[0025] An arc-shaped track groove 15 is provided in the middle of both sides of the cargo aisle 1, and the two arc-shaped track grooves 15 are slidably connected with the corresponding pulleys 16. The two pulleys 16 are rotatably arranged in the middle position of the inner side of the corresponding turntable 2, and the bottom of the inner side of the two turntables 2 is rotatably connected with the bottom of both sides of the cargo aisle 1. A first gear 5 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer side of one of the turntables 2, and the first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6. The second gear 6 is rotatably arranged at a position close to the first gear 5 on one side of the cargo aisle 1. Strip-shaped through grooves 10 are provided at the top of the outer side of the two turntables 2, and slide grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the inner walls of the two strip-shaped through grooves 10. The two slide grooves 11 are slidably connected with both sides of the slide seat 7, and one side of the two slide seats 7 is fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting column 8.

[0026] Specifically, one end of the two slide seats 7 is fixedly provided with an electric telescopic rod 3 , and the bottom ends of the two electric telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected to the middle positions of the outer sides of the two rotating plates 2 .

[0027] Specifically, one end of the second gear 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 4 .

[0028] Specifically, a plurality of sockets 9 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting column 8, a spring rod 12 is fixedly provided at one end of each of the sockets 9, one end of each of the spring rods 12 is fixedly connected to one end of a seat plate 13, and a push ring 14 is fixedly provided on one side of each of the seat plates 13.

[0030] Working principle: When the goods in the cargo aisle 1 are stuck at the front end position of the cargo aisle 1, the electric telescopic rod 3 is turned on according to the size of the goods. When the electric telescopic rod 3 retracts, it can drive the slide 7 to slide along the slide groove 11 on the strip groove 10, and adjust the positions of the two slides 7 on the strip groove 10, so that the multiple push rings 14 on the connecting column 8 can adapt to the size of the goods. Since the push ring 14 is made of soft metal, the goods themselves will not be damaged in the process of pushing the goods. The servo motor 4 is turned on, and the output end of the servo motor 4 drives the second gear 6 to rotate. Since the second gear 6 is meshed with the first gear 5, it drives the first gear 5 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 is fixedly set on the rotating plate 2, it drives the two rotating plates 2 to deflect, and the push ring 14 contacts the goods, and the goods can be pushed to the cargo outlet.
