Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dividing stacks on a base upright, leaning against a support wall, narrow mail items.
  • the object of the invention specified in claim 1 is to provide a device for dividing stacks onto ner underlay upright, leaning against a support wall to create narrow consignments, in which blockages due to consignment jams and consignments are reduced compared to the prior art.
  • Support finger additionally an alignment of the touched mail on the corresponding friction force component on the support wall.
  • radius of curvature and the length of the circular arc segment are advantageously chosen such that the end of the support finger, when it strikes the support wall, is directed towards the base
  • Has movement component so the touched mail items are aligned with the corresponding friction force component in addition to the base. This can compensate for a possible pushing up of the touched mail items at the beginning of the extension movement of the support finger.
  • the consignments of the stack have considerable size differences, ie if consignments that are twice as large have to be supported, it is advantageous to push at least one further circularly curved support finger upwards through the opening in the base. It is advantageous to push the additional support fingers upwards only when the first support finger is fully extended and the mail items touched by it are fixed in an aligned manner. This largely prevents the mail items from being shifted when the further supporting fingers are raised.
  • the radius of curvature of the further support fingers is advantageous ⁇ the height of the largest shipment.
  • the curvature of the further support fingers can be directed both towards and away from the support wall, so that the large items are securely held over their entire surface.
  • the support finger for the smallest consignment and optionally the other support fingers are designed as open hollow profiles so that they can be slid into one another.
  • each curved support finger is advantageously firmly connected to a rotating arm designed as a radius and pivotably mounted below the base.
  • the rotary arm can be swiveled by means of a controlled rotary drive.
  • the support fingers are guided and driven in a curved guide piece.
  • the drive can be implemented in a manner known per se, e.g. by means of friction wheel drive, rack drive or linear motor.
  • Show 1 shows a side view in section on a divided stack section with extended support fingers
  • the stack of items is as
  • the alignment of all mail items in the stack is not necessarily ideal as in the case of the front mail items 12.
  • the support fingers 5, 6, 7, 8 are fully extended. It can be seen that the support fingers 5, 6, 7, 8 are shaped and pushed into one another in such a way that the hole in the base 3 is as small as possible.
  • the support finger 5 which is circularly curved towards the support wall 4 has such a radius of curvature that the support finger does not go beyond the smallest consignment 1 and touches the support wall 4 in a slightly curved manner. It has a U-profile open to the left, in which the other support fingers 6,7,8 move.
  • the support finger 6 supporting the lower left side of the large mailpiece 2 has such a radius of curvature that the support finger 6 does not protrude above the lower half of the mailpiece 2 at its highest point and is likewise curved downward at the end of the mailpiece 2.
  • This support finger 6 has a U-profile of the support finger 5 which is moving and thus correspondingly small, but which is open to the right. On the basis of this training, the two support fingers 5, 6 do not interfere with the extension. Within the two U-profiles, the two support fingers 7, 8 directed towards the upper corners of the large mailpiece 2 move side by side. Since there are no more support fingers and they are curved next to each other in different directions, no open profiles are necessary.
  • each support finger has to be largely raised before the inner support finger follows in order to prevent the inner support finger from jamming on the outer support finger, which converges narrowly on the outside.
  • FIG. 3a-d briefly shows the time sequence when dividing a stack of letters.
  • the circularly curved support fingers 5, 6, 7, 8 are firmly connected to rotating arms 10, which are pivotably mounted below the base 3 and designed as a radius.
  • the rotary movement is realized by controlled rotary drives 11. Since the support fingers 5, 6 are not realized with U-profiles, all support fingers 5, 6, 7, 8 must be pushed next to each other through the opening 9 in the base 3 in this example. Therefore, the opening 9 must be dimensioned accordingly large. This disadvantage is offset by the advantage that the support fingers can be raised independently of one another.
  • the rotary arms 10, which are attached as a radius to the support fingers 5, 6, 7, 8 designed as circular arcs, are rotated by the rotary drives 11 in accordance with the sequence. This causes the support fingers 5, 6, 1, i to be pushed up through the opening 9.
  • FIG. 3a the upward movement of the support finger for the smallest shipment 1 begins, which is completed in FIG. 3b.
  • the corresponding rotating arm 10 runs approximately parallel to the base 3 and the tip of the supporting finger 5 touches the supporting wall 4. If the stack consists only of the small items 1 shown, the subdivision of the stack is thus ended. If the stack consists of small and large items 1, 2, then it is necessary to hold the large items 2 (here the next item in the stack) the others Push support finger 6,7,8 upwards. According to FIG. 3c, the remaining support fingers 6, 7, 8 start up almost simultaneously. This is possible because the stack section has already been fixed by the support finger 5. This process is completed in FIG. 3d, the stack section is held securely.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de subdiviser, sur un substrat (3), des piles d'envois (1,2) étroits, debout, qui s'appuient contre une paroi d'appui (4). Il est possible d'introduire vers le haut un doigt d'appui (5) cintré de manière circulaire, au moyen d'un mécanisme d'entraînement (10,11), à travers une ouverture (9) pratiquée dans le substrat (3). La courbure est orientée vers la paroi d'appui (4) et l'écart entre l'ouverture (9) pratiquée dans le substrat (3) et la paroi d'appui (4) ne dépasse pas la longueur de l'envoi (1) de plus petites dimensions.
