Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, in particular to a stirring paddle and an air fryer with the stirring paddle. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, cooking appliances such as air fryers usually install a stirring paddle in the inner pot to stir and tumble the ingredients so that the ingredients are heated evenly. After the ingredients are stirred and cooked, the stirring paddle usually needs to be taken out of the inner pot to further process the ingredients. However, since the stirring paddle is always exposed to hot air in the cooking cavity, the stirring paddle also has a high initial temperature after the ingredients are cooked. The user cannot take the stirring paddle out of the inner pot by hand in a short time, and thus cannot quickly process the ingredients, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0004] To this end, an embodiment of the utility model proposes a stirring paddle, which has the advantages of short waiting time before being taken out of the inner pot by hand after cooking is completed, and good user experience.

[0005] The embodiment of the utility model also provides an air fryer.

[0006] The stirring paddle of the embodiment of the utility model includes a central column, blades and a handle, wherein the central column is suitable for being rotatably arranged in the inner pot of the air fryer; the blades are connected to the central column; the handle includes a connecting part and a handle part, the connecting part is connected to the central column, the handle part is spaced apart from the central column, and the thermal conductivity of at least one of the connecting part and the handle part is lower than the thermal conductivity of the central column.

[0007] According to the stirring paddle of the embodiment of the utility model, when the central cylinder is rotatably arranged in the inner pot of the air fryer, the blades make a circular motion when the central cylinder rotates to achieve stirring of the food in the inner pot. When the food is cooked, the food, the central cylinder, the blades and the handle in the inner pot all have a high temperature, and the handle portion of the handle is separated from the central cylinder by the connecting portion, and the thermal conductivity of at least one of the connecting portion and the handle portion is set to be lower than the thermal conductivity of the central cylinder. When the heat of the handle portion is dissipated and the temperature is cooled, the heat of the central cylinder is not easily transferred to the handle portion quickly, resulting in the two cooling at the same speed, that is, the cooling speed of the handle portion is faster than the cooling speed of the central cylinder, and the handle portion can be cooled to a temperature that is convenient for the user to hold in a faster time, so that the user can take the stirring paddle out of the inner pot as a whole through the handle portion, which is convenient for the subsequent processing of the food in the inner pot, and the user experience is high.

[0008] Optionally, the handle is adjacent to the top of the central column, and the handle extends outward from the outer periphery of the central column along the radial direction of the central column. The stirring paddle of the utility model is arranged with the handle adjacent to the top of the central column, which effectively ensures that the handle is higher than the food in the inner pot, and avoids the food contacting the handle, which causes the handle to fail to cool down quickly. And the handle is arranged to extend outward from the outer periphery of the central column along the radial direction of the central column, so that the distance between the free end of the handle and the central column can be further, so as to have a faster cooling speed.

[0009] Optionally, the handle is a sheet structure, and the thickness direction of the handle is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column. The handle of the stirring paddle of the utility model is a sheet structure with a smaller thickness dimension, so that it has a larger heat dissipation area, thereby having a faster cooling speed, and the user can take the stirring paddle out of the inner pot by holding the handle in a shorter time. Moreover, the design that the thickness direction of the handle is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column makes the handle have greater bending strength in the height direction, and the handle is not easy to bend downward under the action of gravity and adhere to the side of the central column, thereby effectively avoiding the contact between the central column and the handle and affecting the cooling speed of the handle.

[0010] Optionally, the handle is provided with a through hole for fingers to pass through. The stirring paddle of the utility model is provided with a through hole on the handle, which, on the one hand, further reduces the volume of the handle, so that the cooling speed of the handle is faster, and on the other hand, the user can pass the finger through the through hole to complete the grip and lifting of the handle, which is convenient for the user to exert force.

[0011] Optionally, the number of the handles is two and they are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the central column. The stirring paddle of the utility model is provided with two handles and they are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the central column. The user holds the two handles at the same time, which can give the stirring paddle a vertical upward pulling force, thereby ensuring that the stirring paddle is smoothly separated from the boss on the bottom wall of the inner pot, and the operation of taking the stirring paddle out of the inner pot is more labor-saving.

[0012] Optionally, the outer circumferential surface of the central column is provided with a limiting groove, the connecting part is provided with an assembly hole, the central column fits in the assembly hole, and at least part of the connecting part fits in the limiting groove. The stirring paddle of the utility model is provided with a central column and an assembly hole on the connecting part for plug-in cooperation, so as to achieve relative fixation of the two except for the axial direction of the central column, and the cooperation between part of the connecting part and the limiting groove ensures the relative fixation of the central column and the connecting part in the axial direction of the central column, thereby making the connection between the central column and the connecting part convenient and reliable.

[0013] Optionally, the limiting groove is an annular groove, the connecting part is an elastic sleeve, and the connecting part is sleeved on the central column by elastic deformation and fits in the annular groove. The stirring paddle of the utility model sleeves the connecting part on the central column by elastic deformation and fits in the annular groove, so that the disassembly and assembly between the connecting part and the central column are convenient, the annular groove can reliably limit the axial position of the connecting part, and when the handle is pulled upward, the connecting part is not easy to fall out of the annular groove, so that the central column and the blades are pulled out of the inner pot synchronously with the connecting part.

[0014] Optionally, the annular groove includes an upper limit surface and a lower limit surface that are opposite to each other along the axial direction of the central column, and the central column includes an upper column section that forms the upper limit surface, and the area of ​​the outer contour of the cross section of the upper column section gradually decreases in the direction away from the lower limit surface. The outer contour of the upper column section of the stirring paddle of the utility model is generally a frustum, so that the connecting part can be sleeved on the upper half of the upper column section without elastic deformation, and then can be easily inserted into the annular groove by moving downward through elastic deformation, and the installation of the connecting part on the central column is convenient and quick.

[0015] Optionally, a guide hole is provided on the lower surface of the central column, and the middle portion of the bottom wall of the inner pot is bent upward to form a boss, and the boss is suitable for clearance fitting in the guide hole;

[0016] And / or, the stirring paddle also includes a connecting piece, the connecting piece is connected to the upper end of the central column, and the connecting piece can be connected to the air guide cover of the air fryer so that the air guide cover and the central column rotate synchronously. The stirring paddle of the utility model is respectively provided with a boss and a guide hole that can be clearance-matched on the inner pot and the central column, so that the boss radially limits the central column to ensure that the rotation of the central column relative to the inner pot is stable and reliable. The central column is also provided with a connecting piece to connect with the air guide cover to achieve synchronous rotation of the air guide cover and the stirring paddle, thereby better ensuring that the food is heated evenly.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 7 The stirring paddle 1 according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0030] The stirring paddle 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a central column 11, blades 12 and a handle 13. The central column 11 is suitable for being rotatably arranged in the inner pot 3 of the air fryer. The blades 12 are connected to the central column 11. The handle 13 comprises a connecting portion 131 and a handle portion 132, the connecting portion 131 is connected to the central column 11, the handle portion 132 is spaced apart from the central column 11, and the thermal conductivity of at least one of the connecting portion 131 and the handle portion 132 is lower than the thermal conductivity of the central column 11.

[0031] According to the stirring paddle 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, when the central cylinder 11 is rotatably arranged in the inner pot 3 of the air fryer, the blades 12 make a circular motion when the central cylinder 11 rotates, so as to achieve stirring of the food in the inner pot 3. When the cooking of the ingredients is completed, the ingredients, the central column 11, the blades 12 and the handle 13 in the inner pot 3 all have a relatively high temperature. By setting the handle portion 132 of the handle 13 to be separated from the central column 11 by the connecting portion 131, and setting the thermal conductivity of at least one of the connecting portion 131 and the handle portion 132 to be lower than that of the central column 11, when the handle portion 132 dissipates heat and cools down, the heat of the central column 11 is not easily transferred to the handle portion 132 quickly, resulting in the two cooling down at the same speed, that is, the cooling speed of the handle portion 132 is faster than that of the central column 11, and the handle portion 132 can be cooled to a temperature that is convenient for the user to hold in a faster time, so that the user can take the stirring paddle 1 out of the inner pot 3 as a whole through the handle portion 132, which is convenient for the subsequent processing of the ingredients in the inner pot 3 and the user experience is high.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the handle portion 132 is adjacent to the top of the central column 11 , and the handle portion 132 extends outward from the outer periphery of the central column 11 along the radial direction of the central column 11 .

[0033] The handle 132 is arranged near the top of the central column 11, which effectively ensures that the handle 132 is higher than the food in the inner pot 3, so as to prevent the food from contacting the handle 132 and causing the handle 132 to fail to cool down quickly. The handle 132 is arranged to extend outward from the outer periphery of the central column 11 along the radial direction of the central column 11, so that the distance between the free end of the handle 132 and the central column 11 can be further, so as to have a faster cooling speed.

[0034] It should be noted that the handle 132 is located on the side of the central column 11 instead of on the top, so as to facilitate the central column 11 to be connected to the air guide cover 21 above through the connecting piece 14, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the stirring paddle 1 and the air guide cover 21. Alternatively, when the stirring paddle 1 is independently driven by a motor to rotate, the handle 132 can be arranged above the central column 11, in which case the handle 132 is further away from the food and closer to the outside air, and the cooling speed is faster.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 132 is a sheet-like structure, and the thickness direction of the handle 132 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column 11. The sheet-like structure means that the handle 132 has a smaller thickness, which can provide a larger heat dissipation area on the basis of a certain volume, thereby having a faster cooling speed, and the user can take the stirring paddle 1 out of the inner pot 3 by holding the handle 132 in a shorter time.

[0036] Moreover, the design that the thickness direction of the handle portion 132 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column 11 makes the handle portion 132 have greater bending strength in the height direction. The handle portion 132 is not easy to bend downward and adhere to the side of the central column 11 under the action of gravity, thereby effectively avoiding the contact between the central column 11 and the handle portion 132 and affecting the cooling speed of the handle portion 132.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a through hole 1321 for fingers to pass through is provided on the handle portion 132. The design of the through hole 1321 further reduces the volume of the handle portion 132, so that the cooling speed of the handle portion 132 is faster. On the other hand, the user can pass the finger through the through hole 1321 to complete the grip and lifting of the handle portion 132, and the user can exert force conveniently.

[0038] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the handle portion 132 is in the shape of an ear, the outer contour of the cross section of the through hole 1321 is also in the shape of an ear, and the axial direction of the through hole 1321 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, there are two handles 132 arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the central column 11. At this time, the user can hold the two handles 132 at the same time to give the stirring paddle 1 a vertical upward pulling force, thereby ensuring that the stirring paddle 1 is smoothly separated from the boss 31 at the bottom wall of the inner pot 3, and the operation of taking the stirring paddle 1 out of the inner pot 3 is more labor-saving.

[0040] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 11, and the depth direction of the limiting groove is perpendicular to the axial direction of the central column 11. An assembly hole 1311 is provided on the connecting portion 131, and the central column 11 is fitted in the assembly hole 1311, and at least a portion of the connecting portion 131 is fitted in the limiting groove.

[0041] The center column 11 is plugged into the assembly hole 1311 on the connecting portion 131 to achieve relative fixation of the two except for the axial direction of the center column 11, and the cooperation between part of the connecting portion 131 and the limiting groove ensures the relative fixation of the center column 11 and the connecting portion 131 in the axial direction of the center column 11, thereby making the connection between the center column 11 and the connecting portion 131 convenient and reliable.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting groove is an annular groove 111, and the connecting portion 131 is an elastic sleeve. The connecting portion 131 is sleeved on the central column 11 by elastic deformation and fits in the annular groove 111. The connecting portion 131 is sleeved on the central column 11 by elastic deformation and fits in the annular groove 111, so that the disassembly and assembly between the connecting portion 131 and the central column 11 is convenient, and the annular groove 111 can reliably limit the axial position of the connecting portion 131. When the handle portion 132 is pulled upward, the connecting portion 131 is not easy to fall out of the annular groove 111, so that the central column 11 and the blades 12 are synchronously pulled out of the inner pot 3 with the connecting portion 131.

[0043] It should be noted that the connecting portion 131 is preferably arranged to be interference fit in the annular groove 111, that is, to ensure that the connecting portion 131 is also in an elastic tension state in the annular groove 111, thereby ensuring that the pulling force required for the connecting portion 131 to escape from the annular groove 111 is greater, and ensuring that before the connecting portion 131 is pulled upward out of the annular groove 111, the central column 11 and the blades 12 can be pulled out of the inner pot 3.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the annular groove 111 includes an upper limit surface and a lower limit surface opposite to each other along the axial direction of the central column 11, and the central column 11 includes an upper column segment 112 forming the upper limit surface, and the area of ​​the cross-sectional outer contour of the upper column segment 112 gradually decreases in the direction away from the lower limit surface.

[0045] That is, the outer contour of the upper column section 112 is generally a frustum, and the connecting portion 131 can be mounted on the upper half of the upper column section 112 without elastic deformation, and then can be easily inserted into the annular groove 111 by moving downward through elastic deformation. The connecting portion 131 is easy and quick to install on the central column 11.

[0046] For example, the minimum diameter of the upper column section 112 is smaller than the diameter of the assembly hole 1311 before the connection portion 131 is elastically deformed.

[0047] In some embodiments, a guide hole 113 is provided on the lower surface of the central column 11, and the middle portion of the bottom wall of the inner pot 3 is bent upward to form a boss 31, and the boss 31 is suitable for clearance fit in the guide hole 113. The boss 31 realizes radial positioning of the central column 11, ensuring that the rotation of the central column 11 relative to the inner pot 3 is stable and reliable.

[0048] And / or, the stirring paddle 1 further includes a connecting member 14, which is connected to the upper end of the central column 11, and the connecting member 14 can be connected to the air guide cover 21 of the air fryer so that the air guide cover 21 and the central column 11 rotate synchronously. The central column 11 is connected to the air guide cover 21 through the connecting member 14 to achieve synchronous rotation of the air guide cover 21 and the stirring paddle 1, thereby better ensuring that the food is heated evenly.

[0049] It should be noted that the connecting member 14 can be detachably connected to the central column 11 or integrally formed. After the central column 11 is connected to the air guide cover 21 through the connecting member 14, the air guide cover 21 can be rotated to drive the stirring paddle 1 to rotate, and the stirring paddle 1 can also be rotated to drive the air guide cover 21 to rotate.

[0050] The air fryer according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a head assembly 2, an inner pot 3 and a stirring paddle 1 as in any of the above embodiments, the head assembly 2 covers the inner pot 3, and the central column 11 in the stirring paddle 1 is rotatably arranged in the inner pot 3.
