Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of document binding, and in particular to an alignment device for arranging vouchers. Background Art

[0002] Financial vouchers are written proofs used to record accounting books, and they usually need to be bound and filed regularly. Before binding, relevant personnel are required to arrange the vouchers neatly. However, the number of vouchers to be sorted at a time is large (about 500 sheets), so it is difficult to rely solely on relevant personnel to manually align a stack of vouchers.

[0003] To this end, there is a voucher alignment device in the prior art, such as the Chinese utility model patent "A voucher bonding and sorting mechanism" with patent number CN202320347683.2 (authorization announcement number CN219277057U). The alignment mechanism of the alignment device includes a push plate and an L-shaped limit plate, wherein the push plate can move toward and away from the limit plate, so that the voucher can be aligned closely against the surface of the push plate and the limit plate.

[0004] However, the above alignment device still has certain defects in actual use: compared with common paper, the texture of voucher paper is softer and larger in size. Therefore, when the above alignment device is used to sort the stacked vouchers, due to the friction between the vouchers, sometimes some of the voucher paper corners will be folded, which is not conducive to the alignment and binding of the vouchers. Therefore, there is still a need to further improve the existing voucher alignment device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an alignment device capable of preventing the corners of a voucher from folding in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: the voucher alignment device includes an alignment area, the alignment area includes a placement surface for placing the aligned voucher, and the placement surface is also provided with an alignment mechanism for aligning the voucher to be aligned, characterized in that it also includes:

[0007] A paper feeding area, comprising a paper feeding port for communicating with the alignment area;

[0008] A paper feeding mechanism, located in the paper feeding area, to transport the documents to be aligned in the paper feeding area to the placement surface of the alignment area through the paper feeding port one by one;

[0009] The paper feed port is located above the placement surface and has a preset height from the placement surface, so that the alignment is completed by the alignment mechanism when the transported voucher to be aligned has not yet contacted the aligned voucher on the placement surface.

[0010] In order to enable the paper feed mechanism to transport the documents to be aligned in the paper feed area to the placement surface of the alignment area, preferably, the paper feed mechanism includes a paper feed member in contact with the documents to be aligned and a first driving source connected to the paper feed member, and the contact surface between the paper feed member and the documents to be aligned corresponds to the paper feed port. The paper feed member can adopt a structure such as a friction block or a roller, and the friction between the paper feed member and the documents to be aligned in contact is greater than the friction between each sheet of the documents to be aligned, and the contact surface between the paper feed member and the documents to be aligned corresponds to the paper feed port, so that the paper feed member can drive the documents to be aligned in contact with it to be transported to the alignment area through the paper feed port.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to simplify the structure of the paper feeding mechanism, preferably, the paper feeding member is cylindrical and can rotate around the power output shaft of the first driving source, thereby driving the documents to be aligned in the paper feeding area to pass through the paper feeding port. Such a design is based on the consideration that if the paper feeding member is set as a friction block structure as described above, the first driving source is required to realize the movement of the friction block in two directions, while if a cylindrical paper feeding member is used, only the first driving source is required to be able to drive the paper feeding member to rotate.

[0012] In order to make the document to be aligned always in contact with the paper feeder, preferably, the paper feeder is located above the document to be aligned, and correspondingly, the paper feed mechanism further includes a first plate located below the document to be aligned, and the first plate can push the document to be aligned to contact with the paper feeder. Since the paper feeder continuously transports the document to be aligned to the alignment area, the thickness of the document to be aligned below the paper feeder will decrease and will gradually fail to contact with the paper feeder, so it is necessary to provide the first plate to push the document to be aligned to always contact with the paper feeder.

[0013] In order to enable the first plate to push the voucher to be aligned, preferably, the paper feed area further includes a receiving box for accommodating the voucher to be aligned, and an elastic member is provided between the bottom of the receiving box and the first plate, so that the first plate always has a tendency to approach the paper feeder. The receiving box can, on the one hand, accommodate the voucher to be aligned, and play a role in limiting and guiding the voucher to be aligned, and on the other hand, an elastic member can be provided between the receiving box and the first plate, so that the first plate always has a tendency to approach the paper feeder, thereby pushing the voucher to be aligned to always be in contact with the paper feeder.

[0014] In order to avoid interference between the receiving box and the transported documents to be aligned, preferably, a gap is formed between the upper edge of the receiving box adjacent to the alignment area and the paper feeder, and the gap constitutes the paper feed port. Such a design is based on the consideration that the documents to be aligned are stored in the receiving box, and if the paper feeder directly transports the documents to be aligned, it may interfere with the receiving box. In addition, according to actual needs, an opening can be opened on the receiving box as a paper feed port for the transported documents to be aligned to pass through.

[0015] In order to achieve that the placement surface and the paper feed port maintain a preset height, preferably, the alignment area includes a second plate, and the second plate or the topmost aligned voucher forms the placement surface. Correspondingly, the second plate is connected to a second driving source, so that when the number of aligned vouchers on the second plate increases, the second plate is driven to move downward, so that the placement surface and the paper feed port maintain the preset height. The second plate and the second driving source are provided because, as the number of aligned vouchers increases, the placement surface will gradually approach the paper feed port, reducing the distance between the two, and the transported voucher to be aligned will be in full contact with the aligned voucher more quickly. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, a second plate and a second driving source are required to keep the placement surface and the paper feed port at the preset height.

[0016] In order to achieve faster alignment of the transported voucher to be aligned with the aligned voucher, preferably, one end of the second plate along the length direction is adjacent to the paper feed port to form a proximal end, and correspondingly, the second plate also includes a distal end opposite to the proximal end, and the distal end is inclined downward relative to the proximal end. Through this inclined structure, even if the transported voucher to be aligned partially contacts the aligned voucher, it can still slide downward along the placement surface to the final position to align with the aligned voucher under the action of its own gravity.

[0017] In order to realize that the alignment mechanism can align the voucher to be aligned with the aligned voucher, preferably, the alignment mechanism also includes a first limit plate located at the far end of the second plate body and a second limit plate along one side in the width direction, and a third driving source and a push plate connected to the third driving source are provided on the other side of the second limit plate, so as to drive the push plate to move along the width direction of the second plate body. The first limit plate and the second limit plate together form an L-shaped structure, and the voucher to be aligned can be aligned with the L-shaped structure, and the push plate can push the voucher to be aligned to collide with the second limit plate, so as to align with the aligned voucher, and the voucher to be aligned will collide with the first limit plate due to the above-mentioned inclined structure under the action of its own gravity and the paper feeder, so as to achieve complete alignment with the aligned voucher.

[0018] In order to prevent air from interfering with the falling of the transported certificate to be aligned, preferably, the upper edge of the first limiting plate and / or the second limiting plate is at least partially recessed downward to form a gap for the air between the aligned certificate and the certificate to be aligned to be discharged. The gap can, on the one hand, allow the air between the aligned certificate and the certificate to be aligned to be discharged to prevent the air from interfering with the transported certificate to be aligned, and on the other hand, it can also facilitate the user to take the aligned certificate.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are that the alignment area and the paper feeding area are connected through the paper feeding port, and a preset height is left between the paper feeding port and the placement surface, so that the alignment can be completed through the alignment mechanism when the transported voucher to be aligned has not yet contacted the aligned voucher on the placement surface, thereby avoiding corner folding due to excessive friction between the vouchers during the alignment process.

[0029] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-2 As shown, the voucher alignment device includes an alignment area 1, which includes a placement surface N for placing the aligned voucher 1a, and an alignment mechanism 11 for aligning the voucher 2a to be aligned is also provided on the placement surface N. The voucher alignment device also includes a paper feed area 2, and the paper feed area 2 includes a paper feed port 21 for communicating with the alignment area 1, and a paper feed mechanism 3 is also provided in the paper feed area 2 to transport the vouchers 2a to be aligned in the paper feed area 2 to the placement surface N of the alignment area 1 one by one through the paper feed port 21. Figure 3 As shown, the paper feed port 21 is located above the placement surface N and has a preset height H with the placement surface N. The preset height H in this embodiment is approximately 30 mm, so that when the conveyed document 2a to be aligned has not yet contacted the aligned document 1a on the placement surface N, the alignment can be completed by the alignment mechanism 11.

[0031] Regarding the specific structure of the paper feeding mechanism 3, Figure 4 As shown, the paper feeding mechanism 3 includes a paper feeding member 31 in contact with the voucher 2a to be aligned and a first driving source 32 connected to the paper feeding member 31, and the contact surface between the paper feeding member 31 and the voucher 2a to be aligned corresponds to the paper inlet 21. The friction between the paper feeding member 31 and the voucher 2a to be aligned in contact is greater than the friction between each voucher 2a to be aligned, so that the paper feeding member 31 can drive the voucher 2a to be aligned in contact with it to be transported to the alignment area 1 through the paper inlet 21. The paper feeding member 31 is cylindrical and can rotate around the power output shaft 321 of the first driving source 32, so as to drive the voucher 2a to be aligned in the paper feeding area 2 to pass through the paper inlet 21. The paper feeder 31 is located above the document to be aligned 2a. Since the paper feeder 31 continuously transports the document to be aligned 2a to the alignment area 1, the thickness of the document to be aligned 2a below the paper feeder 31 will decrease and will gradually fail to contact the paper feeder 31. For this reason, the paper feed mechanism 3 also includes a first plate 33 located below the document to be aligned 2a. The first plate 33 can push the document to be aligned 2a to contact the paper feeder 31. The paper feed area 2 also includes a receiving box 22 for receiving the document to be aligned 2a, and an elastic member 34 is provided between the bottom of the receiving box 22 and the first plate 33, so that the first plate 33 always has a tendency to approach the paper feeder 31. On the one hand, the accommodating box 22 can accommodate the voucher 2a to be aligned, and play a role in limiting and guiding the voucher 2a to be aligned. On the other hand, an elastic member 34 can be arranged between the accommodating box 22 and the first plate 33, so that the first plate 33 always has a tendency to approach the paper feeder 31, thereby pushing the voucher 2a to be aligned to always be in contact with the paper feeder 31. Figure 5As shown, a gap is formed between the upper edge of the accommodating box 22 adjacent to the alignment area 1 and the paper feeder 31, and the gap constitutes the paper feed port 21. In this embodiment, a housing 20 for inserting the accommodating box 22 is also provided, and a first driving source 32 is provided on the housing 20. In order to avoid interference between the accommodating box 22 and the paper feeder 31 during the insertion process of the housing 20, a corresponding avoidance structure is provided on the first plate 33 and the housing 20, and a paging pad is provided at the paper feed port to avoid more than one voucher 2a to be aligned being fed at the same time, but the above structures are relatively conventional, so they are not described in detail.

[0032] Regarding alignment area 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, the alignment area 1 includes a second plate 12, and the second plate 12 or the topmost aligned voucher 1a forms a placement surface N. Correspondingly, the second plate 12 is connected to a second driving source 13, so that when the aligned vouchers 1a on the second plate 12 increase, the second plate 12 is driven to move downward, so that the placement surface N and the paper feed port 21 maintain a preset height H. In this embodiment, a base 10 is also provided, and the second plate 12 and the second driving source 13 are provided on the base 10. The second plate 12 and the second driving source 13 are provided because, as the aligned vouchers 1a increase, the placement surface N will gradually approach the paper feed port 21 to reduce the distance between the two, and the transported voucher 2a to be aligned will be more quickly in full contact with the aligned voucher 1a. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the second plate 12 and the second driving source 13 are required to keep the placement surface N and the paper feed port 21 at a preset height H. One end of the second plate 12 along the length direction is adjacent to the paper inlet 21 to form a proximal end 121, and correspondingly, the second plate 12 further includes a distal end 122 opposite to the proximal end 121, and the distal end 122 is inclined downward relative to the proximal end 121. Through this inclined structure, even if the transported to-be-aligned voucher 2a partially contacts the aligned voucher 1a, it can still slide downward along the placement surface N to the final position to align with the aligned voucher 1a under the action of its own gravity.

[0033] In terms of the specific structure of the alignment mechanism 11, the alignment mechanism 11 also includes a first limiting plate 14 located at the far end of the second plate body 12 and a second limiting plate 15 on one side in the width direction. A third driving source 16 and a push plate 17 connected to the third driving source 16 are provided on the other side of the second limiting plate 15, so as to drive the push plate 17 to move along the width direction of the second plate body 12. The first limiting plate 14 and the second limiting plate 15 together form an L-shaped structure, and the voucher 2a to be aligned can be aligned with the L-shaped structure, and the push plate 17 can push the voucher 2a to be aligned to collide with the second limiting plate 15, so as to align with the aligned voucher 1a. Due to the above-mentioned inclined structure, the voucher 2a to be aligned will collide with the first limiting plate 14 under the action of its own gravity and the paper feeder 31, so as to achieve complete alignment with the aligned voucher 1a. Finally, the upper edges of the first limiting plate 14 and the second limiting plate 15 are at least partially concave downward, forming a gap 18 for air to be discharged between the aligned voucher 1a and the voucher 2a to be aligned. The notch 18 can allow air between the aligned voucher 1a and the voucher 2a to be aligned to be discharged to avoid interference of air on the transported voucher 2a to be aligned, and can also facilitate users to take the aligned voucher 1a.

[0034] The specific use process of the credential alignment device in this embodiment is described as follows:

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the document to be aligned 2a being transported has not yet completely contacted the aligned document 1a below, and the push plate 17 will push the document to be aligned 2a to align with the second limit plate 15 under the action of the third driving source 16. The dotted arrow in the figure indicates the moving direction of the push plate 17. Under the action of its own gravity and the paper feeder 31, the document to be aligned 2a will align with the first limit plate 14, thereby aligning the document to be aligned 2a with the aligned document 1a. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, it is obvious that the thickness of the voucher 2a to be aligned is thicker than the thickness of the aligned voucher 1a, and a preset height H is left between the placement surface N and the paper feed port 21. Fig. 9 As shown, as the number of the documents 2a to be aligned decreases, the thickness of the aligned documents 1a increases, and the second driving source 13 drives the second plate 12 to move downward, so that a preset height H is maintained between the placement surface N and the paper feed port 21.
