[0060] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a concave vertical recovery guide groove 1101 is provided at the lower end of the side wall of one end of the inner insulation board 11 close to the spice rack 10, the lower end of the recovery guide groove 1101 is a deepened concave structure, and a reflux hole 1103 passes through the bottom of the other side, the end of the seasoning addition tube 1002 in a hidden state is located at the recovery guide groove 1101, and the recovery guide groove 1101 collects the seasoning liquid remaining in the seasoning addition tube 1002; a dirty oil collection tray 1102 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the inner insulation board 11, and the dirty oil collection tray 1102 is used to collect the dirty oil on the inner wall of the inner insulation board 11 and the seasoning liquid in the reflux hole 1103, which can effectively keep the cooking environment clean.

[0061] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0062] The cooking robot is based on a stove 1, on which a pot 6 is placed for cooking operations. On the back side of the stove 1 where the pot 6 is located, an inverted L-shaped lifting hanger 4 is fixedly installed vertically upward. A lifting cylinder 403 is installed on the back of the lifting hanger 4, which is connected to the smoke hood 5 through a horizontal connecting rod 404. The lower end of the smoke hood 5 is designed as a transparent pot cover 501 that fits the pot 6, effectively closing the pot mouth to prevent the oil smoke from leaking out. The smoke hood 5 is equipped with a fan 505, which exhausts the oil smoke through the exhaust pipe 503. At the same time, an odor sensor 504 is installed on the exhaust pipe 503 to monitor the smell of the oil smoke in real time and provide feedback for the cooking process.

[0063] On one side of the pot 6, a manipulator 3 is fixedly installed on the stove 1 for placing food ingredients and operating the pot. A trigger paddle 301 and an angle limit switch 302 are installed on the bottom turntable of the manipulator 3, which are connected to the integrated processor 2 and the rotary motor 9. When the manipulator 3 rotates to a specific angle, the trigger paddle 301 triggers the angle limit switch 302, thereby controlling the rotary motor 9 to drive the guard plate 8 to rotate on the ring track 7. The guard plate 8 is slidably connected to the pressure groove 701 on the inner wall of the ring track 7 through the pressure plate 801 at its lower end, ensuring the stability and flexibility of the guard plate 8. The design of the guard plate 8 not only protects the front side of the stove 1 to prevent oil stains from splashing and injuring people during cooking, but also provides necessary protection when the manipulator 3 is operating.

[0064] The spice rack 10 is installed on the inner side of the upper end of the guard plate 8, and each spice rack 10 is equipped with a spice tank 1001 and a spice adding tube 1002. The spice adding tube 1002 is equipped with a flow control valve 1005 for accurately controlling the amount of spice added. When it is necessary to add spice, the integrated processor 2 will instruct the corresponding push cylinder 1006 to extend, push the push block 1004 to slide in the extension guide frame 1003, and then drive the flow control valve 1005 and the spice adding tube 1002 to move downward to the top of the pot 6 to release a certain amount of spice. After adding, the push cylinder 1006 is reset, and the spice adding tube 1002 is hidden again between the inner insulation board 11 and the guard plate 8 to avoid external contamination.

[0065] The design of the inner heat insulation board 11 not only isolates the heat transfer between the spice rack 10 and the pot 6, but also collects the spice residue and dirty oil through the recovery guide groove 1101 and the dirty oil collection tray 1102 at its lower end, so as to keep the cooking environment clean. At the same time, the drainage hole 101 on the inner side of the ring rail 7 is also convenient for draining the dirty oil and sewage around the stove body, further improving the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0066] During the cooking process, the visual camera 402 collects the color information of the food in the pot 6 in real time and transmits it to the integrated processor 2 for processing. The integrated processor 2 accurately controls the operation of the manipulator 3, the addition of seasonings, and the adjustment of the heat according to the preset cooking program and the real-time feedback data to ensure that the taste and color of the food reach the expected effect.
