A sheet conveyance device includes a conveyor configured to convey a sheet in a sheet conveyance path and a discharger disposed at an intermediate position in the sheet conveyance path. The conveyor is configured to contact the sheet in a contact range within and narrower than a passage range where the sheet passes through the sheet conveyance path in a width direction of the sheet. The discharger is disposed close to the sheet that the conveyor is conveying in the sheet conveyance path, in a range different from the contact range and configured to remove static electricity from the sheet that the conveyor is conveying in the sheet conveyance path.

The present utility model discloses an electrode sheet turning mechanism, including a housing, a conveyor belt, a driving mechanism, and a stripping member. The housing has a suction cavity, and forms an arc-shaped guide surface. A material feeding region and a material discharging region are formed on the arc-shaped guide surface, which is further provided with first suction holes. Second suction holes run through the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is wound on the arc-shaped guide surface, and seals the first suction holes. The driving mechanism is for driving the conveyor belt to move. The stripping member is for extending to the position between the conveyor belt and the electrode sheet. In the present utility model, the electrode sheet can be automatically turned.

The invention presented and described comprises an apparatus for mounting flat data carriers (1) on a continuous carrier web (2), having a data carrier supply device (3), a data carrier transfer device (4) and a carrier web positioning device (5), wherein the supply device (3) has a drive roller (6), a deflector (7) arranged substantially horizontally spaced apart from the drive roller (6) and at least one carrying belt (8) which runs around the drive roller (6) and deflector (7), wherein the carrying belt (8) has an upper run (9) which runs substantially horizontally in the feed direction of the data carriers (1), and a lower run (10) which runs in the opposite direction below said upper run, wherein the upper run (9) forms a transport path (11) for the data carrier (1) and is hydraulically connected to a suction box (12) which is arranged beneath in such a way that data carriers (1) which are located on the upper run (9) can be drawn by suction onto the carrying belt (8) by negative pressure, wherein the transfer device (4) has a transfer roller (14), which is provided with intake openings (13) on the circumference and which is hydraulically connected to a negative pressure source in such a way that data carriers (1) located on the outer casing of the transfer roller (14) can be drawn by suction onto the outer casing by negative pressure, wherein the transfer roller (14) has an entry region (15) which is adjacent to the suction box (12) of the supply device (3) and an exit region (16), which is spaced apart from the entry region (15) by a specific angle and is adjacent to the positioning device (5), and wherein at the exit region (16) of the transfer roller (14), a data carrier (1) which is located there on the outer casing of the transfer roller (14) can be transferred onto the carrier web (2).

Certain examples described herein relate to transporting sheets of print media. In one example, a media transport apparatus has a plurality of media transport sections including a first media transport section and a second media transport section offset from the first media transport section in a media transport direction. The media transport apparatus has a holding section arranged to receive a sheet of print media from the first media transport section. The holding section is moveable to deposit the sheet of print media upon the second media transport section.

An apparatus for controlling curl in sheets between two transports includes a curved baffle placed between the two transports. A thin layer of high velocity air is applied to the curved baffle. The high velocity air layer, which will have a tendency to follow the curved baffle (Coanda effect), will divert sheets (Bernoulli effect) towards the curved baffle. By positioning the curved baffle between the two transports and by applying a uniform air stream to it, a lower pressure area will be created. This will flatten the trajectory of the sheets and ensure acquisition by the downstream transport.

A medium transporting apparatus includes a transport belt that has a loop shaped, an clinging mechanism that causes a medium to cling to the transport belt, a rotation mechanism that rotates the transport belt in a first and second rotation direction, and an intermediate stacker on which the medium transported by the transport belt is stacked, in which the clinging mechanism cling an upper surface that is opposite to a lower surface of the medium on the intermediate stacker side, and after rotating the transport belt, to which the medium is cling, in the first rotation direction to transport the medium in a first transport direction, the rotation mechanism rotates the transport belt in the second rotation direction to transport the medium in a second transport direction that is opposite to the first transport direction so as to stack the medium on the intermediate stacker.

A sheet conveying system comprising a first conveyor and a second conveyor arranged downstream of the first conveyor in a transport direction for taking-over a sheet from the first conveyor, the first conveyor having a belt that is driven to move over a stationary attraction mechanism, the attraction mechanism being arranged to exert, onto a sheet conveyed on the first conveyor, an attraction force that is proportional to an area of coverage of the sheet on the attraction mechanism, characterized in that the attraction mechanism is arranged to attract the sheet with a larger force per area in a downstream zone of the first conveyor than in an upstream zone thereof.

A conveying unit (100) of a web, or sheet, of paper, or similar products, arranged to transfer along a transfer direction the web, or sheet, of paper, having a support (41) having a lateral surface (42) provided with at least one peripheral suction groove (43). A suction belt (45) is arranged to move along a closed trajectory (46) comprising the suction portion (44). The suction belt (45) is configured to air-tightly engage the suction portion and provides at least one through hole (47) arranged to be positioned at a respective suction portion (43) in order to cause a suction effect on the web, or sheet, and to transfer it from a first point P1 to a second point P2 of a production line of paper products. It is, furthermore, provided a driving device (60) configured to move the suction belt (45) with respect to the support (41).

According to one embodiment, a paper sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance device with a conveyor belt, and an inspection device configured to inspect a paper sheet conveyed by the conveyor belt. The inspection device includes an image detection device configured to capture an image of the paper sheet and the conveyor belt and obtain an image of the paper sheet and the conveyor belt, an image processing device configured to detect a degradation level of the conveyor belt based on an belt image of the conveyor belt, and a controller configured to transmit information encouraging replacement of the conveyor belt to a monitor.
