Actuating unit for an apparatus for sorting articles

摘要

An actuating unit (50) for a sorting device (10), the actuating unit (50) comprising a flap holder (60) and at least one flap (80, 80′) having a drive component (81, 81′) for transmitting a drive force to a drive wheel (32) of a transport unit (18), the flap (80, 80′) being displaceably mounted in the flap holder (60) between a resting position and a drive position, a movement limiting component (82) being provided on the flap (80, 80′), said movement limiting component cooperating with a movement limiting element (63), such that the displacement movement of the flap (80, 80′) is limited in the direction of the resting position and/or in the direction of the drive position. Sorting device (10) having such an actuating unit (50) and method for mounting such an actuating unit (50).

1. An actuating unit (50) for a sorting device (10) for sorting articles along an elongated sorting line, the sorting device having a conveying device and at least one transport unit formed with at least one belt conveyor, the transport unit being conveyed along a longitudinal direction of the sorting line by the conveying device, the actuating unit (50) comprising:
a flap holder (60); at least one flap (80, 80′) held in the flap holder and displaceable between a resting position and a drive position, the at least one flap having a drive component (81, 81′) for transmitting a drive force to a drive wheel (32) of the at least one transport unit (18) to drive the at least one belt conveyor of the transport unit transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sorting line; and a movement limiting component (82) projecting from the flap (80, 80′) and configured to engage a movement limiting recess (63), to limit displacement movement of the flap (80, 80′) beyond the resting position and the drive position.
