As shown in FIG. 1, the delivery slip issuing and pasting system 1 transfers the delivery items (envelopes) a supplied from the supply unit 21 one by one in one direction (from left to right in the figure), and the delivery item sorting means 25. and transfer means 2 consisting of a conveyor belt for feeding to the bar code data B1 represented as a bar code identified in delivery item individually read upstream on the transfer means 2, and issues a corresponding delivery slip delivery slip An issuing device 3; and a delivery slip pasting device 4 for pasting a delivery slip 16 (registered mail delivery certificate) (see FIG. 5) issued by the delivery slip issuing device 3 onto a delivery item a on the transfer means 2. It consists of
[0012]
The delivery form issuing device 3 is supplied with a delivery a one by one from the feeding unit 21 and reads the barcode data B1 of the delivery a from the delivery a on the upstream side by the barcode reader 6 to control the information. Send to part 5. Two sets of printers 7 a and 7 b that are operated by control from the control unit 5 are arranged. Under the control of the control unit 5, the delivery slip sticking device 4 uses the support band 8 on which the delivery slips having adhesive means are detachably arranged, and the head surfaces of the printers 7 a and 7 b of the delivery slip issuing device 3. A pair of rolls 9 that are fed so as to pass through the transfer means 2 and wound on the transfer means 2 and a guide part 10a for sequentially separating and pasting the delivery slip from the support band 8 toward the envelope a moving on the transfer means 2 10b.
[0013]
Incidentally, the control unit 5 in advance the code data B1 that is attached with respect to delivery items a, delivery for distinguishing delivery article shipping address corresponding to the code data B1, the name and destination units each and the delivery data such as object classification code supplied from the distribution data file D. Then, a storage unit 11 that stores the information, a display unit 12 that displays the operation states of all devices under the control of the control unit 5, and an input unit 13 that provides external input information such as manual operation instructions to the control unit 5 are provided. It is connected.
[0014]
In the operation state of the delivery form issuing device 3, the code data of the delivery item a transferred by the transfer unit 2 is read by the barcode reader 6, and the code data of the delivery item a is read from the storage unit 11. The delivery data as the delivery address, name, and classification code corresponding to is retrieved, and the obtained delivery data is printed out on the delivery slip of the support band 8 in the delivery slip pasting device 4, and the delivery slip is pasted. The code data B2 corresponding to the delivery item a from which the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a is read and the classification at the time when the printed delivery slip is separated on the transfer means 2 side in the apparatus 4 A delivery slip 16 with a code 17 is attached. Reference numerals 6a, 6b, and 6c are barcode readers for collating the code data B2 and B2 of the delivery slip 16 attached to the delivery item a and the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a. 6d is a bar code reader for the delivery item sorting means 25 in the subsequent stage to sort.
[0015]
On the other hand, there are cases where these deliverables a are canceled before delivery or delivered by another route, etc., and code data of the delivery a designated for extraction in the process of the delivery slip issuing and pasting system 1 Is input from the input unit 13, and the data can be registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14. Data input of the designated delivery item may be input from the input unit 13 using Arabic numerals, or may be input by another bar code reader or the like if necessary.
[0016]
The bar code reader 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d is followed by a pickup box 23 for stocking the specified delivery item a and the barcode data 6 that is previously attached to the delivery item a can be read by the barcode reader 6. If the code data B2 of the delivery slip 16 affixed to the delivery item a by the barcode readers 6a, 6b, 6c and the code data B1 previously attached to the delivery item a cannot be verified. A reject box 24 is provided for extracting the.
[0017]
When the barcode reader 6 or any of the barcode readers 6a, 6b, and 6c reads the code data registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14, the pickup box 23 is under the control of the control unit 5. The extraction drive device 121 for extracting the target delivery item a is provided to constitute the pickup means. In addition, in the reject box 24, if the code data B1 cannot be read by the bar code reader 6 or the collation is bad in the bar code readers 6a, 6b, 6c, the target delivery item a under the control of the control unit 5 An extraction driving device 122 for extracting the ink is provided and constitutes a rejection means.
[0018]
Figure 5 is an example in which the delivery slip 16 is affixed to Sakai covering position of the sealing tongue 33 which is sealed with sealed letter body, delivery slip 16 as shown in FIG. 5, the rear surface of the delivery slip 16 In addition, a transparent film is bonded to the backside of the transparent film so that it can be peeled off, and the adhesive is applied to the back surface of the transparent film. Are output and then attached to the delivery a through the adhesive on the back surface. Note that the delivery slip 16 on the right side in the figure is separated from the delivery a in the delivery process and is reserved by the post office.
[0019]
The delivery item sorting means 25 receives the sorting signal of the bar code reader 6d that has read the sorting code 17 output on the delivery slip via the control unit 5, and the control unit 26 of the delivery item sorting means 25 receives the sorting signal. Although sorting is performed in units of delivery destinations, sorting is performed on a plurality of sorting boxes 27 by a conventionally known sorting means. In this embodiment, the delivery destination unit is classified according to the zip code of a predetermined unit in the case of the postal service, but when it is adopted for the home delivery business, it is classified according to the delivery company's store code. . These division units can be set by changing the division code file of the delivery data file D according to business or according to the division system.
[0020]
Figure 6 shows the flow of operations at the time of sticking issues a delivery slip 16. First, a delivery item a in which code data is individually specified is supplied (step 101), the code data B1 is read from the supplied delivery item (step 102), and then the delivery data of the delivery item is retrieved. The process proceeds to ( Step 103). If the code data B1 cannot be read as a search result, it is a reading error, but as a result, a delivery slip distribution is not issued. Therefore, the code data B1 of the delivery a and the code output to the delivery slip in step 106 to be described later As a result of data B2 verification (including those for which delivery data could not be obtained), the data is rejected with an error (NG) and collected in the reject box 24 (step 107 ).
[0021]
When the delivery data is searched and a command for outputting the delivery data is issued, the delivery data is output to the delivery slip 16 by the command (step 104), and the process proceeds to the step of pasting the delivery slip 16 on the delivery a. (Step 105).
[0022]
Then, the code data B1 of the delivery item a after step 105 and the code data B2 output to the delivery slip are read and compared (step 106). If there is a mismatch (NG) at this stage, The extraction drive device 122 is driven under the control of the control unit 5 to extract the delivery item a and perform reject processing (step 107).
[0023]
On the other hand, the delivery that is matched ( OK ) in step 106 is transferred to the next process. In the next step , when the code data registered in the designated delivery storage unit 14 is read (step 108) , the extraction drive device 121 is driven under the control of the control unit 5 to extract the delivery item a and pick up processing. And collected in the pickup box 24 (step 109).
[0024]
In step 108, specifies when delivery was read code data is not registered in the storage unit 14, a bar code reader 6d reads the classification code (step 110), postal code sent to the subsequent delivery item dividing means 25 While being subjected to separate sorting processing, stack processing is performed on each sorting box 27 (step 111). Even when the classification code cannot be read in step 110, the reject process is performed and the delivery is collected in the reject box 24.
[0025]
In the above embodiment, the card mount 34 may be provided with a two-dimensional barcode BC instead of the barcode data B1 corresponding to the delivery address, name, and classification data for each delivery destination unit. This two-dimensional barcode BC is not obtained by searching the delivery data file 11 when the delivery address, name, and classification data for each delivery destination unit are retrieved as in the barcode data B1, but the two-dimensional barcode BC. It is something stored in itself. Therefore, the delivery form issuing system 1 serves as a storage means for storing program data for outputting the corresponding delivery data based on the code data instead of the delivery data file 11, and the code reading means 6 is a storage means. 11 is used to convert the read two-dimensional barcode BC into corresponding delivery destination data . In this case, conversion is performed including the delivery classification code.
[0026]
In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, data corresponding to the barcode B2 attached to the delivery slip is also stored in the two-dimensional barcode BC, and is converted by reading the two-dimensional barcode BC to output the barcode B2. The barcode B1 corresponding to the barcode B2 is not shown in advance on the mount 34, but is printed simultaneously when the delivery destination information 31 and the two-dimensional barcode BC are printed on the mount 34. It may be a thing.
[0027]
Further, the delivery item a is shown in an envelope form, and the code data B1 written in a barcode form on the internal document is displayed from the window, but is not limited to this. The code data may be directly written on the outer surface. Further, the delivery item a may have a certain thickness, and is not limited to an envelope.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the delivery slip issuing and pasting system according to the present invention prints out a delivery category code at a predetermined position of the delivery slip to be pasted on the delivery. The code can be read reliably, and even if a delivery item classification means is provided after the processing line for a delivery item with a delivery slip attached, the delivery item is reliably assigned to each delivery destination according to the read delivery item classification code. It is possible to classify, and the delivery processing work can be processed very quickly and efficiently.
