[0038] See Figure 1-4 As shown, the cutlery box delivery device comprises: a mounting seat 1, mounted on the self-service pizza machine body; a storage rack 2, mounted on the mounting seat 1, used to place the cutlery box 6, with a discharge slot 21 for the cutlery box 6 to pass through the bottom; a driving mechanism 3, mounted on the mounting seat 1, with a friction member 4 provided at the output end, the output end of the friction member 4 passes through the mounting seat 1 and extends into the discharge slot 21, and is used to push the cutlery box 6 located at the bottom of the storage rack 2 out of the discharge slot 21. The utility model has a simple structure, reduces the use of belts and sensors compared to the prior art, and reduces the production cost. The friction member 4 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 3, so that the cutlery box 6 located on the friction member 4 gradually moves forward under the action of friction force, thereby leaving the discharge slot 21 to complete delivery. The cutlery box 6 to be delivered on the storage rack 2 enters the discharge slot 21 under the influence of gravity and is located on the friction member 4 to prepare for the next delivery.

[0039] In a further specific embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31 and a driving member 32, wherein the mounting frame 31 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting seat 1, and the driving member 32 is mounted on the mounting frame 31, and the output end of the driving member 32 is connected to the friction member 4. It should be noted that the driving member 32 of this embodiment is a rotary motor. When installing, the rotary motor is first installed on the mounting frame 31, and then the mounting frame 31 is installed on the bottom of the mounting seat 1. The structure is simple and easy to install. When in use, the rotary motor drives the friction member 4 to rotate. According to the length of the cutlery box 6, the number of rotations of the rotary motor is set, that is, the rotary motor rotates the set number of times, and a cutlery box 6 can be driven to leave the discharge trough 21 through the friction member 4 to complete the shipment. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the number of sensors for sensing the position of the cutlery box 6 is reduced.

[0040] In a further specific embodiment, the friction member 4 is a friction wheel, a rubber ring 41 is sleeved on the outer side of the friction wheel, a mounting groove 11 is opened in the middle of the mounting seat 1, the friction wheel penetrates the mounting groove 11 and extends into the discharge groove 21, and the rubber ring 41 contacts the cutlery box 6 to be discharged. By sleeved the rubber ring 41 on the outer side of the friction wheel, the sliding friction between the friction wheel and the cutlery box 6 is increased, so that the drive mechanism 3 can drive the cutlery box 6 to be shipped through the friction wheel, the structure is simple, the shipment is convenient, and the production cost is reduced.

[0041] In a further specific embodiment, a clamping assembly 5 is included, wherein a first end of the clamping assembly 5 is connected to the top of the storage rack 2, and a second end of the clamping assembly 5 abuts against a cutlery box 6 at the top of the storage rack 2. The clamping assembly 5 includes a spring 51, a first pressing plate 52, and a second pressing plate 53, wherein the first pressing plate 52 is mounted on the storage rack 2, a first end of the spring 51 is connected to the first pressing plate 52, a second end of the spring 51 is connected to the second pressing plate 53, and the second pressing plate 53 abuts against a cutlery box 6 at the top of the storage rack 2.

[0042] The spring 51 provides a downward pressure to the cutlery box 6 in the storage rack 2, so that the cutlery box 6 to be shipped at the bottom can be close to the friction wheel, so that the friction wheel can drive the cutlery box 6 to ship through friction. As a preferred embodiment, the number of springs 51 in this embodiment is two, and in other specific embodiments, the number of springs 51 can also be one or three. It can be understood that according to actual needs, the second pressing plate 53 can be set only at the second end of the clamping assembly 5, and the second end of the clamping assembly 5 is connected to the second pressing plate 53, and the elastic force of the clamping assembly 5 is applied to the second pressing plate 53, and the other side of the second pressing plate 53 is against the cutlery box 6. The setting of the pressing plate can increase the contact surface with the cutlery box 6, so that the force area of ​​the cutlery box 6 is larger. The structure is simple and the stability is strong.

[0043] In a further specific embodiment, a storage port 22 for storing a cutlery box 6 is provided at the top of the storage rack 2, a storage cavity 23 for placing the cutlery box 6 is provided in the middle of the storage rack 2, the storage port 22 is communicated with the top of the storage cavity 23, and the discharge trough 21 is communicated with the bottom of the storage cavity 23. It is understandable that when adding a cutlery box 6 to the storage cavity 23, the cutlery box 6 is placed into the storage cavity 23 through the storage port 22. When the cutlery box 6 is taken out of the box, the cutlery box 6 at the bottom passes through the storage cavity 23 and enters the discharge trough 21 located on the friction wheel, and the friction wheel rotates to drive the cutlery box 6 to move so as to complete the shipment. In addition, the utility model can also set a sensor at the bottom of the storage cavity 23 according to actual needs to sense the number of cutlery boxes 6 to be shipped in the storage cavity 23, so as to replenish the cutlery boxes 6 in time.

[0044] In a further specific embodiment, the material storage rack 2 includes a fixed plate 24 and two folding plates 25, the fixed plate 24 is installed on the mounting base 1, and the two folding plates 25 are respectively connected to the two sides of the fixed plate 24, and the material storage cavity 23 is formed between the two folding plates 25 and the fixed plate 24. The two folding plates 25 are both in an "L" shape. The two "L"-shaped folding plates 25 just limit the other three sides of the cutlery box 6, and with the cooperation of the two folding plates 25, the front of the material storage rack 2 is just exposed to see the number of cutlery boxes 6 in the material storage cavity 23, with a simple structure and strong practicality. The discharge groove 21 is opened at the bottom of the folding plate 25 close to the friction side. The cutlery box 6 is sent out of the material storage rack 2 through the discharge groove 21.
