Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sorting device for flat mail items having at least one input station, one mailing singulator each and a subsequent transport device for transporting the singular mailings to process devices, such as e.g. Reader, barcode printer, passing past each to a loading station of a Sendungspuffer ⁇ memory, wherein the mailing buffer memory consists of several in a conveyor loop circulating, the Bela destations moved past storage pockets, which are loaded in the loading stations with the shipments.
  • process devices such as e.g. Reader, barcode printer
  • EP 0 608 161 A1 discloses a sorting device in which flat objects are transported laterally from one side into storage pockets by means of a channel-shaped, locally fixed supply device. These storage pockets circulating in a closed loop are moved horizontally past the supply device and the shipments then fall into a sorting container located thereunder by deliberate opening of flaps in accordance with the sorting instruction.
  • the shipments in the supply device must have a very high transport speed, which can lead to damage when the shipments in the container are decelerated, or the speed of the storage pockets is very low or the containers stand still during the insertion, which means a throughput reduction of the machine.
  • EP 820 818 Al For arranging in a particular order, a solution has been known (EP 820 818 Al), which uses a temporary storage consisting of in a conveyor loop with at least two gur ⁇ circular conveyor sections on a conveyor rotating storage pockets, each receiving a shipment and this on command in the actual filing wie ⁇ derive.
  • first all to be classified programs are housed in any order in the storage pockets of the cache.
  • the feeds are then removed from the storage pockets of the intermediate storage device and transferred to the storage devices in such a way that they are in the last order to be produced.
  • the shelves that are open at the top are located along the straight sections of the conveying device below the storage pockets.
  • a sorting device (EP 0 949 015 A2) having a plurality of input units, at least one mail buffer with continuously circulating storage pockets, mail containers as sorting outlets, which are filled from the lower mail buffer and with an infeed and outfeed device for mailing containers. That's it it is possible to manage with fewer sorting outlets than sorting destinations are available.
  • US Pat. No. 6,126,017 A discloses a sorting device with a continuously circulating mail item buffer store, with stationary buffers arranged below it and stationary mail items, which are arranged interchangeably underneath.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sorting device with circulating storage pockets, which is designed so that a sorting on the Verteilrei ⁇ order in a sorting within a designated time window is possible and with the effort for automatic change the consignment container and to measure their levels can be reduced.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • An ⁇ Underneath straight transfer sections of the conveyor loops of the mailing buffer or storage buffer are fixed, upwardly open buffers for receiving one or more items from the loaded, in the transfer sections controlled to open storage pockets.
  • mailing containers which are continuously open at the top also circulate as sorting end points assigned to the destination addresses or target address groups into which the items corresponding to their read destination addresses can be opened by controllably opening the respective buffer at the time at which the item Address assigned
  • Shipment container is located in a corresponding position below the cache with broadcasts for this shipment container, down to a lying position are dischargeable.
  • the consignment container transport path has at least one infeed device for empty consignment containers and at least one outfeed device for filled consignment containers.
  • the locally fixed latches allow relatively high rotational speeds, since the relative speeds for the transfers are only the pocket rim speed or the mail container speed. In particular, the pocket rim speed has no influence on the stacking behavior in the container (decoupling).
  • the number of buffers is much smaller than the number of storage bins of the mail buffer, since they are used several times during a cycle. This can be improved by er ⁇ heightened, but still relatively inexpensive effort in the design of the cache memory stack quality.
  • the intermediate memories are gebo ⁇ in the transport direction of the mail container.
  • the mail item containers are inclined in their transport direction.
  • these storage pockets advantageously pass through a defined number of transfer sections and if the destination addresses could not yet be read during this time, then they become
  • a plurality of mailbox buffers whose conveyor loops each have two straight transfer sections with the buffers and two curved sections, of which one connected to the loading stations having arranged demo ⁇ each other.
  • the transport path for the circulating mail item containers is guided in a meandering manner below the mail item buffer memories so that the mail item containers transported along directly below the transfer portions of the mailer buffer storages each have the opposite transport direction to the storage pockets.
  • the storage pockets are mall ⁇ Lich open and are guided with the open sides laterally past the end portions of the transport devices. As a result, the transport direction from the input station and the mail item orientation can be maintained down to the storage pocket.
  • controllable, stationary actuators which are assigned to the intermediate stores, for opening the storage trays and for opening the intermediate stores and corresponding closing elements are arranged along the transfer sections.
  • a sensor arrangement for determining the stacking height is arranged above the transport path of the containers after the transfer sections and in front of the device for feeding in and out the mail item containers , In contrast to this, a corresponding sensor had to be arranged at each end point or a calculation of the stack height by means of the measured thicknesses of the individual transmissions had to be carried out.
  • 1 shows a schematic plan view of a sorting device with a mail buffer and two input stations
  • 2 shows a schematic side view of
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the presorting of several items in the distribution order into a buffer.
  • a mail buffer 1 is present. It consists of a storage loop 15 which is continuously circulated in a conveyor loop and can be discharged in a controlled manner downwards by means of an opening mechanism for receiving the items in a standing position.
  • Each conveyor loop has two straight transfer sections 9 and between them two curved connecting sections 10.
  • the storage pockets 15 are open to the outside laterally, and at a curved portion 10 of the conveyor loop there are two loading stations 7, in which individual shipments through the side openings in the empty storage pockets 15 trans ported.
  • the loading stations 7 each receive the items one at a time from an input unit 2, in which the items are separated from consignment stacks by means of a mailing singling device 3, aligned in an aligning section 4 and then transferred to process devices, such as e.g. an address reader 5 or a barcode printer 6 for applying an identification code, passing by means of a
  • Transport device 8 transported to the loading station 7 were ⁇ the. Since two loading stations 7 feed the storage trays 15 side-by-side with consignments, the circulating speed of the pocket corrugation must be high enough so that, adapted to the efficiency of the consignment singulating devices 3, after passing through the two transfer sections 9, the read consignments at directly below the pocket corrugation the intermediate sections 16 have been transferred to fixed buffers 16 arranged in a stationary manner. Below the temporary storage 16 open-topped mail container 17 as sorting stations eben ⁇ if continuously rotating on a transport path 11 be ⁇ moves. This is done so that the mail container 17 directly under both straight transfer sections 9 of the mail item buffer memory 1 are transported opposite to the conveying direction of the storage pockets 15, ie the transport path 11 runs meandering.
  • a sensor assembly 14 for measuring the stack height eg as a laser sensor. If the maximum stacking height has not yet been reached, the mailing container 17 in question passes through another circulation during sorting. If it is reached or exceeded, the discharge takes place.
  • the items are to be sorted according to the distribution order in a sorting run, then, as shown schematically in FIG. 3, within the available time until the last possible transfer of the items from the storage pockets 15 to the intermediate storage 16 is presorted Be carried out with overtaking operations, in which case one or more transmissions are stored in each case in an intermediate storage 16. It is thus possible to store already subsequences in the buffers. This additional rounds of the corresponding mail container 17 can be avoided.
  • FIG. 3 there are three programs in the illustrated sequence 3, 2, 1 in the storage pockets 15. However, they are to be stored in the container 17 shown in the reverse order.
  • the time frame available is calculated by determining the last possible transfer point of the consignment into the destination container, taking into account the dwell time in the intermediate storage unit 16. The three transmissions are then loaded in the reverse order into a free intermediate memory 16 within the determined time window and from there into the mail container 17.
