摘要 |
The invention relates to an item sorting conveyor, specially for parcels, small packages and containers, comprising a conveyor surface (24) moving in the direction of conveyance, consisting of multiple interspaced and interconnected conveyor surface members (supporting profiles 22); multiple deflecting elements (18) which can be displaced sideways in relation to the direction of conveyance (F) along at least one of the conveyor surface members (supporting profile 22); a network of lateral guide tracks (16a, b) and deflection tracks (12) which are placed below the conveyor surface (24) and in which guiding elements (20) extending downwards from the deflection elements (18) can be guided, and a device for reducing noise and wear and tear (27), which is located in the bifurcation area (19) between the first guiding track (60) and the second guiding track (62) . In order to provide a sorting conveyor with reduced wear and tear and noise, at least one attracting member (basic element 28, magnet arrangement 44) for the guiding elements (20) of the deflection elements (18) should be placed in the bifurcation area in such a way that the guiding elements (20) which are guided along the first guiding track (16) are attracted by a force of attraction on the end of the deflection track (12) against the inertia of the guiding elements (20) onto the guiding surface (14) of the deflection track (12).
