[0025] Guide plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the box 1. There are two guide plates 11, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the box 1. The guide plates 11 guide and limit the smoking cart 2. Limiting slide rails 12 are fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the box 1. There are two limiting slide rails 12, which are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the bottom of the box 1. The upper end of the limiting slide rail 12 is movably connected to a movable slide block 13, which guides and limits the movable slide block 13 in a straight line. The upper middle of the movable slide block 13 has a shrinkage groove 14. There are several shrinkage grooves 14, which are symmetrically distributed in sequence in the middle of the upper middle of the movable slide block 13. The front side of the upper end of the shrinkage groove 14 is hinged to a push stop 15 for pushing the smoking cart 2. The shrinkage groove 14 contains An inflatable airbag 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom, and the upper end of the inflatable airbag 16 is bonded to the bottom of the push block 15. An air inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inflatable airbag 16, and the air inlet pipe 17 extends outward to the outside of the movable slide 13. A control air pump 18 is fixedly installed on the outside of the box 1, and the air outlet of the control air pump 18 is connected to the air inlet pipe 17 through a control air valve, so that the inflatable airbag 16 can be inflated and deflated by the control air pump 18 in conjunction with the air inlet pipe 17.

[0026] Working principle: In use, this utility model pushes the smoking truck 2, which requires smoking, to the front end of the housing 1 through the inlet 4. When the smoking truck 2 is pushed to the front end of the housing 1, the control air pump 18 is automatically activated by the PLC control panel 7 to inflate the air. When the control air pump 18 inflates, compressed air is discharged into the inflatable airbag 16 through the control air valve, connecting flexible air pipe and air inlet pipe 17. When the compressed air is discharged into the inflatable airbag 16, the inflatable airbag 16 will quickly maintain its expansion. When the inflatable airbag 16 maintains its expansion, it will push the rear end of the push stop 15 to swing upward. When the push block 15 swings upward, the rear end of the push block 15 will swing upward into the push groove 10. When the rear end of the push block 15 swings upward into the push groove 10, the electric telescopic rod 20 is extended by control. When the electric telescopic rod 20 extends, it will drive the connecting block 21 to drive the moving slide 13 to move backward in a straight line. When the moving slide 13 moves backward in a straight line, it will drive the push block 15 to move backward in a straight line at the same time. When the push block 15 moves backward in a straight line, it will push the smoking car 2 backward in a straight line through the push groove 10, thereby achieving the function of driving the smoking car 2 to move backward in a straight line into the box 1.

[0027] Simultaneously, as the smoke truck 2 moves backward in a straight line, the control air pump 18 is activated to draw in air. When the control air pump 18 draws in air, it inflates the airbag 16, causing the airbag 16 to contract. When the airbag 16 contracts, it causes the push block 15 to swing downward and reset. When the push block 15 swings downward and resets, the electric telescopic rod 20 is activated to retract. When the electric telescopic rod 20 retracts, it causes the moving slide block 13 to move forward in a straight line and reset via the connecting block 21. When the movable slide 13 moves forward in a straight line to reset, the smoking carts 2 at the front of the chamber 1 can be pushed forward in sequence. When all the smoking carts 2 are pushed into the chamber 1, the front sealing door and the rear sealing door are closed. When the front sealing door and the rear sealing door are closed, the smoke generator 3 is turned on. When the smoke generator 3 is turned on, the smoking operation of the smoking carts 2 inside the chamber 1 can be performed. This allows the smoking carts 2 to move backward in a straight line into the chamber 1 while facilitating the repeated backward straight-line pushing and smoking of several smoking carts 2.
