Abstract:
A counter-ejector comprises: an elevator including a table displaceable in a forward-backward direction parallel to a feeding-out direction; a backward restriction member for restricting a situation where backward edges of corrugated paperboard sheets in a batch are displaced in a direction opposite to the feeding-out direction; table upward-downward movement drive device; a table displacement drive device; and a control device. The control device executes a table downward movement control processing such that the table is displaced backwardly in at least part of a time period when the table is moved downwardly from the hopper part to a table stop position and a time period when the table is stopped at the table stop position, and a table upward movement control processing such that the table is displaced forwardly in a time period when the table is moved upwardly from the table stop position to the hopper part.

Claim (Index 1):
A counter-ejector comprising:\n a forward contact plate which comes into contact with a forward edge of a corrugated paperboard sheet supplied from a folder-gluer in a given conveyance direction; a correction plate which is disposed in opposed relation to the forward contact plate, and which comes into contact with a backward edge of the supplied corrugated paperboard sheet to align sheet edges; a ledge which separates the corrugated paperboard sheets stacked inside a hopper part configured by the forward contact plate and the correction plate, in order to form a batch including a given number of the corrugated paperboard sheets; a feeding-out conveyer which is disposed at a given feeding-out position below the forward contact plate and the correction plate, to feed out the batch in a given feeding-out direction oriented in a same direction as the conveyance direction; an elevator which comprises a table performing an upward-downward movement to transport the batch placed on the table from the hopper part to the feeding-out conveyer, and which is configured such that the table is displaceable in a forward-backward direction parallel to the feeding-out direction; a backward restriction member which is disposed between the correction plate and the feeding-out conveyer, and which comes into contact with the backward edges of the corrugated paperboard sheets in the batch placed on the table to restrict displacement of the batch in a direction opposite to the feeding-out direction; a table upward-downward movement drive device which moves the table upwardly and downwardly; a table displacement drive device which displaces the table in the forward-backward direction parallel to the feeding-out direction; and a control device which is configured to control the table upward-downward movement drive device and the table displacement drive device, wherein the control device is configured to execute: a table downward movement control processing of controlling the table upward-downward movement drive device and the table displacement drive device such that the table is displaced backwardly, in at least part of a time period including a time period during which the table is moved downwardly from the hopper part to a table stop position below the feeding-out position of the feeding-out conveyer, and a time period during which the table is stopped at the table stop position; and a table upward movement control processing of controlling the table upward-downward movement drive device and the table displacement drive device such that the table is displaced forwardly, in a time period during which the table is moved upwardly from the table stop position to the hopper part.
