[0026] Such as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, a capsule coffee vending machine includes a chassis 1 and a capsule coffee body 3. A material rack 2 is arranged on the top surface of the chassis 1. A driving mechanism 4 is arranged inside the chassis 1, and the end of the movable part of the driving mechanism 4 is fixedly installed with a pickup cylinder 5. A suction cup 51 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the pickup cylinder 5. A controller 6 is fixedly installed on the front inner wall of the chassis 1, and an automatic vending control device 7 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the chassis 1. More specifically, the purchaser performs a purchase payment operation through the automatic vending control device 7. The controller 6 controls the driving mechanism 4 to drive the pickup cylinder 5 to rotate one week. The driving mechanism 4 drives the pickup cylinder 5 to rotate to the bottom end of the material rack 2, so as to pick up the lowermost capsule coffee body 3 in the material rack 2. When picking up, the capsule coffee body 3 is fixed inside the pickup cylinder 5 through the suction cup 51. When rotating one week, at this time, the capsule coffee body 3 and the pickup cylinder 5 are in a vertical state. At this time, the suction cup 51 releases the fixation of the capsule coffee body 3 in the pickup cylinder 5, which is convenient for the purchaser to take the capsule coffee body 3. The driving mechanism 4 drives the pickup cylinder 5 to pick up and discharge the capsule coffee body 3, thereby avoiding damage to the capsule coffee body 3 and being convenient for the purchaser to take.
[0027] A baffle 201 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the material rack 2. An L-shaped guide rail 202 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the baffle 201, and an arc part 203 is arranged at the bottom end of the L-shaped guide rail 202. A through groove 204 is opened on the rear side wall of the baffle 201. A transparent cover 205 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the L-shaped guide rail 202. More specifically, through the baffle 201 and the L-shaped guide rail 202 on its front side wall, the capsule coffee body 3 is guided and limited. After the driving mechanism 4 drives the pickup cylinder 5 to rotate and is inserted into the lowermost capsule coffee body 3, it is taken out through the through groove 204. Then, the baffle 201 and the capsule coffee body 3 inside the baffle 201 move downward under the action of gravity, and the arc part 203 is used to limit the capsule coffee body 3.
[0028] The driving mechanism 4 includes a motor 401.

More specifically, the motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 and the movable arm 403 to rotate one week, so as to drive the pickup cylinder 5 to rotate to pick up the capsule coffee body 3 at the bottom end of the material rack 2.
[0029] The automatic vending control device 7 includes a main unit 701. The main unit 701 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the chassis 1, and a display screen 702, a button 703 and a two-dimensional code 704 are arranged on the surface of the main unit 701. More specifically, the button 703 enables the purchase operation on the display screen 702, and the two-dimensional code 704 enables the collection of payment.
[0030] The edge of the capsule coffee body 3 is inside the L-shaped guide rail 202, and the through groove 204 and the end of the capsule coffee body 3 are arranged in correspondence. More specifically, by corresponding the through groove 204 with the capsule coffee body 3, it is convenient to pick up the capsule coffee body 3 below.
[0031] When picking up the capsule coffee body 3, the picking cylinder 5 and the capsule coffee body 3 are sleeved, and the bottom surface of the capsule coffee body 3 located inside the picking cylinder 5 is in close contact with the suction cup 51. More specifically, through the suction cup 51 at the inner bottom of the picking cylinder 5, it is convenient to fix the capsule coffee body 3 inside the picking cylinder 5 to prevent the capsule coffee body 3 from falling during shipment.
[0032] In summary: The purchaser performs a purchase payment operation through the vending control device 7. The controller 6 controls the drive mechanism 4 to drive the picking cylinder 5 to rotate one week. The drive mechanism 4 drives the picking cylinder 5 to rotate to the bottom end of the rack 2, so as to pick up the lowermost capsule coffee body 3 in the rack 2. When picking up, the capsule coffee body 3 is fixed inside the picking cylinder 5 by the suction cup 51. When rotating one week, the capsule coffee body 3 and the picking cylinder 5 are in a vertical state. At this time, the suction cup 51 releases the fixation of the capsule coffee body 3 inside the picking cylinder 5, which is convenient for the purchaser to take the capsule coffee body 3. The drive mechanism 4 drives the picking cylinder 5 to pick up and discharge the capsule coffee body 3, thereby avoiding damage to the capsule coffee body 3 and being convenient for the purchaser to take.
