Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a document loading device for the automated loading of documents in loading equipment, in particular in containers or trays, which are transported by a Fordertechnik within a picking system
  • the document loading device comprises a document guide means for storing a, preferably a single document with multiple slip sheets and mechanically guiding the same into an associated loading aid which is conveyed past the document loading device in an automated manner by means of the conveyor technology so that the document can be actively moved into its associated loading aid.
  • the invention further relates to a picking system with at least one such document loading device and a conveyor for transporting loading equipment.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for adding a receipt to an associated loading aid according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • the European patent application EP 1 792 862 A1 discloses such a document loading device, such a picking system and such a method.
  • a document is printed by means of a conventional printer and then cached in a coupled to the printer magazine, for example, caching up to eight different documents can.
  • laser printers are used.
  • an identification number of the container is detected relatively early.
  • the container identification takes place at a location which is, for example, up to ten container lengths upstream relative to a transfer point at which the documents are dispensed into the containers. This is required to retrieve the document from a higher-level control computer, such as a warehouse management computer, and to give the receipt printer sufficient time to print the document. In particular, warm-up times of the printer must be considered.
  • the relatively long distance between the identification site and the Beigabeort has been found to be disadvantageous. Errors may occur on the way between the identification location and the loading site (e.g., congestion, unpredictable removal of a container from a container stream, or the like), so that either no container or other container arrives at the transfer location instead of an expected container. The receipt printer is then no longer able to respond to such an error. The entire system must then be stopped or the error corrected in a subsequent, manual error handling.
  • the patent application US 2008/0289301 A1 shows a device for dispensing coupons in containers.
  • One coupon per container is dispensed.
  • the delivery is made by a horizontal ejection.
  • the coupons are clamped between two vertically opposite straps, which in turn are driven in opposite directions to each eject a coupon laterally.
  • the coupons are pre-printed and provided in the form of a continuous web on a roll.
  • the device of US 2008/0289301 A1 further comprises means for separating the endlessly provided coupons before the singulated coupons are delivered to the webbing.
  • the system should be well scalable and redundant. A high reliability and the use of as few mechanical components is desirable. In particular, the system should be cost effective and, if possible, enable higher throughput.
  • a document loading device for the automated loading of documents in loading aids, in particular in containers or trays, which are transported by means of a conveyor within a picking system
  • the document loading device comprising: a document guiding device for storing a, preferably a single, document, which consists of at least one slip sheet, and for mechanically guiding the same into an associated loading aid, which is automatically moved past the document loading device by means of the conveyor technology in such a way that the slip is actively movable into its associated load support;
  • the document guide means comprises two substantially horizontally opposed, movably mounted receiving members which receive in their receiving position the document in a space between them, and an actuator which moves the receiving members in their delivery position, in which the document dispensed into the associated loading aid becomes; at least one sensor, wherein a first sensor (eg a scanner) is set up and arranged such that the loading aid is identifiable before, preferably immediately before, the document loading device; and a controller coupled to the sensors for issuing a receipt print command to a printer in
  • the errors are reduced because the loading aids can no longer "crash" on their way to the document loading device. Even in the case of misprints or paper jams, there is no misallocation of documents on loading equipment. A paper jam or misprints can be easily removed or eliminated, without causing a confusion in the loading equipment.
  • the receipt is preferably horizontal.
  • the document loading device operates extremely reliably (on average one error per 10,000 sheets).
  • the invention is without
  • the loading equipment conveying system builds very briefly, since a so-called registration line, as known from the prior art with e.g. a length of eight containers was known, is no longer necessary.
  • the receiving members are realized by paddle wheels, which are rotatably mounted and the blades are closed in the receiving position in the direction of the associated loading aid.
  • Multi-unit paddle wheels with e.g. two to four blades per wheel, represent simple mechanical components that on the one hand, the sheets of a document safely pick up and on the other these also safely in the direction of the loading aid during an addition lead.
  • the paddle wheels are actuated by means of a single drive such that the paddle wheels rotate from their receiving position in opposite directions of rotation in the dispensing position, the paddle wheels are preferably always rotated in the same direction to each in their respective delivery position to get.
  • the paddle wheels are rotated to be moved from their receiving position to their delivery position.
  • the advantage of paddle wheels is that when a first paddle wheel pair has been rotated from its receiving position to the delivery position, the subsequent pair of paddle wheels simultaneously returns to its receiving position is turned. A forward and backward movement of the Schaufelradcrue is not required, which is reflected in a gain of time. This increases the throughput.
  • the synchronization of the pick-up members is usually done by e.g. the paddle wheels are moved by means of a traction means, in particular a drive belt, which is guided in an opposite direction of rotation about parallel axes of the paddle wheels.
  • the drive is an electric motor.
  • the receiving members are designed as stored flaps.
  • hinged flaps When hinged flaps are used, it is advantageous if a punch is used as an actuator to bring the flaps from above to their delivery position. By means of a return mechanism, in particular a spring device, the flaps can then be returned to their receiving position.
  • This system is again characterized - in comparison to the prior art - by the fact that only mechanical components - and thus no pneumatic components - are used.
  • a second sensor is provided which is arranged and arranged such that a number of sheets forming a document belong, countable and verifiable, wherein the control means in response to signals from the second sensor interrupts a Belegbeigabe if the number of slip sheets deviates from a predetermined number, or causes the Belegbeigabe if the number of slip sheets matches the predetermined number.
  • a third sensor is provided, which is arranged and arranged such that it is verifiable whether the correct document for addition is in the receiving members.
  • a barcode scanner is used to identify the receipt in the picking position.
  • a fourth sensor is provided, which is arranged and arranged such that it can be checked whether the receiving members are in the respectively correct position.
  • the object is further achieved by a picking system comprising at least one document loading device according to the present invention and a conveyor system for transporting loading aids, wherein a plurality of document loading devices share a common, single first sensor (eg scanner) for each provided document loading device about a stowage space upstream relative to first document loading device is arranged.
  • a picking system comprising at least one document loading device according to the present invention and a conveyor system for transporting loading aids, wherein a plurality of document loading devices share a common, single first sensor (eg scanner) for each provided document loading device about a stowage space upstream relative to first document loading device is arranged.
  • the order picking system e.g. is provided with two Belegbeigabevorraumen, it is advisable to place the place of identification by two loading auxiliary lengths in front of the first document loading device. This makes it possible to identify two loading aids per cycle, so that each document loading device for one of the loading aids can print a document. It is understood that as the number of document loading devices increases, the identification location is preferably moved further upstream accordingly.
  • the document loading device may be bypassed with another conveyor technique if, for example, documents are to be used as receipts. Invoices are printed. Usually, only the last container of a container series gets the invoice attached. If a container series e.g. comprises five containers, this means that the fifth container is provided with a document, here an invoice. So as not to have to carry unnecessarily many containers past the document loading device, i. in order to pass only those containers on the document loading device, which are actually to be provided with a receipt, a diversion conveyor line (conveyor) is provided, on which the containers are passed without detour at the document loading point. In this way, the throughput can be increased.
