Description

本発明は、所定数の給紙装置を配列した丁合機の複数を連結した多連丁合機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a multiple collating machine in which a plurality of collating machines in which a predetermined number of sheet feeding devices are arranged are connected.

図４は、折丁（ペラ用紙も含む）を丁合する万力丁合機の構成を示すもので、丁合機１には６台の給紙装置が配列されている。各給紙装置の用紙集積台上には丁合する折丁２ａ〜２ｆがそれぞれ集積されており、その最下部の折丁一枚を所定のタイミングで吸着して一部繰り出し、繰り出した折丁のその一部を、図示しない駆動軸に固定したスイングアーム３ａ〜３ｆの先端に取付けた指で把持して搬送路４へ供給する。 FIG. 4 shows the configuration of a vise collating machine that collates signatures (including pella paper). The collating machine 1 has six paper feeders arranged therein. The signatures 2a to 2f to be collated are respectively collected on the paper stacking table of each sheet feeding device, and the lowermost signature is picked up at a predetermined timing and partially fed out. A part thereof is gripped by a finger attached to the tip of swing arms 3 a to 3 f fixed to a drive shaft (not shown) and supplied to the conveyance path 4.

搬送路４の中央部には、チェーン５に一定の間隔（給紙装置から供給する用紙の最大サイズよりも多少長くした間隔）で固定された搬送爪６が移動する通路が形成されており、チェーン５の移動に伴う搬送爪６の移動で搬送路４へ供給された折丁を推し進める（以下、搬送爪６と隣接の搬送爪６の間をコンベア駒と言う。つまり、搬送爪６が移動することはコンベア駒が移動することである。）。 In the central portion of the transport path 4, a path is formed in which a transport claw 6 that is fixed to the chain 5 at regular intervals (slightly longer than the maximum size of the paper supplied from the paper feeder) moves. The signature supplied to the conveyance path 4 is pushed forward by the movement of the conveyance claw 6 accompanying the movement of the chain 5 (hereinafter referred to as a conveyor piece between the conveyance claw 6 and the adjacent conveyance claw 6. That is, the conveyance claw 6 moves. (To do is to move the conveyor piece.)

なお、スイングアーム３ａ〜３ｆを揺動する駆動軸は、チェーン５を駆動するモータ（丁合機の筐体７内に設置）の回転軸にカムなどを介して連結されており、このカムに決められたタイミングでスイングアーム３ａ〜３ｆを揺動する。また、このモータの回転軸には図示しないエンコーダが設置され、このエンコーダの出力信号は図示しない丁合制御装置に入力され、エンコーダの出力信号（搬送爪６の位置信号となる）が設定された搬送爪６の位置と一致するとき、最下部の折丁一枚を吸着して一部繰り出す。つまり、スイングアーム３ａ〜３ｆは搬送爪６の移動と同期してスイングし、搬送爪６が各給紙装置の直前に位置するとき、一部繰り出した折丁を把持してその各搬送爪６の前、つまり各コンベア駒に一斉に供給することとなる。 A drive shaft that swings the swing arms 3a to 3f is connected to a rotation shaft of a motor (installed in the casing 7 of the collator) that drives the chain 5 via a cam. The swing arms 3a to 3f are swung at a determined timing. In addition, an encoder (not shown) is installed on the rotating shaft of the motor, and an output signal of the encoder is input to a collation control device (not shown), and an output signal of the encoder (becomes a position signal for the conveyance claw 6) is set. When it coincides with the position of the transport claw 6, the lowermost signature is sucked and partially fed out. That is, the swing arms 3a to 3f swing in synchronism with the movement of the transport claws 6, and when the transport claws 6 are located immediately in front of the respective sheet feeding devices, the swing arms 3a to 3f grip the partially drawn signatures and move the respective transport claws 6 to each other. Before, that is, all the conveyor pieces are supplied all at once.

丁合制御装置には、各給紙装置について折丁を供給するか否かを決定するたとえば１ビットの記録素子を配列した、搬送爪６の位置信号でシフトするシフトレジスタと、このシフトレジスタの先頭の１ビットの記録素子に給紙する「１」か、否か「０」（リセット状態）を設定する給紙するコンベア駒を選択するコンベア駒選択設定手段と、コンベア駒に折丁を供給する給紙装置を選択する給紙装置選択手段が備えられている。 The collation control device includes, for example, a shift register in which a 1-bit recording element is arranged to determine whether or not to supply a signature for each paper feeding device, and a shift register that shifts in accordance with a position signal of the conveyance claw 6. Set “1” or not “0” (reset state) to feed the first 1-bit printing element. Conveyor piece selection setting means for selecting a conveyor piece to be fed, and a signature to the conveyor piece. A paper feeding device selection means for selecting a paper feeding device to be provided is provided.

いま、コンベア駒選択設定手段にすべてのコンベア駒を設定し、給紙装置選択手段にすべての給紙装置と設定したとすると、シフトレジスタの先頭の１ビットの記録素子に、搬送爪６の位置信号が発生する度に給紙するの「１」が記録される。シフトレジスタの先頭の１ビットの記録素子に記録された内容は、搬送爪６の位置信号が発生する度に次の記録素子へと、コンベア駒の移動とともにシフトする。これにより最初の給紙装置から供給された折丁２ａを載せたコンベア駒が次の給紙装置に到達すると、折丁２ａの上に折丁２ｂを載せる。以下これを順に繰り返し折丁２ａ〜２ｆを積み重ねて載せたコンベア駒が丁合機１から導出される。 Now, assuming that all the conveyor frames are set in the conveyor frame selection setting means and all the sheet feeding devices are set in the sheet feeding device selection means, the position of the transport claw 6 is set at the first 1-bit recording element of the shift register. Each time a signal is generated, “1” is recorded. The content recorded on the 1-bit recording element at the head of the shift register is shifted to the next recording element every time the position signal of the conveying claw 6 is generated, along with the movement of the conveyor piece. As a result, when the conveyor piece on which the signature 2a supplied from the first sheet feeding device reaches the next sheet feeding device, the signature 2b is placed on the signature 2a. Thereafter, this is repeated in order, and the conveyor pieces on which the signatures 2a to 2f are stacked and placed are led out from the collating machine 1.

この場合、すべてのコンベア駒を選択していることから、丁合機１から順次導出されるすべてのコンベア駒に折丁２ａ〜２ｆが載せられている。勿論、給紙装置選択手段にたとえば第３番目の給紙装置から折丁２ｃを供給しないと設定すれば、第３番目の給紙装置に対応するシフトレジスタの３番目の１ビットの記録素子に記録しないの「０」が常に記録され、その結果、折丁２ａ、２ｂ、２ｄ、２ｅ、２ｆを積み重ねたコンベア駒が丁合機１から導出される。また、コンベア駒選択設定手段にたとえば一つ置きのコンベア駒と設定すれば、シフトレジスタの先頭の１ビットの記録素子に「１」と「０」が交互に記録され、その結果、一つ置きに集積した折丁を載せたコンベア駒が丁合機１から導出される。 In this case, since all the conveyor pieces are selected, the signatures 2a to 2f are placed on all the conveyor pieces sequentially derived from the collating machine 1. Of course, if, for example, the signature 2c is not supplied from the third paper feeding device to the paper feeding device selection means, the third 1-bit recording element of the shift register corresponding to the third paper feeding device is used. “0” which is not recorded is always recorded, and as a result, a conveyor piece in which signatures 2a, 2b, 2d, 2e and 2f are stacked is led out from the collating machine 1. If, for example, every other conveyor piece is set in the conveyor piece selection setting means, “1” and “0” are alternately recorded in the first 1-bit recording element of the shift register, and as a result, every other piece. A conveyor piece on which the signatures accumulated in the machine are placed is extracted from the collator 1.

図４に示す丁合機１では、各給紙装置の用紙集積台の下部に、集積した最下部の折丁の特定箇所の画像を検出する画像検出器（ＣＣＤカメラ）が設置され、また、スイングアームの先端に取付けた指には、把持した折丁の厚みを検出する厚み検出器が設置されている。画像検出器の出力画像は丁合制御装置に入力され、予め設定した画像と対比し画像検出器の出力画像が設定した画像と異なる場合には、たとえば折丁の向きが異なるあるいは乱丁として判断して警告または一時停止する。同様に、厚み検出器の出力は、丁合制御装置に入力され、予め設定した厚みと対比し厚み検出器の出力厚みが設定した厚みと異なる場合には、２枚差し、あるいは空差しによる給紙ミスとして給紙ミスを発生した給紙装置に対応する給紙ミス表示灯９ａ〜９ｆを点灯する。 In the collating machine 1 shown in FIG. 4, an image detector (CCD camera) that detects an image of a specific portion of the lowermost folded signature is installed below the paper stacking table of each paper feeding device. A finger attached to the tip of the swing arm is provided with a thickness detector that detects the thickness of the grasped signature. The output image of the image detector is input to the collation control device, and if the output image of the image detector is different from the set image compared with the preset image, for example, the direction of the signature is determined to be different or as a mess To warn or pause. Similarly, the output of the thickness detector is input to the collation control device, and when the output thickness of the thickness detector is different from the set thickness compared with the preset thickness, feeding by two sheets or empty feed is performed. The paper feed error indication lamps 9a to 9f corresponding to the paper feeding device in which a paper feed error has occurred as a paper error are turned on.

丁合機１のコンベア駒を導出する端部には、防護板１２を設けて手差し供給部１０が設置されており、給紙装置の数を超える丁合物や給紙の難しい紙質の用紙を手差しで供給できるようにされている。その手差し供給部１０には表示装置１１が設置され、その表示装置１１は手差しで供給するタイミングなどを表示灯１１ａの点灯で指示する。 At the end of the collating machine 1 where the conveyor piece is led out, a protective plate 12 is provided and a manual feed unit 10 is installed. It can be supplied manually. A display device 11 is installed in the manual supply unit 10, and the display device 11 instructs the timing of manual supply by turning on the indicator lamp 11 a.

また、丁合機１のコンベア駒を導出する側の端部には、マイクロコンピュータからなる丁合制御装置１３が設置され、丁合機１の上部中央にタッチパネル１４ａを有するタッチパネル制御装置１４が設置され、タッチパネル制御装置１４は丁合制御装置１３に接続されており、丁合制御装置１３の設定に必要な指令やデータはタッチパネル１４ａに表示した項目ボタンなどの操作によって丁合制御装置１３に入力され、また、丁合制御装置１３の設定内容や丁合制御装置１３が取得した情報などはタッチパネル１４ａに反映される。 Further, a collation control device 13 composed of a microcomputer is installed at the end of the collating machine 1 on the side where the conveyor piece is led out, and a touch panel control device 14 having a touch panel 14 a is installed at the upper center of the collation machine 1. The touch panel control device 14 is connected to the collation control device 13, and commands and data necessary for setting the collation control device 13 are input to the collation control device 13 by operating the item buttons displayed on the touch panel 14a. In addition, the setting contents of the collation control device 13 and information acquired by the collation control device 13 are reflected on the touch panel 14a.

ところで、このような丁合機による丁合は給紙装置の台数に左右される。たとえば、前述の６台の給紙装置を搭載する丁合機では、一度では６枚の折丁（頁数は折丁の折数による。）を丁合することしかできない。丁合する折丁数がこれより多い場合には、前述の６台の給紙装置を搭載する丁合機１を単位として、その複数を、スイングアームを揺動する駆動軸、搬送爪を固定したチェーンを延長して丁合機１の後部（コンベア駒を導出する側の丁合機を先頭とする。）に順次連結した多連丁合機に構成される。 By the way, collation by such a collation machine depends on the number of sheet feeding devices. For example, a collating machine equipped with the above-described six paper feeders can only collate six signatures (the number of pages depends on the number of signatures) at a time. If the number of signatures to be collated is larger than this, the collating machine 1 equipped with the above-described six paper feeders is used as a unit, and a plurality of them are fixed to the drive shaft that swings the swing arm and the conveyance claw. The chain is extended to the rear part of the collating machine 1 (the collating machine on the side from which the conveyor piece is led out is the head) and is connected in sequence to a multiple collating machine.

そして、このような多連丁合機では、その運転や停止は先頭の丁合機のタッチパネルに表示したボタンの操作により行ない、各給紙装置にかかわる様々の設定や調整、たとえば給紙ミスを検出する折丁の厚みの設定やその設定値の調整などは各丁合機個々に設置したタッチパネルから行うようにしている。そのために操作者は、運転や停止をはじめ各給紙装置にかかわる様々な設定や調整の度ごとに多連丁合機の各丁合機間を移動しなければならず、きわめて面倒で手間がかかるといった問題があった。 In such a multiple collating machine, the operation and stoppage are performed by operating the buttons displayed on the touch panel of the leading collating machine, and various settings and adjustments related to each paper feeding device, for example, paper feeding errors are made. Setting of the thickness of the signature to be detected and adjustment of the set value are performed from a touch panel installed in each collating machine. Therefore, the operator has to move between each collating machine of the multiple collating machine every time various settings and adjustments related to each paper feeding device such as operation and stop, which is extremely troublesome and laborious. There was such a problem.

発明が解決しようとする課題は、多連丁合機の運転や停止ならびに各給紙装置にかかわる様々な設定や調整のための操作者の負担を軽減し、斯かる問題を解消する点にある。 The problem to be solved by the invention is to reduce the burden on the operator for various settings and adjustments related to the operation and stop of the multiple collating machine and each paper feeding device, and to solve such problems. .

上記の課題を解決するために、本発明は、所定数の給紙装置と、前記各給紙装置の動作を設定内容にしたがい制御する丁合制御装置と、前記丁合制御装置の動作内容を設定するタッチパネルに接続したタッチパネル制御装置とを備えた丁合機の複数を順次連結してなる多連丁合機において、各丁合機に設けた前記丁合制御装置どうしを、送受信手段を介して通信ケーブルで接続し、また、各丁合機に設けられ前記丁合制御装置の制御内容を設定するタッチパネル制御装置どうしを、送受信手段を介して通信ケーブルで接続するとともに、前記一つの丁合機に設置した丁合制御装置とタッチパネル制御装置を通信ケーブルで接続し、各丁合機の丁合制御装置の制御内容の設定およびその設定内容の確認並びに多連丁合機の運転や停止が各丁合機のタッチパネルで行える構成とした。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a predetermined number of paper feeding devices, a collation control device that controls the operation of each of the paper feeding devices according to the set content, and the operation content of the collation control device. In a multiple collating machine in which a plurality of collating machines having a touch panel control apparatus connected to a touch panel to be set are sequentially connected, the collating control apparatuses provided in each collating machine are connected via a transmitting / receiving means. In addition, the touch panel control devices that are provided in each collating machine and set the control content of the collation control device are connected to each other via a communication cable, and the one collating device is connected. Connect the collation control device installed in the machine and the touch panel control device with a communication cable, set the control content of the collation control device of each collation machine, check the setting details, and operate and stop the multiple collation machine Each collating machine It has a structure that allows the touch panel.

本発明では、一箇所の丁合機のタッチパネルで多連丁合機の運転や停止および各丁合機の制御装置の動作設定が行えるので、運転や停止をはじめ各給紙装置にかかわる様々な設定や調整の度ごとに多連丁合機の各丁合機間を移動する必要がなくなり、多連丁合機の運転や停止および各給紙装置にかかわる様々な設定や調整に伴う操作者の負担を大幅に低減することができる。 In the present invention, the operation and stop of the multiple collating machine and the operation setting of the control device of each collating machine can be performed with the touch panel of one collating machine. There is no need to move between each collating machine of the multiple collating machine for each setting or adjustment, and the operator associated with various settings and adjustments related to the operation and stopping of the multiple collating machine and each paper feeder Can be greatly reduced.

It is sent to the touch panel control device 21c of the first collator 21 via the device 21a.

また、隣り合うタッチパネル制御装置どうしを、送受信手段（通信手段）Ｔを介して通信ケーブルで接続されている。すなわち、２連目以降の丁合機３１、４１、５１、６１、７１の各タッチパネル制御装置３１ｃ、４１ｃ、５１ｃ、６１ｃ、７１ｃの情報は、１連目の丁合機２１のタッチパネル制御装置２１ｃを経由して２連目以降の丁合機３１、４１、５１、６１、７１の各丁合制御装置３１ａ、４１ａ、５１ａ、６１ａ、７１ａに送られる。 Adjacent touch panel control devices are connected to each other by a communication cable via transmission / reception means (communication means) T.

When requested to the device 21c, the touch panel control device 21c of the first collating machine checks the setting contents of the collating control device 61a of the fifth collating machine 61, and whether the change is possible (for example, the signature Whether or not it is selected as a paper feeding device to be supplied), notifies the touch panel control device of the setting, and reflects the changed setting on the touch panel.

また、いずれかの丁合制御装置で判定したエラーは、１連目の丁合機のタッチパネル制御装置に通知され、ここでそのエラーの表示が可能か（エラーによっては表示灯を点灯する場合もある。）判断し、すべてのタッチパネル制御装置にそのエラーを通知し、すべてのタッチパネルにエラー画面を表示する。 In addition, an error determined by one of the collation control devices is notified to the touch panel control device of the first collation machine, and whether or not the error can be displayed here (the display lamp may be turned on depending on the error). Yes, determine and notify all touch panel control devices of the error, and display an error screen on all touch panels.

したがって、丁合機を指定すれば、その丁合機の丁合制御装置内の情報が、すべてのタッチパネルに反映され、どのタッチパネルのおいてもその丁合機の丁合制御装置の設定内容が確認でき、また、その丁合機の丁合制御装置に必要な動作の設定や調節および多連丁合機の運転・停止（１連目の丁合機を指定）ができる。 Therefore, if you specify a collating machine, the information in the collating control device of that collating machine is reflected on all touch panels, and the settings of the collating control device of that collating machine are the same for any touch panel. In addition, it is possible to confirm and set operations necessary for the collation control device of the collating machine, and to operate / stop the multiple collating machine (specify the first collating machine).
