[0032] The following describes a one-time use process of the application in combination with the drawings:

[0033] The driving motor 7 is started to drive the driving shaft 9 to make a rotary movement through the shaft coupling 8, drive the first swing rod 11 to make a rotary movement with the driving shaft 9 as the center, and drive the first shaft rod 12 to make a circular movement through the first swing rod 11. At this time, the second swing rod 13 and the second shaft rod 14 also make a circular movement synchronously.

[0034] During the circular movement of the first shaft rod 12, the horizontal component of the moving distance of the first shaft rod 12 can be offset in the horizontal sliding groove plate 19, and the vertical component of the moving distance of the first shaft rod 12 directly acts on the vertical moving frame 17 and drives the vertical moving frame 17 to move up and down.

[0035] During the up and down movement of the vertical moving frame 17, the vertical transmission plate 24 moves synchronously with the vertical moving frame 17, and since the vertical transmission plate 24 can only move along the vertical guide rail 22 through the wheeled sliding block 23, the vertical moving frame 17 can also only move along the vertical guide rail 22.

[0036] During the circular movement of the second shaft rod 14, the vertical component of the moving distance of the second shaft rod 14 can be offset in the vertical slot hole 31, and the horizontal component of the moving distance of the second shaft rod 14 directly acts on the horizontal moving plate 27 and drives the horizontal moving plate 27 to move left and right.

[0037] During the left and right movement of the horizontal moving plate 27, since the third roller 29 and the fourth roller 30 can only move along the first horizontal guide slide rail 25 and the second horizontal guide slide rail 26, the horizontal moving plate 27 can also only move along the first horizontal guide slide rail 25 and the second horizontal guide slide rail 26.

[0038] Since the horizontal moving plate 27 also moves up and down synchronously with the vertical moving frame 17, through the superposition of the motions, the actual motion track of the horizontal moving plate 27 relative to the stationary bottom plate 3 is an ellipse, and further the motion track of the pot handle adapter 28 is also an ellipse, since the wok 1 is directly fixed on the pot handle adapter 28, thus the elliptical track of the wok 1 is realized.

[0039] In order to make the elliptical track more in line with the wok flipping track of the chef, the lengths of the first swing rod 11 and the second swing rod 13 can be adjusted, and thus the adjustment of the elliptical track is realized.

[0040] The scheme in the embodiment is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent implementation or change without departing from the present application is included in the protection scope of the present application.
