Description
DISPOSITIF DE TRI DE COLIS MOYENS "TYPE COLIS POSTAUX"
En l'état actuel de la technique, lton peut dire que les systèmes , dispositifs et procédés existants peuvent se grouper en deux catégories: celle constituée d'un tapis trporteur avec des éjecteurs indépendants et celle constitu= d'un appareil unique, soit du genre convoysur à chaine ave plateau basculant, soit transporteur à chaine avec taquet mobile face au poste. Dans la première catégorie, les éjecteurs présentent l'inconvénient du retour au point d'orig1 ce qui diminue la cadence. D'autre part cette solution ave les éjecteurs ne permet qu'un poste d'un côté du tapis et entraine donc des installations de grandes longueurs.MEDIUM PARCEL SORTING DEVICE "POSTAL PACKAGE TYPE"
In the current state of the art, it can be said that the existing systems, devices and processes can be grouped into two categories: that consisting of a conveyor belt with independent ejectors and that consisting of a single device, ie kind of chain conveyor with tilting platform, or chain conveyor with movable cleat facing the station. In the first category, the ejectors have the disadvantage of returning to the point of orig1 which decreases the rate. On the other hand, this solution with the ejectors only allows one station on one side of the belt and therefore leads to installations of great lengths.
En ce qui est de la catégorie B, c'est à dire des installa- tions constituées d'un appareil unique, la réalisation mé. With regard to category B, that is to say installations made up of a single device, the realization mé.
nique présente deux inconvénients: le coût très onéreux eu égard à la complexité de l'ensemble et d'autre part, l'arc général de la machine entraîné par toute panne si minime selle.There are two drawbacks to the pic: the very expensive cost in view of the complexity of the assembly and, on the other hand, the general arc of the machine caused by any breakdown if minimal saddle.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients; il est constitué d'un tapis oe tri duquel objets sont éjectés par des "éjecteurs-rideaux" se déplaça perpendiculairement au tapis de tri (éjecteurs modulaires
Ces éjecteurs qui possèdent deux rideaux, un de chaque cce- du tapis, n'ont pas besoin de revenir en arrière puisqu'urideau d'éjection est remplacé par l'autre rideau, permets une cadence importante.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks; it consists of a sorting mat from which objects are ejected by "curtain ejectors" moved perpendicular to the sorting mat (modular ejectors
These ejectors which have two curtains, one on each side of the belt, do not need to go back since the ejection curtain is replaced by the other curtain, allows a significant rate.
Les colis longs ne présentent pas de problèmes car ils 50-, pivotés au moment du contact avec le rideau.Long packages do not present any problems because they 50-, rotated at the time of contact with the curtain.
Descriptif du dispositif: celui-ci se compose notamment se 1/ un collecteur de colis à trier composé d'un rouleau com dé par bande à poussée réduite par exemple, 2/ un tapis-frein avec cellule d'arrêt du tapis (repère 2.Description of the device: this consists in particular of 1 / a parcel collector to be sorted composed of a roller comed by strip with reduced thrust for example, 2 / a brake mat with cell for stopping the mat (item 2 .
3/ un tapis-séparateur recentreur, 4/ un tapis-lecteur de code, 5/ un lecteur de code avec cellule (6) d'arrêt en extrémité 6/ un tapis-cadenceur (7) avec une cellule (8) en extrémité 7/ un tapis de tri (10) avec une roue codeuse (9), 8/ un nombre variable d'éjecteurs à rideau avec cellule ze
démarrage (12),
Les repères 1 à 6 sont connus et cités uniquement pour mémoire. Le tapis (7) est constitué d'une bande plastique à fort coefficient d'adhérence. Le tapis (10) est constituÉ d'une bande plastique à faible coefficient d'adhérence.3 / a refocusing separator, 4 / a code reader, 5 / a code reader with stop cell (6) at the end 6 / a timing belt (7) with a cell (8) at the end 7 / a sorting belt (10) with a coding wheel (9), 8 / a variable number of curtain ejectors with ze cell
start (12),
References 1 to 6 are known and cited only for the record. The mat (7) consists of a plastic strip with a high coefficient of adhesion. The mat (10) consists of a plastic strip with a low coefficient of adhesion.
La roue codeuse (repère 9) roulant sur ce tapis permet d'obtenir une impulsion par exemple tous les 125 mm. Ces impulsion sont utilisées pour déterminer des zônes fictives de bande d'une longueur de 125 mm. Les colis à trier sont lâchés par le tapis cadenceur (7) au passage de l'une de ce tranches de bande de 125 mm. L'espace entre deux colis à trier est de deux pas minimum soit 250 mm.The coding wheel (item 9) rolling on this belt makes it possible to obtain a pulse for example every 125 mm. These pulses are used to determine fictitious strip areas of a length of 125 mm. The parcels to be sorted are dropped by the timing belt (7) when one of these 125 mm strips is passed. The space between two parcels to be sorted is two steps minimum, i.e. 250 mm.
Un automate programmable auquel on a indiqué le numéro de sortie auquel le colis doit être éjecté décompte le nombre de pas de 125 mm, nécessaire pour amener ces colis à la hauteur de la sortie demandée.A programmable controller to which the exit number to which the package must be ejected has been indicated counts the number of steps of 125 mm, necessary to bring these packages to the height of the requested exit.
L'indication de sortie peut être donnée: par un opérateur manuel, par lecture directe d'un code-barre, par lecture d'un code-barre analysé par un mini-ordinateur indiquant ur numéro de sortie variable tous les jours en fonction des expéditions à effectuer.The exit indication can be given: by a manual operator, by direct reading of a bar code, by reading a bar code analyzed by a mini-computer indicating ur exit number which is variable every day according to the shipments to be made.
Lorsque le nombre de pas est atteint, l'automate donne l'autorisation de démarrage du rideau (11) dans le sens correspondant à la sortie. Une cellule photo-électrique (1 placée en amont du rideau détecte l'arrivée du colis et donne l'ordre de démarrage du rideau. Ce rideau se déplace perpendiculairement au tapis. Le colis est placé par le tapis de tri (10) contre le rideau (11). La force de placac due au coefficient de frottement du colis sur le tapis est suffisante pour que le rideau entrain le colis dans son mouvement et l'achemine vers le container (14) placé en latéral. Une cellule photo-électrique (13) placée sur le rideau arrête le fonctionnement de celui-ci lorsqu'il a effectué un demi-tour.When the number of steps is reached, the PLC gives the authorization to start the curtain (11) in the direction corresponding to the output. A photocell (1 placed upstream of the curtain detects the arrival of the package and gives the order to start the curtain. This curtain moves perpendicular to the belt. The package is placed by the sorting belt (10) against the curtain (11). The force of placac due to the coefficient of friction of the parcel on the carpet is sufficient for the curtain to entrain the parcel in its movement and forwards it towards the container (14) placed on the side. (13) placed on the curtain stops its operation when it has made a U-turn.
Composition du rideau (11): l'ensemble du rideau se compose de deux sections placées en attente, à droite et à gauche z tapis de tri. Les rideaux proprement dits peuvent hêtre constitués par: une bande à tasseaux (11.1) à carcasse à à fort rigidité transversale, un tube-acier (11.2) fixé sur la bande (11.1) à travers les tasseaux, un tube en élastomb (11.3) à forte adhérence placé en extrémité du tube (11.2).Composition of the curtain (11): the entire curtain is made up of two waiting sections, right and left z sorting mat. The curtains themselves may be made up of: a strip with cleats (11.1) with a carcass of high transverse rigidity, a steel tube (11.2) fixed to the strip (11.1) through the cleats, an elastomb tube (11.3) with strong adhesion placed at the end of the tube (11.2).
L'ensemble du rideau est placé sur une poulie de commande (11.7) et une poulie de tension (11.6) maintenu en positior par des plats de glissement en matière plastique (11.8). The entire curtain is placed on a control pulley (11.7) and a tension pulley (11.6) held in position by plastic sliding plates (11.8).
Une carcasse acier (11.4) soutient ces deux poulies ainsi c le motoréducteur-frein (11.5). Des trous (11.9) percés dan la partie libre de la bande permettent d'arreter celle-ci en position grâce à la cellule (13) et au réflecteur (13.A steel carcass (11.4) supports these two pulleys as well c the gear motor-brake (11.5). Holes (11.9) drilled in the free part of the strip make it possible to stop the latter in position thanks to the cell (13) and the reflector (13.
La figure (4) montre des colis en cours de tri. Figure (4) shows packages being sorted.
