[0046]
Here, the stacking and conveying apparatus 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.
[0047]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the stacking and conveying apparatus 50 includes a frame 60 assembled in a rectangular box shape. As shown in FIG. 4, a stacking unit 52 and a transporting unit 54 are formed on the upper portion of the frame 60 (upper side in the drawing of FIG. 4).
[0048]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the stacking unit 52 is formed with trays 62 corresponding to the number of papers 12 produced in parallel by the cutting device 20 (not shown in FIG. 5). Further, as shown in FIG. 7, guide grooves 64 are formed in the transport unit 54 in accordance with the respective trays 62. Note that the basic configuration of the tray 62 and the guide groove 64 is the same, and a set of the guide portion 62 and the guide groove 64 will be mainly described below.
[0049]
As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7, guide plates 66 and 68 are arranged on the tray 62 in pairs along the width direction of the paper 12 with a predetermined interval, and brackets 70 (FIGS. 5) and attached to the frame 60. The paper 12 is supported across the guide plates 66 and 68 by dropping onto the tray 62.
[0050]
As shown in FIG. 4, each of the guide plates 66 and 68 is inclined so that the conveying portion 54 side is lowered, and between the guide plates 66 and 68, the guide plate 66 side is low as shown in FIG. It is inclined so as to be substantially parallel.
[0051]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, a standing wall 72 is provided between the guide plate 66 and the guide plate 68 on the tray 62 side adjacent to the guide plate 66.
[0052]
As a result, when the paper 12 is supported by the guide plates 66 and 68, the paper 12 is inclined so that one end side in the width direction is the lowest on the conveyance unit 54 side. At this time, the one end side in the width direction of the paper 12 abuts against the standing wall 72, so that the paper 12 is aligned in the width direction. At the same time, the paper 12 is prevented from overlapping with the paper 12 adjacent in the width direction.
[0053]
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the stacking unit 52 is provided with a stopper 74 as a stop plate above the tray 62. As shown in FIG. 5, the stopper 74 is formed in a substantially band plate shape, and the conveying portion of the guide plates 66 and 68 is arranged such that the width direction is substantially along the vertical direction and the longitudinal direction is along the width direction of the paper 12. It is arranged to face a predetermined position on the 54 (front side of FIG. 5) side.
[0054]
The stopper 74 is formed with a notch 76 at the end in the width direction facing the tray 62 so as to follow the inclination of the upper surface of the guide plates 66 and 68, thereby forming a substantially saw-tooth shape. .
[0055]

[0058]
As a result, when the rod 82A of the air cylinder 82 expands and contracts, the stopper 74 moves in a substantially vertical direction that is a contact / separation direction with respect to the upper surfaces of the guide plates 66 and 68 according to the expansion and contraction of the rod 82A.
[0059]
Here, in a state in which the rod 80A of the air cylinder 80 is contracted, the stopper 74 is moved above the tray 62 (guide plates 66 and 68), whereby the tray 62 continues to the guide groove 64, The paper 12 falling on the guide plates 66 and 68 can move toward the guide groove 64.
[0060]
The stopper 74 moves downward by extending the rod 82 </ b> A of the air cylinder 82, approaches the upper surfaces of the guide plates 66 and 68, and separates the tray 62 and the guide groove 64. As a result, the paper 12 that falls onto the tray 62 and hangs around the guide plates 66 and 68 is prevented from moving downward by the front end of the paper 12 coming into contact with the stopper 72.
[0061]
In the stacking unit 52, the stoppers 74 are moved down to stack the papers 12. At this time, the front ends of the papers 12 in the longitudinal direction come into contact with the stoppers 74 so that the papers 12 are aligned substantially uniformly. That is, in the tray 62 formed in the stacking unit 52, one end side in the width direction of the paper 12 is brought into contact with the standing wall 72, and one end side in the longitudinal direction of the paper 12 is brought into contact with the stopper 74. These are accumulated while aligning the longitudinal direction and the width direction of each. Further, the paper 12 accumulated in the tray 62 can be dropped toward the guide groove 64 along the inclination of the guide plates 66 and 68 when the stopper 74 rises.

It is more gentle on the plates 66 and 68 side (tray 62 side), so that when the paper 12 slides down from the tray 62, it stops when the paper 12 reaches the guide portions 90 and 92 side. I have to.
[0067]
Further, the upper surface side of the guide portions 90 and 92 is horizontal at substantially the same height on the alignment conveyor 56 side, but in the intermediate portion along the longitudinal direction of the paper 12, the guide portion 92 side is more than the guide portion 90 side. In this portion, the line connecting the upper surfaces is inclined so as to be linear.
[0068]
That is, the upper surfaces of the guide portions 90 and 92 are inclined on the tray 62 side in accordance with the upper surfaces of the guide plates 66 and 68, but this inclination is gradually relaxed toward the alignment conveyor 56 side, and the alignment conveyor It is horizontal in the vicinity of 56.
[0069]
Further, the interval between the side walls 94 of the guide member 88, which is the width of the guide groove 64, is gradually widened in accordance with the return of the inclination along the width direction of the upper surfaces of the guide portions 90 and 92, so At the end, it is wider than the width dimension of the paper 12 to be accumulated.
[0070]
As a result, the bundle 12A of the predetermined number of papers 12 accumulated in the tray 62 is moved from the tray 62 to the alignment conveyor 56 side in the guide grooves 64, so that the inclination of the paper 12 along the width direction gradually increases. Returned.
[0071]
At this time, since the side wall 94 is formed in the guide member 88, the shift along the width direction of the paper 12 is prevented.
[0072]
On the other hand, between the tray 62 and the guide groove 64, the guide plate 66 and the guide plate 68 of the tray 62 are separated from each other, and the guide portions 90 and 92 forming the guide groove 64 are separated. A groove 96 that is linear along the longitudinal direction is formed.
