(1) The goods-to-person sorting equipment is provided with six seeding positions 11 and two sorting positions 12, each seeding position 11 is provided with a serial number, when the sensing mechanism corresponding to a certain seeding position 11 judges that an order box 71 needs to be emptied, the empty order box 71 enters from the inlet end of the first conveying line 20 and is conveyed to the position below the seeding position 11 to stop, at the moment, the lifting device 40 corresponding to the seeding position 11 clamps the empty order box 71 from two sides through the clamping mechanism 42, after clamping is completed, the lifting mechanism 41 drives the clamping mechanism 42 to drive the empty order box 71 to lift to the seeding position 11, and the empty order box 71 is replenished, and because the seeding position 11 and the first conveying line 20 are at different heights, the empty order box 71 is replenished to the seeding position 11 at any time;

(2) After the order requirement is issued, the box 72 to be sorted filled with goods enters the sorting position 12 from the inlet end of the second conveying line 30, at the moment, the name of the goods and the quantity of the goods to be sorted to the seeding positions 11 of each number are displayed on the display screen 50 corresponding to the sorting position 12, at the moment, the indicating lamp 60 corresponding to the seeding position 11 is turned on to indicate that the seeding is required, a picker puts the goods into the seeding position 11 with the light according to the sorting information prompted by the display screen 50, and after the goods are put into the seeding position, the indicating lamp 60 is turned off to indicate that the single-time sorting work is finished;

(3) In the picking process, after the order picking at a certain sowing position 11 is completed, an order box 71 is generated, the picking operation avoids the sowing position 11 at this time, then the lifting mechanism 41 of the lifting device 40 corresponding to the sowing position 11 drives the clamping mechanism 42 to drive the order box 71 to descend, the order box 71 is placed on the first conveying line 20, the order box 71 is conveyed to the outlet end of the first conveying line 20 by the first conveying line 20, the next process flow is carried out, meanwhile, the empty order box 71 needs to be supplied, and the step (1) is repeated.
