The rotation of the first motor shaft 781 drives the drive wheel 782 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 783 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven shaft 784 to rotate. The rotation of the first motor shaft 781 and the driven shaft 784 drives the first grooved wheels 76 to rotate, thereby causing the first grooved wheels 76 to drive the first cold energy conveying carrier 73 to move, which improves the moving speed of the first cold energy conveying carrier 73 and thus improves the cold energy transfer efficiency.
