Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for exchanging stacked items between a container and a shelf according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as two associated uses of this apparatus according to the preambles of claims 6 and 8.
- postal consignments are devices for the exchange of stacked shipments between a box-shaped container and a storage flat known. In this case, loading or emptying of the mail items in / from a container is made possible.
- the shelf can z. B. be a treadmill, which transports the stacked items.
- Intervention troughs are provided in the side walls and in Behalterboden to facilitate removal;
- MCS cartridge - Slotted sidewalls and recesses in the side walls (MCS cartridge) are used so that a sliding out of the good with a rake occurs while opening and closing a side wall of the container; - Slotted side walls and recesses in the container bottom are used, allowing a lifting of the good up with a kassettenformigen rake with additional folding floor for reloading the Good takes place;
- a multiple 180 ° tilting or turning the container is carried out so that a discharge takes place by repeated reloading.
- the storage surface has at least one usable support element, to which a stack of items standing on edge can be aligned in a vertical direction,
- the supporting element and the container should move synchronously in a transport direction
- the container has a first to the tray surface laterally disposed position, from which usually an operator initiates a discharge or a load.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for exchanging stacked shipments between a container and a storage surface, in which the stack shape of the consignments is not at risk when emptying and / or loading of the container.
- the object is achieved by the features of the device claim 1 as well as with regard to special use fertilize one by the features of claims 6 and 8.
- the invention relates to a device for exchanging stacked mail items between a container and a storage surface (eg with rolling elements or a treadmill), in which: -
- the shelf has at least one insertable support element (or possibly the hands of an operator) to which a stack of standing on edge programs in a vertical direction is aligned (it does not mean, however, that the stack is on the support surface, since he could also be in the container or aligned with at least one support wall of the container),
- the container has a first to the storage surface laterally disposed layer, which is preferably adopted before an exchange of shipments.
- the container is coupled to a first sliding means which effects a second movement of the container perpendicular to the transport direction between the first layer and a second layer arranged within the deposition surface.
- a support wall of the container and the support element hold a same position along the transport direction. That is, during side-to-side movement, they form a single support element permanently secured to the stack, such that the stack remains vertically aligned between the first and second layers on this permanent support element.
- a permanent support element can be realized, for example, by projecting the support element into the support wall of the container or by means of a coupling mechanism. Therefore, the stack quality is advantageously preserved intact in the exchange of mailings.
- a simple suitable container which has three walls and a bottom, wherein two opposite first and second walls (one of these two walls is the above-mentioned supporting wall) of the container each have a columnar recess.
- the container has a blade formed with a bottom and a wall with two further walls arranged laterally of the blade, which have the column-shaped recesses.
- the container may comprise a transport section of the storage surface on a paddle, in particular as the container is moved sideways in the direction of the storage surface (see below the filling of the container).
- a side wall arranged perpendicular to the depositing surface can be inserted into the column-shaped recesses.
- the side wall can z.
- Example be designed as an elongated mechanical element with one end, which penetrates along the transport direction between the third wall of the container and the stack of mail items in the container.

- the device according to the invention thus makes possible two complementary uses which are suitable for automated emptying and loading of the container with respect to the depositing surface. are suitable.
- the emptying and the load can be continuously during transport of mail items along the transport direction z. B. by means of a guide rail for varying the lateral distance between the container and Ablagelage done. This can automate a complete replacement process. At the same time, it prevents the transport from being stopped frequently, as in a manual operation, so that the throughput of postal processes is increased or fewer manual interventions are required.
- the movement of the container relative to the storage surface along the transport direction can also be done manually.
- the previous support elements or pressure medium can also be replaced if necessary by the hands of an operator. With manual operation of the device, no kinematics or energy supply is required.
- a semi or fully automatic emptying of the containers is easy to implement.
- the number of necessary kinematic movements is reduced to a minimum.
- Semi-automatic or fully automatic dispensing and feeding of the containers can be easily achieved by means of standard conveying elements.
- the emptying process is therefore very reliable, in particular a so-called JAM risk (i.e., a jam, a blockage) is considerably reduced.
- the containers must also be placed only on a transhipment or unloading in conjunction with the shelf. Another transport is carried out as required for further processing steps.
- the container By means of a third movement via a second sliding means whose thrust direction now to the transport direction and the (lateral) thrust direction of the first sliding means is vertical, the container can be moved up and down with respect to the storage surface, depending on whether it includes a desired portion of the shelf, hitting or leaves. This is z. B. facilitates a lateral approach or withdrawal.
- a second sliding means for the third (up / down) movement a rising / rising guide rail or a vertically sprung device can be used, which is arranged for example laterally to the storage surface.
- the container may have a bottom which has columnar depressions (and thus also ribs) into which bifurcated end elements of the storage surface can be inserted, so that either the storage surface (via its end elements) or the container (via its ribs) takes over the carrier function of the mailings ,
