[0030] The working principle of the self-balancing universal manipulator provided by the invention is as follows:

[0031] The first step: through the structure of the slide rail 2, the rodless cylinder 5 provides power for the manipulator to move up and down, without any live structure, which solves the problem of easy leakage of electricity after long-term use due to humidity at the slaughtering site. At the same time, the rodless cylinder 5 is small in size, light in weight, easy to operate, and saves working space. The universal manipulator is designed according to the shape of the pig carcass fat, has strong gripping power, and can pull and unload fat cleanly. The integrated operating handle 4 is designed according to the human body structure, is simple and easy to operate, fits the palm comfortably, and improves work efficiency, so that it can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce labor intensity on the pig carcass slaughtering line;

[0032] Step 2: Open the sealing cover on the feed pipe, and then pour the disinfectant into the disinfection box 8 through the feed pipe, and then cover the sealing cover, and then start the water pump 12 to operate, and the disinfectant water in the disinfection box 8 can be pumped out through the liquid extraction pipe 13, and then discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 14. The disinfectant water can be discharged into the connecting pipe 18 and then discharged into the hose 20 through the connecting pipe 18. Then, the valve 22 is opened to spray the disinfectant water through the nozzle 21, so that it can be used to disinfect the universal pneumatic manipulator 6, thereby facilitating the later work of the universal pneumatic manipulator 6. In order to avoid the precipitation of the disinfectant water in the disinfection box 8 and the reduction of the effect of the disinfectant water, the motor 9 can be driven to operate regularly, so that the stirring rod 10 can be driven to rotate through the output shaft of the driving motor 9, and then the stirring rod 10 can be driven to drive multiple stirring blades 11 to rotate, so that the disinfectant water in the disinfection box 8 can be stirred, thereby avoiding the precipitation of the disinfectant water in the disinfection box 8 and the reduction of the disinfection effect. When the water level in the disinfection box 8 drops too low, it can be sensed by the second photoelectric liquid level sensor, and the result can be transmitted to the PLC controller, so that the alarm can be started through the PLC controller to remind employees to add water.
