[0034] Working principle: structural layout and functional modules. The multifunctional robot arm of the intelligent coffee machine consists of key components such as the main board 1, the base 3, the main body arm 10, the anti-fouling module protection plate, the claw head drive motor 6, the clamping shaft 22, and the fixture driver 23. These components work together to achieve precise control and multifunctional operation of the robot arm. The main board 1 serves as the control center of the robot arm and is responsible for achieving precise control of the robot arm. The base 3 is located on the top of the main board 1 to provide a stable support for the robot arm and ensure stability during operation. The main body arm 10 connects the base 3 and the claw head drive motor 6 and is the main operating part of the robot arm. The moving parts are responsible for positioning and moving in space. The anti-fouling module protection plate 1 8 and the anti-fouling module protection plate 2 9 are covered on the outside of the main arm 10 and have a stain-resistant and antibacterial coating 26 to protect the internal mechanical structure from contamination.

The clamp driver 23 is equipped with a flexible splint 24 and an anti-slip inner touch strip to adapt to coffee cups of different sizes and shapes, ensuring stability during grasping and placement.

[0035] Driven by the motor, the main arm 10 moves to the designated position according to the planned path, such as the coffee bean container, the coffee machine outlet, etc., to clamp and place. The claw drive motor 6 controls the clamp driver 23 to clamp the coffee cup, and then moves to the bottom of the coffee machine, waiting for the coffee to be made. The robot arm places the coffee cup under the coffee machine outlet, and the coffee machine starts to make coffee. After the coffee is made, the robot arm clamps the coffee cup again and places it in the designated cup-taking area. The temperature and humidity sensor monitors the ambient temperature and humidity around the coffee machine to prevent the coffee quality from being affected by environmental changes. The anti-fouling module protective plate and the anti-fouling and antibacterial coating 26 design of the robot arm ensure that the robot arm can be used for a long time.
