[0037] By deploying multiple sets of first cameras 7 and multiple sets of second cameras 10, the express delivery can be scanned comprehensively from multiple angles, improving the scanning effect.

[0038] This utility model discloses a novel express parcel scanning and sorting device. During operation, the parcel is first placed on the conveyor 1 for transport. When the parcel reaches the lower side of the lifting plate 6, the first motor 3 is activated. The first motor 3 is threadedly connected to the screw 4, which in turn is threadedly connected to the adjusting block 5. The adjusting block 5, via the lifting plate 6, adjusts the height of the first camera 7. When the first camera 7 reaches a designated distance from the parcel, it scans the label on the parcel. If the first camera 7 cannot scan the label, it controls the activation of the second motor 11. This drives the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate, which is threadedly connected to two sets of moving blocks 13. The two sets of moving blocks 13 then drive the two sets of side plates 9 to adjust their positions. After that, the two sets of hydraulic cylinders 14 are opened, which drive the two sets of side plates 9 to adjust to a suitable height. The second camera 10 on the two sets of side plates 9 scans the side of the express package. After scanning, the express package is conveyed through the conveyor device 1. When the express package is conveyed to the front of the designated push plate 18, the designated electric push rod 17 is opened. The electric push rod 17 drives the push plate 18 to move forward, and the push plate 18 pushes the express package into the designated sorting box 19 for sorting.
