Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for preparing a tour of the factor containing both letters and flat postal objects called "large format".
- Factor's tour preparation consists of grouping the folds of the tour by distribution point and placing the volumes to be distributed for each of these distribution points in the order of the tour. This treatment can be done manually or by using so-called “sequencing" machines that usually work in one or more passes (usually 2 or 3).
- the factors have become accustomed to preparing a single tour including both small letters and large objects. format.
- the preparation of this tour currently requires a lot of manipulation which increases the cost associated with the distribution which currently represents 2/3 of the total cost of processing a fold.
- FR-A-2 708 488 discloses a method (a machine with a bucket carousel for letters and "large format" objects.
- the invention also extends to a machine for preparing in a single pass a tour of the factor containing both letters and large format postal objects, characterized in that it comprises a bucket carousel having as many buckets as there are distribution points in the postman's tour, a conveyor arranged to serially convey the letters and large objects above the buckets of the bucket carousel, and referral means arranged to guide each letter or large object conveyor format to one of the cups of the carousel corresponding to the distribution point of the letter or the large format object, and a system for bundling the contents of the buckets above which are brought successively the buckets by a setting moving bucket carousel and in which each bucket is unloaded.
- the bundling is carried out in such a way that the bundles remain connected to each other in the order of the distribution points of the postman's tour.
- No bundle is of course generated for an empty distribution point, that is to say for a cup of the carousel containing no letter or large format object.
- Bagging with precutting between the consecutive bags is advantageous in that it makes it possible to increase very significantly the productivity of the factor because it contributes to the simplification of the transport of the tour once prepared and the simplification of the distribution of mail, the bags being separated from each other as the factor passes in front of the mailboxes.
- Figure 1 shows very schematically in top view, a machine for preparing a tour of a factor according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows very schematically a conveyor belt and roller forming part of the machine of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 very schematically shows the routing flaps of the conveyor of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 very schematically shows a bundling system forming part of the machine of FIG.
- the machine shown in Figure 1 allows to prepare in a single pass a tour of the factor containing both letters and large format objects.
- the machine comprises a destacker 1 adapted for the serialization of a stack of large format objects (commonly called "flats" in the technical literature) and a destacker 2 adapted for the serialization of a stack of letters that are objects of smaller size.
- the machine could have only one unstacker such as 2 if it was also suitable for both the serialization of large format objects and letters.
- the folds at the outlet of the unstackers 1 and 2 are conveyed in series by a conveyor 3 to be moved over the buckets of a carousel with buckets 4.
- the cups of the carousel are open on the top and have a bottom that can open .
- the bucket carousel 4 has as many buckets as there are distribution points in the postman's tour to prepare. Each bucket thus corresponds to a distribution point of the postman's turn and the successive buckets in the carousel correspond to the successive distribution points in the order of the postman's tour.
- the conveyor 3 must be arranged to be able to bring each fold to one of the cups of the carousel corresponding to the distribution point of the fold when the carousel is stopped.
- the machine also comprises a bundling system 5 which is arranged at a fixed location along the path of the buckets so that by setting the carousel 4 in motion, the buckets can be brought successively above the system 5. Once brought over system 5, the bucket is discharged from its contents into a receptacle for packaging. The unloading of the buckets is done continuously and synchronously with the operation of the packaging system 5 which is arranged to form a string of bags each containing the contents of a bucket. The successive sachets of the rosary thus correspond to the successive distribution points of the postman's tour.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the conveyor 3 which is a conveyor in which the plies such as letter L and large-format object P are conveyed flat between belts 8 and motorized rollers 9.
- Turning shutters 10 (here three-branched shutters) rotatably mounted on the conveyor rollers allow each fold to be oriented from the conveyor to one of the carousel cups.
- a switch flap 10 is shown in an open position in which it directs a letter L, moving in the direction D, inwardly of a bucket located vertically above the flap 10. From In general, there are as many switch flaps as buckets and they are distributed at regular intervals along the conveyor 3 in line with the cups of the carousel placed in a stop position.
- each switching flap 10 is disposed between two sets of adjacent rollers 9 spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the width of the upper opening of a cup of the carousel 4.
- a reading system 6 illustrated in FIG. 1 is mounted between the unstackers 1,2 and the conveyor 3 to automatically read on each serialized fold a bar code which is indicative of the point of distribution of the fold. This information is sent to a control system (not shown) for the selective control of the switch flaps 10 as the folds move on the conveyor 3 so that each fold whose distribution point has been recognized by the reading system is automatically oriented to the corresponding bucket.
- the cups of the carousel are kept inclined relative to the vertical by a special device and because they are all rotatably mounted at their upper part on a horizontal axis such as 11.
- a horizontal axis such as 11.
- This inclination of the buckets allows a storage of the folds by gravity without jamming in the cups.
- FIG 4 schematically illustrates the bundling system according to the invention.
- This system allows continuous bagging of the contents of the buckets.
- the bucket carousel is set in motion to successively bring each bucket above the system 5 where it is discharged by simply opening its bottom 19.
- the bottom 19 of the bucket can be open automatically.
- a cell 22 is arranged to detect the passage of the folds at the outlet of bucket G.
- the two sheet strips are unrolled downwards and the lateral edges of the two strips are brought closer together by means of pressure rollers 23, 24 movable in a direction perpendicular to the production direction of the chaplet of sachets.
- the two sheet strips are preferably two transparent plastic films, which can be welded edge to edge by heating rollers 23,24.
- the two sheet strips 17, 18 are cyclically unwound each time a full cup is moved to the unloading location so that a new bag forming a hopper is prepared. under the bottom of the current bucket G. If the cell 22 does not detect the passage of folds at the outlet of the current bucket G, a new bucket is presented at the unloading location but no unwinding is performed on the two sheet strips 17, 18.
- the cups can be discharged continuously and a string of sachets containing the contents of the cups is formed with the advantage that the successive bags of the string correspond to the successive distribution points of the postman's tour.
- a labeler 40 is arranged to affix labels to the bags 30,31,32 when they exit the packaging system 5.
- This labeler can be arranged to generate a label identifying the tour and a distribution point thereof and to affix this label on the corresponding bag produced at the outlet of the bundling system. It is conceivable that the string of sachets may be fractionated prior to dispensing by the factor if the bag at the top of each fraction carries a label with information on the tour and the point of distribution.
