Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for loading a separating device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • sorting devices also called “singler”
  • sorting machines for stacked flat objects, eg. B. flat broadcasts used.
  • the separators are able to separate flat objects with different properties at ever higher throughputs.
  • the flat objects are thereby loaded on a feeding means, a so-called feeder bed, upright stacked and controlled by means of a stack support which holds the objects upright, pushed according to the deduction rate to a take-off device.
  • a feeding means a so-called feeder bed
  • the trigger pulls the items individually from the stack and directs them into the transport path of the sorting machine.
  • the remaining stack must be combined with a new stack placed on the feeder bed. This is done by pushing the new stack either manually or automatically at the stack held by the stack support and pivoting the stack support behind the new stack into the transport path so that a combination of both stacks is brought about.
  • the feeder bed has an extremely rough or profiled surface during an automatic feed, eg if turning spindles are used ( EP 0 771 748 B1 ), through which the objects are transported led to the trigger device, is It is not possible to push another stack on this feeder bed to the already located before the trigger stack without damaging the objects zoom.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for loading a first feeder having separating device flat objects with stacks of standing on one edge flat objects, even with rough and profiled surface of the first feeding means with improved ergonomics, a simple loading with other stacks , in which the stacks are combined, allows.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • a second feeding means on which another stack of flat objects standing on an edge, is arranged and arranged so that the further stack approaches the end of the first stack or the take-off device without contact with the first feeding means movable and loadable on the first feeding means.
  • the feeding means have stacking supports which are movable in the direction of the stacking direction and can be moved in the stacking direction, so that the guiding and combining of the stacks can be carried out effectively.
  • a stack support of the first feed means which is movable perpendicular to the stacking direction and can be moved in the stacking direction, is coupled to the end of the second feed means directed towards the discharge apparatus.
  • the second feeding means on which the flat objects are standing consists of guided, narrow, rigid, aligned perpendicular to the transport direction and articulated interconnected elements that are movable in the stacking direction. This corresponds to so-called roller shutter elements, so that the roller shutter track easily moves back and forth and can also be guided down.
  • this can be realized by at least one circumferential, supported underfloor belt.
  • the underfloor belt locally fixable and slidably arrange the underfloor belt device including rollers, guides and frame in the stacking direction. This makes it possible to bring the objects without relative movement from the second feeding means to the first feeding means.
  • the part of the second feeding means facing the drawing-off device can be lowered into the first feeding means, so that the objects reach the first feeding means at the end of the second feeding means.
  • the flat objects are to be pushed over the surface of the second supply means in the direction of the withdrawal device manually or only by means of the stack supports easily and non-destructively or armily, it is advantageous if the surface has a low coefficient of friction.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device according to the invention for loading with a second feed means H, consisting of a rigid base H1, which can be moved in the stacking direction.
  • a second feed means H consisting of a rigid base H1 which can be moved in the stacking direction.
  • stacks 1, 2 of flat objects for example, mail, such as letters
  • first feeding means F1 for conveying the flat objects standing on the edge.
  • different, standing on the edge flat objects of a first stack 1 on the first feeding means F1 are arranged.
  • the first stack 1 is aligned by means of the first feed means F1 and a stack support P1 against the take-off device A, which deducts the respective foremost object from the first stack 1 and forwards piecewise.
  • the second stack 2 is arranged on a second feed means H located above the first feed means F1, consisting of a rigid support H1 movable in the stacking direction, similar to a baking tray.
  • the second stack 2 at the transition U to the first stack 1 without stress of the flat objects, in particular rough and profiled surface of the first feeding means F1, brought here, since the first supply means is not touched.
  • the second stack 2 is also held in the upright position by a displaceable stack support 2 exerting pressure on the stack 2. so that the second stack 2 remains correctly aligned (against the first stack 1) when the first stack support P1 is pulled upwards and the rigid support H1 is pulled back. It is desirable that the friction factor on the surface of the base H1 be in contact with the second stack 2 is selected to be small, so that the delivery of all types / formats of mail items to the first guide F1 is flawless and low-stress.
  • the first feeding means F1 is realized with a circumferential underfloor belt, which has a driven roller R1. In the working position, i. when singling, the first pile support P1 is coupled to the underfloor belt.
  • FIG. 2 shows a device for loading, as shown in FIG. 1, but with a surrounding underfloor belt H2 and a driven roller R2 as the second feeding means H instead of the rigid support H1.
  • the loading is carried out as described in the above example.
  • the upper part of the underfloor H2 above the first feeding means F1 must be guided over the length and arranged supported.
  • the entire underfloor belt arrangement can also be displaceable. It is also possible to realize the function of the second feeding means H with guided, narrow, rigid, perpendicular to the transport direction aligned and articulated interconnected elements that are movable in the stacking direction, similar to a roller shutter to realize.
  • the underfloor belt H2 or the roller shutter-like path is fixed at a position X2 and the underfloor device H, H2 including rollers, guides and frame is slidably arranged in the stacking direction, it is possible by retracting the underfloor belt device, the narrow objects of the on the underfloor H2 or the roller shutter elements second stack 2 without relative movement of the objects to the underfloor H2 to gently slide this on the supply means H1.
  • FIG 3 the transition U of the device for loading with underfloor belt H2 and coupled first stack support P1 is shown.
  • the stack support P1 is with a subscript and a raised roller R3, R4 are each coupled via a mechanical arm V1, between which the underfloor belt H2 is supplied.
  • a sinking of the underfloor belt H2 or of the second feeder H into the first feeder F1 at the transition U is realized.
  • the coupling between the stack support P1 and the underfloor H2 can also be made triggered if necessary.
  • a further position of the group stack support roller belt is shown by dashed lines due to a shift, so that the adjustability of the proportion of the roller-shaped holder is clearly shown.
  • the device for loading with spiral elements (rotating spindles) and a stacking support P1 as the first feeding means F1 is shown.
  • the stack support P1 In its lower operating position, the stack support P1 is coupled with the movement of the first supply means F1 to the extraction device A and conveys the stack 1 according to the deduction rate to the discharge device A.
  • the stack support P1 is guided here by a laterally arranged to Auflade constitutional guide rail S1, on which also the stack support P1 can be brought into the lower and the upper position.
  • the second supply means H consists of several narrow underground belts H2.
  • the stack support P1 of the first supply means F1 is coupled to the discharge end of the second supply means H. If a second stack 2 is to be loaded because the first stack 1 is too small, the second stack 2 is placed manually on the underfloor belts H2.
  • the underfloor tapes H2 coupled to the pile support P1 are also removed from the end of the first stack 1, so that the flat objects of the second stack 2 are deposited on the first feeder F1 continuously and precisely with no component of motion in the stacking direction.
  • the underfloor belts H2 additionally have a low friction factor.
  • FIG. 7 shows the stack support P1 in the lower position behind the total stack 1, 2, holding it.
  • the total stack 1,2, now stack 1 is completely on the first feeding means F1 and is transported to the withdrawal device according to the withdrawal rate. It is now possible to load another batch 2.
  • the procedure when using the device according to the invention can likewise be carried out without problems.
  • the execution of the first feeding means F1 without stack support P1 is not essential to the invention. Also possible are a smooth surface, belt bands or spindles.
