Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances and relates to a multifunctional air fryer. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer is a machine that can use air to "fry". It mainly uses air to replace the hot oil in the frying pan to cook the food. At the same time, the hot air blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the ingredients achieve an effect similar to that of frying.

[0003] The working principle of the air fryer is "high-speed air circulation technology". It generates hot air by heating the heat pipe inside the machine at high temperature, and then uses a fan to blow the hot air into the pot to heat the food, so that the hot air circulates in a closed space, and uses the fat of the food itself to fry the food, thereby dehydrating the food and making the surface golden and crispy, achieving the effect of frying. However, the current air fryer only has one working chamber. In order to prevent odor contamination, it can only process a certain type or category of food at a time, and the cooking limitations are high. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following is a further detailed description of a multifunctional air fryer proposed by the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in precise proportions, which are only used to facilitate and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention. The same or similar reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent the same or similar components.

[0036] A multifunctional air fryer, such as Figures 1 to 17As shown, it comprises a housing 1, a discharge port 2 opened on one side of the housing 1, and a plurality of heating components arranged in the housing 1, each of the heating components comprises a fan and a heating body located below the fan (the first heating body 6 and the second heating body 8 can both be preferably spiral electric heating coils);

[0037] The frying barrel 3 is in the shape of a cover with an opening facing upward, and a plurality of partitions 4 are vertically arranged on the inner wall of the frying barrel 3, and the partitions 4 divide the frying barrel 3 into a plurality of independent (i.e., not interconnected) heating spaces, and a heating component is provided above each of the heating spaces.

[0038] The heating assembly includes a first fan 5, a first heating body 6, a second fan 7 and a second heating body 8 arranged in the outer shell 1, the first fan 5 is located above the first heating body 6, the second fan 7 is located above the second heating body 8, and the first fan 5 is located on the side of the second fan 7, and the number of the partition 4 is one.

[0039] A support member 9 with an upward U-shaped opening is provided on the inner wall of the frying barrel 3, a support groove 10 is provided in the middle of the support member 9, the bottom and both sides of the partition 4 are engaged in the support groove 10, and the top of the partition 4 is higher than the support member 9, and a sealing member 10a with a W-shaped longitudinal section is horizontally provided on the top of the release port 2, and the top of the partition 4 is engaged in the middle of the sealing member 10a (wherein the length direction of the sealing member 10a is the same as the in-and-out movement direction of the frying barrel 3, so when the frying barrel 3 is placed in the release port 2, the partition 4 can just contact and fit in the middle of the sealing member 10a, and when the frying barrel 3 is pulled out, the partition 4 can also be directly pulled out of the sealing member 10a; at the same time, the end of the sealing member 10a is preferably trumpet-shaped, so that the partition 4 and the sealing member 10a can be easily matched). The support members 9 located on both sides of the support groove 10 are provided with a plurality of support portions 11, and each support portion 11 is horizontally provided with a stabilizing portion 12, and the stabilizing portion 12 passes through the partition 4. A flexible enlarged portion 13 is provided at one end of the stabilizing portion 12 passing through the partition 4, and the flexible enlarged portion 13 abuts against the partition 4.

[0040] The inner wall of the support member 9 is provided with a protrusion 14, the bottom of the protrusion 14 is provided with a protrusion groove 15, the side of the partition 4 is provided with a clearance groove 16 matched with the protrusion 14, and the partition 4 below the clearance groove 16 is vertically provided with a protrusion 17, and the protrusion 17 is engaged in the protrusion groove 15. Two protrusions 14 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the support member 9, and the top of the protrusion groove 15 is located in the middle of the protrusion 14.

[0041] The support member 9 contacts the side wall and the bottom of the frying vat 3, and the inner wall on the opposite side of the frying vat 3 and the bottom of the inner wall are relatively provided with combined rails 18 (the combined rails 18 located on the side of the frying vat 3 must be relatively provided, but the combined rails 18 located at the bottom of the frying vat 3 can be relatively distributed on both sides of the support member 9, or can be staggered, wherein the combined rails 18 in the present application are preferably staggered, as shown in the state of the attached figure; therefore, the combined rails 18 on the side wall and the bottom of the frying vat 3 can well improve and ensure the position stability of the support member 9 and the partition 4, prevent them from shaking or moving, and also play a good barrier effect on the adjacent heating space), and the two sides of the partition 4 are respectively engaged between the two relatively provided combined rails 18. The top of the combined rail 18 is provided with an inclined guide portion 19, and the two guide portions 19 form an inverted figure eight shape.

[0042] A connecting rod 20 is provided on the side of the frying tub 3, and a matching door 21 matching with the discharge port 2 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 20 away from the frying tub 3. There is a set distance between the matching door 21 and the outer wall of the frying tub 3, and a handle 22 is provided on the side of the matching door 21 away from the frying tub 3.

[0043] The multifunctional air fryer provided by the present invention has a separate control switch for each heating component during use. Therefore, in actual use, several heating components can be selected for use, and the power of each heating component is also controlled separately. Therefore, when cooking food, different ingredients can be put into different heating spaces at the same time and then heated at the same time, thereby improving the cooking efficiency. At the same time, because adjacent foods are separated by the partition 4 and the adjacent heating spaces are independent of each other, adjacent foods will not interact with each other, thereby ensuring the processing quality, avoiding odor contamination, and reducing the heat transfer between different heating spaces, so that the temperature in the heating space with a higher temperature can be higher, and the temperature in the heating space with a lower temperature can be lower, thereby ensuring the cooking quality. Moreover, if more food needs to be cooked at one time, the partition 4 can be removed and the same food can be put into the entire frying barrel 3 for cooking, thereby improving the cooking efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, two heating components are included, and at the same time, one partition 4 is included. Of course, other numbers can also be selected according to actual conditions. The shape and principle are consistent with the present application and will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0045] The support member 9 and the partition plate 4 can be separated from the frying barrel 3, so when the frying barrel 3 needs to be used as a cooking unit as a whole, the support member 9 and the partition plate 4 can be directly removed; when the first fan 5, the first heating body 6, the second fan 7 and the second heating body 8 cook both sides of the food, the internal hot air circulation effect can be more comprehensive.

[0046] When taking the support member 9 out of the frying tub 3, it is only necessary to pull out the support member 9 and the partition plate 4 upwards. When the support member 9 is assembled into the frying tub 3, it is only necessary to insert both ends of the support member 9 between two adjacent assembly rails 18 from top to bottom, which is simple and convenient. Moreover, the guide portion 19 at the top of the assembly rail 18 can increase the size of the top opening of the assembly rail 18 and make it easier for the support member 9 to be assembled into the assembly rail 18, thereby improving operability.

[0047] In actual use, the partition 4 is more consumed, so its service life is shorter than that of the support 9 in practice, so the replacement frequency is higher. When replacing, the partition 4 can be directly disassembled and discarded; when the new partition 4 is assembled to the support 9, first insert the edges of the partition 4 into the support groove 10, and at the same time make the flexible expansion part 13 pass through the partition 4 after deformation (the partition 4 is provided with a hole for the flexible expansion part 13 to pass through after deformation), then bend the protrusion 17, and make the protrusion 17 inserted into the protrusion groove 15. At this time, in the vertical direction, the bottom of the support groove 10 limits the downward movement of the partition 4, the protrusion 14 limits the upward movement of the partition 4, and the inner wall of the support groove 10 in the horizontal direction limits the position of the partition 4, so the position of the partition 4 can be stably connected with the support. At the same time, during actual cooking, there is airflow in the heating space, so the partition 4 will also be subjected to horizontal reciprocating blowing, and the support portion 11 can also play a role in supporting the partition 4, thereby further improving the position stability of the partition 4, and also preventing the partition 4 from being deformed, thereby extending the service life of the partition 4. The flexible expansion portion 13 is clamped by both sides of the partition 4, thereby further ensuring the stability of the position and shape of the partition 4.

[0048] When putting the frying bucket 3 into or out of the shell 1, the handle 22 is used. After the frying bucket 3 is put into the shell 1, the door 21 blocks the putting-in opening 2, thereby effectively preventing heat from escaping. Meanwhile, during the cooking process, although the outer wall of the frying bucket 3 will generate high temperature, the connecting rod 20 ensures that there is a distance between the door 21 and the outer wall of the frying bucket 3, thereby effectively preventing the temperature of the frying bucket 3 from being transmitted to the door 21, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0049] In another embodiment, the stabilizing portion 12 and the flexible expanded portion 13 are both made of flexible elastic materials (high temperature resistant flexible food-grade materials), and at the same time there are no corresponding openings on the partition 4. In actual use, the flexible expanded portions 13 on both sides of the partition 4 are in contact with both sides of the partition 4. In this way, the partition 4 can maintain the stability of its own position under the action of the supporting groove 10 and the flexible expanded portion 13, and it is also convenient to remove the partition for replacement or cleaning, which is more convenient to use.

[0050] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0051] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes or modifications made by a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
