Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a multifunctional foldable cooking device. Background Art

[0002] The air fryer includes a heating element and an air circulation component. The heating element generates heat, and the air circulation component blows the heat generated by the heating element toward the food, allowing the fat in the food to evaporate. At the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the ingredients achieve an effect similar to frying, thereby quickly heating and crisping the food.

[0003] However, the existing air fryer has only one baking chamber, and its function is relatively simple, which can only meet the demand of baking food. When the user needs to perform other cooking functions, he must purchase this type of cooking equipment separately, which not only increases the purchase cost of the user, but also requires various electrical appliances to occupy more space.

[0004] For example, the patent with the announcement number CN114468795A discloses a flip-top multifunctional air fryer, which includes a pot, a machine head, a base, and a side panel arranged between the machine head and the base.

In this application, the cooking function of the air fryer is expanded through structural improvements. Without adding other heating elements, the air fryer has multiple functions such as frying, steaming, boiling, frying, and baking, achieving the purpose of one machine with multiple uses. Users can rotate the machine head and select pots according to cooking needs, so that the air fryer can better meet the needs of users.

[0005] The above-mentioned air fryer has multiple functions, but when the bottom opening of the machine head is facing downward, it can only perform air frying operation, the cooking function is single, and the height space occupied is large, which is inconvenient for storage; in addition, when the bottom opening of the machine head is facing upward, a handle is required for support, and the installation position of the handle also needs to be considered, and the operation steps are relatively cumbersome.

[0017] Optionally, a handle is provided on the cover body, and when the cover body is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base, the handle is located on the top of the cover body.

[0018] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. When the cover is flipped and folded above the base, a cooking cavity is formed between the cover and the base, and the third heating component is used to fry and roast food in the cooking cavity, and a cooking vessel can be placed above the cover, and the second heating component can be operated alone to cook food in the cooking vessel, such as frying, roasting, stir-frying, stewing, steaming, boiling and other cooking functions. The second heating component and the third heating component can work simultaneously or separately, which is convenient to use.

[0020] When the cover is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base, the cooking vessel can be placed on the base, and the heat generated by the first heating component can perform air frying operation on the food in the cooking vessel; when the cover is unfolded to one side of the base, the first heating component is arranged upward, and the cooking vessel can be placed above the first heating component so that the first heating component can heat the food, and the first heating component and the third heating component can cook the food separately, and two cooking methods can be used at the same time and switched at will.

[0021] Through the cooperation of the cover and the base, the cooking device has different shapes, and with the first heating component, the second heating component and the third heating component, it can achieve the effect of one machine with multiple uses, and when the cover is folded, it is also convenient for storage, truly realizing a multi-functional cooking method, so that the cooking device can better meet the cooking needs of users, and the function and structural design are fully combined without structural waste and redundancy.

[0022] 2. When the cover is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base, an oil leakage tray for placing food is arranged in the cooking vessel, and a plurality of oil leakage holes are evenly distributed on the oil leakage tray. The oil leakage tray corresponds to the return air area of ​​the fan. The fan drives hot air to be blown out from the periphery of the fan. A part of the hot air flows downward from the top of the cooking space, and the part of the hot air flows through the upper surface of the food to heat the upper surface of the food; the other part of the hot air flows upward from the bottom of the cooking space, and the part of the hot air flows through the lower surface of the food to heat the lower surface of the food, which helps to improve the uniformity of food heating.

[0023] 3. A heat-insulating cavity is also provided in the cover body, and the second heating component is located in the heat-insulating cavity to prevent the heat generated by the second heating component from being transferred to the motor, causing aging of the insulating material inside the motor or expansion and deformation of the metal parts, thereby reducing the insulation and mechanical properties of the motor, thereby improving the service life of the motor.

[0024] 4. An isolation net is provided on the cover body, and the isolation net is located on the side of the first heating element away from the motor, which can prevent the user from directly contacting the first heating element and reduce the risk of the user being scalded.

In other embodiments, the cooking vessel can be placed above the isolation net, which helps the first heating component to perform cooking functions such as air frying, frying, grilling, steaming, and boiling on the food in the cooking vessel, and at the same time, it can prevent the cooking vessel from directly contacting the first heating element, damaging the coating of the cooking vessel or causing scratches.

[0025] 5. The cooking cavity is located on the base, and the third heating component is located below the cooking cavity, which effectively reduces the distance between the third heating component and the cooking cavity, facilitates the heat generated by the third heating component to be directly transferred to the cooking cavity, and improves the heating efficiency of the food in the cooking cavity; it can also reduce the height space occupied by the cooking device when it is folded, making it convenient for storage.

[0026] 6. A damping shaft is provided between the base and the cover, which facilitates the rotation of the cover and can provide a certain resistance during the rotation of the cover, so that the cover can be maintained at a specific angle when it stops, without shaking or falling at will, so that the cover can be set vertically on the base, which facilitates the air frying operation of the food; at the same time, it can also reduce the rotation speed of the cover to avoid impact on the connection during the rotation of the cover, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooking equipment.

[0027] 7. A handle is also provided on the cover. When the cover is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base, the handle is located on the top of the cover, which does not affect the placement of the cooking vessel and facilitates the rotation of the cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The present application embodiment discloses a multifunctional foldable cooking device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base 1 and a cover body 2 rotatably arranged with the base 1, a first heating component 21 and a second heating component 22 are arranged in the cover body 2, a third heating component 11 is arranged on the base 1, and also includes one or more cooking utensils 3 for accommodating food, wherein the cooking utensils 3 can be set as a stew pot, a wok, a frying pan, a grill, a pie plate, an air fryer lid, etc.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 When the cover 2 is flipped and folded above the base 1, a cooking cavity 12 is formed between the cover 2 and the base 1, and the third heating component 11 performs frying and roasting operations on the food in the cooking cavity 12, and the cooking vessel 3 can be placed above the cover 2, and the second heating component 22 can be operated alone to cook the food in the cooking vessel 3, such as frying, roasting, stir-frying, stewing, steaming, boiling and other cooking functions. The second heating component 22 and the third heating component 11 can work simultaneously or separately, which is convenient to use.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2When the cover 2 is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base 1, the cooking vessel 3 can be placed on the base 1, and the heat generated by the first heating component 21 can perform air frying operation on the food in the cooking vessel 3; when the cover 2 is unfolded to one side of the base 1, the first heating component 21 is arranged upward, and the cooking vessel 3 can be placed above the first heating component 21 so that the first heating component 21 heats the food, and the first heating component 21 and the third heating component 11 can cook the food separately, and two cooking methods can be used at the same time and switched at will.

[0038] Through the cooperation of the cover body 2 and the base 1, the cooking device has different shapes, and with the first heating component 21, the second heating component 22 and the third heating component 11, it can achieve a one-machine-multiple-purpose effect, and when the cover body 2 is folded, it is also convenient for storage, truly realizing a multifunctional cooking method, so that the cooking device can better meet the cooking needs of users, and the function and structural design are fully combined without structural waste and redundancy.

[0039] It should be noted that a damping shaft 4 is provided between the base 1 and the cover 2, which facilitates the rotation of the cover 2 and can provide a certain resistance during the rotation of the cover 2, so that the cover 2 can be maintained at a specific angle when it stops, and will not shake or fall at will, so that the cover 2 can be set vertically to the base 1, which facilitates the air frying operation of food; at the same time, it can also reduce the rotation speed of the cover 2 to avoid impact on the connection during the rotation of the cover 2, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooking equipment.

[0040] Combination Figure 2 In this embodiment, the height of the cover body 2 and the base 1 are the same. When the cover body 2 is unfolded on one side of the base 1, there is no need to support the cover body 2. The cover body 2 is directly in contact with the countertop, which can ensure the stability of the cover body 2 and prevent the cooking vessel 3 from tipping over due to the imbalance between the cover body 2 and the base 1. At the same time, it is avoided to set a support on the cover body 2, effectively reducing the production cost.

[0041] The first heating assembly 21 includes a first heating element 211, a fan 212, and a motor 213 for driving the fan 212 to rotate. A reflective disk 23 and a motor 213 frame are provided in the cover body 2. The first heating element 211 and the fan 212 are located in the reflective disk 23. A cold air cavity is provided between the reflective disk 23 and the motor 213 frame, and a cold fan 25 is also provided in the cold air cavity. The motor 213 is connected to the cold fan 25. A receiving cavity connected to the cold air cavity is provided between the motor frame 24 and the cover body 2. An air inlet for connecting the receiving cavity with the outside is provided on the cover body 2. The motor 213 is located in the receiving cavity. The motor 213 drives the cold fan 25 to rotate. The cold air from the outside enters the receiving cavity and the cold air cavity under the suction of the cold fan 25, so that the cold air from the outside cools the motor 213 and the cover body 2.

[0042] In addition, the cover body 2 is provided with an air outlet, and the reflective plate 23 is provided with an exhaust port connected to the air outlet, so that excess hot air during cooking is discharged from the exhaust port and the air outlet to ensure heat circulation during cooking.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 When the cover 2 is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base 1, the cooking vessel 3 can be placed on the base 1. The cooking vessel 3 includes a pot body and a pot cover arranged on the pot body. The first heating component 21 is located on one side of the pot body. Ventilation holes and return air holes are arranged on the pot body and at positions corresponding to the first heating component 21. The first heating element 211 heats, and the fan 212 rotates under the drive of the motor 213, and transmits the heat generated by the first heating element 211 to the pot body through the ventilation holes to heat the food; the heat in the pot body flows back to the reflective plate 23 through the return air holes under the back-absorption action of the fan 212, and participates in the heat cycle again. In this embodiment, an oil leakage tray 5 for placing food is provided in the pot body, and a plurality of oil leakage holes are evenly distributed on the oil leakage tray 5, and the positions of the oil leakage tray 5 and the return air holes correspond. The fan 212 drives the hot air to be blown out from the ventilation holes, and a part of the hot air flows downward from the top of the pot body, and this part of the hot air flows through the upper surface of the food to heat the upper surface of the food; the other part of the hot air flows upward from the bottom of the pot body, and this part of the hot air flows through the lower surface of the food to heat the lower surface of the food, and the food on the oil leakage tray 5 is located on the return air path of the hot air, which can further improve the uniformity of food heating.

[0044] In addition, the pot body is arranged in a ring shape, and an opening is arranged at its bottom, which is conducive to the third heating component 11 to assist in heating the food in the pot body from the bottom. The heat generated by the third heating component 11 is transferred upward into the pot body and participates in the heat circulation in the pot body; the food in the pot body is heated by dual heat sources through the first heating component 21 and the third heating component 11, which can further improve the heating uniformity and cooking efficiency of the food.

[0045] Combination Figure 2, the cover 2 is provided with an isolation net 6, which is located on the side of the first heating element 211 away from the motor 213, so as to prevent the user from directly contacting the first heating element 211 and reduce the risk of the user being scalded. When the cover 2 is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base 1, the setting of the isolation net 6 can prevent the grease generated by the food during the cooking process from entering the inside of the cover 2 and causing pollution to the first heating element 211, the fan 212, etc. When the cover 2 is unfolded on one side of the base 1, the first heating component 21 is arranged upward, that is, the isolation net 6 is located above the first heating component 21, and the food can be directly placed on the isolation net 6, and the first heating element 211 can be used to fry and roast the food, or the first heating element 211 and the fan 212 can be used to cook the food. In other embodiments, the cooking vessel 3 can be placed above the isolation net 6, which helps the first heating component 21 to perform cooking functions such as air frying, frying, roasting, steaming, and boiling on the food in the cooking vessel 3, and can also prevent the cooking vessel 3 from directly contacting the first heating element 211, damaging the coating of the cooking vessel 3 or causing scratches.

[0046] The second heating component 22 is located on the side of the motor 213 away from the first heating element 211. When the cover 2 is flipped down and folded above the base 1, the cooking vessel 3 can be placed above the cover 2, and the second heating component 22 can be operated alone to cook food in the cooking vessel 3.

[0047] The second heating component 22 can be configured as a heating tube, and the heat generated by the heating tube is conducted to the food in the cooking vessel 3, so as to heat the food. In other embodiments, the second heating component 22 can also be configured as an electromagnetic induction coil and a magnetic conductive member that cooperates with the electromagnetic induction coil. When the electromagnetic induction coil is energized, an alternating magnetic field is generated, and the alternating magnetic field acts on the magnetic conductive member, so that the temperature of the magnetic conductive member can be rapidly increased in a short time, and heat can be generated over a large area, and the heat generated by the magnetic conductive member is conducted to the food, thereby heating the food in the cooking vessel 3.

[0048] The cover body 2 is also provided with an insulating cavity 7, and the second heating component 22 is located in the insulating cavity 7, which prevents the heat generated by the second heating component 22 from being transferred to the motor 213, causing the insulating material inside the motor 213 to age or the metal parts to expand and deform, thereby reducing the insulation performance and mechanical performance of the motor 213, thereby improving the service life of the motor 213. Specifically, an insulating board is provided inside the cover body 2 and located on the side of the motor 213 away from the first heating element 211. The insulating cavity 7 is formed by the insulating board and the cover body 2. The insulating board can be made of insulating ceramic fiber wool, glass fiber insulating board, aluminum silicate fiber wool, etc., which can effectively prevent the heat generated by the second heating component 22 from being transferred to the motor 213, thereby improving the service life of the motor 213 and maintaining the temperature inside the insulating cavity 7 stable, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the food in the cooking vessel 3.

[0049] It should be noted that, combined with Figure 3 The cooking cavity 12 is located on the base 1, that is, a mounting groove is provided on the base 1, a grilling pan is provided in the mounting groove, and the cooking cavity 12 is formed in the grilling pan. The third heating component 11 is located below the cooking cavity 12, which effectively reduces the height space occupied by the cooking device when it is folded, and is convenient for storage. Whether the cover body 2 is in a folded state or an unfolded state, the heat generated by the third heating component 11 can be transferred upward to the cooking cavity 12, thereby heating the food in the cooking cavity 12 to achieve a frying and grilling cooking effect. When the cover body 2 is in a folded state, when the third heating component 11 heats the food in the cooking cavity 12, the first heating component 21 can also perform auxiliary heating on the food in the cooking cavity 12, so as to improve the heating uniformity and cooking efficiency of the food.

[0050] The third heating component 11 can be configured as a heating tube, and the heat generated by the heating tube is conducted to the food in the cooking cavity 12, so as to heat the food. In other embodiments, the third heating component 11 can also be configured as an electromagnetic induction coil and a magnetic conductive part that cooperates with the electromagnetic induction coil. When the electromagnetic induction coil is energized, an alternating magnetic field is generated, and the alternating magnetic field acts on the magnetic conductive part, so that the temperature of the magnetic conductive part can be rapidly increased in a short time, and heat can be generated over a large area, and the heat generated by the magnetic conductive part is conducted to the food in the cooking cavity 12, so as to heat the food.

[0051] In addition, when the cover 2 is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base 1, the cooking vessel 3 can be placed on the base 1, and the first heating component 21 heats the food in the cooking vessel 3. The grease generated by the food during the cooking process drips down into the frying pan through the oil leakage pan 5, and the grease can be collected, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning and recycling. It should be noted that the projection of the oil leakage hole on the horizontal plane is located in the cooking cavity 12, which prevents the grease generated during the cooking process from dripping down onto the base 1, making it difficult to clean.

[0052] The cover body 2 is also provided with a handle 8. When the cover body 2 is unfolded and arranged vertically with the base 1, the handle 8 is located at the top of the cover body 2, which does not affect the placement of the cooking vessel 3 and facilitates the rotation of the cover body 2.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
