Specifically, both sides of the junction of the output shaft 11 and the belt 12 are provided with the baffle 25, so that the belt 12 is firmly fixed between the two baffles 25, and the belt 12 is prevented from falling off.

Because both ends of the cylinder are hinged, in order to ensure that the supporting plate 6 can stably work without deflection, specifically, sliding rails 15 are arranged on four supporting columns 2, pulleys 16 are connected in the sliding rails 15 in a sliding manner, and a sliding rod 17 is sleeved between two coaxial pulleys 16 in a rotating manner, namely, the pulleys 16 and the sliding rod 17 can relatively rotate, the sliding rod 17 can only slide up and down along the sliding rails 15 along with the pulleys 16, a stabilizing rod 18 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 17, one end of the stabilizing rod 18 is slidably connected to a sliding groove 27 arranged in the supporting plate 6, as shown in fig. 6, when the supporting plate 6 is in a horizontal state, the sliding rods 17 on both sides stabilize the supporting plate 6 in the middle, so that the supporting plate 6 cannot deviate to one side, when one side of the supporting plate 6 is jacked up by the cylinder, the supporting plate 6 drives the stabilizing rod 18 to move upwards, and the sliding rod 17 fixedly connected with the stabilizing rod 18 on one side can only vertically slide upwards along the sliding rails 15, and the sliding rod 17 will drive the stabilizing rod 18 to slide outwards, and the wrapped article will slide to the right on the external track on one side as shown in fig. 14, so as to ensure that one side of the supporting plate 6 can be kept stable and not deviate when being jacked.

When the package is sent into the tracks on the two sides by using the air cylinder, in order to ensure that the package can slide into the external tracks on the two sides more smoothly, specifically, as shown in fig. 9, a plurality of storage grooves 19 which are communicated with each other and penetrate through the surface are formed on the supporting plate 6, and a supporting frame 20 is connected in each storage groove 19 in a sliding manner, a roller 21 is connected on the supporting frame 20 in a rotating manner, the rotating direction of the roller 21 is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt 9, the two ends of the plurality of supporting frames 20 are connected with each other through a connecting rod 22, so that the plurality of rollers 21 can be simultaneously extended out of or retracted from the storage grooves 19, as shown in fig. 9 and 11, the form of the storage grooves 19 is matched with the supporting frame 20 to prevent shaking in the up-down moving process, as shown in fig. 13, a top block 23 which is mutually matched with the stabilizer bar 18 is fixedly connected below the supporting frame 20, and the bottom end of the top block 23 is in a circular arc shape, stabilizer bar 18 keeps away from the one end of slide bar 17 and is equipped with the inclined plane boss, when slide bar 17 drove stabilizer bar 18 and outwards slided, inclined plane boss on the slide bar 18 will contact with kicking block 23, thereby jack-up kicking block 23, kicking block 23 will hold up gyro wheel 21 through support frame 20, make gyro wheel 21 stretch out from accomodating groove 19, lift the parcel goods and can leave conveyer belt 9, thereby guarantee to be lifted up when one side of layer board 6, when needing the parcel to rely on gravity to slide into the track, stretching out of gyro wheel 21 lets the parcel motion become rolling contact and can make frictional force reduce, the parcel slides smoothly.

Specifically, a display screen 26 is mounted on the supporting column 2, and the display screen 26 is electrically connected with the controller 13 so as to page through the logistics sorting records of the mechanism.

The working principle is as follows: as shown in fig. 1, the switch 24 is pressed to start the mechanism, the controller 13 gives a signal to the motor 10, the motor 10 drives the conveyor belt 9 to start to operate through the central shaft 7, when a parcel enters the mechanism along a track on one side of the switch 24, the conveyor belt 9 which is in operation smoothly receives the parcel and drives the parcel to continue to be transported to the middle of the supporting plate 6, when the parcel enters the scanning range of the scanner 14, the scanner 14 identifies logistics information of a label on the parcel and transmits the signal to the controller 13, and the controller 13 which receives the signal respectively controls the motor 10, the first air cylinder 4 and the second air cylinder 5 according to the sorting requirement;

when the package needs to be sent into the track on the side far away from the switch 24, the controller 13 does not transmit a signal outwards, so that the motor 10 continues to operate, and the motor 10 sends the package into the track on the side far away from the switch 24 through the conveyor belt 9;

when the package needs to be sent to the track on the right side of the switch 24, the controller 13 gives a signal to the motor 10 to stop the motor 10, the package stays on the supporting plate 6 at the moment, then the controller 13 gives a signal to the first cylinder 4 on the left side to extend the piston rod of the first cylinder 4 (for example, 10cm) and jack up the left side of the supporting plate 6, as shown in fig. 14, the package can slide into the track on the right side under the gravity at the moment, the package is automatically retracted after the piston rod of the first cylinder 4 extends (keeps for 2 s), and after the piston rod of the first cylinder 4 is retracted, the controller 13 gives a signal to the motor 10 to enable the motor 10 to resume to operate so as to carry out next sorting;

when it is desired to feed a parcel into the track on the left side of the switch 24, the controller 13 will give a signal to the second cylinder 5 and the mechanism operates as it would if a parcel were fed into the track on the right side.
