Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent meal vending machine, comprising a shell 1, wherein a storage component 2, a material pushing component 3 and a heating component 4 are arranged inside the shell 1; the storage component 2 comprises a cargo channel 21 arranged at the rear; a cargo channel slide rail 22 is arranged on the cargo channel 21; a retractable first push plate 23 is arranged on the inner side of the cargo channel slide rail 22; the material pushing component 3 comprises a material pushing slide rail 31 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the shell 1; a vertical material pushing rod is arranged between the material pushing slide rails 31, and a material pushing seat 32 which can slide up and down along the material pushing rod is arranged on the material pushing rod; a guard plate 33 is arranged on the outer side of the material pushing seat 32; a second push plate 34 is arranged on the inner side of the material pushing seat 32.

[0023] The pushing component 3 transports the food on the storage component 2 to the heating component 4 for heating, and then pushes it out to complete the meal selling process. The storage component 2 is provided with a cargo lane 21 for storing food, and the food is pushed into the pushing component 3 by the first pushing plate 23. The pushing component 3 pushes the food from the storage component 2 into the heating component 4 for heating by the second pushing plate 34 thereon.

[0024] The lower part of the housing 1 is provided with legs 11, rollers 12 and a heat dissipation net 13. The rear part of the storage part 2 is provided with a refrigeration system, and the front part of the refrigeration system is provided with a cold air outlet 24. The heating part 4 includes a first delivery port 41 and a first microwave oven 43 matched therewith; the heating part 4 also includes a second delivery port 42 and a second microwave oven 44 matched therewith; the heating part 4 is also provided with an electric control device 45 and a heat dissipation port 46 for dissipating heat for the microwave oven; the connection between the heating part 4 and the pushing part 3 is also provided with a corresponding first delivery port 47 and a second delivery port 48; the rear parts of the first delivery port 41 and the second delivery port 42 are provided with a push-out device to push out the heated food.

[0025] The refrigeration system can be used to keep the food in the storage component 2 stored for a long time without deterioration. Cold air is blown out from the cold air outlet 24, and the pushing component 3 pushes the food into the first microwave oven 43 and the second microwave oven 44 in batches from the first inlet 47 and the second inlet 48. After heating, the food is pushed out from the first outlet 41 and the second outlet 42 by the pushing device, wherein a material receiving platform is provided on the outer sides of the first outlet 41 and the second outlet 42, so that the food can be safely taken away after falling into the material receiving platform.

Then the pushing seat 32 rises along the pushing rod to the cargo aisle 21, and the meal is pushed onto the pushing seat 32 by the first pushing plate 23, wherein the guard plate 33 ensures that the meal will not be pushed off by the first pushing plate 23 during the movement. Then the second pushing plate 34 on the pushing seat 32 pushes the meal from the first inlet 47 into the first microwave oven 43 for heating. After the heating is completed, the pushing device in the microwave oven pushes the meal out from the first outlet 41. When the first microwave oven 43 heats the meal, the pushing component 3 repeats the above actions to transport other meals to the second microwave oven 44 for heating.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
