Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for detecting that a postal item is of the open sending type.
  • open mail means here any flat postal object which is generally not enclosed in an envelope and which is constituted by a plurality of sheets interconnected and can deviate from each other in a fan configuration.
  • Such an open mailing may be a bound magazine without an outer envelope.
  • the invention applies to a method for detecting open flat mail items that are moved in a postal processing machine.
  • the postal items are moved serially on edge by being pinched between deformable wheels or belts or bands of a conveyor.
  • a method for detecting open mailings of the type comprising cover pages carrying photographs and thus having a highly contrasting exterior surface.
  • By analyzing images of the surface of these shipments it is possible to detect a noisy background and on this basis we can differentiate these shipments from other shipments.
  • a gloss detector for differentiating envelopes in paper envelopes and envelopes in plastic.
  • the document FR 2 861 322 A1 discloses a method for the processing of postal objects involving such a detector.
  • this method has the disadvantage that open mail (so without envelope or plastic or paper) having a glossy surface can be confused with shipments plastic envelope.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a method of detecting open postal items that makes it possible to more reliably detect these open mailings.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for detecting a postal item of the open mailing type such as a magazine without an envelope, characterized in that it consists in passing the mail on edge in a first conveyor arranged for move the squeeze by holding it tight on substantially the entire height of the shipment, then in a second conveyor arranged to move the pinch sending leaving an upper end of the free delivery to open fan and in that two measurements of the thickness of the consignment are made respectively when the consignment is in the first and in the second conveyor to determine by comparison measurements if the consignment is an open consignment.
  • This method according to the invention can be easily implemented in existing postal processing machines.
  • the invention extends to a device for detecting a mailing of the open type such as a magazine without envelope, characterized in that it comprises a first conveyor arranged to move the sending on edge by pinching by holding tight over substantially the entire height of the shipment and a second conveyor arranged to move the pinch sending leaving an upper end of the free delivery to open fan, a first and a second measuring means to perform a first and a second measurement of the thickness of the consignment when the consignment is respectively in the first and in the second conveyor and a data processing unit arranged to make a comparison of said thickness measurements and to determine on the basis of said comparison if the shipment is an open shipment.
  • the invention also extends to a postal processing machine comprising a device according to the invention, and in particular to a postal sorting machine comprising a unstacker, a sorting conveyor in which the consignments are moved in series on step singing constant and a synchronizer interposed between the unstacker and the sorting conveyor to make up the deviations between two consecutive shipments, and wherein the first conveyor to make the first thickness measurement is part of the synchronizer and the second conveyor to make the second thickness measurement is part of the sorting conveyor.
  • the device according to the invention is designed to detect open flat mail items.
  • the device 1 according to the invention comprises a first portion 1A with a first conveyor 2A arranged to move a consignment 3 in series on edge by pinching by holding it tight over substantially the entire height of the shipment 3 and a second portion 1B with a second conveyor 2B consecutive to the first conveyor 2A, for conveying packages 3 in series on edge by pinching leaving it free to open fanwise at the upper end 3B of the shipment 3.
  • the second conveyor 2B keeps the consignment 3 on a small lower part only of its height, that is to say by pinching it only at its foot 3A so that its upper part is free to bloom fan.
  • the first and second conveyors 2A, 2B may be in the form, for example, of conveyor belts or of low pressure type wheels (finned wheel of elastically deformable elastomer material with a fixed axis).
  • the device 1 comprises, at the first portion 1A, a first means for measuring the thickness of each item when the item is moved in the conveyor 2A.
  • This means may consist of two laser rangefinders 4A, 5A respectively oriented on the two opposite faces 3C, 3D of the shipment 3 with respect to a central reference axis A. These rangefinders are arranged to measure the thickness of the shipment where it is tight in the conveyor 2A, in practice at any point of its height.
  • the device 1 also comprises, at the second portion 1 B, a second means for measuring the thickness of each item when the item is moved in the conveyor 2B.
  • This means may also consist of two laser rangefinders 4B, 5B respectively oriented on the two opposite faces 3C, 3D of the transmission 3 with respect to a central reference axis A. These rangefinders are placed to measure the thickness of the sending in its upper part where the shipment is free to bloom fan since it is not held at this height level by the conveyor 2B.
  • the device 1 may comprise a blowing device 6 arranged to direct a flow of air up and down on the upper end 3B of each item 3 to promote and enhance the fan opening of the upper end 3B of the item 3 in the second conveyor 2B.
  • the guide 7 may for example limit to about 30 millimeters (mm) the spacing of the fan.
  • the thickness measurement signals provided by the measuring means are transmitted to a data processing unit 8 arranged to compare the two measurements of thickness of a shipment 3 made respectively when the consignment is in the first 2A and in the second conveyor 2B and detect if there is a difference in these two measurements that the shipment is an open shipment.
  • the first thickness measuring means 4A, 5A may also be in the form of a laser transceiver which cooperates with the first conveyor 2A.
  • a measuring means such as that described in the patent document FR 2,865,800 .
  • the transceiver is mounted in the deformable rim of a low-pressure wheel of the conveyor 2A and uses the reflection of the laser signal on a reflecting inner wall of the wheel.
  • an optical transmitter 13 which emits a structured light beam on the upper end 3B of the free item 3 to open fan
  • a camera 14 which is arranged to form a digital image of the upper end 3B of the shipment comprising the rays reflected by the sheets of the shipment 3.
  • the camera 14 can be placed above the shipment 3 or on a front or rear side of the shipment 3.
  • the data processing unit 8 will in this case be arranged to analyze the image provided by the camera 14, for example to determine a profile of the upper end of the shipment. The result of this analysis is used to complete the detection by comparison of the thickness measurements in the conveyors 2A and 2B.
  • This image analysis result can for example be used to reinforce or confirm / invalidate the decision to detect an open-type send provided by the differential measurement described above.
  • a postal processing machine using the device 1 according to the invention is more particularly a postal sorting machine comprising a unstacker 20, a sorting conveyor 21, for example with stacked strips, in which the shipments 3 in series on edge are moved at constant pitch (distance between the leading edges of two consecutive shipments ) and a synchronizer 22 interposed between the unstacker 20 and the sorting conveyor 21 which catches gaps in the pitch between 3 consecutive shipments.
  • the first conveyor 2A of the device 1 according to the invention can be an integral part of the synchronizer 22 consisting of a plurality of low pressure wheel trains, in particular multi-stage wheel sets of wheels.
  • the second conveyor 2B of the device 1 according to the invention may form an integral part of the sorting conveyor 21, in particular in the form of a portion of the latter with a single height band.
  • the song is moved on edge in the first conveyor 2A which maintains the sending by tightening it over substantially its entire height, thus preventing it from expanding into a fan.
  • the song is moved on edge in the second conveyor 2B which keeps sending to its lower part 3A only leaving the upper part 3B of the free delivery to bloom fan.
  • the speed of movement of the items in a sorting machine is sufficient to force an open mail to fan out in the second conveyor 2B.
  • the first conveyor 2A will be sized to maintain singing shipments in C4 and C5 format over their entire height.
  • the second conveyor 2B will be sized to leave each shipment free at a height level of about 90 mm measured from the foot of the shipment.
  • the two thickness measurements are made substantially at the same height with respect to the foot 3A of the items of mail and for example at about 150 mm above the foot 3A of the items, which corresponds substantially to the height of a send in C5 format.
  • Several thickness measurements superimposed in height can be envisaged for perform the second thickness measurement in order to take into account an extended spectrum of open items to be detected.
  • the detection device 1 thus makes it possible to increase the detection reliability of the open mailings and can be used on a postal sorting machine in combination with other detection means such as inductive sensors for detecting staples, sensors for example. brightness to detect the contrast of the items or contrast sensors to detect high-contrast covers.
