AI Technical Summary
Existing sorting systems face challenges in efficiently transporting objects of varying weights, particularly in ensuring appropriate braking for both light and heavy items to maintain throughput without causing undesirable impacts.
A device with dual conveying elements, where the first element protrudes beyond the second and is adjustable based on object weight, allowing light objects to be conveyed with minimal resistance on the first surface and heavy objects to be braked effectively on the second surface, using different friction and rolling resistances.
Ensures reliable conveyance of objects with different weights by adjusting movement resistance, preventing tilting and maintaining high throughput by optimizing braking for both light and heavy items.

Abstract
Claims
[1] Device for transporting objects with a first conveying element (18) and a second conveying element (20), wherein the first conveying element (18) protrudes beyond the second conveying element (20) and a first conveying surface (24) is formed by the first conveying element (18) and a second conveying surface (28) is formed by the second conveying element (20), characterized by that the first conveying surface (24) and the second conveying surface (28) are arranged parallel to each other, wherein the first conveying element (18) is movable depending on the weight of the object (12, 12') to be conveyed, so that a first object (12) with a first weight is moved on the first conveying surface (24) and a second object (12') with a second weight is moved on the second conveying surface (26) and the second weight is greater than the first weight. [2] Device according to claim 1, characterized bythat the first conveying element (18) and the second conveying element (20) have a different resistance to movement and in particular the second conveying element (20) has a higher resistance to movement than the first conveying element (18). [3] Device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) and the second conveying element (20) are arranged next to one another in the conveying direction (22) or perpendicular to the conveying direction (22). [4] Device according to one of claims 1 to 3, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) and / or the second conveying element (20) is arranged in a V-shape, in particular in the conveying direction (22). [5] Device according to one of claims 1 to 4, characterized by a plurality of first conveying elements (18) and / or a plurality of second conveying elements (20), wherein in particular the first conveying elements (18) and the second conveying elements (20) are arranged alternately. [6] Device according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) and / or the second conveying element (20) has a width of less than 10 cm, preferably less than 5 cm and particularly preferably less than 1 cm. [7] Device according to one of claims 1 to 6, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) protrudes by less than 10 mm, preferably less than 5 mm and particularly preferably less than 2 mm. [8] Device according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) has a spring element (28), wherein the first conveying element (18) can be pressed down against the spring force of the spring element (28). [9] Device according to one of claims 1 to 8, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) has at least one roller (31). [10] Device according to one of claims 1 to 9, characterized bythat the first conveying element (18) has at least one slat. [11] Device according to one of claims 1 to 10, characterized by that the first conveying element (18) has bristles (30). [12] Device according to one of claims 1 to 8, characterized by that the second conveying element (20) has at least one roller (29), at least one slat, bristles (32) or a sliding surface (27). [13] Device according to one of claims 1 to 7, characterized by in that the first conveying element (18) has first bristles (30) of a first length and the second conveying element (20) has second bristles (32) of a second length, wherein the first bristles (30) have an E-modulus which is smaller than the E-modulus of the second bristles (32). [14] Device according to claim 13, characterized by that the first bristles (30) and the second bristles (32) are arranged distributed over the conveying surface. [15] Sorter for sorting objects, wherein the sorter comprises at least one device (10) and in particular a plurality of devices (10) according to one of claims 1 to 14.
