Then, the actuating device releases the locking of the locking member of the engaging device, which is located in the vicinity of the tray, among the many engaging devices that are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of rotation on the rotating turntable. It should be noted that this locking member locks a part of the elevating member that moves up and down together with the saucer engaging member that can project to a position where it engages with the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the saucer, and holds the saucer engaging member in the non-engaging position. And, when the locking is released, the saucer engaging member is allowed to project to the engaging position. Therefore, when the locking is released by the actuator, the saucer is moved by the saucer engaging member. It is quickly engaged and is discharged laterally from the sorting conveyor at a high speed by the rotating force of the rotary table.
The tray containing the objects to be sorted subsequent to the sorting section that does not correspond to this sorting apparatus does not engage with the tray engaging member, and does not stand by on the sorting conveyor because the operating device does not operate. Be transported in.

とができる。Thus, the tray to be discharged at the sorting discharge position is
Of a number of rotating engaging devices, the engaging member of the engaging device located in the vicinity of the tray is simply engaged by the actuating device to release the engaging member and immediately ejected by the protruding engaging member. Therefore, even if the trays containing the objects to be sorted, which are transported at irregular intervals on the sorting conveyor, are continuously transported by being connected to each other, the sorting and discharging of the trays can be performed smoothly and continuously. No trouble occurs and the trays can be sorted and discharged at high speed.

Then, the sorting signal for each sorting section is sent in synchronization with the progress of the tray 1 on the sorting conveyor 2 and the solenoid 426 of the operating device of the sorting and discharging apparatus 4 provided at the sorting and discharging position corresponding to the sorting section. Operate. When the solenoid 426 is activated, the pusher 427
Strikes a part of the actuation rare bar 428, and the tip end 428a of the actuated actuation lever 428 presses the latch arm 418 of the engagement device 41 located near the tray 11 to lock the lifting member 415. 415a and the locking portion 418a of the latch arm 418
Unlock and. Then, when the lift member 415 released from the lock is projected upward by the elastic force of the spring 416, the tray engaging member 412 provided on one side of the operating punch 411 connected to the lift member 415 causes the tray engaging member 412 of the tray 1 to move. It projects to the inner surface of the peripheral wall and engages with the engaging portion 121. Then, the tray 1 is discharged from above the sorting conveyor 2 to the side of the conveyor conveyor 5 by the rotational force of the rotary table 401 while being engaged with the tray engaging member 412. Then, when the saucer 1 is completely placed on the conveyor 5, the engagement between the engaging portion 121 of the saucer 1 and the saucer engaging member 412 of the engaging device 41 is released by the restoration rail 433, and the saucer 1 is conveyed. It is carried out to a predetermined position by the conveyor 5.
