Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Stapelfach für flache Sendungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Stapelfächer dieser Art finden sich häufig in Postsortieranlagen. Die Sendungen, wie z.B. Briefsendungen und Großbriefe, werden bei diesen Systemen mit geeigneten Transportsystemen den Stapelfächern über Weichen zugeführt und dort abgestapelt.The present invention relates to a stacking tray for flat ones Shipments according to the preamble of claim 1. Stacking compartments This type is often found in mail sorting systems. The Shipments such as Letters and large letters are sent to these systems with suitable transport systems fed via switches and stacked there.

Nichtmaschinenfähige Sendungen werden in einer vorgeschalteten Meßstrecke erkannt und ausgeschleust. Systeme dieser Art sollen in der Lage sein, ein möglichst breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher Sendungen zu verarbeiten; wobei das Problem darin besteht, daß sich die Unterschiedlichkeit der Sendungsparameter wie Größe, Gewicht und Oberflächenbeschaffenheit negativ auf die Stapelqualität und die störungsfreie zeitliche Aufnahmequalität der Stapelfächer auswirken kann.Shipments that are not machine-compatible are upstream Measuring section recognized and rejected. Systems of this kind should be able to offer the widest possible range of different To process shipments; being the problem is that there are differences in the shipment parameters such as size, weight and surface quality negatively on the stack quality and the trouble-free time Recording quality of the stacking compartments can affect.

Aus der EP 0 407 795 B1 wurde ein entsprechendes Stapelfach bereits bekannt. Dieses Stapelfach ist nur für ein eingeschränktes Gutspektrum von leichten und flachen Sendungen, wie z.B. Normalbriefen oder Postkarten geeignet, die mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in das Stapelfach eingeschossen werden. Die Sendungen werden dabei durch einen am Einlaßbereich schwenkbaren gelagerten Führungsbügel auf den Stapelboden bzw. schon eingestapelte Sendungen geleitet, wobei der Führungsbügel auf dem Sendungstapel aufliegt und abhängig vom Füllgrad geschwenkt wird.A corresponding stacking compartment became EP 0 407 795 B1 already known. This stacking tray is only for a limited one Good spectrum of light and flat items, such as. Suitable for normal letters or postcards with high Speed into the stacking compartment. The shipments are marked by a at the entrance area Swivel-mounted guide bracket on the stacking floor or already stacked consignments, with the guide bracket lies on the shipment stack and depends on the Filling degree is pivoted.

Der Stapelboden ist in der Kante zur in Stapelrichtung nach vorn geneigten Prallwand schwenkbar gelagert. Der Führungsbügel ist am Auflageteil so gekrümmt, daß über den Schwenkbereich der Druckpunkt einen annähernd gleichen geringen Abstand zur Prallwand aufweist. Um die Orientierung der abgestapelten Sendungen zur Seitenwand hin zu gewährleisten, ist die Prallwand zusätzlich gegenüber der Schnittkante zur Seitenwand nach innen gedreht.The stacking floor is in the edge of the stacking direction swivel-mounted baffle at the front. The guide bracket is curved on the support part so that over the swivel range the pressure point is approximately the same short distance to the baffle. To the orientation of the stacked To ensure shipments to the side wall the baffle additionally opposite the cut edge to the side wall turned inside.

Damit die einzustapelnden Sendungen bei den hohen Geschwindigkeiten nicht auf die Hinterkanten der vorauslaufenden Sendungen stoßen und Stapelfehler verursachen, darf ein Mindestwinkel, unter dem die einzustapelnde Sendung auf die vorauslaufende Sendung trifft, nicht unterschritten werden. Um dies auch bei wachsender Stapelhöhe zu gewährleisten (der Führungsbügel nähert sich immer mehr der horizontalen Lage), schwenkt der Stapelboden abhängig vom Füllungsgrad nach unten in Richtung horizontale Lage.So that the items to be stacked at high speeds not on the trailing edges of the preceding items bump and cause stacking errors, a minimum angle, under which the consignment to be stacked on the preceding one Consignment hits, must not be undercut. To do this guarantee even with increasing stack height (the guide bracket approaches the horizontal position more and more), the stacking base swings down depending on the degree of filling towards the horizontal position.

Sollen Sendungen stark unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung hinsichtlich Größe, Dicke und Gewicht bei gegenüber o.g. Lösung wesentlich geringerer Transportgeschwindigkeit in Fächer gestapelt werden, so ist das beschriebene Stapelfach nicht geeignet, da z.B. die Sendungen am Führungsbügel unterschiedlich stark abgebremst würden. Das Ergebnis wäre eine ungenügende Stapelqualität.Shipments of very different compositions should be considered Size, thickness and weight compared to the above solution much slower transport speed stacked in compartments the stacking compartment described is not suitable, because e.g. the shipments on the guide bracket differ would slow down sharply. The result would be insufficient Stacking quality.

Der in den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt deshalb das Problem zugrunde, ein Stapelfach für flache, mit geringer Transportgeschwindigkeit zugeführteThe invention specified in the features of claim 1 is therefore based on the problem of a stacking compartment for flat, fed with low transport speed

Sendungen unterschiedlicher Größe und Dicke zu schaffen, das so ausgebildet ist, daß ein sicherer, schneller und ausgerichteter Transport jeder Sendung an die Vorderkante des Stapels durch minimierte Stoßenergieverluste erreicht wird, wobei ein Aufstellen der kurzen Sendungen im Stapelfach vermieden werden muß. To create shipments of different sizes and thicknesses is designed to be a safer, faster and more aligned Transport of each shipment to the front edge of the stack is achieved through minimized impact energy losses, whereby avoid placing the short items in the stacking compartment must become.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht im Erreichen einer optimalen Stapelqualität von flachen Sendungen in einem großen Größen- und Dickenspektrum bei geringer Transportgeschwindigkeit mit geringem mechanischem Aufwand. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt:

FIG 1
eine perspektivische schematische Darstellung eines nach einer Seite offenen Stapelfaches.
The advantage of the invention consists in achieving an optimal stack quality of flat mail items in a large range of sizes and thicknesses at a low transport speed with little mechanical effort. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
FIG. 1
a perspective schematic representation of a stack compartment open to one side.

Wie der FIG 1 zu entnehmen, werden die Sendungen mit einem zur Einschußöffnung 1 geschwenkten Transportband 2 antransportiert. Gegenüber der Transportrichtung und -orientierung der Sendungen in das an einer Seite offene Stapelfach ist der mittels eines Federelementes 3 als Stellglied gehaltene bewegliche Stapelboden 4 im Leerzustand nach unten und nach rechts zur Seitenwand 5, d.h. zur in Transportrichtung hinteren rechten Ecke geneigt. Das Federelement 3 stützt sich an einer unteren, mit den übrigen Stapelfachwänden fest verbundenen unteren Platte 6 ab. Eine Prallwand 7, auf welche die Sendungen auftreffen, ist gegenüber der Lotrechten zur unteren Platte 6 nach außen geneigt. Zusätzlich ist sie zur Schnittkante mit der Seitenwand 5 nach innen gedreht. Weiterhin besitzt das Stapelfach neben einer der Prallwand 7 gegenüberliegenden Rückwand 9 einen Fachdeckel 8. Er begrenzt die Einschußöffnung 1 nach oben so, daß die dicksten Sendungen ungehindert in das Stapelfach gelangen und verläuft im ersten Teil gerade. Im weiteren Verlauf in Richtung Prallwand 7 wird der Fachdeckel 8 so nach unten gekrümmt, daß er mit seiner inneren Kontur unterhalb der oberen Begrenzung der Flugbahn der Sendungen verläuft und die Sendungen bei leerem Stapelfach so leitet, daß sie unter einem Winkel von 70°-90° zur Sendungsoberseite in dem unteren Bereich nahe der Kante zum Stapelboden 4 parallel zu dieser Kante auf die Prallwand 7 treffen. Befinden sich schon Sendungen im Stapelfach, so stoßen die
einzustapelnden Sendungen ab einer bestimmten Stapelhöhe nicht direkt auf die Prallwand 7, sondern sie treffen erst auf die oberste Sendung und gleiten dann zur Prallwand 7. Die durch den Fachdeckel 8 aufgezwungene Schrägstellung der Sendungen trägt zur Stabilisierung der Flugbahn bei und unterstützt den Luftaustritt zur geöffneten Seite.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the mail items are transported in with a conveyor belt 2 pivoted toward the entry opening 1. Compared to the transport direction and orientation of the mail items in the stacking compartment which is open on one side, the movable stacking base 4, which is held as an actuator by means of a spring element 3, is inclined downwards and to the right toward the side wall 5, ie towards the right rear corner in the transport direction. The spring element 3 is supported on a lower lower plate 6, which is firmly connected to the other stacking compartment walls. A baffle 7, on which the mail items strike, is inclined outwards with respect to the perpendicular to the lower plate 6. In addition, it is turned towards the cut edge with the side wall 5 inwards. Furthermore, the stacking compartment has, in addition to a rear wall 9 opposite the baffle wall 7, a compartment cover 8. It delimits the entry opening 1 upwards in such a way that the thickest items reach the stacking compartment unhindered and runs straight in the first part. In the further course in the direction of the baffle 7, the compartment lid 8 is curved downward so that it runs with its inner contour below the upper limit of the trajectory of the mail items and directs the mail items when the stacking compartment is empty so that they are at an angle of 70 ° -90 ° to the top of the shipment in the lower area near the edge of the stacking floor 4 parallel to this edge on the baffle 7. If there are already shipments in the stacking compartment, they come across
Consignments to be stacked from a certain stack height do not directly hit the baffle 7, but first hit the uppermost consignment and then slide to the baffle 7. The inclined position of the consignments forced by the compartment lid 8 helps to stabilize the trajectory and supports the air outlet to the open side ,

Das erfindungsgemäß ausgeführte Stapelfach gewährleistet, daß sehr unterschiedliche Sendungen bei nicht zu hoher Einschußgeschwindigkeit sicher und ausgerichtet ohne Gefahr eines Herausfallens abgestapelt werden.The stacking compartment designed according to the invention ensures that very different programs with not too high a shot speed safe and aligned with no risk of Falling out to be stacked.

Nach diesem Krümmungsbereich wird der Fachdeckel 8 so vom Stapelboden 4 weggekrümmt, daß er parallel zur Kante zwischen Stapelboden 4 und Prallwand 7 in einem Abstand zum leeren Stapelboden 4 auf die Prallwand 7 trifft, der kleiner als die Länge der kürzesten Sendung ist. Dadurch wird ein Hochstellen der kurzen Sendungen verbunden mit einer eventuellen Fach-Voll-Signalisierung vermieden. Je nach Größe des Sendungsstapels wird der von dem Federelement 3 gehaltene Stapelboden 4 nach unten geschwenkt, so daß der Abstand der obersten Sendung vom Fachdeckel 8 annähernd konstant bleibt - kleiner als die kürzeste Sendung-. Die Seitenwand 5 ist von der oberen Begrenzung aus nach außen geneigt, so daß die Sendungen bei ihrer Abwärtsbewegung durch die Seitenwand nicht behindert werden. Damit die Sendungen schnell eingestapelt werden, muß das beim Absinken der Sendungen entstehende Luftpolster möglichst schnell abgebaut werden. Aus diesem Grunde besitzt die Seitenwand 5 in der Nähe der Einschußöffnung eine Aussparung 10, durch welche die Luft schnell entweichen kann. After this area of curvature, the compartment lid 8 is so Stacked floor 4 curved away so that it is parallel to the edge between Stacking floor 4 and baffle 7 at a distance from the empty Stacking floor 4 meets the baffle 7, which is smaller than that Length of the shortest shipment is. This will be a superscript of the short programs combined with a possible full signaling avoided. Depending on the size of the batch of items the stacking base 4 held by the spring element 3 pivoted downwards so that the distance of the top shipment of the compartment lid 8 remains approximately constant - less than the shortest shipment-. The side wall 5 is from the top Limitation outward inclined so that the shipments at their downward movement is not hindered by the side wall become. So that the shipments are stacked quickly, must the air cushion created when the shipments sink, if possible be dismantled quickly. For this reason, the Side wall 5 near the entry opening a recess 10, through which the air can escape quickly.

Um ein Überlaufen des Stapelfaches zu vermeiden, ist zur Füllstandsüberwachung eine Lichtschranke 11 vorhanden. Diese ist so angeordnet, daß sie die vordere innere Ecke der obersten eingestapelten Sendung in der zu signalisierenden Stapelhöhe erfaßt. Durch diese spezielle Anordnung werden Fehlermeldungen infolge Sendungsüberlappungen im Einschußbereich vermieden.To avoid overflowing the stacking compartment, Fill level monitoring a light barrier 11 available. This is arranged so that it is the front inner corner of the top stacked shipment in the stack height to be signaled detected. Due to this special arrangement, error messages are generated due to shipment overlaps in the bullet area avoided.

Zur Erleichterung der manuellen Entleerung der Stapelfächer können die Stapelböden zusätzlich mit einer Griffmulde versehen werden, so daß der Operateur ohne Schwierigkeit den Sendungsstapel greifen kann.To facilitate manual emptying of the stacking compartments can also provide the stacking shelves with a recessed grip be so that the operator can easily stack the shipment can grab.
