[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] See Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, the vertical goods lane includes a mounting base 1, a mounting frame 2, a driving mechanism 3 and a storage mechanism. The mounting frame 2 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 1, the driving mechanism 3 is installed at the top of the mounting base 1, and the storage mechanism is installed in the mounting frame 2. The storage mechanism includes a storage component 4 and a limiting component 5. The first end of the limiting component 5 penetrates through the mounting base 1 and the output end of the driving mechanism 3, and the second end of the limiting component 5 is connected to the top of the storage component 4. The storage component 4 is used to place goods. The storage mechanism includes a fixed state and an adjustable state: when the storage mechanism is in the fixed state, the limiting component 5 descends and is clamped with the output end of the driving mechanism 3; when the storage mechanism is in the adjustable state, the limiting component 5 ascends and is rotatably installed on the output end of the driving mechanism 3.

[0040] Through the setting of the limiting component 5, when adjusting the storage mechanism, the limiting component 5 is stretched upward. After rotating the storage mechanism in place, the limiting component 5 is pushed back to the origin downward. The structure is simple and the adjustment speed is fast. It can be understood that the storage mechanism in this embodiment is connected to the driving mechanism 3 through the limiting component 5, and the driving mechanism 3 drives the storage mechanism to rotate through the limiting mechanism.

[0041] As Figures 6-7 shown in the figure, in a further specific embodiment, the limiting component 5 includes a connecting piece 51. A clamping block 511 is arranged at the end of the connecting piece 51, and a clamping groove 31 is arranged at the output end of the driving mechanism 3. The clamping block 511 is clamped with the clamping groove 31.

[0042] When the clamping block 511 is located in the clamping groove 31, the clamping groove 31 limits the position of the limiting component 5 through the clamping block 511, and the driving mechanism 3 drives the limiting component 5 to rotate through the clamping groove 31 and the clamping block 511. When the clamping block 511 leaves the clamping groove 31, the user can manually adjust the angle of the storage mechanism, and then push the clamping block 511 into the clamping groove 31 for limiting after adjustment.

[0043] As Figure 7As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the clamping block 511 has a polygonal shape, and the edges of the clamping block 511 are clamped with the clamping groove 31. As a preferred embodiment, the clamping block 511 in this embodiment has a rectangular structure. In other specific embodiments, the clamping block 511 can also have a triangular prism structure. The inner wall of the clamping groove 31 is recessed inward to form a plurality of limiting grooves 311 for limiting the position of the clamping block 511. The limiting grooves 311 are equidistantly spaced on the inner wall of the clamping groove 31. By limiting the edges of the clamping block 511 with the limiting grooves 311, when the storage mechanism is in the limiting state, the four edges of the clamping block 511 respectively extend into the limiting grooves 311 of the clamping groove 31 to prevent the storage mechanism from loosening. When the storage mechanism is in the adjustment state, the four edges of the clamping block 511 withdraw from the limiting grooves 311.

[0044] As Figures 6-7 shown, in a further specific embodiment, the connecting member 51 includes a connecting portion 512. The clamping block 511 is connected to the connecting portion 512. The diameter of the connecting portion 512 is smaller than the diameter of the clamping groove 31. Therefore, the connecting portion 512 can rotate relative to the clamping groove 31 within the clamping groove 31 without being restricted. The diameter of the clamping block 511 is larger than the diameter of the clamping groove 31. Therefore, the clamping block 511 cannot rotate relative to the clamping groove 31 within the clamping groove 31.

[0045] In a further specific embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes a driving component 32 and a transmission component 33. The transmission component 33 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 1. The driving component 32 is installed on the transmission component 33. The output end of the driving component 32 extends into the transmission component 33 and is connected to the input end of the transmission component 33. The connecting member 51 passes through the transmission component 33 and is connected to the output end of the transmission component 33. The driving component 32 is selected as a motor, and the transmission component 33 is selected as a gear box.

[0046] The motor drives the gear box to rotate. The gear box drives the storage component 4 to rotate through the connecting member 51. The goods at the lowermost end of the storage component 4 are squeezed and fall from the bottom of the storage component 4 to complete the shipment. It should be noted that the storage component 4 includes a storage spring and a guide plate. The guide plate and the goods are both located within the storage spring. The guide plate is used to guide the goods. When the storage component 4 rotates, the goods move gradually downward along the gap of the storage spring itself under the action of the storage spring and the guide plate until they fall out of the storage spring to complete the shipment.

[0047] As Figure 6As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the limiting component 5 further includes a fixing member 52 and an elastic member 53. The first end of the fixing member 52 is connected to the connecting member 51, and the second end of the fixing member 52 is connected to the storage component 4. The elastic member 53 is sleeved on the connecting member 51. The first end of the elastic member 53 abuts against the driving mechanism 3, and the second end of the elastic member 53 abuts against the fixing member 52. The elastic member 53 is selected as a spring. Through the arrangement of the elastic member 53, the storage component 4 is always subjected to a downward thrust, with a simple structure and strong practicability.
