Description

Email processing method and processing system for mails

The present invention relates to a kind of improved mail system, particularly a kind of system that handles postal matter automatically is suitable for postal the use.

Existing postal service handles postal matter by manpower, and it is time-consuming to require great effort, and mail is many, and shape is disorderly and unsystematic, expense and random having caused slowly, takes, become disorderly, slowly outstanding contradiction.Past attempts adopts the Arabic numerals coding as the postal address sign indicating number, and by the machine processing mail, the various signs of mail comprise that address, stamp, character sign etc. all adopt Word message to represent its content, and numeral also is a Word message.The machine recognition Word message belongs to figure identification, and difficulty is big, and structure is also complicated, nonstandard fault rate and the error rate height that more causes machine recognition of font.

Task of the present invention is that a kind of processing system for mails will be provided, and is intended to solve the above-mentioned contradiction that exists in the existing postal service, accelerates the mail circulation.

Task of the present invention is considered like this and finished: people know, machine is the most accurate, the most reliable to the identification of binary message, structure is also simple, so the various mail signs that we at first tackle on the mail (comprise address, stamp, leader will, character sign etc., and the character sign comprises ordinary mail, aviation, registers, registered with A.R, express delivery ... Deng) carry out the processing of binary message, make the mail sign with binary message, and utilize binary message to encode to represent the content of mail sign.Mail is collected and sends into behind the e-mail auto-processing equipment by step-by-step processing: 1. machine automatically will mail at random be dredged the queuing transmissions-machine of the embarking on journey transmission of lining up.2. machine picks up the binary-coded information on the inspection mail sign, send decoder for decoding after the various marking signals of output-machine know sign indicating number.3. the mechanism for sorting of address signal and character marking signal control machine is sent to the mail letter sorting point set dress as ready-machine sort accordingly automatically.

With five sign indicating number positions (is five-bit code, surplus with) binary message can work out 32 address codes (00000～11111), can be used as the address code of main big city and province, then can work out the address code of 256 address codes as each postal district of city (or each county) inside the province with the binary message of eight sign indicating number positions, synthetic 13 bit codes of above-mentioned 13 sign indicating number hytes there are 8192 kinds of codings, can represent 8192 address codes, this paper is called 8192 bar codes, each bar code is represented an address (postal district, certain city), adopt the bar code of what yard positions to decide on postal actual needs.

The binary message of magnetic notion (being magnetic signal) (signal that is magnetic is 1, and nonmagnetic signal is 0) is the wherein a kind of of binary message.On substrate, enclose magnetic material; enclose a very thin protective layer again in case magnetic material comes off; utilizing magnetic head that magnetic material is magnetized (typing signal) makes it have the 1(1 sign indicating number that magnetic signal just can be represented binary message); otherwise, utilize magnetic head that magnetic material is carried out demagnetization and make its nonmagnetic signal just represent the 0(0 sign indicating number of binary message).Utilize magnetic head also can whether have magnetic signal (1 yard or 0 yard) by Shi Inspection magnetic material.Fig. 1 is the bar code schematic diagram of several yards position.Fig. 2 be A-A to cutaway view, (1) is substrate, (2) are magnetic materials, (3) are protective layer.Each yard position order is interdependent on the bar code, but each yard position (comprising substrate, magnetic material, protective layer) all can tear off separately, can tear it down each individual stamp separately in the new stamp that at several is a row.Make the whole yards bit strips signal that is magnetic promptly be 1 yard (111 full bar code magnetization (typing signal) ... 11), this paper is called former bar code.Former bar code is attached on the normal place of mail.It is very simple to make address code, is 1001110011011 such as the postal geocoding of distinguishing of A city B, and the sender is the 2nd; 3,7,8; 11 positions such as sign indicating number such as grade (substrate, magnetic material, the protective layer that comprise this yard position) tear off and get final product; this moment the 2nd, 3,7; 8; 11 positions such as sign indicating number such as grade (in order to adapt to people's custom, several from left to right) become the blank of non-magnetic material, can say with regard to nonmagnetic signal; be on the bar code the 2nd; 3,7,8; 11 positions such as sign indicating number such as grade are 0 yard; the address code that has realized B postal region, A city is 1001110011011, and this paper is called and decides bar code, and it represents a specific address.Above-mentioned bar code is general term, former bar code and decide bar code and all belong to bar code.Mail is sent to machine when knowing the sign indicating number part, and magnetic head is being decided bar code Shang Shi Inspection binary-coded information, send OPADD signal after the decoder for decoding.If consider that little local mail is few, can establish e-mail auto-processing equipment, establish this equipment in provincial and main big city earlier, postcode is only compiled postal service district (or county of the province) level in city, little address is write out with literal, for example: No. two old seamounts of second floor in Lane three, 1001110011011 Zhongshan Roads.Promptly a full address divides two parts, and forward part binary message coding is known sign indicating number by machine, and the rear section Word message is discerned by the people.Also can adopt the binary message coded representation in whole address, the sender only writes addressee's name, not in order to the literal write address, machine is known sign indicating number back OPADD signal, this signal driving device prints better address with written form automatically on mail is sought unity of standard position (6) (see figure 3), the address text normalisation that prints is convenient to Postal Clerk's identification.The sign indicating number position of doing bar code like this is more, but it is unchallenged that machine is known sign indicating number, but makes the mail circulation fast, and the mail of posting Beijing unit (BB) such as Guangdong is many, the e-mail auto-processing equipment in Guangzhou can be loaded on the mail of BB unit in the mail transport case after the mail treatment letter sorting is concentrated.After arriving Beijing, postal service can directly be sent to BB unit with this mail transport case, do not need to handle again through Beijing e-mail auto-processing equipment to have sorted, this not only makes the mail circulation of BB unit fast again, and it is faster that the processing quantity that has also reduced mail gets other mail treatments.Sender's address (5) (see figure 3) can take same method to handle.Which rank geocoding compiles is determined by postal service.

In general, magnetic signal on the former bar code can keep for a long time, but also can adopt the way of " teaching what one has just learned " to handle, be that magnetic head Zai Shi Inspection decides before the binary message of bar code, no matter decide on the bar code each yard position signal that whether was magnetic originally, once magnetize without exception earlier deciding on the bar code all yards position, make the sign indicating number position of every magnetic material all be geomagnetic into 1 yard, and the sign indicating number position nothing magnetization that is torn off magnetic material can be sayed, it is 0 yard, Cai Shi Inspection decides the binary message on the bar code then, it is the same doing with the said method result like this, this method has illustrated its content of binary message coded representation of the above-mentioned both available magnetic notion of mail sign, and also the binary message of working substance notion (being magnetic material) (magnetic material is 1, and non-magnetic material is 0) coding is represented its content.Fig. 4 is the stamp schematic diagram, except existing pattern and literal (oblique line part), can in position establish five sign indicating number positions (12), (13), (14), (15), (16).Alignment code (12) only plays the role of positioning, and is actually four bit codes, and 16 kinds of codings are arranged, and can represent 2,4,6, the 8(branch), 1,2,3,4, the 5(angle), 1,2,3,4,5(unit) ... etc. the face value of postage stamp.If only enclose magnetic material in the 4th sign indicating number position (16), just become coding 0001, can represent first kind of face amount (two minutes) of stamp.If enclose magnetic material in second sign indicating number position (14) and the 3rd sign indicating number position (15), just become coding 0110, can represent the 6th kind of face value of postage stamp (two jiaos) ... the rest may be inferred by analogy.In like manner, the character sign except existing pattern and character, the binary message codified of establishing the material concept of three sign indicating number positions represent eight kinds of different character signs (for example 001 expression aviation, 010 expression is registered ...).If the postal service development also needs other mail signs also can adopt two kinds of above-mentioned methods to handle, adopt the binary message of material concept to handle with the way of " teaching what one has just learned ".

Standardization: handle postal matter automatically for the ease of machine, take this paper to be called standardized means: former bar code, stamp, character sign etc. will adopt the unified standard magnetic material and the processing method of (postal service is unified, and is surplus same).Some kinds of specifications of unified standard are adopted in the packaging bag (case) of envelope (mail packing) and printed matter, and existing scroll printed matter can adopt garden tubular standard pack tube.Parcel and other mails can not adopt rambling existing packing, and should adopt the packing case of some kinds of specifications of unified standard, help machine like this and handle automatically.Various e-mail packages (comprise envelope, packaging bag, packing case, surplus with) position of will seeking unity of standard pastes mail signs such as former bar code, stamp, character sign, Fig. 3 is the mail front schematic view, and former bar code (4), sender address (5), address of the addressee (6), stamp (7), character sign (8), leader will (9) etc. respectively have its normal place.In order to accelerate the mail turnover, be beneficial to the mail transportation, adopt the mail transport case of some kinds of specifications of unified standard.Packing case, transport case can adopt the plastics manufacturing, carries out and reclaims turnover, repeats repeatedly to use, and can accomplish to be lower than existing packing charges.Envelope, packaging bag should be unified to produce and stick former bar code and just dispatched from the factory and sell to well, should stick new former bar code by the Postal Clerk after packing case reclaims just sells to well, can guarantee former barcode position standard like this, be beneficial to machine and know sign indicating number, also make things convenient for the sender.

Containerization: in order to accelerate the mail turnover, be beneficial to transportation, adopt this paper to be called the method for containerization: the one, turn parts into the whole, scattered little mail boxing.The 2nd, it is big changing little, and little case is adorned big case.The 3rd, reasonability, science are wanted in vanning.Mail is after machine processing letter sorting is concentrated, and scattered all should reasonably pack into packing case or transport cases such as mail, printed matter, parcel and other mails are also adorned the big case principle transport case of packing into by little case.Various packing cases and transport case divide case from small to large No. 1, No. 2 casees, and No. 3 casees ... make several No. 1 case just fill No. 2 casees (consideration shockproof sheet), several No. 2 casees are just filled case again No. 3 ... transport case will be suitable for carrying, is suitable for transportation again, accomplishes reasonability, science.

Standardization and containerization expand to mail conveying arrangement aspect and just are more conducive to the mail circulation, be some postal business car such as Fig. 5, it is the same with existing train railway carriage profile, size, pulled by train as a joint compartment, in business car, laterally be divided into the cabin [17] of plurality of cuboid shape standard specification, guide rail is arranged in the cabin.Make the mail cabinet of the standard specification of some cuboids in addition again, Fig. 6 is a mail cabinet schematic diagram, the width of cabinet is slightly less than the width in business car cabin, just deposit two row's expanded mail transport cases (18), the length of cabinet is slightly smaller than the degree of depth in cabin, (as the direction of arrow) is put into and taken out to the mail transport case from mail cabinet both sides respectively, can put into or take out any transport case easily separately, and the mail cabinet can be fit to pack in the cabin of business car.The drawer of desk on the railway platform, the mail cabinet directly can be pushed in the cabin at the train station, also the mail cabinet can be pulled out, as if can pull out, push equally by Aided Machine.Local postal service will mail to the mail transport case mail cabinet of packing in other places, the mail cabinet is drawn on the railway platform of railway station, when the train of passing by on one's way stops, pull out by the cabin of the very fast mail cabinet of the other places being mailed our station of Aided Machine from business car, and then the mail cabinet that will mail to the other places is pushed the cabin, also faster than falling on the passenger, require this Aided Machine to be designed to push away on the one hand, draw the mail cabinet to advance, go out the cabin of business car, the aspect is dynamic in addition, draw container as existing automobile, Aided Machine is and then hauled postal service after the mail cabinet in the cabin is pulled out, and has so just accelerated the circulation of mail.Mail transport case, mail cabinet, business car, Aided Machine etc. belong to the special-purpose conveying arrangement of mail, all meet the requirement of standardization and containerization.

Fig. 8 is the block schematic diagram (Figure of abstract) of e-mail auto-processing equipment, divides I, II, III three parts.I is that queuing transmits, and it comprises dredges line-up device and forward install.The mail of collecting at random is sent into and is dredged line-up device, and this device is dredged the queuing of embarking on journey to mail and transmitted.And forward device is to utilize the different characteristics of length and width size of mail (rectangle or cuboid) that mail is made in order, and it is forward transmitted, and is forward transmission when long limit (11) (see figure 3) of mail among Fig. 9 (22) and b line parallel.The principle and the mechanism of I part can be with reference to existing automatic production lines.II partly is that machine is known sign indicating number, and it comprises state adjusting device, ten yards devices of magnetic head, decoder, postmark device etc., and mail has four kinds of uncertain states when forward being sent to the state adjusting device.Fig. 9 is a state adjusting device principle schematic, and mail (22) decide mail sign such as bar code when transmitting be positive surface state up, is the reverse side state down.And the positive and negative state all has two kinds of uncertain states, and leader will (9) is preceding, and deciding bar code (4) is forward condition when the back, otherwise is reverse state.Leader will (9) is 1 yard, does state recognition and uses.Mail (22) forward transmits the connecting gear (19) of the adjusting device that gets the hang of and transmits along the direction of arrow, we can make the long limit (11) of mail (22) and b line neat, when mail (22) is sent to its minor face (10) (see figure 3) and a line when neat, the binary message of mail Bing Shi Inspection leader will (9) is shifted in identification magnetic head (20), (21) along the direction of arrow.(Inspection to 1 yard of 20 〕 Shi illustrate that mail is positive forward condition, can directly mail be sent to ten yards devices of magnetic head as if magnetic head.If Inspection to 0 yard of magnetic head (20), (21) Jun Shi illustrate that mail is in the reverse side state, machine with the anti-face of mail, repeats above-mentioned steps automatically again.If this moment magnetic head (Inspection to 0 yard of 20 〕 Shi, magnetic head (Inspection to 1 yard of 21 〕 Shi, machine with anti-of mail to.Through above-mentioned several steps, machine just can be adjusted to mail positive forward condition and send to ten yards devices of magnetic head.The position of magnetic head (21) can be regulated automatically with the length of mail.The magnetic head difference Shi Inspection of ten yards devices decides the binary message coding on the mail signs such as bar code, stamp, character sign, send several corresponding decoders, export various mail marking signals (address signal, face value of postage stamp signal, character marking signal) after the decoding respectively, face value of postage stamp signal is sent into the count comparator of postmark device, differentiate the postage situation of mail, cover postmark during the postage foot automatically.Address signal driven machine on the one hand upward prints better address with literal at addresses of items of mail (6) automatically.Then, address signal is sent into the III part simultaneously with the character marking signal again, this part comprises letter sorting of character sign and address letter sorting, the character marking signal drive the character sorting equipment partly by mail character (ordinary mail, aviation, register, registered with A.R ...) the letter sorting transmission, address signal then drives the address sorting equipment and is sent to point set dress as ready accordingly by the address letter sorting.

Mail for interior dress magnetisable material, because the big magnetic of its magnetisable material amount is strong, magnetic head do not press close to the mail sign just Ke Shi Inspection to magnetic, and a little less than the few magnetic of the amount of magnetic material on the mail sign, magnetic head will be pressed close to mail sign ability Shi Inspection to magnetic signal, utilizes these characteristics just can sort out the mail of interior dress magnetisable material.

E-mail auto-processing equipment adds that the method for standardization and containerization constitutes processing system for mails, after this system implements, can significantly reduce the labour who handles postal matter, Guangzhou is posted Pekinese's airmail and is arrived in the addressee staff in can one day, and generally parcel and mail can arrive in the addressee staff in three days.
