摘要：A machine for sorting packages having individual bar code identifications. Thepackages are received at an induction station and an induction conveyor moves thepackages up to a gate which is driven by an actuator to allow individual packages to passthrough the gate at predetermined intervals. The packages are driven by a transportmechanism along a slider bed having trap doors moveable between an elevated positionin alignment with the slider bed and a lowered position providing openings in the sliderbed for the packages to fall from the slider bed. The transport mechanism includesindividual pushers to move over the slider bed spaced from one another by thepredetermined interval so that each pusher receives a respective one of the packagesfrom the induction conveyor and pushes that package along the slider bed. Receivingstations are positioned under the trap doors and a control is operable to move the trapdoors between the elevated to the lowered position so that the packages drop from theslider bed into the receiving stations according to order lists and the bar codes used bythe machine to recognize the packages and match them to the order lists and hence to adestination receiving station.
