Definitions

  • the invention relates to a postal sorting machine comprising an automatic feeding station with an unstacking device, a manual feed station, and a sorting conveyor adapted to move postal items in series one behind the other. along a conveying direction.
  • the automatic feeding station is designed to automatically feed the conveyor from a stack of shipments.
  • the manual feed station is adapted to receive manually inserted shipments individually and place them in the conveyor.
  • Such a manual feed station allows to insert before, during or after the flow of the items automatically unstacked at the entrance of the machine, other so-called non-machinable or non-standard shipments.
  • These non-standard shipments are shipments that have, for example, too large dimensions, variable thickness or weight too large to be supported by an automatic unstacker. It may also be letters surrounded by tape or string.
  • Patent document is known US 5954330 such a machine in which the sorting conveyor moves the shipments on edge and the manual feed station is in the form of another conveyor ship on edge that converges to the sorting conveyor.
  • This solution has the disadvantage of occupying a non-negligible floor area and may require the establishment of additional devices to achieve the convergence of the stream of items which increases the cost of the sorting machine.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a sorting machine with a manual feed station for non-machinable or non-standard shipments that does not have the disadvantages above.
  • the subject of the invention is a postal sorting machine comprising an automatic feed station with an unstacking device, a manual feed station, and a sorting conveyor adapted to move postal items in series. one behind the other along a conveying direction, the automatic feeding station being provided to automatically feed the conveyor from a stack of shipments, the manual feed station being adapted to receive individually inserted consignments and placing them in the conveyor, characterized in that the manual feed station comprises a protective cover forming a kind of tunnel above the conveyor, an insertion slot in the protective cover through which a shipment can be inserted into the tunnel, this slot being aligned vertically with a receiving space and taking care of a shipment in the conveyor which has the shape of a funnel.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to create a slot insertion of mail in the protective cover which is similar to a mailbox slot with dimensions adapted to receive a non-machineable shipment inserted in the slot according to a position on singing on the width.
  • This insertion slot may also be designed to vertically guide the inserted shipment so that it retains this position until it reaches the receiving space.
  • the edges of the insertion slot define a kind of vertical channel.
  • this channel may be formed by folding the falling edge of the sheet forming the cover on the periphery of the slot.
  • this funnel-shaped space has a bottom defined by a horizontal hearth on which the catch inserted into the slot falls on edge and sides defined by two conveying surfaces which are oriented relative to each other to converge in the conveying direction.
  • the conveying surfaces of this reception and handling space forming a sort of funnel may be two opposite bands mounted on pulleys, one of the two bands being engaged in the convergence zone with the other band. on a pulley axis movable relative to the sole and inclined relative to the vertical so that these two bands can pinch shipments of different thicknesses or shipments having a variation in thickness.
  • the inclination of the movable axis of this pulley can be of the order of 20 degrees while the receiving hearth can extend over a length of about 400 mm, the V shape defined on the floor by these two bands may have an angle of about 30 degrees.
  • This space for receiving and handling manually inserted mail can be interposed between the unstacking device and an image acquisition system for reading postal addresses and therefore its presence does not increase the footprint of the sorting machine. It will be understood that it can be an integral part in practice of the conveyor on edge of the unstacker.
  • This manual feed station can advantageously be part of a tilting (or tilting) station of large format shipments if the sorting machine is adapted more specifically to this category of items. It is known that for this category of items, it may be necessary to tilt them before their passage in the image forming system from a position on vertical edge to a position inclined relative to the vertical or a flat position to prevent them from collapsing on themselves.
  • a sorting machine 1 conventionally equipped with a feed inlet with an unstacking device 2 which feeds a sorting conveyor 3 in which the unstacked items are moved in series one behind the other .
  • This conveyor 3 has a conveyor part which is here interposed between the unstacker itself 2 and a image acquisition system 4 for automatic reading of postal addresses on the surface of shipments to direct shipments to sorting outlets.
  • a carousel 5 bucket 6 which serves to direct large format shipments to sorting outlets 7.
  • the automatic feeding station 8 conventionally comprises a conveyor belt 20 which moves with a pallet 21 along a jogging wall 22 to bring a stack of items P to a vertical unstacking face 23 perpendicular to the direction of rotation. moving the mail stack. Perforated strips 24 are also shown which, in cooperation with suction nozzles, separate the first item from the stack and direct it according to the direction of supply indicated by the arrow 31.
  • the manual feed station 9 comprises a hood 25 forming a kind of tunnel above the conveyor located downstream of the unstacking face 23 and in which the serial consignments are moved in a certain conveying direction (which corresponds here to the direction of the arrow 31).
  • a certain conveying direction which corresponds here to the direction of the arrow 31.
  • This slot is aligned vertically with a space of receiving in the conveyor so that a consignment which is inserted on edge in the slot can fall by gravity directly into the receiving space to be transported in the conveying direction in series with a stream of mail from the station of automatic unstacking 8.
  • the operator indicated by the reference OP placed as shown on the figure 2 is therefore at most ready automatic and manual feeding stations so that it can switch from one to another while minimizing these movements.
  • FIG 3 there is shown in detail the space for receiving and handling a shipment from the insertion slot 26.
  • This space is located here downstream of two opposed motorized wheels 30 called low pressure wheels which are arranged at the output of the unstacking face 23 of the automatic unstacking station 8. These two wheels 30 are thus pinching each item which is unstacked to move it according to the conveying direction indicated by the arrow 31.
  • P1 denotes a mailpiece on edge in position vertical coming from the unstacker which arrives at the point of nip between the two motorized wheels 30.
  • this receiving space of the manual feed station is indicated by the reference 34 and is an integral part of the conveyor on edge of the unstacker.
  • a shipment P2 that originates from the slot 26 (shown in broken lines) located vertically above the receiving space 34 is supported on edge in a vertical position.
  • the shipment P3 is moved by the edge conveyor but in an inclined position. It is therefore clear that this space 34 may be part of a tipping station of shipments.
  • this space 34 for receiving and taking care of the manual feed station has a funnel shape.
  • the bottom of the funnel is defined by a horizontal sole (not shown) on which falls the edge inserted into the slot inserted into the slot 26.
  • the sides of the funnel are defined by two conveying surfaces of the conveyor which are oriented relative to each other to converge towards each other in the horizontal plane at the exit of this space as visible on the figure 3 . These two surfaces can also be inclined relative to each other to converge towards each other in the vertical direction.
  • the two conveying surfaces are represented by two opposite strips 32 (or belts) and 33 engaged on pulleys or rollers such as 35.
  • the first band 32 extends here parallel to the conveying direction 31 while the second band 33 is oriented at an angle with respect to this direction 31 to define a second point of nip of the items which is located on the downstream side of the space 34 for receiving manually inserted items.
  • the pulley 35 disposed at the point of clamping of the strips 32 and 33 and on which the strip 33 is engaged is a pulley with an axis movable in the plane of the horizontal hearth and this axis is additionally mounted inclined with respect to this sole which gives the Tape 33 has an inclined orientation in the vertical direction to define the funnel shape of the space 34.
  • the angle of inclination of the axis of the pulley 35 may be for example about 20 degrees.
  • the pulley 35 As the pulley 35 is movable in the plane of the sole of the conveyor, it can be erased to take care of shipments of different thicknesses (a standard consignment sent by the unstacker 2 followed by a non-mechanizable shipment introduced into the slot 26 ) or shipments of varying thickness.
  • the flow of non-machinable mail items from the insertion slot can be separated from the flow of mail from the automatic feeding station.
  • shipments from the automatic feed station are all processed before or after manual insertion of non-machinable items.
  • each sorting outlet is then equipped with two bins to receive shipments of the bucket carousel.
  • the items sent to a sorting outlet are received in one or other of the bins depending on whether they come from the automatic feeding station or the manual insertion slot, which facilitates the sorting. Subsequent blending of shipments to form the postman's tour.
