[0033] Example 2

[0034] The coffee cup transfer assembly provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the first transmission member 4 includes a second mounting plate 41 fixed to the top end of the first mounting plate 33. Two second transmission wheels 42 are rotatably provided at the top end of the second mounting plate 41.

Starting the second motor 46 drives the two second transmission wheels 42 to rotate through the second transmission belt 43, driving the first transmission rod 45 to rotate. Fixing the second motor 46 below the second mounting plate 41 and driving through the two second transmission wheels 42 makes the overall structure more compact.

[0035] Further, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the moving member 5 includes a transmission block 51 slidably connected to the first mounting plate 33. The transmission block 51 is threadedly connected to the first transmission rod 45. When the first transmission rod 45 rotates, it drives the transmission block 51 to move.

When the second transmission rod 71 rotates, it drives the second connection block 74 to move, thereby separately driving the clamping member 8 to rise and clamp the coffee cup under the cup dropping device, clamping it actively to prevent the cup dropping device from directly dropping the coffee cup, resulting in an inaccurate dropping position.

[0037] Embodiment 3

[0038] Further optimize the coffee cup transfer assembly provided in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2. As Figure 5 shown, the support member includes a support tray 6 located in front of the second support block 54. The support tray 6 is used to hold the coffee cup. Both sides of the support tray 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fourth mounting plate 52. A plurality of drop holes are formed in the support tray 6 for allowing the liquid accidentally dropped on the support tray 6 to fall through the drop holes.

[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the clamping member 8 includes a first arc plate 81 fixed to the top of the second connecting block 74. One end of the first arc plate 81 is provided with a second arc plate 82. The first arc plate 81 and the second arc plate 82 are used to contact the coffee cup. A second hinge plate 12 is fixedly provided on one side of the second arc plate 82, and a first hinge plate 11 is fixedly provided on one side of the first arc plate 81. The first hinge plate 11 and the second hinge plate 12 are hinged by a torsion spring. When the first arc plate 81 and the second arc plate 82 clamp the coffee cup, the first hinge plate 11 and the second hinge plate 12 drive the first arc plate 81 and the second arc plate 82 to clamp the coffee cup through the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0040] The usage process of the coffee cup transfer assembly provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0041] When it is necessary to transfer the coffee cup and cooperate with other processes inside the self-service coffee machine, start the second motor 46 to drive the first transmission rod 45 to rotate through the second transmission wheel 42 and the second transmission belt 43, so that the transmission block 51, the clamping member 8 and the support tray 6 move to make them close to the bottom end of the cup dropping device. Subsequently, start the third motor 73 to drive the clamping member 8 to move upward alone to cooperate with the cup dropping device to remove the coffee cup. Then, the second motor 46 rotates in the reverse direction to drive the clamping member 8 back to the original position;

[0042] Subsequently, start the first motor 25 to rotate the two first transmission wheels 23 through the first transmission belt 24, and drive the driven member 3 and the coffee cup to move to the lower part of one side of the extraction device through the first transmission belt 24. Start the third motor 73 to drive the clamping member 8 and the coffee cup to move upward to reduce the distance from the extraction device and avoid the coffee liquid splashing due to the height.

[0043] The extracted coffee is dropped into the coffee cup through the extraction device. When the coffee drops into the coffee cup, the weight of the coffee cup increases. Since there is no support bracket 6 at the bottom, the coffee cup, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, stretches the first arc plate 81 and the second arc plate 82 to a certain extent, so that they are clamped more firmly by the torsion spring. Finally, the protrusion on the top edge of the coffee cup blocks the first arc plate 81 and the second arc plate 82 to prevent the coffee cup from sliding. Then, the third motor 73 is started to rotate in the opposite direction to return the coffee cup to its original position. Then, it is moved to other positions to add other ingredients, such as ice cubes or sugar. When adding, the third motor 73 is started to move upward to prevent the coffee liquid from splashing.

[0044] After the last addition is completed, the coffee cup is moved to the exit by starting the No. 1 motor 25. At this time, the No. 3 motor 73 is started to drive the No. 2 connecting block 74 and the clamping member 8 to move downward, so that the No. 1 arc plate 81 and the No. 2 arc plate 82 are separated from the coffee cup. The elastic force of the torsion spring is blocked by the contact between the No. 1 arc plate 81 and the No. 2 arc plate 82, so that the coffee cup is no longer clamped, making it convenient for users to take it.
