A sorting machine comprising propulsion devices installed on ground and at least a train of interconnected carriages provided with supporting wheels including electrical alternators to supply electrical power onboard. The alternators are housed within the wheels which comprise a fixed inner ring bearing stator windings made integral with a fork supporting the wheel and a rotative outer ring hosting permanent magnets and spinning around a shaft in front of the windings. The generator wheels, when driven by the sorting machine motion, supply small contributions of electrical power which are added up into the electrical distribution bus, a cable that is common to all the interconnected carriages of the sorting machine. Small contributions add up to several kw of power amount available and the carriage servos are able to take advantage of the available power to activate the belt units in order to load parcels and sort to destinations.

SYSTEM FOR FILLING A CONTAINER WITH A MOVABLE INTERMEDIATE TEMPORARY BOTTOM
Method and equipment for transfering parcels and packets directly into roller cages reducing damage rate due to falling height. The purpose is achieved by automatically inserting into the roller cage (4) a temporary intermediate bottom (8) that will limit the maximum falling height of parcels. No special predisposition or modifications to the roller cages are necessary. The intermediate bottom can be actively set at one or more levels inside the roller cages and then removed, without causing damages to the packets and parcels accumulated. Operation is controlled by the sorter programmable logic controller, using photocells barrier to monitor the roller cage filling, and optimized taking into account the weight and volume of sorted items (17) already sorted and those that are still on the sorter (1) directed to the roller cage. The intermediate bottom (8) can be part of a belt (7), which contains an opening for letting the parcels fall in the cage. Alternatively, the intermediate bottom (8) can be part of an articulated curtain with a pneumatic cushion.
The invention is related to a sorting machine comprising propulsion devices installed on ground and at least a train of interconnected carriages provided with supporting wheels including electrical alternators to supply electrical power onboard characterized in that the alternators are housed within the wheels which comprise a fixed inner ring bearing stator windings made integral with a fork supporting the wheel and a rotative outer ring hosting permanent magnets and spinning around a shaft in front of said windings. The generator wheels, when driven by the sorting machine motion, supply small contributions of electrical power which are added up into the electrical distribution bus, a cable that is common to all the interconnected carriages of the sorting machine. Small contributions add up to several kw of power amount available and the carriage servos are able to take advantage of the available power to activate the belt units in order to load parcels and sort to destinations.
