Definitions

  • edges pointing in the forward direction i.e. H. the leading edges of the mailpieces in the stack lie more or less close to a stop wall 40 which, in relation to the take-off belt 25, leaves a gap that allows the mailpieces to pass through, that is, the stack exit.
  • a light barrier 73/73 'with light sources 73 monitoring the detection area of the conveyor rollers 43 and 44 is provided.
  • the consignments are deducted in two stages, the position of the consignment to be withdrawn compared to that
  • the deduction process of a consignment to be deducted is regulated on the basis of information about its own course of action, so that the influence of properties of the previous consignment that has already been deducted on the deduction process of the consignment that has just been withdrawn can be eliminated
  • the shipment is accelerated to a reduced take-off speed, hereinafter referred to as the intermediate speed, for example half the final speed, and the take-off is started when there is already a discernible gap to the previous item that has already been taken off This gap must be so large that it can be increased to the target distance after the start.
  • the position of the mailpiece to be drawn off at the moment the start of the pulling-off process ie the distance from the strips 120 to be taken over, can be taken into account.
  • the difference between the intermediate speed value and the predetermined top speed can also be taken into account.
  • the current distance between the two shipments is monitored after the start of the deduction process. As soon as the desired distance between the mail items is reached, which is essentially the same as the minimum distance that can still be processed in downstream devices, is accelerated to the final speed. It is then only necessary to accelerate to the difference between the intermediate speed value and the final speed value. This is faster and with less uncertainty than the acceleration to the final speed value.
  • the current distance is monitored with the aid of the light barriers and a line cycle for the conveyor belts 120.
  • the condition for starting the removal process is preferably that at least one light barrier of the measuring section 100/100 'is no longer darkened.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande d'un dispositif permettant d'extraire des envois postaux plats en fonction de la distance séparant l'envoi postal à extraire d'un envoi postal déjà extrait. Selon ce procédé, la distance réelle séparant l'envoi postal à extraire de l'envoi postal déjà extrait est déterminée et l'opération d'extraction intervient dès que la distance réelle correspond à une distance théorique. Selon l'invention, pour réduire la différence entre l'interstice moyen entre les envois postaux et l'interstice minimal, l'envoi postal est d'abord accéléré pour atteindre une valeur de vitesse intermédiaire qui est inférieure à celle d'une vitesse finale prédéterminée. Dès que la distance réelle correspond à la distance théorique, l'envoi postal est accéléré pour atteindre la vitesse finale.
