Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, in particular to an air fryer. Background Art
[0002] In the related art, cooking appliances such as air fryers have stirring paddles installed in the inner pot to facilitate stirring of ingredients. Some cooking appliances use motors to drive the air guide cover to rotate so that hot air is evenly blown to the cooking cavity to ensure the cooking effect. At the same time, the stirring paddle is connected to the air guide cover through a quick-connect structure so that the air guide cover drives the stirring paddle to rotate. However, in the related art, the stirring paddle and the air guide cover are movably connected. When the air guide cover drives the stirring paddle to rotate, the air guide cover will rigidly collide with the stirring paddle, resulting in high working noise and poor user experience.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0025] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 6 An air fryer according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.
[0026] The air fryer of the utility model embodiment comprises an inner pot 1, a head assembly 2, a first connecting member 3 and a stirring paddle 4. The inner pot 1 defines a cooking cavity. The head assembly 2 comprises a head 21, a hot air assembly 22 and an air guide cover 23, the head 21 is suitable for covering the inner pot 1, the hot air assembly 22 is mounted on the head 21, the air guide cover 23 is pivotally connected to the head 21, and the air guide cover 23 separates the hot air assembly 22 from the cooking cavity. The hardness of the first connecting member 3 is lower than the hardness of the air guide cover 23, and the first connecting member 3 is connected to the air guide cover 23. The stirring paddle 4 is arranged in the cooking cavity, and the first connecting member 3 is movably connected to the stirring paddle 4, so that the stirring paddle 4 is driven to rotate when the air guide cover 23 rotates.
[0027] According to the air fryer of the embodiment of the utility model, the air guide cover 23 is pivotally connected to the machine head 21, and the air guide cover 23 can rotate relative to the machine head 21 under the drive of the motor to evenly pass the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 22 into the cooking cavity. At the same time, the air guide cover 23 is connected to the stirring paddle 4 through the first connecting member 3 to drive the stirring paddle 4 to rotate, and the stirring paddle 4 tumbles the food in the cooking cavity, further ensuring that the food is heated evenly and ensuring the cooking efficiency of the air fryer. Among them, by setting the hardness of the first connecting member 3 to be lower than the hardness of the air guide cover 23, and the first connecting member 3 is movably connected to the stirring paddle 4 instead of the air guide cover 23, when the first connecting member 3 drives the stirring paddle 4 to rotate, the noise generated by the collision between the first connecting member 3 and the stirring paddle 4 is smaller, and the user experience is higher.
[0028] It should be noted that the motor driving the air guide cover 23 to rotate is installed in the machine head 21, and the motor is connected to the air guide cover 23 through a gear transmission mechanism to drive the air guide cover 23 to rotate around its center line. After the machine head 21 is closed, the stirring paddle 4 is limited between the bottom wall of the inner pot 1 and the air guide cover 23, and the lower surface of the stirring paddle 4 is provided with a guide hole that is substantially coaxial with the air guide cover 23. The bottom wall of the inner pot 1 is provided with a boss extending upward, and the boss is matched with the guide hole gap to achieve radial limitation of the stirring paddle 4, ensuring that the stirring paddle 4 can only rotate around its central axis in the cooking cavity.
[0029] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 3 is a plastic member, and the air guide cover 23 is a metal member. Among them, by setting the first connecting member 3 as a plastic member, when the stirring paddle 4 collides with it, the first connecting member 3 can effectively buffer the impact force through micro-elastic deformation, thereby generating less noise. By setting the air guide cover 23 as a metal member, it has better high temperature resistance and high strength, and will not be thermally deformed due to being too close to the heating pipe in the hot air assembly 22. It can more reliably transmit power to the stirring paddle 4, and realize the synchronous rotation of the air guide cover 23 and the stirring paddle 4.
[0030] For example, the first connecting member 3 is made of high temperature resistant plastic to ensure that it is not deformed or damaged due to high temperature when in contact with the air guide cover 23. The air guide cover 23 is an integrally stamped sheet metal part.
[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air guide cover 23 includes a bottom plate 231 located on the side of the hot air assembly 22 away from the machine head 21, and the first connecting member 3 includes a first base plate 31 and a first tooth 32, and the first base plate 31 is connected to the bottom plate 231. The first tooth 32 is arranged on the side of the first base plate 31 away from the bottom plate 231, and there are a plurality of first teeth 32 and arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first base plate 31, and the stirring paddle 4 is partially fitted between two adjacent first teeth 32.
[0032] The part of the stirring paddle 4 is arranged to fit between two adjacent first teeth 32. When the air guide cover 23 rotates relative to the machine head 21, one of the first teeth 32 will contact the part of the stirring paddle 4 and push the stirring paddle 4 to rotate synchronously, making it convenient to connect and separate the stirring paddle 4 from the first connecting member 3.
[0033] Specifically, when the machine head 21 is closed, part of the stirring paddle 4 fits between two adjacent first teeth 32, and at this time, the part of the stirring paddle 4 interferes with the rotation trajectory of the first teeth 32. When the air guide cover 23 drives the first connecting member 3 to rotate, one of the first teeth 32 will contact the part of the stirring paddle 4 and drive it to rotate together. When the machine head 21 is opened, the first connecting member 3 directly detaches from the stirring paddle 4 and will not bring the stirring paddle 4 out of the inner pot 1.
[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom plate 231 is provided with a first mounting hole, the first connecting member 3 is provided with a first threaded hole, and the first connecting member 3 is connected by a first threaded member 5 that passes through the first mounting hole and is threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole. The first substrate 31 is connected to the bottom plate 231 by the first threaded member 5, so that the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23 are easy to disassemble and assemble, and the connection strength is high.
[0035] Specifically, the first threaded member 5 is a bolt and the number is one. The axis of the first mounting hole is roughly colinear with the center line of the base plate 231. The bolt passes through the first mounting hole and cooperates with the first threaded hole thread, thereby realizing the connection between the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the bottom plate 231 and the first connecting member 3 is provided with a first protrusion 33 , and the other of the bottom plate 231 and the first connecting member 3 is provided with a first limiting hole 2311 , and the first protrusion 33 fits in the first limiting hole 2311 .
[0037] By respectively arranging matching first protrusions 33 and first limiting holes 2311 on the first connecting member 3 and the bottom plate 231, it is possible to effectively ensure that the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23 are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction of the air guide cover 23. At this time, only one first threaded member 5 needs to be arranged to realize the relative fixation of the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23 in the axial direction of the air guide cover 23, and the assembly efficiency between the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23 is high.
[0038] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are four first limiting holes 2311 and they are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the bottom plate 231. The axial direction of the first limiting holes 2311 is consistent with the axial direction of the bottom plate 231. Four first protrusions 33 are correspondingly provided. The first protrusions 33 are fitted in the corresponding first limiting holes 2311, thereby realizing the relative fixation of the first connecting member 3 and the air guide cover 23 in the circumference of the air guide cover 23.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the stirring paddle 4 includes a body 41 and a second connecting member 42, the body 41 is a plastic member, and the body 41 is pivotally connected to the inner pot 1. The second connecting member 42 is a plastic member or a metal member, and the second connecting member 42 is detachably connected to the top of the body 41, and at least a portion of the second connecting member 42 is fitted between two adjacent first teeth 32.
[0040] The stirring paddle 4 includes a body 41 and a second connecting member 42 that are detachably connected. The body 41 is connected to the first connecting member 3 through the second connecting member 42. At this time, the body 41 is farther away from the heating tube, so it is less likely to be deformed by heat and has a longer service life. The second connecting member 42 is set as a plastic part, which can further reduce the noise when the air fryer is working. The second connecting member 42 is set as a metal part, which can have higher strength. It is less likely to bend and deform when it rotates under the push of the first tooth 32, and has a longer service life.
[0041] For example, the second connecting member 42 is made of high temperature resistant plastic, or the second connecting member 42 is an integrally stamped sheet metal member.
[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting member 42 includes a second base plate 421 and a second shifting tooth 422. The second base plate 421 is connected to the body 41 through a second screw member 6. The second base plate 421 is located on the side of the body 41 facing the bottom plate 231. The second shifting teeth 422 are arranged on the side of the second base plate 421 facing the bottom plate 231. The number of the second shifting teeth 422 is equal to that of the first shifting teeth 32. The plurality of second shifting teeth 422 and the plurality of first shifting teeth 32 are alternately arranged along the circumference of the bottom plate 231. The plurality of second shifting teeth 422 can abut against different first shifting teeth 32 at the same time.
[0043] At this time, when the wind guide cover 23 drives the stirring paddle 4 to rotate, each first tooth 32 abuts against a different second tooth 422 and gives the corresponding second tooth 422 the same thrust. At this time, the interaction force between each first tooth 32 and the corresponding second tooth 422 is smaller, and the first tooth 32 and the second tooth 422 are not easily bent, deformed or damaged due to excessive force, and the service life of the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 42 is longer.
[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting member 42 further includes a connecting seat 423, which is arranged on the side of the second substrate 421 away from the second shifting tooth 422, and a limiting groove 412 is arranged on the body 41, and the limiting groove 412 is a special-shaped groove, and the connecting seat 423 is matched in the limiting groove 412. Through the matching connecting seat 423 and the limiting groove 412, the relative fixation of the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 in the circumferential direction of the body 41 can be effectively ensured. At this time, only one first threaded member 5 is required to realize the relative fixation of the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 in the axial direction of the body 41, and the assembly efficiency between the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 is high.
[0045] Or, if Figure 6As shown, the second connecting member 42 also includes a connecting sleeve 424, which is arranged on the side of the second substrate 421 away from the second tooth 422, and the side of the second substrate 421 away from the body 41 is provided with a second limiting hole 4211 corresponding to the second tooth 422, and the top of the body 41 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 411 corresponding to the second limiting holes 4211, and the connecting sleeve 424 is sleeved on the top of the body 41, and the second protrusions 411 are matched in the corresponding second limiting holes 4211. Through the matched second limiting and second protrusions 411, the relative fixation of the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 in the circumferential direction of the body 41 can be effectively guaranteed. At this time, only one first threaded member 5 is required to realize the relative fixation of the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 in the axial direction of the body 41, and the assembly efficiency between the second connecting member 42 and the body 41 is high. Moreover, the design of the connecting sleeve 424 can better protect the top of the body 41 from breaking and gelling due to high temperature.
[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first shifting tooth 32 includes a first limiting surface 321 and a first guiding surface 322 which are opposite to each other along the circumference of the bottom plate 231, the first limiting surface 321 is parallel to or coplanar with the center line of the bottom plate 231, and the distance between the first guiding surface 322 and the first limiting surface 321 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first substrate 31. The second shifting tooth 422 includes a second limiting surface 4221 and a second guiding surface 4222 which are opposite to each other along the circumference of the bottom plate 231, the second limiting surface 4221 is parallel to or coplanar with the center line of the bottom plate 231, the distance between the second guiding surface 4222 and the second limiting surface 4221 gradually decreases in the direction away from the second substrate 421, and the second limiting surface 4221 can be in contact with the first limiting surface 321.
[0047] The first shift tooth 32 and the second shift tooth 422 are respectively provided to include a first limiting surface 321 and a second limiting surface 4221 which are parallel to or coplanar with the center line of the bottom plate 231. The first shift tooth 32 contacts the second limiting surface 4221 of the second shift tooth 422 through the first limiting surface 321 and pushes the second shift tooth 422 to perform a circular motion. During this process, no force will be generated along the axial direction of the bottom plate 231, and the transmission between the two is reliable. Moreover, a distance between the first guide surface 322 and the first limiting surface 321 is gradually reduced in a direction away from the first substrate 31, and a distance between the second guide surface 4222 and the second limiting surface 4221 is gradually reduced in a direction away from the second substrate 421. When the machine head 21 is closed, the first gear 32 is more easily fitted between two adjacent second gears 422, and the second guide surface 4222 of one of the second gears 422 can be slidably fitted with the first guide surface 322 of the first gear 32, so that the first limiting surface 321 of the first gear 32 automatically abuts against the second limiting surface 4221 of the other second gear 422, and the connection between the air guide cover 23 and the stirring paddle 4 is convenient and accurate.
[0048] It should be noted that when the first connecting member 3 pushes the second connecting member 42 to rotate, the first limiting surface 321 is in close contact with the second limiting surface 4221, thereby reducing the local pressure on each of the first shifting tooth 32 and the second shifting tooth 422, making the first shifting tooth 32 and the second shifting tooth 422 less likely to deform.
[0049] In some embodiments, the number of the first teeth 32 and the second teeth 422 are both two, three or four. Setting the number of the first teeth 32 and the second teeth 422 to four can further reduce the interaction force between each first tooth 32 and the corresponding second tooth 422, and reduce the risk of deformation of the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 42. Setting the number of the first teeth 32 and the second teeth 422 to two or three can make the cooperation between the second teeth 422 and the first teeth 32 more convenient and faster, and the probability of interference by the second teeth 422 when the head 21 is closed is lower, and the closing of the head 21 is smoother.
[0050] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the number of the first teeth 32 and the second teeth 422 is four. At this time, the torque of the air guide cover 23 driving the stirring paddle 4 to rotate is divided into four parts, thereby making the interaction force between each first tooth 32 and the second tooth 422 smaller.
[0051] Alternatively, the number of the first teeth 32 and the second teeth 422 is three.
