The bottom of the first stop block 3 and the second stop block 4 is inserted into the feeding groove 21, and is fixed on the two groove walls of the feeding groove 21 respectively. The utensils stacked in the storage channel can fall into the feeding groove 21 under the pushing of the push block 52, the user takes the utensils after feeding through the feeding opening 23, the utensils are taken in order and the sanitary quality of the utensils is ensured.
[0023] In the above technical solution: as shown in Figure 3 、 5 , the utensil box 2 is provided with a feeding driving mechanism 5, the feeding driving mechanism 5 includes a pull rod 51, a push block 52 and a connecting line 55, the pull rod 51 is hinged on the utensil box 2, and the two ends of the connecting line 55 are connected with the pull rod 51 and the push block 52 respectively. The pull rod 51 is pushed, the pull rod 51 drives the push block 52 to move through the connecting line 55, and the push block 52 pushes the utensils on the utensil box 2. The connecting line 55 is specifically a steel wire, so as to ensure the connection strength. The feeding driving mechanism 5 further includes an elastic member 57, one end of the elastic member 57 is fixed on the utensil box 2, and the other end of the elastic member 57 is connected with the push block 52. When the push block 52 moves and pushes the bottommost utensils in contact with the supporting plate, the elastic member 57 is elongated.
[0024] In the above technical solution: as shown in Figure 2 、 3 , the side surface of the utensil box 2 is provided with a limiting groove 27, the limiting groove 27 is provided with two limiting groove walls 28 arranged obliquely, and the two limiting groove walls 28 are arranged in an eight-character shape. The end of the pull rod 51 is hinged in the limiting groove 27, the pull rod 51 rotates longitudinally in the limiting groove 27, and the pull rod 51 stops rotating when the pull rod 51 contacts the limiting groove wall 28.
[0025] In the above technical solution: the feeding driving mechanism 5 further includes a sliding rail 53, a sliding block 54 and a guide column 56, the sliding rail 53 is fixed horizontally on the utensil box 2, and the sliding block 54 is slidingly arranged on the sliding rail 53. The push block 52 is integrally formed with a mounting block 521, and the mounting block 521 is fixed on the sliding block 54. The mounting block 521 is provided with a gap 522, the gap 522 is provided for the side wall of the moving channel 33, so as to prevent the mounting block 521 from interfering with the movement of the push block 52. The guide column 56 is installed on the utensil box 2, the guide column 56 is located on one side of the push block 52 and the sliding rail 53, the pull rod 51 is located below the guide column 56, the middle part of the connecting line 55 is arranged on the guide column 56, so that the connecting line 55 is approximately L-shaped. As shown in Figure 3As shown, two moving limiting blocks 58 are also fixed on the tableware box 2, and the two moving limiting blocks 58 are respectively located at the two ends of the sliding rail 53. The sliding block 54 moves on the sliding rail 53, and when the sliding block 54 contacts the moving limiting block 58, the sliding block 54 stops moving. The moving limiting block 58 limits the movement of the sliding block 54, preventing the sliding block 54 from leaving the sliding rail 53.
[0026] The sliding block 54 is located at one end of the sliding rail 53 away from the pull rod 51, and the end of the pull rod 51 is inclined upward, which is the initial state. When it is necessary to take tableware, the pull rod 51 is pushed downward, and the pull rod 51 drives the push block 52 and the sliding block 54 to move horizontally along the sliding rail 53 through the connecting line 55, so that the end of the push block 52 enters the first storage recess 31 and pushes the bottommost tableware. At this time, the elastic member 57 is elongated; the pushing of the push block 52 causes the end of the bottommost tableware to pass through the throwing gap 34 and be separated from the first supporting plate 32. Due to the loss of support of the first supporting plate 32 on one end of the bottommost tableware, the bottommost tableware loses balance and falls off the second supporting plate 42 under the action of gravity, and directly falls into the throwing groove 21 after leaving the storage channel, and the tableware in the throwing groove 21 moves to the throwing opening 23 under the guidance of the guide inclined surface 22, and falls out through the throwing opening 23, completing the throwing of the tableware. When the pull rod 51 is released, the elastic force of the elastic member 57 is released, causing the sliding block 54 and the push block 52 to move back to the original position, and the push block 52 is separated from the first storage recess 31. The reset movement of the sliding block 54 drives the pull rod 51 to automatically rotate upward and reset through the connecting line 55.
[0027] During the movement of the bottommost tableware out of the storage channel, the tableware above the bottommost tableware is blocked by the groove wall of the first storage recess 31, ensuring that the tableware above the bottommost tableware will not move out of the storage channel with the bottommost tableware, and ensuring that only the bottommost tableware is thrown out; after the original bottommost tableware leaves the storage channel, the tableware in the storage channel moves downward as a whole, so that the two ends of the present bottommost tableware are placed on the first supporting plate 32 and the second supporting plate 42 respectively, and wait for the next throwing.
[0028] In the above technical solution, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 , the base 1 is further included, and the plurality of groups of tableware boxes 2 are located in the base 1. There are three groups of tableware boxes 2 in the base 1, and three different tableware, such as knives, forks and spoons, are stacked in the storage channels of the three groups of tableware boxes 2 respectively, meeting the diversified needs of users for tableware. The base 1 is provided with a base sliding rail 11, and the bottom of the tableware box 2 is provided with a sliding groove 24. The base sliding rail 11 and the sliding groove 24 are both in the shape of an I-beam, and the base sliding rail 11 is located in the sliding groove 24, so that the tableware box 2 is slidably arranged on the base 1. The side surface of the base 1 is provided with a moving opening 13, and the tableware box 2 can move out of the base 1 through the moving opening 13.
[0029] In the above technical solution, as shown in Figure 1 , 2As shown, the cutlery box 2 is also equipped with a dust cover 26, which covers the slide rail 53 and slider 54 of the dispensing drive mechanism 5.

The dust cover 26 has several hooks, and the first stop block 3 and the side of the cutlery box 2 have several corresponding buckle holes 7. The hooks are engaged in the buckle holes 7, realizing the detachable installation of the dust cover 26.
[0030] In this invention, the push block 52 is driven manually. Moving the lever 51 via the connecting line 55 moves the push block 52. The drive structure is simple, reliable, and compact, significantly reducing costs. The dispensing process is simple, fast, and labor-saving. An elastic element 57 is included; when the lever 51 is moved, the elastic element 57 extends. After releasing the lever 51, the elastic force of the elastic element 57 causes the push block 52 and lever 51 to quickly return to their original positions, ready for the next dispensing operation. The connecting line 55 rests on the guide post 56 in the middle, making the connecting line 55 approximately L-shaped. This L-shaped design allows the push block 52 to move towards the guide post 56. When the pull rod 51 is pulled down, it can drive the push block 52 to move laterally. Pulling the pull rod 51 down makes the drive of the push block 52 easier. The connecting wire 55 is steel wire to ensure connection strength. The limiting groove 27 limits the rotation of the pull rod 51.
