Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for triggering a franking machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows, according to this description, as prior art a franking machine 10 which is composed of a drive unit 11, a franking unit 12 and a feed apparatus 13 in a modular manner.
  • a collecting container 14 In addition there is a collecting container 14.
  • a rotating feed segment 18 serially pulls the bottom letter to the right and leads it to a pair of transport rollers 19 and an envelope closer 20 to.
  • a pair of feed rollers 21 detects the mail item 15. This thereby actuates a release fork 22 which is operatively connected to a drive which in turn sets a pressure rotor 23 in a single revolution.
  • a coloring device 24 dyes the rotor 23, whereupon the latter rolls on the continuous letter and thereby attaches the franking stamp.
  • a counter pressure roller 24 supports the letter 15 regardless of its thickness. The letter is finally ejected into the collecting container 14 by two ejection rollers 25.
  • FIG. 2 shows the example of a franking machine 10 being imprinted on a piece of mail 15, in particular a letter.
  • the imprint consists of a value stamp 30, a date stamp 31 and two information stamps 32, 33.
  • these stamps should be as "cleaner" as possible as parallel to the upper edge 115 of the respective letter 15 and at a favorable distance d from the leading edge 116. Pressure.
  • the distance d is, for example, 10 mm.
  • the distance d varies depending on the working speed of the respective franking machine 10. If the machine has a faster throughput than an identical but slower machine, the imprint on the envelope slides to the left, ie the distance d increases .
  • the franking machines 10 therefore have a setting option for setting the respectively desired trigger position of the trigger fork 22. This allows the aforementioned dependency of the distance d on the working speed of the respective machine to be compensated for in a fixed manner.
  • FIG. 3 shows a simple block diagram of the drive unit 11 known from FIG. 1 and the franking mechanism 12 of a franking machine 10.
  • This machine comprises a pair of feed rollers 21, a trigger 122 with the trigger fork 22, a drive motor 40, a clutch 42 and the pressure rotor 23. These units are connected to each other by active connections, which are shown as bar arrows.
  • the motor 40 runs continuously and drives the pair of feed rollers 21. Its rollers 21.1 and 21.2 are arranged vertically one above the other. The lower roller 21.2 is rigidly supported, while the upper roller 21.1 is resiliently suspended, so that it presses elastically against the lower roller 21.2 in the idle state. As soon as a letter 15 is drawn in horizontally in the direction of arrow 52, this letter is clamped resiliently between the two rollers. The resulting different distance between the rollers 21 thus corresponds to the thickness of the respective letter 15.
  • the resilient suspension of the upper roller 21. 1 is indicated by a vertical double arrow 27.
  • the motor 40 continues to drive part of the clutch 42.
  • This is designed, for example, as a wrap spring clutch that is triggered mechanically by the trigger 122 (arrow 61).
  • the pressure rotor 23 begins to accelerate from a standing position, rotate at a constant speed and again up to to brake to a standstill. It does one complete revolution.
  • the trigger fork 22 of the trigger 122 is actuated each time a mail item 15 passes through the franking machine 10 on the path 28 shown in broken lines.
  • the pressure rotor 23 thus operates in a pure start / stop mode, which is controlled by the mail items 15 via the trigger 122 and the clutch 42.
  • the trigger fork 22 is rotatably mounted on a displaceable support 62.
  • the free end of the fork 22 hangs down. Its axis is connected to the coupling 42 via a flexible shaft (not shown), which is symbolically represented by the arrow 61 mentioned.
  • the trigger fork 22 triggers the clutch 42 when rotating via this shaft.
  • the fork 22 preferably has two or more identical levers or tines which are rigidly connected to one another and are arranged transversely to the passage 28.
  • the support 62 is linearly displaceable in the direction of the path 28, which is indicated by the double arrow 63.
  • the support 62 is further connected to the feed roller pair 21 by an operative connection 50, which is represented by a correspondingly designated bar arrow.
  • the active connection 50 forms an inevitable connection, preferably of a mechanical type. It acts in such a way that the trigger position of the trigger 122 shifts in the direction of the passage of the mail pieces 15, i.e. 3 to the right when the mutual distance between the feed rollers 21.1, 21.2 increases. If this distance decreases again, the trigger position is shifted against the direction of travel 52 mentioned, i.e. to the left.
  • Fig. 4 shows a first embodiment of the active connection 50.
  • a feed roller 21.2 which is a feed roller 21.2, in particular the lower one stored in a holder 55 stationary.
  • the other, upper feed roller 21.1 is mounted in a linearly displaceable manner via a holding arm 57 and a guide 58.
  • a compression spring 60 elastically presses the upper roller 21.1 against the lower roller 21.2.
  • the two rollers 21 rotate in the direction of the arrow and pull the respective mail item 15 in the direction of the arrow 52.
  • a thicker envelope is shown as mail piece 15 with a plurality of paper sheets lying inside.
  • the trigger fork 22 is rotatably attached to the support 62, which is mounted in a linearly displaceable manner in the direction of the arrow 63.
  • a prestressed tension spring 64 constantly pulls the support 62 in the direction of the rollers 21.
  • the mounting arm 57 and the support 62 are non-positively connected via a Bowden cable 66, which is held by two assigned brackets 68, 69.
  • the described first embodiment of the operative connection 50 uses the Bowden cable 66 as a flexible, mechanical connecting element. This is a functionally clear, but practically quite complex type.
  • FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the operative connection 50.
  • a light barrier 73, 74 works together with the displaceably mounted mounting arm 57. This light barrier responds as soon as a predetermined deflection of the mounting arm 57 is reached.
  • the resulting electrical response signal is transmitted via connection 76 to an electromechanical converter 78, e.g. a tie rod magnet. This shifts the support 62 to the right in the direction of arrow 63.
  • FIG. 6 shows a third, preferred embodiment of the operative connection 50. This consists of the combination of two rotatably mounted levers 80 and 81, which are shown next to one another, for the sake of clarity, separately from one another. The respective rest position is extended and the maximum deflection position is shown in dashed lines.
  • the fixed points of the arrangement form three stationary axes 85, 86, 87, the section of which is shown in black over the entire surface.
  • the lower roller 21.2 of the pair of rollers 21 is mounted on the first axis 85, the first lever 80 on the second axis 86 and the second lever 81 on the third axis 87.
  • This second lever is simultaneously inserted via an elongated hole 89 over the second axis 86 .
  • the first lever 80 carries a fourth axis 92 on which the upper roller 21.1 of the pair of rollers 21 is mounted.
  • the lever 80 is spring-loaded so that this upper roller 21.1 presses elastically from above continuously against the lower, rigidly mounted first roller 21.2.
  • Each mail piece 15 passing through in the direction of arrow 52 presses the upper roller 21.1 against its weight and the spring force mentioned, depending on its thickness.
  • the maximum deflection is indicated by the letter D and is, for example, about 12 mm. Due to the deflection of the roller 21.1, the first lever 80 rotates about the second axis 86, up to the maximum deflection shown in dashed lines.
  • the first lever 80 now has an upwardly projecting arm 94, which carries a pin 95, aligned parallel to the axes 85, 86, 87, 92.
  • This pin 95 engages in a cam slot 98 of the second lever 81, specifically with it little play.
  • the cam slot 98 is dimensioned and aligned such that the pin 95 moves freely in this slot 98 when the first lever 80 is only slightly deflected or the arm 94 is slightly rotated about the second axis 86, without the second lever 81 in its basic position change.
  • the pin 94 reaches the upper part of the cam slot 98 and moves the second lever 81 depending on the thickness of the mail piece 15 more or less far in the direction of the maximum deflection position shown in dashed lines.
  • the second lever 81 has a further elongated hole 99 at its lower end.
  • the trigger fork 22 is fastened in this elongated hole in such a way that the individual fixed setting corresponding to its working speed can be selected for each franking machine 10.
  • the trigger fork 22 itself can be rotated about the set point 100 and is connected to the coupling 42 via the flexible shaft (not shown). After each actuation of the franking machine 10, the coupling 42 causes the actuation fork 22 to be reset to its basic position, in which, as shown, it points vertically downward.
  • the second lever 81 obviously corresponds to the mentioned support 62 (FIGS. 3, 4, 5).
  • the linear, horizontal displaceability of the support is replaced by the rotation of the lever 81 about the third axis 87.
  • the slot 99 in the lever 81 enables the as described individual fixed adjustment of the trigger point of the trigger fork 22.
  • the elongated hole 99 thus forms, together with a fixing screw, an adjusting device for the fine adjustment of the distance d of the value stamp 30 from the leading edge of the mail pieces 15 of small thickness (FIG. 2).

Abstract

Le dispositif comprend deux leviers (80, 81) qui tournent autour d'axes rigides (86, 87). Un troisième axe rigide (85) porte un rouleau d'introduction (21.2). Le rouleau d'introduction supérieur (21.1) est monté sur un levier (80) et vient en pression élastique contre le rouleau inférieur (21.2). Les lettres à affranchir se déplacent dans le sens de la flèche (52) et séparent les deux rouleaux (21.1, 21.2) d'une distance d'écartement maximum D. Un levier (80) porte, sur un bras (94) une goupille (95) qui s'engage dans une fente à came (98) de l'autre levier (81). Si la distance d'écartement est comprise entre 0 et 3 mm, la goupille se déplace librement dans la fente à came (98). Si la distance d'écartement est plus grande, la goupille (95) vient frapper contre le bord de la fente et presse l'autre levier (81) dans la direction de la position de déflection représentée par une ligne discontinue. La machine à affranchir est actionnée par une fourche de déclenchement (22) montée de façon à pouvoir tourner dans un trou allongé (99) de l'autre levier (81). Le pivotement de ce levier (81) entraîne une modification du moment de déclenchement, par conséquent l'impression du timbre d'affranchissement se fait sur les enveloppes épaisses plus tard que sur les enveloppes minces. Cela améliore la qualité de l'impression.
