Description

An automatic system (10) for sorting items, such as small parcels, into groups bound for different geographical locations is described. The system uses tilting trays (60, 90) arranged at multiple levels, with all the trays being mounted on carriages (14) travelling on a single monorail (12). The trays are tilted at the proper output chutes by cam roller mechanisms which are appropriately inserted into the path of cams on the trays under the coordination of a digital controller. A simple drive mechanism (16) moves the carriages (14) along the monorail (12) using a drive roller which presses against the carriages. The carriages may be linked by a pliable linkage assembly (150) that does not include mechanical hinges or like mechanisms. The system is easy to repair and operates at low noise levels.

Système automatique de tri (10) d'articles tels que de petits colis en groupes destinés à différentes destinations géographiques comportant des plateaux basculants (60, 90) disposés sur plusieurs niveaux et montés sur des chariots (14) circulant sur un unique monorail (12). Les plateaux se déversent dans les toboggans appropriés grâce à un mécanisme de rouleaux qui entrent en contact avec des cames solidaires des plateaux en fonction des instructions d'une commande numérique. Un mécanisme simple d'entraînement (16) déplace les chariots (14) le long du monorail (12) par l'intermédiaire de galets d'entraînement qui poussent les chariots. Les chariots peuvent être reliés entre eux par un dispositif pliable (150) ne comportant ni pivots, ni autres mécanismes. Le système est facile à entretenir et à réparer et peu bruyant.
