Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for sorting postal items according to formats.
- the invention further relates to a device suitable for carrying out the method.
- the method and the device are particularly suitable for the incoming processing of mailpieces in a distribution center of a postal company.
- the mail items in the distribution centers of the postal company are usually sorted according to their destinations or destination regions comprising several destinations. This is done in several sorting machines, which are each designed for the sorting of mailpieces of a particular format spectrum.
- the prior art discloses various methods and devices for sorting the mailpieces according to their formats.
- German Utility Model DE 201 21 614 U1 discloses a sorting device which has a conveying device with a plurality of cross-connections, on which eccentric elements are arranged, which limit passage openings together with adjacent transverse connections. By means of a rotary movement of the eccentric elements, letters are moved in a conveying direction, with small-sized letters falling through the passage openings and thus being sorted out of the mail stream.
- This method has the particular disadvantage that the large-format shipments present in a much smaller number within the total shipment volume are left in the mail stream and that the much smaller number of available small-size shipments are sorted out.
- the sorting is thus inefficient and, moreover, the sorted majority of letters falling through the openings is subjected to considerable mechanical stress.
- the disclosed device has in particular the disadvantage that the individual sorting stations with their own feed belts, chutes and belts on which the sorting takes place have a very complicated design and a considerable space requirement, so that in particular the processing of a large consignment volume is ineffective.
- the invention is therefore based on the object in the simplest possible way even with a very large shipment volume to allow a reliable sorting of mail items by shipment types and formats.
- the invention provides that a method for sorting mailpieces according to formats is carried out in such a way that It is carried out that mailpieces having at least two formats are conveyed by a first conveying means of a sorting station, that mailpieces of a first format are taken from the first conveying means in the region of the sorting point at a plurality of sorting positions arranged one behind the other in a conveying direction of the first conveying means and one in the region of the sorting point are fed laterally next to the first conveyor led ge second funding and that the mail items remain with other formats on the first conveyor.
- the first format is preferably a format that occurs with the lowest frequency within a broadcasting volume.
- the first format is preferably a large format in which dimensions of the mailings exceed predetermined values.
- the method makes it possible for the mailpieces having a small number of occurring formats to be removed from the first conveying means, while the majority of the mailpieces having a further format different from the first format remain on the first conveying means. This achieves particularly fast and gentle sorting of the mailpieces.
- the mailpieces with the further formats are, for example, small-format shipments which are present in a considerably larger number in a conventional shipment volume than the broad-format shipments.
- the sorting is advantageously carried out at a plurality of sorting points, which are arranged one behind the other on the first conveying means in the conveying direction, so that fertilizing the first format, which could not be removed from the first conveyor at a first sorting station, are sorted out at one of the following sorting locations of the sorting point.
- the sorting of the mail items at the sorting stations thus does not follow independently of one another but complements each other. In this way, a particularly reliable sorting is ensured, in which it is optimally ensured that all mail items of the first format are taken from the first conveying means.
- the mailpieces with the further formats are removed from the sorting point by the first conveying means. This allows a particularly simple construction of a device for carrying out the method.
- the mailpieces In a distribution center of a postal company, the mailpieces typically in containers, for example in
- the containers are thereby emptied onto the first conveying means or another conveying means connected upstream of the first conveying means.
- accumulations of mail items arranged at intervals on the first conveying means are formed, which are conveyed to the sorting point.
- the first conveying means will stop after such an accumulation has reached the sorting point. This is sufficient at the sorting point Time available to identify and sort out all mail of the first format.
- the clusters are at least partially dissolved, so that a particularly simple sorting at the sorting point is made possible and, in particular, a simple and rapid recognition of mailpieces of the first format is possible.
- the mailpieces are dammed up in the region of the sorting point on the first conveying means in order to keep them longer in the region of the sorting point.
- the mail items accumulated in the region of the sorting point on the first conveyor are fed to a third conveyor with the further formats.
- the third conveying means is advantageously guided parallel to the first conveying means in the region of the sorting point, and the small-format mailpieces are pushed off the first conveying means onto the third conveying means after mailpieces of the first format have been taken from the first conveying means.
- the mail items with the further formats are singled, placed and stacked at the same edge in order to be able to feed them to the subsequent automated processing steps.
- An expedient development of the method is furthermore distinguished by the fact that the removal of the mailpieces with the first format from the first conveying means and the delivery of these mailpieces to the second conveying means is carried out on at least one part of the sorting stations by a robot.
- robot is to be understood in its broadest meaning as a programmable manipulator.
- the robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator for carrying out variably programmable motion sequences in the sense of defining the robot according to the definition of the American Robot Institute (Robotic Institute of America).
- the method according to the invention is therefore advantageously suitable, in particular, for sorting the mailpieces in two formats.
- sorting according to three or more formats is carried out in several sorting steps, in which the mail items, which have been removed from the sorting point, at which the mailpieces of the first format are removed from the conveying means, are fed in the same way to a further sorting point at which the mailpieces of a second format are sorted out.
- the mail items having the further formats being conveyed by the first conveying means be fed to a further sorting point, at the first conveyor mailpieces of a second format ent taken and fed to a fourth conveyor. This is preferably done again at a plurality of sorting stations arranged one after the other in the conveying direction of the first conveying means.
- the sorting at the further sorting point is preferably carried out in such a way that the format selected is that which is within the consignment volume with the others as the second format
- the invention provides a device which is particularly advantageous for carrying out the method.
- the device for sorting mailpieces according to formats is characterized in particular by the fact that a first conveying means for feeding mailpieces of at least two formats to a sorting point having a plurality of sorting stations arranged one behind the other in a conveying direction of the first conveying means is included and a second sorting station Conveying means for receiving mail items of a first format in the area of the sorting point are guided laterally next to the first conveying means / on which the mailpieces with further formats remain.
- the arrangement of the sorting stations at the sorting allows that postal items taken from the first format, which could • are not taken from the first conveying means at a first sorting station to another sorting station and the second Fc ⁇ -derstoff be supplied.
- conveying means is in the context of the invention in no way limiting, but to be understood in its widest meaning.
- belt conveyors or containers conveyed on a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor are in principle suitable as conveying means for use in the invention.
- all sorting points are arranged on a first side of the first conveying means.
- the second conveying means is expediently arranged laterally on a second side of the first conveying means opposite the first side.
- This arrangement allows a simple and ergonomic sorting of the mailpieces, in which the items of the first format taken from the first conveyor are fed to the second conveyor via the first conveyor.
- a device operable by at least one sorting station for stopping the first conveying means is present, so that it can be stopped from the sorting station, if the sorting point larger accumulations of mail be promoted. It is thus ensured that sufficient time is available for the sorting of the postal items.
- the device at the sorting point has a device for accumulating the mailpieces to be conveyed, so that the dwell time of the mailpieces at the sorting point is sufficiently large even if the first conveying device is not stopped.
- the device for accumulating the postal items is advantageously a conclusion of the first conveyor that is downstream of the delivery.
- a third conveying means for receiving the mailpieces with the further formats is guided parallel to the first conveying means.
- the third conveying means can be supplied with the mailpieces stacked up before the conclusion of the first conveying means, after the mailpieces with the first format have been sorted out.
- the third conveyor is disposed below the second F ⁇ rderstoffs.
- the second conveying means is set at a height upwards relative to the first conveying means.
- the third conveyor is also expediently offset from the first conveyor at a height down.
- At least one sorting station a robot for removing the large-scale Sen ⁇ tions from the first conveyor and for supplying these mail items to the second conveyor is installed.
- a robot for removing the large-scale Sen ⁇ tions from the first conveyor and for supplying these mail items to the second conveyor is installed.
- several devices configured according to the invention are preferably arranged one behind the other and connected to one another in such a way that the mailpieces that have not been removed from the mail stream at one device are another device zuge ⁇ leads.
- the second conveying means is guided parallel to the first conveying means in the region of the sorting point.

- control of the device in this embodiment follows er ⁇ in a similar manner as the control in the embodiment shown in Figure 1:
- the conveying speed of the pre-separating belt 20 is controlled by the postal staff and / or the robots at the sorting stations 30 and adapted to the consignment volume.
- the pre-separating belt 20 can be switched on and off at the sorting stations 30 by means of a foot switch.
- At least one further speed level can be selected via the foot switch in order to further improve the possibilities for adapting the conveying speed of the pre-separating belt 20 to the transmission volume.
- a fill level monitoring takes place by means of a filling status inquiry, which is carried out in the manner already described. If the fill level in the trough exceeds a predetermined value, the pre-cut strip 20 is put out of action by the fill level query until so many SKBf are removed from the trough area via the inclined conveyors 80 that the fill level is below a predetermined value.
- a fill level monitoring is likewise carried out in the manner described above, and the handover by the inclined conveyors 80 is interrupted by the inclined conveyors 80 being stopped. After a decrease in the level, the inclined conveyor 80 are set in motion again.
- the inclined conveyor 80 will also hold the pre-cutting belt 20 in the event of a switch-off, in order to prevent an excessively large amount of SKBf from accumulating in the depression area between the inclined conveyors 80 ' while these are stopped are.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the pre-singler 120 used in the device described above, and FIGS. 4 a and 4 b show the fine unbleacher 130 used, which is embodied in a similar way.
- the singlers have two lateral fastenings 170, which are located opposite one another in the side region of conveyor belts. strengthened and aligned vertically on the belt plane of the conveyor belt ste ⁇ starting. At least in the upper end region, the fasteners are tubular, for example round, etcbil ⁇ det.
- a suspension 180 has two lateral hollow tubes, which are placed on the end portions of the fasteners 170 and serve as a guide. By means of screws 190 within the tubes, the head of which is firmly fastened to the upper end of the tubes and which are screwed into a thread within the tubular end regions of the attachment 170, the suspension can be adjusted in height above the conveyor belt 210.
- the suspension contains receptacles formed as a pivot bearing for a shaft 200, which is arranged rotatably transversely to the conveying direction above the conveyor belt 210.
- the shaft 200 is driven via a belt 220 by a motor 230, for example an electric motor, and is designed in the area between the pivot bearings as a roller 240 and surrounded by a roller 240.
- roller radially aligned webs 250 are fixed over the entire length of the roller 240, which have at least in part via elastic lips 250 as tails.
- the roller 240 is preferably fixed at a height in which the lips 250 have only a small distance from the conveyor belt 210 when the web 260 is directed vertically downwards.
- the lips 260 may, for example, be made of the belt material.
- the pre-singler 120 has three webs 250 arranged at equal angular intervals on the roller 240, and the fine unison 120 has two opposite webs 250.
- the shaft 200 of the singler is preferably driven so that the webs 250 move counter to the direction of conveyance of the fiber 210 when they are below the shaft 200.
- the angular velocity of the rotation of the shaft 200 is preferably adjustable in a range between 80 and 100 min -1 .
- the mail items located in front of the separator are thrown back and / or set up. Due to a driving movement of the webs 250, the erected mail messages reach the downstream area of the singler. Furthermore, long mail items, depending on the current position of the web 250, pass underneath the shaft 260 into the downstream region.
- the separating effect can be further enhanced if the louzeier are used in the upper end of an inclined conveyor and the mail is sometimes pushed back very far down the slope. Besugsseichenliste;
