Abstract
A paper sorting device includes: a stacking conveyor that receives continuously fed cut sheets to stack the cut sheets by sorting unit and that continuously conveys stacked cut sheets downstream on a unit-by-unit basis; and a stacker section arranged downstream of the stacking conveyor, capable of continuously stacking the stacked cut sheets conveyed from the stacking conveyor, at different positions on a placement surface.
Claims18
A paper sorting device comprising:
- a stacking conveyor including
- a first placement section receiving continuously fed cut sheets to stack the cut sheets by a sorting unit, wherein stacked cut sheets are placed on the first placement section, and
- a first drive section continuously conveying the stacked cut sheets placed on the first placement section downstream on a unit-by-unit basis along the first placement section;
- a stacker section including
- a second placement section arranged downstream of the stacking conveyor, on which the stacked cut sheets conveyed from the stacking conveyor are placed, and
- a second drive section continuously conveying the stacked cut sheets placed on the second placement section downstream along the second placement section;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first drive section and the second drive section such that precedingly conveyed stacked cut sheets and succeeding stacked cut sheets among plural units of the stacked cut sheets conveyed to the stacker section by the stacking conveyor are placed, with a predetermined gap formed therebetween, at different positions on the second placement section,
- wherein in the stacking conveyor, the first placement section includes conveyance rollers that are a plurality of rotating rollers on which the stacked cut sheets are stacked, and the first drive section is a motor driving the conveyance rollers, and
- wherein the stacking conveyor comprises side guides that, during stacking continuously ejected cut sheets, restrict the cut sheets in a paper conveyance width direction, the side guides each having a side wall with notches each receiving a corresponding one of the plurality of rollers so that their respective setting positions in the paper conveyance width direction are adjustable through the notches.
