Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air fryers, and in particular to a modular air fryer. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, air fryers are becoming increasingly popular. Traditional air fryers, for example, mostly come with only one set of components. These components are not only poorly adaptable but also relatively scattered. Adjusting the appearance or capacity of the air fryer usually requires redesigning the structure and re-molding the corresponding parts, resulting in high production and operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides a modular air fryer to solve the technical problems of existing air fryers such as poor structural integrity and adjustability, and high production and use costs.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a modular air fryer, comprising a core assembly, a cooking assembly, an upper shell assembly, a lower shell assembly and a frying basket, the core assembly comprising a lower core with an open front, an air suction port being provided in the middle of the rear side wall of the lower core, a plurality of connecting holes being provided on the outer side of the air suction port, and fasteners being limited in the connecting holes; the cooking assembly is arranged on the rear side of the core assembly, the cooking assembly is provided with a fixing hole fixedly connected to the fasteners, the cooking assembly comprises a hot air circulation system capable of generating a circulating airflow, the hot air circulation system having an air outlet extending upward and a return air outlet corresponding to the air suction port; the upper shell assembly is arranged above the core assembly, the upper shell assembly comprises an air duct plate, the lower side of the air duct plate is connected to the lower shell assembly, and the upper shell assembly comprises an air duct plate. The top of the movement is connected, and an annular air guide cavity which is concave upward and opens downward is provided in the middle of the air duct plate, and the air guide cavity is connected to the air outlet; the lower shell assembly is arranged below the movement assembly, and together with the movement assembly and the upper shell assembly, forms a cooking cavity with an open front side; the frying basket is detachably arranged in the cooking cavity through the front opening of the cooking cavity, the top opening of the frying basket is at least partially located directly below the air guide cavity, and the lower part of the frying basket is provided with a hot air hole connected to the air suction port; the circulating airflow generated by the hot air circulation system is suitable for flowing into the air guide cavity through the air outlet, and is downwardly guided by the air guide cavity to the frying basket, and then flows back to the hot air circulation system through the hot air hole, the air suction port, and the return air port in sequence. The present application divides the air fryer as a whole into several different components and connects these components to form the air fryer, which not only effectively improves the structural integrity of the air fryer, but also effectively reduces the installation difficulty and production cost of the air fryer; at the same time, the air fryer sets the upper shell assembly, the lower shell assembly and the cooking assembly as universal module assemblies, and sets the frying basket, the core assembly and the side cover assembly as variable module assemblies, so that the capacity of the air fryer can be adjusted by replacing the core assembly of different heights and the frying basket matching the core assembly, so that the air fryer can adapt to different capacity requirements, thereby improving the applicability of the air fryer product and reducing the production cost of the air fryer; in addition, setting the side cover assembly as a variable module assembly not only can adjust the color matching of the air fryer by replacing the side cover assembly to meet more user needs, but also can effectively improve the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the upper shell assembly is provided with a viewing port corresponding to the top opening of the frying basket, a viewing component is provided at the viewing port to close the viewing port, and the air guide cavity is adapted to be disposed around the outer side of the viewing port. By providing the viewing port corresponding to the top opening of the frying basket on the upper shell assembly and disposing the viewing component made of a high-temperature resistant transparent material at the viewing port, the situation within the frying basket can be visualized, allowing the user to intuitively observe the cooking status of the food in the frying basket, thereby better cooking the food. At the same time, by disposing the air guide cavity around the outer edge of the viewing port, the airflow blown out of the air outlet can be diverted, thereby preventing regional accumulation of airflow from the air outlet, which would affect the cooking effect.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, a heating assembly is provided within the air guide cavity, comprising a heating tube, which is a light wave tube, adapted to surround the inner wall of the air guide cavity. By placing the heating assembly within the air guide cavity, the airflow from the air outlet can be better heated, thereby improving heating efficiency. Furthermore, by using a light wave tube as the heating tube and surrounding the inner wall of the air guide cavity, not only can the cooking cavity be illuminated, thereby improving visibility and visual quality within the cooking cavity, but it can also achieve uniform heating of the airflow within the air guide cavity, avoiding variations in cooking areas and effectively improving cooking efficiency and quality.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, a light-guiding enclosure is provided at the outer edge of the viewing port, and the heating tube is disposed outside the light-guiding enclosure. Light generated by the heating tube is adapted to be directed by the light-guiding enclosure toward the lower housing assembly. By providing the light-guiding enclosure at the outer edge of the viewing port and disposing the heating tube outside the light-guiding enclosure, not only can the light generated by the heating tube be blocked to prevent it from affecting the visibility and visual effect of the viewing port, but the light generated by the heating tube can also be directed toward the lower housing assembly, thereby improving visibility and visual effect within the cooking cavity.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the upper shell assembly includes an upper core, which is arranged above the air duct plate, and a ring-shaped heat dissipation cavity is formed between the upper core and the air duct plate; a side cover assembly matching the core assembly is provided on the outside of the core assembly, and a heat dissipation duct connected to the heat dissipation cavity is formed between the side cover assembly, the core assembly and the lower shell assembly; a heat dissipation fan system connected to the heat dissipation cavity is provided on the back of the hot air circulation system, and a cold air inlet and a cold air outlet connected to the atmosphere are respectively provided on the side cover assembly and the lower shell assembly, and the cold air inlet and the cold air outlet are suitable for connecting to the heat dissipation fan system and the heat dissipation duct respectively. By arranging the upper core above the air duct plate and using the upper core and the air duct plate to form the annular heat dissipation cavity, not only can the heat dissipation of the air guide cavity be achieved, but also the heat insulation of the air guide cavity can be achieved, thereby preventing the high-temperature heat in the air guide cavity from being transferred to the outside of the air guide cavity to affect the normal operation of other electrical components; at the same time, by arranging the heat dissipation fan system connected to the heat dissipation cavity on the back of the hot air circulation system, and arranging the heat dissipation air duct connected to the heat dissipation cavity on the outside of the core assembly, the heat dissipation of the air fryer body can be achieved, thereby reducing the body temperature and improving the user experience.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation fan system includes a heat dissipation port communicating with the heat dissipation cavity and an air guide and diverter disposed at the heat dissipation port, the air guide and diverter being adapted to direct airflow from the heat dissipation port into the heat dissipation cavity from at least two directions. The air guide and diverter is adapted to function as a diversion and guide, and the airflow from the heat dissipation port can be more evenly directed into the heat dissipation cavity through the air guide and diverter, thereby evenly dissipating heat from the air guide cavity and effectively improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the cold air inlet and the cold air outlet are adapted to be disposed on the rear side of the side cover assembly and the bottom of the lower shell assembly, respectively. By disposing the cold air inlet and the cold air outlet on the rear side of the side cover assembly and the bottom of the lower shell assembly, respectively, the cold air inlet and the cold air outlet can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air fryer product.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the lower housing assembly includes a support shell and a mating member disposed above the support shell and fixedly connected to the support shell. The mating member mates with the lower core, with the upper portion of the mating member and the lower core being adapted to enclose at least a portion of the cooking cavity, and the lower portion being at least partially located within the heat dissipation duct. By disposing the lower portion of the mating member within the heat dissipation duct, heat can be dissipated from the mating member via the cooling airflow within the heat dissipation duct, thereby preventing high temperatures within the cooking cavity from being transferred to the outside of the cooking cavity through the mating member, causing localized overheating.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the mating component is suitably made of a high-temperature resistant metal material. Using a high-temperature resistant metal material to manufacture the mating component can prevent the high temperature within the cooking chamber from affecting the mating component, effectively improving the performance stability and connection stability of the mating component, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air fryer.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the cooking assembly includes a deflector disposed at least partially around the hot air circulation system, with an upper portion of the deflector adapted to extend upward and form a guide channel communicating with the air outlet. By disposing the deflector around the hot air circulation system outside the hot air circulation system, the circulating airflow generated by the hot air circulation system can be blocked and collected, then directed into the air guide cavity through the guide channel and the air outlet, thereby improving airflow circulation efficiency within the cooking cavity and cooking efficiency.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] The present application divides the air fryer into several different components and connects these components to form the air fryer, which can not only effectively improve the structural integrity of the air fryer, but also effectively reduce the installation difficulty and production cost of the air fryer. At the same time, the modular setting of the air fryer product can realize the adjustment of the capacity, color and shape of the air fryer product by replacing the corresponding components, thereby realizing free matching and customized personalized services according to user needs, which can effectively improve the user experience and reduce production costs.

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the numerical expressions and the numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0030] And for ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 80 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more." That is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be one or more. The term "a" should not be construed as limiting the number. The use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meanings and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Attachment Figure 1 To the attached Figure 10 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a modular air fryer provided by the present invention, the air fryer includes a core assembly 10, a cooking assembly 20, an upper shell assembly 30 and a lower shell assembly 40, the upper shell assembly 30 and the lower shell assembly 40 are suitable for being respectively arranged above and below the core assembly 10, and forming a cooking cavity 50 with the core assembly 10 with the front side open, a heating assembly 60 is provided on the top of the cooking cavity 50, and a frying basket 70 for holding food is detachably provided in the cooking cavity 50 through the front side opening; the cooking assembly 20 is arranged on the rear side of the core assembly 10 and is connected to the cooking cavity 50.

[0033] Specifically, if Figure 9 As shown, the movement assembly 10 includes a lower movement 11 with an open front, an air intake 12 is provided in the middle of the rear side wall of the lower movement 11, a plurality of connecting holes are provided on the outside of the air intake 12, and fasteners are limited in the connecting holes; the cooking assembly 20 is provided on the rear side of the movement assembly 10, and a fixing hole fixedly connected to the fastener is provided on the cooking assembly 20, and the movement assembly 10 and the cooking assembly 20 are suitable for being fixedly connected through the fasteners and the fixing holes.

[0034] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the cooking component 20 includes a mounting plate 21 and a hot air circulation system 22 provided on the mounting plate 21 and capable of generating a circulating airflow, the hot air circulation system 22 having an upwardly extending air outlet 221 and a return air outlet 222 corresponding to the air inlet 12; the upper shell component 30 is adapted to be arranged above the core component 10, the upper shell component 30 includes an air duct plate 31 and a fixing component for fixing the air duct plate 31, the lower side of the air duct plate 31 is adapted to be connected to the top of the lower core 11, and the middle portion of the air duct plate 31 is provided with an annular The air fryer 70 has an air guide cavity 311, the air guide cavity 311 being adapted to communicate with the air outlet 221. The top opening of the frying basket 70 is at least partially located directly below the air guide cavity 311. A hot air hole 71 communicating with the air intake 12 is provided at the bottom of the frying basket 70. The circulating airflow generated by the hot air circulation system 22 is adapted to flow into the air guide cavity 311 through the air outlet 221, and then be directed downward by the air guide cavity 311 into the frying basket 70. The circulating airflow then flows back to the hot air circulation system 20 sequentially through the hot air hole 71, the air intake 12, and the return air vent 222. By dividing the air fryer into several different components and connecting these components to form the air fryer, the air fryer can not only effectively improve its structural integrity but also effectively reduce the difficulty of installation and production cost. In addition, in the air fryer, the upper shell assembly 30, the lower shell assembly 40 and the cooking assembly 20 are suitable for being fixed universal module assemblies, while the frying basket 70 and the core assembly 10 are suitable for being variable module assemblies with variable heights. By setting the upper shell assembly 30, the lower shell assembly 40 and the cooking assembly 20 as universal module assemblies and setting the frying basket 70 and the core assembly 10 as variable module assemblies, the air fryer can not only adjust the capacity of the air fryer by replacing the core assembly of different heights and the frying basket matching the core assembly, so that the air fryer can adapt to different capacity requirements, thereby improving the applicability of the air fryer product, but also effectively reducing the production cost of the air fryer.

[0035] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the upper housing assembly 30 is provided with a viewing port 32 corresponding to the top opening of the frying basket 70. A viewing component 33 is provided at the viewing port 32 to seal the viewing port 32. The viewing component 33 is at least partially made of a high-temperature resistant transparent material such as heat-resistant transparent glass or heat-resistant transparent plastic. By providing the viewing port 32 on the upper housing assembly 30 corresponding to the top opening of the frying basket 70 and providing the viewing component 33 at the viewing port 32, the contents of the frying basket 70 can be viewed, allowing the user to intuitively observe the cooking status of the food in the frying basket 70, thereby better cooking the food.

[0036] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the air guide cavity 311 is suitable for being arranged around the outside of the visual port 32. By arranging the air guide cavity 311 around the outer edge of the visual port 32, the airflow blown out of the air outlet 221 can be diverted to avoid regional aggregation of the airflow blown out of the air outlet 221, thereby affecting the cooking effect.

[0037] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, a heating assembly 60 is provided within the air guide cavity 311. The heating assembly 60 includes a heating tube 61, which is preferably a light wave tube. The heating tube 61 is adapted to surround the inner wall of the air guide cavity 311. By locating the heating assembly 60 within the air guide cavity 311, the airflow from the air outlet 221 can be better heated, thereby improving heating efficiency. Furthermore, by using a light wave tube as the heating tube 61 and surrounding the inner wall of the air guide cavity 311, not only can the interior of the cooking cavity 50 be illuminated, thereby improving visibility and visual effects within the cooking cavity 50, but it can also achieve uniform heating of the airflow within the air guide cavity 311, thereby avoiding the occurrence of differentiated cooking areas and effectively improving cooking efficiency and cooking effects.

[0038] like Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, a light-guiding enclosure 34 is provided at the outer edge of the viewing port 32, and the heating tube 61 is adapted to be disposed outside the light-guiding enclosure 34. The light generated by the heating tube 61 is adapted to be directed by the light-guiding enclosure 34 toward the lower housing assembly 40. By providing the light-guiding enclosure 34 at the outer edge of the viewing port 32 and disposing the heating tube 61 outside the light-guiding enclosure 34, not only can the light generated by the heating tube 61 be blocked to prevent it from affecting the visibility and visual effect of the viewing port 32, but the light generated by the heating tube 61 can also be directed toward the lower housing assembly 40, thereby improving the visibility and visual effect within the cooking cavity 50.

[0039] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the upper shell assembly 30 includes an upper core 35 and an upper cover, the upper core 35 is arranged above the air duct plate 31, and the upper cover is suitable for covering the upper core 35. The upper cover is provided with an operation panel and a visual panel corresponding to the visual port 32, and the visual panel is suitable for being made of transparent materials such as transparent plastic and transparent glass; an annular heat dissipation cavity 36 is suitable for being formed between the upper core 35 and the air duct plate 31, and the heat dissipation cavity 36 is suitable for being arranged around the visual port 32. By arranging the heat dissipation cavity 36 outside the visual port 32, not only can the visual component 33, the upper core 35 and the air duct plate 31 be dissipated, and the high temperature heat in the cooking cavity 50 can be avoided from being transferred to the surface of the upper cover, thereby causing burns to the user, but also the temperature in the upper shell assembly 30 can be avoided from being too high, thereby affecting the normal operation of electrical components such as the control circuit and the circuit board, and can effectively improve the safety of use and performance reliability of the air fryer product.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a side cover assembly 80 matching the core assembly 10 is provided on the outside of the core assembly 10. The side cover assembly 80 is preferably a variable module assembly. By setting the side cover assembly 80 as a variable module assembly, not only can the color matching of the air fryer be adjusted by replacing the side cover assembly 80 to meet more user needs, but also the user experience can be effectively improved.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, a heat dissipation duct 90 is formed between the side cover assembly 80, the core assembly 10, and the lower shell assembly 40, communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 36. A heat dissipation fan system 23 communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 36 is provided on the back of the hot air circulation system 22. A cold air inlet 81 and a cold air outlet 41 communicating with the atmosphere are provided on the side cover assembly 80 and the lower shell assembly 40, respectively. The cold air inlet 81 and the cold air outlet 41 are adapted to communicate with the heat dissipation fan system 22 and the heat dissipation duct 90, respectively. By providing the heat dissipation fan system 23 communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 36 on the back of the hot air circulation system 22, and providing the heat dissipation duct 90 communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 36 on the outside of the core assembly 10, heat can be dissipated from the air fryer body, thereby reducing the body temperature and improving the user experience.

[0042] like Figure 5 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the heat dissipation fan system 23 includes a heat dissipation port 231 communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 36 and an air guide and diverter 232 disposed at the heat dissipation port 231. The air guide and diverter 232 is adapted to direct the airflow from the heat dissipation port 231 into the heat dissipation cavity 36 from at least two directions. The air guide and diverter 232 is adapted to serve as a diversion and guide, and the airflow from the heat dissipation port 231 can be more evenly directed into the heat dissipation cavity 36 through the air guide and diverter 232, thereby evenly dissipating heat from the air guide cavity 311 and effectively improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the cold air inlet 81 and the cold air outlet 41 are adapted to be respectively disposed at the rear side of the side cover assembly 80 and the bottom of the lower shell assembly 40. By disposing the cold air inlet 81 and the cold air outlet 41 at the rear side of the side cover assembly 80 and the bottom of the lower shell assembly 40, respectively, the cold air inlet 81 and the cold air outlet 41 can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air fryer product.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the lower housing assembly 40 includes a support shell 42 and a mating member 43 disposed above and fixedly connected to the support shell 42. The mating member 43 is adapted to mate with the lower core 11. The upper portion of the mating member 43 is adapted to enclose at least a portion of the cooking cavity 50 with the lower core 11, while the lower portion is at least partially located within the heat dissipation duct 90. By disposing the lower portion of the mating member 43 within the heat dissipation duct 90, heat is dissipated from the mating member 43 via the cooling airflow within the heat dissipation duct 90, thereby preventing high temperatures within the cooking cavity 50 from being transferred to the outside of the cooking cavity 50 through the mating member 43, which could cause localized overheating.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the mating member 43 is preferably made of a high-temperature resistant metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Using a high-temperature resistant metal material to manufacture the mating member 43 prevents the high temperature within the cooking chamber 50 from affecting the mating member 43, effectively improving the performance and connection stability of the mating member 43, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air fryer.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the cooking component 20 also includes a guide plate 24, which is at least partially arranged around the hot air circulation system 22. The upper part of the guide plate 24 is suitable for extending upward and forming a guide channel 241 connected to the air outlet 221. The guide channel 241 and the guide plate 24 are suitable for playing a guiding and gathering role. By arranging the guide plate 24 surrounding the hot air circulation system 22 on the outside of the hot air circulation system 22, the circulating airflow generated by the hot air circulation system 22 can be blocked and gathered and then introduced into the air guide cavity 311 through the guide channel 241 and the air outlet 221, thereby improving the airflow circulation efficiency and cooking efficiency in the cooking cavity 50.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 7As shown, when installing the air fryer, it is suitable to first install the lower shell assembly 40 on the bottom of the core assembly 10, then install the upper shell assembly 40 on the top of the core assembly 10, and then install the cooking assembly 20 on the rear side of the core assembly 10, and finally install the side cover assembly 80 on the outside of the core assembly 10 and the cooking assembly 20, and set the frying basket 70 in the cooking cavity 50. In the air fryer, by first connecting the core assembly 10 with the lower shell assembly 40, not only can the lower shell assembly 40 be prevented from scratching the work surface when connected to other components, but also the lower shell assembly 40 can form a better support for the core assembly 10, so as to facilitate the installation of subsequent components; at the same time, since the upper shell assembly 30, the lower shell assembly 40 and the cooking assembly 20 are universal module components, they are fixed, and the core assembly 10, the side cover assembly 80 and the frying basket 70 are variable module components, which are convertible, therefore, when installing, first select the required core assembly 10 Connecting with the upper shell assembly 30 and the lower shell assembly 40, then installing the cooking assembly 20, and finally installing the outermost side cover assembly 80, is not only conducive to determining the final capacity of the air fryer and selecting the corresponding frying basket 70, but also facilitates the correspondence and installation of the cooking assembly 20 and the side cover assembly 80, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of installing the air fryer; and, since the side cover assembly 80 is a variable module assembly, the last installation of the side cover assembly 80 is also convenient for selecting the corresponding side cover assembly 80 according to user needs and the appearance of the main body, so as to enhance the overall aesthetics of the air fryer and the user experience.
