Conveyor system and method for conveying and adjusting the position and/or spacing of conveyed goods

1 . A conveyor system for conveyed goods including packages and/or parcel pieces, the conveyor system comprising:

at least one conveyor device comprising at least one cluster module that comprises at least one cluster unit to adjust the position of a conveyed good relative to other conveyed goods;

a transport element configured to convey conveyed goods, wherein the transport element is a conveyor bag in which goods are loadable;

at least one transfer station arranged on the at least one conveyor device, wherein the at least one transfer station is configured to transfer the conveyed goods;

at least one control unit connected to the conveyor device, wherein the cluster unit is individually controllable in dependence on adjacent cluster units and/or receives control commands by means of the control unit on the basis of measurements and/or data read-in in order to adjust the position of a conveyed good and/or spacing between adjacent conveyed goods; and

a superordinate control system which is connected to the at least one control unit in terms of control technology, so that an adjustment of the position of a conveyed good and/or spacing between adjacent conveyed goods occurs on the basis of control commands of the control system.

2 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one control unit is coupleable to at least one computer unit, wherein the at least one computer unit receives control commands from the control system.

3 . The conveyor system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one computer unit is designed to determine the position of a conveyed good and/or spacing between adjacent conveyed goods in an optimized manner on the basis of the dimensions and/or a content of a transport element.

4 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment of the position and/or spacing of the conveyed goods occurs through the at least one control unit.

5 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment of the position and/or spacing of the conveyed goods occurs without control commands from the control unit.

6 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls independently of the control system.

7 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one conveyor device comprises multiple cluster modules.

8 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the cluster unit comprises a ball which is configured to be drivable or driveless.

9 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the cluster unit comprises a roller or an omnidirectional wheel, which is designed to be drivable or driveless.

10 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the cluster unit has a surface coating which is rubberized.

11 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one cluster module comprises a plurality of cluster units and each of said cluster units is individually controllable by the at least one control unit.

12 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the cluster modules is configured as a ball cluster module or a roller cluster module or omnidirectional wheel cluster module.

13 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one feed station and the at least one transfer station are arranged on the at least one conveyor device.

14 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one accumulation station is arranged on the at least one conveyor device.

15 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyor system comprises a marking device.

16 . The conveyor system according to claim 15 , wherein the marking device designates at least one conveyed good with an identification means and/or an alignment code.

17 . The conveyor system according to claim 15 , wherein the identification means is the alignment code.

18 . The conveyor system according to claim 15 , wherein an orientation of the conveyed good is detectable as the orientation of an outer shell of the conveyed good and/or orientation of the alignment code.

19 . The conveyor system according to claim 15 , wherein a position of the conveyed good is detectable as the position of an outer shell of the conveyed good and/or position of the alignment code.

20 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyor system comprises at least one sensor unit designed to detect the position and/or location of at least one conveyed good.

21 . A method for conveying and adjusting the position and/or spacing of conveyed goods including packages and parcel pieces, with at least one conveyor system according to claim 1 , comprising the method steps:

capturing a position and/or location of a conveyed good;

determining the alignment and/or spacing between adjacent conveyed goods by a computer unit;

adjusting the alignment and/or the spacing between adjacent conveyed goods by at least one cluster module controlled by the control unit and comprising at least one cluster unit; and

loading of a transport element with the conveyed good.

22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the at least one cluster unit is rotated about at least one of its axes by means of a drive.

23 . The method according to claim 21 , wherein the at least one cluster unit communicates with further cluster units.

24 . A method according to claim 21 , wherein an identification means of the conveyed good and a data element of the transport element are linked.

25 . The conveyor system according to claim 1 , wherein the transport element comprises a suspension conveyor bag.
