Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for transporting flat mail items according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- cover bands consisting of a lower and an upper belt.
- Such transport takes place in particular in dynamic memory paths in which the mailings are mechanically stored after the address scanning until the reading result is supplied by the reading electronics and a code corresponding to the reading result can be printed on the mailings.
- a multiple deflection of the shroud run is necessary in order to keep the space requirement low.
- the cover tape is usually guided over large drums, the cover tape running being deflected by 180 ° or 90 °.
- a problem that occurs when deflecting around large drums is that differential speeds occur between the upper and lower belt. These differential speeds between the belts lead to a gap offset in the conveyed items.
- the gap between the consignments should be kept as small as possible.
- One way to reduce the difference in speed between the lower and upper belt is e.g. the top band to keep the drum as short as possible. In terms of design, this can be achieved by using a larger number of drums and belts. However, this requires an increased space requirement and a higher installed drive power.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention in a meandering
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention in a helical
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the invention with a lead bridle.
- Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention in a meandering
- Fig. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention with a 90 °
- FIG. 1 shows a meandering storage section with two endless conveyor belts 10a and 10b.
- the conveyor belts 10a and 10b are guided so that a cover belt consisting of an upper belt and a lower belt is formed, between which the mailings are conveyed by friction .
- the cover tape run is deflected on the roller combinations 20-21 -22, 30-31 -32, 40-41 -42, 50-51 -52, 60-61 -62.
- the diameter of the main drum 20 is chosen such that damage-free conveyance between the drum and the upper belt 1 1 a is ensured.
- the lower belt 11b is guided over the secondary drums 21 and 22.
- the secondary drums 21 and 22 are arranged as close as possible to the drum 20, so that the mail items from the linear section 11 of the shroud are reliably transferred for further conveyance in the region of the drum 20.
- the drums 21 and 22 to each other and with respect to drum 20 are also arranged so that the lower belt 1 1 b and the upper belt 1 1 a or the lower belt 12a and the upper belt 12b are guided parallel to one another at such a small distance that the frictional Promotion of the shipments in the linear areas 1 1, 12 of the shroud run is secured. Due to the meandering arrangement of the storage section, successive sections 11b, 12a of the conveyor belt are alternately lower and upper belts.
- a shipment 100 is moved in the linear region of the cover band in the direction of the arrow to the drum combination 20, 21, 22.
- the item is transferred to the drum 20. It belongs to the specialist trade to dimension the rollers 20, 21 and 22 in radius and at a mutual distance such that that the consignment is safely handed over even for the shortest approved consignment.
- the front edge of the consignment is pushed into the contact area between the drum 20 and the upper belt 11a during the transfer and is then conveyed frictionally between the upper belt 11a and the drum 20 about the axis of rotation 20a.
- the front edge of the shipment is then conveyed into the area of the drum 22 between the lower belt 12a and upper belt 12b. There is then a promotion to the roller combinations 30-31 -32, 40-41 -42, 50-51 -52 and 60-61 -62 and then a transfer to the linear deck drain section 16.
- the endless conveyor belt 10a is over the drums 80, 81, 82 and 83 and the conveyor belt 10b over the drums 70 and 71.
- FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a device according to the invention for a helical storage section with a plurality of deflection devices.
- the cover tape run is also deflected here by 90 °.
- one of the conveyor belts is guided over the main drum 120 and the secondary drums 121, 122, 123.
- the conveyor belts 10a and 10b are also designed as endless belts here, although the return of the belts required for this is not shown in FIG. 2.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention with a guide fence as a guide for outgoing mail items from the main drum 620 to the secondary drum 630.
- the guide fence 610 is at an acute angle A to the upper belt 640, so that mail items conveyed around the drum 620 have a force component in them Obtain direction on the run of the upper belt 640.
- Groove-shaped recesses can preferably be arranged in the surface of the drum 620, into which the guide fence protrudes with its one end, so that there is a reliable guidance of mail items possibly adhering to the drum surface.
- guide fences can also be arranged above or below the end face of the drum, which also serve as a guide for items of mail which are guided around the drum.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention in a meandering storage section with two endless conveyor belts 300a and 300b.
- the conveyor belts 300a and 300b are guided in the linear sections between the drums in such a way that a shroud system consisting of shroud 310 and shroud 320 is formed.
- a short elastic strap 330 is placed around the main drum 340 and the secondary drum 341.
- the secondary drum 341 is arranged between the main drum 340 and the secondary drum 342 guiding the lower belt 310.
- the secondary Drums 341 and 342 are both arranged in the direction of the linearly extending section of the shroud 320, 310.
- the belt 330 in the area in which the upper belt 320 is tangential to the drum 340 and the secondary drum 341 provides guidance for outgoing mail items to the transfer point C of the cover tape 310, 320, since the mail items here between the upper belt 320 and the guide belt 330 are promoted. This is particularly advantageous for the conveyance of thin and unstable mail items that have warping or static charging. A differential speed in the area between A and B cannot be completely ruled out, but is accepted because of the advantages mentioned.
- the cover tape run is deflected by 90 °.
- the cover belt consists of the conveyor belts 410 and 420, the conveyor belt 410 being guided as a lower belt over the drums 450, 451 and 452.
- the conveyor belt 420 is guided over the main drum 440.
- the short belt 430 wraps around the main drum 440 and the secondary drum 441 and, analogously to FIG. 3, forms a guide AB for the outgoing mail items from the drum 440 to the secondary drum 452.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention with two main drums 540 and 540 '.
- the arrangement of two main drums 540, 540 ' makes it possible to choose any distance between the linear sections of the shrouds. As the distance increases, the disadvantage of the differential speed in the area between D and E becomes increasingly apparent.
- the upper belt 520 is guided over the drums 540 and 540 'and fed back over the drums 521 to 524.
- a secondary drum 541 is arranged between the main drum 540 and the secondary drum 542 deflecting the lower belt 510.
- the conveyor belts 510 and 520 run parallel to one another in a linear section and form a cover belt there.
- a short guide belt 530 wraps around the drums 540, 540 'and 541.
