Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing mail inserted into deposit points, wherein a plurality of mailpieces are collected and subsequently conveyed in transport containers to letter centers and sorted in the letter centers by sorting devices according to delivery categories.
- Another known generic method is known from the European patent application EP 1072328 A2. This known method also provides for sorting mail items during their transport on conveyor belts according to shipment categories. This is done by determining the weight and the dimensions of the mailpieces during the transport of the mailpieces on the conveyor belt. On the basis of the recorded weight and the detected dimensions, the mail items are then classified in categories and specifically removed from the area of the conveyor belt.
- the contents of the transport container is distributed, spent directly on conveyor belts and discharged on the conveyor belts by shipment categories from a given transport run.
- product recognition systems known.
- the known product recognition systems enable object recognition, preferably by means of computer-aided optical scanning devices.

- the inserted points can be designed versatile. These can be either post offices or postal agencies as well as mailboxes or receivers in the range of customers of a postal company.
- Mail items in particular their filling in transport containers and the transport of preferably a box shape having transport container, forms a presorting.
- the sorting outlay is considerably reduced.
- the invention can be carried out with various transport containers. However, it is particularly advantageous to use box-shaped transport containers.
- the type of partial presorting results from the throwing of the mail items into the transport containers, the mailing structure, the transport conditions and the relationship between the dimensions of the transport containers and the mailpieces inserted therein.
- the mailings predominantly transported flat lying in the transport containers, resulting in a partial pre-sorting of the mail.
- the pre-sorting operations resulting from the transport assist the partial pre-sorting that previously resulted in the filling of the mailpieces into the transport containers.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least part of the transport containers is set up in points of insertion, in which at least one side of a page allows a substantially horizontal position of the mailpieces favoring throw-in.

- the unloading station is designed such that it has a holding device for one or more transport containers, and that two conveyor belts for transport in different directions are provided below the mounting location for the transport containers.
- a removal arm engages in the postal container, removes a stack of postal items of the same shipment category, drops it on a conveyor belt located in front of and / or under the transport container and then immediately re-engages in the transport container and there further mailings of the same shipment category takes off.
- both further conveyor belts and other transport containers can likewise be used.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the type of singulation is adapted to the respective shipment category and to the shipment volume.
- Standard letters - during transport on the conveyor belt to subject one or more processing steps promoting a separation are standard letters - during transport on the conveyor belt to subject one or more processing steps promoting a separation.
- the separating steps lead to the formation of an at least approximately continuous delivery stream when mailpieces applied substantially in batches to the conveyor belt are fed.
- Mail contained in such a mail stream may be completely singled out in various suitable ways.
- this horizontal-vertical converter can be used with subsequent fast-running separation line.
- roll-band devaluation A particularly advantageous embodiment of such a devaluation is referred to below as roll-band devaluation.
- the large and maxi letters to be canceled can be fed on a roller conveyor.
- the maxi letters can then be taken off the conveyor belt after their validation and placed in provided containers.
- Particularly advantageous is the possible adaptation of the speed of the rolling-band.
- the throughput increases due to the simple action of roll stamping (big and maxi) and taking out the maxi letter. This increases the processing speed compared to the manual sorting.
- the shipment does not have to be touched or rotated individually for stamping.
- This embodiment of the invention contributes to a further acceleration of the process.
- it is expedient to carry out the cancellation in principle for all mail carried further on conveyor belts it is particularly advantageous to perform the cancellation during transport on the conveyor belt for mailpieces with a relatively low shipment volume, for example for large and medium letters.
