The plate structure is located at the upper end of the moving wheel set, the lifting component is located at the upper end of the plate structure, and the lifting plate is located at the upper end of the lifting component. The multiple lifting plates correspond one-to-one with the multiple openings. The driving part is located inside the plate structure, and the driving component is used to drive the driving part to move. The multiple plate structures are connected to each other through linkage rods.

[0009] The push component has multiple sets, and the multiple sets of push components are respectively disposed on multiple lifting plates. The push component includes a pusher and a push plate, and the pusher is used to drive the push plate to move.

[0010] The collection box is located below one side of the desktop. An inlet is provided on the rear wall of the collection box. A lifting structure is provided inside the collection box. The lifting structure includes a lifting drive and a lifting frame. The lifting drive is used to drive the lifting frame to rise or fall.

[0011] The aforementioned beneficial effects are as follows: During the bidding process, personnel place the bidding documents one by one onto the lifting plate in the corresponding opening. After the bidding is completed, the lifting component lowers the lifting plate, while the lifting drive component raises the lifting frame to its highest position. Then, the pusher component moves the push plate, pushing the bidding documents on the lifting plate corresponding to the entrance into the lifting frame. Subsequently, the drive component moves the drive unit, which in turn moves a moving trolley. At this time, through the action of the linkage rod, the moving wheel sets in multiple moving trolleys move simultaneously along the track structure, so that the bidding documents on multiple lifting plates are sequentially aligned with the entrance. Whenever a bidding document is aligned with the entrance, the pusher plate moves, pushing the bidding document from the entrance into the lifting frame. The lifting frame then needs to continuously descend to collect multiple bidding documents into the collection box, thus realizing the automatic transportation and collection of bidding documents.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the track structure includes a first elliptical track and a second elliptical track, the moving wheel assembly includes an upper roller and a lower roller, the upper roller cooperates with the first elliptical track, there are two lower rollers, each of the two lower rollers cooperates with the second elliptical track, a connecting plate is provided at the upper end of the two lower rollers, and the upper roller is provided at the middle of the upper end of the connecting plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the driving part has an inner end plate and a driving column, one end of the inner end plate is connected to the inner end of the plate structure, the driving column is disposed on the other end of the inner end plate, the driving component is a driving screw, and the driving column is engaged with the threaded groove on the driving screw.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the pushing component includes a lead screw, a moving block, and a pushing plate. There are two lead screws, each disposed in a guide groove on the lifting plate. The moving blocks are disposed on the two lead screws, and the upper ends of the two moving blocks are connected to the pushing plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting drive unit has two sets, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the collection box. Each set of the lifting drive unit includes a vertical block, a lifting screw, and a lifting block. The vertical block is arranged on the inner wall of the collection box, the lifting screw is arranged in a vertical groove on the vertical block, and the lifting block is arranged on the lifting screw. The inner ends of the two lifting blocks are respectively connected to the two ends of the lifting frame.

[0016] The application method of the automatic acceptance machine provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0017] During the bidding process, personnel place the bidding documents onto the lifting platform inside the opening. After the bidding is completed, the lifting mechanism lowers the lifting platform, which in turn moves the bidding documents down to the bottom of the table. One bidding document will align with the entrance. Simultaneously, the lifting drive mechanism raises the lifting frame to its highest position, and the pusher moves the pusher plate, which pushes the bidding documents from the entrance onto the lifting frame. Then, the drive mechanism moves the drive unit, and the moving wheel set moves along the track structure. Through the action of the linkage rod, multiple moving trolleys move simultaneously, continuously moving the bidding documents on multiple lifting platforms to the positions corresponding to the entrance. Afterward, through the action of the pusher plate on the lifting platform, the documents on each lifting platform are pushed into the lifting frame. At the same time, the lifting frame needs to continuously descend, thus automatically completing the transportation and collection of bidding documents.

[0018] The application method of the automatic acceptance machine provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0019] The motor drives the drive screw to rotate, causing multiple drive pins to continuously move into the threaded grooves. The drive pins then drive the moving trolleys to move. Through the action of the linkage rod, the upper rollers of the multiple moving trolleys move along the first elliptical track, and the two lower rollers move along the second elliptical track, thus enabling multiple moving trolleys to move simultaneously.

[0020] The application method of the automatic acceptance machine provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0021] Whenever a bidding document on a lifting plate aligns with the inlet, a rotary motor drives a lead screw to rotate, causing a moving block to move along a guide groove and move a push plate. The push plate then pushes the bidding document from the inlet into the lifting frame inside the collection box. After a bidding document is pushed into the lifting frame, the lifting frame needs to descend one position inside the collection box to allow the next bidding document to be pushed into the lifting frame.

[0022] The application method of the automatic acceptance machine provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0023] The motor drives the lifting screw to rotate, causing the lifting block to rise or fall along the vertical groove, which in turn drives the lifting frame to rise or fall. Attached Figure Description

[0030] First embodiment:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic acceptance machine, including a desktop 10, a conveying structure 20, a pushing component 30, and a collection box 40;

[0032] The desktop 10 has multiple openings 11;

[0033] The conveying structure 20 is located at the lower end of the desktop 10. The conveying structure 20 includes a track structure 210, a moving trolley 220, a linkage rod 21, and a driving component 230. There are multiple moving trolleys 220, and each of the multiple moving trolleys 220 is movably mounted on the track structure 210. Each of the multiple moving trolleys 220 includes a moving wheel set 221, a driving part 222, a plate structure 223, a lifting part 224, and a lifting plate 225. The plate structure 223 is located at the upper end of the moving wheel set 221, the lifting part 224 is located at the upper end of the plate structure 223, and the lifting plate 225 is located at the upper end of the lifting part 224. The multiple lifting plates 225 correspond one-to-one with the multiple openings 11. The driving part 222 is located inside the plate structure 223, and the driving component 230 is used to drive the driving part 222 to move. The multiple plate structures 223 are connected to each other through the linkage rod 21.

[0034] The push component 30 has multiple sets, and the multiple sets of push components 30 are respectively disposed on multiple lifting plates 225. The push component 30 includes a pusher 310 and a push plate 31. The pusher 310 is used to drive the push plate 31 to move.

[0035] The collection box 40 is located below one side of the desktop 10. The rear wall of the collection box 40 is provided with an inlet 41. The collection box 41 is provided with a lifting structure 50. The lifting structure 50 includes a lifting drive 510 and a lifting frame 51. The lifting drive 510 is used to drive the lifting frame 51 to rise or fall.

[0036] During the bidding process, personnel place the bidding documents onto the lifting plate 225 inside the opening 11. After the bidding is completed, the lifting component 224 lowers the lifting plate 225, which in turn moves the bidding documents down to the tabletop 10. At this point, one bidding document 1 will align with the entry point 41. Simultaneously, the lifting drive component 510 raises the lifting frame 51 to its highest position, and the push component 310 moves the push plate 31. The push plate 31 pushes the bidding document 1 from the entry point 41 onto the lifting frame 51, and then the drive... The component 230 drives the drive unit 222 to move, and the moving wheel set 221 moves along the track structure 210. Through the action of the linkage rod 21, multiple moving trolleys 220 move simultaneously, so that the bidding documents 1 on multiple lifting plates 225 are continuously moved to the position corresponding to the inlet 41. Then, through the action of the push plate 31 on the lifting plate 225, the documents 1 on each lifting plate 225 are pushed into the lifting frame 51. At the same time, the lifting frame 51 needs to be continuously lowered, so that the transportation and collection of bidding documents can be automatically completed.

[0037] Second embodiment:

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the track structure 210 includes a first elliptical track 211 and a second elliptical track 212. The moving wheel set 221 includes an upper roller 2211 and a lower roller 2212. The upper roller 2211 cooperates with the first elliptical track 211. There are two lower rollers 2212, and the two lower rollers 2212 cooperate with the second elliptical track 212 respectively. A connecting plate 2213 is provided at the upper end of the two lower rollers 2212, and the upper roller 2211 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the connecting plate 2213.

[0039] The driving part 222 has an inner end plate 2221 and a driving column 2222. One end of the inner end plate 2221 is connected to the inner end of the plate structure 223. The driving column 2222 is disposed on the other end of the inner end plate 2221. The driving member 230 is a driving screw 231. The driving column 2222 is engaged with the threaded groove 232 on the driving screw 231.

[0040] The motor drives the drive screw 231 to rotate, causing multiple drive pins 2222 to continuously move into the threaded groove 232. The drive pins 2222 then drive the moving trolley 220 to move. Through the action of the linkage rod 21, the upper rollers 2211 of the multiple moving trolleys 220 move along the first elliptical track 211, and the two lower rollers 2212 move along the second elliptical track 212, thus enabling the multiple moving trolleys 220 to move simultaneously.

[0041] Third embodiment:

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, the pushing component 310 includes a lead screw 311, a moving block 312, and a pushing plate 31. There are two lead screws 311, which are respectively disposed in guide grooves 313 on the lifting plate 225. The moving blocks 312 are respectively disposed on the two lead screws 311, and the upper ends of the two moving blocks 312 are respectively connected to the pushing plate 31.

[0043] Whenever a bidding document 1 on a lifting plate 225 corresponds to an inlet 41, the rotary motor drives the lead screw 311 to rotate, the moving block 312 moves along the guide groove 313, and drives the push plate 31 to move. The push plate 31 then pushes the bidding document 1 from the inlet 41 into the lifting frame 51 inside the collection box 40. Whenever a bidding document 1 is pushed into the lifting frame 51, the lifting frame 51 needs to be lowered one position inside the collection box 40 so that the next bidding document 1 can be pushed into the lifting frame 51.

[0044] Fourth embodiment:

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the lifting drive component 510 has two sets, and the two sets of lifting drive components 510 are respectively arranged on both sides inside the collection box 40. Each set of lifting drive components 510 includes a vertical block 511, a lifting screw 512, and a lifting block 513. The vertical block 511 is arranged on the inner wall of the collection box 40. The lifting screw 512 is arranged in the vertical groove 514 on the vertical block 511. The lifting block 513 is arranged on the lifting screw 512. The inner ends of the two lifting blocks 513 are respectively connected to the two ends of the lifting frame 51.

[0046] The motor drives the lifting screw 512 to rotate, causing the lifting block 513 to rise or fall along the vertical groove 514. The lifting block 513 then drives the lifting frame 51 to rise or fall.

[0047] In addition, after the bidding documents 1 on the multiple lifting plates 225 are removed, the multiple mobile trolleys 220 are moved to the corresponding openings 11. Then the lifting component 224 drives the lifting plates 225 to rise, and the lifting plates 225 enter the openings 11, so that they can be used for the next bidding.

[0048] In addition, the lifting component 224 is an electric telescopic rod 2241.

[0049] In addition, the front end of the collection box 40 is equipped with two openable closing plates 71. After the bidding documents are collected into the lifting frame 51 inside the collection box 40, personnel can open the two closing plates 71 and take the bidding documents out of the collection box 40.

[0050] In another application, the method can be reversed: placing the documents to be distributed onto a lifting frame, one side of which has a pushing structure that pushes the documents onto a lifting platform. After transport, the documents are displayed at different locations on a table. This method can also perform delivery tasks; for example, a person can place a document on the lifting platform in one location area, and after delivery, it moves to another location area where another person can receive and review it.
