Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular application device of a feed station, according to the type specified in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a supply station is to be understood to mean a device within a mail processing system which is equipped for feeding mailpieces or flat goods to a printer device.
  • the invention makes it possible to simplify the feeding station, which is arranged post-upstream of a peripheral device (inserter, moistener / gunner station, dynamic scale) or a printer device.
  • the modular application device is required post-upstream of a non-abutment feed station and is suitable for use in a postage metering system in conjunction with a postage meter downstream of the feed station.
  • An attachment for the franking of mail items is from the German patent application DE 27 17 721 known.
  • a stack of mail pieces is inserted, which are stacked one above the other in any order.
  • the stack abuts the back of a guide wall of the feed station, so that the edges of the mailpieces on the front and back of the stack are aligned over each other.
  • the stack is at the beginning of a transport path and presses the bottom mail piece against a feed deck.
  • the lower postal item forms the beginning of the stack and should first be separated in the transport direction.
  • a wedge is applied to the stack from the left.
  • the surface of the wedge forms an inclined plane with an angle of inclination to the horizontal plane of the feed deck.
  • a device for separating flat objects of different thickness and size from a stack is known.
  • the device is subdivided essentially into an abutment area and into an ejection area, the latter being connected to the right in the transport direction to the abutment area.
  • the investment area is bounded to the left by a wedge-shaped stacking receptacle and to the right by a stacking stop.
  • a take-off device in the ejection region has a height-adjustable retaining means and ejection rollers.
  • a stack of flat items to be printed (mail items) presses the item of mail at the bottom in the contact area at the beginning of the transport path against the feed deck.
  • the contact force exerted by the weight of the upper mail pieces on the lowermost mail piece promotes singulation. Otherwise it can lead to disturbances when singling, if the contact pressure is too high or if despite a suitable stack height, the mail piece is insufficiently pressed against the feed deck. Such disturbances of the passage of the flat goods should be avoided or easily eliminated.
  • the Stiction therefore increases with the height of the stack, ie the farther the pressure bar is deflected, that is removed from the guide plate. The maximum holding force is achieved even before the pressure bar is deflected to the maximum.
  • the stiction is briefly overcome, so that the individual pieces of mail can be easily removed from the stack.
  • the loosening of the stack at a low stack height of the mail pieces of the same format is unnecessary.
  • a disadvantage is the expense of an actively acting device which requires a drive for pre-separation by drive rollers.
  • stacking is required when so-called mixed mail or misshapen or twisted mail pieces are contained in the stack.
  • a disadvantage is the uneven contact pressure during processing of the stack by separating the mail pieces, the contact pressure increases with the stack height.
  • an automatic feed station is used for stacks of mailpieces lying on the back.
  • the recommended maximum stack height is 50 mm.
  • a stiction may occur between the mailpieces, which in some cases prevents separation.
  • Per stack can be expected with 30 to 40 pieces of mail.
  • the mail pieces are, for example, enveloped letters with the envelope format C6 long and with an average weight of 20g each. This results in a total weight of 600g to 800g for a stack with maximum stack height.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a modular application device of a feed station, which acts passively.
  • the application device is intended to exert a contact pressure on the stack at the transition to the ejection region of the feed station, which acts independently of the length of the item to be separated (mail item), with the contact force decreasing with increasing stack height.
  • the Zukitstation should also allow a handset.
  • the modular applicator is stationed post upstream of the feed station to apply a stack of goods to be separated to the feed station, which singulates and transports the goods in a transport direction.
  • the feed station has for this purpose in a known manner a trigger device in the ejection area and a retaining means for the stack.
  • the trigger device consists of at least one driven ejection roller whose axis of rotation is arranged orthogonal to the transport direction.
  • a stack of flat goods to be printed presses the bottom material in the area of investment at the beginning of the transport path against a feed deck of the modular application device. With a high stack, a higher weight of the stack is generally to be assumed than with a lower stack. Rollers are provided in the feed deck to reduce frictional drag.
  • the modular application device has a separate housing and a pivotable mounted in a cavity of the housing near the rear wall of the modular application device pivotally mounted pressure element which exerts a contact force on the stack at the transition to the ejection area, the underlying good with such a force to the at least a driven ejection roller of the feed station is pressed so that a propulsion of the material is achieved, wherein the weight loss of the stack due to the withdrawal of the goods for separating the stack is counteracted by increasing the contact pressure.
  • the aforementioned force in the range from a minimum height of the stack to a maximum height of the stack can be almost independent of the stack height or at least in a predetermined force range.
  • the pressure element has an attachable to a pendulum carrier pendulum and a bearing shell, which is designed plugged into a cavity of the housing near the rear wall of the modular application device.
  • the pendulum carrier is mounted pivotably mounted on bearing shell.

  • One of the two pendulum arms is longer than the other and designed to depress the stack. Both pendulum arms are connected to each other via a central part connected and are anti-parallel to each other.
  • the pendulum is designed as a two-part pendulum body with a pendulum base and pendulum top and rocksteckbar. In the pendulum body it is possible to accommodate a material with a high specific weight. On the pendulum lower part on the side of the shorter pendulum arm, the pendulum can be plugged or firmly connected to the pendulum carrier.
  • the feed deck of the modular application device can be set up to a ramp.
  • the modular application device also has for aligning the stack mounted on the feed deck to the front of the housing extendable and subsequently pressed to the stack slide and a fixedly connected to the housing guide plate relative to the slider.

  • the housing consists of an upper shell and a lower shell, which is covered by the upper shell. In the upper shell, a slot-shaped opening is formed, which is covered by the slider.
  • the slider 16 is mounted on the feed deck together with a damping mechanism (not shown). By pressing some of the goods to be separated can be compressed, bent or compressed, but this is automatically reversed automatically after manual operation by the arranged inside the docking damping mechanism.
  • the modular abutment device also includes a docking mechanism (not shown) and another passive-action mechanism below the delivery deck to lock or release the supply deck erectable to a ramp at a desired angle (not visible).
  • the feeding station 2 in the transport direction (direction x) adjoins the modular application device 1.
  • the feed deck 21 of the feed station 2 has a width extending from the front to a rear stop in the y direction and lies parallel to the x / y plane, which forms a base surface. Perpendicular to the base, i. in the z-direction, the superstructures of the feeder station 2 pile up.
  • the mail piece width is determined by the widest piece of mail and the height of the superstructures is determined by the maximum height of a mailpiece that can just be separated and transported.
  • the constructions may include a container for closing fluid, a lobed flap humidifier and a closing device for envelopes.
  • the height of the feed deck 21 above the base is determined by the height of a transport device for mailpieces, not shown, built into the feed station.
