When the drip tray 13 is integrally formed with the guide plate 17, the drip tray 13 and the guide plate 17 may be formed by pressing the drip tray 13 and the guide plate 17 at a time, for example, to improve productivity.

Water is contained in the inside of the sump 13 configured as above, and oil generated in the roasting plate 25 is stored therein when cooking the electric frying pan according to the present invention.

The fan 14 is installed at one side of the drip tray 13 in the lower case 11. An opening / closing door 11a is provided on the bottom of the lower case 11 as shown in FIG. 2 so that the fan 14 can be fastened and separated from the bottom of the lower case 11.

The fan 14 is installed at one side of the drip tray 13 inside the lower case 11. The fan 14 is mounted in the lower case 11 by a fan bracket 15, and one side of the fan bracket 15 discharges an inlet hole 15a and air into which the air enters the fan 14. The discharge hole 15b is formed.

The fan 14 may be fastened or separated from the bottom of the lower case 11. That is, the opening and closing door 11a provided on the bottom of the lower case 11 may be opened to insert the fan 14 into the lower case 11.

One side of the fan 14 in the axial direction is provided with a drive motor 16, the fan 14 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor 16. Thus, the fan 14 is rotated by the operation of the drive motor 16.

The fan 14 installed as described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by sucking the air above the roasting plate 25 disposed inside the guide plate 17 through the air vent 17a. The lower case 11 is introduced below and then discharged and sent again through the air vent 17b to the upper side of the roasting plate 25 to continuously circulate the air.

Meanwhile, the heater support 22 is provided inside the guide plate 17, and the electric heater 23 is disposed on the heater support 22.

Using the electric frying pan according to the present invention configured as described above, the oil or moisture and smoke or odor generated when grilling meat or fish is not released to the outside without closing the lid (not shown). The reason for this is as follows.

When the pan 14 rotates when grilling the meat or fish on the grilling plate 25, the grilling plate 25 is upper part through the vent 17a of one side of the guide plate 17 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The smoke and air containing moisture, oil, odor and the like is sucked into the fan (14). The air sucked into the fan 14 is discharged into the inner space of the lower case 11 positioned below the guide plate 17.

The air discharged from the fan 14 to the lower side of the guide plate 17 is supplied to the upper side of the roasting plate 25 again through the vent 17b of the guide plate 17. In addition, the air entering the baking plate 25 continues to circulate in the same path as the above by the fan 14.

Repeating the circulation of air in the path as described above has the effect that the air curtain is formed on the top of the baking sheet 25. Accordingly, the heated heat of the roasting plate 25 is not radiated to the outside, and some of the heat remains in the upper portion of the roasting plate 25, and some of them are sucked through the fan 14 to be cooled by heat exchange with water in the oil receiving plate 13.

Therefore, since the heat of the baking plate 25 is not radiated to the outside, even when the heater 23 is weakly operated, the heat of the baking plate 25 is not easily cooled, and the heating effect of the baking plate 25 is reduced even with little heat. Maximized to achieve high thermal efficiency.

In addition, as the above-described air circulation process and the roasting plate 25 is heated, the thermal oxidation is made, and thus the odor generated while the meat and fish are grilled may be oxidized to remove the odor.

In addition, since moisture and oil droplets generated when grilling meat are circulated with the air, it is possible to minimize the environmental pollution of the electric frying pan according to the present invention.

On the other hand, the fan 14 that sucks the smell and smoke generated when grilling the meat is forced to suck the smoke and odor when inhaled by the suction force of the moisture and oil droplets are sucked together around the pan 14 Often worn, the fan 14 needs to be cleaned more often than other components.

In the electric frying pan according to the present invention, when opening and closing the door 11a provided on the bottom of the lower case 11, the fan 14 installed inside the lower case 11 is exposed, the fan 14 is opened and closed door 11a can be easily detached from the bottom surface of the lower case 11 which is open.

Accordingly, the fan 14, which should be frequently cleaned, may be easily separated and cleaned from the bottom of the lower case 11.

Although some embodiments have been described above by way of example, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other forms without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

Accordingly, the above-described embodiments should be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and all embodiments within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents are included within the scope of the present invention.
