Definitions

  • the field of the invention is the postal sorting.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a method for merging postal items with mail items already sorted in a machine according to the postman's tour.
  • These postal objects are in particular but not exclusively non-machinable postal objects such as parcels or the like.
  • These postal objects can also come from a postal sorting chain which is different from the sorting chain of mail items.
  • Postal sorting machines and processes used for the preparation of the postman's tour may be fully automatic, without human intervention, or may include steps in which the intervention of an Operator is necessary, particularly in the case of processing of the postman.
  • postal objects that can not be mechanized.
  • patent DE 10 2010 043 389 already discloses a process for fusing non-machinable postal objects with machine-sorted mail.
  • a fusion aid is provided to the operator responsible for performing the merger. This aid consists in displaying on a display screen placed next to the Operator, the image of a reference mail item which must precede or have to follow in the ordered sequence of mail items the postal item to merge.
  • a digital image of the postal object to be merged is formed with a camera, and from the data of the mail items produced in the sorting machine during the previous sorting passes and a sorting plan corresponding to scheduling of these mail items in the sequence, this reference mail item is determined.
  • the Operator scans the sequence of mail items to visually identify the reference mail item, after which it can insert the postal item into the correct place at the right place. orderly sequence of mail items.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages and to meet the expectations indicated above.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a method for merging postal items with mailpieces sorted by machine for distribution according to the tour of the factor, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
  • sorting in sorting outlets of the machine said mail items for distribution according to the mailman's turn and detecting during the sorting of each mail item if this mail item is a mail item adjacent to a postal item at merge into said simulated sequence, and in response to said detection, inserting in the sorting machine an interlayer to direct it automatically to a sorting outlet of the machine which corresponds to the distribution address of said postal item.
  • the idea underlying the invention is therefore to introduce tabs at the time of the last sorting pass mail items at specific locations among these mail items. The mail merge is then simply to substitute each postal item for a slip in the ordered sequence of mail items.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a postal sorting machine in which the method according to the invention is implemented.
  • Figure 2 illustrates more specifically the merger of postal items among the already sorted mail items.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram that illustrates the main steps of the method according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 very schematically illustrates a postal sorting machine 1 with mail items 2 of the letter, magazine or other machineable postal flat object type.
  • the sorting machine 1 conventionally comprises a feed inlet with a unstacker 3 provided with a feed magazine 4, and a sorting conveyor 5 downstream of the unstacker in which the unstacked mail items 2 are moved here on singing in series to sorting outlets 6.
  • the sorting conveyor 5 is equipped with peripherals to identify each item of mail depiled, for example a barcode reader or a camera to form a digital image of each mail item to extract the unique identifier of the mail item in the form of a image signature for example.
  • the sorting machine 1 also comprises a control / command and data processing unit 7 which controls the unstacker 3 and the sorting conveyor 5 for directing and sorting the unstacked mail items 2 to the sorting outlets 6 according to a certain plan. sorting.
  • the distribution address data recognized on the mail items 2 from the images of the mail items are stored in a database indicated by 9 in the figure. 1, this data comprising for example for each mail item, a unique mail article identifier, an image of the distribution address block for the mail article and an indication of the distribution point corresponding to this distribution address. .
  • This distribution address data is therefore normally available for the unit 7 in memory in the database 9 from the first sorting pass.
  • these address data for the mail items are therefore a fortiori known by unit 7.
  • insert tabs are inserted during the last sorting pass of these mail items in the sorting machine 1, at the locations which correspond in sequence to the distribution addresses of these postal objects to be merged in the order which corresponds to the distribution according to the tour of the factor.
  • tabs 10 are shown in Figure 2 inserted among the mail items 2 already ordered in sequence according to the tour of the factor.
  • these spacers 10 are sorted and directed automatically through the sorting conveyor 5 to the sorting outlets 6 among the sorted mail items 2 during the last sorting pass.
  • spacers are therefore flat separators that can pass in the sorting conveyor 5.
  • Each interlayer is introduced according to the invention into the stream F of the mail items between the unstacker and the sorting outlets and the introduction of each interlayer into the sorting conveyor 5 can be done by placing the interlayer in a slot.
  • the unit 7 of the machine before the launch of the last sorting pass of the mail items, the unit 7 of the machine must identify the postal items to be merged with the mail items. For this, the Operator can identify for example each mailpiece using a camera (not shown) to form a digital image of the addressee address block affixed to the object in question. From this digital image, the unit 7 can recognize by OCR the distribution address and store this data in the database 9. When all the postal objects to be inserted have thus been identified, the unit 7 can begin the sorting mail items according to the method of the invention.
  • Postal objects to be merged can also be passed before the last sorting pass of the mail items in a postal sorting machine capable of conveying them and which is equipped with a camera which forms and sends the digital images of the address blocks. recipient to a device OCR for recognizing the destination address of each mailpiece, this data being stored in the database 9.
  • FIG 3 there is shown the main steps of the method according to the invention to insert the tabs 10 of the mail items 2 during the last sort pass.
  • the mail items 2 to be sorted in a last sorting pass for a distribution according to a tour of the postman are in pile on edge for example in the magazine 4 of the unstacker of the sorting machine.
  • the postal distribution addresses of the mail items 2 have already been stored in the database 9 during the first sorting pass of these mail items.
  • the Operator enters at step 100 in the sorting machine the postal distribution addresses of the postal objects 1 1 to be fused illustrated in FIG. 2, in a receptacle 15.
  • These postal objects 1 1 can therefore be non-machinable packages but also mail items that were rejected from a sorting machine, for example because the distribution address was illegible.
  • This address information is therefore available in the sorting machine in advance with respect to the sorting of mail items 2 for a last sorting pass according to the tour of the factor.
  • the entry of these addresses can be done in different ways: image capture of postal objects including the distribution address, then automatic recognition by OCR in the control / command unit; direct entry of addresses of postal objects on keyboard; entered by reading a bar code encoding each distribution address of a postal item; etc ..
  • an ordered sequence of mail items 2 for a distribution according to the tour of the factor is simulated, this simulation being done from the address data recorded in the database 9.
  • This virtual sequence can be seen in memory in the sorting machine as an ordered list of identifiers of mail items for example.
  • the unit 7 is able to determine at 120 the insertion locations in the sequence corresponding to the postal items to merge for distribution with the mail items 2 according to the postman's tour.
  • the unit 7 is able to identify for each determined location a reference mail article in the sequence, this reference mail item being the one that is adjacent to the postal item 1 1 to be merged, for example the one that the precedes in the actual sequence 12 mail items including the merged postal objects.
  • step 130 unstacking one by one the mail items at the input of the sorting machine.
  • the unit 7 checks at 140 if this article of mail is a reference mail article and in case of detection that it is a question of 'a reference mail item, it suspends unstacking in 150.
  • An interlayer 10 is then introduced at 160 into the sorting conveyor 5 to be inserted into the stream F of the mail items 2, for example via an interlayer unstacker as indicated above, and the sorting conveyor. 5 directs this tab 10 in a sorting outlet 6 which corresponds to the distribution address of the corresponding mailpiece 1 1 to merge.
  • the unstacker 3 mail items 2 can then restart.
  • the process continues in a loop for each mail item until the end of the last sort pass that is detected at 170.
  • step 180 the Operator 14 retrieves in the sorting outlets 6 the mail items 2 sorted with the inserts 10 and deposits them, in stack on edge and ordered for a distribution according to the tour of the factor, on the support of fusion 13, for example a worktable.
  • Operator 14 then only has to replace each tab 10 by a corresponding postal item 1 1 to obtain an ordered sequence in which mail items 2 and postal items 1 1 are merged.
  • tabs 10 each provided with a remotely activatable visual identification means for example an LED, from codes respectively associated with postal objects, the issuance of the code of a postal object causing light activation of the LED of the corresponding interlayer 10.
