[0006] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the inlet height of the corner transition conveyor belt is lower than the outlet height of the first conveyor belt, and the outlet height of the corner transition conveyor belt is higher than the inlet height of the second conveyor belt; a connecting slide is provided at the outlet of the corner transition conveyor belt, the front end of the connecting slide is placed at the outlet of the corner transition conveyor belt, the rear end of the connecting slide is placed at the inlet of the second conveyor belt, and the rear end of the connecting slide is provided with a connecting notch that matches the straight teeth of the second conveyor belt, so that the straight teeth on the second conveyor belt can pass through the connecting slide without obstruction.

[0007] Furthermore, baffles are provided on both sides of the connecting slide to guide all tableware into the second conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, to prevent damage to fragile tableware during transport, the system also includes several sets of buffer components. Each set of buffer components includes a rotating shaft and buffer teeth. The buffer teeth are made of rubber and are fitted onto the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the corner transition conveyor belt share a motor. The buffer teeth rotate with the rotating shaft. The connecting slide plate has a buffer notch at the position corresponding to the buffer component. The buffer teeth protrude above the connecting slide plate through the buffer notch, thus buffering tableware that falls onto the connecting slide plate.
