Embodiment Construction

[0124] Figures 1 to 3 all illustrate the prior art. FIG. 1 shows elements of a sorting system 1 with a carrier 21 with a trolley 7 . A cart 7 supports a tilt mechanism 8 and a support structure 5 . The carts 7 are strung together to form a chain of carts. The clearance 15 is normal for the transport of unsloped or inclined support structures in the arcuate sections of the track, not shown.

[0125] In FIG. 2 support structures 5 are shown, one of which has a protruding end 16 and is at a distance to the adjacent support structure, whereby a gap 15 is created.

[0126] FIG. 3 shows elements of a sorting system 1 with a carrier 21 with a trolley 7 , a support tilt mechanism 8 and a support structure 5 . The carts 7 are connected in series. The clearance 15 is normal for transporting inclined or non-inclined support structures in arcuate sections of the track not shown. In the case shown, the support structure 5 is longer than the trolleys 7 , so the intermediate trolley 52 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a sorting system of the support structure type, which includes known sorting systems such as tray type sorting systems. They include a track along which carts (7) and support structures (5) are conveyed. Cover plates (10) are arranged to close gaps between the support structures, also when the support structures are conveyed through curved sections, so that conveyed items are prevented from falling through the gaps. The invention further involves a gap closing kit for a support structure sorting system. The invention also involves a method of providing a support structure sorting system having a gap substantially closed between at least two support structures. The cover plates are connected to the support structures by leading systems (11) as well as connected to guiding systems, which guiding systems have one part fixated to an adjacent cart. The support structures (5), the guiding systems (17) and the leading systems (40) are configured to control movement of the cover plates (10) relative to the support structures in order to close a gap between adjacent support structures, when conveyed in sections of a track, which track may have only horizontal straight and curved sections, or include inclined or declined straight or curved sections.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to sorting systems of the conveying support structure type, some such systems are known as tray sorting systems, eg tilting tray sorting systems. They include tracks along which carts and support structures are transported. The cover plates are arranged to close the gaps between the support structures and additionally such that transported items are prevented from falling through said gaps when the support structures are conveyed through the arcuate sections. The invention also relates to a gap closing kit for a support structure sorting system. The invention also relates to a method of providing a support structure sorting system with a gap substantially closed between at least two support structures. Background technique [0002] Support structures for inclined support structure sorters have a shape or distance between them that results in a gap between adjacent support structures. Otherwise, the support structure wou...
