Problems solved by technology

[0004] Some line sorter systems may already have high reliability, but may require a large amount of energy to operate
Other systems may already require small amounts of energy to operate, but suffer from high volumes of generated acoustic noise and / or low capacity as measured in their ability to sort a given number of items per hour
Some systems suffer from too high initial costs and / or too high system maintenance costs and / or do not provide many years of worry-free operation

Embodiment Construction

[0046] figure 1 The line sorter 102 is shown in perspective view. The figure does not show any guidance, unloading or other peripheral equipment or parts of the system, such as the control system. The line sorter 102 is suitable for sorting items of various shapes, sizes and weights, such as postal parcels or airport luggage.

[0047] The line sorter includes an upper track section 104 and a lower track section 106 . The upper section and the lower section are connected to, or are otherwise operably positioned at, end track section 108 . There is an end track section at each of the two ends of the line sorter. At least one location at the lower track section and / or the upper track section is dedicated to directing items onto the line sorter 102, such as via a guide or conveyor (not shown). Although also not shown, typically a plurality of discharge devices or chutes are provided along the lower track section and / or the upper track section for sorting one or more items into...

Abstract

The invention relates to a line sorter for sorting items of various shapes, sizes and weights, in particular postal parcels or airport baggage. The invention is particularly related to the propulsionsystem (304, 306, 406) for the sorter. It may be seen as an object of the invention to provide a line sorter with a reduced need for energy input at a given sorting capacity. It is disclosed that a closed loop chain including sorting carts or slats (302) is provided with couplings (312) and is provided for moving along line sorter track sections. The linear synchronous motor propulsion system is provided for moving said closed loop chain, and a gap between adjacent permanent magnets (306) is the same or substantially the same between each of the permanent magnets.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a line sorter for sorting items of various shapes, sizes and weights, in particular postal parcels or airport luggage. In particular the invention relates to a propulsion system for moving parts of the sorter and how to implement said propulsion system in the most efficient manner. Background technique [0002] A sorter is a device capable of sorting items by sorting items according to their identification and by loading or directing the items onto the sorter and Unloading (ie, unloading them) into one or more unloading devices dedicated to said items. [0003] Sorting machines of the type like the present invention are generally suitable for sorting thousands of items per hour. Thus, for example, the system may use a large amount of energy and may also generate some acoustic noise. Furthermore, due to the need for high performance (for example, in terms of the number of items sorted per hour), but also the need for ...
