Definitions

  • the on mail items such as letters, postcards, packages and the like, as a key figure for a location, a delivery area, a mailbox or a bulk recipient, machine-readable postcodes enable quick automatic distribution of mail.
  • Sorting the incoming Postal items are, for example, controlled General cargo carriers operating in special loading areas with each loaded with a mail item, and this mail item then to one assigned to the respective zip code Hand in the sorting container or a corresponding sorting compartment. Because the sorting containers or bins in different Levels can be arranged on the conveyors encircling general cargo carriers, if necessary, also various Can bridge high altitudes.
  • the empty general cargo carriers when passing a loading area again with a mail item be loaded.
  • the general cargo carriers are loaded for example with the help of a rotating impeller, the Wing cells form that are already isolated and open receive incoming mail from a conveyor and receive it deliver the circulating general cargo carriers.
  • the isolation and the delivery of the mail to the leading to the impeller Conveying device can be made with the help of a rotor be, its radially adjustable and pivotally arranged Suction gripper that provided in the pick-up position of a magazine Take postage and after a rotation of the Transfer the rotor to the conveyor. More details such a device for separating and Handing over of postal items, go for example from the patent application P 44 24 944.6.
  • Those serving to receive and provide the mail Magazines have an L-shaped guide profile, in which the incoming mail is stacked by Hand inserted and with the help of a feed device Direction is moved to a front pickup position.
  • Allowing the mail to be stacked is two spaced swords provided, the moved on a guide towards the pick-up position become.
  • the front sword is then just before the pick-up position swung out, driven back on a second guide and then in the rear position again in the guide profile swung in.
  • GB-A-917 754 is a sword on a separate guide arranged so that the two swords alternately swung out and can be driven back. In both cases is the space requirement of the magazines with regard to training and Swinging in the swords very large. It would also be a automatic swinging in and out and moving the swords can only be implemented with a considerable amount of automation.
  • the invention specified in claim 1 is the problem based on a simply constructed and reliably functioning Magazine for holding and providing stackable To create general cargo that is only for its installation takes up little space.
  • the magazine is intended in particular for the receipt and delivery of thin letters with different Formats.
  • a magazine according to the invention can be found in public post offices or in house mail centers of large companies for reception and for Provision of postal items can be used. Furthermore can also magazines according to the invention, for example, in Picking machines used for comparable tasks which stackable general cargo is picked up in magazines and be made available for subsequent separation should.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the insert of the piece goods in the guide profile required space with simple means through an L-shaped cross section Loading device can be created, provided that this Loading device with a front holding device for the general cargo in the guide profile and with a rear holding device for the new to be introduced General cargo is equipped.
  • This loading device has the Advantage that they are due to the already existing feed device is driven, and that they are to hand over the entered General cargo only withdrawn to the guide profile must become. This retraction in the guide profile can also can be automated with little effort.
  • the embodiment according to claim 2 enables simple Medium and with minimal space requirements, the feed of the piece goods and the loading device in the direction of the front Pick-up position of the magazine.
  • the training according to claim 3 enables without any additional effort to hold the stacked in the guide profile General cargo through the front face of the loading device. Should this end face for example for one secure hold of thin general cargo with low rigidity are not sufficient, the front holding device can according to Claim 4 by a pivotable on the loading device attached arm be formed. This arm is then in front of the Retracting the loading device swung out and after the Transfer of the piece goods to the guide profile again.
  • Figure 1 shows a highly simplified schematic representation a magazine for holding and providing stackable General cargo.
  • the stackable general cargo is in the illustrated embodiment with thin letters different formats, but only in Figure 1 indicated by a dash-dotted line as stack ST1 are.
  • An essential part of the magazine is a cross-section L-shaped guide profile FP, which in the in Figure 1 example shown by an angle ⁇ of 12 ° from the left rises to the right.
  • the right leg of the L-shaped guide profile FP is at an angle ⁇ of 60 ° to the horizontal inclined. Accordingly, the left leg of the L-shaped Guide profile FP to the horizontal by an angle ⁇ of 30 ° inclined.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show the magazine shown in Figure 1 in the top view or in longitudinal section. It it can be seen that the one indicated by an arrow in FIG VE feed device through parallel to the legs of the guide profile FP running conveyor belts FB1 and FB2 is formed. Transport these conveyor belts FB1 and FB2 that stacked in the guide profile FP and individually in FIG. 3 General cargo S shown in the direction of the pick-up position AP, the gradual transport through a height the pick-up position AP controlled light barrier LS controlled becomes.
  • the Cross section also L-shaped loading device BE the a front holding device HV1 for that already in the guide profile FP stacked piece goods S and a rear holding device HH for the new general cargo S to be brought in.
  • the front holding device HV1 is replaced by the front one End face of the loading device BE formed, on which the stack ST1 is supported.
  • the loading device BE in the same way as the stack ST1 through the conveyor belts FB1 and FB2 of the feed device VE (compare Figure 1) towards the front, upper pick-up position AP postponed.
  • the new general cargo S can be stacked by hand be introduced until the stack thus formed ST2 fills the loading device BE. Then the newly introduced one Stack ST2 in the direction of arrow Pf1, for example pushed forward with one hand and the entire loading device BE withdrawn in the guide profile FP, whereby the Pass stack ST2 to the guide profile FP and then through the front holding device HV1 is held. The loading device BE can then be stacked again with general cargo S be loaded.
  • front holding device HV1 In the event that through the front face of the loading device BE formed front holding device HV1 none secure hold and feed of the piece goods in front S guaranteed, can also have a second front Holding device HV2 can be used.
  • This second front Holding device HV2 is pivotable on the loading device BE attached arm formed. Before the loading device BE for handing over the stack ST2 to the guide profile FP is withdrawn, the second front holding device HV2 pivoted outward in the direction of arrow Pf2 become. After the complete handover, the second front holding device HV2 then again in the in Figure 2 shown pivoted back.
