Definitions

  • the invention relates, according to the title, to a sorting machine automatic envelopes and small packages, having a high rate of selection and / or sorting and precision absolute, constituting a real innovation in the concept technology developed for this type of machine.
  • the machine is a mixture of electro-computer solutions and mechanical where we get a solution exact and satisfactory to the problem posed by handling automatic of very small volume and very low weight, as can be the case with a simple letter where only the envelope and the content are involved.
  • the prototype according to the invention was developed for sort a mayenne of 5,200 packages or pieces per hour, with simultaneous distribution to 52 containers or baskets collectors.
  • the machine according to the invention is developed linearly. She has in mind, a power module manual or automatic; a label reader module identification of the letter or parcel; the battery of output modules and said actuation module.
  • Mail sorting systems installed in postal services are manifold and the means used to said sorting are various; as well as the systems for the storage, selection and sorting of goods, especially letters and small parcels are numerous.
  • the main idea of the invention is the resolution of the instability problem of small volume goods and light weight on the conveyor by drive open surface preventing them from losing contact, on the training surface.
  • An idea of the invention is the realization of transport sequential and continuous and sorting by vertical drop of two sides of the machine, these being sequenced by means an alternative computer programmed distributor and electronically controlled.
  • One idea of the invention is that the distributor operates bilaterally allowing the sorting to be doubled in the same machine module by reducing it to half the extent of it.
  • An idea of the invention is to provide these operations with original electro-mechanical solutions.
  • the fixed transport surface is extent from one end to the other of the machine from the power module to the actuation module and it constitutes the table thereof.
  • This table is essentially a static surface integrated by a set or battery of longitudinal profiles equidistant and aligned parallels.
  • the profiles are grooved elements, preferably with a U-shaped section or any other section, arranged with the part open upwards, its open edges being the surface for transporting goods, envelopes or small packages.
  • This special arrangement and the effect of air ducting allows air circulation and the centripetal effect of the drive speed of the means of transport, acts as an absorbent effect by creating a force centrifugal, small but sufficient, to set up the letter or small packages on the transport surface.
  • the bristles partially penetrate into the canals of profiles, avoiding brushing the bottom of them.
  • the silks easily entrain the lamellar goods, the envelopes, letters or the like such as these and the transverse racket where they are mounted, also in metal profile, carry the rest of the larger packages and heavier.
  • the said transport surface for fluted profiles is cross-divided and equidistant or spaced in sorting sections integrated by opening flaps automatic opening simultaneously and with precision absolute, when passing the transport racket resulting in a commodity whose coding was initially read and programmed to open the assigned sorting shutter in agreement to said coding.
  • the flaps open the sorting section in the direction of the descent, discharging vertically and facilitating instantly drop the goods in the cell output module.
  • the flaps according to the invention are fins of baffle opening angularly, downwards, by the effect of corresponding mechanisms, preferably pneumatic, located laterally in the body of the machine bench.
  • the fins have the corresponding sections of fluted profiles of the table or transport surface corresponding to said sorting section, giving it to its closed position (at the surface level), in a few fractions of a second, to ensure uniformity of said area. Obviously, blocking any unit of sorting automatically cancels its operation, without stopping the operation of the machine.
  • the shutters according to the invention discharge the goods in cells of the output modules. These cells have fixed exit ramps to both sides. At each outlet mouth there is a collecting drawer numbered identification. The exit ramp is preselected according to commodity code and drawer where it must have fallen, this being designated by the action a tilting deflection blade.
  • the blade is a blade having a shape triangular (isosceles triangle) mounted by the base on an axis hinge located between the two ramps on the top upper of these and arranged in the longitudinal direction tangent to said vertices.
  • the blade has a hinge arc about 90 ° provided by the automatic acting mechanism on one side of the blade, actually, it's a mechanism single pneumatic actuated by a mounted cylinder vertically over this blade which, in the race in advance moves it to one side and turns it to the side opposite. It is a mechanism activated by sensors respective electronics that are activated and fully synchronized when opening the shutters and coding the goods, previously programmed by the module reading.
  • a reading module located at the head of the machine being a cross spectrum scanner ensuring the reading of the coded label regardless of position.
  • Figure 1 is an extended side projection view longitudinally on the left side, from the head of the machine.
  • Figure 2 is a view equal to the previous one opposite side.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of the interior an outlet module, longitudinally sectioned.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view of the interior of the machine, by one of the output modules, transversely sectioned.
  • Figure 5 is a plan view with part of the transport surface, this affecting one of the flaps for falling goods.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic side view of the internal mechanism for opening and closing said shutters.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic projection view frontal of said interior mechanism of opening and closing of said shutters.
  • Figure 8 is a schematic view of the blade tilting interior for deflection of goods, transversely sectioned.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic view of the blade internal interior for deflection of the goods longitudinally sectioned.
  • the general shape machine is indicated by (1), the power module being the (2) and the reading module being the (3); the number (4) indicates the computer module control module, (5) is the actuation module, the sorting on (6) on one side and on the other (Fig. 1 and 2) in one total number of 52 according to the prototype of the patent example.
  • the machine (1) from one end to the other, comprises a table (7) being the static surface for transporting goods, consisting mainly of a battery of "U" shaped grooved profiles (8), extended longitudinally and on the edges of which the merchandise, even lamellar objects which will be maintained in place by the centripetal effect of air flowing through the channels (8) (Fig. 4).
  • the table (7) of grooved profiles (8) is subdivided in equidistant flaps (12) opening towards the interior of the cell (15) of the sorting module (6).
  • Each component (12) has two twin valves (13-14), each with respective sections of fluted and mounted profiles (8) respectively on corresponding games of articulation (16, 17); operated respectively by games cylinder correspondents (18, 19) controlled from the control module (4).
  • each cell (15) is housed a blade of deflection (20) located under each respective flap (12).
  • the blade (20) has a triangular shape, it is articulated by the base (21) in longitudinal axis (2), and guided on compass arched (23) by means of bearing (24) where the cylinder acts (25) moving the blade (20) through the ball joint tilting or bearing (24).
  • the deflection blade (20) unloads the goods towards the fall ramp (26) or the fall ramp (27), Respective outlets (28 and 29) for respectively discharge also into the collecting basket corresponding, aligned laterally against the sides of the machine (1) in front of each outlet mouth (28 and 29).
  • the goods are deposited on the supply module (2) via the reading module (3) which displays the bar label, the information of which is analyzed and computerized in the control module (4) from which are controlled the sensors actuating the various devices opening (18-19), flaps (12) of the devices actuating (25) deflection blades (20); as well as the entire operational and automatic speed of the machine.
  • the cell (15) is assigned to the barcode corresponding to said goods, the sensor is activated as well as the opening device (18-19) of the flap (12) by unloading the goods in said cell (15) where the blade (20) will be located, by the same operational effect, at the position of fall towards the ramp (16 or 27), discharging through the respective outlet mouth (28 or 29) in the basket respective collector. When these are full they are replaced by other voids. In this dead end, the exit (28) or (29) assigned remains temporarily inactive until the replacement of the basket in question.
