INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a ring-binding genuine reversing method and an apparatus capable of quickly and surely reversing the stacking directions of a plurality of sheets with respect to a ring-bound genuine mount.

It is a side view of the real ring-bound binding. It is a perspective view which shows the schematic structure of the ring binding genuine reversing apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic process diagram for demonstrating the operation of the ring binding real reversing apparatus shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a ring-bound genuine reversing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the ring-binding genuine reversing device 10 includes a carry-in unit 20 into which the ring-bound bookbinding 1 is carried in, an articulated robot 30 that reverses the ring-bound bookbinding 1, and ring-binding bookbinding. It is provided with a carry-out unit 40 from which the object 1 is carried out.

The carry-in portion 20 includes a holding surface 22 formed of an inclined surface and a locking member 24 provided so as to project upward from the holding surface 22. The locking member 24 is formed in an L shape including a first plate-shaped member 24a extending along an inclined direction which is a carrying-in direction (A direction) of the holding surface 22 and a second plate-shaped member 24b orthogonal to the first plate-shaped member 24a. Has been done. When the ring-bound genuine 1 is carried onto the holding surface 22 from a belt conveyor (not shown) or the like, the edge bound by the ring-shaped binding tool 6 slides with the first plate-shaped member 24a. The edge portion on the tip side in the transport direction is guided and locked to the second plate-shaped member 24b. The holding surface 22 is formed so as to be inclined along the second plate-shaped member 24b, and the ring-bound bookbinding 1 is engaged with both the first plate-shaped member 24a and the second plate-shaped member 24b. It is stopped and positioned and held on the holding surface 22. As described above, the holding surface 22 is inclined along the two directions of the first plate-shaped member 24a and the second plate-shaped member 24b with respect to the horizontal plane, and the size, weight, and weight of the ring-bound genuine product 1 Even if there are factors such as friction with the material and the holding surface 22, the corner of the ring-bound genuine 1 is located at the reference position, which is the joint between the first plate-shaped member 24a and the second plate-shaped member 24b. Can be set.

The articulated robot 30 has a multi-axis (for example, 4 to 7 axes) structure in which a plurality of arms 32 are rotatably connected via joints, and the tip of the arm 32 has a pair of claws. Chuck 34 is rotatably attached. The operation of the arm 32 and the chuck 34 is controlled by a controller (not shown).

The unloading unit 40 is composed of, for example, a belt conveyor, and is sequentially placed on the transport surface 42 so that the ring-bound bound bookbinding 1 that has been inverted by the articulated robot 30 partially overlaps, and is transported in the direction B indicated by the arrow. Will be done.

Next, a method of reversing the ring-bound bookbinding product 1 using the ring-binding bookbinding product reversing device 10 having the above configuration will be described. With respect to the carry-in portion 20 shown in FIG. 2, the ring-bound bookbinding 1 is sequentially carried in at regular intervals in a state where the paper 4 is laminated on the back surface 2a side of the mount 2 (see FIG. 1 (a)). (Bring-in process).

In the backing sheet 2 of the ring-bound genuine book 1, the edge portion on the opposite side to the edge portion bound by the ring binding tool 6 protrudes from the paper 4, and the exposed portion 2c is formed. The articulated robot 30 grips the exposed portion 2c of the ring-bound genuine book 1 carried into the carry-in portion 20 by the chuck 34 (grasping step).

The ring binding tool 6 of the genuine ring binding 1 is not limited to the one made of paper, and may be made of metal, resin, or the like. Further, the ring-bound bookbinding 1 may be a ring-bound book in which a plurality of papers 4 are laminated on a mount 2, and a ring notebook, a day-turning book, or the like can be exemplified in addition to the desk calendar. When the mount 2 of the ring-bound genuine product 1 has the exposed portion 2c as in the present embodiment, the mount 2 can be easily gripped by the chuck 34, but the mount 2 does not necessarily have the exposed portion 2c. However, for example, the edge portion on the surface 2b side of the mount 2 can be gripped by suction or the like.

In this way, after gripping the mount 2 of the ring-bound genuine book 1, the reversing step is performed. FIG. 3 is a schematic process diagram for explaining the operation of the ring-bound genuine reversing device shown in FIG. 2, and is a view of a main part viewed from above. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the chuck 34 holding the mount 2 is rotated around a horizontal axis to erect the ring-bound genuine book 1 as shown in FIG. 3A. This operation can be performed from the state where the ring-bound bookbinding 1 is horizontal, but in the present embodiment, the ring-binding bookbinding 1 is held at an angle along the holding surface 22 as shown in FIG. Since the chuck 34 rotates so as to switch the top and bottom of the ring-bound bookbinding 1 from the state, the ring-binding bookbinding 1 rotates greatly along the vertical surface, and the paper 4 can be easily separated from the mount 2. , The reversing operation of the paper 4 described later can be easily performed. The inclination angle of the holding surface 22 along the first plate-shaped member 24a and the second plate-shaped member 24b with respect to the horizontal plane is not particularly limited, but the ring-bound genuine product 1 carried into the carry-in portion 20. From the viewpoint of ensuring the positioning and securing the rotation distance of the ring-bound genuine book 1, it is preferable that the temperature is 5 to 55 degrees. This inclination angle may be configured so that the carry-in portion 20 can be adjusted on site, for example, by providing a support bracket (not shown) whose mounting position, length, and the like can be changed.

Next, the chuck 34 is horizontally accelerated and then decelerated in the direction C, which is the direction opposite to the stacking direction of the paper 4 with respect to the mount 2. When the chuck 34 is accelerated, an inertial force in the direction of arrow D that tends to separate from the mount 2 acts on the paper 4, so that the paper 4 adheres to the ring-shaped binding tool 6 as shown in FIG. 3 (b). It rotates along the horizontal plane together with the portion 6a. After that, as the chuck 34 decelerates, an inertial force in the arrow E direction acts on the paper 4, so that the paper 4 and the connecting portion 6a continue to rotate, as shown in FIG. 3 (c). The paper 4 moves to the surface 2b side of the mount 2. By applying a horizontal inertial force to the paper 4 in this way, the paper 4 can be smoothly rotated without causing twisting and deformation of the mount 2 and the paper 4, and the stacking direction of the paper 4 can be obtained. Can be reliably reversed. Acceleration and deceleration of the chuck 34 can be performed by a rotating operation, but may be performed by a straight-ahead operation, and the direction does not necessarily have to be exactly horizontal, and a range that does not hinder the smooth rotation of the paper 4. May be slightly tilted.

Then, the chuck 34 is rotated around the horizontal axis to bring the ring-bound bookbinding 1 into a horizontal state as shown in FIG. 3D, whereby the paper 4 is laminated on the surface 2b side of the mount 2. After covering the connection portion 6a of the ring-shaped binding tool 6, the orientation of the ring-bound binding genuine product 1 is adjusted according to the transport direction of the carry-out portion 40 shown in FIG. 2 and placed on the transport surface 42 (delivery step). ). In this way, the method of reversing the ring-bound genuine book 1 is completed.

In the unloading step, it is preferable to perform an operation of pushing the chuck 34 toward the ring-shaped binding tool 6 and lowering the chuck 34 while the chuck 34 is rotating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ring binding tool 6 side of the mount 2 from bending significantly downward due to the reversal of the paper 4 with respect to the mount 2, so that the paper 4 is prevented from rotating toward the back surface 2a due to the bending of the mount 2. Therefore, the inverted state of the paper 4 can be reliably maintained.
