Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen und Auflockern von Stapeln flacher Gegenstände, insbesondere Postsendungen, zu einem Vereinzeler einer Sortieranla ge, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for feeding and loosening stacks flat objects, in particular mail items, to a separator of a sorting plant ge, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bisher wurden Sendungsstapel von Briefen mittels Unterflurtransportband zugeführt und das Auflockern der Sendungsstapel erfolgte durch Einblasen von Luft. Ein Ausrichten der Ein zelteile der Stapel wurde mithilfe von Rüttlern realisiert. Der Nachteil hierbei besteht in dem hohen Aufwand (drei Arbeitsschritte) und einer ungleichmäßigen Auflockerung, wodurch die Gefahr von Doppelabzügen beim anschließenden Vereinzeln der Briefe steigt. Die Auflocke rung von Flats oder flachen Päckchen ist mittels Einblasen von Luft überhaupt nicht lösbar.So far, batches of letters have been fed using an underground conveyor belt and that The batches of items were loosened by blowing in air. Aligning the one Individual parts of the stack were made using vibrators. The disadvantage here is that high effort (three steps) and an uneven loosening, which the The risk of double deductions when the letters are subsequently separated increases. The curl Flats or flat packs cannot be removed at all by blowing in air.
Aus der DE-AS 26 28 338 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Abziehen einzelner Briefe von einem hochkant geordneten Stapel bekannt, bei der die Sendungen mittels Spindeln/Förder schnecken einem Förderband zugeführt werden. In Zuführrichtung sind verschiedene Spin deln mit zunehmender Steigung angeordnet. Eine Spindel weist eine entgegengesetzte Wendelrichtung auf, so daß bei entgegengesetzter Drehrichtung die Briefe beim Zuführen ausgerichtet werden. Durch die zunehmende Steigung werden die Briefe sehr lose gestapelt dem abziehenden Förderband zugeführt, so daß eine merkliche Druckeinwirkung auf das Förderband durch den Briefstapel vermieden wird. Nachteilig hierbei ist die wenig geordnete Zuführung.From DE-AS 26 28 338 is a device for pulling individual letters from one upright ordered stack known, in which the shipments by means of spindles / conveyor snails are fed to a conveyor belt. There are different spin in the feed direction arranged with increasing incline. One spindle has an opposite one Direction of spiral on, so that the letters when feeding in the opposite direction be aligned. Due to the increasing incline, the letters are stacked very loosely fed to the withdrawing conveyor belt, so that a noticeable pressure on the Conveyor belt is avoided by the stack of letters. The disadvantage here is the poorly ordered Feed.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum ausgerichteten Zuführen und Auflockern von Sendungsstapeln flacher Gegenstände zu schaffen, die den Stand der Technik dahingehend verbessert, daß die Sendungen dem Vereinzeler gleichmäßig aufge lockert, ausgerichtet und geordnet zugeführt werden.The invention has for its object a device for aligned feeding and loosening up batches of flat items to reflect the state of the art Technology improved to the extent that the consignments evenly opened up the separator relaxed, aligned and fed in an orderly manner.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Der Vorteil dieser Lösung liegt darin, daß gleichzeitig mit der Transportbewegung, hervorge rufen durch die Drehung der Spindeln bei zunehmender Steigung, durch die Erhöhung der Anzahl der Spindelgänge in Transportrichtung eine gleichmäßige und geordnete Auflocke rung des Transportgutes stattfindet. Eine Schrägstellung der Spindeln in einer vorteilhaften Auskleidung der Erfindung gemäß Patentanspruch 2 bewirkt, daß die flachen Gegenstände besser und gleichmäßiger in die Spindeln einlaufen.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The advantage of this solution is that it works simultaneously with the transport movement call by the rotation of the spindles with increasing incline, by increasing the Number of spindles in the direction of transport an even and orderly loosening transport goods takes place. An inclination of the spindles in an advantageous Lining of the invention according to claim 2 causes the flat objects enter the spindles better and more evenly.
In einem Beispiel wird die Erfindung nun anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen Fig. 1 eine schematische Perspektivdarstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung zum Transport von Briefen und Karten zu einem Vereinzler einer Sortieranlage.In an example, the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the inventive solution for the transport of letters and cards to a card separator of a sorting plant.
Fig. 2 einen Querschnitt durch eine Spindel. Fig. 2 shows a cross section through a spindle.
Wie der Fig. 1 zu entnehmen ist, befinden sich im Boden B zwei mit ihren Längsachsen in Transportrichtung zum Vereinzler mit seinem Reibband RB zum Abziehen der Briefe hin ausgerichtete Spindeln SP. Desweiteren befindet sich in einer senkrechten seitlich am Boden B angebrachten Seitenbegrenzung SB ebenfalls eine gleichausgerichtete Spindel SP. Diese drei Spindeln SP sind hinsichtlich Durchmesser, Steigung und Anzahl der Gänge gleich ausgeführt und liegen in Transportrichtung in einer Höhe. Damit die Briefe und Karten zur Kante zwischen Boden und Seitenbegrenzung hin ausgerichtet werden, haben die Spindeln SP im Boden eine rechtsgerichtete, die Spindel SP in der Seitenbegrenzung SB eine linksgerichtete Windung. Durch die Drehbewegung der Spindeln SP gemäß Fig. 1 werden die Briefe auf ihre Hinter- und Unterkante, d. h. zur Kante zwischen Boden B und Seitenbegrenzung SB hin, ausgerichtet.As can be seen from FIG. 1, there are two spindles SP in the base B with their longitudinal axes in the transport direction to the singler with its friction belt RB for pulling off the letters. Furthermore, there is also a spindle SP which is aligned in the same way in a vertical side delimitation SB which is attached laterally to the base B. These three spindles SP are identical in terms of diameter, pitch and number of gears and are at a height in the direction of transport. So that the letters and cards are aligned towards the edge between the floor and the side boundary, the spindles SP in the bottom have a right-hand turn, the spindle SP in the side border SB have a left-hand turn. The rotary movement of the spindles SP according to FIG. 1 aligns the letters on their rear and bottom edge, ie towards the edge between floor B and side boundary SB.
Dem Querschnitt durch eine Spinel SP gemäß Fig. 2 kann man entnehmen, daß die Steigung links beim Einlauf den Wert S1 hat und sich in Transportrichtung kontinuierlich auf einen mehrfachen Wert Sn erhöht. Zusätzlich erhält die Spindel SP ab ca. der Mitte der Längsrichtung einen zweiten Gang. Alle drei Spindeln SP sind bezüglich dieser Parameter gleich aufgebaut. Dadurch ergibt sich eine gleichmäßige Verringerung der Packungsdichte der zugeführten Briefe und Karten zum Vereinzler hin, so daß sich Doppelabzüge verringern. Zusätzlich sind die Spindeln SP so schräg angeordnet, daß sie sich allmählich unter einem Winkel aus dem Boden B bzw. der Seitenbegrenzung SB in Transportrichtung erheben, so daß sich eine gleichmäßige Übernahme der Briefe und Karten in die Einrichtung ergibt.The cross section through a spinel SP according to FIG. 2 shows that the slope on the left at the inlet has the value S1 and increases continuously to a multiple value Sn in the direction of transport. In addition, the spindle SP receives a second gear from approx. The middle of the longitudinal direction. All three spindles SP have the same structure with regard to these parameters. This results in a uniform reduction in the packing density of the letters and cards fed to the separator, so that double deductions are reduced. In addition, the spindles SP are arranged so that they rise gradually at an angle from the floor B or the side limit SB in the transport direction, so that there is a uniform transfer of the letters and cards into the facility.
