Dependent claims

A dual-layer linear sorter, comprising:

a delivery mechanism being ring-shaped and configured to comprise an upper layer and a lower layer, wherein a running direction of the upper layer is a first direction, and a running direction of the lower layer is a second direction, the first direction is from one end of the delivery mechanism to the other end of the delivery mechanism, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction;
a first feeding mechanism being close to the upper layer of the delivery mechanism and being docked with one end of the delivery mechanism;
a second feeding mechanism being close to the lower layer of the delivery mechanism and being docked with the other end of the delivery mechanism;
a slewing mechanism being connected to one end of the delivery mechanism;
and
a driving mechanism being connected to the other end of the delivery mechanism;
wherein the driving mechanism is configured to drive the delivery mechanism to circulate in a loop between the driving mechanism and the slewing mechanism, a part of goods are delivered to the upper layer of the delivery mechanism via the first feeding mechanism, and are delivered and sorted along the first direction, another part of the goods are delivered to the lower layer of the delivery mechanism via the second feeding mechanism, and delivered and sorted in the second direction.
