Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for sorting flat items according to the preambles of claims 1 and 7.
  • the shipments are trapped at high speeds and small distances between each other between endless guide belts of a shroud system transported by a singulator to downstream modules, where they are read, processed and sorted.
  • the programs in the shroud system which is interrupted by switches, tape separation points, etc.
  • the programs due to different physical properties, such as friction coefficients, thickness, bending stiffness, different from the transport and thus depending on the sequence of mail move relative to each other the gaps change.
  • the gaps between the transmissions are then individually varied within the possibilities so that the excessively small gaps are increased to the minimum value at the expense of the subsequent larger gaps by slowing down the relevant transmission.
  • the sorting end points into two successively arranged segments and to vary the gaps individually as a function of the transport length to the segments.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and apparatus for sorting flat shipments, which can be increased without increasing the transport speed throughput sorting.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claims 1 and 7.
  • the basic idea for the increase in throughput is, from the transmission current generated in the separating device with a uniform target gap, which is smaller than the required for the sorting end points at the machine end minimum gaps (gap for safe removal in the switches plus the maximum shift) and in the assignment of the read Destination addresses to the sorting end points is known to produce by means of a controllable gap changing device a broadcast stream with gaps between the broadcasts in dependence on the transport length to the associated sorting end of the respective program.
  • the gap created in the singulator must be reduced, and for shipments having destination addresses whose associated sorting end points are in the rear of the sorting end area, the gap created in the singulator must be increased.
  • the gap to be matched between each two broadcasts of different destination address corresponds to the gap for the program with the respective shorter transport length to the assigned sorting point, since after the discharge of this shipment in their Zielendstelle for front or subsequent broadcasting a large gap is created, whereby the average target gap of the singulator is smaller than the gap between the shipments to be sorted in the sorting sites with the longest transport routes.
  • the input variable for the gap adjustment is the gap required for the proper functioning of the points plus the displacement of the items relative to one another from the measured values as a function of the path length in the transport and points route.
  • the sorting end points can advantageously be combined to form segments and the statistical elevations can be carried out as a function of the largest transport lengths to the sorting end points of the respective segments.
  • the transmission current in the transport and switch route via one or more switches for very small minimum gaps on two or more transport and switch strands split with successively arranged sorting endpoints. This reduces the possible gap shift and thus the number of shipments to be rejected.
  • sorting plans such that the sorting end points for the heavily frequented destination addresses are located at the beginning of the transport and route route.
  • the gap changing device advantageously consists of two transport units in which the items are transported in a clamped manner, a first transport unit, which does not obstruct the transport of the items in the second transport unit, being arranged in front of the second transport unit with controllable speed.
  • the transport and switch route 2 is divided with the sorting 1 in two paths X and Y. As a result, the length of the transport and switch route 2 is reduced by half, so that the possible gap displacements are reduced.
  • the programs leave a separating device, not shown, with a certain gap and arrive via a reading device, also not shown, to a transport section 8 with a bypass of a gap changing device 4 as an abbreviation 9 with respect to the normal transport path 10.
  • the division into the different ways (to be forwarded programs are headed into the abbreviation) by means of a switch 11.
  • two controlled drivable transport units 6,7, an acceleration and Abbremsech 5 in which the shipments are transported clamped.
  • the first transportation unit 6, which does not obstruct the transport of the mail items in the second transport unit 7, is arranged, with which the mail items can be selectively moved in the mail flow (only to a slight extent to the front, unlimited to the rear). More details are DE 197 53 419 C1 refer to.
  • the programs are divided by means of a high-performance switch 3 for very small minimum gaps on the two transport and switch strands 2 according to the read target addresses and sorted into the associated sorting 1. In each case two adjacent terminals are combined to form a segment.
  • FIG 2 a gap shifting process is shown, with a shift forward can be done only slightly with V before, max .
  • the top row shows the incoming shipments with the corresponding shipment gaps.
  • the foremost consignment must be routed to the last sorting end segment L xm and all the following following consignments to the last sorting end segment L yn of the other transport and branch line Y according to its destination address. Since the so-called input gaps l A of the incoming shipments are smaller than the gaps required for the last segment and the previously determined in test runs, the items of mail need to be moved for magnification-fication of the gaps.
  • the lower row the relative position of the items to each other after the shift is shown.
  • the gap variation of the incoming transmissions is shown as in FIG. 2 using the abbreviation to increase the maximum displacement to the front.
  • the displacement possibilities can be fully utilized, ie the first transmission for the sorting end segment L yn is pushed so far forward that the gap for actuating the high-performance diverter 3 is just sufficient.
  • the arrows in the letter direction show the movement of the programs by the fixed amount by the abbreviation distance forward
  • the series of programs below indicates the subsequent shift of these transported via the abbreviations broadcasts to the rear, so that as a result, the transmission current shown below gives the required gaps.
  • a shipment discharge into a reject terminal must take place later, ie not as frequently.
  • the gap changing device Since the input gaps are not exactly the same due to different transmission properties, in the gap changing device superimposed with the gap change to adapt to the respective transport and switch route length required gap a correction of the different input gaps. If the consecutive transmissions of the transmission stream do not have to be routed to the same rear sorting end segment, which is the normal case, then there is usually enough displacement space that does not necessitate any ejection.

Abstract

Selon ce procédé, des envois postaux qui se suivent dans le sens longitudinal, de façon à former un courant d'envois postaux, sont guidés, après avoir été séparés d'une pile, vers des terminaux de tri (1) correspondants, en fonction des adresses déterminées d'expédition, dans une voie de transport et d'aiguillage (2). L'écart nominal moyen entre les envois postaux qui quittent le dispositif de séparation est inférieur à l'écart entre les envois postaux devant parcourir le trajet le plus long jusqu'aux terminaux de tri (1). L'écart entre chaque deux envois postaux est individuellement ajusté avant la voie de transport et d'aiguillage (2) au moyen d'un dispositif réglable (4) d'ajustement de l'écart en fonction de l'envoi postal ayant à parcourir le trajet le plus court jusqu'au terminal de tri correspondant (1), de sorte que l'écart entre les envois postaux corresponde à un écart minimal déterminé à cet effet par des enquêtes statistiques antérieures. Lors du déplacement des envois postaux, les envois postaux perturbant l'ajustement de l'écart sont éjectés.
