[0060] The working principle of the lipstick vending machine is as follows:

[0061] The consumer can input the text to be engraved on the lipstick according to the needs of the consumer on the touch screen 6, and when the consumer finishes inputting, the chip in the touch screen 6 feeds back a laser marking signal to the control system. At this time, the control system controls the power unit 37 to drive the push rod 30 to push a lipstick in the storage channel 10 onto the conveying belt 20, and the linear module 731 drives the baffle assembly 730 to move along the horizontal X direction towards the direction of the telescopic arm 720, so that the baffle assembly 730 blocks the lipstick conveyed on the conveying belt 20 at the position corresponding to the positioning channel 710 on the surface of the conveying belt 20. When the position sensor 732 senses and identifies that the position corresponding to the positioning channel 710 on the surface of the conveying belt 20 has a lipstick, the control system controls the driving unit 721 to drive the telescopic arm 720 to retract, and drives the push plate 722 to push the lipstick blocked by the baffle assembly 730 into the positioning channel 710. At this time, the baffle assembly 730 moves along the horizontal X direction away from the telescopic arm 720 and is reset. When the sensing and identifying unit 712 senses and identifies that the positioning channel 710 has a lipstick, the sensing and identifying unit 712 feeds back a signal that the positioning channel 710 has a lipstick to the control system, and then the control system controls the laser marking machine 8 to engrave the text input by the consumer on the touch screen 6 on the shell of the lipstick. When the laser marking machine 8 completes the marking of the lipstick, the driving unit 721 drives the telescopic arm 720 to extend and reset. At this time, the control system controls the telescopic unit 711 to extend and push the marked lipstick in the positioning channel 710 into the conveying belt 20, and finally the conveying belt 20 conveys the marked lipstick into the taking opening 11 for the consumer to take the goods.

[0062] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
