Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of sorting mail items in bins in postal sorting centers.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an installation for sorting mail items comprising sorting outlets aligned along a sorting conveyor each provided with a housing for a bin in which sorted mail items are stored and a conveyor. of bins which extends below said sorting outlets for transporting the bins filled with sorted mail items from the sorting outlets to a feed inlet of the sorting conveyor.
  • this arrangement makes it possible to manually transfer the bins by sorting operators who retrieve the bins at arm's length from the sorting outlets to place them on the bin conveyor in the appropriate orientation.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to remedy the aforementioned problems.
  • the invention relates to an installation for sorting mail items comprising sorting outlets aligned along a sorting conveyor each provided with a housing for a bin in which sorted mail items are stored, the sorting installation also comprising a bin conveyor which extends under said sorting outlets for transporting the bins filled with sorted mail items from the sorting outlets to a feed inlet of the sorting conveyor, characterized in that it comprises a shuttle robot manipulator of bins able to move along the bin conveyor in front of the sorting outlets and to extract a bin from a housing of a sorting outlet which has associated with it under the control of 'a control / command unit for transferring it to the bin conveyor, said shuttle robot comprising a slide mechanically connected with the bin conveyor designed to transfer the extracted bin from the housing onto the bin conveyor by the effect of gravity and in that the bin conveyor comprises a pivoting outer edge between a retracted position allowing transfer of the bin from the slide onto the bin conveyor and a raised position preventing the bins conveyed on the bin conveyor from being
  • the idea underlying the invention here consists in eliminate the operation of transferring bins by sorting operators from the sorting outlets to the bin conveyor and using a simple and non-motorized system for the injection of the bin on the conveyor.
  • the idea is also to prevent any overflow or ejection of the bins during their transport to the feed inlet while temporarily allowing the transfer of the bin from the slide to any point of the bin conveyor thanks to the pivoting edge.
  • sorting installation 1 which comprises sorting outlets 2 aligned along a sorting conveyor 3 each with a housing 4 for a bin 5 in which sorted mail items 6 are stored.
  • a feed inlet 7 designed to put mail items 6 in series on the sorting conveyor 3 according to the conveying direction F1 in order to then be sorted in the corresponding sorting outlets 2.
  • a bin conveyor 8 is also provided under the sorting outlets 2 to convey the bins 5 loaded with mail items 6 from the sorting outlets 2 to the feed inlet 7 in a conveying direction F2.
  • the shuttle robot 9 is mechanically connected to the bin conveyor by coupling to a guide rail 10 which extends in front of the bin conveyor 8 over its entire length, as can be seen on the figures. figures 1 and 2 .
  • the shuttle robot 9 comprises a frame 11, here in the form of an L with a plate 11a on wheels and a backrest 11b, on which is mounted a handling means 12 able to extract a bin from a housing of a sorting outlet and place it on the bin conveyor.
  • the handling means 12 comprises a motorized gripping head 13 which is telescopic and movable vertically to extract a container 5 from the housing 4 from a sorting outlet 2.
  • the handling means also comprises a slide 14 for a bin 5 which extends under the telescopic head 13 and the lower end 14a of which is used to make the coupling with the guide rail 10 in a sliding manner.
  • the slope of the slide 14 is therefore chosen so that the bins 5 slide by gravity on the bin conveyor 8.
  • the slide 14 may also include rollers 15 mounted free to rotate in order to facilitate the sliding of the bins 5 and to tolerate lower inclinations of the slide of the slide.
  • the telescopic gripping head 13 is also designed to deposit the bin 5 extracted from the housing 4 of the sorting outlet 2 on the slide 14 for its injection onto the bin conveyor 8.
  • the bin conveyor 8 also includes a pivoting outer edge 16 which extends along the bin conveyor on the side of the hitch of the shuttle robot 9, as seen in the pictures. figures 2 and 4a to 4c .
  • the edge 16 is here pivoting between a retracted position allowing a transfer of the container 5 from the slide 14 on the container conveyor 8, as shown in figure figure 4b , and a raised position, shown on the figure 2 , 4a and 4c , preventing other bins 5 conveyed on the bin conveyor 8 from being ejected from the conveyor during their transport to the feed inlet 7.
  • the lower end 14a of the slide 14 arrives here at the foot of the pivoting outer edge 16 so that when transferring a bin 5 to the bin conveyor 8, the bin 5 pushes the pivoting outer edge 16 into the retracted position under the effect of gravity.
  • the retracted pivoting outer edge 16 is located substantially flat on the bin conveyor 8 to allow the bin 5 to slide continuously from the container. slide 14 on the bin conveyor 8, without modifying, or only negligibly, the inclination of the bin when passing over the pivoting outer edge 16.
  • the return force of the spring is here less than the force exerted by a container during its transfer to the container conveyor.
  • the pivoting outer edge 16 can also be segmented into sections 18 pivoting independently of each other under each sorting outlet.
  • the shuttle robot 9 is controlled by the control / command unit 19 so as to come to stand both in front of a sorting outlet 2 and a section 18 of edge, as shown in figure figure 4a .
  • section 18 here makes it possible to authorize the pivoting of a section 18 of edge 16 in front of a sorting outlet which has associated with it, while keeping the other sections in the raised position to prevent the ejection of bins 5 along bin conveyors.
  • the bin conveyor 8 of the sorting plant 1 according to the invention may also comprise straight motorized conveyor rollers 20, as shown in the figures 4a to 4b which allows the bin conveyor 8 to be used in a bidirectional operating mode.
  • the bin conveyor 8 may have inclined motorized conveyor rollers 21, as shown in figure. figure 3 , which allows use of the conveyor 8 in a one-way operating mode.
  • a fixed edge 22 on the opposite side of the pivoting outer edge 16 makes it possible to hold the trays 5 during their journey towards the feed inlet 7.
  • shuttle robots 9 could be used on the same guide rail 10 in order to accelerate the rate of extraction and injection of the bins 5 on the bin conveyor 8.
