Abstract
Conveyor arrangement (1), comprising a terminal chute (11, 12, . . . ), adapted to the takeover a conveyed object (9), in particular a postal parcel (9), at a takeover area (A1), in particular from an upstream feed in device (7); for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3), in particular at a terminal (4); for transmitting the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3), wherein the terminal chute is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) so that the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner, in particular comprising means for reducing damage to the conveyed material.

Conveyor arrangement (1), comprising a terminal chute (11, 12, . . . ), adapted to
- the takeover a conveyed object (9) at a takeover area (A1);
- for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3) at a terminal (4);
- for transmitting the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3),
- wherein the terminal chute is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) so that the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner,
- comprising a plurality of terminal chutes arranged side by side, each terminal chute being laterally delimited by a side guide (51, 52),
- characterized in
- that the side guide is mounted in a dampingly moving manner, such that in the event of an impact of a conveyed object (9) on the side guide (54), the latter can be moved away in the direction of impact.
Conveyor arrangement (1), comprising a terminal chute (11, 12, . . . ), adapted to
- the takeover a conveyed object (9) at a takeover area (A1);
- for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3) at a terminal (4);
- for transmitting the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3),
- wherein the terminal chute is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) so that the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner,
- wherein two terminal chutes (11, 12) enter into a common terminal (4), the two terminal chutes (11, 12) each having a different minimum width (B),
- wherein the two terminal chutes (11, 12), which enter into the common terminal (4) at the transfer area (A3), are each connected to different feed in devices (7a, 7b) at the takeover area (A1).
Conveyor arrangement (1), comprising a terminal chute (11, 12, . . . ), adapted to
- the takeover a conveyed object (9) at a takeover area (A1);
- for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3) at a terminal (4);
- for transmitting the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3),
- wherein the terminal chute is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) so that the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner,
- characterized by
- a tumble barrier (64) which is adapted to at least brake a tumbling conveyed object (9) in a targeted manner, it being possible for the tumble barrier to be activated in a targeted manner for braking a tumbling conveyed object,
- wherein it being possible for the tumble barrier to be transferred selectively between a closed position and an open position.
Conveyor arrangement (1), comprising a terminal chute (11, 12, . . . ), adapted to
- the takeover a conveyed object (9) at a takeover area (A1);
- for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3) at a terminal (4);
- for transmitting the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3),
- wherein the terminal chute is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) so that the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner, wherein the terminal (4) is selectively adjustable in height by means of a height adjustment;
- characterized in
- that the height adjustment is controlled on the basis of an occupancy detection (73, 74) of the terminal,
- and/or
- the height of the terminal (4) is set on the basis of the occupancy detection.
