Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'empilage pour envois postaux comprenant un système de convoyage des envois vers un tasseur dans lequel les envois postaux sont empilés sur chant selon une certaine direction longitudinale les uns derrière les autres pour former une pile.The invention relates to a stacking device for postal items comprising a conveyor system of shipments to a packer in which the postal items are stacked on edge in a longitudinal direction one behind the other to form a stack.
De manière générale, un tel dispositif d'empilage se situe au niveau d'une sortie de tri d'une machine de tri.In general, such a stacking device is located at a sorting outlet of a sorting machine.
Sur la
La machine de tri 1 comprend classiquement une entrée d'alimentation 2 avec un magasin et un dépileur pour la mise en série sur chant d'envois postaux, un système d'acquisition 3, et un convoyeur à bandes 4 qui dirige les envois vers des sorties de tri 5 alignées les unes à côté des autres, chaque sortie de tri 5 étant munie d'un dispositif d'empilage.The sorting machine 1 conventionally comprises a feed inlet 2 with a magazine and an unstacker for placing serially on edge of mailpieces, an
Le système d'acquisition 3 réalise l'acquisition de l'image de la surface de chaque envoi postal comportant l'information d'adresse de distribution A. De plus, le système d'acquisition 3 est généralement couplé à un système de traitement pour la reconnaissance automatique d'adresse par OCR et à un système de vidéo codage par opérateur. Le décodage de l'adresse de distribution A détermine une destination de tri pour l'envoi qui correspond à une sortie de tri 5 de la machine.The
Ce type de machine 1 est destinée à trier les envois en plusieurs passes de tri, par exemple en deux passes de tri.This type of machine 1 is intended to sort the shipments in several sorting passes, for example in two sorting passes.
Sur la
Classiquement, un dispositif d'empilage 20 d'envois postaux P comprend un système de convoyage 21 pour transporter les envois vers un tasseur 22.Conventionally, a
Le système de convoyage 21 déplace un envoi postal P le long des sorties de tri 5 par l'intermédiaire d'un convoyeur principal 23. Des volets d'aiguillages 28, disposés le long du chemin de convoyage du convoyeur principal 23 au niveau de chaque dispositif d'empilage 20, dirigent un envoi vers un convoyeur d'empilage 24 d'un dispositif d'empilage particulier.The
Le convoyeur principal 23 est constitué par une courroie principale 25 qui s'étend le long des sorties de tri 5 et par une courroie d'insertion 26 qui s'étend entre deux sorties de tri et dont un segment longe la courroie principale 25. La courroie principale 25 est entraînée en mouvement par au moins une poulie motorisée (non montrée). Sur la
Le convoyeur d'empilage 24 est constitué par un segment d'une courroie d'insertion adjacente 26 et par une courroie d'empilage 27. La courroie d'empilage 27 s'étend en partie entre deux courroies d'insertion 26 de sorties de tri adjacentes et en partie entre la courroie d'insertion 26 et le tasseur correspondant 22. La courroie d'insertion 26 et la courroie d'empilage 27 ont un segment en commun en friction de sorte que l'entraînement de la courroie d'insertion 26 peut entraîner la courroie d'empilage 27. En conséquence, le sens de déplacement des envois postaux P est le même dans les convoyeurs 23 et 24, c'est-à-dire de gauche à droite dans l'exemple de la
En fonctionnement, un envoi postal P sur chant pincé dans sa partie inférieure entre les deux courroies 25 et 26 est transporté le long des sorties de tri 5. La rotation d'un volet d'aiguillage 28 dirige l'envoi P vers un convoyeur d'empilage 24. L'envoi postal P est pincé dans sa partie inférieure entre la courroie d'insertion 26 d'un empileur adjacent et la courroie d'empilage 27 pour venir s'insérer à l'arrière de la pile d'envois P. Sur la
On connait du document
Toutefois, de tels empileurs ne permettent pas de traiter un large spectre d'envois postaux, en particulier quand le débit atteint 40000 lettres par heure. Certains envois postaux auront tendance à percuter le dernier envoi de la pile formant ainsi un bourrage qui nécessite l'intervention coûteuse d'un opérateur.However, such stackers do not handle a wide range of postal items, especially when the rate reaches 40000 letters per hour. Some postal items will tend to hit the last shipment of the stack thus forming a jam that requires the costly intervention of an operator.
Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif d'empilage de conception simple, peu coûteux qui soit adapté à un large spectre de courrier.The object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages by providing a stacking device of simple design, low cost that is suitable for a wide range of mail.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif d'empilage pour envois postaux comprenant un système de convoyage des envois vers un tasseur dans lequel les envois postaux sont empilés sur chant selon une certaine direction longitudinale les uns derrière les autres pour former une pile, le dispositif comprenant en outre un premier déflecteur entre le système de convoyage et le tasseur, ce premier déflecteur étant orienté de façon oblique par rapport au système de convoyage, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un second déflecteur qui, avec le premier déflecteur, est disposé de telle manière à définir un trajet en chicane pour le bord supérieur d'un envoi, ledit premier déflecteur étant disposé au niveau d'un coin supérieur haut d'un envoi quand celui-ci est empilé dans le tasseur de telle manière à écarter le bord supérieur des envois par rapport à ladite direction longitudinale.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a stacking device for postal items comprising a system for conveying items to a packer in which the postal items are stacked on edge in a certain longitudinal direction one behind the other to form a packer. stack, the device further comprising a first deflector between the conveying system and the packer, the first deflector being oriented obliquely with respect to the conveying system, characterized in that it comprises a second deflector which, with the first deflector , is arranged in such a way as to define a baffle path for the upper edge of a consignment, said first deflector being disposed at a top top corner of a consignment when it is stacked in the packer in such a manner to discard the upper edge of the shipments relative to said longitudinal direction.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif d'empilage selon l'invention, le déflecteur forme un angle d'environ 30° avec ladite direction longitudinale.According to another particular embodiment of the stacking device according to the invention, the baffle forms an angle of about 30 ° with said longitudinal direction.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif d'empilage selon l'invention, le système de convoyage comprend une poulie disposée à l'entrée du tasseur sur laquelle est engagée une courroie de convoyage qui est agencée pour cintrer la partie inférieure des envois. En particulier la poulie est une poulie à gorge.According to a particular embodiment of the stacking device according to the invention, the conveying system comprises a pulley disposed at the inlet of the packer on which is engaged a conveyor belt which is arranged to bend the lower part of the items. In particular the pulley is a grooved pulley.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif d'empilage selon l'invention, la poulie et ledit premier déflecteur sont disposés de telle manière à cintrer une partie supérieure des envois.According to a particular embodiment of the stacking device according to the invention, the pulley and said first deflector are arranged in such a way as to bend an upper part of the items.
L'invention s'étend à une machine de tri postal comprenant le dispositif d'empilage.The invention extends to a postal sorting machine comprising the stacking device.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit en relation avec les dessins.

Dans le domaine postal, on distingue les enveloppes selon la taille ou le format ISO-269 du courrier qu'elles sont destinées à contenir. Par exemple, pour une feuille au format A4, A5... correspond respectivement une enveloppe au format C4, C5... Une enveloppe au format C4 dont les dimensions sont 229 millimètres par 324 millimètres est donc destinée à contenir une feuille au format A4 dont les dimensions sont 210 millimètres par 297 millimètres. Une enveloppe au format C5 dont les dimensions sont 162 millimètres par 229 millimètres est destinée à contenir une feuille au format A5 dont les dimensions sont 148 millimètres par 210 millimètres.In the postal field, there are envelopes according to the size or ISO-269 format of the mail they are intended to contain. For example, for a sheet in A4 format, A5 ... respectively corresponds to a envelope C4, C5 format ... A C4 format envelope whose dimensions are 229 millimeters by 324 millimeters is therefore intended to contain a sheet in A4 format whose dimensions are 210 millimeters by 297 millimeters. A C5-size envelope measuring 162 millimeters by 229 millimeters is intended to contain an A5-size sheet whose dimensions are 148 millimeters by 210 millimeters.
Différentes expérimentations ont permis de mettre en évidence que les envois postaux au format C4 engendrent une proportion non acceptable de bourrage lors de leur insertion dans la pile d'envois. En particulier, un envoi courant au format C4 qui doit être inséré a tendance à s'écrouler sur lui-même en raison de ses dimensions. Un tel envoi courant percute généralement l'envoi précédent déjà inséré dans la pile et provoque un bourrage.Various experiments have made it possible to highlight that the C4 format postal items generate an unacceptable proportion of stuffing when they are inserted into the mail stack. In particular, a current C4-format mail to be inserted tends to collapse on itself due to its size. Such a current mail generally strikes the previous mail already inserted into the stack and causes a jam.
Sur les
Avantageusement, le dispositif d'empilage 40 comprend selon l'invention une plaque de guidage 50 ou rive de glissement disposée à l'arrière de la pile entre ledit système de convoyage 41 et le tasseur 42. La plaque de guidage 50 s'étend le long de la courroie d'empilage 27 en formant un coude. Cette forme coudée de la courroie d'empilage 27 définit une partie oblique 51 par rapport à la pile d'envois P indiquée par la flèche 31 qui se prolonge en une partie sensiblement parallèle 52 à la pile d'envois P. La partie oblique 51 s'étend entre la courroie principale 23 et le tasseur 22 pour déplacer les envois entre ces deux éléments.Advantageously, the
La plaque de guidage 50 est disposée dans la partie intérieure de la courroie d'empilage sans fin 27 pour que les envois soient déplacés devant la plaque de guidage 50. De plus, la plaque de guidage 50 s'étend au-dessus de la courroie d'empilage 27 pour soutenir le haut des envois lors de leur insertion dans la pile, en particulier les envois au format C4 qui ont tendance à s'écrouler en raison de leurs dimensions.The
La plaque de guidage 50 comprend dans sa partie oblique 51 un premier déflecteur 53 s'étendant au-delà de la plaque de guidage 50 vers la pile d'envois postaux. Le premier déflecteur 53 s'écarte de la plaque de guidage 50 dans le sens de convoyage 31, il forme donc un décroché dans la plaque de guidage qui s'étend de façon oblique selon une direction transversale par rapport à la plaque.The
Comme illustré très schématiquement sur la
Par exemple, la plaque de guidage a une hauteur d'environ 220 millimètres. Le premier déflecteur 53 est disposé à une hauteur d'environ 220 millimètres, à une distance d'environ 180 millimètres de la paroi de taquage 29 et constitue une languette sensiblement carrée de côté environ égale à 40 millimètres formant un angle d'environ 30 degrés par rapport à la plaque de guidage 50. Avantageusement, le premier déflecteur 53 disposé en haut de la plaque de dépilage 50 ne dévie que le haut des envois postaux au format C4 et plus alors que le pied des envois est guidé par la courroie d'empilage 27.For example, the guide plate has a height of about 220 millimeters. The
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif d'empilage selon l'invention comprend en outre un deuxième déflecteur 55 disposé en regard et légèrement en amont du premier déflecteur 53 selon le sens de convoyage indiqué par la flèche 31.In a particular embodiment, the stacking device according to the invention further comprises a
Le deuxième déflecteur 55 également de forme allongée est légèrement incurvé sur son extrémité la plus éloignée dans le sens de convoyage indiqué par la flèche 31 de sorte à suivre la forme de la plaque de guidage 50. Le deuxième déflecteur 55 est disposé à une hauteur d'environ 220 millimètres pour que l'envoi postal P2 soit guidé dans sa partie haute entre la plaque de guidage 50 et le déflecteur 55. En conséquence, le premier 53 et le deuxième déflecteur 55 définissent un trajet en chicane pour le bord supérieur d'un envoi postal même au format C4 qui est alors maintenu droit dans sa partie haute avant son insertion dans la pile d'envois.The
Le deuxième déflecteur 55 est disposé verticalement au-dessus d'une poulie à gorge 56 qui constitue la dernière poulie selon le sens de convoyage 31 sur laquelle la courroie d'insertion 26 est engagée.The
La poulie 56 est une poulie à gorge en forme d'os, c'est-à-dire qu'elle comprend un bossage 56a et 56b sensiblement sphérique à chacune de ses extrémités. La courroie d'insertion 26 s'engage entre les deux bossages 56a et 56b de la poulie 56.The
Comme expliqué précédemment, la poulie 56 étant disposée en regard de la courroie d'empilage 27, l'envoi postal P2 est pincé et déplacé entre la courroie d'empilage 27 et la courroie d'insertion 26. De plus, sur la
Avec cet agencement, l'envoi postal P2 est cintré dans sa partie inférieure ce qui a pour effet d'augmenter sa rigidité et de faciliter son insertion dans la pile d'envoi P. Par ailleurs, le déflecteur 53 s'étend hors de la plaque de guidage 50 au-delà de la courroie d'empilage 27 de sorte à provoquer un deuxième cintrage dans la partie supérieure de l'envoi postal P2, le deuxième cintrage étant incurvé dans un sens opposé au premier cintrage.With this arrangement, the postal item P2 is bent in its lower part which has the effect of increasing its rigidity and facilitate its insertion into the sending stack P. Moreover, the
Par conséquent, l'envoi postal P2 qui est libéré de la courroie d'insertion 26 est doublement cintré donc rendu suffisamment rigide pour ne pas s'affaisser sur lui-même et être déplacé uniquement par le convoyeur d'empilage 27 et par un effet balistique.Consequently, the postal item P2 that is released from the
Avec cet agencement selon l'invention, un envoi postal est inséré droit sur chant dans un cône d'entrée 54 formé derrière la pile d'envois postaux disposée dans le tasseur 42. Les risques de bourrage d'envois postaux sont ainsi évités.With this arrangement according to the invention, a postal item is inserted right on edge in an
