Abstract

In the input area of a sorting device flat objects (1) are conveyed on two levels by means of belt-like, revolving conveyor means (12, 13). Both conveyor means are divided into identical sections and together revolve around an idler pulley (7) with which they are meshed and where the objects (1) are carefully transferred from one conveyor means to the other. One conveyor means comprises carriers (11) for creating the sections while the other conveyor means presents connecting elements (5) into which the carriers (11) dip as they revolve around the idler pulley (7) as well as elastic, preloaded cover bands (6) which expand in accordance with the thickness and stiffness of the object being conveyed.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Transporteinrichtung für flache SendungenTransport device for flat consignments
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Transporteinrichtung für flache Sendungen im Eingangsbereich einer Sortieranlage mit einem umlaufenden, die Sendungen liegend transportierenden Abschnittsforderband.The invention relates to a transport device for flat consignments in the entrance area of a sorting system with a rotating section conveyor belt that transports the consignments horizontally.
Es ist üblich, die Sendungen in einer Sortieranlage der Sortiereinrichtung mittels eines Zufuhrbandes zuzuführen, das entlang einer waagerechten geraden Transportstrecke mehrere aufeinanderfolgende Bearbeitungsstationen aufweist. Derartige Bearbeitungsstationen sind z.B. Eingabestationen, in denen das Postgut aus Seitenbandern auf das Zufuhrband aufgebracht wird. Andere Stationen sind z.B. eine Ausrichtstation, eine Sichtstation, ein Auswerfer und nachgeordnete Druckstationen zur Beschriftung des Postgutes mit den Zieladressen entsprechenden Signaturen (WO 95/02468).It is customary to feed the mail items in a sorting system to the sorting device by means of a feed belt which has a plurality of successive processing stations along a horizontal straight transport path. Such processing stations are e.g. Input stations in which the postal matter from side belts is applied to the feed belt. Other stations are e.g. an alignment station, a viewing station, an ejector and downstream printing stations for labeling the postal matter with signatures corresponding to the destination addresses (WO 95/02468).
In der Sichtstation wird die Lage der Sendungen überprüft und die Zieladresse eingelesen. Fehlerhaft aufliegende Sendungen werden im nachfolgenden Auswerfer seitlich aus dem Zufuhrband entfernt. Undeutlich geschriebene Adressen werden an einen Arbeitsplatz übermittelt und dort korrigiert. Für diesen Vorgang wird eine größere Zeitspanne benotigt, so daß der Abschnitt zwischen der Sichtstation und der Endbearbeitung entsprechend dem Maschinenkonzept entsprechend lang gehalten werden muß.The position of the consignments is checked in the viewing station and the destination address is read. Shipments that are incorrectly positioned are laterally removed from the feed belt in the following ejector. Unclearly written addresses are sent to a workplace and corrected there. A larger period of time is required for this process, so that the section between the viewing station and the finishing must be kept correspondingly long in accordance with the machine concept.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Transportieren von flachen, liegend transportierten Sendungen, insbesondere Großbriefen, im Eingangsbereich einer Sortieranlage mit geringem Langenbedarf bei größtmöglicher Schonung der Sendungen zu realisieren. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelost. Durch die Aufteilung des Eingangsbereiches m mehrere Transportebenen ist es möglich, die Lange des Eingangsbereiches der Sortieranlage zu verringern.The invention is based on the object of realizing the transport of flat, horizontally transported mail items, in particular large letters, in the entrance area of a sorting system with little length requirement with the greatest possible protection of the mail items. This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1. By dividing the entrance area into several transport levels, it is possible to reduce the length of the entrance area of the sorting system.
Um einen schonenden Transport der Sendungen bei der Überführung von einer Transportebene zur anderen Transportebene zu gewährleisten, werden zwei separate bandförmige Transportmittel eingesetzt, die gemeinsam über eine Umlenktrommel mit einer gewählten Umschlingung gefuhrt sind. In dieser Uberlappungszone erfolgt die Übergabe der Sendungen von einem zum anderen Transportmittel, wobei durch die Verzahnungen der Transportmittel mit der Umlenktrommel ein synchroner Lauf der Transportmittel gewahrleistet wird und auf die Sendungen keine Schiebe- und Scherbeanspruchungen ausgeübt werden. Da die Mitnehmer m die Verbm- dungselemente eintauchen können, bleiben die Sendungen bei der Übergabe geschützt.In order to ensure that the consignments are transported gently during the transfer from one transport level to the other transport level, two separate belt-shaped transport means are used, which are guided together via a deflection drum with a selected loop. In this overlap zone, the consignments are transferred from one means of transport to the other, the synchronizing of the means of transport being ensured by the interlocking of the means of conveyance with the deflecting drum, and no pushing and shearing stresses being exerted on the consignments. Since the drivers can immerse the connecting elements, the mail items remain protected when they are handed over.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteran- spruchen dargelegt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set out in the subclaims.
Vorteilhaft ist es, die Verbindungselemente aufwandsarm als außen offene U-Profile auszubilden.It is advantageous to design the connecting elements with little effort as externally open U-profiles.
Vorteilhaft ist es auch, die Zugmittel des Transportmittels stabil als Rollenketten mit Mitnehmerlaschen, an denen dieIt is also advantageous for the traction means of the transport means to be stable as roller chains with driver plates on which the
Verbindungselemente befestigt sind, auszufuhren. Zur sicheren Umlenkung der Rollenketten werden diese vorteilhaft über Kettenrader der Umlenktrommel gefuhrt.Fasteners are attached to run. To securely deflect the roller chains, they are advantageously guided via chain wheels on the deflection drum.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausfuhrung befinden sich in den horizontal orientierten Bereichen dicht unter dem Transportmittel sowie dem Abschnittsforderband Abtragplatten, um die mit Sendungen beladenen Deck- bzw. Zugbander zu stutzen und somit ihr schädliches Durchhangen zu verhindern.In a further advantageous embodiment, removal plates are located in the horizontally oriented areas directly below the means of transport and the section conveyor belt, in order to trim the cover or tension band loaded with mail items and thus to prevent their harmful sagging.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausfuhrungsbeispieles naher erläutert. Dabei zeigenThe invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show

Die flachen Sendungen 1, insbesondere Großbriefe, werden im Eingabebereich 2 wie an sich bekannt, aber hier nicht naher dargestellt, nacheinander m einer oder mehreren hintereinander- liegenden Eingabestationen auf einen horizontalen Bereich eines umlaufenden Transportmittels 12, bestehend aus zwei äußeren als Rollenketten 3 realisierten Zugmitteln, an denen über Andruckkissen 15 querliegende, außen offene U-Profile 5 befestigt sind und mehreren parallel zueinander laufenden, elastischen, vorgespannten Deckbandern 6, zwischen die U-Profile 5 geladen. In diesem Bereich befindet sich dicht unterhalb des Transportmittels 12 eine Abtragplatte 4, um die mit den Sendungen 1 belade- nen Deckbander 6 zu stutzen. Die Abstände der U-Profile 5 ent- sprechen den Abstanden der Mitnehmer 11 eines Abschnittsforderbandes 13, das die Sendungen 1 an einem horizontal verlaufenden Bearbeitungsbereich vorbei einer Sortiereinrichtung zufuhrt. Die beiden horizontal orientierten Bereiche des Transportmittels 12 und des Abschnittsforderbandes 13 befinden sich in zwei ver- schiedenen Ebenen.The flat mail items 1, in particular large letters, are, as is known per se, but not shown in detail here, in the input area 2, one after the other, in one or more successive input stations on a horizontal area of a rotating means of transport 12, consisting of two outer traction means realized as roller chains 3 , to which transverse, externally open U-profiles 5 are attached via pressure cushions 15 and a plurality of elastic, prestressed shrouds 6 running parallel to one another, loaded between the U-profiles 5. In this area, a removal plate 4 is located just below the transport means 12 in order to trim the cover band 6 loaded with the mail items 1. The spacing of the U-profiles 5 corresponds to the spacing of the drivers 11 of a section conveyor belt 13, which feeds the mail items 1 past a horizontally running processing area to a sorting device. The two horizontally oriented areas of the transport means 12 and the section conveyor belt 13 are located in two different levels.
Die Sendungen 1 liegen nach dem Einschleusen geschützt zwischen den U-Profilen 5 auf den Deckbandern 6, gestutzt durch eine Abtragplatte 4 und werden von diesen m Richtung einer Um- lenktrommel 7 transportiert. Nach etwa 180° Umschlingung mit der Umlenktrommel 7 lost sich dieses Band und wird über Umlenkrollen 14 an den Anfang der Eingabestrecke zurückgeführt.After the transfer, the mail items 1 are protected between the U-profiles 5 on the cover bands 6, supported by a removal plate 4 and are transported by these in the direction of a deflection drum 7. After about 180 ° wrapping with the deflection drum 7, this band is released and is returned to the beginning of the input path via deflection rollers 14.
Das Abschnittsforderband 13, das ebenfalls über die Umlenktrom- mel 7 mit der gleichen Umschlingung sowie über Umlenkrollen 16 gefuhrt ist, besteht aus mehreren schmalen Zugmitteln, in diesem Beispiel Zahnriemen 10. Darauf sind in o.g. Langstellung Mitneh- mer 11 so angeordnet, daß sie, wenn sie die Umlenktrommel 7 erreichen, genau in die Mitte der U-Profile 5 des Transportmittels 12 greifen. Da die Umlenktrommel 7 mit den Zugmitteln des Abschnittsforderbandes 13 verzahnt 9 und mit den Zugmitteln des Transportmittels 12 über ein Kettenrad verzahnt ist 8 und ihre Drehachse zugleich Antriebsachse 17 des Systems ist, laufen das Abschnittsforderband 13 und das Transportmittel 12 im Uberlap- pungsbereich mit synchroner Geschwindigkeit. Die Deckbander 6 passen sich zwischen den U-Profilen 5 m diesem Bereich der Dicke der Sendungen 1 individuell an, so daß diese mit konstanten Verhaltnissen umgelenkt und schonend von einem Transportband zum anderen übergeben werden.The section conveyor belt 13, which is also guided over the deflection drum 7 with the same wrap and over deflection rollers 16, consists of several narrow traction means, in this example toothed belts 10. mer 11 arranged so that they reach exactly in the middle of the U-profiles 5 of the transport means 12 when they reach the deflection drum 7. Since the deflection drum 7 is toothed 9 with the traction means of the section conveyor belt 13 and is toothed with the traction means of the transport means 12 via a chain wheel 8 and its axis of rotation is at the same time the drive axis 17 of the system, the section conveyor belt 13 and the transport means 12 run in the overlap region at a synchronous speed . The cover bands 6 adapt individually between the U-profiles 5 m to this area of the thickness of the mail items 1, so that they are deflected with constant conditions and transferred gently from one conveyor belt to another.
Es ist für den Fachmann ohne weiteres ersichtlich, daß im Emga- bebereich das Abschnittsforderband 13 mit Mitnehmern 11 und im Bearbeitungsbereich das Transportmittel 12 mit den U-Profilen 5 eingesetzt werden kann. Müssen die Sendungen 1 im Eingangsbereich der Sortieranlage längere Wege mit mehreren Umlenkungen durchlaufen, so kann an jeder Umlenktrommel 7 die Übergabe der Sendungen 1 von einem Transportband zum anderen erfolgen. It is readily apparent to the person skilled in the art that the section conveyor belt 13 with drivers 11 can be used in the receiving area and the transport means 12 with the U-profiles 5 can be used in the processing area. If the mail items 1 have to travel longer distances with several deflections in the entrance area of the sorting system, the mail items 1 can be transferred from one conveyor belt to another on each deflection drum 7.
