Definitions
- the invention relates to an intermediate store for narrow goods according to the preamble of claim 1.
- It preferably serves as a buffer for parcels, large letters, magazines, etc., which are fed to a sorter via a substance input and reading station, and is arranged between the exit of the reading station and the sorter.
- This creates a time buffer which temporarily stores the goods until the addresses scanned in the reading station have been decoded in the reading electronics or addresses which have not been read completely have been decrypted manually in a video coding station. The goods are entered into the storage regardless of their output, but the order is retained.
- the containers are transported via separately driven chains.
- the coupling of the containers into the chains is very subject to wear.
- the chains are driven by stepper motors and asynchronous motors and require a high level of control.
- the entire system is subject to high dynamic loads due to the start-stop operation
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a corresponding memory which has a low drive expenditure and has only a few wear parts According to the invention, the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. In contrast to the prior art, only an endless, continuously rotating traction means is used.
- a complex drive solution Multiple traction devices, start-stop operation by means of stepper drives with strong dynamic loads are avoided with the help of the containers that can be specifically coupled and uncoupled
- the coupling and decoupling of the container to the traction device with a magnetically conductive surface is wear-resistant via movable magnets.
- the coupling of the container to the traction means is positive, which ensures a secure, non-slip connection.
- a further advantageous coupling variant is a non-positive connection, e.g. by means of clamping.
- the containers So that the goods are not damaged during the lateral loading of the containers in the loading station, the containers have at least one recess on each of the two large longitudinal sides.
- resilient, oblique plates are attached to the containers so that the containers with their recesses can pass through these plates unhindered.In the loading position, the plates protrude into the recesses of the container so that the side into the Bumped goods hit the sloping metal sheets for braking. When driving on, due to the locally fixed metal sheets, the clamping of the goods is released.
- the containers have in one of the large-area long sides a recess extending up to an open narrow side, through which at the unloading station for safe removal of the goods a suction head unloader detects them and removes them horizontally from the containers.
- each container at least one resilient braking and clamping plate with a externally protruding unlocking extension is arranged obliquely so that the goods are braked and clamped during loading.
- the braking and clamping plates are temporarily deflected against their clamping direction so that the goods can move freely So that the goods always assume a certain position after loading in the loading direction, the sloping plates according to patent claims 5 and 7 have an advantageous embodiment according to patent claim 8 paragraphs at which the movement of the goods is ended.
- the containers have identifiers which are read and fed to the control. This avoids time-consuming tracking of the goods.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective schematic diagram
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a container with a guide and coupling
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the container with a guide and coupling
- Fig. 4 is a side view of the container with a guide and coupling
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a container at the loading station with locally fixed, resilient sheets
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of a container at the loading station with locally fixed resilient sheets
- FIG. 7 is a schematic representation of a non-positive a) and a positive coupling mechanism b)
- FIG. 8 shows a schematic illustration of a container with a braking and clamping plate and an unlocking mechanism at the unloading station.
- the containers 5 are driven transversely to their longitudinal direction by an endless traction center that is continuously driven by two deflection rollers 7, one of them! 6 transported.
- the middle of the train! In this example, 6 consists of a steel strip.
- the containers 5 are open laterally and at the top. The entry and exit takes place at the designated positions in the horizontal direction indicated. If it is necessary for certain goods to be stored for at least one round, it is advantageous to close the container at the top. If the entry and exit are only to be carried out on one side, it is sufficient if the containers are open on only one side.
- the leadership of each container 5 is carried out via four rollers 1, which are arranged one above the other in two levels. These rollers 1 run in corresponding rails of the base frame. The leadership in two levels was chosen to be as tight as possible
- Permanent magnets 2 are engaged by lowering by means of gravity and magnetic attraction to the traction means 6.
- the respective container 5 is disengaged by lifting the magnets 2
- the magnet or magnets 2 are mounted or shaped so that they on the straight ahead and cornering
- the coupling mechanism can also be realized by a clamping device according to FIG. 7a, in which a self-reinforcing clamping force is caused by the
- Uncoupling of the container 5 is, according to FIG. 7b, a latching mechanism which, when latched in, has a positive connection with the traction means 6, the corresponding latching positions
- the containers 5 running in the guides are automatically taken along by the continuously rotating traction means 6
- a container 5 is stopped by switching means at the loading station.
- the subsequent containers 5 run onto this stopped container 5 and are also decoupled from the driving traction means 6 and are therefore stopped. If one wants to avoid that all subsequent containers 5 come up at this point, one can switch on At another point, for example at the lower part of a deflection roller 7, provide a further switching element in order to provide an intermediate stop at this point if necessary
- a good is shot into the foremost container 5 at the loading station and after the successful loading has been registered, e.g. by means of a light barrier, the switching element is actuated and the container 5 is coupled to the traction means 6 again by lowering the magnets 2 and transported further thereby also coupled one after the other and transported onward.
- the foremost container 5 is stopped at the loading station by the switching element, which has again assumed the stop position, and a loading process becomes like Executed as described
- the loaded container 5, which has left the loading station is meanwhile transported on until it hits a switching element of the unloading station or previously a container 5 that is already standing.
- the goods are discharged by means of a suction head unloader , which grips the goods through a recess in the container side wall and transports them away. After this process, the switching element releases the empty container 5 and the next container moves. The empty container 5 is meanwhile transported to the loading station
- each container is equipped with corresponding braking and clamping plates 10, which have an unlocking extension 11 guided to the outside.
- the goods are decelerated. and clamping plates 10 fixed
- the stop and clamping plates 10 are deflected counter to the clamping direction by a stop 12 which engages in the unlocking extension 11 and thus release the material.
- the unloading process can then be carried out (FIG. 8).
