They have completely revolutionized the traditional manual sorting mode and greatly improved the operating efficiency and accuracy of the logistics industry. In the prior art, the patent with application number 2019223192911 contains multiple lifting belt sorting devices. In this patent, the lifting belt sorting device is driven by the same turntable, and the number of sorting devices is limited. In order to achieve synchronous movement of more sorting devices, it is possible to consider setting the sorting device in a monomer form and connecting the monomers through a series mechanism. The traditional connection mechanism is either complex in structure and large in volume, or has large restrictions on the mechanism, which makes it easy to cause jams when the sorting devices are mutually restricted and linked to each other during operation. In addition, the traditional connection method is not easy to disassemble and assemble, and it is troublesome to add or remove sorting devices. Utility Model Content

[0017] Beneficial effects: The combined mobile sorting device of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) It is convenient to establish connections between adjacent sorting units. Since the ball joint has rotational freedom in multiple directions and sliding freedom, the postures of two adjacent sorting units can be adaptively adjusted in all directions to compensate for the position changes between adjacent sorting units during the operation of the sorting device. This can reduce the assembly accuracy and the flatness requirements for the running track of the sorting device, so that the sorting device can run smoothly.
