[0075] Step 1: The initial state of the rotation component 4 is facing line 2, and the initial state of the lever component 1 is facing inward. At this time, the lever 110 is in a downward state.

[0076] Step 2: The two types of goods, one large and one small, will be transported in the middle of line 10 after the previous process. The small-sized goods will not trigger the lever assembly 1, so the goods will be transferred to line 2 via the transfer assembly 4.

[0077] Step 3: Due to the size of the goods, the lever assembly 1 will be triggered. The upper part of the lever assembly 1 will be pushed outward. At the same time, due to the three-way linkage, the indexing assembly 4 will turn the conveying direction to line 3.

[0078] Step 4: At this time, the rotating rod 2 110 will change from a sunken state to an upright state, and the goods will be transferred to line 3 3 via the conveying component 4;

[0079] Step 5: When the goods flow through line 3, the upright rotating rod 110 will be pressed down. At this time, the lever assembly 1 will return to its initial state, and the conveying direction of the indexing assembly 4 will also turn to line 2.
