in front of and behind the guide plate to form a plurality of paper feed roller rows respectively arranged on different axes, and the paper feed roller rows are respectively connected to the plurality of individual settings through the shafts and respectively Controlled servo motor. In addition, in the servo motor located directly in front of the guide plate, each of the paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft contacts the lowermost thick cardboard, and the lowermost thick cardboard is conveyed to the post-process device during one cycle, and the plurality of servo motors are provided. The servo motors at least in front of and behind the guide plates are respectively controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are rapidly accelerated from the stop state to the synchronized high rotation state, and during the period, when the paper feeding device judges When the paper feed roller connected to the paper feed roller column of each servo motor through each axis is in a non-contact state, the servo motors are respectively controlled so that the respective paper feed rollers of each paper feed roller row are sequentially The high speed state is suddenly stopped. Thereby, the paper feeding device of the present invention does not need to use a clutch and a brake to control the motor, and individually controls each servo motor so that the paper feed roller of each paper feed roller column conveys the lowermost thick cardboard, and therefore, the present invention The paper feeding device can increase the speed of conveying the cardboard to the post-processing device through a simple configuration without separately lifting and lowering each of the paper feed rollers.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, among the plurality of servo motors, the servo motor directly in front of the guide plate is located at a front servo motor, and each of the paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft contacts the lowermost thick cardboard. During the one-cycle period in which the lowermost cardboard is conveyed to the post-process device, the servo motor that is located further forward than the servo motor directly in front of the guide is controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are rapidly accelerated from the stop state to the high-speed state. . Thereby, the paper feeding device of the present invention can convey the lowermost thick cardboard through the paper feed roller coupled to the servo motor transmission shaft located forward of the servo motor directly in front of the guide plate, and can be directly adjacent to the guide plate. The servo motor is applied together through the paper feed roller to which the shaft is attached to more efficiently transport the lowermost thick paperboard. On the other hand, during the period of completing the delivery of the lowermost thick cardboard, when the paper feeding device judges the ratio guide When the servo motor in front of the board is located at the front of the servo motor, the paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft are in non-contact state with the lowermost cardboard, and the servo motor is located at the front of the servo motor directly in front of the guide. The paper feed rollers that are connected to each other are stopped from a high speed state. Thereby, when the aforementioned servo motor is connected to the next thick cardboard of the lowermost thick cardboard through the paper feed roller connected to the shaft, the paper feed roller has stopped running, thereby reliably preventing the next thick cardboard from being inadvertently In the case of being transported out.

Moreover, in an embodiment of the present invention, the servo motor located directly in front of the guide plate among the plurality of servo motors contacts the lowermost thick cardboard through the respective paper feed rollers connected to the transmission shaft, and conveys the lowermost thick cardboard. During the period of one cycle of the process device, the servo motor located behind the servo motor directly behind the guide plate is controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are rapidly accelerated from the stop state to the high speed state, and are positively connected with the guide plate. The servo motor in front is synchronized. Accordingly, the paper feeding device of the present invention can transmit the lowermost thick cardboard that has been conveyed to the rear of the guide plate to the paper feed roller that is connected to the servo motor transmission shaft that is located behind the servo motor directly behind the guide plate. The post-process device can be used in conjunction with a servo motor directly behind the guide to more efficiently transport the lowermost thick cardboard that has been transported to the rear of the guide to the post-process device. On the other hand, during a period in which the delivery of the lowermost thick cardboard is completed, the paper feeding device determines the respective paper feed rollers and the lowermost layer of the servo motor whose transmission shaft is located behind the servo motor directly behind the guide plate. When the cardboard is in a non-contact state, the servo motor that is located further behind the servo motor directly behind the guide plate is controlled, and the respective paper feed rollers connected thereto are suddenly stopped from a high rotation speed state. Thereby, after the lowermost cardboard is conveyed to the post-process apparatus, the servo motor directly behind the guide is stopped together with the servo motor located further rearward to prepare for the next cycle.

In this regard, in another embodiment of the present invention, the servo motor located further rearward than the servo motor directly behind the guide plate is controlled to a high rotation speed state at any time. As a result, the paper feeding device of the present invention does not need to perform the control process of rapidly awakening the servo motor from the stop state after each cycle period, thereby simplifying the flow of control and also being capable of being controlled with the guide plate. The servo motor at the rear is used together to more efficiently transfer the lowermost thick cardboard that has been transported to the rear of the guide to the after-treatment device.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when each encoder measures that each servo motor has reached the rotation amount required for each of the paper feed rollers to transport the lowermost thick cardboard, the paper feeding device determines each of the paper feed rollers and the lowermost layer. The cardboard is in a non-contact state, and each servo motor is controlled to make each feed The paper rollers stop in a hurry. Thereby, the paper feeding device of the present invention can individually measure the amount of rotation of each servo motor through the encoder, and thus can more reliably determine whether or not each of the paper feed rollers and the lowermost cardboard is in a non-contact state.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the one-cycle transport time required to transport the lowermost thick cardboard to the post-process device is less than 200 milliseconds, the paper feeding device stops the attraction unit disposed in front of the guide plate . Thereby, when the lowermost thick cardboard is conveyed at a high speed at a speed of less than 200 milliseconds per sheet, the paper feeding device of the present invention can eliminate the attraction resistance caused by the suction unit, and the paper feed roller can complete a cycle more smoothly.

Hereinafter, a paper feeding device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the related drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a sheet feeding device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the sheet feeding device shown in FIG. 1 when viewed from the side.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the paper feeding device 1 is used for conveying the cardboard one by one to the printing device Z (post process device) of the carton forming machine (not shown) used in the subsequent process, and the paper feeding device 1 includes A paper feed table 2, which is stacked on the paper feed table 2 as a corrugated cardboard X, X... of cardboard. This paper feed table 2 is provided at the upper end of the casing 20. The left and right pairs of guide plates 3, 3 are provided at the rearward position of the paper feed table 2, and the guide plates 3, 3 are spaced apart from the paper feed table 2 by a gap 31, and the width of the gap 31 is equal to the thickness of one corrugated cardboard X. . Wherein, the front ends of the plurality of corrugated cardboards X, X... (the left end shown in Fig. 2) are in sliding contact with the reference faces of the guide plates 3, 3 (the right side surface shown in Fig. 2), and each corrugated cardboard X is layered. It is arranged between the guide plates 3, 3 and the rear guide portion 32, and the rear guide portion 32 is provided at the front end of the paper feed table 2. In the present embodiment, the lower end portions of the respective guide plates 3 are gradually inclined rearward (to the left in FIG. 2) as they approach the lower side, so that the front ends of the corrugated cardboard sheets X arranged in a layer shape have a low frictional force. The line contact means is in contact with the respective guide plates 3, whereby the front ends of the respective corrugated cardboard sheets X are prevented from being blocked by the respective guide plates 3.

Further, in the casing 20 below the paper feeding table 2, suction units 4, 4 for sucking the lowermost corrugated cardboard X to the paper feeding table 2 are provided. The suction units 4, 4 are housed in the front side portion (the right side portion shown in FIG. 2) of the casing 20, and the accommodation positions of the respective suction units 4 correspond to the front sides of the respective guide plates 3, respectively. Among the corrugated cardboard sheets X which are arranged in a layer between the guide plates 3 and 3 and the rear guide portion 32, the corrugated cardboard X located at the lowermost layer is sucked to the lower side through the suction units 4 and 4. Further, the rear side portion (the left side portion shown in FIG. 2) of the casing 20 corresponding to the rear of each of the guide plates 3 is also provided with a suction unit (not shown), and the paper feed roller 5, which will be described later, will be the lowermost corrugated sheet. After the cardboard sheet X is conveyed to the rear of each of the guide plates 3, the suction unit sucks the lowermost corrugated cardboard X downward to the rear side position of the paper feeding table 2 (a position rearward of each of the guide plates 3).

The paper feed table 2 is provided with a plurality of paper feed rollers 5, 5, ..., in detail, the paper feed rollers 5, 5, ... are respectively disposed in the width direction (longitudinal direction) of the paper feed table 2 through the transmission shaft 51, and A specific interval from each other. These paper feed rollers 5, 5, ... have the same shape, the diameter r is set to 76 mm, and the thickness in the direction of the shaft 51 is designed to be 25 mm. In addition, a part of the peripheral surface of each of the paper feed rollers 5 is exposed to the paper feed table 2, and each of the paper feed rollers 5 is in contact with the lowermost layer on the paper feed table 2. The corrugated cardboard X is intermittently conveyed one by one from the gap 31 of the guide 3 to the printing device of the carton forming machine. Further, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is disposed in front of and behind the respective guide plates 3, and the guide plates 3 are interposed. At the same time, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is arranged at six intervals at equal intervals to form first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F, which are respectively coupled to different shafts 51 and rotate together with the shaft 51. The first to fourth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D are sequentially arranged from the front side of each of the guide plates 3, and the fifth paper feed roller row 5E and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F are from the respective guide plates. The rear of 3 starts to line up in order. The housing 20 is further provided with a plurality of bearing holes (not shown), and the shafts 51 of the first to sixth sheet feeding roller rows 5A to 5F are rotatably supported by the plurality of bearing holes, respectively. Further, in the present embodiment, although the diameter r and the thickness of each of the paper feed rollers 5 are designed to be 76 mm and 25 mm, respectively, the present invention does not limit the diameter and thickness of the paper feed roller 5 as long as the inertia of each of the paper feed rollers 5 can be reduced. And the weight of each of the paper feed rollers 5 is controlled to be less than 100 g (gram), and the diameter and thickness of the paper feed roller 5 can be arbitrarily designed by those skilled in the art.

Here, the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are arranged adjacent to each other, and the interval v between the mutually adjacent shafts 51 and 51 is designed to be 75 mm, so that it is necessary to avoid the paper feed roller of each paper feed roller column. 5 In addition to mutual contact, it is also necessary to displace the paper feed rollers 5 of the adjacent paper feed roller rows in the width direction (left-right direction) of the paper feed table 2. Specifically, in the first paper feed roller row 5A, the third paper feed roller row 5C, and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F, the thickness center interval p of the adjacent two adjacent paper feed rollers 5, 5 is basically designed. In addition to 100 mm, in addition, two adjacent paper feed rollers 5, 5, which are designed to have a thickness center interval q of 50 mm, may also be interspersed in each of the above columns. On the other hand, in the second paper feed roller row 5B, the fourth paper feed roller row 5D, and the fifth paper feed roller row 5E, the thickness center interval s of the adjacent two adjacent paper feed rollers 5, 5 is basically designed. 100 mm so that each of the paper feed rollers 5 has two adjacent paper feed rollers 5 in the direction of the axis 51 in the first paper feed roller row 5A, the third paper feed roller row 5C, and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F. Between 5 and 5, in addition, two adjacent paper feed rollers 5, 5 having a center interval u of 200 mm may be interspersed and arranged in the second paper feed roller column 5B, the fourth paper feed roller column 5D and the fifth feed. The paper cylinder row 5E, thereby avoiding the two paper feed rollers 5, 5 designed to be 50 mm from the center interval q of the first paper feed roller row 5A, the third paper feed roller row 5C, and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F The interference is made and the position of the interval u corresponds to where the aforementioned two paper feed rollers 5, 5 are located.

Further, the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are respectively coupled to the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F provided separately through the shaft 51. The shafts 51 and 51 of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are arranged adjacent to each other, but are not adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F connected to the respective shafts 51 are common. Integrated on the left or right. Specifically, the first servo motor 6A, the third servo motor 6C, and the sixth servo motor 6F are respectively coupled to the axes of the first paper feed roller column 5A, the third paper feed roller column 5C, and the sixth paper feed roller column 5F. One end of 51 (the left end shown in FIG. 1), on the other hand, the second servo motor 6B, the fourth servo motor 6D, and the fifth servo motor 6E are respectively coupled to the second paper feed roller column 5B and the fourth paper feed roller. The other end of the shaft 51 of the column 5D and the fifth paper feed roller row 5E (the right end shown in Fig. 1). At this time, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are suitable for the rated condition to satisfy the rated output power of 7 kW, the rated torque is 2.230e ⁺¹ Nm, the rated speed is 3000 min ^-1 , and the rotor inertia is 1.230e ^-3 kgm. ² servo motor.

Fig. 3 is a view for explaining the control contents of the control devices of the servo motors 6A to 6F in one cycle of the paper feeding device 1. 4 is an explanatory view of the conveyance amount of the paper feed roller 5 of the paper feeding device 1 to the corrugated cardboard X, wherein the paper feed roller 5 is coupled to each of the servo motors 6A to 6F via the transmission shaft 51. Fig. 5 is a timing chart for controlling the timing of each of the servo motors 6A to 6F of the paper feeding device 1 in one cycle.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first to sixth servo motors 6A-6F simultaneously activate the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller trains 5A to 5F according to the paper feed command signal Z1, wherein each of the paper feed rollers 5 is directly connected to the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F through the shaft 51, and the paper feed command signal Z1 is required for the cycle time of the printing device Z of the carton forming machine (for example, one rotation of the printing cylinder 360 degrees) Time) is generated synchronously. Before the leading end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X reaches the center of the shaft 51 of the sixth paper feed roller row 5F, the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are rapidly accelerated to a high rotation speed state. The rotational speed is equal to the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing unit Z. After the respective paper feed rollers 5 maintain the constant speed rotation until the corrugated cardboard X reaches the deceleration start position of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled. The operation of each of the paper feed rollers 5 is suddenly stopped. At this time, during the period of one cycle of the paper feeding device 1, that is, during the period in which each of the paper feed rollers 5 conveys each of the lowermost corrugated cardboard sheets X, the first to sixth paper feed roller columns 5A are judged. When the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the 5F and the lowermost corrugated cardboard X are in a non-contact state, the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are sequentially stopped from the high rotation speed state.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the reference plane of each guide 3 (the most before starting) The distance from the front end of the lower corrugated cardboard X to the shaft 51 of the first to fourth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D is a, b, c, and d, respectively, and the length of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X in the front-rear direction is w. When the lowermost corrugated cardboard X reaches the front-back direction length w minus the distances a, b, c, d in the first to fourth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D, respectively, the conveyance lengths (wa, wb, wc, wd) are obtained. At the same time, or immediately before the conveyance length is reached, the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to fourth paper feed roller trains 5A to 5D are sequentially stopped. The reason why the operation is urgently stopped is that when the rear end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X passes through the center of the shaft 51 of the first to fourth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D, if each of the paper feed rollers 5 continues to rotate, it is located at the lowermost corrugation. The next corrugated cardboard X directly above the cardboard X will contact each of the paper feed rollers 5. At this time, the front end of the next corrugated cardboard X will abut against each of the guide plates 3 to restrict the conveying operation of each of the paper feed rollers 5, causing the corrugated cardboard X to come into contact with each of the paper feed rollers 5 to cause scratches, or the front end may occur. Partially damaged situation. On the other hand, the distance from the reference surface of each of the guide plates 3 to the shaft 51 of the sixth paper feed roller row 5F is f, and the conveyance length obtained when the lowermost corrugated cardboard X reaches the front-back direction length w and the distance f ( At w+f), or immediately before the conveyance length is reached, each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the fifth paper feed roller row 5E and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F is suddenly stopped.

Here, the operation of each cycle of the paper feeding device 1 is repeated in accordance with the paper feed command signal Z1 outputted by the printing device Z, but in the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F of the paper feeding device 1 Under the premise that the paper feed roller 5 and the printing device Z have the same cycle (the time of one turn), the printing device Z cannot determine the start time of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F, only The paper feed command signal can be output at any time. Therefore, the end of the paper feeding device 1 needs to pass through the timing monitoring circuit 72 of the power control circuit 7 to monitor the paper feed command signal Z1 synchronized with the cycle time of the printing device Z and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder at any time to determine The correct start-up time of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F.

After the paper feed command signal Z1 synchronized with the cycle time of the printing device Z and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder are output, the two signals Z1 and Z2 are transmitted to the timing monitoring circuit 72, and then the timing monitoring circuit 72 will be based on the two signals. Z1, Z2 start the speed mode control circuit 73. In other words, the paper feed command signal Z1 and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder are respectively transmitted to the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits 72A-72F of the timing monitoring circuit 72, and then, the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits are respectively sent. 72A~72F will respectively start the speed mode control circuit 73 according to the paper feed command signal Z1 and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder. One to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F. The first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F calculate the speed patterns of the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F in accordance with preset values set in the setting unit 75. The set value includes the length w in the front-rear direction of the corrugated cardboard X, and the distance a from the front end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X before starting to the shaft 51 of the first to fourth and sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D, 5F. , b, c, d, f, and in the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is synchronized with the one-cycle operation of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z. Thereby, each servo motor can be activated by the paper feed command signal Z1 of the printing device Z and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder. At this time, each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the fifth paper feed roller row 5E is the same as each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the sixth paper feed roller row 5F, and the speed mode is calculated according to a preset value set in the setting unit 75. That is, both of them calculate the speed mode based on the distance f from the leading end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X before starting to the axis 51 of the sixth paper feed roller row 5F. Thereby, each servo motor can be activated by the paper feed command signal Z1 of the printing device Z and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder.

Here, the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder is transmitted to the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits 72A-72F through the advance angle circuit 71, respectively. Among them, the advancement angle circuit 71 adjusts the activation time of each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F at any time in accordance with the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z.

In addition, the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder is also transmitted to the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A-73F through the advance angle circuit 71, respectively. The first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A-73F calculate the time t0 at the start and the time t2 at the end of the cycle according to the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder to obtain the time tx required for a cycle, and then, The first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F select the preset speed mode according to the calculated time period tx of one cycle, and simultaneously calculate the first to sixth paper feeds through the required time tx of one cycle. The amount of conveyance of each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the drum rows 5A to 5F to the lowermost corrugated cardboard X.

Further, since the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z is not always operated at the expected peripheral speed, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F control the first to sixth servo motors 6A in a feedforward control manner. ~6F, based on the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder, synchronizes the time tx required for one cycle of the paper feeding device 1 with the time required for one cycle of the printing cylinder. During the period of one cycle of the paper feeding device 1, each of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F The paper feed roller 5 reaches a high rotation speed state at time t1 after starting, and the rotation speed at this time point coincides with the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z. When the rotational speed of each of the paper feed rollers 5 coincides with the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z, that is, after the respective paper feed rollers 5 are synchronized with the printing cylinders of the printing device Z, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F continue. The time tx required for one cycle of the paper feeding device 1 is calculated. The above-mentioned one cycle required time tx is respectively input to the speed mode of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F of the speed mode control circuit 73 for calculation by the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F. The amount of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F (the amount of rotation of each of the shafts 51). Here, the amounts of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are obtained by measurement by encoders (not shown) provided in the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F, respectively. Then, the measured values of the encoders are input to the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F, and the first to sixth servo motors are driven by the first to sixth servo motor driving circuits 74A to 74F of the motor driving circuit 74. The motors 6A to 6F synchronize the respective paper feed rollers 5 connected to the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F through the shaft 51, respectively, and the printing cylinders of the printing device Z. Turn. Thereby, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are individually controlled, but the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits 72A to 72F of the timing monitoring circuit 72 monitor the same signal (printing device Z) The paper feed command signal Z1 and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder, therefore, the start times of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are all the same.

Then, after the time t1 is reached, the rotational speeds of the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F coincide with the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z, but in one cycle of the paper feeding device 1. During the period, when the encoders measure that the first to fourth and sixth servo motors 6A to 6D, 6F have reached the speed mode of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F and the time required for one cycle tx When the amount of rotation is made, the paper feeding device 1 determines that each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the first to fourth and sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D, 5F is in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and controls the respective The first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F cause the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F to be suddenly stopped from the high rotation speed state. It should be particularly noted that, in this case, when the paper feed roller 5 of the fifth paper feed roller row 5E is suddenly stopped from the high rotation speed state, when the encoder measures that the sixth servo motor 6F reaches the above rotation amount, the transmission control is fifth. The servo motor 6E is achieved.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F The paper cylinder 5 is started at time t0, and is rapidly accelerated to a high rotation speed state before time t1, and further coincides with the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z. Meanwhile, the distance obtained by integrating the speed curve from time t0 to time t1 is designed to be equal to the distance f, and the distance f is the front end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard board X before starting to the axis 51 of the sixth paper feed roller column 5F. The distance from the center. Further, in order to intermittently transfer the corrugated cardboard X one by one to the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z, it is necessary to stop the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F before the start time t0' of the next cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to make the time t2 at which the paper feeding device 1 ends one cycle smaller than the start time t0' of the next cycle.

Next, when the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are activated, the pulse wave generators PG attached to the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F respectively feed back the pulse wave signals to the motor. The first to sixth servo motor drive circuits 74A to 74F of the drive circuit 74 perform feedback control, thereby controlling the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F to follow the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F in advance. Set the speed mode. In other words, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled to form a rapid acceleration state and a synchronous state (synchronous state) from the start time in accordance with the speed modes of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F, respectively. And the state of urgency is stopped.

Further, the speed mode control circuit 73 can store the above-described various processes as the first to sixth speed modes in addition to the rapid acceleration processing, the synchronization processing, and the emergency stop processing for the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F. The speed mode of the control circuits 73A to 73F. In addition, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F calculate the time tx required for one cycle from the start time t0 to the end time t2 of the cycle according to the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z. The cycle required time tx is input to the speed modes of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F, respectively, and the rotation amounts of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are respectively output, thereby using the first to sixth feeds. Each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the paper cylinder rows 5A to 5F is processed as a synchronous position command during a cycle of the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z.

Further, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F which are activated by the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits 72A to 72F of the timing monitoring circuit 72 are in the first to sixth servo motors. 6A~6F will return to zero every time it starts, and the rotation amount of the first to sixth servo motors 6A~6F will also be zero. In other words, the speed mode of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F synchronized with each other for one cycle of the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z And the amount of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F is repeatedly outputted once.

The present invention is exemplified herein by the embodiment in which the power control circuit 7 controls the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F in a period of one cycle. Since the printing apparatus Z uses a printing cylinder having an outer diameter of 1100 mm, the corrugated cardboard X having a front-back direction length w of 947 mm is applied, and the paper feeding device 1 conveys the corrugated cardboard X to the printing apparatus Z at a speed of 350 sheets per minute. Printing cylinder. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, when the corrugated cardboard X having the front-back direction length w of 947 mm is conveyed at a speed of 350 sheets per minute, the amount of rotation of the servo motor is nearly one full turn (360°), and as shown in FIG. It is shown that when the corrugated cardboard X having a front-back direction length w of 275 mm is conveyed at a speed of 350 sheets per minute, the amount of rotation of the servo motor is nearly one-third of a turn. At a conveying speed of 350 sheets per minute, one cycle time required to transport each lowermost corrugated cardboard X to the printing cylinder of the printing device Z is about 160 msec to 180 msec. In order to make the rotation amount of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F more clear, a corrugated cardboard X having a length in the front-rear direction w of 947 mm is conveyed at a speed of 350 sheets per minute as an example.

First, when the paper feed command signal Z1 synchronized with the cycle time of the printing device Z and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder are output to the timing monitoring circuit 72, the timing monitoring circuit 72 is based on the paper feed command signal Z1 and a cycle of the printing cylinder. Signal Z2 activates speed mode control circuit 73. In detail, the paper feed command signal Z1 and the one-cycle signal Z2 of the printing cylinder are respectively transmitted to the first to sixth servo motor timing monitoring circuits 72A to 72F of the timing monitoring circuit 72, and are printed according to the paper feed command signal Z1 and printing. The one-cycle signal Z2 of the drum activates the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F of the speed mode control circuit 73, respectively. Further, each of the suction units 4 corresponding to the front side of each of the guide plates 3 and located at the front side portion of the casing 20, and the suction unit corresponding to the rear side of each of the guide plates 3 and located at the rear side portion of the casing 20 are all in operation. .

Next, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F perform the speed patterns of the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller trains 5A to 5F in accordance with preset values set in the setting unit 75. At the same time, the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F calculate the time tx required for one cycle of the paper feeding device 1, and input the time tx required for one cycle to the first to sixth speed mode controls, respectively. The speed patterns of the circuits 73A to 73F output the amounts of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F, respectively. The set value includes the length w in the front-rear direction of the corrugated cardboard X, and the distance from the front end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X before starting to the axis 51 of the first to fourth and sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D, 5F. a, b, c, d, f, and first In the sixth paper feed roller row 5A to 5F, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is synchronized with the one-cycle operation of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z.

Then, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are activated in accordance with the speed patterns of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F, and are rapidly accelerated to the highest speed until the time t1 is reached to make the rotation speed and the printing device Z. The circumferential speeds of the printing cylinders are uniform to synchronize the one-cycle operation of each of the paper feed rollers 5 and the printing cylinders of the printing device Z. After the time t1 is reached, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F maintain the constant speed rotation at the same speed as the peripheral speed of the printing cylinder of the printing apparatus Z.

Thereafter, when the encoders measure that the first to fourth and sixth servo motors 6A to 6D, 6F have reached the speed mode of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F and calculate the time tx according to a cycle. When the amount of rotation is made, the paper feeding device 1 determines that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to fourth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5D and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F are in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and individually The first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled such that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are sequentially stopped from the high rotation speed state.

Specifically, the front end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard X before starting is the farthest from the axis 51 of the fourth paper feed roller row 5D, and when the encoder measures that the fourth servo motor 6D has reached the amount of rotation thereof, the paper feeding device 1 is judged that each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the fourth paper feed roller row 5D is in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and controls the fourth servo motor 6D to sequentially feed the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the fourth paper feed roller row 5D. It stops suddenly from a high speed state. Then, when the encoders measure the distance from the front end of the lowermost corrugated cardboard board X before the start to the axis 51 of the fourth paper feed roller row 5D, the third servo motor 6C, the second servo motor 6B and the first servo are sequentially measured. When the motor 6A has reached the amount of rotation, the paper feeding device 1 sequentially determines that each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the third to first paper feed roller rows 5C to 5A is in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and controls the first The three servo motor 6C, the second servo motor 6B, and the first servo motor 6A sequentially sequentially feed the third paper feed roller row 5C, the second paper feed roller row 5B, and the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first paper feed roller row 5A. The high speed state is suddenly stopped. In addition, when the encoder measures that the sixth servo motor 6F has reached the amount of rotation thereof, the paper feeding device 1 determines that each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the sixth paper feed roller row 5F is in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and The fifth servo motor 6E and the sixth servo motor 6F are controlled such that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the fifth paper feed roller row 5E and the sixth paper feed roller row 5F are simultaneously stopped from the high rotation speed state.

Further, the paper feeding device 1 repeats the same operation in the subsequent cycle. Detailed The first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F also calculate the speed patterns of the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F, and calculate a cycle of the paper feeding device 1 at the same time. The required time tx is input to the speed patterns of the first to sixth speed mode control circuits 73A to 73F, respectively, and the rotation amounts of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are respectively output, and then the rotation amounts of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are respectively output, and then Further, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled according to the amounts of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F, so that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are sequentially The high speed state is suddenly stopped. Among them, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is synchronized with the one-cycle operation of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the plurality of paper feed rollers 5 are respectively disposed in the width direction of the paper feed table 2 in accordance with the width direction and the front-rear direction of the lowermost corrugated cardboard sheet X, and each of the paper feed rollers The fifth system is provided in front of and behind the respective guide plates 3 to sandwich the respective guide plates 3. At the same time, each of the paper feed rollers 5 is arranged at six intervals at equal intervals to form first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F, and the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are respectively coupled to different shafts 51. The first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are respectively coupled to the individually disposed first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F via the shaft 51. Further, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are individually controlled, and during the period in which the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are in contact with each other to transport the lowermost corrugated cardboard X. The first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled so that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are rapidly accelerated from a stopped state to a synchronized high rotation state, and the other is On the other hand, during the period of the period, when it is determined that the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F are in a non-contact state with the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, the first to sixth servos are respectively controlled. The motors 6A to 6F cause the respective paper feed rollers 5 of the first to sixth paper feed roller rows 5A to 5F to be suddenly stopped from the high rotation speed state. Therefore, the paper feeding device 1 of the present embodiment does not need to use the clutch and the brake to control the motor, and only needs to individually control the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F, and through the first to sixth paper feed roller columns 5A to 5F. Each of the paper feed rollers 5 transports the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, which simplifies the construction and increases the speed at which the corrugated cardboard X is conveyed to the printing cylinder of the printing device Z without individually lifting and lowering each of the paper feed rollers.

In addition, when each encoder measures that the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F have reached the rotation amount required for each of the first to sixth paper feed roller rollers 5A to 5F to feed the lowermost corrugated cardboard sheet X The paper feeding device 1 determines that each of the paper feed rollers 5 and the lowermost corrugated cardboard X are In the non-contact state, the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F are controlled so that the respective paper feed rollers 5 are suddenly stopped from the high rotation speed state. Since the paper feeding device 1 of the present embodiment individually measures the amount of rotation of the first to sixth servo motors 6A to 6F through the encoder, it is possible to more reliably determine whether each of the paper feed roller 5 and the lowermost corrugated cardboard X are in a non- Contact status.

The amount of rotation of the 6F, wherein each of the paper feed rollers 5 of the first, fifth and sixth paper feed roller rows 5A, 5E, 5F is synchronized with the one cycle operation of the printing cylinder of the printing device Z. At this time, the second to fourth servo motors 6B to 6D are in a freely rotatable free state, and are rotated together by conveying the lowermost corrugated cardboard X.

In addition, the suction units 4, 4 are in a non-operating state, and at this time, the front layer of the guide plates 3 will not attract the lowermost corrugated cardboard X, and only the lowermost corrugated cardboard X behind the respective guide plates 3 will Attracted by other attraction units.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the power control circuit 7 only needs to control the first servo motor 6A and the fifth servo motor 6E during each cycle of the paper feeding device 1, so that the sixth servo motor 6F can be at the highest speed state at any time. Rotation is performed, whereby the flow of control can be simplified.
