Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a sheet processing apparatus that automatically folds a sheet such as paper into a predetermined shape, and further, automatically folds the sheet into a predetermined shape, automatically punches holes at predetermined positions, and automatically places them at predetermined positions. The present invention relates to a sheet processing device for stamping.

[Prior art]

For example, conventionally used blueprints (diazo copy) and recent electrophotography (transfer type copy) can obtain copies of various sizes. In general, A-size copies larger than A4 are folded into A4, and B-size copies larger than B5 are folded into 5, punched as needed, and stamped as needed. Since this type of sheet processing is conventionally performed by hand, it takes a lot of work and the accurate folding shape, punch hole, stamp position, etc. are not always obtained. Many do not know how to fold. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-62165 discloses a first horizontal folding mechanism for folding (horizontal folding) a paper in a direction orthogonal to a paper feeding and conveying direction, a paper folded horizontally by the horizontal folding mechanism or a horizontal folding mechanism. A vertical folding mechanism that performs folding (vertical folding) in parallel with the paper transport direction on paper that has passed without the function, and second horizontal folding that performs folding (horizontal folding) in the direction perpendicular to the paper transport direction for vertically folded paper. A paper folding machine having a mechanism is disclosed. According to this paper folding machine, several kinds of large size paper can be folded into several kinds of small size. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-2194 discloses an automatic authentication machine that is equipped with a horizontal folding mechanism, a stapler, and a plate-printing device, and folds sheets that are sequentially inserted into two horizontally, superimposes them, binds them with a stapler, and imprints them. Has been done.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Since the paper folding machine disclosed in JP-A-57-62165 has two sets of horizontal folding mechanism and one set of vertical folding mechanism, it is possible to fold several kinds of large size paper into several kinds of small size. For example, when copying and stamping copy paper ejected from a copying machine, even if paper of the same size is ejected vertically, it may be ejected laterally. It is difficult to set the operation of the first horizontal folding mechanism, the vertical folding mechanism, and the second horizontal folding mechanism for performing the required small-size folding processing according to the paper posture and the paper size, and the paper ejected from the copying machine is lengthened. It is difficult to determine whether to feed the paper into the paper folding machine by feeding the paper horizontally or horizontally, and to load the paper ejected in the horizontal feeding into the paper folding machine in the vertical feeding. Then, the folding process will be applied unintentionally. It is difficult to flatten a folded paper once and perform the required folding by hand, and when the flattened paper is reloaded into the paper folding machine, a transportation trouble (jam) is likely to occur in the machine. The automatic authentication machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-2194 has only one size that can be processed.
It is not possible to perform automatic folding processing and imprinting when a large number of sizes such as vertical and horizontal postures are disturbed. A first object of the present invention is to provide a sheet processing apparatus that automatically performs a folding process of a designated folding type regardless of a paper-feeding posture and a paper-feeding size. Secondly, to provide a sheet processing apparatus for performing a folding process of a designated folding type and punching holes.
It is a third object of the present invention to provide a sheet processing apparatus that automatically performs a specified type of folding process, punching and stamping regardless of the paper-feeding posture and the paper-feeding size.

Line) and fold the paper PR (two-dot chain line)
Moreover, it is easy to hold. Also, folding plate
The tip of 197 is shaped like a "shi" to prevent paper from escaping.
Has become. When folding plate 197 moves to the right, the three corners of paper PR
The shape part is the long straight part 197a of the folded plate 197,
The first one is erected and stands up, while the folding plate 197's "shi"
The short linear portion 197c, which corresponds to the splashed portion, is on the second side SE of the paper PR.
Crossing above, this short straight line portion 197c is the second side of the paper PR.

197c is the second side SE of the paper, which is far from the top of the triangular folding corner.
I will hold it in the direction that gradually approaches the corner apex from the position
Finally, the bent bottom 197b of the "shi" shape is the second side SE of the paper PR.
When it hits, a turn point is formed on the second side SE,
The fold line starts to move from the folding start point in the direction of the push plate 138 (No. 5).
(Fig. h). In other words, the bent bottom 197b in the shape of "shi" is the first on the paper PR.
The position that hits the 2nd side SE (the position on the 2nd side SE) is the 2nd side SE
It becomes the starting point of the upper fold, and the fold appears there. That
Paper erected on the front and rear with a long straight portion 197a with a "shi" shape
The first side FE of the plate is folded at the left edge of the push plate 138 because it is hindered from standing.
It begins to be returned. That is, a turning point is formed on the first side FE.
As the folding plate 197 moves further to the right, the second side S of the paper PR
From the above-mentioned starting point of E, the turn-back proceeds in the length direction of the push plate 138.

Since it is designed to be dropped onto the
It is easy to switch between turns and the 90 ° turns
It is done gently. Separate direct paper feed path and 90 ° turn path
You do n’t have to
I have. Place a register that can move back and forth in the paper outlet,
Make sure to adjust the posture of straight paper (correct the misalignment).
Since the paper feeding position is adjusted,
The paper orientation to the knit becomes accurate. Even with the 90 ° turn mechanism unit 200, the paper receiving path is horizontal T
Accepts vertically unfolded paper and vertically folded paper separately as a letter shape, and
Adjust the posture together and send them to the common outlet
This makes it easier to handle paper in the mechanical unit later.
It For both vertical and non-paper feed rollers and 90 ° turn rollers
I'm supposed to send the paper with the steel ball solenoid
Thus, paper feed selection and control can be performed easily and smoothly. (9) For the first folding in the blade folding mechanism unit 300
