a stove unit (3) disposed on the base (2) and situated right below the stir-frying rotary tank (22); a tilting unit (4) pivotably disposed on the base (2); a receiving tank (5) provided in the machine stand (1) for receiving the cooked foodstuffs; a cleaning unit (6) assembled on the machine stand (1) and corresponding to the stir-frying rotary tank (22) after tilting by the tilting unit (4) for water cleaning the stir-frying rotary tank (22); a control unit (8) vertically disposed on the machine stand (1) and provided with an control panel (81) for controlling the operating time of the automatic stir-fryer and the temperature of the stove unit (3). ## Claims ### Claim 1 An automatic stir-fryer, comprising: a machine stand; a base pivotably disposed on the machine stand, wherein a dynamic power source having a rotary shaft is disposed on the base and the rotary shaft is connected with a stir-frying rotary tank containing foodstuffs; a stove unit disposed on the base and situated under the stir-frying rotary tank; a tilting unit disposed on the base for driving and pivoting the base to turn over and to return back to an original position; a receiving tank disposed on the machine stand for receiving the foodstuffs dumped out from the stir-frying rotary tank, wherein the receiving tanks is capable of being drew out from and pushed back into the machine stand; a cleaning unit disposed on the machine stand and situated in correspondence to the stir-frying rotary tank after being turned over for cleaning the stir-frying rotary tank; and a drying unit disposed on the machine stand and comprising a funnel-shape tank; and a control unit disposed on the machine stand and having a control panel for controlling an action period and a temperature for the automatic stir-fryer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit further comprises a temperature transceiver for detecting a heating temperature for the stir-frying rotary tank. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tilting unit further comprises an actuator disposed at one of the two later sides of the machine stand, which actuator has a driving rod with a power output end, which power output end is pivotably connected with the base, so as to drive the base to turn over or to return back to the original position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 3, wherein the actuator is selected from one of a hydraulic cylinder and a screw linear actuator. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cleaning unit further comprises a water hose and an air hose for cleaning the stir-frying rotary tank. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cleaning unit further comprises a water hose and an air hose for cleaning the stir-frying rotary tank. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the stove unit further comprises a thermal power adjusting unit and the thermal power adjusting unit comprises a main rack, which main rack is connected with a thermal power source providing a thermal power for the stove unit, and comprises multiple electromagnetic valves, each of which electromagnetic valves have a tuning knob for controlling a supplying discharge for the thermal power inputted by the thermal power source. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 5, wherein the stove unit further comprises a thermal power adjusting unit and the thermal power adjusting unit comprises a main rack, which main rack is connected with a thermal power source providing a thermal power for the stove unit, and comprises multiple electromagnetic valves, each of which electromagnetic valves have a tuning knob for controlling a supplying discharge for the thermal power inputted by the thermal power source. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the drying unit further comprises a set of slide tracks disposed in the machine stand and situated under the receiving tank, a drawer recycling tank sliding on the set of slide tracks, which drawer recycling tank has a bottom opened with multiple apertures, and the funnel-shape tank disposed under the drawer recycling tank, for draining out the wasted water. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the drying unit further comprises a set of slide tracks disposed in the machine stand and situated under the receiving tank, a drawer recycling tank sliding on the set of slide tracks, which drawer recycling tank has a bottom opened with multiple apertures, and the funnel-shape tank disposed under the drawer recycling tank, for draining out the wasted water. ### Claim 11 (depends on 3) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 3, wherein the drying unit further comprises a set of slide tracks disposed in the machine stand and situated under the receiving tank, a drawer recycling tank sliding on the set of slide tracks, which drawer recycling tank has a bottom opened with multiple apertures, and the funnel-shape tank disposed under the drawer recycling tank, for draining out the wasted water. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the drying unit further comprises a set of slide tracks disposed in the machine stand and situated under the receiving tank, a drawer recycling tank sliding on the set of slide tracks, which drawer recycling tank has a bottom opened with multiple apertures, and the funnel-shape tank disposed under the drawer recycling tank, for draining out the wasted water. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a looped guiding plate disposed under the receiving tank. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The automatic stir-fryer as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a sensor disposed in correspondence to the receiving tank, wherein the sensor is electrically connected with the control unit for detecting whether a drew-out state or a stored-in state the receiving tank is currently to be placed in.
