Definitions
- the invention relates to a sorting system for flat mail, in particular for letters of different sizes and thicknesses.
- Such a device is e.g. made known by EP-C 0 708 691.
- a sorting device is described and illustrated therein, in which endlessly rotating sorting compartments pass through several sorting sections parallel to one another. Collection containers for the sorted mail are located in the output stations of the sorting routes. The sorting compartments are provided with movable flaps which can be opened in a controllable manner via the associated collecting containers, so that the mail can fall down into the collecting container.
- the invention has for its object to facilitate the sorting processes and to reduce the manual effort in the sorting system.
- the automated changing device eliminates the manual operating effort for changing containers in the 2
- Dispensing stations The design of the system-specific collection container can be optimally adapted to the sorting, changing and transport processes in the system, without having to pay particular attention to its external dimensions.
- the transport containers of the operators no longer need an inclined floor, so that the usable volume of such containers increases.
- the system-specific collection containers are reused immediately after emptying, which means that their total number remains small compared to the total number of transport containers.
- the decanting station according to claim 2 enables the automatic decanting of the mail into the transport container with the help of specific aids that are optimal to the
- Transfer conditions can be adjusted so that the mail can be handed over in an orderly manner.
- the transfer into the transport container can be carried out with little investment in equipment.
- the gripper according to claim 4 enables a simple design of the collecting container. It can be designed constructively and in its movements so that the mail can be inserted into the transport container with little interference.
- the collecting container according to claim 5 favors the gripper's access to the collected mail, the slot-like frankings open at the top allowing access from the outside.
- the bottom of the collecting container can in
- Cross section e.g. be formed like a comb, web-like elevations being formed between the depressions, on which the postal matter rests.
- Cross section e.g. be formed like a comb, web-like elevations being formed between the depressions, on which the postal matter rests.
- the tines and the gripping fingers form a stable framework for the postal item to be lifted out. This makes it possible to keep the tines and the gripping fingers relatively slim, so that the depressions and the channels are made correspondingly flat and the corresponding wall thicknesses can be kept correspondingly small.
- the handle elements can e.g. be arranged centrally on the end faces of the collection containers.
- the floor of the dropping movement of the mail is optimally adapted to the sorting bins.
- the mail item now slides against an edge and is held securely in this position.
- the angle of inclination of the floor can e.g. be up to 40 °, which makes the collection container correspondingly higher.
- FIG. 1 shows in perspective a collecting container, a gripper and a transport container in an filling station
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the collecting container according to FIG. 1 along the line II / II in FIG. 3,
- FIG. 3 shows a section through the collecting container along the line III / III in FIG.
- a box-like collecting container 1 which is open at the top, is on two opposite one another
- a longitudinal side wall 3 has vertical channels 3.
- the side wall is provided with slit-like openings 4 which are open at the top and which extend from the top to a bottom 5 of the
- the system-specific collection container can be inserted into an output station of a sorting system for letter-like flat mail and can be transported from there to a transfer station of the sorting system.
- the handling means 2 are used to change containers in and from the dispensing stations by means of a change device, not shown.
- the refilling station shown here in the peripheral area of the system has a movable, hand-like gripper 6, with the aid of which the postal matter can be removed from the collecting container 1 and filled into an empty transport container 7 provided nearby.
- the gripper 6 has, on the side of the frankings 4, foldable gripping fingers 8 which can be pushed through the frankings 4 and under the mail item located in the collecting container 1.
- the gripper 6 is provided with vertically standing flat tines, which in the
- Channels 3 of the opposite side wall can be pushed into the floor 5.
- the powered gripper fingers 5 8 can be moved to the lower ends of the tines 9 and hook with them. In this position, the gripper forms a stable support frame for the postal item 10 to be lifted out.
- the gripper 6 can now be moved over the adjacent transport container 7 and immersed in it until it touches down. Thereafter, the hooking is released at the ends of the gripper fingers 8 so that they swivel down again under the load of the postal item 10 when the gripper 6 is subsequently pulled out of the transport container 7 and release the inserted postal item without this becoming disordered.
