When the drawer 1 is in a closed state and needs to be opened automatically, the armature provided by the electromagnet 4 extends into the limiting groove 312, forming an axial limit on the drive shaft 31 to prevent the drive shaft 31 from moving along the axis when the drawer is opened automatically. When the drawer 1 is in an open state and needs to be closed automatically, the armature provided by the electromagnet 4 extends into the limiting groove 312, forming an axial limit on the drive shaft 31 to prevent the drive shaft 31 from moving along the axis when the drawer is opened automatically. The motor shaft of the motor 34 is connected to a driving gear 341, and the driving gear 341 is meshed with the sliding gear 33.
[0020] The present invention is used to open a drawer. When the drawer needs to be opened automatically, the armature provided on the electromagnet 4 extends into the limit groove 312 near the side of the motor 34, and then the motor 34 is started. The motor 34 drives the sliding gear 33 to rotate through the driving gear 341, and the sliding gear 33 drives the driving shaft 31 to rotate.
