[0019] In order to clearly and completely describe the purpose and technical solution of the present invention and make its advantages more clearly understood, the following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them, and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figures 1-4 When the motor 6 is started, the arc plate 7 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate, and then drives the rotating ring 13 to rotate in the same direction. The upper end of the rotating ring 13 contacts the meal box 2 to be taken out. At this time, when the rotating ring 13 rotates, the meal box 2 to be taken out will be lifted by the rotating ring 13, so that the meal box 2 to be taken out can be quickly taken out.
[0021] The arc plate 7 is crescent-shaped, and its inner ring surface contacts one end of the heavy plate 8. The weight of the end of the heavy plate 8 in contact with the arc plate 7 is less than the other end, so as to ensure that the heavy plate 8 can remain vertical in the absence of external force. One side of the heavy plate 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer mounting box 1, and the other side is fixedly connected with a rotating rod 9. When the arc plate 7 rotates, the heavy plate 8 will rotate in the opposite direction by an angle under the action of the arc surface. The heavy plate 8 will not rotate back along the inner arc surface of the arc plate 7 until the arc plate 7 completes a circle. The rotating rod 9 connected to the heavy plate 8 The other end of the rod 9 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 11, and the other end of the threaded rod 11 passes through a magnet 14 and is fixedly connected to another rotating rod 9. The other end of the rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer mounting box 1. The threaded rod 11 is integrally formed with the two rotating rods 9. The magnet 14 and the threaded rod 11 are threadedly connected. When the arc plate 7 rotates, the threaded rod 11 will also rotate accordingly. Under the action of the thread, the magnet 14 will move toward one end. When the magnet 14 is reset, the magnet 14 will also be reset.
[0022] Magnet 2 15 is triangular in shape, and the inclined surfaces of magnet 1 14 and magnet 2 15 are attracted to each other. One end of the guide rod 10 passes through magnet 1 14 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer mounting box 1. The guide rod 10 can prevent magnet 14 from rotating when it moves, providing a guide and correction function for magnet 14. A T-shaped slot is provided on one side of magnet 2 15, and a T-shaped rod 16 is slidably connected in the T-shaped slot. The other end of the T-shaped rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer mounting box 1. At this time, When magnet 14 moves horizontally, magnet 14 will squeeze magnet 2 15, causing magnet 2 15 to move back and forth perpendicular to the direction of threaded rod 11. During the back and forth movement of magnet 2 15, T-shaped rod 16 will provide support and guidance for magnet 2 15 through T-shaped slot. When magnet 14 is reset, magnet 2 15 will also be reset under the action of the magnetic attraction. One end of magnet 2 15 is fixedly connected to a pressure ring 12, and the pressure ring 12 will move synchronously with magnet 2 15.
[0023] The lower end of the rising ring 4 is fixedly connected to a spring 5, and the other end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the outer mounting box 1. The spring 5 can make the rising ring 4 move upward, and the upper end of the guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the outer mounting box 1, and the other end passes through the rising ring 4 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the outer mounting box 1. The guide rod 10 provides a guiding function for the rising ring 4 to avoid deviation. The inner ring surface of the rising ring 4 contacts the stacked lunch boxes 3, and the inner wall of the stacked lunch boxes 3 contacts the stacked lunch boxes 3 or the lunch boxes 2 to be taken out. When the stacked lunch boxes 3 are placed in the rising ring 4, the spring 5 will be compressed. When the lunch boxes 2 to be taken out are taken out one by one, the mass is reduced, and the rising ring 4 is gradually raised, which makes it easy to take out the stacked lunch boxes 3.
[0024] During actual use, the stacked lunch boxes 3 are placed in the rising ring 4, and then the motor 6 is started. At this time, the arc plate 7 starts to rotate, so that the top lunch box 2 to be taken out is lifted. At the same time, the weight plate 8 will also rotate, so that the pressure ring 12 is buckled against the upper surface of the second stacked lunch box 3, so that it cannot be lifted. At this time, the arc plate 7 continues to rotate and contacts the first stacked lunch box 3, and separates it from the second stacked lunch box 3. Then the arc plate 7 completes one rotation, and the weight plate 8 starts to reset, so that the pressure ring 12 leaves the stacked lunch box 3. At this time, under the action of the spring 5, the rising ring 4 will raise the height of the stacked lunch box 3, and then the cycle continues.
[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
