Definitions
- the invention relates to a stacking compartment for flat items, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Sorting systems for flat mail items with corresponding stacking compartments into which the mail items are sorted are currently still emptied manually, i.e.
- the sorted batches of consignments are manually reloaded from the sorting system into mail containers.
- the consignments are each fed into the stacking compartments using a stacking mechanism.
- a linearly guided stack support is arranged in the stacking compartment, which guides the end of the stack and prevents the stack from tipping over.
- this stack support is swiveled out of the stack in rotation and lowered further near the front or back into the stack at the stacking point. It has both a supporting and a separating function (cutting knife). The part thus separated can now be removed manually from the stacking compartment.
- Only manually manageable quantities or stack lengths can be removed and reloaded into conveying containers.
- one or more accesses with the associated operating time are required to empty the compartment.
- JP 09-086 771 A describes a stacking compartment for flat mail items
- a stack support which can be moved in an approximately horizontal stacking direction along the stack wall and which holds the stack
- a stacking device is known from GB-PS 1 303 135 for flat objects to be stacked upright, in which the stacking support can be lowered down into the stacking floor level.
- the invention has for its object to provide a stacking tray with a stack support for stacks of flat mail items in a standing position, in which no mail items are removed from the stack assembly during emptying and moving the stack.
- the object is achieved by a stacking compartment with the features of claim 1.
- the stacking support can be lowered into the stacking floor level.
- the stacking base is at least partially profiled and the stacking support is designed to mesh with the base profile with its surface sliding on the stacking base in the raised state, preventing the stack from falling over.
- no broadcast fertilizer is carried upwards, and thin consignments cannot slide between the stacking support and the stacking floor as a result of the interlocking.
- the stacking support can be sunk in various advantageous ways.
- the stacking support at the end of the stacking compartment can be pivoted downwards in the stacking direction into the level of the stacking base.
- the stack support then takes over the function of the stack base for bridging in the swung-down state, so that the stack can be pushed onto a subsequent support surface without interruption.
- another support mechanism which is lowered from above, but which is not the subject of the invention, takes over the task of the stack support.
- the stacking support can be moved vertically at the end of the stacking base and, at its upper edge, has a part aligned in the lowered state approximately parallel to the stacking base for bridging a gap between the stacking base and a subsequent contact surface.
- the end edge of the stack base located in the stacking direction is also profiled and the surface of the stack support facing the profiled end edge of the stack base during vertical movement is filleted so that it combs with the profiled edge of the stacking floor when it is shut down.
- This intermeshing profiling means that no consignment can slip between the stacking floor and the stacking support.
- the vertical movement of the stack support can advantageously be realized by pivoting the stack support in the plane of the stack base perpendicular to the stack direction.
- the stacking base advantageously has a sawtooth profile, the steep flanks being directed towards the stacking wall. As a result, the programs get stuck on the steep flanks.
- the surface of the in the shutdown state is approximately e parallel “. part of the stacking support aligned with the stacking base has the same surface profile as the stacking base.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a stacking compartment with a stack of mail items held by a pivotable stacking support
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a stacking compartment, the end of the stack being at the end of the stacking compartment and the stacking support being partially pivoted downwards;
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a stacking compartment corresponding to FIG. 2, the stacking support being pivoted completely downwards; 4 shows an enlarged view of the stack support in the stacking compartment;
- FIG. 5 shows a partial view of the end of the stacking compartment with the stacking support partially pivoted down and looking at the profiled side.
- each stacking compartment 5 consists of a stacking base 7 and a stacking wall 6 which is perpendicular thereto.
- a switch arrangement with a switch wing 3 in order to specifically discharge the fertilizers according to their destination addresses.
- the mail items 1 are directed into the respective stacking compartment 5 to a stack support 8 or to the last mail item of an already existing stack 11. There they are braked and aligned on the stacking wall 6.
- the stack support 8 is displaceable along the stack wall 6 against a spring force directed towards the stacking point and is pivotably guided in the stack bottom plane.
- the stack base 7, as can be seen in FIG. 1, has a sawtooth shape, the sawtooth flanks running parallel to the stacking wall 6 and the steep flanks facing the stacking wall 6.
- the stack support 8 has the same profile on its underside sliding on the stack base 7 (FIG. 4), so that both profiles mesh with one another. As a result, no thin and flexible mailings 1 can slide between the stacking base 7 and the stacking support 8 and bouncing back or sliding off the stacking wall 6 is largely avoided.
- the stacking wall 6 has a recessed part in this lower area.
- the movement component of the items 1 directed along the stacking wall 6 generates a force which pushes the stacking support 8 away from the stacking point against the spring force.
- the stack support 8 is pivoted down according to FIGS. 2 and 3 in order to be able to push the stack 11 onto a subsequent support surface 12.
- the mailings 1 would therefore have to run with their narrow sides in this sawtooth profile in order to get between the edge of the stacking base and the stacking support 8, which does not take place due to their inherent rigidity.
- an external support mechanism (not shown) is moved next to the stack support 8.
- the support mechanism takes over the stack 11 and then continues to move in a controlled manner when the stack 11 is moved further. If all the mail items 1 of the stack 11 are on the support surface 12, the recesses 13 support fingers 14 upwards. drive, which then support the stack 11 so that the stacking device 4 can be brought back to the starting position.
