The tray motor is used for driving the tray to a finish position from a first position. The sliding plate is disposed on a base.

When the tray moves to a second position from the first position, the tray moves at a first speed, and the second position is positioned between the first position and the finish position. When the tray moves towards the finish position from the second position, the tray drives the sliding plate to move, such that the buffer structure leans between the sliding plate and the base and generates deformation, making the tray move at a second speed slower than the first speed.
