Definitions
- the invention relates to a stacking device for flat items standing on their narrow sides. It contains guiding means for guiding the supplied mail items onto a stacking base against a supporting wall, on which the mail items are braked. It also contains a stacking plate which can be displaced in the stacking direction on a linear guide and which is acted upon by a roller spring wound on a spool in order to generate a pressing force which is approximately the same over the displacement region and is directed towards the stack which is being built up.
- the roller spring is designed in such a way that in the case of mail items with low kinetic energy, due to the force exerted by the respective incoming mail item on the stacking plate, the stacking plate is displaced away from the stacking point.
- the stacking plate counteracts the force due to the impulse caused by the impact of the consignments on the stacking plate or the stack being built up the roller spring moves away from the consignment or the stack in a pulsing manner. As a result, the stacking plate briefly loses contact with the items and the item to be stacked bounces off the supporting wall.
- the object of the invention specified in claim 1 is to create a generic stacking device with a stacking plate, which is pressed against the stack by a spring element, with which, regardless of the level of the kinetic energy, into the stacking point over the entire stacking area incoming mail prevents a pulse-like removal of the stacking plate from the stack, the increased counterforce being always generated in proportion to the kinetic energy.
- the spring element is designed as a roller spring
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the stacking device with the stacking pad without mail items
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a section of FIG. 1 with the rotary damper and the roller spring and removed support wall
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the stacking device with a stacked item
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the stacking device with two stacked items.
- the base 1 has two slide rails on which the mail items slide with the lowest possible frictional resistance as the stack grows.
- a support wall 2 approximately perpendicular to this, to which a round guide rail 3 of a linear guide is fastened.
- a ball bushing 4 runs, on which a pivotable stacking plate 5 is attached.
- the items arrive from the viewer on the right through the right aisle of a stacking spindle 7 at an angle onto the stacking plate 5 or later onto the foremost mailing of the stack and exert an impulse on the stacking plate 5 so that they are removed from the stacking position. le is moved away.
- the rotating stacking spindle 5 ensures that the rear part of the mail items is quickly moved to the left. This ensures that the next consignment that follows at short intervals does not hit the rear edge of the preceding consignment.
- the rotary damper 6 can also be seen, the function of which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.
- a band-shaped roller spring 9 is fastened to the displaceable ball bushing 4 and is wound on a rotatably mounted spool 8.
- the other end of the coil spring 9 can be connected to the coil 8 or is held on the coil 8 only by the friction.
- the stacking plate 5 is made by the roller spring 9. approximately constant force pressed against the stack of consignments being built up.
- the coil 8 is connected via a coupling 10, which compensates for displacements and inaccuracies, to a rotary damper 6 which only acts in one direction of rotation, the moving parts being connected to one another and the immovable parts being connected to one another.
- the rotary damper 6 has a freewheel and only acts when the roller spring 9 is unwound, so that the roller spring 9 is wound without damping and thus quickly.
- the kinetic energy is reduced by means of the rotary damper 6 by the stacking plate 5 trying to move impulsively at a speed which is increased by the Impact of the mail item 11, 12 against the support wall 2 and the stacking plate 5 or the mail item stack is caused to move along the linear guide. Since the energy is briefly reduced by the rotary damper 6, the stacking plate 5 never loses contact with the stack of letters.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show the stacking device with stack of mail items building up, starting with the first mail item 11 and with the second mail item 12.
