- the reason why the inclination is set to 60 degrees or more is that the claw portions of the reversing wheel are arranged with 12 teeth at intervals of 30 degrees, and it is necessary to secure the claw portion arrangement angle of 30 degrees. Further, if the angle exceeds 90 degrees (vertical), after the document comes out of the reversing wheel 320, the document is in a free fall state, and the aligned documents may vary during the fall.
- the inclination of the rotation regulation guide 345 is large compared to the vertical direction, it is impossible to deny the possibility that the influence of the frictional force is strongly exerted when the document descends.
- the inclination is about 85 degrees (a state where it has come out about 5 degrees), and the placement on the lifting tray 330 maintaining the aligned state can be confirmed.
- the present invention is not limited to the above example, and the aligned state can be maintained as long as the aligned document can be maintained in a state where the side of the front end portion is in contact with the document while falling (maintaining the state where the side is in contact).
- any angle can be employed (if the state can be maintained).
- the inclination may be 89 degrees, or may be 85 degrees or less when the surface finish has good slippage or when the document is stiff and the side is slidable.
- a document that is held by the reversing wheel 320 and is moving at high speed is pressed against the rotation restricting guide 345 and then descends along the surface thereof.
- the document can be lowered along the surface, and can be placed on the lifting tray 330 while maintaining the alignment state of the documents.
- an elastic material may be disposed in the middle portion and a person having a structure that absorbs the force applied to the surface may be used.
- a material having elasticity such as a sponge-like material or rubber may be disposed, and only the document contact surface may be configured by a metal plate or the like in which the smoothness of the surface shown below is ensured.
- the contact surface with the document is made of a polished metal plate or a metal plate and a tetrafluoroethylene plastic so that the surface of the rotation position regulation guide 345 is slippery when the document is lowered along the surface.
- the structure is a laminate of materials. As a result, the smoothness of the surface is ensured, and the effect of the frictional resistance when the document descends toward the lifting tray 330 without resistance has been successfully suppressed to a level that can be almost ignored.
- the present invention is not limited to the above example, and can be applied to any apparatus as long as it conveys a document and loads a predetermined number of documents together.
- the present invention can be applied to an apparatus that requires a function for transporting and stacking documents.
- a device that transports printed documents printed by the printing mechanism and sequentially stacks them on the printed document stacking unit or a multifunction device that prints the printing device and the reading device integrated, or transports and stacks the scanned documents It can be applied as it is.

Abstract
Description
更にまた、処理する帳票の大きさや厚さなどを予め制限することなしに混在した状態で搬送・処理することも求められているが、このような多種多様な書類を処理できる装置は、殆ど本願出願人の提供する書類処理装置に限られていた。
特に、多種多様な書類が混在する様な場合で、処理する帳票の大きさや厚さなどを予め制限することなしに混在した状態で搬送・処理すると、スタッカに搬送されてくる帳票などの大きさ、厚さが一定ではなく、スタッカに収納された帳票類も更に大きく前後左右にずれて積載されていた。
このような作業を大量のドキュメントに対して行う場合は、非常に大きな作業負荷となり、時には作業効率のネックになる場合もあった。
この一連の動作の中で、搬送されて処理された書類の順番を変えないで排紙部300に積層することが求められている。このためには、処理すべき書類(ドキュメント)を給紙部100から排紙部300の書類を保持する保持手段である昇降トレイ330に積載するまでの間に書類を反転させる機能が必要である。本実施の形態例では、書類反転手段である排紙部300の反転ホイール320において書類を反転させている。
例えば、昇降トレイ330上に書類の自重だけに頼らずに、書類を整列させるために、必要な2つの辺に積層する書類を押し当てる方向に力をかける構造を有する。
必ずしも必要な機構ではないが、(1)の構造で反転されて搬送されてくる書類の搬送を停止させる搬送規制板に、書類当接の衝撃を吸収し、反発力を軽減する構造を有する。
搬送規制板でそれ以上の搬送を停止させた書類の少なくとも前辺をホールド状態(当接状態)に保ちつつ降下させて積み上げる方向に力をかけガイドする構造を有する。
詳細を後述する反転ホイール320にホールドされている書類を反転ホイール320から離す際に、昇降トレイ330に積載された書類の上面と反転ホイール320から離れる際の書類との距離が一定となるようトレイの高さを制御する機構を有している。
先端部に向かって所定角度上流側に出ているが、本発明ではこの傾斜度などに限定されるものではなく、実機においても搬送する書類の仕様によって自由に角度を変更できる様に構成している。例えば、書類の腰が強く、書類サイズも小さい場合には、傾斜角度を大きくして良く、逆に書類の腰が弱い場合や書類のサイズが大きい場合には角度を小さくすることができる。本実施の形態例では仕様で定めた帳票や紙の種類に応じて回転力を適度に保つ観点から、直交する方向から約5度程度傾けて先端側が上流方向に出る様に位置決め配設している。
光学センサ215が書類を検出すると、搬送されてくる書類が上下ローラ360,370位置に到達した状態であり、上下ローラ360,370が書類を挟持して搬送ベルトによる搬送から上下ローラ360,370による反転ホイール320への搬送に切り換えられ、書類を反転ホイール320の爪の間に挟み込ませる。この状態が図3に「4枚目」として表示されている状態である。
