[0020] The first guide axis 23 and the second guide axis 33 are both located on a horizontal plane and are perpendicular to each other.

[0021] The two ends of the suction and grasping bracket 34 are respectively equipped with a cup grasping device 4 and a cup suction device 5.

[0022] The cup grabbing device 4 is composed of a motor 41, a gripper 42, a cup grabbing device bracket 45 and a cup clamping module 46. The cup clamping module 46 is installed at the lower part of the cup grabbing device bracket 45, and the gripper 42 is installed at the lower part of the cup clamping module 46. The motor 41 drives the transmission belt to enable the cup clamping module 46 to move vertically up and down in the cup grabbing device bracket 45. The cup grabbing device bracket 45 is provided with a fifth sensor 43 and a sixth sensor 44 for respectively sensing the upper and lower movement limit positions of the cup clamping module 46.

[0023] The cup suction device 5 is composed of a suction cup 51, an air pipe 52, a motor 3 53 and a cup suction device bracket 56. The suction cup 51 is connected to the air pipe 52. The suction cup 51 is arranged at the lower part of the cup suction device bracket 56. The motor 3 53 drives the transmission belt to enable the suction cup 51 and the air pipe 52 to move vertically up and down in the cup suction device bracket 56.
