Abstract

It is provided with running wheels 8 acting on a rail 2, these wheels supporting the chassis 4 of said carriage 1 so that the chain 3 is used for driving only, while the platform 5 of this carriage, on which platform at least one parcel 18 is deposited for sorting, is mounted pivotably with respect to said chassis in order that means 6-17 will tip it perpendicularly to the rail 2 at the selected discharging station.

Description

On connait par le document FB-84 11415 une machine du genre cn question, comportant une succession de chariots sur lesquels sont déposés des colis, une raclette située à l'avant du chariot permettant drévacuer le colis qu'il porte vers l'arrière à l'endroit choisi. Document FB-84 11415 discloses a machine of the kind referred to, comprising a succession of carriages on which packages are deposited, a squeegee located at the front of the cart allowing the package to be carried backwards to the chosen place.

Une telle machine est necessairement lente, car le temps d'évacuation du colis, qui est relativement important, limite la vitesse d'avancement du plateau sinon le plateau suivant, celui qui doit entre déchargé, entre en colision avec le colis en cours d'évacuation. Such a machine is necessarily slow, because the evacuation time of the package, which is relatively long, limits the speed of advancement of the tray otherwise the next tray, the one which must between unloaded, enters into collision with the package being evacuation.

Les perfectionnnements qui font l'objet de la pressente invention visent à remédier à cet inconvénient et à permettre la réalisation d'une machine de tri du genre en question qui puisse être rapide, le déchargement du colis ne pouvant en aucun cas freiner sa vitesse. The improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to remedy this drawback and to allow the production of a sorting machine of the kind in question which can be rapid, the unloading of the package being unable in any case to slow down its speed.

A cet effet, chaque chariot comporte des galets de roulement coopérant avec un rail, ces galets supportant le châssis dudit chariot de manière que la channe à laquclle les chariots sont lés n'ait qu'un rôle d'entrainement, tandis que la plateforme de chaque chariot sur laquelle est dépose au moins un colis à trier est montée pivotante par rapport audit châssis afin qu' l'endroit de déchargement choisi, des moyens provoquent son basculement dans une direction perpendiculaire au rail.
La plateforme de chaque chariot est retenue par rapport au châssis par un crochet pourvu d'une queue qui, lorsqu'elle rencontre une butée, libère la plateforme en déverrouillant le crochet.To this end, each carriage has rollers cooperating with a rail, these rollers supporting the chassis of said carriage so that the channe à laquclcl the carriages are only has a driving role, while the platform each trolley on which is deposited at least one parcel to be sorted is pivotally mounted relative to said chassis so that the chosen unloading location, means cause it to tilt in a direction perpendicular to the rail.
The platform of each carriage is retained relative to the chassis by a hook provided with a tail which, when it meets a stop, releases the platform by unlocking the hook.

Le dessin annexe, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de rpocurer
Fig. 1 est est une vue par dessus d'un chariot comportant application des perfectionnements suivant l'invention.The annexed drawing, given by way of example, will make it possible to better understand the invention, the characteristics it exhibits and the advantages which it is likely to provide.
Fig. 1 is a top view of a carriage comprising application of the improvements according to the invention.

Fig. 2 est une coupe transversale de la machine comportant des chariots suivant l'lavention, et illustrant la plateforme du chariot A sa position de transport d'un colis. Fig. 2 is a cross section of the machine comprising trolleys according to the invention, and illustrating the platform of the trolley In its position for transporting a package.

Fig. 3 est une vue semblable A celle de fig. 2, mais montrant la plateforme basculée pour permettre le déversement latéral du colis. Fig. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but showing the tilted platform to allow the lateral discharge of the package.

La machine à trier les colis établie conformément à l'invention comporte une multiplicite de chariots 1 dont l'un a été illustré sur les fig. 1 à 3 et qui se déplacent le long d'un rail 2 en étant entrafne par une channe 3 à laquelle chaque chariot est assujetti. The parcel sorting machine established in accordance with the invention comprises a multiplicity of carriages 1, one of which has been illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 and which move along a rail 2 while being entrainé by a channe 3 to which each carriage is subject.

Chaque chariot 1 comprend un châssis 4 en forme de C oblique dont la branche supérieure est établie sous la forme d'une platine 41 orientée horizontalement. La jambe oblique du châssis est pourvue d'une chape 42 retenant un axe autour duquel pivote une plateforme 5 en forme d'équerre.  Each carriage 1 comprises a frame 4 in the form of an oblique C, the upper branch of which is established in the form of a plate 41 oriented horizontally. The oblique leg of the chassis is provided with a yoke 42 retaining an axis around which pivots a platform 5 in the form of a square.

La face de la plateforme située le plus près du châssis 4 comprend une gâche 51 coopérant avec l'extrémité recourbée d'un crochet 6, articule autour de l'axe horizontal d'un étrier 7 monté sur la platine 41. Le crochet 6 comporte une queue 61 dont l'extrémité porte un galet 62 pour des raisons qu'on expliquera mieux plus loin.The face of the platform located closest to the chassis 4 comprises a keeper 51 cooperating with the curved end of a hook 6, articulates around the horizontal axis of a stirrup 7 mounted on the plate 41. The hook 6 comprises a tail 61, the end of which carries a roller 62 for reasons which will be better explained below.

La platine 41 comprend deux découpes 41a, 41b situes de part et d'autre de l'étrier 7 en supposant que la channe 3 fasse circuler chaque chariot 1 dans le sens de la flèche F de fig. 1. On dispose dans la découpe 41b un galet de roulement 8, tournant à l'intérieur d'une chape 9 à axe horizontal. Cette chape-se prolonge par une patte 9a comportant une fente horizontale dans laquelle s'engage la platine 41 pour recevoir un axe d'articulation vertical 10 autour duquel la chape peut tourner par rapport à cette platine. Un galet semblable est dispose à l'carrière de la platine 41 par rapport au sens de la marche.Lorsque le chariot aborde une courbe du rail 5 des roulettesll montes à rotation libre autour d'axes verticaux 12 solidaires des angles extérieurs de la platine 41, assurent le guidage du chariot par rapport à la face extérieure du rail 2 établi sous la forme d'un tube carre ou rectangulaire, tandis que d'autres roulettes 13, solidaires d'un axe 14 porte par la branche inférieure du châssis 4, viennent appuyer sur la face verticale d'un chemin de roulement 15 placé sous le rail. Ainsi, lorsque le chariot aborde une courbe du rail 2, il est guidé par rapport à celui-ci et par rapport au chemin de roulement 15, tandis que les chapes 9-9a s'orientent de manière que les galets 8 restent sur le dessus du rail 2. The plate 41 comprises two cutouts 41a, 41b located on either side of the stirrup 7 assuming that the channe 3 circulates each carriage 1 in the direction of the arrow F in FIG. 1. There is in the cutout 41b a roller 8, rotating inside a yoke 9 with a horizontal axis. This yoke is extended by a tab 9a having a horizontal slot in which the plate 41 engages to receive a vertical hinge pin 10 around which the yoke can rotate relative to this plate. A similar roller is placed at the quarry of the plate 41 with respect to the direction of travel. When the carriage approaches a curve of the rail 5 of the castersll mounted free rotation around vertical axes 12 integral with the external angles of the plate 41 , guide the carriage relative to the external face of the rail 2 established in the form of a square or rectangular tube, while other rollers 13, integral with an axis 14 carried by the lower branch of the chassis 4, come to bear on the vertical face of a raceway 15 placed under the rail. Thus, when the carriage approaches a curve of the rail 2, it is guided relative thereto and relative to the raceway 15, while the yokes 9-9a are oriented so that the rollers 8 remain on top of rail 2.

Afin d'assurer un meilleur guidage du chariot, on peut prévoir un second chemin de roulement 16 parallèle au rail 2 et contre lequel le galet 11 roule également en meme temps que contre le rail 2. Ce chemin de roulement comporte des butées 17 places de loin en loin aux postes de déchargement successifs des colis. Au droit de chacun desdits postes, la queue 61 du cliquet 6 est soulevée par une rampe 171 de la butine 17 afin de dégager son crochet de la gâche 51 et de permettre le basculement de la plateforme, tel qu'illustre en fig. 3. Ainsi, le colis 18 place préalablement sur cette plateforme est déchargé latéralement. Bien entendu, même si le second chemin de roulement 16 n'existe pas, il faut prévoir des supports appropriés pour les butées 17. In order to ensure better guidance of the carriage, a second raceway 16 can be provided parallel to the rail 2 and against which the roller 11 also rolls at the same time as against the rail 2. This raceway has stops 17 places of far and away at successive parcel unloading stations. To the right of each of said stations, the tail 61 of the pawl 6 is raised by a ramp 171 of the booty 17 in order to release its hook from the keeper 51 and allow the platform to tilt, as illustrated in FIG. 3. Thus, the parcel 18 placed beforehand on this platform is unloaded laterally. Of course, even if the second raceway 16 does not exist, it is necessary to provide suitable supports for the stops 17.

Bien entendu, chaque butine 171 est effacée au moyen d'un vérin 172 des que le chariot 1 contenant le colis 18 à déchargeur au poste considéré a quitte ce poste de dechargement, afin que les crochets des chariots suivants ne soient pas affectés par la butine 171 considérée, mais par celle qui est dresse en temps opportun au poste de déchargement choisi. Of course, each booty 171 is erased by means of a jack 172 as soon as the carriage 1 containing the parcel 18 to be unloaded at the post concerned has left this unloading station, so that the hooks of the following carriages are not affected by the booty 171 considered, but by that which is drawn up in good time at the chosen unloading station.

On observe que le châssis 4 du chariot 1 comporte encore un support 43 pourvu d'une coupelle élastique 43a sur laquelle la plateforme vient buter en fin de course. La plateforme est ensuite remise en place par une came appropriée non représentée.  It is observed that the chassis 4 of the carriage 1 also includes a support 43 provided with an elastic cup 43a on which the platform abuts at the end of the race. The platform is then replaced by an appropriate cam, not shown.

Il doit d'ailleurs âtre entendu que la description qui précède n'a ete donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution decrits par tous autres équivalents.  It should moreover be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
