And after the target tea caddy is fixed, the processor controls the water injection device to work. The water injection device heats water with a preset volume to a preset temperature, and then injects the heated water into the target tea caddy in the fixed groove, so that tea leaves in the target tea caddy can be brewed to form brewed tea. After the tea drink making is completed, the electric door of the outlet of the tea drink unmanned selling device is opened by the processor, and the outlet is communicated with the fixed platform, so that a user can take the tea drink making away from the fixed groove to drink.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the water injection device 104 includes: the water tank, the heating device and the water injector;

the water tank is connected with the heating device, and the heating device is connected with the water injector 1043;

the water injector is used for acquiring the heated water from the heating device under the control of the processor and injecting the heated water into the target tea caddy.

In particular, the water tank is used to contain water for the brewed tea drink, which is mounted at the bottom of the brewed tea drink vending apparatus due to its area and weight considerations. The water tank is connected to the heating device so that the heating device can take a predetermined volume of water from the water tank and heat it. When the processor controls the mechanical arm to place the target tea pot into the fixing groove for fixing, the water injector is controlled to start working. The water injector obtains heated water from the heating device, and injects the heated water into the target tea pot for brewing.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a water injector includes: the device comprises a water injection mechanical arm, a water injection tank, a first water pump and a tank breaking device;

Step 502: and the processor receives the purchase request, controls the mechanical arm to grab the target tea can and places the target tea can on the fixing table for fixing.

For example, after the user determines the type and temperature of the tea, the processor controls the robotic arm to begin operation. Under the control of the processor, the mechanical arm moves to the green tea storage tank bin, picks the green tea tank filled with green tea leaves, and places the green tea tank into the fixed groove on the fixed table for fixation.

Step 503: the water injection device obtains water with a preset volume from the water tank, heats the water according to a preset temperature, and injects the heated water into the tea pot for brewing to form brewed tea.

For example, the second pump of the water filling device draws a preset volume of 250ml of water from the water tank and delivers the water to the boiler. The preset heating temperature is 80 ℃, and the temperature controller controls the electric water boiler to heat the extracted water to 80 ℃. And then the processor controls the water injection mechanical arm to move the water outlets of the tank breaking device and the water injection pipe to the upper part of the green tea tank, the water injection mechanical arm starts to vertically move downwards to the vicinity of the green tea tank, the tank breaking device makes an opening at the top of the green tea tank, the water outlet of the water injection pipe is inserted from the opening, the first water pump extracts heated water from the electric water boiler and injects the heated water from the water outlet of the water injection pipe, the heated water enters the green tea tank, and tea in the green tea tank is brewed to prepare the green tea beverage.

Step 504: the user takes the brewed tea drink away for drinking.

For example, after the green tea beverage is prepared, the processor opens the electric door of the goods taking opening, and the user puts the hand into the goods taking opening to take the green tea beverage for drinking. After the green tea in the tea tank is used, the user can add hot water by himself and repeatedly make tea for drinking.

The embodiments of the invention have at least the following advantages:

1. in the embodiment of the invention, the problem that the tea type beverage is limited by the existing brewing and the tea material waste residue discharge is solved, the on-site brewing is realized after the order is placed by a user through the tea pot brewing integration, the tea can is directly drunk without discharging tea treatment waste residue, and the brewed tea is applied to the unmanned vending machine.

2. In the embodiment of the invention, the tea material is in the professional independent sealed tea can, so that good storage conditions are provided for the storage of the tea, and the food safety and the tea drinking taste are facilitated. The structural design of a tea jar has made things convenient for the consumer to add water once more by oneself after purchasing promptly and has repeated the tea drink, guarantees again that nobody does not produce discarded object such as useless tea grounds of waste water under the condition of selling, makes things convenient for trade company's operation management.

3. In the embodiment of the invention, the tea can is also used as a tea making device and a tea holding device, so that a consumer can directly take away the tea for drinking, and meanwhile, the tea can be automatically injected with water again for repeated drinking.
