Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for recording returns with a conveyor belt on which the occasional returns are stored, in which the returns with the conveyor belt by a first station for recognizing a marking of the Returns and then to a second station to attach another marker, which are in this second station is created.
  • a plant of a comparable type is, for example, out EP-A-0 645 322.
  • the objects are identified in a second station with a mark in the form of for humans provided legible characters so that they can be used again later can be found.
  • the objects in storage containers also provided with identifications accommodated.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that returns are due different criteria treated differently Need to become.
  • the object of the invention is to create a system, with the collection and further processing of the returns can be greatly simplified and accelerated.
  • the solution according to the invention is that the conveyor belt is divided into identifiable sections, facilities to assign the further marking to the section of the conveyor belt are provided on which the return and that means for directing the return to one corresponding to the information on the second marker Place are provided.
  • the sections can be identified by the fact that they are divided and numbered by lines.
  • a section can also be identified by the fact that it is separate is illuminated with light. The capture of which section it can also be done by electronic counting, Path or distance measurements and in other ways (e.g. Transponder).
  • the returns some of which are several in one Package will be sent back together first isolated and then placed individually on the conveyor belt.
  • This conveyor belt is divided into recognizable sections, a return is placed on each section so that their markings can be read from above the conveyor belt can.
  • the returns are then made using the conveyor belt through the first station to recognize the marking of the returns guided.
  • the marking is read and simultaneously also noted the section on which the return located.
  • the return becomes one led to the second station for making a further marking, which is created in this second station.
  • This is a re-identification of the return in particular the information contains the form in which the further processing takes place or where the return should go.
  • the individual Sections numbered consecutively on the conveyor belt, see above the next mark is given the same number, which allows the operator to mark this further to be attached to the correct return.
  • an automatic Attachment of the markings is conceivable, this becomes normally done by operators to take care of the returns of very different shapes are certainly the second Make a mark.
  • the identification must also be mentioned of the section can be read, which is also by optical Means or electronic means, e.g. B. attached to the section Transponders or microchips or the like happen can.
  • the second station with a printer is expedient for printing self-adhesive labels provided on the Returns can be attached. This allows it to be done very quickly and reliably place the additional mark on the return. It then only needs the identification (number) the self-adhesive label with the identification (number) of the Section of the conveyor belt are compared so that the Self-adhesive label is stuck to the correct return.
  • This process can still be facilitated and still be made safer that e.g. B. the moment that Self-adhesive label is removed from the printer that corresponding section of the conveyor belt briefly illuminated on which the return in question is located.
  • the conveyor belt can possibly run at a very high speed be moved so that a person is unable is to put the other markings on the returns.
  • the conveyor belt can possibly run at a very high speed be moved so that a person is unable is to put the other markings on the returns.
  • several second stations are arranged one behind the other.
  • the instruction, Printing a self-adhesive label alternates sent to the different stations.
  • the timing is so that the marking at that moment is printed where the corresponding section of the Conveyor belt is located at the corresponding second station. Appropriately, this becomes like at the moment Illuminated above, where the corresponding marking of the Printer is removed.
  • the devices for Recognize the marking in the first station facilities to recognize manually attached characters. It corresponds namely the experience that about 80% of customers return the goods, based on these goods the reason check why the goods have been returned.
  • the returned goods with the further marking After the returned goods with the further marking is provided, it is moved on the conveyor belt and according to the information on the second marker (and possibly also the first marker) to the right place, where they checked or z. B. again for the next one Sales process to be stored.
  • the system of the invention has a separation and feed station 1 in which the returns are taken from the parcels in which they were returned. In addition, if several returns have been returned in one package are isolated.
  • the returns 2 are then placed individually on a conveyor belt 3, which in the direction of Arrow 4 is moved.
  • the conveyor belt 3 has individual Sections 5 identified individually at the embodiment shown here by numbers 1, 2, 3, etc.
  • the returns 2 are placed on the conveyor belt 3 so that your mark, which you still have on the return, from can be read above the conveyor belt 3. This happens in a station 6, in which the markings of the returns be recognized.
  • the corresponding information will then to a computer, not shown, lines, etc.
  • Printer 7 passed to a second station 8, then in another mark is printed at exactly the right moment.
  • the right moment is the moment where the on the corresponding section 5 arranged return 2 itself moved through the second station 8.
  • the printer can e.g. B.
  • a self-adhesive label can be printed that identifies (Number) of the conveyor belt section 5, on the return 2 in question is located.
  • the operator 9 can then the self-adhesive label on the corresponding Attach return 2, which is then for further processing is moved further.
  • the second marker contains information about how to handle the return.
  • This Information can e.g. B. also consist in the fact that the first Mark could not be read, so the further Handling or treatment must be done by hand.
  • the attachment of the label 10 in the processing station 8 can still be facilitated by the fact that at the moment of removal the label 10 from the printer 7 of the relevant conveyor belt section is illuminated so that the operator 9 knows immediately which return the label should be attached to.
