Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for reloading flat mail items stacked with the flat sides from a first box-shaped container into a second box-shaped container which is open at the top.
  • the first container is to be opened laterally and is designed in such a way that it at least partially fits into the second container with the side to be opened that is directed toward the bottom of the second container.
  • the filled first container is moved by means of appropriate devices in such a way that at the end of the movement it is inserted into the bottom of the second container with the side to be opened in the direction of the bottom.
  • the stack of mail items is secured or the first container is moved in a position-oriented manner so that the mail items remain in the first container.
  • the side wall of the first container is opened, the items slide onto the bottom of the first container and the first container is removed from the second container.
  • a pivoting movement of 90 ° is carried out only with the first container. Since, according to claim 2, the first container is open at the top, this opening must be closed during the pivoting movement so that the mail items remain in the container. According to claim 3, the shipments are only loaded and unloaded through the side opening in the container, so that an additional locking mechanism is not necessary.
  • the first container is also open at the top, but there is no additional closing during the pivoting movement.
  • the empty second container is first pivoted to the first container by approximately 90 ° and placed over the side of the first container.
  • the side of the first container to be opened is directed towards the bottom of the second container.
  • the two containers are then pivoted together into the starting position of the second container, so that the mail items are prevented from falling out of the first container.
  • the side flap After opening the side flap, the items slide into the second container in a standing position. Then the first container is returned swivels and the side opening is closed again.
  • the filled second containers are pivoted by means of a third holding and swiveling device into an unloading position and in the empty state back into the second holding and swiveling device or into the holding device.
  • the containers are so inclined in the holding and pivoting devices that the stacks of mail items are always aligned towards one corner.
  • FIG. 8 to 10 successive phases of the automatic transfer process with the first container open at the top and pivoting movements of only the first container
  • a first one located in a first holding and pivoting device 7 is fener box-shaped container 1 filled with lying items. Furthermore, there is a second holding and swiveling device 4 for receiving a second box-shaped container 2 open at the top, wherein both holding and swiveling devices 4, 7 have a common axis of rotation.
  • the second, still open, still empty container 2 is shown in FIG 1 in a third pivoting and holding device, consisting of a container receptacle 5 and a pivotable rod 3, both releasably connected to one another via a joint 6 in such a position that it unloads comfortably can be.
  • a third pivoting and holding device consisting of a container receptacle 5 and a pivotable rod 3, both releasably connected to one another via a joint 6 in such a position that it unloads comfortably can be.
  • the containers 1, 2 are mounted obliquely so that the stack of mail items are aligned.
  • the arrow on the rod 3 indicates that in the first phase the empty second container 2 is pivoted in an arc such that the container receptacle 5 is locked with the container 2 in the second holding and pivoting device 4, as shown in FIG .
  • the connection between the container receptacle 5 and the joint 6 is released.
  • the second holding and pivoting device 4 with the container 2 is then pivoted to the right such that the first container 1 projects into the second container 2, i.e. the second container 2 is placed over the first container 1.
  • the left, openable side of the first container 1 is directed towards the bottom of the second container 2.
  • the two containers 1, 2 are dimensioned and the swiveling movements are carried out so that the containers 1, 2 do not collide with one another (FIG. 3).
  • This opening can be triggered by locally fixed actuating elements and actuating elements on the flap shortly before the end of the pivoting-back movement.
  • the container holder 5 is unlocked by the second holding and pivoting device 4, the rod 1 is connected to the container holder 5 by locking the joint 6 and the third holding and pivoting device swivels the filled second container 2 into the unloading position.
  • 1 new items are stacked horizontally in the first container (FIG. 7).
  • first container 1 In a further embodiment variant according to FIGS. 8-10, only the first container 1, open at the top, with the first holding and pivoting device 7 pivoted.
  • the second container 2 is detachably held in a non-pivotable holding device 10. So that the additional pivoting of the second container 2 to prevent the mail items from falling out of the first container 1 can be dispensed with, the first container 1 must be closed during the pivoting. This is done with the aid of a locking device of the first holding and swiveling device 7. In this case, a movable lid 9 is swiveled over the upper container opening. The other processes take place as in the example described at the beginning. If a container 1 which is closed at the top and can be opened at the side is used (loading takes place via the side opening), the closure device of the first holding and pivoting device can be dispensed with.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, des envois plats superposés sur leurs côtés plats dans un premier contenant sont transférés dans un deuxième contenant ouvert vers le haut, qui se trouve dans une position verticale. A cet effet, les deux contenants sont dimensionnés, maintenus et déplacés de sorte que le premier contenant vienne se loger dans le deuxième contenant et de sorte qu'un côté à ouvrir du premier contenant soit dirigé vers le fond du deuxième contenant. Le premier contenant est déplacé et/ou les envois sont maintenus lors du déplacement dans le premier contenant de sorte que les envois restent dans le premier contenant. La paroi latérale à ouvrir du premier contenant qui se loge dans le deuxième contenant est ouverte lorsque les envois se trouvent dans une position verticale. Le premier contenant est ensuite retiré du deuxième contenant.
