Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and particularly to a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] As a modern popular kitchenware, an air fryer generates hot air by heating a heat pipe inside the machine at a high temperature, and then uses a blower to blow the high-temperature air into the pot to heat food, so that the hot air circulates in a closed space, and the food is fried by the oil in the food itself, thereby dehydrating the food and forming a crispy surface layer on the surface of the food, locking the moisture inside the ingredients, and achieving the crispy and fragrant taste of ordinary fried food.

[0003] However, after the air fryer finishes baking and frying, when cleaning the fryer, water or cleaning agents used for cleaning are likely to enter the inside of the fryer and come into contact with the heating component part, thereby causing an electrical short circuit, which is relatively dangerous. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of the risk of short circuit in the cleaning process of the existing air fryer, so as to provide a cooking device.

[0005] This embodiment provides a cooking device, including: a cover body, which is internally provided with a heating component and a first ultrasonic cleaning device, and the first ultrasonic cleaning device is suitable for cleaning the heating component; a pot body, which is arranged in cooperation with the cover body.

[0006] The first ultrasonic cleaning device includes: a lifting component; an ultrasonic generating member, which is arranged inside the cover body and has a cleaning state of abutting against the heating component under the action of the lifting component and a standby state of being away from the heating component.

[0007] The heating component includes: a blower, which is arranged on the inner top wall of the cover body and is suitable for blowing air into the pot body; a heating member, which is arranged below the blower and is suitable for heating the air flow blown out by the blower; an isolation net, which is arranged below the heating member and is suitable for isolating the heating member and the pot body.

[0008] The heating member and the isolation net are arranged in a fitting manner, and the ultrasonic generating member is arranged between the heating member and the blower and abuts against the heating member in the cleaning state.

[0009] A heat insulation clamping structure is arranged on the lower side of the ultrasonic generating member, and in the cleaning state, the heat insulation clamping structure is connected with the heating member in a limiting manner.

[0010] The first ultrasonic cleaning device further includes a measuring component, and the measuring component includes: a measuring piece, which is arranged adjacent to the heating component; a detecting piece, which is communicatively connected with the lifting component and is suitable for detecting the weight of the measuring piece.

[0011] The measuring assembly further includes a self-cleaning member adapted to clean the measuring piece.

[0012] The measuring assembly further includes a temperature detection device adapted to detect the temperature of the heating member.

[0013] A second ultrasonic cleaning device is provided on the pot body, and the second ultrasonic cleaning device is adapted to clean the pot body.

[0014] A partition rack is further provided inside the pot body.

[0015] The cooking device further includes a control member, and the control member is communicatively connected to the blower, the heating member, the lifting assembly, the ultrasonic generating member, the detecting member, the self-cleaning member, the temperature detection device, and the second ultrasonic cleaning device respectively.

[0016] The cooking device is an air fryer.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The cooking device provided by the present invention includes: a lid body with a heating assembly and a first ultrasonic cleaning device built therein, and the first ultrasonic cleaning device is adapted to clean the heating assembly; a pot body cooperatively provided with the lid body.

[0019] By providing the first ultrasonic cleaning device on the lid body, ultrasonic energy can be transmitted to the heating assembly through its own high-frequency vibration, so that the oil stains attached to the heating assembly are broken, emulsified and peeled off. Moreover, during the cleaning process, there is no need for cleaning water or liquid cleaning agent to participate, thereby avoiding the occurrence of electrical short circuits caused by partial contact between the water liquid and the heating assembly inside the lid body, and improving the safety of the cooking device.

[0020] 2. The cooking device provided by the present invention, the first ultrasonic cleaning device includes: a lifting assembly; an ultrasonic generating member provided inside the lid body, having a cleaning state of abutting against the heating assembly under the action of the lifting assembly, and a standby state of being away from the heating assembly.

[0021] By providing the lifting assembly in cooperation with the ultrasonic generating member, the ultrasonic generating member is driven to switch between the cleaning state of cleaning the heating assembly and the standby state of being away from the heating assembly, avoiding the situation of high-temperature damage caused by the long-term contact between the ultrasonic generator and the heating component.

[0022] 3. The cooking device provided by the present invention, a heat insulation clamping structure is provided on the lower side of the ultrasonic generating member, and in the cleaning state, the heat insulation clamping structure is in limit connection with the heating member.

[0023] The setting of the heat insulation clamping structure enables the ultrasonic generating component to be clamped and positioned with the heating component in the cleaning state on one hand, so that its high-frequency vibration can be effectively transmitted to the heating component and the isolation net, avoiding dislocation and skew of the ultrasonic generating component and reducing its cleaning effect. On the other hand, such a setting can play a partial heat insulation effect, avoiding the influence of the temperature of the heating component on the cleaning level of the ultrasonic generating component.

[0024] 4. The cooking device provided by the present invention, wherein the first ultrasonic cleaning device further includes a measuring component, and the measuring component includes: a measuring piece, which is arranged adjacent to the heating component; a detecting piece, which is communicatively connected with the lifting component and is adapted to detect the weight of the measuring piece.

[0025] By setting the measuring component, the detecting piece detects the total weight of the measuring piece and the adhered oil stains, and compares it with the weight of the measuring piece without adhered oil stains, so as to determine whether it is necessary to start the first ultrasonic cleaning device for cleaning. Such a setting realizes automatic measurement and automatic cleaning of the oil stain situation on the heating component, and improves the automation level of the cleaning of the cooking device.

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] As Figure 1 - Figure 5 shown, this embodiment provides a cooking device, specifically an air fryer, which can also be a cooking device such as an electric frying pan, an electric steamer, a pressure cooker, etc., and includes:

[0039] The cover body 1 is arranged in a barrel shape with an opening facing downwards, and is internally provided with a heating component and a first ultrasonic cleaning device. The heating component includes a blower 3, a heating element 4, and an isolation net 5. The blower 3 is arranged on the inner top wall of the cover body 1 and can blow air towards the lower pot body 2. The heating element 4, specifically a heating plate, is arranged in a multi-circular ring shape or a spiral shape below the blower 3 and can heat the air flow blown out by the blower 3. The isolation net 5 is arranged at the barrel opening position below the heating element 4 and can isolate the heating element 4 and the pot body 2. The first ultrasonic cleaning device is adapted to clean the heating component by generating high-frequency vibrations.

[0040] The pot body 2 includes an outer cylinder and an inner pot. The outer cylinder is cooperatively connected with the cover body 1. A switch member is also arranged on the cover body 1 to control the opening and closing of the outer cylinder and the cover body 1. In this embodiment, a second ultrasonic cleaning device 10 is also attached to the bottom side of the outer wall of the inner pot to clean the inner pot. A partition rack 11 is also arranged inside the inner pot to place cooking ingredients for cooking.

[0041] By arranging the first ultrasonic cleaning device on the cover body 1, ultrasonic energy can be transmitted to the heating component through its own high-frequency vibration, so that the oil stains attached to the heating component are broken, emulsified, and peeled off. During the cleaning process, there is no need for cleaning water or liquid cleaning agents to participate, thereby avoiding the situation that the water liquid contacts the heating component part inside the cover body 1 and causing electrical short circuits, and improving the safety of the cooking device.

[0042] The first ultrasonic cleaning device includes a lifting component and an ultrasonic generating member 6. The lifting component can be devices such as an electric push rod, a cylinder, or a robotic arm, specifically an electric push rod. The ultrasonic generating member 6 is arranged inside the cover body 1 and has a cleaning state of abutting against the heating component under the action of the lifting component and a standby state of being away from the heating component. By arranging the lifting component in cooperation with the ultrasonic generating member 6, the ultrasonic generating member 6 is driven to switch between the cleaning state of cleaning the heating component and the standby state of being away from the heating component, avoiding the situation that the ultrasonic generator is damaged at high temperature due to long-term contact with the heating component.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heating element 4 and the isolation net 5 are attached. The ultrasonic generating member 6 is arranged between the heating element 4 and the blower 3 and abuts against the heating element 4 in the cleaning state. Such an arrangement enables the ultrasonic generating member 6 to vibrate together with the heating element 4 to clean the heating element 4 and the isolation net 5 simultaneously when it contacts the heating element 4. Further, when the blower 3 stops rotating, the ultrasonic generating member 6 can also rise to the position of the blower 3 to clean the blower 3.

[0044] A heat insulation clamping structure 7 is arranged below the ultrasonic generating member 6. The heat insulation clamping structure 7 is arranged in a groove shape with an opening facing downwards. In the cleaning state, the heat insulation clamping structure 7 is connected with the outer ring of the edge of the heating element 4 in a limiting manner.

[0045] The provision of the heat insulation clamping structure 7 enables the ultrasonic generating element 6 to be limit-clamped to the heating element 4 in the cleaning state, allowing its high-frequency vibration to be effectively transmitted to the heating element 4 and the isolation net 5, preventing the ultrasonic generating element 6 from being displaced or skewed and reducing its cleaning effect. On the other hand, this arrangement can achieve a partial heat insulation effect, preventing the temperature of the heating element 4 from affecting the cleaning level of the ultrasonic generating element 6.

[0046] The first ultrasonic cleaning device further includes a measuring assembly, which includes a measuring piece 8 and a detecting element 9. The measuring piece 8 is arranged in the form of a thin metal sheet on the inner side wall of the cover body 1. In this embodiment, the measuring piece 8 is arranged between the heating element 4 and the blower 3 and is adjacent to the heating element 4. The detecting element 9 is specifically a weight detector, which is electrically connected to the lifting assembly and can detect the weight of the measuring piece 8.

[0047] By providing the measuring assembly, the detecting element 9 detects the total weight of the measuring piece 8 and the oil stains adhered thereto, and compares it with the weight of the measuring piece 8 without adhered oil stains, so as to determine whether it is necessary to start the first ultrasonic cleaning device for cleaning. This arrangement realizes the automatic measurement and automatic cleaning of the oil stain condition on the heating assembly, improving the automation level of the cleaning of the cooking device.

[0048] In this embodiment, the measuring assembly further includes a self-cleaning element, specifically the ultrasonic generating element 6, which can clean the measuring piece 8. With this arrangement, after cooking is completed and the detecting element 9 has finished detecting, the measuring piece 8 can be cleaned without water.

[0049] In addition, the measuring assembly further includes a temperature detecting device, which can detect the temperature of the heating plate. When the temperature detecting device detects that the heat of the heating plate is lower than the preset temperature value after cooking is completed, it can control the lifting device to move the ultrasonic generating element 6 to the position of the heating plate to start measurement. As an alternative embodiment, the temperature detecting device may not be provided, and by additionally providing a timer, after a preset time period, the ultrasonic generating element 6 can be controlled to move.

[0050] In this embodiment, a second ultrasonic cleaning device 10 is provided on the pot body 2. The second ultrasonic cleaning device 10 is arranged on the outer bottom wall of the pot body 2 and can clean the pot body 2 and the partition rack 11 arranged inside the pot body 2 through high-frequency vibration.

[0051] The cooking device further includes a control element, which can specifically be a single-chip microcomputer, a PLC or a remote PC terminal, etc. In this embodiment, it is a single-chip microcomputer. The control element is respectively in communication connection with the blower 3, the heating element 4, the lifting assembly, the ultrasonic generating element 6, the detecting element 9, the self-cleaning element, the temperature detecting device and the second ultrasonic cleaning device 10. In this embodiment, the communication connection can be in the form of electrical connection or wireless remote connection, etc. The specific connection method with each device can be adjusted adaptively according to the device model, etc.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or alterations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or alterations derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
