[0038] The working principle and operation process of this utility model are as follows: During use, goods are placed on conveyor belt 2 for transport. When sorting is required during transport, the sliding seat 35 is controlled to move on the electric slide rail 34. The sliding seat 35 moves, driving the electric slide rail 41 to move. The electric slide rail 41 moves, driving the sliding seat 42 to move. The sliding seat 42 moves, driving the clamping mechanism 6 and the protective mechanism 7 to move until it reaches above the conveyor belt 2. Then, the lifting frame 53 is controlled to descend, pushing the clamping mechanism 6 and the protective mechanism 7 to descend. After proper descent, the electric push rod 62 is controlled to push the connecting buckle 63. The connecting buckle 63 pushes the connecting buckle 64 to rotate within the movable groove 65. During rotation, the connecting arm 66 moves within the extension buckle 67. After adjustment, the clamp 68 can grip the goods. After gripping, the electric push rod 62 is reset. At this time, the sorted goods are clamped. During the clamping process, the control cylinder 72 moves downward, pushing the connecting seat 73 downward. The connecting seat 73 pushes the pressing plate 74 downward until the pressing plate 74 is in close contact with the top of the goods. Then, the control X-axis assembly 4, clamping mechanism 6 and protective mechanism 7 move on the Z-axis assembly 3 until they move to the sorting and placement position of the goods. This can sort the goods on the conveyor belt 2, eliminating manual operation, reducing the difficulty of sorting goods, improving the working efficiency of the device, and also clamping and limiting the sorted goods to ensure the safety of the goods during sorting and handling, and preventing the goods from falling during the movement.
