Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and more particularly to a multifunctional cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing variety of home appliances on the market, and many of them being purchased to improve the quality of life, the number of home appliances in households has increased, leading to storage difficulties.

[0003] The main problem stems from the limited functionality of some products, with each machine offering only one function. While the market is seeing a rise in multi-functional home appliances, most of these products are merely designed to achieve multiple functions, such as multi-functional cooking machines and air fryers. They either require replacing the lid or other components, or only one function works while another is somewhat useless. Alternatively, the pursuit of multiple functions can create additional drawbacks, such as cumbersome operation, difficulty in cleaning, or shortened lifespan. Clearly, these products are not what consumers expect.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing cooking appliances typically use a flip-top opening method, which causes high-temperature steam to rush upwards when the lid is opened, easily scalding the user. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a cooking appliance that integrates the functions of stir-frying and air frying, and opens the lid by lifting and suspending to avoid the safety hazard of burns.

[0006] A cooking utensil, comprising,

[0007] The machine base is provided with a pot placement position;

[0008] The pot body assembly can be placed into the pot placement position and form a sealed space between itself and the machine body for cooking food;

[0009] The first functional module includes a stirring component and a first heating component; the first heating component conducts heat to the pot body component, and the stirring component extends into the pot body component to stir the food inside the pot body component, so that the pot body component has a stir-frying function.

[0010] The second functional module includes a second heating element; the second heating element can generate hot air to deliver hot air to the pot body assembly, so that the pot body assembly has the function of an air fryer.

[0011] The base includes an upper cover and a base, and the upper cover and the base are connected by a telescopic support arm, so that the upper cover can be suspended in any position relative to the base.

[0012] A further configuration of the above technical solution is as follows: the support arm is a telescopic arm, which can drive the upper cover to move up and down relative to the base; the support arm includes a fixed arm and a movable arm that can move relative to each other; the fixed arm is provided with a first adsorption element, and the movable arm is provided with a second adsorption element; the movable arm can be suspended under the magnetic attraction of the first adsorption element and the second adsorption element.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a telescopic arm is set to allow the upper cover to move up and down relative to the base. This lifting method protects the user from the high temperature burns at the bottom of the upper cover. Compared with the traditional side-flipping lifting method, it has better mechanical stability, ensuring that the center of gravity of the cooking appliance is always in the middle position.

[0014] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the first adsorption element is disposed on the side of the second adsorption element.

[0015] A further configuration of the above technical solution is as follows: the cookware placement position is located between the upper cover and the base, the cookware assembly can be embedded in the cookware placement position, and the upper cover covers the opening of the cookware assembly to form a sealed space; the first heating element and the second heating element are located in the base.

[0016] A further provision of the above technical solution is as follows: the base is provided with a first heating chamber and a second heating chamber, the first heating component is located in the first heating chamber, and the second heating component is located in the second heating chamber; the support arm is provided with an air duct, and the air duct connects the second heating chamber, the cookware placement position, and the external air.

[0017] A further configuration of the above technical solution is as follows: the second heating component includes a heating tube and a fan. The fan, driven by a motor, drives the air in the second heating chamber to form an airflow, which is then heated by the heating tube to form hot air that enters the air duct.

[0018] A further configuration of the above technical solution is as follows: the air duct includes an air inlet channel and an air outlet channel, the air inlet channel delivers external air to the second heating chamber, and the air outlet channel delivers hot air to the cookware placement position.

[0019] A further provision of the above technical solution is that: the upper cover is provided with a lower air hole, the air inlet channel is connected to the upper cover, and hot air is delivered to the cookware installation position through the lower air hole.

[0020] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the stirring component is detachably mounted on the upper cover and extends below the upper cover through the lower air hole, and is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0021] A further provision of the above technical solution is that: a filter assembly is provided on the upper cover, and the filter assembly connects the cookware placement position with the outside air; when the cookware assembly is placed in the cookware placement position for food processing, the generated oil fumes are discharged to the outside through the filter assembly.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. A telescopic arm is installed, and the opening method is set to lifting. The suction effect inside the telescopic arm makes opening the lid easier and allows the lid to be suspended at any position, making it convenient for users to operate without being scalded by steam.

[0024] 2. Combining the stir-fry and air fryer functions into one cooking appliance, achieving multi-functionality, and making the appliance very easy to clean with no hard-to-reach areas;

[0025] 3. The filter component allows the cooking machine to exhaust and collect oil fumes and water vapor, eliminating the poor taste of food caused by fully enclosed stir-frying. After removing the filter component, it can also serve as a window for adding ingredients and observing the state of the food in the pot.

[0026] 4. A movable arm is installed inside the fixed arm, and the air duct is located inside the movable arm to isolate heat and prevent the outer casing from getting too hot to touch. Attached Figure Description

[0041] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a cooking utensil.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cooking utensil includes,

[0044] The machine base 100 is provided with a pot placement position a;

[0045] The pot body assembly 200 can be placed into the pot placement position a and form a sealed space with the machine body for cooking food;

[0046] The first functional module includes a stirring component 300 and a first heating component 400; the first heating component 400 conducts heat to the pot body assembly 200, and the stirring component 300 extends into the pot body assembly 200 to stir the food inside the pot body assembly 200, so that the pot body assembly 200 has a stir-frying function.

[0047] The second functional module includes a second heating element 600; the second heating element 600 can generate hot air to deliver hot air to the pot body assembly 200, so that the pot body assembly 200 has the function of an air fryer.

[0048] The base 100 includes an upper cover 110 and a base 120, and the upper cover 110 and the base 120 are telescopically connected by a support arm 500, so that the upper cover 110 can be suspended at any position relative to the base 120.

[0049] The support arm 500 is a telescopic arm that can drive the upper cover 110 to move up and down relative to the base 120. The support arm 500 includes a fixed arm 520 and a movable arm 510 that can move relative to each other. The fixed arm 520 is provided with a first adsorption member 540, and the movable arm 510 is provided with a second adsorption member 530. The movable arm 510 can be suspended under the magnetic attraction of the first adsorption member 540 and the second adsorption member 530.

[0050] The above is the basic solution of the present invention. When the stir-fry function is needed, the pot assembly 200200 is removed from the cookware placement position aa, food is placed in it and then it is put back in. The stir-fry function command key on the base 100 is turned on, and the first function module is activated. That is, the first heating element 400 provides heat to the pot assembly 200, and the stirring element 300 stirs the food in the pot assembly 200 to perform the stir-fry action. When the air fryer function is needed, the pot assembly 200 is removed from the cookware placement position a, food is placed in it and then it is put back in. The air fryer command key on the base 100 is turned on, and the second function module is activated. That is, the second heating element 600 generates hot air and delivers the hot air into the pot assembly 200 to process the food. In this function, the user can also disassemble the stirring element.

[0051] Preferably, the first adsorption element 540 is disposed on the side of the second adsorption element 530.

[0052] When the top cover 110 is not open, the first suction member 540 and the second suction member 530 are misaligned, and the top cover 110 assembly is only subject to gravity. When the top cover 110 assembly is lifted a certain distance, a horizontal magnetic force is generated between the first suction member 540 and the second suction member 530. The magnetic force causes friction between the movable arm 510 and the surface of the first suction member 540. This frictional resistance is opposite to the direction of gravity, so the user can lift the top cover 110 with a small force. At the same time, the top cover 110 can stop at any position under the action of magnetic force, realizing the suspension of the top cover 110.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first adsorption element 540 is an iron sheet, and the second adsorption element 530 is a magnet. The magnet is relatively small. When the upper cover 110 is in the closed position, the magnet is located below the iron sheet and is misaligned with the iron sheet.

[0054] When closing the top cover 110, first press the top cover 110 downwards. As described above, after a magnetic force is generated between the first suction member 540 and the second suction member 530, the user can move the top cover 110 downwards with a small force. When the top cover 110 moves close to the closing position, the first suction member 540 and the second suction member 530 are misaligned, the horizontal magnetic force disappears, and at this time the top cover 110 automatically falls down and closes under the action of gravity.

[0055] The cookware placement position a is located between the upper cover 110 and the base 120. The cookware assembly can be embedded in the cookware placement position a. The upper cover 110 covers the opening of the cookware assembly to form a sealed space. The first heating element 400 and the second heating element 600 are located in the base 120.

[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the cookware assembly is pushed into the cookware placement position a between the upper cover 110 and the base 120, and is supported on the edge of the base 120. A micro switch is provided on the edge of the base 120. The internal circuit can only be turned on when the cookware assembly presses the micro switch.

[0057] Meanwhile, in some other possible embodiments, the second heating component 600 may also be disposed within the upper cover 110.

[0058] Preferably, the cookware assembly in this embodiment includes a pot body, which can be made of aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, or a non-metal with good thermal conductivity.

[0059] The base 120 is provided with a first heating chamber 101 and a second heating chamber 102. The first heating component 400 is located in the first heating chamber 101 and the second heating component 600 is located in the second heating chamber 102. The support arm 500 is provided with an air duct, and the air duct connects the second heating chamber 102, the cookware placement position a, and the outside air.

[0060] Specifically, the second heating component 600 includes a heating tube 610 and a fan 620. Driven by the motor 310, the fan 620 drives the air in the second heating chamber 102 to form an airflow, which is heated by the heating tube 610 and forms hot air that enters the air duct.

[0061] In air fryer mode, the fan 620 rotates under the drive of the fan 620 motor 310, driving the air in the second heating chamber to form an airflow. After being heated by the heating tube 610, the airflow forms hot air and enters the air duct.

[0062] The air duct includes an air inlet channel 502 and an air outlet channel 501. The air inlet channel 502 delivers external air to the second heating chamber 102, and the air outlet channel 501 delivers hot air to the cookware placement position a.

[0063] The upper cover 110 is provided with a downdraft hole, and the air inlet channel 502 is connected to the upper cover 110, and hot air is delivered to the cookware installation position through the downdraft hole.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, to prevent the motor 310 from coming into contact with hot air, a heat insulation cover 111 is also provided inside the upper cover 110. The motor 310 is located outside the heat insulation cover 111, and the air inlet channel 502 is connected to the heat insulation cover 111. Hot air enters the heat insulation cover 111 from the air outlet channel 501, and then enters the inner cavity of the cookware assembly from the lower air hole.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the stirring component 300, a spatula sleeve 112 is provided inside the upper cover 110110. The spatula sleeve 112 is provided with a connecting hole. The output shaft of the motor 310 and the upper end of the stirring component 300 respectively extend into the connecting hole. When the output shaft of the motor 310 rotates, it drives the spatula sleeve 112 and the stirring component 300 to rotate together.

[0066] Meanwhile, a top holding member is provided inside the upper cover 110 on the side of the spatula sleeve 112, and a spring 114 is provided on the top holding member. A limiting ring groove b is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the spatula sleeve 112, and the end of the top holding member extends into the limiting ring groove b to limit the spatula sleeve 112.

[0067] When the spatula sleeve 112 rotates, the top holding part is always locked in the limiting ring groove b, which makes the rotation of the spatula sleeve 112 relatively stable and reduces shaking.

[0068] The inner cavity of the top cover 110 has a mounting position for installing the spatula sleeve 112 and the top support, and the motor 310 is located above the heat insulation cover 111.

[0069] When the stirring component 300 is removed from the upper cover 110, the cookware assembly can be inserted into the cookware mounting position with the upper cover 110 closed, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0070] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the telescopic arm is hollow, and the air inlet channel 502 and the air outlet channel 501 are located in the two telescopic arms respectively. Hot air enters the air outlet channel 501 and enters the inner cavity of the cookware assembly from the top cover 110 along the air outlet channel 501.

[0071] Meanwhile, the air in the inner cavity enters the second heating chamber through the air inlet channel 502 in another telescopic arm, replenishing the air in the second heating chamber and forming an airflow circulation.

[0072] In other embodiments, the second heating chamber can be located inside the upper cover 110, with the fan 620 and heating tube both located inside the upper cover 110. Hot air generated inside the upper cover 110 directly enters the inner cavity of the cookware assembly through the lower air vent. The air in the inner cavity of the cookware assembly then replenishes the air inside the upper cover 110 by passing through the two telescopic arms, forming an airflow circulation.

[0073] The stirring component 300 is detachably mounted on the upper cover 110 and extends below the upper cover 110 through the lower air hole, and is driven to rotate by the motor 310.

[0074] To achieve smokeless food processing using cooking utensils, refer to Figure 5 As shown, a filter assembly 700 is provided on the upper cover 110, which connects the cookware placement position a with the outside air; when the pot body assembly 200 is placed in the cookware placement position a for food processing, the generated oil fumes are discharged to the outside through the filter assembly 700.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the filter assembly 700 is divided into a filter box 710, a box cover 720, and several filter elements 730. The filter box 710 is also provided with an oil-water collection chamber, and the filter cover is provided with an exhaust port. The filter material includes a filter screen, electronic adsorption, and food-grade oil-water adsorption material.

[0076] Preferably, in this embodiment, the filter assembly 700 is mounted on one side of the upper cover 110, that is, a passage is provided on one side of the upper cover 110, one end of which connects to the outside and the other end to the inner cavity of the cookware assembly. Oil fumes and water vapor generated in the inner cavity of the cookware assembly can be discharged through this passage. The filter assembly 700 is set on this passage mainly to filter oil fumes and water vapor and collect them into the filter assembly 700. By disassembling the filter assembly 700, the state of the food in the pot can be directly observed, and food, water, seasonings, etc. can also be added to the pot through this passage.

[0077] Preferably, a thermostat is also provided below the filter assembly 700 to monitor the temperature of the oil fumes and air inside the pot in real time. A humidity sensor can also be provided to monitor the humidity of the exhaust port and intelligently judge the quality of the food.

[0078] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
