Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for positioning flat objects transported in the container with straight sides become.
  • a solution has been known in which in a buffer the objects go horizontally into a pocket as a container (DE 196 24 968.6). There are for braking and positioning resilient sloping plates in the pocket during this process, whereby the objects are braked and pinched. Here the objects are exposed to high mechanical loads, which can lead to destruction of sensitive objects. Because the objects have different thickness and mass their aligned position in the pocket is not possible. The provision of a paragraph in the sheet to fix the Location stresses the objects too much because of the kinetic energy must be destroyed immediately without damping.
  • the invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem flat objects of different mass and thickness in In the course of the transport process at high speed in one Containers with straight sides by preventing an uncontrolled Backward movement of objects due to ricocheting to bring the flapper gently into a certain end position.
  • the force acting against a limit generated by a spring element acting on the rigid body engages according to claim 3 to the rigid body, an attenuator on.
  • the baffle plate Execute container so that the kinetic energy of the flat Objects is at least reduced.
  • the pivoting range of the rigid body by means of a stop to limit so that the very light, thin and sensitive Objects with the help of an advantageous guide Claim 9 directly without touching the rigid body Baffle plate.
  • the baffle plate is according to claim 7 so designed that the kinetic energy of these light objects is approximately neutralized.
  • the baffle plate has according to claim 8, an elastic surface and / or a sprung and cushioned storage.
  • the container with to provide a lateral recess through which the on the Loading station permanently installed rigid body and if necessary the Project the guiding device into the container so that it can pivot.
  • each for a stacking compartment provided guide device that the objects in guides the stacking compartment, a rigid body pivoted so that when moving backwards a clamping of the object he follows. This makes it clean for further processing Batch image reached.
  • the flat objects 6 are horizontal in FIG 1 from the left through a transport system upright at high speed a laterally open, locally fixed container 1 transported.
  • the flat objects 6 are braked in this container 1 and aligned. Then the objects 6 fall braked via an opening mechanism in the bottom of the container 1 in shipping containers, the objects 6 horizontally, however Transport into container 1 perpendicular to the movement.
  • the range of variation of the objects is relatively large. she ranges from thin, sensitive letters to compact packages with magazines.
  • a Spring damping mechanism 10 attached to the bouncing Item 6 causes the baffle 7 damped springs back.
  • This movable baffle 7 with the spring damping mechanism 10 was dimensioned so that the light letters be braked without damage, without any significant Rebound movement takes place.
  • the thicker and heavier objects 6 hit the rigid body 2 and push it against the force of the damped Spring element 11 to the side so that the object to the flapper reached.
  • the rigid body 2 touches the object 6 its long side and presses it against the closed long side of container 1 or against one already in container 1 located object. The damping makes unwanted Avoided vibrations.
  • the object bounces against the baffle plate 7 due to its Kinetic energy back, so it becomes between the rigid body 2 and the container wall or the already existing object trapped due to self-locking.
  • the location of the pivot bearing 3 the length of the rigid body 2 and the swivel range selected so that during transport in the Container 1 the points of contact between object 6 and stare Body 2 always behind the pivot bearing 3 in the transport direction and when moving backward, the point of contact between rigid body 2 and object 6 in front of the pivot bearing 3 lies backwards in the transport direction.
  • the rigid body 2 on the loading opening of the container 1 facing One side with a Teflon coating and one with the clamp effective side a rubber coating.
  • FIG. 2 shows stacking compartments 20 of a mail item sorting machine shown in a side view.
  • the shipments in the respective Stacking tray 20 passed.
  • the baffles 22 are on the Stack up and thus approach more and more a horizontal one Position, the fuller the stacking bin 20 is. So the shipments assume a defined stacking position in the stacking compartment 20 and Backward movements are avoided on the shipments opposite side of the guide plates 22, a support 23 is attached.
  • a rigid body 24 is pivotable at the end of this support 23 attached by a slot in the baffle 22 through his Gravity rests on the top shipment.
