The sorting device includes several independently rotatable disc units 30, all of which are arranged side by side with their centers on the same horizontal line. The conveying device passes through all the disc units. Each disc unit includes an annular outer shell 31, an annular inner shell 32, and several trays 33 located between the annular outer shell and the annular inner shell. The trays are open at both ends and connected by annular connectors 34. The trays are evenly distributed along the annular inner shell. The top of the annular outer shell has a lifting opening 311, and the top of the annular inner shell has a feeding inlet 321 with an opening and closing mechanism 40. The bottom of the annular outer shell has a lifting opening 311.

[0031] Workers affix different labels to different types of products and materials, place them on the feeding device, and then scan the labels with a barcode scanner. The backend system uses this information to obtain the product / material information and assign it a corresponding distribution location and storage cabinet. The feeding device then conveys the product / material to the conveyor device 10, which transports it to the distribution location, specifically below the inlet 321 of the corresponding disc-shaped unit 30. The backend system controls the rotation of the annular connector 34 within the disc-shaped unit, which drives the empty disc 33 within the unit to rotate, displacing it to the inlet 321. Next, the backend system controls the opening / closing mechanism 40 to open the inlet 321, allowing the elevator 50 to pass through the lifting opening 311, the disc 33, and the inlet 321 from top to bottom, retrieving material from the conveyor device 10. The elevator 50 then rises, and the product / material is located within the disc 33. Subsequently, the opening and closing mechanism 40 closes the inlet 321, the elevator releases the product and material, and rises to its original position. The control unit rotates the annular connector 34 within the disc-shaped unit, transferring the product and material from the tray 33 to the outlet 312.
