[0023] In this embodiment, the robot host 1 has an internal space 101, and a controller assembly 3 is fixedly connected to one corner of the internal space 101. At the same time, the internal space 101 has an opening at the top, and an electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the internal space 101. The electric telescopic rod 5 is connected to the controller assembly 3.
[0024] A controller component 3 is provided inside the robot host 1. The controller component 3 is used to control the internal structure of the robot host 1, so that the internal structure of the robot host 1 can work and the robot host 1 can move.
[0025] Furthermore, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the push block 6, and the two end faces and the bottom of the push block 6 are slidably connected to the two inner walls and the bottom of the built-in space 101, respectively.
[0026] Furthermore, an active inclined surface 601 is provided above the push block 6, and a passive inclined surface 401 is provided on one side below the support block 4, while the active inclined surface 601 and the passive inclined surface 401 are closely fitted together.
[0027] After the electric telescopic rod 5 is connected to the push block 6, the push block 6 is placed on the side below the support block 4, and the active inclined surface 601 provided on the top of the push block 6 moves along the passive inclined surface 401 below the support block 4 when the electric telescopic rod 5 is extended, causing the support block 4 to move upward.
[0028] Furthermore, a slide section 102 is provided on one side of the built-in space 101, and one end of the sliding connection support block 4 is inserted into the slide section 102.
[0029] Furthermore, a rotatable connecting ball 7 is inserted into the other end face of the support block 4, and the outer side of the ball 7 is tightly fitted to the other side of the inner space 101.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the lifting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 4, and the bottom of the lifting plate 2 is in contact with the top of the robot host 1. At the same time, the area of the lifting plate 2 and the top of the robot host 1 are the same.

[0032] In this embodiment, the robot host 1 is provided with a moving wheel 8 below it, and the moving wheel 8 is connected to the controller assembly 3. At the same time, the robot host 1 carries a meal box 9 on top.
[0033] After the robot host 1 is equipped with a moving wheel 8, it moves the entire robot host 1 with the command of the controller component 3.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] Within the built-in space 101 of the robot host 1, a controller assembly 3 and an electric telescopic rod 5 are respectively installed. The electric telescopic rod 5 is controlled by the controller assembly 3. A push block 6 is provided at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5, and a support block 4 is provided above the push block 6. Simultaneously, the active inclined surface 601 above the push block 6 is in contact with the passive inclined surface 401 on one side of the support block 4. When the electric telescopic rod 5 operates, the push block 6 moves, moving the support block 4 upwards. Simultaneously, one side of the support block 4 engages with the slide rail 102. To maintain stability, the other side of the support block 4 has ball bearings 7 that are in contact with the inner wall of the built-in space 101. To reduce friction when the support block 4 rises, the lifting plate 2 above the support block 4 also rises. Figure 4 In the process, after the robot host 1 enters under the food box 9, the lifting plate 2 rises and lifts the food box 9. Finally, the controller component 3 controls the moving wheels 8 to send the food box 9 to the corresponding detention center.
