The invention discloses an automatic sorting method for construction waste. The automatic sorting method comprises the following steps that firstly, the construction waste is crushed into material blocks; secondly, ferromagnetic impurities and light waste materials are removed, and the material blocks are conveyed to a conveying plate of conveying equipment; thirdly, feature identification is carried out on the current material blocks to obtain identification data; fourthly, the identification data are compared with the pre-stored data, and the similarity value of the identification data and the pre-stored data is obtained; if the similarity value is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the fifth step is executed; and otherwise, the sixth step is executed; fifthly, a material guide gate of the conveying plate below the current material blocks is driven to open so that the material guide gate can leak the current materials downward and the third step can be executed; and sixthly, the current material blocks are continuously conveyed forward, and the third step is executed. By the adoption of the automatic sorting method for the construction waste, the construction waste canbe effectively identified and sorted, the automatic diversion of brick materials and concrete materials is effectively realized, the sorting efficiency is improved, the harm to workers is avoided, and the labor cost is reduced.
