[0042] The usage process of the coffee cup pushing structure provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0043] The transmission device inside the self-service coffee machine moves the mounting frame 9 below the cup dispenser in the self-service coffee machine. At this time, a coffee cup needs to be taken from the cup dispenser. By starting the second motor 71, the gear 73 drives the rack 11 to move upward in cooperation with the sliding of the slide bar 82 and the sliding cylinder 74. The L-shaped plate 81 drives the bracket 10 and the clamping assembly 2 and the elastic assembly 3 above the bracket 10 to also move upward. By the cooperation of the arc-shaped mounting plate 21 and the grip plate 22 with the cup dispenser, one coffee cup on the cup dispenser is removed. Through the cooperation of the driving assembly 7 and the lifting assembly 8, the clamping assembly 2 and the elastic assembly 3 are more stable when picking up the coffee cup, and the coffee cup will not fall directly. At this time, by reversing the rotation of the second motor 71, the bracket 10 returns to the inside of the mounting box 1;

[0044] At this time, the transmission device on the self-service coffee machine drives the mounting frame 9 to drive the components and the coffee cup above to move below the extraction device. The coffee cup catches the extracted coffee, and then moves to the designated outlet of the self-service coffee machine through the transmission device;

[0045] It is necessary to push out the coffee cup filled with coffee. By starting the first motor 61, the threaded rod 62 drives the sliding block 52 to move. Through the transmission plate 51, the clamping assembly 2 and the elastic assembly 3 move forward, so as to push the coffee cup to the place where the self-service coffee machine places the coffee cup, which is convenient for users to pick up.
