  • the invention relates to a postal sorting machine for sorting at the same time different categories of postal items such as letters and "large format" objects.
  • the postal sorting machine comprises at least one row of sorting outlets and a carriage for manual handling of stacked shipments outside the sorting outlets, as described in EP-A-1757374 .
  • a sorting machine comprises a feed inlet with a destacker for the serialization of postal items, an image acquisition system for automatic address reading, and a conveyor which directs the shipments to sorting outlets according to the address read and the sorting plan.
  • the sorting outlets are for example stacking devices or "tampers" in which the postal items are stacked on edge in a longitudinal direction one behind the other to form a stack.
  • the sorting outlets may for example be constituted by bins in which the items fall by gravity from a bucket carousel or are directed by a switch flap in the case of a flat conveyance.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a sorting machine with a handling trolley of mailpieces which is ergonomic, and which facilitates the re-circulation and the merging of mail flow to prepare the postman's tour.
  • the subject of the invention is a sorting machine for postal items such as letters and "large format" objects comprising at least one row of sorting outlets and a trolley for handling mail items in a stack. outside the sorting outlets, characterized in that the carriage is slidably mounted on the machine along the said row of sorting outlets and door a substantially horizontal plate rotatably mounted relative to the carriage along a vertical axis to occupy at least two angular positions offset by 90 degrees.
  • the plate comprises a guide ramp, a horizontal platform and an inclined support wall serving as a desk, the horizontal platform being interposed between the inclined wall and the guide ramp, said plate being arranged to occupy a first angular position in which the guide ramp is in the continuity of a sorting outlet to allow the sliding movement of stacked shipments of this sorting outlet to the platform of the tray.
  • the plate occupies a third angular position offset by 90 degrees relative to one of said two angular positions.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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 on the figure 5 in the angular position for mail transfer.
  • 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. figure 4 .
  • the support wall 28 is disposed opposite to the guide ramp 26 with respect 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 is inclined upwardly 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 support wall 28 is approximately 170 millimeters by 150 millimeters and is inclined approximately 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal platform.
  • sorting machine 1 The implementation of the sorting machine 1 is described below with reference to a sorting process in two sorting passes to prepare the tour of the factors according to a predefined sorting plan.
  • 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 line with the rows of sorting outlets as shown in FIG. 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 tilted closer to the sorting outlets as shown on the 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.
  • a packer 4 For example in a packer 4, 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. For each distribution point in a packer, 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 28 are arranged perpendicularly to the rows of sorting outlets as shown in FIG. figure 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.
  • 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 raises the movable pallet 17 with one hand while holding the front of the stack with the other hand. Then, he moves the pallet to the back of the mail stack to extract mail.
  • the operator holds the stack on edge and slides it on the surface of the packer, on the guide rail 26 as illustrated on the figure 7a ), then on the platform 27 to rest in stack on edge against the support wall 28 which then serves as a desk as shown on the figure 7b ).
  • the addresses written on each item are all oriented towards the support wall 28.
  • the stack of items extracted has undergone a translational movement of packer to the wall 28 without modification of orientation. It should be noted that during this step of emptying the packer, the operator is placed on one side of the carriage near the packer.
  • 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 90 degrees from the angular position illustrated on the figure 5 .
  • the operator is this time facing the support wall 28.
  • 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 on the figure 6 comprises a base and a support wall which is inclined symmetrically with respect to the support wall 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 on the figure 7d ).
  • the operator does not move to perform the emptying step illustrated on the Figures 7a) and 7b ) or to perform the illustrated merge step on the Figures 7c) and 7d ).
