ABSTRACT:
A sorting conveyor with a tiltable supporting tray which is swivelable from a horizontal transporting position to a position at an angle to the horizontal by a tilting movement about a tilting axle extending in the transposing direction. The supporting tray is swivelable by means of a tipping mechanism arranged on a driven car, the car being used to deliver transported goods which are loaded at a pick-up station. The swiveling of the supporting tray and a stopping process can be initiated via stationary cam rails. To achieve a simple, economical tipping mechanism with fast switching between horizontal and tipped positions, the supporting tray is fastened at a pendulum which is swivelable about the tilting axle which is stationary with respect to the car. A free end of the pendulum is articulated at a slide which is guided in a base body transversely to the transporting direction by means of a pendulum joint. Switching rockers are supported at the slide so as to be rotatable to the left and to the right of the transporting direction and are provided with switching rollers which engage in stationary switch pieces during the transporting movement. After being actuated by stationary switching elements, the tipping movement of the supporting tray is controllable by the cam shape of the switch pieces.
