Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for measuring the bending stiffness of flat items in the longitudinal direction, which are transported one behind the other in a conveyor path.
- the mail items pass through a curved section of the conveyor path designed as a shroud system, in which the deflection of the mail items is measured. If the mail items have a low bending stiffness in the longitudinal direction, they nestle against the deflecting member and there is virtually no deflection. With high longitudinal rigidity, the front and rear parts of the rigid sections are deflected accordingly.
- EP 0 829 720 AI describes a device for measuring the bending stiffness of a moving sheet-shaped material web, in which the material web is guided over two deflection rollers and one arranged in between
- Deflection roller deflects the material web. While the material web is running, it is deflected by a certain constant amount. The force acting on the deflection roller is continuously measured over the length of the web and the bending stiffness is then determined from it, with special measures for eliminating the influence of the web tension (additional periodic deflection of the material web by a small amount) being carried out.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for measuring the bending stiffness of flat items in the longitudinal direction, which are transported in succession in a conveying path, which measures the bending stiffness in the longitudinal direction of items of different formats and different thicknesses and which also Measurement of the bending stiffness over the length of the consignment is permitted.
- the object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.
- the deflection device In order to eliminate the influence of the consignment thickness during the measurement and to avoid mechanical stress on the consignments and the deflection device, there is a measuring device connected to the control device on the conveyor path for determining the thickness of each consignment.
- the deflection device in the undeflected state and / or the storage locations are selected for each shipment before the start
- control device is designed in such a way that the deflection device remains in the deflected state until the rear edge of the mail item has left the rearmost storage location and the course of rigidity is determined over the length of each mail item.
- control device is designed in such a way that a detection signal for this shipment is triggered only when the bending stiffness is measured beyond a defined length.
- the measuring means for determining the size of the deflection of the mail items is advantageously arranged at the level of the movable deflection device.
- a measuring device for determining the size of the deflection of the mail items is advantageous to additionally arrange a measuring device for determining the size of the deflection of the mail items at a different mail item height and to design the control device in such a way that it is carried out by the two measuring devices form that, in the case of unequal deflections determined by the two measuring devices, it detects a mail item with a bound edge and identifies that mail item edge as the bound edge to which the measuring device with the smaller deflection is closest.
- the bearing points and the part of the deflection device which touches the mail items are designed as rollers.
- the measuring means for determining the size of the deflection are advantageously designed as distance sensors for a contactless measurement.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a measuring device with measurement of the deflection and with two bearing points in the rest position and a distance sensor;
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic plan view of a measuring device with measurement of the deflection and with two bearing points and a distance sensor in the measuring position (deflected state);

- FIG. 8 shows a schematic side view of a measuring device with measurement of the deflection and with two bearing points in the rest position and two distance sensors;
- FIG. 9 shows a schematic side view of the measuring device according to FIG. 8 with a consignment with a bound edge lying below in the measuring position (deflected state);
- FIG. 10 shows a schematic side view of the measuring device according to FIG. 8 with a consignment with a bound edge lying at the top in the measuring position (deflected state);
- FIG. 11 shows a schematic side view of the measuring device according to FIG. 8 with a consignment without a bound edge in the measuring position (deflected state).
- the mail items 4 are transported in the standing position in the conveying path, clamped between narrow transport belts 1, 2 of a shroud system.
- the device for measuring the stiffness of the item in the longitudinal direction is located in a straight section. Doing so the conveyor belt 2 is divided into two sub-belts 2a, 2b on two spaced, spatially fixed support rollers 3 for supporting the mail items 4 over their entire height. Between the two support rollers 3, which serve as a bearing point during the measurement, is on the other side of the shroud system, i.e. on the conveyor belt 1, a deflection device 5 which can be moved into the conveying path and which touches the items 4 with a roller during the deflection.
- the roll is moved back and forth accordingly by means of an actuator, for example a servo motor.
- an actuator for example a servo motor.
- the role of the deflection device 5 is opposite and at its height there is a measuring means 6 for determining the size of the deflection.
- This measuring device is designed as a laser distance sensor. Since the support rollers 3 are spatially fixed and therefore the mail items 4 have a defined position there, the transport belt 1 is lifted off the support rollers 3 in accordance with the mail item thickness.
- the roll with the actuator is pre-adjusted according to the respective mail item thickness, which was previously determined by means of a thickness measuring device, not shown, such that the distance of the roll of the deflection device 5 from the connecting straight line between the Partial belt 2a and 2b, while the mail item passes the deflection device 5, approximately corresponds to the mail item thickness.
- the front and rear edges of the consignment are detected with a light barrier, also not shown. Since the transport speed of the shroud system is known, the location of each shipment 4 at all times including the length of the shipment is known. After the front edge of the respective shipment 4 the in
- Transport direction has reached the foremost bearing point / support roller 3, the role of the deflection device 5 is deflected with a fixed constant force in the conveying path and thus the mail item 4 is bent.
- This deflection is measured with the laser distance sensor and characterizes the stiffness of the consignment.
- a measure of the mail stiffness can also be determined if, as can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, the mail items 4 are deflected by a constant path and the force required for this, which is determined in the actuator control, serves as a measure of the mail stiffness.
- the switch on a stop 7 the switching element of which is actuated by the transmission and thereby switches off the actuator drive of the deflection device. This ensures that only the force required to deflect the consignment is determined.
- the measurement is carried out until the rear edge of the consignment 4 has left the support roller 3 which is at the rear in the transport direction. This gives a corresponding stiffness curve, with which it can then be better decided whether the respective mail item 4 can be processed without problems in a sorting machine. It is not the height of the bending stiffness over a short length that is particularly dangerous, but because of the many deflections in the sorting machine, the impermissible bending stiffness over a longer length. If it is necessary to measure the bending stiffness in the longitudinal direction of very short mail items 4 that are less than or equal to the distance between the two bearing points, the mail items 4 are clamped on one side during measurement in a bearing point with a support roller 8 and a guide roller 11 (FIG 6 and FIG 7).
- a defined position of the continuous transport belt 2 is secured at the incoming part of the measuring arrangement by the smooth guide surface 11 or by guide rollers.
- the deflection device 5 with the roller at the end is located on the side of the transport belt 1 and the other belt strand is in two parts,
- Transport belts la and 1b divided.
- the transport belt la is deflected at the incoming part on a support roller 8, which is moved approximately perpendicular to the transport direction in accordance with the measured mailpiece thickness.
- Mailing thickness distance between support roller 8 and guide surface 11).
- a guide plate 12 is located in the transport direction in front of the support roller 8, which prevents thin consignments 4 from being caught low bending stiffness at the relatively high transport speed leave the measuring device to the outside and cause a malfunction.
- the deflected mail items 4 arrive at the second transport belt 19 of the belt strand 1, which is guided over two deflecting rollers 9, 10 and forms an entry area in which the deflected mail items 4 are again guided into the cover belt system with the transport belts 1, 2 arranged close together ,
- the size of the deflection of the mail items 4 is also measured with a corresponding measuring means 6 (laser distance sensor), which is located opposite the roller of the deflection device 5 between the support roller 8 and the deflection roller 10 at the level of the roller of the deflection device 5. In this case, however, the measured thickness must be taken into account when determining the deflection of the mail items 4.
- a large number of programs 4 consists of magazines with bound edges. These bound edges are more rigid than the rest of the magazine. The information about the position of the bound edge (below or above) is important for further processing.
- another corresponding measuring device 13 is arranged just above the base plate 14 directly below the first measuring device for determining the size of the deflection (FIG. 8).
- both measuring devices 6, 13 laser distance sensors
