A supporting plate with a cutout blocks goods from falling in the cabinet. The supporting plate bears against an upwardly-inclined bottom plate which, with separating plates, carries a plurality of goods. A plurality of first resisting brackets and a plurality of second resisting brackets on an endless toothed belt extend from the drive member and the drive member drives the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets around. The action of the first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets push the plurality of goods to move on the supporting plate until one of the plurality of goods is pushed to being above the cutout and the item drops from the cutout for the customer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A goods transmission system, comprising: a cabinet; a goods output member located in the cabinet; wherein the goods output member comprises a supporting plate; a cutout is defined in the supporting plate; a bottom plate diagonally extends from a side edge of the supporting plate; a plurality of separating plates extend upwards from the bottom plate for receiving a plurality of goods therebetween; and a drive member mounted on the supporting plate; a plurality of first resisting brackets and a plurality of second resisting brackets extend from the drive member; the drive member drives the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets to rotate; and the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets push the plurality of goods to move on the supporting plate until one of the plurality of goods is pushed into the cutout and dropped from the cutout. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The goods transmission system of claim 1, wherein the drive member comprises a transmission chain; an accommodating slot is defined in the transmission chain; a motor is mounted in the accommodating slot on one side of the transmission chain; a gear is mounted on a top of the motor; a transmission band is mounted to an outer side of the transmission chain; and the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets are formed on the transmission chain. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The goods transmission system of claim 2, wherein the transmission band comprises two supporting portions and two connecting portions each connected to each of the two supporting portions; the plurality of first resisting brackets extend from each of the two supporting portions; the plurality of first resisting brackets are spaced from each other; and the second resisting bracket extend from each of the two connecting portions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The goods transmission system of claim 3, wherein when the motor rotates, the gear drives the transmission chain to rotate, the transmission chain drives the transmission band to rotate, and the plurality of resisting brackets and the resisting bracket push the plurality of goods to move on the supporting plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The goods transmission system of claim 2, wherein a plurality of first engaging portions protrude from the transmission chain; a plurality of second engaging portions protrude from the gear; and each of the plurality of first engaging portions engages with each of the plurality of second engaging portions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The goods transmission system of claim 1, wherein a distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets is equal to a distance between adjacent two of the separating plates; the distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets is equal to a length of the second resisting bracket; and a width of the cutout is greater than the distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The goods transmission system of claim 1, wherein the cabinet comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top wall, and a bottom wall; the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the top wall, and the bottom wall corporately form an accommodating space therebetween; and the goods output member is located in the accommodating space. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The goods transmission system of claim 7, wherein a door is pivotally mounted on the first sidewall; an accommodating box is mounted on the door; the accommodating box defines a first opening at a top for receiving goods; the accommodating box defines a second opening on one side for outputting goods; and the second opening is defined in the door and accessible from outside of the cabinet. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The goods transmission system of claim 8, wherein the cutout on the supporting plate faces the first opening on the top of the accommodating box. ### Claim 10 A goods transmission system, comprising: a cabinet comprising an accommodating box; a goods output member located in the cabinet; wherein the goods output member comprises a supporting plate; a cutout is defined in the supporting plate; a bottom plate diagonally extends from a side edge of the supporting plate; a plurality of separating plates extend upwards from the bottom plate for receiving a plurality of goods therebetween; and a drive member mounted on the supporting plate; a plurality of first resisting brackets and a plurality of second resisting brackets extend from the drive member; the drive member drives the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets to rotate; and the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets push the plurality of goods to move on the supporting plate until one of the plurality of goods is pushed into the cutout and dropped in the accommodating box from the cutout. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The goods transmission system of claim 10, wherein the drive member comprises a transmission chain; an accommodating slot is defined in the transmission chain; a motor is mounted in the accommodating slot on one side of the transmission chain; a gear is mounted on a top of the motor; a transmission band is mounted to an outer side of the transmission chain; and the plurality of first resisting brackets and the second resisting brackets are formed on the transmission chain. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The goods transmission system of claim 11, wherein the transmission band comprises two supporting portions and two connecting portions each connected to each of the two supporting portions; the plurality of first resisting brackets extend from each of the two supporting portions; the plurality of first resisting brackets are spaced from each other; and the second resisting bracket extend from each of the two connecting portions. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The goods transmission system of claim 12, wherein when the motor rotates, the gear drives the transmission chain to rotate, the transmission chain drives the transmission band to rotate, and the plurality of resisting brackets and the resisting bracket push the plurality of goods to move on the supporting plate. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The goods transmission system of claim 11, wherein a plurality of first engaging portions protrude from the transmission chain; a plurality of second engaging portions protrude from the gear; and each of the plurality of first engaging portions engages with each of the plurality of second engaging portions. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The goods transmission system of claim 10, wherein a distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets is equal to a distance between adjacent two of the separating plates; the distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets is equal to a length of the second resisting bracket; and a width of the cutout is greater than the distance between adjacent two of the first resisting brackets. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The goods transmission system of claim 10, wherein the cabinet comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top wall, and a bottom wall;
