[0019] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 A lifting and shifting manipulator mechanism for an automatic pizza vending machine includes a mounting box 1. Two sets of slide rails 2 are fixed vertically on the side wall of the mounting box 1. Two sets of first pulleys 3 are arranged between the two sets of slide rails 2. The two sets of first pulleys 3 are connected by a first belt 4. A mounting block 5 is fixed on the first belt 4. A first servo motor 6 is arranged inside the mounting box 1. The output end of the first servo motor 6 is axially fixed on one of the first pulleys 3. A slider 7 is slidably connected on the slide rails 2. A bracket 8 is fixed between the two sets of sliders 7. A transfer frame 9 is slidably connected on the bracket 8 in the horizontal direction. A second belt 10 is bolted to the transfer frame 9 and is arranged along the sliding direction of the transfer frame 9. Two sets of second pulleys 11 are connected to the end of the second belt 10. The second pulleys 11 are rotatably connected to the bracket 8. A second servo motor 12 is arranged on the bracket 8. The output end of the second servo motor 12 is axially fixed on one of the second pulleys 11.
