Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system with carriages guided on at least one rail, which are equipped with a device for carrying hanging loads (piece goods), this carrying device comprising means for releasing and dropping the loads.
  • a key area of application for such conveyor systems for hanging general cargo is the conveying and processing of mail bags.
  • Another method of transporting mail bags that has long been used in practice is the use of circular conveyors.
  • the mail bags are hung in mail bag tongs fixedly arranged on the transport chain and conveyed to the predetermined drop point at a constant speed determined by the chain.
  • the discharge is also carried out with a runner arranged in this rail area, which actuates the release mechanism of the pliers.
  • the capacity of such devices is limited and is determined by the possible maximum speed of the chain conveyor.
  • the third type of mailing bag transport that has been tried and tested in practice is the transport with a power-and-free system.
  • the height limitation due to the structural environment is an additional disadvantage. It leads to the arrangement of a large number of elevators for long distances.
  • Another disadvantage is the release skid for the ejection process, which is fixed at the ejection point. If the undercarriage is not guided in a form-fitting manner with a towing device or if the end positions of both release parts are not reached properly, no release process takes place. Due to the mechanically fixed arrangement of the release skids in the route area, practically no, and certainly not a quick, change of the drop point can be achieved.
  • the object of the invention is to create a conveyor system which is intelligent with regard to the selection of the discharge points and which, in particular, enables the paths to be traveled by the running gear to be optimized.
  • the trolleys are designed as known individually and independently driven units in the manner of an electric monorail system and the release and release means of the carrying devices can be triggered by electrical pulses.
  • This structure of the conveyor system provides variable solutions to the above-mentioned task and elimination of the disadvantages of the prior art, which with regard to the The point of discharge of the loads carried by them are not tied to predetermined mechanical impulses and thus fixed points of the conveyor system which cause loads on the carrying device. Rather, it is possible to drive through the conveyor system with the trolleys at substantially higher speeds and, while maintaining them at the desired location, by triggering the impulse to trigger the carried load.
  • the drives can thus be optimally controlled with regard to their path, with existing memories being able to be bypassed as desired and possibly becoming superfluous. It is even possible that memories that are temporarily empty can be run through directly at such times.
  • the trolleys allow you to choose the shortest and most direct route from the loading area to the drop area. This path optimization enables a reduction in the total number of trolleys required in the conveyor system with the same conveyor capacity.
  • the conveyor system according to the invention is particularly advantageously suitable for mail sorting, which is why, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrying device can be designed in the form of postal bag tongs.
  • the carrying device can be designed in the form of postal bag tongs.
  • this area of application there is a significant organizational simplification and simplification due to the higher circulating and throughput capacity of the running gear, as the drop areas are reduced, reduced and several targets can be reached in several machining cycles. You can also store stretch with unsorted content, so-called “chaotic remaining storage", without time-consuming re-sorting or re-routing into the drop area.
  • the conveyor system is designed with a control current rail known per se, which can be divided into block sections from which the impulse is applied. Such block sections can be changed in their position with little effort.
  • the release and release means can be designed with an electrically driven adjusting element such as an electric motor, a lifting magnet or similar devices, which on the one hand ensure a reliable function of the overall system and on the other hand can be implemented with a relatively low design effort.
  • an electrically driven adjusting element such as an electric motor, a lifting magnet or similar devices
  • the release and dropping means are expediently equipped with a mechanically actuated safety device. This means that the release and release means are kept in a closed state at all times, provided that no impulse is applied.
  • the electrically driven adjusting element can preferably be coupled to a mechanical triggering device for the release and release means.
  • a conveyor system 1 designed according to the invention which is constructed on the principle of the electric monorail system, comprises a running and guide rail 11 with a control rail 12 arranged in its area and a plurality of undercarriages 2 provided as required. which are each individually and independently driven by a chassis motor 21 and are moved along the rail 11 by means of rollers and guide rollers.
  • Such undercarriages have a structure which is known per se, as is shown and described, for example, in DE-AS 18 08 210, so that no detailed description and representation is required here.
  • This undercarriage 2 receives its electrical drive energy as well as its control impulses from the control rail 12, which in turn are used with suitable ones Control devices, program-controlled computers, etc. is switched.
  • the undercarriage 2 is equipped with a carrying device 3 in the form of a mail bag tongs.
  • a carrying device 3 in the form of a mail bag tongs.
  • two or more trolleys can also be connected to one another via suitable cross members in order to jointly carry a carrying device 3.
  • the mail bag tongs 3 also have a structure known from the basic principle for carrying mail bags, as described in DE-PS 14 81 828 and DE-OS 17 56 274.
  • it comprises a pair of jaws, which is designed as a release and release means 4 and is shown in the right half of the drawing in the closed position, in the left half in the open position.
  • an electrically driven adjustment element 41 is provided on or in the pliers, which is acted upon by an electrical impulse from the control rail 12 and started.
  • the adjusting element can be an electric motor or a solenoid and holds a release device 43 when the load is suspended in a closed position in which the pliers are in the position shown in the right half.
  • a mechanically acting safety device 42 is additionally arranged in the postal bag pliers 3, which kill in the upper part of the pliers by means of a pin 42 supported spring 42.2 holds the release device 43 in its closed position. The force of this safety device can only be overcome by actuating the electric motor or lifting magnet of the adjusting element 41.
  • a feed area 1.1 is provided on a conveyor system 1 for an arbitrarily selectable number of trolleys 2, on which the trolleys are successively hung with mail bags in order to be conveyed via a sorting and storage area 1.2 to defined delivery points 1.3 .
  • the data of the mail bags posted in task area 1.1 in any order are stored in a computer.
  • the sorting and intermediate storage of the mail bags takes place in the sorting and storage area 1.2, provided that no direct passage to the delivery points 1.3 is possible, with the points provided in the conveyor system 1 via the control rail 12 with the help of the trolleys 2 according to the data can be switched.
  • the retrieval from the sorting and storage area 1.2 takes place in the same way.
  • the control rail 12 is divided in the delivery area 1.3 into block sections 12a, 12b ... 12f, via which the corresponding desired impulse application is controlled at the correct discharge point.
  • This makes it possible to feed the trolleys pre-sorted with regard to their dropping determination in the sorting and storage area 1.2 to the correct dropping point at 1.3. Possibly.
  • the control pulse for the adjusting element 41 for actuating the triggering device 43 can be programmed at an earlier point in time, for example immediately upon entering the desired block section, and then triggered at the correct discharge point.
  • the trolleys can thus be driven through the entire system at optimal speed, without requiring special braking when entering the discharge station 1.3.
  • a storage section 13 with unsorted content a so-called “chaotic residual storage” is provided for payloads that cannot be assigned to the sorting and storage device 1.2 and do not fit, for example, into a predetermined scheme, from which individual trolleys are called up at the desired time and a special processing point, for example, the drop point 12f located outside the normal drop points 12a to 12e.
