Therefore, the oil-free cooking method of air fryers is becoming more and more popular among people. However, the food cooked by traditional air fryers is usually dry and has a woody texture, resulting in poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present application provides an air fryer with an oil replenishing device to solve the technical problems of poor cooking effect and poor user experience of existing air fryers.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an air fryer with an oil replenishing device, which includes a fryer main body and a cooking cavity provided in the fryer main body. An oil replenishing device is provided above the cooking cavity. The oil replenishing device includes an oil tank, an atomizing nozzle with a nozzle extending into the cooking cavity, and an air pump assembly that connects the atomizing nozzle and the oil tank to pressurize the atomizing nozzle and the oil tank.

By providing the first air pump and the second air pump to pressurize the fuel tank and the atomizing nozzle respectively, the stability of pressurization can be ensured, and the situation of insufficient pressure can be avoided. At the same time, by providing the first air pipeline and the second air pipeline to communicate the first air pump and the second air pump with the fuel tank and the atomizing nozzle respectively, the mutual influence during pressurization can be avoided, thereby improving the pressurization stability and efficiency.
[0008] In an alternative embodiment, the atomizing nozzle is a two-fluid nozzle.

At least a part of the oil replenishment device is located in the heat dissipation air duct. By providing the heat dissipation air duct in the deep fryer body and arranging at least a part of the oil replenishment device in the heat dissipation air duct, the heat dissipation cold flow in the heat dissipation air duct can be used to dissipate heat from the oil replenishment device, thereby reducing the temperature of the oil replenishment device and ensuring the stable operation of the oil replenishment device.
[0010] In an alternative embodiment, the control valve is a solenoid valve, and the control valve is adapted to be electrically connected to the control circuit of the deep fryer body. By setting the control valve as a solenoid valve and electrically connecting it to the control circuit of the deep fryer body, not only can the automatic control of the opening and closing of the oil pipeline be realized, thereby reducing the operation difficulty of the oil replenishment device and improving the use convenience and user experience, but also the injection amount of oil in the cooking cavity can be accurately controlled to achieve precise oil replenishment, thereby improving the oil replenishment effect.
[0011] In an alternative embodiment, the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle is adapted to be disposed opposite the middle of the cooking cavity. By disposing the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle opposite the middle of the cooking cavity, the regional difference in oil spraying of the atomizing nozzle can be avoided, and the oil replenishment effect is effectively improved.

[0028] Embodiment 1:
[0029] Appendix Figure 1 to Appendix Figure 3 As shown in the attached drawings, it is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of an air fryer with an oil replenishing device provided by the present invention. The air fryer includes a fryer main body 10 and a cooking cavity 11 arranged in the fryer main body 10. There is food to be cooked in the cooking cavity 11. An oil replenishing device 20 is arranged above the cooking cavity 11. The oil replenishing device 20 is adapted to atomize oil and spray it into the cooking cavity 11 to replenish oil for the food in the cooking cavity 11.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the oil replenishing device 20 includes an oil tank 21, an atomizing nozzle 22 and an air pump assembly 23. The oil tank 21 is adapted to store oil, and the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 22 is adapted to extend into the cooking cavity 11. An oil delivery pipeline 24 is provided between the atomizing nozzle 22 and the oil tank 21. Through the oil delivery pipeline 24, the oil in the oil tank 21 can be delivered to the atomizing nozzle 22 to supply oil to the atomizing nozzle 22. The air pump assembly 23 is adapted to communicate with the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22 and pressurize the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22. Through the air pump assembly 23, not only can the oil in the oil tank 21 be pressed into the atomizing nozzle 22 to supply oil to the atomizing nozzle 22, but also the air and the oil can be mixed in the atomizing nozzle 22 and ejected from the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 22, so as to atomize the oil to replenish oil for the food in the cooking cavity 11. By arranging the oil replenishing device 20 above the cooking cavity 11, the air fryer can atomize the oil by using the oil replenishing device 20 and spray it into the cooking cavity 11, so as to replenish oil for the food in the cooking cavity 11, thereby improving the cooking effect of the food and the user experience.
[0031] As shown in 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the oil replenishing device 20 further includes a control valve 26. The control valve 25 is arranged on the oil delivery pipeline 24. The control valve 25 is adapted to control the opening and closing of the oil delivery pipeline 24. By controlling the opening and closing of the oil delivery pipeline 24 through the control valve 25, the user can better control the amount of oil sprayed into the cooking cavity 11, thereby achieving a better oil replenishing effect.
[0032] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air pump assembly 23 includes an air pump 231 and an air delivery pipeline 232. There is one air pump 231, and the air pump 231 is adapted to communicate with the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22 respectively through the air delivery pipeline 232. By using one air pump 231 to pressurize the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22, not only can the structure of the oil replenishing device 20 and the air fryer be simplified, but also the synchronization of pressurization can be improved, so that the oil spraying of the atomizing nozzle 22 is more uniform and the oil replenishing effect is better.
[0033] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tee joint 233 is arranged on the air delivery pipeline 232. One end of the tee joint 233 communicates with the air pump 231, and the other two ends communicate with the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22 respectively. By using the tee joint 233 to communicate with the air pump 231, the oil tank 21 and the atomizing nozzle 22 respectively, not only can the structure of the air delivery pipeline 232 be simplified, but also the consumables can be reduced, the production cost and the user cost can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the atomizing nozzle 22 is preferably a two-fluid nozzle. The atomizing nozzle 22 has a mixing chamber 221 communicating with the nozzle, and a first interface 222 and a second interface 223 communicating with the mixing chamber 221. The first interface 222 and the second interface 223 are adapted to communicate with the oil delivery pipeline 24 and the air pump assembly 23 respectively. By using a two-fluid nozzle as the atomizing nozzle 22, the oil inlet and air inlet in the atomizing nozzle 22 will not affect each other, thereby ensuring the stability of oil injection and improving the oil replenishment effect.
[0035] As Figure 2 As shown, a heat dissipation air duct 12 is further provided in the fryer body 10. A heat dissipation assembly 30 is provided in the heat dissipation air duct 12. At least a part of the oil replenishment device 20 is located in the heat dissipation air duct 12. By providing the heat dissipation air duct 12 in the fryer body 10 and arranging at least a part of the oil replenishment device 20 in the heat dissipation air duct 12, the heat dissipation cold flow in the heat dissipation air duct 12 can be used to dissipate heat from the oil replenishment device 20, thereby reducing the temperature of the oil replenishment device 20 and ensuring the stable operation of the oil replenishment device 20.
[0036] In an alternative embodiment, the control valve 25 is preferably an electromagnetic valve. The control valve 25 is adapted to be electrically connected to the control circuit of the fryer body 10. By setting the control valve 25 as an electromagnetic valve and electrically connecting it to the control circuit of the fryer body 10, not only can the opening and closing of the oil delivery pipeline 24 be automatically controlled, thereby reducing the operation difficulty of the oil replenishment device 20 and improving the convenience of use and the user experience; but also the injection amount of oil in the cooking cavity 11 can be accurately controlled to achieve precise oil replenishment, thereby improving the oil replenishment effect.
[0037] As Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 22 is adapted to be disposed opposite to the middle of the cooking cavity 11. By disposing the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 22 opposite to the middle of the cooking cavity 11, the regional difference in oil injection by the atomizing nozzle 22 can be avoided, effectively improving the oil replenishment effect.
[0038] As Figure 3 As shown, an oil storage cavity 211 for storing oil is provided in the fuel tank 21. One end of the oil delivery pipeline 24 connected to the fuel tank 21 is adapted to extend into the oil storage cavity 211 and be located below the oil level; one end of the air delivery pipeline 232 connected to the fuel tank 21 is adapted to extend into the oil storage cavity 211 and be located above the oil level. By respectively disposing the air delivery pipeline 232 and the oil delivery pipeline 24 above and below the oil level in the fuel tank 21, extrusion oil can be realized to ensure the normal oil supply of the fuel tank 21.
[0039] AsFigure 3 As shown, the end of the oil pipeline 24 connected to one end of the fuel tank 21 is adapted to be disposed adjacent to the bottom wall of the oil storage cavity 211. By disposing the end of the oil pipeline 24 adjacent to the bottom of the oil storage cavity 211, the situation where there is oil in the oil storage cavity 211 but the oil cannot be supplied can be avoided, effectively improving the oil supply stability of the fuel tank 21 and ensuring the performance reliability of the oil replenishing device.

The air pump assembly 23A is adapted to communicate with the fuel tank 21A and the atomizing nozzle 22A and pressurize the fuel tank 21A and the atomizing nozzle 22A. Through the air pump assembly 23A, not only can the oil in the fuel tank 21A be pressed into the atomizing nozzle 22A to supply oil to the atomizing nozzle 22A, but also air and oil can be mixed in the atomizing nozzle 22A and sprayed out from the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 22A, thereby atomizing the oil to replenish oil to the food in the cooking cavity 11A. By disposing the oil replenishing device 20A above the cooking cavity 11A, the air fryer can atomize oil and spray it into the cooking cavity 11A through the oil replenishing device 20A, so as to replenish oil to the food in the cooking cavity 11A, thereby improving the cooking effect of the food and the user experience.
[0044] As Figures 3 to 6As shown, the air pump assembly 23A includes an air pump 231A and an air delivery pipeline 232A. The air pump 231A is adapted to be respectively communicated with the fuel tank 21A and the atomizing nozzle 22A through the air delivery pipeline 232A.

By providing the first air pump 2311A and the second air pump 2312A to respectively pressurize the fuel tank 21A and the atomizing nozzle 22A, the stability of pressurization can be ensured and the situation of insufficient pressure can be avoided. At the same time, by providing the first air delivery pipeline 2321A and the second air delivery pipeline 2322A to respectively communicate the first air pump 2311A and the second air pump 2312A with the fuel tank 21A and the atomizing nozzle 22A, the mutual influence during pressurization can be avoided, thereby improving the pressurization stability and efficiency.
