Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a thin plate piece storage device for cards and the like that is neatly arranged in a storage box and is easily adjusted. According to the present invention, in a device for accommodating thin plate pieces such as cards by inserting and stacking thin plate pieces such as cards from below, a movable means is provided on a lower bottom plate of the thin plate piece accommodating portion for the card and the like. It is a thin plate piece storage device such as a card. Further, as an embodiment, the movable means is a thin plate storage device for a card or the like that is movable at a timing according to a detection signal obtained by a detection means for a thin plate piece such as a card, or a thin plate storage portion for the card or the like. The lower bottom plate is a thin plate piece storage device for cards and the like having a plurality of rollers.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage device for a sheet-fed printing machine for PET (polyethylene terephthalate) cards (railroad card, telephone card size) or a sheet-fed printing machine for vinyl chloride cards (credit card, etc.). Further, the material of the cards is not limited, and the invention can be applied to all cards such as paper.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional card storage device, the storage box is slightly tilted with respect to the card traveling surface as shown in FIG. 3, and when the card 4 transferred by the transfer roller 5 is stored, the card is stored previously. There are many formats that go under the card 8. However, with this method, when the number of stored cards 8 is small as shown in Fig. 4, the cards 4 that have entered the storage box push up the already stored cards 8 and may not be neatly arranged in the storage box. is there. For this reason, the transport speed is adjusted and the angle of the storage box with respect to the traveling surface is adjusted. These adjustments vary depending on the rigidity and size of the card and are difficult. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a weight is placed on the card 8 so that the card cannot be pushed up.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention provides a thin plate piece storage device for cards and the like, which solves the problems of not being neatly aligned in the storage box and being difficult to adjust as described above, and which is easily aligned and easily adjusted in the storage box. Is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a storage device for a thin plate piece such as a card in which a thin plate piece such as a card is inserted from below and aligned and stacked. In addition, it is a thin plate piece storage device such as a card provided with movable means.

As an embodiment, the movable means is a thin plate piece storage device for a card or the like that moves at a timing in accordance with a detection signal obtained by the detection means for a thin plate piece such as a card, or the card or the like. The thin plate piece storage device for a card or the like is characterized in that the lower bottom plate of the thin plate piece storage portion has a plurality of rollers.

As the movable means provided on the lower bottom plate of the thin plate piece storage portion such as the card, an existing method such as a crank mechanism, a cylinder mechanism or a solenoid can be used. That is, the card or the like may be inclined at the beginning when it enters the storage unit, then keep the horizontal state, and when the card is completely inserted, it may return to the initial inclined state.

As a detection means for timing the above movement, a micro switch may be provided on the immediately preceding roller pair, and the switch may be activated when the card passes therethrough to send a signal to the movable means for movement. It is also possible to provide a photoelectric switch immediately in front of the card and detect the passage of the card by blocking the light. Any other existing method may be used.

[0008]

[Action]

 The device for storing thin pieces of cards and the like of the present invention has a movable means provided on the lower bottom plate of the storing part, and when a card starts to be inserted, it changes from an oblique state to a horizontal state, so that the cards are smoothly and neatly arranged. To do. Further, it is more effective if the operation is performed by detecting the card entry timing by the detection means. Furthermore, by installing multiple rollers on the bottom plate of the storage part, it becomes possible to use various cards more smoothly.

[0009]

【Example】

 <Example 1> An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are explanatory views showing the operation of one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the card 4 transported by the transport roller 5 tries to enter between the bottom plate 6 having the roller and the already stored card 8. At this time, the passage of the card is detected by the photoelectric tube 7 (card detection means) immediately in front of the storage portion, the motor 9 is rotated at a timing, and the crankshaft 1 is moved through the gears 2 and 3 to Level the bottom plate 6 with the rollers. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a horizontal state. When the card has been stored, it stands by again in the state of FIG. 1 and waits for a signal from the photocell 7.

Although the above-described embodiment has been given as the most preferable example, the bottom plate of the storage unit 10 does not necessarily have to have a roller, and if the thin plate of the card or the like to be stored has rigidity, the thin plate of the card or the like may be used. It is sufficient that the bottom plate of the storage section is movable horizontally just before the storage of the. It is also preferable to have a card detecting means, but it is not necessary if the speed of the card flowing through the line and the rotation speed of the motor can be synchronized.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 The thin card storage device of the present invention can be used to adjust the angle of the storage box according to the rigidity, size, and transport speed of the conventional card, and to place a weight in the storage box to prevent the card from being exposed. There is no need for troublesome work such as pressing, and the rigidity of the card and the card transport speed are not affected. The card type and transport speed can be freely selected, and the cards can be neatly arranged and stored.
