The positioning groove 401 is opened on the surface of the output shaft 301, the partition 402 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mechanism block 4, one end of the compression spring 403 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the partition 402, the positioning block 404 is fixedly connected to the other end of the compression spring 403, the end of the positioning block 404 passes through the mechanism block 4 and extends to the inside of the positioning groove 401, the round rod 405 is movably arranged inside the compression spring 403, one end of the round rod 405 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the positioning block 404, and the other end of the round rod 405 passes through Partition 402 extends to the outside of partition 402, movable block 406 is fixedly connected to the end of round rod 405 and slidably connected to the inside of mechanism block 4, inclined slot 407 is opened at the top of movable block 406 and passes through movable block 406, sliding column 408 is slidably connected to the inside of inclined slot 407, one end of connecting rod 409 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of sliding column 408, and the other end of connecting rod 409 passes through one side of mechanism block 4, one end of connecting rod 409 is fixedly connected with pull rod 8, and the shape of pull rod 8 is long strip. When delivering express parcels, the staff first opens the door panel of cabinet 1, and then puts express parcels of similar size into the inside of delivery frame 305 respectively, and arranges them up and down in the inside of delivery frame 305, and then runs output shaft 301 and In forward rotation, the rotation of the output shaft 301 will drive the transmission disc 303 and the top disc 304 to rotate clockwise at the same time. When the notch on the top disc 304 rotates clockwise to the bottom of the delivery frame 305, the parcel at the bottom of the delivery frame 305 will fall onto the transmission disc 303 through the notch. At the same time, the clockwise rotation of the transmission disc 303 will rotate and transport the parcel dropped from the top. When the transmission disc 303 is in the process of rotating and transporting the parcel, it can be scanned and identified by the face sheet scanner. When the transmission disc 303 continues to rotate, the notch corresponds to the notch on the chassis 302, and the parcel can be automatically transported through the chassis 302 and fall onto the transmission mechanism 2. Under the operation of the transmission mechanism 2, the parcel is automatically transported and delivered to the storage compartment in the cabinet 1, and the delivery is completed.During the delivery process, the output shaft 301 continuously drives the top plate 304 and the transmission plate 303 to rotate, thereby continuously delivering the express parcels, reducing the intermittent process during the delivery process, and thus improving the delivery efficiency of the express. Through the cooperation of the adjustment mechanism, when the parcel on the top plate 304 falls onto the transmission plate 303, in order to prevent the parcel from being stuck between the transmission plate 303 and the top plate 304 due to its large size and affecting the delivery of the express, the staff can adjust the distance between the transmission plate 303 and the top plate 304 so that the distance between the transmission plate 303 and the top plate 304 is greater than or equal to the size of the parcel. When adjusting the distance between the transmission plate 303 and the top plate 304, the staff can pull the connecting rod 409 outwardly through the pull rod 8, and the outer end of the connecting rod 409 will drive the sliding column 408 Sliding outwards inside the inclined groove 407, the sliding column 408 slides outwards to squeeze the movable block 406 to move to the side away from the partition 402. When the movable block 406 moves, the round rod 405 can drive the positioning block 404 to move outwards and squeeze the compression spring 403. When the positioning block 404 moves outwards, it can be separated from the inside of the positioning groove 401, and then the distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top plate 304 can be flexibly adjusted as needed. After adjusting the appropriate distance, the hand is separated from the pull rod 8, and the positioning block 404 can be pushed inwards under the rebound force of the compression spring 403 to cooperate with the positioning groove 401. The transmission disk 303 can be limited and fixed on the surface of the output shaft 301 under the mutual cooperation of the positioning mechanism, thereby being flexibly adjusted according to the size of the package, thereby improving the application range of the express cabinet 1.

[0021] See also Figure 5 The delivery frame 305 is divided into a fixed frame 501 and a movable frame 502, and the movable block 406 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed frame 501. The rear sides of the movable frame 502 and the fixed frame 501 are fixedly connected with auxiliary parts 503, and the inner side of the auxiliary part 503 is fixedly connected with a tension spring 504. When the package is placed inside the delivery frame 305, the width of the delivery frame 305 can be automatically adjusted according to the elasticity of the tension spring 504, so as to adapt to packages of different sizes, so as to avoid the package being too large to be placed inside the delivery frame 305, and the maximum size of the delivery frame 305 is smaller than the slot size on the top plate 304 and the transmission plate 303, so as to prevent the package from being too large to be delivered smoothly.

[0022] See also Figure 6A protrusion 601 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the transmission disk 303, and a vertical groove 602 is opened on the surface of the output shaft 301 for use with the protrusion 601. When adjusting the upper and lower heights of the transmission disk 303, the transmission disk 303 will drive the protrusion 601 to slide inside the vertical groove 602, thereby auxiliary limiting the transmission disk 303 so that it can only move vertically, avoiding rotation on the surface of the output shaft 301 when adjusting the transmission disk 303, which causes the positioning block 404 to be unable to accurately match and connect with the positioning groove 401.

[0023] See also Figure 4 , sliders 701 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable block 406, and the inner wall of the mechanism block 4 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 702, and the sliders 701 are slidably connected to the surface of the slide bar 702. When the sliding column 408 moves by squeezing the movable block 406, the movable block 406 will drive the slider 701 to slide smoothly on the surface of the slide bar 702, which can assist in limiting the movable block 406 and limit the movable block 406 to only parallel movement, thereby preventing the movable block 406 from tilting and displacing during movement, which may cause the adjustment mechanism to fail to operate smoothly.

[0024] See also Figure 4 The surface of the sliding column 408 is sleeved with a limiting ring 9, and the limiting ring 9 is located at the top of the movable block 406. When the sliding column 408 slides inside the inclined groove 407, in order to prevent the sliding column 408 from escaping from the inclined groove 407, the sliding column 408 can be limited inside the inclined groove 407 with the help of the limiting ring 9. See also Figure 3-4 There are several positioning grooves 401, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the output shaft 301. When adjusting the transmission disk 303, the positioning block 404 can be flexibly adapted to the positioning grooves 401 at multiple different heights, so that the transmission disk 303 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the flexibility of the cabinet 1 feeding process.

[0025] Working principle: when delivering, the staff first opens the door panel of cabinet 1, puts the express parcel of similar size into the delivery frame 305, and then runs the output shaft 301 and rotates forward. The rotation of the output shaft 301 will drive the transmission plate 303 and the top plate 304 to rotate clockwise at the same time. When the notch on the top plate 304 rotates clockwise to the bottom of the delivery frame 305, the parcel at the bottom of the delivery frame 305 will fall onto the transmission plate 303 through the notch. At the same time, the clockwise rotation of the transmission plate 303 will rotate and transport the parcel dropped from the top. When the transmission plate 303 is in the process of rotating and transporting the parcel, it can be scanned by the delivery order scanner. The package is automatically transported through the chassis 302 and dropped onto the transmission mechanism 2. The package is automatically transported and delivered to the storage compartment in the cabinet 1 under the operation of the transmission mechanism 2. In the delivery process, the output shaft 301 continuously drives the top plate 304 and the transmission plate 303 to rotate, thereby continuously delivering the express package, reducing the delivery interval process and improving the delivery efficiency of the express. When the transmission plate 303 is rotating to transport the package, in order to prevent the package from being stuck in the transmission due to its large size, The distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top disk 304 affects the delivery work of the express. The staff can adjust the distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top disk 304 so that the distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top disk 304 is greater than or equal to the size of the package. When adjusting the distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top disk 304, the staff can pull the connecting rod 409 outward through the pull rod 8. The outward end of the connecting rod 409 will drive the sliding column 408 to slide outward inside the inclined groove 407. The sliding outward of the sliding column 408 can squeeze the movable block 406 to move to the side away from the partition 402. When the movable block 406 moves, it can be moved through the round rod 4 05 drives the positioning block 404 to move outward and squeezes the compression spring 403. When the positioning block 404 moves outward, it can be separated from the inside of the positioning groove 401, and then the distance between the transmission disk 303 and the top plate 304 can be flexibly adjusted as needed. After adjusting the appropriate distance, the hand is separated from the pull rod 8, and the positioning block 404 can be pushed inward to connect with the positioning groove 401 under the rebound force of the compression spring 403. The transmission disk 303 can be limited and fixed on the surface of the output shaft 301 under the mutual cooperation of the positioning mechanism, so that it can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the package, thereby improving the application range of the express cabinet 1.
