Description

本発明は、複数の封入物（例えば，帳票や金券）などが封入された封筒を検査するための技術に関し、更に詳しくは、重量を用いて，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a technique for inspecting an envelope in which a plurality of inclusions (for example, forms and vouchers) are enclosed, and more specifically, the weight is used to inspect the excess and deficiency of the inclusions enclosed in the envelope. Related to technology.

封筒に封入物を封入して配送する場合、封入物の配送ミスを防止するために、封筒に封入された封入物に過不足がないことを何からの手法により検査することが求められている。   When an enclosure is enclosed and delivered, in order to prevent delivery errors of the enclosure, it is required to inspect the enclosure enclosed in the envelope by using any method. .

封筒に封入する封入物の検査をする際，機械的に読み取り可能なコード（例えば，バーコード）を封入物に付与し，封筒に封入する封入物を管理することが一般的な手法として用いているが，特許文献１では，機械的に読み取り可能なコードに加え，封入物の重量を利用して，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する発明が開示されている。
When the inspection of the enclosure to be sealed in an envelope, mechanically readable code (e.g., bar code) assigned to the enclosure, to manage the enclosure enclosing the envelope is used as a general technique However, Patent Document 1 discloses an invention for inspecting an excess or deficiency of an enclosure enclosed in an envelope using a weight of the enclosure in addition to a mechanically readable code.

特許文献１で開示されている発明では，機械的に読み取り可能なコードであるバーコードを帳票から読み取り、このバーコードにエンコードされている情報に基づいて，封入物の一つである帳票，帳票と共に封入する金券及び封筒の重量を特定し，帳票及び金券を封入した後の封筒の重量の計測値と，特定した帳票，金券及び封筒の重量を合計した理論値を比較して，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する。   In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, a barcode, which is a mechanically readable code, is read from a form, and based on the information encoded in the barcode, a form or form that is one of the inclusions. The weight of the voucher and envelope to be enclosed is specified, and the measured value of the weight of the envelope after enclosing the form and the voucher is compared with the theoretical value of the total weight of the identified form, voucher and envelope, and enclosed in the envelope Check for excess or deficiency of the sealed inclusions.

特開２００５-１２２５４５号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-122545

しかし，特許文献１で開示されている発明では、所定数の封入物の総重量を所定数で除算することで一つの封入物の重量を算出していたが、同じ封筒に封入する封入物の種別によって重量が極端に異なる場合，重量が重い封入物の重量誤差内に，重量が軽い封入物の重量が含まれてしまうと、重量が軽い封入物を封筒に封入した枚数を正確に検査することができなかった。   However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, the weight of one enclosure is calculated by dividing the total weight of the predetermined number of enclosures by the predetermined number. When the weight varies greatly depending on the type, if the weight of the lighter weight of the inclusion is included in the weight error of the heavy weight of the inclusion, the number of the lighter weights of the inclusion enclosed in the envelope is accurately inspected. I couldn't.

例えば，帳票及び金券を封入物として同じ封筒に封入する場合，一枚の金券の重量よりも帳票の重量が極端に重いと，帳票の重量の誤差範囲に一枚の金券の重量が含まれてしまい，所定枚数の金券が封筒に封入されているか否かを正確に検査することができなかった。   For example, when a form and a voucher are enclosed in the same envelope as an inclusion, if the weight of the form is extremely heavier than the weight of a single voucher, the weight of the single voucher is included in the error range of the form weight. Therefore, it has not been possible to accurately inspect whether or not a predetermined number of cash vouchers are sealed in an envelope.

そこで，本発明は，同じ封筒に封入する封入物の種類によって重量が極端に異なる場合であっても，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を正確に検査できる装置及び方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention provides an apparatus and method capable of accurately inspecting the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope even when the weight is extremely different depending on the type of enclosure enclosed in the same envelope. Objective.

上述した課題を解決する第１の発明は，封筒ならびに前記封筒に封入する封入物を重量計で計測した重量を利用して，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する装置において，封筒ならびに前記封筒に封入する封入物の重量は封入物の種類毎に複数の重量計で計測する装置であって，封入前に封入物と封筒の重量を封入物の種類毎に複数の重量計で計測し前記封入物の個体識別情報に関連付けて封入物の重量を記憶する封入物検査手段と，前記封筒に封入された前記封入物の前記個体識別情報に関連付けられて記憶された前記封入物の重量の合計値と前記封筒の重量を加算した値と，前記封入物封入後の封筒の重量を比較する封筒検査手段を備えた封筒検査装置である。
A first invention for solving the above-described problem is an apparatus for inspecting an excess and deficiency of an enclosure enclosed in an envelope by using an envelope and a weight measured with a weighing scale for the enclosure enclosed in the envelope. In addition, the weight of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope is a device that measures with a plurality of weighing scales for each type of enclosure, and before the enclosure, the weight of the enclosure and the envelope is measured with a plurality of weighing scales for each type of enclosure. and enclosure checking means for storing the weight of the measured enclosure in association with individual identification information of said enclosure, said enclosure that is associated and stored in the individual identification information of said enclosure which is sealed in the envelope an envelope inspection device including a value obtained by adding the weight of the envelope and the total value of the weight, the envelope inspection means for comparing the weight of the envelope after the enclosure enclosed.

上述した第１の発明によれば，丁合数に合わせた封入物と封筒の重量を封入物の種類毎に重量計で封入前に計測し，封筒に封入する封入物の重量の計測値を用いて，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を封筒毎に検査することで，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足の検査に利用される封入物の重量は統計値ではなく実測値になるため，同じ封筒に封入する封入物の中に，重量の重い物と重量の軽い物があった場合でも，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を正確に検査できるようになる。   According to the first invention described above, the weight of the enclosure and the envelope matched to the number of collations is measured for each type of enclosure before weighing with the weigh scale, and the measured value of the weight of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope is measured. By using each envelope to inspect the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope, the weight of the enclosure used for the examination of the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope is not a statistical value but a measured value. Therefore, even if there are heavy and light weights in the same envelope, it is possible to accurately inspect the excess and deficiency of the enclosed material.

また，非接触個体識別で利用される個体識別媒体（例えば，バーコードやＲＦＩＤ）にエンコードされた個体識別情報を読み取る個体識別情報読み取り手段を封用検査装置に備えさせ，封入物に付与された個体識別媒体から個体識別情報を読み取るようにすることが望ましい。   In addition, the seal inspection apparatus is provided with an individual identification information reading means for reading the individual identification information encoded in an individual identification medium (for example, barcode or RFID) used for non-contact individual identification, and is attached to the inclusion. It is desirable to read the individual identification information from the individual identification medium.

更に，第２の発明は，前記第１の発明の封筒検査装置により封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する方法であって，前記封筒検査装置により前記封入物の個体識別情報に関連付けて封入物の合計値と前記封筒の重量を加算した値を記憶する工程と，前記封筒に封入された前記封入物の個体識別情報に関連付けられて記憶された前記封入物の重量の合計値と前記封筒の重量を加算した値と，前記封入物封入後の封筒の重量を比較することで，前記封筒に封入された前記封入物の過不足を検査する工程と，が順に実行されることを特徴とする。
Further, the second invention is a method for inspecting the excess and deficiency of the inclusions enclosed in the envelope by the envelope inspection apparatus of the first invention, and is associated with the individual identification information of the inclusions by the envelope inspection apparatus. Storing a value obtained by adding the total value of the inclusion and the weight of the envelope; and a total value of the weight of the inclusion stored in association with the individual identification information of the inclusion enclosed in the envelope; a value obtained by adding the weight of the envelope, said by comparing the weight of the envelope after enclosure enclosing the steps of inspecting the excess and deficiency of the enclosure which is sealed in the envelope, that but executed sequentially the shall be the feature.

本発明によれば，封入物の重要を計測したときに，重量が軽い封入物の重量が，重量が重い封入物の重量誤差内に含まれてしまう，という課題が解決される。したがって，同じ封筒に封入する封入物の種別によって重量が極端に異なる場合であっても，封筒に封入された封入物の過不足を正確に検査できる。
According to the present invention, when the importance of an enclosure is measured, the problem that the weight of an enclosure with a light weight is included in the weight error of an enclosure with a heavy weight is solved. Therefore, even when the weight is extremely different depending on the type of enclosure enclosing the same envelope, Ru can accurately inspect the excess and deficiency of inclusions encapsulated in an envelope.

ここから，本願発明の実施形態について，本願発明の技術分野に係わる当業者が，本願発明の内容を理解し，本願発明を実施できる程度に説明する。   From this, the embodiments of the present invention will be described to the extent that those skilled in the art of the present invention can understand the contents of the present invention and implement the present invention.

図１は，本実施形態の構成を説明する図である。図１では，同じ封筒３に封入する封入物として，重量の重い冊子体５と重量の軽い金券４を例示している。また，図１では，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足を検査する装置として，複数の重量計２が接続された封筒検査装置１を図示している。   FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, a heavy booklet 5 and a light cash voucher 4 are illustrated as the inclusions enclosed in the same envelope 3. Further, FIG. 1 shows an envelope inspection apparatus 1 to which a plurality of weighing scales 2 are connected as an apparatus for inspecting the excess and deficiency of the enclosed material enclosed in the envelope 3a after the encapsulation.

冊子体５の枚数が同じであっても，冊子体５の重量にはバラツキが生じてしまうため，本実施形態のように，重量の重い冊子体５と重量の軽い金券４を同一の封筒３に封入する場合，冊子体５の重量分布内に一枚の金券４の重量が含まれると，冊子体５と複数の金券４を封入後の封筒３ａの重量を測定しても，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された金券４の枚数を正確に検査することができなくなってしまう。   Even if the number of the booklets 5 is the same, the weight of the booklets 5 varies, so that the heavy booklet 5 and the light cash voucher 4 are connected to the same envelope 3 as in this embodiment. When the weight distribution of the booklet 5 is included in the weight distribution of the booklet 5, even if the weight of the envelope 3 a after sealing the booklet 5 and the plurality of gold notes 4 is measured, It becomes impossible to accurately inspect the number of the vouchers 4 enclosed in the envelope 3a.

そこで，図１で図示した封筒検査装置１は，少なくとも，丁合数に合わせた封入物（ここでは，冊子体５と金券４）の重量を封入物の種類毎に重量計２で計測し，基準値と比較しそれぞれ正しいものかを検査した後，非接触個体識別に用いられる個体識別媒体（例えば，バーコードやＩＣタグ）によって，封入物（ここでは，冊子体５）にエンコードされた個体識別情報を読み取り，個体識別情報に関連付けてこれらの重量を記憶しておく。   Therefore, the envelope inspection apparatus 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 measures the weight of the inclusions (here, the booklet 5 and the cash voucher 4) at least according to the number of collations with the weigh scale 2 for each type of inclusion, Individuals that have been compared to the reference value and checked for correctness, and then encoded in the inclusion (here, booklet 5) using an individual identification medium (eg, barcode or IC tag) used for non-contact individual identification The identification information is read, and these weights are stored in association with the individual identification information.

そして、封入物（ここでは，冊子体５及び金券４）を封筒３に封入する際，封筒３に封入する封入物（ここでは，冊子体５）の個体識別媒体にエンコードされた個体識別情報を読み取り，この個体識別情報に関連付けられた重量の合計値に封筒３の重量を加算した値を求め，封入後の封筒３ａの重量とこの値を比較することで，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足を検査する。なお，封筒３の重量は，丁合数に合わせた封入物の重量を測定するときに測定してもよく，また，封筒３の単位重量を用いてもよい。   When the inclusion (here, the booklet 5 and the cash voucher 4) is enclosed in the envelope 3, the individual identification information encoded in the individual identification medium of the inclusion (here, the booklet 5) enclosed in the envelope 3 is stored. The value obtained by adding the weight of the envelope 3 to the total weight associated with the individual identification information is obtained, and the value is compared with the weight of the envelope 3a after the sealing, so that the envelope 3a is sealed. Check for excess or deficiency of the inclusions. In addition, the weight of the envelope 3 may be measured when the weight of the enclosure corresponding to the number of collations is measured, or the unit weight of the envelope 3 may be used.

このように，丁合数に合わせた封入物（ここでは，冊子体５と金券４）と封筒３の重量を封入物の種類毎に重量計２で封入前に計測し，封筒３に封入する封入物の重量の計測値を用いて，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足を検査することで，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足の検査に利用される封入物の重量は統計値ではなく実測値になるため，同じ封筒３に封入する封入物の中に，重量の重い物（ここでは，冊子体５）と重量の軽い物（ここでは，金券４）があった場合でも，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足を正確に検査できるようになる。   As described above, the weight of the inclusion (here, the booklet 5 and the cash voucher 4) and the envelope 3 corresponding to the number of collations is measured before filling with the weighing scale 2 for each kind of the inclusion, and the envelope 3 is enclosed. By using the measured value of the weight of the inclusion, the excess or deficiency of the inclusion enclosed in the envelope 3a after the enclosure is inspected, and this is used for the inspection of the excess or deficiency of the inclusion enclosed in the envelope 3a after the enclosure. Since the weight of the enclosed material is not a statistical value but actually measured, among the enclosed material enclosed in the same envelope 3, a heavy material (here, booklet 5) and a light material (here, a gold note) Even in the case of 4), it is possible to accurately inspect whether there is an excess or deficiency of the enclosed material enclosed in the envelope 3a after the encapsulation.

なお，図１では，封筒検査装置１に重量計２を接続することで，重量計２の計測値がオンラインで封筒検査装置１に入力されるように構成しているが，重量計２の計測値がオフラインで封筒検査装置１に入力されるように構成することもできる。   In FIG. 1, it is configured that the measurement value of the weighing scale 2 is input to the envelope inspection apparatus 1 online by connecting the weighing scale 2 to the envelope inspection apparatus 1. It can also be configured such that the value is input to the envelope inspection apparatus 1 offline.

図２は，封入後の封筒３ａの内容を検査する封筒検査装置１のブロック図である。封入後の封筒３の内容を検査する封筒検査装置１は，ハードウェアとして，ＣＰＵ（CPU: Central Processing Unit）、メインメモリであるＲＡＭ（RAM: Random Access Memory）、外部記憶装置として大容量のデータ記憶装置，外部デバイスとデータ通信するための入出力インターフェース、ネットワーク通信するためのネットワークインターフェース、ディスプレイ，文字入力デバイス及びポインティングデバイスなどを備えたコンピュータで実現される装置で，ソフトウェアで実現される機能として，封筒３に封入される丁合数に合わせたときの封入物の重量と，封入物の単位重量と丁合数から算出する基準値を比較することで，封入物の過不足を封入物の種類毎に検査した後，封入物の過不足が無ければ，封入物にエンコードされた個体識別情報に関連付けて封入物の重量を記憶する封入物検査手段１０と，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物に記憶された個体識別情報に関連付けられて記憶された封入物の重量の合計値と封筒３の重量を加算した値と，封入後の封筒３ａの重量を比較することで，封入後の封筒３ａに封入された封入物の過不足を検査する封筒検査手段１１と，封入物に付与された個体識別媒体から個体識別情報を読み取る個体識別情報読み取り手段１２が備えられ，本実施形態では，封入物検査手段１０及び封筒検査手段１１には重量計２が接続されている。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 that inspects the contents of the envelope 3a after sealing. The envelope inspection apparatus 1 that inspects the contents of the envelope 3 after sealing is a hardware (CPU: Central Processing Unit), a main memory RAM (RAM: Random Access Memory), and an external storage device with a large amount of data. As a function realized by software, a device realized by a computer having a storage device, an input / output interface for data communication with an external device, a network interface for network communication, a display, a character input device, a pointing device, etc. , By comparing the weight of the enclosure when matched to the number of collations enclosed in the envelope 3 with the reference value calculated from the unit weight of the enclosure and the number of collations, If there is no excess or deficiency of the inclusion after inspection for each type, it is related to the individual identification information encoded in the inclusion. The enclosure inspection means 10 for storing the weight of the enclosure, and the total value of the enclosure weight and the envelope stored in association with the individual identification information stored in the enclosure enclosed in the envelope 3a after the enclosure 3 is compared with the weight of the envelope 3a after the encapsulation, and the envelope inspection means 11 for inspecting the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope 3a after the encapsulation is provided to the enclosure. The individual identification information reading means 12 for reading the individual identification information from the individual identification medium is provided. In the present embodiment, the weighing instrument 2 is connected to the enclosure inspection means 10 and the envelope inspection means 11.

また，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０及び封筒検査手段１１が利用する情報を記憶するデータベースとして，封筒３に封入する封入物毎に，封入物の単位重量を記憶した封入物ＤＢ１４と，個体識別情報に関連付けて，個体識別情報がエンコードされた封入物を封入する封筒３の丁合仕様として丁合枚数を封入物の種類毎に記憶した丁合仕様ＤＢ１５（DB: DataBase）と，個体識別情報に関連付けて，封入物及び封筒３の重量を計測した値が記憶される重量ＤＢ１５がデータ記憶装置に設けられている。   In addition, as a database for storing information used by the enclosure inspection means 10 and the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1, an enclosure DB 14 that stores the unit weight of the enclosure for each enclosure enclosed in the envelope 3; A collation specification DB 15 (DB: DataBase) that stores the number of collations as the collation specification of the envelope 3 that encloses the enclosure in which the individual identification information is encoded in association with the individual identification information, and the individual In association with the identification information, a weight DB 15 is provided in the data storage device in which values obtained by measuring the weights of the enclosure and the envelope 3 are stored.

ここから，封筒３に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する封筒検査装置１の動作を説明しながら，封筒検査装置１に備えられた封入物検査手段１０及び封筒検査手段１１について詳細に説明する。   From here, it demonstrates in detail about the enclosure inspection means 10 and the envelope inspection means 11 with which the envelope inspection apparatus 1 was equipped, explaining operation | movement of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 which test | inspects the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed with the envelope 3. FIG. To do.

図３は，封筒３に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する封筒検査装置１の動作を示したフロー図で，図３（ａ）は，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０によって実行される動作のフロー図で，図３（ｂ）は，封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１によって実行される動作のフロー図である。   FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 that inspects the excess and deficiency of the inclusions enclosed in the envelope 3, and FIG. 3A is executed by the inclusion inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1. FIG. 3B is a flowchart of the operation executed by the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1.

まず，図３（ａ）を参照しながら，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０によって実行される動作について説明する。封筒３に封入物を封入する前に，封入物を封入する封筒３毎に，封筒３の丁合仕様に合わせて，封筒３に丁合する封入物の組合せが決定され，図３（ａ）の手順は，封筒３に丁合する封入物の組合せ毎に実行される。ここで，封筒３に丁合する封入物の組合せとは，丁合仕様に含まれる丁合枚数に合わせて選択された封入物の組合せを意味する。   First, referring to FIG. 3 (a), the operation executed by the enclosure inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 will be described. Before enclosing the enclosure 3 with the enclosure 3, the combination of the enclosures to be collated with the envelope 3 is determined for each envelope 3 with which the enclosure 3 is encapsulated, in accordance with the collation specification of the envelope 3. This procedure is executed for each combination of inclusions collated with the envelope 3. Here, the combination of inclusions collated with the envelope 3 means a combination of inclusions selected according to the number of collations included in the collation specification.

封入物の組合せが決定されると，個体識別媒体が付与されている封入物を対象とし，この個体識別媒体に記憶された個体識別情報が，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２によって読み取られ，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２から封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０へ個体識別情報が送信される（Ｓ１）。   When the combination of inclusions is determined, the individual identification information stored in the individual identification medium is read by the individual identification information reading means 12 for the inclusion to which the individual identification medium is applied, and the individual identification information is read. Individual identification information is transmitted from the reading means 12 to the inclusion inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 (S1).

なお，封筒検査装置１に備えられた個体識別情報読み取り手段１２の形態は，非接触個体識別に利用され，封入物（ここでは，冊子体５）に付与された個体識別媒体の形態に依存し，個体識別媒体がバーコードならば個体識別情報読み取り手段１２は，図１で図示したようなバーコードリーダ１ａになる。また，個体識別媒体がＲＦＩＤならば個体識別情報読み取り手段１２はＲＦＩＤリーダになる。   The form of the individual identification information reading means 12 provided in the envelope inspection apparatus 1 is used for non-contact individual identification and depends on the form of the individual identification medium attached to the inclusion (here, the booklet 5). If the individual identification medium is a barcode, the individual identification information reading means 12 becomes the barcode reader 1a as shown in FIG. If the individual identification medium is RFID, the individual identification information reading means 12 is an RFID reader.

個体識別媒体に記憶された個体識別情報が送信されると，封筒３に丁合する封入物の組合せに含まれる封入物の重量が封入物の種類毎に重量計２によって読み取られ，更に，本実施形態では，組合せに含まれる封入物を封入する封筒３の重量が重量計２によって読み取られ，これらの重量が封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０へ重量計２から送信される（Ｓ２）。   When the individual identification information stored in the individual identification medium is transmitted, the weight of the inclusion contained in the combination of inclusions collated with the envelope 3 is read by the weigh scale 2 for each type of inclusion, In the embodiment, the weight of the envelope 3 that encloses the inclusions included in the combination is read by the weighing scale 2, and these weights are transmitted from the weighing scale 2 to the inclusion inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 (S2). .

この手順で対象となる組合せに含まれる封入物及びこれらの封入物を封入する封筒３の重量が送信されると，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０は，封入物の種類毎に封入物の重量と基準値を比較して，封入物の種類毎に封入物の過不足がないか検査する（Ｓ３）。   When the inclusions included in the target combination in this procedure and the weight of the envelope 3 that encloses these inclusions are transmitted, the inclusion inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 performs the inclusion for each type of the inclusion. The weight is compared with the reference value, and it is inspected whether there is an excess or deficiency of the inclusion for each kind of the inclusion (S3).

封入物の種類毎に封入物の重量と基準値を比較する際，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０は，丁合仕様ＤＢ１３を参照して，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２から送信された個体識別情報に関連付けられて記憶されている封入物の丁合枚数を封入物の種類毎に取得すると共に，封入物ＤＢ１４を参照して，封入物の単位重量を封入物の種類毎に取得する。   When comparing the weight of the inclusion and the reference value for each type of inclusion, the inclusion inspection means 10 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 refers to the collation specification DB 13 and transmits the individual transmitted from the individual identification information reading means 12. The collated number of inclusions stored in association with the identification information is acquired for each type of inclusion, and the unit weight of the inclusion is acquired for each type of inclusion with reference to the inclusion DB 14.

そして，この手順で対象となる組合せに含まれる封入物毎に，封入物ＤＢ１４から得られた封入物の単位重量に丁合仕様ＤＢ１３から得られた丁合枚数を乗算することで基準値を算出した後，重量計２から送信された封入物の重量を比較する。   Then, for each inclusion included in the target combination in this procedure, the reference value is calculated by multiplying the unit weight of the inclusion obtained from the inclusion DB 14 by the number of collations obtained from the collation specification DB 13. After that, the weights of the inclusions transmitted from the weighing scale 2 are compared.

封入物の種類毎に封入物の重量と基準値を比較し，封入物の重量と基準値の差が許容値以内であれば，封入物に過不足がないと判断し，封筒検査装置１の封入物検査手段１０は，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２によって読み取られた個体識別情報に関連付けて，封入物及び封筒３の重量を重量ＤＢ１５に登録して（Ｓ４），この手順は終了する。   Compare the weight of the inclusion and the reference value for each type of inclusion, and if the difference between the weight of the inclusion and the reference value is within the allowable value, it is determined that there is no excess or deficiency in the enclosure The inclusion inspection means 10 registers the weight of the inclusion and the envelope 3 in the weight DB 15 in association with the individual identification information read by the individual identification information reading means 12 (S4), and this procedure ends.

次に，図３（ｂ）を参照しながら，封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１によって実行される動作について説明する。なお，図３（ｂ）で図示した手順は，封筒３に丁合する封入物の組合せ毎に実行される。   Next, the operation executed by the envelope inspection unit 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the procedure illustrated in FIG. 3B is executed for each combination of inclusions collated with the envelope 3.

封筒３に封入された封入物の過不足を検査するとき，個体識別媒体が付与されている封入物を対象とし，この個体識別媒体に記憶された個体識別情報が，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２によって読み取られ，個体識別情報読み取り手段１２から封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１へ個体識別情報が送信される（Ｓ１０）。   When inspecting the excess or deficiency of the inclusions enclosed in the envelope 3, the individual identification information stored in the individual identification medium is processed by the individual identification information reading means 12 for the inclusions provided with the individual identification medium. The individual identification information is read, and the individual identification information is transmitted from the individual identification information reading means 12 to the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 (S10).

個体識別媒体に記憶された個体識別情報が送信されると，封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１は，この個体識別情報に関連づけられている封入物及び封筒３の重量を重量ＤＢ１５から検索し，これらの重量の合計値を算出する（Ｓ１１）。   When the individual identification information stored in the individual identification medium is transmitted, the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 searches the weight DB 15 for the weight of the enclosure and the envelope 3 associated with the individual identification information, The total value of these weights is calculated (S11).

また，この手順で対象となる組合せに含まれる封入物が封筒３に封入されると，封入後の封筒３の重量が重量計２で測定され，封入後の封筒３の重量が重量計２から封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１へ送信される（Ｓ１２）。   Further, when the inclusions included in the target combination in this procedure are sealed in the envelope 3, the weight of the envelope 3 after the sealing is measured by the weigh scale 2, and the weight of the envelope 3 after the sealing is determined from the weight scale 2. It is transmitted to the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 (S12).

封入後の封筒３の重量が送信されると，封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１は，封入物及び封筒３の重量の合計値と封入後の封筒３の重量を比較することで，封入後の封筒３に封入された封入物の過不足を検査し（Ｓ１３），この手順は終了する。   When the weight of the envelope 3 after sealing is transmitted, the envelope inspection means 11 of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 compares the total value of the weight of the envelope and the envelope 3 with the weight of the envelope 3 after sealing. Excess or deficiency of the enclosed material enclosed in the envelope 3 is inspected (S13), and this procedure ends.

なお，封入物及び封筒３の重量の合計値と封入後の封筒３の重量を比較して，封入後の封筒３に封入された封入物の過不足を検査する際，封筒検査装置１の封筒検査手段１１は，封入物及び封筒３の重量の合計値と封入後の封筒３ａの重量の差が許容値以内であれば，封入後の封筒３ａの内容は正常であると判定する。なお，この許容値は，最も軽い封入物の重量を参照し，最も軽い封入物の重量よりも小さい値に設定しておくとよい。 In addition, when comparing the total value of the weight of the inclusion and the envelope 3 with the weight of the envelope 3 after the enclosure, and checking the excess and deficiency of the enclosure enclosed in the envelope 3 after the enclosure, the envelope of the envelope inspection apparatus 1 checking means 11, if the enclosure and the difference in weight of the envelope 3 a after the sum and inclusion of the weight of the envelope 3 is within the tolerance, the contents of the envelope 3 a after encapsulation is determined to be normal. This allowable value should be set to a value smaller than the weight of the lightest enclosure with reference to the weight of the lightest enclosure.
