Two symmetrical through openings 51 are provided on the fixed plate 47 with the partition plate 48 as the symmetry line. A semi-circular notch 50 for air transmission that can communicate with the through opening 51 is provided on the rotating plate 46. Air leakage ports 44 and air supply ports 45 opposite to each other are respectively provided on the outer circumferential surface of the air tank 33 close to the partition plate 48.

[0033] Further, a triangular plate 18 is fixedly provided at the intersection end of the input conveyor belt 10 and the two output conveyor belts 11. A roller 19 is rotatably provided near the intersection side of the triangular plate 18. A number of ball grooves are provided on the triangular plate 18 and a number of balls are slidably provided in the grooves. A first bottom plate 20 is provided near the ground of the triangular plate 18. A first motor 21 respectively connected to the triangular plate 18 through gear transmission is provided on the first bottom plate 20.

[0034] Furthermore, each first motor 21 can be individually controlled to start by a control element to cooperate with sorting packages. The positions of the air release ports 44 and the air intake ports 45 of the air boxes 33 on both sides of the output conveyor belt 11 are opposite. Controlling the movement of the motor by the control element is a mature existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Initial state: The first motor 21 and the second motor 43 are both turned on. The end plate 16 with an electromagnetic plate is not powered on. The air pump 40 is turned on. The fence plate 29 is not pressed. The lock block 37 contacts and locks the relative positions of the locking slider 30 and the slideway 34 under the action of the fourth spring 38.

[0037] The package to be sorted is input from the input conveyor belt 10. During the transportation of the package on the input conveyor belt 10, the scanning plate 13 continuously scans the package information and processes and sends the information to the first motor 21 and the second motor 43. After the package is transported to the triangular plate 18, if there are too many packages, the first motor 21 connected to the roller 19 at the end of the input conveyor belt 10 close to the triangular plate 18 starts and rotates in the reverse direction so that the package no longer moves forward; if the number of packages is normal, the second motor 43 starts and rotates the end plate 16 to block one of the two output conveyor belts 11 according to the received information. The end plate 16 with an electromagnetic plate is powered on so that the end plate 16 is fixed. The first motor 21 connected to the roller 19 at the end of the blocked output conveyor belt 11 close to the triangular plate 18 starts and rotates in the reverse direction. At the same time, the first motor 21 connected to the roller 19 at the end of the other output conveyor belt 11 close to the triangular plate 18 starts and rotates in the direction of the package transportation, and the package is successfully sorted.

[0038] The above steps can be repeatedly operated to perform multiple package sorting.

[0039] When the package is relatively large, it is transported to the triangular plate 18. One end of the package contacts the outer plate 24 on the side end of the inner plate 17. At this time, the package can still move, so that a relative sliding occurs between the inner plate 17 and the end plate 16. The volume of the negative pressure chamber 53 in the inner plate 17 expands, so that a negative pressure is generated in the negative pressure chamber 53 to suck the second pipe 23 into the first pipe 22. When the second pipe 23 is communicated with the air intake port on the first pipe 22, air is inhaled, and the air pressure in the negative pressure chamber 53 is restored, so that the second pipe 23 extends to the initial position; at the same time, the volume of the positive pressure chamber 54 in the inner plate 17 decreases, so that a positive pressure is generated in the positive pressure chamber 54 to push the fourth pipe 26 out of the third pipe 25. When the fourth pipe 26 is communicated with the air outlet on the third pipe 25, air is exhaled, and the air pressure in the positive pressure chamber 54 is restored, so that the fourth pipe 26 extends to the initial position. Finally, the two outer plates 24 fixedly connected to the second pipe 23 and the fourth pipe 26 push the package to change direction, facilitating the rapid transportation of the package.

[0040] When the package is jammed and blocked on the output conveyor belt 11, the package presses the fence plate 29 to drive the piston plate 35 to slide towards the bottom end face of the slider 30, so that the locking block 37 retracts, and the relative locking between the slider 30 and the slideway 34 is released. The air pump 40 is started, and the gas is input into the air tank 33 along the air inlet 45. The gas pushes the partition plate 48 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 46 rotates relative to the fixed plate 47. When the through port 51 on one side of the air inlet 45 is communicated with the semi-circular groove port 50, the gas pushes the telescopic cylinder 32 through the air inlet 49, so that the fence plate 29 slides in the inner groove 14 along the extending direction of the telescopic cylinder 32; the rotating plate 46 continues to rotate relative to the fixed plate 47. When the through port 51 on one side of the air release port 44 is communicated with the semi-circular groove port 50, the gas in the telescopic cylinder 32 is discharged through the air release port 44 along the passage after passing through the air inlet 49, so that the fence plate 29 slides along the retracting direction of the telescopic cylinder 32, and finally a gap is generated between the package and the fence plate 29 to loosen, so that the blockage is removed.

[0041] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
