Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for separating overlapping flat items according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a separating device with a plurality of separating stages in succession for separating flat broadcasts in a standing position is described, which has a local retention band over the entire length with strip-shaped retaining elements, which are spaced above each other, offset relative to the trigger belt and in height the trigger belt on the retaining strap.
  • pressure elements distributed over the length are provided which press with spring force from behind directly against the retaining band.
  • the pressure elements have at their ends Andruckrollen with flanged wheels for holding the retaining band in height.
  • the restraining belt When passing a misshapen consignment, the restraining belt may shift inadvertently toward the pressure elements, so that the restraint belt may be damaged. Malfunctions and double deductions are the result. If such a fault occurs due to the jamming of several shipments, the pressure on the shipments must be removed and the operator then removes the jammed shipments. To do this, the transport path must be opened by moving the restraining strap backwards from its working position. There is a risk that the restraining strap releases from the pressure elements and thus is no longer guided in its position.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for separating overlapping flat items with a locally fixed restraining band and pressure elements which permits displacements of the restraining band in the longitudinal direction on the pressure elements in the case of thick or bulky items and which also when the transport path is open ensures the leadership of the retaining band on the pressure elements sure.
  • the belt loops are advantageously performed under pretension on the pressure rollers.
  • the pressure element comprises a pressure lever pivotally mounted on a rotation axis, at whose one end the pivot axis is located and at the other end engages a spring element and presses the end with the pivot axis in the direction of restraining strap.
  • the pressure of a relatively wide restraint strap can be ensured over the entire width, it is advantageous if on the respective axis of rotation another spring loaded with pressure lever with coupling lever and pressure rollers is arranged to be movable.
  • the pinch rollers have the belt loops leading outboard pulleys on the outside, the flange disks running in slots in the restraining belt.
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation of the section A-A from FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a representation of the section B-B from FIG. 1
  • a stagnant retaining band 1 is arranged, which has two narrow strip-shaped, raised contact surfaces 11 over the tape length.
  • the conveyor belt 6 and the contact surfaces 11 are offset in height to each other so that they can overlap in the rest position in the direction of the vector on the broadside broadside, without the friction surfaces in the absence of shipments 7.8 in the transport path touching each other and thereby wear out quickly. This can be generated even for very thin consignments 7.8 of the necessary contact pressure.
  • the force exerted by the retaining band 1 on the programs 7,8 contact pressure is generated by each mounted in a pivot point D2 Andruckhebel 5, at the side facing away from the retaining band 1 ends each a tension spring 9 engages.
  • elastic belt loops 2 are each secured with a narrow, vertical weld 10 in the longitudinal direction of the retaining band 1 (for each separation stage two). Every belt Loop 2 is guided by two provided with flanged pressure rollers 3, which are rotatably mounted at the ends of a coupling lever 4, under bias. In this case, the flanged wheels run in slots of the restraint belt 1.
  • the coupling lever 4 is movably mounted approximately centrally on the free end of the pressure lever 5 via a rotary bearing D1.
  • the pressure lever 5 is in this case via the tension spring 9 in
