BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention issues a delivery certificate such as a delivery certificate and a delivery slip necessary for transferring a delivery along a physical distribution route in postal delivery and home delivery services, and delivers this delivery slip. The present invention relates to a delivery slip issuing / pasting device for sticking to a product.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to deliver a delivery by mail delivery or home delivery service, a delivery certificate such as a delivery certificate used for registered mail or a delivery slip used in the delivery business is created and attached to the delivery. Then, the delivery processing is performed. In this delivery slip, the delivery recipient and the delivery information such as the delivery destination and the sender are described, or
It has a stamp field for receipt stamps, and by bringing back the delivery slip, it is possible to confirm that the delivery person has completed the delivery process and manage delivery reliably. In addition, when creating this delivery slip, the delivery address of the delivery, the delivery address, the delivery phone number, the delivery, the sender's address, the sender's name (name),
The sender's telephone number and the handling address of the delivery destination were handwritten with information such as the post office code and the arrival code of the courier.

[0003]

Therefore, if there are a large number of deliveries, it will take a lot of time and effort to create these delivery slips, and the delivery slips to be attached to the deliverables will be mistaken for other deliveries. Since it cannot be reliably delivered after it has been pasted, we attempted to develop a delivery ticket issuing and pasting device that can automatically issue and apply delivery tickets to a large number of deliverables. However, if a large amount of deliverables is handled, accidents such as inclusions that should have been originally encapsulated in the deliveries being processed or being processed are dropped off, and damages to the inclusions occur. It may be shipped with some abnormalities such as the attachment of relics. The work of taking out the abnormal delivery products during these processes is extremely complicated, and the work efficiency is significantly reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a delivery slip issuing and pasting device that can easily check the inclusions in the delivered deliveries and can easily take out the delivery slips even when a lot of deliveries are issued and pasted. It is what

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the delivery slip issuing and pasting device of the present invention is a delivery data file storage means for storing in advance code data attached to a delivery and delivery data corresponding to this code data. And a code reading means for reading the code data of the delivered article with the code data along an appropriate transfer route for transferring the delivered article, and the delivery data corresponding to the read code data. The delivery form is automatically attached to the delivery item by providing delivery form issuing means for printing out the corresponding delivery data by searching from the above and issuing delivery form, and delivery form attaching means for attaching the issued delivery form. A device for issuing and pasting delivery slips for processing, in which inclusion detection information registration for pre-registering and storing inclusion detection information in deliveries A step, the presence or absence of inclusions according to the inclusion detection information on the transfer route of the delivery, or inclusion detection means for detecting an abnormality, and the presence or absence of inclusions of the delivery by the inclusion detection means, or When an abnormality is detected, a pickup means for taking out the delivered product is provided at a predetermined position on the transfer route of the delivered product.

[0005]

The inclusion detection information to be included in the delivery is registered in advance, and the inclusion detecting means arranged on the transfer route of the delivery detects the inclusion of the inclusion according to the inclusion detection information. When the presence or absence or abnormality is detected, the delivery product is picked up by the pickup means provided at a predetermined position on the delivery route while the delivery item is being transported on the delivery route.

9) In this step 109, when the code data registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14 is read, the extraction drive device 21 is controlled under the control of the control unit 5.
Is driven to pick up the delivered product a for pickup processing (step 110).

In step 109, the designated delivery storage unit 14
When the code data not registered in (1) is read, the code data is sent to the sorting unit 22 in the subsequent stage, and the stack processing is performed while sorting by a predetermined number of postal codes (step 111).

In the above embodiment, the inclusion detection information registration means does not necessarily have to store all the number of deliveries so as to correspond to each deliverable, and handles the deliveries of the same weight for each desired unit. If so, the measurement value of the weight measuring device may be input and registered from the input unit 13 such as a keyboard. Further, the inclusion detection information registration means and the inclusion detection means do not necessarily have to be based on weight, and conventionally known detection means such as magnetic detection,
The information may be registered using information that can be detected magnetically and electrically using an electromagnetic detection means or the like.

Further, the delivery a is shown in the form of an envelope and is displayed from the code data B1 window written in the form of a bar code on an internal document, but is not limited to this. Instead, the code data may be directly written on the outer surface. The delivered product a may have a certain thickness and is not limited to an envelope.

[0026]

[Effect of Gaze] As described above, in the delivery slip issuing and pasting device of the present invention, inclusion detection information to be included in a delivery is registered in advance and placed on the transfer route of the delivery. When the inclusion detecting means detects the presence or absence of inclusion of the inclusion or the abnormality according to the inclusion detection information, the pickup means provided at a predetermined position on the transfer route of the delivery transfers the delivery. Since it is quickly collected during transportation, it is possible to reliably prevent accidents in which the delivered items are shipped without inclusions, and the delivery work efficiency is significantly improved without requiring special take-out work in the process of issuing and attaching the delivery form. However, it is effective in practical use.
