Abstract
A sheet stacking device is provided with a hopper unit configured to stack a sheet, a feeding unit configured to feed out the sheet to the hopper unit, a distance detection unit configured to detect an inter-sheet distance, in the vertical direction, between a rear end portion of the sheet that is preceding and a tip end portion of the sheet that is subsequent, and an output unit configured to output a behavior stabilization command for the sheet based on the inter-sheet distance.
Claims16
A sheet stacking device comprising:
- a hopper unit configured to stack a sheet;
- a feeding unit configured to feed out the sheet to the hopper unit;
- a distance detection unit configured to detect an inter-sheet distance, in a vertical direction, between a rear end portion of the sheet that is preceding and a tip end portion of the sheet that is subsequent;
- and
- an output unit configured to output, based on the inter-sheet distance, a behavior stabilization command for the sheet.
A sheet stacking method comprising:
- feeding out a sheet to a hopper unit;
- detecting a distance, in a vertical direction, between a rear end portion of the sheet and a tip end portion of the sheet that is subsequent;
- and
- outputting a behavior stabilization command for the sheet based on the distance in the vertical direction.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a sheet stacking program causing a computer to execute:
- processing for feeding out a sheet to a hopper unit;
- processing for detecting a distance, in a vertical direction, between a rear end portion of the sheet and a tip end portion of the sheet that is subsequent;
- and
- processing for outputting a behavior stabilization command for the sheet based on the distance in the vertical direction.
