Definitions
- Postal sorting machine comprising pinch conveying means and its method of implementation
- the invention relates to a postal sorting machine comprising pinch conveying means and its method of implementation. It relates more particularly to such a machine that is able to sort both "large format” objects also called “flats", as well as letters. The invention also relates to a method of implementing this sorting machine.
- an envelope that can contain a sheet in A4 or A5 format is a letter having respectively a C4 or C5 format.
- a C4-size envelope has dimensions in width and height of 229 millimeters and 324 millimeters.
- a C5-size envelope has dimensions in height and width respectively of 162 millimeters and 229 millimeters.
- the spectrum of mail items that can be sorted automatically by machines mainly includes: letters up to C5 format and having a thickness of less than 8mm for a weight not exceeding 100g, flat objects called "large format" which can be even bigger than C4 and up, with a thickness of up to 32mm and weight up to 2kg.
- postal sorting machines that are dedicated to different types of mail, letters or large format objects, and postal sorting machines capable of processing both letters and large format objects.
- These machines conventionally comprise a feed inlet with an unstacker for the serialization on edge of postal items, means for recognizing the address of postal items, and a conveyor which directs postal items to sorting outlets according to the recognized address.
- the address means any registration, in the form of letters and / or numbers and / or other signs, on the surface of a shipment for identification.
- the present invention more particularly relates to a conveying system, wherein the items are set in motion by pinching between two conveying members, which are usually belts.
- this conveyance can be operated by means of buckets, which do not apply in contrast to the present invention.
- the postal objects pass in front of optical acquisition means, generally constituted by a camera that forms a digital image of each object having address information.
- optical acquisition means generally constituted by a camera that forms a digital image of each object having address information.
- This digital image is processed in an automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and / or VCS (Video Coding System) address evaluation system.
- OCR Optical Character Recognition
- VCS Video Coding System
- Two solutions can usually be used, which may be combined, in order to support items whose address can not be fully recognized.
- a delay line also called LAR.
- the sorting machine integrates a preliminary conveying zone, between the acquisition camera and the beginning of the sorting area itself.
- the additional journey time of the shipments along this line makes it possible to process unacknowledged shipments upstream.
- This first solution has certain disadvantages, related first of all to the large ground area occupied by the delay line. This is all the more sensitive, it is necessary to be able to access this line, in order to settle there possible jams and to carry out periodic maintenance operations.
- this delay line tends to induce slips of the items that run through it, which requires catching leading to rejections or jams.
- This phenomenon is due in particular to the difference between the respective coefficients of friction, which are of various types of mail, such as for example postcards and paper folds. This is prohibitive for an extended spectrum of mail, for which variations in thickness, size and nature of material are very significant.
- the publication US 2006/0 037 888 discloses a postal sorting machine comprising a destacker postal items, means for recognizing the address of these items, and a conveying area of the items comprising a main loop and shortened loops allowing every mailing to be directed to the sorting exit for which it is intended without having to go around the entire main loop.
- This postal sorting machine does not optimize sorting of postal items whose address can not be fully recognized during a first pass.
- the invention aims to remedy these various disadvantages. It aims in particular to provide a sorting machine which, while having a reduced footprint, ensures a fast and effective processing of unrecognized shipments. It also aims to provide such a sorting machine, which is likely to handle shipments whose spectrum is extensive, while ensuring their mechanical integrity.
- the subject of the invention is a postal sorting machine comprising a destacker, suitable for putting on singing postal items, means for recognizing the address of these items, and a zone for conveying items by pinching, this conveying zone comprising an unstacking zone extending from the unstacker, and a sorting zone having a plurality of sorting outlets, distributed between an upstream sorting outlet adjacent to the unstacker, and a downstream sorting outlet, characterized in what this machine further comprises a recycling zone, connecting the downstream sorting outlet and the upstream sorting outlet, this recycling zone defining, with the unstacking zone, a confluence point situated between the unstacker and the upstream sorting outlet, postal sorting machine further comprising synchronization means, adapted to synchronize movements, on the one hand so-called depilated shipments circulating between the unstacker and the confluence point and, on the other hand, so-called recycled shipments circulating in the area recycling, the synchronization means comprising means for detecting the presence of
- the idea underlying the invention is to use the sorting zone, equipped with its outputs, as a delay line. Under these conditions, it avoids the use of a specific section for this delay line, as in the "online” solution. In addition, the invention eliminates any sorting output specific to unrecognized items, as in the "offline” solution.
- the conveying zone thus forms a loop, due to the presence of the recycling zone mentioned above. This makes it possible to direct the unrecognized shipments directly upstream of the sorting area, which avoids any operation likely to damage them.
- the means for detecting the presence of at least one recycled shipment comprises two presence sensors, arranged on the recycling zone.
- the unstacker is provided with a catch-up system, able to change the gap between two consecutive depilated shipments.
- the synchronization means further comprises means for varying the speed of at least one shipment flowing in the recycling zone and, optionally, in the sorting zone.
- the means for varying the speed comprise at least one first speed variation member placed on the recycling zone, as well as possibly a second speed variation member placed on the sorting zone, between two output series sorting.
- the first speed variation member is placed between the downstream presence sensor and the confluence point.
- the sorting area has two straight branches connected by a half-turn.
- the sorting area has a length greater than 40 meters, and a number of outputs greater than 100.
- the conveying zone forms, in the vicinity of the recycling zone, generally a half-turn whose length is less than 2.5 meters.
- the ratio between the length of the sorting zone and the length of the recycling zone is much greater than 1, in particular greater than 10, in particular greater than 20.
- the subject of the invention is also a method of implementing the above sorting machine, in which the mailpieces are unstacked by means of the unstacker, the recognition means are used so as to recognize the address of these items, at least some of the items whose address has been correctly identified are sent to corresponding sorting outlets and at least the items whose address has not been correctly recognized are circulated in the recycling zone in order to admit them back into the sorting area.
- the presence of at least one recycled shipment is detected by the detection means and the unstacker is operated by the control means, so as to synchronize the respective movements of the unstacked items and recycled items.
- the gap separating the trailing edge of a downstream depilated consignment is identified with the front edge of an upstream recycled consignment, and an intermediate depolled consignment is inserted between this downstream depolled consignment and this upstream recycled consignment if the identified deviation is greater than a theoretical minimum difference.
- a recycled shipment is inserted between two upstream and downstream depilated shipments, and the speed variation means are used to accelerate the recycled consignment so that it is at a distance as close as possible to the minimum theoretical distance with the downstream shipment, and the catch-up system is used so that the upstream shipment is spaced as close as possible to the minimum theoretical distance with the recycled shipment.
- a destacker provided with a retrofit system, identifying the real difference separating the trailing edge of a downstream depot with the front edge of an upstream recycled shipment, determining the theoretical minimum deviation allowing interposing an intermediate depilated shipment, identifying the advance of the front edge, between this actual difference and this minimum deviation and, if this advance is less than a maximum delay value allowed by the speed variation means, the sending is intercalated intermediate depile between this forward depilated shipment and this upstream recycled shipment, then using the speed variation means to delay this recycled shipment of a value corresponding to the advance of its front edge.
- L2 is the length of the intermediate shipment
- Gmin (1-2) and Gmin (2-3) are the minimum differences to be observed between, on the one hand, the trailing edge of the downstream consignment and the front edge of the intermediate consignment and, on the other hand, the trailing edge of the intermediate consignment and the front edge of the upstream consignment,
- the speed variation means are used solely for slowing down the recycled shipments and the two presence sensors are spaced a distance apart
- D '(1 -2) (2 * Gn + Lmax - Ad - Dret), where Gn is the nominal difference between two shipments, Lmax is the maximum length of a shipment, Ad is the difference between, d firstly, the distance traveled, during the period of restart of a stopped consignment at the unstacker, by a recycled consignment traveling at the conveying speed and, secondly, the restart distance of a stopped shipment at level of the unstacker, and Dret is the maximum distance of delay allowed by the means of variation of speed.
- two successive shipments are identified upstream of the second speed variation member intended to take the recycling zone and, in the case where at least one consignment adjacent to these two successive shipments has already been unloaded, the second member is used; speed variation to mutually separate these two successive shipments.

- Figure 2 is a schematic representation, on a larger scale, of a portion of the postal sorting machine illustrated in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation, similar to Figure 2, a postal sorting machine according to a first embodiment of the invention
- Figure 4 is a side view, illustrating on a larger scale a destacker belonging to the sorting machine of Figure 3;
- Figures 5 and 6 are schematic representations illustrating different implementations of the sorting machine of Figures 3 and 4;
- Figure 7 is a schematic representation, similar to Figure 2, a postal sorting machine according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figures 8 to 1 1 are schematic representations, illustrating different implementations of the sorting machine of Figure 7.
- Figure 1 shows a sorting machine for postal items or folds, which is shown schematically. It is equipped with different bodies ensuring the conveying of these items by pinching, in particular by means of usual belts. As recalled above, the invention does not apply to conveying means, bucket type or the like.
- the sorting machine comprises an unstacking zone 1, a confluence point C, an upstream intermediate zone 2, a sorting zone 3 and a recycling zone 4. The routing of the items is indicated by the arrows F in this FIG. .
- the unstacking zone located upstream of the confluence point C, as well as the intermediate zone, located between the confluence point C and the first output S1 of the sorting zone, are of conventional type.
- the unstacking zone is in particular equipped with a unstacker 10 of any suitable type.
- one or other of these zones comprises various equipment, among which an image acquisition device 20, of the camera type, which is indispensable in the context of the present invention.
- Some other equipment not shown is optional, namely inter alia a multiple tap detector, a thickness measuring device, a rigidity detector, a device for rejecting too rigid items, barcode readers, or even printing devices.
- the unstacker 10 is located in the unstacking zone 1.
- the other equipment mentioned above, including the camera 20, may be placed upstream or downstream of the confluence point C.
- placing the camera 20 in the unstacking zone 1, before the confluence point C is advantageous in terms of overall compactness.
- the fact of placing the camera 20 in the intermediate zone 2, after the confluence point C allows the recycled items to pass in front of this camera, which ensures the possibility of additional acquisition of information.
- the acquisition camera 20 is associated with evaluation means 25, shown schematically.
- the combination of 20 and 25 forms address recognition means, in the usual sense.
- the length L1 of the unstacking zone 1, between the outlet of the unstacker 10 and the point C is advantageously less than the length of the recycling zone 4.
- the length L2 of the zone intermediate 2, between the point C and the first sorting output S1 advantageously allows to give an OCR-type response, even when the image acquisition is located after the confluent C. If this was not the case, the first exits may be unusable. Under these conditions, this length has a minimum value advantageously greater than 4 meters, ie a path of at least 1 second at maximum conveying speed.
- the sorting zone 3 which has approximately a U-shape, consists of two straight branches 31 and 33, as well as a half-turn 32.
- the branch 31 is equipped with a first series of sorting outlets. S1 to SM, while the branch 32 is equipped with a second series of sorting outlets SM + 1 to SN, all these outputs being of conventional type.
- the outputs are distributed in a substantially identical manner between the two series.
- L31 and L33 denote the length of each branch, respectively between the outputs S1 and SM, and between the outputs SM + 1 and SN, and L32 the length of the half-turn 32.
- the total length L3 of the sorting zone which corresponds to the sum of the lengths L31, L32 and L33, is advantageously greater than 40 meters.
- the recycling zone 4 extends between the last outlet SN and the confluence point C. It has a length L4 very much smaller than the total length L3 of the sorting zone. Thus, the ratio between L3 and L4 is advantageously greater than 10, especially 20. This ensures that only a small fraction of the machine is not used for sorting shipments.
- the recycling zone 4 defines a half-turn whose length L4 is advantageously less than 2.50 meters. In the illustrated example, this half-turn is entirely formed by the recycling zone. However, for example if the orientation of the unstacker is different from that illustrated, it is possible that the confluence point C is located in the u-turn proper, usually in the downstream part thereof. In the latter case, this half-turn of the conveying zone is then formed, both by the recycling zone 4, as well as by the intermediate zone 2.
- the implementation of the postal sorting machine described above first involves, in a conventional manner, unstacking the items and then the passage of the latter in front of the camera 20. This then forms, in known manner in itself, a digital image of each shipment that is processed by the evaluation means 25, again in the usual way. These operations allow, in most cases, the recognition of the address carried by the items.
- the item in question is directed to a corresponding sorting output S1 to SN.
- the item under consideration takes the conveying loop beyond the last SN exit, namely along the recycling zone towards the confluence point C .
- synchronization means firstly comprise means for detecting the presence of a shipment, in the recycling zone 4.
- sensors B1 and B2 there are two sensors B1 and B2, of any appropriate type.
- the detection means are associated with control means 15, illustrated only in FIG. 2, but which are present in all the embodiments. These control means are capable of acting on the operation of the unstacker 10, in response to information provided by the sensors B1 and B2 above. Finally, as will be seen in more detail in the following, it is advantageous to provide means for changing the speed of shipments in the recycling zone, or even in the sorting area.
- the invention provides for slowing down, or even stopping unstacking, when a shipment is detected on the recycling zone. This operation can be completed by modifying the speed of this sending, usually by braking it. This then allows to insert, judiciously, the recycled shipment between two shipments from the unstacker.
- a first type of conventional unstacker such as that fitted to the Applicant's STAR sorting machine, is used.
- This unstacker is suitable for unstacking the items with a constant distance, namely the distance between the rear edge of the downstream fold and the front edge of the upstream fold.
- this unstacker is not able to change the speed profile of a popped parcel.
- the two detection sensors B1 and B2 are spaced apart by a distance D,
- - Lmax is the maximum length of a fold.
- This predetermined value is for example 328mm, in the case of a flat.
- the upstream sensor B1 detects the arrival of a shipment, it directs a signal via line 16 to the control means 15 which in turn act on the unstacker 10. The latter finishes unstacking the shipment being unstacked and then suspended.
- such an unstacker is equipped with at least one set of rollers January 13, the speed of rotation is variable.
- the nip point 14 is defined as the zone of passage of the items bounded by the set of rollers furthest upstream.
- This unstacker is able to instantly suspend unstacking, on solicitation of control-command, then resume after an additional request.
- the advantage of this device is that it makes it possible to reduce the unstacking interruption time, compared with the first type of unstacker presented above.
- An additional sensor, denoted B1 1, is placed at the right of the pinch point 1 14. It will be noted that the length and the thickness of the mailpiece being unstacked are known when it arrives at B1 1. Moreover, as soon as this occult sending B1 1, it can no longer be stopped.
- the duration of the blocking phase of B1 1 by the sending namely the time taken by the latter to pass entirely in front of B1 1, is predictable and controlled. Indeed, it depends solely on the conveying speed and the length of the consignment considered. It will be noted that, when its front edge reaches the right of B1 1, the sending is driven by this conveying speed.
- the decision to stop or not a shipment is taken, when his front reaches the right of B1 1.
- the stop is implemented according to a predetermined speed profile, to give all shipments an identical stopping distance.
- the restart is performed according to a speed profile also predetermined, to bring all shipments at the conveying speed, after a distance and a time fixed beforehand. Note that if the stop and restart parameters are invariant for a given sequence of the sorting machine, they can be modified from one sequence to another.
- Ad Dr - (Vc * Tr).
- the two cells B1 and B2 are positioned at respective distances D'1 and D'2, with respect to the point C:
- the sending E2 has already obscured the cell B1 1 while the front edge of the recycled mail E3 arrives at the right of the cell B1.
- the unstacking kinematics of E2 are then not modified, so that the latter is directed in a normal manner towards the confluence point C, so as to be interposed between E1 and E3.
- d (1 -3) denotes the threshold value of this difference.
- d (1 -3) is represented equal to ds (1-3).
- L2 is the length of the sending E2
- Gmin (1-2) and Gmin (2-3) are the minimum distances to be observed between the E1 trailing edge and the E2 front edge, and the E2 trailing edge on the other hand and the front edge of E3. These differences are understood in reference to shipments, once placed one behind the other in the sorting area.
- the values of Gmin can, by default, be taken equal to Gn. However, in order to increase the productivity of the sorting sequence, it is possible to choose a value of Gmin less than Gn.
- the person skilled in the art may assign an appropriate value to Gmin depending in particular on the following parameters:
- the sending E2 is then injected in the usual way by the pinch point, namely without stopping. In the opposite case, this sending E2 is stopped, until the rear edge of the recycled sending E3 passes to the right of the cell B2, as in the first embodiment.
- At least one gap management device or GMD (Gap Management Device), is used, capable of modifying the speed of a shipment in the recycling zone, or even upstream in the zone. sorting.
- This device equips for example the STAR sorting machine of the Applicant.
- it is associated with an unstacker provided with a retrofit system, such as that used in the second embodiment presented immediately above.
- a first management device is placed on the recycling zone 4 between the downstream detection cell B2 and the confluence point C.
- This GMD1 is controlled, among others, thanks to two additional cells B3 and B4.
- One of them B3 is disposed on the recycling zone, between the B2 cell and GMD1 itself, while the other B4 is provided on the unstacking zone.
- These two cells B3 and B4 are equidistant from the point of confluence C, namely that the distances D3 and D4 in FIG. 7 are identical.
- FIG. 8 and 9 we will now present a first type of implementation of GMD1, in which the latter is able both to slow down and speed up a recycled shipment.
- the distance between the cells B1 and B2 is identical to that of the second mode above, namely (2 * Gn + Lmax - Ad). It will be seen later that, in another mode of implementation, this distance can be reduced.
- Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the progress of two depilated shipments E1 and E2, as well as a recycled shipment E3. Depending on the phase difference between E2 and E3, it is first necessary to choose which of these shipments will be directed before the other, towards the confluence point C.
- FIG. 8 denotes AR1 the position of the trailing edge of E1, AV3 the actual position of the front edge of E3, AV'3 the theoretical position of this front edge to fulfill condition (Ia), and also ⁇ l advance of the front edge of E3 with respect to this theoretical position. If ⁇ is lower than Dret, we know that the GMD can then delay the sending E3 of a value, such that E3 can be replaced at AV'3. There will then be enough space between E1 and E3 to let E2 intercalate, so that the normal injection of this fold E2 is allowed.
- E3 is delayed by the distance ⁇ , so that its front edge is spaced from the rear edge of E2 according to the gap Gmin (2-3).
- Gmin (2-3) we make tender Gmin (2-3) to Gn, as far as possible. This delay is implemented in a conventional manner, using the B3 and B4 cells.
- d (1-2) is the difference between E1 and E2, ie the distance between the trailing edge of E1 and the leading edge of E2,
- L3 is the length of the sending E3
- Gmin (1 -3) and Gmin (3-2) are the minimum distances to be observed between, on the one hand, the trailing edge of E1 and the front edge of E3 and, on the other hand, the trailing edge of E3 and the front edge of E2. As above, Gmin (1 -3) and Gmin (3-2) are made to Gn as far as possible.
- AR1 denotes the position of the trailing edge of E1, AV3 the actual position of the front edge of E3, AV'3 the theoretical position of this front edge to respect the minimum distance Gmin (1 -3), as well as ⁇ 'the delay of the front edge of E3 with respect to this theoretical position.
- the use of the GMD makes it possible to advance E3, in order to bring it closer to this theoretical position, which is advantageous in terms of productivity. It is known that the GMD has another characteristic distance Dav, which corresponds to the maximum advance that this GMD can give to a shipment by accelerating it.
- GMD1 The second type of implementation of GMD1, called simplified, is based on the very nature of such a GMD. Indeed, it is known that it is much more efficient, in terms of accuracy and amplitude, to apply a deceleration to a shipment, rather than an acceleration.
- GMD1 is now used only in deceleration mode, which brings the cell B1 closer to the confluence point, a distance Dret. As a result, the distance between these two cells is further reduced, since it now has a value
- the first embodiment can be implemented in a simple manner, using a conventional and robust unstacker.
- the second embodiment makes it possible to reduce the value of this distance, by playing on the fact that the unstacker provided with means of catching up the gap, is able to suspend and resume unstacking immediately. Therefore, for the same values of Lmax and Gn, the distance D '(1 -2) can be reduced to 650mm, a reduction of more than 50% compared to the first embodiment.
- the use of such a destacker also makes it possible not to stop this unstacking, in certain circumstances where the unstacker of the first mode would have required to suspend this unstacking, as in particular in the case of Figure 6.
- the third embodiment makes it possible to make up the position of the recycled items, which in certain cases avoids the unstacking.
- the position of the recycled consignment is such that it will be too close to an adjacent depilated consignment at the level of the confluence point, the position catching then ensures it a sufficient distance with this adjacent consignment, in view of authorize their serialization downstream of the confluence point.
- the distance D "(1 -2) is reduced to 450mm, less than a third of the base value.
- GMD 2 another GMD, denoted GMD 2, can be placed between the two sets of sorting outlets, namely at the half-turn 32. More precisely, this GMD2 is typically placed in the downstream part of this half-turn while the sensor B5, which ensures the control, is disposed in the upstream part of this half-turn.
