Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to household appliances, and in particular to a drawer-type air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, a drawer-type air fryer includes a main body and a pot body. The main body has an opening on its side, and the pot body includes an inner pot and a handle assembly connected to the inner pot. The inner pot extends into a receiving cavity inside the main body through the opening. The handle assembly cooperates with the edge of the opening to close it, forming a cooking cavity inside the inner pot. A hot air assembly is located above the cooking cavity inside the main body, and the hot air generated by the hot air assembly is input into the cooking cavity to cook the food. For example, in the air fryer disclosed in CN209712627U, the position of the hot air assembly is generally not lower than the top surface of the handle assembly. The hot air assembly generally includes a fan and a heating element. The fan is driven by a motor, and the motor is controlled by a circuit board. In order to dissipate heat from the motor and the circuit board, a heat dissipation cavity is designed above the pot body, requiring more space to install various components, resulting in a relatively high main body, giving users a bulky feeling. Furthermore, since the motor is a heavy component, its high position inside the main body raises the center of gravity of the main body. During operation, placing food inside the inner pot lowers the center of gravity to a certain height. However, due to the high position of the motor, the vibration generated is greater, which is more likely to affect the entire machine, resulting in louder noise during operation. After the inner pot is removed, the machine becomes top-heavy and easily tipped over with even a slight impact, resulting in damage to the machine. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drawer-type air fryer that solves the problem of the machine feeling bulky to users, while lowering the center of gravity of the machine, increasing the stability of the machine, reducing vibration and noise during operation, and making the machine less likely to tip over after the inner pot is removed.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drawer-type air fryer, comprising a cooking chamber and a hot air assembly located above the cooking chamber, wherein hot air generated by the hot air assembly is input into the cooking chamber to cook food, the cooking chamber includes an inner pot for placing food, and a handle assembly is connected to the outside of the inner pot, the drawer-type air fryer is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the inner pot, the outer wall of the drawer-type air fryer shell is provided with an opening for the inner pot to be inserted into the receiving cavity, the top surface of the handle assembly is higher than the upper edge of the inner pot, the hot air assembly is recessed relative to the top surface of the handle assembly and the upper edge of the opening, the top surface of the handle assembly cooperates with the upper edge of the opening to shield the hot air assembly, the height of the drawer-type air fryer is H1, the height difference between the upper edge of the opening and the top surface of the drawer-type air fryer is H2, and H2 = 0~0.35H1.

[0005] Furthermore, the hot air assembly includes an air guide shroud, which includes a downwardly extending lower protrusion, the lower edge of which is lower than the upper edge of the opening, and the hot air assembly is disposed within the lower protrusion.

[0006] Furthermore, a shielding member is provided below the upper edge of the opening to block the lower protrusion, and the top of the handle assembly is laterally blocked on the outside of the shielding member.

[0007] Furthermore, the shielding member includes a flange extending upward from the lower edge of the lower protrusion, the flange being integrally formed with the air guide or mounted and connected to the air guide, and the top of the handle assembly being positioned against the flange.

[0008] Furthermore, the shielding member includes a baffle that is connected to the lower edge of the lower protrusion and extends upward, with the top of the handle assembly positioned against the baffle; or, the shielding member includes a flange extending upward from the lower edge of the lower protrusion and a baffle located outside the flange, with the top of the handle assembly positioned against the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the drawer-type air fryer includes an inner shell forming a receiving cavity, with a baffle integrally formed with the inner shell; and / or, the baffle is disposed around the outer periphery of the lower protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, a wind-guiding and heat-insulating ring is formed between the shielding member and the lower protrusion; and / or, a protective net is provided below the hot air assembly, with the edge of the protective net connected to the shielding member.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper edge of the opening is located on the top surface of the drawer-type air fryer, H2=0, and the top surface of the handle assembly is flush with the top surface of the drawer-type air fryer.

[0012] Furthermore, a heat insulation plate is provided above the hot air assembly, and a protective net is provided below the hot air assembly. The edge of the protective net protrudes upward to form an upper convex part, which is connected to the heat insulation plate. The top of the handle assembly is laterally shielded on the outside of the upper convex part. Alternatively, an air guide hood is provided above the hot air assembly, and a protective net is provided below the hot air assembly. The edge of the protective net protrudes upward to form an upper convex part, which is connected to the air guide hood. The top of the handle assembly is laterally shielded on the outside of the upper convex part.

[0013] Furthermore, the drawer-type air fryer includes an inner shell forming a receiving cavity, the inner shell having an integrally formed bottom plate, and the inner pot placed on the bottom plate; or, the drawer-type air fryer includes an inner shell, the bottom of which is connected to a base and forms a receiving cavity with the base, and the inner pot is placed on the base.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages: by lowering the top surface of the hot air assembly relative to the handle assembly, the hot air assembly can avoid occupying space in the lid of the drawer-type air fryer. Therefore, the height of the lid shell can be compressed, and it no longer surrounds the hot air assembly, thereby reducing the height of the lid shell. At the same time, the upper edge of the opening intersects with the outer side of the drawer-type air fryer to form an exposed line. After the user pushes the inner pot into the receiving cavity, the top surface of the handle assembly matches the upper edge of the opening, forming an exposed mating line between the outer edge of the top surface of the handle assembly and the exposed line. Moreover, because the top surface of the handle assembly is raised compared to the prior art, the height distance from the top surface of the drawer-type air fryer to the mating line is reduced. Without changing the cooking cavity capacity or opening size of the drawer-type air fryer, the user can visually see that the height of the lid shell is reduced, thus making the overall height of the drawer-type air fryer feel lower and no longer bulky. In addition, the top surface of the hot air assembly is recessed relative to the handle assembly. Without changing the inner pot size, this allows it to be closer to the food inside the cooking cavity, improving hot air utilization and further enhancing heating efficiency. Simultaneously, the space originally reserved for the hot air assembly within the lid has been used to install other components, lowering the overall installation height of these components and making the lid thinner. This lowers the lid's center of gravity, ultimately lowering the machine's center of gravity, improving operational stability, and facilitating transportation and storage.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

"And / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, X and / or Y can represent: X alone, X and Y simultaneously, or Y alone.

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the figures. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present invention provides a drawer-type air fryer, including a cooking chamber 200 and a hot air assembly 3 located above the cooking chamber 200. Hot air generated by the hot air assembly 3 is input into the cooking chamber 200 to cook food. The cooking chamber 200 includes an inner pot 2 for placing food, and a handle assembly 21 is connected to the outside of the inner pot 2. The drawer-type air fryer has a receiving cavity 100 for accommodating the inner pot 2, and the outer wall of the drawer-type air fryer shell has an opening 101 for inserting the inner pot 2 into the receiving cavity 100. The top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 is higher than the upper edge 201 of the inner pot 2. The hot air assembly 3 is recessed relative to the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 and the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101. The top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 cooperates with the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 to shield the hot air assembly. The height of the drawer-type air fryer is H1, and the height difference between the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 and the top surface 104 of the drawer-type air fryer is H2, where H2 = 0 to 0.35H1. In this invention, the opening 101 can be understood as a spatial structure enclosed by a ring edge that disrupts the integrity of the outer surface of the machine. However, through the cooperation between the handle assembly and the edge of the opening, the integrity of the outer surface of the machine can be largely restored.

[0033] First, by lowering the top surface 210 of the hot air assembly 3 relative to the handle assembly 21 and the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101, the hot air assembly 3 can be prevented from occupying space inside the lid of the drawer-type air fryer. Therefore, the height of the lid shell can be compressed, and it no longer surrounds the hot air assembly 3, thus reducing the height of the lid shell. Simultaneously, the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 intersects with the outer side of the drawer-type air fryer to form an exposed line. After the user pushes the inner pot 2 into the receiving cavity 100, the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 and the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101... The handle assembly 21 has a 10-way fit, forming an exposed mating line 1011 between the outer edge of the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 and the exposed lines. Because the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 is positioned higher than in the prior art, the height distance from the top surface 104 of the drawer-type air fryer to the mating line 1011 is reduced. Without changing the capacity of the cooking cavity 200 or the size of the opening 101 of the drawer-type air fryer, the user can visually perceive a smaller height of the lid shell, thus making the machine appear lower and less bulky. Since the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 and the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 generally use a clearance fit, the mating line 1011 is actually a gap, thus visually appearing as a line of a certain width.

[0034] Secondly, besides changing the user's sensory experience, in terms of actual structure, the hot air assembly 3 is recessed relative to the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 and the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101. With the inner pot 2 remaining the same size, it can be closer to the food in the cooking cavity 200, which can improve the utilization rate of hot air and further improve heating efficiency. At the same time, the installation space originally reserved for the hot air assembly 3 in the lid is used to install other components. For example, the motor can be installed at a lower position, which reduces the overall installation height of the components in the lid. This not only lowers the center of gravity of the machine, but also makes the lid thinner, reducing the height of the machine and making it lighter. It also improves the stability of the machine's operation. During operation, the vibration of the motor will be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the noise caused by motor vibration. Furthermore, the machine is less likely to tip over after the inner pot is removed, which is also beneficial for transportation and storage.

[0035] Third, the height of the drawer-type air fryer is H1, and the height difference between the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 and the top surface of the drawer-type air fryer is H2, which is equivalent to the height of the lid. Currently, for common drawer-type air fryers on the market with the same 5L capacity, the H2 / H1 ratio can reach more than 40%. However, in this invention, H2 can be controlled within 0.35H1, which significantly reduces the perceived thickness of the lid from the user's perspective. In fact, because the hot air component 3 is not inside the lid, the height of the lid itself is also reduced. Taking the same 5L capacity as an example, the height of the lid can be less than 50mm, and H1 can be designed to be around 200mm. For similar machines with the same capacity, the height of the lid is generally around 150mm, and some can reach 180mm or even close to 200mm, causing the machine height to exceed 300mm. In one embodiment, the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 can be designed to be located on the top surface 104 of the drawer-type air fryer, then H2 = 0, and the top surface 210 of the handle assembly 21 is flush with the top surface 104 of the drawer-type air fryer. Figure 12 As shown.

[0036] Fourth, the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 is higher than that of the hot air assembly 3. Since the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 3 is delivered to the cooking cavity, less heat generated by the hot air assembly 3 will dissipate to the upper edge of the opening 101. This not only improves the utilization rate of hot air and ensures heating efficiency, but also makes the outer surface of the handle assembly 21 less likely to get hot, which can improve the safety of the user.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, in this invention, the outer shell 1 of the drawer-type air fryer may include a cover plate 11, a side plate 12, and a base 13. The top end of the cover plate 11 is connected to the side plate 12, and the bottom end of the side plate 12 is connected to the base 13. After assembly, there are only two relatively small assembly gaps, resulting in a better overall appearance of the machine. The opening 101 can be located on the side of the side plate 12. The cover body refers to the structure between the height of the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 and the upper surface of the cover plate 11, which can be referred to as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The portion within the dashed box acts like a lid, covering the lower receiving cavity 100. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the outer shell 1 of the drawer-type air fryer can also be designed to include a cover 11A, a side panel 12, and a base 13, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the difference between the cover 11A and the cover plate 11 is that the cover 11A has a rim extending downwards to the upper edge of the opening 101. That is, the opening 101 can be formed by the cover 11A and the fuselage side plate 12 together. In this case, the cover body is relatively easier to understand; that is, the structure covered by the cover 11A is also the structure above the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101. In another embodiment, the lower edge of the opening 101 can also be formed by the base plate 13.

[0038] The handle assembly 21 generally includes a handle side plate 211 and a handle part 212. The top of the handle assembly 21 is located at the upper edge of the handle side plate 211. The outer periphery of the handle side plate 211 matches the upper edge of the opening 101. After the inner pot 2 is placed in place, the handle side plate 211 will close the opening 101 (not sealed). At this time, the user can visually see a gap on the outer wall of the machine between the upper edge of the handle side plate 211 and the upper edge of the opening 101. The height difference between this gap and the top surface of the machine is small. The handle part 212 is connected to the outer side of the handle side plate 211. The two can be integrally formed or installed and fixed.

[0039] In one embodiment, to improve the utilization rate and heating efficiency of hot air, a guide hood 4 is typically provided inside the drawer-type air fryer. The guide hood 4 is prior art, and its basic structure will not be described in detail here. The guide hood 4 includes a downwardly extending lower protrusion 41, the lower edge of which is lower than the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101. The hot air assembly 3 is disposed within the lower protrusion 41. The lower protrusion 41 can extend downward and obliquely outward, or it can extend vertically downward; as long as it can guide the hot air to the cooking cavity 200, it will help improve heating efficiency. The lower protrusion 41 can extend directly to the upper edge 201 of the inner pot 2, further improving the utilization rate of hot air.

[0040] After setting the air guide cover 4 and the lower protrusion 41, the hot air component 3 becomes invisible to the user from a normal viewing angle, while the lower protrusion 41 becomes visible. Therefore, a shield can be added on this basis. After the user pulls out the inner pot 2, the shield becomes visible to the user, while the lower protrusion 41 becomes invisible to the user from a normal viewing angle. Specifically, a shield can be provided below the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101 to shield the lower protrusion 41, with the top of the handle component 21 horizontally shielding the outside of the shield. Since the lower protrusion 41 is designed to guide air, its shape is limited. The shield is relatively far from the hot air component 3. As long as it serves a shielding function, it does not need to guide air. The shape, color, and other appearance can be designed to be aesthetically pleasing, so that the user can see a more aesthetically pleasing shield after pulling out the inner pot 2, thus improving the user experience.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the shielding member includes a flange 42 extending upward from the lower edge of the lower protrusion 41, with the top of the handle assembly 21 positioned against the flange 42. The flange 42 can be integrally formed with the air guide shroud 4 and can be installed and fixed along with the air guide shroud 4, thus eliminating the need for separate installation and making processing and installation convenient. It is also feasible to process the flange 42 separately and then install it onto the air guide shroud. The flange 42 can be inclined upward and extended outward, forming a V-shaped connection structure between the lower protrusion 41 and the flange 42. Alternatively, the lower edge of the lower protrusion 41 can first extend laterally outward for a certain distance and then extend upward to form the flange 42, increasing the structural strength of the flange 42 and allowing the flange 42 to be further away from the hot air assembly 3. The flange 42 can also extend vertically upward. The lower edge of the lower protrusion 41 extends laterally for a certain distance to form a lateral extension section 43, which can cooperate with the upper edge 201 of the inner pot 2 to further reduce hot air overflow and improve heating efficiency. In addition, the top of the handle assembly 21 is positioned against the flange 42, which avoids positioning through the inner pot 2, reduces wear on the non-stick coating of the inner pot 2, and the flange 42 also has a certain degree of elasticity, which can reduce noise and vibration when the user pushes the inner pot 2 in, and improve the user experience.

[0042] In a typical drawer-type air fryer, the hot air assembly 3 generally includes a fan 31 and a heating element 32. The fan 31 can be located above the heating element 32 or within the area enclosed by the heating element 32. A heat insulation plate 5 is usually installed above the air guide shroud 4, forming a heat dissipation cavity 102 above the heat insulation plate 5. The motor 33 that drives the fan 31 is installed inside the heat dissipation cavity 102. The upper edge of the flange 42 can be connected to the heat insulation plate 5 or to the outer shell of the lid, i.e., to the side panel 12 of the unit.

[0043] Looking back Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In another embodiment, the shielding member includes a baffle 6 that connects to the lower edge of the lower protrusion 41 and extends upward, with the top of the handle assembly 21 positioned against the baffle 6. The baffle 6 and the air guide shroud 4 are two separately manufactured components, allowing for more diverse designs in terms of shape, color, and other appearance aspects. The baffle 6 can also be made of heat-insulating material, making it less likely for heat to escape from the cavity 100 during machine operation, thus ensuring efficient heat energy utilization. Similarly, the upper edge of the baffle 6 can be connected to the heat insulation plate 5 or to the outer shell of the cover, i.e., to the side plate 12 of the machine body. It is understandable that, based on the flange 42, the structure of the baffle 6 can be further enhanced, and the baffle 6 can also be made of heat-insulating and shock-absorbing materials.

[0044] The baffle 6 can be manufactured and installed separately. It can be fixedly connected to the air guide shroud 4 or the heat insulation plate 5 using screws or clips. In this invention, the drawer-type air fryer includes an inner shell 14 forming a receiving cavity 100. Therefore, in embodiments where the baffle 6 is installed, the baffle 6 can be fixedly connected to the inner shell 14, or as... Figure 3 As shown, the baffle 6 and the inner shell 14 are directly integrally formed, reducing the number of parts and simplifying the installation process.

[0045] In one embodiment, the baffle 6 can be provided only below the upper edge 1010 of the opening 101, i.e., it can be set as an arc-shaped structure to reduce material usage. In another embodiment, the baffle 6 can be designed to surround the outer periphery of the lower protrusion 41. Based on this embodiment, the baffle 6 can form a wind-guiding and heat-insulating ring 103 between itself and the lower protrusion 41, further reducing heat leakage. It is understood that in the embodiment using the flange 42, the flange 42 can be provided only as a section or as a full circle. For example, a flange 42 with a full circle of flange 42... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a wind-guiding and heat-insulating ring 103 can also be formed between the lower protrusion 41 and the ring.

[0046] In one embodiment, the horizontal projection of the fan 31 falls entirely within the horizontal projection of the air-guiding heat insulation ring 103, and the hot air scattered radially outward along the fan 31 is guided and redirected by the air-guiding heat insulation ring 103. (Reference) Figure 7The height of the air guide heat insulation ring 103 is H, and the thickness of the fan 31 is A. The range is 1.5A ≤ H ≤ 3A. Increasing the height of the air guide heat insulation ring 103 facilitates the redirection and guidance of hot air, ensuring its flow into the cooking cavity and improving heat transfer efficiency. It also effectively lowers the height of the hot air assembly, thus contributing to a smaller overall machine height. When H < 1.5A, the air guide heat insulation ring 103 is too small, allowing hot air to easily cross it and blow directly onto the inner wall of the handle assembly, resulting in excessive heat loss. When H > 3A, the air guide heat insulation ring 103 is too large, increasing the height of the air guide cover, which is detrimental to a thinner design and makes transportation and storage inconvenient.

[0047] In one embodiment, a protective net 7 is provided below the hot air assembly 3. The protective net 7 can prevent users from contacting the hot air assembly 3. The edge of the protective net 7 is connected to the shielding member. Generally, a detachable connection method can be selected to facilitate cleaning of the protective net 7.

[0048] In addition to providing a lower protrusion 41 in the air guide shroud 4 to accommodate the hot air assembly 3, in another embodiment, a heat insulation plate 5 can be provided above the hot air assembly 3, and a protective net 7 can be provided below the hot air assembly 3. The edge of the protective net 7 protrudes upward to form an upper protrusion, which is connected to the heat insulation plate 5. The top of the handle assembly 21 is laterally shielded on the outside of the upper protrusion. In another embodiment, an air guide shroud 4 can be provided above the hot air assembly 3, and a protective net 7 can be provided below the hot air assembly 3. The edge of the protective net 7 protrudes upward to form an upper protrusion, which is connected to the air guide shroud 4. The top of the handle assembly 21 is laterally shielded on the outside of the upper protrusion. A baffle 6 can also be added between the upper protrusion and the top of the handle assembly 21 for shielding.

[0049] To reduce costs, the receiving cavity 100 can be formed directly from a single component, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the inner shell 14 can directly form the receiving cavity 100. The inner shell 14 has an integrally formed base plate 141, and the inner pot 2 is placed on the base plate 141. In another embodiment, the receiving cavity 100 can also be formed by several parts. For example, the base plate 141 can also be a separate structure, assembled and fixed with the inner shell 14 to form the receiving cavity 100. Or, for example, the bottom of the inner shell 14 is connected to the base 13 and forms the receiving cavity 100 with the base 13, and the inner pot 2 is placed on the base 13.

[0050] compared to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the upper edge of the opening 101 can be designed to be higher, such as... Figure 11As shown, the height distance from the exposed mating line 1011 to the top surface of the machine is smaller, making the machine cover appear thinner and giving users a lighter feel. Moreover, less heat generated by the hot air component 3 dissipates here, which can further improve the utilization rate of hot air and increase heating efficiency. Furthermore, the outer surface of the handle component is less likely to get hot, which can further improve the safety of user use.

[0051] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, the present invention has other embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
