[0043] The plate separation mechanism includes a plate separator 17, an electromagnetic push-pull rod 22 and a motor II 23;
[0044] There are two plate dividers 17, which are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the housing through two fixing plates 8 on the same side; the electromagnetic push-pull rod 22 and the motor II23 are both arranged on the inner wall of the housing through a mounting plate, and the shaft of the motor II23 is connected to the plate divider 17 through a synchronous belt, and the position of the electromagnetic push-pull rod 22 cooperates with the plate outlet 5;
[0045] The disk separator 17 includes a mounting member and a rotating member, wherein the mounting member is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8, and the mounting member is rotatably connected to the rotating member, and a rotating section 171 cooperating with the synchronous belt is provided on the rotating member, and a circular curved surface slice 172 and a blocking piece 173 are provided at the end of the rotating member;
[0046] The thickness of the circular curved surface slice 172 changes regularly; the baffle 173 is a sheet structure with uniform thickness;
[0047] The tray pushing mechanism includes a motor 113, a linear guide rail 15, a bracket and a tray top member 25;
[0048] There are two linear guides 15, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wall of the shell, and the two linear guides 15 cooperate with each other; the motor I13 cooperates with the linear guide 15 on the lower side of the inner wall, one side of the bracket is connected to the motor I13, and the other side cooperates with the linear guide 15 on the upper side of the inner wall; the tray top member 25 is installed on the bracket;
[0049] The motor I13, the electromagnetic push-pull rod 22 and the motor II23 are all electrically connected to the processor.
[0050] A push head is provided at the end of the electromagnetic push-pull rod 22, and the push head is an elastic bracket used to increase the contact area with the dinner plate.
[0051] There are two electromagnetic push-pull rods 22, which are respectively arranged on the inner walls of the housing on the upper and lower sides of the motor II23.
[0052] The linear guide rail 15 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing through a linear guide rail mounting seat 19 .
[0053] The bracket comprises a detachable diamond-shaped bracket.
[0054] A bracket mounting seat 10 matched with the bracket is arranged on the inner wall of the shell.
[0055] The tray top member 25 is provided with a fixed block for contacting with the dinner plate.
[0056] The synchronous belt is a transmission belt, and the two disk dividers 17 are connected to the output end of the motor II23 through the synchronous belt, and the position relationship between the two disk dividers 17 and the output end of the motor II23 is arranged in an isosceles triangle.
[0057] The number of the linear guide rails 16 is more than five, and the linear guide rails 16 are parallel to each other. The linear guide rails 16 are used to limit the movement trajectory of the dinner plate in the shell.
[0058] The rotating section 171 rubs against the synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt rotates through the rotating section 171 to drive the rotating parts of the two disc separators 17 to rotate;

[0061] The edge thickness of the circular curved surface slice 172 changes regularly, specifically from thin to thick and then from thick to thin; when the circular curved surface slice 172 rotates, the thin edge rotates into the gap between two adjacent plates, and then as the circular curved surface slice 172 rotates, the thicker area separates the plate from the stacked plates, so that the target plate is separated from the other plates;
[0062] The tray pushing mechanism and the tray sending mechanism cooperate with each other to keep the movement of the tray in the shell and keep the position of the first tray.
[0063] The blocking piece 173 serves to prevent the dinner plate from tilting in a normal state, and the circular curved surface slice 172 is closer to the end of the rotating member of the dish divider 17 than the blocking piece 173;
[0064] The plate separation mechanism separates the stacked plates stored in the housing by rotating the two plate separators 17. At this time, the circular curved surface slice 172 stops rotating, and the electromagnetic push-pull rod 22 in the plate pushing mechanism works to push the separated plates out of the plate outlet 5. After being pushed out, the two plate separators 17 continue to rotate to make the blocking piece 173 block other plates.
[0065] The tray pushing mechanism includes a motor 113, a linear guide rail 15, a bracket and a tray top member 25;
[0066] The motor I13 can drive the bracket to reciprocate on the linear guide rail 15, and the tray top piece 25 contacts the dinner plate to push the dinner plate.
[0067] The five linear guide rails 16 are used to define the position of the dinner plate and keep the dinner plate moving in a defined direction when the tray pushing mechanism is in action.
[0068] In actual use, the facial information is scanned and stored by the information collection camera 6 and enters into the processor. When the user takes the meal tray, it is decided whether to issue the meal tray according to the stored information.
