[0016] This compact pushing device mainly consists of a box-type guide rail 1, a pusher body 2, a buffer pad 3, a limiting block 4, a roller assembly 5, a tension spring 6, and connecting parts. The pusher body 2 is installed inside the box-type guide rail 1, and the two ends of the tension spring 6 are respectively hung on the box-type guide rail 1 and the pusher body 2. The limiting block 4 is installed at the front of the box-type guide rail 1, and the buffer pad 3 is installed on the pusher body 2 to provide cushioning when the pusher body 2 quickly resets.

[0017] The box-type guide rail 1 provides support, guidance, and positioning for the pusher body 2. The box-type guide rail 1 consists of a left guide rail 10 and a right guide rail 11, which are fixed together with bolts and locating pins. A through hole at the rear of the box-type guide rail 1 is used to install a pin, which is used to install one hook of the tension spring 6. The other hook of the tension spring 6 is installed on a hole in the pusher body 2. A hole at the front of the box-type guide rail 1 is used to install a limiting block 4, which determines the initial position of the pusher body 2. A boss is provided behind the hole at the front of the right guide rail 11 to restrict the rotation of the limiting block 4.

[0018] The pusher body 2 is equipped with four sets of rollers, which cooperate with the guide rail of the box-type guide rail 1 to enable reliable reciprocating motion of the pusher body 2 within the box-type guide rail 1. The pusher body 2 is connected to the power transmission mechanism through the lower hinge hole. When pushing, the power transmission mechanism drives the pusher body 2 to move forward along the box-type guide rail 1 until the maximum stroke is reached. At this time, the tension spring 6 is stretched. When the pushing action is completed, after the intermittent driving power disappears, the pusher quickly returns to the initial position under the action of the tension spring 6.

[0019] The pusher body 2 is characterized by two pushing arms 13 at the front for pushing objects; the rear part of the pusher body 2 is characterized by a body 15, with a threaded hole at the front for mounting a buffer pad, and four shaft holes on the upper and lower sides for mounting roller assemblies. There is a hole in the middle of the body for mounting a hook for a reset spring. The lower rear part of the pusher body 2 is characterized by a connecting arm 14 with a light hole for connecting a power transmission mechanism.
