Method for sorting conveyed objects on a conveyor system

A method for bundling conveying streams at a material handling element or node (Ka . . . Kz, K1 . . . K34) with a plurality of incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b), at least one coupling (2) to an outgoing conveyor segment (3), to which the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b) are merged, and a plurality of holding devices (4a, 4b) for stopping conveyed objects (17) on the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b), wherein

• the conveyed objects (17) are vectorially linked according to their target sorting sequence in ascending/descending order, and wherein said vectorial coupling is saved in a memory of a controller (5) assigned to the material handling element/node (Ka . . . Kz, K1 . . . K34) and/or in a memory of a superordinate controller,
• the conveyed objects (17) of different target sorting sequences, which pass the material handling element/node (Ka . . . Kz, K1 . . . K34) are linked vectorially according to their actual sequence in ascending/descending order and wherein this is saved in the already saved vectorial coupling, and
• conveyed objects (17) waiting at a material handling element/node (Ka . . . Kz, K1 . . . K34) are released in such a sequence which avoids the formation of a ring with a constant sense of direction in the common vectorial coupling of the target sorting sequences and the actual sequence.
