Description

綴じ媒体めくり装置及び綴じ媒体読取装置Binding medium turning apparatus and binding medium reading apparatus
　本発明は、綴じ媒体めくり装置及び綴じ媒体読取装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a binding medium turning apparatus and a binding medium reading apparatus.
　書籍等の綴じ媒体のページを１ページずつめくるために用いられる綴じ媒体めくり装置が知られている。この種の綴じ媒体めくり装置は、例えば、綴じ媒体のページを持ち上げる持ち上げ部を備えるものがある。 2. Description of the Related Art A binding medium turning device used for turning a page of a binding medium such as a book one page at a time is known. Such a binding medium turning apparatus includes, for example, a lifting unit that lifts a page of the binding medium.
　関連技術の綴じ媒体めくり装置が有する持ち上げ部としては、綴じ媒体のめくり対象であるページに粘着テープを接触させ、粘着テープと共にページを持ち上げる技術が知られている。 As a lifting unit included in a related-art binding medium turning device, a technique is known in which an adhesive tape is brought into contact with a page that is a target of turning of the binding medium, and the page is lifted together with the adhesive tape.
特開平４－３１９４９４号公報JP-A-4-319494
　しかしながら、関連技術の綴じ媒体めくり装置では、供給軸から供給されて巻取軸に巻き取られる粘着テープをページに接触させており、ページに接触する粘着テープに所定の張力が付与されていない。このため、特に粘着テープが撓んだ状態でページに接着された場合等に、粘着テープとページとの接触状態が変動しやすく、粘着テープとページとの剥離性が低下するおそれがあった。したがって、関連技術では、持ち上げ部が持ち上げたページのめくる動作の信頼性が乏しかった。 However, in the related art binding medium turning device, the adhesive tape supplied from the supply shaft and wound on the winding shaft is brought into contact with the page, and a predetermined tension is not applied to the adhesive tape in contact with the page. For this reason, especially when the adhesive tape is adhered to the page in a bent state, the contact state between the adhesive tape and the page is likely to fluctuate, and the peelability between the adhesive tape and the page may be reduced. Therefore, in the related art, the reliability of the operation of turning the page lifted by the lifting portion is poor.
　一方、粘着テープとページとの接触状態を安定化させ、粘着テープとページとの剥離性を高めるために、粘着テープに所定の張力を付与することが考えられる。しかしながら、単に粘着テープに張力を付与した場合には、ページの持ち上げ動作中、粘着テープとページとの接触状態を維持しにくくなり、移動するページから接着テープが剥離しやすくなるという不都合があった。 On the other hand, in order to stabilize the contact state between the adhesive tape and the page and improve the peelability between the adhesive tape and the page, it is conceivable to apply a predetermined tension to the adhesive tape. However, when tension is simply applied to the adhesive tape, it is difficult to maintain the contact state between the adhesive tape and the page during the lifting operation of the page, and there is a disadvantage that the adhesive tape is easily peeled off from the moving page. .
　開示の技術は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであって、綴じ媒体のめくり動作の信頼性を高めることができる綴じ媒体めくり装置及び綴じ媒体読取装置を提供することを目的とする。 The disclosed technique has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a binding medium turning device and a binding medium reading device that can improve the reliability of the turning operation of the binding medium.
　本願の開示する綴じ媒体めくり装置の一態様は、粘着材を供給する供給部と、前記供給部から供給された前記粘着材を巻き取る巻取部と、前記供給部と前記巻取部との間の前記粘着材に張力を付与する張力付与部と、を有し、綴じ媒体におけるめくり対象に接した前記粘着材を移動させることで、前記綴じ媒体から前記めくり対象を持ち上げる持ち上げ部と、前記持ち上げ部が持ち上げた前記めくり対象を移動させることで、前記めくり対象をめくるめくり部と、を備える。前記持ち上げ部は、前記綴じ媒体の綴じ部の延在方向から見たときに、前記粘着材と前記めくり対象との接触部の軌跡の少なくとも一部が、前記接触部が前記綴じ部を中心として回転可能な円弧の内周側に含まれるように、前記粘着材を移動させる。 One aspect of the binding medium turning device disclosed in the present application includes: a supply unit that supplies an adhesive material; a winding unit that winds up the adhesive material supplied from the supply unit; and the supply unit and the winding unit. A tension applying section that applies tension to the adhesive material in between, and a lifting section that lifts the turning target from the binding medium by moving the adhesive material in contact with the target to be turned in the binding medium; and And a turning part for turning the turning object by moving the turning object lifted by the lifting part. When the lifting portion is viewed from the extending direction of the binding portion of the binding medium, at least a part of the locus of the contact portion between the adhesive material and the turning target is such that the contact portion is centered on the binding portion. The adhesive material is moved so as to be included on the inner peripheral side of the rotatable arc.
　本願の開示する綴じ媒体めくり装置の一態様によれば、綴じ媒体のめくり動作の信頼性を高めることができる。 According to one aspect of the binding medium turning device disclosed in the present application, it is possible to improve the reliability of the binding medium turning operation.

　（ピックアップ部の構成）
　図５及び図６は、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６が有するピックアップ部１１を示す図であり、図５が斜視図、図６が側面図である。図１～図３、図５及び図６に示すように、ピックアップ部１１は、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂに接するピックアップ２１と、ピックアップ２１を可動可能に支持する上アーム２２と、上アーム２２を回動可能に支持する下アーム２３と、上アーム２２を介してピックアップ２１を昇降させる昇降機構２４と、を有する。 (Pickup configuration)
5 and 6 are diagrams showing the pickup unit 11 included in the binding medium turning device 6 according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is a perspective view and FIG. 6 is a side view.

And a lifting mechanism 24 that lifts and lowers the pickup 21 via the upper arm 22.
　ピックアップ２１は、粘着テープ２５を供給する供給部としての供給リール２６と、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５を巻き取る巻取部としての巻取リール２７と、めくり対象３ｂに粘着テープ２５を押圧する押圧部材としての押圧ローラ２８と、を有する。供給リール２６には、所定量の粘着テープ２５が巻回されている。押圧ローラ２８は、例えば、ゴム材等の弾性材料によって円柱状に形成されており、弾性変形することで、めくり対象３ｂの表面に対して粘着テープ２５の粘着面を適正に押圧して接着させる。 The pickup 21 includes a supply reel 26 serving as a supply unit that supplies the adhesive tape 25, a take-up reel 27 serving as a take-up unit that winds the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and an adhesive tape 25 applied to the turning target 3b. And a pressing roller 28 as a pressing member for pressing. A predetermined amount of adhesive tape 25 is wound around the supply reel 26. For example, the pressing roller 28 is formed in a cylindrical shape by an elastic material such as a rubber material, and by being elastically deformed, the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 25 is appropriately pressed and adhered to the surface of the turning target 3b. .
　また、ピックアップ２１は、供給リール２６、巻取リール２７及び押圧ローラ２８を支持するヘッド部材３０を有する。ヘッド部材３０には、供給リール２６、巻取リール２７及び押圧ローラ２８をそれぞれ支持する各回転軸（図示せず）が設けられている。また、下アーム２３の基端側は、基台９上に固定されている。 The pickup 21 has a head member 30 that supports a supply reel 26, a take-up reel 27, and a pressing roller 28. The head member 30 is provided with rotating shafts (not shown) that support the supply reel 26, the take-up reel 27, and the pressing roller 28, respectively. Further, the base end side of the lower arm 23 is fixed on the base 9.
　また、ピックアップ２１は、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間の粘着テープ２５に所定の張力を付与する張力付与部としての張力付与機構３２と、巻取リール２７を回転駆動させる巻取機構３３と、を有する。張力付与機構３２は、粘着テープ２５に所定の張力を付与することにより、張力が加わった状態で粘着テープ２５がめくり対象３ｂに接触するので、接触状態が安定すると共に、めくり対象３ｂに対する剥離性が高められる。 The pickup 21 includes a tension applying mechanism 32 as a tension applying unit that applies a predetermined tension to the adhesive tape 25 between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27, and a take-up mechanism that rotates the take-up reel 27. 33. The tension applying mechanism 32 applies a predetermined tension to the adhesive tape 25, so that the adhesive tape 25 comes into contact with the turning target 3b in a state where the tension is applied, so that the contact state is stabilized and the peelability to the turning target 3b is obtained. Is increased.
　巻取機構３３は、巻取リール２７を駆動する駆動モータを有し、制御部１５から所定のタイミングで送られる巻き開始信号であるトリガＴ（図４）が入力されることによって、粘着テープ２５を一定量だけ巻き取る巻取動作を開始する。巻取機構３３は、粘着力が低下した粘着テープ２５を巻取リール２７に巻き取ることで、押圧ローラ２８が押圧する部分へ粘着テープ２５を送り、押圧ローラ２８が押圧する粘着テープ２５の粘着力を一定に保っている。 The take-up mechanism 33 has a drive motor that drives the take-up reel 27, and receives a trigger T (FIG. 4) that is a winding start signal sent from the control unit 15 at a predetermined timing. The winding operation for winding a certain amount is started. The take-up mechanism 33 winds the adhesive tape 25 whose adhesive force has been reduced around the take-up reel 27, thereby feeding the adhesive tape 25 to a portion pressed by the pressing roller 28, and the adhesive of the adhesive tape 25 pressed by the pressing roller 28. The power is kept constant.
　なお、巻取機構３３は、後述するラチェット機構４１を介して昇降機構２４と連動するように構成される場合、駆動モータが省かれる。また、本発明における供給部は、供給リール２６を支持する回転軸を含めて指している。また、本発明における巻取部は、巻取リール２７を支持する回転軸、巻取機構３３及びや駆動モータを含めて指している。 Note that when the winding mechanism 33 is configured to be interlocked with the elevating mechanism 24 via a ratchet mechanism 41 described later, the drive motor is omitted. Further, the supply unit in the present invention indicates a rotation shaft that supports the supply reel 26. Further, the winding unit in the present invention refers to the rotating shaft that supports the winding reel 27, the winding mechanism 33, and the drive motor.
　昇降機構２４は、駆動モータ２４ａと、駆動モータ２４ａが駆動ベルト２４ｃを介して回転駆動させるプーリ２４ｂやギア群２４ｄを有しており、下アーム２３に対して上アーム２２を回動させる共に、上アーム２２に対してピックアップ２１を回動させる。このように昇降機構２４は、下アーム２３に対して上アーム２２及びピックアップ２１をそれぞれ回動させることで、ピックアップ２１を載置台８上の綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａに対して昇降させる。また、昇降機構２４は、後述するラチェット機構４１を介して巻取機構３３と連結されてもよい。 The elevating mechanism 24 has a drive motor 24a and a pulley 24b and a gear group 24d that the drive motor 24a drives to rotate via the drive belt 24c, and rotates the upper arm 22 with respect to the lower arm 23. The pickup 21 is rotated with respect to the upper arm 22. Thus, the lifting mechanism 24 moves the pickup 21 up and down with respect to the spread surface 3 a of the binding medium 3 on the mounting table 8 by rotating the upper arm 22 and the pickup 21 with respect to the lower arm 23. Further, the elevating mechanism 24 may be connected to the winding mechanism 33 via a ratchet mechanism 41 described later.
　図７Ａ及び図７Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間における粘着テープ２５の経路の一例を説明するための模式図である。図７Ａに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを開始した状態を示し、図７Ｂに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを終了した状態を示す。 7A and 7B are schematic diagrams for explaining an example of a path of the adhesive tape 25 between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27 in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a state where the take-up reel 27 has started winding the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and FIG. 7B shows the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26 to the take-up reel 27. The state where the winding of is finished is shown.
　図７Ａ及び図７Ｂに示すように、ピックアップ部１１のピックアップ２１は、供給リール２６の回転方向と巻取リール２７の回転方向とが逆方向となるように、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間に粘着テープ２５の経路が設けられている。粘着テープ２５の経路は、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間に配置された押圧ローラ２８を通るように設けられている。そして、粘着テープ２５は、粘着面を巻取リール２７の外周側に向けた状態で巻取リール２７に巻き取られる。 As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the pickup 21 of the pickup unit 11 includes the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27 so that the rotation direction of the supply reel 26 and the rotation direction of the take-up reel 27 are opposite to each other. A path for the adhesive tape 25 is provided between them. The path of the adhesive tape 25 is provided so as to pass through a pressing roller 28 disposed between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27. The adhesive tape 25 is wound around the take-up reel 27 with the adhesive surface facing the outer peripheral side of the take-up reel 27.
　供給リール２６の回転軸には、粘着テープ２５に張力を付与する張力付与機構３２が設けられている。張力付与機構３２は、例えば、トーションバネ等の付勢部材３２ａを有し、供給リール２６の回転軸に回転負荷を加えている。供給リール２６は、付勢部材３２ａの回転付勢力によって、粘着テープ２５を供給するときの回転方向とは逆方向に回転されるように付勢されており、回転負荷が加えられている。これにより、張力付与機構３２は、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間の粘着テープ２５に所定の張力を付与している。 A tension applying mechanism 32 that applies tension to the adhesive tape 25 is provided on the rotation shaft of the supply reel 26. The tension applying mechanism 32 includes, for example, an urging member 32 a such as a torsion spring, and applies a rotational load to the rotation shaft of the supply reel 26. The supply reel 26 is urged to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction when the adhesive tape 25 is supplied by the rotation urging force of the urging member 32a, and a rotational load is applied. As a result, the tension applying mechanism 32 applies a predetermined tension to the adhesive tape 25 between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27.
　このようにピックアップ２１は、粘着テープ２５に所定の張力が付与されることで、張力が加わった状態で粘着テープ２５がめくり対象３ｂに接するので、めくり対象３ｂに対する粘着テープ２５の剥離性が高められている。 As described above, the pickup 21 is given a predetermined tension to the adhesive tape 25 so that the adhesive tape 25 comes into contact with the turning target 3b in a state where the tension is applied. It has been.
　図８Ａ及び図８Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間における粘着テープ２５の経路の他の例を説明するための模式図である。図８Ａに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを開始した状態を示し、図８Ｂに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを終了した状態を示す。 8A and 8B are schematic views for explaining another example of the path of the adhesive tape 25 between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27 in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the take-up reel 27 has started winding the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and FIG. 8B shows an adhesive tape 25 in which the take-up reel 27 is supplied from the supply reel 26. The state where the winding of is finished is shown.
　図８Ａ及び図８Ｂに示すように、ピックアップ部１１のピックアップ２１は、供給リール２６の回転方向と巻取リール２７の回転方向とが同一方向となるように、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間に粘着テープ２５の経路が設けられている。粘着テープ２５の経路は、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間に配置された押圧ローラ２８を通るように設けられている。そして、粘着テープ２５は、粘着面を巻取リール２７の内周側に向けた状態で巻取リール２７に巻き取られる。 As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the pickup 21 of the pickup unit 11 includes the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27 so that the rotation direction of the supply reel 26 and the rotation direction of the take-up reel 27 are the same. A path for the adhesive tape 25 is provided between them. The path of the adhesive tape 25 is provided so as to pass through a pressing roller 28 disposed between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27. The adhesive tape 25 is wound around the take-up reel 27 with the adhesive surface facing the inner peripheral side of the take-up reel 27.
　この構成例においても、上述と同様に、付勢部材３２ａの回転付勢力によって、供給リール２６が、粘着テープ２５を供給するときの回転方向とは逆方向に回転されるように付勢されている。これにより、粘着テープ２５に所定の張力が付与されており、めくり対象３ｂに対する粘着テープ２５の剥離性が高められている。 Also in this configuration example, as described above, the supply reel 26 is biased by the rotation biasing force of the biasing member 32a so as to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction when the adhesive tape 25 is supplied. Yes. Thereby, the predetermined | prescribed tension | tensile_strength is provided to the adhesive tape 25, and the peelability of the adhesive tape 25 with respect to the turning target 3b is improved.
　図９は、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１が有する張力付与機構の一例について説明するための模式図である。図９に示すように、ピックアップ部１１のピックアップ２１に設けられた張力付与機構３４は、供給リール２６の回転軸を回転させる供給側ギア３４ａと、巻取リール２７の回転軸を回転させる巻取側ギア３４ｂと、供給側ギア３４ａと巻取側ギア３４ｂとに噛み合う連結ギア３４ｃと、を有する。 FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a tension applying mechanism of the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the tension applying mechanism 34 provided in the pickup 21 of the pickup unit 11 includes a supply side gear 34 a that rotates the rotation shaft of the supply reel 26 and a winding that rotates the rotation shaft of the take-up reel 27. A side gear 34b, and a connecting gear 34c that meshes with the supply side gear 34a and the winding side gear 34b.
　巻取側ギア３４ｂは、供給側ギア３４ａに比べて、ギア比が小さくされており、巻取リール２７の回転量が、供給リール２６の回転量よりも所定量だけ大きくなるように設定されている。これによって、巻取リール２７に巻き取られる粘着テープ２５の長さが、供給リール２６から供給される粘着テープ２５の長さよりもやや長くなり、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間の粘着テープ２５に所定の張力が付与される。なお、巻取側ギア３４ｂや、巻取リール２７の回転軸には、各ギア３４ａ～３４ｃ間で歯飛びが生じることや、粘着テープ２５に過剰な張力が加わることを防ぐために、トルクリミッタ等が設けられてもよい。 The take-up gear 34b has a gear ratio smaller than that of the supply-side gear 34a, and the rotation amount of the take-up reel 27 is set to be larger than the rotation amount of the supply reel 26 by a predetermined amount. Yes. As a result, the length of the adhesive tape 25 wound around the take-up reel 27 becomes slightly longer than the length of the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and the adhesive between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27 is increased. A predetermined tension is applied to the tape 25. In order to prevent tooth skipping between the gears 34a to 34c and excessive tension on the adhesive tape 25 on the take-up side gear 34b and the rotation shaft of the take-up reel 27, a torque limiter, etc. May be provided.
　図１０Ａ及び図１０Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１が有する張力付与機構の他の例について説明するための模式図である。図１０Ａに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを開始した状態を示し、図１０Ｂに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを終了した状態を示す。 FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are schematic diagrams for explaining another example of the tension applying mechanism of the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. FIG. 10A shows a state where the take-up reel 27 has started winding the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and FIG. 10B shows the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26 to the take-up reel 27. The state where the winding of is finished is shown.
　図１０Ａ及び図１０Ｂに示すように、ピックアップ部１１のピックアップ２１に設けられた張力付与機構３５は、供給リール２６に巻回された粘着テープ２５を供給リール２６の径方向に押圧する押圧板３５ａと、押圧板３５ａを供給リール２６に押圧させる方向に付勢するコイルバネ等の付勢部材３５ｂと、を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the tension applying mechanism 35 provided in the pickup 21 of the pickup unit 11 presses the adhesive tape 25 wound around the supply reel 26 in the radial direction of the supply reel 26. And an urging member 35b such as a coil spring that urges the pressing plate 35a in a direction in which the pressing plate 35a is pressed against the supply reel 26.
　押圧板３５ａは、粘着テープ２５の粘着面の反対側を、粘着テープ２５の幅方向にわたって押圧するように配置されている。張力付与機構３５は、押圧板３５ａによって、供給リール２６から供給される粘着テープ２５を所定の押圧力で押圧することで、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間で粘着テープ２５に所定の張力を付与する。 The pressing plate 35 a is disposed so as to press the opposite side of the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape 25 over the width direction of the adhesive tape 25. The tension applying mechanism 35 presses the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26 with a predetermined pressing force by the pressing plate 35 a, thereby applying a predetermined pressure to the adhesive tape 25 between the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27. Apply tension.
　図１１は、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１が有する張力付与機構の更に他の例について説明するための模式図である。図１１に示すように、ピックアップ部１１のピックアップ２１に設けられた張力付与機構３７は、供給リール２６から粘着テープ２５を供給するときの回転方向とは逆方向に供給リール２６を回転させるように回転軸を駆動する駆動機構（図示せず）と、駆動機構による回転軸の回転トルクを一定に規制するトルクリミッタ３７ａと、を有する。 FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining still another example of the tension applying mechanism of the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the tension applying mechanism 37 provided on the pickup 21 of the pickup unit 11 rotates the supply reel 26 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction when the adhesive tape 25 is supplied from the supply reel 26. It has a drive mechanism (not shown) for driving the rotation shaft, and a torque limiter 37a for restricting the rotational torque of the rotation shaft by the drive mechanism to be constant.
　張力付与機構３７は、粘着テープ２５を供給するときの回転方向とは逆方向に供給リール２６の回転軸を回転駆動させると共に、トルクリミッタ３７ａによって粘着テープ２５に一定の張力を付与するように回転トルクを保つ。このため、張力付与機構３７は、回転軸の回転負荷によって張力を付与するので、巻取リール２７に巻き取られた粘着テープ２５の巻き取り量にかかわらず、供給リール２６と巻取リール２７との間で粘着テープ２５に常に一定の張力を付与することができる。 The tension applying mechanism 37 rotates the rotation axis of the supply reel 26 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction when the adhesive tape 25 is supplied, and rotates so as to apply a constant tension to the adhesive tape 25 by the torque limiter 37a. Keep the torque. For this reason, since the tension applying mechanism 37 applies tension by the rotational load of the rotating shaft, the supply reel 26, the take-up reel 27, and the take-up reel 27, regardless of the amount of the adhesive tape 25 taken up by the take-up reel 27. A constant tension can always be applied to the adhesive tape 25.
　なお、トルクリミッタ３７ａを用いて一定に保たれる回転トルクは、粘着テープ２５の粘着力よりも大きく、粘着テープ２５の引張強度よりも小さく設定する必要がある。トルクリミッタ３７ａを用いた一定の回転トルクが、粘着テープ２５の粘着力よりも小さい場合には、粘着テープ２５に所定の張力を生じさせることができないので適正でない。また、トルクリミッタ３７ａを用いた所定の回転トルクが、粘着テープ２５の引張強度よりも大きい場合には、張力によって粘着テープ２５を損傷させてしまうので適正でない。 In addition, it is necessary to set the rotational torque kept constant using the torque limiter 37a to be larger than the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 25 and smaller than the tensile strength of the adhesive tape 25. When the constant rotational torque using the torque limiter 37a is smaller than the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 25, it is not appropriate because a predetermined tension cannot be generated in the adhesive tape 25. Further, if the predetermined rotational torque using the torque limiter 37a is larger than the tensile strength of the adhesive tape 25, the adhesive tape 25 is damaged by the tension, which is not appropriate.
　なお、図示しないが、粘着テープ２５が巻取リール２７に巻き取られる前、すなわち使用前の供給リール２６の外径よりも、巻取リール２７の外径を大きく構成し、巻取リール２７と供給リール２６を同一の回転速度で回転させてもよい。これにより、巻取リール２７に巻き取られる粘着テープ２５の移動量が、供給リール２６から供給される粘着テープ２５の移動量よりも常に大きくなるので、粘着テープ２５に張力を付与することができる。 Although not shown, the outer diameter of the take-up reel 27 is configured to be larger than the outer diameter of the supply reel 26 before the adhesive tape 25 is taken up by the take-up reel 27, that is, before use. The supply reel 26 may be rotated at the same rotational speed. As a result, the amount of movement of the adhesive tape 25 wound around the take-up reel 27 is always larger than the amount of movement of the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, so that tension can be applied to the adhesive tape 25. .
　図１２Ａ～１２Ｃは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１が有する押圧ローラ２８によって粘着テープ２５がめくり対象３ｂに接着された状態を示す図であり、図１２Ａが正面図、図１２Ｂが側面図、図１２Ｃが平面図である。 12A to 12C are views showing a state where the adhesive tape 25 is bonded to the turning target 3b by the pressing roller 28 of the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment, FIG. 12A is a front view, FIG. 12B is a side view, and FIG. Is a plan view.
　図１２Ａに示すように、ピックアップ部１１は、昇降機構２４によってピックアップ２１を下降させることで、押圧ローラ２８の周面に渡された粘着テープ２５の粘着面が、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂに接着する。このとき、押圧ローラ２８は、回転軸がめくり対象３ｂの表面（紙面）とほぼ平行な状態でめくり対象３ｂに押圧される。このように押圧ローラ２８によって押圧された粘着テープ２５は、図１２Ｂ及び図１２Ｃに示すように、めくり対象３ｂの表面に対して、粘着テープ２５の長さ方向における所定の範囲が、粘着テープ２５の幅方向にわたって接着されることで、矩形状の接着領域Ｒ１が生じる。 As shown in FIG. 12A, the pickup unit 11 lowers the pickup 21 by the lifting mechanism 24, so that the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape 25 passed to the peripheral surface of the pressing roller 28 becomes the turning target 3 b of the binding medium 3. Glue. At this time, the pressing roller 28 is pressed against the turning target 3b in a state where the rotation axis is substantially parallel to the surface (paper surface) of the turning target 3b. As shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, the adhesive tape 25 pressed by the pressing roller 28 has a predetermined range in the length direction of the adhesive tape 25 with respect to the surface of the turning target 3b. By adhering over the width direction, a rectangular adhesive region R1 is generated.
　ピックアップ２１が有する押圧ローラの形状は、円筒状に限定されるものではない。図１３は、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、他の例の押圧ローラを示す斜視図である。図１３に示すように、押圧ローラ３８は、弾性材料によって形成されており、円柱状の小径部３８ａと、小径部３８ａの軸方向における中央の軸周りに形成された大径部３８ｂと、を有する。言い換えると、押圧ローラ３８は、粘着テープ２５がめくり対象３ｂに接するときに粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触面に直交する方向における位置が異なる複数の押圧部としての小径部３８ａ及び大径部３８ｂを有する。 The shape of the pressing roller included in the pickup 21 is not limited to a cylindrical shape. FIG. 13: is a perspective view which shows the press roller of another example about the pick-up part 11 in an Example. As shown in FIG. 13, the pressing roller 38 is made of an elastic material, and includes a cylindrical small-diameter portion 38 a and a large-diameter portion 38 b formed around the central axis in the axial direction of the small-diameter portion 38 a. Have. In other words, the pressing roller 38 has a small diameter portion 38a and a large diameter as a plurality of pressing portions whose positions in the direction orthogonal to the contact surface between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b differ when the adhesive tape 25 contacts the turning target 3b. It has a part 38b.
　押圧ローラ３８は、小径部３８ａの軸方向に沿って回転軸に支持されている。大径部３８ｂの直径は、例えば、小径部３８ａの直径の１．５倍から２倍程度に形成されている。また、この構成例では、小径部３８ａ及び大径部３８ｂが共に弾性材料によって形成されるが、小径部３８ａが剛性を有する材料によって形成されてもよい。また、押圧ローラ３８は、例えば、小径部３８ａの軸方向における両端部に、小径部３８ａよりも直径を小さくした押圧部が更に設けられてもよく、小径部３８ａに複数の大径部３８ｂが設けられてもよい。 The pressing roller 38 is supported by the rotating shaft along the axial direction of the small diameter portion 38a. The diameter of the large diameter portion 38b is, for example, about 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the small diameter portion 38a. In this configuration example, the small diameter portion 38a and the large diameter portion 38b are both formed of an elastic material, but the small diameter portion 38a may be formed of a rigid material. In addition, for example, the pressing roller 38 may be further provided with a pressing portion having a diameter smaller than that of the small diameter portion 38a at both ends in the axial direction of the small diameter portion 38a. The small diameter portion 38a includes a plurality of large diameter portions 38b. It may be provided.
　また、押圧ローラは、粘着テープ２５の幅方向に対して湾曲された周面を有する樽状に形成されてもよく、押圧ローラがめくり対象３ｂの表面に対して傾いた場合であっても、周面の一部がめくり対象３ｂの表面と平行になるので、粘着テープ２５をめくり対象３ｂに適正に押し当てることが可能になる。また、このような押圧ローラや上述の押圧ローラ３８を用いる場合、制御部１５は、めくり対象３ｂである媒体の接着条件に応じて、押圧ローラ３８の回転軸とめくり対象３ｂの表面とがなす傾斜角を制御することで、接着領域を増減させてもよい。 Further, the pressing roller may be formed in a barrel shape having a circumferential surface curved with respect to the width direction of the adhesive tape 25, and even when the pressing roller is inclined with respect to the surface of the turning target 3b, Since a part of the peripheral surface is parallel to the surface of the turning target 3b, the adhesive tape 25 can be properly pressed against the turning target 3b. Further, when such a pressure roller or the above-described pressure roller 38 is used, the control unit 15 forms the rotation axis of the pressure roller 38 and the surface of the turning target 3b according to the bonding condition of the medium that is the turning target 3b. The adhesion area may be increased or decreased by controlling the inclination angle.
　図１４Ａ～１４Ｃは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、他の例の押圧ローラ３８がめくり対象３ｂに水平に接触したときの粘着テープ２５の接着領域を模式的に示す図であり、図１４Ａが正面図、図１４Ｂが側面図、図１４Ｃが平面図である。 14A to 14C are diagrams schematically showing an adhesive region of the adhesive tape 25 when the pressing roller 38 of another example contacts the turning target 3b horizontally with respect to the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. FIG. 14B is a side view, and FIG. 14C is a plan view.
　まず、図１４Ａ及び図１４Ｂに示すように、押圧ローラ３８の回転軸の軸線がめくり対象３ｂの表面に対して平行となり、押圧ローラ３８がめくり対象３ｂに水平に接触した場合について説明する。この場合、押圧ローラ３８は、大径部３８ｂのみがめくり対象３ｂの表面に接触する。そして、円柱状の押圧ローラ２８を用いた場合と同様、図１４Ｃに示すように、めくり対象３ｂの表面に対して、粘着テープ２５の長さ方向における所定の範囲が、粘着テープ２５の幅方向にわたって接着されることで、矩形状の接着領域Ｒ２が生じる。 First, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the case where the axis of the rotation shaft of the pressing roller 38 is parallel to the surface of the turning target 3b and the pressing roller 38 contacts the turning target 3b horizontally will be described. In this case, only the large diameter portion 38b of the pressing roller 38 contacts the surface of the turning target 3b. Then, as in the case where the cylindrical pressing roller 28 is used, as shown in FIG. 14C, the predetermined range in the length direction of the adhesive tape 25 is the width direction of the adhesive tape 25 with respect to the surface of the turning target 3b. The rectangular adhesion region R <b> 2 is generated by being bonded over the entire area.
　図１５Ａ～１５Ｃは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、他の例の押圧ローラ３８がめくり対象３ｂに傾斜して接触したときの粘着テープ２５の接着領域を模式的に示す図であり、図１５Ａが正面図、図１５Ｂが側面図、図１５Ｃが平面図である。 15A to 15C are diagrams schematically showing an adhesive region of the adhesive tape 25 when the pressure roller 38 of another example is inclined and contacts the turning target 3b in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. Is a front view, FIG. 15B is a side view, and FIG. 15C is a plan view.
　つぎに、図１５Ａ及び図１５Ｂに示すように、押圧ローラ３８の回転軸の軸線がめくり対象３ｂの表面に対して傾斜して、押圧ローラ３８がめくり対象３ｂに斜め（以下、単に斜めと称する。）に接触した場合について説明する。この場合、押圧ローラ３８は、大径部３８ｂの一端側と小径部３８ａとに跨ってめくり対象３ｂの表面に接触する。そして、図１５Ｃに示すように、めくり対象３ｂの表面に対して、粘着テープ２５の幅方向における中央側から一端側に向かって徐々に接着されることで、三角形状の接着領域Ｒ３が生じる。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the axis of the rotation shaft of the pressing roller 38 is inclined with respect to the surface of the turning target 3b, and the pressing roller 38 is oblique to the turning target 3b (hereinafter simply referred to as oblique). .) Will be described. In this case, the pressing roller 38 contacts the surface of the turning target 3b across the one end side of the large diameter portion 38b and the small diameter portion 38a. And as shown to FIG. 15C, it adheres gradually from the center side in the width direction of the adhesive tape 25 toward the one end side with respect to the surface of the target 3b, and triangular adhesion area | region R3 arises.
　このように、押圧ローラ３８によれば、めくり対象３ｂに斜めに押圧された場合であっても、粘着テープ２５の接着領域Ｒ３を適正に確保することが可能になり、めくり対象３ｂの表面に直交する平面（鉛直面）内でピックアップ２１を回転させながらめくり対象３ｂに接触させることが可能になる。その結果、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１の昇降動作の自由度が高められ、ピックアップ部１１の小型化につながる。 As described above, according to the pressing roller 38, it is possible to appropriately secure the adhesion region R3 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 25 even when it is pressed obliquely by the turning target 3b, and on the surface of the turning target 3b. It becomes possible to make contact with the turning target 3b while rotating the pickup 21 in an orthogonal plane (vertical plane). As a result, the pickup unit 11 increases the degree of freedom of the lifting and lowering operation of the pickup 21 and leads to downsizing of the pickup unit 11.
　加えて、押圧ローラ３８は、めくり対象３ｂに斜めに押圧された場合であっても、粘着テープ２５の接着領域Ｒ３を確保できるので、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂの位置が、綴じ媒体３の厚み方向、つまり見開き面３ａの高さ方向に対して変動した場合であっても、粘着テープ２５をめくり対象３ｂに適正に接着させることができる。 In addition, since the pressing roller 38 can secure the adhesion region R3 of the adhesive tape 25 even when the pressing roller 38 is obliquely pressed against the turning target 3b, the position of the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 is the position of the binding medium 3. Even if it is a case where it fluctuates with respect to the thickness direction, that is, the height direction of the spread surface 3a, the adhesive tape 25 can be appropriately bonded to the turning target 3b.
　図１６Ａ及び図１６Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、他の例の押圧ローラ３８を用いて幅広及び幅狭の粘着テープ２５を斜めに押圧したときの接着領域を示す底面図である。図１６Ａに示すように、例えば、上述した押圧ローラ３８によって、幅広な幅Ｗ１の粘着テープ２５Ａをめくり対象３ｂに対して斜めに押圧した場合、めくり対象３ｂに押し当てられる粘着テープ２５Ａの範囲が広くなるので、粘着テープ２５Ａの幅方向の一方に、相対的に大きな三角形状の接着領域Ｒ３ａが生じる。一方で、図１６Ｂに示すように、幅狭な幅Ｗ２の粘着テープ２５Ｂをめくり対象３ｂに対して斜めに押圧した場合、めくり対象３ｂに押し当てられる粘着テープ２５Ｂの範囲が狭くなるので、粘着テープ２５Ｂの幅方向の一方に、相対的に小さな三角形状の接着領域Ｒ３ｂが生じる。 FIGS. 16A and 16B are bottom views showing an adhesion region when the wide and narrow adhesive tape 25 is obliquely pressed using the pressing roller 38 of another example for the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16A, for example, when the adhesive tape 25A having a wide width W1 is obliquely pressed against the turning target 3b by the above-described pressing roller 38, there is a range of the adhesive tape 25A pressed against the turning target 3b. Therefore, a relatively large triangular adhesive region R3a is formed on one side in the width direction of the adhesive tape 25A. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the adhesive tape 25B having a narrow width W2 is pressed obliquely against the turning target 3b, the range of the adhesive tape 25B pressed against the turning target 3b becomes narrow. A relatively small triangular adhesive region R3b is formed on one side in the width direction of the tape 25B.
　このように、押圧ローラ３８によって粘着テープ２５を押圧することで、粘着テープ２５の幅寸法に応じて、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接着領域の大きさを容易に増減させることが可能であり、適正な粘着力に容易に調節することができる。 Thus, by pressing the adhesive tape 25 with the pressing roller 38, it is possible to easily increase or decrease the size of the adhesive region between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b according to the width dimension of the adhesive tape 25. Yes, it can be easily adjusted to the proper adhesive strength.
　したがって、粘着テープ２５の接着領域の大きさを調整することで、めくり対象３ｂである媒体の種類、例えば、材質や単位面積当たりの重さ、表面粗さ等に応じて、めくり対象３ｂに適正な粘着力を設定することができる。例えば、損傷しやすく、かつ重い媒体がめくり対象３ｂである場合、粘着力を小さくすると共に接着領域を増やすことで、めくり対象３ｂを損傷させることなく適正に持ち上げることができる。 Therefore, by adjusting the size of the adhesive region of the adhesive tape 25, it is appropriate for the turning target 3b according to the type of medium that is the turning target 3b, for example, the material, the weight per unit area, the surface roughness, etc. Can set a strong adhesive force. For example, when the easily damaged and heavy medium is the turning target 3b, the turning target 3b can be appropriately lifted without damaging it by reducing the adhesive force and increasing the adhesion area.
　図１７Ａ及び図１７Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１が有する粘着テープ２５の粘着力について説明するための模式図である。図１７Ａに示すように、粘着テープ２５は、基材２５ａと、基材２５ａに設けられた粘着剤２５ｂとを有する。粘着テープ２５は、基材２５ａに対する粘着剤２５ｂの密度を高めることで、粘着力が大きくなる。つまり、図１７Ｂに示すように、粘着テープ２５は、基材２５ａに対する粘着剤２５ｂの密度を低くすることで、粘着力が小さくなる。 FIGS. 17A and 17B are schematic diagrams for explaining the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape 25 included in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown to FIG. 17A, the adhesive tape 25 has the base material 25a and the adhesive 25b provided in the base material 25a. The adhesive tape 25 increases the adhesive force by increasing the density of the adhesive 25b with respect to the base material 25a. That is, as shown in FIG. 17B, the adhesive tape 25 has a low adhesive strength by reducing the density of the adhesive 25b relative to the base material 25a.
　このように粘着テープ２５を用いることで、基材２５ａに分布させる粘着剤２５ｂの密度や、粘着剤２５ｂの種類に応じて、適正な粘着力に容易に調節することが可能である。したがって、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂの材質に適した粘着力を容易に設定することができる。 By using the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 25 in this way, it is possible to easily adjust to an appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive force according to the density of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 25b distributed on the substrate 25a and the type of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 25b. Therefore, the adhesive force suitable for the material of the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 can be easily set.
　例えば、古紙等の強度が低い媒体がめくり対象３ｂである場合には、媒体の損傷を防ぐために、粘着力が小さい粘着剤２５ｂを用いることが望ましい。曲げ剛性、いわゆるコシが高い媒体や、単位面積当たりの重さが大きい媒体、表面粗さが高い媒体等がめくり対象３ｂである場合には、粘着面積を増やし、粘着力が大きい粘着剤２５ｂを用いることが望ましい。 For example, when a medium with low strength such as waste paper is the turning target 3b, it is desirable to use an adhesive 25b having a low adhesive strength in order to prevent damage to the medium. When a medium having high bending rigidity, so-called stiffness, a medium having a large weight per unit area, a medium having a high surface roughness, or the like is the turning object 3b, the adhesive area 25b is increased and the adhesive 25b having a large adhesive force is provided. It is desirable to use it.
　また、ピックアップ部１１は、めくり対象３ｂである媒体の種類に応じて、持ち上げ動作時に巻取リール２７に巻き取る粘着テープ２５の巻き取り量を変化させることで、粘着テープ２５の接着性を適正に保ち、めくり対象３ｂを適正に接着させることができる。 In addition, the pickup unit 11 changes the winding amount of the adhesive tape 25 wound around the take-up reel 27 during the lifting operation according to the type of the medium that is the turning target 3b, so that the adhesive property of the adhesive tape 25 is appropriate. And the turning object 3b can be properly bonded.
　なお、本発明における粘着材は、粘着テープ２５に限定されるものではなく、所定の張力を付与できる粘着材であればよく、粘着剤を含む線材や帯材等の他の粘着材が用いられてもよい。 In addition, the adhesive material in this invention is not limited to the adhesive tape 25, What is necessary is just an adhesive material which can provide predetermined | prescribed tension, and other adhesive materials, such as a wire and a strip containing an adhesive, are used. May be.
　図１８Ａは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、ラチェット機構を介して昇降機構２４が巻取リール２７を駆動させる状態を説明するための模式的な側面図である。図１８Ｂは、図１８Ａにおけるラチェット機構のロック状態を示す模式図である。図１８Ｃは、図１８Ａにおけるラチェット機構のフリー状態を示す模式図である。 FIG. 18A is a schematic side view for explaining a state in which the lifting mechanism 24 drives the take-up reel 27 via the ratchet mechanism in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. 18B is a schematic diagram showing a locked state of the ratchet mechanism in FIG. 18A. 18C is a schematic diagram showing a free state of the ratchet mechanism in FIG. 18A.
　図１８Ａに示すように、ピックアップ部１１の昇降機構２４は、巻取リール２７の巻取機構３３を駆動させるギア４１ａを有しており、ピックアップ２１を上昇させるときのみ、巻取機構３３を連動させるように構成されている。このため、昇降機構２４は、巻取機構３３を駆動させるギア４１ａ（以下、ラチェットギア４１ａと称する。）の回転方向を一方向に規制するラチェット機構４１を有する。ラチェット機構４１は、ラチェットギア４１ａに従動する歯止め部材４１ｂを有する。歯止め部材４１ｂとしては、例えば板バネが用いられており、先端がラチェットギア４１ａの歯に接し、基端が下アーム２３に固定されている。 As shown in FIG. 18A, the lifting mechanism 24 of the pickup unit 11 has a gear 41 a that drives the winding mechanism 33 of the winding reel 27, and the winding mechanism 33 is interlocked only when the pickup 21 is lifted. It is configured to let you. For this reason, the elevating mechanism 24 has a ratchet mechanism 41 that regulates the rotation direction of a gear 41a (hereinafter referred to as a ratchet gear 41a) that drives the winding mechanism 33 in one direction. The ratchet mechanism 41 has a pawl member 41b that follows the ratchet gear 41a. As the pawl member 41 b, for example, a leaf spring is used, the tip is in contact with the teeth of the ratchet gear 41 a, and the base end is fixed to the lower arm 23.
　図１８Ｂに示すように、昇降機構２４は、ピックアップ２１を下降させるとき、ラチェットギア４１ａと歯止め部材４１ｂとが噛み合い、ラチェットギア４１ａの回転が規制されたロック状態となり、巻取機構３３が駆動されない。一方、図１８Ｃに示すように、昇降機構２４は、ピックアップ２１を上昇させるとき、ラチェットギア４１ａと歯止め部材４１ｂとが噛み合うことなく、ラチェットギア４１ａが回転可能なフリー状態となり、巻取機構３３が駆動される。 As shown in FIG. 18B, when the lifting mechanism 24 lowers the pickup 21, the ratchet gear 41a and the pawl member 41b mesh with each other, and the rotation of the ratchet gear 41a is locked and the winding mechanism 33 is not driven. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18C, when the lifting mechanism 24 raises the pickup 21, the ratchet gear 41a and the pawl member 41b do not mesh with each other, and the ratchet gear 41a is in a free state in which the winding mechanism 33 can rotate. Driven.
　図１８Ａに示すように、昇降機構２４では、駆動モータ２４ａによって、駆動ベルト２４ｃが掛け渡された一組のプーリ２４ｂが回転される。昇降機構２４では、ピックアップ２１を上昇させるときのみ、プーリ２４ｂによってラチェットギア４１ａが回転されることで、巻取機構３３を駆動させるギアが回転されて、巻取リール２７に粘着テープ２５が巻き取られる。粘着テープ２５の巻き取り量は、例えば１ｍｍ程度に設定されており、巻き取り動作が、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接着状態に影響を及ぼすことはない。 As shown in FIG. 18A, in the elevating mechanism 24, a set of pulleys 24b around which a drive belt 24c is stretched are rotated by a drive motor 24a. In the elevating mechanism 24, only when the pickup 21 is raised, the ratchet gear 41a is rotated by the pulley 24b, whereby the gear for driving the take-up mechanism 33 is rotated, and the adhesive tape 25 is taken up on the take-up reel 27. It is done. The winding amount of the adhesive tape 25 is set to about 1 mm, for example, and the winding operation does not affect the bonding state between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b.
　このように、昇降機構２４がピックアップ２１を昇降させる動作に連動して、昇降機構２４の駆動モータ２４ａを用いて巻取機構３３を駆動させることで、巻取機構３３を駆動するための専用の駆動源を削減することが可能になる。その結果、ピックアップ部１１及び綴じ媒体めくり装置６全体の小型化、軽量化を図ることができる。なお、ピックアップ２１の上昇時のみ巻取機構３３を動作可能にするために、ラチェット機構４１の代わりに、ワンウエイクラッチが用いられてもよい。 As described above, the lifting mechanism 24 is driven by the drive motor 24 a of the lifting mechanism 24 in conjunction with the lifting and lowering operation of the pickup 21 to drive the winding mechanism 33. The drive source can be reduced. As a result, the pickup unit 11 and the binding medium turning device 6 as a whole can be reduced in size and weight. Note that a one-way clutch may be used instead of the ratchet mechanism 41 in order to enable the winding mechanism 33 to operate only when the pickup 21 is raised.

The cartridge mounting portion 44 includes each rotation shaft that supports the supply reel 26 and the take-up reel 27, and a take-up mechanism 33 that drives the rotation shaft of the take-up reel 27. Further, the cartridge mounting portion 44 is formed with an engaging convex portion 44a and an engaging groove 44b with which the tape cartridge 43 is engaged.
　図２０Ａ及び図２０Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、供給リール２６及び巻取リール２７を有するテープカートリッジ４３を示す模式図である。図２０Ａに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを開始した状態を示し、図２０Ｂに、巻取リール２７が、供給リール２６から供給された粘着テープ２５の巻き取りを終了した状態を示す。 20A and 20B are schematic views showing a tape cartridge 43 having a supply reel 26 and a take-up reel 27 for the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. FIG. 20A shows a state where the take-up reel 27 has started winding the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26, and FIG. 20B shows the adhesive tape 25 supplied from the supply reel 26 to the take-up reel 27. The state where the winding of is finished is shown.
　図２０Ａ及び図２０Ｂに示すように、テープカートリッジ４３は、供給部材としての供給リール２６と、巻取部材としての巻取リール２７と、押圧ローラ２８と、を有する。テープカートリッジ４３には、図１９Ｂに示すように、カートリッジ装着部４４に係合するフック片４３ａが形成されている。フック片４３ａは、カートリッジ装着部４４の係合凸部４４ａに係合する係合溝４３ｂを有する。また、テープカートリッジ４３には、カートリッジ装着部４４の係合溝４４ｂに係合する係合爪４３ｃが形成されている。なお、テープカートリッジ４３は、押圧ローラ２８を有して構成されたが、押圧ローラ２８がカートリッジ装着部４４側に設けられ、押圧ローラ２８を省いて構成されてもよい。 20A and 20B, the tape cartridge 43 includes a supply reel 26 as a supply member, a take-up reel 27 as a take-up member, and a pressing roller 28. As shown in FIG. 19B, the tape cartridge 43 is formed with a hook piece 43 a that engages with the cartridge mounting portion 44. The hook piece 43 a has an engaging groove 43 b that engages with the engaging convex portion 44 a of the cartridge mounting portion 44. The tape cartridge 43 is formed with an engaging claw 43 c that engages with the engaging groove 44 b of the cartridge mounting portion 44. Although the tape cartridge 43 is configured to include the pressing roller 28, the pressing roller 28 may be provided on the cartridge mounting portion 44 side, and the pressing roller 28 may be omitted.
　めくり対象３ｂとなる媒体は、例えば、厚みや曲げ剛性、単位面積当たりの重量、表面粗さ等によって接着条件が異なるが、粘着テープ２５を有するテープカートリッジ４３を用いることで、複数種類の媒体に適した接着状態を容易に確保することができる。例えば、粘着力や接着領域の大きさが異なる複数種類のテープカートリッジ４３から選択されたテープカートリッジ４３をカートリッジ装着部４４に装着することで、めくり対象３ｂとなる媒体に応じて、粘着力等を容易に変更することができる。 The medium to be turned 3b has different bonding conditions depending on, for example, thickness, bending rigidity, weight per unit area, surface roughness, and the like. By using the tape cartridge 43 having the adhesive tape 25, a plurality of types of media can be used. A suitable adhesion state can be easily ensured. For example, by attaching a tape cartridge 43 selected from a plurality of types of tape cartridges 43 having different adhesive strength and adhesion area size to the cartridge mounting portion 44, the adhesive strength and the like can be increased according to the medium to be turned 3b. It can be easily changed.
　また、ピックアップ部１１は、めくり対象３ｂである媒体の種類に応じて、巻取リール２７に巻き取る粘着テープ２５の巻き取り量を変化させることで、粘着テープ２５の使用量を調節することができる。例えば、粘着テープ２５の粘着力が十分に得られる媒体がめくり対象３ｂである場合には、粘着テープ２５の巻き取り量を減らすことで、粘着テープ２５の消費を抑えることが可能になり、粘着テープ２５の接着性を適正に保つと共に、テープカートリッジ４３の使用可能な寿命を延ばすことができる。 Further, the pickup unit 11 can adjust the usage amount of the adhesive tape 25 by changing the winding amount of the adhesive tape 25 wound around the take-up reel 27 according to the type of the medium that is the turning target 3b. it can. For example, in the case where the medium for which the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape 25 is sufficiently obtained is the turning target 3b, the consumption of the adhesive tape 25 can be suppressed by reducing the winding amount of the adhesive tape 25. The adhesiveness of the tape 25 can be maintained properly, and the usable life of the tape cartridge 43 can be extended.
　（めくり部の構成）
　図２１及び図２２は、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６が有するめくり部１２を示す図であり、図２１が斜視図、図２２が平面図である。図２１及び図２２に示すように、めくり部１２は、ピックアップ部１１によって持ち上げられた綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂを移動させる移動部材としてのレバー４６と、レバー４６を支持するレバー支持部材４７と、レバー支持部材４７をＡ方向に回動させる回動機構４８と、を有する。また、めくり部１２は、図１～図３に示すように、載置台８上に載置された綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａのうち、ピックアップ部１１によって持ち上げられる一方側の媒体（めくり対象３ｂ）に隣接して配置されている。 (Structure of turning part)
21 and 22 are views showing the turning portion 12 included in the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment, FIG. 21 is a perspective view, and FIG. 22 is a plan view. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the turning unit 12 includes a lever 46 as a moving member that moves the turning target 3 b of the binding medium 3 lifted by the pickup unit 11, and a lever support member 47 that supports the lever 46. And a rotation mechanism 48 for rotating the lever support member 47 in the A direction. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the turning portion 12 is a medium (a turning target 3b) that is lifted by the pickup portion 11 of the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3 placed on the placing table 8. ).
　レバー４６は、ロッド状に形成されており、基端側がレバー支持部材４７に支持されている。回動機構４８は、駆動モータ４８ａと、駆動モータ４８ａによって回転されるギア群４８ｂと、を有する。レバー４６は、回動機構４８によって、レバー支持部材４７を介して例えば、水平方向に沿って回動される。レバー４６の基端の回転中心は、載置台８上に載置される綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃに隣接して配置されている。 The lever 46 is formed in a rod shape, and the base end side is supported by the lever support member 47. The rotation mechanism 48 includes a drive motor 48a and a gear group 48b rotated by the drive motor 48a. The lever 46 is rotated by the rotation mechanism 48 along the horizontal direction via the lever support member 47, for example. The rotation center of the base end of the lever 46 is disposed adjacent to the binding portion 3 c of the binding medium 3 placed on the placement table 8.
　なお、移動部材としては、ロッド状のレバーに限定されるものではない。移動部材は、めくり対象３ｂを移動させることが可能な形態であれば、持ち上げためくり対象３ｂと綴じ媒体３との間に挿入可能なナイフ状等の他の形状に形成されてもよく、めくり対象３ｂを挟んで保持するように構成されてもよい。 Note that the moving member is not limited to a rod-shaped lever. The moving member may be formed in another shape such as a knife that can be inserted between the lifting target 3b and the binding medium 3 as long as the turning target 3b can be moved. It may be configured to hold the object 3b.
　また、めくり部１２は、レバー４６を水平方向に沿って移動させると共に、めくり対象３ｂを綴じ部３ｃに対してめくった後、めくられためくり対象３ｂを綴じ媒体３上に重ねるように下降させてもよい。これにより、めくり対象３ｂが、曲げ剛性が高い、いわゆるコシが強い媒体である場合でも、綴じ部３ｃに対してめくられためくり対象３ｂを綴じ媒体３上に適正に重ねることができる。 Further, the turning unit 12 moves the lever 46 along the horizontal direction and lowers the turning target 3b so as to overlap the binding medium 3 after turning the turning target 3b with respect to the binding unit 3c. May be. Thereby, even when the turning object 3b is a medium having high bending rigidity, that is, a so-called firmness, the turning object 3b can be appropriately overlapped on the binding medium 3 because it is turned with respect to the binding part 3c.
　（押え部の構成）
　図２３及び図２４は、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６が有する押え部１３を示す図であり、図２３が斜視図、図２４が側面図である。図２３及び図２４に示すように、押え部１３は、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃを押える押えローラ５１と、押えローラ５１を支持する上アーム５２と、上アーム５２を回動可能に支持する下アーム５３と、下アーム５３に対して上アーム５２をＢ方向に回動させる回動機構５４と、を有する。また、一組の押え部１３は、図１～図３に示すように、載置台８上に載置される綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの上端及び下端に隣接する位置にそれぞれ配置されている。 (Configuration of presser part)
23 and 24 are views showing the presser 13 included in the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment, FIG. 23 is a perspective view, and FIG. 24 is a side view. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the presser unit 13 supports the presser roller 51 that presses the binding unit 3c of the binding medium 3, the upper arm 52 that supports the presser roller 51, and the upper arm 52 so as to be rotatable. A lower arm 53 and a rotation mechanism 54 that rotates the upper arm 52 in the B direction with respect to the lower arm 53 are provided. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pair of presser portions 13 are respectively disposed at positions adjacent to the upper end and the lower end of the binding portion 3 c of the binding medium 3 placed on the placement table 8. .
　回動機構５４は、駆動モータ５４ａと、下アーム５３に対して上アーム５２を回動させるギア群５４ｂと、を有する。押え部１３は、下アーム５３に対して上アーム５２を回動させることで、押えローラ５１によって綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａにおける綴じ部３ｃ近傍を押える。これにより、載置台８上の綴じ媒体３は、見開き面３ａを開いた状態で保持される。 The rotation mechanism 54 includes a drive motor 54 a and a gear group 54 b that rotates the upper arm 52 with respect to the lower arm 53. The presser 13 rotates the upper arm 52 relative to the lower arm 53, thereby pressing the vicinity of the binding portion 3 c on the spread surface 3 a of the binding medium 3 with the presser roller 51. Thereby, the binding medium 3 on the mounting table 8 is held in a state where the spread surface 3a is opened.
　図２５Ａ、図２５Ｂ及び図２５Ｃは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部の移動可能範囲を説明するための図であり、図２５Ａが平面図、図２５Ｂが正面図、図２５Ｃが側面図である。なお、本実施例において、Ｖ字状の載置台８に載置される綴じ媒体３は、見開き面３ａが所定の角度でＶ字状に開かれるが、ここでは説明の便宜上、綴じ媒体３を水平な載置面上に載置した場合について説明する。また、図２６以降においても、綴じ媒体３を水平な載置面上に載置した場合について説明する。 FIG. 25A, FIG. 25B, and FIG. 25C are the figures for demonstrating the movable range of the contact part of the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b about the pick-up part 11 in an Example, FIG. 25A is a top view, FIG. Is a front view, and FIG. 25C is a side view. In the present embodiment, the binding medium 3 placed on the V-shaped mounting table 8 has a spread surface 3a opened in a V-shape at a predetermined angle. The case where it mounts on a horizontal mounting surface is demonstrated. Further, also in FIG. 26 and after, the case where the binding medium 3 is placed on a horizontal placement surface will be described.
　粘着テープ２５は、めくり対象３ｂに対して、例えば、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａの一方の媒体（めくり対象３ｂ）の表面における綴じ部３ｃ側とは反対側の位置で接触する。図２５Ａに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの位置は、例えば、めくり対象３ｂの外周縁領域における角部や、外周縁領域の、綴じ部３ｃの延在方向に対する中央部に設定されている。 The adhesive tape 25 contacts the turning target 3b at a position opposite to the binding portion 3c side on the surface of one medium (the turning target 3b) of the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3, for example. As shown in FIG. 25A, the position of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is, for example, a corner portion in the outer peripheral region of the turning target 3b or the extending direction of the binding portion 3c in the outer peripheral region. It is set at the center.
　図２５Ｂは、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの延在方向から見た正面図である。図２５Ｂに示すように、水平な載置面上に綴じ媒体３を載置した場合に、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａの一方側の媒体であるめくり対象３ｂは、めくられたときに、綴じ部３ｃを中心として半円状の円弧Ｑの範囲内で回転可能である。したがって、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃは、めくり対象３ｂを持ち上げるときに接触状態を維持するために、その軌跡が半円状の円弧Ｑの内周側の範囲内に位置する必要がある。言い換えると、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃは、綴じ部３ｃを中心として回転可能な円弧Ｑの内周側に位置することで、接触部Ｃにおける接触状態を保ち、めくり対象３ｂを持ち上げ続けることができる。また、図２５Ｃに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃは、接触部Ｃと、めくり対象３ｂの表面に沿った綴じ部３ｃとの間の最短距離を超えない範囲、つまり、めくり対象３ｂに張力が生じない範囲で、斜線で示す範囲内を移動することで、めくり対象３ｂを持ち上げたときの接触状態が維持される。 FIG. 25B is a front view of the binding medium 3 as viewed from the extending direction of the binding portion 3c. As shown in FIG. 25B, when the binding medium 3 is placed on a horizontal placement surface, the turning target 3b that is a medium on one side of the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3 is bound when turned. It can rotate within a semicircular arc Q around the part 3c. Therefore, the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is located in the range on the inner peripheral side of the semicircular arc Q in order to maintain the contact state when the turning target 3b is lifted. There is a need. In other words, the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is located on the inner peripheral side of the arc Q that can rotate around the binding portion 3c, so that the contact state at the contact portion C is maintained, and the turning target 3b. Can keep lifting. Further, as shown in FIG. 25C, the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is within a range not exceeding the shortest distance between the contact portion C and the binding portion 3c along the surface of the turning target 3b. That is, the contact state when the turning target 3b is lifted is maintained by moving within the range indicated by the oblique lines within a range where no tension is generated in the turning target 3b.
　なお、この斜線の範囲は、接触部Ｃと綴じ部３ｃの延在方向における一端とを結ぶ第１線分がこの一端を中心として描く第１円弧と、接触部Ｃと綴じ部３ｃの延在方向における他端とを結ぶ第２線分がこの他端を中心として描く第２円弧と、綴じ部３ｃの延在方向に沿った第３線分とで囲まれた範囲である。詳細には、斜線の範囲が、綴じ部３ｃを中心として回転したときに生じる空間内で、接触部Ｃが移動することで、接触部Ｃによって移動されるめくり対象３ｂに常にたわみが生じている状態でめくり対象３ｂが移動される。これにより、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃによって、めくり対象３ｂが引っ張られることなく、接触部Ｃの接触状態が適正に保たれる。 In addition, the range of this diagonal line is the 1st circular arc which the 1st line segment which connects the contact part C and the end in the extending direction of the binding part 3c draws on this end, and the extension of the contact part C and the binding part 3c A second line segment connecting the other end in the direction is a range surrounded by a second arc drawn centering on the other end and a third line segment along the extending direction of the binding portion 3c. Specifically, when the contact portion C moves in a space generated when the hatched range rotates around the binding portion 3c, the turning target 3b moved by the contact portion C always bends. The turning object 3b is moved in the state. Thereby, the contact state of the contact part C is appropriately maintained without the pulling target 3b being pulled by the contact part C between the adhesive tape 25 and the target 3b.
　つまり、ピックアップ部１１は、図２５Ｂに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡の少なくとも一部が、接触部Ｃが綴じ部３ｃを中心として回転可能な円弧Ｑの内周側に含まれる。接触部Ｃの軌跡は、このように粘着テープ２５を移動させることで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂを持ち上げた状態を保つことができる。また、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、円弧Ｑの内周側から円弧Ｑの外周側まで延びており、円弧Ｑの外周側へ移動するとき、つまり円弧Ｑを通過するときに、粘着テープ２５をめくり対象３ｂから剥離させる。 In other words, as shown in FIG. 25B, the pickup unit 11 has at least a part of the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b in an arc Q that allows the contact portion C to rotate around the binding portion 3c. Included on the inner circumference side. The locus of the contact portion C can maintain the state in which the turning target 3b is lifted by the contact portion C by moving the adhesive tape 25 in this way. Further, the locus of the contact portion C extends from the inner circumference side of the arc Q to the outer circumference side of the arc Q, and the adhesive tape 25 is turned when moving to the outer circumference side of the arc Q, that is, when passing through the arc Q. It peels from the object 3b.
　なお、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、円弧Ｑの外周側まで延びる動きに限定されるものではなく、円弧Ｑの内周側にて所定の高さまで持ち上げためくり対象３ｂを、めくり部１２のレバー４６によって接触部Ｃからめくり対象３ｂを引き剥がすように動作させてもよい。この場合においても、粘着テープ２５に所定の張力が付与されているので、めくり対象３ｂに対する剥離性が高められる。 The trajectory of the contact portion C is not limited to the movement extending to the outer peripheral side of the arc Q, and the lever 46 of the turning portion 12 is used to lift the turning target 3b to the predetermined height on the inner peripheral side of the arc Q. May be operated so as to peel off the turning object 3b from the contact portion C. Even in this case, since the predetermined tension is applied to the adhesive tape 25, the peelability with respect to the turning target 3b is enhanced.
　図２６Ａは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが移動する軌跡の一例を示す正面図である。図２６Ａに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡は、水平面に対して、綴じ部３ｃ側に向かって傾斜した方向に沿って直線状に移動することで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられる。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３に対して高さＨａに達したときに、綴じ部３ｃを中心とする円弧Ｑから外周側へ離れることで、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離する。したがって、この軌跡の場合、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって高さＨａまで持ち上げられる。 FIG. 26A is a front view illustrating an example of a trajectory in which the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown to FIG. 26A, the locus | trajectory of the contact part C of the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b contacts by moving linearly along the direction inclined toward the binding part 3c side with respect to the horizontal plane. The turning object 3b is lifted by the part C. When the locus of the contact portion C reaches the height Ha with respect to the binding medium 3, the contact portion C is separated from the turning target 3 b by moving away from the arc Q centered on the binding portion 3 c toward the outer peripheral side. To do. Therefore, in the case of this locus, the turning target 3b is lifted up to the height Ha by the adhesive tape 25.
　図２６Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが移動する軌跡の他の例を示す正面図である。図２６Ｂに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡は、水平面に対して、綴じ部３ｃ側に向かって傾斜した方向に沿って移動すると共に綴じ部３ｃとは反対側に向かって傾斜した方向に移動する。つまり、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、円弧状に移動することで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられる。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３に対して高さＨｂに達したときに、綴じ部３ｃを中心とする円弧Ｑから外周側へ離れることで、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離する。したがって、この軌跡の場合、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって高さＨｂまで持ち上げられる。 FIG. 26B is a front view illustrating another example of the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 26B, the trajectory of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves along the direction inclined toward the binding portion 3c with respect to the horizontal plane and is opposite to the binding portion 3c. Move in a direction inclined toward the side. That is, the trajectory of the contact portion C moves in a circular arc shape, whereby the turning target 3b is lifted by the contact portion C. When the locus of the contact portion C reaches the height Hb with respect to the binding medium 3, the contact portion C is separated from the turning target 3 b by moving away from the arc Q centered on the binding portion 3 c toward the outer peripheral side. To do. Therefore, in the case of this locus, the turning target 3b is lifted to the height Hb by the adhesive tape 25.
　図２６Ｃは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが移動する軌跡の更に他の例を示す正面図である。図２６Ｃに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡は、水平面に対して、綴じ部３ｃ側に向かって傾斜した方向に沿って円弧状に移動する。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａの一方の媒体側から、綴じ部３ｃの上方を通過し、見開き面３ａの他方の媒体側の上方を通過するように移動する。つまり、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、めくり対象３ｂがめくられるときの移動方向に沿って移動することで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられる。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３に対して高さＨｃに達したときに、綴じ部３ｃを中心とする円弧Ｑから外周側へ離れることで、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離する。したがって、この軌跡の場合、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって高さＨｃまで持ち上げられる。 FIG. 26C is a front view showing still another example of a trajectory in which the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves with respect to the pickup portion 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 26C, the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves in an arc shape along a direction inclined toward the binding portion 3c with respect to the horizontal plane. Then, the locus of the contact portion C moves from one medium side of the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3 so as to pass above the binding portion 3c and to pass above the other medium side of the spread surface 3a. That is, the trajectory of the contact portion C moves along the moving direction when the turning target 3b is turned, so that the turning target 3b is lifted by the contact portion C. Then, when the locus of the contact portion C reaches the height Hc with respect to the binding medium 3, the contact portion C is separated from the turning target 3b by moving away from the arc Q centered on the binding portion 3c toward the outer peripheral side. To do. Therefore, in the case of this locus, the turning target 3b is lifted to the height Hc by the adhesive tape 25.
　また、図２６Ａ～２６Ｃに示すいずれの接触部Ｃの軌跡においても、ピックアップ部１１は、軌跡が上述の円弧Ｑの内周に沿うように、粘着テープ２５を円弧状に移動させることが好ましい。これにより、持ち上げためくり対象３ｂを綴じ部３ｃに対して撓ませることなく自然に移動させることが可能になるので、めくり対象３ｂの曲げ剛性の影響を受けることなく、めくり対象３ｂを円滑に移動させることができる。 Also, in any locus of the contact portion C shown in FIGS. 26A to 26C, the pickup unit 11 preferably moves the adhesive tape 25 in an arc shape so that the locus is along the inner circumference of the arc Q described above. As a result, since the lifting target 3b can be moved naturally without being bent with respect to the binding portion 3c, the turning target 3b can be moved smoothly without being affected by the bending rigidity of the turning target 3b. Can be made.
　さらに、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの延在方向に直交する平面上に沿って移動することが好ましい。これにより、持ち上げためくり対象３ｂをねじることなく自然に移動させることが可能になるので、めくり対象３ｂの曲げ剛性の影響を受けることなく、めくり対象３ｂを円滑に移動させることができる。 Furthermore, it is preferable that the locus of the contact portion C moves along a plane orthogonal to the extending direction of the binding portion 3c of the binding medium 3. As a result, the lifting target 3b can be moved naturally without being twisted, so that the turning target 3b can be smoothly moved without being affected by the bending rigidity of the turning target 3b.
　また、粘着テープ２５は、めくり対象３ｂと粘着テープ２５との接触部Ｃが円弧Ｑの外周側に移動したときに、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離可能な所定の粘着力に設定されている。 The adhesive tape 25 is set to a predetermined adhesive force that allows the contact portion C to be peeled off from the turning target 3b when the contact portion C between the turning target 3b and the adhesive tape 25 moves to the outer circumference side of the arc Q. Yes.
　図２７Ａは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが移動する軌跡の一例を示す側面図である。綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの延在方向に平行な側面で見たとき、図２７Ａに示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの延在方向における一方側へ向かって円弧状に移動することで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられる。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、接触部Ｃとめくり対象３ｂとが接触状態を保ちながら移動可能な範囲（斜線の範囲）に対して、水平方向における外側へ離れることで、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離される。したがって、この軌跡の場合、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって高さＨｄまで持ち上げられる。 FIG. 27A is a side view showing an example of a trajectory in which the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves with respect to the pickup portion 11 in the embodiment. When viewed from the side surface parallel to the extending direction of the binding portion 3c of the binding medium 3, as shown in FIG. 27A, the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is the binding portion 3c of the binding medium 3. The turning target 3b is lifted by the contact portion C by moving in a circular arc shape toward one side in the extending direction. The trajectory of the contact portion C turns the contact portion C by moving outward in the horizontal direction with respect to a range in which the contact portion C and the turning target 3b can move while maintaining a contact state (a hatched range). It peels from the object 3b. Therefore, in the case of this locus, the turning target 3b is lifted to the height Hd by the adhesive tape 25.
　図２７Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが移動する軌跡の他の例を示す側面図である。図２７Ｂに示すように、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの延在方向に平行な側面で見たとき、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡は、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａに直交する高さ方向に向かって直線状に移動することで、接触部Ｃによってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられる。そして、接触部Ｃの軌跡は、接触部Ｃとめくり対象３ｂとが接触状態を保ちながら移動可能な範囲（斜線の範囲）に対して、鉛直方向における外側へ離れることで、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから剥離される。したがって、この軌跡の場合、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって高さＨｅまで持ち上げられる。 FIG. 27B is a side view showing another example of a trajectory in which the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves with respect to the pickup portion 11 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 27B, when viewed from the side surface parallel to the extending direction of the binding portion 3 c of the binding medium 3, the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3 b is the spread surface 3 a of the binding medium 3. The turning target 3b is lifted by the contact portion C by moving linearly toward the height direction orthogonal to the direction. The trajectory of the contact portion C turns the contact portion C by moving away from the outside in the vertical direction with respect to the range in which the contact portion C and the turning target 3b can move while maintaining a contact state (the hatched range). It peels from the object 3b. Therefore, in the case of this locus, the turning target 3b is lifted to the height He by the adhesive tape 25.
　図２８Ａ及び図２８Ｂは、実施例におけるピックアップ部１１について、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡が、めくり対象３ｂの高さが変化したときも一定に保たれることを説明するための正面図である。 FIG. 28A and FIG. 28B explain that the locus of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is kept constant when the height of the turning target 3b is changed in the pickup unit 11 in the embodiment. It is a front view for doing.
　図２８Ａ及び図２８Ｂに示すように、綴じ媒体３の厚み方向に対するめくり対象３ｂの位置、すなわち、粘着テープ２５が接触するめくり対象３ｂの高さは、めくり部１２がめくり対象３ｂをめくる動作に伴って徐々に変化し、異なる高さＨ１、Ｈ２になる。そして、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの高さＨ１、Ｈ２が異なることで、接触部Ｃによって持ち上げられためくり対象３ｂが綴じ部３ｃを中心として回転可能な円弧Ｑの位置も異なることになる。その結果、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡や接触状態が変化し、粘着テープ２５によって持ち上げられためくり対象３ｂの挙動の変動を招く可能性がある。 As shown in FIGS. 28A and 28B, the position of the turning target 3b with respect to the thickness direction of the binding medium 3, that is, the height of the turning target 3b with which the adhesive tape 25 contacts is determined by the turning part 12 turning the turning target 3b. Along with this, it gradually changes and becomes different heights H1 and H2. Further, since the heights H1 and H2 of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b are different from each other, the position of the arc Q where the turning target 3b can be rotated around the binding portion 3c is lifted by the contact portion C. Will be different. As a result, the trajectory and contact state of the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b change, and the lifted by the adhesive tape 25 may cause a change in the behavior of the turning target 3b.
　そこで、ピックアップ部１１は、めくり対象３ｂの高さが変化した場合であっても、綴じ部３ｃを中心とした円弧Ｑに対する軌跡の相対位置を一定に保つように、制御部１５によって制御されている。これにより、めくり対象３ｂの高さが変化した場合においても、接触部Ｃの軌跡が、円弧Ｑに対して同一の軌跡を描くので、めくり対象３ｂの挙動が安定し、めくり対象３ｂの持ち上げ動作の信頼性が高められる。 Therefore, the pickup unit 11 is controlled by the control unit 15 so as to keep the relative position of the trajectory with respect to the arc Q around the binding portion 3c constant even when the height of the turning target 3b changes. Yes. Thereby, even when the height of the turning target 3b changes, the trajectory of the contact portion C draws the same trajectory with respect to the arc Q. Therefore, the behavior of the turning target 3b is stabilized, and the lifting operation of the turning target 3b is performed. Reliability is improved.
　（綴じ媒体めくり装置の動作）
　綴じ媒体めくり装置６について、ピックアップ部１１及びめくり部１２によって、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂをめくる動作について説明する。図２９は、実施例におけるめくり部１２について、レバー４６の可動範囲を示す正面図である。図３０Ａ～３０Ｈは、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６が、綴じ媒体３をめくる動作を説明するための正面図である。 (Operation of the binding medium turning device)
Regarding the binding medium turning device 6, an operation of turning the turning target 3 b of the binding medium 3 by the pickup unit 11 and the turning unit 12 will be described. FIG. 29 is a front view showing a movable range of the lever 46 with respect to the turning portion 12 in the embodiment. 30A to 30H are front views for explaining an operation in which the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment turns the binding medium 3.
　図２９に示すように、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃが直線状の軌跡で移動すると共に、めくり部１２のレバー４６が水平方向に沿って移動する場合について説明する。レバー４６は、粘着テープ２５によって持ち上げられるめくり対象３ｂの移動を妨げない位置、すなわち、水平方向における見開き面３ａの外側から移動を開始するように配置されている。また、レバー４６は、綴じ媒体３に衝突することなく、粘着テープ２５によって持ち上げられためくり対象３ｂを移動させるために、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａの高さよりも高い位置Ｈ０で水平方向に移動する。したがって、レバー４６は、図２９に破線で示す可動範囲内に沿って移動する。 29, the case where the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b moves along a linear locus and the lever 46 of the turning portion 12 moves along the horizontal direction will be described. The lever 46 is arranged so as to start moving from a position that does not hinder the movement of the turning target 3b lifted by the adhesive tape 25, that is, from the outside of the spread surface 3a in the horizontal direction. Further, the lever 46 is moved in the horizontal direction at a position H0 higher than the height of the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3 in order to move the turning target 3b by being lifted by the adhesive tape 25 without colliding with the binding medium 3. To do. Therefore, the lever 46 moves along a movable range indicated by a broken line in FIG.
　図３０Ａに示すように、綴じ媒体めくり装置６は、綴じ媒体３をめくる動作を開始するとき、レバー４６が、水平方向における見開き面３ａの外側の初期位置に待機し、ピックアップ２１が円弧Ｑの上方の初期位置に待機している。まず、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を綴じ媒体３に向かって下降させ、押圧ローラ２８によって粘着テープ２５をめくり対象３ｂに接着させる。続いて、ピックアップ部１１は、図３０Ｂに示すように、ピックアップ２１を上昇させることで、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃを所定の軌跡に沿って移動させる。これにより、めくり対象３ｂは、粘着テープ２５によって綴じ媒体３から持ち上げられる。 As shown in FIG. 30A, when the binding medium turning device 6 starts the operation of turning the binding medium 3, the lever 46 waits at an initial position outside the spread surface 3a in the horizontal direction, and the pickup 21 has the arc Q. Waiting at the upper initial position. First, the pickup unit 11 lowers the pickup 21 toward the binding medium 3, and adheres the adhesive tape 25 to the turning target 3 b by the pressing roller 28. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 30B, the pickup unit 11 raises the pickup 21, thereby moving the contact portion C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b along a predetermined locus. Accordingly, the turning target 3b is lifted from the binding medium 3 by the adhesive tape 25.
　ピックアップ部１１によってめくり対象３ｂが持ち上げられた後、図３０Ｃに示すように、めくり部１２は、めくり対象３ｂと綴じ媒体３との間にレバー４６を進入させる。引き続き、図３０Ｄに示すように、ピックアップ部１１は、接触部Ｃを軌跡に沿って移動させることによってめくり対象３ｂを持ち上げると共に、めくり部１２がレバー４６を移動させることによってめくり対象３ｂを綴じ部３ｃ側へ向かって移動させる。そして、接触部Ｃが円弧Ｑの外周側へ移動するときに、張力が付与された粘着テープ２５の接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂからスムースに剥離される。また、このとき、レバー４６によってめくり対象３ｂが移動されることでめくり対象３ｂに加わる負荷も、粘着テープ２５の接触部Ｃに作用するので、めくり対象３ｂに対する接触部Ｃの剥離性が高められる。 After the turning target 3b is lifted by the pickup unit 11, the turning unit 12 causes the lever 46 to enter between the turning target 3b and the binding medium 3, as shown in FIG. 30C. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 30D, the pickup unit 11 lifts the turning target 3b by moving the contact portion C along the locus, and the turning unit 12 moves the lever 46 to bind the turning target 3b. Move toward 3c. And when the contact part C moves to the outer peripheral side of the circular arc Q, the contact part C of the adhesive tape 25 to which tension is applied is smoothly peeled from the turning target 3b. At this time, the load applied to the turning target 3b by moving the turning target 3b by the lever 46 also acts on the contact portion C of the adhesive tape 25, so that the peelability of the contact portion C with respect to the turning target 3b is enhanced. .
　ピックアップ部１１は、接触部Ｃがめくり対象３ｂから離れた後、上昇を続けて、初期位置へ復帰する。一方、図３０Ｅに示すように、めくり部１２のレバー４６は、接触部Ｃから離れためくり対象３ｂを保持する。引き続き、レバー４６は、図３０Ｆに示すように、接触部Ｃから離れためくり対象３ｂを保持しながら、綴じ媒体３の綴じ部３ｃの上方を通過する。そして、レバー４６が綴じ部３ｃの上方を通過し、図３０Ｇに示すように、見開き面３ａの反対側へ移動したとき、めくり対象３ｂが綴じ部３ｃに対してめくられる。このようにレバー４６を用いてめくり対象３ｂをめくることで、媒体の種類にかかわらずに安定してめくることができる。そして、レバー４６によってめくられためくり対象３ｂは、自重で下降し、見開き面３ａの他方側の媒体上に重なることで、めくり動作が完了する。そして、めくり部１２がレバー４６を初期位置へ移動させた後、ピックアップ部１１は、次のめくり対象３ｂの持ち上げ動作を開始する。 The pickup unit 11 continues to rise and returns to the initial position after the contact portion C is separated from the turning target 3b. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 30E, the lever 46 of the turning portion 12 holds the turning target 3b away from the contact portion C. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 30F, the lever 46 passes above the binding portion 3 c of the binding medium 3 while holding the turning target 3 b away from the contact portion C. When the lever 46 passes over the binding portion 3c and moves to the opposite side of the spread surface 3a as shown in FIG. 30G, the turning target 3b is turned with respect to the binding portion 3c. By turning the turning target 3b using the lever 46 in this way, it can be stably turned regardless of the type of medium. Then, the turning target 3b turned by the lever 46 is lowered by its own weight and overlaps the medium on the other side of the spread surface 3a, whereby the turning operation is completed. Then, after the turning unit 12 moves the lever 46 to the initial position, the pickup unit 11 starts a lifting operation of the next turning target 3b.
　なお、めくり部１２が、めくり対象３ｂと綴じ媒体３との間にレバー４６を挿入するタイミングは、ピックアップ部１１がめくり対象３ｂを持ち上げている間であれば、いずれのタイミングでもよい。例えば、めくり対象３ｂと綴じ媒体３との間にレバー４６が挿入された後、レバー４６がめくり対象３ｂを移動させるめくり動作を補助するように、接触部Ｃが綴じ部３ｃの上方を通過するように移動させることで、めくり動作の安定性を高めることができる。 The timing at which the turning unit 12 inserts the lever 46 between the turning target 3b and the binding medium 3 may be any timing as long as the pickup unit 11 is lifting the turning target 3b. For example, after the lever 46 is inserted between the turning target 3b and the binding medium 3, the contact portion C passes above the binding portion 3c so that the lever 46 assists the turning operation of moving the turning target 3b. By moving in this manner, the stability of the turning operation can be improved.
　（綴じ媒体読取装置の動作）
　以上のように構成された綴じ媒体読取装置１について、綴じ媒体３のページを読み取る動作を説明する。図３１は、実施例の綴じ媒体読取装置１が、綴じ媒体３の複数のページを連続して読み取る動作を説明するためのフローチャートである。ここで、説明の便宜上、図１に示す向きにおいて、基台９の載置台８側を手前側とし、基台９の読取り部５側を奥側と称する。 (Operation of binding medium reader)
The operation of reading a page of the binding medium 3 for the binding medium reader 1 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 31 is a flowchart for explaining an operation in which the binding medium reading device 1 according to the embodiment continuously reads a plurality of pages of the binding medium 3. Here, for convenience of explanation, in the direction shown in FIG. 1, the mounting table 8 side of the base 9 is referred to as the front side, and the reading unit 5 side of the base 9 is referred to as the back side.
　図３１に示すように、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、載置台８の奥側及び手前側に配置された一組の押え部１３によって、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａが閉じないように、見開き面３ａを押し下げる（ステップＳ１）。続いて、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、一組の押え部１３のうち、一方の押え部１３（手前側）の押えローラ５１を持ち上げることで、押えローラ５１を見開き面３ａの外側へ退避させる（ステップＳ２）。これにより、見開き面３ａに一方の押え部１３が写り込まない状態で、読取り部５は見開き面３ａを読み取ることが可能になる。綴じ媒体読取装置１は、他方の押え部１３のみによって押えられた見開き面３ａを、読取り部５によって読み取る（ステップＳ３）。 As shown in FIG. 31, the binding medium reading device 1 has a spread surface so that the spread surface 3 a of the binding medium 3 is not closed by a pair of pressing portions 13 arranged on the back side and the near side of the mounting table 8. 3a is pushed down (step S1). Subsequently, the binding medium reading device 1 lifts the pressing roller 51 of one pressing unit 13 (front side) out of the set of pressing units 13 to retract the pressing roller 51 to the outside of the spread surface 3a ( Step S2). As a result, the reading unit 5 can read the spread surface 3a in a state where the one pressing portion 13 does not appear on the spread surface 3a. The binding medium reading device 1 reads the spread surface 3a pressed only by the other pressing portion 13 by the reading portion 5 (step S3).
　続いて、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、一組の押え部１３のうち、一方の押え部１３（手前側）の押えローラ５１を押し下げると共に、他方の押え部１３（奥側）の押えローラ５１を持ち上げる（ステップＳ４）。これにより、見開き面３ａに他方の押え部１３が写り込まない状態で、読取り部５は見開き面３ａを読み取ることが可能になる。綴じ媒体読取装置１は、一方の押え部１３のみによって押えられた見開き面３ａを、読取り部５によって読み取る（ステップＳ５）。制御部１５は、画像処理部１５ｃによって、ステップＳ３、Ｓ５にて読み取られた２つの画像を、画像内の各押え部１３を除去して合成することで、各押え部１３が写り込んでいない見開き面３ａの読取画像を生成する。 Subsequently, the binding medium reading device 1 pushes down the pressing roller 51 of one pressing unit 13 (front side) and presses the pressing roller 51 of the other pressing unit 13 (back side) among the set of pressing units 13. Lift (step S4). Accordingly, the reading unit 5 can read the spread surface 3a in a state where the other pressing portion 13 is not reflected on the spread surface 3a. The binding medium reading device 1 reads the spread surface 3a pressed by only one pressing unit 13 by the reading unit 5 (step S5). The control unit 15 combines the two images read in steps S3 and S5 by the image processing unit 15c by removing each presser unit 13 in the image, so that each presser unit 13 is not reflected. A read image of the spread surface 3a is generated.
　つぎに、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を下降させ、押圧ローラ２８によって粘着テープ２５を、見開き面３ａのめくり対象３ｂに押し当てる（ステップＳ６）。続いて、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を上昇させ、粘着テープ２５に接着されためくり対象３ｂを、めくり部１２のレバー４６が移動する高さを超えるまで上昇させて停止する（ステップＳ７）。制御部１５は、巻取機構３３を駆動させる巻取開始信号であるトリガＴをピックアップ部１１へ送り、ピックアップ部１１は、巻取機構３３によって巻取リール２７を回転させる（ステップＳ８）。これにより、ピックアップ部１１は、押圧ローラ２８が押圧する部分の粘着テープ２５を送り、粘着テープ２５の粘着力が適正に保たれる。なお、ピックアップ部１１の昇降機構２４と巻取機構３３が連動する構成の場合には、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を上昇させると共に、巻取機構３３によって粘着テープ２５の巻き取り動作を開始する。 Next, the pickup unit 11 lowers the pickup 21 and presses the adhesive tape 25 against the turning target 3b of the spread surface 3a by the pressing roller 28 (step S6). Subsequently, the pickup unit 11 raises the pickup 21, raises the turning target 3b bonded to the adhesive tape 25 until the lever 46 of the turning unit 12 moves and stops (step S7). The control unit 15 sends a trigger T, which is a winding start signal for driving the winding mechanism 33, to the pickup unit 11, and the pickup unit 11 rotates the winding reel 27 by the winding mechanism 33 (step S8). Thereby, the pick-up part 11 sends the adhesive tape 25 of the part which the press roller 28 presses, and the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 25 is maintained appropriately. When the lifting mechanism 24 and the winding mechanism 33 of the pickup unit 11 are interlocked, the pickup unit 11 raises the pickup 21 and starts the winding operation of the adhesive tape 25 by the winding mechanism 33. .
　つぎに、めくり部１２は、ピックアップ部１１が持ち上げためくり対象３ｂの下方にレバー４６を挿入することで、レバー４６がめくり動作を開始する（ステップＳ９）。続いて、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を再度上昇させ、粘着テープ２５に接着されためくり対象３ｂ（ページ）の移動可能な範囲外へピックアップ２１を移動させることで、粘着テープ２５からめくり対象３ｂを剥離させる（ステップＳ１０）。また、めくり部１２は、綴じ部３ｃに対してめくり対象３ｂをめくる方向に、レバー４６を回動させる（ステップＳ１１）。このとき、ピックアップ２１の粘着テープ２５にめくり対象３ｂ（ページ）が接着している場合には、レバー４６がめくり対象３ｂをめくる動作に伴ってめくり対象３ｂに作用する負荷も、粘着テープ２５の接触部Ｃに加わるので、粘着テープ２５からめくり対象３ｂがスムースに剥離する（ステップＳ１２）。 Next, the turning unit 12 starts the turning operation of the lever 46 when the pickup unit 11 inserts the lever 46 below the turning target 3b (step S9). Subsequently, the pickup unit 11 raises the pickup 21 again and moves the pickup 21 out of the movable range of the turning target 3b (page) that is adhered to the adhesive tape 25, thereby turning the turning target 3b from the adhesive tape 25. Is peeled off (step S10). Further, the turning unit 12 rotates the lever 46 in a direction in which the turning target 3b is turned with respect to the binding unit 3c (step S11). At this time, when the turning target 3b (page) is adhered to the adhesive tape 25 of the pickup 21, the load acting on the turning target 3b when the lever 46 turns the turning target 3b is also applied to the adhesive tape 25. Since it is applied to the contact portion C, the turning target 3b is smoothly peeled off from the adhesive tape 25 (step S12).
　また、めくり対象３ｂの下方にレバー４６が挿入された後、一方の押え部１３（手前側）の押えローラ５１が持ち上げられる（ステップＳ１３）。これによって、めくり部１２は、レバー４６によってめくり対象３ｂを綴じ部３ｃの反対側へ移動させることが可能となり、めくり対象３ｂが綴じ部３ｃに対してめくられる。レバー４６によってめくり対象３ｂがめくられた後、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、他方の押え部１３（奥側）の押えローラ５１を押し下げ、めくり対象３ｂがめくられた見開き面３ａを押える（ステップＳ１４）。続いて、めくり部１２は、レバー４６を逆方向へ回動させて初期位置へ戻す（ステップＳ１５）。 Further, after the lever 46 is inserted below the turning target 3b, the presser roller 51 of one presser portion 13 (front side) is lifted (step S13). As a result, the turning part 12 can move the turning object 3b to the opposite side of the binding part 3c by the lever 46, and the turning object 3b is turned with respect to the binding part 3c. After the turning target 3b is turned by the lever 46, the binding medium reading device 1 pushes down the pressing roller 51 of the other pressing portion 13 (back side) and presses the spread surface 3a where the turning target 3b is turned (step S14). ). Subsequently, the turning unit 12 rotates the lever 46 in the reverse direction to return to the initial position (step S15).
　そして、綴じ媒体読取装置１の制御部１５は、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂを最後のページまでめくり終わった最後であるかを判断する（ステップＳ１６）。このとき、制御部１５は、例えば、あらかじめ設定されたページ数分だけめくり動作や読取り動作を行った回数に基づいてめくり対象３ｂが最後のページまでめくり終わったか否かを判断する。ステップＳ１６にて、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂを最後のページまでめくり終わった場合（ＹＥＳ）、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、綴じ媒体３の読取り動作を終了する。また、ステップＳ１６にて、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂを最後のページまでめくり終わっていない場合（ＮＯ）、綴じ媒体読取装置１は、再度ステップＳ３へ移り、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａの読取り動作を行う。 Then, the control unit 15 of the binding medium reading device 1 determines whether it is the last time that the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 has been turned to the last page (step S16). At this time, the control unit 15 determines, for example, whether or not the turning target 3b has been turned to the last page based on the number of times the turning operation and the reading operation have been performed for the preset number of pages. If the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 has been turned to the last page in step S16 (YES), the binding medium reading device 1 ends the reading operation of the binding medium 3. If the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 has not been turned to the last page in step S16 (NO), the binding medium reading device 1 moves again to step S3 and reads the spread surface 3a of the binding medium 3. Perform the action.
　また、例えば、ピックアップ部１１がめくり対象３ｂの持ち上げを失敗した場合や、めくり部１２がめくり対象３ｂをめくることができなかった場合には、読取り部５が見開き面３ａを読み取った画像が重複することになる。したがって、制御部１５は、読取り部５が読み取った各ページの読取画像を比較することで、めくり対象３ｂのめくり動作中にエラーが発生したことを検知してもよい。 Further, for example, when the pickup unit 11 fails to lift the turning target 3b, or when the turning unit 12 cannot turn the turning target 3b, the images read by the reading unit 5 from the spread surface 3a are duplicated. Will do. Therefore, the control unit 15 may detect that an error has occurred during the turning operation of the turning target 3b by comparing the read images of the respective pages read by the reading unit 5.
　また、ピックアップ部１１は、めくり対象３ｂの持ち上げ状態を検知する光センサを有することで、光センサの検知結果に基づいて制御部１５が、めくり対象３ｂの持ち上げ動作を失敗したと判断したときに、巻取機構３３によって粘着テープ２５を所定量だけ巻き取るように制御を行ってもよい。これにより、粘着テープ２５の粘着力が適正に確保され、めくり対象３ｂの持ち上げ動作の失敗を抑えることが可能になる。 In addition, the pickup unit 11 includes an optical sensor that detects the lifting state of the turning target 3b, so that when the control unit 15 determines that the lifting operation of the turning target 3b has failed based on the detection result of the optical sensor. Alternatively, the winding mechanism 33 may perform control so that the adhesive tape 25 is wound by a predetermined amount. Thereby, the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 25 is ensured appropriately, and the failure of the lifting operation of the turning target 3b can be suppressed.
　このように綴じ媒体読取装置１は、綴じ媒体３のめくり動作と綴じ媒体３の読取り動作とを独立して行うが、ページをめくりながらページの読取りを行うように、めくり動作と読取り動作とを同時に行ってもよい。また、読取り部５を備える構成に限定されるものではなく、例えば障害者用の綴じ媒体閲覧装置として用いる場合には、めくり動作のみを行う綴じ媒体めくり装置６単体で構成されてもよい。綴じ媒体めくり装置６のめくり動作は、綴じ媒体読取装置１のめくり動作とほぼ同様であるので、簡単に説明する。図３２は、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６が、綴じ媒体３のページをめくる動作を説明するためのフローチャートである。 As described above, the binding medium reading apparatus 1 performs the turning operation of the binding medium 3 and the reading operation of the binding medium 3 independently, but performs the turning operation and the reading operation so as to read the page while turning the page. You may do it at the same time. Further, the configuration is not limited to the configuration including the reading unit 5. For example, when used as a binding medium browsing device for a handicapped person, the binding medium turning device 6 may be configured as a single unit that performs only the turning operation. Since the turning operation of the binding medium turning device 6 is almost the same as the turning operation of the binding medium reading device 1, it will be described briefly. FIG. 32 is a flowchart for explaining an operation in which the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment turns a page of the binding medium 3.
　図３２に示すように、綴じ媒体めくり装置６は、載置台８の奥側及び手前側に配置された一組の押え部１３によって、綴じ媒体３の見開き面３ａが閉じないように、見開き面３ａを押し下げる（ステップＳ２１）。続いて、綴じ媒体めくり装置６は、ピックアップ部１１によってピックアップ２１を下降させ、押圧ローラ２８によって粘着テープ２５を、見開き面３ａのめくり対象３ｂに押し当てる（ステップＳ２２）。つぎに、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を上昇させ、粘着テープ２５に接着されためくり対象３ｂを、めくり部１２のレバー４６が移動する高さを超えるまで上昇させて停止する（ステップＳ２３）。制御部１５は、巻取機構３３を駆動させる巻取開始信号であるトリガＴをピックアップ部１１へ送り、ピックアップ部１１が、巻取機構３３によって巻取リール２７を回転させる（ステップＳ２４）。これにより、ピックアップ部１１は、押圧ローラ２８が押圧する部分の粘着テープ２５を送り、新たな粘着面が引き出されるので、粘着テープ２５の粘着力が適正に保たれる。 As shown in FIG. 32, the binding medium turning device 6 has a spread surface so that the spread surface 3 a of the binding medium 3 is not closed by a set of pressing portions 13 arranged on the back side and the near side of the mounting table 8. 3a is pushed down (step S21). Subsequently, the binding medium turning device 6 lowers the pickup 21 by the pickup unit 11 and presses the adhesive tape 25 against the turning target 3b of the spread surface 3a by the pressing roller 28 (step S22). Next, the pick-up part 11 raises the pick-up 21, and raises and stops the turning target 3b, which is bonded to the adhesive tape 25, until the lever 46 of the turning part 12 moves (step S23). The control unit 15 sends a trigger T, which is a winding start signal for driving the winding mechanism 33, to the pickup unit 11, and the pickup unit 11 rotates the winding reel 27 by the winding mechanism 33 (step S24). As a result, the pickup unit 11 feeds the adhesive tape 25 at the portion pressed by the pressing roller 28, and a new adhesive surface is pulled out, so that the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 25 is properly maintained.
　つぎに、めくり部１２は、ピックアップ部１１が持ち上げためくり対象３ｂの下方にレバー４６を挿入することで、レバー４６がめくり動作を開始する（ステップＳ２５）。続いて、ピックアップ部１１は、ピックアップ２１を再度上昇させ、粘着テープ２５に接着されためくり対象３ｂ（ページ）の移動範囲外へピックアップ２１を移動させることで、粘着テープ２５からめくり対象３ｂを剥離させる（ステップＳ２６）。また、めくり部１２は、綴じ部３ｃに対してめくり対象３ｂをめくる方向に、レバー４６を回動させる（ステップＳ２７）。このとき、ピックアップ２１の粘着テープ２５にめくり対象３ｂ（ページ）が接着している場合には、レバー４６によるめくり動作でめくり対象３ｂに作用する負荷によって、粘着テープ２５からめくり対象３ｂが剥離する（ステップＳ２８）。 Next, the turning unit 12 starts the turning operation of the lever 46 by inserting the lever 46 below the object 3b to be picked up by the pickup unit 11 (step S25). Subsequently, the pickup unit 11 lifts the pickup 21 again and moves the pickup 21 out of the moving range of the turning target 3b (page) that is adhered to the adhesive tape 25, thereby peeling the turning target 3b from the adhesive tape 25. (Step S26). Further, the turning unit 12 rotates the lever 46 in a direction in which the turning target 3b is turned with respect to the binding unit 3c (step S27). At this time, when the turning target 3b (page) is adhered to the adhesive tape 25 of the pickup 21, the turning target 3b is peeled off from the adhesive tape 25 by the load acting on the turning target 3b by the turning operation by the lever 46. (Step S28).
　また、めくり対象３ｂの下方にレバー４６が挿入された後、一組の押え部１３（手前側、奥側）の押えローラ５１が持ち上げられる（ステップＳ２９）。これによって、めくり部１２は、レバー４６によってめくり対象３ｂを綴じ部３ｃの反対側へ移動させることが可能となり、めくり対象３ｂが綴じ部３ｃに対してめくられる。レバー４６によってめくり対象３ｂがめくられた後、綴じ媒体めくり装置６は、他方の押え部１３（奥側）の押えローラ５１を押し下げ、めくり対象３ｂがめくられた見開き面３ａを押える（ステップＳ３０）。続いて、めくり部１２は、レバー４６を逆方向へ回動させて初期位置へ戻す（ステップＳ３１）。また、めくり対象３ｂがめくられた後、綴じ媒体めくり装置６は、一方の押え部１３（手前側）の押えローラ５１を押し下げ、めくり対象３ｂがめくられた見開き面３ａを押える（ステップＳ３２）。 Further, after the lever 46 is inserted below the turning object 3b, the presser roller 51 of the set of presser portions 13 (front side and rear side) is lifted (step S29). As a result, the turning part 12 can move the turning object 3b to the opposite side of the binding part 3c by the lever 46, and the turning object 3b is turned with respect to the binding part 3c. After the turning target 3b is turned by the lever 46, the binding medium turning device 6 pushes down the pressing roller 51 of the other pressing portion 13 (back side) and presses the spread surface 3a where the turning target 3b is turned (step S30). ). Subsequently, the turning unit 12 rotates the lever 46 in the reverse direction to return to the initial position (step S31). Further, after the turning target 3b is turned, the binding medium turning device 6 pushes down the pressing roller 51 of one pressing portion 13 (near side) and presses the spread surface 3a on which the turning target 3b is turned (step S32). .
　実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６におけるピックアップ部１１は、粘着テープ２５に張力を付与すると共に、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接触部Ｃの軌跡の少なくとも一部が、接触部Ｃが綴じ部３ｃを中心として回転可能な円弧Ｑの内周側に含まれるように、粘着テープ２５を移動させる。これにより、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの剥離性が高められると共に、粘着テープ２５によってめくり対象３ｂを持ち上げているときに接着状態を保つことができる。そして、ピックアップ部１１がめくり対象３ｂを所定の位置まで移動させたときのめくり対象３ｂに対する粘着テープ２５の剥離性を高めることが可能になり、綴じ媒体３のめくり動作の信頼性を高めることができる。 The pickup unit 11 in the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment applies tension to the adhesive tape 25, and at least part of the locus of the contact part C between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is the binding part of the contact part C. The adhesive tape 25 is moved so as to be included on the inner peripheral side of the arc Q that can rotate around 3c. Thereby, the peelability between the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is enhanced, and the adhesive state can be maintained when the turning target 3b is lifted by the adhesive tape 25. And it becomes possible to improve the peelability of the adhesive tape 25 with respect to the turning target 3b when the pick-up part 11 moves the turning target 3b to a predetermined position, and can improve the reliability of the turning operation of the binding medium 3. it can.
　また、綴じ媒体めくり装置６におけるピックアップ部１１は、粘着テープ２５を用いて綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂを接着することで、複数種類のめくり対象３ｂの異なる接着条件に応じて粘着力を容易に設定することが可能になり、様々な媒体に対する汎用性を高めることができる。また、綴じ媒体めくり装置６におけるピックアップ部１１は、巻取リール２７に粘着テープ２５を巻き取ることで、所定のタイミングで新たな粘着面が引き出されるので、粘着テープ２５を適正な粘着力に容易に保つことができる。 Further, the pickup unit 11 in the binding medium turning device 6 adheres the turning target 3b of the binding medium 3 using the adhesive tape 25, so that the adhesive force can be easily applied according to different bonding conditions of the plural types of turning targets 3b. It becomes possible to set, and the versatility with respect to various media can be improved.

　また、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６におけるピックアップ部１１は、少なくとも綴じ媒体３から持ち上げられためくり対象３ｂと綴じ媒体３との間にめくり部１２のレバー４６が進入するまでの間、接触部Ｃの軌跡が、円弧Ｑの内周側に含まれるように、粘着テープ２５を移動させる。これにより、めくり部１２がめくり対象３ｂをめくり始めるまで粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接着状態が保たれるので、綴じ媒体３のめくり動作の信頼性を高めることができる。 Further, the pickup unit 11 in the binding medium turning device 6 of the embodiment is at least a contact part until the lever 46 of the turning part 12 enters between the binding target 3b and the binding medium 3 because the pickup unit 11 is lifted from the binding medium 3. The adhesive tape 25 is moved so that the locus of C is included on the inner peripheral side of the arc Q. Thereby, since the adhesive state of the adhesive tape 25 and the turning target 3b is maintained until the turning part 12 starts to turn the turning target 3b, the reliability of the turning operation of the binding medium 3 can be improved.
　また、実施例の綴じ媒体めくり装置６におけるピックアップ部１１は、めくり部１２がめくり対象３ｂをめくる動作に伴ってめくり対象３ｂの高さが変化した場合であっても、円弧Ｑに対する軌跡の相対位置を一定に保つように、粘着テープ２５を移動させる。これにより、綴じ媒体３のめくり対象３ｂの高さの変動に対応することが可能になり、粘着テープ２５とめくり対象３ｂとの接着状態の安定性を高めることができる。 Further, the pickup unit 11 in the binding medium turning device 6 according to the embodiment is configured such that the trajectory relative to the arc Q is changed even when the height of the turning target 3b changes as the turning unit 12 turns the turning target 3b.
