  • sorting outlets 4 distributed along the conveyor of sorting 3.
  • the sorting conveyor 3 comprises pivoting plates 5 capable of pivoting to let the parcels 2 fall by gravity into the appropriate sorting outlets 4.
  • Each sorting outlet 4 is equipped with a plurality of receptacles 6 for parcels 2, the number of which may vary depending on the sorting information of parcels to be sorted, such as for example the number of destination addresses for parcels 2 to be sorted , the size of the packages, the weight of the parcels, mention of a customs declaration on the parcels, etc.
  • the receptacles 6 are for example in the form of trays open on the top, as shown in the figures 2 to 4 .
  • This type of receptacle 6 is particularly well suited to bulk filling with packages 2 of small size, called PPI.
  • the receptacles 6 are each associated with parcel sorting information 2 in the memory of a control-command unit 7 of the sorting equipment 1.
  • the control-command unit 7, as shown in the figure 1 also includes in memory a sorting plan for the parcels 2 to be sorted which is defined from the distribution of all the receptacles 6 and the sorting outlets 4 within the sorting equipment 1 and from the information of sorting of all the parcels 2 to be sorted.
  • a permutation device 8 of the receptacles 6 shown on all of the figures 1 to 4 is also provided at each sorting outlet 4 and comprises a shaft 8a rotatable along a first horizontal axis of rotation A1.
  • the shaft 8a is here provided with supports 9 each designed to store and drive in vertical rotation around the first axis of rotation A1 a receptacle 6 for parcel 2.
  • the supports 9 are for example in the form of nacelles with a bottom wall PF designed to support a receptacle, two side walls PL and two openings on the front face and rear face designed to allow the unloading of a receptacle by sliding.
  • Shaft 8a is also designed to move in the clockwise or counterclockwise, as represented by the arrow R1 on the figures 1 to 4 , and to immobilize after each rotation, a receptacle 6 in a filling position in which the receptacle 6 is arranged under the sorting outlet 4 to receive a parcel 2 and another receptacle in a discharge position in which this other receptacle 6 , represented in picture 2 , is placed at arm height of an operator to be evacuated manually or automatically by a shuttle robot.
