Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for emptying containers, in particular for use in post sorting systems in which addressed mail, preferably letters or the like, is addressed on one side. , is delivered in standard boxes.
- the invention also relates to the associated device for carrying out the method with at least one container for the plate-shaped container goods, preferably for letters or the like.
- the aim is to automate the sorting, sorting and distribution of the mail, in particular letters or the like, as far as possible.
- a device that can be used to sort the mail and store it in different containers is known, for example, from DE 35 30 624 AI.
- the containers are standardized mail boxes for further treatment, in particular separation, of the mail.
- a device for this purpose is to be created.
- the invention realizes a tool that is used simultaneously as a removal and transfer head.
- This removal and transfer head removes the plate-shaped container goods from the container as a stack and transfers them in the correct position and depending on the position of a movable stop to the subsequent separating unit.
- the removal head and transfer head are swiveled into the required working position by means of two NC-controlled axes of a handling system and can be moved linearly.
- the invention is advantageously used in mail sorting systems. However, it is also used for sorting, stacking, removing and transferring plate-shaped ones
- Figure 1 and Figure 2 side views of a system for transferring mail from a box to a separating unit in two different cycles
- Figure 3 is an associated front view
- Figure 4 is a plan view of the overall system.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show different cycles, each with separate work phases.
- FIG. 1 shows with phases a) to c) the cycle of removing mail, transport and transfer to a separating unit.
- Figure 2 shows with phases d) to f) the cycle of moving back a removal head after the transfer of
- Standard boxes are used as containers in the context of mail sorting systems.
- individual mail boxes 1, 1 ', 1 "as containers for plate-shaped mail items 4 are successively brought to a transfer point by a feed unit 55, for example a roller conveyor, which is not shown in detail.
- a feed unit 55 for example a roller conveyor
- In such boxes 1, 1', 1" in particular letters are placed Different formats delivered as postal items, with the franking already changing due to the previous sorting arranged on the top of the postal item 4.
- bevels 2 and 3 attached to the base of the box 1 in two directions, the mail item can be exactly aligned with respect to two of the longitudinal edges. Of the slopes 2 and 3, only the slope 2 is visible in the illustration according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the first box 1 of the boxes 1, 1 ', 1 "delivered in full is in the receiving position: To orderly remove the mail item 4, the boxes 1, 1', 1" 'must be pivoted. According to FIG Box 1 is placed at a pivot point and swiveled through an angle between 90 ° and 180 ° to the horizontal, for example 135 °. The base surface of box 1 is raised in the process. A movable removal and transfer head 5 is present, which in the receiving position in engages the box 1 and fixes the mail item 4 as a stack
- a counter holder 6 is attached to the removal and transfer head, which has sensors (not shown in detail) for detecting the fill level of the individual box 1 and associated drive means 7.
- the counter holder 6 in be positioned in a suitable position on the stack 4 of the mail item 8.
- a surface 8 forms a support which is offset by approximately 90 °.
- the fulcrum for the removal and transfer head 5 is positioned approximately at the level of the upper edge of a subsequent feed belt 10 for the transport of the stack 4.
- the mail is brought into a suitable spatial position.
- box 1 be withdrawn manually or automatically.
- the stacked mail item 4 is then a stack in the removal and transfer head 5 and can be fed therein to a stop 20 on a path 10.
- the stop 20 is designed to be movable and forms a separation paddle known in postal sorting systems.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the mail emptying / transfer device in the two different operating cycles with the significant working phases a) to c) or d) to g), which results in a closed workflow.
- FIG. 1 shows the cycle of removing the stack from the box and moving the removal and transfer head 5 to the separating paddle 20.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the spatial structure of the device comprising the removal and transfer head 5 with the associated spatial orientation of the axis of rotation 100 and the linear axis
- FIG. 4 shows the integration of the device according to FIG. 3 into the operating sequence of an existing system.
- the boxes 1, 1 ', 1 are fed laterally by an operator at a right angle with a feed unit 55, such as a roller conveyor or the like.
- a barrier 51 is provided around the frame 50.
- the removal and transfer head 5 is positioned by means of the two NC axes 100 and 200 via a box 1 and brought into position.
- the removal and transfer head 5 engages with the counter-holder 6 in the box 1.
- the counter-holder 6 is inserted depending on the stack height in the box 1 for fixing the postal item 4.
- the box 1 is lifted with the removal and transfer head 5 and pivoted about one of the preferred axes of the box 1 in the removal opposition.
- Box 1 is removed.
- the stack of mail 4 lies in the removal and transfer head 5 and is pivoted into the most favorable transport position.
- Lateral baffles 11, 12 take over the fixing of the stack of postal items 4.
- the stack of postal items 4 is brought into the transfer position and thereby pivoted into the vertical transfer position.
- the respective position of the paddle 20 of the separating unit is detected by the removal and transfer head 5.
- the stack of mail 4 can be moved in synchronism with the speed of the paddle 20 in accordance with the separating speed.
- the transfer to the separation unit can be done by manually moving the paddle 20 and then pulling back the transfer and removal head 5.
- the stack of postal items 4 can be transferred by automatically moving the paddle and then withdrawing the removal head.
- the method and the associated device have been described specifically for use in sorting and separating systems for mail.
- the method and the associated device can also be used for the transport of other plate-shaped objects of different sizes, provided the objects are stackable.
