PIECE GOODS CONVEYANCE SYSTEM HAVING INDIVIDUAL CONTAINERS FOR TRANSPORTING PIECE GOODS, IN PARTICULAR LUGGAGE

摘要

The invention relates to a piece goods conveyance system having individual containers for transporting luggage on a conveyor belt for the containers and at least one unloading and one loading station for loading the containers with the piece goods, the storage space thereof being formed by an endless stable carrier belt spanning each container that is driven guided perpendicular to the transport direction of the container around the deflection roller arranged on both sides of the container, wherein there is a stationary drive for driving the carrier belt in the region of the loading and/or unloading station. In order to create a low-wear, simple and functional drive for the container of a piece goods conveyance system of this type that undertakes the transport and sorting of luggage in a luggage conveyance system in a cost-effective and low-maintenance manner, according to the invention the drive element (16) that is on the container (1) is designed as flat belts (12) circulating endlessly around deflection wheels parallel to the transport direction, of which at least one deflection wheel is positively connected to the carrier belt (4) and that can be frictionally engaged to a second flat belt (11) of a stationary drive station (6) driven endlessly circulating parallel to the first flat belt (12) in the region of the loading and/or unloading station, the circulation speed and circulation direction thereof being controllable.
