It can be understood that the utility model discloses in the intelligence cabinet working process, at the in-process of delivering in succession, the system receives to throw a command after, buffer memory mechanism 5 drives the empty thing tray that carries to corresponding delivery port 11's position, the express delivery person can drop on empty thing tray that carries with goods after delivery port 11 drops into, because empty thing tray that carries comes from buffer memory mechanism 5, but not fork mechanism 3 gets from the zero-bit on goods shelves 2 and puts delivery port 11 department, can save a lot of time like this. After the goods are placed to the year thing tray, the automatic door of delivery port 11 department is closed, and fork mechanism 3 deposits the year thing tray that has the goods according to principle nearby on goods shelves 2, and the back is deposited on goods shelves 2 to the goods, and fork mechanism 3 gets an empty year thing tray from specially placing that row of goods shelves 2 of empty year thing tray to on will carrying the thing tray and putting buffer memory mechanism 5, accomplish back fork mechanism 3 and return to the zero-bit. Therefore, in the embodiment, after the buffer loading tray on the buffer mechanism 5 is used, the fork mechanism 3 takes an empty loading tray to be used after the goods are put, so that the fork mechanism cannot return empty in the return trip of the fork mechanism 3, and the buffer area is always kept to be provided with only one empty loading tray, so that the situation that the empty loading tray is in the buffer area when the goods are continuously delivered is ensured, and the delivery efficiency of the intelligent cabinet is ensured.

Two pallets 522 are provided corresponding to the delivery openings 11.
It will be appreciated that in operation, after the fork mechanism 3 has been loaded with the load, an empty pallet is placed on the mounting member of the pusher module 51 and the fork mechanism 3 returns to zero. When the intelligent cabinet sends a stock instruction, the buffer driving assembly 512 drives the carrying part 513 to ascend, the carrying tray stops abutting against the supporting plate 522 to continuously ascend, the supporting plate 522 can be driven to rotate, and when the carrying tray exceeds the supporting plate, the buffer driving assembly 512 drives the carrying part 513 to move downwards to move the carrying tray, and then the carrying tray can be supported on the two supporting plates 522. Thereby, it is achieved that the buffer memory means 5 drives the carrier trays to a position corresponding to the delivery opening 11. In this embodiment, the object carrying tray is pushed to the separating module 52 by the pushing module 51 so as to move to the position corresponding to the delivery opening 11, and in the delivery process, the time for pushing the object carrying tray by the pushing module 51 is very short, so that the delivery efficiency is improved.
