The invention discloses a heating and overturning mechanism for a frying pan. The mechanism comprises a self-rotation structure which drives a pan body to self-rotate through a self-rotation motor, aheating structure which heats the pan body through an electromagnetic coil and conducts temperature control through a temperature measurement module, an overturning structure which drives the pan bodyto overturn through an overturning motor and an infrared positioning device which positions the overturning angle of the pan body. According to the heating and overturning mechanism for the frying pan, the frying pan is automatically heated and subjected to temperature control, random forward rotation and reverse rotation can be achieved, and the action of cooking dishes by a cook is simulated; the actions of fixed-point overturning and stopping at six positions can be achieved, the dishes are poured into the pan and fried, seasoning is automatically added to the dishes, the dishes are friedcompletely and taken out of the pan, and automation of the whole process of washing the pan is achieved.
