Apparatus and transport container for transport and controlled discharge of a load

Abstract

An apparatus for transport and controlled discharge of a load, comprising a frame with a guide (5, 6, 9) for at least one displaceable transport container (2), a drive means (1) for carrying the transport container in an endless track, a resetting device (50) for placing a transport container in a starting position and a discharge station (41, 42, 43) for selectively relieving a transport container of a load. The transport containers are provided with a movable carrying panel (21, 22) for receiving of the load thereon, comprising at least two tilt trays which extend between tilt axes (23) located on both sides. The tilt trays (21, 22) can be selectively titled between a transporting position and a downward hanging discharge position, and are provided with a locking mechanism (60-62) for locking the tilt trays in the transport position. The resetting device is adapted to co-act with a passing opened transport container to place the tilt trays thereof in the transport position, and the discharge station is able to selectively unlock the locking mechanism of a passing transport container to thus release the tilt trays. A coupling (24) is placed between the tilt trays (21, 22) to impose a tilting movement of the one tilt tray on the other tilt tray.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for transporting goods and controlled unloading, comprising: a frame with guide rails for at least one replaceable transport box; a drive device for transporting the transport boxes on a circular track formed by the guide rails; a reset device, Place shipping boxes in start position; unloading station, selectively accepting goods from shipping boxes. Wherein, the transport box provides a movable transport tray to accept the goods on it, which at least includes a first swash plate and a second swash plate extending between the inclined shafts on both sides, which can be selectively operated in the transport position and downward between hanging unloading positions. Background technique [0002] Such a device finds particular application as a goods sorting device in distribution centers, mail order companies and in the context of goods where different goods have to be assembled according to (dispatch) destination.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, here the protruding operating member of the rear swashplate is prone to failure

If the member fails to function adequately, for example because items such as clothing are trapped in it during a working session, the transport box will not close
