In addition, the horizontal movement, vertical movement, goods taking and conveying functions are decomposed to different modules, realize decoupling of the functions, and ensure the stability of the goods conveying.

[0048] Optionally, referring to Figures 3 to 6As shown, the lifting and taking component 211 comprises a lifting platform 2111 and a first y-axis driving module 2112, the lifting platform 2111 is inserted into or separated from the storage point 11 along the y direction under the driving of the first y-axis driving module 2112 to take out the goods in the storage point 11; and a mounting platform 2113, the first y-axis driving module 2112 comprises a first driving member 21121 arranged on the mounting platform 2113 and a first synchronous belt assembly 21122 driven by the first driving member 21121, the first synchronous belt assembly 21122 can drive the lifting platform 2111 to move to be partially suspended on the mounting platform 2113.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 , when the lifting platform 2111 is not taking goods, the lifting platform 2111 is flush with the y-direction free end of the mounting platform 2113, and the lifting platform 2111 is supported by the mounting platform 2113 as a whole; on the basis that the lifting and taking component 211 aligns with the order goods storage point 11, when the lifting platform 2111 takes goods, the first driving member 21121 rotates to drive the first synchronous belt assembly 21122 to drive the lifting platform 2111 to extend along the y-axis direction, and the lifting platform 2111 is partially suspended relative to the mounting platform 2113, which can be referred to as Figure 3 .

It can be understood that the projection area formed by the movement of the push rod 2122 in the x direction can cover the width of the lifting platform 2111, or can also cover the width of the lifting platform 2111 and the connecting table 21131 at the same time, so that the goods can move a wider distance in the x direction and be pushed to the heating cabinet 200. In use, the push rod 2122 reciprocally moves in the x direction under the driving of the second x-direction drive module 2121, so as to push the goods taken out by the lifting and taking assembly 211 to separate from the lifting platform 2111, and complete the goods out operation from the storage cabinet 100.

The first movable mounting plate 21214 is slidingly connected to the first fixed mounting plate 21211 and is drivingly connected to the second synchronous belt assembly 21213 at a side thereof away from the first fixed mounting plate 21211. The third synchronous belt assembly 21215 and the second sliding block 21216 are both arranged at the side of the first movable mounting plate 21214 away from the first fixed mounting plate 21211. The second sliding block 21216 is connected to the third synchronous belt assembly 21215. The push rod 2122 is connected to the second sliding block 21216. The third synchronous belt assembly 21215 is further fixedly connected to the first fixed mounting plate 21211. A third linear guide rail 21218 is arranged on the side of the first movable mounting plate 21214 away from the first fixed mounting plate 21211 and slidingly cooperates with the second sliding block 21216, so as to realize the movement of the push rod 2122 relative to the first movable mounting plate 21214 along the x-direction. A sliding block is arranged on the side of the first movable mounting plate 21214 facing the first fixed mounting plate 21211. The first fixed mounting plate 21211 is provided with a second linear guide rail 21217 matched with the sliding block, so as to realize the movement of the first movable mounting plate 21214 relative to the first fixed mounting plate 21211 along the x-direction. The second driving member 21212 drives the second synchronous belt assembly 21213 to drive the first movable mounting plate 21214 to move along the x-direction. The first movable mounting plate 21214 drives the push rod 2122 to move synchronously and pulls the third synchronous belt assembly 21215 to rotate so as to push it out relative to the first fixed mounting plate 21211. In this way, the moving stroke of the push rod 2122 along the x-direction is increased. It can be understood that the maximum moving stroke of the push rod 2122 along the x-direction is the sum of the lengths of the guide rails on the first movable mounting plate 21214 and the first fixed mounting plate 21211.

[0056] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the conveying port 300 is provided with a sealing door 3, which comprises a first door frame 31, a second z-axis driving module 32 arranged on the top of the first door frame 31, and a first door plate 33 driven by the second z-axis driving module 32, which moves along the z direction under the driving of the second z-axis driving module 32. The output end of the second z-axis driving module 32 is connected to the first door plate 33 through a locking assembly 34. The first door plate 33 is slidingly connected to the first door frame 31. In a specific embodiment, the sealing door 3 is arranged on one side of the heating cabinet 200. The arrangement of the sealing door 3 plays an isolating role between the storage cabinet 100 and the heating cabinet 200, avoiding the leakage of cold air in the storage cabinet 100 into the heating cabinet 200, and also avoiding the flow of hot air in the heating cabinet 200 to the storage cabinet 100, thereby causing unnecessary energy waste. The locking assembly 34 moves up and down synchronously with the first door plate 33, and performs locking or releasing actions according to the opening and closing state of the first door plate 33, thereby ensuring the sealing state of the sealing door 3 and facilitating the opening and closing of the first door plate 33.

The bottom of the sliding groove 311 comprises an arc segment 3111 protruding towards the heating cabinet 200. It should be noted that the arc segment 3111 protrudes in the use state of the storage cabinet 100.

[0058] In this way, when the sealing door 3 is opened, the first door plate 33 moves from bottom to top in the first door frame 31, and is guided by the arc segment 3111 to first generate a horizontal offset, realize sealing separation, and then convert into a vertical lifting motion to realize opening, thereby reducing the operation torque; when the sealing door 3 is closed, the first door plate 33 first moves vertically downward in the first door frame 31, and then is pressed against the door frame along the x direction under the guidance of the arc segment 3111, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the sealing door 3. The arrangement of the two sliding grooves 311 improves the stability of the movement of the first door plate 33 along the z direction. Optionally, the two sliding grooves 311 are arranged in parallel or are arranged in parallel with a z-directional offset, thereby further ensuring the stability of the movement of the first door plate 33 along the z direction.

In use, the first connecting block 341 moves along the z direction under the drive of the second z-axis drive module 32, and the first connecting block 341 drives the first door plate 33 to move synchronously through the mounting seat 343, the guiding and limiting effect of the sliding groove 311 on the first door plate 33 ensures that the first connecting block 341 does not deviate from the mounting seat 343, and the locking assembly 34 plays a buffering role during the movement of the first door plate 33, allowing certain assembly errors and reducing assembly difficulty.

[0060] When the sealing door 3 is closed, the second z-axis drive module 32 drives the first connecting block 341 to move downward along the z direction, and drives the first door plate 33 to move downward, and when the rolling shaft 331 on the first door plate 33 moves to the arc-shaped section 3111 of the sliding groove 311, the locking assembly applies a force along the x direction to the mounting seat 343 to limit the first door plate 33, so as to achieve the sealing effect of the first door plate 33; when the sealing door 3 is opened, the second z-axis drive module 32 drives the first door plate 33 and the first connecting block 341 to move reversely, so that the first door plate 33 moves upward along the sliding groove 311 to open the door. The arrangement of the locking assembly 34 and the sliding groove 311 realizes the state that the sealing door 3 is first unsealed and then opened when the sealing door 3 is opened, and is finally compressed when the sealing door 3 is closed.

The horizontal driving module 53 is used to drive the fork 54 to move in the horizontal plane, which can be moving in the x direction or the y direction. It can be understood that, since the horizontal driving module 53 is connected with the rotary driving module 52 and can be driven to rotate, the rotary driving module 52 can control the moving direction of the fork 54 driven by the horizontal driving module 53. In use, the third z-axis driving module 51 drives the rotary driving module 52 to move in the z-axis direction, so that the fork 54 moves in the z-axis direction; the horizontal driving module 53 rotates around the z-axis direction under the driving of the rotary driving module 52, so as to drive the fork 54 to rotate in the horizontal plane, thereby realizing the driving of the fork 54 to move in the x-axis or y-axis direction. The arrangement of the second goods conveying mechanism 5 can drive the fork 54 to move in various angles in the spatial direction through the cooperation of the integrated multi-angle conveying module, thereby improving the operation flexibility of the second goods conveying mechanism 5 and reducing the space occupation in the heating cabinet 200.
