Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stapelvorrichtung für flache, hochkant stehende Sendungen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a stacking device for flat, upright items according to the preamble of the claim 1.

In Sortieranlagen für flache Sendungen, wie Briefe, Karten u.ä., werden sowohl Sendungsstapel vereinzelt, um den anschließenden Sortiervorgang durchführen zu können, als auch Sendungen zu Stapeln vereinigt, z.B. in nebeneinanderliegenden Stapelfächern. Die flachen Sendungen werden dabei in Deckbandsystemen eingeklemmt transportiert und in stehender Position gestapelt.In sorting systems for flat items such as letters, cards etc., both batches of items are separated to the subsequent To be able to perform sorting, as well Consolidated consignments in stacks, e.g. in side by side Stacking compartments. The flat programs are in Cover tape systems clamped transported and in a standing position Position stacked.

Damit der sich bildende Stapel nicht umkippt, muß er entgegen der Sendungszufuhrseite gehalten werden. Dazu werden in Stapelrichtung verschiebbare Stützen eingesetzt. Zur Steuerung des Verschiebevorganges sind verschiedene Varianten möglich. So werden die Dicken der einzustapelnden Sendungen gemessen und dementsprechend wird die Stütze von der Einstapelstelle weg mittels Antrieb verfahrenSo that the stack that forms does not tip over, it must be countered on the delivery side. To do this, stack in the direction sliding supports used. For controlling Different variants of the shifting process are possible. This is how the thicknesses of the items to be stacked are measured and accordingly the support from the stacking point move away using the drive

In einer kostengünstigen Variante werden die Sendungen schräg in Richtung der Stütze in die Stapelstelle transportiert. Durch die Kraftkomponente in Stapelrichtung wird die Stütze gegen eine Federkraft in Richtung Stapelstelle von der Stapelstelle weg verschoben.In a cost-effective variant, the shipments are slanted transported towards the support in the stacking place. The support is created by the force component in the stacking direction against a spring force in the direction of the stacking point from the stacking point moved away.

Hat der Stapel seine Sollgröße erreicht, so wird die Stütze zur Seite geklappt, damit der Stapel aus dem Stapelfach ungehindert herausgeschoben werden kann. Um dabei nicht in den Arbeitsbereich des benachbarten Stapelfaches zu geraten, darf die Stütze eine bestimmte Größe nicht überschreiten. Durch Federkraft wird die Stütze nach der Entleerung zur Einstapelstelle geschoben bzw. gezogen. If the stack has reached its target size, the support becomes folded to the side so that the stack from the stacking compartment is unhindered can be pushed out. In order not to To get into the work area of the adjacent stacking compartment the support does not exceed a certain size. By After the emptying, the support becomes a spring-loaded point pushed or pulled.

Weisen die zu stapelnden Sendungen stark unterschiedliche Größen auf, so beginnt der Stapel bei einer bestimmten Stapeldicke umzukippen, da die großen Sendungen über die relativ kleine Stütze kippen. Eine höhere Anordnung der Stütze ist nicht möglich, da sonst die kleinen, biegsamen Sendungen unter der Stütze hindurch rutschen würden.Assign the items to be stacked very different Sizes, the stack starts at a certain stack thickness to tip over because the big shipments are about the relative tilt the small support. A higher arrangement of the support is not possible, because otherwise the small, flexible items below the prop would slide through.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stapelvorrichtung für flache, hochkant stehende Sendungen unterschiedlicher Größe mit einer in Stapelrichtung verschiebbaren, den Stapel haltenden Stütze begrenzter Größe und einer Einstapelstelle zu schaffen, bei der die Sendungen mit einem sauberen Stapelbild ohne zu kippen abgestapelt werden.The invention is therefore based on the object of a stacking device for flat, upright items different Size with a slidable in the stacking direction, the stack-holding prop of limited size and one To create a stacking point at which the items with a clean stacked image can be stacked without tilting.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Am Beginn des jeweiligen Einstapelprozesses befindet sich die relativ kleine Stütze in einer unteren Position, in der kleine und biegsame Sendungen nicht unter ihr hindurchrutschen können und wenige große Sendungen trotzdem noch gehalten werden. Damit die großen Sendungen mit zunehmender Stapeldicke nicht über die Stütze abkippen, wird diese allmählich in eine höhere Position gefahren, in welcher sich der obere Teil der Stütze oberhalb des Schwerpunktes der größten Sendungen befindet und der untere Teil der Stütze unterhalb der oberen Kante der kleinsten Sendungen. Aufgrund des nicht mehr biegsamen Stapels können die kleinen Sendungen auch nicht mehr unter der Stütze hindurchrutschen.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of the claim 1 solved. At the beginning of the respective stacking process the relatively small support is in a lower one Position in which small and flexible shipments are not under you can slip through and a few large programs anyway still be held. So that the big shipments with increasing Stack thickness does not tip over the support these gradually moved to a higher position, in which the upper part of the support above the center of gravity of the largest shipments and the lower part of the column below the top edge of the smallest shipments. Because of the small consignments can no longer bend also no longer slide under the support.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims shown.

Da die großen Sendungen je nach Spektrum häufig erst ab einer bestimmten Stapeldicke beginnen umzukippen, erfolgt das Nachobenfahren der Stütze vorteilhafterweise erst ab einer wählbaren Stapeldicke. Because, depending on the spectrum, the large programs often only start at one certain stack thickness begin to tip over, the moving up takes place the support advantageously only from a selectable Stack thickness.

Das Verfahren der Stütze von der unteren in die obere Endstellung läßt sich günstig mittels einer Schwenkbewegung realisieren.The movement of the support from the lower to the upper end position can be realized inexpensively by means of a pivoting movement.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, die Stütze auf dem Verschiebeweg in gleicher horizontaler Lage schwenkbar zu lagern und durch eine ansteigende Laufschiene außerhalb des Schwenkpunktes so zuführen, daß die Stütze beim Verfahren in Stapelrichtung hochschwenkt.It is advantageous to in the support on the displacement path the same horizontal position to pivot and by a rising track outside the pivot point so feed the support when moving in the stacking direction swings up.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung erfolgt keine Schwenkbewegung, sondern die Stütze bleibt in einer gleichbleibenden Schwenklage und die Lagerung der Stütze wird mit wachsender Stapeldicke nach oben geführt.In a further advantageous embodiment, none Swiveling movement, but the support remains in a constant Pivotal position and storage of the support is included increasing stack thickness led upwards.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung in einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.

Gemäß der FIG 1 wird eine Sendung 1, in diesem Fall eine kleine Sendung, von dem hinteren Band 2 des Deckbandsystems zur Einstapelstelle transportiert. Das vordere Band des Deckbandsystems endet vor dem Stapelfach, dessen die Sicht auf die Stapelvorrichtung behindernden Teile nicht dargestellt sind. Zur Führung der Sendungen 1 befinden sich über und unter dem hinteren Band 2 Leitbleche 3. Das hintere Band 2 und die Leitbleche 3 leiten die Sendungen 1 schräg gegen eine Prallplatte 4, wo sie abgebremst werden, gegen die in Einlaufrichtung hintere Fachwand 9 und gegen eine Stütze 5, die ein Umkippen der auf dem Boden 10 des Stapelfaches stehenden Sendungen verhindert. Die Stütze ist auf einem in Stapelrichtung und horizontal ausgerichteten geraden Rundstab 6 mittels eines Kugellagers 7 verschiebbar und schwenkbar gelagert. Eine nicht dargestellte Zugfeder zieht die Stütze 5 leicht in Richtung Einstapelstelle. Die von den schräg auf die Stütze 5 bzw. auf den schon vorhandenen Stapel mit relativ hoher Geschwindigkeit transportierten Sendungen 1 erzeugte Kraftkomponente in Stapelrichtung drückt die Stütze gegen die Federkraft von der Einstapelstelle weg. Dadurch liegt die Stütze 5 ständig am Stapel an, wird aber durch die einschließenden Sendungen auf dem Rundstab 6 verschoben und nach Entnahme des Stapels wieder zur Einstapelstelle gezogen. Die Stütze 5 kann natürlich auch durch einen Antrieb von der Stapelstelle weg bewegt werden.According to FIG 1, a shipment 1, in this case a small shipment, from the rear volume 2 of the cover tape system transported to the stacking point. The front band of the shroud system ends in front of the stacking compartment, which is the view of the stacking device obstructing parts not shown are. To manage the programs 1 are above and below the rear band 2 baffles 3. The rear band 2 and the baffles 3 guide the consignments 1 obliquely against one Baffle plate 4, where they are braked against the in the direction of entry rear compartment wall 9 and against a support 5, the a tipping of those standing on the floor 10 of the stacking compartment Shipments prevented. The support is on one in the stacking direction and horizontally aligned straight round rod 6 by means of a ball bearing 7 slidably and pivotably. A Tension spring, not shown, pulls the support 5 slightly in Towards the stacking point. The diagonally on the support 5 or on the already existing stack at a relatively high speed transported shipments 1 generated force component in the stacking direction the support presses against the spring force away from the stacking point. As a result, the support 5 constantly at the stack, but is by the inclusive Shipments moved on the round rod 6 and after removal of the The stack is pulled back to the stacking point. The support 5 can naturally also by a drive away from the stacking point be moved.

Damit bei größer werdender Stapeldicke große Sendungen 1 nicht über die Stütze 5 kippen, muß diese in eine höhere Position gebracht werden. Dies wird erreicht, indem die Stütze 5 durch ein an ihr drehbar befestigtes Laufrad 11, das auf einer ansteigenden Laufschiene 8 abrollt, über einen Hebearm zwischen Drehpunkt und Laufrad 11 nach oben geschwenkt wird.So that with increasing stack thickness large consignments 1 do not tilt over the support 5, it must be in a higher position to be brought. This is achieved by using the prop 5 by an impeller 11 rotatably attached to it, which on a rising rail 8 rolls, via a lifting arm between pivot point and impeller 11 is pivoted upwards.

In der oberen Endstellung, wie in FIG 2 dargestellt, können die großen Sendungen nicht mehr über die Stütze 5 kippen, da sie über ihrem Schwerpunkt gehalten werden. Da sich das Abkippen der großen Sendungen 1 erst ab einer bestimmten Stapeldicke störend bemerkbar macht, ist die Laufschiene 8 erst ab dieser Position ansteigend ausgeführt.In the upper end position, as shown in FIG 2, can the large shipments no longer tip over the support 5 because they are kept above their focus. Because the tipping the large shipments 1 only from a certain stack thickness makes disturbing noticeable, the track 8 is only from this position upwards.
