(Prior art) In this type of conventional automatic sorting input device,
Skilled workers look at the information displayed on the parcels they are trying to sort and code the sorting destination by typing or voice input, or label the parcels to be sorted with barcode labels or text labels that correspond to the sorting destination. Operators had to line up the items on the conveyor in order to attach them, keep them within a predetermined angle to prevent jamming, and have a machine read the barcodes and characters.
Therefore, if an automatic sorting machine has multiple input sections, the same number of operators as the number of input devices are required.

Next, the positional configuration and operation of each part of this embodiment will be explained. A large number of pans 1 are connected to each other by driving an endless rail using a chain or the like. When the baggage loaded on pan 1 is transferred to pan 1, the baggage sorting code read by the barcode reader BR is sent to a control device (not shown), and the baggage is transported to a pre-memorized predetermined position. After that, the pan 1 is tilted to drop the load. The cargo 9b is on the timing conveyor 3, and the conveyor 3 is stopped waiting to be transferred to the pan 1. When the empty pan moves to a position suitable for transfer, the timing conveyor 3 is driven and the cargo 9b is transferred to the pan 1. Next, the timing conveyor 3 stops when the cargo 9c on the buffer conveyor 4 is transferred. Next, the operator waits until the pan 1 moves to a position suitable for transfer.

An angle correction conveyor 5 is included in the buffer conveyor 4.
The upper baggage 9d is transferred and the buffer conveyor 4 temporarily stops when there is a baggage on the timing conveyor 3, and if there is no baggage, the baggage is immediately transferred to the timing conveyor 3 without stopping.
In this way, the packages 9b, 9c, and 9d are transferred to the pan 1 one after another and transported to the sorting destination. The sorting code of the baggage on the buffer conveyor 4 is read by the barcode reader BR, and the reader BR
sends a sorting control signal to a control section (not shown). The cargo is transferred from the supply conveyor 8 to the speed increasing conveyor 7, but if for some reason the cargo is conveyed with a deviation of more than a predetermined angle like 9e or 9g, the speed increasing conveyor 7 The speed is increased, the sheet collides with the backing plate 6, the angle is corrected, and the sheet is dropped and transferred onto the angle correction conveyor 5, where the direction is changed by 90 degrees and the sheet is conveyed. Note that the head of the transfer section from the supply conveyor 8 to the speed-up conveyor 7 is to prevent falls due to speed increase during transfer, and the head of the transfer section from the speed-up conveyor 7 to the angle correction conveyor 5 is The h2 can be adjusted to the optimum conditions so that the angle of the cargo is corrected before it is dropped and transferred.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, the present invention prevents jamming by correcting the angular deviation of the baggage to be sorted by more than a predetermined value without the baggage falling over and transferring it onto the conveyor. This eliminates the need for arranging workers and provides a fully automatic sorting input device with extremely high throughput.
