In detail, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the manipulator 421 has a tensioning manipulator structure 4211 and a separating mechanism 4212, the tensioning manipulator structure 4211 has at least two contact parts 42111 capable of expanding and contracting, and when the at least two contact parts 42111 extend into the interior of the cup and expand, the at least two contact parts 42111 can contact with the inner wall of the cup to realize grabbing. As shown in fig. 8, the contact portion 42111 expands outward and contacts the inner wall of the cup to grip the cup by tension. Specifically, the contact portions 42111 are each connected to a tension cylinder 42113 via a link 42112. When the tensioning cylinder 42113 outputs power downwards, the contact part 42111 is pushed to expand outwards, and when the output end of the tensioning cylinder 42113 retracts, the contact part 42111 is folded and contracted, so that the cup is separated from the cup.

As shown in fig. 7 and 9, the separating mechanism 4212 has a snap-in portion 42121 which is capable of extending and retracting in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and is capable of separating the snap-in portion 42121 from stacked cups when the snap-in portion 42121 is inserted into a cup edge slit of the stacked cups and the separating mechanism 4212 is returned. It should be understood that as shown in fig. 10, the cups are usually nested together, each cup has a rim 011, and the rims 011 of the adjacent cups are formed with the slits 012 after nesting. It is easy to remove a plurality of cups when separated, due to the nesting. Therefore, the predetermined number of cups are separated from each other by the engagement of the engagement portion 42121 in the slit 012. It should be understood that, in the present embodiment, the click portion 42121 is driven by the cylinder 42123. That is, a cylinder is provided in the second direction, and the reciprocating movement of the engaging portion 42121 is driven by the cylinder.

As shown in fig. 11, the separating mechanism 4212 further includes a retracting structure 42122 which reciprocates in the first direction, and the engaging portion 42121 is provided on the retracting structure 42122 so as to reciprocate in the first direction in accordance with the retracting structure 42122.

The snap-in portion 42121 is provided on the coupling plate 421221.

Specifically, in operation, the robot 421 is transferred to the upper side of the cup by the first transfer driving mechanism 422. At this time, the first transfer driving mechanism 422 drives the manipulator 421 to move towards the cup until the two contact parts 42111 of the tensioning manipulator structure 4211 extend into the cup. At this time, the contact portion 42111 is opened and brought into contact with the inside of the cup by the tension cylinder 42113. Thereafter, the click portion 42121 is inserted into the slit 012, and the entire hand 421 is moved upward in the first direction by the first transfer driving mechanism 422, and at the same time, the retreat cylinder 421221 outputs power in the opposite direction to the first direction. The upward travel distance of the first transfer driving mechanism 422 is the same as the downward travel distance of the retreat cylinder 421221, so that the clamping part 42121 is ensured to keep different original positions, and the gripped cup is pulled away from other nested cups along the first direction under the action of the tensioning manipulator structure 4211; then, the snap-in portion 42121 is reset to exit the slit 012; finally, the manipulator 421 is reset under the action of the first transfer driving mechanism 422 and transferred to a liquid outlet station; at the liquid outlet station, the tensioning cylinder 42113 is reset, the contact part 42111 is separated from the cup, and thus the cup transfer supply is tried. In this embodiment, the cup below the engagement portion 42121 is not separated due to the restriction of the engagement portion 42121, and therefore, a desired cup can be smoothly taken out without separating other cups.

The liquid supply device 3 of the present invention may be an existing liquid distribution structure for realizing the supply of liquid. In detail, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 12, the liquid supply apparatus 3 is configured to have a liquid thermal adjusting container 31 for heating an input liquid to a predetermined temperature, a liquid thermostatic container 32 communicated with the liquid thermal adjusting container 31 for thermostatting the liquid input from the liquid thermal adjusting container 31 to the predetermined temperature, at least one auxiliary material supply mechanism 33 for supplying an auxiliary material, and a liquid mixing container 34 communicated with the liquid thermal adjusting container 31 and the liquid thermostatic container 32 through separate conduits, respectively, for mixing the liquids supplied from the liquid thermal adjusting container 31 and the liquid thermostatic container 32; the liquid mixing container 34 and the auxiliary material supply mechanism 33 are communicated with independent conduits and extend to a first outlet structure 35 and a second outlet structure 36 at a liquid outlet station to input liquid or auxiliary materials into the cup; wherein, each conduit is connected with a flowmeter 37 and an electromagnetic valve 38 along the flowing direction of the liquid; the flow meter 37 and the solenoid valve 38 are electrically connected to the controller 5.

That is, in the present embodiment, the liquid at the predetermined temperature can be supplied by the combined arrangement of the liquid cooling/heating container 31, the liquid thermostatic container 32, and the liquid mixing container 34. Through the setting of auxiliary material feed mechanism 33, can provide the drink type that accords with user's demand. Such as for some milk tea type beverages or coffee. By mixing the liquid in the liquid mixing container 34 at a predetermined temperature, different auxiliary ingredients (such as milk tea powder, coffee powder, etc.) are supplied through the auxiliary ingredient supply mechanism 33 to achieve sufficient mixing in the cup to form a desired beverage. It should be understood that in the present embodiment, the auxiliary material supply mechanism 33 may be plural to supply different auxiliary materials. For example, when two auxiliary material supply units 33 are included, one of them supplies coffee powder or coffee concentrate, and the other supplies milk tea powder or milk tea concentrate. Of course, the method can be specifically provided according to different requirements.

Specifically, the liquid cooling/heating adjustment container 31, the liquid thermostatic container 32, and the liquid mixing container 34 are each provided with a pressure pump (not shown), and the corresponding liquid is output by the pressure pump. The output of the liquid is metered by a flowmeter 37, and the opening and closing of the conduit are realized by an electromagnetic valve 38.

In this embodiment, the liquid thermal conditioning vessel 31 may heat the liquid to a predetermined temperature, such as boiling. The liquid heating and cooling container 31 has a function of heating liquid and cooling liquid, that is, a device integrating cooling and heating, such as a hot and cold water dispenser. The liquid cold and hot adjustment container 31 can be realized by the prior art, such as by the prior water heater. The liquid thermostatic vessel 32 can be set to different temperatures for constant temperature, such as 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃ and the like. The liquid thermostat 32 may be implemented using an existing thermostat. By setting the liquid thermostat 32, when a user needs to set the liquid at a constant temperature, the liquid can be directly output, and the efficiency is improved. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the liquid at the liquid thermostat 32 is output from the liquid thermal conditioning container 31. Typically, the liquid thermal conditioning container 31 heats a liquid (such as water) to 100 ℃, the heated liquid will flow into the liquid thermostat 32, and the heated liquid will thereafter be thermostatted to a set temperature, for example 30 ℃, in the liquid thermostat 32. When the required liquid temperature is higher than the temperature in the liquid thermostat 32, the controller 5 will control the liquid in the liquid thermostat 32 and the liquid in the liquid thermo-regulating container 31 to flow into the liquid mixing container 34 in a quantitative manner at the same time to achieve the required problem. The liquid in the liquid mixing container 34 is output to the water cup under the action of the controller 5; so as to realize the output sale of the liquid. In this embodiment, when it is required to mix the auxiliary materials in the liquid, the controller 5 controls the auxiliary material supply mechanism 33 to output the auxiliary materials to the cup, and then controls the liquid mixing container 34 to output the liquid.

Specifically, in order to better stir the auxiliary material and the liquid, the controller 5 can output the auxiliary material and the liquid at the same time, so that the auxiliary material and the liquid are fully mixed by flushing the liquid. In other embodiments, a stirring mechanism can also be arranged above the liquid outlet station. When stirring is needed, the stirring mechanism moves downwards to the cup to stir the liquid. Of course, the stirring mechanism can be realized by adopting the existing stirring technology.

Referring to fig. 13, the scanner vending machine further comprises a conveyor 6 for transporting the vended goods from the output station of the liquid supply device 3 to the pick-up area 11 of the cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the liquid outlet station is located inside the whole code-scanning vending machine, i.e. not exposed, so that the sanitation of the sold liquid can be guaranteed. In detail, the conveying device 6 may be a conveyer belt structure in this embodiment. The liquid outlet station is positioned at one end of the conveying belt structure, and the other end of the conveying belt structure is positioned in the goods taking area 11. Thus, the output of the cup is realized through the transmission belt structure.

In a word, the technical scheme of the utility model can realize sweeping the sign indicating number and purchase liquid. The automatic cup feeding and discharging device particularly realizes automatic feeding and automatic discharging of the cup, and outputs a designated position. The process is automatic and convenient for users to use.
