Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for sorting mail items according to their distribution addresses.
- a mail item surface of each shipment is recorded and fed to an image evaluation unit, in which it is determined whether the address and the charge tags or stamps on the side facing the image recording device are in the correct orientation. If the correct position is present, an attempt is made to read the distribution address (recipient details) and, after a successful reading process, an appropriate sorting takes place.
- the mail items that have an incorrect orientation or a location with: addresses facing away from the image recording device are each routed into a special compartment. From these special subjects, the consignments are then fed back to the sorting machine in a corrected position and orientation, i.e. together with new consignments, they arrive at the material input of the separation. If the direct reading process of the distribution address could then be started, it can happen that the reading process cannot be completed successfully. In this case, the mail items are also sorted into a special compartment, from which they are then frequently fed to the sorting machine for a new reading attempt.
- the invention specified in claim 1 has for its object to provide a method with which a repeated sorting of sorted in a sorting machine as unreadable in special subjects for re-sorting and after the second input into the sorting machine with any corrections of position and orientation again consignments sorted into these special subjects are avoided.
- the additional identification of the batch of mail items from the special subjects for the replay of illegible mail items during the rereading process after the input and singulation can be used to determine whether the relevant, still unreadable mail item originates from one of the special subjects for replaying. If this is the case, the consignment is sorted into an additional special compartment from which it is not re-entered in the reading and sorting process of the sorting machine. If the consignments to be fed have a position or orientation that is not suitable for reading, they are fed in again corrected for position and orientation. This avoids the uncontrolled multiple iterations of the reading and sorting process.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the procedural sequence in a set-up machine.
- a mail item surface of each mail item is recorded with a known, and therefore not shown, image recording device after the separation, evaluated in a likewise known, image evaluation unit and distributed in accordance with the evaluation result.
- the separation, image recording and image evaluation is indicated by arrow 7.
- the item in question has a position in which the addresses and fee stamps or imprints of the image recording device are facing away, it is routed into a special compartment 4 for side-reversed items via corresponding switch devices.
- Programs whose address pages face the image recording device, but which have the wrong orientation (for example upside down) are routed into a special compartment 3 for programs with incorrect orientation.
- From programs with the right location and orientation Read addresses (at least the postcodes). Then, after successful reading, they are distributed in sorting compartments 2 assigned to specific address areas. If addresses are not read automatically despite their correct location and orientation, they are often sorted into another special compartment 5.
- the distribution process into the compartments 2, 3, 4, 5 by means of a switch device is indicated by an arrow 8.
- sorting bins 2 are filled, they are emptied manually and sent to the relevant address areas.
- the stack of mail items from the special compartment 4 for reversed mail items is likewise removed manually and placed in a corrected position on the material input 6 of the sorting machine / stand-up machine 1. To identify this batch, before the first shipment and after the last shipment of this batch
- Separation cards 9a, b inserted. These separating cards 9a, b must be identifiable by the sorting machine / placement machine 1, e.g. with a printed machine-readable code.
- the evaluation software for identifying the position of a shipment always determined "rearward position" for some mail items (regardless of the actual position), so that these mail items are repeatedly fed into this special compartment 4.
- Separation card 9a determined, the machine control is brought into a state in which shipments with despite correction recognized incorrect location or orientation or twice unsuccessfully read address are sorted into an additional special compartment 11.
- the penultimate compartment on the right is configured as a special compartment 4 for reversed items.
- these mail items are turned, which is indicated by the dark arrow 10, and placed on the material input 6 between the separating cards 9a, b.
- more of these marked batches of mail items can appear on the material input 6.
- a misorientation or misalignment of a consignment is identified from the marked stacks, it is directed into the further special compartment 11 on the far left, from which the consignments are no longer fed to the material inputs ⁇ .
- This control status is exited again as soon as a separation card 9b is recognized, which marks the end of this stack of mail items, and mail items with the wrong way round that pass through the machine for the first time go, as usual, into the special compartment 4 provided for this purpose.
