DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are greatly simplified and not to exact scale, and are provided solely for the purpose of conveniently and clearly illustrating the embodiments of the present invention.

[0040] Currently, manual scanning is commonly used to scan memory stick information. During manual scanning, the scanner holds a scanner in one hand and picks up the memory stick in the transport box with the other. However, manual scanning is slow and can miss scanned items, resulting in no recorded information on the installed memory stick. To address these issues, embodiments of the present invention provide a scanning device and system, which are described in detail below.

[0041] First, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The scanning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a container 1 for placing a memory stick 17, the container 1 having a first side 105 and a second side 106 arranged opposite to each other, the first side 105 having a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other, the first end of the first side 105 being rotatably connected to the turnover member, and the second end of the first side 105 being connected to a protruding member 5; a tilting drive assembly 3, including a first driving member 301 and a moving member 302 connected to the first driving member 301, the first driving member 301 being used to drive the moving member 302 to move, the moving member 302 being used to drive the protruding member 5 to rotate along a first direction, so that the container 1 rotates along the first direction; a scanner 4, being used to scan the identification code on the memory stick 17; wherein, after the moving member 302 drives the container 1 to rotate along the first direction through the protruding member 5, the second side 106 of the container 1 is tilted, and the identification code of the memory stick 17 placed in the container 1 is exposed and faces the scanner 4.

[0042] The first side 105 and the second side 106 of the container 1 are arranged opposite each other along the length of the container 1. The first end of the first side 105 can be the bottom of the first side 105, in which case the second end of the first side 105 can be the top of the first side 105. The first end of the first side 105 of the container 1 can be rotatably connected to the rotating member via the rotating shaft 14. When the container 1 rotates, the container 1 rotates about the axis of the rotating shaft 14. The protruding member 5 specifically protrudes outside the rotating member to facilitate the rotation of the protruding member 5 by the moving component 302 located outside the rotating member. The protruding member 5 can be a bar-shaped block structure.

[0043] The turnover member may be a turnover box 2. The scanning device further includes a base 11, on which the turnover box 2 may be placed. The identification code on the memory stick 17 is located in the identification code area 1701. The identification code on the memory stick 17 may be a barcode. After the memory stick 17 is placed in the container 1, the identification code area 1701 is adjacent to the second side 106 of the container 1, and the identification code area 1701 is located at the top of the memory stick 17. The bottom of the container 1 may not contact the bottom of the turnover box 2. In this case, a support block 15 may be provided in the turnover box 2 to support the second side 106 of the container 1.

[0044] The turnover box 2 contains multiple storage components 1. After multiple memory sticks 17 are placed in the multiple storage components 1, the identification codes on the memory sticks 17 are blocked by adjacent memory sticks 17. In this case, the identification codes on the memory sticks 17 cannot be directly scanned by the scanner 4. The tilting drive assembly 3 must first drive the storage component 1 to rotate in the first direction to tilt the second side 106 of the storage component 1. Only then can the identification codes on the memory sticks 17 be scanned by the scanner 4. It should be noted that the storage component 1 does not completely block the memory sticks 17; the storage component 1 has at least one exposure slot to expose the identification codes on the memory sticks 17.

[0045] The first direction may be counterclockwise. Figure 3 The direction is indicated by the dashed arrow. In one embodiment, the moving member 302 is a rotatable member, and the first driving member 301 is used to drive the moving member 302 to rotate. During the rotation of the moving member 302, the protruding member 5 can be driven to rotate in the first direction. In another embodiment, the first driving member 301 can be an electric push rod, and the moving member 302 is a connecting rod. The moving member 302 abuts against the protruding member 5, or the moving member 302 is hinged to the protruding member 5. The first driving member 301 is used to drive the moving member 302 to move downward or upward. When the first driving member 301 drives the moving member 302 to move downward, the moving member 302 pushes the protruding member 5 to rotate in the first direction.

[0046] In this embodiment of the present invention, the tilting drive assembly 3 drives the accommodating member 1 to rotate in a first direction, tilting the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1. This exposes the identification code of the memory stick 17 placed in the accommodating member 1 and directs it toward the scanner 4, thereby enabling the scanner 4 to scan the identification code on the memory stick 17. In this embodiment of the present invention, the identification code of the memory stick 17 can be automatically scanned without the need for manual removal of the memory stick, thereby increasing the scanning speed of the memory stick identification code. Compared to manual scanning, this method eliminates the risk of missed scans, incorrect scans, or duplicate scans, thereby improving overall scanning accuracy.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1The moving component 302 includes a turntable 3021 and at least one dial block 3022 connected to the turntable 3021. The first driving member 301 is used to drive the turntable 3021 to rotate, and the dial block 3022 rotates with the rotation of the turntable 3021. During the rotation of the dial block 3022, it is used to drive the protruding member 5 to rotate along the first direction, so that the accommodating member 1 rotates along the first direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the turntable 3021 is driven to rotate by a first driving member 301, which can be a motor, the output shaft of which is connected to the turntable 3021. Two shifting blocks 3022 can be connected to the turntable 3021, and the two shifting blocks 3022 can be symmetrically arranged. When the turntable 3021 is rotated by the first driving member 301, the shifting blocks 3022 also rotate accordingly. During this rotation, the shifting blocks 3022 shift the protruding member 5, causing it to rotate in a first direction. The rotation of the protruding member 5 is transmitted to the accommodating member 1, causing the accommodating member 1 to rotate in the same direction. In this embodiment, the structure of the moving member 302 is simple, facilitating manufacture and maintenance.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 There are multiple accommodating parts 1, and the multiple accommodating parts 1 are arranged at intervals along the second direction; the scanning device also includes a moving drive component 6, which is connected to the tilting drive component 3, and the moving drive component 6 is used to drive the tilting drive component 3 to move along the second direction.

[0050] The base 11 has a length direction and a width direction, and the length direction of the base 11 is parallel to the second direction. The base 11 has a front end and a rear end arranged opposite to each other along its width direction. When the turnover box 2 is placed on the base 11, the first side 105 and the second side 106 of the container 1 therein are respectively close to the front end and the rear end of the base 11. The mobile drive assembly 6 is installed at the front end of the base 11. The second direction can be referred to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plurality of containers 1 are placed in the same turnover box 2 in the direction indicated by the arrow C.

[0051] The mobile drive assembly 6 can be a ball screw assembly. In this case, the mobile drive assembly 6 includes a drive motor, a lead screw 601, a ball nut, a connector 602, and a slide. The lead screw 601 is rotatably connected to the base 11, the ball nut is connected to the lead screw 601, and the connector 602 is connected to the ball nut. The connector 602 is connected to the first drive member 301 via a support. The slide is set on the base 11, and the connector 602 is slidably connected to the slide. The drive motor is connected to the lead screw 601 and is used to drive the lead screw 601 to rotate. When the lead screw 601 rotates, it drives the ball nut to move, and when the ball nut moves, it drives the connector 602 to slide on the slide.

[0052] The process of scanning the identification codes of multiple memory sticks 17 using the above-mentioned scanning device may include: after the turnover box 2 is placed, the moving drive assembly 6 is activated, thereby driving the tilting drive assembly 3 to move rightward, and the first drive member 301 is activated to drive the turntable 3021 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 3021 drives the shift block 3022 to rotate. During the rotation of the shift block 3022, the protruding member 5 is shifted. As the turntable 3021 rotates and moves rightward, the multiple protruding members 5 are sequentially shifted from left to right, causing the multiple accommodating members 1 to rotate in the first direction around the axis of the rotating shaft 14 in sequence, so that the second sides of the multiple accommodating members 1 are sequentially tilted. After the second sides of the accommodating members 1 are tilted, the identification code areas 1701 of the memory sticks 17 therein are exposed, and the identification codes of the memory sticks 17 are scanned by the scanner 4. It should be noted that after the identification codes of all the memory sticks 17 are scanned, the moving drive assembly 6 drives the tilting drive assembly 3 to return to the left.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting the mobile driving component 6, the tilting driving component 3 can be driven to move along the second direction, so that the tilting driving component 3 can sequentially drive the multiple accommodating components 1 arranged at intervals along the second direction to tilt, so that the scanner 4 can sequentially scan the identification codes on the memory bars 17 contained in the tilted accommodating components 1, and then the scanning device can automatically and continuously scan the identification codes on the multiple memory bars 17.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , the second side 106 of the container 1 is connected to an elastic member 10, and a support buffer assembly 8 is provided on the turnover member. When the second side 106 of the container 1 is tilted, the elastic member 10 is located above the support buffer assembly 8, and the top of the support buffer assembly 8 is in contact with the elastic member 10. The support buffer assembly 8 is used to provide support for the second side 106 of the container 1 after the second side 106 of the container 1 is tilted. The material used for the elastic member 10 can be rubber. After the moving component 302 drives the container 1 to rotate along the first direction through the protrusion 5 to tilt the second side 106 of the container 1, the top of the support buffer assembly 8 is in contact with the elastic member 10, so that the second side 106 of the container 1 can temporarily remain tilted, to ensure that the scanner 4 has enough time to scan the identification code.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1The scanning device also includes a pushing component 9 and a reset component 7. The pushing component 9 is used to push the rotatable component to move along the second direction toward the reset component 7; the reset component 7 has a reset surface 701, and the reset surface 701 is an inclined surface or an arc surface. During the process of the pushing component 9 pushing the rotatable component to move toward the reset component 7, the reset surface 701 contacts the second side 106 of the tilted accommodating component 1 to reset the second side 106 of the accommodating component 1; during the process of resetting the second side 106 of the accommodating component 1, the elastic component 10 undergoes elastic deformation to move to the bottom of the supporting buffer component 8.

[0056] The scanner 4 can be connected to the top of the reset member 7. The pushing assembly 9 includes a second driving member 901 and a push plate 902 connected to the second driving member 901. The second driving member 901 can be an electric telescopic rod. The base 11 can be provided with a mounting plate 12, and the second driving member 901 can be mounted on the mounting plate 12. Initially, the turnover box 2 is in close contact with the push plate 902. After all the containers 1 in the turnover box 2 are tilted, that is, after the identification codes of all the memory sticks 17 have been scanned, the second driving member 901 is activated. The second driving member 901 drives the push plate 902 to the right, thereby pushing the turnover box 2 to the right. As the turnover box 2 moves to the right, the reset surface 701 contacts the second side 106 of the tilted container 1, resetting the second side 106 of the container 1, thereby resetting each container 1. It should be noted that after all the containers 1 are reset, the second driving member 901 will reverse to drive the push plate 902 to reset to the left. In this embodiment, during the resetting process of the second side 106 of the container 1, the elastic member 10 cooperates with the supporting buffer assembly 8 to buffer the falling resetting of the container 1, thereby avoiding damage to the memory stick 17 placed therein due to the sudden falling of the container 1.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 2 to 4, the turnover part is a turnover box 2, a limiting groove 201 is provided on the turnover box 2, the accommodating part 1 is installed in the limiting groove 201, a through groove 202 is provided on the turnover box 2, and the protruding part 5 passes through the through groove 202; the supporting buffer assembly 8 includes a plurality of supporting buffer plates 801, and the plurality of supporting buffer plates 801 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the turnover box 2, and the plurality of supporting buffer plates 801 are all arranged on the inner wall of the limiting groove 201, and from bottom to top, the protruding height of the plurality of supporting buffer plates 801 protruding from the inner wall of the limiting groove 201 gradually increases; the accommodating part 1 has a retracted state and a tilted state. When the accommodating part 1 is in the retracted state, the accommodating part 1 is located in the peripheral In the rotating box 2, the elastic member 10 is located below multiple support buffer plates 801. When the accommodating member 1 is in a tilted state, the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1 is tilted, and the elastic member 10 is located above the uppermost support buffer plate 801, and the uppermost support buffer plate 801 is in contact with the elastic member 10; during the process of the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1 tilting, the elastic member 10 is elastically deformed when it abuts against the support buffer plate 801 to move to the top of the support buffer plate 801; during the process of the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1 being reset, the elastic member 10 is elastically deformed when it abuts against the support buffer plate 801 to move to the bottom of the support buffer plate 801.

[0058] There are multiple limiting grooves 201, which are arranged at equal intervals along the second direction. The limiting grooves 201 are used to limit the position of the accommodating element 1 along the second direction to prevent the accommodating element 1 from shaking within the turnover box 2. The accommodating element 1 is located within the turnover box 2, and the protruding member 5 extends through the through groove 202, allowing the protruding member 5 to protrude outside the turnover box 2, thereby facilitating the rotation of the protruding member 5 by the moving member 302 located outside the turnover box 2.

[0059] When the container 1 is in the retracted state, the container 1 can be completely located in the turnover box 2 to avoid occupying external space. A plurality of support buffer plates 801 are located in the upper part of the limiting groove 201. A plurality of support buffer plates 801 can be arranged at equal intervals. The number of support buffer plates 801 provided on the inner wall of a limiting groove 201 can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to two, three, four, five, six, etc. During the reset process of the second side 106 of the container 1, the elastic member 10 is elastically deformed when it abuts against the support buffer plate 801 to move to the bottom of the support buffer plate 801. Through the cooperation of the elastic member 10 and the support buffer plate 801, the reset falling speed of the container 1 can be slowed down to ensure that the container 1 can be smoothly reset to the retracted state.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5The container 1 includes a frame 101 having a receiving groove 1011 for placing the memory stick 17; two positioning plates 102 are connected to the frame 101, and the two positioning plates 102 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the frame 101. Two elastic limiting members 103 are respectively connected to the two positioning plates 102, and the two elastic limiting members 103 are used to clamp the memory stick 17 accommodated in the container 1 on both sides in the thickness direction. The shape of the frame 101 can be U-shaped. The thickness direction of the frame 101 is parallel to the thickness direction of the memory stick 17. In this embodiment, after the memory stick 17 is placed in the container 1, the two elastic limiting members 103 clamp the memory stick 17 accommodated in the container 1 on both sides in the thickness direction to limit the memory stick 17 and prevent the memory stick 17 from shaking during the tilting and resetting process of the container 1.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 The elastic limiter 103 includes a main body 1031, an elastic surface layer 1032 and an anti-static filler 1033. The elastic surface layer 1032 is arranged on one side of the main body 1031 close to another elastic limiter 103, and the anti-static filler 1033 is located between the main body 1031 and the elastic surface layer 1032; an installation cavity 1021 is opened on the positioning plate 102, and the main body 1031 at least partially extends into the installation cavity 1021, and the main body 1031 is connected to the positioning plate 102 through a spring 104.

[0062] The mounting cavity 1021 has an opening toward the other positioning plate 102, and the main body 1031 extends through the opening in the mounting cavity 1021 to protrude beyond the positioning plate 102. The main body 1031 also includes a retaining flange, which is larger than the opening in the mounting cavity 1021 to prevent the main body 1031 from falling out of the mounting cavity 1021. A spring 104 is located within the mounting cavity 1021. The provision of the spring 104 enables the two elastic retaining members 103 to accommodate memory modules 17 of varying thicknesses.

[0063] The elastic surface layer 1032 can be made of rubber to provide good elasticity and cushioning properties. The antistatic filler 1033 provides an antistatic function and can be made of electrostatic foam. In this embodiment, the provision of the elastic surface layer 1032 protects the memory stick 17 from damage due to squeezing. Furthermore, the provision of the antistatic filler 1033 effectively prevents damage to the memory stick 17 caused by static electricity.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 3, a counterweight 16 is provided at the bottom of the turnover box 2; and / or, the scanning device further includes two limit bars 13, the two limit bars 13 are respectively located on both sides of the turnover box 2 along the third direction, and the two limit bars 13 are in contact with the turnover box 2, and the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0065] The counterweight 16 can be in the form of a plate, and the density of the counterweight 16 is preferably greater than that of the turnover box 2. Without the counterweight 16, if all the containers 1 within the turnover box 2 are tilted, the turnover box 2 may be at risk of tipping over. The provision of the counterweight 16 increases the weight of the bottom of the turnover box 2, thereby preventing the risk of tipping over if all the containers 1 within it are tilted.

[0066] The third direction can refer to Figure 1 In the direction indicated by the arrow D, the third direction is parallel to the width direction of the base 11. The limit bar 13 is fixedly connected to the base 11, and the two limit bars 13 can be arranged symmetrically. The length direction of the limit bar 13 is parallel to the second direction. The turnover box 2 is placed between the two limit bars 13, and the turnover box 2 can move along the second direction. Initially, the turnover box 2 is located at the leftmost position between the two limit bars 13 and is in close contact with the push plate 902. The reset member 7 can be connected to the limit bar 13 at the rear end of the base 11 through a connecting block. By setting the two limit bars 13, the turnover box 2 can be limited to prevent the turnover box 2 from rotating when it overturns, and the two limit bars 13 also play a guiding role, which can enable the turnover box 2 to keep moving along the second direction when moving, avoiding deviation in the moving direction.

[0067] The process of scanning the identification codes of the plurality of memory bars 17 by the scanning device may include:

[0068] After the turnover box 2 is placed, the moving drive assembly 6 is started, thereby driving the tilting drive assembly 3 to move to the right, and the first driving member 301 is started to drive the turntable 3021 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 3021 drives the dial block 3022 to rotate. The dial block 3022 will dial the protruding member 5 during the rotation process. As the turntable 3021 rotates and moves to the right, multiple protruding members 5 can be dialed from left to right in sequence, so that the multiple accommodating members 1 are rotated in sequence around the axis of the rotating shaft 14 in the first direction, so that the second sides of the multiple accommodating members 1 are tilted in sequence, and the second sides of the accommodating members 1 are tilted. Afterwards, the identification code area 1701 of the memory stick 17 inside is exposed, and the identification code of the memory stick 17 is scanned by the scanner 4; after all the accommodating parts 1 in the turnover box 2 are tilted up, that is, after the identification codes of all the memory sticks 17 are scanned, the second driving member 901 is started, and the second driving member 901 will drive the push plate 902 to move to the right, thereby pushing the turnover box 2 to move to the right. As the turnover box 2 moves to the right, the reset surface 701 contacts the second side 106 of the tilted accommodating part 1 to reset the second side 106 of the accommodating part 1, thereby resetting each accommodating part 1.

[0069] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a scanning system, which includes a controller and at least one scanning device provided by the first aspect.

[0070] The scanning device includes a container 1, a tilting drive assembly 3 and a scanner 4. The container 1 is used for placing the memory stick 17. The container 1 has a first side 105 and a second side 106 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first side 105 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other. The first end of the first side 105 is rotatably connected to the turnover member, and the second end of the first side 105 is connected to the protruding member 5; the tilting drive assembly 3 includes a first driving member 301 and a moving component 302 connected to the first driving member 301. The first driving member 301 is used to drive the moving component 302 to move, and the moving component 302 is used to drive the protruding member 5 to rotate along the first direction so that the container 1 rotates along the first direction; the scanner 4 is used to scan the identification code on the memory stick 17; wherein, after the moving component 302 drives the container 1 to rotate along the first direction through the protruding member 5, the second side 106 of the container 1 tilts up, and the identification code of the memory stick 17 placed in the container 1 is exposed and faces the scanner 4.

[0071] The controller is connected to the tilt drive assembly 3 and scanner 4 in the scanning device. Specifically, the controller is electrically connected to the first driver 301 in the tilt drive assembly 3 to send control signals to the first driver 301, thereby controlling the operation of the first driver 301. The controller is also electrically connected to the scanner 4 to receive information transmitted by the scanner 4.

[0072] In this embodiment of the present invention, the tilting drive assembly 3 can drive the accommodating member 1 to rotate in a first direction, causing the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1 to tilt, thereby exposing the identification code of the memory stick 17 placed in the accommodating member 1 and facing the scanner 4, thereby enabling the scanner 4 to scan the identification code on the memory stick 17. In this embodiment of the present invention, the identification code of the memory stick 17 can be automatically scanned without manually removing the memory stick, thereby improving the scanning speed of the memory stick identification code. Compared with manual scanning, it can also avoid missed scans, incorrect scans, and repeated scans, thereby improving overall scanning accuracy. In addition, the controller can automatically control the operation of the tilting drive assembly 3 and receive information transmitted by the scanner 4.

[0073] Preferably, the moving member 302 includes a rotating disk 3021 and at least one shifting block 3022 connected to the rotating disk 3021. The first driving member 301 is used to drive the rotating disk 3021 to rotate, and the shifting block 3022 rotates with the rotation of the rotating disk 3021. During the rotation of the shifting block 3022, the protruding member 5 is rotated in the first direction, thereby rotating the accommodating member 1 in the first direction. The controller is specifically used to control the start and stop of rotation of the first driving member 301, the rotation speed, the rotation time, etc.

[0074] There are multiple accommodating members 1, which are spaced apart and arranged along the second direction. The scanning device also includes a mobile drive assembly 6, which is connected to the tilting drive assembly 3 and is configured to drive the tilting drive assembly 3 to move along the second direction. The mobile drive assembly 6 may include a drive motor, a lead screw 601, a ball nut, a connector 602, and a slide. A controller is also electrically connected to the drive motor in the mobile drive assembly 6 to control its operation.

[0075] The scanning device also includes a pushing assembly 9 and a reset member 7. The pushing assembly 9 is used to push the rotatable member to move along the second direction toward the reset member 7. The reset member 7 has a reset surface 701, which is an inclined surface or an arc surface. During the process of the pushing assembly 9 pushing the rotatable member to move toward the reset member 7, the reset surface 701 contacts the tilted second side 106 of the accommodating member 1 to reset the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1. During the process of resetting the second side 106 of the accommodating member 1, the elastic member 10 undergoes elastic deformation to move to the bottom of the support buffer assembly 8. The pushing assembly 9 includes a second driving member 901 and a push plate 902 connected to the second driving member 901. The second driving member 901 can be an electric telescopic rod. The controller is also electrically connected to the second driving member 901 in the pushing assembly 9 to control the operation of the second driving member 901.

[0076] The process of scanning the identification codes of the plurality of memory bars 17 by the above scanning system may include:

[0077] After the turnover box 2 is placed, the corresponding button can be pressed. After pressing the corresponding button, the controller will control the driving motor in the mobile driving assembly 6 to start rotating, so as to start the mobile driving assembly 6, thereby driving the tilting driving assembly 3 to move to the right, and the controller will control the first driving member 301 to start rotating to drive the turntable 3021 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 3021 drives the dial block 3022 to rotate. During the rotation of the dial block 3022, the protruding member 5 is dialed. As the turntable 3021 rotates and moves to the right, the multiple protruding members 5 can be dialed from left to right in sequence, so that the multiple accommodating members 1 are rotated in sequence around the axis of the rotating shaft 14 in the first direction, so that the second sides of the multiple accommodating members 1 are tilted in sequence. After the second side of the accommodating member 1 is tilted, the identification code area 1701 of the memory stick 17 therein is exposed, and the identification code of the memory stick 17 is scanned by the scanner 4, and the scanner 4 transmits the scanned information to the controller;

[0078] After all the accommodating elements 1 in the turnover box 2 are tilted, that is, after the identification codes of all the memory sticks 17 are scanned, the controller will control the second driving element 901 to start operating, so that the second driving element 901 drives the push plate 902 to move rightward, thereby pushing the turnover box 2 to move rightward. As the turnover box 2 moves rightward, the reset surface 701 contacts the second side 106 of the tilted accommodating element 1, so that the second side 106 of the accommodating element 1 is reset, thereby restoring each accommodating element 1.

[0079] After all the accommodating parts 1 are reset, the controller will control the second driving member 901 to run in reverse so that the second driving member 901 drives the push plate 902 to reset to the left. At the same time, the controller will control the driving motor in the mobile driving component 6 to rotate in the opposite direction so that the mobile driving component 6 drives the tilting driving component 3 to reset to the left.
