BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a print photo and film storage sheet collecting device used in an automatic print photo bagging system, and more specifically, it automatically inserts a print photo and a negative film sheet into a print bag. The present invention relates to a collecting device for.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a DP reception shop accepts the simultaneous printing of a photographed photo film, it fills in a predetermined item on a DP bag, puts a patrone in the DP bag, and hands it to a large-scale development laboratory. At this large-scale photo lab, the cartridge is taken out from the DP bag, and then the exposed photographic film is taken out from the cartridge. These photographic films are spliced together to form a long film. This long film is developed by a film processor, and then a film inspection by a skilled operator is performed. In this film test, a notch is formed on a frame to be printed, and an exposure correction amount for obtaining an appropriate printed photograph is determined.

Next, the long film is set in an automatic photo printer. The notched frame is printed and exposed on a paper (photographic printing paper) in consideration of the exposure correction amount designated at the film certification. The exposed paper is developed by a paper processor, and then the print inspection is performed with the paper being long. In this print test, re-printing prints that give good results by performing re-printing with different exposures have re-burning marks consisting of, for example, one diagonal line, and uncorrectable unnecessary images such as shooting failures. On the print photograph, an unnecessary mark composed of, for example, two diagonal lines is written on the image with a felt pen or the like.

The roll paper, which has been subjected to the print verification, is loaded into a cutter / sorter, and is cut into each frame here, and is also grouped into one for each case. In this cutter / sorter, a reprint mark or unnecessary mark is detected by a sensor, and based on this mark, one print photograph is sorted into a pass print photograph, a reprint print photograph, and an unnecessary print photograph. The unnecessary print photographs are put in a waste box, and the pass print photographs and the reprint print photographs are discharged to two trays that are inclined. In addition, depending on the width of the paper set in the photo printer, 82.5 × 1 is included in one print photograph.
Besides the E size of 17 mm and the L size of 89 × 127 mm, there is a panoramic size having a length twice as large as these sizes.

On the other hand, the long film which has undergone the printing process is cut into a predetermined number of frames in one photographic film,
The obtained film piece is inserted into the film storage sheet. The operator manually takes out the pass print photograph and the reprint print photograph discharged to each tray and superimposes them. Next, the printed prints that have been put together are collated with the photo film in the film storage sheet, and these are put in a print bag. At this time, advertisement leaflets that print various print services are also put in the print bag together. After inserting this print bag into the original DP bag, only the print photos that have passed are sent to the shipping process. And
Those containing a reprint print photograph are sent to the reprint print step.

[0006]

In the printing system currently in operation, the sorting of print photographs is automated, but the work thereafter is performed manually. Therefore, it requires a considerable amount of manpower to insert a print photograph, a leaflet or the like into a print bag, or to insert the print bag into a DP bag.

Further, an automatic bagging system for printed photographs is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 56-768, 56-35862, 4-70832, and 4-76542.
It is described in Japanese Patent Publication No. These publications describe a device for automatically inserting a leaflet, a print photograph, a film storage sheet, or the like into a print bag, a DP bag, or the like. However, in these devices, a print photograph, a leaflet, a film storage sheet, and the like are separately inserted, so that an insertion operation is required each time, which leads to a decrease in the overall processing speed, and an insertion device is required for each, so Will not be able to be compacted.

Therefore, it may be considered that these are collected for each case and are collectively inserted into the print bag. However, in order to put this batch insertion into practical use, it is necessary to put a print photograph on the film storage sheet while holding the film storage sheet in order to prevent the film storage sheet from being bent when accumulated. Further, if the film storage sheet and the print photograph are not collected in a state where the centers thereof are aligned with each other, the sandwiching balance may be lost when they are inserted into the print bag, and it may not be successful. Therefore, it is necessary to align these centers. Further, even when the print size changes, it is necessary to stack the film storage sheet and the print bag so that the centers thereof are aligned with each other.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to automatically stack at least a print photograph and a film storage sheet by stacking them.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 has at least a collecting portion for accumulating a film storage sheet and a print photograph, and a film storage sheet from a discharge position thereof. A horizontal passage for transferring to the collecting portion, a sheet feeding member that reciprocates along the passage to send the film storage sheet to the collection box, a position for pressing the film storage sheet in the collection box from above, The sheet pressing member that is movable between the retracted position and the reciprocating position along the moving path of the sheet feeding member, and the sheet storage member that is provided at the tip of the sheet pressing member and is stored at the pressing position. The sheet feeding member feeds the film storage sheet to the collecting section by the stopper that hits the edge of the print photograph placed on the sheet and aligns this edge. In this state, in order to align the center of the printed photograph with the center of the film storage sheet, a means for moving the sheet pressing member according to the print size to position the stopper, and a sheet feeding member for transferring the film storage sheet to the collecting portion. Interlocking that moves the sheet pressing member to the retracted position when it is fed out, and moves the sheet pressing member to the holding position when the sheet feeding member is returned to the discharge position side of the film storage sheet. And means.

The folded film storage sheet is discharged from the film storage sheet folding device onto the passage of the film storage sheet. The sheet feeding member advances on the passage and feeds the film storage sheet to the collecting portion. When the sheet feeding member feeds the film storage sheet to the collecting portion, the sheet pressing member advances into the collecting portion. In this state, the sheet pressing member is retracted upward by the interlocking device. After this, when the sheet feeding member retracts after the leaflet is conveyed onto the film storage sheet as needed, the sheet holding member is moved from the retracted state to the holding state by the interlocking means, and the film storage sheet (the leaflet is inserted. If it does, press the film storage sheet and leaflet from above. Further, the stopper is stopped at a position where the center of the print photograph and the center of the film storage sheet are aligned with each other. In this state, the print photograph nipped by the clamper and transferred is placed on the film storage sheet. At this time, the edge of the printed photograph hits the stopper, and the edge is aligned and aligned. After that, the sheet pressing member returns to the retracted position, and the accumulated film storage sheet and the print photograph are sandwiched by another clamper and are collectively inserted into the print bag.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the interlocking device is provided with a moving cam provided on the sheet feeding member side, a fixed cam provided along the moving path of the sheet pressing member, and a cam follower attached to the sheet pressing member. The moving cam is provided with a lift portion that shifts the cam follower upward and moves the sheet holding member to the retracted position at a position where the sheet feeding member discharges the film storage sheet to the collecting portion,
The fixed cam is a non-lifting part that shifts the cam follower downward to hold the sheet holding member in the holding position when the sheet holding member enters the collecting portion, and a state where the sheet holding member comes out of the collecting portion. Since the cam follower is moved upward and the lift portion for moving the sheet holding member to the upper position is retracted, the sheet holding member can be moved up and down in conjunction with the sheet feeding member to hold the film storage sheet. .

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an automatic bagging system for printed photographs using the collecting apparatus of the present invention. The paper cutter 10 pulls out the certified paper 11a from the roll paper 11 and conveys it toward the cutting position. During this conveyance, the cut mark sensor detects a cut mark formed of a small hole formed in the side edge portion of the paper 11a. The cutter is operated based on the detection signal of the cut mark to cut the paper 11a and separate it as one print photograph 12. Further, the paper cutter 10 is provided with a sort mark sensor, detects the sort mark indicating the division of each case, and temporarily suspends the cutting operation based on this to sort each print photograph 12 for each case.

The finished state of each print photograph of the paper 11a is previously verified in the print verification process. In this print test, the pass print photograph with a good finish remains as it is, but if the exposure amount is corrected and the finish is good, for example, the re-baking mark 13 consisting of one diagonal line is an image of the print photograph. It is written on the surface. Further, if the exposure amount is not corrected, the finish is not good, for example, in a defocused print photograph, an unnecessary mark 14 composed of two diagonal lines is written.

The print photo sorting device 17 detects the re-baking mark 13 or the unnecessary mark 14, and based on this, operates each branch guide arranged in the middle of the transport path to change the transport destination of the print photo 12. Thus, the reprint print photograph 12a, the pass print photograph 12b, and the unnecessary print photograph 12c are sorted. The reprinted and passed print photographs 15a and 15b are separately collected.
After sorting one print photo, the integrated print photos 18a and 18b are sent to an elevator 19, and the elevator 19 prints one reprint integrated print photo 18a.
And the passed integrated print photograph 18b are superimposed.
The unnecessary print photograph 12c is sent to the waste box by the branch guide.

The two leaflet hoppers 20a and 20b are respectively set with leaflets 21a and 21b on which advertisements and notices of print services are printed. The leaflet hoppers 20a and 20b are the leaflet carrier device 22.
Is attached to. The leaflets 21a, 21b are taken out one by one from each of the leaflet hoppers 20a, 20b, sent to the merged conveyance path through the individual conveyance paths, and stacked at a standby position near the entrance. The two types of leaflets 21 thus stacked are conveyed to the collecting device 23 of the present invention by the leaflet conveying device 22 in which a plurality of belt pairs and roller pairs are arranged.

The film storage sheet folding device 25 pulls out the film storage sheet 26a from the roll 26, and folds the film storage sheet 26a separately from the perforations made at the boundaries of each case. The folded film storage sheet 24 for one case is assembled by a pressing plate that slides on a guide.

After inserting the stack into the print bag, the print bag 28 is inserted into the holder 27d. As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 27d is provided with a sandwiching plate 27h for sandwiching or opening the print bag 28. The holder 27d rotates the print bag 28 by 90 degrees so that the flap 28a faces upward, and at that time, the folding stay 2 is rotated.
Since the flap 28a moves while rubbing at 7f, the flap 28a is bent 90 degrees and temporarily folded. Next, the holder 27d is raised by the stand 27g so that one side edge of the print bag 28 faces upward. At that time, since the flap 28a moves while rubbing the folding stay 27f, the flap 28a is further bent 90 degrees to close the bag portion. When the stand 27g is raised, the holding of the holder 27d is released, so that the print bag 28 falls by its own weight and is dropped vertically into the DP bag with its mouth open and waiting.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stocker 33 has
A large number of DP bags 30 are set vertically. The ID number of the DP bag 30 located at the front of these is read by the barcode reader 31. After reading the ID number, the DP bag 30 is extracted from the stocker 33 and sent to the charge printing position. The print fee is calculated based on the total number of the accepted print photographs 12b and the reprint print photographs 12a, and further the number of print photographs to be produced in a special size printing process such as panorama size. The development fee is calculated from the number of frames that can be taken by the photographic film. These charges and the total thereof are printed on the DP bag 30 by the printer 34 arranged at the charge printing position.

The DP bag 30 for which the fee printing has been completed is sent to the insertion position, and is waited with the mouth opened by the two sets of suction pads, and the print bag 28 is dropped in as described above. The DP bag 30 containing this print bag 28 is

Further, the DP bag 30c in which the photographic film including the special-sized frame is stored is dropped into the tray 41 while being laid sideways. The DP bag 30c is also properly taken out and sent to the special size printing process.

Next, the assembling device 23 used in the print photograph loading system will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the collecting device is roughly divided into a collecting box 50,
The film storage sheet 24 includes a conveyance guide 51, a sheet feeding plate 52, and a sheet pressing plate 53.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a collection box 50
In the figure, the film storage sheet 24, the leaflet 21, and the two stacking units 55 and 56 for stacking the print photographs 18 are attached to the horizontal axis 57 at point symmetrical positions. Each stacking portion 55, 56 has a pair of stacking receiving plates 55a, 55b, 56a, 56b formed by bending in a U-shape to form a horizontal shaft 57.
And a space 58 is formed at a central portion thereof. Gap 58 is clamper 27
This is for allowing a to pass through the inside of the collecting box 50. In this state, when the film storage sheets 24 or the like are inserted for stacking, the film storage sheets 24 will fall out or be locked in the gap 58, so that the guide receiving plate 60 moves in the moving direction of the clamper 27a. It is movably installed. The clamper 27a is provided with sandwiching plates 59a and 59b.
Sandwich it from above and below and insert it into the print bag.

The horizontal shaft 57 is rotated intermittently by 180 degrees by a motor (not shown). By reversing the horizontal shaft 57, a film storage sheet, a leaflet, a leaf accommodating sheet in the upper stacking portion 55.
The aggregate 61 on which print photographs are accumulated can be transferred to the lower accumulating portion 56. It should be noted that during this 180-degree intermittent rotation, the clamper 27a and the guide receiving plate 60 are retracted rearward so as not to hinder the rotation.

The transport guide 51 is long and horizontally provided in the axial direction of the horizontal shaft 57. The transport guide 51 is a horizontal plate 5.
Side plates 51b and 51c are provided on both side edges of 1a, and a bottom plate 70 is attached to the horizontal plate 51a. The bottom plate 70 is formed to be narrower than the width of the horizontal plate 51a, and the gaps 71 and 72 are formed between the bottom plate 70 and the side plates 51b and 51c.
Are formed.

The feed plate 52 reciprocates in the conveyance guide 51 to feed the film storage sheet 24 into the collecting box 50, and is formed by bending the horizontal plate 52a and the vertical plate 52b into an L shape. There is. And the horizontal plate 52
A push plate 75 is formed by bending downward at the tip of a. Protrusions 76 that enter the gaps 71 and 72 of the transport guide 51 are formed on both sides of the lower end of the push plate 75. The protrusions 76 contact the edges of the film storage sheet 24 placed on the bottom plate 70 and the thin film storage sheet 24. Is reliably sent to the collecting box 50 side. The lower portion of the vertical plate 52b is fixed to the endless belt 78 via a mounting bracket 77. The endless belt 78 is wound around the timing pulleys 79 and 80 along the conveyance guide 51, and is normally and reversely rotated by the motor 81. In addition, the vertical plate 52b,
A moving cam 82 is fixed in the vertical direction, and this moving cam 82 engages with a cam follower 83 described later.

The sheet pressing plate 53 is rotatably attached to the endless belt 86 via the attachment shaft 85. The sheet pressing plate 53 is formed in an L-shape as a whole by an arm 53a and a pressing body 53b.
The letter-shaped stopper 87 is formed by bending.
When the pressing plate 53 moves into the collecting box and presses the film storage sheet 24, the stopper 87 aligns with the edge of the print photograph sent next. Therefore, the contact plate 87a of the stopper 87 is at an angle that is perpendicular to the surface of the film storage sheet 24 when the pressing plate 53 is in the position of pressing the film storage sheet 24. The edges of 18 are aligned.

The endless belt 86 is horizontally arranged along the conveyance guide 51 near the collecting box 50, and the timing pulley 88,
It is wound around 89 and is normally and reversely rotated by a motor 90. The endless belt 86 is provided with a plurality of position marks, which are mark sensors (both not shown).
And the stop position of the endless belt is determined by this detection timing. Thereby, the stopper 87 of the pressing plate 53 can be positioned in the collecting box 50 according to the print size.

In the middle of the arm 53a of the pressing plate 53,
A bracket portion 91 bent at 90 degrees is formed, and a cam follower 83 is rotatably attached to the bracket portion 91. This cam follower 83
Engages with the fixed cam 93 in addition to engaging with the moving cam 82 of the sheet feed plate 52.

The fixed cam 93 is horizontally provided between the endless belt 86 and the conveyance guide 51, and is composed of a lift portion 93a and a non-lift portion 93b as shown in FIG. 4 (A). . Cam follower 83 on the lift section 93a
Is located, as shown in FIGS. 4 (A) and 4 (B),
The stopper 87 is located at a position retracted upward, so that when the feed plate 52 advances in the conveyance guide 51, the stopper 87 does not hit the feed plate 52 and interfere with it.

As shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, when the sheet feeding plate 52 approaches the collecting box 50 and the sheet pressing plate 53 moves forward, the cam follower 83 causes the sheet feeding plate 52 to move. Lift part 82 of moving cam 82
Since it is located at a, the stopper 86 is also set to a position retracted upward, and in this state, the sheet pressing plate 53
Does not move downward and hold down the film storage sheet 24.

When the sheet feeding plate 52 moves backward from the state shown in FIG. 4C, the moving cam 82 attached integrally with the sheet feeding plate 52 also moves backward, and as shown in FIG. Since it is located at the non-lift portion 93b of the fixed cam 93, the pressing plate 53 rotates downward by its own weight, and the stopper 87 presses the film storage sheet 24 and the leaflet 21. Further, when the sheet pressing plate 53 is retracted from this state, the cam follower 83 shifts from the non-lifting portion 93b to the lifting portion 93a, so that the sheet pressing plate 53 is rotated upward and is in the retracted state.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the power of the apparatus is turned on, initialization is performed, and first, the clamper 27a is advanced slightly from the retracted retracted position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the guide receiving plate 60 also advances by the bias of the coil spring (not shown) to close the gap 58 of the upper stacking portion 55. As a result, the upper stacking unit 55 enters a stacking standby state.

In this state, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the film storage sheet 24 is discharged to the transport guide 51 by the film storage sheet folding device. After this discharge,
The motor 81 rotates in the forward direction and the sheet feed plate 52 advances toward the collecting box 50 side. By this forward movement, the edge of the film storage sheet 24 is pushed by the push plate 75, and the state shown in FIGS. 4A to 4B is obtained, and the film storage sheet 24 is sent to the collecting box 50. When the feed plate 52 moves forward, the endless belt 86 is set to the initial position and the pressing plate 53
Is at the rear stroke end, so the fixed cam 93
The cam follower 83 is lifted upward by the lift portion 93a, and the stopper 87 of the pressing plate 53 is retracted upward from the movement path of the sheet feeding plate 52. For this reason,
The pressing plate 53 does not interfere with the feed plate 52, and
As shown in (B), the film storage sheet 24 is placed on the upper stacking section 56 of the collecting box 50 by the feed plate 52.
Next, the leaflet 21 is supplied from behind and placed on the film storage sheet 24 with the centers thereof aligned.

Next, as shown in FIG.
0 (see FIG. 1) rotates to position the sheet pressing plate 53 at a predetermined stop position corresponding to the print size. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5D, the sheet feed motor 81
(See FIG. 1) reverses and the sheet feeding plate 52 is retracted to the initial position. Since the moving cam 82 also moves backward by this backward movement, as shown in FIG.
Shifts downward, so that the pressing plate 53 presses the film storage sheet 24. In this state, the clamper 95 sends the print photograph 18 to the upper stacking unit 55. At this time, since the stopper 87a of the sheet pressing plate 53 is positioned at a position corresponding to the size of the print photograph, when the edge of the print photograph 18 hits the stopper 87 and is positioned, the print photograph 18 and the film storage sheet 24 are positioned. They are collected in a state where the centers of and match.

Next, a motor 90 for moving the sheet pressing plate
Is reversed, the sheet pressing plate 53 is retracted and returned to the initial position. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5F, since the cam follower 83 is displaced upward by the lift portion 93a of the fixed cam 93, the stopper 87 retreats upward from the moving passage of the sheet feeding plate 52. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the horizontal axis 57 of the collecting box 50 is rotated 180 degrees,
The stack 61 is transferred to the lower stacking unit 56. Also, due to this rotation, the empty lower stacking unit 56 shifts upward, and the stack 61 waits. The clamper 27a enters the lower stacking unit 56 and holds the stack 61 from above and below. Then, the clamper 27a advances to the holder 27d side. A pedestal 27b is provided in the middle of the moving route, and the print bag 28 is set on the pedestal 27b so as to obliquely intersect the moving route. The print bag 28 is opened in a horizontal state by the wing guide plate 27c which rotates in association with the movement of the clamper 27a. The clamper 27a is inserted into the bag portion, and the print bag 28 is inserted into the holder 27d that stands by in the horizontal state in this state. After insertion, the retaining pin 27e stands in front of the holder 27d. After that, the clamper 27a retracts and returns to the initial position. At this time, the retaining pin 27e prevents the aggregate 61 from coming out of the print bag 28 as the clamper 27a retracts. Hereafter, by repeating the same process, the collection box 5
The film storage sheet 24, the leaflet 21, and the print photograph 18 are accumulated in the upper accumulation section 55 of 0.

In the above embodiment, the sheet feeding plate 52
Although the sheet pressing plate 53 is reciprocally moved by the rotation of the endless belts 78 and 86, it may be moved by a reciprocating means such as a link or a cylinder.

As described above, according to the present invention,
The film storage sheet is transferred from the discharge position to the collecting section by the sheet feeding member, and the film storage sheet sent to the collecting section is pressed by the sheet pressing member, so when the print photograph is placed on the film storage sheet, the thin film storage sheet is stored. The seat will not turn over. This allows
It is possible to prevent the film storage sheet from being bent. In addition, a stopper for aligning the edges of the print photograph is provided at the tip of the sheet pressing member, and the stop position is changed according to the size of the print photograph. Even if it changes, the center of the print photo and the film storage sheet can be aligned. As a result, in the next step of inserting the stack into the print bag, the stack can be sandwiched in a well-balanced manner, and even if the stack is long like a film storage sheet, it must be inserted into the print bag securely. You can

The interlocking means is composed of a moving cam provided on the sheet feeding member side, a fixed cam provided along the moving path of the sheet pressing member, and a cam follower attached to the sheet pressing member. Since the sheet holding member is at the position retracted from the collecting portion, the cam follower is moved upward so that the sheet holding member is moved to the retracted position.Therefore, when the film storage sheet is fed out, the sheet holding member is pressed. The member is set to the retracted position and does not interfere with the sheet feeding member. Furthermore,
The fixed cam is provided with a non-lift portion that shifts the cam follower downward to bring the sheet pressing member into the pressing position when the sheet pressing member enters the collecting portion and is in the pressing position, and the moving cam has a sheet feeding member. At the position where the film storage sheet is discharged to the collecting section, a lift section for moving the cam follower upward and rotating the sheet pressing member upward is provided, so that the sheet pressing member is used when the film storing sheet is fed by the sheet feeding member. The retracted position can be rotated upward. Moreover, when the sheet feeding member returns to the initial position after feeding the film storage sheet, the moving cam also returns to the initial position, so that the cam follower shifts downward and the pressing member automatically descends on the film storage sheet. . As a result, it is not necessary to press the sheet pressing member with special driving means, and the structure can be simplified.
