Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for automatically determining the weight of postal items according to the preamble of patent claim 1
  • the weight of flat, flexible and easily tearable objects of different lengths for example C6 letters, DL letters, C5 letters, postcards, which are transported as a continuous stream, must be determined for various purposes without the weight Objects are stopped or delayed Difficulties can arise from the fact that the weight of the postal items should always be determined precisely and safely even when the postal items are transported at high speeds, for example above a speed of 2 m / s. Even at these speeds, the postal items are not allowed Be damaged In addition, it is necessary that the postal items largely maintain their relative position to one another in a continuous stream. In particular, the gaps between the postal items should not be changed by the weight determination
  • the device according to the invention enables a higher total throughput of mail pieces with higher weighing accuracy and operational reliability.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a device according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a detailed representation of the transport by an inventive
  • FIG. 3 shows the layout for a device according to the invention with two weighing systems
  • the mail pieces are fed to a transport path TS with a feed device 1, the mail pieces being permanently grasped during the transport. This has the consequence that each individual piece of the mail item preceding and following in the transport path TS is fixed.
  • the feed device 1 is preferably via the transport path TS to a distribution device 3 connected.
  • the mail pieces are distributed in this distribution device 3 over a number of transport paths TS and fed to the weighing systems WSi, WS 2 WS N.
  • the mail pieces are also permanently gripped and transported in these transport paths TS Within the weighing systems WSi, WS 2 .
  • the mailpieces are also permanently gripped and transported, and then transport paths TS 'are handed over and fed via these transport paths TS ' to a combining device 4.
  • the mailpieces are then fed to a rejecting device 2. Since the mailpieces are permanently gripped and transported in the transport paths and the weighing systems , the relative distance of the mail items to one another in the mail flow when they are fed to the device according to the invention is the same as when they are discharged
  • FIG. 2 shows that, according to the invention, the transport paths and the weighing systems have cover belt systems between which the mail items are clamped and transported.
  • a cover belt system consists of two parallel belts which are guided over transport rollers and drive rollers 5 - 12.
  • Post pieces are used in all transport systems TS, TS ' weighing systems WSi,.
  • WSN is transported at the same predetermined speed so that no additional acceleration or braking forces occur at the transition points between transport paths and weighing systems.
  • Each transport path preferably has a drive unit DU which is rigidly connected to a central drive D e.g. is connected to a motor, so that the mail pieces are transported at exactly the same speed in all transport paths, both behind and in front of the weighing systems, although this speed itself is variable.
  • the drive D is switched on and off and a possible speed control is carried out by a control unit CU.
  • each weighing system therefore has a control unit CUi, CU 2 , CU N , to which a signal from a speed sensor SS is supplied as a measure of the speed of the transport paths TS or TS ' .
  • Each system also has a sensor SS i, SS 2 SS N with which the local transport speed in the weighing system is determined.
  • the signal from these local speed sensors SSi, SS 2 SS N is sent to the local control units CUi, CU 2 .
  • Each weighing system also has a local drive Dj, D 2 .D N , which is controlled by the control unit CUi, CU 2 CU N on the speed of the transport paths TS, TS ' .
  • This enables the mail pieces to be transferred from the transport paths TS to the weighing systems or from the weighing systems to the transport paths TS ' without speed differences occurring, even if the device has to be switched off at any time during operation
  • the method of operation of the device according to the invention is as follows. Post pieces are fed via the feed device 1 of the device according to the invention, first pass through an input sensor IS, e.g. a light barrier that registers each piece of mail and forwards it to the control unit CU.
  • the speed sensor SS determines the speed of the input sensor IS.
  • Entry speed of the mail pieces in the transport path TS This also enables the control unit CU to track each mail piece as it passes through the device, since the location of each mail piece can be determined over time by integration.
  • the mail pieces are fed as a continuous stream to the distribution device 3 and distributed to the weighing systems WSi to WS N.
  • the individual weighing systems are mechanically decoupled from the rest of the device, so that their function is not impaired.
  • the mail pieces are fed to the transport paths TS ' and brought together again in the combining device 4 to form a continuous stream which leaves the device via the discharge device 2
  • Each weighing system WSi or WS 2 is located on a base plate 13 or 14, each mechanically decoupled from the other device
  • the weighing system has a shroud system 15 or 16, from which the items are transported during the weight determination.
  • the feed device 1 also has cover belt systems.
  • a switch is used as the distribution device 3, onto which the mail items are each guided via a first or second transport path 17 or 18. These transport paths are also realized by cover belt systems.
  • the mail pieces are transferred to transport paths 19, 20, which transport the mail pieces to the combining device 4. These transport paths as well as the combining device are also implemented as shroud systems.
  • the transfer points between the transport paths and the weighing systems are preferably realized by staggered transport rollers, so that on the one hand a secure transfer of the mail items is made possible, and on the other hand the weighing system is mechanically decoupled from the rest of the device.
  • the weighing systems themselves initially have the features specified above, i.e. One drive each, one control device, one speed sensor and one transport route in which the mail items are permanently transported.
  • one of the various known weighing principles is used to carry out the actual weighing process in the weighing systems.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de détermination automatique du poids d'envois postaux, qui comprend un dispositif d'amenée et un dispositif de canalisation (1, 2) pour les envois postaux, ainsi qu'un nombre de systèmes de pesée (WS1, ..., Wsn). Pour mesurer un flux continu d'envois postaux, il est prévu selon l'invention de raccorder le dispositif d'amenée (1) à un dispositif de répartition (3). Un nombre de voies de transport (TS) sont reliées au dispositif de répartition (3) et permettent d'acheminer les envois postaux jusqu'aux systèmes de pesée (WS1, ..., Wsn). Il est prévu d'autres voies de transport (TS') grâce auxquelles les envois postaux peuvent ensuite être acheminés à un dispositif réunisseur (4) et au dispositif de canalisation (2). Les envois postaux sont transportés maintenus en permanence dans les voies de transport (TS, TS') et les systèmes de pesée (WS1, ..., Wsn).
