1. An automatic heating vending machine, comprising:
a storage space;
a storage mechanism installed in the storage space to store a food;
a fetching mechanism installed in the storage space and disposed under the storage mechanism to catch the food released from the storage mechanism; wherein the fetching mechanism comprises:
a placing position used for placing the released food;
a blocking element disposed near the placing position and adapted to prevent the food from falling;
a rotating mechanism connected to the placing position; and
a first driving module;
a gripping arm mechanism disposed on one side of the fetching mechanism and adapted to grip the food on the fetching mechanism; wherein the first driving module is used for controlling the rotating mechanism to rotate to thereby allow the placing position to rotate and come into proximity to the gripping arm mechanisms;
a rotating disc mechanism disposed on one side of the gripping arm mechanism and adapted to undergo horizontal movement and vertical movement, wherein, after gripping the food, the gripping arm mechanism places the food on the rotating disc mechanism; and
a heating mechanism disposed above the rotating disc mechanism, wherein after the food has been placed on the rotating disc mechanism, the rotating disc mechanism undergoes horizontal movement and vertical movement, allowing the food to be admitted to the heating mechanism and heated.
