Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  This invention relates to a returned magazine sorter.

[0002]

[Prior art]

  Magazines are generally sold by consignment sales. That is, the magazine is a publisher To a bookstore through a sales company, and the bookstore sells for a specified period of time Within the deadline, the sales company will attach a slip and return the product. Seller returns The published magazines are grouped into publishers according to the number of issues and bound together. Give a slip to a papermaker who is a maker. The late papermaker uses the magazines it receives to make paper It is sold to the user and the processing is completed. However, the seller returns All the work of sorting magazines is done manually, and an extremely large number of workers Required and expensive, and the workers are often part-time or part-time jobs. It was easy to make a mistake in sorting.

[0003]   In addition, a wide variety of publications have not been coded individually, for example O A code display consisting of Roman letters and numbers called CR-B font is often used. The bar code is now displayed to some extent, which is convenient for distribution processing. It's coming.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  This device automatically reads the code part of the returned magazine with the code displayed. Processing, significantly reducing the number of workers, reducing costs, and achieving accurate processing. It provides a return magazine sorting device.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The idea is to have an appropriate number of conveyors arranged in series to transport returned magazines. And read the code part consisting of the symbols etc. written on the magazine sent by this conveyor. A reader for reading and a computer for inputting the reading information read by the reader. This computer is a target for counting by judging the read information. Is the number of books for each issue of each magazine for each publisher, and Determine the processing method for the magazines to be transferred by and count based on the read information. The target magazines should be distinguished at least by each publisher and smaller if necessary. It is characterized by issuing a command to send to the designated place and creating a slip of the total result. It provides a returned magazine sorting device.   The present invention provides a device as described above, wherein the computer is a magazine and the reader is a reader. When it comes to the position to read by, the machine side including the conveyor decides with the read information. When the magazine processing method is determined by memorizing the identification code that Provided is a returned-goods magazine sorting device characterized in that it is given to a machine side together with the identification code. It is something.

[0006]

【Example】

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.   In general, all magazines returned from bookstores are accompanied by detailed slips. Processing is performed for each. In one embodiment of the invention, for example, the back cover This section describes the returned magazine sorting device for magazines that has a bar code display in place. this The bar code display can understand the publisher, the type of magazine, and the issue number. It In FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, 10 is a conveyor on the input side. The trader will place the magazines 90 one by one with the back cover facing up and in the specified orientation and send them in order. Growling. 12 presses the magazine 90 that came to the delivery end of this conveyor 10 With an air cylinder that brakes the conveyor and sends it at a specified time interval is there. 13 is a second conveyor that follows the conveyor 10 and has a predetermined time interval. The magazine 90 sent by is sent at a predetermined speed and is placed above The barcode reader 15 reads the barcode.

[0007]   Reference numeral 18 is a computer, which is determined by the machine side including the conveyor 13, for example, 0 sequentially. Record the information read from the reader 15 along with an identification code such as repeating numbers such as ~ 9. A magazine that is stored in advance when normal reading is possible based on the read information. Is examined, and if there is a corresponding one, it is totaled and Determine the processing instruction, and if there is no applicable one, determine the processing instruction described later. To do. From receiving the read information from the reader 15 to determining the processing instruction It requires a certain amount of time that is not constant for each piece of information. Therefore, The data 18 gives a processing instruction to the machine side together with the identification code, and the machine side outputs the corresponding identification code. The magazine 90 is processed by the processing instruction. 20 is the third combe Yar, magazine 90 has a processing order determined when it comes over this conveyor. . If there is no magazine corresponding to the identification code that issues a processing instruction, the entire device is automatically secured. It is supposed to stop suddenly. In this state, what kind of code magazine is and why It is necessary to confirm whether the specified operation was not performed. If necessary, read information and What if you consider displaying the code on a computer display or printing it? In any case, the reason is known and the record is kept. Also, the processing life After issuing the order, the read information and the storage of the code will be discarded. Computer Also, for each bookstore that processes at one time, the type of magazine, issue number, etc. Create a slip based on the number of volumes. Usually this matches the voucher that came from the bookstore Is common, but not all match as described below.

[0008]   In the figure, 21 is a conveyor for sending magazines in a horizontal state, which is read with read information. If it is impossible, tilt the air cylinder 22 to the state With the take-out section 23 that drops the magazine sent from the Nveyer 20 and takes it out. The magazine is separated from other magazines and accommodated in a predetermined container (not shown). Read For example, if the back cover is broken or the bar code is There are cases. In the same way, the magazine take-out department of a magazine whose return deadline has passed and the bookstore will buy and sell it. The non-returnable magazine take-out department of special magazines, and the taking of non-branded magazines by other publishers. A projecting section etc. are provided. Magazines that pass through the take-out section that is not subject to the above counting 90 other than magazines are sorted by each publisher, and depending on the quality of the magazines, etc. Further, they are sorted and sorted, and they are also sequentially stored.   The voucher created by the computer 18 is the only one that causes payment of money. Therefore, it must be extremely accurate and must have the trust of the publisher. is there. If you trust the publisher, you can use the sorted magazines 90 It is also possible to hand over.

[0009]   In this invention, in addition to the bar code, for example, a display consisting of Roman letters and numbers, etc. Same as reading the code part of the magazine with the code display of It can also be configured to perform various processes. Also, an identification code is given from the machine side Without the magazine 90 reaching a predetermined position, for example, on the conveyor 21 in the figure. It can also be configured to issue a processing instruction in the state.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

  Since this invention is constructed as described above, it is extremely reliable and It has the effect of significantly reducing the cost, reducing the cost, and performing accurate processing. are doing.
