Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee capsule vending machines, and in particular to a multi-flavor unmanned retail coffee capsule pushing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Capsule coffee has become more and more popular in people's daily lives. Capsule coffee has the advantages of being easy to brew and easy to store and sell. The number of vending machines for automatically selling capsule coffee is also increasing.

[0003] At present, the existing commercial unmanned retail capsule coffee machines on the market use a reciprocating rotation mechanism when selling capsules. This method will cause the number of capsules sold to be inconsistent and the mechanism to be unstable. The capsules may not fall or fall too much during rotation. In order to avoid the disadvantages of the reciprocating rotation mechanism, there is also a gripper to pick up the material. In this way, the gripper can only take one piece of material at a time. In this way, when a customer places an order for multiple items, he needs to wait for the machine to take the materials multiple times, wasting his waiting time. Therefore, a multi-flavor unmanned retail coffee capsule pushing mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content
