Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for unstacking flat objects comprising a flat-objects supply magazine in which the flat objects are arranged in stack on edge and moved in a certain direction to an unstacking plate arranged in the extension of said supply store to be ejected one by one in a direction perpendicular to said certain direction, the device further comprising a blower disposed to send an air jet on the flat objects.
- the invention more particularly relates to a device for unstacking small and large format postal items in a postal sorting machine.
- the blowing member contributes to fan the items at the front of the stack against the unstacking plate and limits the multiple catches situations of sending.
- Patent document FR 2 797 856 discloses a device for unstacking postal items intended to be mounted on a postal sorting machine.
- This device described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 1, is provided with a motorized magazine M of generally horizontal surface including in particular a belt conveyor 2 on which an operator disposes in stack on edge of mailpieces E to be serialized and a pallet 3 substantially vertical also motorized mounted movable along a rail 4 and for pushing the stack in a longitudinal direction indicated by the arrow D towards a destacking plate 6.
- the postal items of the stack are aligned and held laterally by a jogging edge 5 extending vertically in said longitudinal direction on an edge of the magazine M.
- the unstacking plate 6 extends vertically and each first mailing of the stack having its large face bearing against the plate of unstacking is ejected in a direction P perpendicular to the direction D to the unstacker outlet.
- the unstacking plate 6 has an opening in the plane of which is moved, in the direction P, a perforated strip 8 which cooperates with a suction nozzle (not shown) mounted behind the perforated strip.
- the stack of postal items E is moved by the belt conveyor 2 and the pallet 3 towards the unstacking plate 6 and the first mailing of the stack bears against the unstacking plate 6.
- This mailpiece is pinched between the motorized wheels 9, 10 vertical axes made of elastically deformable elastomer to be ejected at the outlet of the unstacking device located in the extension of the plate 6.
- Multi-tap means that a plurality of items, usually two, have been ejected simultaneously by the unstacker. These multiple catches lead to sorting errors detrimental to the sorting reliability or efficiency of the sorting machine because a detection of these shipments causes their rejection to a discharge sorting outlet followed by manual sorting.
- EP 0 562 954 discloses a solution to this multiple tap problem.
- This solution presented in FIG. 2 consists in sending an air jet 1 1 from above on the first postal items of the stack of postal items E, that is to say items close to the unstacking plate 6, by example between the first sending E1 and the second sending E2.
- This air jet 11 is sent by means of a member or blast ramp 12.
- the air jet 11 allows to spread slightly fan the first postal items of the stack with respect to each other so that when the first sending E1 is driven by the perforated tape 8, the second sending E2, dissociated from the sending E1, is not driven by the sending E1.
- the blowing ramp 12 is arranged at a height such that it overhangs all postal items accepted by the machine, including postal items having the largest format.
- the blow ramp is thus located well above the upper edge of the small format shipments, so that the efficiency of the air jet 1 1 is decreased to properly spread fan postal mail small format.
- multiple catches mainly affect small format postal items.
- the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawback set out above by proposing a device aimed primarily at limiting multiple catches for small format postal items, especially in a sorting machine capable of handling mailings of small and large format.
- the subject of the invention is a device for unstacking flat objects
- a device for unstacking flat objects comprising a flat-objects supply magazine in which the flat objects are arranged in stack on edge and moved in a certain direction to a plate of unstacking arranged in the extension of said supply store to be ejected one by one in a direction perpendicular to said certain direction, the device further comprising a blower arranged to send an air jet on the flat objects, characterized in that said blowing member is retractably mounted in the unstacking plate.
- the blowing member can then be arranged at a height appropriate to the size of the small format shipments without hindering the processing / unstacking of large format shipments.
- the blower member overhangs the small format shipments and retracts when a large format shipment is pressed against the unstacking plate.
- said blower member is mounted to be retracted into the unstacking plate by a translational movement along said certain direction.
- said blower member retracts in the unstacking plate against the action of an elastic return member and more particularly a spring.
- the blowing member is then retracted by the thrust force exerted on the blowing member by sending large current format to be unstacked.
- said blower member retracts in the unstacking plate under the action of a controlled mechanical element in response to the reception of a signal supplied by a sensor, this sensor being for example a reflection sensor optical disposed in the unstacking plate, a sensor by mechanical contact or an optical barrier sensor for detecting the presence of a large format mail at the top of the stack of items to be unstacked.
- the invention also extends to a postal mail processing machine comprising an unstacking device as defined above.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a feeder for a destacker of postal items known from the prior art.
- Figure 2 illustrates a blow ramp arranged according to the prior art.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of an unstacking device according to the invention with a retractable blow ramp.
- Figures 4 and 5 are sectional views of an unstacking device according to the invention when the blow ramp is respectively in the extended position and in the retracted position.
- FIG. 6 is a more detailed rear view of a blow ramp according to the invention.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a second embodiment of an unstacking device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows an unstacking device 1 for a postal sorting machine according to the invention.
- the elements common with the device of the prior art with reference to FIG. 1 retain the same numerical references.
- the unstacking device 1 comprises a motorized magazine M comprising a belt conveyor 2 and a substantially vertical pallet 3 for pushing, in the direction of an unstacking plate 6, unrepresented postal items arranged in stack on edge in front of the pallet in the longitudinal direction D.
- the motorized magazine M further comprises a motorized fall C disposed between the belt conveyor 2 and the unstacking plate 6.
- the bottom of the chute located at a distance of about 100 mm below the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and extending about 100 mm in the direction D, is equipped with a plurality of belt conveyors 30, for example four, taking over from the belt conveyor 2 to convey postal items in the direction D.
- the unstacking plate 6 has a fixed position and extends vertically from the bottom of the chute C to a height greater than that of flat mailpieces of larger size.
- the plate 6 is oriented in the unstacking direction P perpendicular to the direction D of displacement of mail items in the motor magazine M.
- the unstacking plate comprises in its lower part two openings.
- a perforated drive band 8 cooperating with a suction nozzle mounted behind moves within each of the openings. This strip 8 moves in the same plane as the surface of the unstacking plate in the direction P.
- a blow-off member or ramp 13 is retractably arranged in the unstacking plate 6 above the unstacked perforation strip 8.
- the blowing ramp 13 is in the extended position, that is to say in the active situation. In the extended position, the blowing ramp 13 protrudes beyond the surface of the unstacking plate 6 on the side of the magazine M.
- the blowing ramp is more particularly arranged so as to direct an air flow 14 (visible on 4) below it, more particularly slightly inclined relative to the vertical towards the store M.
- the blowing pressure of this air flow 14 is of the order of 1 bar.
- the lower edge of the blowing ramp 13, where the air flow 14 is released is arranged with respect to the bottom of the chute at a height h slightly greater than the height of a mailing considered small format PF. Consequently, when a small format transmission PF becomes the first shipment E1, as in FIG. 4, the discharge ramp 13 in the extended position does not hinder the plating of the face of this item E1 against the unstacking plate 6 and Aspiration and entrainment by the perforated tape 8.
- the air jet 14 then blows on top of the first shipment E1, is inserted between the first and the second shipment with the result of spreading slightly the first shipment E1 of the second sending E2 and avoid their simultaneous ejection or multiple socket.
- the blowing ramp 13 is retracted inside an opening in the unstacking plate 6 so as not to exceed from the surface of the unstacking plate 6.
- the blowing ramp 13 is more particularly a blowing ramp normally in the extended (protruding) position which returns (retracts) into the unstacking plate due to an action of thrust exerted by contact by a first large format shipment, which is pushed by the items succeeding it in the stack, the pallet 3 and the belt conveyors 20.
- FIG. 6 shows in more detail the retractable blower ramp 13 from behind.
- This blowing ramp 13 comprises a blast nozzle 15 fixed to a frame 16 and connected to an air distributor 17.
- the frame 16 is mounted to move in translation along guide rods 18 on a fixed support 19 disposed behind the plate 6.
- An elastic return member and more particularly a spring 20 disposed between the fixed support 19 and the frame 16 pushes the frame and the blowing nozzle towards the magazine M to an abutment position.
- the stiffness of the spring can be adjusted by means of a setting screw 21.
- the force exerted by the spring 20 is very low and must be able to be overcome by the force exerted by a large format sending coming to press against the blast nozzle 15 when plating against the unstacking plate 6.
- the movement of the blowing ramp 13, referred to above as a translation may also be a rotary movement for example relative to an axis extending in the unstacking plate.
- This device according to the invention furthermore comprises a sensor 22 'able to detect that a large format shipment GF approaches the unstacking plate and will thus enter soon in contact with the discharge ramp 13 'normally in the extended position.
- This sensor 22 'then sends a signal to a control system 23' of a drive device 24 'arranged to move the blower ramp 13' from an extended position to a retracted position in the blower plate 6 '.
- the sensor 22 ' is more particularly a reflex sensor for detecting whether the plating of a shipment against the unstacking plate 6' may be disturbed by the blowing ramp 13 'in the extended position.
- This sensor 22 ' is disposed in the unstacking plate 6' at the lower edge of the blowing ramp 13 'or just below it as in FIG. 7. It sends a light beam 26' horizontally in the direction of the postal items and captures a reflection of this light beam on a mailing if this shipment is in an area near the sensor and therefore the plate, ie for example less than 10 mm from the unstacking plate 6 '. Shipments are thus detected when approaching the unstacking plate having a height greater than h, and therefore large.
- the drive device 24 ' is more particularly a hydraulic piston performing a translational movement of the blow ramp as illustrated by the double arrow 27'. The retraction of the blowing ramp is then controlled and controlled.
- the blowing ramp can blow continuously or intermittently. Continuously, an air jet is permanently sent by the blow ramp, the latter is in the extended position or in the retracted position.
- the air jet can be cut off when the blower ramp retracted in the unstacking plate 6.
- the air jet can for example be cut with a solenoid valve system.
- the height h defines, according to the invention, a limit between the size of a large format shipment GF and a small format shipment PF and is more particularly chosen according to the size of the items most affected by the multiple sockets. This height h is about fifteen centimeters.
- blow ramp according to the invention it is obviously possible to install, in addition to the retractable blow ramp according to the invention, another blow ramp identical to that of the prior art EP 0 562 954 for blowing also on the top of the large format shipments .
- the blowing ramp according to the invention can still be locked in the retracted position when only large-sized postal items are de-stained.
- blower ramp is automatically retracted vertically upwards so as to blow on the top of the shipments large format.
