1. A frying apparatus having an oil recycling and purifying function and a frying oil separating function comprising:
a main body casing that forms an exterior,
a basket which is configured to put a cooking material therein, and formed of a mesh body,
at least one oil tank that is configured to accommodate the basket at an inside of the main body casing and store a cooking oil therein,
a cooking heater that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the oil tank and configured to boil the cooking oil stored inside the oil tank to perform a fry cooking,
an oil purifying and circulating unit that is provided in communication with a lower part of the oil tank, and is configured to circulate a process in which the cooking oil used for fry cooking at the oil tank is collected and purified, and then supplied to the oil tank again,
a rotary drive unit that allows the basket to rotate so that oil is separated from fried foods contained inside the basket by rotational centrifugal force,
a basket holder provided so as to expose an opening to an upper part of the main body casing, with the basket being provided so as to be hung and accommodated inside the basket holder, and
an oil-outflow preventive cover that is fixedly installed between the oil tank and the basket holder to prevent the oil separated from the fried foods contained in the basket from splashing to other places during rotation of the basket,
wherein the oil-outflow preventive cover is provided to be radially spaced from the basket accommodated in the basket holder in the main body casing,
wherein the oil tank further includes an elevating drive unit that is provided so that it can be elevated and descended to accommodate the basket when ascending from a lower part of the basket holder, and is connected to the oil tank and provides a driving force that allows the oil tank to elevate,
the elevating drive unit is provided adjacent to the lower part of the oil tank, and
the rotary drive unit allows the basket to rotate when the oil tank descends, and is provided adjacent to a lower center of the basket holder to be connected with the basket holder,
wherein the oil purifying and circulating unit includes:
a purifying and circulating pipe that is provided in communication with a lower central part of the oil tank, and is provided in a double pipe structure so that the used cooking oil is discharged from the inside of the oil tank, while the purified cooking oil is supplied to the oil tank again,
an oil discharge pipe provided on one side of an end part of the purifying and circulating pipe to discharge the used cooking oil,
a purified oil suction pipe that is provided on opposite side of the end part of the purifying and circulating pipe to provide a path through the purified cooking oil is sucked again through the purifying and circulating pipe,
an oil purifying and circulating tank in which the oil discharge pipe and the purified oil suction pipe are connected and provided so that the cooking oil flowing in through the oil discharge pipe is purified and only the purified cooking oil is suctioned through the purified oil suction pipe, and
a suction pump that is provided in the purified oil suction pipe to provide an intake input for sucking the purified cooking oil from the oil purifying and circulating tank,
wherein the oil purifying and circulating tank is provided in a form of a box having an opened upper part, a filter mesh is provided above a middle part of the oil purifying and circulating tank, and a purifying filter is provided below a height of the middle part,
the oil discharge pipe extends only from the inside of the oil purifying and circulating tank to an upper part of the filter mesh,
the purified oil suction pipe is provided so as to extend from the inside of the oil purifying and circulating tank to a lower part of the purifying filter, and
the purifying and circulating pipe is provided so that an inner pipe of a central part communicates with the oil discharge pipe and an exterior pipe communicates with the purified oil suction pipe.
