[0026] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, after the control valve assembly opens, the control method of the air fryer further includes obtaining a second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity and controlling the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity.

[0027] In this technical solution, after the control valve assembly opens, the control method of the air fryer further includes obtaining a second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity and controlling the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity. When the control valve assembly opens, the detection component obtains the second cooking parameter in the cooking cavity through the detection end, and then controls the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter, thereby controlling the intake air flow through the first air duct, and further controlling the intake air volume in the cooking cavity, playing a role in adjusting the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, maintaining the balance of the cooking parameters, and improving the cooking effect.

[0029] The second aspect of the present invention provides a control device for an air fryer. The control device for the air fryer is used for the air fryer, which includes an air guiding component, a blower, an inner pot, and a valve component.

The inner pot is provided with a cooking cavity, and the cooking cavity communicates with the outside of the air fryer through a first air duct of the air guiding component. The valve component is arranged in the first air duct. The blower can drive gas into the cooking cavity to cook the food in the cooking cavity. The control device for the air fryer includes a control unit for controlling the valve component to open or close to control the conduction or closing of the first air duct. The detection component collects the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, and at the same time, the detection component transmits the collected cooking parameters to the control unit in the control device of the air fryer. The control unit opens or closes the valve component according to the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, so as to control the conduction or closing of the first air duct, and further control whether to introduce air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, improve the use effect of the air fryer, enrich the air intake mode, help the user change the air intake mode according to the actual cooked food, improve the controllability of the air guiding component, and enhance the flexibility of introducing air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component.

[0032] In this technical solution, the control device of the air fryer further includes a first detection unit for obtaining the first cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. The first detection unit transmits the detected first cooking parameters in the cooking cavity to the control unit. The control unit opens or closes the control valve assembly according to the first cooking parameters of the cooking cavity, thereby enabling the air fryer to achieve the effect of whether to intake air into the cooking cavity according to the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, improving the use effect of the air fryer, enriching the air intake mode, helping the user change the air intake mode according to the actual cooked food, improving the controllability of the air guiding component, enhancing the flexibility of intake air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, and thus improving the use effect of the air fryer.

[0033] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the first cooking parameters include the temperature of the cooking cavity, the oxygen content of the cooking cavity, and the humidity of the cooking cavity.

[0034] In this technical solution, the first cooking parameters include the temperature of the cooking cavity, the oxygen content of the cooking cavity, and the humidity of the cooking cavity. Since the first cooking parameters are the temperature in the cooking cavity, the oxygen content in the cooking cavity, and the humidity of the cooking cavity, the control unit then executes the opening and closing of the valve assembly according to the changes in the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content in the cooking cavity through the electrical signal feedback of the first detection unit, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct and also controlling whether the air flow entering the cooking cavity through the air guiding component intakes air.

[0036] In this technical solution, the control device of the air fryer further includes a second detection unit for obtaining the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. The control unit is further used to control the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. After the second detection unit obtains the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity, it transmits them to the control unit, and the control unit controls the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. Since the control unit executes the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters, the intake air flow of the first air duct is controlled, and then the intake air volume in the cooking cavity is controlled, which plays a role in adjusting the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, maintaining the balance of the cooking parameters, improving the controllability of the air guiding component, enhancing the flexibility of intake air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, and improving the cooking effect.

[0037] A third aspect of the present invention provides a control device for an air fryer, including a memory and a processor. The memory stores programs or instructions that can run on the processor. When the programs or instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions are implemented. Therefore, the control device of the air fryer has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0038] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a readable storage medium, on which programs or instructions are stored. When the programs or instructions are executed by a processor, the steps of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions are implemented. Therefore, the readable storage medium has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0039] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides an air fryer, which includes a main body, an inner pot, a blower, an air guiding component, and a valve component. The main body is provided with a receiving cavity; the inner pot is arranged in the receiving cavity, the inner pot has a cooking cavity, and an opening is provided at the top of the cooking cavity; the blower is arranged in the receiving cavity and is opposite to the opening of the cooking cavity; the air guiding component is arranged on the main body, the air guiding component is provided with a first air duct, the first end of the first air duct is arranged circumferentially around the blower and is opposite to the opening of the cooking cavity, and the second end of the first air duct extends to the outside of the main body; the valve component is arranged in the first air duct and can control the conduction or closing of the first air duct.

[0040] In this technical solution, the air fryer is provided with a main body, and the main body is provided with a receiving cavity. The main body encloses an installation space for the air fryer, and at the same time simplifies the production and installation process of the air fryer. The air fryer includes an inner pot, and the inner pot is arranged in the receiving cavity. The inner pot has a cooking cavity inside, and the cooking cavity inside the inner pot provides a cooking space for food. The inner pot serves to hold food. The inner pot can be independently and embeddedly arranged in the receiving cavity. When the air fryer is used up, the inner pot can be taken out, which is convenient for the cleaning and maintenance work of the air fryer.

[0041] An opening is provided at the top of the cooking cavity. The opening facilitates the access of food during cooking, and at the same time, the setting of the opening can facilitate the heating in the cooking cavity. A blower is arranged in the air fryer, and the blower is arranged in the receiving cavity. The setting position of the blower is opposite to the opening of the cooking cavity. When the air fryer starts to work, the blower rotates, so that the high-temperature gas stirred by the blower flows in the cooking cavity, and the high-temperature gas plays a role in heating the cooked food.

[0042] The air fryer includes an air induction component, which is arranged on the body. The air induction component is provided with a first air duct. The first end of the first air duct is arranged in the circumference of the fan. The first air duct provides an air guide space for gas transmission in the air induction component. When the air fryer is working, the fan stirs the gas in the accommodating cavity by rotating, thereby forming an airflow in the accommodating cavity. The first end of the first air duct is arranged in the circumference of the fan. When the airflow in the accommodating cavity flows through the first end of the first air duct, a negative pressure area is formed at the first end port of the first air duct due to the large gas flow rate. Because the internal pressure of the first air duct remains unchanged, while the pressure at the first end port of the first air duct decreases, a pressure difference is formed in the first air duct and at the first end of the first air duct. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas in the first air duct quickly flows into the accommodating cavity. The inner pot is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the gas in the first air duct can enter the cooking cavity arranged in the inner pot. The first air duct is opposite to the opening of the cooking cavity, which facilitates the air intake airflow of the first air duct to enter the cooking cavity, thereby improving the cooking effect of the food. The second end of the first air duct extends to the outside of the body, and the second end of the first air duct extends to the outside of the body to take in air from the first air duct of the air induction component. When the air fryer is working, fresh air from outside enters the cooking cavity through the first air duct of the air induction component, which improves the cooking taste of food.

[0043] The air fryer is provided with a valve assembly, and the valve assembly is arranged at the first air duct, and can control the conduction or closing of the first air duct. When the air fryer is working, the fan stirs the gas flow in the cooking cavity, thereby driving the gas in the first air duct in the induced draft assembly to quickly enter the cooking cavity. Since the valve assembly is arranged at the first air duct, and the valve assembly can control the conduction and closing of the first air duct, the valve assembly can control whether the induced draft assembly enters air through the two modes of opening or closing. The valve assembly can help the air fryer to control the air intake situation in the cooking cavity by controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct, thereby improving controllability, and allowing users to choose whether the induced draft assembly enters air during the cooking process according to actual conditions, thereby enriching the cooking effect during cooking, improving the controllability of the induced draft assembly, and enhancing the flexibility of air intake into the cooking cavity through the induced draft assembly, and also facilitating users to use the air fryer.

[0044] Furthermore, the fan is a fan that drives hot air circulation in the cooking cavity when the air fryer is working.

[0045] The air fryer can be an oven, a microwave oven and a steamer, and the fan can be used as a fan to drive the hot air circulation in the cooking cavity.

[0046] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer further includes a control component, which is electrically connected to the valve component and can control the valve component to open or close, so as to control the first air duct to be turned on or off.

[0047] In this technical solution, the air fryer is provided with a control component, which is electrically connected to the valve component and can control the opening or closing of the valve component to control the conduction or closing of the first air duct. Since the connection between the control component and the valve component is an electrical connection, the control component controls the opening or closing of the valve component through an electrical signal, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct. When the air fryer is working, the fan runs to stir the gas flow in the cooking cavity, and the first air duct of the air guiding component starts to intake air. The opening and closing of the valve component can be controlled through the control component, so as to control whether the first air duct is conducting, and further control whether air enters the cooking cavity.

[0048] Furthermore, during the cooking process, the user can control the air intake duration during cooking through the cooperation of the control component and the valve component. Furthermore, the user can select and adjust the appropriate air intake duration according to the specific situation of the cooked food, improving the cooking effect of the air fryer, enhancing the controllability of the air guiding component, increasing the flexibility of air intake into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, and facilitating the use of the user.

[0049] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer further includes a detection component. The detection component is arranged on the main body and is electrically connected to the control component. The detection end of the detection component extends into the cooking cavity and can detect the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. The control component can control the opening or closing of the valve component according to the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity.

[0050] In this technical solution, the air fryer is provided with a detection component. The detection component is arranged on the main body, electrically connected to the control component, and the detection end of the detection component extends into the cooking cavity. The detection component can detect the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. Since the air fryer is provided with a detection component and the detection end of the detection component extends into the cooking cavity, the detection component can detect the real-time cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, and then convert the cooking parameters into an electrical signal form. By setting the detection component, it is beneficial to understand the cooking situation during the cooking process, and the cooking effect can be transmitted to the control component of the air fryer in a digital form, facilitating the user's cooking.

[0051] The control component can control the opening or closing of the valve component according to the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. The control component is connected to the detection component in the form of an electrical signal. When the air fryer is working, the detection component transmits the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity to the control component in the form of an electrical signal. The control component controls the opening or closing of the valve component according to the electrical signal of the cooking parameters transmitted by the detection component, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct of the air guiding component. The user can control whether to intake air through the first air duct of the air guiding component according to the actual cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, and further control according to the actual cooking state to improve the taste of the ingredients cooked by the air fryer.

[0052] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the detection component is a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor.

[0053] In this technical solution, the detection component is a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor. Since the detection end of the detection component extends into the cooking cavity, the detection component includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can collect and convert the temperature in the cooking cavity into a temperature parameter, and then, through the electrical connection between the detection component and the control component, transmit the temperature parameter in the cooking cavity to the control component; the detection component includes an oxygen sensor, which can convert the oxygen content in the cooking cavity into an oxygen content parameter, and then transmit the oxygen content parameter in the cooking cavity to the control component through the electrical connection between the detection component and the control component; the detection component can also be provided with a humidity sensor, which can convert the content of water vapor in the cooking cavity into a humidity parameter, and then transmit the humidity parameter in the cooking cavity to the control component through the electrical connection between the detection component and the control component. The detection component being a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor can convert the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity into an electrical signal form, facilitating the air fryer to control the opening or closing of the first air duct of the air guiding component by judging the cooking situation in the cooking cavity, facilitating the user's cooking operation, and improving the cooking effect.

[0054] Furthermore, a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and a humidity sensor can be simultaneously arranged in the detection component to collect the values of the temperature, oxygen content, and humidity in the cooking cavity; a temperature sensor and an oxygen sensor can be arranged to collect the values of the temperature and oxygen content in the cooking cavity; a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor can be arranged to collect the values of the temperature and humidity in the cooking cavity; a temperature sensor can be separately arranged to collect the value of the temperature in the cooking cavity; an oxygen sensor can be separately arranged to collect the value of the oxygen content in the cooking cavity; a humidity sensor can also be separately arranged to collect the value of the humidity in the cooking cavity.

[0055] Specifically, according to the usage scenario and actual usage situation of the air fryer, flexibly setting the types of sensors in the detection component can improve the cooking effect of the air fryer and facilitate the user's use.

[0056] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer further includes a second air duct, which is communicated with the first air duct, and one end of the second air duct faces the blower.

[0057] In this technical solution, the air fryer further includes a second air duct, which is connected to the first air duct, and one end of the second air duct faces the blower. Since one end of the second air duct faces the blower, the air flow velocity increases after the gas flows into the second air duct, and the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the second end of the first air duct increases. As a result, the negative pressure at the second end of the first air duct increases, and the pressure difference between the first end and the second end of the first air duct becomes larger, thereby accelerating the flow velocity of the gas in the first air duct, increasing the gas entering the cooking cavity through the first channel, and further improving the cooking quality of the air fryer.

[0058] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer further includes an air duct plate, and the air duct plate and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity enclose the second air duct.

[0059] In this technical solution, the air fryer includes an air duct plate, and the air duct plate and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity enclose the second air duct. The second air duct is connected to the first air duct, and one end of the second air duct faces the blower. When the blower works, it stirs the gas flow in the accommodating cavity. The air flow passes through the second end of the first air duct, causing a negative pressure to be generated at the second end of the first air duct. The pressure at the first end of the first air duct is higher than that at the second end of the first air duct. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas obtains a downward driving force, and the gas quickly flows from the air inlet to the cooking cavity, improving the cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0060] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the extending direction of the second air duct intersects with the extending direction of the first air duct.

[0061] In this technical solution, the extending direction of the second air duct of the air fryer intersects with the extending direction of the first air duct. When the blower works, it stirs the gas in the cavity to flow quickly. After the air flow enters the second air duct, the air flow quickly passes through the second port of the first air duct and forms a negative pressure at the port. The cross-arrangement of the first air duct and the second air duct plays a role in improving the effect of the pressure difference on the air intake, making the flow velocity of the gas in the first air duct faster and the air intake efficiency in the cooking cavity higher.

[0062] Specifically, the air intake effect on the inside of the cooking cavity is completed through the port pressure difference of the first air duct, which can reduce production costs, simplify the production process, reduce working noise at the same time, and optimize the user experience.

[0063] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer further includes a heating component, and the heating component is arranged on the main body and opposite to the blower.

[0064] In this technical solution, the air fryer is provided with a heating component, which can serve as a heat source to provide heat to the cooking cavity of the air fryer. The heating component is arranged on the main body and is opposite to the blower. When the air fryer is working, the heating component heats the gas in the cooking cavity, and the blower stirs the gas in the cooking cavity to rotate. Because the heating component is opposite to the blower, the blower can make the gas in the cooking cavity circulate and be heated, and then the blower and the heating component cooperate to cook the food in the cooking cavity.

[0084] The control method for the air fryer further includes obtaining a first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity; and controlling the valve component to open or close according to the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity.

[0085] In this embodiment, the control method for the air fryer further includes obtaining a first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity, and controlling the valve component to open or close according to the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity.

[0097] After the control valve assembly is opened, the control method of the air fryer further includes obtaining a second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity and controlling the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity.

[0098] In this embodiment, after the control valve assembly is opened, the control method of the air fryer further includes obtaining a second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity and controlling the opening degree of the control valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter of the cooking cavity. When the control valve assembly is opened, the detection component obtains the second cooking parameter in the cooking cavity through the detection end, and then performs the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameter, thereby realizing the control of the intake air flow of the first air duct, and further controlling the intake air volume in the cooking cavity, playing a role in adjusting the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, maintaining the balance of the cooking parameters, and improving the cooking effect.

[0099] Specifically, the first cooking parameter can be the same as the second cooking parameter, or the first cooking parameter can be different from the second cooking parameter, which can be set according to the specific usage requirements of the air fryer; the acquisition of the first cooking parameter and the second cooking parameter can be carried out simultaneously, or the acquisition of the first cooking parameter and the second cooking parameter can be staggered, which can be set according to the specific usage requirements of the air fryer.

[0100] Specifically, when the valve assembly is in the open state, the opening degree of the valve assembly can be adjusted to the maximum, and at this time, the amount of gas introduced through the air induction assembly is the largest. It can also be adjusted to the minimum, and at this time, the amount of gas introduced through the air induction assembly is the smallest.

[0107] Step 712, when the working time of the air fryer is not within the preset working stage, stopping the detection of the first cooking parameter.

[0108] Determining whether the working time of the air fryer is within the preset working stage specifically is:

[0109] When T0 < T < T1, the working time of the air fryer is within the preset working stage.

[0110] When T < T0 or T1 < T, the working time of the air fryer is not within the preset working stage.

[0111] T is the working time of the air fryer, and T0 and T1 are preset times during the working process of the air fryer.

[0112] As Figure 3 shown, a second aspect of the present invention provides a control device 200 for an air fryer. The control device 200 for the air fryer is used for the air fryer. The air fryer includes an air induction assembly, a blower, an inner pot, and a valve assembly. The inner pot is provided with a cooking cavity. The cooking cavity is communicated with the outside of the air fryer through a first air duct of the air induction assembly. The valve assembly is arranged in the first air duct. The blower can drive gas into the cooking cavity to cook the food materials in the cooking cavity. The control device 200 for the air fryer includes a control unit 210 for controlling the valve assembly to open or close to control the first air duct to be conducted or closed.

[0113] In this embodiment, the control device 200 of the air fryer is used for the air fryer. The air fryer includes an air guiding component, a blower, an inner pot, and a valve component. The inner pot is provided with a cooking cavity. The cooking cavity is communicated with the outside of the air fryer through a first air duct of the air guiding component.

The detection component collects the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, and at the same time, the detection component transmits the collected cooking parameters to the control unit 210 in the control device 200 of the air fryer. The control unit 210 opens or closes the valve component according to the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct, and further controlling whether to intake air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, improving the use effect of the air fryer, enriching the air intake mode, helping the user to change the air intake mode according to the actual cooked food, improving the controllability of the air guiding component, and enhancing the flexibility of intake air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component.

[0114] This embodiment provides a control device for an air fryer. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0115] The control device of the air fryer further includes a first detection unit for obtaining the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity; the control unit is further used to open or close the valve component according to the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity.

[0116] In this embodiment, the control device of the air fryer further includes a first detection unit for obtaining the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity. The first detection unit transmits the detected first cooking parameter in the cooking cavity to the control unit. The control unit opens or closes the valve component according to the first cooking parameter of the cooking cavity, and further realizes the effect of whether the air fryer intakes air into the cooking cavity according to the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, thereby improving the use effect of the air fryer, enriching the air intake mode, helping the user to change the air intake mode according to the actual cooked food, improving the controllability of the air guiding component, enhancing the flexibility of intake air into the cooking cavity through the air guiding component, and thus improving the use effect of the air fryer.

[0117] This embodiment provides a control device for an air fryer. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0118] The first cooking parameter includes the temperature of the cooking cavity, the oxygen content of the cooking cavity, and the humidity of the cooking cavity.

[0119] In this embodiment, the first cooking parameters include the temperature of the cooking cavity, the oxygen content of the cooking cavity, and the humidity of the cooking cavity. Since the first cooking parameters are the temperature, oxygen content, and humidity in the cooking cavity, the control unit controls the opening and closing of the valve assembly based on the electrical signal feedback from the first detection unit and according to the changes in the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content in the cooking cavity, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct and also controlling whether the air flow entering the cooking cavity through the air induction assembly enters. Thus, the balance of the cooking parameters can be maintained, the controllability of the air induction assembly can be improved, the flexibility of the air intake into the cooking cavity through the air induction assembly can be enhanced, and the cooking effect can be improved.

[0120] This embodiment provides a control device for an air fryer. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0121] The control device of the air fryer further includes a second detection unit for obtaining the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity; the control unit is further configured to control the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity.

[0122] In this embodiment, the control device of the air fryer further includes a second detection unit for obtaining the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity, and the control unit is further configured to control the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. After the second detection unit obtains the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity, it transmits them to the control unit, and the control unit controls the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters of the cooking cavity. Since the control unit controls the opening degree of the valve assembly according to the second cooking parameters, the intake air flow of the first air duct is controlled, and then the intake air volume in the cooking cavity is controlled, which plays a role in adjusting the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity, maintaining the balance of the cooking parameters, improving the controllability of the air induction assembly, enhancing the flexibility of the air intake into the cooking cavity through the air induction assembly, and improving the cooking effect.

[0123] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the third aspect of the present invention provides a control device 300 for an air fryer, including a memory 310 and a processor 320. The memory 310 stores a program or instruction that can run on the processor 320. When the program or instruction is executed by the processor 320, the steps of the control method of the air fryer as described in any of the above technical solutions are implemented. Therefore, the control device 300 of the air fryer has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air fryer as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0124] In the fourth aspect of the present invention, a readable storage medium is provided, on which a program or instructions are stored. When the program or the instructions are executed by a processor, the steps of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions are implemented. Therefore, the readable storage medium has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the air fryer described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0125] In the fifth aspect of the present invention, an air fryer 100 includes a main body 110, an inner pot 140, a blower 150, an air guiding assembly 120, and a valve assembly 116. The main body 110 is provided with a receiving cavity 114; the inner pot 140 is disposed in the receiving cavity 114, and the inner pot 140 has a cooking cavity 112, and an opening 113 is provided at the top of the cooking cavity 112; the blower 150 is disposed in the receiving cavity 114 and is opposite to the opening 113 of the cooking cavity 112; the air guiding assembly 120 is disposed on the main body 110, and the air guiding assembly 120 is provided with a first air duct 122. The first end of the first air duct 122 is arranged circumferentially around the blower 150 and is opposite to the opening 113 of the cooking cavity 112, and the second end of the first air duct 122 extends to the outside of the main body 110; the valve assembly 116 is disposed in the first air duct 122 and can control the first air duct 122 to be opened or closed.

[0126] The air fryer 100 provided in the present application is provided with a main body 110. The main body 110 is provided with a receiving cavity 114. The main body 110 encloses an installation space for the air fryer 100, and at the same time simplifies the production and installation process of the air fryer 100. The air fryer 100 includes an inner pot 140. The inner pot 140 is disposed in the receiving cavity 114. The inner pot 140 has a cooking cavity 112. The cooking cavity 112 inside the inner pot 140 provides a cooking space for food. The inner pot 140 serves to hold food. The inner pot 140 can be independently and embeddedly disposed in the receiving cavity 114. When the air fryer 100 is used up, the inner pot 140 can be taken out, which is convenient for the cleaning and maintenance work of the air fryer 100.

[0127] An opening 113 is provided at the top of the cooking cavity 112. The opening 113 facilitates the access of food during cooking. At the same time, the setting of the opening 113 can facilitate the heating inside the cooking cavity 112. A blower 150 is disposed in the air fryer 100. The blower 150 is disposed in the receiving cavity 114. The setting position of the blower 150 is opposite to the opening 113 of the cooking cavity 112. When the air fryer 100 starts to work, the blower 150 rotates self - sufficiently. Thus, the high - temperature gas stirred by the blower 150 flows in the cooking cavity 112, and the high - temperature gas plays a role in heating the cooked food.

[0128] The air fryer 100 includes an air guiding component 120. The air guiding component 120 is arranged in the main body 110. The air guiding component 120 is provided with a first air duct 122. The first end of the first air duct 122 is arranged circumferentially around the fan 150. The first air duct 122 provides a gas guiding space for the gas transmission in the air guiding component 120. When the air fryer 100 works, the fan 150 stirs the gas in the accommodation cavity 114 by rotating, thereby forming an air flow in the accommodation cavity 114. The first end of the first air duct 122 is arranged circumferentially around the fan 150. When the air flow in the accommodation cavity 114 flows through the first end of the first air duct 122, due to the high gas flow rate, a negative pressure area is formed at the port of the first end of the first air duct 122. Because the internal pressure of the first air duct 122 remains unchanged while the pressure at the port of the first end of the first air duct 122 decreases, a pressure difference is formed between the inside of the first air duct 122 and the first end of the first air duct 122. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas in the first air duct 122 quickly flows into the accommodation cavity 114. The inner pot 140 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 114. Thus, the gas in the first air duct 122 can enter the cooking cavity 112 arranged in the inner pot 140. The first air duct 122 is opposite to the opening 113 of the cooking cavity 112, which is convenient for the intake air flow of the first air duct 122 to enter the cooking cavity 112, thereby improving the cooking effect of the food. The second end of the first air duct 122 extends towards the outside of the main body 110. The second end of the first air duct 122 intakes air into the first air duct 122 of the air guiding component 120 by extending towards the outside of the main body 110. The external fresh air enters the cooking cavity 112 through the first air duct 122 of the air guiding component 120 when the air fryer 100 works, which has an effect of improving the cooking taste of the food.

[0129] As Figure 3 shown, the air fryer 100 is provided with a valve component 116. The valve component 116 is arranged in the first air duct 122 and can control the opening or closing of the first air duct 122. When the air fryer 100 works, the fan 150 stirs the gas flow in the cooking cavity 112, thereby driving the gas in the first air duct 122 of the air guiding component 120 to quickly intake air into the cooking cavity 112. Since the valve component 116 is arranged at the first air duct 122 and the valve component 116 can control the opening and closing of the first air duct 122, the valve component 116 can control whether the air guiding component 120 intakes air through two modes of opening or closing. By controlling the opening or closing of the first air duct 122, the valve component 116 can help the air fryer 100 control the air intake situation in the cooking cavity 112, improve the controllability, enable the user to choose whether the air guiding component 120 intakes air during the cooking process according to the actual situation, enrich the cooking effect during cooking, improve the controllability of the air guiding component 120, enhance the flexibility of intaking air into the cooking cavity 112 through the air guiding component 120, and also facilitate the user to use the air fryer 100.

[0130] Further, the blower 150 is the blower 150 that drives the circulation of hot air in the cooking chamber 112 when the air fryer operates.

[0131] The air fryer 100 can be an oven or a microwave steam convection oven. The blower 150 can serve as the blower 150 that drives the circulation of hot air in the cooking chamber 112. The air fryer 100 further includes a control assembly 124. The control assembly 124 is electrically connected to the valve assembly 116 and can control the valve assembly 116 to open or close, so as to control the first air duct 122 to be conducted or closed.

[0132] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the air fryer 100 is provided with a control assembly 124. The control assembly 124 is electrically connected to the valve assembly 116 and can control the valve assembly 116 to open or close, so as to control the first air duct 122 to be conducted or closed. Since the connection mode between the control assembly 124 and the valve assembly 116 is an electrical connection, the control assembly 124 controls the valve assembly 116 to open or close through an electrical signal, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct 122. When the air fryer 100 operates, the blower 150 runs, agitating the gas flow in the cooking chamber 112, and the first air duct 122 of the air guiding assembly 120 starts to intake air. The opening and closing of the valve assembly 116 can be controlled through the control assembly 124, so as to control whether the first air duct 122 is conducted, and further control the intake of air into the cooking chamber 112.

[0133] Further, during the cooking process, the user can control the intake duration during the cooking process through the cooperation of the control assembly 124 and the valve assembly 116. Furthermore, the user can select and adjust an appropriate intake duration according to the specific situation of the cooked food, improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100, enhancing the controllability of the air guiding assembly 120, increasing the flexibility of intaking air into the cooking chamber 112 through the air guiding assembly 120, and facilitating the use of the user.

[0134] Specifically, the air fryer 100 can also be provided with a fan 130. The fan 130 is arranged at the second end of the first air duct 122 and is exposed outside the main body 110. The gas flow in the first air duct 122 can drive the fan 130 to rotate. Specifically, when the air fryer 100 is working, external gas enters the air guiding assembly 120 and is transmitted into the cooking cavity 112 through the first air duct 122 of the air guiding assembly 120. The gas flow in the air guiding assembly 120 drives the fan 130 at the second end of the first air duct 122. Further, the rotation of the fan 130 can reflect the gas flow effect in the air guiding assembly 120. The exposure of the fan 130 allows the rotation of the fan 130 to be observed outside the main body 110. Thus, the user can more intuitively observe the rotation of the fan 130 and thereby understand the air flow condition of the air guiding assembly 120.

[0135] Further, the exposure of the fan 130 outside the main body 110 can be specifically as follows: The specific position of the fan 130 can be placed outside the main body 110, or the fan 130 can be arranged inside the main body 110, or a part of the fan 130 can be arranged outside the main body 110 and another part of the fan 130 can be arranged inside the main body 110. The setting position of the fan 130 only needs to facilitate the user to observe the rotation of the fan 130. The fan 130 can be selected in a color with a high color differentiation degree, which can make it more convenient for the user to observe the rotation of the fan 130. Thus, the user can intuitively understand the gas flow condition of the air guiding assembly 120 through the rotation of the fan 130.

[0136] Further, a support connection method can be adopted to improve the rotation effect of the fan 130. The fan 130 includes a rotating shaft 132 and a plurality of blades 134. The rotating shaft 132 is connected to the seat body 170, and the plurality of blades 134 are arranged circumferentially along the rotating shaft 132. The connection between the rotating shaft 132 and the seat body 170 supports the rotation of the fan 130. When the air fryer 100 is working, the gas flow in the installation cavity 182 and the first air duct 122 drives the fan 130 to rotate along the rotating shaft 132.

[0137] Specifically, the rotating shaft 132 can be rotatably connected to the cover body 180, or the rotating shaft 132 can be rotatably connected between the cover body 180 and the seat body 170 through an extended support member to improve the rotation effect of the fan 130.

[0138] Further, a groove can be provided on the rotating shaft 132 and connected to the extended support members on the cover body 180 and the seat body 170 in a nested form, leaving a gap at the connection to reduce the contact area between the rotating shaft 132 and the support members. Thus, the frictional resistance during the rotation of the fan 130 is reduced, and the rotation efficiency of the fan 130 is improved.

[0139] Further, a material with low density can be applied to make the fan blades of the fan 130, which can increase the wind-receiving area of the fan blades while reducing the weight of the fan 130, thereby improving the working efficiency of the fan 130 and making the rotation of the fan 130 more obvious under the action of gas flow.

[0140] The air fryer 100 further includes a base body 170 and a cover body 180.

[0142] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0143] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air fryer 100 further includes a detection component 190. The detection component 190 is disposed on the main body 110 and is electrically connected to the control component 124. The detection end of the detection component 190 extends into the cooking cavity 112 and can detect the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity 112. The control component 124 can control the valve component 116 to open or close according to the cooking parameters of the cooking cavity 112.

[0144] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a detection component 190 is provided in the air fryer 100. The detection component 190 is arranged on the main body 110 and is electrically connected to the control component 124. The detection end of the detection component 190 extends into the cooking cavity 112. The detection component 190 can detect the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity 112. Since the air fryer 100 is provided with the detection component 190 and the detection end of the detection component 190 extends into the cooking cavity 112, the detection component 190 can detect the real-time cooking parameters in the cooking cavity 112, convert the cooking parameters into an electrical signal form, and by setting the detection component 190, it is beneficial to understand the cooking situation during the cooking process, and the cooking effect can be transmitted to the control component 124 of the air fryer 100 in a digital form, which is convenient for the user's cooking use.

[0145] The control component 124 can control the valve component 116 to open or close according to the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity 112. The control component 124 is connected to the detection component 190 in the form of an electrical signal. When the air fryer 100 works, the detection component 190 transmits the cooking parameters in the cooking cavity 112 to the control component 124 in the form of an electrical signal. The control component 124 executes the opening or closing of the valve component 116 according to the electrical signal of the cooking parameters transmitted by the detection component 190, thereby controlling the conduction or closing of the first air duct 122 of the air guiding component 120. The user can control whether to intake air through the first air duct 122 of the air guiding component 120 according to the actual cooking parameters in the cooking cavity 112, and then can be controlled according to the actual cooking state to improve the taste of the food cooked by the air fryer 100.

[0146] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0147] The detection component 190 is a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor.

[0148] In this embodiment, the detection component 190 is a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor. Since the detection end of the detection component 190 extends into the cooking cavity 112, the detection component 190 includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can collect and convert the temperature inside the cooking cavity 112 into a temperature parameter. Then, through the electrical connection between the detection component 190 and the control component 124, the temperature parameter inside the cooking cavity 112 is transmitted to the control component 124. The detection component 190 includes an oxygen sensor, which can convert the oxygen content inside the cooking cavity 112 into an oxygen content parameter. Then, through the electrical connection between the detection component 190 and the control component 124, the oxygen content parameter inside the cooking cavity 112 is transmitted to the control component 124. The detection component 190 can also be provided with a humidity sensor, which can convert the content of water vapor inside the cooking cavity 112 into a humidity parameter. Then, through the electrical connection between the detection component 190 and the control component 124, the humidity parameter inside the cooking cavity 112 is transmitted to the control component 124. The detection component 190 being a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and / or a humidity sensor can convert the cooking parameters inside the cooking cavity 112 into an electrical signal form, facilitating the air fryer 100 to control the opening or closing of the first air duct 122 of the air induction component 120 by judging the cooking situation in the cooking cavity 112, facilitating the user's cooking operation, and improving the cooking effect.

[0149] Furthermore, a temperature sensor, an oxygen sensor, and a humidity sensor can be simultaneously arranged in the detection component 190 to collect the values of the temperature, oxygen content, and humidity inside the cooking cavity 112. Or a temperature sensor and an oxygen sensor can be arranged to collect the values of the temperature and oxygen content inside the cooking cavity 112. Or a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor can be arranged to collect the values of the temperature and humidity inside the cooking cavity 112. Or a temperature sensor can be separately arranged to collect the value of the temperature inside the cooking cavity 112. An oxygen sensor can be separately arranged to collect the value of the oxygen content inside the cooking cavity 112. Or a humidity sensor can be separately arranged to collect the value of the humidity inside the cooking cavity 112.

[0150] Specifically, according to the usage scenario and actual usage situation of the air fryer 100, flexibly setting the types of sensors in the detection component 190 can improve the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 and facilitate the user's use.

[0151] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0152] Such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the air fryer 100 further includes a second air duct 162. The second air duct 162 is in communication with the first air duct 122, and one end of the second air duct 162 faces the blower 150.

[0153] In this embodiment, since one end of the second air duct 162 faces the blower 150, the flow velocity of the gas increases after flowing into the second air duct 162, and the flow velocity of the air passing through the second end of the first air duct 122 increases. As a result, the negative pressure at the second end of the first air duct 122 increases, and the pressure difference between the first end and the second end of the first air duct 122 becomes larger, thereby accelerating the flow velocity of the gas in the first air duct 122, increasing the gas entering the cooking cavity 112 through the first channel, and further improving the cooking quality of the air fryer 100.

[0154] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0155] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the air fryer 100 further includes an air duct plate 160. The air duct plate 160 and the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 114 define the second air duct 162.

[0156] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 includes an air duct plate 160. The air duct plate 160 and the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 114 define the second air duct 162. The second air duct 162 is in communication with the first air duct 122, and one end of the second air duct 162 faces the blower 150. When the blower 150 operates, it stirs the gas flow in the accommodation cavity 114. The air flow passes through the second end of the first air duct 122, causing a negative pressure to be generated at the second end of the first air duct 122. The pressure at the first end of the first air duct 122 is higher than that at the second end of the first air duct 122. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas obtains a downward driving force, and the gas quickly flows from the air inlet 184 into the cooking cavity 112, improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100.

[0157] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the air flow flows along the d direction of the second air duct 162, increasing the gas flow velocity at the port of the first air duct 122. Fresh outside air enters the air fryer 100 through directions a and b, and enters the cooking cavity 112 along direction c under the action of the pressure difference at both ends in the first air duct 122.

[0158] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0159] The extending direction of the second air duct 162 intersects with the extending direction of the first air duct 122.

[0160] In this embodiment, the extending direction of the second air duct 162 of the air fryer 100 intersects with the extending direction of the first air duct 122. When the blower 150 operates, the gas in the stirring cavity flows rapidly. After the air flow enters the second air duct 162, the air flow quickly passes through the second port of the first air duct 122 and forms a negative pressure at the port. The cross-arrangement of the first air duct 122 and the second air duct 162 plays a role in improving the effect of the pressure difference on air intake, enabling the flow rate of the gas in the first air duct 122 to increase and the air intake efficiency in the cooking cavity 112 to be higher.

[0161] Specifically, the air intake effect on the interior of the cooking cavity 112 is achieved through the pressure difference at the port of the first air duct 122, which can reduce production costs, simplify the production process, reduce working noise, and optimize the user experience.

[0162] This embodiment provides an air fryer 100. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes the following technical features.

[0163] The air fryer 100 further includes a heating component 126, and the heating component 126 is disposed on the main body 110 and opposite to the blower 150.

[0164] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 is provided with a heating component 126. The heating component 126 can serve as a heat source to provide heat for the cooking cavity 112 of the air fryer 100. The heating component 126 is disposed on the main body 110 and opposite to the blower 150. When the air fryer 100 operates, the heating component 126 heats the gas in the cooking cavity 112, and the blower 150 stirs the gas in the cooking cavity 112 to rotate. Because the heating component 126 is opposite to the blower 150, the blower 150 can circulate and heat the gas in the cooking cavity 112. Furthermore, the cooperation between the blower 150 and the heating component 126 can achieve the cooking process of the food in the cooking cavity 112.
