Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus for carrying articles such as fruit for sorting, and in particular though not exclusively to apparatus for singulating the articles. There is provided a singulation apparatus for an article carrying system, the apparatus comprising a flume adapted to receive a plurality of articles at a first end; a fluid inlet associated with the first end and arranged in use to direct a fluid flow to carry the received articles along the flume to a second end; wherein a parameter of the fluid flow is controlled in order to singulate the received articles along the flume. A method for singulation is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tipping actuator for a conveyor system that comprises a plurality of article carriers moving on an endless conveyor in a conveying direction, each article carrier having a carrier frame for bearing an article, the carrier frame being pivotally mounted on the article carrier and operable to tip to enable discharge of the article borne on the carrier frame. The tipping actuator comprises a trigger member for contacting the article carriers to tip them and is configured such that, when in a non-contact position, the article carriers are able to at least partly tip towards the trigger member such that the contact portion of the trigger member is received by a portion of the article carrier. In another embodiment, a contact portion of the trigger is sloped with two different gradients. An electromagnet may be used to cause actuation of the trigger. The tipping actuator may be able to allow tipping in opposite directions of adjacent carriers, for example in some embodiments the trigger may be formed of upstream and downstream parts.
Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于输送机系统的倾翻致动器，其包括在输送方向上在环形输送机上移动的多个物品承载件，每个物品托架具有用于承载物品的承载架，承载架枢转地安装在物品载体上 并且可操作地尖端以使得能够排放承载在载体框架上的物品。 翻转致动器包括用于接触物品载体以使其尖端的触发器构件，并且构造成使得当处于非接触位置时，物品载体能够至少部分地朝向触发器构件尖端，使得接触部分 触发器构件被物品载体的一部分接收。 在另一个实施例中，触发器的接触部分以两个不同的梯度倾斜。 可以使用电磁体来引起触发器的致动。 倾翻致动器可以能够允许在相邻载体的相反方向上倾斜，例如在一些实施例中，触发器可以由上游部分和下游部分形成。
