Definitions
- Identification items include, among other things, ID cards, smart cards, and security documents, such as badges.
- identification objects When personalizing identification objects, they are checked for errors after personalization or after other processing steps.
- Personalized identi ⁇ fikations oughtclose have, for example, identification numbers (eg insurance number, personnel number, membership number, etc.) and the name and address of a person or even an image of the person associated with the corresponding data.
- identification objects may also have a chip or a magnetic strip, wherein person-specific data (eg age, address, department, access authorization, account number, etc.) or other data are stored on the chip or the magnetic stripe. The data is summarized for several items of identification in a so-called "job".
- Identification objects of a production lot comprising all identification counter ⁇ states of a job, have after personalization to a particular order. In this order, the identification objects should then also be fed to a magazine. However, if it is found in a check of the identification objects that an identification object is faulty, ie that either the chip and / or the magnetic stripe are not written or described incorrectly or the number or the name is not readable or the picture is not sufficiently displayed, then one of the review upstream processing station made a new identification object, which replaces the faulty. The faulty identification item is sorted out after the check. This results in the difficulty that the new, the faulty identification object replacing identification object is fed to the identification objects of the manufacturing lot. However, the new identification item must take the position of the erroneous identification item in the order of the identification items.
- identifying objects identified as faultless are fed to a magazine and a subsequent erroneous item of identification is sorted out.
- the identifying objects following the faulty identification object are supplied to a buffer in which the identification objects are received in succession. Subsequently, the new, the faulty Identumblesge ⁇ genstand replacing identification item the Vietnameseslos and is fed to the magazine. Then the identification items located in the buffer are transferred to a second buffer, so that they can be returned to the magazine in the defined order.
- the items of identification are stored again on a conveyor belt according to the "FIFO" principle ("first in first out”). That that the identification objects which are handed over to the buffer must necessarily be handed over to the second buffer in order to maintain the order of the identification objects on the conveyor belt.
- the identification items are individually removed from the conveyor belt and single again put on the conveyor belt. This has a negative effect on the throughput of the device and also results in a high frequency of errors and susceptibility to errors.
- the supply of identification items to the magazine via the conveyor belt is individually removed from the conveyor belt and single again put on the conveyor belt.
- Such a sorting device has an increased space requirement due to the different drives of the buffer and the buffer itself.
- a complex control results for such a sorting device, since the identification objects are handed over individually.
- Such a sorting device has a complex structure.
- Such a sorting device also offers only a low throughput due to the arrangement of the buffers and the temporary storage of identification objects.
- the document EP 1 730 707 B1 discloses a system for quality testing of value documents.
- the system includes storage compartments for the stacked storage of the tested value documents.
- means for post-processing of erroneous value documents are provided.
- the means for post-processing can insert replacement documents into the transport stream, mark certified value documents or individualize non-individualized value documents.
- the means may comprise a control device which generates data about the position of replacement documents to be inserted into the stack.
- a method for sorting items of identification that accomplishes this task and that is transported in a certain order on a first conveyor comprises several steps. First, the identification objects are successively supplied to a first transfer position, wherein the identification objects are checked for errors in the first transfer position or before reaching the first transfer position. Identification objects identified as faultless are transmitted in the first transfer position by means of a first transfer device into a transfer buffer. Identification items identified as having errors are transported to a further device by means of the first transport device. In this case, the error-free identification objects located in the transfer buffer are fed to a first magazine arranged relative to the transfer buffer.
- the first magazine is transported by means of a second transport device in a second transfer position, so that the first magazine is aligned in a first position to a first buffer of a rotatable sorting device.
- the fault-free identification object subsequent error-free identification items are transported by the first transport means to the second transfer position and transferred by means of a second transfer device to the first buffer.
- the rotatable sorting device is thereby rotated in a further position.
- identification items can be transferred in batches to the transfer buffer and the buffers of the sorting device.
- the identification objects can also be fed in batches directly to the first magazine, which is why a repeated sorting as in the prior art is eliminated.
- the identification objects can be handed over directly and do not have to be put back on a conveyor belt.
- the identification objects from the transfer buffer are transferred to the first magazine when all identification objects of a production lot are present in the transfer buffer and / or when the transfer buffer is filled.
- a second magazine can be brought into the first transfer position when the first magazine is in the second transfer position.
- the sorting of a second production lot can be started and, on the other hand, a sorting process for a second production lot can be prepared.
- further identification objects of a further production batch can be supplied to the transfer buffer on the first transport device. If the identification objects of a first production lot are in the buffers of the rotatable sorting device and no further new identification objects for the first production lot are fed to the buffers of the sorting device, a sorting process for a second production lot can be carried out.
- the buffers of the rotatable sorter can receive identification items of the second batch while still performing a sorting process for a first batch.
- the identification items of the second lot are fed to a second magazine only when the first magazine is filled, i. all identification items of the first batch have been received therein, and the second magazine has been transferred to the second transfer position.

- the second transport device of such a sorting device extends from the first transfer position I to the third or last transfer position III.
- a sorting device Due to the rotatable sorting device, it is possible in a sorting device with multiple sorting devices, cards from multiple lots - even disordered, i. in no defined order - to sort.
- Several magazines are brought into the first, the second and further transfer positions.
- the cards are buffered in the buffers of the rotatable sorting devices and fed to the respective magazines by the respective transfer devices in a defined order by rotating the rotatable sorting devices in a corresponding manner.
- the first transfer position I. is located in the center of the rotatable sorting device 36.
- the rotatable sorting device 36 has an opening in the middle which is large enough that cards or identification objects are transferred to the transfer buffer 26 and the first magazine 80 can be.
- the rotatable sorting device 36 may at least partially engage in such a sorting device 20 be stored on its outer edge and driven over the edge. In such an embodiment, the path that the first magazine 80 has to travel from the first transfer position I to the second transfer position II is reduced. This has a further positive effect on the duration of a sorting process and the throughput of the sorting device 20 and the installation space.
