[0020] Specifically, a plurality of evenly distributed grooves 12 are provided at the bottom of the bottom plate 3, and a mesh structure is formed at the bottom of the bottom plate 3. The mesh structure formed by the plurality of grooves 12 can reduce the material required for the bottom plate 3, and the bottom plate 3 can also provide the required bearing capacity.
[0021] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a motor 13, the output end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw rod 5, and the motor 13 is electrically connected to an external power supply. Through the use of the motor 13, the corresponding rotation of the screw rod 5 can be driven.
[0022] Specifically, the control component includes a motor controller 14, and the motor controller 14 can adopt the model TKS-M8. The motor controller 14 is arranged in one of the grooves 12. The motor controller 14 is connected to the motor 13 signal, and the motor controller 14 is electrically connected to the external power supply. Through the action of the motor controller 14, the forward and reverse switching of the motor 13 can be controlled by the first micro switch 9 and the second micro switch 10, thereby avoiding manual adjustment and switching of the forward and reverse operations of multiple different motors 13, and effectively improving the intelligence level of the device.
[0023] Specifically, one end of the screw rod 5 is provided with an elastic connector 15 fixedly connected thereto, and the elastic connector 15 can be a spring, and the cross-section of the other end of the spring can be a semicircular shape, and the other end of the elastic connector 15 is connected to the output end of the motor 13, and the elastic connector 15 and the output end of the motor 13 can be clamped together. Through the connecting action of the elastic connector 15, the problem of abnormal rotation caused by the inability to fully align the axis when the motor 13 is connected to the screw rod 5 can be effectively avoided. Therefore, the loss caused by the friction between the screw rod 5 and the bottom plate 3 at the accommodating groove 4 when the screw rod 5 rotates can be greatly reduced, and the damage rate of the screw rod 5 and the bottom plate 3 is reduced. Through the connection of the elastic connector 15, since the elastic connector 15 itself has a certain deformation ability, it can be more suitable for the connection between the output shaft of the motor 13 and the screw rod 5.
[0024] Specifically, the containing assembly also includes three side panels 16, and the side panels 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom panel 3, and the adjacent containing assemblies are connected together. Through the action of the side panels 16, different containing assemblies can be connected together, and at the same time, the side panel 16 located below can be connected to the bottom panel 3 in another containing assembly above it, so that containers of different capacities can be combined according to actual needs, and the applicability is strong.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
