Abstract

Disclosed are a slidably openable or closable type cargo sorter and a method of sorting cargo using the same. The cargo sorter includes a plurality of divided sections which form a separate space, a plurality of slidable opening or closing devices which each have an inclined surface formed in a row at a position corresponding to each of the divided sections to be inclined as an openable or closable door so as to transfer cargo using the inclined surface and to sort the cargo by changing an approach path of the cargo by opening the door, a position determination portion configured to determine a cargo proceeding path including a destination section where the cargo is finally discharged and to control movement of the cargo along the determined proceeding path, and an opening or closing control portion configured to control opening or closing of each of the slidable opening or closing devices so as to discharge the cargo into the destination section determined by the position determination portion.
