[0041] When preparing to place the welcoming objects in the welcoming robot, the staff controls the electric slide rail 5 to drive the slider 6 to slide forward, thereby driving the placement box 7 to move forward, and the placement box 7 drives the pull-out box 8, the first slide plate 9, the rubber block 10, the first spring 11, the first fixed rod 12, the second slide 13, the second spring 14, the connecting frame 16 and the support rod 18 to move forward and out of the robot body 1 as a whole. When the placement box 7 and the slider 6 slide to the front of the guide groove of the second slide 13, the placement box 7 rotates and tilts downward. At this time, the staff puts the room card objects to be collected by the guests in the card slot 7b, puts the letter objects to be collected in the file slot 7a, and puts the gift box objects to be collected through the rectangular hole 7c. Placed in the pull-out box 8, before that, people can push the pull-out box 8 left and right according to the size of the gift box-like objects, so that the pull-out box 8 slides on the first slide plate 9, and the first slide plate 9 slides on the placement box 7, so that the opening size of the pull-out box 8 can be adjusted according to the size of the gift box-like objects, and the nut 4 can be adjusted according to the height of all objects to make the first slide 3 move up and down, thereby driving the electric slide rail 5, the slider 6, the placement box 7, the pull-out box 8, the first slide plate 9, the rubber block 10, the first spring 11, the first fixed rod 12, the second slide 13, the second spring 14, the connecting frame 16, the guide rod 17, the support rod 18, the second fixed rod 20 and the push frame 21 to move up and down as a whole until they are adjusted to a suitable height.

[0042] When placing gift box-like objects into the pull-out box 8, the gift box-like objects squeeze the rubber block 10 to slide outward, and the first spring 11 is compressed, thereby achieving the effect of clamping the gift box-like objects. When the rubber block 10 on the left side slides, it squeezes the second slide 13 to slide downward along the first fixed rod 12, and the second spring 14 is compressed, so that the second slide 13 is stuck in the corresponding limit groove 15, thereby fixing the adjusted pull-out box 8, preventing the pull-out box 8 from sliding left and right at will, and improving the stability of storing gift box-like objects.

[0043] When the connecting frame 16 moves forward, it will drive the support rod 18 to move forward. At the same time, under the limiting effect of the guide rod 17, the front part of the support rod 18 is tilted upward and just supported on the front side of the bottom of the placement box 7 that is rotated and tilted downward, which plays the effect of supporting the placement box 7, improving the stability of the placement box 7, and preventing the placement box 7 from being unstable when swinging downward and causing objects to fall.

[0044] After placing the objects, the staff controls the electric slide rail 5 to drive the slider 6 to slide backward, thereby driving the placement box 7 to move backward. The placement box 7 drives the pull-out box 8, the first slide plate 9, the rubber block 10, the first spring 11, the first fixed rod 12, the second slide 13, the second spring 14, the connecting frame 16, the support rod 18, the second fixed rod 20 and the push frame 21 to move backward into the robot body 1 as a whole. In this way, the storage of the welcoming objects is completed.

[0045] When the guest needs to take the welcome items, the guest can control the electric slide rail 5 to drive the slider 6 to slide forward, so that the placement box 7 with the items moves forward and rotates and tilts downward. At this time, the guest can take away all the items. When taking away items such as room cards and letters, the guest can manually lift up the push frame 21 so that the push frame 21 slides upward along the second fixed rod 20, so that the room card items and the letter items are simultaneously pushed up by the push frame 21, which is convenient for the guest to take the room card items and the letter items. After letting go, the push frame 21 slides downward along the second fixed rod 20 under the action of gravity to reset.

[0046] When taking out a gift box-like object from the pull-out box 8, the gift box-like object releases the rubber block 10, and the first spring 11 resets to drive the rubber block 10 to slide inward. The rubber block 10 on the left gradually releases the second slide 13 as it slides, and the second spring 14 resets to drive the second slide 13 to slide upward along the first fixed rod 12, so that the second slide 13 disengages from the corresponding limit groove 15, thereby releasing the fixation of the pull-out box 8.

[0047] When the connecting frame 16 moves backward, it drives the supporting rod 18 to move backward. At the same time, under the limiting effect of the guide rod 17, the supporting rod 18 is retracted into the robot body 1.

[0048] In the above process, under the elastic force of the third spring 24, the second slide plate 23 always moves up and down with the placement box 7, so that the second slide plate 23 and the fixed plate 22 can always block the front side of the robot body 1, thereby shielding the internal parts of the robot body 1, which is more beautiful and safer.

[0049] The above description is only an example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The contents not elaborated in detail in the present invention belong to the existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
