[0032] The moving assembly 8 includes a ball nut 801 and a ball screw 802. The inner wall of the ball nut 801 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the ball screw 802. This threaded connection allows the circumferential rotation of the ball screw 802 to provide power for the horizontal movement of the ball nut 801. A vertical plate 19 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the ball nut 801, and the end of the vertical plate 19 away from the ball nut 801 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the push plate 7. The vertical plate 19 serves to support the ball nut 801. Connected to the push plate 7, a rotating shaft 20 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the ball screw 802. The installation of the rotating shaft 20 serves to connect the ball screw 802 and the rotary motor 21. The outer walls of the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 20 are respectively movably sleeved on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the movable groove 17. The rear end of the rotating shaft 20 is fixedly installed with the rotary motor 21 located behind the placement chamber 4, and a reducer is provided on the output shaft of the rotary motor 21. The reducer is used to adjust the speed of the output shaft of the rotary motor 21.
[0033] Working principle: In use, firstly, when it is necessary to retrieve the letters placed inside the storage compartment 4, since the compartment door 28 is equipped with an electronic lock, the controller 12 controls the electronic lock of the compartment door 28, causing the electronic lock of the compartment door 28 to open, thus putting the moving component 8 into a pop-out state. Then, the controller 12 turns on the power to the rotary motor 21. After the rotary motor 21 is powered on, it drives the ball screw 802 to rotate through the shaft 20. Due to the threaded connection between the ball screw 802 and the ball nut 801, the circumferential rotation of the ball screw 802 simultaneously drives the horizontal movement of the ball nut 801. As the ball nut 801 moves, it drives the push plate 7 to move from the rear of the placement compartment 4 through the connection of the vertical plate 19. As the push plate 7 moves horizontally inside the placement compartment 4, the letters stored inside the placement compartment 4 are pushed out of the placement compartment 4, making it easier to take out the letters inside the placement compartment 4. At this time, the movement of the push plate 7 drives the movement of the annular block 22 outside the round rod 24, and the rolling of the ball 23 on the round rod 24 strengthens the stability of the horizontal movement of the push plate 7. Finally, after the letters are taken out, the door 28 is closed, and the dust curtain 5 is installed between the door 28 and the placement compartment 4, so that the dust curtain 5 plays a role in preventing dust at the placement compartment 4.
