Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of beverage and food taking port devices, and more specifically to an intelligent beverage bar rotating cup taking mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In the previous design of beverage machine take-out openings, non-transparent and fixed-position structures were mostly used. Customers could not directly see the status of the drinks. When taking the drinks, they had to reach inside to take them, which posed a safety hazard. It was easy to touch other objects due to unclear vision and cause injuries. It was also inconvenient to take and deliver the drinks.
[0003] At the same time, the lack of intelligent sensing and control components makes it impossible to realize functions such as automatic reminder of the arrival of drinks and automatic opening and closing of the food pickup port, resulting in uncertain waiting time for customers and low service efficiency. In addition, due to the lack of corresponding protection and water accumulation treatment measures, the equipment is easily contaminated and damaged, and the maintenance cost is high. It is difficult to meet the modern beverage bar and other places for efficient, safe and intelligent operation needs. Therefore, this kind of intelligent drink bar rotary cup picking mechanism is developed and designed, which aims to solve these existing problems and improve the overall experience and efficiency of beverage and food pickup.
[0004] To this end, the present application proposes an intelligent drinking bar rotating cup-taking mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention
