Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of sorting postal items in a postal sorting machine equipped with an automatic container handling system which brings empty trays into sorting outlets of the machine and which transfers full bins from the outlets.
  • sorting device on an evacuation conveyor which extends along the sorting outlets and which is extended by a recirculating conveyor, said recirculation conveyor bringing the bins in line from the evacuation conveyor to an inlet of the machine.
  • the method according to the invention is more particularly intended for the preparation of factor rounds in several passes.
  • a sorting machine for preparing factor rounds comprises one or more rows of sorting outlets juxtaposed and / or superimposed.
  • the patent document US-2004/0016623 discloses an automatic bin handling system that enables a full or partially filled bin to be transferred from each sorting outlet to an extended bin conveyor by a recirculating conveyor bringing the bins back in line from the evacuation conveyor to a conveyor input of the machine and which allows to replace in each sorting outlet the tray that has been transferred by a vacuum tray arranged on standby, for example on a conveyor of empty trays, facing this sorting outlet.
  • the conveyor of full bins is composed of a set of independent conveyors assigned respectively to sorting outlets so as to organize the sequencing of the full bins as they are replaced by empty bins.
  • the document US-2003/01141226 discloses a sequencing system of full bins which is intended to receive a stream of bins from a sorting machine and reorder them in a certain order so that they can be represented at the input of the machine for a next sort pass shipments.
  • This sequencing system is very complicated and expensive.
  • Patent document is also known US-2005/0252836 a sequencing system of full bins comprising a random input accumulator which accumulates the full bins as and when they arrive and orders them in sequence for a reintroduction sorting machine.
  • This sequencing system is very complicated and expensive.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method for sorting postal items in a postal sorting machine as indicated above according to which two bins can be managed per sorting outlet. during a sorting pass using a sorting outlet bins evacuation conveyor which may be a conventional belt conveyor for sequencing the bins for a reintroduction of postal items in the machine.
  • the idea underlying the invention is therefore based on a particular control of the tray handling system and conveyors to orderly bring and store in parallel storage bins on a recirculating conveyor with two lines serving storage medium and recover two by two the bins arriving from end to end of the two lines of the recirculation conveyor.
  • the method according to the invention it is possible to simply use two bins per sorting outlet while maintaining the order of the bins at the output of the machine, for example with the object of bringing them to a device insertion of the postal items in the machine to make another sort pass.
  • the bins of the first and second lines of the recirculation conveyor are passed to a switching conveyor to form a sequence of bins alternating a first bin from the first line and a second bin. from the second line.
  • the first and second lines of the recirculation conveyor more particularly have contiguous ends at which the infeed conveyor extends. Evacuation tanks can still be performed manually at these contiguous ends.
  • the sorting machine comprises two rows of juxtaposed and / or superimposed sorting outlets, each provided with an evacuation conveyor, and the first trays of the two rows of outlets are interwoven. sorting before bringing them to the first line of the recirculation conveyor, the second bins of the rows of sorting outlets are interspersed before bringing them to the second line of the recirculation conveyor, then the first and second bins from a row of sorting outlets to a first outflow path and the first and second bins from the other row of sorting outlets to a second outflow path. More particularly, the two rows of sorting outlets can be arranged on either side of the machine.
  • the method according to the invention can be easily implemented on existing sorting machines.
  • the invention also extends to a postal sorting machine characterized in that it is arranged to implement the method described above and in that it comprises an evacuation conveyor in the form of a conveyor belt.
  • the invention applies more particularly to a "sequencing" sorting in several sorting passes for the preparation of factor turnings on a bucket carousel sorting machine.
  • postal items are introduced into a storage device (warehouse) and unstacking which puts in series the postal items arranged in stack at the entrance of the machine to present them one by one on edge in a device of automatic address recognition by OCR.
  • Each shipment is then loaded into a bucket of a bucket carousel that travels over sorting outlets of the machine to distribute the shipments in storage bins provided in these sorting outlets.
  • Each sorting outlet of this machine can be equipped with a removable tray.
  • the sorting machine 1 comprises a row of sorting outlets 2 along which extend adjacently in front of, a discharge conveyor 3 of full containers commonly called "Full Tray Conveyor” or “FTC” which can be a conveyor to motorized belt, and behind an empty tray supply conveyor 4.
  • FTC Full Container
  • S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 are represented in these figures but the machines used for implement the invention include a much larger number of sorting outlets.
  • a recirculating conveyor which may be for example conveyor belts.
  • Known sorting machines already include a single row recirculation conveyor which is more commonly known as "Full Tray Recirculation System” or "FTRS”. This recirculation conveyor is used to bring the bins containing sorted items during a sorting pass from the evacuation conveyor to the machine entrance in order to perform a new sorting pass with these items, or to a box of the box. evacuation and storage bins.
  • the first and second lines 6, 7 extend more particularly parallel to one another between the discharge end of the evacuation conveyor 3 and respectively of the first and second evacuation ends 8, 9 which are contiguous.
  • a switching conveyor device 10 is disposed in the extension of the discharge ends 8, 9 of the recirculation conveyor. This switching conveyor device 10 makes it possible to bring the bins coming from the first and second lines of the recirculation conveyor onto the same conveying path.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to sort with two bins per sorting outlet in the machine described above.
  • a first empty bin 11 is disposed in each of the sorting outlets 2 of the machine and a second empty bin 12 is disposed on the empty bin conveyor opposite each of the sorting outlets 2.
  • the bins are marked with the algebraic number of the sorting outlet to which they are assigned followed by the index A for the first bins 11 and the index B for the second bins 12.
  • the postal items sorted in successive sorting outlets must be removed from the machine in a successive manner to maintain the sorting sequence between the postal items, that is to say that the bins (1A, 1B) used in the first sorting outlet (S1) must be evacuated before the bins (2A, 2B) used in the second sorting outlet (S2) and so on until the bins (5A, 5B) of the last and fifth output sorting (S5) and that the order between the first and second bins (xA and xB) used in each sorting outlet must also be retained.
  • the invention is based on the fact of bringing back the bins at the entrance of the machine for a subsequent sorting pass respecting the order of the bins for unstacking postal items during this subsequent sorting pass.
  • the position of the bins 11,12 in the machine represented on the figure 1 corresponds to the preparation of the machine before the beginning of the sorting process and is consistent with the first step 20 of the sorting method according to the invention illustrated by the block diagram of the figure 3 .
  • a first empty tray 11 is in each sorting outlet.
  • the evacuation conveyor 3 and the empty trough conveyor 4 are arranged on either side of a row of sorting outlets so that a simple system (not shown) for automatic handling of trays equipping each outlet of sorting can be controlled to move an empty bin of the empty bin conveyor 4 into the sorting outlet in question (which faces the empty bin) and a bin of this sorting outlet on the evacuation conveyor 3.
  • Second empty bin can but are not necessarily permanently positioned next to the first sorting outlets. Moving these empty bins can be handled by the automatic bin handling system.
  • a machine control / control unit programmed to implement the method according to the invention checks in step 23 whether this current item is the last item sent to sort and so the sort process is complete. If the sorting process is not completed, the control / command unit orders the sorting of the subsequent postal item to the current item and at the same time checks in step 24 if the box in which is deposited the current mailing is a first ferry and if it is full.
  • the filling level of the sorting outlet bins is continuously monitored and in the method according to the invention, the control of the filling level of the bins in the sorting outlets is preferably carried out on the basis of a measurement of the thickness of each shipment made for example at the time of address recognition in the automatic address recognition device OCR.
  • the machine controls a bin change in this sorting outlet in step 25, ie controls the bin handling system of this sorting outlet to transfer the first full bin to the bin.
  • full container conveyor which is stationary and for loading in this sorting outlet a second empty container which is arranged on the conveyor of empty containers in front of this sorting outlet.
  • the movement of the bins in the sorting machine is stored in the machine and the control / command unit checks in step 26 from this stored information whether the first bin of each sorting outlet has been transferred to the conveyor. shutdown.
  • the control / command unit controls in step 27 the evacuation in order of the first bins disposed on the evacuation conveyor 3 to the first line 6 of the recirculation conveyor by starting and advancing these said 3.6 conveyors arranged in the extension of one another.
  • the control / command unit controls in step 28 a transfer of all the second bins to the conveyor of the bins. evacuation 3 at the stop.
  • the second bins follow each other on the evacuation conveyor in the same order as the sorting outlets of the machine, that is to say that the bin (1 B) precedes the bin (2B) which precedes the bins (3B), (4B) and (5B).
  • the control / command unit then controls in step 29 the evacuation in order of the second bins disposed on the evacuation conveyor 3 to the second line 7 of the recirculation conveyor by starting and advancing these said 3.7 conveyors arranged in the extension of one another.
  • the bins are then arranged on the lines 6,7 in the machine as shown on the figure 2 .
  • the first bins (1A) to (5A) are arranged in the order on the first line 6 and the second bins (1 B) to (5B) are arranged in order on the second line 7.
  • the lines of the recirculating conveyor are arranged in parallel side by side, the first and second bins coming from the same outlet are arranged side by side on their respective line.
  • At the respective contiguous discharge ends 8 and 9 of the first and second lines are the first and second bins from the first sorting outlet.
  • step 30 alternatively a first tank at the first discharge end 8 and a second tank at the second discharge end 9, this continuing to advance the bins on the recirculation conveyor 6.7 to the discharge ends 8, 9, until all the bins are evacuated.
  • the bins present on the first and second lines 6, 7 are evacuated alternately automatically by means of a switching conveyor system 10 which makes it possible to join two conveying paths in a single conveying path, this conveyor system to switch being disposed in the extension of the recirculation conveyor at the discharge ends 8,9.
  • bins thus sequenced on a single conveying path, are evacuated either towards the entrance of the machine so that the items are reintroduced into the machine for a new sorting pass, or to a storage place for shipments when for example the preparation of the tour of the postman is over.
  • FIG. 4 It is very schematically represented on the figure 4 another sorting machine 101 adapted to implement the method according to the invention.
  • This machine has two superimposed levels each having a bucket carousel, each bucket carousel flowing over two rows of sorting outlets, which are arranged on each of the faces of the sorting machine.
  • Such a sorting machine can be considered as a set of four independent virtual sorting machines, ie a virtual machine by level and by face or more simply by row of sorting output.
  • An evacuation conveyor of full tanks 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d flows in front of each row of sorting outlets.
  • each of the evacuation conveyors 103a-103d corresponds a destacker 113a, 113b, 113c, 113d.
  • the unstackers associated with rows of sorting outlets of the same level are close and lead to an automatic OCR address recognition device 114ab, 114cd.
  • the virtual machines are completely independent and four single-row recirculation conveyors connect the four evacuation conveyors to the four unstackers. With such an arrangement, it is only possible to sort a tray by sorting outlet if it is desired to use belt conveyor type conveyors and maintain a certain sequence between the bins.
  • the configuration of the machine is slightly modified by jointly connecting the two evacuation conveyors of the same level (respectively 103a, 103b and 103c, 103d) to a recirculation conveyor with two lines (respectively 106ab, 107ab and 106cd, 107cd) leading to the corresponding unstackers (respectively 113a, 113b and 113c, 113d) and a switching device (respectively 110ab and 110cd) is installed between the two lines of the recirculation conveyor near the stackers.
  • This switching device 110ab, 110cd allows the bins to pass from one line to another of the recirculation conveyor.
  • This is for example a conveyor belt disposed transversely to the lines of the recirculating conveyor which are parallel to each other and arranged to convey the trays in one direction or the other, from one line to another.
  • a known switching device 120 can be adapted and used on the machine 101 and for moving a tray 121 in two perpendicular directions indicated by the arrows 122,123.
  • the container can be driven in both directions along the direction 122 by means of motorized rollers 126 or can be driven in the direction 123 by means of conveyor belts 127 arranged in parallel between the rollers 126.
  • the conveyor belts 127 are mounted on a frame rising or falling so that these conveyor belts are or not in contact with the tray 121 to convey it or to let the motorized rollers 126 move it.
  • the method according to the invention is used in the following manner.
  • the process is the same for the two levels of the sorting machine and will therefore be described with reference to one of the levels.
  • the evacuation conveyors 103a, 103b When all the first bins of the two rows of sorting outlets arranged on both sides of the machine on the same level have been transferred to the evacuation conveyors 103a, 103b, they are brought, by intermingling them on the first line. 106ab of the recirculating conveyor.
  • the first bins arranged on the evacuation conveyor 103a and on the other evacuation conveyor 103b are for example brought alternately one by one on the first line 106ab, that is to say a first tray coming from a conveyor. 103a discharge, followed by a first tray from the other evacuation conveyor 103b.
  • the first bins are advanced to the referral device 110ab.
  • all the second bins are transferred to the evacuation conveyors 103a, 103b. These second bins are then brought to the second line 107ab of the recirculating conveyor, by mixing them in the same sequence between the bins as when the first bins were intermingled.
  • the second bins disposed on the evacuation conveyor 103a and on the other evacuation conveyor 103b are for example brought, as previously the first bins, alternately one by one on the second line 107ab.
  • the second bins are advanced to the switching device 110ab.
  • the tray sequence in reference to the sorting outlets from which they are derived is the same for the first bins on the first line as for the second bins on the second line.
  • the first and second bins coming from the same sorting outlet are at the same time respectively on the first and second lines in front of the switching device 110ab, they are therefore sent to the order one behind the other to the corresponding unstacker of this sorting outlet.
  • the two following bins on the first and second lines of the recirculation conveyor are switched in order to the other unstacker because from a sorting outlet disposed on the opposite side with respect to the sorting outlet of the bins that preceded them directly, and so on until you have reintroduced all shipments into the machine.
  • Devices 115 for identifying the trays for example by reading bar codes inscribed on the trays can be used to control the proper movement of the trays.
  • first bins are not necessarily full before the end of the sorting pass. These first bins will then have no second bin counterparts from the same sorting outlets. They are then not transferred to the evacuation conveyor because they are not full during the sorting pass but are for example transferred to the end of the sorting pass to keep the sequence between the first bins, before sending them. first bins to the first line.
  • the second bins of these sorting outlets are not necessarily transferred to the evacuation conveyor and then evacuated because they are empty.
  • the identification devices of the bins in relation to the control / control unit make it possible to maintain a correct sequence between the bins on the different lines of the recirculation conveyor.
  • a second ferry should have been sent on the second line, even if it does not exist, in order to respect the alternation between the bins coming from the different evacuation conveyors, or the way to intermingle the bins, so as to obtain a similar sequence on the two lines of the recirculation conveyor.
  • the non-existence of these second bins is also taken into account when the bins are separated at the switching device.
  • the first bins that are not full during the sorting pass can be transferred to the evacuation conveyor only at the same time as the second bins of the other sorting outlets and be sent to the second line of the conveyor. recirculation.
  • Intermingling means the orderly mixing of the bins from different recirculation conveyors to bring them in line or in line on a recirculation line. It is advantageous to alternate the trays coming from the two evacuation conveyors so that the flows of trays arriving at the different unstackers are identical.
  • the alternation on the lines of the recirculation conveyor between the bins coming from the different evacuation conveyors is however not necessarily regular, it must only be identical for the sequence of first bins and for the sequence of second bins.
  • the invention also extends to a method of sorting with three or more bins per sorting outlet using a recirculating conveyor with three or more lines.
