Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of food frying equipment, and particularly relates to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum frying equipment requires oil to conduct heat to cook the food. In order to ensure the frying effect, a large amount of oil needs to be placed in the vacuum frying equipment, which leads to oil waste. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a cooking device to solve the technical problem that existing vacuum frying devices require a large amount of oil during use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: The first aspect of this application provides a cooking apparatus, comprising: case; The frying chamber is installed on the shell. The frying chamber includes a bottom end and an opening end of the oil tank that are disposed opposite each other. The frying chamber is inclined through the axis of the bottom end and the opening end of the oil tank. The frying basket is placed inside the frying chamber; The drive unit, located inside the housing, is used to drive the frying basket to rotate relative to the frying chamber.

[0005] In this application, by designing the frying chamber to be inclined, oil is prevented from concentrating in the frying chamber. In addition, the drive device rotates the frying basket in the frying chamber, which helps to maximize the contact between the food in the frying basket and the oil when the amount of oil is small. Compared with the existing related technologies, it can reduce the amount of oil used while satisfying the requirement of frying and cooking food, thus achieving the effect of saving oil.

[0006] In some implementations, lifting ribs are provided on the inner side of the frying basket. The lifting ribs are used to disturb the oil that has been immersed in the frying chamber when the frying basket rotates.

[0007] In this implementation, when the driving device rotates the frying basket, the lifting ribs on the inner side of the frying basket also rotate. During the rotation, the lifting ribs continuously come into contact with the oil immersed in the frying basket and generate relative motion, thereby disturbing the oil. This facilitates the rolling and splashing of the oil in the frying chamber, thereby raising the oil level and making it easier for the oil to be poured onto the food. This ensures that the food in the frying basket is fully in contact with the oil, thus ensuring that the food is heated evenly and helping to maintain the cooking effect even with a small amount of oil.

[0008] In some implementations, at least two lifting ribs are spaced apart along the circumference of the blasting basket to form a ring of lifting ribs, and at least two rings of lifting ribs are spaced apart along the axial direction of the blasting basket, with adjacent rings of lifting ribs being staggered in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the blasting basket.

[0009] In this implementation, by limiting the distribution of the lifting ribs on the inner side of the frying basket, the multi-ring staggered lifting ribs can guide the oil to rise step by step, which can significantly enhance the disturbance effect of the oil and help increase the liquid level of the oil. This allows the food to come into more full contact with the hot oil during the cooking process, so as to achieve uniform frying of the food even with less oil.

[0010] In some implementations, the lifting ribs include a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the circumferential direction of the blasting basket, the direction from the first side to the second side being the rotation direction of the blasting basket, and a recessed groove is formed on the second side.

[0011] In this implementation, the direction from the first side to the second side is defined as the rotation direction of the frying basket, and a recessed groove is formed on the second side. When the frying basket rotates, the recessed groove on the second side can hold a certain amount of oil so as to lift the oil and increase the oil level.

[0012] In some implementations, the frying chamber and frying basket are cylindrical, and the frying chamber and frying basket are arranged coaxially.

[0013] In this implementation, the frying chamber and frying basket are designed in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical frying chamber provides a regular space for the oil. Combined with the inclined design of the frying chamber, it helps to maximize the contact between the food in the frying basket and the oil when the amount of oil is small. The coaxial arrangement of the frying chamber and frying basket facilitates the formation of a stable cooking environment and promotes the smooth rotation of the frying basket.

[0014] In some implementations, the cooking apparatus also includes a top cover, with the oil tank opening of the frying chamber protruding from the outer side of the housing, and the top cover positioned at the oil tank opening of the frying chamber.

[0015] In this implementation, the oil compartment opening protrudes from the outer side of the shell to increase the volume and capacity of the frying compartment, allowing it to hold more food.

[0016] In some implementations, the inclination angle of the frying bin through the axis of the bottom end and the opening end of the oil bin ranges from 30° to 60°.

[0017] In this implementation, the inclination angle of the axis passing through the bottom and opening of the frying chamber is set to a range of 30° to 60°. This prevents the oil from concentrating at the bottom of the frying chamber when the inclination angle is too large, which would hinder the contact between the food and the oil in the frying basket. Conversely, it prevents the oil from entering the frying basket through the upper hole and contacting the food when the amount of oil is small when the inclination angle is too small.

[0018] In some implementations, the cooking apparatus also includes a frying basket cover, the frying basket having a bottom end and an opening end disposed opposite each other, the frying basket cover being disposed at the opening end of the frying basket and the frying basket cover being detachably connected to the frying basket.

[0019] In this implementation, the cooking device also includes a frying basket cover, which is located at the opening of the frying basket. The frying basket cover can prevent food from splashing inside the frying basket when the cooking device is working, thereby maintaining a clean and hygienic cooking environment and improving operational safety.

[0020] In some implementations, the cooking device also includes an anti-sway shaft and a top cover located at the opening of the oil tank. The frying basket cover has a mating hole through which the anti-sway shaft passes, and one end of the anti-sway shaft is rotatably connected to the top cover. The driving device includes an output end that is inserted into the frying chamber through the bottom of the oil tank and is sealed to the bottom of the oil tank. The other end of the anti-sway shaft is inserted into the output end, and the output end can drive the frying basket and the anti-sway shaft to rotate when it rotates.

[0021] In this implementation, one end of the anti-sway shaft is rotatably connected to the top cover, and the other end of the anti-sway shaft passes through the mating hole on the frying basket cover and is connected to the output end of the drive device. The anti-sway shaft can radially limit the frying basket cover, thereby radially limiting the frying basket, which helps to improve the stability of the frying basket when rotating, prevent the frying basket from shaking, and prevent the frying basket from colliding with the frying tank.

[0022] In some implementations, the anti-sway shaft can be fixed to the blast basket cover; or, the anti-sway shaft can be slidably connected to the blast basket cover along the axial direction of the anti-sway shaft.

[0023] When it is necessary to remove the frying basket and its lid, the anti-sway shaft can be used to lift the frying basket and its lid out of the frying chamber, which is convenient for users and improves the user experience. The anti-sway shaft is fixed to the frying basket lid, which simplifies the structure of the cooking device. The anti-sway shaft is slidably connected to the frying basket lid, which increases the length of the anti-sway shaft extending out of the frying basket when it is lifted, making it easier for users to remove the frying basket and its lid.

[0024] In some implementations, the anti-sway shaft includes a shaft end and a shaft body. The shaft end is located at one end of the shaft body and the two are connected. The shaft end is rotatably connected to the top cover. The shaft body passes through a mating hole. A protruding part is formed on the shaft body to prevent the anti-sway shaft from detaching from the frying basket cover through the mating hole. The cooking device also includes an elastic element, which is sleeved on the shaft body and located between the shaft end and the frying basket cover.

[0025] In this implementation, the anti-sway shaft includes a shaft end and a shaft body, with a protruding portion formed on the shaft body. This allows the anti-sway shaft to be slidably connected to the frying basket lid while simultaneously limiting the anti-sway shaft to the frying basket. The cooking device also includes an elastic element. When the frying basket is opened, the anti-sway shaft can pop outward under the elastic force of the elastic element, making it convenient for the user to remove the frying basket and frying basket lid through the anti-sway shaft. When the frying basket lid is closed on the frying chamber, the shaft end presses against the elastic element and the frying basket lid, providing elastic pressure to the frying basket lid and ensuring a stable connection between the frying basket and the output end, thus improving the stability of the frying basket during rotation.

[0026] In some implementations, the cooking apparatus also includes an oil storage tank and an extraction device, with the oil storage tank located inside the housing and the extraction device connecting the oil storage tank and the frying chamber.

[0027] In this implementation, when the pump rotates in the forward direction, the oil in the oil storage tank can be added to the frying tank through the pump; when the pump rotates in the reverse direction, the oil in the frying tank can flow to the oil storage tank through the pump, so as to facilitate the user's use of the cooking device and improve the user experience.

[0038] Please see Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cooking apparatus 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a front view schematic diagram of a cooking apparatus 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. For ease of description, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the length direction of the cooking device 1000 is defined as the X-axis direction, the width direction as the Y-axis direction, and the height direction as the Z-axis direction. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are all perpendicular to each other.

[0039] This application provides a cooking device 1000 for frying food. In some examples, the cooking device 1000 can be set as a vacuum cooking device, that is, when the cooking device 1000 is in working state, a vacuum can be drawn inside the cooking device 1000 to fry the food inside the cooking device 1000 under vacuum, which is beneficial for cooking the food inside the cooking device 1000 when the oil temperature is relatively low (such as 80-100°C).

[0040] Specifically, please see Figures 1-2 The cooking apparatus 1000 provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 10 and a frying chamber 20, with the frying chamber 20 disposed on the housing 10.

[0041] It is understandable that the shell 10 is the external structure of the cooking device 1000, and its main function is to house and protect the various internal components of the cooking device 1000; the frying chamber 20 is a container for holding cooking oil, and the material of the frying chamber 20 is usually made of food-grade and high-temperature resistant material to ensure the safety of the cooking process.

[0042] Please see Figures 3-4 , Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a cooking apparatus 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the frying chamber 20, frying basket 30, driving device 40 and extraction device 110 provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cooking apparatus 1000 provided in this application embodiment also includes a frying basket 30 and a driving device 40. The frying basket 30 is disposed in the frying chamber 20, and the driving device 40 is disposed in the housing 10. The driving device 40 is used to drive the frying basket 30 to rotate relative to the frying chamber 20.

[0044] The frying basket 30 is a container for holding food to be cooked. It is typically mesh-like or porous, allowing the oil in the frying chamber 20 to seep into the basket and contact the food. The frying basket 30 is movably positioned within the frying chamber 20; it can be placed inside or removed from the frying chamber 20. When the frying basket 30 is movably positioned within the frying chamber 20, it is connected to the drive device 40, which provides rotational power to the basket 30, facilitating the movement of the food in the oil and optimizing heating.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The frying chamber 20 includes a bottom end 21 and an opening end 22 of the frying chamber that are disposed opposite to each other. Figure 3 The dashed line L indicates the axis of the frying chamber 20 passing through the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber. The frying chamber 20 is set at an angle along the axis of the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber.

[0046] This can be understood as the frying chamber 20 being set at an angle. The angled setting of the frying chamber 20 prevents the oil from concentrating in the frying chamber 20. When the amount of oil is small, it can maximize the contact between the food in the frying basket 30 and the oil, so that the oil can conduct heat to cook the food in the frying basket 30.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, by designing the frying chamber 20 to be inclined and cooperating with the drive device 40 to make the frying basket 30 rotate in the frying chamber 20, it is helpful to maximize the contact between the food and the oil in the frying basket 30 when the amount of oil is small. Compared with the existing related technologies, while satisfying the requirement to fry and cook the food, the amount of oil used can be reduced as much as possible, thus achieving the effect of saving oil.

[0048] In some embodiments, the frying chamber 20 and the frying basket 30 are cylindrical, and the frying chamber 20 and the frying basket 30 are coaxially arranged.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 The frying basket 30 includes a bottom end 31 and an opening end 32 of the frying basket that are arranged opposite to each other. The bottom end 31 of the frying basket is directly opposite the bottom end 21 of the oil tank, and the opening end 32 of the frying basket is close to the opening end 22 of the oil tank. The frying tank 20 and the frying basket 30 are arranged coaxially, and there is a gap between the outer circumferential side of the frying basket 30 and the inner circumferential side of the frying tank 20. There is also a gap between the bottom end 31 of the frying basket and the bottom end 21 of the oil tank.

[0050] In this embodiment, the frying chamber 20 and the frying basket 30 are designed in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical frying chamber 20 provides a regular space for the oil. Combined with the inclined design of the frying chamber 20, it helps to maximize the contact between the food in the frying basket 30 and the oil when the amount of oil is small. The coaxial arrangement of the frying chamber 20 and the frying basket 30 facilitates the formation of a stable cooking environment and improves the stability of the rotation of the frying basket 30.

[0051] In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the frying chamber 20 through the axis of the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber is in the range of 30° to 60°.

[0052] The inclination angle of the axis passing through the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the frying chamber 20 is in the range of 30°~60°, which means that the frying chamber 20 is as follows: Figure 4 The angle between the axis L shown and the horizontal plane is in the range of 30° to 60°.

[0053] For example, in some examples, the inclination angle of the frying chamber 20 through the axis of the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber can be set to 30°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55° or 60°, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the frying chamber 20 through the axis of the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber is set to be in the range of 30°~60°. This is to prevent the oil from concentrating at the bottom of the frying chamber 20 when the inclination angle of the axis of the frying chamber 20 through the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber is too large, which would be detrimental to the contact between the food and the oil in the frying basket 30. Conversely, if the inclination angle of the frying chamber 20 through the axis of the bottom end 21 and the opening end 22 of the oil chamber is too small, it would be detrimental to the oil in the frying chamber 20 immersing into the frying basket 30 through the upper hole and contacting the food when the amount of oil is small.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The cooking device 1000 also includes a top cover 60. The oil tank opening end 22 of the frying chamber 20 protrudes from the outer side of the housing 10. The top cover 60 is disposed at the oil tank opening end 22 of the frying chamber 20, and the top cover 60 is sealed to the frying chamber 20.

[0056] In this embodiment, by setting the oil tank opening end 22 of the frying tank 20 to protrude from the outer side of the shell 10, the volume and capacity of the frying tank 20 are increased, so that the frying tank 20 can hold more food.

[0057] See some examples. Figure 3 The length of the portion of the frying chamber 20 located inside the housing 10 along the axial direction of the frying chamber 20 can be set to be greater than the length of the portion of the frying chamber 20 located outside the housing 10 along the axial direction of the frying chamber 20, so that the cooking device 1000 can be stably supported on the support surface.

[0058] See some examples. Figure 1 The housing 10 includes a front side 11, along... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow Y is such that the front side 11 is inclined from top to bottom. For example, the front side 11 can be set perpendicular to the axis of the frying chamber 20 to avoid the front side 11 affecting the user's operation of opening the frying chamber 20 by the top cover 60.

[0059] In some examples, the frying chamber 20 may be configured to be supported only on the housing 10; or, in other examples, a support frame may be provided inside the housing 10 to support the frying chamber 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The cooking apparatus 1000 also includes an oil storage tank 90 and an extraction device 110. The oil storage tank 90 is disposed within the housing 10, and the extraction device 110 connects the oil storage tank 90 and the frying chamber 20. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The pipeline connecting the oil storage tank 90 and the extraction device 110 is not shown in the diagram.

[0061] See some examples. Figure 1 The front side 11 of the housing 10 is provided with a housing opening 12, which is located below the frying chamber 20. The oil storage chamber 90 is inserted into the housing 10 through the housing opening 12. The oil storage chamber 90 is detachably connected to the extraction device 110 so that the oil storage chamber 90 can be extracted from the housing 10.

[0062] In some examples, the extraction device 110 may be connected to the bottom end 21 of the oil tank to extract the oil in the frying tank 20 to the oil storage tank 90.

[0063] In some examples, a valve body may be provided at the position where the extraction device 110 is connected to the frying chamber 20, and the internal connection between the extraction device 110 and the frying chamber 20 can be changed by the opening and closing state of the valve body.

[0064] When the extraction device 110 is working, the oil extracted by the extraction device 110 from the frying chamber 20 can be discharged into the oil storage chamber 90, allowing the user to handle the oil in the oil storage chamber 90. Alternatively, when the extraction device 110 is working, the oil in the oil storage chamber 90 can be added to the frying chamber 20 via the extraction device 110. When using the cooking device 1000, the user can put oil into the oil storage chamber 90 and use the extraction device 110 to input the oil from the oil storage chamber 90 into the frying chamber 20. Specifically, the extraction device 110 can include an extraction pump. When the extraction pump rotates forward, the oil in the oil storage chamber 90 can be added to the frying chamber 20 via the extraction pump; when the extraction pump rotates in reverse, the oil in the frying chamber 20 can flow to the oil storage chamber 90 via the extraction pump.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, the cooking device 1000 is further provided with an oil storage tank 90 and an extraction device 110 to further facilitate the user's use of the cooking device 1000 and improve the user experience.

[0066] Please see Figures 5-6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the frying basket 30 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the frying basket 30 provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The inner side of the frying basket 30 is provided with lifting ribs 50. The lifting ribs 50 are used to disturb the oil that is immersed in the frying basket 30 from the frying chamber 20 when the frying basket 30 rotates, so as to raise the liquid level of the oil.

[0068] In some examples, the lifting ribs 50 may be attached to the blast basket 30 by pasting, welding, or connecting via connectors.

[0069] When the drive device 40 drives the frying basket 30 to rotate, the lifting ribs 50 set on the inner side of the frying basket 30 also rotate. During the rotation, the lifting ribs 50 will continuously contact the oil immersed in the frying basket 30 and generate relative movement, thereby disturbing the oil. This facilitates the rolling and splashing of the oil in the frying chamber 20, thereby raising the oil level and making it easier for the oil to be poured onto the food. This ensures that the food in the frying basket 30 is fully in contact with the oil, thus ensuring that the food is heated evenly.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, by providing lifting ribs 50 on the inner side of the frying basket 30, it is helpful to ensure the cooking effect even when the amount of oil is small. In some scenarios, by limiting the design of the frying chamber 20 to be inclined and providing lifting ribs 50 on the inner side of the frying basket 30, the cooking effect can still be guaranteed even when the amount of oil is reduced by about 1 / 3, which greatly reduces the cost of oil, reduces oil waste, and at the same time reduces the oil content of fried food and improves the taste of food.

[0071] In some embodiments, at least two lifting ribs 50 are spaced apart circumferentially along the blasting basket 30 to form a ring of lifting ribs 50, and at least two rings of lifting ribs 50 are spaced apart axially along the blasting basket 30, with adjacent rings of lifting ribs 50 being offset in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the blasting basket 30.

[0072] In some examples, 4 to 8 lifting ribs 50 are provided at circumferential intervals along the blast basket 30.

[0073] At least two rings of lifting ribs 50 are provided at intervals along the axial direction of the frying basket 30. This can be understood as two rings of lifting ribs 50 being provided at intervals along the axial direction of the frying basket 30, or the number of rings of lifting ribs 50 at intervals along the axial direction of the frying basket 30 can be greater than two, for example, 3 to 5 rings of lifting ribs 50 being provided at intervals along the axial direction of the frying basket 30. It is worth noting that the number of rings of lifting ribs 50 on the inner side of the frying basket 30 can be reasonably set according to the length of the frying basket 30 along its own axial direction.

[0074] For ease of description, two adjacent rings of lifting ribs 50 can be referred to as the first ring of lifting ribs and the second ring of lifting ribs, respectively. The two adjacent rings of lifting ribs 50 are staggered along the axial direction parallel to the blasting basket 30. This can be understood as the fact that neither the lifting ribs 50 in the first ring nor the lifting ribs in the second ring are arranged sequentially along the axial direction parallel to the blasting basket 30.

[0075] When the drive device 40 drives the frying basket 30 to rotate, after the oil is disturbed and lifted by the first ring of lifting ribs 50, it will be disturbed and lifted again by the next ring of staggered lifting ribs 50. This can significantly enhance the disturbance effect of the oil and help to increase the liquid level of the oil.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, by limiting the distribution of the lifting ribs 50 on the inner side of the frying basket 30, the multi-ring staggered lifting ribs 50 can guide the oil to rise step by step, which can significantly enhance the disturbance effect of the oil and help to increase the liquid level of the oil. During the cooking process, the food can come into more full contact with the hot oil, so as to achieve uniform frying of the food even with less oil.

[0077] Regarding the distribution of the lifting ribs 50 on the inner side of the frying basket 30, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 6 The frying basket 30 includes a bottom end 31 and an opening end 32 of the frying basket that are arranged opposite to each other. Along the direction from the bottom end 31 to the opening end 32, a plurality of lifting ribs 50 are arranged in a spiral pattern to form a row of spiral lifting ribs. At least two rows of spiral lifting ribs are arranged along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30.

[0078] For multiple lifting ribs 50 arranged in a spiral interval to form a row of spiral lifting ribs, in some examples, a row of spiral lifting ribs can include 3 to 5 lifting ribs 50. It is worth noting that the number of lifting ribs 50 included in a row of spiral lifting ribs can be reasonably set according to the length of the blast basket 30 along its own axis.

[0079] The fact that at least two rows of spiral lifting ribs are provided along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30 can be understood as meaning that two rows of spiral lifting ribs can be provided along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30, or that the number of rows of spiral lifting ribs along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30 can be greater than two.

[0080] In this embodiment, by defining multiple lifting ribs 50 in a spirally spaced manner to form a row of spiral lifting ribs, and providing at least two rows of spiral lifting ribs along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30, the disturbance effect of the oil can be significantly enhanced when the cooking device is in operation, which is conducive to increasing the liquid level of the oil. The food can come into more full contact with the hot oil during the cooking process, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of cooking.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The lifting rib 50 includes a first side 51 and a second side 52 arranged opposite to each other along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 30. The direction from the first side 51 to the second side 52 is the rotation direction of the frying basket 30. A recessed groove 53 is formed on the second side 52.

[0082] Regarding the rotation direction of the blasting basket 30, that is, the direction in which the blasting basket 30 rotates when the drive device 40 is activated, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 , Figure 6 The direction indicated by the middle arrow 'a' is the rotation direction of the blasting basket 30. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 6 The direction from the first side 51 to the second side 52 is the rotation direction of the blasting basket 30.

[0083] In this embodiment, by defining the direction from the first side 51 to the second side 52 as the rotation direction of the frying basket 30 and forming a recessed groove 53 on the second side 52, when the frying basket 30 rotates, the recessed groove 53 on the second side 52 can accommodate a certain amount of oil so as to lift the oil and thus help to increase the liquid level of the oil.

[0084] See some examples. Figure 7 The groove wall of the lifting rib 50 includes a main wall 531 and a bottom wall 532. The bottom wall 532 is located at the bottom of the main wall 531 and the two are connected. Both the main wall 531 and the bottom wall 532 are smooth curved surfaces.

[0085] Please see Figure 7 The lifting rib 50 includes a first end face 54 and a second end face 55. The first end face 54 and the second end face 55 are arranged opposite each other in an axial direction parallel to the blasting basket 30. The first end face 54 is located above the second end face 55. The end of the main wall surface 531 that is away from the bottom wall surface 532 extends to the first end face 54. The bottom wall surface 532 is located close to the second end face 55 and is used to face the second end face 55.

[0086] See some examples. Figure 7 The lifting rib 50 includes a connecting side 56 and a reversible side 57 arranged opposite to each other. The connecting side 56 is used to connect with the frying basket 30. From the connecting side 56 to the reversible side 57, the distance between the main wall surface 531 and the first side surface 51 decreases.

[0087] Please see Figures 8-9 , Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a cooking apparatus 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 9 The diagram shows the structure of the frying basket 30 and the frying basket cover 80 provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The cooking apparatus 1000 also includes a frying basket cover 80, which is disposed at the opening end 32 of the frying basket and is detachably connected to the frying basket 30.

[0089] In this embodiment of the application, the cooking device 1000 is further provided with a frying basket cover 80 and the frying basket cover 80 is provided at the opening end 32 of the frying basket. The frying basket cover 80 can prevent the food inside the frying basket 30 from splashing when the cooking device 1000 is working, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the cooking environment and improving operational safety.

[0090] In some embodiments, please participate Figure 8The cooking apparatus 1000 also includes an anti-sway shaft 70 and a top cover 60 covering the oil tank opening 22. The frying basket cover 80 has a mating hole through which the anti-sway shaft 70 passes, and one end of the anti-sway shaft 70 is rotatably connected to the top cover 60. Additionally, please refer to... Figure 8 The drive device 40 includes an output end 41, which is inserted into the frying basket 30 through the bottom end 21 of the oil tank and is sealed to the bottom end 21 of the oil tank. The other end of the anti-sway shaft 70 is inserted into the output end 41. When the output end 41 rotates, it can drive the frying basket 30 and the anti-sway shaft 70 to rotate.

[0091] The axis of the anti-sway shaft 70 is collinear with the axis of the output end 41 and the axis of the frying basket 30. When the drive device 40 is activated, it can drive the frying basket 30 and the anti-sway shaft 70 to rotate. That is, the frying basket 30 rotates relative to the frying chamber 20, and the anti-sway shaft 70 rotates relative to the top cover 60. Since the anti-sway shaft 70 passes through the mating hole on the frying basket cover 80 and is axially limited between the top cover 60 and the output end 41, the anti-sway shaft 70 can restrain the frying basket 30 to prevent it from shaking.

[0092] In this embodiment, by setting one end of the anti-sway shaft 70 to be rotatably connected to the top cover 60, and the other end of the anti-sway shaft 70 to be connected to the output end 41 of the drive device 40 through the mating hole on the frying basket cover 80, the anti-sway shaft 70 can be radially limited by the frying basket cover 80, thereby radially limiting the frying basket 30, which helps to improve the stability of the frying basket 30 when rotating, prevent the frying basket 30 from shaking, and prevent the frying basket 30 from colliding with the frying chamber 20.

[0093] In some embodiments, the anti-sway shaft 70 may be fixed to the frying basket cover 80; or, in other embodiments, the anti-sway shaft 70 may be slidably connected to the frying basket cover 80 along the axial direction of the anti-sway shaft 70.

[0094] When it is necessary to remove the frying basket 30 and the frying basket cover 80, the frying basket 30 and the frying basket cover 80 can be lifted out of the frying chamber 20 with the help of the anti-sway shaft 70, which facilitates user operation and improves user experience; by setting the anti-sway shaft 70 to be fixed on the frying basket cover 80, it is beneficial to simplify the structure of the cooking device 1000; by setting the anti-sway shaft 70 to slide on the frying basket cover 80, it is beneficial to increase the length of the anti-sway shaft 70 extending out of the frying basket 30 when the anti-sway shaft 70 is lifted, so as to facilitate the user to lift the frying basket 30 and the frying basket cover 80.

[0095] When the anti-sway shaft 70 is slidably connected to the basket cover 80, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The anti-sway shaft 70 includes a shaft end 71 and a shaft body 72. The shaft end 71 is disposed at one end of the shaft body 72 and the two are connected. The shaft end 71 is rotatably connected to the top cover 60, and the shaft body 72 passes through a mating hole. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8A protruding portion 73 is formed on the shaft body 72. The protruding portion 73 is used to prevent the anti-sway shaft 70 from disengaging from the basket cover 80 through the mating hole.

[0096] In some examples, the shaft end 71 and the shaft body 72 may be integrally formed, welded, or threaded.

[0097] The shaft body 72 passes through the mating hole on the basket cover 80 and is slidably connected to the basket cover 80 along the axial direction of the anti-sway shaft 70. For example, the mating hole on the basket cover 80 can be clearance-fitted with the anti-sway shaft 70 to facilitate the slidable connection between the shaft body 72 and the basket cover 80. It is worth noting that when the mating hole and the anti-sway shaft 70 are clearance-fitted, the clearance value between them should not be too large to avoid affecting the effect of restraining the swaying of the basket 30.

[0098] In some examples, the protruding part 73 may be integrally formed, welded, or threaded onto the shaft body 72.

[0099] Please see Figure 8 The cooking device 1000 also includes an elastic element 130, which is sleeved on the shaft body 72 and located between the shaft end 71 and the frying basket cover 80. When the frying basket cover 80 is placed on the frying chamber 20, the elastic element 130 is elastically pressed between the shaft end 71 and the frying basket cover 80. When the frying basket 30 is opened, the anti-sway shaft 70 can be ejected outward under the elastic force of the elastic element 130 to increase the length of the anti-sway shaft 70 extending out of the frying basket 30.

[0100] In this embodiment, the anti-sway shaft 70 includes a shaft end 71 and a shaft body 72, and a protruding portion 73 is formed on the shaft body 72. This is used to limit the anti-sway shaft 70 on the frying basket 30 while achieving a sliding connection between the anti-sway shaft 70 and the frying basket cover 80. The cooking device 1000 also includes an elastic element 130. When the frying basket 30 is opened, the anti-sway shaft 70 can pop outward under the elastic force of the elastic element 130, so that the user can easily remove the frying basket 30 and the frying basket cover 80 through the anti-sway shaft 70. When the frying basket cover 80 is closed on the frying chamber 20, the shaft end 71 squeezes the elastic element 130 and the frying basket cover 80, which helps to provide elastic squeezing force to the frying basket cover 80 so that the frying basket 30 is stably connected to the output end 41, which helps to improve the stability of the frying basket 30 when rotating.

[0101] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 A bearing structure 120 is provided on the side of the top cover 60 facing the frying chamber 20, and the top cover 60 is rotatably connected to the anti-sway shaft 70 through the bearing structure 120.

[0102] Specifically, the bearing structure 120 is fixed on the top cover 60, and a bearing hole is formed on the bearing structure 120. The shaft end 71 of the anti-sway shaft 70 can be inserted into the shaft insertion hole. The bearing hole can be set as a polygonal opening, such as a regular hexagon. The shape of the shaft end 71 matches the shape of the bearing hole. The bearing structure 120 includes an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring is sleeved outside the inner ring and fixed on the top cover 60. The outer ring and the inner ring are rotatably connected by the rolling elements (such as balls or cylindrical rollers) of the bearing structure 120. The inner ring has a bearing hole. When the anti-sway shaft 70 rotates, it can drive the inner ring to rotate relative to the outer ring. When the top cover 60 is opened, the top cover 60 can be separated from the anti-sway shaft 70.

[0103] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 for Figure 8 A magnified view of a portion of point A in the middle.

[0104] In some embodiments, the output end 41 of the drive device 40 includes a plug 411, a mounting member 412, a locking member 413, and a connector 414. The mounting member 412 extends from the inside of the frying chamber 20 through the bottom end 21 of the oil chamber. The locking member 413 is located outside the frying chamber 20 and is threadedly connected to the mounting member 412 to fix the mounting member 412 on the frying chamber 20, and the mounting member 412 is sealed to the frying chamber 20. The plug 411 is inserted into one end of the mounting member 412 located inside the frying chamber 20. The plug 411 is used to insert into the frying basket 30 and is connected to one end of the anti-sway shaft 70. The connector 414 is located outside the frying chamber 20 and is fixed on the mounting member 412. The connector 414 is used to connect to the part of the drive device 40 other than the output end 41.

[0106] In some examples, the cross-sectional shape of the connector 411 is irregular, and the bottom end 31 of the blasting basket is provided with a blasting basket opening, the shape of which matches the shape of the outer contour of the connector 411. The connector 411 can be inserted into the blasting basket opening at the bottom end 31 of the blasting basket. When the drive device 40 is activated, the rotation of the connector 411 can also drive the blasting basket 30 to rotate. In addition, the blasting basket 30 can also be disengaged from the connector 411 when it is lifted.

[0107] In some examples, the bottom end of the anti-sway shaft 70 is provided with a shaft opening, the shape of which matches the shape of the outer contour of the connector 411. The connector 411 can be inserted into the shaft opening. When the drive device 40 is activated, the connector 411 rotates, which can drive the anti-sway shaft 70 to rotate. When the anti-sway shaft 70 is lifted, it can disengage from the connector 411.

[0108] See some examples. Figure 8 The bottom end of the anti-sway shaft 70 has a bottom protrusion 74, which provides a shaft opening that mates with the connector 411.
