  • the infeed facilities of the sorting system are dimensioned in length and width in accordance with the largest piece goods to be sorted.
  • the size distribution of the piece goods to be sorted obeys the Gaussian normal distribution.

  • the acceleration belt starts at a defined point in time in relation to the piece goods receptacles that are moved past and onto which the piece goods are pushed with an acceleration curve that ensures loading of the receptacles.

This improves the dynamic behavior for the last inlets of an infeed group, which always have to work on a sorter that is already heavily occupied. Large piece goods 5.2 no longer block the infeed stream by waiting for two randomly lying free shells coming one behind the other.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'introduction à fonction de régulation destiné à une installation de tri de marchandises de détail et comprenant, placées les unes derrière les autres, une bande de transport d'alimentation (1), plusieurs bandes de synchronisation (2) à commandes séparées servant de tampons et une bande d'accélération (3) servant à charger les marchandises de détail amenées (5) dans des logements de marchandises en mouvement (4) de l'installation de tri de marchandises de détail. La première bande de synchronisation (2) située après la bande d'alimentation (1) et la bande d'accélération (3) sont partagées longitudinalement, chaque bande partielle (2.1, 3.1) pouvant également être entraînée et commandée séparément et étant plus large que la plupart des marchandises de détail (5). L'invention comprend un dispositif (7) servant à mesurer la largeur, la longueur et la position de chaque marchandise amenée (5). Avant la première bande de synchronisation (2) se trouve un dispositif (6) servant à répartir sur les bandes partielles (2.1, 3.1) les marchandises de détail (5.1) qui ne sont pas plus larges que les bandes partielles (2.1, 3.1).
