[0043] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an electric fryer described in the present invention comprises a cover body 1, a body 2, a pot body 3 and an oil receiving pan 4, wherein the pot body 3 and the oil receiving pan 4 are respectively mounted on the body 2, the oil receiving pan 4 is used to receive frying oil discharged from the pot body 3, the cover body 1 is mounted on the pot body 3, wherein an oil draining assembly 5 is disposed at the bottom surface of the pot body 3, and a switch function assembly 6 for driving the oil draining assembly 5 to implement an on or off state is disposed below the oil draining assembly 5.

[0045] This structure combines the oil drain assembly 5 and the driving oil drain assembly 6 to enable the oil drain assembly 5 to be rotated to open or close, and separates the locking function of the oil receiving pan 4 from the operating function, thereby reducing complex operating steps and further simplifying the operating mode.

[0046] The machine body 2 is also provided with a heating tube, which can heat the oil in the pot body 3 to implement the frying process; during the initial heating process, the cover body 1 covers the pot body 3 to reduce temperature loss, and the heating tube is connected to a power source, and the power source supplies power to the heating tube.

[0047] After the frying work is completed, the switch function component 6 is used to drive the oil drain component 5 to rotate and open, so that the frying oil in the pot body 3 is discharged from the oil drain component 5. The oil receiving pan 4 has the function of recovering oil. The oil drain component 5 is also provided with a filter to prevent the oil residue from directly entering the oil extraction group 5 and causing blockage. In addition, the switch function component 6 is easy to operate. It only needs to toggle the switch function component 6 left and right to open or close the oil drain component 5. At this time, the operation does not affect the fixing problem of the oil receiving pan 4, which solves the problem that the existing structure is easy to operate incorrectly and the oil receiving pan 4 is easy to fall out, thereby improving the overall reliability.

[0048] The following technical solution further explains the switch function component 6 and the oil drain component 5 , so that technicians can more easily understand the connection relationship between the switch function component 6 and the oil drain component 5 .

[0049] 1. The structure of the oil discharge assembly 5 is as follows:

[0050] The oil drain assembly 5 includes an oil drain seat 501, an oil drain hole 502, an oil drain rotating shaft 505, a second rotating plate 506 and a driving plate 507. The oil drain hole 502 is located on the oil drain seat 501, the second rotating plate 506 and the driving plate 507 are placed in the oil drain seat 501 in sequence, the oil drain rotating shaft 505 is connected to the driving plate 507, one end of the oil drain rotating shaft 505 is placed on the second rotating plate 506, the second rotating plate 506 and the driving plate 507 are respectively provided with auxiliary through holes 510, and the bottom surface of the driving plate 507 is provided with an embedded recess 509.

[0051] The oil discharge rotating shaft 505 and the driving plate 507 are preferably formed in one piece in this embodiment, and the second rotating plate 506 and the driving plate 507 rotate synchronously via the oil discharge rotating shaft 505 .

[0052] In the open state, the auxiliary through hole 510 and the oil drain hole 502 are in communication with each other, so that the oil can be discharged and flow into the oil receiving pan 4. In addition, a first return spring 508 is installed on the driving plate 507, and the first return spring 508 is connected to the inner wall of the oil drain seat 501. In the absence of external force, the first return spring 508 drives the second rotating plate 506 and the driving plate 507 to return synchronously, and implements the oil circuit closed state.

[0053] Furthermore, the oil drain seat 501 is provided with a first seal 503 and a second seal 504, the first seal 503 is located inside the second seal 504, and the first seal 503 and the second seal 504 are respectively pressed against the bottom surface of the pot body 3. The combination of the first seal 503 and the second seal 504 further makes the connection between the oil drain assembly 5 and the pot body 3 more compact, and prevents oil leakage.

[0054] 2. The structure of the switch function component 6 is as follows:

[0055] The switch function component 6 includes a drive shaft 601, an insertion shaft 602, a second return spring 603 and a drive turntable 604; the drive shaft 601 is connected to the middle position of the drive turntable 604, the insertion shaft 602 is located at the bottom surface of the drive turntable 604, the second return spring 603 is sleeved on the drive shaft 601, and the lower end of the drive shaft 601 passes through the mounting seat 9 and extends outside the mounting seat 9; the drive shaft 601 can be placed on the drive plate 507, so that when the drive turntable 604 rotates, the drive shaft 601 pushes the drive plate 507 to rotate, thereby implementing the open state.

[0056] The preferred structure is that the drive shaft 601 and the drive turntable 604 are integrated to improve the overall transmission reliability. In addition, the second return spring 603 can separate the drive shaft 601 from the drive plate 507 .

[0057] The machine body 2 is provided with a mounting seat 9; a second limiting groove 902 is provided at the bottom surface of the mounting seat 9, and the insertion shaft 602 is placed in the second limiting groove 902; a moving member 402 is provided on the upper surface of the oil receiving pan 4, and a pushing buckle 403 and a pushing shaft convex portion 401 are respectively provided at the front and rear of the moving member 402.

When the oil receiving pan 4 is not inserted into the machine body 2, the pushing shaft convex portion 401 cannot push the driving shaft 601 to move up and down, so that the upper end of the driving shaft 601 is separated from the embedded recess 509, and the driving shaft 601 is separated from the driving plate 507.

[0058] When oil recovery is required, the oil receiving pan 4 is inserted into the machine body 2, and the push shaft protrusion 401 of the oil receiving pan 4 is pressed against the lower end of the drive shaft 601, so that the upper end of the drive shaft 601 is placed in the embedded recess 509, which is convenient for driving the turntable 604 to drive and implement the opening or closing of the oil discharge assembly 5.

[0059] When the push shaft protrusion 401 pushes the driving shaft 601, the driving shaft 601 drives the driving turntable 604 to move upward, so that the insertion shaft 602 leaves the second limiting groove 902, and the driving turntable 604 is unlocked, so that the driving turntable 604 can rotate. On the contrary, the insertion shaft 602 is inserted into the second limiting groove 902, so that the driving turntable 604 cannot rotate.

[0060] A guide groove 201 and a dial key 8 are provided on the front surface of the body 2. One end of the dial key 8 is connected to a swing arm 801, which is inserted into the guide groove 201 and extends into the body 1. The dial key 8 drives the turntable 604 to rotate through the swing arm 801. When the oil tray 4 is not inserted into the body 1, the dial key 8 cannot swing.

[0061] The swing arm 801 is connected to the driving turntable 604 via a rotating member 10. The rotating member 10 plays a role of transmission, making the swing angle wider.

[0062] The rotating member 10 of the present invention is provided with a first transmission arm 1001, a second transmission arm 1002 and a limiting rod 1003; the first transmission arm 1001 is movably connected to the swing arm 801, and the second transmission arm 1002 is movably connected to the swing arm 801, so as to facilitate the connection between the switch function component 6 and the swing arm 801, and to promote the rotation of the switch function component 6. In addition, the bottom surface of the mounting seat 9 is respectively provided with a first limiting groove 901, one end of the limiting rod 1003 is placed in the first limiting groove 901, and the mounting seat 9 is provided with a mounting plate 11. The first limiting groove 901 is used to limit the travel of the first transmission arm 1001, and to prevent it from getting stuck.

[0063] Furthermore, a stopper 202 is provided in the machine body 2. The oil receiving pan 4 is inserted into the machine body 2, and the stopper 202 is used to push the push buckle 403 of the oil receiving pan 4 to move the moving member 402, so that the push shaft convex portion 401 is pressed against the driving shaft 601, so that the driving shaft 601 is displaced upward.

[0064] The oil receiving pan 4 of the present invention is provided with a positioning seat 405, and a positioning protrusion 404 is provided at the top of the positioning seat 405. The oil receiving pan 4 is provided with a positioning buckle 406, and the oil receiving pan 4 and the positioning buckle 406 are connected by a fourth return spring 408, which further locks the position of the oil receiving pan 4 and prevents it from loosening at will.
