Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sorting sorting items provided with a delivery information with a circulating sorting conveyor according to a predeterminable determination path with a number of destination path pieces which are each subdivided into a number of determining sections, the determining sections having a number of successive destination positions.
  • a sorting device and a corresponding method with a circulating two feed points having sorting conveyor is from the document EP-A-0 072 310 known.
  • Sortiergut Cultures are used for sorting Sortiergut Cultureen after a predetermined determination path, such as the sequence of a mail delivery, sorting strategies in which not every bin a mailing address is assigned, but in which the order of the shipments within the sorting compartments belongs to the sorting result. For this, several sorting passes are usually required on a sorting conveyor.
  • the sorted items are transferred from a single feed point to receiving elements, which are moved along a circulating conveying path.
  • receiving elements which are moved along a circulating conveying path.
  • successively arranged sorting compartments which are used for example for two sorting cycles according to the sorting according to a destination.
  • the information set provided on the individual items to be sorted the meaning content of which corresponds in each case to an address (destination position)
  • the sorted item is retrieved from its receiving element as a function of the acquired information record whose forward transport is selectively delivered to the appropriate for this information set sorting.
  • the receiving element is moved back to the Zuierstelle after delivery of the Sortiergut Publishedes.
  • the sorting device is thus only insufficiently utilized.
  • An increase in capacity of the sorting device can only be achieved with an enlargement of the device, with a reduction in the width of the receiving elements or an increase in the speed of the circulating conveyor. Both an increase in the speed of the rotating conveyor as well as a reduction in the width of the receiving elements are limited.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method which makes it possible to achieve an increase in the sorting capacity.
  • the inventive method is described below using the example of a sorting conveyor for flat, provided with a delivery information Sortiergut publishede 2, in which the Sortiergut publishede 2 are sorted by a predetermined destination W in two sorting cycles.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a sorting process with two sorting cycles.
  • a predeterminable feed path designated as destination path W is subdivided into a number of destination path pieces W1, W2.
  • the determination path pieces W1, W2 are in turn divided into determination sections I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
  • Each determination section I, II, III, IV, V, VI has a number of successive destination positions A to E, which in the present case correspond to the delivery addresses on the sorted items 2. It is not a Sortiergut Culture 2 available for each determination position for each destination position A to E of the respective determination section I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
  • Sorting are shown only the destination positions A to E of the respective determination section I, II, III, IV, V, VI, for the sorted items 2 are present.
  • the sorted goods 2 are selectively delivered by the circulating sorting conveyor 16 to one of the sorting compartments 12 arranged sequentially along a sorting path and thus sorted in a two-step process according to the delivery route for a postman or parcel carrier.
  • the sorted goods 2 are sorted according to the destination positions A to E.
  • the Sortierguteriee 2 are pre-sorted already insofar that only for this Zustellweg W provided Sortierguteriee 2 are fed into the sorting conveyor 16.
  • Incorrectly sorted Sortierguterie 2 are sorted out in a suitable manner, be it already at one of the Zuurestellen 8.9 or after successful sorting. Thereafter, the Sortiergutspie 2 are removed from the sorting compartments 12 and returned to the Zu occasionstellen 8.9.
  • the sorted items 2 of the sorting compartments 12 of the first and second destination path pieces W1, W2 are each combined and transferred to the feed point 8 or 9, which is upstream of the respective destination path piece W1 or W2.
  • the sorting takes place according to the order of the delivery addresses in the respective determination sections I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
  • the Sortiergut Irishe 2 are removed from the sorting compartments 14 and are now sorted according to the destination positions A to E of their predetermined feed path W.
  • the Figures 2 and 3 show two variants of the inventive method using the example of the circulating sorting conveyor 16 with two Zuodorstellen 8.9.
  • the determination route W is divided into two destination route pieces W1, W2. Between the two feed points 8,9 sorting compartments 12 representing the destination paths W1, W2 are arranged.
  • the sorted goods 2 for the entire destination path W at the first and at the second feed point 8, 9 are fed into the circulating sorting conveyor 16.
  • the sorted goods 2 are conveyed to the sorting bins 12 in accordance with their destination positions A to E and their destination route W1, W2 independently of the destination section I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
  • the number of the sorting bins 12 corresponds to the maximum number of destination positions A to E within the determination sections I to III and IV to VI of a destination route W1 and W2, respectively.
  • the first sorting bin which is arranged after the Zujan 8, all sorting pieces 2, which form the first position in all determination sections I to III of the destination path piece W1. They are issued first for the respective determination section I, II, III.
  • the second sorting bin there are all the sorted items 2 constituting the second position in each of the determination sections I to III of the destination path W1, and outputted as the second, and so forth.
  • both the sorted goods 2 are transferred from the first feed point 8 to the sorting compartments 12 of the first determination path W1 and to the sorting compartments 12 of the second destination path W2.
  • a second sorting cycle the in FIG. 2
  • the items to be sorted 2 of the first destination path piece W1 and the sort items 2 of the second destination distance piece W2 are combined and conveyed to the feed point 8 or 9 upstream of the respective destination path piece W1, W2.
  • the sorting items 2 conveyed into the sorting compartments 12 in the first sorting cycle can thus be fed into the circulating sorting conveyor 16 again and now in the order of the destination positions A to E.
  • a number of sorting compartments 14 corresponding to the number of determination sections I to VI is required.
  • the Sortiergut Publishede 2 are now sorted according to their respective determination section I to VI and according to the destination path piece W1, W2 and are sorted for the courier according to his Zustellweg before.
  • the sorting belt pieces 2 are presorted so that sorting goods 2 provided for the first destination path W1 are fed only from the second feed point 9 only from the first feed point 8 and the sorting belt pieces 2 intended for the second destination path W2.
  • the sorting capacity of the sorting device is used comparatively optimally.
  • the variant shown can be compared to work with a lower sorting depth, ie the sorted pieces 2 must be pre-sorted only for the destination W and not for the individual determination Weg publishede W1, W2.
  • the Zu trendkapaztician a Zu Baystelle 8.9 is limited.
  • the feed rate of a feed point 8,9 and thus the sorting capacity of the sorting device can be increased by the use of multiple feeders 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, 10.4 at a feed point 8 or 9.
  • 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, 10.4 of a feed point 8 or 9 from a common sorting material stack 4 for a second sorting cycle can lead to a change in the order of the destination positions A to E sorted in the first sorting cycle.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b A combination of the in the Figures 2 and 3 shown variants is in the FIGS. 4a and 4b shown.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b show an application example of the inventive method of circulating sorting conveyor 16 with two feed points 8.9 each having two feeders 10.1,10.2 and 10.3,10.4, in which a destination W0 is divided into four determination path pieces W01, W02, W03, W04. Although the number of determination path pieces W01, W02, W03, W04 is twice as high as the number of feed points 8,9, it corresponds to the number of feeders 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4.
  • FIG. 4a is schematically a first sorting cycle and in FIG. 4b a second sorting cycle shown.
  • Each Feed conveyor 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 is assigned a destination route W01, W02, W03, M04.
  • the number of the sort bins 12 corresponds to at least the maximum number of destination positions A to E within the determination sections I to XII of a destination route W01, W02, W03, W04.
  • the sorted goods 2 After the first sorting pass, the sorted goods 2 thus conveyed to the sorting bins 12 of the respective destination path pieces W01, W02, W03, W04 are combined in the order of the destination positions A to E and conveyed to the corresponding feed conveyor 10.1, 10.10, 10.3, 10.4.
  • the sorted goods 2 are again fed into the circulating sorting conveyor 16 by the respective sorting material stack 4.1.4.2.4.3.4.4.
  • the Sortiergut Irishe 2 are sorted into a number of the determination sections I to XII corresponding number of sorting bins 14 according to their respective determination section I to XII.
  • the corresponding destination route W01 to W04 had already been determined by the corresponding sorting in the first sorting cycle.
  • a schematic representation of this second sorting cycle shows FIG. 4b ,
  • the determination section X has only two determination positions A and B, for example two adjoining multi-family dwellings.
  • the determination positions A to E of the determination section XI are five single-family homes located along the delivery route W. This classification is based on the experience that, statistically speaking, this distribution results in about the same amount of mail in each determination section.
