Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an object handling system, in particular for an automatic mail sorting machine.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the production of a stacker preferably associated with complementary means to facilitate the handling of the stacker.
  • the profitability of the machines is then linked to a very good management of operations consisting in the reduction of idle times, the elimination of unnecessary handling of mail, a reduction in the number of operators, etc.
  • the most significant gain in productivity is to be obtained during the operation of tri-distribution, that is to say during the preparation of the postman's tour.
  • Preparing the postman's tour involves sorting and arranging the mail in an order that must be scrupulously observed.
  • Mail scheduling must correspond to the route actually made by the postman.
  • the sorting method chosen the number of destinations mentioned above is added to that of the quality assurance of mail sorting, implying an imperative respect for the ordering of letters during the sorting process .
  • sorting techniques can be carried out successfully if the following conditions are respected: conservation when the folds are announced inside each stacker; non-mixing of the stackers between the different sorting passes, that is to say when handling the objects of each stacker, on the one hand on the supply store of the sorting machine and on the other hand in the final storage area at the end of sorting.
  • the object handling system to allow the implementation of the sorting processes defined above, must make it possible to best ensure the stacking functions, manual transfer from a stacker to another stacker without modifying the order of the objects and in an easy manner and emptying the stacker towards the box for receiving the final folds.
  • An object of the invention is to provide such an object handling system making it possible to perform the functions set out above under conditions applicable to small sorting centers, that is to say having a reduced available space. involving a small footprint of sorting machines and the use of a single operator.
  • the object handling system which comprises a frame defining a horizontal upper working surface is characterized in that it further comprises means for supporting a receptacle for the final collection of the objects arranged below.
  • an opening formed in said upper surface an elongated plate pivotally mounted with respect to an axis subject to remain horizontal and perpendicular to the direction of the length of said plate, said plate having a first horizontal position in which it closes said opening and can be brought into a second pivoted position in which one of its ends penetrates into said receptacle, and means for holding said objects comprising elongated support means arranged parallel to the length of said plate in its horizontal position and subject to remain stationary relative to said upper work surface at least in the vertical direction, a first element for holding said objects secured to a first end of said support means and a second element for holding said objects mounted movable relative to said support means and guided by them, return means tending to bring said second holding member closer to said first holding member, and means for positioning said objects integral with said support means and arranged parallel to
  • the assembly formed by the plate and the holding means constitute the stacker in which the objects can be held in a very precise order, which performs the stacking function.
  • the means for holding the objects are movable in horizontal translation relative to said frame in the direction of the length of the plate. This last characteristic facilitates the transfer operation, that is to say the manual entry of the various objects placed in the stacker, because it allows the operator to bring the holding means closer to him and therefore to facilitate entering all the objects.
  • FIG. 1 we will describe the principle of the stacker according to the invention. It essentially consists of an elongated plate 10 which is rigid enough to receive all of the objects to be stacked.
  • the plate 10 has a first free end 12 and a second end 14 provided with a handle 16 for handling the stacking plate 10 in order to transfer the objects.
  • the plate 10 is pivotable. In its horizontal position, the plate 10 closes an opening 18 formed in the upper working surface 20 of the sorting machine. Below the opening 18 is arranged a box 22 intended to collect in the correct order the various objects after their final sorting. This box 22 rests on a structural element 24 of the frame of the sorting machine.
  • the stacker further comprises holding means bearing the general reference 26.
  • These means for holding objects comprise support means 28 arranged parallel to the long length of the plate 10 on one side thereof.
  • a first holding plate or pallet 30 which is integral with the end of the support assembly 28 near the end 12 of the plate 28.
  • the holding means 26 comprise a second plate holding 32 whose general direction is parallel to that of the holding plate 30.
  • the plate 32 is guided in translation parallel to the long length of the plate 10 by a sleeve 36 slidably mounted on a rod 38 integral with the assembly of support 28.
  • a return system constituted for example by a helical spring 40 integral with the support assembly tends to bring the second holding plate 32 closer to the first plate 30.
  • the support assembly 28 comprises a portion of vertical plate which will be described later and referenced 42 which is parallel to the stacking plate 10.
  • the holding assembly 26, preferably, is not fixed relative to the frame of the machine 20 but can be moved in horizontal translation in the direction of the length of the plate 10 in such a way that the objects placed in the stacker can be brought closer to the operator overall while the stacking plate 10 remains stationary.
  • the plate 10 can be moved from its horizontal position to a pivoted position.
  • the plate 10 is provided on each of its sides with a roller 44 and 46.
  • Each roller cooperates with a lateral guide element integral with the frame of the machine.
  • the guide element comprises a first part 48 forming a lifting ramp 50 and a second horizontal part 52, these two guide portions being separated by a discontinuity 54 which can be closed by a pawl 56 associated with a return spring 58.
  • a mechanism for controlling the movement of the plate is provided at the end 14 of the plate 10 a mechanism for controlling the movement of the plate.
  • This mechanism consists first of all of a sliding plate 56 engaged in slides 58 and 60 integral with the underside of the plate 10.
  • the displacements of the plate 56 are limited by stops respectively referenced 60 and 62 integral with the underside of the plate 10.
  • a bent arm 70 has a first end which is articulated relative to the plate 56 around an axis 72 and whose other end is articulated around a axis 74 pivotally mounted in a part 76 integral with the frame 20 of the machine.
  • An elastic return system 78 is connected on the one hand to the fixed part 76 and on the other hand to the point 80 of the arms disposed between the pivot axis 72 and the top of the elbow 82 formed by each arm.
  • the manipulation of the stacking plate 10 to cause the transfer of the objects arranged thereon to the box 22 is carried out as follows.
  • the operator grasps the plate 10 by the handle 16 and raises the latter which, under the action of the return spring 78 of the arm 70, keeps the sliding plate 56 in abutment against the stop 62.
  • the plate 10 thus recedes slightly.
  • the rollers 44 and 46 integral with the plate 10 roll on the guide elements 48 simultaneously causing the lifting, under the effect of the ramp 50, of the plate 10.
  • This lifting of the plate 10 allows under the action of the spring 58 the lifting of the pawl 55 which thus releases the discontinuity 54 in the lateral guide elements 40, 50.
  • the bent arm 70 still under the action of the return spring 78, ends its race around the axis 74 resting on a stop 82 thus driving the plate 10 itself whose rollers 44 and 46 arrive at the height of the discontinuities 54 of the lateral guide elements, which causes the tilting of the plate 10 and objects stacked on that -this in a rotational movement around the axis 72.
  • the end 12 of the plate 10 abuts on the bottom of the box 22.
  • the end 12 of the plate 10 is shaped to exactly match the profile of the box 22.
  • the stack of objects therefore partly slides on the plate 10 to arrive in the box 22. During this transfer, the objects remain in the same order as that in which they were stacked on the plate 10.
  • the plate 10 slides on the sliding plate 56 while having a rotational movement around the axis 72.
  • the end 12 of the plate 10 while moving remains in contact with the bottom of the box 22. In this movement, the rest of the objects slides on the plate 10 to find themselves in the box 22.
  • the plate 10 is vertical, the entire stack of objects, typically of letters, is immediately deposited in the box 22 in an order identical to that which they had on the stacker.
  • the continuation of the movement of the plate 10 consists in returning the latter to its initial horizontal position. For this, the operator continues to lift the plate 10 until the stop 60 comes into contact with the sliding plate 56. The rollers 44 and 46 of the plate 10 pass over the lateral guide elements 48 and 52. The operator tilts the plate 10 towards him in a rotation around the axis 72 then pushes the plate 10, the rollers 44 and 46 coming into contact with the lateral guide elements 48 and 52. In this return movement, the rollers 44, 46 lower the pawls 55 closing the interruption 54 of the guide elements.
  • the stop 62 of the plate 10 comes into contact with the plate 56, which has the effect of pushing back the bent arm 70, the operator providing a force greater than that of the return spring 78 until the plate 10 is replaced in the horizontal position, thereby closing the opening 18 of the upper plate 20 of the frame of the machine.
  • the stacker is again in position to receive new objects.
  • FIGS. 8a to 8d show the different phases and the different positions of the plate 10 during the operation of transferring the objects from the plate 10 to the box 22.
  • the support and holding means 26 remain stationary relative to the upper surface 20 of the sorting machine.
  • the support and holding means can be moved in horizontal translation between a rest position and a close position.
  • Figure 4 there is shown the holding means 261 in the rest position and the holding means 262 in the close position.
  • the stack of objects is brought closer to the operator, which of course facilitates the manual transfer of the objects from the holding means to the transfer zone 84 of the sorting machine.
  • the stacking plate 10 remains stationary, only the support means and therefore the holding elements 30 and 32 are moved.
  • certain objects remain in abutment on the plate 10 while others are in abutment on the transfer zone 84.
  • FIG. 7 shows that the vertical plate 42 forming the base of the support means 26 is slidably mounted in the direction of the length of the plate 10 by means of ball slides 90 fixed on the one hand to the plate 42 and on the other hand on a plate 92 secured to the frame of the sorting machine.
  • the assembly 26 is held in its rest position by a fixed magnet 94 which cooperates with one end 96 of the vertical plate 42.
  • the other end 98 of the plate 42 is provided with a handle 100.
  • a spring return 102 tends to bring the plate 42 to its rest position when it has been brought into the close position.
  • Ball pawls 104 make it possible, for example, to temporarily keep the plate 42 in the close position, during the extraction of the objects.
  • the operator pulls the plate 42 towards him using the handle 100. In this movement, all of the objects sandwiched between the two holding plates 30 and 32 is brought closer to the operator, the edge of the objects sliding on the stacking plate 10 then in part on the transfer zone 84. In this position, the operator can easily grab the stack of objects with both hands and remove it from the stacker.
