Abstract

The invention relates to input and output devices of letter-processing machines and allows to increase the reliability of the device when handling items such as packs of flat objects. The device includes a conveyor (K) 4 of movement of packs 1 of products, means for transporting empty pallets (R) 5 in the form of K 11, or an inclined tray installed below K 4, and means for picking and transferring P 5 into a device for transportation and temporary storage P 5 with products. The device is made in the form of a box (I) 3 with edges 6 and 7 perpendicular to its longitudinal axis axially symmetrically located inside it to support products on the edge with incomplete filling of I 3. The bearing surface K 4 is made with a longitudinal slit, the transverse size of which is larger width W 5. The width along the bottom I 3 between the ribs 6 and 7 corresponds to the transverse size of the slit K 4. When K 4 is loaded, bundle 1 of items P 5 is gripped by means of gripping, lifted, transferred to K 4 and lowered into the slit of the latter, and pack 1 products about It goes to K 4. In this case, the empty P 5 is retracted to K 11 or a tray to Z 3 and the means for gripping is transmitted to the latter. When unloading a pack of 1 items with K 4, an empty P 5 is supplied by moving K 1 1 or a tray under K 4.

Description

The invention relates to input and output devices of letter processing machines and can be used, in particular, when loading letters into face-stamping and sorting machines, as well as in a coding device,

The purpose of the invention is to increase the reliability of the device when overloading products such as packs of flat objects.

FIG. 1 shows a device for transferring products from a box to a conveyor, a plan view; FIG. 2 is a section A-A in FIG. 1 (with an empty pallet transport means made in the form of a belt conveyor); in fig. 3 - the same, with a means for transporting empty pallets made in the form of a swivel inclined tray; in fig. 4 - 6 -. a box with ribs and a pallet for transporting flat items; in fig. 7 - box with ribs and pallet and electromagnetic grip.

A device for reloading items such as packs 1 of flat objects consists of a means 2 for gripping and transporting, a box 3, a conveyor 4 for moving articles and a pallet 5. Box 3 is a device for transporting and temporarily storing pallets with products, provided inside with the sides are identical vertical symmetrically mounted ribs 6 and 7 adjacent to the sides 8 and 9 and the bottom 10. The bearing surface of the conveyor 4 has a longitudinal; slot of the cyrina B, while the distance L along the bottom between the symmetrical ribs 6 and 7, jacent to the lateral sides 8 and 9 of the box 3 corresponds to the size in the gap, and the width b of the pallet 5 is less than this distance. The means of transporting empty pallets 5, installed across the conveyor 4 and below its carrying surface, can be made in the form of a conveyor 11. Around the rotary inclined chute 12. In the pallet 5, transverse cuts 13 are made along the entire length. The ribs 6 and 7 of the box 3 have a pointed edge 14. For supplying boxes 3 to operator’s workplace 15, a conveyor 16 is used, which is activated by button 17 and stopped by button 18. In automating the loading of packs of 1 flat objects, means 2

for gripping and transferring it can be made, for example, in the form of an electromagnet 19, while the box should be made of a diamagnetic material, such as polystyrene, and the pallet should be made of a ferromagnetic material, such as steel (Fig. 5).

The device works in the following way ..

To load the conveyor 4, the operator using the button 17 turns on the conveyor 16, which feeds box 3 with the pallet 5 located at the bottom 10 and a pack of 1 flat objects standing with the lower edge on the pallet 5 to the workplace 15 (Fig. 1).

The ordering of the pack 1 of flat objects in the box 3 is ensured by the presence of vertical symmetrical ribs 6 and 7 adjacent to the sides 8 and 9 and the bottom 10. The distance between the ribs 6 and 7. and their profile are such that they do not allow the outermost. For flat items in a pack, take a horizontal position (Fig. 4).

When approaching box 3 to the workplace 15, the operator stops the conveyor 16 with button 18.

The operator inserts the fingers, which in this case are the means 2 for gripping and carrying, into the slots 13 of the pallet 5 and, keeping order of the pack 1 of flat objects, takes out the pallet 5 with the objects and transfers them to the conveyor 4 so that the pallet 5 is above the carrier surface of the conveyor. 4.

A pallet 5 can be removed with a paper 1 and can also be made automatically, for example by means of an electromagnet 19, a means 2 for picking and transferring pallets. At the moment of contact of the lower edges of flat objects with the bearing surface of the conveyor 4, the operator releases the pallet 5, which falls -, porting empty pallets, for example, conveyor 11 (Fig. 2) or inclined tray 12 (Fig. 3), and with their help facing the empty box 3. The operator takes the pallet 5 and lowers it to the bottom of box 3.

By turning on the conveyor 16, the operator ensures that the empty box with the pallet 5 is discharged and that the filled box 3 is fed without manual manipulation of the module.
