Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Even if a paper jam occurs in the binding unit due to the disorder of the print bundle, the stacking operation in the stacking unit can be continued without delay and the production efficiency is improved. [Structure] An accumulating section A for accumulating a sashimi-like stencil from a rotary printing machine or a folding machine to form a swatch bundle, and a swatch bundle from the accumulating section A in a container. An insertion portion B and a binding portion C that binds the print bundle from the stacking portion A are provided, and the insertion portion B and the binding portion C are switchably arranged with respect to the stacking portion A. In normal times, the stack of printing sheets from the stacking unit A is sent to either the insertion unit B or the binding unit C, and in an emergency, the stacking operation in the stacking unit A is stopped by switching to the one not used in normal times. You can continue without.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printing book handling device used for bundling printing books continuously discharged from a rotary printing machine or a folding machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, the print sheets discharged from a rotary printing machine or a folding machine form a row of sashimi-like prints on a conveyor. And, it is necessary to stack and bundle the sashimi-like conveyed on the conveyor for convenience of transportation and handling in the post process. Alternatively, after dropping a predetermined number of copies by dropping them into a box-shaped space, the formed book bundles are bound.

[0003]

However, in the conventional method, there is a problem that when the paper is jammed in the binding process, it becomes impossible to collect the printed sheets in the stacking section, which is an obstacle to the production. Was becoming. In other words, since the print line is often disturbed during the transportation from the printing machine or folding machine to the stacking unit, when the print line is blocked and stacked, the horizontal displacement of the print line cannot be eliminated, and When the rows are dropped into a box-shaped space and stacked, the ends of the prints may cause the prints to rotate, and this kind of disorder of the prints may cause At that time, the binding operation sometimes stopped due to being caught by the guides.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a printed book handling apparatus capable of continuing a stacking operation without delay.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a printing book handling device of the present invention is a stacking unit for stacking printing books conveyed in a sashimi state by a carrying conveyor to form a printing book bundle. And a binding unit for binding the print bundle from the stacking unit in a container, and a binding unit for binding the print bundle from the stacking unit. The insertion unit and the binding unit are switchably arranged with respect to the stacking unit. It is characterized by being installed.

[0006]

In the printing book handling apparatus having the above-described structure, either one of the inserting section and the binding section normally operates to receive the printing book bundle from the stacking section, and in an emergency, of the insertion section and the binding section. Those who are not using it normally work.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a printed book handling apparatus according to the present invention.

In the figure, A is an accumulating portion, B is an inserting portion, and C.
Is a bundling unit, of which the stacking unit A is equipped with a stacking unit that stacks the sashimi-like printed sheets conveyed from a rotary printing machine or a folding machine by a conveyer conveyor to form a bundle of printed sheets.
Drop the book on a stacking table equipped with a transfer belt,
A bundle of printing sheets is formed between the support plate that moves backward on the collecting table together with the transfer belt. A container for accommodating the print bundle is appropriately set in the insertion portion B, and the print bundle transferred from the accumulating table by an appropriate transfer means such as a takeout hand is placed in the set container. Be accommodated. Also,
The binding portion C includes a known binding means for binding the bundle of print sheets, and binds the bundle of print sheets transferred from the stacking table by a transfer means common to the insertion portion B or a dedicated transfer means. .

In the above-described printing book handling device, the printing book bundle is normally transferred from the stacking section A to the binding section C in a normal state, but the printing book bundle is disturbed and is caught by the guides during binding. When the operation is stopped, the transfer of the subsequent print bundle is inserted into the insertion section B.
By switching to (1), the stacking operation in the stacking unit A is continued. In addition, it is also possible to use the transfer of the print bundle from the stacking section A to the insertion section B at a normal time. In this case, a large disturbance of the print stack that cannot be accommodated in the container is detected in advance, and the stack of the print bundle from the stacking section A is By switching the transfer of the print bundle to the binding portion C, it is possible to avoid troubles when the container is accommodated.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the insertion portion B or the binding portion C is prioritized, and the stacking portion A is
A dedicated transfer means is used to transfer the print bundle to the insertion section B or the binding section C adjacent to the next binding section C, and the next binding section C (FIG. 2) is taken over by another transfer section. Insert B (Fig. 3)
It has been transferred to.

[0012]

As described above, according to the printing book handling apparatus of the present invention, the printing book bundle from the stacking section is sent to either the insertion section or the binding section in the normal state, and in the normal case in an emergency. By switching to the one that is not used, the stacking operation in the stacking unit can be continued without stopping, and thus the production efficiency can be improved.
