Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mail processing and more particularly relates to an automatic feeding module, or feeder, of a franking machine for mail items.
  • a franking machine must be adapted to receive different types of mail items such as documents, folds or envelopes having greater or lesser thicknesses, typically from 0.1 mm to 20 mm.
  • it often has upstream of an automatic feeding module such as that described in the patent EP 0 856 483 issued in the name of the applicant and allowing the delivery of these mail items in particular at different speeds and usually comprising means for the reception / stacking, selection, transport and possibly the closure of these mail items.
  • the selection is generally made by a single die whose pressure force exerted on the mail items determines the quality of selection. Indeed, for thin mail items, typically less than 6mm, this effort must be important to limit the number of double-pass while it may be low for mail items of greater thickness. However, the die being pressed against the mail piece by a compression spring to avoid these double passages that are highly detrimental because resulting in both a billing (weighing two items instead of one) of one the two items of mail, a postage of the article below and a non-closure of the article above, the mail of thick, and particularly those with windows, may be damaged or torn.
  • the quality of selection is also linked to the presentation of mail items at the level of the sector because the greater the number of mail items whose front edges (or front) are in contact with this sector is important minus the selection of only one of them is effective.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages resulting from the passage of duplicate mail items by proposing a franking machine feeder that allows a new presentation, more precisely bevel, mail items in front of the die so as to facilitate the subsequent selection.
  • a mail piece feeder having a receiving tray for receiving a stack of mail items, transport rollers for transporting mail items along a longitudinal referencing wall. and to a separation device for separating the mail items one by one from said stack of mailpieces and conveying them downstream, characterized in that it further comprises, vertically incorporated in said longitudinal wall of placing by reference, at least one friction roller having a variable roughness with a coefficient of friction decreasing from the top to the base of said longitudinal reference wall.
  • the double passages are systematically avoided and by putting in front of the die the first mail pieces of the stack in a bevel configuration, the work of selecting one by one of these items of mail is greatly facilitated. In addition, the selection quality of the thin envelopes is improved.
  • said at least one friction roller has a length at least equal to the height of an insertion slot of said selection device.
  • said variation of roughness is linear or by successive range of constant roughness.
  • the at least one friction roller may be replaced by a plurality of superimposed friction rollers each having a constant and different roughness.
  • Said at least one friction roll may consist of natural gum arabic or silicone having undergone several grinding phases to obtain said variable roughness or of a ceramic material whose grain size is variable to obtain said variable roughness.
  • said at least one friction roll comprises a vertical zone without roughness defining a smooth vertical band.
  • said receiving plate is inclined towards said longitudinal reference wall.
  • said at least one friction roller is free mounted slightly tight on its axis of rotation or is motorized by motorization means arranged in the axis of rotation of said at least one friction roller and in direct engagement with it or by common motor means connected to an axis of rotation of said at least one friction roller by a chain-type kinematics / chain or by means of motorization of said transport rollers through a suitable kinematics.
  • FIG. figure 1 An automatic mail supply module 10 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
  • a postage meter power module has a feed zone formed essentially of a receiving tray 12 for receiving a stack of mail items and having transport rollers 14 for driving these mail items to downstream (and along a longitudinal referencing wall 16) at a separation and transport area having a separating device 18 in which these mail items are extracted one by one from the stack.
  • articles before being conveyed downstream by other rollers transport (not shown) generally arranged at the exit of this separation zone.
  • the transport rollers are actuated by first motorization means 20 through an appropriate kinematics 22.
  • the separation device conventionally comprises a die articulated against resilient means and cooperating with a plurality of opposed selection rollers for selecting a mail item and a single one and transporting it downstream through these other transport rolls.
  • the die is generally inclined downstream and has a comb shape to ensure the best possible contact with the selected mailpiece.
  • this feeder further comprises at least one friction roller 24A, 24B, 24C, 24D incorporated vertically in the referencing wall 16 and whose rotation controlled by second drive means 26 is in the opposite direction of that of the transport rollers 14, that is to say opposite to the advancing direction of the mail items so as to increase the friction force on them.
  • the motorized friction roller is unique, it is advantageously arranged at the first line of the transport rollers (thus closer to the die of the selection device) and the motorization means are preferably arranged in the axis of rotation of this roll and therefore in direct contact with it.
  • these motorization means are preferably common and connected to the axes of rotation of each of these rollers by an appropriate kinematics, such as for example that of sprockets / chain 28 illustrated.
  • first motorization means 20 to also actuate the friction roll or rollers while implementing another adapted kinematics and additional speed reduction means between the kinematic chain 22 for controlling the transport rollers. 14 and that 28 for controlling the friction rollers 24, the speed of rotation of the friction rollers being indeed particularly low compared to that of the transport rollers.
  • the friction roll or rollers whose length (height) is at least equal to the height of the insertion slot of mailpieces (typically 20 mm) has a variable roughness with a coefficient of friction decreasing from the top to its base. so that, when the mail items are pressed against the referencing wall 16, this jogging resulting for example from a simple inclination of the receiving plate 12 to this reference wall (for example an angle of inclination of about 10 °) or jogging by a manual jogging device (not shown), the mail items of the bottom of the stack are less braked in their advance than those of the top forming the desired bevel configuration.
  • the roughness variation is preferably linear but it can also be achieved by successive range of constant roughness, for example by 2 mm range, the standard thickness of a mail article being indeed generally between 2 and 6 mm .
  • the friction roller may consist of natural gum arabic which has undergone several rectification phases to obtain a variable coefficient of friction linearly or by range or of a ceramic material such as titanium oxide whose grain size is linearly variable or by beach.
  • a silicone or an "Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer” (EPDM) can also be used.
  • FIG. Figure 2B An alternative embodiment of the friction roller is illustrated in FIG. Figure 2B .
  • the roller 30 has a zero roughness zone 30A which defines a smooth vertical band at which the coefficient of friction of the roll is zero and therefore on which no mail item can not hold on. It will be noted that such a zone may also result from an absence of granulosity in the case of a ceramic grain material.
  • the operation of the automatic feeding device according to the invention is as follows.
  • the mail items to be treated being arranged in bulk on the receiving plate 12 and pressed against the longitudinal referencing wall 16, the control of the transport rollers 14 will cause the stack of mailpieces to move towards the downstream, which stack will however be slowed in its movement by the friction rollers, free but braked in their rotation or motorized and rotating in the opposite direction, and on which rub the longitudinal edges of these mail items.
  • the transport rollers 14 will lead in priority downstream the mail item immediately above (the first mail item below the stack) which is not subject to the roughness of the friction rollers on these first two millimeters, then the second subjected it to a higher roughness, then the third subject to an even stronger and so on.
  • this smooth band 30A is provided which by creating a non-roughness area with each rotation of the roll will allow mail items to remain in contact with the transport rollers.
