The paper box retrieval device 700 is provided on the switch door of the machine shell 100. The condiment retrieval device 800 is also provided above one end of the conveyor belt 600 away from the discharge port 504. The condiment retrieval device 800 is provided beside the paper box retrieval device 700. A monitoring camera is also provided above the machine shell 100.

[0050] During use, the raw material ingredients are placed in the freezing device 200. When someone places an order through the control panel, first, the unmanned cooking vending machine spits out a piece of paper with a barcode and a number. Then, the raw material storage and transfer device 200 opens, and the raw material ingredients fall into the raw material conveying device 400, and then fall into the cooking device 500 through the opening of the raw material conveying device 400. After a certain period of time, the raw material ingredients are cooked. Then, the finished food ingredients fall into the food bowl that has been conveyed to below the discharge port 504 through the discharge port 504 of the cooking device 500. At this time, the unmanned cooking vending machine will broadcast the specified number through the control panel to remind the customer to take out the finished food ingredients. The customer opens the pick-up window at the discharge port 504 by scanning the barcode and then takes out the finished food ingredients.

[0051] The raw material storage and transfer device 200 includes a raw material box 201, a support frame 202 capable of supporting the raw material box 201, and a driving device 203 provided at the bottom of the support frame 202.

[0052] The raw material box 201 is divided into ten columns horizontally and vertically. A variety of raw material ingredients with different flavors can be placed in the raw material box 201. At both ends of the bottom of the raw material box 201, there are protrusions 201a and a fourth baffle 201b slidably connected to the protrusions 201a.

[0053] Among them, for the protrusions 201a provided at both ends of the bottom of the raw material box 201, the width of one end of the protrusion 201a is twice the width of the protrusion 201a at the other end. In this way, when multiple raw material boxes 201 are placed side by side, they can be slidably installed on the support frame 202.

[0054] When in use, the staff slides the raw material box 201 containing raw materials onto the support frame 202, then removes the fourth baffle 201b at the bottom of the raw material box 201, and then the raw materials inside the raw material box 201 will fall onto the first baffle 202a.

[0055] A first baffle 202a is provided at the bottom of the support frame 202, and a slot 202b is opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the support frame 202. One end of the first baffle 202a is hinged to the bottom end of the raw material box 201, and a block 202c is provided at the other end of the first baffle 202a. The block 202c can be stuck in the slot 202b to fix the first baffle 202a. A baffle rod 202d is provided at the bottom of the end of the first baffle 202a away from the block 202c, and a protrusion 202e is provided at the end of the baffle rod 202d away from the first baffle 202a.

[0056] The driving device 203 includes a motor 203a, a transmission belt 203b connected to the output shaft of the motor 203a, and a lever 203c arranged on the transmission belt 203b. The driving device 203 moves in the lateral direction.

[0057] When in use, the motor 203a drives the transmission belt 203b to rotate, and then drives the lever 203c to move. At this time, the lever 203c moves at the bottom of the raw material box 201, and continues to move when it moves to contact the baffle 202d set at the bottom of the first baffle 202a, and then opens the first baffle 202a from the slot 202b. At this time, the lever 203c passes over the baffle 202d, and the raw materials fall from the raw material box 201. Then the lever 203c moves back to press the baffle 202d to push the first baffle 202a back to the fixed position, and then the lever 203c continues to move downward to open the first baffle 202a set at the bottom of the next first baffle 202a, and so on.

[0058] The raw material conveying device 400 is arranged below the raw material storage and transportation device 200, including a funnel 401, a third baffle 402 arranged at the opening of the funnel 401, a pull rod 403 connected to one side of the third baffle 402, and a cylinder 404 arranged at the end of the pull rod 403 away from the third baffle 402.

[0059] When in use, the raw materials fall from the raw material box 201 into the raw material conveying device 400. At this time, the cylinder 404 drives the pull rod 403 to move, thereby pulling the third baffle 402 away from the opening of the funnel 401. At this time, the raw materials fall from the opening of the raw material conveying device 400 into the cooking device 500.

[0060] The cooking device 500 is arranged below the raw material conveying device 400, and includes seven cooking pots 501, seven wire baskets 502, a grasping mechanism 503 and a discharge port 504.

The first mechanical claw 503b cooperates with the handle 502a on the wire basket 502. The first mechanical claw 503b can clamp the handle 502a on the wire basket 502 and then lift the wire basket 502 out of the cooking pot 501 and put it in.

[0063] The seven cooking pots 501 and seven wire baskets 502 can ensure that multiple portions of raw material ingredients are cooked simultaneously.

[0064] During use, the lid of the cooking pot 501 is opened. The first mechanical claw 503b of the grasping mechanism 503 moves to the handle 502a of the wire basket 502, lifts the wire basket 502 out of the cooking pot 501. Then the support column 503a of the grasping mechanism 503 rotates, and the wire basket 502 is rotated above the discharge port 504. At this time, the raw material ingredients fall into the wire basket 502 from the opening of the raw material conveying device 400. Then the support column 503a rotates, and the wire basket 502 is rotated above the designated cooking pot 501. Then the first mechanical claw 503b drives the wire basket 502 to move downwards to put the wire basket 502 into the cooking pot 501. Then the first mechanical claw 503b releases and returns to the initial position. Then the lid is covered.

[0065] It should be noted that a waste liquid collection device is arranged below the cooking device 500, and a water tank is arranged beside the cooking device 500.

[0066] During use, the water in the cooking pot 501 needs to be replaced with clean water after long - term cooking. At this time, the water outlet at the bottom of the cooking pot 501 is opened, and the water flows into the waste liquid collection device through the drainage pipe. At this time, the water inlet pipe pumps clean water from the water tank and injects it into the cooking pot 501 to ensure that the water in the cooking pot 501 is clean.

[0067] One end of the conveyor belt 600 is arranged below the discharge port 504 of the cooking device 500. Above the end of the conveyor belt 600 far from the discharge port 504, a carton retrieval device 700 is arranged. Above the end of the conveyor belt 600 far from the discharge port 504, a seasoning retrieval device 800 is also arranged. The seasoning retrieval device 800 is arranged beside the carton retrieval device 700.

[0069] The seasoning packet retrieval device 800 includes a cylinder body 801. A cylinder door 805 is arranged on one side of the cylinder body 801. A detachable hook-shaped metal rod 802 is arranged on the cylinder door 805. Seasoning packets 803 are evenly stacked on the hook-shaped metal rod 802. Through holes for cooperating with the hook-shaped metal rod 802 are arranged on the seasoning packets 803. A support plate 806 for cooperating with the hook-shaped metal rod 802 is arranged on the cylinder door 805. A limiting structure is arranged at the bottom end of the hook-shaped metal rod 802. A vacuum suction cup 804 is arranged on the left side of the leftmost seasoning packet 803. The cylinder door 805 is detachably connected to the cylinder body 801.

[0070] During use, the carton 703 is grabbed by the second robotic gripper 702 and then falls onto the conveyor belt 600, and then is conveyed by the conveyor belt 600 to the position below the discharge port 504. Then, by controlling the vacuum suction cup 804 to suck the seasoning packet 803, the weak point at the upper end of the seasoning packet 803 is broken and falls onto the conveyor belt 600 and is conveyed to the retrieval window together with the processed finished food ingredients. Embodiment

[0071] Refer to Figures 12 to 15 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the raw material box 201 is divided into three layers in the longitudinal direction. The raw material food ingredients placed in the three layers of raw material boxes 201 in each vertical column are the same, and the raw material food ingredients placed in the horizontal row of raw material boxes 201 in the extending direction of the conveyor belt 203b in the driving device 203 are the same. An anti-falling component 300 is arranged between two longitudinally adjacent layers of the raw material box 201.

[0072] It should be noted that the anti-falling component 300 is fixedly connected to the support frame 202.

[0073] The anti-falling component 300 includes a connecting baffle 301 capable of connecting the upper and lower layers of raw material boxes 201, a second baffle 302 rotatably connected to the support frame 202, two sliding rods 303 rotatably connected to the second baffle 302, and a power plate 304 slidably connected to the side wall of the support frame 202.

[0074] Among them, an "eight"-shaped chute 301a is formed on the connecting baffle 301. The second baffle 302 is divided into two halves. One ends of the two halves of the second baffle 302 are hinged to the bottom of the raw material box 201, and the other ends of the two halves of the second baffle 302 are respectively connected to two sliding rods 303. The extending direction of the sliding rod 303 is the same as the extending direction of the conveyor belt 203b. One end of the sliding rod 303 far from the second baffle 302 extends into the chute 301a. A through groove 304a is formed on the power plate 304. One end of the sliding rod 303 far from the second baffle 302 extends into the through groove 304a, and both ends of the power plate 304 are connected to the power device.

[0075] The power device can be a gear-rack transmission, a lead screw transmission, a belt transmission, etc., which can drive the power plate 304 to move up and down, so as to drive the one extending into the through groove 304a.

[0076] During use, the power device drives the power plate 304 to move downward, and then drives the two sliding rods 303 extending into the through groove 304a of the power plate 304 to move along the "eight"-shaped chute 301a, and then drives the two halves of the second baffle 302 to rotate and open around the hinged part, enabling the raw material ingredients inside the upper two layers of the raw material box 201 to fall into the inside of the lower layer of the raw material box 201. Then the power device drives the power plate 304 to move upward, driving the two halves of the second baffle 302 back to the initial fixed position.

[0077] The rest of the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0078] Operation process: After placing an order through the control panel, first, the unmanned cooking vending machine will spit out a piece of paper with a barcode and a number. Then, the lever 203c slides at the bottom of the bottommost raw material box 201 to open the first baffle 202a, and the raw materials and ingredients fall from the raw material box 201. Then, the lever 203c moves back to push the second baffle 302 back to its fixed position. At this time, the upper two layers of raw material boxes 201 remain stationary. When the lever 203c opens all the first baffles 202a in an entire horizontal row of the bottommost layer, the raw materials and ingredients in the entire vertical column of the bottommost layer of raw material boxes 201 are emptied. At this time, the power plate 304 provided at the bottom of the upper two layers of raw material boxes 201 moves downward driven by the power device to drive the first baffle 202a to rotate around the hinge part to open, so that the raw materials and ingredients inside the entire vertical column of the upper two layers of raw material boxes 201 fall into the interior of the lower layer of raw material boxes 201. Then, the power plate 304 moves upward to drive the first baffle 202a back to its initial fixed position. At this time, the raw materials and ingredients that have fallen from the bottommost layer of raw material boxes 201 fall into the funnel 401 of the raw material conveying device 400. Then, the air cylinder 404 drives the pull rod 403 to move to open the opening of the funnel 401, and then the raw materials and ingredients fall from the opening of the funnel 401 into the net bag 502 that has been moved to the lower part of the opening of the funnel 401 in advance. Then, the grasping mechanism 503 in the cooking device 500 moves the net bag 502 containing the raw materials and ingredients and places it into the cooking pot 501, and then the pot lid is covered for cooking. When the specified time is reached, the first mechanical claw 503b of the grasping mechanism 503 lifts the net bag 502 out of the cooking pot 501 and then rotates the net bag 502 above the discharge port 504. At this time, the paper box 703 is grabbed by the second mechanical claw 702 and dropped onto the conveyor belt 600, and the vacuum suction cup 804 sucks the seasoning packet 803 to break the weak point at the upper end of the seasoning packet 803 and drop it onto the conveyor belt 600.
