[0034] In this embodiment, by providing the limiting block 10 and the connecting groove 11, the moving track of the connecting plate 761 can be limited so that it can move stably.

[0035] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the two guide plates 6 are arranged at an incline in a V shape, and rotating parts 12 are bolted on both sides of the rear side of the main line conveying structure 1, and a connecting plate 13 is bolted on the side of the rotating part 12 close to the guide plate 6, and the side of the connecting plate 13 close to the guide plate 6 is bolted to the guide plate 6, and a limiting spring 14 is bolted between the guide plates 6 close to the inner wall of the main line conveying structure 1.

At the same time, the PLC controller 4 controls the barcode scanner 5 to scan the barcode of the goods passing through its position, so that it can be sorted to the corresponding branch line slideway structure 2 through the sorting mechanism 7. At the same time, the PLC controller 4 controls the reduction motor 9 to drive the bidirectional screw 73 to rotate through the position sensor, and the bidirectional screw 73 and the screw sleeve 74 can cooperate with each other to drive the connecting plate 761 to move through the connecting seat 75, so that the contact plate 763 is consistent with the moving direction of the goods. When the goods move to the bottom of the bracket 71, the PLC controller 4 controls the cylinder 762 to work, so that it pushes the contact plate 763 downward, so that the goods contact the side stop of the contact plate 763, and at the same time, the contact plate 763 applies a certain pressure to it to maintain the position of the goods, and then the PLC controller 4 controls the reduction motor 9 to operate, repeats the movement of the above-mentioned connecting plate 761, so that the goods are accurately aligned with the connection between the main line conveying structure 1 and the branch line slide structure 2, and the goods are moved to the corresponding branch line slide structure 2 to complete the sorting work.
