[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-2As shown, a tabletop fryer includes a base 1, an electrical control box 2, and a support member 3. The top of the base 1 has an upward-opening oil tank 11. The electrical control box 2 is hinged to the top of the base 1, and the hinge axis between the two is a first axis. A heating element 4 is connected to the front side wall of the electrical control box 2. The upper end of the support member 3 is hinged to the electrical control box 2, and the hinge axis between the two is a second axis. The first axis and the second axis are parallel, and the second axis is located between the first axis and the heating element 4. The electrical control box 2 has a working state and a cleaning state. Under normal conditions, the electrical control box 2 is in the working state. At this time, the electrical control box 2 abuts against the upper side wall of the base 1, the heating element 4 extends into the oil tank 11, and the support member 3 abuts against the upper side wall of the base 1 horizontally or nearly horizontally. Box 2 can be powered to heat the heating element 4, thereby heating the cooking oil in the oil tank 11 so that the user can fry the food. When the user needs to clean the heating element 4 and the bottom wall of the oil tank 11, simply swing the control box 2 so that it swings around the first axis, lifting the heating element 4 away from the oil tank 11. At this time, the lower end of the support 3 will swing around the second axis under its own weight to the lower end of its upper end and abut against the upper side wall of the base 1 to support the control box 2 to keep it in the cleaning state, thus placing the heating element 4 above the oil tank 11, preventing the heating element 4 from obstructing the user from cleaning the bottom wall of the oil tank 11. The user can directly clean the lower side wall of the heating element 4 and the bottom wall of the oil tank 11, reducing the cleaning difficulty of both.

[0024] Specifically, the electrical control box 2 is equipped with a control main board (not shown in the attached figure) that is electrically connected to the heating tube 4. The control main board is connected to an external power source through a wire to control the heating tube 4 to generate heat. The electrical control box 2 can be purchased through market channels and will not be described in this embodiment.

[0025] Furthermore, the support member 3 is a U-shaped strip structure, with its two ends hinged to the left and right side walls of the control box 2 respectively. When the control box 2 is in use, the support member 3 will be horizontal or nearly horizontal against the upper side wall of the base 1 and located in front of the control box 2. When the control box 2 is in the cleaning state, the center line of the support member 3 is perpendicular to the upper side wall of the base 1, and the middle part of the support member 3 abuts against the upper side wall of the base 1 to support the control box 2 to maintain an upward-tilted and suspended state, so that the heating tube 4 fixing bracket is placed above the oil tank 11 for the user to clean.

[0026] Furthermore, the middle part of the support member 3 is bent towards its end to form a limiting part 31. When the control box 2 is in the cleaning state, the limiting part 31 will abut against the lower side wall of the control box 2 to limit the further swing of the support member 3 through the lower side wall of the control box 2, assist the support member 3 in positioning to a vertical state, and reduce the difficulty for the user to switch the control box 2 from the use state to the cleaning state.

[0027] Furthermore, two hinge seats 5 are symmetrically arranged on the upper side wall of the base 1, and the electrical control box 2 is located between the two hinge seats 5. The left and right side walls of the rear half of the electrical control box 2 are respectively hinged to the corresponding hinge seats 5, and the hinge axis between the electrical control box 2 and the hinge seats 5 is the first axis.

[0028] Specifically, the front half of the control box 2 refers to the end of the control box 2 facing the user's operation of the tabletop fryer when the control box 2 is in use, while the rear half is the opposite.

[0029] Furthermore, a pad 6 is provided on the lower side wall of the front half of the electrical control box 2. When the electrical control box 2 is in use, the pad 6 abuts against the upper side wall of the base 1 so that the electrical control box 2 can be supported by the hinge seat 5 and the pad 6 together in use, avoiding direct contact between the lower side wall of the electrical control box 2 and the upper side wall of the base 1, reducing the wear of the electrical control box 2 and extending its service life.

[0030] Furthermore, a control switch 7 is provided on the upper side wall of the electrical control box 2. The control switch 7 is electrically connected to the heating tube 4 through the control main board inside the electrical control box 2, and is used to control the start and stop of the heating tube 4 and / or the heating power.

[0031] Furthermore, an L-shaped operating lever 8 is vertically connected to the left or right side wall of the control box 2. The user can control the control box 2 to swing around the first axis through the operating lever 8, thereby switching the control box 2 between the use state and the cleaning state, improving the convenience of operation.

[0032] Furthermore, a hanging rod 9 is provided on the front side of the electric control box 2 along its length. Both ends of the hanging rod 9 are bent toward the electric control box 2 and fixedly connected to the front side wall of the electric control box 2. When the user uses the frying basket to fry food, the hook at the end of the frying basket can be hooked with the hanging rod 9 so that the frying basket and the heating tube 4 are fixedly suspended in the oil tank 11 at intervals.

[0033] Specifically, the front wall of the control box 2 refers to the side wall of the control box 2 facing the user's operating tabletop fryer when the control box 2 is in use.
