[0023] In this embodiment, the cup support 17 is used to place the straw cup 18, which provides storage space for small items such as straws, making it convenient for users to access. The operator places the straw cup 18 into the cup support 17 from top to bottom until the limiting block 19 is in contact with the top of the cup support 17, thereby placing the straw cup 18 in the correct position.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 A pull rod 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking frame 10, and a small ball 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 23 away from the locking frame 10.

[0025] This embodiment utilizes the pull rod 23 and ball 24 on the locking frame 10 to provide a convenient point of force for the user to operate the locking frame 10. The user can easily control the movement of the locking frame 10 by pulling the ball 24, facilitating quick release or insertion of the locking frame 10 into the port 8, making the adjustment of the angle of the movable plate 3 more effortless and efficient. This user-friendly design reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the convenience and comfort of the user when adjusting the device.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 The movable plate 3 is internally fixedly connected to a bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3, while the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, the threaded rod 12 is connected to the movable plate 3 via a bearing inside the movable plate 3. This reduces friction between the threaded rod and the movable plate 3 during rotation, making the rotation of the threaded rod smoother and more stable, and reducing resistance during operation. Simultaneously, the bearing provides good support and positioning for the threaded rod, ensuring it is less prone to misalignment or wear during long-term use, extending the service life of the device and improving the overall structural stability.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 The surface of the mounting bracket 1 has mounting openings 16, and the number of mounting openings 16 is several.

[0029] This embodiment provides convenient conditions for the fixed installation of the device through the mounting port 16 on the surface of the mounting bracket 1, making it easy to stably install the bracket machine in a suitable position on the surface of the robotic coffee machine. This design makes the installation process of the device simpler and more efficient, can adapt to different installation environments and needs, enhances the versatility and applicability of the device, and provides convenience for the integrated installation of the equipment.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 The ordering touch screen 6 has handles 15 fixedly connected to both sides, and a reinforcing frame 21 and a reinforcing rod 20 are fixedly connected between the two mounting brackets 1 on the left and right sides respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the handles 15 on both sides of the ordering touch screen 6 facilitate user movement of the screen, improving operational convenience. The reinforcing frame 21 and reinforcing rod 20 between the left and right mounting brackets 1 enhance the structural strength and stability of the entire device, reducing shaking or deformation during use, ensuring the device's sturdiness and reliability in long-term use, extending its service life, and also improving the overall structural safety.

[0032] When using the robotic coffee machine's order tray, users can first place their items in the placement tray 2, thus freeing up their hands to order. They can also place their backpacks in the placement tray 2, thereby reducing the burden on the person ordering and improving their comfort. With the partition function of the divider 22, different items can be placed in their respective areas to avoid mixing. Some areas can be used to place wet wipes, allowing the person ordering to wipe their hands before and after ordering. If a straw is needed, it can be taken from the straw holder 18 inside the cup holder 17. When the tilt angle of the ordering touch screen 6 needs to be adjusted, the staff can first pull the ball 24, which will drive the lever 23 to pull the locking frame 10 out of the opening 8 of the fan-shaped plate 7. At this time, the tension spring 11 is stretched. Then, rotate the movable plate 3 to the appropriate angle, release the ball 24, and the tension spring 11 will reset and drive the locking frame 10 to re-insert into the corresponding opening 8, thus completing the angle fixation of the movable plate 3. When the movable plate 3 rotates, it will drive the fixed column 4, the T-shaped slider 5 and the ordering touch screen 6 to rotate, thereby completing the adjustment of the angle of the ordering touch screen 6, which will make it easier for customers to order food.

[0033] When maintenance is required on the ordering touchscreen display 6, the handle can be rotated to rotate the threaded rod 12, causing the two connectors 13 in the sliding groove to move in opposite directions, disengaging from the locking port 14 on the T-shaped slide bar 5. Then, adjust the T-shaped slide bar 5 to slide upwards within the T-shaped groove, thereby completing the disassembly of the ordering touchscreen display 6. During the ordering process, users can select coffee type, flavor, etc., through the ordering touchscreen display 6 to complete order confirmation and payment. If temporary items need to be placed, the placement tray 2 can be used. Throughout the entire use, the mounting bracket 1 is securely installed on the robotic coffee machine through the mounting port 16, and the reinforcing bracket 21 and reinforcing rod 20 ensure the overall stability of the device. After use, remove personal items from the placement tray 2 to ensure that the ordering touchscreen display 6 and other components remain clean for subsequent use.
