A plurality of baskets are placed on the shelf 11. Pre-prepared cooking materials are placed in the baskets. The cooking materials can be noodles, dumplings, wontons, spring rolls, scallion pancakes, crispy pork and other foods that need to be boiled or fried before being eaten. The first conveying device can take the baskets at the corresponding positions on the shelf 11 and transport them to the outside of the refrigerator 1.
[0037] The first conveying device includes two horizontally arranged first linear modules 12 and a vertically arranged second linear module 13. The two first linear modules 12 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the refrigerator 1. The two ends of the second linear module 13 are respectively fixed on the slides of the two first linear modules 12, so that the second linear module 13 can move horizontally driven by the two first linear modules 12. A first clamping device 14 is arranged on the slide of the second linear module 13. The first clamping device 14 can move up and down driven by the second linear module 13. By setting the first linear module 12 and the second linear module 13, the first clamping device 14 can be moved to any position of the shelf 11, so as to clamp the basket placed on the shelf 11.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping device includes a support frame 141, a finger cylinder 142 and a clamping arm 143. The clamping arm 143 is provided with two, which are respectively fixedly connected to the two clamping claws of the finger cylinder 142. The finger cylinder 142 is fixed on the support frame 141. The support frame 141 is L-shaped, and the two sides of the bottom thereof are connected with slide rails 144 through sliders. The slide rails 144 are arranged on the upper surface of the mounting platform 145, and one end of the mounting platform 145 is fixedly connected to the slide table of the second linear module 13.
