As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the paper removal device 50 of the paper waste sorting machine 30 is a mounting plate on which the supplied paper waste P is placed.
51, a guide plate 52 erected on the paper take-out side of the placing plate 51, and a tip of a connecting arm 53 rotatably attached to the paper take-out organizer 30 via a rotation shaft 64. A pressing plate 54, which is freely provided and presses the paper P to the placing plate 51 side, a kicking roller 55, a feeding roller 56, and a separating roller 57,
It is substantially composed of a paper misfeeding mechanism 32 for feeding the paper mischievous P one by one from the guide plate 52 side to the discrimination section 33 side.

A recess 59 is formed in the mounting plate 51 as shown in FIG. 3, and a through hole 60 shown in FIG. 2 is formed in the recess 59 so that the kick roller 55 can pass therethrough and rotate. .

Further, an opening 61 is formed between the placing plate 51 and the lower end of the guide plate 52 for passing the paper defect P.

The kick roller 55 is eccentrically rotatably provided in the vicinity of the mounting plate 51, and the outer periphery thereof penetrates a through hole 60 formed in the mounting plate 51. A rotation drive mechanism (not shown) is connected to the kick roller 55.

The feeding roller 55 is configured to kick out the paper defect P on the mounting plate 51 from the uppermost layer to the opening 61.

In the opening 61, the separation roller 57 and the feeding roller 56 are rotatably provided so as to face the outer circumference of the opening 61 and face each other vertically with the outer circumference thereof facing each other. A rotation driving mechanism (not shown) is connected to the feeding roller 56.

The feeding roller 56 and the separating roller 57 contact the paper defect of the uppermost layer of the paper defect P on the mounting plate 51, and discriminate the paper defect P one by one with a friction force larger than the friction force between the paper defects. It is designed so as to take out to the part 33 side.

As shown in FIG. 3, the guide plate 52 is formed with a recess (pressing plate fitting hole) 62 that opens toward the paper feeding unit 31 side. Two notch holes are formed from this recess 62 to the lower part of the guide plate 52.
63, 63 are formed. These cutout holes 63, 63 are formed in parallel.

The paper sorting machine 30 is provided with a concave portion on the side of the discrimination portion 33 of the guide plate 52.
A rotary shaft 64 is horizontally provided at a position lower than 62. A mounting portion 65 having a hexagonal cross section is formed at an intermediate portion of the rotating shaft 64, and a U-shaped connecting arm 53 is mounted on the mounting portion 65. A pin 66 is provided at an intermediate portion of the connecting arm 53, and the pin 66 is rotatably inserted into the attaching portion 65, whereby the intermediate portion of the connecting arm 53 is attached to the rotating shaft 64 via the pin 66. ing. Pressing plates 54 are rotatably attached to both ends of the connecting arm 53 via brackets 67, 67.

Therefore, the pressing plate 54 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 64 via the brackets 67, 67 and the connecting arm 53. The connecting arm 53 is movably fitted in the notched holes 63, 63 by the rotation of the rotary shaft 64, and the pressing plate 54 is from the position shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2 to the position shown by the solid line fitted in the recess 62. It is designed to rotate. The pressing plate 54 is formed with a through hole 68 into which the kicking roller 55 can be easily inserted when the pressing plate 54 approaches the mounting plate 51. Further, when the pressing plate 54 is fitted into the recess 62, there is almost no gap between the side wall of the recess 62 and the pressing plate 54, and the surface of the pressing plate 54 on the side opposite to the brackets 67, 67 (side surface of the paper feeding unit 31). ) Is flush with the side surface (paper defect guide surface) 52a of the paper defect supply portion 31 of the guide plate 52 and constitutes a part of the guide surface of the paper defect P.

A remaining amount detection plate 69 for detecting the remaining amount of the paper defect P in the paper defect supply unit 31 is attached to a predetermined portion of the guide plate 52 below the lower limit position of the recess 62. A detector (not shown) that detects the remaining amount of defective paper in the defective paper supply unit 31 is connected to the remaining amount detection plate 69 via the remaining amount detection plate 69.

Next, the operation of the paper press mechanism constructed as described above will be described.

When the operation of the paper defect sorter 30 is started by the start button (not shown) in the state where the paper defect P is supplied to the paper defect supply unit 31 in a stacked state, first, the error is detected via the paper defect amount detection plate 69. The detection status of the connected paper defect detector is checked.

That is, when the amount of the paper defect P placed on the placing plate 51 is equal to or larger than a certain amount, the weight of the paper defect P placed on the mounting plate 51 causes the paper defect P of the lowermost layer and the kicking roller 55 to move. Since the frictional force between the sheets is ensured, the pressing plate 54 is controlled so as not to press the defective paper P.

Then, in this state, when the feeding roller 56 and the kicking roller 55 are rotationally driven in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 2, the kicking roller 55 opens the paper defect P on the mounting plate 51 from the lowermost end 61.
Kick out to the side and insert into the opening 61. Then, the feeding roller 56 and the separation roller 57 are provided at the bottom of the kicked paper P.
Contact each other and take out the paper defect P one by one to the discriminating section 33 side with a frictional force larger than the frictional force between the paper defects.

When the amount of remaining paper in the paper supply unit 31 becomes low, the paper defect detection plate
A paper defect detector connected to this via 69 detects this and issues a signal. In this case, the remaining amount of the paper defect P on the mounting plate 51 is small, and naturally, the own weight of the paper defect P is also small, and the frictional force between the paper defect P of the lowermost layer and the kick roller 55 is reduced. Therefore, the pressing operation of the pressing plate 54 against the paper defect P is started.

That is, when the rotary shaft 64 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2, the pressing plate 54 is rotated via the connecting arm 53, and the paper defect P of the paper defect supply unit 31 is placed on the uppermost paper defect P. Paper P
Is pressed against the mounting plate 51.

Therefore, the pressing operation by the pressing plate 54 is continued until the frictional force between the lowermost paper P and the delivery roller 55 is secured again and the last one of the paper P is reliably kicked out. Done.

Then, when the final unwinding operation of the paper defect P is confirmed by the detector (not shown), the pressing plate 54 is returned to the initial position for the next processing.

That is, by rotating the rotating shaft 64 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2, the pressing plate 54 rotates in the same direction as the rotating shaft 64, and in the recess 62 of the guide plate 52, the side wall of this recess and the pressing plate.
It is fitted so that there is almost no gap between it and 54, and at this time, the surface of the pressing plate 54 on the side of the defective paper supply portion 31 is the defective paper supply portion of the guide plate 52.
31 It is flush with the side surface (paper misguided surface) 52a and becomes a part of the paper misguided surface to function as the paper misguided.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, if the pressing plate 54 is fitted in the concave portion 62 when the paper is fed or the paper is replenished, the pressing plate 54 does not get in the way and the paper is supplied and replenished. It's easy.

At this time, since there are no gaps or steps between the guide plate 52 and the pressing plate 54, it is possible to supply a large number of paper defects P to the paper defect supplying unit 31.

Furthermore, since there is nothing that protrudes above the uppermost part of the guide plate 52 in the paper defect take-out device 50, the paper defect organizer 30 can be made compact as a whole.

The discriminating section 33 discriminates and counts the type and quality of the paper defect P fed here. The paper defect P that has been discriminated by the discriminating unit 33 for the type and quality and further counted passes through the discriminating unit 33, and the discriminating unit 33
Conveyor path 34 that branches off at the side of, branching path 3
5,36,37,38 and the discriminating section via the distribution mechanisms 39,40,41 provided at the branch sections of these branch sections 35 or branch sections 38.
The four collecting boxes 42, 43, 44, 45 above the 33 are distributed according to the type and fed.
Collected at 4,45.

[Advantages of the Invention] According to the present invention, stacking is performed on the paper defect supply unit between the mounting plate on which the paper defect is mounted and the standing plate-shaped guide plate provided on the paper defect extraction side of the mounting plate. In the paper defect press mechanism that presses the paper defect supplied in this state from above the paper defect to the placement plate side and presses it with the pressure plate, the pressure plate fitting hole is formed in the guide plate. , When the pressing plate is fitted into the pressing plate fitting hole, the side surface of the defective paper feeding portion of the pressing plate is flush with the defective paper guide surface of the guide plate located on the defective paper feeding portion side. Since the pressing plate is fitted into the plate fitting hole without any gap in at least the paper guide area of the guide plate and the pressing plate, the pressing plate fits in the pressing plate fitting hole of the guide plate when the paper is fed or the paper is replenished. If you insert it, the pressing plate will not get in the way and the paper supply and replenishment Becomes extremely easy.

Further, since there are no gaps or steps between the guide plate and the pressing plate, it is possible to supply a large number of paper defects to the paper defect supplying unit.

Furthermore, since there is nothing that protrudes above the uppermost part of the guide plate, it does not take up space and the application device of the present invention can be made compact as a whole.
