Description
La présente invention a pour objet un nouveau procédé de distribution de colis en milieu urbain et un dispositif pour mettre en oeuvre ce procédé. The present invention relates to a new method of parcel delivery in an urban environment and a device for implementing this method.
On sait qu'il est nécessaire de distribuer chaque jour dans les agglomérations un très grand nombre de colis ou de paquets, cc qui est coûteux pour le distributeur et qui, de surcrott, gêne considérablement la circulation des véhicules en raison du fait que les véhicules de livraison ne peuvent trower de place de stationnement et interrompent la circulation pendant leurs opérations. We know that it is necessary to distribute every day in built-up areas a very large number of packages or bundles, cc which is costly for the distributor and which, moreover, considerably hinders the circulation of vehicles due to the fact that vehicles delivery can not trower a parking space and interrupt traffic during their operations.
La présente invention vise à résoudre ce problème en éliminant dans une large mesure les inconvénients précités. The present invention aims to solve this problem by largely eliminating the aforementioned drawbacks.
Le procédé selon la présente invention est en particulier apte à résoudre, de manière satisfaisante, le problème de la livraison des produits vendus par correspondance qui implique, dans une économie moderne, que le produit acheté soit livré très rapidement après sa commande, c' est-à-dire généralement dans les vingt-quatre ou quarante huit heures qui suivent la commande. The method according to the present invention is in particular capable of satisfactorily solving the problem of the delivery of products sold by correspondence which implies, in a modern economy, that the product purchased is delivered very quickly after its order, it is that is to say generally within twenty-four or forty eight hours after the order.
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé pour la distribution de colis ou de paquets en milieu urbain, caractérisé par le fait que l'on identifie chaque colis, par exemple avec un code-barres ; que lton fait connattre au destinataire l'identification du colis qui lui est destiné ; que l'on groupe les colis en fonction de leur point de destination ; que l'on transporte les colis ainsi regroupés sur leur lieu de destination ; que l'on introduit les colis ainsi transportés dans un dispositif récepteur de colis qui comporte des moyens pour enregistrer l'identification de chaque colis et des moyens pour stocker chaque colis en gardant en mémoire l'endroit de son stockage ; et que le destinataire du colis introduit l'identification du colis dans le dispositif récepteur, ce qui provoque la remise automatique du colis à son destinataire. The present invention relates to a method for the distribution of packages or packages in an urban environment, characterized in that each package is identified, for example with a barcode; that lton makes known to the addressee the identification of the package intended for him; that the packages are grouped according to their point of destination; that the packages thus grouped are transported to their place of destination; that the packages thus transported are introduced into a package receiving device which comprises means for recording the identification of each package and means for storing each package while keeping in memory the location of its storage; and that the recipient of the package enters the identification of the package in the receiving device, which causes the automatic delivery of the package to its recipient.
Conformément à l'invention, l'identification est avantageusement constituée par un code-barres qui est apposé sur le colis et qui est également imprimé sur la lettre adressée au destinataire du colis pour lui demander de prendre livraison de l'envoi qui lui est destiné. According to the invention, the identification is advantageously constituted by a barcode which is affixed to the package and which is also printed on the letter addressed to the recipient of the package asking him to take delivery of the shipment intended for him. .
Le code-barres apposé sur le colis présente l'avantage de pouvoir être facilement lu sans risque d'erreur par le dispositif récepteur de colis, ce qui lui permet de stocker le colis et de mettre en mémoire l'endroit où il l'a stocké. De même, le code-barres apposé sur la lettre adressée au destinataire du colis peut être lu par le dispositif récepteur de colis, ce qui lui permet de vérifier qu'il contient bien le colis concerné et dans cette hypothèse de le retrouver et de le remettre automatiquement à son destinataire. The barcode affixed to the package has the advantage that it can be easily read without risk of error by the package receiving device, which allows it to store the package and store the location where it was stored. stored. Likewise, the barcode affixed to the letter addressed to the addressee of the package can be read by the package receiving device, which allows it to verify that it contains the package concerned and in this case to find it and to automatically deliver to its recipient.
Dans une variante, la lettre adressée au destinataire peut comporter un code numérique ou alphanumérique que le destinataire inscrit sur un clavier placé sur le dispositif récepteur de colis et qui joue le même rôle que le code-barres. Dans ce cas, la lettre peut être remplacée par un message téléphonique par exemple. In a variant, the letter addressed to the recipient may include a numeric or alphanumeric code that the recipient enters on a keyboard placed on the package receiving device and which plays the same role as the barcode. In this case, the letter can be replaced by a telephone message for example.
Dans une variante de l'invention, le destinataire du colis peut utiliser pour en prendre possession, le code magnétique porté sur sa carte de crédit, code qui a été préalablement communiqué à l'expéditeur, lequel l'a utilisé pour l'identification du colis. In a variant of the invention, the addressee of the package can use to take possession of it, the magnetic code carried on his credit card, code which was previously communicated to the sender, who used it to identify the parcel.
Dans cette hypothèse, la lecture de la carte de crédit peut à la fois réaliser le débit du compte du titulaire de la carte pour le réglement du prix du colis et remettre le colis à son destinataire, ce qui assure un paiement automatique. In this case, reading the credit card can both debit the account of the card holder for the payment of the package price and deliver the package to its recipient, which ensures automatic payment.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif récepteur de colis est avantageusement commandé par un micro-ordinateur qui gère le stockage et la restitution des colis et qui permet de rendre compte à distance à l'expéditeur des colis qui restent en souffrance au-delà d'un délai prédéterminé. According to the invention, the package receiving device is advantageously controlled by a microcomputer which manages the storage and return of the packages and which makes it possible to report remotely to the sender of the packages which remain overdue beyond a predetermined period.
La présente invention a également pour objet un dispositif récepteur de colis utilisable pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé qui vient d'être décrit, ce dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte une combinaison : une une pluralité d'emplacements de stockage susceptibles de recevoir des colis de dimensions maximales standardisées ; des moyens permettant de transporter un colis entre une ouverture d'accès et n'importe quel emplacement de stockage des moyens de lecture de l'identification des colis ; des moyens permettant d'amener un colis introduit dans l'ouverture d'accès, jusqu a un emplacement de stockage libre ; une mémoire permettant d'enregistrer la position de chacun des colis amenés à leurs emplacements de stockage ; des moyens permettant de vérifier si un colis est ou non à un quelconque emplacement de stockage ; et des moyens extrayant, si tel est le cas, le colis de son emplacement de stockage et l'amenant à l'ouverture d'accès afin que son destinataire puisse en prendre possession. The present invention also relates to a package receiving device usable for implementing the method which has just been described, this device being characterized in that it comprises a combination: a plurality of storage locations capable of to receive packages of maximum standardized dimensions; means for transporting a package between an access opening and any storage location means for reading the identification of the packages; means for bringing a package introduced into the access opening to a free storage location; a memory making it possible to record the position of each of the packages brought to their storage locations; means for verifying whether or not a parcel is in any storage location; and means extracting, if such is the case, the package from its storage location and bringing it to the access opening so that its recipient can take possession of it.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les moyens d'identification du colis sont constitués par des code-barres qui sont lus par des dispositifs laser du dispositif récepteur des colis. In a particular embodiment, the package identification means consist of bar codes which are read by laser devices from the package receiving device.
Dans une variante perfectionnée de l'invention, chaque colis comprend dans son code d'identification celui de la carte de crédit du destinataire et le dispositif récepteur de colis comporte des moyens permettant la lecture de cette carte de crédit pour à la fois remettre au destinataire le colis qui lui est destiné comme indiqué ci-dessus et débiter le compte bancaire du destinataire du montant du prix du colis. In an improved variant of the invention, each package includes in its identification code that of the recipient's credit card and the package receiving device comprises means allowing the reading of this credit card to both deliver to the recipient the package intended for him as indicated above and debit the recipient's bank account for the amount of the package price.
Il est clair que le procédé et le dispositif qui viennent d'être décrits pour la distribution de colis peuvent également être utilisés pour la collecte des colis en milieu urbain. It is clear that the process and the device which have just been described for the distribution of parcels can also be used for the collection of parcels in an urban environment.
Dans cette hypothèse les étapes du procédé s'effectuent en sens inverse. Quant au dispositif, il peut être utilisé simultanément pour la distribution et la collecte de colis. In this hypothesis, the process steps are carried out in reverse. As for the device, it can be used simultaneously for the distribution and collection of packages.
Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va en décrite maintenant à titre d'illustration un mode de réalisation pris comme exemple et représenté sur le dessin annexé. In order to better understand the invention, there will now be described by way of illustration an embodiment taken as an example and shown in the accompanying drawing.
Sur ce dessin,
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation d'un dispositif récepteur de colis, selon l'invention.On this drawing,
- Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of a package receiving device according to the invention.
- la figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe selon II-II de la figure I, et
- la figure 3 est un schéma représentant le circuit de distribution de colis selon l'invention.FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view along II-II of FIG. I, and
- Figure 3 is a diagram showing the package distribution circuit according to the invention.
On a représenté sur les figures I et 2 un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif récepteur de colis. There is shown in Figures I and 2 an embodiment of a package receiving device.
Ce dispositif se présente sous la forme d'un parallélépipède délimité par des parois lisses et comportant une owerture d'accès 2. This device is in the form of a parallelepiped delimited by smooth walls and comprising an access opening 2.
Ce parallélépipède est placé sur un socle 3 et peut être installé par exemple sur un trottoir ou en un autre endroit accessible au public. This parallelepiped is placed on a base 3 and can be installed for example on a sidewalk or in another place accessible to the public.
Les dimensions du parallélépipède sont fonction du nombre de colis qu'il doit recevoir et elles tiennent compte des normes urbaines. The dimensions of the parallelepiped depend on the number of packages it must receive and they take into account urban standards.
Par exemple, le dispositif récepteur de colis peut avoir une hauteur de 2 m à 2,50 m, une largeur de 2 ou 3 m et une épaisseur de 1m à 1,50 m. For example, the package receiving device can have a height of 2 m to 2.50 m, a width of 2 or 3 m and a thickness of 1 m to 1.50 m.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, le dispositif récepteur 1 comporte sur chacun de ses grands côtés une pluralité de casiers 4 destinés à recevoir et à stocker chacun un colis. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the receiving device 1 comprises on each of its long sides a plurality of compartments 4 intended to receive and store each a package.
Le milieu du dispositif récepteur est occupé par un manipulateur de colis 5 monté sur des roues 6 de manière à pouvoir se déplacer sur les rails 7. Ce manipulateur 5 est monté sur un cadre vertical 8 de manière à pouvoir s'élever ou s'abaisser tout en se déplaçant sur les rails 7, de sorte qu'il peut venir se situer en face de n'importe lequel des casiers 4. The middle of the receiving device is occupied by a package manipulator 5 mounted on wheels 6 so as to be able to move on the rails 7. This manipulator 5 is mounted on a vertical frame 8 so as to be able to raise or lower while moving on the rails 7, so that it can come to be in front of any of the lockers 4.
On a également représenté sur la figure 2 comment une fourche coulissante 9 montée sur le manipulateur 5 peut s'engager dans l'une des deux cases en face desquelles se trouve le manipulateur 5 pour y placer un colis ou bien l'en extraire. FIG. 2 also shows how a sliding fork 9 mounted on the manipulator 5 can engage in one of the two boxes in front of which the manipulator 5 is located in order to place a package there or else extract it.
On voit donc que le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit permet d'amener le manipulateur 5 en face de l'ouverture d'accès 2 pour y prendre un colis qui y a été déposé et aller placer ensuite ce colis dans n'importe lequel des 95 autres casiers que comporte le dispositif, sous la réserve que ce casier soit inoccupé. It can therefore be seen that the device which has just been described makes it possible to bring the manipulator 5 opposite the access opening 2 to take a package which has been deposited there and then go to place this package in any one of the 95 other lockers in the device, provided that this locker is unoccupied.
De même, par un mouvement inverse, le dispositif manipulateur 5 peut extraire le colis placé dans n'importe lequel des 95 casiers 4 pour l'amener à l'ouverture d'accès 2. Similarly, by a reverse movement, the handling device 5 can extract the package placed in any of the 95 compartments 4 to bring it to the access opening 2.
Conformément à l'invention, ce dispositif comporte des moyens d'identification des colis qui permettent d'identifier un colis placé dans l'ouverture d'accès 2 et de mettre. en mémoire l'identification de ce colis ainsi que le casier dans lequel il a été placé. According to the invention, this device includes means for identifying packages which make it possible to identify a package placed in the access opening 2 and to place. in memory the identification of this package as well as the locker in which it was placed.
De même, le dispositif comporte un enregistreur d'identification des colis auquel le destinataire d'un colis peut fournir l'identification du colis concerné afin que le dispositif le lui restitue. Likewise, the device includes a package identification recorder to which the recipient of a package can provide the identification of the package concerned so that the device can return it to him.
Pour cela le dispositif vérifie que le colis ainsi identifié est bien contenu dans un casier de stockage et il extrait le colis de ce casier pour l'amener à l'ouverture d'accès 2 où le destinataire en prend possession. For this, the device verifies that the package thus identified is indeed contained in a storage locker and it extracts the package from this locker to bring it to the access opening 2 where the recipient takes possession of it.
Le destinataire fournit au dispositif l'identification de colis concerné en tapant un code numérique ou alphanumérique ou bien en faisant lire par le dispositif l'identification du colis indiqué, par exemple sous forme de code-barres, sur la lettre que l'expéditeur a adressée au destinataire. The recipient provides the device with the identification of the package concerned by typing a numeric or alphanumeric code or by having the device read the identification of the indicated package, for example in the form of a barcode, on the letter that the sender has addressed to the recipient.
On a représenté sur la figure 3 un schéma de distribution selon l'invention d'articles vendus par courrier ou par téléphone. FIG. 3 shows a distribution diagram according to the invention of articles sold by mail or by telephone.
L'usine 10 qui commercialise les articles crée un code d'identification II correspondant à un colis 13 destiné à un destinataire 12. The factory 10 which markets the articles creates an identification code II corresponding to a package 13 intended for a recipient 12.
Ce code d'identification qui est, en l'espèce, un code-barres est apposé sur le colis 13 qui contient l'article vendu ainsi que sur une lettre 14 qui est adressée au destinataire 12 du colis. This identification code which is, in this case, a bar code is affixed to the package 13 which contains the item sold as well as on a letter 14 which is addressed to the recipient 12 of the package.
Le colis est ensuite regroupé avec tous ceux qui ont le mreme point de destination de manière à être transporté dans un véhicule 15 qui peut amener, par exemple de nuit ou à un moment où la circulation est faible, les colis ainsi groupés jusqu'au dispositif 1 qui a été représenté sur les figures I et 2. The package is then grouped with all those who have the same destination point so as to be transported in a vehicle 15 which can bring, for example at night or at a time when traffic is light, the packages thus grouped up to the device 1 which has been shown in FIGS. I and 2.
Il suffit alors de présenter dans l'ouverture d'accès 2 successivement chacun des colis 13 pour que le dispositif récepteur de colis lise l'identification portée sur le colis soua forme de code-barres, prenne ce colis en mémoire et le stocke dans un casier également mis en mémoire. It then suffices to present successively each of the packages in the access opening 2 so that the package receiving device reads the identification carried on the package in the form of a bar code, takes this package in memory and stores it in a locker also stored.
Le camionneur peut ainsi en peu de temps introduire successivement dans le distributeur 1 tous les colis destines à ce point de -distribution. The trucker can thus in a short time successively introduce into the distributor 1 all the packages intended for this point of distribution.
Le destinataire 12 qui a reçu la lettre d'envoi du colis (lettre sur laquelle est apposé le code-barres identifiant le colis) présente cette lettre devant le dispositif de lecture du dispositif récepteur de colis 1. The recipient 12 who has received the parcel sending letter (letter on which is affixed the barcode identifying the parcel) presents this letter before the reading device of the parcel receiving device 1.
Le dispositif 1 vérifie alors qu'il contient bien le colis en question et va le prendre dans sa case de stockage pour l'emmener dans l'orifice 2 où le destinataire peut en prendre possession. The device 1 then checks that it contains the package in question and will take it from its storage box to take it to the orifice 2 where the recipient can take possession of it.
Dans une variante, par exemple, en cas de commande téléphonique, l'usine identifie le colis en indiquant un code numérique ou alphanumérique au destinataire 12 qui introduit ce code dans le dispositif en le frappant sur un clavier, ce qui provoque également la remise du colis. In a variant, for example, in the event of a telephone order, the factory identifies the package by indicating a digital or alphanumeric code to the recipient 12 who enters this code into the device by typing it on a keyboard, which also causes delivery of the parcel.
Dans une variante plus perfectionnée, le destinataire donne à l'usine lors de la commande le numéro d'identification de sa carte de crédit qui est apposé de manière codée sur le colis. In a more sophisticated variant, the recipient gives the factory when ordering the identification number of his credit card which is affixed in a coded manner to the package.
Pour se faire remettre le colis, l'utilisateur introduit alors sa carte de crédit dans le dispositif I qui la lit et la lui restitue. To have the parcel delivered, the user then inserts his credit card into device I which reads it and returns it to him.
Puis après avoir vérifié qu'il contient bien le colis concerné, le dispositif récepteur amène alors le colis à l'ouverture d'accès 2 et provoque le débit du compte bancaire du destinataire du montant correspondant au prix du colis.Then after having checked that it contains the package concerned, the receiving device then brings the package to the access opening 2 and causes the debit of the recipient's bank account of the amount corresponding to the price of the package.
te mode de réalisation et de mise en oeuvre qui viennent dette décrits ci-dessus ne présentent aucun caractère limitatif et il est clair qu'ils pourront recevoir toutes modifications désirables sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention. The embodiment and implementation which come from the debt described above are in no way limiting and it is clear that they can receive any desirable modification without departing from the scope of the invention.
Par exemple, il va de soi que le procédé et le dispositif qui vient entre décrit peuvent être utilisés non seulement pour la distribution oyais aussi pour la collecte des colis. For example, it goes without saying that the method and the device that comes between described can be used not only for distribution but also for collecting packages.
De meme, on comprend que le dispositif récepteur de colis peut être réalisé de manières différentes de celle qui a été décrite à condition de remplir les fonctions qui ont été définies ci-dessus. Likewise, it is understood that the package receiving device can be produced in different ways from that which has been described provided that it fulfills the functions which have been defined above.
