Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mail processing and more particularly relates to a storage device for mail processing machine.
  • said holding roller is mounted at the free end of a secondary arm extending forwardly of said pivoting arm.
  • Said secondary arm can be articulated about an axis of rotation integral with said pivoting lever to allow its operation irrespective of the direction of arrival of the mail items.
  • the angle ⁇ formed by a tangent to the two rollers and said receiving plate is less than the angle ⁇ formed by said inclined plane and said receiving plate.
  • said inclined plane is removable and can be mounted on one or the other of the lateral edges of said receiving plate.
  • said receiving plate comprises position sensors each defining, according to the determined position of a selector, a direction of arrival of said mail items.
  • Said position sensor detects an overlap of the mail items upon their arrival on said receiving tray and controls the stopping of said conveyor belt when said overlap is not detected.
  • the device according to the invention may also further comprise a flexible flap mounted at the entrance of the device over the entire width of said conveyor belt to reduce the speed of ejection of mail items.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a storage device 10 conventionally comprising a rectangular receiving tray 12 traversed by a conveyor belt 14 which extends along its entire length along a longitudinal referencing wall 16 as close as possible to it and of which an end lateral edge opposite an input side edge of the device is formed by an inclined plane 18.
  • the continuity between the longitudinal wall and the inclined plane is via a connecting flange 19.
  • this device further comprises a pivoting arm 20 movable both vertically about an articulation axis 22 fixed perpendicularly to the referencing wall and horizontally along a fixed displacement rail 24. on the reference wall and on which a friction roller 26 and a holding roll 28 are mounted.
  • the inclined plane 18 and the flange link can be removed and placed on the other side edge of the device, the pivoting arm then itself returned.
  • the plate 12 is for example advantageously provided, on each of its two lateral edges, grooves 12A intended to cooperate with one or more slides 18A of the inclined plane. Similar or other fastening means are of course provided at the level of the connecting flange 19.
  • the friction roller 26 is mounted free around a first axis of rotation 30 mounted at a free end of this arm and arranged perpendicular to the direction of travel of the mail items. By pressing the mail items against the conveyor belt, it increases the coefficient of friction between the mail items and this belt.
  • the width of the friction roller is at least equal to that of the conveyor belt whose width is of the order of 2/3 of the width of a standard European format envelope.
  • the holding roller 28 is freely mounted around a second axis of rotation 32 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the mailpieces and mounted at a free end of a secondary arm 34, advantageously articulated about the axis 30 and extending towards the front of the pivoting arm 20, that is towards the inclined plane.
  • a secondary arm 34 advantageously articulated about the axis 30 and extending towards the front of the pivoting arm 20, that is towards the inclined plane.
  • the pivoting arm 20 moves vertically according to the thickness of the mailpieces and horizontally as the thickness of the stack coming to rest on the plane increases.
  • This horizontal movement is comprised between two stops, a stop before 36 and a rear stop 38 (the notions front and back are understood in relation to the advance of the mail items in the device), which advantageously can be moved along the displacement rail 24, independently of one another in the manner of a slider.
  • the stop before 36 is moved back to allow better accumulation of mail items.
  • the stop 38 has the same function when the inclined plane 18 is changed side and fixed on the opposite side edge.
  • the angle ⁇ formed by the tangent to the two rollers and the receiving plate is smaller than the angle ⁇ formed by the inclined plane and the receiving plate so that the coefficient of friction between the conveyor belt and the the lower part of the pile is reduced.
  • the angle ⁇ is of course maintained by a stop not shown.
  • the conveying speed of the mail items in the device (proportional to the speed of rotation of the conveyor belt) being less than the ejection speed of the mail items of the franking machine, it is provided at the input of the device to above the conveyor belt and over its entire width a flap (or flap) flexible 40 to reduce the speed of mail items arriving in the device. Indeed, by coming knocking this gear reducing shutter, the mail items will be stopped and fall on the conveyor belt which they will then follow the movement.
  • the figure 3 shows another possible configuration for the device according to the invention wherein the mail items are ejected to the reference wall 16 and accumulated to the left against the inclined plane 18 (the flexible flap 40 is here removed).
  • optical sensors 42A to 42D intended, in the direction of introduction (or direction of arrival) of mail items, chosen by the operator, to detect their overlap and stop the rotation of the conveyor belt when no effective overlap of mail items is detected at the input of the device.
  • the activation of one or other of these sensors is provided by a selector (not shown) disposed at the rear of the device.
  • the operation of the device is as follows. At rest, the holding roller 28 is in contact with the inclined plane 18 and the friction roller 26 is in contact with the conveyor belt 14.
  • a first mail piece is ejected from the mail processing machine on the receiving tray 12, it is conveyed flat by the conveyor belt to the inclined plane where it takes place between this inclined plane and the holding roller.
  • the process then continues with the second piece of mail that will then take place between the first and the holding roll, causing the latter to retreat from the thickness of this mail piece, and so on with the others.
  • the proximity of the friction roller with this stack and the difference in angle formed with the tangent plane of the rollers and the inclined plane further allows a flexion of mail items, especially when they are thin.
