Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, in particular to a head assembly and an air fryer having the same. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, cooking appliances such as air fryers usually install the air scoop on the machine head through a support, and the air scoop rotates under the drive of the motor so that the hot air is evenly blown to the cooking cavity to achieve uniform baking of the food on the frying basket. However, since the peripheral wall of the air scoop needs to be arranged around the outer peripheral surface of the hot air component, the center point of the air scoop and the support has no fixed position. When the air scoop and the support rotate, they are prone to radial deflection and displacement of the air scoop, and then rub against the machine head to generate greater resistance, making it difficult for the air scoop to rotate, and even causing it to get stuck, resulting in the inability to achieve the temperature equalization function and a poor user experience.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 9 A head assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0032] The head assembly according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a head 1, a hot air assembly 2, an annular support 3, a rotating member 4 and an air guide hood 5. The head 1 is formed with an exhaust cavity 11 with an opening facing downward. The hot air assembly 2 is installed in the exhaust cavity 11. The annular support 3 surrounds the hot air assembly 2 and is rotatably arranged in the exhaust cavity 11. There are at least three rotating members 4 and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular support 3. The rotating member 4 is pivotally connected to the annular support 3 around a first axis, and the first axis is parallel to the center line of the annular support 3. At least part of the rotating member 4 is located between the outer peripheral surface of the annular support 3 and the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11, and at least part of the rotating member 4 separates the outer peripheral surface of the annular support 3 from the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11. The air guide hood 5 is coaxially connected to the annular support 3, and the air guide hood 5 is suitable for separating the hot air assembly 2 from the cooking cavity of the air fryer.

[0033] According to the head assembly of the utility model, the air guide cover 5 is coaxially connected with the annular support member 3, the annular support member 3 surrounds the hot air assembly 2 and is rotatably arranged in the exhaust cavity 11 of the head 1, the rotating member 4 rotatably mounted on the annular support member 3 partially protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the annular support member 3 and rolls with the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11, and the parts of at least three rotating members 4 located between the outer peripheral surface of the annular support member 3 and the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11 separate the annular support member 3 from the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11, so that when the air guide cover 5 rotates relative to the head 1, at least three rotating members 4 realize the radial limit of the air guide cover 5 in the air guide cover 5, ensuring that the air guide cover 5 rotates smoothly without excessive radial deflection. At the same time, when the air guide cover 5 rotates, rolling friction occurs between the rotating member 4 and the inner wall surface of the exhaust cavity 11. Compared with the sliding friction in the related art, the friction resistance of the air guide cover 5 is smaller, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of the stuck phenomenon and more stably ensuring the temperature uniformity in the cooking cavity.

[0034] It should be noted that the rotating member 4 can be a rotating shaft pivotally connected to the annular support member 3, the first axis is the center line of the rotating member 4, and the rotating member 4 can only rotate around the first axis. Alternatively, the rotating member 4 can also be a ball hinged to the annular support member 3, which can rotate around the first axis relative to the annular support member 3 to facilitate rolling cooperation with the inner wall surface of the exhaust chamber 11. In addition, the annular support member 3 and the air guide cover 5 are also relatively fixed in the axial direction with the machine head 1 through an axial support member, and the axial support member includes but is not limited to a support gear or a support bearing. The specific structure of the axial support member has been disclosed in the relevant technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are three rotating members 4 which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the annular support member 3 .

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the rotating member 4 includes a first shaft section 41 and a second shaft section 42 which are coaxially connected. The diameter of the first shaft section 41 is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft section 42. The annular support member 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 311, and the first shaft section 41 is loosely fitted in the first mounting hole 311. The head assembly also includes a connecting member 6, which is connected to the annular support member 3. A second mounting hole 312 is defined between the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3. The second mounting hole 312 is provided with a notch on the outer circumference of the annular support member 3. The second shaft section 42 is loosely fitted in the second mounting hole 312, and at least part of the second shaft section 42 protrudes from the outer circumference of the annular support member 3 through the notch.

[0037] The head assembly of the utility model is provided with a first shaft segment 41 and a clearance fit with the first mounting hole 311, so as to ensure that the first shaft segment 41 can rotate around the axis of the first mounting hole 311, and at the same time, the second shaft segment 42 is limited in its radial direction. Further, when the second shaft segment 42 is subjected to a radial reaction force from the inner wall of the exhaust chamber 11, the second shaft segment 42 will not generate a large friction force with the wall of the second mounting hole 312 and cannot rotate freely.

[0038] Meanwhile, the rotating installation of the rotating member 4 on the annular support member 3 can be completed by simply connecting the connecting member 6 to the annular support member 3 , and the assembly of the rotating member 4 is convenient and quick.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the rotating member 4 also includes a third shaft segment 43, which is coaxially connected to the free end of the second shaft segment 42, and the diameter of the third shaft segment 43 is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft segment 42. The connecting member 6 is provided with a third mounting hole 61 connected to the second mounting hole 312, and the third shaft segment 43 is clearance-fitted in the third mounting hole 61.

[0040] The clearance fit between the third shaft segment 43 and the third mounting hole 61 enables the third shaft segment 43 and the first shaft segment 41 to jointly limit the radial position of the second shaft segment 42, thereby ensuring that when the second shaft segment 42 abuts against the inner wall surface of the exhaust chamber 11 and undergoes relative displacement, the rotating member 4 as a whole can still rotate relative to the annular support member 3, thereby ensuring that the second shaft segment 42 and the inner wall surface of the exhaust chamber 11 produce rolling friction with less resistance.

[0041] For example, Fig. 9As shown, the diameters and axial dimensions of the first shaft segment 41 and the third shaft segment 43 are the same, the diameters of the first mounting hole 311 and the third mounting hole 61 are the same and are both smaller than the diameter of the second mounting hole 312, and under the radial limitation of the first shaft segment 41 and the third shaft segment 43 by the first mounting hole 311 and the third mounting hole 61 respectively, the rotating member 4 is not prone to radial displacement, and the rotation of the rotating member 4 relative to the annular support member 3 is smooth and labor-saving.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the connecting member 6 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 62 , the annular support member 3 is provided with a first threaded hole 313 , and the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3 are connected via a first threaded member 9 that passes through the fourth mounting hole 62 and is threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole 313 .

[0043] That is, the connecting member 6 is connected to the annular support member 3 through the first threaded member 9, so that the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3 are easy to assemble and disassemble, and the connection strength is high.

[0044] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first threaded member 9 is a bolt, the axial direction of the first threaded hole 313 is consistent with the axial direction of the annular support member 3, and the bolt passes through the fourth mounting hole 62 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 313 to complete the connection between the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3 is provided with a positioning column 314, and the other of the connecting member 6 and the annular support member 3 is provided with a positioning hole 63, the axial direction of the positioning hole 63 is consistent with the axial direction of the fourth mounting hole 62, and the positioning column 314 is fitted in the positioning hole 63.

[0046] By providing matching positioning columns 314 and positioning holes 63, a connecting member 6 can be relatively fixed to the annular support member 3 using only one first threaded member 9, and the assembly of the connecting member 6, the annular support member 3 and the rotating member 4 is convenient and quick.

[0047] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each connecting member 6 corresponds to a fourth mounting hole 62 and a positioning hole 63 , the axial direction of the positioning hole 63 is consistent with the axial direction of the fourth mounting hole 62 , and the positioning hole 63 and the fourth mounting hole 62 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the annular support member 3 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the annular support member 3 includes an annular base plate 31 and a first gear ring 32. The annular base plate 31 and the connecting member 6 are arranged along the axial direction of the annular base plate 31, and the first mounting hole 311 is provided on the annular base plate 31. The first gear ring 32 is coaxially arranged on the side of the annular base plate 31 away from the connecting member 6. The head assembly also includes a first motor 7 and a second gear ring 8. The first motor 7 is installed on the head 1. The rotating shaft of the first motor 7 is coaxially connected to the second gear ring 8. At least a portion of the second gear ring 8 extends into the exhaust cavity 11 and meshes with the first gear ring 32.

[0049] The first motor 7 installed on the machine head 1 is used as the power, and the transmission mechanism formed by the first gear ring 32 and the second gear ring 8 realizes the driving of the annular support 3 and the air guide cover 5. Among them, the meshing first gear ring 32 and the second gear ring 8 transmit the torque of the first motor 7 stably and reliably, and occupy a small volume. Moreover, the air guide cover 5 can rotate independently without linkage with the stirring paddle, etc., and the temperature equalization function is flexible.

[0050] At the same time, under the radial limitation of at least three rotating members 4, the radial force acting on the first gear ring 32 when the second gear ring 8 drives the first gear ring 32 to rotate can be well offset, effectively ensuring that the air guide cover 5 rotates stably and reliably relative to the machine head 1. Moreover, when the air guide cover 5 is connected to the stirring paddle in the cooking chamber, a greater stirring torque can be given to the stirring paddle.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the annular support member 3 further includes a plurality of protrusions 33, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the annular base plate 31 and are disposed on a side of the annular base plate 31 away from the first gear ring 32. A second threaded hole is provided on the protrusion 33, and a fifth mounting hole is provided on the peripheral wall of the air guide cover 5. The protrusion 33 is fitted in the air guide cover 5, and the protrusion 33 and the air guide cover 5 are connected via a second threaded member that passes through the fifth mounting hole and is threadedly fitted with the second threaded hole.

[0052] That is, the annular base plate 31 is coaxially connected to the air guide cover 5 through a plurality of protrusions 33. On the basis of ensuring that the first gear ring 32 is exposed outside the air guide cover 5, the thickness of the annular base plate 31 does not need to be designed to be larger, and the weight of the annular support 3 is lighter, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost and occupying less space in the exhaust chamber 11.

[0053] For example, Figure 6 As shown, there are three protrusions 33 which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the annular base plate 31. Each protrusion 33 is provided with a second threaded hole. When the three protrusions 33 are fitted in the air guide cover 5, the surface of the protrusion 33 with the second threaded hole is in contact with the inner circumferential wall of the air guide cover 5.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 6 extends along the circumference of the annular base plate 31, the number of connectors 6 is equal to the number of protrusions 33, and multiple connectors 6 and multiple protrusions 33 are staggered along the circumference of the annular base plate 31. By providing multiple connectors 6 and each connector 6 is fitted between two adjacent protrusions 33, compared with designing the connector 6 as an annular plate structure, the above arrangement makes the total volume of the connector 6 smaller and the total weight lighter, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost and occupying less space in the exhaust cavity 11.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a second mounting hole 312 is defined between each connecting member 6 and the annular base 31, and the two ends of the connecting member 6 along the circumference of the annular base 31 are respectively abutted against two protrusions 33, and the surface of the annular base 31 facing away from the annular base 31 is roughly coplanar with the surface of the protrusion 33 facing away from the annular base 31.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hot air assembly 2 includes a second motor 21, a hot air fan 22, a heat shield 23 and an electric heating pipe 24. The second motor 21 is mounted on the machine head 1. The hot air fan 22 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor 21. The heat shield 23 is connected to the machine head 1, and the heat shield 23 is located between the hot air fan 22 and the body of the second motor 21. The heat shield 23 is provided with an avoidance hole for the rotating shaft of the second motor 21 to pass through. The electric heating pipe 24 is connected to the heat shield 23 and is located on the side of the heat shield 23 away from the body of the second motor 21.

[0057] The heat insulation board 23 disposed between the second motor 21 and the heating tube effectively prevents the heat generated by the heating tube from flowing back to the second motor 21 and affecting the efficiency and service life of the second motor 21. At the same time, under the blocking and guidance of the heat insulation board 23, it is ensured that the airflow generated by the hot air fan 22 basically flows into the cooking cavity through the air guide cover 5, and also brings the heat generated by the heating tube into the cooking cavity, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the food in the cooking cavity.

[0058] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating pipe is an annular pipe arranged around the hot air fan 22 and is spaced apart from the peripheral wall of the air guide cover 5.

[0059] It should be noted that Figure 1 As shown, the machine head assembly also includes a machine cover 10, which is detachably connected to the machine head 1, and the two are suitable for covering the inner pot together. The machine cover 10 is arranged around the machine head 1 and is made of transparent glass.
