(Composition of folding part)
As shown in FIG. 8, the folding unit 7 includes folding means 70 for folding the paper or the bound paper P2. The folding means 70 is configured to fold the paper or the bound paper P2 in three, and includes four folding rolls 71 to 74 and two folding trays 75 disposed on both sides of the folding rolls 71 to 74, 76. The folding trays 75 and 76 are thin box-like members with one end opened and the other end closed, and the length from one end to the other is substantially 1 / of the length in the longitudinal direction of the paper. The folding rolls 71 to 74 are arranged so as to sequentially contact each other, the folding rolls 71 and 72 rotate in a direction to feed the paper to the folding tray 75, and the folding rolls 72 and 73 send the paper to the folding tray 76. Rotate to. The folding rolls 73 and 74 rotate in a direction in which the paper P2 is discharged from the folding unit 7.

この折畳み手段70では、折りロール71、72間に挿入された用紙P2は、まず折りトレイ75に導入され、さらに折りロール71、72によって送られることにより、用紙P2の先端が折りトレイ75の閉じた端部に当接する。さらに、折りロール71、72によって用紙が進行し続けると、用紙P2は折りトレイ75と折りロール72との間で撓み、この撓んだ部分が折りロール72、73間に捉えられる。これによって、用紙P2は、先端から約1/3の位置で折畳まれて、折畳み部分を先端として折りロール72、73間を通過し、折りトレイ76に導入される(図8(b))。   In the folding means 70, the paper P 2 inserted between the folding rolls 71 and 72 is first introduced into the folding tray 75 and further fed by the folding rolls 71 and 72, so that the leading edge of the paper P 2 is closed by the folding tray 75. Abuts against the edge. Further, when the sheet continues to advance by the folding rolls 71 and 72, the sheet P2 bends between the folding tray 75 and the folding roll 72, and the bent portion is caught between the folding rolls 72 and 73. As a result, the sheet P2 is folded at a position about 1/3 from the leading edge, passes between the folding rolls 72 and 73 with the folded portion as the leading edge, and is introduced into the folding tray 76 (FIG. 8B). .

用紙P2の折畳み部分が折りトレイ76の閉じた端部に当接した後、さらに用紙P2が送られると、今度は、用紙P2は折りロール73と折りトレイ76との間で撓み、この撓んだ部分が折りトレイ76の最後に導入された用紙P2の先端部分とともに折りロール73、74間に捉えられる(図8(c))。これによって、用紙P2の先端から約2/3の位置でさらに折畳まれて、用紙P2は3つ折状態となり、折りロール73、74によって排出される(図8(d))。   After the folded portion of the sheet P2 comes into contact with the closed end of the folding tray 76, when the sheet P2 is further fed, the sheet P2 is bent between the folding roll 73 and the folding tray 76, and this bending is performed. The slack portion is caught between the folding rolls 73 and 74 together with the leading end portion of the paper P2 introduced at the end of the folding tray 76 (FIG. 8C). As a result, the sheet P2 is further folded at a position about 2/3 from the front end of the sheet P2, and the sheet P2 is folded into three and discharged by the folding rolls 73 and 74 (FIG. 8D).

(封入部の構成)
封入部8は、図9に示すように、印刷済みの用紙P2を、1枚ないし複数枚を単位として印刷済みの封筒P1に封入する封入手段80を備える。封入手段80は、用紙P2を押出すプッシャー81と、封筒P1を開封するフォーク82と、封入後の封筒P1を受ける封筒トレイ83を備えている。
(Structure of enclosure)
As shown in FIG. 9, the enclosing unit 8 includes an enclosing unit 80 that encloses the printed paper P2 in a printed envelope P1 in units of one or more sheets. The enclosing unit 80 includes a pusher 81 for extruding the paper P2, a fork 82 for opening the envelope P1, and an envelope tray 83 for receiving the encapsulated envelope P1.

プッシャー81は、底部と底部に対し垂直なプレート部とを備えた略L字状の部材であり、封入位置と封筒トレイ83との間を往復動する。フォーク82は、テーパ形状を有する一対の部材からなり、プッシャー81の移動路の側壁に沿ってプッシャー81と同じ方向に移動する。この際、移動の始点ではプッシャー81の移動路よりも低いレベルにあり、移動の終点では、プッシャー81の移動路と同一レベルになる。フォーク82のこのような運動を可能にするため、プッシャー81の移動路の側壁には、フォーク82を案内するガイド(図示せず)が設けられている。一対のフォーク82は、同一の駆動モータによってガイドに沿って前記始点と終点との間を往復動する。   The pusher 81 is a substantially L-shaped member having a bottom portion and a plate portion perpendicular to the bottom portion, and reciprocates between the sealing position and the envelope tray 83. The fork 82 is composed of a pair of members having a tapered shape, and moves in the same direction as the pusher 81 along the side wall of the movement path of the pusher 81. At this time, the movement start point is lower than the movement path of the pusher 81, and the movement end point is the same level as the movement path of the pusher 81. In order to enable such movement of the fork 82, a guide (not shown) for guiding the fork 82 is provided on the side wall of the movement path of the pusher 81. The pair of forks 82 reciprocate between the start point and the end point along the guide by the same drive motor.

封筒トレイ83は、プッシャー81の移動路の一端においてプッシャー81の移動路と直交する方向に移動可能に設置されており、封入動作が行われるときにはプッシャー81の移動路の端部に位置し、封入動作の終了後、プッシャー81の移動路と直交する方向に移動するように駆動制御される。   The envelope tray 83 is installed at one end of the movement path of the pusher 81 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the movement path of the pusher 81, and is located at the end of the movement path of the pusher 81 when the sealing operation is performed. After the operation is completed, the drive is controlled so as to move in a direction orthogonal to the moving path of the pusher 81.

(封緘部の構成)
封緘部9は、図10に示すように、用紙P2が封入された封筒P1を封緘する封緘手段90を備える。封緘手段90は、封入後の封筒P1を載せた封筒トレイ83を搬送するタイミングベルト91およびその駆動モータ92、タイミングベルト91上に封筒P1を送り出すためのニップモータ93、タイミングベルト91の搬送上流側の上方にあってフラップに水を供給する噴霧ノズル94、搬送と同時にフラップを折返す折返し板95、糊付けを確実にするための一対の加圧兼排出ロール96を備えている。噴霧ノズル94に代えて、接着剤を塗布するように構成してもよい。
(Structure of the sealing part)
As shown in FIG. 10, the sealing unit 9 includes sealing means 90 that seals the envelope P1 in which the paper P2 is sealed. The sealing means 90 includes a timing belt 91 that transports the envelope tray 83 on which the sealed envelope P1 is placed, a driving motor 92 thereof, a nip motor 93 that feeds the envelope P1 onto the timing belt 91, and a transport upstream side of the timing belt 91. A spray nozzle 94 that supplies water to the flap is provided above, a folding plate 95 that folds the flap at the same time as conveyance, and a pair of pressurizing and discharging rolls 96 for ensuring gluing. Instead of the spray nozzle 94, an adhesive may be applied.

タイミングベルト91およびニップモータ93は、フォーク81とプッシャー82による封入動作終了後、プッシャー82位置を検知するセンサからの信号により駆動し、これによって封筒トレイ83を装置横方向に搬送する。このとき、同時に噴霧ノズル94を駆動する電磁弁が作動し、これによって封筒P1のフラップに糊水を霧状にして供給する。   The timing belt 91 and the nip motor 93 are driven by a signal from a sensor for detecting the position of the pusher 82 after the closing operation by the fork 81 and the pusher 82, thereby conveying the envelope tray 83 in the lateral direction of the apparatus. At this time, the solenoid valve for driving the spray nozzle 94 is simultaneously operated, and thereby, the glue water is supplied to the flap of the envelope P1 in the form of mist.

タイミングベルト91の搬送路上側に設置された折返し板95は、1枚の平坦な帯状の板材をねじったような形状を有し、その一端は搬送面となす角度が180度に近い鈍角であり、他端は搬送面となす角度が0度に近い鋭角となるように構成されている。即ち、折返し板95と搬送面との角度はその上流から下流にかけて180度から0度に漸次小さくなる。従ってフラップが開いた状態で搬送される封筒P1は、搬送の間に折返し板95によってフラップが折返され、搬送の終点ではフラップが閉じた状態になる。   The folded plate 95 installed on the upper side of the conveyance path of the timing belt 91 has a shape like a single flat belt-like plate twisted, and one end thereof is an obtuse angle whose angle to the conveyance surface is close to 180 degrees. The other end is configured such that the angle formed with the transport surface is an acute angle close to 0 degrees. That is, the angle between the folded plate 95 and the conveying surface gradually decreases from 180 degrees to 0 degrees from the upstream side to the downstream side. Accordingly, the envelope P1 conveyed with the flap opened is folded back by the folding plate 95 during the conveyance, and the flap is closed at the end point of conveyance.

フラップには、噴霧ノズル94によって糊水が供給されているので、この時点でほぼ封緘は完了しており、この状態で封筒トレイ83上の封筒P1は、一対の加圧ロール96間に挿入される。加圧ロール96は駆動ロールとこの駆動ロールに対し当接、離反可能な従動ロールからなり、封筒トレイ83の位置を検知するセンサからの信号により従動ロールが当接或いは離反する。加圧ロール96は軸が封筒P1の搬送方向と平行しており、封筒トレイ83の移動方向と直交する方向に封筒P1を排出する排出ローラとしても機能する。   Since the glue water is supplied to the flap by the spray nozzle 94, the sealing is almost completed at this point, and the envelope P1 on the envelope tray 83 is inserted between the pair of pressure rolls 96 in this state. The The pressure roll 96 includes a driving roll and a driven roll that can come into contact with and separate from the driving roll, and the driven roll comes into contact with or separates from a signal from a sensor that detects the position of the envelope tray 83. The pressure roll 96 has a shaft parallel to the conveying direction of the envelope P1, and also functions as a discharge roller that discharges the envelope P1 in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the envelope tray 83.

この封緘手段90では、封筒トレイ83が加圧ロール96の位置まで移動してくると、従動ロールは駆動ロールに当接するように駆動され、これによって両加圧ロール96間で封筒をニップする。加圧ロール96間で、封筒をニップしながら排出する際に、封緘部分は確実に糊付けされる。加圧ロール96間が封筒P1をニップした時点で封筒トレイ83はもとの封入部に復帰し、後続の封筒P1について封入動作が続けられる。   In the sealing means 90, when the envelope tray 83 moves to the position of the pressure roll 96, the driven roll is driven so as to come into contact with the drive roll, and thereby the envelope is nipped between the pressure rolls 96. When the envelope is discharged while being nipped between the pressure rolls 96, the sealed portion is securely glued. The envelope tray 83 returns to the original enclosure when the pressure roll 96 nips the envelope P1, and the enclosing operation is continued for the subsequent envelope P1.

加圧ロール96の近傍には、封緘後の封筒P1を受入れるスタッカ97が設置されており、封筒P1はこれに収納される。このスタッカ97は、装置前面に設けられた排出口からスタッカ97ごと取り出すことができる。   In the vicinity of the pressure roll 96, a stacker 97 for receiving the envelope P1 after sealing is installed, and the envelope P1 is accommodated therein. The stacker 97 can be taken out together with the stacker 97 from a discharge port provided on the front surface of the apparatus.

この発明は、特に印刷機や複写機などの画像形成装置と一体化することにより書類の印刷から封緘までを連続して自動的に行うことが可能な封入封緘装置に適用可能であり、簡単かつコンパクトな構成で、種々の書類の封入封緘に適用でき、しかも書類の高い秘密保持性を有する自動封入封緘が可能である。   The present invention is particularly applicable to an encapsulating and sealing apparatus that can automatically and continuously perform printing from document printing to sealing by integrating with an image forming apparatus such as a printing machine or a copying machine. With a compact configuration, it can be applied to enclosing and sealing various documents, and automatic enclosing and sealing with high confidentiality of documents is possible.
