なる等の問題点がみられる。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in conventional sorting equipment using dump trays, the bottom of the dump tray is opened during travel to allow the items to fall and be sorted. The width becomes larger than necessary in proportion to the speed, so the sorting area becomes unnecessarily wide and wasteful, and unloading becomes unstable and uncertain, and it becomes necessary to manually load items into the tray while the vehicle is moving. Or even if it is automatic, it is difficult to handle flexible and lightweight items, the structure of the device is complicated and heavy equipment is required for sorting, making it unsuitable, and operation and maintenance are complicated and expensive.
Furthermore, there are problems with sorting, such as it is difficult to change the layout of the equipment and the installation area becomes large.

な設備を得ることが出来る等の効果が達成される。Effects of the Invention As described above, the dump tray sorting method and sorting apparatus of the present invention are based on the method and sorting apparatus. Since the discharge is carried out by falling, the area of the sorting area is reduced to about half that of the conventional one. Since the distance between the outbound and return routes is about half that of the conventional method to form a right angle and a passage, the number of dump trays and installation area can be reduced compared to the number of dump trays for sorting, which saves space, especially when using multiple tiers above and below. This allows multiple items to be sorted at the same time with a small installation area, further saving space. In addition, the dump tray can be made into a simple structure, making it lightweight, the propulsion force is small, saving resources and energy, and it can also be modularized by having a simple configuration including the propulsion device, trigger device, lifting device, etc. Therefore, by combining these, it is possible to easily create a flexible and flexible arrangement configuration, and it is possible to obtain inexpensive equipment that can be suitably used for sorting lightweight, irregularly shaped items and small items. is achieved.
また、制御装置には一般に使用される小形コンピュータ
の様な適宜な電子制御装置が使用できる。Further, as the control device, an appropriate electronic control device such as a commonly used small computer can be used.
