Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an electric heater equipped with a magnetic connection plug, such as an electric heating pot or an electric cooker such as an electric fryer, and its purpose is to:
By using the magnetic adsorption force of the magnet of the magnetic connection plug, the plug is attracted and held on the electric heater itself when not in use, eliminating the loss of powder from the plug, making it convenient to use, and increasing the product value. It is on offer.

Connecting plugs equipped with magnets that are attracted to the plug receiving portions made of iron pieces of electric heaters have been known in the past, but there has never been one in which the connecting plugs with magnets are housed in the main body of the device when not in use. If the exterior case of the electric heater is made of a magnetic material such as iron, it is possible to attract and hold the magnet of the connection plug to the exterior case. However, in that case, the plug The weight of the power cord connected to the device may cause it to slip down, and since the connection plug protrudes horizontally from the outer case by the length of the connection plug, it may get caught on an obstacle and fall off, causing it to be stored in the main body of the device. It was difficult to do so. Therefore, the magnetic connection plug is usually removed from the electric heater and stored in a separate location from the electric heater when not in use. Therefore, when using the powder, there was a risk of forgetting where it was kept and having trouble finding it, or in some cases, losing the powder. Even if this was not the case, it was still inconvenient to take up storage space on a table or the like.
