Fig. 4 is a partial schematic structural diagram of the article sorting system 100 according to the present embodiment. Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in the present embodiment, the first conveyor 115 includes a first belt conveyor 119, the first belt conveyor 119 includes a motor, a driving pulley, a driven pulley and a conveyor belt, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are disposed at an interval in a direction gradually approaching the first packing table 117, the driving pulley is in transmission connection with the motor, and the conveyor belt is simultaneously sleeved on the driving pulley and the driven pulley and is commonly supported by the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The articles output from the temporary storage box 107 fall on the conveyor belt, and the driving pulley is rotated by the motor to drive the conveyor belt to move, so that the articles output from the temporary storage box 107 are conveyed to the first packing table 117.

In detail, in the embodiment, the number of the first belt conveyors 119 is multiple, the first belt conveyors 119 are sequentially arranged along the extending direction of the track 103, and the conveying surfaces of the conveying belts of the first belt conveyors 119 are sequentially connected to ensure that the articles can be sequentially conveyed to the first packing table 117 along the conveying surfaces of the conveying belts. Meanwhile, the first belt conveyor 119 and the track 103 are respectively located on two sides of the temporary storage box 107, an inlet 109 and an outlet 111 are formed in each temporary storage box 107, the inlet 109 is communicated with the bag falling opening 105 at the corresponding position, the outlet 111 is communicated with the first belt conveyor 119, and a door panel for opening or closing the outlet 111 can be arranged at the outlet 111. When the collecting operation is performed, the door panel can be closed, the inlet 109 can receive the articles output from the bag falling opening 105 and store the articles in the temporary storage box 107, and when the full box detection device detects that the articles in the temporary storage box 107 are full, the door panel is controlled to open the outlet 111, so that the articles fall on the conveying belt of the first belt conveyor 119, and then the output articles are conveyed to the first packing platform 117 through the first belt conveyor 119, so as to perform the bag collecting operation.

More specifically, in the vertical direction, an inlet 109 and an outlet 111 of the temporary storage box 107 are opened at the top and the bottom of the temporary storage box 107, respectively, the rail 103 is disposed adjacent to the inlet 109, a support plate 173 is disposed obliquely downward between the rail 103 and the temporary storage box 107, a plurality of partitions 161 are disposed at intervals on the support plate 173, and one bag drop opening 105 is formed between two adjacent partitions 161 and the support plate 173 at the corresponding position. Since the supporting plate 173 is disposed obliquely downward, the articles discharged from the rail 103 easily enter the temporary storage box 107 through the bag dropping opening 105 by the self weight, and since the partition 161 is disposed, the articles entering different temporary storage boxes 107 are partitioned, thereby reducing the occurrence of erroneous sorting.

In addition, the first belt conveyor 119 is specifically disposed below the outlet 111, and an article conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 119 is parallel to an extending direction of the rail 103. By the arrangement, when the door plate opens the outlet 111, articles can fall onto the conveying belt of the first belt conveyor 119, so that the articles can be conveniently conveyed to the first packing table 117 for packing; meanwhile, since the article conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 119 is the same as the extending direction of the rail 103, the occupied space of the article sorting system 100 can be saved, and the space utilization rate can be improved.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the inlet 109 of the temporary storage box 107 may also be opened on the side wall, and a transport plate is disposed between the bag dropping opening 105 and the inlet 109, so that the articles output from the bag dropping opening 105 can be transported to the inlet 109 for being stored in the temporary storage box 107; meanwhile, the outlet 111 of the temporary storage box 107 may also be provided with a side wall, and at this time, a pushing plate may be movably disposed on the bottom wall of the temporary storage box 107, and the pushing plate is in transmission connection with the linear driving mechanism, and is used for pushing out the articles placed on the bottom wall of the temporary storage box 107 from the outlet 111 of the side wall.
