Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the manual merging of manually processable flat mail items with mail items automatically sorted in a sorter according to the distribution order and stored on a section conveyor belt, which transports the mail items in the sections to a collection station in which the mail items are automatically stacked in the distribution order in collection containers become.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for the manual merging of manually processable flat mail items with mail items automatically sorted in a sorter according to the distribution order and transported with a section conveyor belt into collecting containers, by means of which the necessary manual effort is reduced.
- the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
- the separating cards which identify the delivery points and are so large and stable that they form compartments in the collecting container between the items are automatically added before or after the items of a delivery point or area.
- the collection containers are only filled to the extent that the consignments and the separation cards are
- the space for the manually added shipments is filled during transport to the deliverers by a filling element for fixing the shipments.
- the separating cards are colored in accordance with the areas of the distribution line for better orientation of the employee on the formed partition.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a section conveyor belt with a collecting container in which the separating cards are placed on the belt in front of the sorter
- FIG 3 shows the side view of a mobile frame with stacked collecting containers as a compartment wall.
- the machine-sorted mail items 4 are fed to the deliverer or a person in the delivery office in a form with minimal transport volume, which allows the manual addition of only manually editable mail items in an efficient and ergonomic manner.
- separation cards 3 are automatically added to the mail items 4 automatically loaded in the distribution sequence in sections 2 of a section conveyor belt 1 by means of a sorter.
- a separation card 3 can also only be used Shipments for multiple delivery points can be inserted.
- the separating cards 3 must be adapted to the size of the collecting container 5 and be rigid so that they form 5 compartments in the container, between which the sorted items 4 are located.
- the container 5 before the transport is only filled to the extent that there is still room for subsequent manual addition of the only manually processable items.
- the free space is filled by a removable filling element 6.
- the collecting containers 5 are then transported to the delivery office while maintaining the distribution order. There they are stacked on mobile racks 7 with the openings to the side, for example by means of robots, so that a compartment wall is formed in the subjects of which the responsible employee classifies the manually processed mail items.
- the dividing cards 3 can be marked in color or otherwise.
- the mobile frame 7 can also be designed to be foldable in such a way that an L-shaped compartment wall is created and loading is possible with little movement effort.
- Consignment stacks can be removed from the collecting containers 5 with the separation cards 3 left behind, bundled in the desired form by the deliverer and thus prepared for delivery. It is then also possible to insert oversize mailpieces in the correct places in the stack, b) Stack of mailpieces are thus left in the collecting containers 5 with the separating cards 3.
- the collecting containers 5 are transported to the delivery vehicle and loaded there. The removal from the collecting containers 5 takes place during delivery, c) like b), but the separating cards 3 are drawn beforehand (possible in the case of “packaged” batches of mail).
