Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air fryers, and particularly relates to an air fryer that applies a detachable electrostatic adsorption device to adsorb and separate oil fume. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses high-speed circulating hot air to heat and cook food, and forms a crispy texture similar to frying on the surface of the food through the continuous action of high-temperature air flow. However, during the long-term use of existing air fryers, a large amount of grease is likely to accumulate inside, and the oil fume-containing gas is directly discharged into the indoor environment during operation, which affects the health of users and the air quality in the kitchen. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, meet the need for washing a small number of dishes, improve the cleanliness of the dishes, and enhance the convenience of residue disposal, the present invention provides an air fryer that applies electrostatic separation of oil fume. The air fryer of the present invention sets an electrostatic adsorption device at key positions in the exhaust or the inner cavity, makes the oil fume particles charged through high-voltage ionization, and is directionally adsorbed onto the collection plate under the action of an electric field, thereby achieving efficient capture of oil fume.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0005] An air fryer that applies electrostatic separation of oil fume, including an air fryer body, characterized in that an electrostatic adsorption device is provided in the inner cavity of the air fryer body, and the electrostatic adsorption device is detachably arranged at the upper part of the inner cavity of the air fryer; wherein:

[0006] The air fryer body includes a housing (11), a frying basket (12), a fan (13), and a heating wire (14). The housing (11) has an inner cavity. The frying basket (12) is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the housing (11). A handle is provided on the part of the frying basket (12) exposed outside the housing (11). The handle is integrated with a button. When the user presses the button, the frying basket (12) can be taken out of or put into the housing (11). The fan (13) and the heating wire (14) are both installed in the inner cavity of the housing (11) and are located above the frying basket (12). The heating wire (14) is arranged in a "return" shape around the fan (13). After being powered on, the heating wire (14) generates radiant heat, and the fan (13) operates to blow hot air downward to the frying basket (12) area, and a forced circulating hot air flow is formed in the inner cavity of the housing (11), thereby achieving uniform heating of food;

[0007] The electrostatic adsorption device includes an electrostatic collection module (21) and an electrostatic needle module (22);

[0008] The electrostatic collection module (21) includes a honeycomb collection plate (211) and a mounting block (212). The electrostatic electrode needle module (22) includes an ionization electrode needle (221) and an insulating shell (222) covering the outside of the ionization electrode needle (221). The honeycomb collection plate (211) and the ionization electrode needle (221) are arranged opposite to each other. When working, the ionization electrode needle (221) ionizes the surrounding air under the action of high voltage, generating a large number of positive and negative ions. Under the guidance of the fan (13), the positive and negative ions are fully mixed with the oil fume particles and make them charged, forming charged oil fume particles (311). The electrostatic collection module (21) is provided with a high voltage electric field. The charged oil fume particles (311) migrate towards the honeycomb collection plate (211) under the drive of the electric field force and finally adsorb onto the surface of the honeycomb collection plate (211), realizing the separation and collection of oil fumes.

[0009] Furthermore, the air fryer body is made entirely of metal, which is food-contact grade stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0010] Furthermore, the shell (11) has a cylindrical structure, and its inner wall and the inner liner are filled with high-temperature resistant insulation material, such as ceramic fiber or aluminum silicate cotton. This design can significantly reduce heat loss during cooking and improve energy efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the cooking cavity is provided with buckles on both sides, and the frying basket (12) is closed and connected to the shell (11) through the buckles.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the air fryer body is provided with an installation groove, the bottom of which is connected to the inner cavity of the air fryer, and the electrostatic adsorption device is disposed in the installation groove.

[0013] The technical concept of this invention is to use electrostatic adsorption technology to adsorb the oil fume particles generated during the use of the air fryer onto a honeycomb collection plate, which can concentrate and collect the oil fume and help to remove it.

[0014] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0015] (1) Place the food to be cooked into the air fryer basket (12), close the latch, and then turn on the air fryer switch.

[0016] (2) After the air fryer starts operating, the resistance wire (14) is energized and heats up. The fan (13) pushes air through the resistance wire (14) to form a high-temperature circulating airflow, which heats the food. During this process, the food is heated and produces oil fumes. At the same time, the ionization electrode (221) in the electrostatic electrode module (22) undergoes corona discharge under high voltage, causing the surrounding gas to ionize and generate a large number of positive and negative ions. These positive and negative ions are mixed with the oil fume particles by the fan (13), causing the oil fume particles to become charged and form charged oil fume particles (311). Under the action of the electrostatic field, the charged oil fume particles (311) move directionally toward the honeycomb collection plate (211) of the electrostatic collection module (21) and are finally adsorbed onto the surface of the honeycomb collection plate (211), thereby realizing the electrostatic adsorption and capture of oil fumes.

[0017] (3) After cooking, the electrostatic adsorption device (2) as a whole or the honeycomb collection plate (211) can be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance so that it can be reused.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in:

[0019] 1. This invention utilizes electrostatic adsorption technology to adsorb oil fume particles generated during air fryer use onto a honeycomb collection plate, which can concentrate and collect the oil fume, facilitating its removal;

[0020] 2. The electrostatic collection module, through its honeycomb structure design, can efficiently adsorb oil fume particles within the electrostatic collection system, thereby improving adsorption efficiency;

[0021] 3. The electrostatic adsorption device adopts a detachable design. When a lot of grease accumulates on the surface of the honeycomb collection plate, the user can remove it as a whole for cleaning, which greatly simplifies the cleaning and maintenance process.

[0022] 4. The present invention has a compact structure and is easy to install, which can significantly improve the purification efficiency of oil fumes and improve the cooking environment. Attached Figure Description
