The heating element 6 is located at the bottom of the food plate 3, and the heating cover module 7 is located at the top of the food plate 3.

[0029] Among them, the electronic control module 2 is used to control the coordinated operation between various modules. The electronic control module 2 controls the food inlet module 4, and then places the food to be heated on the food plate 3. Then, the electronic control module 2 can control the heating cover module 7 to close, and at the same time start the heating element 6 to microwave the food on the food plate 3. After heating is completed, the electronic control module 2 controls the heating cover module 7 to open, and at the same time opens the food outlet module 5. Then, it controls the electronically controlled food outlet module 8 to push out the food.
