When trigger 3334 is pushed down by the dry trigger, one end of link 3333 pushes lock 3332 to move, disengaging the lock from lock 3331 and releasing buffer assembly 332. The article abuts against the buffer assembly 332 and pushes the buffer assembly 332 to turn over so as to avoid the article sliding out. After the article is removed from the first carrier, cushioning assembly 332 is restored by the force of the torsion spring, pulling the rod away from trigger 3334, trigger 3334 is restored, and cushioning assembly 332 is locked again. Whereby the pulling assembly 42 and the locking assembly can achieve a coordinated pulling.
