Title:
METHOD FOR SORTING CONVEYED OBJECTS ON A CONVEYOR SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/108885
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for bundling conveyed streams on a materials handling element (Ka..Kz, K1..K34) comprising a number of incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b), at least one coupling (2) to an outgoing conveyor segment (3), on which the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b) converge, and a number of holding devices (4a, 4b) for holding a conveyed stream on the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b). In a first step the conveyed objects (17) are vectorially combined in ascending/descending order according to a desired sorting sequence. When a conveyed object (17) passes the materials handling element (Ka..Kz, K1..K34) a vector corresponding to the actual sequence is entered in the vector combination. Conveyed objects (17) are released if a ring with a constant direction is avoided in the vector combination. The invention further relates to a materials handling element (Ka..Kz, K1..K34) for carrying out said method.
