- the sorting machine 1 here comprises a first sorting system 2 equipped with sorting outlets 3 with 4 tampers for sorting the letters and a second sorting system 5 equipped with sorting outlet 6 with lockers 7 for sorting the "large" objects. format ".
- the first sorting system 2 is arranged below the second sorting system 5.
- the sorting outlets 3 and 5 extend along the machine to form rows of sorting outlets.
- Mobile carriage 8 is also shown along these rows of sorting outlets.
- the row of sorting outlets 3 to packers 4 is arranged below the row of sorting outlets 6 with compartments 7 so that each sorting outlet 3 of the first system 2 is aligned vertically with a sorting outlet 6 of the second sorting system 5.
- the first sorting system 2 conventionally comprises a feed inlet equipped with an unstacker 9 for the serialization of the items, an acquisition system 10 for automatically reading the mailing address, a conveyor device 11 for exits. sorting machine 3 4.
- a packer 4 postal items are stacked on edge one behind the other to form a stack.
- the stack of mail is held by a movable pallet 17 which can be lifted to extract shipments from the mail stack.
- the second sorting system 5 also comprises a feed inlet equipped with a unstacker 12 for sending the mail in series, an acquisition system 13 for automatically reading the mailing address and a bucket carousel 14 for directing the mailings. to the sorting outlets 6 to the bins 7.
- the unstuck postal items are injected into a bucket 15 of the cup carrousel 14.
- the cup carrousel 14 defining a closed loop path over the sorting outlets 6 with bins 7, the items Postal conveyed by the carousel are dumped by gravity buckets 15 to the lockers 7 by simply opening the bottom of the buckets.
- the first sorting system 2 can be adapted for sorting a spectrum of letter-type postal items extending to C4-format messages defined according to ISO-269 and preferably of a thickness of less than 10. millimeters.
- the second sorting system 5 may be a machine equipped with a bucket carousel with sorting outlets with compartments adapted to store "large format" postal items.
- the sorting system 2 for sorting letters and the sorting system 5 for sorting "large sizes" are arranged relative to each other so that their sorting outlets are matched.
- This mapping means that each bin is arranged in vertical alignment with a corresponding packer 7.
- a logical match is also established by the sorting plan that assigns the same distribution points to a bin and the corresponding packager.
- FIG. 1 there is illustrated an arrangement of sorting outlets in which two bins arranged horizontally adjacent correspond to the width of the packer. That is, two bins are vertically aligned with a packer.
- the sorting plan assigns the same distribution points to each of the bins and to the corresponding packer.
- This special arrangement allows alternating lockers to sort at the same time as the merger of postal items.
- the carriage 8 is shown designed for the recirculation and the merging of the postal items contained in the sorting outlets 3 and 6 of the machine 1.
- the carriage 8 carries an upper plate 21 rotatably mounted on a frame 22 with respect to a vertical axis.
- the frame 22 comprises a guiding armature 23 cooperating with a guiding means 24 fixed to the sorting machine for slidingly moving the carriage along the rows of sorting outlets.
- the guide frame 23 is for example constituted by two rows of free wheels located at different heights on the frame.
- the guide means 24 is for example constituted by two rails extending along the sorting outlets under the packers and arranged at corresponding heights to the rows of wheels of the guide frame. The wheels fit into the rails to guide the carriage 8 along the sorting outlets.
- a truck does not rest on the ground. It is therefore independent of the flatness of the soil of the sorting center. This results in a perfect alignment of the upper plate 21 with the compacting outlets along the entire length of the machine 1.
- the frame is equipped with a handle 25 for hanging a bag intended to contain the postman's tour after merging postal items.
- the upper plate 21 of the carriage 8 comprises a guide ramp 26, a horizontal platform 27 and a support wall 28.
- the platform horizontal is interposed between the inclined wall and the guide rail.
- the guide ramp 26 disposed at one end of the horizontal platform 27 tilts downward away from the platform and forms at its lower end a substantially horizontal glide sole 29 to ensure continuity between the packer and carriage. This continuity is illustrated in Figure 5 in the angular position for the transfer of mail.
- the guide ramp 26 and the gliding sole 29 are inclined with respect to each other so as to retain a storage tank resting on the guide ramp 26 as illustrated in FIG. support 28 is disposed opposite the guide ramp 26 relative to the platform 27.
- the support wall 28 is inclined in the same direction and in a direction opposite to the guide ramp 26 so as to support the postal items disposed on the platform 27.
- the support wall 28 thus tilts upward away from the platform 27.
- the upper plate 21 is equipped with a jogging edge 30 extending vertically upwards, on one side of the guide ramp 26 and extends on the side of the platform 27.
- the horizontal platform is about 250 millimeters by 400 millimeters.
- the guide ramp 26 is about 180 millimeters by 400 millimeters and is inclined about 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal platform.
- the support wall 28 is approximately 170 millimeters by 150 millimeters and is inclined approximately 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal platform.
- the postal items are directed to the packed sorting outlet or the bin sorting outlet corresponding to the distribution point read on the mailpiece.
- the management unit controls the opening of the bottom of a bucket when it is positioned above the bin corresponding to the point of the bucket. distribution read on the "large format” object contained in the bucket. The object slides on a guide ramp 16 inclined relative to the vertical and comes to the bottom of the trap.
- the letters are directed by turnout flaps (not shown) to the sorting outlet corresponding to the read distribution point.
- the letters are stacked on song behind each other to form a stack.
- the postal items must be recirculated in the feed inlet of the machine to undergo a second sorting pass.
- a second sorting pass For the flow of letters, it is proceeded to the establishment of the folds in a storage bin disposed under the packer.
- "large format" objects proceed as follows.
- the mobile carriage 8 is brought in front of the sorting outlet which must be emptied.
- the upper plate 21 of the carriage 8 is rotated about a vertical axis and positioned so that the guide ramp 26, the platform 27 and the support wall 28 are arranged in alignment with the rows of sorting outlets as shown in Figure 3. This is the tray support position.
- the operator is placed on the side of the carriage closer to the sorting outlet with the guide ramp facing him.
- the plate 21 is held in this position by an angular locking stop (not shown).
- the stopper comprises a spring equipped with a ball at its end. The ball engages in a housing formed in the frame 22 to angularly block the plate 21 in this position.
- a storage tank 18, stored on a carriage provided for this purpose is placed on the guide rail 26 and held in abutment against the gliding surface 29.
- the storage tank 18 is thus disposed inclined closer to the sorting outlets as shown in Figure 4. This inclined position of the tray facilitates the insertion and extraction of postal items in and out of the tray.
- the bins 7 are mounted movable in translation along a horizontal axis directed perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the carousel. Accordingly, each rack can be moved between a retracted position in line with the buckets to receive the bucket shipments to an extraction position in which the rack is brought above the corresponding packer for the emptying of large objects Out of the locker. In the retracted position of the bin, an access space to the packer is left free for the operator. In the position extraction, the bin is brought close to the operator facilitating the handling of objects which are then placed flat in the bottom of the storage tank 18.
- the "large format" objects are arranged flat because of their dimensions too large to constitute a pile on edge sufficiently stable. The "large format” objects are then recycled to the unstacker 12 by moving the tray on the cart or placing it on a recycling conveyor.
- a storage bin 18 is used positioned on the carriage provided for this purpose. These shipments are then placed flat in the storage bin 18.
- the flat storage allows to have a stable stack. Indeed, the "large format” mail items tend to collapse on themselves when they are arranged on edge.
- the filled tray 18 is then recycled to the input of the machine to the unstacker 12 for a second sorting pass, for example using the mobile storage carriage external to the machine to the unstacker 9 for a second sorting pass .
- the tray 18 may be disposed on a recycling conveyor (not shown) extending between the sorting outlets and the feed inlet of the machine.
- the operator To empty the letters of the type contained in the packer, the operator lifts the mobile pallet 17 with one hand while holding the front of the stack with the other hand. Then, he moves the pallet at the back of the stack of letters, that is to say in front of the stack of letters, and retrieves the stack of mail that is no longer held by the pallet. Letters are arranged vertically in the storage bin. The dimensions of the letters confer sufficient stability to a stack on edge.
- the postal items are in sequence in the assigned outlets according to the sorting plan.
- the postal items are arranged one behind the other in sequence according to the position of their distribution point in the postman's tour. In other words, shipments are grouped into one packer per distribution point.
- C4 postal items are placed in front of the letters. In this way, C4 format mailings can be used as an interlayer or a visual cue for changing the distribution point in the mail stack.
- the mobile carriage 8 For the emptying of a packer of a sorting outlet at the end of the second sorting pass, the mobile carriage 8 is brought facing the sorting outlet and the upper plate 21 is placed in a particular angular position.
- the upper plate 21 of the carriage 8 is rotated along the vertical axis and positioned so that the guide ramp 26, the platform 27 and the wall of the support 28 are arranged perpendicular to the rows of sorting outlets as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the guide ramp 26, the platform 27 and the support wall 28 are located in the extension of the packer with the gliding sole 29 which is arranged in the continuity of the packer. With this arrangement, the guide ramp 26 is aligned in the extension of the packer to form a continuous surface.
- the guide armature 23 cooperating with the guide rails 24 allows perfect alignment of the guide ramp 26 and the packer along the rows of sorting outlets.
- the plate 21 is held in this position by the angular locking stop.
- the ball engages in another housing formed in the frame 22 to angularly block the plate 21 in this new position.
- the operator then rotates the upper plate 21 so as to place it in another angular position for the merger of the items.
- the guide ramp 26, the platform 27 and the support wall 28 are arranged according to the alignment of the rows of sorting outlets, that is to say to 90 degrees of the angular position illustrated in Figure 5.
- the operator is this time facing the wall
- the plate is held in this position by the locking stop as previously described.
- the operator also places a removable lectern 31 behind the stack of items resting against the support wall 28.
- the lectern 31 illustrated in Figure 6 comprises a base and a support wall which is inclined symmetrically with respect to the wall support 28 of the carriage when the base of the lectern rests on the platform 27.
- the operator then switches the stack of shipments, so that the latter rests against the support wall of the lectern 31.
- the operator has in front of him the stack of mail items stable on edge with, facing him, addresses on shipments, C4 shipments indicating changes in distribution points.
- the operator is placed to view the addresses on the "large format" objects sorted in the bins. This position of the operator facilitates the merge of the items.
- the rack is moved from the retracted position vertically above the cups to the extraction position above the corresponding packer.
- the operator enters the "large format" objects of the rack, reads the postal address registered on the object and inserts it at the position corresponding to its distribution point in the sending stack disposed on the platform of the carriage. This operation is shown in Figure 7d).
- the stack of mailpieces formed according to the postman's turn is then put back on the support wall 28.
- the operator places an elastic around the sending stack by including the support wall 28 to hold the stack in place which facilitates the handling without hindering the extraction of the pile stacked.
- the tour of the formed factor is stored for example in a bag attached to the handle 25.
- the emptying and melting steps are then repeated for all the sorting outlets, thus forming several rounds of the factor.
- the operator moves neither to carry out the emptying step illustrated in FIGS. 7a) and 7b) nor to carry out the melting step illustrated in FIGS. 7c) and 7d).
