[0002] During sorting, for NC parts that are easy to roll, a dedicated NC sorting machine is usually required for sorting.

[0003] The patent document with the authorization announcement number CN221109068U discloses a usable NC sorting machine.

[0004] In NC sorting machines, parcels are usually placed on sorting carts manually. In order to ensure smooth manual placement of parcels, the operating speed of the sorting loop of the NC sorting machine cannot be set too fast. Usually, the operating speed of the sorting loop of the NC sorting machine needs to be controlled below 2 m / s, usually 1.5 m / s.

[0005] This greatly limits the operating speed of the sorting loop and is not conducive to improving the sorting efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and to provide a package supply method, system, device and sorting method.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: The packaging method comprises the following steps: S1, placing the parcel on a synchronous package feeding machine, the conveying direction of which is parallel to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley passing through it in the sorting loop; S2, the control device reserves a predetermined sorting trolley for the parcels on the synchronous package supply machine; S3, when the predetermined sorting trolley moves to the predetermined position, the translation module where the synchronous package feeding machine is located drives the synchronous package feeding machine to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley and move at the same speed and in the same direction; S4, after the synchronous package supply machine docks with the predetermined sorting trolley and moves at the same speed and in the same direction, the synchronous package supply machine transports the parcels on it to the predetermined sorting trolley to complete the package supply; S5, after completing the package supply, the translation module drives the synchronous package supply machine to move in the reverse direction and reset.

[0008] Preferably, when a parcel is placed into the synchronous package feeding machine, the identification code information of the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine is read by the barcode reader. When the parcel information is obtained, the control device reserves a predetermined sorting trolley for the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine and binds the predetermined sorting trolley to the sorting grid into which the parcel is to be sorted.

[0009] Preferably, the belt of the sorting trolley is provided with at least two first baffles which are arranged with gaps and extend in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley, the conveying surface of the synchronous package feeding machine is higher than the top of the first baffle, and the conveyor belt of the synchronous package feeding machine is provided with at least two second baffles which are arranged with gaps and are parallel to the first baffle; after the synchronous package feeding machine outputs the parcels thereon, the conveyor belt of the synchronous package feeding machine rotates in the reverse direction to reset the second baffle.

[0010] Preferably, a weighing sensor is provided at the bottom of the synchronous packet feeding machine, and the weighing sensor is provided on a sliding part of the translation module.

[0011] Preferably, the operating speed of the sorting loop is not less than 1.5 m / s and not more than 3.5 m / s.

[0012] The packaging method comprises the following steps: S10, when it is determined that there is a parcel on the synchronous package supply machine, reserving a predetermined sorting vehicle for the parcel on the synchronous package supply machine; S20, when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley has moved to the predetermined position, controlling the translation module where the synchronous packet feeding machine is located to drive the synchronous packet feeding machine to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley and move at the same speed and in the same direction; S30, after the synchronous package feeding machine docks with the predetermined sorting trolley and moves at the same speed and in the same direction, controlling the synchronous package feeding machine to transport the packages on the synchronous package feeding machine to the predetermined sorting trolley to complete package feeding; S40, after determining that the package supply on the predetermined sorting trolley is completed, controlling the translation module to drive the synchronous package supply machine to move in the reverse direction and reset.

[0013] Preferably, when it is determined that there is a package on the synchronous package supply machine, the identification code information of the package on the synchronous package supply machine read by the code reader is obtained and the sorting grid corresponding to the package is determined, and the sorting grid corresponding to the package is bound to the reserved sorting cart.

[0014] Package supply system, including: A trolley reservation unit is used to reserve a predetermined sorting trolley for the parcel on the synchronous package supply machine when it is determined that there is a parcel on the synchronous package supply machine; A synchronization unit, for controlling the translation module where the synchronous packet feeding machine is located to drive the synchronous packet feeding machine to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley and move at the same speed and in the same direction when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley has moved to the predetermined position; A package supply unit, used for controlling the synchronous package supply machine to transport the packages on the synchronous package supply machine to the predetermined sorting trolley to complete package supply after the synchronous package supply machine docks with the predetermined sorting trolley and moves at the same speed and in the same direction; The reset unit is used to control the translation module to drive the synchronous package feeding machine to move in the reverse direction and reset after determining that the package feeding on the predetermined sorting trolley is completed.

[0015] A package supply device comprises a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a program that can be processed by the processor, and when the program is executed, any of the above-mentioned package supply methods is implemented.

[0016] The sorting method comprises any of the above-described packaging methods.

[0017] Preferably, during the sorting process, an abnormality detection sensor at each sorting grid is used to detect whether a package is staying at the sorting grid. If so, the package at the sorting grid is pushed out of the sorting grid by a pushing mechanism at the sorting grid.

[0018] The advantages of the technical solution of the present invention are mainly reflected in: The present invention changes the conventional manual package feeding method of the conventional NC sorting machine, and adopts a synchronous package feeding machine that moves synchronously with the sorting loop line. When the packages are manually fed, the synchronous package feeding machine can be moved synchronously to match the speed of the sorting loop line, thereby meeting the need for stable package feeding when the sorting loop line runs at a higher speed, which is beneficial to significantly improve the running speed of the sorting loop line and to improve the sorting efficiency.

[0019] The present invention enables the synchronous package feeding machine to be arranged on a weighing sensor, and the weight of the package can be measured by the weighing sensor, and at the same time, the code reader is triggered to read the code and determine the reservation sorting trolley, which can effectively enrich the role of the weighing sensor and save additional triggering sensors.

[0020] The present invention arranges an abnormality detection sensor and a pushing mechanism at each sorting grid opening, and can push out the parcel through the pushing mechanism when a parcel fails to effectively fall into the grid at the sorting grid opening, thereby effectively ensuring the reliable use of the sorting grid opening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The purpose, advantages and features of the present invention will be illustrated and explained by the non-limiting description of the following preferred embodiments. These embodiments are only typical examples of the application of the technical solution of the present invention, and any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Example 1 The package supply method disclosed in the present invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The package supply method is based on a sorting system. The sorting system includes a sorter and a package supply machine. The sorter can be a known cross-belt sorter, NC sorter, etc. The cross-belt sorter is, for example, a structure disclosed in the patent document with authorization announcement number CN205797787U, and the NC sorter is, for example, a structure disclosed in the patent document with authorization announcement number CN221109068U.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 As shown, the sorting machine includes a ring-shaped sorting loop 100 formed by a group of sorting carts 110 .

[0027] The package feeding machine includes a synchronous package feeding machine 200 and a translation assembly 300 for driving the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to translate. The specific structure of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 can be matched according to the structure of the sorting trolley 110, and the conveying direction of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is parallel to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley 110 passing through it.

[0028] When the sorting trolley 110 is a conventional sorting trolley 110 of a cross-belt sorting machine, the structure of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is consistent with the belt conveyor of the sorting trolley 110 of the cross-belt sorting machine.

[0029] When the sorting trolley 110 is the sorting trolley 110 of an NC sorting machine, the belt of the sorting trolley 110 is provided with at least two first baffles 111 which are arranged with gaps and extend perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley 110. The belt of the sorting trolley 110 and the first baffle 111 on the belt and the first side baffle 112 on the sorting trolley 110 protruding above the belt can enclose a rectangular storage groove, so that the items on the sorting trolley 110 can be accommodated in the storage groove without falling off the sorting trolley 110, effectively meeting the transportation of packages that are easy to roll. Correspondingly, the structure of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is consistent with the structure of the belt conveyor of the sorting cart 110 of the NC sorting machine, that is, the conveyor belt of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 also has at least two second baffles 210 arranged with gaps and parallel to the first baffle 111, and the conveyor belt and the second baffle 210 on the conveyor belt and the second side baffle 220 on the synchronous package feeding machine protruding above the conveying surface of the synchronous package feeding machine enclose a rectangular receiving groove.

[0030] At this time, the conveying surface of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is higher than the top of the first stop bar 111 of the sorting trolley 110, so that the parcels on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 can be smoothly conveyed to the storage slot of the sorting trolley 110. In addition, after the synchronous package feeding machine 200 starts to output the parcels on it to the sorting trolley 110 where the parcels need to enter, the conveyor belt of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 rotates in the opposite direction until the second stop bar 210 is reset, that is, the two second stop bars 210 and the side stop of the synchronous package feeding machine form a storage slot with the notch facing upwards to allow the parcels to be put in again.

[0031] The translation assembly 300 can be any feasible structure, such as a linear module, or a cylinder 832, an electric cylinder, etc. At the same time, the bottom of the sorting trolley 110 can be slidably arranged on the slide rail 400. The translation direction of the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 driven by the translation assembly 300 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the synchronous packet feeding machine 200. By driving the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 and the sorting trolley 110 to move synchronously through the translation assembly 300, the sorting loop can be operated at a faster speed, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0032] At the same time, in order to improve safety, a guardrail 500 is also provided on the outside of the synchronous package supply machine 200, and the extension length of the guardrail can be consistent with the extension length of the translation assembly 300, so as to avoid collision between the synchronous package supply machine 200 and the package supplier during movement.

[0033] Correspondingly, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the package supply method comprises the following steps: S1, placing the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200, the conveying direction of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is parallel to the conveying direction of the sorting trolley 110 passing through it in the sorting loop 100; S2, the control device reserves a predetermined sorting trolley 110 for the parcels on the synchronous package supply machine 200; S3, when the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to the predetermined position, the translation module where the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is located drives the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and move at the same speed and in the same direction; S4, after the synchronous package supply machine 200 docks with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and moves at the same speed and in the same direction, the synchronous package supply machine 200 transports the packages on it to the predetermined sorting trolley 110 to complete the package supply; S5, after completing the package supply, the translation module drives the synchronous package supply machine 200 to move in the reverse direction and reset.

[0034] In S1, the package can be placed manually on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 located at the first end of the translation component 300, and of course, the package can also be placed on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 located at the first end of the translation component 300 by a robot through adsorption and / or clamping.

[0035] Further, as attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 As shown, a code reader 600 for reading the identification code information (barcode or QR code or electronic tag) of the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is also provided at one end of the translation assembly 300. When the parcel is placed in the synchronous package feeding machine 200, the identification code information of the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 is read by the code reader to obtain the sorting slot 700 to which the parcel is to be sorted. The code reader can be provided on the top and / or side of the synchronous package feeding machine 200. When the identification code information of the parcel is read, the control device reserves a predetermined sorting trolley 110 for the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 and binds the predetermined sorting trolley 110 with the sorting slot 700 to which the parcel is to be sorted.

[0036] Of course, in other embodiments, the package can also be placed on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 after being manually read by a code reader. At the same time, a detection sensor is provided at the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to detect whether there is a package on the synchronous package feeding machine 200. The detection sensor is, for example, a through-beam sensor or a diffuse reflection sensor, etc., and its number and position can be set as needed, which is not limited here. Preferably, as shown in the attached Figure 4As shown, the detection sensor can be a weighing sensor 230 provided at the bottom of the frame of the synchronous package feeding machine 200, and the weighing sensor 230 is provided on the sliding member of the translation assembly 300. At this time, the synchronous package feeding machine should not be connected to the guide rail. At this time, rollers can be provided at the bottom of the frame of the synchronous package feeding machine to provide support for the synchronous package feeding machine in translation; when a package is placed on the synchronous package feeding machine 200, the weighing sensor 230 can measure the weight of the package and determine that there is a package on the synchronous package feeding machine 200, so that the control device can reserve the sorting trolley 110 for the package and bind the sorting grid 700 and the weight of the package to the reserved sorting trolley 110. Of course, when the fixed code reader is provided at the first end of the translation assembly 300, the code reader can also be triggered to read the code by providing the detection sensor.

[0037] In S2, a predetermined sorting trolley 110 is reserved for the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200, that is, one is selected from the sorting trolleys 110 that will pass through the synchronous package feeding machine 200 and have no parcels to receive the parcel on the synchronous package feeding machine 200. The specific scheme for determining whether there is a parcel on each sorting trolley 110 and the position of each sorting trolley 110 is a known technology and is not described here. In addition, when the sorting loop 100 is running, the running speed of the sorting loop 100 is not less than 1.5 m / s and not more than 3.5 m / s, preferably between 2-3.5 m / s.

[0038] In S3, the predetermined position can be designed as needed. For example, the predetermined position is the position when the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to face the end of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 located at the first end of the translation assembly 300. At this time, the translation assembly 300 drives the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to start moving with a certain acceleration, so that the synchronous package feeding machine 200 docks with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and moves at the same speed and in the same direction. For example, after the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to dock with the end of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 at a speed of 3 m / s, the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is set to continue moving for 0.5 seconds, and then the predetermined sorting trolley 110 keeps docking with the synchronous package feeding machine 200 and moves at the same speed. At this time, the moving distance of the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is 1.5 meters. Correspondingly, according to formula V 末 2 -V 初 2=2as, then a=(9-0) / (2*1.5)=3 meters per second squared, thus, when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is facing the end of the synchronous package feeding machine 200, the translation assembly 300 drives the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to move toward the second end of the translation assembly 300 with an acceleration of 3 meters per second squared and maintains a uniform motion after the moving speed of the synchronous package feeding machine 200 reaches 3 meters per second.

[0039] Alternatively, the translation component 300 can drive the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 to accelerate to the operating speed of the sorting loop line 100 according to the set acceleration, and then determine the predetermined position based on the moving distance of the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 when it accelerates to the operating speed of the sorting loop line 100 and the operating speed of the sorting loop line 100.

[0040] For example, the translation assembly 300 is accelerated from 5 m / s squared to 3 m / s. Correspondingly, according to the formula T 加 =(V 末 -V 初 ) / a=3 / 5=0.6 seconds, at the same time, according to V 末 2 -V 初 2 =2as, then the travel distance of the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 during acceleration is S=9 / 10=0.9 meters. Correspondingly, during the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 accelerating and translating, the travel distance of the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is 0.6*3=1.8 meters, and the corresponding predetermined position of the predetermined sorting trolley 110 should be the position 0.9 meters (1.8-0.9) upstream of the synchronous packet feeding machine 200.

[0041] Example 2 This embodiment discloses a package supply method. Different from the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the package supply method of the present invention embodies a control process of a control device. The package supply method includes the following steps: S10, when it is determined that there is a parcel on the synchronous package supply machine 200, a predetermined sorting vehicle 110 is reserved for the parcel on the synchronous package supply machine 200; S20, when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to the predetermined position, the translation module where the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 is located is controlled to drive the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and move at the same speed and in the same direction; S30, after the synchronous package supply machine 200 docks with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and moves at the same speed and in the same direction, the synchronous package supply machine 200 is controlled to transport the packages thereon to the predetermined sorting trolley 110 to complete package supply; S40, after determining that the package supply on the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is completed, controlling the translation module to drive the synchronous package supply machine 200 to move in the reverse direction and reset.

[0042] Similarly, when it is determined that there is a package on the synchronous package feeding machine 200, the control device obtains the identification code information of the package on the synchronous package feeding machine 200 read by the code reader and determines the sorting grid 700 corresponding to the package, and binds the sorting grid 700 corresponding to the package to the reserved sorting cart 110.

[0043] Example 3 This embodiment discloses a package supply system, including: A trolley reservation unit is used to reserve a predetermined sorting trolley 110 for the parcel on the synchronous package supply machine 200 when it is determined that there is a parcel on the synchronous package supply machine 200; A synchronization unit, for controlling the translation module where the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 is located to drive the synchronous packet feeding machine 200 to dock with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and move at the same speed and in the same direction when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to the predetermined position; A package supply unit, used for controlling the synchronous package supply machine 200 to transport the packages on the synchronous package supply machine 200 to the predetermined sorting trolley 110 to complete package supply after the synchronous package supply machine 200 docks with the predetermined sorting trolley 110 and moves at the same speed and in the same direction; The reset unit is used to control the translation module to drive the synchronous package feeding machine 200 to move in the reverse direction and reset after determining that the package feeding on the predetermined sorting cart 110 is completed.

[0044] Example 4 This embodiment discloses a packaging supply device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a program that can be processed by the processor, and when the program is executed, any of the packaging supply methods described above is implemented.

[0045] Example 5 This embodiment discloses a sorting method based on the sorting system in the above embodiment 1, as shown in the attached Figure 5 As shown, a sorting grid is provided on the side of the sorting loop line, and the specific structure of the sorting grid can adopt the structure of a known sorting grid.

[0046] The sorting method includes the package supply method as described above. After the package is supplied to the predetermined sorting trolley 110, the position of the predetermined sorting trolley 110 is tracked according to the existing method, and when it is determined that the predetermined sorting trolley 110 moves to the vicinity of the sorting grid 700 to which the package on it is to be sorted, the predetermined sorting trolley 110 starts to sort the package on it into the sorting grid 700 to complete the sorting.

[0047] And, as attached Figure 6 -Attached Figure 8 As shown, each of the sorting grid openings 700 is provided with an abnormality detection sensor for detecting whether there is a parcel staying at the sorting grid opening 700. When the abnormality detection sensor can detect the parcel continuously for a long time, it can be determined that a parcel is staying at the sorting grid opening 700. At this time, the control device can lock the sorting grid opening, that is, stop controlling the sorting trolley to sort the parcel toward the sorting grid opening, and control the pushing mechanism 800 at the sorting grid opening 700 to push the parcel staying at the sorting grid opening 700 out of the sorting grid opening 700.

[0048] In detail, as in the prior art, as shown in the attached Figure 7 As shown, each of the sorting grids 700 is composed of an inclined bottom plate 710 and two triangular cones 720 distributed with gaps on the bottom plate 710. A group of the triangular cones 720 is arranged on the bottom plate 710, and the group of triangular cones 720 is arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 710.

[0049] As attached Figure 6 -Attached Figure 8 As shown, the abnormality detection sensor may be a known through-beam sensor or a reflective photoelectric sensor 730 and a reflective plate 740. The reflective photoelectric sensor 730 and the reflective plate 740 are used as examples for explanation. The reflective photoelectric sensor 730 and the reflective plate 740 are arranged in two triangular cones 720 constituting a sorting grid 700. Meanwhile, the two triangular cones 720 are provided with detection through holes 721 corresponding to the positions so that the reflective plate 740 can reflect the light emitted by the reflective photoelectric sensor 730. When a package does not slide down from the sorting grid 700, it usually stays at the lower position of the sorting grid 700. At this time, the package will prevent the light from being projected onto the reflective plate 740, so that the reflective photoelectric sensor 730 cannot receive the reflected light from the reflective plate 740. If the reflective photoelectric sensor 730 cannot receive the reflected light from the reflective plate 740 for a long time, for example, for 5-10 seconds, it can be determined that a package is staying at the sorting grid 700.

[0050] As attached Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7 As shown, the pushing mechanism 800 includes a rotating shaft 810 perpendicular to the bottom plate 710, the rotating shaft 810 is close to a side plate 722 of a triangular cone 720 of the sorting grid 700 that is perpendicular to the bottom plate 710 and is located in the middle of the side plate 722, and a pushing plate 820 with an extension direction perpendicular to its axial direction is fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 810. When the rotating shaft 810 rotates, it drives the pushing plate 820 to rotate toward the parcel at the sorting grid 700 and pushes the parcel out of the sorting grid 700.

[0051] The rotating shaft 810 can be rotatably arranged on the base plate 710 by means of a bearing or a sleeve arranged at the lower part of the base plate 710. At the same time, the rotating shaft 810 is connected to a power mechanism 830 that drives its rotation. The power mechanism 830 is arranged at the bottom of the base plate 710 and can adopt various forms as needed.

[0052] For example, in one possible approach, Figure 6 As shown, the power mechanism 830 includes a rocker arm 831 connected to the rotating shaft 810, and the extension direction of the rocker arm 831 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 810. One end of the rocker arm 831 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 810, and the other end of the rocker arm 831 is connected to a cylinder 832 that drives the rocker arm 831 to rotate around the rotating shaft 810. Of course, the cylinder 832 can also be replaced by an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 832 is pivotally connected to the other end of the rocker arm 831 through a U-shaped adapter 833. The rocker arm 831 is provided with a strip hole extending along its length direction for the connecting pin connecting it and the adapter 833 to pass through or the end of the cylinder body of the cylinder 832 is hinged on a fixed seat, and the pivot axis of the hinged connection between the cylinder body and the fixed seat is parallel to the connecting pin and the rotating shaft 810. When the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 832 is retracted, the push plate 820 remains in position one. At this time, the length direction of the push plate 820 is perpendicular to the lower side of the bottom plate 710. When the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 832 is extended, the rocker arm 831 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft 810, thereby driving the rotating shaft 810 to rotate and rotating the push plate 820 to position two. At this time, the push plate 820 is located between the two triangular cones 720 of the partition opening. Its specific position can be designed as needed. For example, when the rotating shaft 810 rotates 90°, the length direction of the push plate 820 is parallel to the lower side of the bottom plate 710. Of course, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft can also be set to other values, which are not limited here.

[0053] In another feasible embodiment, the power mechanism 830 is a reduction motor connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 810, and the reduction motor is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 710 through a motor frame. When the reduction motor is started, it drives the rotating shaft 810 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving the pushing plate 820 to swing between position one and position two.

[0054] In another embodiment, the power mechanism 830 includes a driving motor fixed to the bottom of the lower sliding inclined plate, the driving motor is connected to the rotating shaft 810 through a torque transmission mechanism and drives the rotating shaft 810 to rotate, the torque transmission structure is, for example, a gear torque transmission structure or a torque transmission structure composed of a pulley and a synchronous belt or a torque transmission structure composed of a chain and a sprocket. Therefore, when the driving motor is started, the rotating shaft 810 is driven to rotate through the torque transmission mechanism and then the pushing plate 820 is driven to swing.

[0055] As attached Figure 7 As shown, a certain gap can be maintained between the bottom of the pushing plate 820 and the bottom plate 710, and a brush 821 or soft materials such as sponge are arranged at the bottom of the pushing plate 820 to fill the gap between the pushing plate 820 and the bottom plate 710, so as to meet the pushing requirements of light and thin packages.

[0056] As attached Figure 7 As shown, a confirmation sensor 750 corresponding to each sorting grid opening can be set on the lower side of the bottom plate to determine whether the package staying at the sorting grid opening is pushed out of the sorting grid opening. The confirmation sensor 750 can be a known proximity sensor. When the push mechanism is activated, the confirmation sensor detects the package, and it can be confirmed that the package staying at the sorting grid opening is pushed out. At this time, the push plate of the push mechanism can be kept in position 1 after returning to the position and wait for the next push. If the confirmation sensor does not detect the package after the push mechanism is activated, the push plate can be swung again after being reset. If the confirmation sensor still does not detect the package after the push plate has swung multiple times, the sorting grid opening is kept in a locked state and an alarm is sounded to remind manual processing.

[0057] There are many implementation methods of the present invention, and all technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
