Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for filling and automatic removal of containers for sorted mail items according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the consignments are sorted according to their destinations (address) into sorting compartments arranged along a sorting route and referred to as sorting end points.
- a sorting compartment is filled with consignments in the course of the sorting operation, it must be emptied.
- the mail items are manually removed from the sorting compartment and placed in a container that is located on a holder. Each sorting compartment has such a container. For filling, the container is pulled out across the sorting line. As explained in DE 199 01 444 Cl and US 4,518,160, this can be done by means of telescopic extensions
- the filled container is lifted and placed, for example, on an opposite conveyor belt or on a shelf. This activity is physically demanding due to the weight of the filled containers.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for filling and automatic removal of containers for sorted shipments of a sorting device with stacked sorting end points, in which the removal of the full container takes place with little effort without physical effort while maintaining the possibility of manual filling of the container.
- each sorting end position there is a holding mechanism with a part which can be pulled out for loading with a container in the extended state on non-driven rollers.
- a controlled first pair of rollers can be driven.
- the fixed part of the holding mechanism is extended to the rear to accommodate a container in the buffer position behind the newly loaded and inserted container.
- at least two controlled and drivable second roller pairs which act independently of the first driven roller pair, are arranged.
- the contact surfaces of the drivable rollers are in the driven state above the contact surfaces of the non-drivable rollers of the extendable part.
- the storage and transport device is arranged along the sorting end points behind the fixed part of the holding mechanism.
- first and the second drivable roller pairs have a common drive and the first drivable roller pair with its support surface can be raised and lowered under the support surface of the rollers in a controlled manner via the support surfaces of the rollers.
- the first and the second drivable roller pairs can be driven independently of one another.
- the pull-out part of the holding device for receiving two containers is formed on rollers one behind the other and is half pull-out and the pull-out part is locked in the respective end position in the driven state of the first drivable roller pairs.
- the manual effort can be reduced by avoiding indefinite operating conditions'.
- the container or containers always have a defined position on the pull-out part of the holding mechanism, it is advantageous to store them on the non-driven rollers of the pull-out part of the holding mechanism inclined towards the front free end.
- the extendable part of the holding mechanism has a telescopic extension.
- the storage and transport device is advantageously designed as a controlled driven transport path.
- 1 to 4 show a schematic sectional illustration of a sorting device with a holding mechanism in different working phases.
- the device for filling and automatically transporting containers 4, 5, 6, 7 for mail items sorted in a sorting device 1 enables four container positions A, B, C, D.
- it consists of a holding mechanism with a part 9 which can be pulled out by means of telescopic rails and a fixed part.
- the pull-out part can accommodate two containers 4, 5, 6, 7 in succession, the pulling forward only to the extent that a container 4, 5, 6, 7 can be placed on the pull-out part 9.
- the containers 4, 5, 6, 7 are inclined toward the free end of the extendable part 9 on non-driven rollers 8, 13.
- the foremost roller 8.13 which cannot be driven, serves as a stop in each container resting position.
- the pull-out barem part 9 in the extended state, there is thus the possibility for the operator to push a filled container 4, 5, 6, 7 from the front position via the rollers 8, 13 into the rear position.
- the operator pushes the pull-out part 9 back, so that two containers are possibly under one end position.
- three pairs of rollers 10, 11, which can be driven in a controlled manner are rotatably mounted on the outside for receiving the containers 4, 5, 6, 7 and for removal to the rear on a discharging storage and transport device 12 designed as a roller conveyor.
- the contact surfaces of the rear two pairs of rollers 10 for the container 4, 5, 6, 7 in the rear rest position are located above the contact surfaces of the non-driven rollers 13 of the extendable part 9.
- the front pair of rollers 11 under the rear part of the container 4, 5,6,7 in the front rest position can be pivoted in the vertical direction in such a way that its bearing surfaces lie below or above the bearing surfaces of the non-driven rollers 8.
- FIG 1 A first figure.
- a full container 4 is located in container position A, ready for transfer to the transport and storage device 12. If the container position D is free for a corresponding time, i.e. after the container 6 has been transported away, the roller pairs 10 can be driven, controlled by a container management system, until the container 4 is safely transferred to the transport and storage device 12.
- FIG 2 The full container 4 is transported by the drivable roller pairs 10 connected by the container management system from the container position A to the now free container position D, from which the transport and storage device 12 then takes over the removal.
- the operator fills the empty or partially filled container 5 with mail items from the lower sorting end 3 to be emptied. If the container 5 is only partially filled after filling, the operator pulls the pull-out part 9 with the partially filled container 5 from the container position C back into the container position B and, when the emptying end 3 needs to be emptied again, pulls it out and refills it. If the container 5 is ready for removal after filling, this is acknowledged by the operator. As a result, the drive of the drivable roller pairs 10, 11 is switched on by the container management system and the foremost roller pair 11 is activated by a drive, e.g. a solenoid, pushed up.
- a drive e.g. a solenoid
- the operator pushes the pull-out part 9 of the holding mechanism with the container 7 from the container position C to the container position B.
