Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sorting system for sorting sorting pieces, in particular mail items, having a holding body open at the front, at least one sorting compartment in the holding body for receiving sorted sorting pieces and at least one separating element for subdividing the sorting compartment into sub-compartments.
  • Sorting systems are used in particular for the sorting of mail pieces.
  • Known systems include, for example, a shelf-like body with shelf-like horizontal partitions that form sorting compartments.
  • the individual sorting compartments are subdivided by fixed dividing walls so that individual lower compartments open to the front form.
  • the individual sub-subjects are assigned for the case of mail sorting, for example, individual Zustellbezirke.
  • the user sorts the disorderly present post by delivery districts into the sub-compartments. After complete sorting he takes the mailpieces from the respective sub-subjects and puts them, for example, in the order of the delivery districts in his mail bag or another transport unit. The mail is already sorted in this way and can be taken out in the order of delivery districts from the transport unit and delivered.
  • a sorting system with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is made US 2004/0080105 A1 known.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sorting system that allows easy and time-saving sorting. This object is achieved with a sorting system with the features of claim 1. Subclaims are directed to preferred embodiments.
  • At least one sorting compartment has a pull-out drawer, which can be at least partially pulled out of the holding body, for example on telescopic rails.
  • a corresponding stop can be provided so that the pull-out can not fall off when pulling out.
  • the sorting system according to the invention has at least one sorting compartment with a preferably open front, Ausziehlade. If a plurality of sorting compartments are provided, then advantageously all have an extracting pallet configured according to the invention. However, embodiments are also possible in which individual sorting compartments do not have a pull-out drawer and are therefore not configured according to the invention. Unless stated otherwise, the term "sorting compartment” is to be understood in the following as meaning a sorting compartment with a removal drawer designed according to the invention.
  • At least one separating element which is provided for dividing the sorter with Ausziehlade is configured as parallel to the pull-out of the Ausziehlade arranged separator which is not firmly connected to the Ausziehlade and does not move when moving out of the Ausziehlade in the pull-out, so that the Ausziehlade after the moving out is no longer divided by the at least one separator.
  • the Ausziehlade forming the bin is divided by the separators into individual sub-compartments, the separators do not move when pulling out the Ausziehlade, so that the subdivision is canceled during the extraction process of the Ausziehlade. When pulled out, the sorting compartment forming Ausziehlade is therefore no longer divided.
  • the function is explained by the sorting of mailpieces.
  • the user sorts the mail pieces into the discharge drawer divided by the separators, as long as it is divided by the separators.
  • the individual sub-compartments formed by the separators may be associated with individual mail delivery districts.
  • the user pulls out the pull-out to the front.
  • the separators do not move with this pull-out movement, so that the subdivision into sub-compartments is canceled.
  • the postal items are sorted by delivery districts in the Ausziehlade.
  • the mail pieces can now be pushed together by the user in the lateral direction and taken out in a single step from the Ausziehlade and inserted into the mail bag or the transport unit.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for sorting mail pieces, for example, according to delivery districts of a postman.
  • the invention can be used advantageously in all sorting processes in which sorting pieces have to be brought into a subdivision and are subsequently further processed in the order of this subdivision.
  • the invention proves to be particularly effective when several separators designed according to the invention are provided in a sorting compartment.
  • the pull-out drawer has no subdivision at all in the pulled-out state and, to that extent, a pull-out drawer corresponds to a sorting compartment.
  • a pull-out drawer corresponds to a sorting compartment.
  • two or more sorting compartments are provided per Ausziehlade, the individual sorting compartments are in turn divided in the non-extended state of the Ausziehlade by the separators, but after the extraction is no longer subdivision.
  • a pull-out drawer has a fixed center cheek in its center, so that a pull-out drawer has two sorting compartments on the right and left of the center cheek.
  • Such a subdivision of a Ausziehlade into several sorting compartments may be useful, for example, even in very large Ausziehladen in which after removal of the Ausziehlade and insofar repeal of the separation into sub-compartments would result in a large non-compartment divided, the content would be difficult to handle when removing.
  • Such a center cheek which, in contrast to the separators join in the pull-out of the pull-out, can also be made displaceable. For example, depending on the requirements, it can be screwed in at different points on the pull-out drawer. So the total size of a bin is adjustable to the typical volume of a mailbag correspond to. It can also be provided several firmly anchored in the Ausziehlade or anchored center cheeks.
  • the separators In order for the separators not to move along with the pull-out process of the pull-out drawer, it is advantageous to have guides or openings in the rear wall on the rear side of the pull-out drawer, through which the separators can slide when the pull-out drawer is pulled out.
  • the rear wall of the Ausziehlade slots wherein the individual slots are designed such that a separator can slide through them.
  • the number of guides or slots corresponds to at least the number of desired separators.
  • Particularly flexible is an embodiment in which a larger number of guides or slots is provided at predetermined intervals, so that by selecting the guides or slots used, the number and spacing of the individual separators can be selected.
  • the guides or slots are dimensioned such that they guide the separators.
  • the lateral extent of the guides or slots may be selected so that it substantially corresponds to the thickness of the individual separators, but without clamping them.
  • the guides or slots in the rear wall of the Ausziehlade determine the spatial orientation of the separators. Particularly space-economical is a vertical orientation of the separators, that is, a vertical orientation of the slots or guides. However, embodiments are also possible in which the guides or slots and thus the separators are aligned obliquely.
  • the slots in the rear wall of the Ausziehlade can have guide posts in an advantageous development, for example, are provided on the outside of the rear wall of the Ausziehlade and support the lateral support of the separators, especially when the Ausziehlade is pulled out.
  • Such guide supports also serve to stabilize the slotted rear wall. They can be designed so that they increase the effective thickness of the rear wall, if the rear wall, for example, is thin-walled.
  • the separators are designed such that they can be removed from the sorting system. In this way, a user can use the separators according to needs and requirements in different numbers or different distances.
  • the separators are connected to the holding body or to an element fixedly connected to the holding body.
  • this connection is designed detachable.
  • the at least one separator has for this purpose at its pull-out in the Ausziehlade rear edge disposed on a hook, which cooperates with a retaining edge or support rod which is fixedly connected to the holding body, wherein the holding edge or support rod is aligned parallel to the rear wall of the Ausziehlade and in a Height is arranged, which corresponds to the altitude of the hook of a separator in its inserted state.
  • the separator can not move in the pull-out direction.
  • the hook holds the separator on the support bar or the holding edge so that the pull-out drawer moves without the separator and the separator loses its separation function.
  • the retaining edge or the support rod aligned horizontally and the hook of the separator points with its opening down. The hooking of the hook with the holding edge or the holding rod is then effected or supported by the gravity of the separator.
  • hook is intended here to generally denote elements which have a recess for gripping around the holding rod or the retaining edge.
  • the hook is on its outside and / or the support rod or the retaining edge is bevelled or rounded at the Ausziehlade facing side.
  • the hook slides on the holding edge or the holding bar until it can embrace the holding bar or the holding edge with its hook opening.
  • the separator then falls downwards in such a way that the hook hooks onto the retaining edge or the retaining rod.
  • the separators can be used in the Ausziehlade, for example, in the desired number and desired distance. They are held, for example, by the guides or slots at the rear of the Ausziehlade.
  • the Ausziehlade is now inserted together with the separators in the holding body.
  • the hooks of the separators hit the retaining bar or the retaining edge and move at least in the direction of the bevel rear area of the separators upwards. If the Ausziehlade further inserted, the hooks can engage around the support rod or the retaining edge, so that the raised separators fall down and the hooks engage with the holding rod or the retaining edge.
  • the separators are firmly fixed and can no longer move with the pull-out drawer.
  • the sorting pieces can be sorted into the sub-compartments of the pull-out tray delimited by the separators. A moving out of the Ausziehlade after sorting the sorting done without moving the hooked separators so that they lose their separation function.

The condition arises again, as he for example in Fig. 7 is shown, in which the Ausziehlade 18 is divided by the separators in lower compartments. The sorting plant is now ready for another sorting process.
  • the sorting system works mechanically and is therefore very cost effective and robust.
