Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for association ⁇ individually Stuckgut of flat, in particular of mail from a stack by means of a stripper of a Stapelmagazmes having a vertically movable to the stacking direction of the drawing-off Stuckgut.
- Such a device is known for example from US 3,861,669.
- stacked letters ei means ⁇ nes conveyor belt are separated, that with the aid of a pressure sensor sucks the respective next letter and pulls out from the stack.
- the following letter prints on the one to be pulled out, which makes it difficult to pull it off.
- the following letter will be dragged due to the static friction, especially if the first letter is partially pulled out and the next is printed against the conveyor belt.
- the invention has for its object to increase the reliabilitystatssi ⁇ during separation of the stucco material. This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1.
- the Haftrei ⁇ environment is reduced between the adjacent unit loads and avoiding a tack-like Anemanderhaften of the two lower stucco Good.
- the piece of stucco adjacent to the pull-off member is grasped by the latter and is displaced transversely to the stacking direction in motion. The risk that the next piece of stucco is taken away is considerably reduced.
- the movement impulse can be generated in a simple manner.
- the side facing the piece goods top of the stopper is goose movable between a height level above and below the support surface of the Abziehor- so that the piece goods rest either fully or on the Ab-withdrawing organ ⁇ gegnüber this can be retained.
- the movability of the puller in the stacking direction according to claim 4 ensures that the puller always remains in contact with the lowermost piece goods during the movement, so that the pulling movement can start as soon as top dead center is reached.
- the puller can e.g. be designed as a belt conveyor, which is pivotally mounted about its drive axis and which is actuated by means of a cam disk.
- the puller according to claim 8 can e.g. be designed as a puller drum, in which the puller member is formed by a rotating suction roll.
- the puller can e.g. be resiliently resilient and can be moved in the stacking direction by means of a correspondingly controlled drive.
- the arrangement according to claim 12 facilitates the coupling of the drive motor for the conveyor belt.
- the stops according to claim 13 make it possible to pivot the conveyor belt away from the magazine to such an extent that the piece goods to be pulled out can no longer be reached by the following one.
- the pivoting movement can be continued so far that a suitable transport angle for transferring the piece goods can be set, for example, to a subsequent belt.
- the development according to claim 15 ensures that pieces of different sizes are reliably gripped by the conveyor belt. This is arranged so that the center of gravity of the stucco Good m approximately the center of the Forder ⁇ band. The lateral limit stops detecting the Stuckgu ⁇ ter at least in the area of the other diagonal. This loading range also covers the focus of stucco good, so this Abklappens of the Forderbandes is securely retained to ⁇ while.
- the cam according to claim 16 is a simple and safe tool to generate the desired movement profile of the conveyor.
- HAF ⁇ By the cross-pulse according to claim 17 HAF ⁇ is also expulsion also Gert verrm- and facilitates the extraction of the stucco material between the individual piece goods.
- stucco goods of widely different formats can also be defined in the stack be tracked. Due to the inclined position of the stack of magazines, the incline of the magazine can be kept so low that, for example, the postal matter can be inserted in an ergonomically favorable manner.
- the vibrator-like pulse facilitates not only from ⁇ directed toward the postal item to the guide walls, but also the slipping of the drawing-off.
- ⁇ directed toward the postal item to the guide walls but also the slipping of the drawing-off.
- even piece goods of widely differing formats can be tracked in a defined manner in the stack. This is arranged so that the center of gravity of the piece goods lies approximately in the middle of the conveyor belt .
- the pulling direction pointing obliquely upwards uses the force of gravity to improve the pulling process. It is also possible to lower the magazine accordingly, so that it can be refilled and operated manually more easily.
- the arrangement of the stop ridges of claim 20 along the guide walls is achieved that the respective ERS ⁇ withdrawing cargo leaves the stop portion already after a short distance.
- the mail will then be inclined in the stack at an angle to the stacking direction, so that the angle between the two guide walls must be kept greater than 90 °.
- the stacking direction can be held flat ⁇ th accordingly, which facilitates manual insertion of sub-stacks of piece goods.
- FIG 2 shows the device according to figure 1 m a nachfol ⁇ constricting working phase without the pivot drive, Figure 3 and 4, the device according to FIG 2 m to follow ⁇ the working phases, Figure 5 shows a section through the device along the line VV m Figure 4.
- Figure 6 shows another device with a pulse generator
- Figure 7 shows the device of Figure 6 with another
- the Linearforderer 4 has two guide rollers 6 for the For ⁇ derband 3, of which one is constructed as a drive roller. 7
- the linear feeder 4 is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 8 which coincides with the central axis of the drive roller 7 and which is arranged near the underside 5 of the stacking magazine 2.
- a swivel drive 9 for the linear conveyor 4 comprises a swivel lever 10, a cam plate 11 and a compression spring 12 which is arranged on the side of the swivel lever 10 opposite the cam plate 11.
- the cam disc 11 acts on the pivot lever 10 such that it together with the linear feeder 4 m different angular positions can be pivoted.
- Reference numerals II, III and IV mark the sections of the cam track of the cam plate 11 which are engaged with the pivot lever 10 according to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 m.
- FIG. 1 show the different directions of movement of the individual elements.
- the linear feeder 4 is pivoted to the item hm in accordance with the upper left pivot arrow.
- the linear feeder 4 is pivoted with a large swivel angle m to the position shown in FIG. 4 in order to give the stucco item 1 m a suitable transfer position, e.g. to bring to a subsequent requester.
- a suitable transfer position e.g. to bring to a subsequent requester.
- stops 13 On the underside of the stacking magazine 2 there are stops 13 which protrude into the stacking area and prevent the piece 1 from falling out of the stacking magazine 2.
- the trough-like Stapelmagazm 2 has two mutually perpendicular side walls, an L-formiges Fuhrungsprofll 14 bil for Stuckgut 1 ⁇ so that at the two legs of the Fuhrungspro- files 14 due to the action of gravity.
- the angular position of the ⁇ Fuhrungsproflies 14 for conveyor belt 3 is so- ⁇ selects that track whose average is in the range of the diagonals of the letter-like stucco material. 1
- the defined system on the guiding profile fleece 14 ensures that even stucco 1 of different formats is reliably gripped by the conveyor belt 3.
- the web-like stops 13 extend on both sides of the conveyor belt 3 along the lower edges of the guide profile 14. They protrude into the stacking area in such a way that even the smallest piece of stucco 1 its corners protruding beyond the conveyor belt 3 are covered in the center of gravity and lie securely until the linear conveyor 4 has been pivoted back again in its initial position shown in FIG.
- the impulses of the pulse generator (15) also reduce the static friction between the piece goods and thus make it easier for the bottom stucco goods to be pulled off by the conveyor belt.
- the magazine is arranged here at a very flat angle of inclination, which means the manual insertion of partial stacks of the Stuck Good m lower operating position ergonomically significantly teilt be ⁇ .
- the initial position of the Forderbandes is blunt ⁇ inclined angle to the stacking direction, passing the stucco Good favored.
- the piece is not perpendicular, but rather at an angle to the stacking direction.
- the guide walls are at an angle of more than 90 ° to one another.
- the formed as a vibrator pulse ⁇ allows encoder despite the low angle of inclination of the Staff pels a secure slipping of the stucco material.
- the conveyor belt 3 is designed to be stationary and the stops 13 are not attached to the guide profile 14, but rather to a rocker arm 17 serving as a pulse generator, which can be pivoted about its pivot axis 8 by another pivot drive 18 in such a way that the stops are pulse-like printed against the stacked stucco and can be moved away from it.
- the stops 13 are briefly lowered to a level below the conveyor belt 3 until the respective item 1 has left the contact area of the stops 13. Immediately afterwards, this its initial position above the zuruckbewegt be Bandni ⁇ veaus, so that the subsequent Stuckgut is retained to 1 ⁇ .
