Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch for flat, flexible mail items in mail sorting machines according to the preamble of claim 1.
- switches guide the consignments into the corresponding transport lines and sorting compartments of the consignment sorting machines.
- the mail items are transported clamped in the transport strands between two transport belts of a shroud system.
- the transport belts are narrower than the items in height.
- the pivot bearing of a wedge-shaped guide element directed against the transport direction is located at the end of the switch area in the transport direction between the two inputs of the discharging shroud systems. Depending on the swivel position, this guide element forms a channel for the mailings between its side wall in the respective outer continuous transport belt.
- the deflecting element must be in its respective end position before a shipment arrives in the switch. If the distances between the mail items are to be kept as small as possible for a high machine throughput, the deflection elements of the turnouts would have to switch over at a point in time at which the previous shipment has not yet left the turnout. In this case, however, this is only possible to a limited extent, since when the changeover is made in time, the previous item with its rear areas is pressed against a conveyor belt, which means either the item can be destroyed or the switch cannot switch properly.
- the invention specified in claim 1 is therefore based on the object of creating a generic switch which has lower interference rates than known switches and which allows smaller minimum distances between the programs.
- Another advantage is that even with very small distances between the mail items and the possibly necessary swiveling of the deflecting element into the other direction of removal, before the previous mail items have left the switch, the previous items with the rear part do not have the negative consequences described are pressed against the conveyor belt, but are freely bent away from the conveyor belt.
- the axis of a deflection roller, on which the continuous transport belts are deflected in the branching directions at the beginning of the switch area is at the same time the pivot axis of the deflection element in order to reduce expenditure.
- controllable rotary drive e.g. use a rotary magnet with two adjustable end positions.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a switch for deflecting the mail items into the right transp ⁇ rt path
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a switch with a common axis for the deflection roller and swivel element
- the transport belts 4, 5 diverge on a deflecting roller 6 and are each guided to a further deflecting roller over which a transport belt is guided, so that the transport system with two transport belts, between which the items are clamped, are transported on these rollers, is continued.
- the diverging conveyor belts 4, 5 do not necessarily have to be continuous, they can also be over
- This deflection element consists of two rigid partial deflection elements 1, 2 which are arranged next to one another and approximately parallel to one another in the transport direction. They are firmly connected to each other outside the letter run level, in this case below via a base plate.
- the partial deflection elements 1, 2 are pivoted to the right and thus direct the mail items between the partial deflection element 1 and the transport belt 4 into the right transport path. So that the partial deflection elements 1, 2 can execute the pivoting movements without touching the transport belts 4, 5, they have recesses necessary for this, which cannot be seen in the plan view.
- bent and bent items can thus clear the switch area If the distances between the consignments are to be as small as possible, the switch must be switched over if the previous consignment has not yet completely left the switch area, in which case the rear part of the previous consignment is bent in the other direction, a disturbing one Pressing these shipments against the transport Men, as described in the description of the prior art, does not occur.
- the switch is shown in perspective without a conveyor belt.
- the pivot axis 3 of the partial deflection elements 1, 2 and the axis of rotation of the deflection roller 6 have been combined.
- the cutouts in the partial deflection elements 1, 2 for the transport belts can also be clearly seen in this illustration.
