Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a highly practical air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] In existing air fryers, to prevent the outer shell from overheating, heat dissipation channels are provided between the cooking chamber and the outer shell. Cooling fans are installed in the heat dissipation channels to guide external cold air from top to bottom or bottom to top through the channels to dissipate heat from the machine. For existing products where cold air rises from bottom to top, because the temperature at the bottom of the cooking chamber is lower, when frying or baking frozen fries or meat, not only will water vapor condense at the bottom of the cooking chamber, forming a large amount of condensate, but users will also easily carry the condensate out of the bottom of the cooking chamber when removing the frying basket, thus polluting the external environment and resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a highly practical air fryer to solve the technical problems of existing air fryers, where water vapor easily condenses at the bottom of the cooking cavity to form a large amount of condensate when frying or baking frozen fries or meat, and the condensate at the bottom of the cooking cavity is easily carried out when the frying basket is pulled out, thus causing pollution to the external environment and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a highly practical air fryer, including a body and a cooking chamber with an open side opening inside the body. A frying basket with an open top is detachably suspended inside the cooking chamber through the side opening. The frying basket includes a pot body made of metal material. An air duct plate is provided directly above the top opening of the pot body. The air duct plate is used to guide hot airflow into the pot body through the top opening. There is a gap h between the bottom wall of the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking chamber, which satisfies 0mm < h ≤ 4mm. By setting the gap h between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, not only can the friction between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity be reduced, thereby reducing wear, but the resistance encountered by the pot body during installation and disassembly can also be reduced, making installation and disassembly easier and effectively improving the user experience. Simultaneously, by setting the value of the gap h to be greater than 0mm and less than 4mm, heat dissipation between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity can be effectively ensured, preventing the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity from overheating locally and causing damage to the machine. Even in the event of a body damage, the high temperature inside the pot can be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity through the bottom wall of the pot body, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and reducing the likelihood of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity. In addition, by using metal materials to make the pot body, the thermal conductivity of the bottom wall of the pot body can also be improved, allowing more heat to be transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity through the bottom wall of the pot body, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and further reducing the likelihood of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, effectively improving the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, guide grooves extending towards the side openings are provided on the left and right side walls of the upper part of the cooking cavity, and an outwardly folded flange is provided on the top of the pot body. The frying basket is adapted to be detachably suspended in the guide grooves via the flanges. The guide grooves not only limit the installation of the frying basket to improve its installation stability, but also guide the installation and disassembly of the frying basket, effectively reducing the difficulty of installation and disassembly. At the same time, by suspending the frying basket in the cooking cavity through the guide grooves, the frying basket can better maintain the distance between itself and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, thereby allowing the high temperature inside the pot body to be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity through the bottom wall of the pot body, thus increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the guide groove is provided with a sealing element made of an elastic, high-temperature resistant material, and the flange is adapted to seal against the inner wall of the guide groove through the sealing element. By providing the sealing element in the guide groove so that the flange seals against the inner wall of the guide groove, not only can the outflow of hot air from the pot be reduced, thereby effectively ensuring cooking efficiency, but the outflow of water vapor from the pot to the bottom of the cooking cavity can also be reduced, thus preventing condensation on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the cooking cavity is provided with a plurality of support members that protrude from the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and extend toward the side opening, and the frying basket is adapted to be suspended in the cooking cavity by the support members. The support member is adapted to guide and / or support the installation of the frying basket. By using the support member to guide and / or support the installation of the frying basket, the installation difficulty can be effectively reduced, and the friction between the bottom wall of the pot and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity can be reduced, thereby reducing wear on the pot and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, and reducing the resistance encountered by the pot during installation and disassembly, making installation and disassembly easier. Simultaneously, by supporting the frying basket, the distance between the bottom wall of the frying basket and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity can be better controlled, allowing the high temperature inside the pot to be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity through the bottom wall of the pot, thus increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity. It can also lift the pot to reduce the gap between the top opening of the pot and the air duct plate, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor flowing out of the pot to the bottom of the cooking cavity and forming condensate there.

[0008] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the cooking cavity is provided with a plurality of downwardly recessed mounting grooves, and the support member is at least partially confined within the mounting grooves. By providing the mounting grooves at the bottom of the cooking cavity, not only can at least part of the support member be hidden to improve the overall aesthetics of the air fryer, but the installation of the support member can also be positioned and / or limited to reduce the installation difficulty of the support member and improve the connection stability between the support member and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the frying basket further includes a basket door panel disposed on the side of the pot body and matching the side opening. The bottom of the basket door panel has a downwardly extending step, and the bottom of the side opening has a recess corresponding to the step. When the frying basket is disposed in the cooking cavity, the step is adapted to slide in conjunction with the recess. The step is adapted to support and / or support the frying basket. By supporting and / or limiting the installation of the frying basket through the step, not only can the up-and-down swaying of the frying basket during installation be reduced, effectively improving the installation stability of the frying basket, but it can also support the basket door panel to prevent the frying basket from tilting during installation, thereby preventing uneven distribution of food in the pot body and resulting in differences in the cooking area.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the machine body is provided with a heat dissipation duct, and a heat dissipation component is provided within the heat dissipation duct. An air outlet is provided on one side of the machine body, and the air outlet is connected to the heat dissipation duct via an air outlet channel. A hot air outlet, connected to the cooking cavity, is provided near the air outlet on the duct plate, and the hot air outlet is connected to the air outlet channel. By providing an air outlet channel connected to the heat dissipation duct within the machine body and connecting the air outlet channel to the hot air outlet, the air fryer can achieve mixed hot and cold air output, effectively reducing the temperature of the airflow discharged from the air outlet, thereby reducing the risk of burns to the user from the airflow discharged from the air outlet and effectively improving user safety.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, a guide vane is provided around at least a portion of the hot air outlet, the guide vane being configured to direct the airflow from the hot air outlet into the air outlet channel. By providing the guide vane at the hot air outlet, not only can the heat flow and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet be concentrated and discharged, effectively improving the air outlet efficiency, but the heat flow and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet can also be directed to the upper part of the air outlet channel, so as to better and more fully mix with the cooling flow in the air outlet channel before being discharged, effectively reducing the temperature of the airflow discharged from the air outlet.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the air guide includes an extension extending along the direction of the air outlet and a guide portion extending upward from the extension. The extension and the guide portion are adapted to form an angle α, satisfying 120°≤α≤150°. By reasonably setting the angle between the extension and the guide portion, the resistance during airflow discharge can be reduced, allowing the hot air and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet to be discharged faster and better, effectively improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the air outlet area is S, which satisfies 1600mm². 2≤S≤1800mm 2 By properly setting the air outlet area, the heat and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet can be discharged more quickly and effectively, thus improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] This application, by setting the gap h between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, not only reduces friction between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, thereby reducing wear, but also reduces the resistance encountered by the pot body during installation and disassembly, making installation and disassembly easier and effectively improving the user experience. Simultaneously, by setting the value of the gap h to be greater than 0mm and less than 4mm, it effectively ensures heat dissipation between the pot body and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, preventing localized overheating and damage. In the event of damage to the cookware, the high temperature inside the pot can be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity through the bottom wall of the pot, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and reducing the likelihood of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity. Furthermore, using metal materials to make the pot body can also improve the thermal conductivity of the bottom wall of the pot, allowing more heat to be transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, further increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity and further reducing the likelihood of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity, effectively improving the user experience.

[0028] First embodiment:

[0029] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of the first embodiment of a highly practical air fryer provided by this utility model. The air fryer includes a body 10 and a cooking chamber 11 with an open side opening inside the body 10. A frying basket 20 with an open top is detachably suspended inside the cooking chamber 11 through the side opening. The frying basket 20 includes a pot body 21 made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy or copper-iron alloy. An air duct plate 12 is provided directly above the top opening of the pot body 21. The air duct plate 12 has an upwardly recessed hot air cavity 121. A hot air circulation system 30 for generating hot airflow is provided inside the hot air cavity 121. The air duct plate 12 is used to guide the hot airflow generated by the hot air circulation system 30 into the pot body 21 through the top opening to heat the food inside the pot body 21.

[0030] In the optional embodiment, there is a gap h between the bottom wall of the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, wherein the gap h satisfies 0mm < h ≤ 4mm. When the gap h = 0 mm, the bottom wall of the pot body 21 abuts against the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11. At this time, the pot body 21 will rub against the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 during installation and disassembly, which will not only easily cause wear on the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, but also easily cause the pot body 21 to encounter greater resistance during installation and disassembly, resulting in a poor user experience. When the gap h > 4 mm, the gap between the bottom wall of the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 is large, and the high temperature inside the pot body 21 is difficult to transfer to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 through the bottom wall of the pot body 21, which will easily lead to a lower temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, which will easily cause water vapor to condense on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 to form condensate. Therefore, the gap h between the bottom wall of the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 is preferably set to be greater than 0 mm and less than 4 mm, specifically, the gap h = 2 mm. By setting the gap h between the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, not only can the friction between the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 be reduced, thereby reducing wear on the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, but the resistance encountered by the pot body 21 during installation and disassembly can also be reduced, making the installation and disassembly of the pot body 21 easier and effectively improving the user experience. At the same time, by setting the value of the gap h to be greater than 0 mm and less than 4 mm, heat dissipation between the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 can be effectively guaranteed, avoiding the damage caused by excessively high local temperatures of the pot body 21 and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11. Even if the pot body 10 is damaged, the high temperature inside the pot body 21 can be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 through the bottom wall of the pot body 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 and reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11. In addition, by using metal materials to make the pot body 21, the thermal conductivity of the bottom wall of the pot body 21 can also be improved, allowing more heat to be transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 through the bottom wall of the pot body 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 and further reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, effectively improving the user experience.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the upper left and right side walls of the cooking cavity 11 are provided with guide grooves 111 extending toward the side opening, the top of the pot body 21 is provided with an outwardly folded flange 211, and the frying basket 20 is adapted to be detachably suspended in the guide groove 111 through the flange 211. By providing the guide grooves on both sides of the cooking cavity 11, the installation of the frying basket 20 can be limited to improve its installation stability. It also guides the installation and disassembly of the frying basket 20, effectively reducing the difficulty of installation and disassembly. Simultaneously, by suspending the frying basket 20 within the cooking cavity 11 through the guide grooves 111, the frying basket 20 can better maintain the distance between itself and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11. This allows the high temperature inside the pot body 21 to be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 through the bottom wall of the pot body 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 and reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide groove 111 is provided with a sealing element 13 made of elastic, high-temperature resistant materials such as rubber and silicone. The flange 211 is adapted to seal against the inner wall of the guide groove 111 through the sealing element 13. By providing the sealing element 13 in the guide groove 111, so that the flange 211 seals against the inner wall of the guide groove 111, not only can the outflow of hot air from the pot body 21 be reduced, thereby effectively ensuring cooking efficiency, but the outflow of water vapor from the pot body 21 to the bottom of the cooking cavity 11 can also be reduced, thereby condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11 to form condensate.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the frying basket 20 also includes a frying basket door panel 22 disposed on the side of the pot body 21 and matching the side opening. The bottom of the frying basket door panel 22 is provided with a downwardly extending step portion 221, and the bottom of the side opening is provided with a recessed portion 112 corresponding to the step portion 221. When the frying basket 20 is disposed in the cooking cavity 11, the step portion 221 is adapted to slide in cooperation with the recessed portion 112. The step portion 221 is adapted to support the frying basket 20. By supporting the installation of the frying basket 20 through the step portion 221, the door panel 22 of the frying basket can be supported to prevent the frying basket 20 from tilting during installation, which would cause uneven distribution of food in the pot body 21 and thus lead to differences in the cooking area. At the same time, the step portion 221 is adapted to limit the frying basket 20. By limiting the installation of the frying basket 20 through the step portion 221, the vertical swaying of the frying basket 20 during installation can be reduced, effectively improving the installation stability of the frying basket 20.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body 10 is provided with a heat dissipation duct 14, and a heat dissipation component 40 for generating a cooling airflow is provided within the heat dissipation duct 14. An air outlet 15 is provided on one side of the body 10, and the air outlet 15 is connected to the heat dissipation duct 14 via an air outlet channel 16. A hot air outlet 113, connected to the cooking cavity 11, is provided near the air outlet 15 on the duct plate 12. The hot air outlet 113 is adapted to be connected to the air outlet channel 16. By providing an air outlet channel 16 connected to the heat dissipation duct 14 within the body 10 and connecting the air outlet channel 16 to the hot air outlet 113, the air fryer can achieve mixed hot and cold air output, effectively reducing the temperature of the airflow discharged from the air outlet 15, thereby reducing the risk of burns to the user from the airflow discharged from the air outlet 15 and effectively improving user safety.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide element 17 is provided around at least a portion of the hot air outlet 113. The guide element 17 is configured to direct the airflow from the hot air outlet 113 into the air outlet channel 16. By providing the guide element 17 at the hot air outlet 113, not only can the heat flow and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet 113 be concentrated and discharged, effectively improving the air outlet efficiency, but also the heat flow and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet 113 can be directed to the upper part of the air outlet channel 16, so as to better and more fully mix with the cooling flow in the air outlet channel 16 and discharge it, effectively reducing the temperature of the airflow discharged from the air outlet 15.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the air guide 17 includes an extension 171 extending along the direction of the air outlet 15 and a guide portion 172 extending upward from the extension 171. The extension 171 and the guide portion 172 are adapted to form an included angle α, which satisfies 120°≤α≤150°. When the included angle α < 120°, the air resistance encountered by the heat flow and water vapor during discharge is relatively large. The heat flow and water vapor not only discharge slowly but also incompletely, easily leading to water vapor accumulation and condensation within the air guide, resulting in a poor user experience. When the included angle α > 150°, the tilt angle of the air guide is too small, failing to effectively guide the heat flow and water vapor from the hot air outlet into the air outlet channel, resulting in poor airflow performance and a poor user experience. Therefore, the included angle α between the extension 171 and the guide 172 is preferably set between 120° and 150°, specifically 130°, 135°, etc. In the air fryer, by reasonably setting the included angle between the extension and the guide, the resistance during airflow discharge can be reduced, allowing the heat flow and water vapor flowing from the hot air outlet to be discharged faster and better, effectively improving airflow efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet area at the air outlet 15 is S, which satisfies 1600mm². 2 ≤S≤1800mm 2 When the air outlet area S at the air outlet 15 is less than 1600 mm² 2 When the air outlet area is small, the airflow speed is slow, and water vapor cannot be fully discharged, resulting in condensation in the air outlet channel and the air guide. When the air outlet area S > 1800 mm² 2 At this time, the air outlet 15 occupies a large area on the body 10, which not only easily affects the overall aesthetics of the body 10, but also easily affects other structures of the body 10; therefore, the air outlet area S at the air outlet 15 is preferably 1600mm². 2 ~1800mm 2 Specifically, the air outlet area S at the air outlet 15 is 1650 mm². 2 1700mm 2 1750mm 2 By reasonably setting the air outlet 15, the heat flow and water vapor flowing out of the hot air outlet 113 can be discharged faster and better, effectively improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Appendix Figure 5 To be continued Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a highly practical air fryer provided by this utility model. The air fryer in the second embodiment has some structural and functional similarities to the air fryer in the first embodiment, which will not be described again here. The difference between the air fryer in the second embodiment and the air fryer in the first embodiment lies in the different installation methods of the cooking cavity 11 and the frying basket 20.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the air fryer includes a body 10A, a cooking cavity 11A with an opening on the inner side of the body 10A, and a frying basket 20A that is detachably suspended from the top opening of the cooking cavity 11A through the side opening. The frying basket 20A includes a pot body 21A made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy or copper-iron alloy. The bottom of the cooking cavity 11A is provided with a plurality of support members 18A that protrude from the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A and extend toward the side opening. The pot body 21A of the frying basket 20A is adapted to be suspended in the cooking cavity 11A through the support members 18A. In the air fryer, the support member 18A is adapted to guide the installation of the frying basket 20A. By guiding the installation of the frying basket 20A through the support member 18A, the installation difficulty of the frying basket 20A can be effectively reduced, improving the user experience. At the same time, the support member 18A is also adapted to support the installation of the frying basket 20A. By supporting the installation of the frying basket 20A through the support member 18A, the friction between the bottom wall of the pot body 21A and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the bottom wall of the pot body 21A and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A, and reducing the resistance encountered by the pot body 21A during installation and disassembly, thus making the installation and disassembly of the pot body 21A easier. Furthermore, by supporting the frying basket 20A with the support member 18A, it is possible to better control the distance between the bottom wall of the frying basket 20A and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A, so that the high temperature inside the pot body 21A can be better transferred to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A through the bottom wall of the pot body 21A, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A and reducing the probability of water vapor condensing on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A. It is also possible to lift the pot body 21A to reduce the gap between the top opening of the pot body 21A and the air duct plate 12A, thereby reducing the probability of water vapor in the pot body 21A flowing out to the bottom of the cooking cavity 11A and forming condensate at the bottom of the cooking cavity 11A.

[0041] like Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the cooking cavity 11A is provided with a plurality of downwardly recessed mounting grooves 114A, and the support member 18A is at least partially confined within the mounting grooves 114A. The mounting groove 114A is adapted to conceal the support member 18A. By providing the mounting groove 114A at the bottom of the cooking cavity 11A and placing at least part of the support member 18A within the mounting groove 114A, at least part of the support member 18A can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air fryer. Simultaneously, the mounting groove 114A is adapted to position the support member 18A during installation, effectively reducing the difficulty of installation. Furthermore, the mounting groove 114A is also adapted to limit the installation of the support member 18A, preventing it from sliding freely during installation and effectively improving the connection stability between the support member 18A and the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11A.
