Definitions
- the invention relates to a loading device for feeding flat, flexible conveyed goods, in particular envelopes, into a station for further individual handling.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the loading device according to FIG. 1, with details of part of the station for further individual handling of the items to be conveyed, FIG.
- the loading device of the type proposed here contains, as can be seen from FIG. 1, an inclined downward feed conveyor channel 1 for receiving stacks 2 of conveyed items 3, which are placed in the feed channel 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 2.
- the feed channel 1 and the discharge channel 4 have a common right, seen in the conveying direction, angular side wall 5, a common, angular bottom 6 and a common, seen in the conveying direction, left, angular side wall 7.
- the side wall 7 is attached to it on the free leg with oblong holes in the manner shown in Fig. 1 in certain formats of the Conveyed items adjustable in the direction transverse to the conveying direction.
- the bottom 6 of the feed channel 1 and the discharge channel 4 is cut out at the transition between the two channels in the manner shown in FIG. 1 such that the upper debris 8 of three conveyor belts 9 of a first conveyor belt unit 10 can be guided over the bottom of the discharge channel 4 .
- the upper debris of the conveyor belts 9 thus follow the course of the discharge channel 4 obliquely upwards and then, supported by deflection rollers 11 at its upper end, merge into a horizontal course parallel to the level of a transfer table 12.
- the transfer table 12 is provided with longitudinal slots from which the upper debris of the conveyor belts 9 protrude slightly above the table level in their horizontally running section.
- the bottom of the discharge channel 4 is provided in a region between two conveyor belts 9 of the first conveyor belt unit 10 with a cutout 17 oriented in the conveying direction, from which the upper run 18 of a circulating belt 19 extends somewhat beyond the level of the bottom of the discharge channel 4 (see FIG. 2 ) protrudes, the surface of which is low-friction.
- the circulating belt 19, as symbolically indicated in FIG. 2 by the dash-dotted line 20, is driven synchronously and in the same direction as the conveyor belts 9 of the first conveyor belt unit 10.
- the output signal of the detector 38 causes the control unit 36 to control the drive 16 in a pre-positioning mode, for which purpose 16 time control means of the control unit 36 assumes the drive speed is constant Put the drive 16 into operation for a time sufficient to move the leading edge of the first conveyed item from the detector 38 to the gripper 33.
- the distance between the gripper tongs 33 in the receiving position from the exit side of the gap between the conveyor belt units 10 and 13 is selected such that a piece of conveyed material gripped with its leading edge by the gripper tongs 33 with its rear edge still between the conveyor belt units 10 and 13 is held.
- this piece of conveyed goods gripped by the tongs 33 is then pulled between the conveyor belt units 10 and 13.
- the removal device 30 and the transfer table 12 are designed as a device unit and on a carriage, as indicated in FIG.
- the removal device 30 can also contain pairs of opposing removal conveyor belts or rollers 41 and 42 which form a conveying gap, the removal conveyor rollers 42 either being raised to a rest position by a drive 43 or into a conveying position against the removal conveyor belts 41 are lowerable.
- the conveyor belts 41 can rotate continuously.
- the drive 43 presses the take-off conveyor rollers downward, as a result of which the foremost conveyed item 3 out of the shingled stream of conveyed items and with its trailing edge In ⁇
- the resolver output signals of the drive 32 for the conveyor chain 31 determine when and over which periods or drive section sections the drive 16 for the conveyor belt units 10 and 13 is put into operation.
- the detectors 38 and 39 as subordinate control means, determine the conveyance of the shingled flow of material to be conveyed into the gripper tongs 33 or into the conveying gap between the conveyor belts 41 and the pressure rollers 42 (FIG. 4).
