At this time, the material receiving groove 162, the extraction block 52, and the liquid receiving box 61 are concentric.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When in use, coffee capsules 47 are placed into the receiving slots 41 in sequence. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the first group of coffee capsules 47 at the lowest position is blocked by the first limiting column 44, the sliding frame 6 is pushed into the slide groove 32, the beverage cup is placed under the liquid receiving box 61, the motor 11 is started to drive the synchronous pulley 13, the synchronous belt 14, and the material receiving frame 16 to move, the material receiving frame 16 moves to the bottom of the receiving groove 41 and then stops, the electric cylinder 46 pulls the limiting frame 45 close to the cup dropping bucket 4, the pushing column 452 moves forward to contact the pushing block 441, and then pushes the first limiting column 44 to withdraw from the second slot 402, and the first limiting column 44 is pulled out of the second slot 402. The column 44 retracts into the storage tube 43. Before the first limiting column 44 retreats, the second limiting column 451 is inserted into the first slot 401, thereby blocking the second group of coffee capsules 47 in the receiving slot 41. The first group of coffee capsules 47 fall into the receiving slot 162. Then the electric cylinder 46 pushes the limiting frame 45 to retreat. The second limiting column 451 retreats and withdraws from the first slot 401. The first limiting column 44 pops out and passes through the second slot 402. The second group of coffee capsules 47 fall on the first limiting column 44.

[0039] Then the receiving rack 16 continues to move forward and stops in the second guide groove 31, the electric slide 5 drives the lifting block 51 and the extraction block 52 to descend, the lower end of the extraction block 52 presses the top of the coffee capsule 47, the pricking needle 53 is inserted into the coffee capsule 47 to extract water and mix the coffee powder for extraction, the coffee liquid flows out and drips into the liquid receiving box 61, and then enters the beverage cup, after the extraction is completed, the lifting block 51 and the extraction block 52 rise and leave, the motor 11 starts to drive the synchronous belt 14 to reverse;

[0040] The synchronous belt 14 drives the receiving rack 16 to retreat, and the receiving rack 16 enters the first guide groove 12 and then flips over. The receiving rack 16 stops after reaching the maximum inclination angle, and the rotating shaft 161 hits the bottom of the first guide groove 12 to shake the coffee capsule 47 off and drop it into the waste box 2. The receiving rack 16 moves forward and returns to its original position, and the above operation is repeated to perform subsequent coffee capsule 47 extraction operations.
