It is a new form of commercial retail and is also known as a 24-hour mini supermarket. Moreover, with the changes in the market, various types of vending machines have emerged, including self-service pizza machines for selling products such as pizza.

[0003] For an existing self-service pizza machine, such as the Chinese invention patent application with the application number: CN202410529807.8, the pizza of this self-service pizza machine is mainly placed in a heat-resistant aluminum pizza container, and then put into a pizza box. Multiple pizza boxes are stored in a storage device for refrigeration or freezing. Thus, the quality of the pizza can be maintained for a long time. When in use, the pizza box is taken out from the storage device by a handling device and sent to an open-box device. The open-box device fixes and opens the pizza box. The handling device located on one side of the open-box device takes out the pizza container from the pizza box and puts it into a heating device for heating. After heating, the pizza container is taken out from the heating device and put back into the pizza box, and then the pizza box is sent to the delivery outlet.

[0004] Although this self-service pizza machine can complete the production of pizza well, there are still the following defects:

[0005] First, the pizza and the pizza container need to be placed in a pizza box for storage. The volume of the pizza box is usually larger than that of the pizza, so it requires a large storage space, resulting in a small number of pizzas stored in the storage device.

[0006] Second, after the pizza box enters the secondary cabinet, an open-box device is required to fix and open the pizza box, which has a high cost.

[0007] Third, this self-service pizza machine has a complex structure, a high production cost, requires multiple steps to complete the production of one pizza, and has a long waiting time.

[0008] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] As Figures 1 - 12As shown in the figure, the self-service pizza machine includes a main cabinet 1, a sub-cabinet 2, a storage device 3, a heating device 4 and a control device. A delivery channel 11 is provided between the main cabinet 1 and the sub-cabinet 2. The sub-cabinet 2 is provided with a delivery outlet 21. The storage device 3 is installed in the main cabinet 1. The heating device 4 and the control device are respectively installed in the sub-cabinet 2. A number of pizza containers 5 containing pizzas 101 are placed in the storage device 3.

[0052] It further includes: a pick-and-place platform 22, installed in the sub-cabinet 2 for placing the pizza containers 5.

[0053] A first handling device 6, installed in the main cabinet 1 for transporting the pizza containers 5 in the storage device 3 to the sub-cabinet 2.

[0054] A lid-removing device 7, installed in the sub-cabinet 2 for removing the lid 51 of the pizza container 5 located on the first handling device 6.

[0055] A second handling device 8, installed in the sub-cabinet 2 for sending the pizza container 5 located at the first handling device 6 to the heating device 4 for heating, putting the pizza container 5 after completion of heating into a pizza box 10, and pushing the pizza box 10 containing the pizza 101 after completion of heating to the delivery outlet 21.

[0056] A pizza-box storage device 9, installed in the sub-cabinet 2 for storing the pizza boxes 10 and sending the pizza boxes 10 to the pick-and-place platform 22.

[0057] The control device is used to control the first handling device 6, the lid-removing device 7, the second handling device 8, the heating device 4 and the pizza-box storage device 9.

[0058] It should be noted that the present invention further includes a refrigeration device. The output end of the refrigeration device is communicated with the main cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the refrigeration device is installed at the lower end of the main cabinet 1. In other specific embodiments, it can also be installed on the top or side of the main cabinet 1 or installed in the sub-cabinet 2, which can be adjusted according to actual needs. The refrigeration device is used to provide cold air to the storage device 3 to meet the freezing or refrigeration of the pizza 101.

[0059] In the present invention, the storage device 3 stores the pizza containers 5 containing the pizzas 101 to be baked, improving the space utilization rate of the storage device 3 and increasing the number of pizzas 101 that can be stored. The first handling device 6 and the second handling device 8 cooperate to transfer the pizza containers 5, reducing the use of the box-opening device and also reducing the production steps of the pizza 101. The structure is simple and the production cost is reduced.

[0060] Such as Figures 2 - 7As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the first handling device 6 includes a first moving mechanism 61 and a first goods receiving member 62. The first goods receiving member 62 is installed at the output end of the first moving mechanism 61, and the first moving mechanism 61 is installed on the main cabinet 1 for driving the first goods receiving member 62 to move.

[0061] The second handling device 8 includes a second moving mechanism 81 and a second goods receiving member 82. The second goods receiving member 82 is installed at the output end of the second moving mechanism 81, and the second moving mechanism 81 is installed on the sub-cabinet 2 for driving the second goods receiving member 82 to move.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, a groove 821 for passing through the first goods receiving member 62 is formed by the top of the second goods receiving member 82 of this embodiment being recessed downward.

[0063] When handling the pizza container 5, the first moving mechanism 61 drives the first goods receiving member 62 to move into the storage device 3 to pick up the pizza container 5 containing the pizza 101, and then drives the first goods receiving member 62 to move to the picking and placing platform 22 and be located above the second goods receiving member 82. The lid removing device 7 removes the lid 51 of the pizza container 5. The first moving mechanism 61 drives the first goods receiving member 62 to move downward and makes the first goods receiving member 62 enter the groove 821. At this time, the bottom of the pizza container 5 is separated from the first goods receiving member 62 and contacts the second goods receiving member 82. The first moving mechanism 61 drives the first goods receiving member 62 to exit the sub-cabinet 2, completing the transfer of the pizza 101. The structure is simple, and there is no need for an opening device to fix the pizza box 10, reducing the production cost.

[0064] As Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown, in other specific embodiments, a groove 821 for passing through the second goods receiving member 82 is formed by the top of the first goods receiving member 62 being recessed downward. In this embodiment, the first moving mechanism 61 drives the first goods receiving member 62 to move into the storage device 3 to pick up the pizza container 5 containing the pizza 101, and then drives the first goods receiving member 62 to move to the picking and placing platform 22. The lid removing device 7 removes the lid 51 of the pizza container 5. The second moving mechanism 81 drives the second goods receiving member 82 to extend into the groove 821 of the first goods receiving member 62, and then moves upward to separate the bottom of the pizza container 5 from the first goods receiving member 62 and contact the second goods receiving member 82. The first moving mechanism 61 drives the first goods receiving member 62 to exit the sub-cabinet 2, completing the transfer of the pizza 101.

[0065] As Figure 4As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the second moving mechanism 81 includes a lifting assembly 811, a rotating assembly 812, and a telescopic assembly 813. The lifting assembly 811 is installed on the auxiliary cabinet 2. The rotating assembly 812 is installed at the output end of the lifting assembly 811. The telescopic assembly 813 is installed at the output end of the rotating assembly 812. The second receiving member 82 is installed at the output end of the telescopic assembly 813.

[0066] After the pizza 101 is heated, the second handling device 8 takes out the pizza container 5 from the heating device 4 and moves it to the picking and placing platform 22. The rotating assembly 812 drives the telescopic assembly 813 to rotate, so that the second receiving assembly is tilted, and the pizza container 5 slides off the second receiving assembly onto the pizza box 10 on the picking and placing platform 22. Then, the pizza container 5 is pushed to the shipping outlet 21 by the second handling mechanism. It should be noted that when the pizza 101 enters the heating device 4 for heating, the box storage device 9 places the pizza box 10 at the picking and placing platform 22.

[0067] As Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the first receiving member 62 further includes a fixing member 621. A handling space 622 for receiving the pizza container 5 is formed between the fixing member 621 and the first receiving member 62. By providing the fixing member 621, the two sides of the pizza container 5 are limited, preventing offset and dropping during the transfer of the pizza container 5 and enhancing stability. The contact end of the fixing member 621 with the pizza container 5 is recessed inward in an arc shape. When the first receiving member 62 picks up the pizza container 5, the contact end of the fixing member 621 fits against the side of the pizza container 5. This setting enables the fixing member 621 to better limit the pizza container 5 and prevent it from falling, further enhancing stability.

[0068] As Figures 8 - 10 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the lid removing device 7 includes a first driving mechanism 71 and a lid removing mechanism 72. The first driving mechanism 71 is installed on the picking and placing platform 22. The lid removing mechanism 72 is installed at the output end of the first driving mechanism 71. The picking and placing platform 22 is provided with a lid removing station 221. The first driving mechanism 71 is used to drive the lid removing mechanism 72 to remove the lid 51 of the pizza container 5 at the lid removing station 221.

[0069] The first driving mechanism 71 drives the lid removing mechanism 72 to rotate, and the lid removing mechanism 72 picks up and places the lid 51, so as to remove the lid 51 from the pizza container 5. Compared with the prior art method of lifting and opening the box, the structure is simplified, the production cost is reduced, and it is convenient for installation.

[0070] In a further specific embodiment, the lid taking mechanism 72 includes a swing arm 721, a lid taking member 722 and an air source. The swing arm 721 is installed at the output end of the first driving mechanism 71. The lid taking member 722 is installed on the swing arm 721. The air source is installed on the main cabinet 1 or the sub-cabinet 2. The output end of the air source is communicated with the lid taking member 722. When the lid taking member 722 is attached to the lid 51 of the pizza container 5, the air source sucks the gas between the lid taking member 722 and the lid 51.

[0071] Since the first handling device 6 itself has the function of moving up and down, when the first handling device 6 transports the pizza container 5 to the picking and placing station, the first driving mechanism 71 drives the lid taking member 722 to move above the lid 51 through the swing arm 721. Then the first handling device 6 drives the pizza container 5 to move upward to make the lid taking member 722 attach to the lid 51. The air source makes the space between the lid taking member 722 and the lid 51 in a negative pressure state, thereby completing the fixation of the lid 51. Then the first handling device 6 moves downward to separate the lid 51 from the pizza container 5.

[0072] In a further specific embodiment, a recycling box 23 is arranged on one side of the picking and placing platform 22. A recycling station 231 is arranged on the recycling box 23. The first driving mechanism 71 drives the lid taking mechanism 72 to move between the lid taking station 221 and the recycling station 231. The recycling box 23 is used to recycle the lid 51 of the pizza container 5.

[0073] Through the arrangement of the recycling box 23, after the lid taking mechanism 72 removes the lid, the first driving mechanism 71 drives the lid taking mechanism 72 to move above the recycling box 23. At this time, the air source stops extracting the air between the lid and the lid taking member 722, or the air source injects air between the lid and the lid taking member 722 to make them separate from each other, and the lid drops into the recycling box 23 for later recycling and reuse.

[0074] As Figures 11 - 12 shown, in a further specific embodiment, the pizza box storage device 9 includes a pizza box storage mechanism 91 and a pizza box taking mechanism 92. The pizza box storage mechanism 91 is installed above the picking and placing platform 22. The pizza box taking mechanism 92 is installed below the picking and placing platform 22. When it is necessary to ship the pizza box 10, the output end of the pizza box taking mechanism 92 penetrates through the picking and placing platform 22 to grab the pizza box 10 located in the pizza box storage mechanism 91 and place it at the picking and placing platform 22.

[0075] The separately provided pizza box storage mechanism 91 is used to store the pizza boxes 10, which can increase the space utilization rate of the storage device 3 and the sub-cabinet 2. The structure is simple and can make full use of the space of the self-service pizza machine.

[0076] In a further specific embodiment, the pizza box storage mechanism 91 includes a box body 911 and a limiting member 912. An outlet 9111 for passing the pizza box 10 is formed at the bottom of the box body 911, and an inlet 9112 for storing the pizza box 10 is formed at the upper end of the box body 911. The first end of the limiting member 912 is installed on the box body 911, and the second end of the limiting member 912 inclines towards the outlet 9111.

[0077] The pizza box 10 is limited by the arrangement of the limiting member 912, so that a certain force is required for the pizza box 10 to leave the box body 911 from the outlet 9111. As a preferred embodiment, the number of the limiting members 912 in this embodiment is four, and the second ends of the four limiting members 912 respectively incline towards the middle of the box body 911. Two limiting members 912 are respectively arranged on both sides of the box body 911, so that the limiting effect can be better, the forces on the four limiting members 912 can be balanced, and the stability can be enhanced.

[0078] The pizza box taking mechanism 92 includes a second driving mechanism 921, a pizza box taking member 922 and a gas source. The second driving mechanism 921 is installed on the sub-cabinet 2, the pizza box taking member 922 is installed at the output end of the second driving mechanism 921, and the gas source is installed on the main cabinet 1 or the sub-cabinet 2. When the second driving mechanism 921 pushes the pizza box taking member 922 to penetrate upward through the picking and placing platform 22 and move to the outlet 9111 to fit with the bottom of the pizza box 10, the gas source sucks the gas between the pizza box taking member 922 and the pizza box 10.

[0079] This setting completes the fixation of the pizza box 10 by pumping out the air between the pizza box taking member 922 and the pizza box 10 through the gas source and making it in a negative pressure state, so as to realize the pizza box taking action.

[0080] It should be noted that the gas source and the suction pipe in this embodiment are common components in other fields, so they are hidden in the figure and will not be further described. In addition, the pizza box taking member 922 and the pizza lid taking member 722 of the present invention are both selected as suction cups, and the gas source can be the same gas source or two gas sources can be respectively set to provide suction for the two.

[0081] In a further specific embodiment, a limiting seat 222 for limiting the pizza box 10 is installed on the picking and placing platform 22. A limiting space 223 for restricting the position of the pizza box 10 is formed between the inner walls of the limiting seat 222. A through groove 224 for passing the output end of the pizza box taking mechanism 92 is formed on the picking and placing platform 22, and the through groove 224 is located in the limiting space 223.

[0082] The second driving mechanism 921 drives the suction cup to move upward. When the suction cup approaches the outlet 9111 of the box body 911 and fits with the pizza box 10 inside the box body 911, the air source is activated to extract the air between the suction cup and the pizza box 10, creating a negative pressure state between the two. The second driving mechanism 921 drives the suction cup to move downward so that the pizza box 10 is located within the limiting space 223 of the limiting seat 222. The limiting seat 222 limits the pizza box 10. Then the air source injects air into the suction cup, filling the space between the suction cup and the pizza box 10 with air, and the two are separated to complete the box-taking action.
