Express sorting is one of the most tedious tasks in the express logistics industry. The staff needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to sort. Often, due to the large number of express parcels, the goods are piled up, which will delay the arrival time of customers. Compared with the previous manual operation method, machine operation is faster and more accurate. However, during the machine operation process, the goods are often pushed and thrown directly, and some fragile and fragile items are easily damaged. Therefore, a sorting device that can solve the problem is needed. Summary of the invention

The third electromagnetic component on the protection box is magnetically connected to the energized second electromagnetic component, and the transmission wheel drives the protection box to move on the track to the corresponding position of the sub-conveyor belt. The robotic arm mechanism between the circulating conveyor belt and the sub-conveyor belt is started, driving the corresponding protection box to enter the corresponding sub-conveyor belt (the method of driving the movement of goods by the robotic arm mechanism is the same as before.
