A positive displacement sorter, preferably of the parallel displacement type, includes a conveying surface, a plurality of pusher shoes capable of travelling laterally of the conveying surface, a plurality of diverting rails extending diagonally under the conveying surface and a plurality of electromagnetic actuators associated with the diverting rails. The pusher shoes include a transfer assembly below the conveying surface including a pilot member made of a magnetically permeable material. A pusher shoe is diverted to one of the diverting rails by the actuator associated with the diverting rail magnetically attracting the pilot member associated with that pusher shoe to magnetically initiate a divert. The transfer member associated with the pusher shoe mechanically completes the divert that is initiated magnetically. This allows actuators to be positioned at a pitch that is no greater than the shoe pitch. Image

L'invention porte sur une trieuse à déplacement forcé de préférence à déplacement parallèle comportant une surface de convoyage, des sabots pousseurs pouvant se déplacer transversalement à la surface de convoyage, des rails déviateurs s'étendant en diagonale sous la surface de convoyage, et des actionneurs électromagnétiques associés aux rails déviateurs. Chacun des sabots pousseurs comporte un dispositif de transfert placé sous la surface de convoyage, et muni d'un élément pilote d'un matériau à perméabilité magnétique. Un sabot pousseur dévié vers l'un des rails déviateurs par l'actionneur associé audit rail déviateur, en attirant magnétiquement l'élément pilote associé au sabot pousseur, amorce la déviation qui est parachevée mécaniquement par l'élément de transfert associé au sabot pousseur. Cela permet de placer les actionneurs selon un pas ne dépassant pas celui d'un sabot.
