The surface of the placement plate 100 is in contact with the pusher block 220. Two sliding members 230 are slidably arranged in the pusher block 220, and a spring 240 is connected in the pusher block 220. One end of the spring 240 is connected to the sliding member 230. A positioning bar 250 is slidably arranged at one end of the sliding member 230. The positioning bar 250 is slidably connected to the placement plate 100. A notch corresponding to the positioning bar 250 is opened on the surface of the pusher block 220. In a specific implementation, by starting the driving member 210, The movable end of the pusher block 220 is rotated to drive the pusher block 220 to move along the surface of the placement plate 100, which is beneficial to the stability of the pusher block 220 during the movement, and the pusher block 220 will push the beverage bottle off the placement plate 100, so that the consumer can get the beverage. Here, the beverage bottle is placed between the two positioning bars 250. The elastic force of the two springs 240 can make the two sliding parts 230 approach each other, thereby driving the two positioning bars 250 to move along the inner wall of the notch, reducing the possibility of the positioning bars 250 being offset during the movement. The two positioning bars 250 will clamp the beverage bottle, reducing the possibility of inconvenience in clamping bottles of different diameters.

[0027] In this embodiment, the driving member 210 includes a motor 211 and a screw rod 212. The motor 211 is installed on the surface of the support block 110, and the output shaft of the motor 211 is connected to the screw rod 212.

In specific implementation, by starting the motor 211, its output shaft drives the screw rod 212 to rotate, thereby driving the moving block 221 and the pushing block 220 to move, which is conducive to the pushing block 220 pushing the beverage bottle.

[0028] The push block 220 is provided with a cavity 222, and the two sliding members 230 are both slidably arranged in the cavity 222, and the spring 240 is connected to the side wall of the cavity 222. In the specific implementation, the two sliding members 230 and the two springs 240 are arranged in the cavity 222 to reduce the possibility of damage to the two sliding members 230 and the two springs 240 due to external influences; the sliding member 230 includes a sliding rod 231, a limiting block 232 and a T-shaped block 233, and the sliding rod 231 and the limiting block 232 are both slidably arranged in the cavity 222, and the sliding rod The two ends of 231 are respectively connected to the limit block 232 and the T-block 233, the limit block 232 is connected to the spring 240, and the limit block 232 is in contact with the inner wall of the cavity 222, and the T-block 233 is slidably arranged inside the positioning bar 250. In a specific implementation, the spring 240 is sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 231, and the beverage bottle is placed between the two positioning bars 250. The limit block 232 and the slide bar 231 can be reset by the elastic force of the spring 240, and the two positioning bars 250 will clamp the beverage bottle, which is conducive to clamping beverage bottles of different specifications.

[0029] A T-slot 251 is provided in the positioning bar 250, and the T-block 233 is fitted with the inner wall of the T-slot 251.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of the push material manipulator and the beverage vending machine is as follows: when in use, the beverage bottle is placed on the surface of the placement plate 100, and the beverage bottle is located between the two positioning bars 250. Due to the elastic force of the two springs 240, the two limit blocks 232 in the cavity 222 can be brought close to each other, thereby driving the slide bar 231 and the T-block 233 to move, so that the two positioning bars 250 move along the inner wall of the notch, which is beneficial to the stability of the two positioning bars 250 during the movement process, and the two positioning bars 250 will clamp the beverage bottle. , reducing the possibility that the pushing robot arm is inconvenient to clamp beverage bottles of different diameters. Consumers can operate the vending machine body 300 to make the motor 211 on the surface of the support block 110 work. The motor 211 will drive the screw rod 212 to rotate, so that the moving block 221 drives the pushing block 220 to move along the surface of the placement plate 100, reducing the possibility that the moving trajectory of the pushing block 220 will deviate during the movement process. The pushing block 220 will push the beverage bottle off the placement plate 100, making it easier for consumers to obtain beverages.
