Description
L'invention concerne le domaine du tri postal et en particulier une machine de tri postal comprenant des sorties de tri dans lesquelles des articles postaux sont accumulés, lesdites sorties de tri étant disposées en alignement suivant une certaine direction longitudinale, cF.
En exploitation, les sorties de tri sont habituellement vidées dans des bacs amovibles placés en dessous ou face aux sorties de tri. Les bacs peuvent ensuite être transportés à l'entrée de la machine pour une nouvelle passe de tri des articles ou être acheminés vers un système de conditionnement en aval du processus de tri. Ces opérations requièrent beaucoup de manipulations qui peuvent être une cause d'un désordre dans la séquence des articles de courrier. Ces opérations font partie de ce qui appelé communément le processus de recirculation des articles de courrier depuis les sorties de tri.In operation, the sorting outlets are usually emptied into removable bins placed under or facing the sorting outlets. The bins can then be transported to the entrance of the machine for a new sorting pass of the articles or be routed to a packaging system downstream of the sorting process. These operations require a lot of manipulations that can be a cause of a mess in the sequence of mail items. These operations are part of what is commonly referred to as the recirculation process of mail items from sorting outlets.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un agencement de machine de tri dans lequel le processus de recirculation des articles de courrier est amélioré.The object of the invention is to provide a sorting machine arrangement in which the recirculation process of the mail items is improved.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une machine de tri postal comprenant des sorties de tri dans lesquelles des articles postaux sont accumulés, lesdites sorties de tri étant disposées en alignement suivant une certaine direction longitudinale, un dispositif de recirculation, des articles postaux stockés dans les sorties de tri, caractérisée en ce que ce dispositif comprenant une bande mobile le long des sorties de tri et sur laquelle sont fixés des tasseaux pour définir une succession de casiers qui font face respectivement aux sorties de tri, chaque casier étant agencé pour le stockage d'articles postaux sur chant prélevés dans une sortie de tri correspondante.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a postal sorting machine comprising sorting outlets in which postal articles are accumulated, said sorting outlets being arranged in alignment along a certain longitudinal direction, a recirculation device, postal articles. stored in the sorting outlets, characterized in that this device comprises a moving strip along the sorting outlets and on which are fixed cleats to define a succession of lockers which face respectively the sorting outlets, each rack being arranged for the storage of postal items on edge taken from a corresponding sorting outlet.
Avec cet agencement, l'opérateur de la machine peut transférer le contenu de chaque sortie de tri dans un casier correspondant de la bande à tasseaux en les rangeant sur chant dans ce casier. Ces tasseaux peuvent être fixés à la bande à l'aide de vis par exemple de façon à pouvoir être démontés et remplacés facilement. Les casiers remplis d'articles de courrier sont amenés automatiquement soit vers l'entrée de la machine, soit par exemple vers un système de conditionnement en aval du processus de tri, par une commande du déplacement de la bande à tasseaux.With this arrangement, the operator of the machine can transfer the contents of each sorting outlet into a corresponding rack of the cleat strip by storing them on edge in this rack. These cleats can be attached to the band using screws for example so that they can be dismantled and replaced easily. The bins filled with mail items are automatically brought either to the entrance of the machine, or for example to a packaging system downstream of the sorting process, by a control of the movement of the strip cleats.
Pour tenir sur chant une pile d'articles dans un casier, on peut avantageusement munir le casier d'une palette à position réglable. Cette palette peut par exemple être une plaque amovible maintenue entre deux tasseaux formant les deux bords latéraux du casier, la distance entre la palette et le fond du casier étant ajustée à la dimension de la pile d'articles de courrier. Le mode de fixation de la palette entre les deux tasseaux latéraux peut être du type pions/trous ou encore languettes/rainures. On comprendra que chaque tasseau comportera une succession de moyens de fixation de la palette répartis sur la profondeur du casier pour permettre un réglage de la position de la palette en fonction de la taille de la pile d'articles de courrier à stocker sur chant dans le casier. Pour transférer des articles de courrier sur chant d'une sortie de tri vers un casier, l'opérateur peut commencer par positionner la palette du casier dans une configuration correspondant à un volume de stockage maximum. Puis l'opérateur place les articles de courrier sur chant dans le fond du casier et vient ensuite régler la position de la palette de telle sorte qu'elle serre ces articles contre le fond du casier. Si ce processus de transfert d'articles de courrier et de réglage de la position de la palette est effectué de façon automatique par un appareil comme un bras robotisé, on pourra prévoir des capteurs de pression par exemple sur la paroi de fond du casier ou sur la palette pour asservir le réglage du positionnement de la palette dans le casier.To stand on edge a stack of articles in a locker, it is advantageous to provide the locker with a pallet with adjustable position. This pallet may for example be a removable plate held between two cleats forming the two side edges of the rack, the distance between the pallet and the bottom of the rack being adjusted to the size of the stack of mail items. The method of attachment of the pallet between the two lateral cleats can be of the type pins / holes or tongues / grooves. It will be understood that each cleat will comprise a succession of pallet fixing means distributed over the depth of the rack to allow adjustment of the position of the pallet according to the size of the pile of mail items to be stored on edge in the pallet. locker. To transfer mail items on the edge of a sorting outlet to a bin, the operator can first position the bin pallet in a configuration corresponding to a maximum storage volume. Then the operator places the mail pieces on edge in the bottom of the rack and then comes to adjust the position of the pallet so that it squeezes these items against the bottom of the rack. If this process of transferring mail items and adjusting the position of the pallet is performed automatically by a device such as a robotic arm, one can provide pressure sensors for example on the bottom wall of the rack or on the pallet to control the adjustment of the positioning of the pallet in the rack.

Comme indiqué plus haut, ce transfert peut se faire de façon automatique par exemple à l'aide d'un bras robotisé apte à positionner correctement la palette de chaque casier en fonction du volume d'articles à stocker.As indicated above, this transfer can be done automatically, for example using a robotic arm capable of correctly positioning the pallet of each rack according to the volume of items to be stored.
De façon générale, la bande à tasseaux définit au moins autant de tasseaux qu'il y a de sorties de tri à servir dans la machine. Par ailleurs, les casiers ont de préférence chacun une largeur L1 selon la direction D d'environ 350 mm qui est équivalente à la largeur L2 des sorties de tri de façon à avoir un alignement relatif entre les sorties et les casiers comme illustré sur la
On peut également prévoir d'utiliser les palettes 43 comme intercalaires de séparation de plis en les faisant circuler dans la machine de tri entre l'entrée de dépilage et les sorties de tri. Plus particulièrement, une palette 43 est une plaque (pas trop rigide) pouvant recevoir un marquage indicatif d'une sortie de tri qui est lisible par machine, par exemple un code-barres, analogue à celui qui est apposé sur un intercalaire. Selon l'invention, à la fin d'un processus de tri précédant un transfert du courrier des sorties de tri vers les casiers, on peut prévoir d'envoyer en entrée de dépilage de la machine de tri un jeu de telles palettes 43 (en nombre suffisant pour qu'elles soient réparties sur toutes les sorties de tri de la machine). Chaque palette 43 est donc déplacée comme un intercalaire (ou séparateur) de l'entrée de dépilage de la machine de tri jusqu'à une sortie de tri dans laquelle sont accumulés en pile des articles postaux. L'opérateur ou un bras articulé de robot n'aura alors plus qu'à saisir cette pile d'articles postaux avec la palette 43 et de placer l'ensemble dans le fond d'un casier de la bande à tasseau (qui correspond à cette sortie) tout en fixant la palette entre les deux bords latéraux du casier. On comprend que cet agencement peut simplifier les manipulations des articles de courrier pour le transfert vers les casiers.It is also possible to use the
Ce système de recirculation d'articles postaux selon l'invention permet donc d'éviter l'usage de bacs de stockage amovibles. Il est particulièrement bien adapté pour des machines de tri postales exploitées pour le tri du petit courrier au format C5 ou C4 par exemple.This recirculation system of postal items according to the invention therefore avoids the use of removable storage bins. It is particularly well adapted for postal sorting machines used for sorting small mail in C5 or C4 format, for example.
