As we all know, Chinese cooking pays attention to the heat, divides the heat into many levels, and applies them separately according to the different requirements of the dishes. This produces a lot of cooking methods. These methods are based on the chef's subjective feeling, that is, in the traditional cooking process. Material selection, collocation, cooking, cooking, panning, and loading are all done manually by the chef. The difference in cooking skills of each chef will affect the color and flavor of the food. More importantly, the cooking process is not only labor intensive, but the long-term work of the chef in an environment full of fire, smoke and oil will lead to various diseases. How to make good use of the ingredients to make the most delicious food, and let the chef liberate from the heavy and difficult working environment to become the goal pursued by the food industry.

In addition, as people's living standards continue to improve and the pace of work and life continues to accelerate, people who have been tired for a day are reluctant to drag their tired bodies to the kitchen to prepare meals.

The linkage mechanism 242 includes a feed claw cam 2421, a feed cam follower 2422, a feed cam 2423, a transmission assembly 2424, and a drive line 2425, wherein:

The inner side of the feeding claw cam 2421 is provided with a groove 24211. The trajectory of the groove 24211 is the same as the outer contour of the cam. The one end of the feeding cam follower 2422 is provided with a guiding post 24221. The guiding post 24221 is located in the groove 24211, and can be fed. The claw cam 2421 drives the up and down movement.

The other end of the feeding cam follower 2422 is fixed with a driving wire 2425, and the other end of the driving wire 2425 is connected to a T-bar (not shown) to enable the two mechanical fingers 231, 232 to grasp the cartridge 8.

The transmission assembly 2424 includes a rack mount 24241, a linkage block 24242, a rack 24243, a gear 24244, a feed pendulum 24245, and a feed link 24246, wherein:

A guide post is disposed under the linkage block 24242. The guide post is located in the recess 24231 of the feeding cam 2423 and can be moved up and down by the feeding cam 2423.
