Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for identifying stacking sections of mail sorted in sorting machines according to the distribution order.
- separation cards are used for the identification of the stack sections, which are higher than the broadcast spectrum to be processed and machinable.
- the invention specified in claims 1 and 8 has the object of characterizing portions of sorted sorting machine according to the distribution order mailing stacks, without the use of mitzusortierter separation cards.
- this is achieved by the automatic identification of the last or the first and last consignment of a stack section to be distinguished in the stack by an easily visible on the stack material, easily removable on adhesive, which is applied by means of an automatic sticker dispenser.
- the stickers can be applied as soon as the recipient addresses are read and the consignment has been assigned to the breakpoints of the distribution order in accordance with the corresponding sorting plan.
- the sticker dispenser is located in the sorting machine between the reading unit and the distributor and pushes the sticker on an agreed place of the read and selected according to the sorting plan consignment. In this process, the shipment is transported past the sticker dispenser and upon reaching the intended Aufbringeortes on the particular shipment is the pressing of the sticker during the Vorbeitransportes the sticker dispenser.
- the stack sections to be identified can advantageously consist of the items to be distributed by the individual deliverers and / or of the items that are allocated to the individual breakpoints.
- the printing of the characters advantageously takes place one after the other in the transport direction.
- the items to be sorted are placed edgewise on a material input 2, from where they are pushed by means of a holding device, not shown, to a separating device.
- the respective foremost consignment is withdrawn there from the stack and individually transported in the direction of the arrow, for example by means of a known Deckbanksystems.
- the respective shipment arrives at a reading unit 4, where the recipient address is read.
- the program goes through a more or less long letter train to give the reading unit 4 time for the reading process.
- the consignment is transported past an automatic sticker dispenser 3 and sorted into the units of the breakpoint numbers in 10 compartments of a sorting section 1.
- the assignment of the recipient addresses to the stops is carried out according to the loaded sorting plan.
- the composition of the stack to be sorted is not yet known at the beginning of this first run, some of the bins may overflow.
- the overflowing shipments are then sorted into an appropriately marked overflow compartment.
- the mail items are taken from the sorting compartments of the sorting unit section 1 and placed on the material input 2. It must be ensured that the order of the programs sorted into the compartments is strictly adhered to, whereby the programs from the overflow compartments are classified according to their assignment in the stack to the other programs of the overflowed compartment.
- the application of stickers 5 can take place by means of automatic label dispenser 3 from the next sorting pass.
- the stickers 5 are on the last consignment 7 of the stack to be marked or if necessary, additionally applied to the first batch of the stack, eg if only a certain section within the stack is to be marked.
- the application of the sticker 5 on the shipments takes place only in the last sorting.
- the stickers 5 are applied by the sticker dispenser 3 in the transport direction during the transport of the mail items 6,7 by means of a pressure roller so that the sticker 5 protrude upwards from the stack of mail.
- the stickers Since the broadcasts are of different sizes, as can be seen in FIG. 2, the stickers must always have the same position in the vertical direction and the same length. They have such position and length that the glue-provided part only on the areas that are covered by the smallest shipments, passes and on the adhesive 5 on the largest consignments 6 protrude. For the application process, the pinch roller is accelerated to a peripheral speed that corresponds to the transport speed of the shipment.
- the stickers can be printed with an additional printer or the stickers are multicolored, ie there are several sticker dispenser 3 are arranged in the sorting machine or the sticker 5 are applied at different locations in the transport direction on the broadcasts. This is achieved by changing the application timing from the leading edge of the mailpieces.
