Research of Quick-Return Mechanisms Using for Automatic Cooking Robot

Abstract

At present, almost all the cocking work is completed in smoke-filled kitchen, which is a time-consuming and laborious work. However, with the development of automatic and robotics technology, how to apply the relevant technology to the field of cooking has become increasingly urgent. The purpose of this paper is to apply quick-return mechanisms to automatic cooking robot, so as to obtain the realization of the movement of reversing pot. And the main three parts of the study are: the analysis of several typical quick-return mechanisms and the description of their possibility in realizing the movement of reversing pot; dynamic simulation analysis of some kinds of mechanisms, which can cover the basic requirements of the movement of reversing pot, is done so as to determine their functions in realizing the movement of reversing pot and their different characteristics; through taking the typical Sharper(quick-return swing guide) agency as an example and using Pro/E and Adams to realize the dynamic simulation and analysis, the key parameters of such bodies is selected and can provide the basis for the further study of automatic cooking robot.
