ABSTRACT:
A mixed cargo conveyer (1) for sorting coded pieces of mixed cargo having a driven, endless conveyer track (8) which is a plurality of conveyer elements joined to one another by articulated joints, movable along a guideway (11), and each having a bearing element (12) supported by way of a supporting device (10) on the guideway (11) with a bearing surface (13) that is essentially horizontal in the conveying state for a piece of mixed cargo to be discharged at one designated discharge station (7) of a plurality of discharge stations (7) existing along the conveyer line, by tipping the bearing element (12) on its side; a plurality of loading stations (2), where pieces of mixed cargo to be sorted are each individually loaded onto the bearing surface (13) of an available conveyer element (9); and a computer, which is fed code information about the loaded pieces of mixed cargo read by a scanner, the bearing elements (12) each being able to move out of their normal transport position relative to their supporting device (10) upwards into a weighing position. A stationary weighing installation (6) of n electrical scales (14) is allocated to the conveyer track (8) upstream from the first discharge station (2), the scales (14) in each case have one weighing distance (w), which is longer than the dividing distance (t) between two adjacent conveyer elements (9). The conveyer track (8) having successive groups of n conveyer elements (9.1-9.4) each, of which the first conveyer element (9.1) of each group engages mechanically only with a first scale (14.1) for the purpose of weighing, the second conveyer element (9.2) only with a second scale (14.2), etc., and the nth conveyer element (9.4) only with the nth scale (14.4) of the weighing installation (6), while the conveyer elements (9) run through freely at each of the other scales (14) of the weighing installation (6).
