Definitions
- the present invention relates to a destacker for removing a envelope in a stack and deliver it open.
- Document US-A-2 267 574 discloses a destacker comprising a frame; means for storing a stack of envelopes, folded flaps; means for extracting an envelope from the bottom of the stack; and means for driving the envelope extracted on an upstream path downstream, in a direction of advance.
- the object of the invention is to improve the known destackers with in particular greater compactness and simplification of the organs mechanical in play.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a unstacking device and opening envelopes from a stack of envelopes with folded flaps, having the features of appended claim 1.
- wedge-shaped deflector is meant that the wedge shape, of preferably rounded, allows the deflector to deflect the flap when the the envelope, and authorizes its unfolding.
- said extraction means comprise a endless band disposed at the bottom of the storage means and cooperating with a extraction space left at the bottom of a wall of said storage means.
- the extraction means can cooperate with separating means envelopes, arranged downstream, and for example made of nested rollers arranged on either side of the envelope path and rotating in the same meaning.
- the first and second means drive consist of antagonistic rollers in mutual support.
- the first and second means are preferably combined in the same said rollers, driven by a bidirectional motor.
- This mobile component also preferably participates following the treatment of the envelope, in particular its fitting on fingers inserting machine itself, arranged downstream of the envelope path.
- This movable flap and the insertion fingers are particularly described in document WO-A-95/16578 to which we report to.
- the destacker of the invention advantageously includes a device envelope stacker, which can be monitored for commissioning by detection means so as to activate the operation of the destacker.
- the envelope destacker has a frame or structure main formed by plates 1 and 1 'and a number of spacers 2.
- the storage area for envelopes includes the vertical sheet 3 and the horizontal support sheet 4.
- the envelopes 5 are placed in a stack on the two extraction belts without end 6 and 6 'whose upper strand slightly exceeds the plane of the sheet 4.
- a cylindrical presser 7 is applied to the top of the pile envelopes; two cables 9 and 9 'passing around the return rod 11 and winding on the shaft 10.
- the presence of the cylindrical presser 7 on the top of the envelope stack 5 is detected by a contactor 12.
- a the pierced tab of the contactor 12 is crossed by the cable 9.
- the envelope separation device comprises rollers 13 mounted on a shaft 14 and pairs of rollers 15 mounted on the shaft 16. Each roller 13 penetrates slightly into the pair of rollers 5 associated with so that an envelope can pass between said rollers by undulating slightly.
- the drive device comprises rollers 17 mounted on the shaft 18 and rollers 19 mounted on the shaft 20.
- the rollers 17 are in contact with the rollers 19.
- the belts 6 and 6 'and the rollers 13, 15 and 19 are set in motion by the bidirectional motor 21 via of the pulley-belt assembly 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
- the means for opening the flap include the fixed deflector wedge-shaped 31 and the movable flap 32.
- the movable flap 32 is controlled by the electromagnet 33 by means of the rod 34.
- the flap 32 In the position of rest, shown by arrow 35, the flap 32 is, under the action of return spring 37, in contact with the stop 36.
- the electromagnet 33 moves the movable flap 32 to the lower position shown by arrow 38.
- An optical barrier composed of the emitting cell 39 and the receiving cell 40, informs the control unit of the passage of the envelope in front of the cells.
- the control unit therefore takes reference the passage of the hinge of the envelope at the level of this barrier and knows at all times the position of the envelope in the mechanism since the motor 21 is a so-called servo actuator (stepper motor, direct current motor with encoder ...)
- the device is in the starting position.
- the casing presser 7 is brought to the high position by the motor 8 by the cables 9 and 9 '.
- the cables are therefore stretched and the contactor 12 is found closed.
- the latter informs the control unit that the presser is is in the high position and the device can receive a packet envelopes to be unstacked.
- the package of envelopes 5 is then put in place manually by the operator or automatically by a mechanical system not part of the invention. Envelopes are stacked in contact with the vertical sheet 3 with their flaps positioned at the front in position high. With the envelopes in place, the cylindrical presser 7 is lowered in contact with the top of the stack of envelopes via the motor 8 and cables 9 and 9 '.
- the contactor 12 changes state and indicates to the control unit that the presser 7 is in pressure on the stack of envelopes 5.
- the motor 21 is then rotated this which has the effect of setting in motion the mechanical organs which are its linked, in particular the 6 and 6 'extraction and transport belts and the separation assembly 13 and 15.
- the envelope being in contact with the belts 6 and 6 'is driven towards the separator 13, 15.
- a few envelopes accompany it.
- the accompanying envelopes the lower envelope remains blocked at the height of the separator by the action of the roller 13 opposing by their rotation to their advance.
- the lower envelope can cross the separator because it is directly in contact with the belts 6 and 6 'transport and thus has a great power of drive.
- FIG 4 shows the next step. Transporting the envelope 5 continues. The latter is taken into account by the rollers 17 and 19 then passes in front of the optical barrier formed by the cells 39 and 40.
- the hinge stop of the casing 5 slides along the fixed deflector 31 then meets the movable deflector 32.
- the casing 5 is strongly curving, the envelope flap peels off of the latter when it is no longer in contact with the fixed deflector 31. Because the length of envelope flap is known, control unit knows which displacement must carry out the envelope 5 since its passage in front of the optical barrier 39 and 40 so that the envelope flap peels off completely from the body of the envelope.
- FIG. 5 shows the next step.
- the rotation of the motor 21 is reversed.
- the body of the envelope is partially stored under the stack envelope.
- the detached flap slides along the vertical part of the deflector 31.
- FIG. 6 shows the next step.
- the mobile deflector 32 is then brought into the high position shown by arrow 35 by stopping the control of the electromagnet 33.
- the casing 5 continuing to retreat, the flap opens under the action of the rounded corner end of the fixed deflector 31.
- the control unit stops the reverse of the motor 21.
- Figure 7 shows the next step.
- the mobile deflector 32 is returned to the low position.
- the motor 21 is then started before: the envelope moves to the left.
- the flap which is at the head of this displacement, is deflected downwards by the movable deflector 32 then passes under the fingers 41 for receiving the dynamic insertion system not not part of the invention.
- This system can in particular be that described by the US-A-5 410 860 whose fingers 1-1 'correspond to fingers 41 of Figure 7 of the present invention.
- Figure 8 shows the final step.
- the mobile deflector 32 is brought back to the high position shown by arrow 35 by the action of the electromagnet 33.
- the deflection of the envelope 5 ceases; which allows the latter to half-open and to put on the fingers 41 for receiving the system dynamic insertion.
- the cycle is then finished.
