Definitions

  • the invention relates to forming, portioning and reloading a stack according to the preambles of the independent claims.
  • the invention specified in claims 1, 7 and 8 is therefore based on the object of automatically and safely portioning a stack of narrow consignments standing upright on a support side by side with low stack pressure between two movable holding supports and reliably reloading a compressed stack, whereby No expensive special containers are required to remove the stacks.
  • the base consisting of a fixedly arranged, horizontally oriented part and a subsequent swiveling part, which runs obliquely downwards when filling the base and is pivoted downwards into a likewise horizontal position when portioning, and vertically displacing the items Holding spout ensures safe and effortless portioning of the stacks and loading containers with the stack portions under a specified stack pressure.
  • the container can be moved in height by means of lifting means. This makes it possible to partially immerse the portion of the stack held in the container and then to pivot the long supports to the side into the lateral space formed by the obliquely outwardly extending side walls. This ensures that the consignments are safely transferred to the container.
  • the container is lowered onto a means of transport for removal, the movable holding support is moved to the remaining stack of mail items on the fixedly arranged part of the base. Then the movable part of the pad is swung up again and the pad is loaded further.
  • FIG la shows a schematic side view of the device for portioning with a stack to be portioned before pivoting the
  • FIG lb is a schematic side view shortly after the base has been swung down
  • 1c shows a schematic side view with a portioned and compressed stack and a container into which the stack is to be loaded
  • FIG la a base can be seen, which consists of a horizontally oriented, fixed part 1 and a subsequent, obliquely downward and pivotable about a pivot axis 3 located in the stacking direction at the end of the base part 2.
  • a stack 4 of flat consignments standing side by side with a low stack pressure which is held at the end by a movable support bracket 5 designed as a conveyor belt.
  • This support bracket 5 has a sensor that receives the mailing pressure and is moved so that the selected mailing pressure is maintained.
  • the device is filled from the left with a low stack pressure.
  • the stack 4 is fed with mail items from other containers by removing the mail items from these containers, moving them in the direction of the mail items already on the base and combining them.
  • the shipments are held with horizontally movable and swiveling holding sockets.
  • the entire stack 4 to be portioned is completely on the base, it is portioned by pivoting the pivotable part 2 downward about the pivot axis 3 by means of a drive mechanism, not shown, into a horizontally oriented position.
  • the conveyor belts of the support bracket 6 are driven downwards. This ensures that no mail items get stuck between the two stacks at the boundary between the upper remaining and the lower portioned batch.
  • the swiveling part 2 of the base is at the separation point an additional support 7 is attached between the supporting parts 1, 2 just above the highest intended mail items. When swiveling down, the additional support 7 also moves down and thus holds the remaining stack.
  • the additional support 7 can also have conveyor belts. If the conveyor belts are driven upwards with the swiveling speed during swiveling, no forces with vertical force components are exerted on the mail items. After the swiveling process has ended, the movable holding support 3 is moved inwards in such a way that a selected higher stack pressure is established (FIG. 1c).
  • the support 2 is pulled out laterally under the stack, the long supports 8 being fastened in such a way that the removal of the support 2 is not impeded and the stack of mail items is held in position by a stop 12.
  • the container 9 is raised with the appropriate lifting means 10 from a roller conveyor 11 to such an extent that the long beams 8 and the mail items with their lower parts are located below the upper edge of the side walls of the container 9.
  • the long beams (8) are pivoted outwards as indicated by the arrows.
  • the conveyor belts of the holding stub 5, 6 that hold the stack of items under a fixed stack pressure are driven such that the stack is moved toward the bottom of the container.
  • the container 9 is lowered again onto the roller conveyor 11 with the aid of the lifting means 10 (FIG. 2d), by means of which it is then transported away (FIG. 2e).
  • the movable support bracket 5 is moved to the remaining stack of mail items on the fixed part 1 of the base, the movable part 2 of the base is pivoted upwards again, and the base is further loaded.
  • each support bracket 5, 6 has three conveyor belts.
  • the length of the conveyor belts is designed so that the stack is safely transported into the container 9.
  • the support brackets 5, 6 it may be necessary to move the support brackets 5, 6 upwards to allow the containers 9 to be transported away without hindrance. If, in a specific case, the stack is smaller than the capacity of the container 9, so that the mail items in the container 9 could tip over, a holder which can be clamped onto the container side walls is inserted into the container 9. This bracket is shaped so that the support brackets 5.6 have space for immersion in the container 9.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, une pile (4) de plis postaux étroits, situés les uns à côté des autres sur un support, avec un élément de maintien (5) à bande transporteuse, peut être positionnée du fait que le support comporte une partie (1) dirigée horizontalement et montée fixe et une partie (2) qui jouxte la précédente et peut pivoter autour d'un pivot (3) situé sur le bord extérieur, dans le sens de la pile. Lors de la constitution de portions, la partie qui pivote et s'étend en biais vers le bas depuis la partie montée fixe, est basculée dans une position horizontale. Sous la partie montée fixe, il est prévu à l'interface avec la partie mobile, un élément de maintien (6) avec une bande transporteuse, qui est entraînée vers le bas par pivotement. Un élément de maintien additionnel (7) est monté au-dessus des plis postaux, sur le bâti de la partie pivotante du support, et maintient la pile résiduelle sur le support monté fixe. La pile compactée et en portions se situe entre les éléments de maintien (5, 6) avec des bandes transporteuses et est transbordée sous l'effet de l'entraînement desdites bandes transporteuses.
