Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for sorting articles of different format classes, in particular flat mail items.
  • a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 5 are made DE 19705891 C1 and from DE 19650875 C1 known.
  • DE 10344576 B3 A method is described for bringing together mailpieces of different formats. Automatically sortable mailpieces are distributed to different sections of a conveyor belt. Large, non-automatically sortable mail items are added.
  • Each sequence contains standard letters to n consecutive delivery points of the sequence.
  • the large letters are resorted and inserted manually into the sequence with standard letters.
  • An operator removes a large letter from a container and enters the destination address on the large letter by speaking into a speech capture system.
  • At least one separating element is determined for that section with standard letters, cf. Step 35 of Fig. 3, to which this large letter belongs.
  • the worker is given a visually detectable separation of this separating element ("codeehr d'intercalaire").
  • the visual identifier is output on a screen. It is also possible that the visual identifier of the two separating elements is output in front of and behind the section with the standard letters at the delivery point, cf. Section [0071] of EP 1 736 250 B1 ,
  • the separators are z. B. marked by ascending digits.
  • Fig. 6 shows a method for calculating where the separators are inserted into the sequence of standard letters (step 13 ").
  • a mail sorting system 1 comprises a "mail sorting and sequencing device 3", which receives a flow of "postal objects 7" and distributes these mail items 7 to a plurality of "outputs 11". As a result, the mailpieces are sorted according to a sequence of steps ("successive delivery points P0, P1, P2,... Pn").
  • the system 1 further comprises a "mail sorting device 20" for large mailings ("flow of postal objects 7b") with a “singularizer device 25".
  • the "mail sorting device 20" distributes the large mail items 7b to a plurality of "outputs 21".
  • each sorting output 21 of the sorting system 20 a group of large letters for the same delivery route R ("delivery path R") is formed, wherein the mail items of a group are not sorted.
  • Each sorting exit 13 for standard letters is assigned a sorting exit 21 for large letters, both sorting exits 13, 21 containing letters for the same delivery route R after the first sorting.
  • the large letters in the sorting output 21 are not yet sorted on sequence.
  • a worker (“postal operator P") manually sorts the large letters from the sorting output 21 into the already sorted stack with standard letters from the sorting output 13.
  • Fig. 8 of EP 2165776 A1 shows by way of example several sorting outputs 21 for large letters and a device with a base (table 100), which facilitates the manual "merging".
  • a stack 13 (in FIG. 8: stack 17) of standard letters already sorted on a course sequence is positioned on the base 100 and held by two side walls 104.
  • a first sorting system 2 sorts only the standard letters 1 in sequence, namely in sorting outputs ("letter outputs 3").
  • a second sorting system 5 sorts the large letters into sorting outputs (flats outputs 6 "), cf. Fig. 1 , Each "letter output 3" corresponds to at least one flats output 6, see Fig. 3.
  • An operator merges the standard letters from a "letter output 3" with the large letters from the corresponding "flats output 6", whereby several groups 7 of letters arise, cf. Fig.
  • Each "tray 8" is a screen ("display 12 "), which indicates which target points are assigned to this" tray 8. "The worker can determine in which" tray 8 "a letter belongs, for example by the worker scanning a barcode on the letter or by the worker enters the address in a speech capture system, see section [0044] This "tray 8" is identified, for example, by a message light.
  • a method for bringing together manually processable flat postal items with already sorted postal items.
  • a stack 1 of sorted mail items 2 more mail items 3 are to be sorted, see. Fig. 1 .
  • the stack 1 comprises a plurality of areas 6, 7, 8 with mail items 2 at the same route section.
  • an additional mail item 3 is inserted in a separation card 10 at the beginning of a region 6, 7, 8.
  • the separation card 10 thereby marks the beginning of the area in the resulting stack 9, cf. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
  • each separation card 10 is mechanically inserted at the beginning of a region 6, 7, 8.
  • additional separation cards 10 'mark the boundary between the presorted mailpieces 2 and the inserted mailpieces 3 to the same route section.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 5, which avoid the need to provide an item of the first item quantity with an identification.
  • a sorting feature and an order are specified under the possible values of this sorting feature.
  • a format separator separates the items to be sorted into a first item amount and a second item quantity. This division is performed according to a physical property of the objects.
  • a sorting system measures, for each item of the second item quantity, what value the predetermined sorting feature will take for that item.
  • the sorting system sorts all articles of the second article set and all placeholders for the articles of the first article set, depending on the measured sort feature values.
  • the sorting facility uses the sorting feature value of that item of the first item quantity whose designation the placeholder is provided with. So for this placeholder is.
  • the sorter sorts the items of the second item set and the placeholders such that a single sequence is made among all the items of the second item set and all placeholders. For this purpose, the predetermined order among the sorting feature values and the measured sorting feature values are used.
  • the sequence with all items of the second item set and all placeholders is transported to a workstation.
  • the items of the first item quantity are also transported to this workstation.
  • Each item of the first item set is inserted at the position in the single sequence where the placeholder for that item is located.
  • This single sequence consists of the objects of the first set of objects and the placeholders.
  • the method according to the solution and the device according to the invention make it possible to combine the objects of the first article quantity with the objects of the second article article at the workstation so that a single sequence of all objects can be produced depending on the respective sorting feature values.
  • the placeholder for an item that has already been sorted is replaced by the item itself at the workplace.
  • the need is saved to provide an item of the first item quantity with an identification in order to be able to determine at the workstation which placeholder is to be replaced by this item, ie where this item is to be sorted into the sequence.
  • the invention saves the step of printing the article or having to stick it on a printed label. This step takes time and can lead to errors.
  • an expression on the object is often undesirable because the imprint or the label may be the subject deface or damage.
  • printer ink and labels cost money and pollute the environment. All this is saved by the invention.
  • the invention it is not necessary to have the articles of the first article quantity sorted by a sorting plant. It is sufficient that the items of the second item quantity and the placeholders are sorted by a sorting system. As a result, it is sufficient to design this sorting system so that it is able to sort articles of the second article quantity.
  • This sorting system can be optimized for a high throughput of articles of the second article quantity.
  • the objects and placeholders can be adapted to the sorting system.
  • an image of a subject to be sorted and an identifier of the placeholder are displayed on the screen device.
  • This embodiment eliminates the need for the item to be grasped to determine which placeholder is associated with that item, and then identifies the item by detecting a tag of the item, e.g. B. a destination address.
  • the solution according to the method saves these steps. The item just needs to be inserted, but not for prior identification.
  • the pictorial representation of the object makes it easier to z. B. to find in a container. It is not absolutely necessary that the first or top item of the first type is inserted in a container in the already sorted stack. Rather, the second, third or another object can also be inserted from the container.
  • the items of the first item set are sorted into the order of items of the second item set and placeholders, e.g. B. by a processor or a handling machine.
  • each placeholder for an item of the first item quantity is replaced by this item itself.
  • a wildcard may be recognized and replaced in a sequence of items of the first item set and placeholders from the outside. This saves the need, for. B. in a stack to search for a placeholder.
  • the items of the first item set to be sorted are placed in an item order and have this order when they reach the work station.
  • This item order is z. B. made by a sorting system for these items.
  • the sequence in which the item representations are displayed corresponds to the item order.
  • the first item representation of the sequence shows the first or last item of the item order, the second item representation the second or penultimate item, and so forth. This saves the need to search an item of the first item set in the item order. Rather, it is sufficient to grab and process the respective first or last item of the item order, because the image of this currently first or last item is currently displayed on the screen device.
  • the sorted items of the second item quantity and the placeholders are transported to the workstation in a plurality of transport means.
  • a partial sequence of object representations is respectively displayed on the display unit, namely an item representation for each item of the first item quantity whose placeholder has been transported in this means of transport to the workstation.
  • This embodiment saves useless searches in the means of transport for a placeholder. This search would be useless because this placeholder was not transported in this means of transport to the workplace and therefore is not in this means of transport.
  • the placeholders are removed from the single sequence after the items of the second item set have been sorted.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to reuse placeholders for different sorting operations.
  • the display unit is attached to a holding device of the workplace.
  • This fixture holds the screen device z. At head level, or even at height, in which the sequence with the objects of the second article set and the placeholders is located.
  • the display device can be z. B. move and / or rotate.
  • the screen device hangs z. B. on a support arm.
  • a worker who sorts the items of the first item set carries the screen device in front of his head.
  • the worker wears a headphone type holding device, and the display device is fixed to this holding device and can be locked at a desired distance from the head.
  • This design leaves the operator the opportunity to have both hands free and saves the need to that the worker must repeatedly turn his head to see the sorted sequence and then the screen device again.
  • Data is transmitted to the screen device wirelessly or via a cable.
  • This refinement additionally makes it possible to actually design the holding device as a headphone with speech output, in order to additionally issue linguistic instructions to the worker.
  • the fixture is enabled to have a microphone that the operator inputs speech inputs.
  • the objects are flat mail items (standard and large letters, postcards, catalogs, magazines and the like).
  • Each item of mail is provided with information on one destination point ("delivery point") to which the items of mail are to be transported, e.g. B. to a house address or a mailbox or parcel compartment.
  • All mail items are to be sorted in a single sequence ("delivery sequence").
  • This sequence is a predetermined order among the possible destinations.
  • a delivery agent transports the sorted mail items via a delivery route and in this case successively reaches the destination points in accordance with the sequence of orders. In order to save the deliverer's work, all mailpieces should be handed over to him in accordance with the sequence.
  • format classes are distinguished, namely the format class of the standard letters (in the USA: "letters") and the format class of the large letters (“flats”) including catalogs and magazines.
  • the second sorting plant functions as the sorting plant in the sense of the claims.
  • the first sorting system can sort large letters of different formats.
