A dual-layer linear cross belt sorting system, comprising a package supply table (1), a sorting loop (2), a platform (3), sliding chutes (4) and a scanning device (5). The sorting loop is of a closed-loop and dual-layer linear conveying structure in the vertical direction, and comprises a plurality of sorting trolleys (6) connected along a single queue, two sets of dual-layer rails formed by connecting bent rails (9) located at the two ends and straight rails (8) located at the upper and lower layers to each other by means of internal welding, a driving component (12) and a tensioning component (13). The driving component and the tensioning component constitute a transmission structure of the sorting loop and are located at the two ends of the loop respectively; and the dual-layer rails distributed along the two sides of the sorting trolleys of the single queue and a synchronous belt connected between the driving component and the tensioning component jointly constitute the vertical, dual-layer linear and closed-loop conveying mechanism of the sorting loop. Packages of small or big sizes enter a package supply region and then enter the trolley of the sorting loop from a package supply device, such that simultaneous package supply and automatic sorting at the upper layer and the lower layer are realized, and the whole system is more accurate in sorting and realizes the lightweight and modular apparatus assembly and maintenance.
