Description

Reception machine, identification and classification of packages for messaging.

Object of the invention

The present invention as indicated in the above statement refers to a receiving machine, identification and classification of messaging packages, from type comprising an opening for the introduction of the package postal that you want to send, a weigher that identifies the weight of the packages, adequate means for the movement of the package and classification according to the type of urgency and a computer with an interactive program installed whose utility is that of the introduction of the sending data by the user, extraction of the receipt of said operation and the help to the user by All the steps to follow.

The receiving machine, identification and classification of packages for messaging is commanded personalized and direct by the user 24 hours a day and from outside the enclosure of post offices so that users do not have to queue at offices postcards and can send at any time need with the consequent comfort.

Background of the invention

Currently there are different machines for receiving and identifying video films, money (Banks, etc.) in the market, whose purpose is to be able to do it in a personalized way and directly from outside the premises, 24 hours a day by means of an identification card and code of
access.

The elements that make up this type of machines of reception are suitable for each product in each case in particular, having been designed and manufactured proportionally in function of its shape, weight and dimensions of the product, that is, in the case of films, rectangular, flat, light. consistent, symmetrical, in the case of money, rectangular, thin, light, flexible, envelopes to enter.

Description of the invention

Because none of the aforementioned machines It is designed for classification and identification of packages of different dimensions, the reception machine has been devised, identification and classification of messaging packages, which it presents constructive characteristics oriented to provide adequate performance for each package of any shape, measure, weight or destination, customized for each Username.

For this, an area of presentation, informative and help guide of the steps to follow type of those constituted by a touch screen, a keyboard for blind and speakers.

It is also planned, within the margins visible, from a slot for the identification or credit card of the type that make up a code reader device and Magnetic band already existing in the market.

As well as a slot for the extraction of a proof with the barcode corresponding to the operation of shipping, of which they make up a printing device and labeling already existing in the market.

The loading or receiving area of packages is is slightly distanced from the presentation area, and is properly arranged for easy access and proportionally sized for all packages.

Moreover, the loading or receiving area of packages have built-in the lower base of it a Conventional weigher of the type consisting of a cell, previously leveled by an inspector.

It is also planned through the weigher, of suitable means for moving the package.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive of a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a schematic view in perspective of an embodiment of the receiving machine and classification of packages for messaging.

- Figure 2 shows a schematic view in profile of the previous figure in which it can be observed with detail the means of movement of the packages, the labeller and printer, magnetic stripe reader and Weigher

- Figure 3 shows a schematic view in elevation in which the location of all the elements that make up this machine as well as a variant embodiment consisting of a divider plate for two lanes

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the Figures 1, 2 and 3 the reception, identification and classification of messaging packages has a screen touch (1), a keyboard adapted for the blind (2), a gate safety for the introduction of packages (3), the weigher or balance (4) and a means of moving the packages represented by an endless belt (5).

As you can see in the mentioned ones figures, the keyboard adapted for the blind (2) is slightly inclined for access to people who go in chairs of wheels and wish to use it.

A feature of the touch screen (1) is which has built-in speakers (9) so that in case It is necessary to follow up auditively.

Slightly below the mentioned speakers (9) a slot (7) corresponding to the introduction of the credit card and its corresponding reader Magnetic stripe located inside the machine. Sensitively to one side and at the same height it is also planned a second extraction slot (8) for backup and / or receipt with the barcode and its corresponding printing device or labeling, preferably adhesive on one side.

The aforementioned gate (3) has a device of security controlled through the computer program of the machine, which makes it impossible to manipulate said gate until the interactive process has been initiated and introduced the credit card in the corresponding slot (7).

On the other hand we can also observe in the loading area, a conveyor (5) represented by a belt without Finally, in charge of driving these packages outside the limits of the machine to avoid excessive accumulation of packages.

Another feature of the mentioned conveyor (5) is that it is arranged just above the weigher (4) of so that at the same time we deposit the package over the area of heavy, it is also on the endless belt (5) responsible for Shift the package

As you can see in the example of embodiment shown in figure 2, the balance (4) is located in the bottom of the machine, just below the gate (3).

Finally, we see clearly in the figure 3, a variant embodiment based on a divider plate (6) for several lanes, so that we can classify them manually when depositing the load, according to the urgency of the shipment.

Finally, we will locate the computer tower and the electrical wiring system at a safe distance by behind the aforementioned machine, and inside the enclosure by security measures.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as an alteration of the special features of the invention claimed in continuation.
