Next, the operation of the frying device having the above configuration will be explained. First, put cooking oil into the pot 10,
is placed on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 4 of the main body 1. Next, the push button 18 of the cylindrical portion 12 of the heater unit 9 is pressed to insert the cylindrical portion 12 from above the slide hole 7 of the main body 1. Next, when the push button 18 is released and the cylinder part 12 is pushed down a little inside the slide hole 7, the lever 16 of the cylinder part 12 is inserted into the recess 8 inside the slide hole 7.
The tip of the heater unit 9 is engaged by a spring 17, and the cylindrical portion 12 of the heater unit 9 is locked in the upper part of the slide hole 7 before the heater 11 enters the cooking oil in the pot 10. When the push button 18 is pressed again in this locked state, the lever 16 rotates about the fulcrum 15 against the spring 17 in the direction of being pulled in from the opening 14, and the engagement with the recess 8 is released. be done. In this state, the cylindrical part 13 in the slide hole 7 is pushed down a little, and then the push button 18 is released and the cylindrical part 12 in the slide hole 7 is pushed down. At this time, the lever 16 protrudes from the opening 14 due to the spring 17, so
The inner wall of the slide hole 7 and the lever 16 come into contact to generate a braking force, allowing the heater 11 to be gradually introduced into the pot 10. When the cylindrical part 12 is inserted to the bottom of the slide hole 7, the power terminal 2 inside the main body 1
Then, the power supply connection terminal 13 of the cylindrical part 12 is connected, and when the power switch 3 is closed, the heater 11 is energized,
The edible oil in the pot 10 is heated by the heater 11 to reach a high temperature. Fried food is fried using this hot edible oil, and when the cooking is finished, the power switch 3 is opened to shut off the electricity. Next, without pressing the push button 18, insert the cylindrical portion 1 of the heater unit 9 in the slide hole 7.
When you pull up lever 16, the lever 16
The heater 11 can be gradually pulled out from the pot 10 by the braking force caused by the contact with the inner wall of the slide hole 7.

The cooking oil adhering to 1 is removed. After draining the oil, the cooking oil in the pot 10 is transferred to another container and stored.

Next, by pushing the push button 18 of the cylindrical portion 12 of the heater unit 9 and pulling up the heater unit 9, the heater unit 9 can be pulled out from the slide hole 7.

In this way, the heater unit 9 can be locked at the top of the slide hole 7 before the heater 11 enters the cooking oil in the pot 10, and in this locked state, push the push button 18 and slide it. After slightly lowering the cylindrical portion 12 in the hole 7, when the push button 18 is released, the spring 17 causes the lever 16 to protrude from the opening 14 and come into contact with the inner wall of the slide hole 7, and the braking force causes the heater 11 to move into the pot. Since the heater 11 can be poured gradually into the cooking oil in the pot 10, it is possible to prevent the cooking oil from scattering due to the heater 11 being thrown into the cooking oil in the pot 10 with force, thereby preventing the main body 1 and the table top from being splashed. Prevents contamination and the risk of burns. Furthermore, since the heater unit 9 can be locked at the top of the slide hole 7 and the heater 11 can be fixed above the pot 10, when the heater 11 is pulled out of the cooking oil in the pot 10 after cooking, the heater There is also the advantage that cooking oil adhering to the surface of the plate 11 can be removed.

In the above embodiment, the lever 16 for engagement and the push button 18 for releasing the engagement are located in the cylindrical portion 12 of the heater unit 9, and the recess 8 that engages with the lever 16 is located in the slide hole 7 of the main body 1. Although the lever is in the main body and the recess is in the cylindrical part of the heater unit, the same effect can be obtained.

Further, the same effect can be obtained even if a push button for releasing the engagement is provided on the main body.

Furthermore, the same effect can be expected even if the locking means is other than the lever and the recess. For example, the recess 8 of the slide hole 7 may be eliminated and the tip of the lever 16 may be locked to one end of the upper surface of the slide hole 7.

As described above, according to the present invention, a heater unit having a heater to be put into the pot is attached to the main body on which the pot is placed so as to be slidable up and down and detachable, and the heater unit has a heater unit installed above the pot. Since the heater is provided with a stopper that is automatically locked when the power is cut off, there is no possibility that the heater will be thrown into the cooking oil in the pot when the heater unit is inserted into the slide hole. gone,
As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the cooking oil from scattering, which eliminates the problem of staining the main body or tabletop or causing burns.

Furthermore, since the heater unit can be held above the pot in a state where the heater is automatically turned off, the cooking oil or the like attached to the heater can be heated and the oil can be drained without emitting white smoke. Moreover, since the heater unit can be completely removed from the main body for cleaning, the cord (thin wire) does not get in the way and can be thoroughly cleaned.
