[0023] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the machine body 100 is provided with a mixing bin device 300, an ice making device 400 and a grinding and extraction device 500. The mixing bin device 300 includes a plurality of storage bins 310 arranged in pairs, each storage bin 310 is used to store different materials to achieve the diversification of material types, and each pair of storage bins 310 is connected to a mixing discharging mechanism 320. Each pair of storage bins 310 can simultaneously put materials into the mixing discharging mechanism 320 to improve the material putting efficiency. The front of the machine body 100 is provided with a coffee taking-out port 130 and a human-computer interaction module 110. The user interacts with the device through the human-computer interaction module 110 and takes out the prepared coffee through the coffee taking-out port 130.

[0024] like Figure 2 ,3 As shown, a packaging device 200 is arranged in the machine body 100 corresponding to the coffee dispensing outlet 130, and the packaging device 200 includes a horizontal driving mechanism 210, and the horizontal driving mechanism 210 is connected to a cup holder 211, and a cup dropper 220, a centralized material discharging mechanism 230, a cover dropper 240 and a cover presser 250 are arranged side by side above the horizontal driving mechanism 210, and the horizontal driving mechanism 210 drives the cup holder 211 to move horizontally below the cup dropper 220, the centralized material discharging mechanism 230, the cover dropper 240 and the cover presser 250, and the cup holder 211 is arranged horizontally below the cup dropper 220, the centralized material discharging mechanism 230, the cover dropper 240 and the cover presser 250. When making coffee, the horizontal driving mechanism 210 first drives the cup holder 211 to the bottom of the cup dropper 220 to receive the coffee cup. After receiving the coffee cup, the cup holder 211 is driven to move to the bottom of the centralized discharging mechanism 230, so that the coffee cup receives the material and the coffee is filled into the cup. Then, the cup holder 211 is driven to move to the bottom of the lid dropper 240 to let the lid fall onto the mouth of the coffee cup. Finally, the cup holder 211 is driven to move to the bottom of the capping machine, which completes the pressing of the coffee cup and the lid, and the user can take the coffee from the coffee outlet 130.

[0025] like Figure 2 , 7 As shown, feeding pipes are respectively arranged between the mixing bin device 300, the ice-making device 400 and the grinding and extraction device 500 and the centralized discharging mechanism 230. The materials put in by the mixing bin device 300, the ice-making device 400 and the grinding and extraction device 500 are transported to the centralized discharging mechanism 230 through the feeding pipes, and then put into the coffee cup by the centralized discharging mechanism 230. The centralized discharging mechanism 230 includes a support frame 201, and an ice outlet 232 and a plurality of discharging nozzles 231 are provided on the support frame 201. An inclined material plate 233 is also provided on the support frame 201, and the inclined material plate 233 is arranged directly below the ice outlet 232. The ice outlet 232 is located on one side of the discharge nozzle 231. Due to space limitations, when there are a large number of discharge nozzles 231, the discharge nozzles 231 are located above the coffee cup, and the ice outlet 232 cannot be aligned with the mouth of the coffee cup. By tilting the material plate 233, the ice cubes thrown out of the ice outlet 232 can be guided to the top of the coffee cup to prevent them from being thrown out of the coffee cup.

[0026] like Figure 2 , 5As shown in FIG. 6 , the ice outlet 232 is connected to the ice making device 400 through a feeding pipe. The ice making device 400 is an ice maker. An ice collecting hopper is provided below the ice outlet of the ice maker. The feeding pipe connected to the ice outlet 232 is connected to the bottom end of the ice collecting hopper 410. The ice cubes made by the ice maker are put into the ice collecting hopper 410 through the ice outlet of the ice maker, and then transported to the ice outlet 232 by the feeding pipe, and then put into the coffee cup. The grinding and extraction device 500 and each mixing and discharging mechanism 320 are respectively connected to a discharging nozzle 231 through a feeding pipe. The grinding and extraction device 500 includes a grinder 520. A bean storage bin 510 is connected above the grinder 520. The bean storage bin 510 is used to store coffee hoppers and control the feeding of coffee beans. The coffee beans are fed into the grinder for grinding. A brewer 530 is connected below the grinder 520. A coffee powder guide cylinder 531 is provided between the grinder 520 and the brewer 530. The coffee powder produced after grinding enters the brewer 530 through the coffee powder guide cylinder 531 for brewing. The brewer 530 is provided with a liquid guide joint. The feeding pipe between the grinding and extraction device 500 and the centralized discharging mechanism 230 is connected and fixed through the liquid guide joint. The coffee liquid produced by the brewer 530 is transported to the discharging nozzle 231 in the centralized discharging mechanism 230 through the liquid guide joint and the feeding pipe connected thereto, and then is fed into the coffee cup by the discharging nozzle 231. The machine body 100 is provided with a cash receiving device 120, which includes a coin inserting mechanism, a banknote inserting mechanism and a money returning mechanism. The cash receiving device 120 facilitates customers to make cash payments and can receive and return cash.

[0027] Working process: The user selects the coffee to be purchased through the human-computer interaction module 110, and performs online payment or cash payment through the human-computer interaction module 110 or the cash collection device 120. After the customer selects the coffee, the mixing bin device 300, the ice making device 400 and the grinding and extraction device 500 put the required materials as required, and at the same time, the horizontal driving mechanism 210 drives the cup holder 211 to receive the coffee cup, and then drives the coffee cup to move to the bottom of the centralized discharging mechanism 230, the cover dropper 240 and the cover presser 250 in sequence, and completes the processes of cup receiving, material loading, cover dropper and cover presser in sequence, and finally completes the coffee making and cupping. After the coffee making and cupping is completed, the user takes the coffee through the coffee taking-out port 130.
