When the first gate 200 opens the cargo opening 170, the first end 222 of the first cantilever 220 and the first end 232 of the second cantilever 230 are both located inside the housing 100, and the second end 223 of the first cantilever 220, the second end 233 of the second cantilever 230 and the first gate 200 are all located outside the housing 100.

The arrangement of the V-shaped structures of the first cantilever 220 and the second cantilever 230 enables the first gate 200 to be opened by rotating, so that the frame 140 can be effectively avoided, the interference of the rotation of the first gate 200 caused by the structure of the frame 140 is prevented, the cargo inlet 170 can be tightly sealed by screwing when the first gate 200 is located at the second position, and the reliability of the opening and closing of the cargo inlet 170 by the first gate 200 is further ensured.

Specifically, the driving mechanism 400 includes a motor 410 and a transmission assembly 420, wherein the transmission assembly 420 is in transmission connection with the transmission wheel, and the motor 410 is mounted on the frame 140 for driving the transmission assembly 420.

When the first gate 200 needs to be rotated to open or close the cargo inlet 170, the motor 410 is started, the motor 410 outputs power to the transmission assembly 420, and the transmission assembly 420 further drives the transmission wheel to rotate, so that the support shaft 440 rotates, the second cantilever 230 is driven, and the first gate 200 rotates. Fig. 7 is a partial enlarged view of a portion a in fig. 6, and fig. 9 is a partial enlarged view of a portion B in fig. 8.

It is only necessary that the transmission of power to the second arm 230 and the driving of the first gate 200 can be realized by the transmission wheel of this arrangement.

Referring to fig. 6 to 9, in the present embodiment, the transmission assembly 420 includes a first gear 421, a second gear 422, and a third gear 423. Specifically, the first gear 421 is fixedly connected to an output shaft of the motor 410, and is driven by the motor 410 to rotate, the second gear 422 is meshed with the first gear 421, the third gear 423 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 422 and synchronously rotates, and meanwhile, the third gear 423 is meshed with the sector gear 430. After the motor 410 is started, the first gear 421 is driven to rotate, the first gear 421 drives the second gear 422 meshed with the first gear 422 to rotate, meanwhile, the third gear 423 and the second gear 422 rotate synchronously, and under the meshed connection of the third gear 423 and the sector gear 430, the sector gear 430 rotates to drive the first gate 200.

In the present embodiment, the number of teeth of the first gear 421 is smaller than that of the second gear 422. With such an arrangement, the rotation speed of the second gear 422 is less than the output rotation speed of the motor 410, so that the rotation speed of the sector gear 430 is reduced, the rotation speed of the second cantilever 230 is reduced, and smooth opening or closing of the first shutter 200 is realized.

Due to the arrangement, the opening and closing amplitude of the first gate 200 is effectively limited, the situation that the first gate 200 and the goods inlet 170 cannot be smoothly lapped due to the fact that the opening and closing amplitude of the first gate 200 is too large or too small is prevented, and therefore the effective guiding of the first gate 200 to goods is guaranteed.

The rotation of the second cantilever 230 is limited by the limiting action of the two limiting blocks 520 on the stop lever 511.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the two limiting blocks 520 may be arranged to limit the position by using the movement of the lever 511 between the two limiting blocks 520, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other arrangement forms may also be adopted, such as: a limiting block 520 is arranged, a limiting groove is formed in the limiting block 520, and limiting is achieved by the aid of movement of the stop lever 511 in the limiting groove. Therefore, as long as the effective limit of the opening and closing angle of the first gate 200 can be realized through the arrangement form of the limit component 500, the specific structure of the limit component 500 is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, in other embodiments, the two limit blocks 520 may be replaced by two detection elements, the two detection elements are disposed at intervals along the rotation track of the blocking lever 511, the two detection elements respectively detect two extreme positions of the blocking lever 511, and the two extreme positions respectively correspond to two positions of the first gate 200 for completely opening or closing the cargo inlet 170.
