The lifter 100 is assembled in the accommodating cavity below the mounting hole 4, and a front guide 120 and a lifting block 134 are provided at the front end of the lifter 100. The front guide 120 can roll and support articles by passing through the mounting hole 4; a lifting block 134 is provided on the inner side of the front guide 120, and the lifting block 134 can extend upward through the mounting hole 4, thereby lifting the articles placed in the aisle 3, so that the bottom of the article passes over the front guide 120, and the entire article sits on the front guide 120 and the rear guide 200, thereby realizing the sliding of the article.

[0057] In order to ensure the stability of the structure of this embodiment, the rear guide 200 is a rolling friction structure, including a shaft and a sleeve. The shaft is arranged in the middle of the cargo channel 3 and passes through the partition 2. The sleeve is mounted on the shaft and placed in the corresponding cargo channel 3 for rolling support of items.

[0058] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0059] Since a rear guide 200 is provided in the middle of the cargo aisle to lift the articles, it is possible to avoid direct friction between the articles and the cargo aisle 3, thereby preventing the articles from being retained due to the large friction between the rear end of the articles and the cargo aisle 3, resulting in the problem of being unable to ship.

[0060] Since a mounting through hole 4 is provided at the front of the cargo aisle 3, a lifter 100 is provided at the lower portion of the mounting through hole 4. The lifter 100 has a front guide 120 and a lifting block 134. The lifting block 134 can lift items over the front guide 120, and the items fall smoothly along the rear guide 200 and the front guide 120. Therefore, the lifting block 134 is provided at the lower portion of the cargo aisle 3, does not occupy the storage space of the cargo aisle 3, and improves the utilization rate of the cargo aisle 3.

[0061] In order to further ensure the stability of the structure of this embodiment, the lifter 100 includes a lifter housing 110, a front guide 120, a lifter mechanism 130, a rotation mechanism 140, a gear mechanism 150 and a lifter motor mounting base 160;

[0062] The lifter housing 110 is a box structure. A front guide 120 passing through the mounting through-hole 4 is provided at the top of one end of the lifter housing 110, and a lifting block through-hole 112 is provided on the inner side of the front guide 120; the lifting mechanism 130, the rotating mechanism 140, the gear mechanism 150 and the lifter motor mounting seat 160 are accommodated in the lifter housing 110, and a lifter motor mounting seat 160 is provided at the other end of the lifter housing 110 for assembling the lifter motor. The output end of the lifter motor cooperates with the gear mechanism 150, and the gear mechanism 150 transmits power to the rotating mechanism 140. The rotating mechanism 140 links the lifter mechanism 130, and a lifter block 134 is provided on the lifter mechanism 130. When lifting, the lifter block 134 extends upward through the lifting block through-hole 112 on the lifter housing 110 and the mounting through-hole 4 on the cargo channel 3 in sequence, lifting the article so that it falls after passing over the front guide 120.

[0071] The pry plate 132 is a straight plate structure. A shaft hole is provided in the middle of the pry plate 132 for assembling the pry plate rotating shaft 131, and it is fixed on the side wall of the jack housing 110 through the pry plate rotating shaft 131; one end of the pry plate 132 is connected and fixed to the jack block 134, and a pry plate limiting block 133 is provided near the pry plate rotating shaft 131 at its lower part to control the fall of the pry plate 132.

[0072] Preferably, the rotating mechanism 140 includes a jack rotating shaft 141, a jack gear 142, a jack rotating plate 143 and a jack limiting plate 144;

[0073] The jack rotating shaft 141 is provided at the center of the jack gear 142, and the jack gear 142 is connected and fixed on the side wall of the jack housing 110 through the jack rotating shaft 141; the jack rotating plate 143 is a semi-circular arc plate, which is arranged radially on the jack gear 142. When the jack gear 142 rotates, the jack rotating plate 143 presses down the pry plate 132 above the other end of the pry plate 132, and the pry plate 132 rotates around the pry plate rotating shaft 131. At the same time, the jack block 134 at one end of the pry plate 132 extends out of the jack block through-hole 112 and the installation through-hole 4, thereby lifting the article; near the side of the jack gear 142 close to the pry plate 132, a jack limiting plate 144 is provided. The jack limiting plate 144 is an arc-shaped protrusion for controlling the swing of the pry plate 132.

[0074] As a conventional technical choice, the gear mechanism 150 includes a driven gear shaft 151 and a transition gear shaft 152; the driven gear shaft 151 has a small driven gear and a large driven gear, and the transition gear shaft 152 has a small transition gear and a large transition gear; the output end of the lifter motor is provided with a driving gear and a large driven gear that mesh with each other, and the small driven gear and the large transition gear that mesh with each other, so that the small transition gear and the lifter gear 142 mesh with each other, transmitting power from the lifter motor to the lifter gear 142.

[0075] Features of this embodiment:

[0076] This embodiment provides a lifter 100 and a rear guide 200 in aisle 3. When payment is complete, the baffle (not shown) on aisle 3 opens. At this point, the lifter block 134 on the lifter 100 passes through the mounting hole 4 on aisle 3 and lifts the front end of the item. Because the baffle is open and aisle 3 is tilted, items can slide freely to the pickup port. The rear guide 200 is located in the middle of aisle 3 to prevent excessive friction between the rear end of the item and aisle 3, which can prevent items from being unloaded. Because the lifter 100 has a simple structure and occupies a small space, it is easy to repair and replace. When in use, multiple aisles 3 can be installed on a shelf 1 of the same width for easier access.
