Definitions
- the present invention relates to a postal sorting machine comprising sorting outlets distributed over one or more horizontal, parallel and superimposed rows and in which each sorting outlet is provided with a storage bin for postal items.
- the invention extends to so-called two-sided sorting machines comprising sorting outlets on its two lateral sides.
- the invention applies very particularly to a machine for sorting postal letters working in one or more passes, and in particular a sorting machine capable of preparing the tour of letter carriers in one, two or three passes. More particularly, the invention applies to a sorting machine capable of preparing in two passes for the tour of a hundred factors, and more depending on the number of sorting outlets.
- each receptacle is emptied manually into a storage bin provided for this purpose positioned in structures or carts. These structures or carts containing the storage bins are then transported in a defined order at the entrance to the sorting machine so that the postal items are reinserted into the machine for a second pass. At the end of the second pass, the receptacles contain the postal items that are perfectly sorted for letter carrier tours and their content is transferred to the storage bins. These storage bins are then brought to an evacuation place so that the letter carriers can take them.
- the reloading operation of the machine between the first pass and the second pass is done entirely manually.
- the operators use trolleys on which the storage bins are temporarily stored.
- To prepare for the postman tour in two passes operators must extract the bins from the sorting outlets in a specific order and reinsert them into the sorting machine in the same order. This results in risks that the bins are inverted during temporary storage on the trolley, which has the effect of introducing a malfunction for the preparation of the postman tour.
- the operators must take the storage bins to an evacuation location remote from the sorting machine, which further increases handling operations.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks by proposing a postal sorting machine, which minimizes manual operations, decreases the duration of reloading and reduces the risk of bins being reversed between two sorting passes.
- the subject of the invention is a postal sorting machine comprising sorting outlets distributed over one or more horizontal, parallel and superimposed rows, characterized in that a container transfer structure is arranged along said rows of sorting outlets, this transfer structure comprising one or more stacked bin conveyors which extend respectively parallel to the rows of sorting outlets and one or more superposed walkways movable along the rows of sorting outlets and each extending between a row of sorting outlets and a corresponding bin conveyor to allow the transfer of at least one storage bin from a sorting outlet to a corresponding bin conveyor.
- the operator For the transfer of the storage bins, either towards the entry of the sorting machine to carry out a new pass, or towards a place of evacuation, the operator only has to slide the storage bins of the sorting outlets on the walkways to the conveyors, the conveyors then transport the storage bins to the desired location.
- the time required for the operation and the effort for the operator is less because the operator does not have to move and must just slide the storage bins without lifting them.
- the maneuvers that the operator must perform are simple, so there is very little risk that he will reverse the order of the storage bins even at the end of the second sorting pass.
- the postal sorting machine comprises a row of sorting outlets, a container conveyor and a corresponding gangway which are arranged substantially in the same horizontal plane.
- the conveyors are either belt conveyors or accumulation conveyors.
- the conveyors are arranged to move the storage bins in two opposite directions so as to be able to bring the storage bins on one side towards an inlet of the sorting machine and the other side towards a place of evacuation of the bins.
- each gangway comprises a set of parallel idler rollers to facilitate the movement of the trays.
- each gangway is designed to be raised or lowered or retracted.
- each gangway is mounted either on a trolley on wheels, or on a frame of the corresponding bin conveyor.
- - Figure 1 is a very schematic top view representation of a postal sorting machine with a container transfer structure according to the invention.
- - Figure 1A shows in more detail a perspective view of the container transfer structure according to the invention.
- - Figure 2 shows in a very schematic side view the transfer structure of the sorting machine having walkways in the lowered position according to the invention.
- - Figure 3 is similar to Figure 2 but shows the gateways of the transfer structure in the raised position.
- FIGS. 1 and 1A there is shown a postal sorting machine 1 constituted by a sorting unit 2 and a transfer structure 3 for the storage bins 4.
- the sorting unit 2 consists of an introduction unit and recognition of postal items 5, in the example of two rows 6a and 6b horizontal, parallel and superimposed on sorting outlets 7, in storage bins 4 for postal items close to sorting outlets 7.
- Postal items are introduced into the sorting unit 2 into an inlet 8 of the machine.
- the transfer structure 3 is composed of two superimposed conveyors 9 (more visible in FIGS.
- an operator arranges the postal items at the inlet 8 of the postal sorting machine 1 where they are introduced into the unit for the introduction and recognition of post items ux 5, which controls the routing of postal items to sorting outlets 7.
- Mailings once sorted, end up in the receptacles and must be manually transferred to the storage bins 4 placed at each sorting outlet 7.
- the storage bins 4 are sent back in sequence to the entrance 8 via the transfer structure 3 to carry out the second sorting pass for postal items.
- An operator pushes the storage bins 4 on the walkways 10 of the sorting outlets 7 as far as the conveyors 9.
- the storage bins 4 are conveyed from the sorting outlets 7 to the place Evacuation of storage bins 4 which is placed at a distance from the postal sorting machine 1 in order to store them so that they can be taken away by the postmen.
- FIG. 2 it can be seen that the two rows 6a, 6b of sorting outlets 7 are superimposed and offset from each other in a vertical plane, that is to say that the upper walkway is longer than the lowest lower gangway to facilitate access to the storage bins 4.
- Each of the two rows 6a, 6b of sorting outlets 7 corresponds to a gangway 10 and a conveyor 9, these elements being arranged substantially in the same horizontal plane to allow an operator to slide without lifting them, the storage tanks 4 contained in the sorting outlets 7, from the sorting outlet 7 as far as the conveyor 9.
- the two superimposed conveyors 9 are arranged on a fixed frame 11.
- the walkways 10 are arranged on the frame 11 of the conveyors 9 by means of slides 12 and can slide along the rows 6a, 6b of sorting outlets 7. It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the movement of the walkways in the slides 12 is indexed on notches 13 so that the walkways 10 stop just opposite the sorting outlets 7.
- the walkways 10 in the horizontally lowered position in FIG.
- the two gangways 10 are interconnected by a hinged bar 14 to be moved simultaneously along the rows 6a, 6b of sorting outlets 7 and to lower and raise simultaneously.
- the simultaneous movement of the two walkways 10 along the conveyor 9 makes it possible to reduce the maneuvers and the risks of errors in the order of conveying the storage bins 4 from the outlet to the inlet of the sorting machine 1.
- the operator therefore slides on the walkways 10 the storage bins one by one from the sorting outlets 7 to the conveyors 9 in accordance with a precise order.
- the risks of errors in the order of transfer of the storage bins 4 to reintroduce the postal items in the postal sorting machine 1 are reduced because the maneuvers to be carried out are simple and the temporary deposition of storage bins 4 has been eliminated on the rolling carts for transporting these storage bins 4 to the entrance to the postal sorting machine 1.
- the walkways 10 are shown in the vertically raised position. This position allows a completely free space to be left between the conveyor 9 and the rows 6a, 6b for the movement of the operators. Provision may be made for the walkways 10 to be arranged on the frame 11 of the conveyors 9 in a removable manner so as to be retracted.
- FIG. 4 there is shown a postal sorting machine 1 with a transfer structure 3 of bins having two walkways 10 mounted on a rolling carriage 15 which is not integral with the frame 11 of the conveyors 9.
- the carriage 15 comprises castors to be easily moved 16 along the superimposed conveyors 9.
- FIG. 5 there is shown a postal sorting machine 1 with a transfer structure 3 of trays composed of accumulation conveyors 9a.
- Such conveyors 9a are known and operate with sensors to move the storage tanks 4 step by step.
- FIG. 5 shows by 18a - 18i the different accumulation zones of the conveyors
- FIG. 5 also shows a transfer structure 3 with two pairs of gateways 10 ′, 10 ".
- a postal sorting machine 1 having a very large number of sorting outlets 7, it may be advantageous to reduce the transfer time from storage bins 4 between two passes to double the number of gangways 10 ', 10 "for each row
- FIG. 1 there is shown a transfer structure 3 in which the two walkways 10 are offset in a vertical plane transverse to the rows of sorting outlets which has the advantage of offering the operator good accessibility to the lowest bridge. It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the walkways 10 are equipped with a set of parallel idler rollers 17 on which the storage tanks 4 are moved.
