Sorting device for piece goods, with several sorting trolleys which are moved to run around a first track, and which are each equipped with a controlled load-receiving element for accepting and delivering piece goods, with at least one infeed station situated adjacent to the first track, at which station piece goods can be supplied to a load-receiving element of a sorting trolley located in the area of the infeed station, and with several uptake trolleys that are moved on a second track, wherein one part of the second track within a handover area for the handover of a piece goods item from a sorting trolley to an uptake trolley is arranged adjacent to a part of the first track, and with a central control unit which receives the positional information for the sorting trolleys on the first track and the uptake trolleys on the second track, and through which a load-receiving element of a selected moving sorting trolley can be controlled for the handover of a piece goods item located on it to a selected moving uptake trolley, at a point in time at which the selected sorting trolley is located within the handover area adjacent to the selected uptake trolley, and a method for sorting using the device.

Sorting device for piece goods and method

An apparatus for unloading load items, comprising a receiving conveyor having a freely projecting receiving end and a rear delivery end, a removal conveyor and a transfer conveyor arranged therebetween which has a front takeover end adjoining the delivery end of the receiving conveyor and a rear handover end adjoining a head end of the removal conveyor, wherein the transfer conveyor is mounted so as to be pivotable in height about a first swivelling axis arranged at the handover end, and the receiving conveyor is mounted so as to be pivotable in height about a second swivelling axis arranged at the delivery end, wherein the receiving conveyor and the transfer conveyor can be moved, by being swivelled about the first and second swivelling axes, into at least one upper unloading position, in which the transfer conveyor is substantially horizontal before the first swivelling axis, the receiving conveyor is substantially vertical below the second swivelling axis and the receiving end of the receiving conveyor is on the floor of the loading space, or into at least one lower unloading position, in which the receiving conveyor and the transfer conveyor are at an angle of no more than 10&#xb0;, 20&#xb0;, 30&#xb0; or 40&#xb0; to the horizontal and the receiving end of the receiving conveyor is located on the floor of the loading space, and unloading processes using the apparatus.
