[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-2 One embodiment of this utility model is an automatic lane separating machine.
[0019] The system includes a parcel conveyor with diversion conveyors 4 on both sides. The parcel conveyor includes a base 1 and conveyor rollers. The conveyor rollers are arranged on the top of the base 1 and include main rollers 2 and auxiliary rollers 3. The auxiliary rollers 3 are positioned on the top of the base 1 corresponding to the positions of the diversion conveyors 4. A lane-separating conveyor device 6 is arranged between the auxiliary rollers 3, and a lifting device is arranged at the bottom of the lane-separating conveyor device 6. A parcel scanning device 5 is arranged at the front end of the parcel conveyor, and the parcel scanning device 5 is connected to the lifting device and the lane-separating conveyor device 6 by signal or electrical connection.
[0020] The lane-separating conveyor 6 includes lane-separating conveyor wheels 8, lane-separating conveyor motors 10, and lane-separating conveyor housings 7. The lane-separating conveyor wheels 8 are arranged on the top of the lane-separating conveyor housing 7, and a lane-separating drive wheel 9 is arranged inside the lower part of the lane-separating conveyor housing 7. The lane-separating conveyor motor 10 is located outside the lane-separating conveyor housing 7, and the output end of the lane-separating conveyor motor 10 passes through the lane-separating conveyor housing 7 and is connected to the lane-separating drive wheel 9.
