[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a splash-proof popcorn fryer, comprising a fryer 3, with side blocks 6 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the fryer 3. A plate frame 2 is rotatably installed on one side of each side block 6 via a rotating shaft. A base 1 is fixedly installed below the plate frame 2. A driving mechanism is provided at the rear end of the fryer 3. The driving mechanism includes a back block 11, a mounting base 12, a U-shaped plate 13, a rotating plate 14, a hydraulic cylinder 15, a rotating plate 16, and a U-shaped plate 17. The back block 11 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the fryer 3, the mounting base 12 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the back block 11, the U-shaped plate 13 is fixedly installed below the mounting base 12, the rotating plate 14 is rotatably installed below the U-shaped plate 13, the hydraulic cylinder 15 is located below the rotating plate 14, the piston rod end of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 14, the rotating plate 16 is fixedly installed below the hydraulic cylinder 15, and the U-shaped plate 17 is rotatably installed below the rotating plate 16.

[0024] Driven by hydraulic cylinder 15 and in conjunction with rotating plates 14 and 16, the wok 3 tilts around the rotating shaft of side block 6, thus achieving automatic popcorn dispensing without manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, improving dispensing efficiency, and reducing the safety hazards of manual contact with the high-temperature pot body through mechanized operation, thus balancing safety and convenience.

[0025] Please see Figure 1A lid 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the wok 3. A material inlet 501 is provided at the front end of the lid 5. A cylinder 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the lid 5. A collar 8 is rotatably installed on the lower outer side of the cylinder 9. A sealing cap 7 is provided on one side of the collar 8 along the top of the lid 5.

[0026] The feeding port 501 facilitates the addition of corn kernels and the dispensing of popcorn. The sealing cap 7 can seal the feeding port 501. The presence of the sealing cap 7 and the pot lid 5 also effectively prevents popcorn from splashing during the popping process, maintaining a clean and safe operating environment.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 An arc plate 24 is provided on one side of the cover 7, and the arc plate 24 is fixedly connected to the wok 3. A fixing screw 25 is threaded on one side of the arc plate 24. One end of the fixing screw 25 passes through the arc plate 24 and contacts the cover 7. A handwheel 26 is fixedly installed on the other end of the fixing screw 25.

[0028] By rotating the handwheel 26, the position of the fixing screw 25 can be adjusted, thereby tightening or loosening the cover 7, facilitating the rotation and positioning of the cover 7, and increasing its practicality.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 A heating box 4 is fixedly installed below the wok 3. An insulation layer is provided inside the heating box 4. An electric heating tube 23 is fixedly installed inside the heating box 4. A heating plate 22 is fixedly installed on the lower end surface of the wok 3. The heating plate 22 is made of die-cast aluminum alloy.

[0030] The heating element 23 provides heat to facilitate heating of the corn kernels in the wok 3. Meanwhile, the heating plate 22 can stably and efficiently transfer heat, improving the heating efficiency of the wok 3 and increasing its practicality.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The wok 3 is equipped with a stirring mechanism, which includes a stirring rod 20 and a stirring blade 21. The stirring blade 21 is fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring rod 20. The upper end of the stirring rod 20 is rotatably connected to the pot lid 5. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 9. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 20.

[0032] The electric motor 10 enables the stirring mechanism to operate automatically without manual intervention, ensuring that the popcorn is fully heated and turned during the popping process, which is beneficial for popcorn preparation and increases its practicality.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 A base box 18 is fixedly installed below the U-shaped plate 17, and an mounting plate 19 is fixedly installed below the base box 18. The mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0034] The placement of the base box 18 and mounting plate 19 increases the stability of the drive mechanism.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the operator first puts corn kernels into the feed inlet 501, then rotates the cover 7 to seal the feed inlet 501, then rotates the handwheel 26 to make the fixing screw 25 press the cover 7 tightly, then starts the electric heating tube 23 to heat the pot 3 evenly through the heating plate 22. At the same time, the motor 10 drives the stirring rod 20 and stirring blade 21 to rotate, so that the corn kernels are heated evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pot. During the popping process, the pot lid 5 and the cover 7 effectively prevent popcorn from splashing. After processing, rotate the cover 7 to open the feed inlet 501 and fix the position of the cover 7 by the fixing screw 25. Then, by extending the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 15, the pot 3 is tilted around the rotating axis of the side block 6, and the finished popcorn is automatically poured out from the feed inlet 501, thus completing the popcorn making process.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
