Definitions

  • Postal sorting machine comprising an injection carousel equipped with flexible deflectors.
  • the invention relates to a postal sorting machine comprising a carousel and a system for injecting mail items on edge into receptacles of the carousel, each receptacle of the carousel being defined by a bottom wall and two side walls.
  • a postal sorting machine more particularly a "TOP 2000” type machine manufactured by the company "Solystic"
  • the injection of mail items moving on an entry conveyor as far as a sorting conveyor is carried out by means an intermediate injection carousel.
  • This transfer of mail items is particularly critical for the performance of the sorting machine. It decides on the speed of the processing of mail items in the sorting machine and the items must therefore be transferred in a minimum of time with an injection rate in the carousel of approximately six items per second.
  • the mail items processed by this machine are mainly flat objects of all kinds, rigid, flexible, plasticized, paper, width between 90 and 300 mm, length between 140 and 400 mm, and thickness ranging from 0.2 at 32 mm.
  • a postal sorting machine as described above is known from patent document FR-2795396.
  • the mail items are conveyed on edge between two rows of wheels constituting the injection system and sent out of the rows of wheels into the receptacles of the carousel.
  • This injection system makes it possible to regulate the speed of injection of the mail items into the receptacles.
  • the articles of mail are moved on edge in the receptacles of the carousel before falling by gravity vertically on edge in buckets of a sorting conveyor synchronized with the carousel.
  • the use of such a system for injecting mail items into the receptacles of the carousel is satisfactory only for rigid, heavy and large mail items. Indeed, the flexible mail items loose between the walls of the receptacle.
  • sending the articles at high speed into the receptacles of the carousel causes, under the effect of the friction generated by the speed and of the impact against the walls, the deformation of the articles. weakly rigid.
  • the device for injecting mail items from the entry conveyor to the intermediate carousel presented above does not meet the requirements expected of users of postal sorting machines, because up to 2% of mail items are poorly injected.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks presented above by proposing a postal sorting machine in which there are improved means for bringing and maintaining the mail items in a vertical upright position at the bottom of the receptacles of the carousel.
  • the invention relates to a postal sorting machine comprising a carousel and a system for injecting mail items on edge into receptacles of the carousel, each receptacle of the carousel being defined by a bottom wall and two side walls, characterized in that a flexible deflector is fixed to a first of the side walls of each receptacle so that each item of mail injected into the receptacle is guided towards the bottom wall being substantially pressed against the second side wall.
  • the mail items are guided and held in the receptacles and do not collapse.
  • a blower is interposed between the injection system and the carousel, the blower comprising two jets of compressed air substantially perpendicular to each other, each item of mail being moved between the two air jets.
  • the sorting machine according to the invention can also have the following specific features: - the flexible deflector is a wide strip of belt reinforced with a canvas; each compressed air jet is a flat compressed air jet sent by means of one or more flat nozzles; - the pressure of the compressed air jets is between 0.5 and 1.5 bar (linked to the type of blower).
  • An exemplary embodiment of a postal sorting machine according to the invention is described below in detail and illustrated in the drawings.
  • Figure 1 is a very schematic representation from above of a carousel and a mail item injection system.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation from above of the area for injecting mail items in a carousel of a sorting machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows schematically in side view a receptacle provided with a deflector of a sorting machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 shows schematically in side view the arrangement of the blowers of a sorting machine according to the invention.
  • a carousel 1 intermediate of a postal sorting machine not shown, provided with receptacles 2 and used for the transfer of mail items 3 from an input conveyor to a sorting conveyor not shown .
  • the mail items 3 moved on edge are sent by means of an injection system 4 into the open receptacles 2 each being formed of two side walls 5, 6 and a bottom wall 7 opposite the position of the injection system 4.
  • the injection system 4 is formed by two rows of elastically deformable wheels 8 which make it possible to slow down the mail items 3 to limit the intensity of the impact of the mail items 3 against the walls when they are injected into the receptacles 2, to control and synchronize the injection of the mail items 3 into the carousel 1.
  • the rows of wheels 8 consist of two stacked wheel levels.
  • the bottom wall 7 is mounted on a shock absorber 9 which makes it possible to absorb the shock of the mail item 3 sent at high speed into the receptacle 2 and to avoid degradation of the item.
  • This injection system 4 is described in detail in patent document FR-2795396.
  • the receptacles 2 of the carousel 1 move and rotate in the direction represented by the arrows 10.
  • the mail items 3 arranged on edge between the walls 5, 6 of the receptacles 2 slide and advance with the receptacles 2 until an opening in the plate in which they fall vertically by gravity into buckets of the sorting conveyor, the sorting conveyor not shown being arranged below the carousel 1.
  • the sorting conveyor not shown being arranged below the carousel 1.
  • the carousel 1 follows a closed path of oval shape. The distance between the walls 5, 6 of a receptacle is greater in the curved part than that in the right part of the path.
  • the side wall 5 whose back is oriented in the direction of travel of the carousel 1 is designated as the first side wall 5 while that facing it is designated as the second side wall 6.
  • Figure 2 there is shown schematically the injection area of mail items 3 in the carousel 1 of a sorting machine according to the invention.
  • the injection system 4 for the mail items 3 as described above sends the mail items 3 to the carousel 1 in a longitudinal direction, perpendicular to the movement represented by the arrow 10 of the receptacles 2 of the carousel 1 in the injection zone.
  • the receptacles 2 of the carousel 1 are all arranged in the same way.
  • the side walls 5, 6 of the receptacles 2 are substantially parallel in said longitudinal direction and perpendicular to the bottom wall 9.
  • the first side wall 5 has a rounded 11, open towards the outside to the inlet of receptacle 2 and covered with a sliding plastic material to guide the mail items 3 towards the bottom of the receptacle 2 if the trajectory of the mail items 3 is deviated and that the latter are not sent to the center of the receptacle 2 but come abut against the rounding 11.
  • a flexible deflector 12 is fixed on the first side wall 5.
  • the flexible deflector 12 is for example a wide rubber band reinforced with a canvas (mat) or a wide belt flat arranged between the bottom wall 9 and the rounded 11 and advancing in the receptacle 2.
  • FIG. 3 it can be seen that the addition of the flexible deflector 12 in the receptacle 2 makes it possible to restrict agit over the entire height of the receptacle 2 the gap between the two side walls 5, 6 which was 70 mm.
  • the distance between the flexible deflector 12 and the second side wall 6 is no more than about 25 mm.
  • the flexible deflector 12 thus makes it possible to guide the articles 3 towards the bottom wall 9 while remaining substantially pressed against the second side wall 6 but above all as can be seen in FIG.
  • This blower 13 is composed of two jets 14, 15 of flat compressed air substantially perpendicular to each other or having a slightly obtuse angle between them and sent by means of flat nozzles 16, 17.
  • a jet 14 applied in said longitudinal direction towards the carousel 1 between the mail item 3 and the second side wall 6 of the corresponding receptacle 2 allows by "venturi" effect to deflect the trajectory of the mail items 3 flexible towards the second wall 6. Under the effect of this jet 14 d compressed air, the mail item 3 is drawn towards the second side wall 6 and then pushed along the wall to the bottom wall 9.
  • the trajectory of the mail item 3 is represented by the dotted arrow 18 in FIG. 2.
  • a reference plate 19 is arranged parallel to the mail item 3, on the side opposite to the mail item 3 with respect to the jet 14, which plate 19 will close the space between the head of the drank 16 and the open end of the receptacles 2 or the distance between the head of the nozzle 16 sending the jet 14 longitudinally and the open end of the receptacles 2 is minimized, so as to control the direction of the jet 14 well and to limit the air disturbances.
  • Another jet 15 of compressed air is sent substantially parallel to the movement of the receptacles 2 on the mail item 3. The jet 15 then exerts pressure on the mail item 3, more particularly the rear part of the mail item 3 when the mail item 3 is released by the wheels 8 of the injection system 4, and deflects it onto the second side wall 6.
  • FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of the blowers 13 in the machine sorting.
  • the jet 15 of flat compressed air is sent by one or more flat nozzles 17 over part or the entire height of the receptacle 2.
  • the jet 14 of flat compressed air is sent by a flat nozzle 16 onto the central part of the receptacle 2 because the flat nozzle is inserted between the two superposed levels of wheels 8.
  • one or more flat nozzles 16, 17 may be used, for example of the type “727ABS” from the company “Windjet” or of the type “921" from the company “Silvent”.
  • the jets 14, 15 of compressed air are applied continuously as long as the carousel 1 is in motion. Air jet pressures ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 bar can be applied, but preferably a pressure of one bar determined by tests and producing an optimum bonding effect of the mail item 3 against the second wall 6 of the receptacle is preferably used. 2.
  • the spacing between the injection system 4 and the carousel 1 is sufficient to integrate the blower there.
  • the deflectors 12 as well as the blower 13 can be arranged individually or simultaneously in the sorting machine according to the invention.
  • the combination of the two techniques improves the performance of the transfer of mail items from the entry conveyor to the sorting conveyor by a factor of more than thirty.
  • the number of articles presenting a defect in injection into the carousel can be reduced to approximately 0.06%, which makes it possible to meet the current requirements of users of sorting machines and also to expand the range of items to be processed. It is obvious that the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment which has just been described, but extends to any variant obvious to a person skilled in the art for injecting mail items into receptacles.
