[0037] The inclined slide assembly 41 includes a first inclined slide 411 and a second inclined slide 412 ; the second inclined slide 412 is assembled at the front end of the first inclined slide 411 .

[0038] The buffer box assembly 42 includes a first buffer box 421 and a second buffer box 422; two first buffer boxes 421 are provided, which are respectively mounted on both sides of the first inclined slide 411; the second buffer box 422 is mounted at the front end of the second inclined slide 412; a buffer plate 4211 is hinged in the first buffer box 421, and a clockwork spring 4212 is connected to the buffer plate 4211, which is movably connected to the first buffer box 421 through the clockwork spring 4212.

[0039] In this embodiment, the interior of the two first buffer boxes 421 is hinged with a buffer plate 4211, the exterior of the two buffer plates 4211 is provided with a clockwork spring 4212, and the two buffer plates 4211 are movably connected to the two first buffer boxes 421 through the two clockwork springs 4212, respectively. The buffer plates 4211 and the clockwork springs 4212 can buffer the impact force of the falling object.

[0040] The elastic component 43 includes an elastic plate 431 and a first elastic member 432 ; the elastic plate 431 is hinged to the inner wall of the second buffer box 422 , and the first elastic member 432 is assembled on the elastic plate 431 .

[0041] The collecting assembly 44 includes a collecting box 441 and a net 442 ; the net 442 is assembled in the collecting box 441 , and the collecting box 441 is installed on one side of the conveyor platform 1 close to the inclined slide assembly 41 .

[0042] Specifically, a first inclined slide 411 is fixedly installed in front of the conveyor platform 1, two first buffer boxes 421 are arranged outside the first inclined slide 411, a second inclined slide 412 is fixedly connected to the front of the first inclined slide 411, a second buffer box 422 is fixedly installed in front of the second inclined slide 412, a spring plate 431 is hinged inside the second buffer box 422, and a first elastic member 432 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spring plate 431, a collecting box 441 is fixedly installed in front of the conveyor platform 1, and a net 442 is arranged inside the collecting box 441.

[0043] In this embodiment, a bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor platform 1, and an infrared sensor 6 is arranged outside the bracket 5. By setting the infrared sensor 6, the passage of the object can be sensed, which is conducive to the start of the subsequent device and facilitates the sorting of the sorting mechanism 3. In addition, the conveyor platform 1 is fixedly connected to an external computer, and a corresponding computing control system is arranged inside the computer. All electronic components in this patent are electrically connected through wires, so that the computer controls all electronic components in this patent through computing and analysis to perform division of labor.

[0044] In this embodiment, movable grooves are provided inside the two first buffer boxes 421, and the two movable grooves are respectively adapted to the two buffer plates 4211. By providing the movable grooves, when the two buffer plates 4211 buffer the impact force of falling objects, the two buffer plates 4211 can be retracted into the two first buffer boxes 421 to avoid objects being stuck.

[0045] When implementing, follow these steps: S1. After the object is placed on the top of the conveyor platform 1, the barcode on the object is scanned by the scanning device 2, and the computing control system connected to the outside analyzes the information and allocates the collection box 441 to which it needs to go. For example, the object needs to go to the fifth collection box 441. After being identified by five infrared sensors 6, the infrared sensor 6 sends a signal to the computing control system when detecting that the object has passed. The computing control system controls the pushing device 32 and the intercepting device 33 according to the barcode information; specifically, the computing control system causes the electric multi-stage telescopic rod 331, the card plate 335 and the card rod 333 to extend quickly, and the object is intercepted and pushed to the buffer mechanism 4.

[0046] S2, the electric hydraulic telescopic rod 321 extends to push the object away, and then the electric multi-stage telescopic rod 331 quickly retracts; when the large object is pushed out, the object slides downward through the first inclined slide plate 411, and the object touches the two buffer plates 4211 to buffer the impact, and then the spring spring 4212 rebounds the buffer plates 4211 to their original positions; S3, the object slides down onto the second inclined slide plate 412 again, and the impact of the object is cushioned by the hinged spring plate 431 and the first elastic member 432, and then the object slides down to the left along the second inclined slide plate 412, and the object falls onto the pocket net 442 inside the collection box 441, and is cushioned again.

[0047] In summary, the logistics production automated sorting equipment, through the sorting mechanism 3, after placing the object on the top of the conveyor platform 1, scans the barcode on the object through the scanning device 2, and distributes the collection box 441 to which the object needs to go after analyzing the information through the computing control system connected to the outside. For example, if the object needs to go to the fifth collection box 441, after being identified by the five infrared sensors 6, the computing control system makes the electric multi-stage telescopic rod 331 extend quickly, so that the card plate 335 and the card rod 333 extend quickly to restrict the object, and then the electric hydraulic telescopic rod 321 extends to push the object away, and then the electric multi-stage telescopic rod 331 contracts quickly. The sorting mechanism 3 can limit the direction in which large objects are pushed out to avoid squeezing and damaging the objects.

[0048] In addition, by providing a buffer mechanism 4, when a large object is pushed out, the object slides downward through the first inclined slide plate 411, and the object touches the two buffer plates 4211 to buffer the impact, and then the clockwork spring 4212 rebounds the buffer plate 4211 to its original position, and then the object slides down again to the inside of the second inclined slide plate 412, and the impact of the object is buffered by the hinged spring plate 431 and the first elastic member 432, and then the object slides down to the left along the second inclined slide plate 412, and the object falls onto the bag net 442 inside the collection box 441, and is buffered again. The buffer mechanism 4 buffers the sorted objects to prevent them from falling and being damaged.

[0049] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
