Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks food using high-speed hot air circulation technology. It primarily uses hot air (180℃-220℃) to bake the food inside, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior. A key feature of air fryers is that they achieve the same results as deep-frying without the need for frying. Due to these characteristics, along with their ease of use, cleaning, and lack of oil fumes, air fryers have become a popular kitchen appliance among many users.

[0003] Most air fryers on the market consist of three parts: a main unit, a frying pan, and a baking tray. Food is typically placed on the baking tray inside the frying pan, and cooked using hot airflow heated by a hot air assembly. For example, Chinese patent CN220937781U discloses an air fryer including an outer shell, a hot air assembly, a cooking chamber, a frying pan inside the cooking chamber, and a baking tray inside the frying pan. The baking tray includes a tray body and a guide extending from the edge of the tray body away from the center of the tray. In the above-mentioned prior art air fryers, because the baking tray is fixed in place, it is not conducive to even heating of the food.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air fryer that addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides an air fryer, including a main body, an air fryer and a base, wherein the main body has a cavity and the air fryer is detachably placed in the cavity;

[0008] The main body is detachably mounted on the base. The bottom surface of the main body is provided with a through hole. The base is provided with a drive mechanism. The output shaft of the drive mechanism extends through the through hole into the cavity.

[0009] A grill rack is rotatably mounted inside the fryer, and the grill rack is driven to rotate by the output shaft.

[0010] The main body containing the fryer is installed on the base, and the drive mechanism drives the grill to rotate inside the fryer, allowing the food to come into better contact with hot air, which helps the food to be heated evenly and shortens the baking time.

[0011] According to the above scheme, a connecting rod is also included. The grill rack is located at the upper end of the connecting rod, and the lower end of the connecting rod passes through the fryer and is detachably connected to the output shaft of the drive mechanism. With this structural arrangement, by mounting the main body containing the fryer on the base, the output shaft of the drive mechanism can be connected to the connecting rod.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the grill rack is equipped with multiple barbecue skewers, and the upper end of each skewer has a hook that can be detachably connected to the grill rack. With this structural arrangement, food is skewered onto the barbecue skewers and then hung on the grill rack, suspended inside the fryer. This improves the contact between the food and the hot air inside the fryer and makes it easier to remove and eat.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the grill includes multiple fixing ribs, multiple concentric support rings of different diameters, and an assembly part. The multiple fixing ribs are evenly fixed on the assembly part, and the multiple support rings are fixed on the multiple fixing ribs. The assembly part is radially limited and sleeved on the upper end of the connecting rod.

[0014] The above structural design allows for detachable connection between the assembly part and the connecting rod, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the grill and improving ease of use. The grill has a perforated structure, allowing hot air to reach the bottom of food placed on it. Furthermore, the grill's design makes it easy to hang skewers on the support ring and reduces obstruction of hot air.

[0015] According to the above solution, the support ring is provided with a protrusion to block the hook portion. By setting the protrusion, the hook portion can be limited, thereby preventing adjacent barbecue skewers from touching each other during the rotation of the grill, which would affect the baking effect.

[0016] According to the above scheme, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a connector, and the output shaft of the drive mechanism is provided with a fixing hole that mates with the connector.

[0017] By inserting the connector into the fixing hole, the connecting rod can be connected to the output shaft of the drive mechanism for transmission.

[0018] According to the above solution, a fixing frame is detachably fixed to the bottom of the fryer. The fixing frame has an inner hole through which the connecting rod passes, and a bearing is installed inside the inner hole. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the fixing frame via the bearing. This structural design allows the fixing frame to be removed from the bottom of the fryer, improving the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0019] According to the above scheme, the top surface of the base is provided with a positioning boss, and the bottom surface of the main body is provided with a through groove into which the positioning boss can be inserted.

[0020] When the fryer is placed in the cavity, the positioning boss can pass through the through groove into the cavity and contact the fryer, thereby preventing the fryer from coming out of the cavity.

[0021] By setting positioning bosses to limit the fryer, it is impossible to remove the fryer from the cavity when the main body containing the fryer is installed on the base, which helps to improve the safety of use.

[0022] According to the above scheme, a lower coupler is provided on the top surface of the base, and an upper coupler is provided on the bottom surface of the main body to be inserted and cooperate with the lower coupler.

[0023] With the above structural design, when the main body is installed on the base, the upper coupler and the lower coupler are plugged in and engaged, thereby connecting the drive mechanism inside the base to the power supply.

[0024] According to the above scheme, the main body is provided with a micro switch assembly, the upper coupler is electrically connected to the micro switch assembly, the side wall of the positioning boss is provided with a trigger part, and the through groove is connected with a clearance groove; when the positioning boss is inserted into the through groove, the trigger part is inserted into the clearance groove and triggers the micro switch assembly.

[0025] Once the main body is installed in place, the upper and lower couplers are plugged in and engaged. The triggering part then triggers the micro switch assembly, which enables the upper and lower couplers to be electrically connected. This, in turn, connects the drive mechanism inside the base to the power supply, thus improving safety during use.

[0026] According to the above scheme, the micro switch assembly includes a bracket, a micro switch, a movable block and an elastic element. The micro switch is fixed on the bracket, and the movable block is movably disposed on the bracket. A top rod is provided on the side of the movable block near the clearance groove.

[0027] The elastic element acts between the movable block and the bracket respectively, so that the top rod tends to extend into the clearance groove;

[0028] The movable block has a protrusion on the side near the micro switch for turning the micro switch on or off; when the trigger part is inserted into the clearance groove, the trigger part pushes the top rod to trigger the micro switch.

[0029] When the trigger part retracts from the clearance groove, the protrusion disconnects the micro switch under the action of elasticity, causing the drive mechanism to stop working.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0031] This utility model features a main body that can be detachably mounted on a base. The bottom surface of the main body has a through hole, and a drive mechanism is located inside the base. The output shaft of the drive mechanism extends through the through hole into the cavity. A grill rack is rotatably mounted inside the fryer, and the grill rack is driven to rotate by the output shaft. This allows the main body containing the fryer to be mounted on the base, and the grill rack to rotate inside the fryer via the drive mechanism, enabling the food to better contact with hot air, thus promoting even heating of the food and shortening the baking time.
