Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flat mail sorting system comprising at least three memory modules arranged in a parallel circuit, each of the at least three memory modules having a memory area and an inserting function that transfers mailpieces from a mail piece stream into the memory area and a print function that ejects mail pieces the memory area for generating an optimized mail piece stream deducted includes.
  • the address of the mail piece can be at least at the beginning of the sorting process once recorded by machine. Often, however, the address can not be read by machine, but must be added by manual input of the address (or at least the part of it significant in the respective sorting operation). This fact requires that the non-readable mail pieces from the sorting process must be removed and cached for the duration of the manual assignment of the address, and then after manual assignment of the address again deducted from the intermediate storage and introduced into the sorting process.
  • the memory distance is always set to a certain minimum.
  • the mail items can only be evaluated with a limited depth of information, resulting in the one that leads to the lack of information depth address resolution, the completeness but would be required for the sequence sorting, additional processing steps.
  • each of the at least three memory modules may specify the function sequence insertion function, holding status and trigger function.
  • one of the memory modules can be filled and another emptied simultaneously, while in the at least one third memory module, which is in the holding state, exactly this idle time (meaning that there is neither stored nor deducted) is used, the mail pieces manually or to add address information by other address recognition means.
  • this process can already be used for the memory module, which is currently in insertion function, because with the introduction of the mail piece in the memory area basically begins the period for detecting and adding the address information to run.
  • the sorting system can be upgraded to the effect that address information about the mail pieces can be added for at least the mail pieces located in the memory area of the memory module operated in the holding status.
  • the storage capacity of the memory areas can be designed so that a last in the memory area of the memory module operated in Einstattfunktion transferred mailpiece there is stored so long that this mail pieces add an address information is added before this memory module in the trigger function becomes.
  • each memory module can be designed so that the insertion and the trigger function comprise a common roller belt unit and a Zubiganschlag, wherein optionally the Ein 1500funktion or the trigger function is executable by in the Ein 1500funktion the mail pieces in the conveying direction of the roller conveyor unit of the roller conveyor against the feed stop feasible and so into the storage area can be transferred, and by in the trigger function the last stacked mail piece in the conveying direction of the roller belt unit can be pulled off through a discharge opening from the storage area.
  • the particularly important for the storage feed stop which makes it possible to center the mail pieces for subsequent accurate deduction on two side edges of the mailpiece, is rather counterproductive for the deduction function, because the mail pieces are continued with the deduction from the storage area, preferably in the original feeding direction should.
  • the trigger function is therefore structurally particularly easy to implement if the supply stop in the stacking direction (direction in which the stack grows in the storage area) is displaceable in order to produce the trigger opening.
  • the last stored mail pieces is therefore promoted by the roller conveyor unit substantially in the orientation of the mailpiece in the memory area (or at least promoted in a vectorial transition, the still a noticeable Components in Einariaorientmaschine has) and can be fed for example in the current mail piece stream.
  • the contact pressures on the roller belt unit which are optimized for the insertion function and the trigger function, can be implemented particularly well if the storage area comprises a separating knife with which a first pressure can be exerted antiparallel to the stacking direction on at least a portion of the mail items stored in the storage area in the presence of the insertion function, and with which in the presence of the trigger function, a second pressure antiparallel to the stacking direction on at least a portion of the stored in the memory area mailpieces is exercisable.
  • the stacking direction refers to the direction in which the stack grows when mail pieces are continuously introduced into the storage area.
  • this cutting knife can be driven by means of a bottom belt or separately, which is in this way able to produce regardless of the stack size a constant contact pressure for each brought to the roller conveyor unit mail pieces on the roller conveyor.
  • certain mailing machine margins are set for certain mail sorting machines in coordination with a (postal) customer, using those sorting machines can be processed.
  • Such limit are primarily the dimensions of the mail pieces, so their minimum and maximum width, length and height, and then in the second line, for example, also their weight or their external nature.
  • the roller conveyor unit which guides the mail pieces in the insertion function to the feed stop, can therefore be dimensioned in an advantageous embodiment of the invention so that a memory area facing portion of a roller conveyor unit included in the driven roller conveyor is shorter than a shortest by definition piece length.
  • the storing operation can be assisted in that the roller tape does not engage the entire mail piece and so does not deliver the mail piece with the frictionally transmitted driving force too much against the feed stop, thereby causing process errors (buckled mail piece and blocking of the process) This point can be avoided even better.
  • a different starting position can be considered for the deduction of the mail items from the storage area as given.
  • a previously mentioned parameter, which supports the deduction process, is the choice of the correct pressure of the last stored mail piece on the roller conveyor unit. This process can be supported particularly advantageous if, in the presence of the trigger function, at least one pivotable support roller is provided for supporting the last stored mail piece, wherein the at least one support roller is pivoted away in the presence of the insertion function.
  • This at least one support roller which actually only needed for the trigger function and is therefore pivoted in the trigger function, ensures that the entire mail pieces is designed substantially parallel to the conveying plane of the roller conveyor and thus the driving force of the roller conveyor very homogeneous on the with the roller conveyor in Contact part of the mailpiece can be transferred.
  • a number of further parameters can be identified to help avoid process errors.
  • a parameter may be, for example, the feeding direction of the mailpieces to the roller conveyor unit.
  • the feed direction of the mailpieces in the mailpiece stream can be adjusted so that the feed direction extends at an angle to the orientation of the mail pieces in the storage area. In this way, the endeavor can be supported that the item of mail during the introduction into the storage area towards the end of this process is drivingly only in contact with the roller conveyor and thus a defined supply to the supply stop.
  • the roller belt unit may comprise a driven by a servo motor roller conveyor.
  • This is a shared roller conveyor available both in the insertion function and in the trigger function, which also has a structurally very beneficial.
  • the roller conveyor unit comprises two separately driven roller conveyors, wherein one of the two roller conveyors in the Ein slaughterfunktion in frictional contact with the mail pieces to be stored and the other of the two roller conveyors in the trigger function in frictional contact with the deducted from the storage area Post pieces can be brought.
  • specified for the respective function roller conveyors can be used with different coefficients of friction.
  • this solution is a little more expensive, because a mechanism must be present, which brings the two different bands depending on the selected function in frictional engagement with the mail pieces.
  • a pivoting device which pivots the one roller belt in a frictional contact position, while at the same time the other roller belt is pivoted out of the Reibumbleposition (and vice versa).
  • a further alternative may also be an eccentric shaft, which raises the one roller conveyor in the frictional contact position and at the same time lowers the other roller conveyor (and vice versa).
  • each of the above-mentioned roller belt can be driven by means of a servo motor, which drives the roller conveyor with a predeterminable profile.
  • a servo motor which drives the roller conveyor with a predeterminable profile.
  • the breakpoint may be defined as a location at which the trailing edge of the relatively short mailpiece (and thus also the leading edge important for proper positioning) is still far enough away from the insertion stop to drive the mailpiece to rewind the roll to be able to drive in the desired speed for the next mailpieces before the slowdown is provided for the gentle approach to the feed stop.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate the substantially vertical orientation of the mail pieces. In the figures 1 to 3, therefore, the top views always show only the top of the mail pieces.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a schematic view, a plan view of a memory module 2 according to the invention, which operates in the insertion function in the representation shown.
  • the memory module 2 comprises a memory area 4 in which mail pieces P 1 , P 2 , P 3 ,..., P n-1 are currently stored.
  • the mailpiece P n will be the next mailpiece transferred to the memory area 4.
  • this postal item P n is fed between two supply belts 6, 8 to the storage module 2 in the direction of an arrow 10 - referred to below as conveying direction 10 - and then taken over by a roller conveyor 12 of the storage module 2.
  • the roller conveyor 12 is driven in a controlled manner and conveys the mail pieces P 1 , P 2 , P 3 ,..., P n-1 to a feed stop 14, whereby the mail pieces P 1 , P 2 , P 3 ,. P n-1 then based on their front and bottom edge in a well-defined position in the memory area 4 are.
  • the supply stop 14 blocks in the position shown in Figure 1 and a vent opening 16, which will be discussed in more detail in the description of Figure 2.
  • An arrow 26 is therefore intended to indicate that the feed stop 14 is guided in the shown plan (downwards) to immediately in front of the roller conveyor 12.
  • a separating blade 18 and a bottom flange 20 are provided, which are very finely adjustable in the insertion function of the memory module 2 in the stacking direction according to arrows 22, 24 are movable.
  • a first pressure is generated in anti-parallel to the stacking direction in order to set the desired Zutechnologyan horr on the roller conveyor 12 for the promotion of the respective mail piece to be stored.
  • the memory module 2 further comprises a support roller assembly 28, which is pivoted in the insertion function shown in Figure 1 in an inactive state.
  • An arrow 30 is intended here to illustrate the pivoting direction of the support roller assembly 28 by way of example.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a schematic plan view of the memory module 2, which is operated here in the trigger function. Unlike the insert function, a number of components of the memory module are now in a different position.
  • the support roller assembly 28 is now intientschwenktem active state, which is to be indicated with respect to the pivoting direction by an arrow 32.
  • the support roller assembly 28 ensures that, above all, the next postal item to be deducted, here the mail piece P n-1 is aligned in a plane substantially corresponding to the conveyor plane spanned by the roller conveyor 12 and also in the vicinity of the memory module 2 substantially corresponds to further funding orientation. In this way, the postal item to be deducted lies flat against the roller conveyor 12 and can be deducted defined.
  • the Zuindustrialanschlag 14 is moved away in the trigger function in the graphic representation according to arrow 34 upwards and so the exhaust port 16 free.
  • the snapshot shown in Figure 2 shows the mail piece P n , which is already fully withdrawn and conveyed in the direction of an arrow 36, and the mail piece P n-1 , the front edge 40 of which passes straight through the discharge opening 16 and by a scraper 38 in contact the roller belt 12 is held.
  • the scraper 38 supports the avoidance of double scoops, since its coefficient of friction is matched to the frictional torque acting on the roller conveyor and with a double trigger retains the mail item that is not in direct contact with the roller conveyor.
  • an optimized print-deduction pressure of the mailpiece is now set on the roll-band 12.
  • a second pressure is built up in antiparallel to the stacking direction by means of the separating knife 18 (see arrow 42). Setting the correct trigger pressure is also important in the trigger function for avoiding process errors, because the trigger pressure is too low For example, can lead to unwanted slippage of the roller belt 12 and thus to an inaccurate promotion of the currently deducted mail piece. On the other hand, too high a withdrawal pressure can lead to a multiple deduction or even to jamming of the lower postal items in the drawing.
  • the underfloor belt 20 is driven in the direction of arrow 44 and moves so in cooperation with the biased separating knife 18 stored in the memory area 4 mail pieces.
  • FIG. 3 now shows the exemplary arrangement of three memory modules 2 a, 2 b, 2 c in a sorting system 50 according to the invention (the use of reference symbols from FIGS. 1 and 2 was restricted to the necessary).
  • the three memory modules 2a, 2b, 2c which are identical to the memory module 2 are arranged in a parallel circuit, wherein in the present case the memory module 2a operates in the insertion function, the memory module 2b in the trigger function and the memory module 2c in the hold status.
  • This assignment of the function for example, at the position of the support roller arrangements 28a, 28b, 28c is very clearly recognizable.
  • the support roller assembly 28a is in the retracted passive state for the insertion function, and the support roller assembly 28b is for the retract function in the retracted active state.
  • the support roller assembly 28c has already been switched to the swung-active state, because the currently held in the holding state memory module 2c will then be transferred to the trigger function.
  • a first point device 52 which precedes the memory modules 2a, 2b, 2c in the feed direction 10 (direction of a mail piece flow S), is set so that the mail pieces fed in the mail piece flow S are fed to the storage module 2a, which inserts the items of mail P 1 to P m + k marked with an index m (k is a natural number greater than 1) by means of its insertion function into the storage area 4 a.
  • a second switch device 54 which switches the mail piece flow S to the memory module 2b, is not currently involved in the conveying process. However, since the memory module 2b is currently operated in the pull-down function, this memory module 2b will be operated in the insert function after the next switching operation (function rotation).
  • a third switch device 56 is active, because on this switch device 56, the deducted from the memory module 2b mail pieces represent the optimized mail piece flow S '.
  • the mail pieces P 1 to P n-1 are withdrawn from the storage module 2b operated in the deduction function and thereby formed into the optimized mail piece flow S '.
  • the mailpieces P n + 1 and P n have already been withdrawn from the storage area 4b and are located in the third switch device 56 or on the conveying path to the third switch device 56. Accordingly, a fourth switch device 58 is currently inactive because the memory module 2c is in the holding state.
  • Both the memory modules 2a, 2b 2c, the first to fourth switches 52 to 58 and the aforementioned switching operations are controlled by a control unit C which bi-directionally communicates with these components in the wireless path, as indicated by data arrows D 58 (data from and to the fourth Switch direction 58) and D 2c (data from and to the memory module 2b) is to be represented as representative of all components to be controlled.
  • the applied control algorithms can be of a variety of nature and have usually been derived from empirically derived measurement data.
  • a simple control rule may for example provide that the four switch devices 52 to 58 and the function type of the three memory modules 2a, 2b, 2c are switched over when the memory area of the memory module operated in the insertion function (here memory modules 2a) has reached a predetermined level.
  • Other control parameters can also the mail piece inflow, the Optimized mailpiece runoff, the memory capacity of the memory modules, their current level and the state of the address assignment. These parameters can also be combined as input variables for the control in an expedient manner.
