Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid jam in a gate mechanism, by detecting whether the shape of a paper sheet during its passing through a tentative gate interferes with a gate driving shaft, and controlling the carrying direction according to the output information from a detector. SOLUTION: A mail is taken out of a mail supplier 1 by a separating mechanism 2, and carried through a mail route 3. Its address is read by a reading part 4, and a stacking stacker is determined from its reading result. Furthermore, a detector 5 detects whether or not the mail interferes with a gate driving shaft. When the mail interferes with the gate driving shaft, the stacker which stacks the mail is changed into a reject stacker 23 for only mails which interfere with the gate driving shaft. The rejected mail is not stacked in the reject stacker 23 for only mails which interfere with the gate driving shaft, by other causes.

Referring now to FIG. 4, a description will first be given of a sample example in which postal matter generated in the related art may interfere with the gate driving shaft.

First, a mechanism in which a postal matter interferes with the gate driving shaft when the transport direction is changed by the gate mechanism and a jam occurs will be described.

As shown by the arrows A and B in FIG. 2, there are two types of routes through which the mail passes through the gate.

When the vehicle passes through the route A, the gate 22 is closed as shown by a solid line in accordance with an instruction from the main control unit 34 in FIG. Since the mail 31 goes straight as it is, there is little deformation and no jam occurs.

However, when passing through the route B, when the gate 22 is open as shown by the broken line, the mail 31 turns along the opened gate 22, so that the postal matter 31 is harder than when passing through the route A. The object 31 is greatly deformed. At this time, if the hardness of the postal matter 31 is uniform left and right, the manner of bending is also uniform left and right, and no jam occurs.

As in the case of the mail 31 shown in FIG. 4, there is a boundary between the gate and the gate where the contents 44 are contained and the mail is not contained. The mechanism causes a jam.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of paper sheets that interfere with the gate drive shaft and cause a jam. The mail 31 is being conveyed in the direction of the arrow 45, but is about to be turned in the direction of the arrow 46 by the gate 22. At this time, the portion of the envelope 43 where there is no content 44 is easily bent, so that it turns along the gate and immediately changes its direction to the arrow 46. However, since a part having the content 44 is harder to bend than a part without the content 44, the part 44 remains in the direction of the arrow 45. For this reason, the envelope 43 is bent at the boundary between the portion where the content 44 is present and the portion where the content 44 is not present, and the projection 47 is formed. The projection 47 collides with the shaft 48, and a jam occurs. In other words, if such a postal matter is detected and rejected in advance, the jam can be reduced.

Next, a description will be given of a detection unit for detecting a postal matter that interferes with the gate drive shaft.

FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of the detection section 5 of the mail sorting apparatus of FIG. 1, FIG. 5-a is a top view, and FIG. 5-b is a front view. The mail is conveyed while being held by the conveyor belts 49 and 50.

Here, the temporary gate 51 and the regular gate 2
The difference from the second class will be described. The provisional gate 51 is for creating a shape when the destination of the mail is changed, so that the opening and closing operation of the gate is unnecessary, and is always fixed to the open state. Further, since no opening / closing operation is required, there is no gate drive shaft 48 for driving the gate. Further, since there is no gate drive shaft 48, that portion is hollow. Further, since there is no gate drive shaft 48, even when the postal matter is deformed at the time of passing through the regular gate 22 and comes into contact with the gate drive shaft 48 to reach the gate jam, the jam occurs at the temporary gate 51. Does not occur.

The temporary gate 51 is fixed in an open state in order to make the postal matter pass through the gate, and the postal matter is directed in the direction of the transport path formed by the transport belts 52 and 53. Change. The temporary gate has no gate drive shaft 48 and is fixed by a gate fixing shaft 54. The gate fixing shaft 54 passes over the temporary gate 51 where the mail does not interfere, and since a part of the gate drive shaft is normally hollow, mail that interferes with the gate drive shaft passes therethrough. However, no jam occurs here. Temporary gate 51
Since the position where the gate drive shaft passes is usually hollow, a sensor 55 is provided here, and the same position as the gate drive shaft is monitored. In the actual gate mechanism, there is a risk of interfering with the gate drive shaft. The guide 56 is provided to guide the mail correctly in the direction of the transport path. The detection unit 5
The portion composed of the temporary gate 51 and the sensor 55 corresponds to a gate jam pre-detection mechanism. FIG. 11 shows this gate jam pre-detection mechanism. Since the conventional device does not include the detection unit 5, the gate jam cannot be detected in advance.

Next, control when the postal matter described with reference to FIG. 11 reaches the detection unit 5 for detecting postal matter that interferes with the shaft of the gate mechanism will be described with reference to the control flowchart of FIG.

When the sensor 57 shown in FIG. 5B detects the leading end of the mail conveyed while being held by the conveyor belts 49 and 50 (YES in step 101), it is determined whether the sensor 55 is shielded (step 101). 102) If it is shielded (YES side of step 102), it is determined that the postal matter may interfere with the gate driving shaft, and the stack destination information is changed to the reject stacker (step 1).
03). This is repeated until the sensor 58 in FIG. 5B detects the trailing end of the mail. That is, during a time period from when the postal matter passes through the sensor 57 to the sensor 58, whether or not the postal matter passes through a portion of the regular gate where the gate drive shaft 48 that causes the occurrence of the jam should be mounted. Is monitored using the sensor 55. If the sensor 55 determines that there is mail, the temporary gate 51 does not lead to a gate jam, but if it passes through a regular gate, it is very likely that a gate jam will occur. I do.

This makes it possible to reject mails that may interfere with the gate drive shaft.

Hereinafter, a method for specifying a postal matter that interferes with the gate driving shaft according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The mail is fed from the mail supply unit 1 by the separation mechanism 2 and is conveyed by the conveyance path 3. The destination is read by the reading unit 4, and a stacker to be stacked is determined based on the read result. Further, the detecting unit 5 detects whether or not the mail interferes with the gate driving shaft. When the postal matter interferes with the gate drive shaft, the stacker for stacking the postal matter is changed to a reject stacker 23 dedicated to the postal matter that interferes with the gate drive shaft. In addition, mails rejected due to other factors are prevented from stacking on the reject stacker 23 dedicated to mails that interferes with the gate drive shaft. The reason why the stacker 23 is set as a reject stacker dedicated to mail that interferes with the gate drive shaft is that there is no need to open the gate and change the transport direction before stacking mail.

In this way, it is possible to identify a postal matter that may interfere with the gate driving shaft.

Hereinafter, a method of moving a sheet so as not to interfere with a gate driving shaft according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6, 7, 12, and 1.
4. This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of a mail sorting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Separation mechanism 2 from mail supply unit 1
The mail is fed out and transported by the transport path 3. The reading unit 4 reads the postal code and the destination, and determines a stacker to be stacked based on the read result. Further, the position at which the mail interferes with the gate driving shaft is detected by the detection unit 5. When the mail interferes with the gate drive shaft, the mail is shifted laterally by the mail shift unit 59 so that the interference position detected by the detection unit 5 is shifted from the gate drive shaft, and then the subsequent conveyance is performed.

A method for detecting the position where the mail interferes with the gate driving shaft by the detection unit 5 of the mail sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

The detecting section 5 of the mail sorting apparatus of FIG. 6 has substantially the same configuration as that of FIG.
The detection unit 5 of the mail sorting apparatus of FIG. 6 does not have the sensor 55 of FIG. 5, but has a plurality of movable switches instead, and can detect the position where the mail interferes with the gate driving shaft. It is. The paper sheet interference position detecting mechanism will be described with reference to FIG.

The paper sheet interference position detecting mechanism includes a temporary gate 5
1. It comprises a plurality of movable switches 78-83 and a gate fixing shaft 54. The temporary gate 51 is fixed in an open state by a gate fixing shaft 54 in order to make the postal matter pass through the gate. The shaft is not attached to the position where the gate drive shaft is located in the normal gate mechanism. Instead, a plurality of movable switches 78 to 83 are provided at the position of the gate drive shaft, and when a sheet that interferes with the gate drive shaft passes, one of the switches 78 to 83 is pressed, By determining whether or not the switch has been pressed, it is possible to detect the position at which the paper sheet interferes with the gate driving shaft. Since the switches 78 to 83 are movable, no jam occurs even when a sheet that interferes with the gate drive shaft passes.

Next, a method of moving a mail horizontally by the mail shift mechanism will be described.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the mail shift section 59 of the mail sorting apparatus shown in FIG. When the sensor 60 detects the leading end of the postal matter 63 (YES in step 105), the detection result of the postal matter 63 by the detection unit 5 is checked (step 106). If the postal matter 63 does not interfere with the gate drive shaft, The gate 64 is opened (step 116), and the mail is sent in the direction of the transport path 65. If the mail 63 interferes with the gate drive shaft, close the gate (step 10).
7) The mail 63 is sent in the direction of the transport path 66. Conveyance path 6
6. Since the mail sent to the shift conveyance path 67 interferes with the gate drive shaft, the mail must be sent to the conveyance path 66 and the shift conveyance path 67 with the gate closed. The sensor 61 detects the rear end of the postal matter 63 (YES side of step 108), and when it is confirmed that the postal matter has entered the shift conveyance path 67, activates a shift motor (not shown) (step 109). When the shift transport path 67 is shifted as necessary (YES in step 110), the shift motor is stopped (step 11).
1). The movement of the shift transport path 67 is performed while the mail 63 is completely on the shift transport path 67. Shift transport path 67
Is shifted in relation to the transport path 68, the postal matter 63 is transported.
Passed to 8. If the sensor 62 detects the trailing end of the postal matter 63 (YES side of step 112), it is determined that the postal matter 63 has fallen out of the shift transport path 67, and the shift motor is activated (step 113). Return to the initial position before shifting (steps 114 and 115). The return of the shift transport path 67 from the shifted state to the initial position is performed before the leading end of the next mail arrives at the shift transport path 67.

As a result, rejection of postal matter that interferes with the gate driving shaft can be reduced.

Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
A method of writing information on whether or not it interferes with the gate drive shaft on a sheet and reprocessing according to the information written on the sheet will be described with reference to FIGS. 8, 9, 10, 16, and 17. I do.

FIG. 8 is a configuration diagram of a mail sorting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Separation mechanism 2 from mail supply unit 1
The mail is fed out and transported by the transport path 3. The destination is read by the reading unit 4, and a stacker to be stacked is determined based on the read result. Further, the detection unit 5 detects whether or not the postal matter interferes with the gate drive shaft. If the postal matter interferes with the gate drive shaft, the stacker for stacking the postal matter is changed to a reject stacker, and the detection result is determined. The printing unit 69 prints on mail.

When the mail is re-sorted by the mail sorting device, the information written on the mail is read by the reading unit 4 and
If the read result is a postal matter that interferes with the gate driving shaft, the stacker to be stacked is changed to the reject stacker 23 irrespective of the detection result by the detection unit 5. Thereby, the state of the mail changes at the time of re-sorting, and it is possible to reliably reject mail which interferes with the gate driving shaft which has not been rejected by the detection unit 5.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the reading section 4 of the mail sorting apparatus of FIG. The control method of the reading unit 4 is shown in FIG.
A description will be given according to the control flowchart of FIG. When the sensor 70 detects the leading end of the mail 74 conveyed by the conveyance path 3 (YES in step 117), the scanner 7
1 is started (step 118), and the destination is read.
Further, when the mail 74 advances on the transport path 3 and the sensor 72 detects the tip (YES side of step 119), the barcode reader 73 is activated (step 120) to read the barcode.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram of the printing section of the mail sorting apparatus of FIG. The control method of the printing unit will be described with reference to the control flowchart of FIG. When the sensor 76 detects the leading end of the mail 75 conveyed by the conveyance path 6 (YES in step 121), the detection result of the mail 75 by the detection unit 5 is checked (step 122). If it interferes with the drive shaft (YES side of step 122) and the barcode is not printed (YES side of step 123), the printer 77 is started,
The detection result of the detection unit 5 is printed on the mail 75 in a barcode.
