Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of the handling of flexible bags intended to transport objects such as parcels.
- the invention relates to a device for the mechanical manipulation of a flexible bag placed in a support.
- the invention relates more particularly to a logistics installation for sorting parcels comprising such a device,
- Parcel sorting logistics facilities generally use flexible bags for the transport of parcels
- the bags are installed in supports, such as trolleys, with the mouth open upwards so as to allow the parcels to fall into the bags by gravity.
- Each bag also includes flaps capable of being folded over the side walls of the trolley in order to stabilize the bag in the trolley and to keep the mouth of the bag open during the loading of the parcels.
- the flaps of the bag are folded towards the inside of the trolley in order to facilitate the closing of the bag by zipper.
- the support is then brought to a routing point to allow the evacuation of the bag loaded in packages and the establishment of a new empty flexible bag in the trolley.
- the operation of closing and opening the bag, and more particularly the folding of the flaps of the bag, is today carried out manually by an operator.
- the invention therefore aims to remedy the aforementioned problems and relates in this respect to a device for mechanical manipulation of a flexible bag comprising a support in which the bag is placed, the bag having a mouth with at least one flap able to close or open the mouth of the bag, characterized in that it comprises a brush wheel mounted in rotation around an axis, the brush wheel comprising fins each formed of an arcuate and flexible portion which extends from the axis and of a rectilinear and terminal portion which extends the arcuate portion, the set of rectilinear portions substantially forming a rim, and in that the brush wheel is arranged in such a way that when it is driven in rotation close to the mouth of the bag, the centrifugal force straightens the arcuate portions to increase the radius of the rim so as to allow the straight portions to rub against the flap of the bag.
- the basic idea of the invention is to use the friction of the adherent contact surface of the brush wheel to fold the flap towards the inside or the outside of the support. More particularly, the idea consists in allowing or preventing the friction of the brush wheel on the flap of the bag by varying the radius of its rim.
- the rotational drive of the brush wheel coordinated with the movement of the back and forth support under the wheel makes it possible to specifically fold the flaps of the bag for opening or closing the bag.
- the device according to the invention may also have the following particularities:
- the arched portions are made of polyurethane with a hardness coefficient between 30sh and 50sh;
- the invention also extends to a logistics installation for sorting parcels comprising a device according to the invention designed to handle flexible bags for transporting parcels placed in supports of the mobile sorting trolley type and moved automatically by shuttle robots,
- Each shuttle robot can be designed to move a bag transversely to the axis so that the brush wheel comes to rub a flap of the bag to fold it towards the outside of the support and help to open the bag.
- Each shuttle robot can also be designed to move a bag and its support longitudinally relative to the axis so that the brush wheel comes to rub a flap of the bag to fold it towards the inside of the support and help to close the bag.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a logistics installation for sorting parcels according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a device for mechanical manipulation of a flexible bag according to the invention in a kinetics of assistance in opening a flexible bag;
- FIG 3 is a schematic representation of a mechanical manipulation device for a flexible bag according to the invention for aiding the closing of the bag;
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a brush wheel according to the invention when it is stationary in a) and when it is rotated in b);
- FIG. 1 represents a logistics installation 1 for sorting parcels 2 according to the invention comprising outlets 3 sorting distributed along a sorting conveyor 4 capable of sorting packages 2 into bags 6 for transporting packages.
- the logistics installation 1 according to the invention also comprises a device 5 for the mechanical handling of flexible bags 6, here parcel transport bags, placed in mobile supports 7 of the sorting cart type moved automatically by shuttle robots.
- the device 5 according to the invention is designed to process bags 6 placed in their carriage 7 with the mouth here facing upwards and with at least one flap 6a capable of being folded towards the outside or the inside of the carriage 7 respectively. for opening or closing the bag 6.
- the sorting carriage 7 here comprises a bottom, four side walls 7a and an opening at the top.
- Each bag 6 therefore comprises at least one flap 6a intended to be folded over a side wall 7a of the carriage 7.
- the device 5 comprises more particularly at least one brush wheel 8, visible in figure 2 c), mounted in rotation around an axis 9 capable of rubbing the flap 6a of the bag 6.
- the shaft 9 serves as a support for the brush wheel S and is presented here by way of example in the form of a horizontal bar.
- the brush wheel 8 serves here as a gripping member capable of raising or lowering the flap 6a of the bag 6 on one side or the other of a side wall 7a of the carriage 7.
- the brush wheel 8 has an adherent contact surface capable of adhering to the flap 6a during friction, for example with a coefficient of friction of about 0.5. More particularly, the brush wheel 8 comprises fins 10, as shown in Figure 4,
- Each fin 10 comprises an arcuate and flexible portion 11 extending from the axis 9 and a rectilinear and terminal portion 12 which extends the arcuate portion 11,
- the fins 10 of the brush wheel 8 will have a width of approximately 50mm so as to achieve a friction surface of approximately 10cm2 with the bag 6, a sufficient surface to allow the flap 6a to be folded while avoiding frictional contact with other adjacent flaps.
- the terminal rectilinear portions 12 substantially form a rim and the arcuate portions 11 substantially form spokes of the wheel.
- the length of the spoke of the rim depends not only on the length of the portions arcuate 11 of the fins 10 but also of the speed of rotation of the brush wheel 8.
- the arcuate portions 11 according to the invention may be made of polyurethane with a hardness coefficient of 40sh
- the device 5 may also be equipped with a control/command unit 13 configured to control the movement of the carriage 7 and to control the rotational drive of the brush wheel 8 in a forward and reverse direction of rotation.
- FIG. 2 An opening kinetics of a flap 6a of the bag 6 positioned inside the trolley 7 is represented in figure 2 and in figure 1 in the space 5b of the logistics installation 1 dedicated to the opening of the bag 6.
- the control/command unit 13 is configured both to automatically control the movement of a shuttle robot at constant speed and thus to move the carriage 7 transversely to the axis 9 along the arrow F2 and to control the rotation of the brush wheel 8 as soon as the brush wheel 8 is plumb in the center of the mouth of the bag 6 and up to the plumb of the side wall 7a of the corresponding carriage 7, as shown in Figure 2 c ).
- the brush wheel B is here driven in rotation in a direction of rotation opposite to the orientation of the fins 10, here the forward direction of rotation.
- control/command unit 13 is configured to control the rotation of the brush wheel 8 in the other direction of rotation, here the reverse direction of rotation, in order to lower the flap 6a of the bag 6 towards the outside of the carriage 7, as shown in Figure 2 d).
- the two side brush wheels 8 are arranged to be plumb with the side walls 7a on the side of the carriage 7 during its transverse movement and the central brush wheel 8 is arranged to be plumb with the front side wall 7a in the direction of travel of the carriage 7.
- the control/command unit 13 is configured both to automatically control the movement of a shuttle robot at constant speed and thus to move the carriage 7 longitudinally to the axis 9 along the arrow F1 and to control the drive in rotation of the brush wheel 8 as soon as the brush wheel 8 is located directly above the side wall 7a on the side of the carriage 7 on which the flap 6 is folded.
- Two parallel axes 9, shown in Figure 3, each provided with several brush wheels 8, may be provided on each side of the carriage 7 in order to simultaneously fold flaps 6a of the bag 6 onto two opposite side walls 7a of the carriage 7.
