The small automatic express package sorting machine comprises a control module, and a mechanical and electrical transmission module and an information identification module which are in communication connection with the control module. The mechanical and electrical transmission module comprises a supporting table board, a plurality of trays which are arranged on the supporting table board and distributed circumferentially, and a tray driving mechanism driving the trays to move circumferentially. Each tray is provided with a package transfer mechanism used for holding a package and transferring the package to the outside of the supporting table board. The supporting table board is provided with a plurality of sorting openings which are distributed circumferentially and concentric with the multiple trays. A package storage module used for receiving a package transferred from the corresponding package transfer mechanism is arranged in each sorting opening. The information identification module comprises barcode scanners arranged on the multiple sorting openings. The barcode scanners are used for identifying barcode information of the packages arranged on the package transfer mechanisms. The control module stores sorting information of all the sorting openings. Compared with the prior art, the small automatic express package sorting machine is simple in structure, small in occupied area, and low in cost.
