COURIER SORTING SYSTEM WITH CONTAINER OF BINS AND ROBOT SHUTTLE MANIPULATOR OF BINS

摘要

The sorting installation (1) according to the invention comprises sorting outlets (2) aligned along a sorting conveyor (3) each with a housing (4) for a tray (5) in which articles of mail (6) sorted are stored and also a conveyor of bins (8) which extends under said sorting outlets to move the full bins. The installation further comprises a shuttle robot (9) equipped with a slide (14) whose lower end (14a) is slidably coupled to a guide rail (10) running along said conveyor of bins, this shuttle robot being designed to automatically extract a mail-filled bin from a slot of a sorting outlet and release it at the top of the chute so that the bin arriving at the bottom of the slide is injected into the bin conveyor by the effect of gravity.
