Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of mail processing and more particularly relates to a machine for opening envelopes (also called letter opener) comprising an improved cutting device.
- this device is not without drawbacks.
- this provision of the knives inevitably produces a complete cut of the envelope and thus generates shreds of paper with the portion of the cut envelope.
- the linear velocity at the surface of the envelope will not be the same at the height of the knives and the drive rollers even though they are driven at an identical speed.
- the envelope will tend to away from the transport surface so that the cut may not be complete, the cut finally operating in the vacuum to one end of the envelope, leaving a half-cut envelope with a still closed portion.
- the present invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages with a cutting device for a mail processing machine that overcomes the aforementioned drawback by allowing a cutting the entire length of the envelopes in a direction perfectly parallel to the transport surface.
- An object of the invention is also to allow this cutting on one side of the envelope so as not to create flaps.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a cutting device which is not dependent on the manufacturing tolerance of the knife.
- an envelope cutting device comprising a rotary cutter capable of cutting an envelope, characterized in that it further comprises a rotary bearing element against which said envelope is in contact during its passage in front of said rotary knife and whose axis of rotation forms with a drive axis of said rotary knife a predetermined angle of inclination ⁇ .
- the inclination of the rotatable support member allows the casing against the transport path to keep a constant position during its displacement and thus generate a regular cut.
- said rotary support member may be a bearing or a plain bearing.
- said predetermined angle of inclination ⁇ is between 1 and 5 °.
- said rotary support element is mounted on a support comprising a pressing element offset laterally with respect to a cutting axis P passing through said axis of rotation of said rotary bearing element and said driving axis of said rotary knife and allowing a tilting of said rotary bearing member about said cutting axis of said predetermined angle of inclination ⁇ .
- said pressure element may comprise a screw passing through said support and at the end of which is mounted a smooth shoe or a through assembly formed of a screw acting on a ball via a spring.
- said support is movable along said cutting axis against an elastic return element and said support is mounted on a threaded rod provided with a nut / nut-nut assembly resting on a fixed part of said device. in such a way as to maintain said rotational support element at a predetermined distance d from said rotary knife.
- the figure 1 shows an example of architecture of machines to open envelopes 10 in which the envelopes to be opened are arranged on the wafer (field) in a stack, preferably formed by a homogeneous batch, resting on a receiving tray 12. These envelopes are pressed against a vertical transport wall 14 by a movable guide 16 pressed against these envelopes, for example by spring means (not shown) arranged under the receiving plate.
- the vertical transport wall is traversed by first motorized transport rollers 18 to move these envelopes along a transport path in a transport direction D to a device 20 for selecting one by one of these envelopes and then to the device cut 22 itself.
- These first transport rollers 18 are advantageously inclined towards the receiving plate by an angle ⁇ of between 5 and 15 °.
- Second motorized transport rollers 24 passing through the transport wall to the right of the cutting device are provided for moving the envelope along the transport path, the holding of this envelope during its cutting being ensured by opposing pressure rolls 26 free in rotation about their axis and mounted on an arm 28 pivotable about an axis 30 provided with a return spring 32.
- these second rollers 26 are not inclined towards the transport path and therefore towards the receiving tray, but on the contrary perfectly perpendicular to this path.
- the cutting device 24 illustrated in perspective at the figure 2 comprises a rotary cutting blade, or knife 34, rotated about a driving axis 36 perpendicular to the direction D of transport by a conventional pinion / motorized belt assembly of which only pinion 38 is shown. Note that the motorization of this set is preferably carried out in common with that of the first and second transport rollers via a suitable kinematic.
- this rotary knife 34 Faced with this rotary knife 34 is disposed at a predetermined distance d of the order of 30 to 50 microns from its periphery (substantially corresponding to the thickness of a face of the envelope), a rotary bearing element such as a bearing 40 mounted free on an axis of rotation 42 integral with a support 44 but inclined towards the receiving plate by an angle ⁇ of between 1 and 5 ° relative to a perpendicular to the direction D of transport (an inclination higher would cause a brake too large when moving the envelope causing the effect of a crumpling thereof), so that the plane of the bearing and the plane of the knife are also between them the same angle ⁇ from 1 to 5 ° (see the details of the figure 3 ).
- a rotary bearing element such as a bearing 40 mounted free on an axis of rotation 42 integral with a support 44 but inclined towards the receiving plate by an angle ⁇ of between 1 and 5 ° relative to a perpendicular to the direction D of transport (an inclination higher would cause
- the predetermined distance is chosen so that only one part of the envelope is cut out and not both at the risk of creating a flap of paper and the angle of inclination is chosen so as to maintain the envelope. constantly on its field and prevent it from shifting (and therefore rises) as it advanced through the cutting device. This inclination also makes it possible to overcome the manufacturing tolerances of the knife and the rotary bearing element.
- the support 44 is held in a predefined position to define the predetermined distance d by means of a rod Threaded 46 provided with a nut / lock nut 48 bearing on a fixed portion 50 of the device directly or through an intermediate guide piece 52 as illustrated.
- An elastic return element such as a compression spring 54 makes it possible to return to this predefined position when the bearing has been displaced during a jam, for example.
- the support 44 can slide linearly in the device along a cutting axis P passing through the driving axis of the rotary knife and the rotation axis of the bearing and perpendicular to the direction D of movement of the envelope to cut.
- This jam is detected by means of a detection cell (not shown) placed near the knife 34 and for detecting the passage of envelopes during opening.
- This cell is preferably of the optoelectronic type. Nevertheless, a contact sensor can also be used.
- the passage of an envelope in front of the knife has the effect of hiding the cell, for a duration typically less than 2 seconds, and then unmask when the envelope is fully open before being masked again by the next envelope. Thus, if the cell remains hidden for example more than 3 seconds, it means that an envelope is blocked at the height of the knife. The motors driving the knife and the transport rollers are then stopped and a jam is reported to the user.
- this pressure element comprises a screw, advantageously without head 58, passing through the support 44 and at the end of which is fixed a smooth pad 60, preferably made of PTFE to facilitate its sliding on the part fixed 50 of the device.
- FIG. 4B shows a pressing element formed of a ball-spring-screw assembly, the screw 62 acting on the ball 64 via the spring 66, the free displacement along the cutting axis P being here ensured simply by the rotation of the marble.
- the operation of the device is as follows. A pile of envelopes is first placed on the receiving plate 12 and pressed against the vertical transport wall 14 by the guide 16. The machine is then started, which has the effect of controlling the rotation of the first transport rollers 18 which will extract the envelope from the bottom of the stack and it alone because of the combined action of the selection device 20. Once the envelope has been extracted, the second transport rollers 24 and the pressure rollers 26 will take charge and bring it through the cutting device 22 or the rotary knife 34 will perform the cutting of this envelope slightly above its field in contact with the transport path. The inclination of the rotary support element towards this transport path, and therefore towards the receiving plate, will allow the envelope to remain constantly in contact with this path, thereby guaranteeing a perfectly parallel cut along the entire length of the path. the envelope.
- the envelope can be opened on one side so as not to generate flaps of paper because the knife-bearing distance is constantly maintained at the distance d chosen. Indeed, if this distance is too large, it will not open the envelope and if instead it is too small, it will cut on both sides and create the unwanted flap.
