Device for conveying and sorting piece goods and method for sorting piece goods

摘要

Device for conveying piece goods along a conveying path includes a sorting device for sorting piece goods, track profile members extending transversely to a track conveying direction and connected together to form an endless conveyor track with an upper and a lower run. The upper run has a conveyor surface for conveying the piece goods in the track conveying direction. Push shoes are successive along the conveying path and each is displaceable along at least one track profile member of the track profile members so as to constrainedly displace the piece goods laterally on the conveyor surface transversely to the track conveying direction of the endless conveyor track. A drive drives the endless conveyor track in the track conveying direction. Each push shoe includes a guide roller, which is arranged below the upper run and mounted to be rotatable about an axis of rotation extending transversely to the conveyor surface.
