The invention discloses a control method for a discharging device, and relates to the technical field of material separation devices. The discharging device comprises a shell and a feeding inlet in the upper portion of the shell, and a plurality of discharging outlets are formed in the lower portion of the shell; a plurality of transfer assemblies are arranged on the side, close to the feeding inlet, in the shell, and the transfer assemblies can rotate to transfer materials; a plurality of swing assemblies are arranged on the side, close to the discharging outlets, in the shell, the swing assemblies can swing so as to change the moving directions of the materials which are transferred by the transfer assemblies, and any one discharging outlet can be selectively blocked; a controller is electrically connected with the transfer assemblies and the swing assemblies. The discharging device is adopted in the control method of the discharging device. The discharging device can provide the discharging outlets so that the materials can be transferred for a plurality of production lines at the same time, and the materials can be transferred for the production lines respectively, the structure is simple, the reliability is high, and the efficiency is high. According to the control method of the discharging device, the discharging amount of each discharging outlet can be controlled.
