Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1, such as from US-A-3,573,748 known. In the finest sorting of shipments, these are sorted by delivery points in the distribution order.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device for automatically merging manually processed flat shipments with a stream automatically sorted by the distribution order shipments, with which the necessary manual effort is reduced.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • movable containers are provided which rotate in a closed transport path and each having a plurality of controlled downwardly open compartments for each one program.
  • the subjects are only emptied when the containers are in stationary sorting stations in rest position and the automatic emptying takes place on the delivery points associated sections according to the recognized destination address of the items.
  • After the emptying of a container this is mobile to a loading station in which the subjects are filled with broadcasts, the subjects are associated with the items corresponding to the respective destination address the delivery points of the distribution order and this assignment is transmitted to a device for controlled opening of the compartments , This largely relieves the deliverer of manual sorting tasks.
  • the sections are inclined obliquely rearwardly to the transport direction of the section conveyor belt.
  • the transport path of the container is designed so that a fixed number of loaded containers are held before loading station and / or in front of the / the sorting / s in a storage position until the respective Station is free.
  • the loading station is provided for manually loading the compartments and has a coding device for manually inputting the delivery addresses.
  • the loading station has a compartment wall for manual pre-sorting of the programs before loading the compartments.
  • the common address for each pre-sorted distribution section is given before the beginning of the subject loading by the machine control to comply with the automatically sorted shipment stream associated execution order. Thus, only the house numbers have to be coded.
  • a section conveyor 1 carries mail items 2 (in each section, items of delivery are located) in the order of distribution from left to right to a collecting station, not shown, in which the mail items are then collected in containers in the order of distribution.
  • a collecting station In front of this collection station there may still be a packing station in which the consignments of a delivery point are packed or bundled.
  • the mail items 2 were placed in the sections of the section conveyor belt 1 as a result of an automatic sorting process.
  • the transport path 5 runs counter-rotating container 3 with several compartments 4 for each a narrow shipment in an upright position.
  • several containers 3 which move asynchronously. This can be done by each container 3 has its own drive which is controlled independently of the drives of the other container 3 or it runs an endless conveyor continuously to which the containers are controlled on and decoupled, for example, at certain waiting positions or by a stationary container 3.
  • the respective container 3 If the respective container 3 has been completely emptied in its sorting station 6 and is prevented from moving on by a container 3 located in front of it, it is fed via the circulating transport path 5 to a loading station 9, in which it is stopped in the loading position and loaded manually.
  • the coding of the respective program 8 by the operator i. he inputs the data of the read delivery address (destination address) in a coding device (keyboard) 11. From this data, the delivery point is then determined automatically by means of a file in which the destination addresses are assigned the delivery points and optionally their order in the distribution order.
  • the delivery point is then assigned to the respective compartment 4, transmitted to the means for controlled opening of the compartments 4, which controls the unloading of the compartments 4 in the sorting position 6 on the sections of the section conveyor belt 1.
  • This device also has the information which conveyor belt section is assigned to which delivery point so that the corresponding compartment 4 is then opened when the passing conveyor belt section is below it.
  • the consignments 8 are presorted in a compartment wall 10 into distribution areas (e.g., streets). If the consignments 8 of a certain distribution area are to be loaded into the compartments of the container, then this distribution area is indicated by a display that is controlled by the machine control and only the house number must be encoded when loading. Both in front of the loading station 9 and in front of the sorting position (s) 6, the containers 3 can remain in storage positions until their picking up in the following station 9, 6 is possible.
  • the device is located on the section conveyor belt 1 in the transport direction after the sorter, which automatically occupies the section conveyor belt 1.
  • the only manually processable programs 8 are in the respective section at the top.
  • the device To arrange in front of the sorter, so that the manually processable programs 8 are lowermost.
  • the container 3 has a plurality of narrow, obliquely arranged - in the transport direction of the section conveyor belt 1 to the rear inclined - fan 4, in which the programs are 8 on their narrow sides.
  • Each compartment 4 has a downwardly pivotable bottom 13 to which an outwardly guided lever is attached.
