The shape is not limited, and various shapes are possible to allow the cooking oil to pass through the space in the main net portion 132. That is, the pressing network 136 includes a plurality of divided spaces partitioned by the divided network portion 134 so as to cover one row.

As shown in Fig. 3, the compartment space formed in the partition net portion 134 is formed with a width W at which the food can stand. This allows the whole food to flow into the cooking oil, thereby uniformly splashing the whole food. In addition, it is possible to reduce the contact area between the pushing portion 136 and the food to prevent floating of the food.

Although the pushing portion 136 is hingedly connected to the main portion 132 in the present embodiment, the pushing portion 136 may be formed as a plate-like net that is formed separately from the main portion 132 and covers the upper portion of the main portion 132 have.

The frying net 130 is introduced into or withdrawn from the oil tank 112 by the lifting portion 140 provided in the housing 110. The lifting unit 140 includes a support bracket 142 that is vertically movable in the housing 110 and is connected to the fryer 130 and a cylinder 144 that moves the support bracket 142 up and down.

At this time, the fryer 130 is provided with a connecting portion 132a which can be detachably attached to the supporting bracket 142. The connection portion 132a is formed on one side of the fryer 130 and the support bracket 142 is formed with a locking groove 143 into which the connection portion 132a is inserted. Accordingly, when the support bracket 142 is raised or lowered by the operation of the cylinder 144, the frying net portion 130 is also raised or lowered.

The frying net 130 is provided with a carrying knob 132b. The carrying knob 132b is formed at a portion that is symmetrical with the connecting portion 132a of the frying net portion 130. [

The lifting unit 140 is controlled by a control unit 114 provided in the housing 110. That is, the controller 114 can control the temperature of the cooking oil stored in the oil vat 112 by controlling the heater unit 120, and can also control the elevating unit 140 to appropriately adjust the cooking time of the food.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the frying apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the food for frying is housed in the frying net portion 130. The pushing net 136 provided in the frying net 130 is opened to independently receive food in each of the compartment spaces defined by the divided net 134. [

 The width of the compartment space partitioned by the partitioning network 134 is a width at which the food can stand up, so that the food can stand upright as shown in FIG. Thereafter, each of the compartment spaces provided in the same column is covered by the pressing portion 136. Each pressing portion 136 is connected by a link member 137 and interlocked with each other.

When the connecting portion 132a formed on one side of the frying net 130 is fixed to the holding portion of the supporting bracket 142 and the elevating portion 140 is operated in the above-described state, the operation of the cylinder 144 causes the supporting bracket 142 And the frying net portion 130 is put into the oil vat 112 by the lowering of the support bracket 142. The cooking oil heated by the heater unit 120 is provided in the oil tank 112 and the food is fried by the input of the frying net 130. [

At this time, the food is floated by the cooking oil. The upper portion of the food is pressed by the pressing portion 136 by its own weight, so that all portions of the food are immersed in the cooking oil. In addition, the floating food remains in an upright position in the compartment space, so that only the very small portion at the top is brought into contact with the pushing portion 136, so that the entire food can be evenly fried.

This can solve the problem that the food must be inverted by being suspended in the cooking oil in the oil tub 112 in the conventional case, and the whole food can not be evenly splashed.

Then, when the frying is completed, the user operates the cylinder 144 to raise the support bracket 142, and the frying net portion 130 is drawn to the upper portion of the oil vat 112 by the rise of the support bracket 142 . At this time, since the frying net portion 130 and the oil vat 112 are located on the same line, the frying net portion 130 and the cooking oil on the food can be dropped into the oil vat 112.

Meanwhile, the housing 110 is provided with a control unit 114, and the control unit 114 can control the heater unit 120 and the elevation unit 140. When the user inputs the cooking oil temperature and the frying time into the control unit 114, the food can be automatically fried. That is, the heater unit 120 is operated by the temperature set in the control unit 114 to heat the cooking oil to the set temperature. The control unit 114 automatically controls the elevation unit 140 to turn on the fryer 130, The frying net 130 can be automatically drawn out after a lapse of time. The control unit 114 stores the temperature of the cooking oil and the frying time in a database according to the food, so that even a beginner can easily fry the food.

As described above, according to the fryer according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the food is cooked by frying, each food is housed in an upright position in the compartment space of the frying pan, It is possible to evenly bake all the parts of the food, and it is possible to bake a large amount of food at once, and the food is not interfered with each other during the cooking, thereby improving productivity and product quality.

Further, the present invention provides convenience in use by the heater unit and the lift unit which are automatically controlled by the control unit.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand.
