[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, the cut card discharged from the discharge port of the card cutting device is stored by arranging a card receiving box below the discharge port, in which the cut card is directly dropped from the discharge port.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with such a storage method, the card may be reversed in the middle of dropping, or may be reversed due to static electricity, and the cards are scattered in the card receiving box and cannot be stored neatly.

In order to prevent this reversal, it is conceivable to arrange the card receiving box close to the discharge port, but this can store only a small number of cards, which is not practical.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a card cradle between the card ejection box and the card ejection box when the card ejected from the card ejection apparatus is dropped and stored in the card box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a card receiving mechanism for a card discharged from a card cutting device, which prevents the card from being turned over so that the card can be housed neatly in a box and which has the drawbacks of the conventional technique.

[0021]

[Action]

 First, the card cutting device of FIG. 1 is operated as follows. First, the motor 13 is operated to rotate the pulley 14, the second transport roller 20 and the paper discharge roller 23 of the cutting unit 19, and further the exhaust fan 9 is operated. Then, the stepping motor 15 is operated to rotate the belt conveyor 2 and the first conveying roller 17. By the rotation of the belt conveyor 2, the lowermost sheet 10 of the sheet pile 4 contained in the feed 1 is brought into close contact with the sheet platform 3, and is conveyed through the sheet discharge port 6 and the first conveying roller 17. When the paper 10 reaches the first sensor 18, the first sensor 18 detects the leading edge of the paper 10 and the cutting mark. When the first sensor 18 detects the cutting mark, the belt conveyor 2 conveys the sheet 10 by 18.5 mm (this length is freely adjusted) and stops. The first transport roller 17 also stops at the same time. Next, the solenoid of the cutting unit 19 is operated to rotate the rotary blade 26 once, and the margin of the paper is cut 2 mm after the cutting mark (in the case of the standard setting). The cut chips fall into the lower chip receiving box 24.

When the leading edge of the paper 10 passes through the cutting unit 19 and the second transport roller 20 and reaches the gauge sensor 21, this leading edge is detected by the gauge sensor 21, and as a result, the hip-up solenoid 11 is first activated to push up. Operate the rod 12 and push up the paper pile 4 on the belt conveyor 2. At this time, since the end of the sheet 10 has passed the push-up rod 12, a gap is created between the sheet 10 and the sheet pile 4 to prevent friction between them. When the leading edge of the sheet 10 reaches just before the second conveying roller 20 (that is, when the stepping motor 15 rotates 100 pulses after cutting the margin), the gauge solenoid is activated and the gauge 22 is closed in advance. When the leading edge of the paper 10 from which the margin has been cut off comes into contact with the gauge 22, the conveyance of the paper 10 is stopped, resistance is generated in the second conveyance roller 20, and the sliding clutch provided on this roller shaft works to perform the second conveyance. The rotation of the roller 20 stops.

Further, when the gauge sensor 21 detects the leading edge of the paper, the stepping motor 15 stops. After the sheet 10 has entered the second transport roller 20, the second transport roller 20 pulls the sheet 10. Therefore, after the stepping motor 15 is stopped, the first carrying roller 17 is rotated by the paper 10 pulled by the second carrying roller 20 by the one-way clutch provided on its shaft. The gauge sensor 21 detects the leading edge of the paper 10, and (20m / sec after detection, the leading edge of the paper hits the gauge) .The solenoid of the cutting unit 19 is activated to rotate the rotary blade once, and Cut at 55mm. The sheet 10 is supported by the guide plates 28 and 29 from both sides and hits the gauge 22 to stop.

When the cutting is completed, the gauge solenoid is turned off and the gauge 22 is opened. When the gauge 22 opens, the resistance applied to the second transport roller 20 disappears, the second transport roller 20 resumes rotation, and the cut card is sent forward. The card reaches the paper ejection roller 23 and is ejected to the card receiving mechanism A by the paper ejection roller 23.

The operation of the card receiving mechanism according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. A plurality of desired cards 36 ejected from the ejection opening 23 of the card cutting device of FIG. 1 are placed across the facing horizontal pieces 33, 33 of the card holder X. Thereafter, the actuating solenoid 38 is actuated to open the L-shaped member 34 connected thereto to the outside around the shafts 41, 41, and at the same time the actuating rod 42 is actuated to open the other L-shaped member 34 to the outside (Fig. 4). The above-mentioned plurality of placed cards 36 fall into the card receiving box 37.

At this time, the cards 36 are once placed on the horizontal pieces 33, 33 and, for example, 50 cards are collectively dropped into the card receiving box, so that reversal when dropping one by one is prevented. Moreover, since the horizontal pieces 33, 33 are arranged at a distance shorter than the card length in the discharging direction from the discharge port 23, even when the horizontal pieces 33, 33 are dropped one by one, the cards are prevented from being reversed.

[0027]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the card receiving mechanism of the present invention provides the card receiving stand between the card outlet and the card receiving box when the card ejected from the card cutting device is dropped and stored in the card receiving box. Since the card is once placed on it and then dropped into the card receiving box, it is possible to prevent the card from being turned over, so that the card can be stored neatly in the box.
