Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the automatic loading of the material input of a processing system according to the preamble of claim 1
  • the object of the invention specified in claim 1 is to automate the charging process of adding a material to a feeder system so that no manual activities are necessary
  • the loading module preferably has a receiving mechanism attached to a swiveling device for receiving the mail container.
  • the filled mail containers are swiveled in a swiveling motion onto the letter acceptance between the separating knives of the separating knife arrangement
  • the letter holder advantageously has a ruttier for aligning the letters
  • the spacing of the 2 separating knives of the separating knife arrangement can be changed in an advantageous lining.
  • the two door knives move together until the stack of letters exerts a certain pressure on the knife knives
  • Feeding module preferably fed on a conveyor belt and also removed again by the loading module.
  • the letter transport track has a conveyor belt between the letter holder and the separating device, which conveyor belt moves synchronously with the pivoted-in separating knife and with the pivoted-in separating knife of the stripping knife arrangement. when they lead the stack of bins to the isolation device
  • the letter transport spell is fixed, but is made of a material with a low coefficient of friction
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the device with the stack of pens on the holder
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the arrangement shortly before the stack of pens is taken over by the simple measuring knife
  • the mail container 6 filled with mail items arrives via a conveyor belt 2 (not shown in more detail) as a feed path to the loading module A
  • Pick-up mechanism 9 designed as a parallel gripper, centers the mail container
  • the mail container 6 is rotated 180 degrees with a swivel device 12 so that the bendings do not fall out of the mail container 6 during the turning process, the inertia of the stack of letters 7 is used and the rotation is carried out with a relatively large acceleration
  • Schwenkvor ⁇ chtung 12 turns back after emptying and sets the empty mail container 6 back on the feed route.
  • the conveyor belt of the infeed section continues one transport step until a full container is again in the gripping position.
  • the bevel tape 7 located in the mail container 6 falls on a letter holder 10 between the separating knives of the separating knife arrangement 5 (FIG. 1). Due to the rapid rotation, the letters located in the stack 7 are partially aligned with the lower edge. A weathered edge alignment takes place via shaking / vibrating in the receptacle 10 within the two separating knives.
  • Separating knife arrangement 5 pushes the aligned letter stack between the two separating knives up to shortly before the simple separating knife 4, which moves at a speed V1 towards the separating device 1.
  • a sensor on the simple separating knife 4 reports via a signal from the control 11 that the separating knife arrangement 5 is tight is located behind the simple cutting knife 4
  • the speed V1 is predetermined by the controller 11.
  • the necessary feed rate is regulated by the controller 11 via a pressure sensor of the singling device 1 in accordance with the selected stack pressure
  • the simple separating knife pivots 100 degrees out of the transported stack of letters and moves behind the separating knife arrangement 5, which moves further at the speed V1 (see FIG. 2).
  • the sensor on the simple separating knife 4 signals the exact stop position behind the two separating knives of the separating knife arrangement 5
  • the simple separating knife 4 swings in close to the separating knife arrangement 5
  • the two separating knives of the separating knife arrangement 5 swing out and move back to the starting position, while the simple separating knife 4 continues to move at the speed V1.
  • the pick-up mechanism realized with a gripper is suitable for mail containers 6 of different sizes.
  • the distance between the two separating knives of the separating knife arrangement 5 can be changed for mail containers 6 of different sizes and can additionally be controlled via a pressure measurement, so that the distance of the separating knives is set in such a way that the mail knives are only partially filled so that they correspond to the real ones
  • the stack measurement corresponds to the pressure measurement in the simplest case via an adjustable spring force and a contact that is triggered with a certain spring travel

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif possédant non seulement une lame de séparation qui peut pivoter entre une position relevée et rabattue et qui peut se déplacer dans le sens de transport à une vitesse réglée par la pression d'empilage du dispositif de séparation (1) et reculer à nouveau, mais aussi un ensemble qui peut se déplacer de façon linéaire également dans le sens de transport, et reculer à nouveau et qui peut pivoter entre une position relevée et rabattue sur la voie de transport du courrier. Cet ensemble présente deux lames de séparation. En outre, un module permet le chargement automatique du courrier dans le dispositif. Après chargement du courrier dans l'ensemble doté de deux lames de séparation, cet ensemble s'approche de la lame de séparation unique. Cette dernière passe derrière les deux lames de séparation qui se déplacent alors aussi à une vitesse réglée par la pression d'empilement sur le dispositif de séparation (1) puis se rabat à nouveau. Ensuite, les lames de séparation de l'ensemble à lames de séparation passent dans leur position finale pour prendre de nouvelles lettres et la lame de séparation unique transporte les lettres vers le dispositif de séparation.
