Definitions

  • the invention relates to a postal sorting machine, for example for the preparation of the postman's tour, comprising a destacker in a feed inlet for mail items, a sorting conveyor designed to serially put on edge the mail items depilated from the feed inlet and sorting outlets each comprising a receptacle adapted to stack stacked mail items from said sorting conveyor.
  • the invention relates more particularly to packers of mail items that equip such sorting outlets.
  • the impeller type packers are frequently used in postal sorting machines to enable the stacks of mail items to be formed in the receptacles of the sorting outlets.
  • the impeller of a packer wheel is generally protruded through an opening in the bottom of the sorting outlet receptacle and allows the foot of a mail piece to be pushed against the stack of mail items being formed.
  • the wheel is rotated by a motorized belt transmission shaft disposed under the receptacle.
  • the rotational movement of the wheel is continuous to automatically fold the mail items as soon as they arrive in the sorting outlet.
  • propellers in matter plastic because they limit the deterioration of mail items being stacked in sorting outlets.
  • a propeller in poor condition creates jams at the sorting outlet and poor quality stacking.
  • the impeller is difficult to access since it must be removed beforehand at least the receptacle of the sorting outlet, the transmission shaft and its belt.
  • This maintenance therefore requires a complete stop of the sorting machine over a long period of time.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a postal sorting machine comprising a destacker in a feed inlet for mailpieces, a sorting conveyor designed to serially put on edge the unstacked mailpieces of the entrance.
  • supply and sorting outlets each comprising a receptacle adapted to stack the mail items from said sorting conveyor in stack on edge, each sorting outlet including a propeller wheel protruding through an opening in the bottom of the receptacle, said wheel being mounted on a transmission shaft disposed under the receptacle for rotating the propeller so that the propeller pushes the foot of a mailpiece into the receptacle against the stack of articles courier in formation, characterized in that the wheel is mounted on the transmission shaft by means of clipping in a translational movement transverse to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft.
  • the idea behind the invention is to no longer disassemble the receptacle or the transmission shaft to change the impeller.
  • the idea is also to allow the maintenance service to change the wheel in an ergonomic working position.
  • impeller wheel according to the invention is here mountable / removable in the sorting outlet through the opening of the receptacle where are stacked mail items.
  • the movement in transverse translation of the wheel relative to the axis of rotation of the shaft makes it possible, during dismounting, to extract it easily through the opening of the receptacle and during its assembly to insert it through the opening then clip it to the drive shaft.
  • the maintenance service will be able to change the wheels frequently without dismantling the sorting outlets, simply by positioning itself near the sorting outlets in order to reach at the end of the opening in the bottom of the receptacle.
  • the time saving here not only allows to change frequently the wheels to guarantee a good stacking in the sorting outlets but also to reduce the time of maintenance and stop of the machine.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a postal sorting machine 1 according to the invention for sorting stack mail items 2 according to the tour of the factor.
  • Mail items are letters, catalogs, magazines, or any other serializable postal item with sorting information.
  • the sorting machine 1 here comprises a feed inlet 3 of mailpieces 2, a sorting conveyor 4 and sorting outlets 5.
  • the feed inlet 3 is designed to receive a storage bin containing a stack of mail items intended to be sorted according to the postman's turn and comprises a destacker 6 capable of placing in series on edge in the sorting conveyor 4 mail items 2 of the bin.
  • the sorting conveyor 4 comprises conveyor belts, not shown, for moving the mail items serially on edge along a certain conveyance path to the appropriate sorting outlets.
  • a digital camera is installed on the conveyor path in the sorting conveyor to take digital images of the current mail items with the postal destination addresses.
  • a central unit is also provided in the sorting machine for retrieving these digital images, recognizing the postal destination addresses and allocating the corresponding sorting outlets to the mail items being conveyed.
  • a sorting outlet 5 as shown on the figure 2 , comprises a receptacle adapted to receive the sorting conveyor 4 mail items 2 singing one behind the other and in a certain longitudinal direction of sorting represented by the arrow D1.
  • the accumulation of mail items in the receptacle makes it possible to form a stack.
  • the receptacle is here in the form of a tray with three sides comprising an inclined support 7 on which the mail items are stored on edge, a bank 8 against which the stack of mail items is in front support and two walls 9 of lateral separation between the sorting outlets 5.
  • Each outlet 5 furthermore has a packer 10 comprising a wheel 11 with a propeller 12 which protrudes through an opening in the bottom of the receptacle dedicated for this purpose, here the support 7.
  • the wheel 11 is here mounted on a motorized transmission shaft 13 disposed under the support 7.
  • the rotation of the transmission shaft 13 is given by a set of belts 14 driven continuously by a motor.
  • the entire rotation system is disposed under the support 7 and only the propeller 12 of the wheel 11 protrudes through the opening in the bottom of the support 7, as shown in FIG. figure 2 and 3 .
  • the wheel 11 as for it comes flush in the bottom of the receptacle so as to block the opening as much as possible.
  • the propeller 12 preferably extends around the rim 15 of the wheel 11 from one edge to another so as to perform a complete revolution of the rim 15 of the wheel.
  • the rotation of the propeller 12 makes it possible to push the foot of a mailpiece 2 running in the receptacle along said longitudinal direction D1 against the pile of mailpieces in formation.
  • each wheel may comprise several propellers 12 substantially parallel to each other on the rim 15, here three segments as visible on the Figures 3, 4 and 6 .
  • a quick clipping means is also provided for fixing the wheel 11 to the transmission shaft.
  • the wheel comprises a deformable tongue 16 and the transmission shaft a stop 17 at the end by which the wheel is fixed.
  • the tongue being designed to deform on the stop and then be housed behind the stop to lock the wheel with the drive shaft, as visible on the Figures 6 and 7 .
  • Clipping is performed in a translational movement transverse to the axis of rotation A1 of the transmission shaft represented by the arrow D2 on the figure 6 .
  • the wheel 11 and the transmission shaft 13 comprise guide means for the movement in transverse translation of the wheel with respect to the axis of rotation of the shaft.
  • These guide means are formed here by a groove 18 which extends in the wheel transversely to the axis of rotation of the wheel A2 and a pin 19 which extends at one end of the transmission shaft transversely to its axis of rotation, as visible on the figure 4 .
  • the pin 19 is adapted to move in the groove 18 according to the transverse translation movement represented by the arrow D2.
  • stop 17 is placed on the post 19.
  • the rim 15 of the wheel 11 also comprises a hole 20, visible on the figures 5 , 6 and 7 accessible from the opening in the bottom of the receptacle to allow unclipping of the clipping means.
  • this hole 20 gives access to the tab 16 deformable by means of a thin tool, for example a screwdriver, to exert pressure on it and by leverage, to dislodge the abutment 17 of the post 19.
  • a thin tool for example a screwdriver
  • the hole 20 also serves as a visual cue for a maintenance service operator who wishes to place the wheel in a position suitable to dislodge the tongue 16 of the abutment 17.
  • an operator To change a worn wheel, an operator must therefore first turn the worn wheel to present the visible hole 20 through the opening in the support 7. The operator then engages a screwdriver in the hole until reaching the tab 16 and presses on it to dislodge the abutment 17. The operator then removes the wheel 11 through the opening in the support 7 by making a translational movement transverse to the axis of rotation A1 of the transmission shaft 13.
  • the operator To insert a new wheel 11, the operator must first insert the wheel 11 through the opening in the support 7 by making a translational movement relative to the axis of rotation A1 of the transmission shaft 13.
  • the operator performs an additional pressure force on the wheel 11 in transverse translation relative to the axis of rotation A1 of the transmission shaft 13 to accommodate the tongue 16 behind the stop for fixing the wheel 11 to the transmission shaft 13.
