Definitions

  • Transport device for redirecting flat items
  • the invention relates to a transport device for deflecting flat mail items according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • shipments are sorted according to various criteria. Criteria can be addresses or barcodes, for example.
  • the flat consignments are clamped in the sorting machines and transported between cover bands consisting of a lower and an upper belt. To identify the respective sorting criteria, the fertilizers are guided past special cameras. There are the
  • the deflection takes place via deflection rollers.
  • the upper belt is passed around a main drum.
  • the lower belt is guided past the main drum via a secondary drum and the consignments are requested between the upper belt and the main drum.
  • drums with large diameters can only be produced with great effort and require twice as much space with a 180 ° deflection. (Only the semicircle is required.)
  • DE 196 12 525 a further variant for realizing a deflection consists in forming a cam track from individual rollers. The flat belts are deflected by the roller curve.
  • the disadvantage here is the high costs due to the large number of rolls. A reduction in the number of rollers results in a polygon effect, which puts a lot of strain on the mail items when passing through the curve and leads to additional gap shifts. In the case of mailings with carbon paper (e.g. forms, invoices), the forms or invoices can also become illegible.
  • carbon paper e.g. forms, invoices
  • the invention specified in claim 1 is therefore based on the problem of creating an inexpensive and space-saving transport device for flat mail items for deflecting, in which the mail items are used as little as possible.
  • cover belt system which consists of an endless lower belt and an endless upper belt
  • cover belt system which consists of an endless lower belt and an endless upper belt
  • the upper belt located on the outside must travel a greater distance than the lower belt at a given transport speed. So that the resulting relative speeds can be compensated for without shifting and stressing the flat mail items, the inside running side of the upper belt is equipped with a low coefficient of friction.
  • the curve segment is designed as a circular segment.
  • the lower band is guided in the sliding surface of the guide element by means of a longitudinal groove.
  • alignment sections are arranged at the ends of the guide element in order to compensate for any inclined positions. At the same time, the pick-up and transfer of the mail items is made easier by the wider gap between the deflection rollers for the upper and lower belts.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a transport device for 180 ° deflection.
  • a lower belt 1 and an upper belt 2 are guided over a fixed guide element 3 with a smooth, low-friction sliding surface in the form of a curved segment, in this case a circular segment, and thereby deflected.
  • the lower belt 1 running inside is driven by a drive roller 5 located within the guide element 3.
  • a deflection of the lower belt 1 takes place via deflection rollers 7 in such a way that the drive roller 5 is wrapped to the extent of the lower belt 1 with the side facing the mail items 6, which has a high coefficient of friction to ensure safe and non-slip shipment transport, that a largely slip-free drive is guaranteed.
  • a certain belt tension must also be maintained.
  • the lower belt 1 Facing the guide element 3, the lower belt 1 has a low coefficient of friction, so that the lower belt 1 slips easily and without wear over the guide element 3. So that the lower belt 1 cannot run up or down on the guide element 3, it must be guided. For this reason there is a longitudinal groove in the sliding surface of the guide element 3 and the lower band 1 on the side facing the guide element 3 a longitudinal application 8 in the form of a strip which is guided in the longitudinal groove.
  • the upper belt 2, which is guided on the lower belt 1 around the guide element 3, is also driven by this.
  • the items 6 are clamped between the two. Since the items 6 have different thicknesses, but clamping must nevertheless be ensured, the upper band 2 is designed to be longitudinally elastic so that it can adapt to the different contours and also a clamping is guaranteed with changing shipment thicknesses.
  • the sliding surface of the guide element 3 has the following properties:
  • the inner side of the upper belt 2 has a low coefficient of friction. So the inevitably occurring relative speed speeds are compensated for, without claiming and shifting the programs 6.
  • the guide element 3 is not designed as a complete semicircle, but as a segment of a circle.
  • Alignment sections 8 are arranged upstream or downstream of the ends of the guide element 3. These consist of two upright baffles and an underfloor belt. At the exit or entrance of the alignment sections 8 are the deflection rollers for the upper and lower belts, these being arranged at such a distance from one another that the mail items are not clamped between the upper and lower belts, i.e. in these areas, the shipments are aligned with and transported through the underfloor belt.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transport pour dévier des envois (6) plats, transportés maintenus serrés entre une bande inférieure (1) continue et une bande supérieure (2) continue. La bande supérieure (2) est à élasticité longitudinale et est ramenée en une boucle dirigée vers l'extérieur. Selon l'invention, pour parvenir à une déviation peu coûteuse et à encombrement réduit, tout en sollicitant le moins possible les envois, la bande inférieure (1) menée est guidée sur un élément de guidage (3) immobile et localement fixe ayant une surface de glissement sous forme de segment de courbe, ladite surface de glissement ayant un coefficient de frottement inférieur à celui de la bande inférieure (1) et présentant les envois (6). Sur sa face orientée vers l'élément de guidage (3), la bande inférieure (1) présente un coefficient de frottement moindre sur la face orientée vers l'élément de guidage (3) et un coefficient de frottement plus important sur la face orientée vers la bande supérieure (2) non menée et vers les envois (6). La bande inférieure est guidée vers l'intérieur à l'aide de poulies de renvoi (7), de manière que sa face à coefficient de frottement élevé entoure d'une boucle un rouleau d'entraînement (5) disposé à l'intérieur de l'élément de guidage (3).
