Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for extracting ein ⁇ zelner flat broadcasts from a separating line according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the transmission current generated in the separating line is mechanically grasped by rigid, driven take-up rollers and, on the opposite side, arranged on a cantilevered rocker roller or belts running over it and further transported at a higher speed (DE 26 13 261 A1, US Pat 5 074 540, US 6 003 857).
- a higher speed DE 26 13 261 A1, US Pat 5 074 540, US 6 003 857.
- Short shipments are thus held only partially, which in the unfavorable case can lead to transport disruptions, program rotations or transmission damage.
- the shipments are with
- US Pat. No. 3,372,925 discloses a device in which a deflection roller of a conveyor belt is arranged on a deflection axis together with take-up rollers within a separating line.
- the transport belt and take-over rollers are driven independently by a single motor. After the final separation by a separating role, the items at the exit of the separating line become a take-over and a pressure roller of a subsequent to the separation line
- a device in which at the output of a separating line a deflection roller of a transport belt and a further deflection roller of a further transport belt are jointly arranged ange ⁇ arranged on an axis.
- the transport belts are arranged opposite rollers mounted on a pivotable frame, over which a frame forming an inlet is guided. The inlet forming
- the singulated items are transferred from the exit of the singling line to belts of a pick-up area guided by take-over rollers.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for extracting individual flat broadcasts from a Ver ⁇ zufungsumble, in which the acquisition of Sen- fertilize regardless of the shipment thickness is largely bumpless and the broadcasts regardless of their length at any time are completely guided ,
- the individually mounted deflection rollers of the transport belts at the exit of the separation path are independent of The transfer belt driven transfer rollers of a subsequent transfer area on a common Um ⁇ steering axis rotatably arranged.
- the mail items are provided with pressure rollers pressing with spring force, which are pivotably mounted in a locally fixed pivot point in front of them and laterally offset from the transport channel Syn ⁇ chron with the take-over rollers driven rollers are stored rotatably.
- an inlet forming belt are ge leads.
- FIG. 2 shows a representation of the section A-A of FIG. 1
- the transition of the last transport section of the separating track 1 to the transfer unit should be realized without a transport gap to each other.
- the consignment 5, which is pressed into the separating strip 1 by a retaining band 2 against the rearmost transport belt 3 and additionally sucked in by a vacuum chamber 4, is trans ported in the direction of arrow S. Possibly adhering multiple deductions are retained by the high coefficient of friction of the retaining band 2.
- the takeover area 6 arranged at the end of the singling line 1 consists of pickup rollers 7 with drive belt 8 and associated motor 9 and a spring-loaded belt rocker 10 with pressure rollers 11 and rocker belt 12.
- the rocker pivot point 14 lies in the drive axle of the rollers 13 for the rocker belts 12 which are driven in synchronism with the transfer rollers 7.
- the pressure rollers 11 are pressed by a pressure spring 15 against the rollers Drive belt 8 pressed to the take-over rollers 7.
- the individually mounted deflection rollers 16 of the transport belt 3 from the separating line 1 and the take-over rollers 7 from the transfer area 6 are mounted on the transfer point on a common deflection axis 17.
- the transport belts 3 of the separation line 1 alternate at the transfer point in the amount of alternately with the drive belt 8 from the transfer area 6 from. Due to the common Umlenkach ⁇ se 17 of the last pulleys 16 of the separation line 1 and the take-over rollers 7 an absolutely gap-free transport transition is possible.
- Swing belt 12 always takes place at the same angle regardless of the mailing thickness. If the swingarm Point 14 arranged relatively close to the transport path, ie, the inlet angle of the rocker 10 to the transport path is small, no inadmissible shock loads of the shipments un ⁇ different thickness occur. After a mailing leading edge has darkened a light barrier 18 / 18a at the transfer location, if necessary the drive motor of the transport line 3 of the singling line 1 can be switched off. The consignment 5 is pulled from this moment by the transfer unit with the takeover and pinch rollers 7,11 against the stationary conveyor belt 3 of the separation line 1. The program 5 evtl. Adhesive double prints are additionally separated in this start stop mode. In short distance after the.
- Transfer point then follows a shroud transport system for further transport of the consignments, of which the first deflection rollers 19 are shown.
- one of the two deflection rollers 19 can be deflected against a pressure spring 20. Since the items 5 are more likely to be seized between the take-up and pinch rollers 7, 11 and between the deflection rollers 19 of the shroud transport system, the small gap between them in the transport path has no negative effects.
