[0020] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments. Example 1

[0021] A cage-grabbing device for grabbing braising pots, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a ceiling track 1, with a first mounting frame 2 slidably connected to the lower part of the ceiling track 1. A drive motor 4 is mounted on the right side of the first mounting frame 2, and two traveling wheels 3 are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4. Two traveling wheels 3 are also rotatably connected to the left side of the first mounting frame 2. Two adjacent traveling wheels 3 form a group, and all traveling wheels 3 are slidably connected to the ceiling track 1. A drive assembly 5 is mounted in the middle of the first mounting frame 2. The drive assembly 5 includes a lifting motor and an air pump motor. A lifting motor and an air pump motor are also mounted in the middle of the first mounting frame 2. A gripping rod 6 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor. A limiting device is provided on the gripping rod 6. A gear is connected to the lower part of the gripping rod 6. Two rotating claws 7 are connected to the output shaft of the air pump motor. The rotating claws 7 are rotatably connected to the gripping rod 6 and mesh with the gear. A blood collection mechanism 8 is provided on the front side of the first mounting frame 2.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the blood collection mechanism 8 includes a first cylinder 81. The first cylinder 81 is mounted on the front side of the first mounting frame 2. A water receiving tray 83 is connected to the output shaft of the first cylinder 81. The edge of the water receiving tray 83 is a downwardly inclined slope structure. The water receiving tray 83 is driven to rotate by the first cylinder 81. A support frame 82 is also connected to the front side of the middle part of the first mounting frame 2. The support frame 82 is rotatably connected to the water receiving tray 83. A water outlet 84 is opened on the water receiving tray 83.

[0023] It should be noted that a braising pot is a large container used for cooking braised foods, typically in the food processing or catering industries. Ingredients are placed in a braising liquid for a long time to simmer, allowing them to fully absorb the flavors and develop a unique taste. During the braising process, a cage grabber is usually used to grab, move, and place the food cages. Initially, the grabber is controlled by a pre-programmed PLC and is in a standby position, awaiting system commands. When a cage containing raw materials is detected in place, the drive motor 4 starts. Drive motor 4 has a power of 1.5 kW and a moving speed of 0.5 m / s. Drive motor 4 drives the traveling wheels 3 to move on the overhead track 1, thus moving the grabber directly above the cage. Then, the water receiving tray 83 automatically triggers the first cylinder 81, which rotates the water receiving tray 83 180 degrees. The water receiving tray 83 is made of 304 stainless steel. Afterward, the lifting motor starts. The lifting motor, with a power of 5kW, drives the grab bar 6, made of 304 stainless steel, to extend downwards. The lifting height is 6m. After the grab bar 6 extends to its position, it triggers the air pump motor (1.6kW), which drives the rotating claw 7, also made of 304 stainless steel, to rotate out and grab the cage. The cage and raw materials weigh 2 tons. The grab bar 6 then retracts to its original position, and the water receiving tray 83 rotates 180 degrees to its original position. The water receiving tray 83 collects the dripping blood. Then the cage grabber... The cage automatically moves to the top of the braising tank opening on the overhead rail 1. The water collection tray 83 rotates 180 degrees again, and then the grab bar 6 extends downward to put the cage into the braising tank. After the cage is in place, the rotating claw 7 rotates to reset, the grab bar 6 resets and retracts, and the water collection tray 83 also rotates to reset. Then the cage grabber moves to the standby position on the overhead rail 1 to wait for the next command. The blood water in the water collection tray 83 can be discharged out through the water outlet 84 to avoid excessive blood water splashing and contaminating the braising process, and to keep the working environment clean. Example 2

[0024] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 9, which includes a second mounting bracket 91. The second mounting bracket 91 is connected to the lower left side of the first mounting bracket 2. A second cylinder 92 is installed at the lower part of the second mounting bracket 91. A stabilizing element 93 is connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 92. The right side of the stabilizing element 93 is an arc-shaped structure that fits the gripping rod 6. The stabilizing element 93 plays a stabilizing role for the gripping rod 6.

[0025] It should be noted that, in order to enhance the stability of the cage grabber during operation, the second cylinder 92 can be activated. The extension end of the second cylinder 92 drives the stabilizing component 93 to provide stable support for the grabbing rod 6. This helps to increase the fulcrum during the lifting and moving process, prevent the cage from shaking or falling, thereby improving the stability of the braising process and ensuring the safety of the braising food production and processing.

[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
