Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of various embodiments of the present invention is provided for illustrative purposes only and not for the purpose of limiting the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0021] It is understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, and in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "one" cannot be understood as a limitation on the number. Although ordinals such as "first", "second", etc. will be used to describe various components, those components are not limited here. The term is only used to distinguish one component from another component. For example, the first component can be referred to as the second component, and similarly, the second component can also be referred to as the first component without departing from the teaching of the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more associated listed items. The terms used here are only used to describe the purpose of various embodiments and are not intended to be limited. As used herein, the singular form is intended to also include the plural form, unless the context clearly indicates an exception.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 An automatic delivery mechanism comprises a shell 1; a front end fixing block 2 and a rear end fixing block 3 are arranged at both ends of the shell 1, and an active part and a driven part are arranged between the front end fixing block 2 and the rear end fixing block 3; the active part has a translation component, a transmission component and a reset component; the translation component is connected to the driving part; the transmission component is connected to the driven part; the driven part is provided with a connecting insert 12, and the connecting insert is used to push and sort goods; the movement direction of the translation component is opposite to that of the push plate group.

[0024] Furthermore, the translation assembly includes a guide rod 4; the transmission assembly includes a buckle 5 arranged on the guide rod 4; the reset assembly includes a reset spring 6 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 4, and a reset spring 6 arranged at one end of the reset spring 6.

[0025] The fixed pin 7 can be adjusted; the driven part includes a chain 8 and a sprocket set 9 arranged at both ends of the chain.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the translation component adopts the guide rod 4, and the movement of the guide rod 4 can make the transmission component on the guide rod 4 move at the same time, thereby driving the driven component.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the guide rod 4 is located in the front end fixing block 2 and is connected to the servo motor; the guide rod 4 passes through the front guide rod fixing block 10 and the rear guide rod fixing block 11 in sequence; the return spring 6 is located between the front guide rod fixing block 10 and the rear guide rod fixing block 11; the adjustable fixing pin 7 is arranged at one end of the return spring 6 close to the front guide rod fixing block 10.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driver adopts a linear motor, and the servo motor has the characteristic of stable operation, which provides a stable power source for the device. Due to the presence of the front guide rod fixing block 10, the rear guide rod fixing block 11 and the return spring 6, when the drive is turned off and the power source disappears, the return spring 6 will rebound the guide rod to the initial position.

[0029] In this embodiment, the retreat positions of the guide rod 4 and the return spring 6 are controlled by the adjustable fixing pin 7 .

[0030] Furthermore, the guide rod 4 is located above the chain 8 and the sprocket set 9; the buckle 5 is engaged with the upper surface of the chain 8; and the buckle 5 is located between the front guide rod fixing block 10 and the front end fixing block 2.

[0031] Specifically, the buckle 5 moves with the horizontal movement of the guide rod 4, see Figure 1 It can be seen that the cross-sectional shape of the buckle 5 is similar to a ratchet, and the bottom end thereof can mesh with the rack on the chain 8, thereby driving the chain 8 to move.

[0032] In addition to the need to set a pin between the buckle 5 and the guide rod 4, a retaining spring should also be used for reset.

[0033] Furthermore, the buckle 5 is connected to the guide rod 4 through a pin and a return spring; the sprocket set 9 is fixed to the front end fixing block 2 and the rear end fixing block 3 respectively through tension bolts.

[0034] Specifically, the chain 8 needs to be tensioned between the sprocket sets 9 by means of tensioning bolts.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting insert 12 comprises a push plate assembly 12.1, a tension bolt 12.2, a release bolt 12.3 and a roller assembly 12.4; the roller assembly 12.4 is slidably connected to the inner bottom of the housing 1.
