Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of sorting mail items in bins in postal sorting centers.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a sorting facility of mail items comprising sorting outlets aligned along a sorting conveyor each provided with a housing for a tray in which sorted mail items are stored and a conveyor of bins extending beneath said sorting outlets for transporting the bins filled with mail items sorted from the sorting outlets to a feed inlet of the sorting conveyor.
  • this arrangement makes it possible to manually transfer bins by sorting operators who retrieve bins at arm's length from the sorting outlets to place them on the tray conveyor in the proper orientation.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to remedy the aforementioned problems.
  • the subject of the invention is a sorting installation for mailpieces comprising sorting outlets aligned along a sorting conveyor each provided with a housing for a container in which sorted mailpieces are stored, the sorting plant also comprising a bins conveyor which extends under said sorting outlets for transporting the bins filled with sorted mail items from the sorting outlets to a sorting conveyor feed inlet, characterized in that it comprises a shuttle manipulator robot for bins able to move along the conveyor of bins in front of the sorting outlets and to extract a tray from a housing of a sorting outlet which associated with it under the control of a control / command unit for transferring it to the conveyor of bins, said shuttle robot comprising a chute mechanically connected to the bins conveyor designed to transfer the tank extracted from the housing on the conveyor of bins by the effect of gravity and in that the bins conveyor comprises a swiveling outer edge between a retracted position allowing a transfer of the tray from the slide on the conveyor of bins and a raised
  • the idea underlying the invention consists here in remove the bin transfer operation by the sorting operators from the sorting outlets to the bin conveyor and use a simple, non-motorized system for injecting the bin onto the conveyor.
  • the idea is also to prevent any overflow or ejection bins during transport to the feed inlet while temporarily allowing the ferry transfer from the toboggan at any point of the ferry conveyor through the swivel bank.
  • FIG. 1 a sorting installation 1 according to the invention which comprises sorting outlets 2 aligned along a sorting conveyor 3 each with a housing 4 for a tray 5 in which sorted mail items 6 are stored.
  • a feed inlet 7 designed to put in series on the sorting conveyor 3 mail items 6 according to the conveying direction F1 to be then sorted in the sorting outlets 2 corresponding.
  • a conveyor of trays 8 is also provided under the sorting outlets 2 for conveying the trays 5 loaded with mail items 6 from the sorting outlets 2 to the feed inlet 7 in a conveying direction F2.
  • the shuttle robot 9 is mechanically connected to the tray conveyor by coupling to a guide rail 10 which extends in front of the conveyor of trays 8 over its entire length, as visible on the Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the shuttle robot 9 comprises a frame 11, here L-shaped with a plate 11a with wheels and a backrest 11b, on which is mounted a handling means 12 adapted to extract a tray from a housing of a sorting outlet and place it on the bins conveyor.
  • the handling means 12 comprises a motorized gripping head 13 which is telescopic and vertically movable to extract a tank 5 from the housing 4 of a sorting outlet 2.
  • the handling means also comprises a toboggan 14 for tank 5 which extends under the telescopic head 13 and whose lower end 14a is used to effect the coupling with the guide rail 10 slidably.
  • the slope of the slide 14 is thus chosen so that the tanks 5 slide by gravity on the conveyor of trays 8.
  • the slide 14 may also comprise rollers 15 mounted free to rotate in order to facilitate the sliding of the bins 5 and tolerate slower inclinations of the toboggan lower.
  • the telescopic gripping head 13 is also designed to deposit the tank 5 extracted from the housing 4 of the sorting outlet 2 on the slide 14 for its injection on the conveyor of trays 8.
  • the tray conveyor 8 also comprises a pivoting outer edge 16 which extends along the conveyor of bins on the coupling side of the shuttle robot 9, as visible on the figures 2 and 4a to 4c .
  • the bank 16 is here pivoting between a retracted position allowing a transfer of the tray 5 from the slide 14 on the tray conveyor 8, as shown in FIG. figure 4b , and a raised position, represented on the figure 2 , 4a and 4c , preventing other trays 5 conveyed on the conveyor of trays 8 from being ejected from the conveyor during their transport to the feed inlet 7.
  • the lower end 14a of the slide 14 arrives here at the foot of the pivoting outer edge 16 so that during the transfer of a tray 5 on the tray conveyor 8, the tray 5 pushes the pivoting outer edge 16 in the retracted position under the effect of gravity.
  • the swiveling outer bank 16 retracted is substantially flat on the tray conveyor 8 to allow the tray 5 to slide continuously from the slide 14 on the conveyor of bins 8, without modifying, or only negligibly, the inclination of the tray when passing on the pivoting outer edge 16.
  • the return force of the spring is here less than the force exerted by a tray when it is transferred to the container conveyor.
  • the pivoting outer edge 16 may also be segmented into pivotable sections 18 independently of each other under each sorting outlet.
  • the shuttle robot 9 is controlled by the control / control unit 19 so as to be placed both in front of a sorting outlet 2 and a bank segment 18, as shown in FIG. figure 4a .
  • the section segmentation 18 here makes it possible to authorize the pivoting of a section 18 of bank 16 in front of a sorting outlet which associated with it, while keeping the other sections in the raised position to prevent the ejection of bins 5 along ferry conveyors.
  • the conveyor of bins 8 of the sorting plant 1 according to the invention may also comprise straight motorized conveyor rollers 20, as shown in FIGS. Figures 4a to 4b this allows a use of the conveyor trays 8 in a bidirectional operating mode.
  • the bin conveyor 8 may have inclined motorized conveying rollers 21, as shown in FIG. figure 3 , which allows a use of the conveyor 8 in a monodirectional mode of operation.
  • a fixed edge 22 on the opposite side of the pivoting outer edge 16 makes it possible to keep the tanks 5 during their journey towards the feed inlet 7.
  • shuttle robots 9 may be used on the same guide rail 10 in order to accelerate the rate of extraction and injection of trays 5 on the conveyor of trays 8.
