Claim 0:
1. A sorting machine, comprising: a rack, two rail units both installed on the rack and symmetrical to each other, and a sorting cart;
the rail unit comprising:
a transverse rail assembly, the transverse rail assembly comprising a plurality of transverse rails and a plurality of reversing mechanisms, wherein the transverse rail and the reversing mechanism are alternately arranged along a straight line, and the plurality of transverse rails are flush with each other; and
a plurality of mutually parallel vertical rails, wherein the vertical rails and the reversing mechanisms are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and one end of the vertical rail extends to the corresponding reversing mechanism;
the sorting cart comprising:
a frame arranged between the two rail units;
a traveling mechanism installed on the frame and capable of traveling along the transverse rail and the vertical rail of two rail units;
a conveying assembly arranged above the frame and capable of carrying and conveying articles,
wherein, the reversing mechanism is used to switchably connect one transverse rail to one of the transverse rail and the vertical rail adjacent to the transverse rail, the sorting cart switches rails through the reversing mechanism, and a conveying direction of the conveying assembly is different from a traveling direction of the sorting cart,
wherein the reversing mechanism comprises:
a steering member, comprising a bottom plate slidably connected to the rack and a straight rail and a curved rail arranged on an identical surface of the bottom plate;
a driving mechanism configured to drive the steering member to slide;
wherein, the curved rail and the straight rail are successively arranged along a sliding direction of the bottom plate, the straight rail is parallel to the transverse rail and capable of connecting two adjacent transverse rails, the curved rail is capable of connecting adjacent one transverse rail and one vertical rail.
