Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for reversing the direction of flat consignments in consignment sorting systems with feeding and discharging shroud conveyors.
  • this distribution information In consignment sorting systems in which flat consignments etc. Reading and printing devices are supplied in order to sort the mail items according to the distribution information applied to their surface, this distribution information must be located at defined positions. If this is not the case, the mail items must be brought into the working position by rotating them about their longitudinal and / or vertical axis.
  • the invention has for its object a low effort
  • the feeding shroud conveyor consisting of two endless, revolving belts, between which the consignments are clamped and transported one after the other, is followed by a consecration for dividing the consignments in alternation on two shroud transport routes that run apart at an acute angle, each with two endless belts, which are separated each connected to a controlled and reversibly driven conveyor line, in which the mail items are also transported clamped.
  • Both conveyor lines are driven by a drive roller arranged between them and the mail items are guided around the drive roller in such a wrap angle that the mail items are braked and accelerated almost without slipping, taking into account the frictional forces.
  • Each conveyor line is designed in such a way that, when it is returned, it directs the mail items at an acute angle to the respective feeding cover band transport line into a discharging cover band transport means with two endless, revolving belts.
  • the braking process is only started when the rear edge of the respective consignment has left the shroud transport line. At all times, the shipments are non-positively guided in the device. It is thus possible to process mail streams with small gaps between the mail items with only one device for reversing the direction.
  • the two shroud transport means that remove the mail items during the return transport are advantageously guided to a junction with an exit.
  • Another option for the low-cost execution of the controlled and reversibly driven conveyor lines, but with a limited range of mailing formats, is to provide an outer, endless shroud for each of these, which is guided over two deflection rollers, and the common drive roller.
  • 2a-d are very schematic plan views of the device for reversing the direction at different, successive times.
  • the flat mail items 30, 31, 32 are routed alternately via a shroud conveyor 1 (not shown in detail here) and a controllable switch 2 to two shroud transport routes which run apart at an acute angle.
  • the right cover band transport path consists of a first endless belt 3, which is deflected and returned via a first deflection roller 4, and a second endless belt 5, which is deflected and returned via a second deflection roller 6.
  • the left cover band transport section also consists of a third endless belt 9, which is deflected and returned via a third deflecting roller 10, and a fourth endless belt 11, which is deflected and returned via a fourth deflecting roller 12.
  • Each shroud conveyor line routes the consignments to a controlled and reversibly driven conveyor line.
  • the conveyor line following the right shroud conveyor line consists of a fifth, outer endless belt 15, which is deflected via two deflection rollers 16 and a sixth, inner endless belt 17, which runs over a larger drive roller 18 and a smaller deflection roller 19.
  • This endless belt 17 is on the same time on the opposite side, the inner endless belt of the conveyor track following the left cover belt transport section, which still has a seventh, outer endless belt 20 which is deflected via two deflecting rollers 21.
  • the deflection rollers 16, 21 of the conveyor lines which are located close to one another, are spaced apart from one another such that the thickest mail items 30, 31, 32, which do not have to be transported back or which are longer than the reversible conveyor line, pass through the gap between the deflection rollers. len 16.21 can be fed unhindered to a subsequent means of transport. Since the directions of transport of the shroud conveyor lines and the subsequent conveyor lines are inclined to one another, there is a necessary wrap angle with which the mail items 30, 31, 32 are guided around the drive drum 18.
  • the previous one is no longer necessary as before To move mail item 31 out of the reverse conveyor line before the subsequent mail item 32 enters it. It is only necessary that the drive drum 18 has reached its nominal speed when the subsequent consignment 32 enters the reversing conveyor section at this nominal speed and that the braking process is only started as soon as the rear edge of the consignment 32 entering the reversible conveyor section the feeding cover band transport section and the previous broadcast 31 the reversible conveyor has left the route. This makes it possible to implement 18 small gaps between the reversed items 30, 31, 32 despite the braking and acceleration processes using only one drive drum. When the front and rear edges of the items 30, 31, 32 have reached the positions described is determined by means of light barriers Lil to Li3 and the route clock.
  • the first mail item 30 of the incoming mail flow has left the upper or right conveying line 50 in the feed direction and is transported reversed at the nominal speed by the associated removing cover band transport means 60.
  • the following second consignment 31 is still traveling at nominal speed into the conveyor section 51 on the other side and is braked starting at the time shown, at which the trailing edge is just leaving the assigned cover band transport section 41.
  • the second consignment 31 has come to a standstill, because of the inherent rigidity of the consignment 31, its rear edge has been pivoted in the direction of the associated discharging shroud transport means 61, as shown, and the drive drum 18 is started reversed, so that the second consignment 31 enters the Shroud conveyor 61 is transported.
  • the third consignment 32 is transported alternately in the shroud transport line 40 which feeds to the right in the transport direction at nominal speed.
  • FIG. 2c shows a subsequent point in time at which the drive roller 18 was accelerated to the nominal speed and the second consignment 31 can therefore run into the discharging shroud transport means 61 running at this speed at nominal speed.
  • the third consignment 32 has arrived at the end of the supply belt conveyor section 40 to be fed and can be taken over by the subsequent conveyor section 50 running at this speed.
  • the second consignment 31 has meanwhile left the conveyor section 51 and the third consignment 32 has just left the last clamping point of the shroud conveyor section 40, so that the braking process for the conveyor section 50 can be started by the working drum 18.
  • the fourth consignment 33 of the consignment stream has arrived at the switch and the further procedure is as described for FIGS. 2a-c, only on the other side of the drive drum 18.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif comprenant deux voies de transport (50, 51) à sangle présentant un sens de transport réversible, lesquelles sont entraînées par un rouleau de commande (18) commun. Les marchandises (30, 31, 32) du flux de marchandises sont réparties alternativement sur les voies de transport (50, 51) à sangles. Les marchandises transportées en retour (30, 31, 32) sont dirigées dans un moyen de transport (60, 61) à sangle. Le rouleau de commande (18) est commandé, de manière à ce qu'au départ d'une marchandise suivante (32) sur une voie de transport (50, 51) à sangle, la marchandise (31) transportée en retour est activée à une vitesse nominale, puis le processus de ralentissement est activé, lorsque le bord arrière de chaque marchandise (32) a quitté la voie de transport (40, 41) à sangle et que la marchandise précédente (31) n'est plus calée dans une voie de transport (50, 51) à sangle commandée et réversible.
