[0009]
Prior to the description of the delivery slip issuing and sticking device 1, the envelope as the delivery item a in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described. On the front side (FIG. 2), code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a, and The address and name as the delivery destination information 31 are displayed. Reference numeral 32 denotes code data corresponding to the code data B1 displayed in Arabic numerals. FIG. 3 has a sealing tongue 33 on the back side of the envelope.
[0010]
FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment in which a delivery slip issuing and pasting apparatus 1 issues and pastes a registered mail delivery certificate as a delivery slip used when a sealed letter is sent by registered mail. As shown in FIG. 1, the delivery slip issuance and sticking apparatus 1 transfers a delivery (envelope) a supplied from a supply unit 21 one by one in one direction (from left to right in the figure), and a sorting unit such as a stocker. Issuing a delivery slip that conveys the transfer means 2 comprising a conveyor belt to 22 and code data (described later) expressed as a bar code specified for each delivery on the upstream side in the transfer direction on the transfer means 2 From the apparatus 3 and the delivery form sticking apparatus 4 for attaching the delivery form 16 (registered mail delivery certificate) (see FIG. 4) issued by the delivery form issuing apparatus 3 to the delivery a on the transfer means 2 It will be.
[0011]
The delivery form issuing device 3 is supplied with a delivery a one by one from the feeding unit, and delivers the code data B1 of the delivery a on the upstream side by a bar code reader 6 installed in the conveyor belt of the transfer means 2. The object a is read from the lower surface side with the surface side down, and the information is sent to the control unit 5. And it comprises two sets of printers 7a and 7b that operate under the control of the control unit 5. Under the control of the control unit 5, the delivery slip sticking device 4 uses the support band 8 on which the delivery slips having adhesive means are detachably arranged, and the head surfaces of the printers 7 a and 7 b of the delivery slip issuing device 3. A guide part 10a for separating and pasting the delivery slip from the support band 8 sequentially toward a pair of rolls 9 wound up through the transfer means 2 and an envelope a moving on the transfer means 2; 10b.
[0012]
The control unit 5 receives the code data B1 and the delivery data 31 from the delivery data file D in which delivery data corresponding to the delivery code a and the delivery data file D1 previously attached to the delivery item a are recorded. A storage unit 11 that is sent and stored, a display unit 12 that displays the operating state of all devices under the control of the control unit 5, and an input unit 13 that provides external input information such as manual operation instructions to the control unit 5 are connected. Has been.
[0013]
In the delivery form issuing device 3, the barcode data is read by the barcode reader 6 and the delivery data corresponding to the code data is recorded in advance. The delivery data corresponding to the code data of the delivery item a is retrieved from the file information, that is, from the storage unit 11, and the obtained delivery data is printed on the delivery slip of the support band 8 in the delivery slip pasting device 4. When the delivery slip pasting device 4 separates the printed delivery slip on the transfer means 2 side, the delivery product a from which the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery product a has been read is read out. The delivery slips 16 and 16 with the code data B2 corresponding to are attached. 6a, 6b and 6c are barcode readers for collating the code data B2 and B2 of the delivery slips 16 and 16 attached to the delivery item a and the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a. is there.
[0014]
On the other hand, there are cases where these deliverables a are canceled before delivery, or delivered by another route, etc., and code data of the deliverable a designated for extraction in the process of the delivery slip issuing and pasting apparatus 1 Is input from the input unit 13, and the data can be registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14. Data input of the designated delivery item may be input from the input unit 13 using Arabic numerals, or may be input by another bar code reader or the like if necessary.
[0015]
At the subsequent stage of the barcode readers 6a, 6b, 6c, the pickup box 23 for stocking the designated delivery item a and the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a could not be read by the barcode reader 6. In some cases, the code data B2 and B2 of the delivery slips 16 and 16 affixed to the delivery item a by the barcode readers 6a, 6b and 6c cannot be compared with the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a. A reject box 24 is provided for extracting the waste.
[0016]
When the barcode reader 6 or any of the barcode readers 6a, 6b, and 6c reads the code data registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14, the pickup box 23 is under the control of the control unit 5. And a pick-up driving device 21 for picking up the target delivery item a is provided to constitute pick-up means. In addition, in the reject box 24, if the code data B1 cannot be read by the bar code reader 6 or the collation is bad in the bar code readers 6a, 6b, 6c, the target delivery item a under the control of the control unit 5 An extraction drive device 22 for extracting the ink is provided and constitutes a reject means.
[0017]
FIG. 4 is an example in which the delivery slips 16 and 16 are attached to a position covering the boundary between the sealed letter body and the sealed tongue piece 33. As shown in FIG. The transparent film is bonded to the back surface of the transparent film so that it can be peeled under the adhesive, and the adhesive is applied to the back surface of the transparent film. After being output in this way, it is bonded to the delivery item a via the adhesive on each back surface. Note that the delivery slip 16 on the right side in the figure is separated from the delivery a in the delivery process and is reserved by the post office.
[0018]
FIG. 5 shows a work flow when issuing and pasting the delivery slips 16 and 16. First, a delivery item a in which code data is individually specified is supplied (step 101), the code data B1 is read from the supplied delivery item (step 102), and the delivery data corresponding to the code data B1 is searched. The process proceeds to step (103). If the code data B1 cannot be read as a search result, a reading error (NG) is rejected (step 107). Also, although not described in the flow, even if delivery data is not obtained as a search result, an error is rejected (NG) and the reject process is performed (step 107).
[0019]
Of course, at least code data is attached to the delivery item in advance, and the code data is prepared in a state in which the delivery data (delivery management data relating to the destination, etc., is input separately) is associated with the delivery data. Yes.
[0020]
When the delivery data is searched and a command to output the delivery data is issued, the delivery data is output to the delivery slips 16 and 16 by the command (step 104), and the delivery slips 16 and 16 are affixed to the delivery a. (Step 105).
[0021]
Then, the code data B1 of the delivery item a after step 105 and the code data B2 output to the delivery slip are read and compared (step 106). If there is a mismatch (NG) at this stage, Under the control of the control unit 5, the extraction drive device 22 is driven to extract the delivery item “a” and perform a reject process (step 107).
[0022]
On the other hand, the delivery that is matched (0K) in step 106 is transferred to the next process (step 108). In this step 108, when the code data registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14 is read, the extraction drive device 21 is driven under the control of the control unit 5 to extract the delivery item a and perform pick-up processing ( Step 109).
[0023]
If the code data not registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14 is read in step 108, the code data is sent to the sorting unit 22 in the subsequent stage and is subjected to stack processing while being sorted according to a predetermined number of zip codes (step 110). ).
[0024]
In the above embodiment, two delivery slips are issued, but only one may be provided. Code data read by the code readers 6, 6a, 6b, 6c is not limited to barcodes, but reads Arabic numerals using the OCR method. It may be. Also, the bar code reader 6c for matching is not necessarily provided, the code reader 6a by controlling the transfer timing of the code data read by the code reader 6, also be checked against the code data read by 6b Good.
[0025]
In addition, the deliverable a is shown in an envelope form, and is displayed from the code data B1 window described in the form of a barcode on an internal document or the like, but is not limited to this, Code data may be directly written on the outer surface. Further, the delivery item a may have a certain thickness, and is not limited to an envelope.
[0026]
[Effect of spawning]
As described above, the delivery form issuance / pasting device of the present invention uses the code reading means for the code data attached to the delivery, and the code data to be read is a read error or the read code data. If the corresponding delivery data is not found as a result of the code data search, or if the code data attached to the delivery does not match the code data on the delivery slip, the code data attached to the delivery cannot be read. A delivery item when a delivery item or a delivery slip that is not a regular delivery address is pasted can be reliably taken out by reject means for taking out the delivery item. This not only makes delivery slip issuance and pasting processing extremely reliable, but also improves the efficiency of delivery work without the need for special pick-up work for unqualified deliverables. It is what you play.
