Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of mail processing and more particularly relates to an envelope loading device for a mail processing machine.
- Mail processing machines conventionally comprise three main elements: a mailpiece feeder, a franking post of these mailpieces disposed at the output of the feeder (incorporating or not a weighing device) and disposed at the output from the franking station, a receiving device for receiving the franked mail items at the franking station.
- the present invention relates to a simple charging device, compact (that is to say reduced space) and ergonomic while having a power supply much higher than that of a standard magazine feeder and which is not limited by downstream unstacking functions and selection of envelopes made by the feeder.
- an envelope loading device having a receiving tray provided with transport rollers for receiving a stack of mail items, jogging means for holding these mail items against a referencing wall, and a drive motor for rotating said transport rollers, characterized in that it comprises control means for actuating said drive motor and causing ejection of a portion of said stack of mail items by function of a mail presence sensor mounted at said receiving tray and whose state depends on the presence or absence of mail items in a downstream feed device.
- the device of the invention further comprises a mail presence sensor whose state depends on the presence or absence of at least one mail item on said receiving tray.
- the said mail presence sensors are chosen from mechanical, magnetic or optical type detectors.
- it further comprises a guillotine wall mounted at the output of said loading device and whose vertical positioning defines the thickness of the stack of ejected mail items.
- the present invention also relates to the method implemented in this receiving device and wherein by the action on control means acting on said drive motor is caused to eject a portion of said stack of articles of mail based on the presence or absence of mail items in a downstream feed device reported by a mail presence sensor mounted on said receiving tray.
- the thickness of said stack of ejected mail items is defined by the vertical positioning of a guillotine wall mounted at the output of said loading device and the presence of at least one mail piece on said receiving tray. is detected by a mail presence sensor.
- Figures 1 and 2 respectively show in exploded perspective and in an operating position a device for loading mail items according to the invention to be mounted upstream of a mail processing machine feeder.
- This mail item feeder 10 conventionally comprises a mailpiece reception tray 10A and means 10B for receiving mail items. unstacking and selecting, one after the other, the unstuffed mail items. To allow proper management of the stack of mail items disposed on the receiving tray, that is to say ensure unstacking without stuffing or double selection of mail items, the storage capacity of this feeder is limited at a height of about 200 mm, which corresponds in practice to a storage capacity of about 200 envelopes of standard European format each filled with a sheet of A4.
- this capacity is greatly increased by the addition upstream of this feeder of a loading device 12 comprising a receiving plate 14 provided with a referencing wall 16 and lateral jogging moving means 18. to receive and hold in position a first stack of mail items of substantial height.
- This loading device further comprises a motorized ejection system by a drive motor 20 (illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5) acting on transport rollers 22 via, for example, pinions and toothed belts, for associated with a guillotine wall 24 extracting from this first pile of mail items a second stack of mail items of a height adapted to the processing capacity of the receiving tray of the feeder and to which it will be ejected, this height being defined by the vertical positioning of the guillotine wall.
- the driving motor is actuated by a processing module 26 (also illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5) according to the state of two mail presence sensors, of mechanical, magnetic or preferably optical type, arranged at the receiving plate. of the loading device, the first 28 at the upper wall of this tray to detect the presence of envelopes in this device and the second 30 advantageously on the side wall of the tray facing the receiving tray of the feeder for detecting the presence of envelopes on the latter tray, for example by measuring the distance separating this side wall from the lateral side of the envelopes.
- Figure 3 illustrates the initial position of the loading device according to the invention before the putting into service of the mail processing machine (not shown).
- the receiving platforms of the loading device and the feeder of this mail processing machine have each been previously loaded by the operator by their respective stack of envelopes.
- about 200 envelopes are disposed on the receiving tray 10A of the feeder and preferably about 600 to 800 envelopes on the receiving tray 14 of the loading device.
- the drive motor 20 of the loading device is at rest and the envelopes contained in this device are therefore immobile.
- the mail presence sensors 28, 30 in the loading device and the feeder are in a "high" initial state signifying the presence of mail items both in the loading device and on the receiving tray of the feeder.
- the commissioning of the mail processing machine will control the operation of the feeder which will then unstack the stack of envelopes and eject one by one the envelopes to the franking station of this machine to achieve less 50 seconds later (for a rate of 15,000 envelopes / hour) to the configuration of Figure 4 in which there remains only about ten envelopes (less than 3 seconds of power of the machine) on the receiving tray of the feeder and where the second mail presence sensor 30 goes to a "low" level meaning by the same that the feeder will soon be empty and must be replenished (provided that the first 28 mail presence sensor by its "high” level indicates the presence of envelopes in the loading device).
- This replenishment step is illustrated in FIG. 5. It corresponds to the startup of the drive motor 20 which actuates the simultaneous displacement of the transport rollers ensuring unstacking of a portion of the stack of mail items from the delivery device.
- loading In practice all items that are not stopped by the wall of the guillotine 24.
- the feeder continues to eject one by one the remaining mail items remaining on its receiving tray at a rate of one every 240 ms (for a rate of 15,000 envelopes / hour) so that when the stack from the loading device is discharged on the tray of the feeder, it remains on it little more than one or two envelopes to treat.
- the receiving device is found in a position similar to that of Figure 3 (to the number of envelopes remaining on the tray near), the second mail presence sensor returning to a "high" level due to the presence of the new mail items and the drive motor is stopped.
- the envelope feeding capacity is increased.
- the ease of loading is particularly significant for the operator because of the small original capacity of the receiving tray of the feeder.
- the movement kinematics envelopes is simplified to the maximum allowing the realization of a loading device with reduced space.
- the loading device of the invention is of course also applicable to any other type of feeder.
