The conveyance force and the tapping action of the rear end portion act on the paper sheets. At this time, since a large conveying force is applied only to the trailing portion of the skewed sheet, the skew of the sheet is corrected while shifting in the direction perpendicular to the drawing.

Next, FIG. 6 shows the action of the reversing unit in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 when the reversing paper sheet tries to enter the reversing unit following the reversing paper sheet. Shows. The guide roller 15 presses the front end 33 of the paper sheet that is about to enter the reversing portion onto the conveyor belt 6 and at the same time completes the entrance to the reversing portion, and sets the rear end 34 of the paper sheet that is about to be inverted to the conveyor belt 9. Since the pressing action is also provided, even if two or more sheets are brought into the main reversing section continuously in the state of being close to each other, the reversing operation can be performed without causing any trouble such as a jam.

Next, FIG. 7 is a paper sheet which is not inverted in the embodiment shown in FIG.
It shows a state in which the folded paper sheet 38 is conveyed through the gate 11 when the paper sheet 38 enters the first conveyance path. Since such a paper sheet 38 usually causes a problem in the post-processing unit,
It is excluded before reaching the post-processing section by a not-shown sorting means. However, as shown in FIG.

The guide roller 45 is provided, and the rest is the same as the configuration shown in FIG.

The guide roller 45 is configured such that the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45 and the entrance stop member 14 is slightly longer than the length of the backward-facing paper sheet in the conveyance direction. Further, the brush member 47 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45 has an outer peripheral diameter somewhat larger than the outer peripheral diameter of the portion around which the conveyor belt 8 is wound around the pulley 27, and further, the outer peripheral surface and the entrance stop are stopped. The distance of the member 14 is configured to be slightly shorter than the length of the back-faced paper sheet in the conveyance direction.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the reversing operation of the sheet judged to be the back side by the discriminating section 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.

FIG. 10 shows a state of the front end 33 and the front end side end portion 33a of the paper sheet when the paper sheet enters the space constituted by the carry-in guide frame 12 and the carry-out guide frame 13. The guide roller 45 is larger than the outer diameter when the conveyor belt 8 is wound around the pulley 27.
Since the outer peripheral diameter of the brush member 47 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sheet is larger than the outer peripheral surface of the sheet, the paper sheet is pressed against the conveyor belt 6 by the forced deformation force. The amount of deformation at this time is regulated by the carry-in guide frame 12, and the front end 23 of the paper sheet
Is forcedly deformed, the rigidity of the paper sheet apparently becomes large, the paper sheet smoothly advances in the guide frames 12 and 13, and finally collides with the entry stop member 14 and stops ( 11th
See figure). At this time, since the distance between the outer periphery of the guide roller 45 and the entry stop member 14 is set to be slightly longer than the length of the conveyed paper sheet in the conveyance direction, it is also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45. The outer periphery of the brush member 47 and the entry stop member
Since the distance 14 is set to be slightly shorter than the conveying direction of the conveyed paper sheet, the rear end 34 of the paper sheet is rotated by the brush member 47 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45. Along with this, the thick solid line moves like a thick two-dot chain line and is pressed against the conveyor belt 9. Next, the paper sheets are held by the conveyor belts 8 and 9 as shown in FIG. 12, and the rear end 34 and the rear end side end portion 34a of the paper sheets are in the state shown in FIG. That is, the rear end 34 of the paper sheet receives the forced deformation force and is pressed against the conveyor belt 9. The amount of deformation at this time is regulated by the carry-out guide frame 13 and the rear end 34 of the paper sheet is forcibly deformed, so that the rigidity of the paper sheet is apparently increased, and the paper sheet is smoothed. In addition, it is possible to enter the conveyance path held by the conveyance belts 8 and 9. After that, it is conveyed along the merging guide 16 shown in FIG. 9, reaches the holding portion of the conveyor belts 9 and 5, and is conveyed downward.

Therefore, the paper sheets that are nipped by the conveyor belts 5 and 9 and are conveyed downward are conveyed as front-faced paper sheets in the same direction as the front-faced paper sheets. In addition, the conveyance time from the gate 11 to the gripping portions of the conveyor belts 5 and 9 via the gripping portions of the conveyor belts 5 and 7, and the gate 11 to convey the conveyor belts 6 and 8 via the gripping portions of the conveyor belts 6 and 8. After the reversing operation of the paper sheets, the feeding lengths and the feeding speeds of the respective feeding paths are set so that the feeding times including the reversing time until the holding portions of the feeding belts 5 and 9 reach each other are almost equal. Therefore, only the paper sheets that are judged to be face down by the discriminating section 1 are sorted by the gate 11, the front and back sides are reversed in the above-mentioned conveyance path, and when the paper is conveyed to the post-processing section by the conveyor belts 5 and 9, the front side paper sheets are conveyed. There is no variation in the interval between and, and there is no inconvenience in processing.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, when the skewed paper sheet facing down is conveyed, the skew is corrected by the same operation as in the embodiment shown in FIG.

Further, during the reversing operation shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, two or more sheets to be reversed such as a sheet to be reversed followed by a sheet to be reversed enter the reversing unit. Even when approaching continuously in the approaching state, the reversing operation can be performed by the action of the guide roller 45 without causing any trouble such as a jam, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. Further, even when a sheet that is not inverted and has an abnormally short length in the transport direction, for example, a folded sheet enters the transport path, it is transported smoothly as in the embodiment shown in FIG. can do.

As described above, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
Since the flexible member as a paper sheet pressing member provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45 is made of an elastic body such as a brush member 47 made of a thin wire such as nylon, it is difficult to damage the paper sheet. At the same time, the frictional force between the reversing end 34 of the paper sheet and the like becomes large, so that the rear end 34 of the paper sheet can be smoothly moved from the conveyor belt 6 to the conveyor belt 9 side. Further, the shape and material of the flexible member provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45 are not limited to the shapes and materials illustrated above, and for example, FIG. 13 (a),
As shown in (b) and (c), various shapes are possible. FIG. 13 (a) shows the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 45,
The brush member 47 as a flexible member is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the radial direction, and the amount of deformation of the flexible member is reduced. FIG. 13 (b) shows an elastic body 48 such as a rubber material provided as a flexible member.
In FIG. 13 (c), a flexible member is directly provided on the shaft as the guide roller 45. The action and function are exactly the same for any of these guide rollers.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the paper sheet pressing member provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 15 is made of a flexible member, and the outer periphery thereof and the entry stop member 14 are provided. Since the distance is set to be slightly shorter than the length of the paper sheet in the conveying direction, even if the paper sheet is conveyed in a short length in the conveying direction, the flexible member allows Since the carrying force is applied, the reversing operation can be smoothly performed.

According to each of the embodiments described above, it is possible to reverse the front and back while conveying the sheets, and even when the sheets are conveyed in the front and back sides in a mixed state, the conveyance order and the conveyance interval are constant. Thus, all the paper sheets can be sent out face up, and therefore the processing such as accumulating and storing the paper sheets in the post-processing section is easy and accurate. In addition, since the guide roller can increase the apparent rigidity of the paper sheet when the paper sheet is turned upside down, the paper sheet can be reliably turned over even if it is curled or bent. Has the effect of being able to Further, even when paper sheets having an abnormally short length in the carrying direction are mixed, it is possible to smoothly carry them to the post-processing section.
