The specific structure can refer to the goods transmission device 8 of the vending machine and the synchronous belt transmission mechanism and push plate disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218918176U, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] The goods transmission device 8 rises or falls to correspond to the height of the goods delivery channel 4. As Figure 2 shown, the motor drives the spring 7 to be able to push the item onto the goods transmission device 8. After receiving the goods transferred, the goods transmission device 8 rises or falls to correspond to the height of the opening of the cabinet body 1. The goods transmission device 8 can convey goods in the horizontal direction. The goods transmission device 8 is used to convey the item pushed out by the motor-driven spring 7 to the first opening 2 on the side wall of the cabinet body 1. The width of the goods transmission device 8 is greater than or equal to the width of the shelf 3 for placing items. A control component is arranged inside the cabinet body 1. The control component is electrically connected to the goods transmission device 8 to control the rising or falling of the goods transmission device 8. A control component is arranged inside the cabinet body 1.

The cabinet body 9 is provided with a shipping bin. A pushing component is provided inside the cabinet body 9. The pushing component is used to push the items in the cabinet onto the lifting component. The lifting component includes a crawler belt mechanism driven by a motor through a gear component. The crawler belt mechanism can convey the items pushed by the pushing component to the shipping bin for manual or robotic 12 picking. In this application, an opening corresponding to the sub-cabinet is provided on one side of the cabinet body 9 close to the sub-cabinet. The cabinet has at least two shipping openings 11, and both of the two shipping openings 11 are communicated with the shipping bin. At least one of the shipping openings 11 is used for manual picking. Exemplarily, the shipping bin is matched with a first shipping opening 11 and a second shipping opening 11. The first shipping opening 11 cooperates with the mobile robot 12, and the second shipping opening 11 is used for manual picking.

[0047] Exemplarily, different from the above cabinet, a lifting component may not be provided inside the cabinet body 9. The structure and working principle of the cabinet refer to a multifunctional cabinet disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111429660A. The second shipping opening 11 is provided at the lower part of the cabinet. When the pushing component pushes the items in the cabinet out, the items fall into the shipping bin under the action of gravity for robotic 12 or manual picking. The opening corresponding to the sub-cabinet of the cabinet is communicated with the shipping bin, so that the items transferred from the sub-cabinet also enter the shipping bin for robotic 12 or manual picking.

[0048] In a third aspect, this application provides a combination of a sub-cabinet and a cabinet, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, different from the second aspect, it includes a container and at least two sub-containers of the first aspect. The first openings 2 opened in two adjacent sub-containers correspond to each other, and the first opening 2 of the sub-container corresponds to the second opening 10 of the adjacent container. When the user completes an order, the items in each sub-container can be transferred to each other between the sub-containers and finally transferred into the container, and are shipped through the shipping bin of the container, and then the shipping outlet 11 of the container can be shared for picking up the goods.

[0049] In the fourth aspect, referring to Figure 6 , the present application provides a combination of sub-containers and sub-containers, including at least two sub-containers of the first aspect. Both sides of the cabinet body 1 are provided with first openings 2 for goods to pass through. When two sub-containers are placed adjacent to each other, the first opening 2 of one sub-container can correspond to the first opening 2 of the other sub-container. Exemplarily, the first openings 2 opened on both sides of the sub-container have the same height, so that when two sub-containers are placed side by side, the goods can pass through one sub-container and enter the other sub-container.

[0050] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
