Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] When smoking food, the air fryer in the prior art usually only inputs smoke for smoking into the cooking chamber. However, due to the low humidity of the air in the cooking chamber, the aromatic substances in the smoke adhere to the food slowly, and the smoking efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cooking appliance.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a cooking utensil, comprising: a shell body, comprising a cooking cavity; a smoking device, arranged in the shell body, capable of generating smoke, and connected to the cooking cavity; a water vapor generating device, arranged in the shell body, capable of generating water vapor, and the water vapor generating device and the smoking device are connected to the cooking cavity.

[0006] The cooking utensil proposed in the present application comprises a housing, the housing comprises a cooking cavity, the cooking cavity is used to contain food, and the cooking utensil can cook the food in the cooking cavity. In a possible technical solution, the cooking utensil can be an air fryer.

[0007] Furthermore, in addition to being able to heat and cook food, the cooking utensil proposed in the present application can also smoke food. The cooking utensil can first air-fry the food, and after completing the air-frying cooking stage, the cooking utensil can also smoke the food to give the food a smoky taste. The cooking utensil can also smoke food alone. In order to enable the cooking utensil to have the function of smoking food, the present application also provides a smoking device in the cooking utensil, and the smoking device is used to smoke the food in the cooking cavity. Specifically, the smoking device is provided in the housing, and the smoking device is connected to the cooking cavity so that the smoke generated by the smoking device can be discharged into the cooking cavity to smoke the food in the cooking cavity.

[0008] Understandably, the speed at which smoke adheres to food is related to the humidity in the cooking chamber. The higher the humidity in the cooking chamber, the faster the smoke adheres to the food. Moreover, in the process of smoking food with smoke, the substances that play a role are aromatic substances represented by (4-methyl) guaiacol contained in the smoke. Most of these aromatic substances are phenols, alcohols, ethers, etc. Such substances are soluble in water. Therefore, in the process of smoking food with smoke, if the humidity in the cooking chamber and the moisture content of the food are high, the aromatic substances can be better attached to the food, thereby improving the effect and speed of smoking. For this reason, the present application also provides a water vapor generating device in the cooking utensil for increasing the humidity in the cooking chamber.

[0009] Specifically, the water vapor generating device and the smoke generating device are both arranged on the housing, and the water vapor generating device and the smoke generating device are both connected to the cooking cavity, so that the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device and the smoke generated by the smoke generating device can be discharged into the cooking cavity to increase the humidity in the cooking cavity, thereby improving the smoke effect and smoke speed. By arranging the water vapor generating device in the cooking utensil, water vapor can be generated by the water vapor generating device to increase the humidity in the cooking cavity, thereby allowing the water vapor generated by the smoke generating device to adhere to the food more quickly, thereby improving the smoke effect and smoke speed of the cooking utensil, improving the deliciousness of the food, and improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil.

[0010] The cooking utensil according to the present invention may also have the following distinguishing technical features:

[0011] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water vapor generating device is connected to the smoking device, so that the smoking device can discharge a mixture of smoke and water vapor into the cooking cavity.

[0012] In this technical solution, the relationship between the water vapor generating device and the smoking device is defined. Specifically, the water vapor generating device is connected to the smoking device, and the smoking device is connected to the cooking cavity. When the smoking device and the water vapor generating device are working, the water vapor generating device first discharges water vapor into the smoking device, and the smoke generated by the smoking device first mixes with the water vapor in the smoking device, and then the smoking device discharges the mixture of the two into the cooking cavity. In this way, the smoke can be mixed with the water vapor first to obtain a uniform mixture of the two, and then the mixture of the two can be discharged into the cooking cavity to improve the smoking effect.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water vapor generating device and the smoke generating device are respectively connected to the cooking cavity, so that the water vapor generating device and the smoke generating device can discharge water vapor and smoke into the cooking cavity respectively.

[0014] In this technical solution, another relationship between the water vapor generating device and the smoking device is defined. Specifically, the water vapor generating device and the smoking device are respectively connected to the cooking cavity, that is, the water vapor generating device and the smoking device are not connected. In this case, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device and the smoke generated by the smoking device are respectively discharged into the cooking cavity, and the water vapor and the smoke are mixed in the cooking cavity. In this way, the speed of the water vapor and the smoke being discharged into the cooking cavity can be increased, and the smoking efficiency can be improved.

[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, it further includes: at least one steam outlet pipeline, the steam outlet pipeline is used to connect the water vapor generating device with the smoking device and / or to connect the water vapor generating device with the cooking cavity.

[0016] In this technical solution, in order to enable the water vapor generating device to communicate with the smoking device and / or the cooking cavity, the present application further provides at least one steam outlet pipeline in the cooking appliance.

[0018] When the steam outlet pipeline only connects the water vapor generating device and the smoking device, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device is discharged into the smoking device only through the steam outlet pipeline, the water vapor is mixed with the smoke in the smoking device, and the smoking device discharges the mixture of smoke and water vapor into the cooking cavity.

[0019] When the steam outlet pipeline only connects the water vapor generating device with the cooking cavity, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device is discharged into the cooking cavity only through the steam outlet pipeline, and the water vapor is mixed with the smoke in the cooking cavity.

[0020] When the steam outlet pipeline connects the water vapor generating device with the smoking device and connects the water vapor generating device with the cooking cavity, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device is partially discharged into the smoking device through the steam outlet pipeline, and partially discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam outlet pipeline. The water vapor discharged into the smoking device is mixed with the smoke, and the smoking device discharges the mixture of the smoke and water vapor into the cooking cavity. The water vapor discharged into the cooking cavity is mixed with the smoke in the cooking cavity.

[0021] By arranging a steam outlet pipeline in the cooking appliance, the water vapor generating device can be connected with the smoking device and / or the cooking cavity through the steam outlet pipeline.

In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for the user to refill the water vapor generating device with liquid, thereby improving the user's convenience of use. On the other hand, the water tank assembly can be used to block the liquid from other electrical components in the atomization assembly to prevent liquid leakage.

[0030] Furthermore, when the water tank assembly is installed on the first body, the atomizing assembly is in communication with the water tank assembly, and the atomizing assembly can contact the liquid in the water tank assembly to atomize the liquid to form water vapor.

In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the water tank assembly, the present application provides a first opening on the top wall of the housing, and at least part of the water tank assembly extends out of the first opening, so that the user can directly take out the water tank assembly from the first opening, separate the water tank assembly from the first body, and then put the water tank assembly back into the first body from the first opening, so that the water vapor generating device can operate normally.

[0033] By arranging a first opening on the top wall of the shell and allowing at least a portion of the water tank assembly to extend out of the first opening, it is convenient for a user to take and place the water tank assembly, thereby improving user convenience.

[0034] In some technical solutions, optionally, a liquid discharge port is provided on the bottom wall of the water tank assembly, and when the water tank assembly is located in the first main body, the atomization assembly fits the liquid discharge port.

[0043] In this technical solution, the structure of the smoking device is defined. The smoking device includes a second body and a combustion component, the combustion component is used to generate smoke, and a smoke exhaust port is provided on the second body. The smoke exhaust port of the smoking device can be connected to the cooking cavity, so that the smoke or the mixture of smoke and water vapor can be discharged into the cooking cavity through the smoke exhaust port. Specifically, when the water vapor generating device is connected to the smoking device, the second body is also provided with a steam inlet, which is connected to the steam outlet of the water vapor generating device through a steam outlet pipeline. The water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device flows into the second body through the steam inlet, and the smoke generated by the combustion component is also discharged into the second body. The mixture formed by the mixture of smoke and water vapor can be discharged into the cooking cavity through the smoke exhaust port to smoke the food in the cooking cavity. The smoke mixed with water vapor has a higher humidity, so that the aromatic substances in the smoke can be attached to the food more quickly, thereby improving the smoking efficiency and smoking effect. When the water vapor generating device is not connected to the smoking device, the smoke generated by the smoking device is discharged into the cooking cavity through the smoke exhaust port, and the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device is discharged into the cooking cavity. The smoke and water vapor are mixed in the cooking cavity, so that the food can be smoked in an environment with higher humidity, so that the aromatic substances in the smoke can adhere to the food more quickly.

[0044] Furthermore, the combustion assembly is detachably connected to the second body. When the combustion assembly is connected to the second body, the combustion assembly is connected to the smoke exhaust port, and the smoke generated by the combustion assembly is discharged through the smoke exhaust port. Specifically, a combustible material can be placed in the combustion assembly, and the combustible material can generate smoke. In order to facilitate the placement and removal of the combustible material, the present application sets the combustion assembly as a structure that can be connected and disassembled from the second body, so that the user can separate the combustion assembly from the second body to add combustible materials to the combustion assembly or clean the combustion assembly.

[0045] Furthermore, the main body has a smoke exhaust cavity.

[0046] Furthermore, when the fumigation device is connected to the water vapor generating device, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device can be discharged into the smoke exhaust chamber, and the smoke and water vapor are mixed in the smoke exhaust chamber and then discharged.

[0048] In this technical solution, the structure of the fumigation device is further defined. In order to speed up the smoke exhaust speed of the fumigation device, the present application further provides a fan assembly in the fumigation device, and the fan assembly is capable of forming an airflow, which can blow the smoke generated by the combustion device toward the smoke exhaust port to speed up the smoke exhaust speed. Specifically, the fan assembly is located in the smoke exhaust chamber. When the fumigation device is working, the blades in the fan assembly rotate to form an airflow, and the smoke generated by the fumigation device is discharged into the smoke exhaust chamber. The airflow formed by the fan assembly can blow the airflow toward the smoke exhaust port, and the smoke exhaust port discharges the smoke. In this way, the smoke exhaust speed of the fumigation device can be accelerated by the fan assembly, and the fumigation efficiency can be improved.

[0049] It is understandable that the combustibles will consume oxygen during the combustion process. If the oxygen content in the fumigation device is too low, the combustibles will easily go out. The present application can solve this technical problem by setting a fan assembly in the combustion chamber. When the fan assembly is in operation, it can speed up the gas exchange between the inside and outside of the fumigation device, thereby ensuring that the oxygen content in the fumigation device meets the combustion requirements of the combustibles.

[0050] In a possible technical solution, a fan assembly is arranged in a smoke exhaust chamber, and smoke generated by a combustion assembly is discharged into the smoke exhaust chamber. The fan assembly in the smoke exhaust chamber operates to form an airflow, and the airflow blows the smoke in the smoke exhaust chamber toward a smoke exhaust port, and the smoke is discharged through the smoke exhaust port.

[0051] In a possible technical solution, a smoke sensing device is also provided in the fumigation device. The smoke sensing device is conductively connected to the fan assembly and is disposed in a smoke exhaust chamber. When the smoke generated by the combustion assembly is discharged into the smoke exhaust chamber, the smoke sensing device detects the smoke and the fan assembly starts to operate to blow the smoke in the smoke exhaust chamber toward the smoke exhaust port and discharge the smoke through the smoke exhaust port.

[0052] By arranging a fan assembly in the smoke exhaust chamber, the airflow formed by the fan assembly can accelerate the smoke exhaust speed of the smoker, and can accelerate the gas exchange between the smoker and the outside world, so that the oxygen content in the smoker can meet the combustion requirements of the combustibles, thereby improving the smoking efficiency of the cooking utensils used by the smoker for food.

The heating element generates heat when in operation to heat the combustible, and smoke is generated after the combustible is heated.

[0059] In a possible technical solution, the heating element is constructed as a ceramic heating needle.

[0060] The heating element may also be located outside the combustion chamber, as long as it can heat the combustion object.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to enable the heating element to be connected to electricity, the present application also provides a power supply module in the second body, and the power supply module can be conductively connected to the power supply.

The cooking utensil 100 can first air-fry the ingredients, and after completing the air-frying cooking stage, the cooking utensil 100 can also smoke the ingredients to give the ingredients a smoky taste. The cooking utensil 100 can also smoke the ingredients separately. In order to enable the cooking utensil 100 to have the function of smoking ingredients, the present application further provides a smoking device 120 in the cooking utensil 100, and the smoking device 120 is used to smoke the ingredients in the cooking cavity 111. Specifically, the smoking device 120 is provided in the housing 110, and the smoking device 120 is connected to the cooking cavity 111, so that the smoke generated by the smoking device 120 can be discharged into the cooking cavity 111 to smoke the ingredients in the cooking cavity 111.

[0087] It is understandable that the speed at which smoke adheres to food is related to the humidity in the cooking cavity 111. The higher the humidity in the cooking cavity 111, the faster the smoke adheres to the food. In addition, in the process of smoking food with smoke, the substances that play a role are aromatic substances represented by (4-methyl) guaiacol contained in the smoke. Most of these aromatic substances are phenols, alcohols, ethers, etc., which are soluble in water. Therefore, in the process of smoking food with smoke, if the humidity in the cooking cavity 111 and the moisture content of the food are high, the aromatic substances can be better attached to the food, thereby improving the smoking effect and smoking speed. For this reason, the present application also provides a water vapor generating device 130 for increasing the humidity in the cooking cavity 111 in the cooking utensil 100.

[0088] Specifically, the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke generating device 120 are both disposed in the housing 110, and are both connected to the cooking cavity 111, so that the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke generated by the smoke generating device 120 can be discharged into the cooking cavity 111 to increase the humidity in the cooking cavity 111, thereby improving the smoke effect and smoke speed. By arranging the water vapor generating device 130 in the cooking utensil 100, water vapor can be generated by the water vapor generating device 130 to increase the humidity in the cooking cavity 111, thereby allowing the water vapor generated by the smoke generating device 120 to adhere to the food more quickly, thereby improving the smoke effect and smoke speed of the cooking utensil 100, improving the deliciousness of the food, and improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil 100.

[0089] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the water vapor generating device 130 is in communication with the smoker 120 , so that the smoker 120 can discharge a mixture of smoke and water vapor into the cooking cavity 111 .

[0090] In this embodiment, the relationship between the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke device 120 is defined. Specifically, the water vapor generating device 130 is connected to the smoke device 120, and the smoke device 120 is connected to the cooking cavity 111. When the smoke device 120 and the water vapor generating device 130 are working, the water vapor generating device 130 first discharges water vapor into the smoke device 120, and the smoke generated by the smoke device 120 is first mixed with the water vapor in the smoke device 120, and then the smoke device 120 discharges the mixture of the two into the cooking cavity 111. In this way, the smoke can be mixed with the water vapor first to obtain a uniform mixture of the two, and then the mixture of the two can be discharged into the cooking cavity 111 to improve the smoking effect.

[0091] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the steam generating device 130 and the smoke generating device 120 are respectively communicated with the cooking cavity 111 , so that the steam generating device 130 and the smoke generating device 120 can discharge steam and smoke into the cooking cavity 111 , respectively.

[0092] In this embodiment, another relationship between the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke device 120 is defined. Specifically, the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke device 120 are respectively connected to the cooking cavity 111, that is, the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke device 120 are not connected. In this case, the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device 130 and the smoke generated by the smoke device 120 are respectively discharged into the cooking cavity 111, and the water vapor and the smoke are mixed in the cooking cavity 111. In this way, the speed of the water vapor and the smoke being discharged into the cooking cavity 111 can be increased, and the smoke efficiency can be improved.

[0093] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes: at least one steam outlet pipeline 140, which is used to connect the water vapor generating device 130 with the smoking device 120 and / or to connect the water vapor generating device 130 with the cooking cavity 111.

When there are multiple steam outlet pipes 140, at least one steam outlet pipe 140 connects the water vapor generating device 130 with the smoking device 120, and at least one steam outlet pipe 140 connects the smoking device 120 with the cooking cavity 111.

[0098] In the case where the steam outlet pipe 140 connects the steam generating device 130 with the smoke device 120 and connects the steam generating device 130 with the cooking cavity 111, part of the steam generated by the steam generating device 130 is discharged into the smoke device 120 through the steam outlet pipe 140, and part of the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity 111 through the steam outlet pipe 140. The steam discharged into the smoke device 120 is mixed with the smoke, and the smoke device 120 discharges the mixture of smoke and steam into the cooking cavity 111. The steam discharged into the cooking cavity 111 is mixed with the smoke in the cooking cavity 111.

[0099] By providing the steam outlet pipeline 140 in the cooking appliance 100 , the steam generating device 130 can be connected to the smoking device 120 and / or the cooking cavity 111 through the steam outlet pipeline 140 .

The steam outlet pipelines 140 are connected to the corresponding steam outlets 132, so that the water vapor can flow into the steam outlet pipelines 140 and be discharged into the smoking device 120 and / or the cooking cavity 111 through the steam outlet pipelines 140. By providing an atomizing assembly 133 in the water vapor generating device 130, the liquid can be atomized by the atomizing assembly 133 to form water vapor.

[0105] In this embodiment, the structure of the water vapor generating device 130 is further defined. In order to facilitate the addition of liquid to the water vapor generating device 130, the present application further provides a water tank assembly 134 for containing liquid in the water vapor generating device 130. Specifically, the water tank assembly 134 is detachably provided on the first body 131. When the user needs to add liquid to the water vapor generating device 130, the user can remove the water tank assembly 134 from the first body 131, add liquid to the water tank assembly 134, and then put the added liquid water tank assembly 134 back into the first body 131. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for the user to add liquid to the water vapor generating device 130, which improves the user's convenience of use. On the other hand, the water tank assembly 134 can be used to block the liquid from other electrical components in the atomizing assembly 133 to prevent liquid leakage.

The mixture formed by the smoke and water vapor can be discharged into the cooking cavity 111 through the smoke exhaust port to smoke the food in the cooking cavity 111. The smoke mixed with water vapor has a higher humidity, so that the aromatic substances in the smoke can adhere to the food more quickly, thereby improving the smoking efficiency and smoking effect. When the water vapor generating device 130 is not connected to the smoking device 120, the smoke generated by the smoking device 120 is discharged into the cooking cavity 111 through the smoke exhaust port, and the water vapor generated by the water vapor generating device 130 is discharged into the cooking cavity 111. The smoke and water vapor are mixed in the cooking cavity 111, so that the food can be smoked in an environment with high humidity, so that the aromatic substances in the smoke can adhere to the food more quickly.

[0120] Furthermore, the combustion assembly 122 is detachably connected to the second body 121. When the combustion assembly 122 is connected to the second body 121, the combustion assembly 122 is connected to the smoke exhaust port, and the smoke generated by the combustion assembly 122 is discharged through the smoke exhaust port. Specifically, a combustible material can be placed in the combustion assembly 122, and the combustible material can generate smoke.

When the combustion assembly 122 is installed on the second main body 121, the combustion assembly 122 is connected to the smoke exhaust cavity 124, and the smoke generated by the combustion assembly 122 is discharged into the smoke exhaust cavity 124.

The airflow formed by the fan assembly 123 can blow the airflow to the smoke exhaust port, and the smoke exhaust port discharges the smoke. In this way, the smoke exhaust speed of the fumigation device 120 can be accelerated by the fan assembly 123, and the fumigation efficiency can be improved.

[0125] It is understandable that the combustion material consumes oxygen during the combustion process. If the oxygen content in the fumigation device 120 is too low, the combustion material is likely to be extinguished.
