In this embodiment, the meal outlet door 6-3 is installed in a liftable manner in the cabinet door 6, and a meal outlet electric cylinder 6-4 is installed at the bottom of the meal outlet door 6-3. The meal outlet electric cylinder 6-4 drives the meal outlet door 6-3 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the movement of meals in the cabinet 7 to the meal outlet table 6-2.

[0039] The upper chamber of the cabinet 7 serves as a storage space, and a storage mechanism 2 is installed in the storage space for storing food. The storage mechanism 2 includes a plurality of slide rail assemblies 2-1, on which food is placed. The slide rail assemblies 2-1 are inclined so that food moves toward the cabinet door 6 under the action of its own weight, thereby reducing the number of mechanisms for moving food in the storage mechanism 2 and preventing the disadvantages of conveying food by belts.

[0040] The slide rail assembly 2-1 includes two L-shaped baffles 2-2, multiple bottom slide rails 2-3 and multiple guide rails 2-4.

[0049] When the conveying device is working, the conveying frame 1-2 can slide relative to the conveying drive member 1-1, and the conveying clip 1-3 can slide relative to the conveying frame 1-2, so that the conveying clip 1-3 has two-stage displacement, thereby increasing the conveying stroke of the conveying device, while reducing the size of the vending machine, ensuring that the conveying device has sufficient space to convey the meal trays. The clamping drive assembly 1-4 drives the conveying drive member 1-1 to swing, thereby changing the spacing between the conveying clips 1-3, thereby facilitating the clamping of the product trays and improving the stability of the product tray conveying process.

[0050] A swing connection block 1-6-1 and a telescopic mounting plate 1-6-2 are installed on the base 1-6. The conveying drive member 1-1 is connected to the swing connection block 1-6-1 through a rotating shaft, thereby ensuring that the conveying drive member 1-1 can swing relative to the base 1-6. The clamping drive assembly 1-4 is installed on the base 1-6 through the telescopic mounting plate 1-6-2.

[0051] The clamping drive assembly 1-4 includes a guide block 1-4-1, a connecting rod 1-4-2 and a clamping cylinder 1-4-3. The guide block 1-4-1 is liftably mounted on the base 1-6 through a guide column 1-4-4. The guide block 1-4-1 is connected to the conveying drive member 1-1 through the connecting rod 1-4-2. The conveying drive member 1-1 is driven to swing by lifting and lowering the guide block 1-4-1.
