Method and device for discharge of piece goods from a conveying device

摘要

Conveying apparatus including a plurality of conveying vehicles that can be moved along a movement path by the force of gravity independently of one another for conveying piece goods. The conveying apparatus also includes a discharging device for discharging piece goods from the conveying vehicles to a receiving device as well as an entraining device with a plurality of actively driven entrainment devices. The conveying vehicles include contact elements for producing a guiding contact with the entrainment devices. The entraining device supplies the conveying vehicles to a discharging region of the discharging device while exerting a holding-back contact with the contact elements and guides the conveying vehicles out of the discharging region again while exerting an entraining contact with the contact elements.
