[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating mechanism includes an electric heating tube 9 fixedly installed in the tank 6. A temperature sensor 10 and a temperature controller 11 are fixedly installed on the electric heating tube 9. The temperature sensor 10 and the temperature controller 11 are electrically connected to the electric heating tube 9. The heating temperature is set by the temperature controller 11 to control the operation of the electric heating tube 9. The temperature sensor 10 monitors the temperature of the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 in real time to ensure that the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 are at a suitable heating temperature.
[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the electric heating tube 9 is arranged in a continuously bent curved structure. A heat-conducting plate 12 is fixedly installed above the electric heating tube 9. The heat-conducting plate 12 is made of copper and has good thermal conductivity. The bottom of the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 installed in the tank 6 is in contact with the heat-conducting plate 12 to ensure that the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 are heated evenly.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the upper baking tray positioning mechanism includes positioning grooves 13 on both sides of the upper shell 1 of the machine body, and insert blocks 14 fixedly installed on both sides of the lower part of the upper baking tray 7.

The positioning components on the same side correspond to the positions of the positioning grooves 13. When the upper baking tray 7 is replaced, the upper baking tray 7 can be quickly and stably fixed in the groove 6 of the upper shell 1 of the machine body.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning assembly includes an insertion hole 15 opened on the side of the positioning groove 13. An insertion rod 16 is slidably connected in the insertion hole 15. A pull handle 17 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the insertion rod 16.

One end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1 of the machine body, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the pull handle 17. A positioning hole 19 is opened on the insertion block 14. The corresponding insertion rod 16 is adapted to the positioning hole 19, which is convenient for the user to operate.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, limit components are respectively provided on both sides of the upper shell 1 of the machine body. The corresponding limit components are adapted to the positioning components. The limit components include a hinge seat 20 fixedly installed on the upper shell 1 of the machine body. A stop 21 is hinged to the hinge seat 20. A groove 22 is provided on the stop 21. Through the structural setting of the limit components, it is convenient to limit the corresponding pull handle 17.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, limit holes 23 are respectively opened at the four upper corners of the lower shell 2 of the machine body, and multiple insertion posts 24 are provided below the lower baking tray 8. The corresponding limit holes 23 and insertion posts 24 are inserted into each other, so as to facilitate the stable installation of the lower baking tray 8 in the lower shell 2 of the machine body.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tray removal mechanism includes a set of tray grooves 25, in which a hinge frame 26 is hinged. A lifting frame 27 is fixedly installed on the hinge frame 26. The lifting frame 27 is T-shaped. This structure facilitates the removal of the upper baking tray 7 and the lower baking tray 8 from their corresponding slots 6, thereby allowing the replacement of the upper baking tray 7 and the lower baking tray 8 in different baking cavities.
[0030] Working principle: When the user uses the sandwich maker, Through the structural design of the heating mechanism, the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 can be heated, thereby heating the food placed in the baking cavities of the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8. The heating temperature is set by the temperature controller 11, which controls the operation of the electric heating tube 9. The temperature sensor 10 monitors the temperature of the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 in real time, so that the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 are at a suitable heating temperature. A heat-conducting plate 12 is fixedly installed above the electric heating tube 9. The bottom of the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 installed in the tank 6 is in contact with the heat-conducting plate 12, ensuring that the upper baking pan 7 and the lower baking pan 8 are heated evenly. When the user replaces the upper baking tray 7 with the lower baking tray 8; When the upper baking tray 7 is replaced, the upper baking tray positioning mechanism, in conjunction with the limiting component, can quickly and stably fix the upper baking tray 7 in the groove 6 of the upper shell 1. The insert block 14 below the upper baking tray 7 is positioned in the positioning groove 13 of the upper shell 1. By pulling the handle 17 outward, the corresponding insert rod 16 slides in the insertion hole 15, causing the insert rod 16 to disengage from the positioning hole 19 on the corresponding insert block 14. The spring 18 on the outside of the insert rod 16 deforms, at which point the abutment 21 on the corresponding hinge 20 is moved, so that the end of the abutment 21 fits against the handle 17, thereby supporting the handle 17 and causing the corresponding insert rod 16 to completely disengage from the positioning hole 19. Then, using the plate lifting mechanism on the upper baking tray 7, the user rotates the hinge 26 in the tray groove 25 to make the lifting frame 27 upright, and then lifts the two lifting frames 27 upwards at the same time to detach the upper baking tray 7 from the groove 6 of the upper shell 1, thereby removing the upper baking tray 7. Then, the replacement upper baking tray 7 is placed in the groove 6 of the upper shell 1, and the above operation is repeated in reverse. When the user replaces the lower baking tray 8, the user rotates the hinge 26 in the tray groove 25 using the tray-pulling mechanism of the lower baking tray 8, causing the lifting frame 27 to stand upright. Then, the user simultaneously pulls both lifting frames 27 upwards. At this time, the limiting hole 23 on the upper part of the lower shell 2 disengages from the corresponding insertion post 24 below the lower baking tray 8. Then, the replacement lower baking tray 8 is placed in the groove 6 of the lower shell 2. Under the action of gravity, the insertion post 24 below the lower baking tray 8 engages with the corresponding limiting hole 23, thus replacing the lower baking tray 8.
