Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transfer device for postal items having a transfer unit, which has an output for transferring the separated postal items to a mail carrier and a transport device for transporting the mailpieces in a transport direction for delivery, the two belts for holding and transporting the mailpieces on both sides and a means for Adjusting the distance of the bands to each other to the thickness of a mail item comprises.

  • DE 10 2005 059 601 B3 discloses a sorting system in which the mail items are transported vertically on their longitudinal edges, standing in a transport direction, to a pocket rim passing transversely to the transport direction. The mail items are injected one after the other into the horizontally passing bags, wherein a very small time window for injecting a mail item into a passing pocket remains due to the high number of cycles and the high density of the conveyed mail stream.
  • the consignment stream is transported in a loading arm to the pocket wreath, whose output, at which the mailpieces are transferred from the loading arm to the individual pockets, can be moved horizontally with the moved pockets. If a piece of mail has been shot into a pocket, the loading arm is moved back and the output is aligned to a following pocket.

  • the deflection roller can be pivotable together with the deflected band about the axis of rotation of the band rocker arranged outside the deflection roller.
  • the output may be a location on the transfer unit at which the mail items leave the transfer unit, for example by a launch or to a guided transfer to the adjacent mail carrier.
  • the belts are preferably motor-driven endless belts.
  • the transfer unit can have an additional base strip on which the mailpieces stand during transport through the two strips on their longitudinal edges.
  • the mailpieces can be mail of all kinds.
  • the consignment carrier can be designed as a pocket wreath with encircling pockets.
  • the transfer unit expediently comprises a carry-along drive which is controlled by a process means.

  • the counterweight may be counterweight to the output side mass of the band rocker and be mounted with respect to the axis of rotation relative to the output.
  • a rigid arm is connected to the output, so that dynamic movements are kept low.
  • the belt rocker is expediently arranged with its axis of rotation so that an acceleration-related movement of the belt rocker is compensated in an acceleration direction of the output transversely to the transport direction in whole or in part.
  • the transfer unit which can be designed as a loading arm, can be moved without a disadvantage transversely to the transport direction, whereby a high degree of freedom of movement relative to the mail carrier can be achieved.
  • a particularly good compensation of acceleration-related movements of the band rocker can be achieved if the center of gravity of the band rocker lies in the axis of rotation.
  • the transfer device expediently comprises a release means for opening the belt rocker so that a mail item is released between the belts at the delivery.
  • the mail piece can be transported on by the mail carrier without the transfer unit being pulled along.
  • the bands are expediently spaced at least 10 cm apart with the band hinge open at the output.
  • the release means advantageously has a gearbox for opening the band rocker, to such an extent that a mail item is completely released in an area from the output to at least 30 cm counter to the transport direction in an acceleration direction of the output becomes.
  • the acceleration direction is expediently the transport direction of the mail carrier.
  • the transfer unit or its output can be accelerated, for example, in order to position the output on a subsequent pocket of the mail carrier without a mail item jammed in the mail carrier abutting the band rocker.
  • the opening is so far that the mail item can be moved in the direction of acceleration at least 50 cm far without contact with the belt rocker.
  • the release means advantageously comprises a motor drive for opening the band rocker. It can be a large force introduced at a high speed and the belt swing can be particularly fast and wide open become .

  • the band rocker comprises a spring element for pressing the bands against each other, for example, to support a belt-related pressure. If the band link is opened by a safety function, then this opening movement is opposite in direction to the spring pressure, so that the pressing, if necessary, takes place against the spring force and is thereby made more difficult.
  • the spring on the transfer unit expediently engages in such a way that an opening movement of the release means causes a relaxation of the spring. An opening of the belt rocker to the safety function can be supported thereby.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transfert (2) pour des envois postaux (8), ce dispositif étant équipé d'une unité de transfert (4) qui présente une sortie (24) pour transférer les envois postaux (8) isolés vers un support d'envois (18) et un système de transport (10) pour transporter les envois postaux (8) dans une direction de transport (16) jusqu'à la sortie (24). Ledit système de transport (10) comprend deux courroies (12, 14) destinées à maintenir les envois postaux (8) des deux côtés et à les transporter, ainsi qu'un moyen pour ajuster la distance entre les courroies (12, 14) en fonction de l'épaisseur d'un envoi postal (8). L'invention vise à garantir un transport sans glissement des envois postaux (8), y compris en cas d'accélération de l'unité de transfert (4). À cet effet, le moyen d'ajustage se présente sous la forme d'un balancier de courroie (32) pouvant pivoter autour d'un axe de rotation, le pivotement de ce balancier faisant pivoter l'une des courroies (12, 14) et faisant ainsi varier la distance entre cette courroie et l'autre courroie (12, 14).
