[0057] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the 3 is provided with a drawer 4, which is connected to the bracket by a slide rail for storing bulk goods.

[0058] Working principle:

[0059] The limiting mechanism of the slot plate 1: A first rotating wheel group 11 is installed on the side of the slot plate 1. The first rotating wheel group 11 consists of a fixing block 111, a first rotating wheel 112, a protruding button 113, a paddle 114, a spring 115 and a sliding groove 116.

[0060] The fixing block 111 is fixed on the bracket 3. The spring 115 and the protruding button 113 are disposed in the through hole of the fixing block 111, and the two ends of the spring 115 abut against the protruding button 113 and the fixing block 111 respectively.

[0061] The side of the protruding button 113 is equipped with a lever 114, which extends through the slide groove 116 on the side of the fixing block 111. The inclined surface of the protruding button 113 is set outward at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal plane.

[0062] The slot plate 1 is slidably mounted on the bracket 3 via a slide rail mechanism. When the slot plate 1 is pushed in, it will drive the first rotating wheel 112 to rotate inward, and the first rotating wheel 112 will press the protruding button 113 to retract into the through hole.

[0063] When the slot plate 1 is pushed to the bottom, the side of the slot plate 1 will be stuck between the two teeth of the first rotating wheel 112. At this time, the convex button 113 will prevent the first rotating wheel 112 from reversing. When it is necessary to pull out the slot plate 1, the lever 114 is pushed back to retract the convex button 113, thereby releasing the limit of the first rotating wheel 112.

[0064] Perforated plate 2 limiting mechanism: A second rotating wheel assembly 21 is installed on the side of the perforated plate 2. The second rotating wheel assembly 21 includes a fixed plate 211, an upper sliding groove 212, an upper slot 213, an upper slider 214, a lower sliding groove 215, a lower slot 216, a lower slider 217, and a second rotating wheel 218.

[0065] The fixing plate 211 is L-shaped and horizontally arranged, with its short side fixed to the bracket 3. Multiple upper slots 213 are provided on the upper side of the long side, and upper sliders 214 are provided outside the upper slots 213.

[0066] An upper sliding groove 212 is provided on the inner side of the upper slot 213, and the locking block 2142 on the upper slider 214 is engaged in the upper sliding groove 212 to prevent it from falling off. Multiple lower slots 216 are provided on the lower side of the long side, and lower sliding grooves 215 are provided on the inner side of the lower slots 216.

[0067] A lower slider 217 is provided on the outer side of the lower slot 216. The locking block on the lower slider 217 engages with the lower groove 215 to prevent it from falling off. A second rotating wheel 218 is provided at the bottom end of the long side.

[0068] The upper slider 214 has a rotating shaft 2141 on its side, and a locking block 2142 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2141. The locking block 2142 can rotate and lock into the upper locking slot 213.

[0069] The support rod of the bracket 3 is provided with a groove 22, and the crossbar of the perforated plate 2 can be placed in the groove 22. When the perforated plate 2 is placed, the perforated plate 2 will cause the second rotating wheel 218 to rotate downward, so that the side of the perforated plate 2 is located between the two teeth of the second rotating wheel 218.

[0070] Slide the upper slider 214 and the lower slider 217 toward the second rotating wheel 218. When the upper slider 214 touches the second rotating wheel 218, rotate the locking block 2142 of the upper slider 214 so that it is locked into the upper locking groove 213.

[0071] The lower slider 217 also performs the same limiting operation, and the second rotating wheel 218 is limited by the combined action of the upper slider 214 and the lower slider 217. When it is necessary to remove the perforated plate 2, after releasing the limiting of the locking block 2142, slide the upper slider 214 and the lower slider 217, rotate the locking block 2142 in the opposite direction to disengage from the upper locking groove 213, slide the upper slider 214 back to its original position; after simultaneously releasing the limiting of the lower slider 217, the perforated plate 2 can be lifted upwards to be removed.

[0072] In summary, this utility model, through its horizontally push-pull slotted plate design, significantly reduces vertical obstruction during low-position retrieval, facilitating quick loading and unloading of goods by operators (especially taller individuals). Its built-in spring-loaded button mechanism automatically locks after the slotted plate is pushed in, preventing accidental slippage during display and reducing the risk of goods being bumped or knocked out. The perforated plate adopts a modular, detachable structure, combined with a rotating wheel locking mechanism, enabling batch loading and unloading of entire plates of goods, significantly improving replenishment efficiency. A slider-linked locking mechanism for the second rotating wheel ensures the perforated plate is firmly restrained in both vertical and horizontal directions, preventing displacement caused by external forces. The overall structure balances efficient goods exchange with stability, reducing labor costs and damage rates.

[0073] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
