Abstract: A discharging mechanism for automatic cooking device, an automatic cooking device and an automatic cooking method. In the automatic cooking device, a conveyer belt, a discharging mechanism, a cooking component and other operation units are arranged compactly to significantly reduce floor space. A feed toggle device in the discharging mechanism picks ingredient boxes on the conveyer belt and pushes the ingredient boxes to storage platforms. A feed grip device in the discharging mechanism picks an ingredient box on the storage platform and rotates to move the ingredient box over a cooking pot, thereby pouring the ingredient into the cooking pot. Further, the feed grip device rotates the empty ingredient box over a garbage bag hanging ring and enables the ingredient box to fall into a garbage bag. All units in this automatic cooking device are compactly arranged to save space and cover small area, particularly suitable for small kitchens.
