[0022] In this technical solution, it is defined that the container includes a first end and a second end. Specifically, the first end is opposite to the second end. The first end is closer to the cooking cavity than the second end, that is, the second end is farther from the cooking cavity than the first end, that is, the first end is the top end of the container, and the second end is the bottom end of the container. At least two heating parts are located between the first end and the second end.

[0023] The cross-sectional area of ​​the first end is greater than that of the second end, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the top end of the container is greater than that of the bottom end of the container, that is, the container is a tapered structure.

[0024] Therefore, when the heating element is wound around the container of the conical structure, the contact area between the at least two heating parts and the container can be further increased, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating element on the container, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, and the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber can be fully burned in the smoking chamber, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer and enhancing the user experience.

This can effectively increase the contact area between the heating element and the container, improve the heating efficiency of the heating element to the container, and enable the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber to quickly heat up and reach the ignition point, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, while reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the heating element with at least two heating parts, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the air fryer.

[0032] In addition, the integrated structure is also conducive to the mass production of heating elements and improves the production efficiency of heating elements.

[0033] The smoke chamber is a cone-shaped space that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, that is, along the height direction of the body, the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the smoke chamber close to the cooking chamber is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the smoke chamber away from the cooking chamber. The electric heating tube is coiled on the outer peripheral side of the receiving member to heat the smoke chamber of the cone-shaped space.

[0034] Optionally, the heating element further comprises a fixing portion, which is connected to at least one heating element and the body. In other words, at least two heating elements are connected to the body via the fixing portion, thereby achieving fixed installation of the heating element.

[0037] At least a portion of the heating element is wrapped around the outer periphery of the side plate, so compared with the related art of placing the electric heating tube at the bottom of the smoking module for heating, it can effectively increase the contact area between the heating element and the containing element, and improve the heating efficiency of the heating element to the containing element, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer and enhancing the user experience.

[0038] Optionally, the side panels and the bottom panel are an integrated structure. It is understood that the integrated structure has good mechanical properties, thereby improving the connection strength between the bottom panel and the side panels. It can also improve the sealing of the connection between the side panels and the bottom panel, preventing the smoke generated in the smoking chamber from leaking from the connection between the side panels and the bottom panel.

[0039] In addition, the integrated structure is also conducive to the mass production of the containers, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the containers, improving the production efficiency of the containers, and further conducive to reducing the production cost of the air fryer.

[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, the inner wall on the side panel used to enclose the smoking cavity is a first cavity wall, and the space area enclosed by one end of the first cavity wall close to the cooking cavity is larger than the space area enclosed by one end of the first cavity wall away from the cooking cavity.

Specifically, the space area enclosed by the end of the first cavity wall close to the cooking cavity is larger than the space area enclosed by the end of the first cavity wall away from the cooking cavity. In other words, the first cavity wall is inclined, and the first cavity wall is inclined inward from top to bottom. That is, the inner wall of the side panel is also a conical structure, so that the contact area between the heating element and the receiving element can be increased, the heating efficiency of the heating element to the receiving element can be improved, and the wood and other fuels in the smoking cavity can be quickly heated and reach the ignitable point, shortening the smoke generation time, while facilitating the cleaning of the smoking cavity and improving the cleaning effect of the smoking cavity.

[0042] Optionally, the container further comprises a discharge port, which is located at the second end of the container. When the wood or other fuel in the smoking chamber is burned, the fuel can be discharged through the discharge port.

[0043] Since the inner wall of the containing part located in the smoking chamber has a conical structure, it is also beneficial for the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber to be quickly discharged through the discharge port.

[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the container is further provided with an opening, the opening is opposite to the bottom plate, and the smoking cavity is connected with the cooking cavity through the opening.

[0045] In this technical solution, it is defined that the receiving member further includes an opening. Specifically, the opening is opposite to the bottom plate, that is, along the height direction of the body, the opening is opposite to the cooking cavity.

[0046] The smoking chamber is connected to the cooking chamber through the opening. Specifically, when the heating element heats the smoking chamber, the wood or other fuel in the smoking chamber generates smoke under the action of heating, and the smoke enters the cooking chamber through the opening to smoke the food in the cooking chamber, thereby realizing the smoking function of the air fryer.

[0047] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air fryer further includes a smoke inlet net, which is disposed on the main body and located at the opening.

[0100] That is, the surrounding area of ​​the first heating part 132 and the second heating part 133 is matched with the container 120 of the conical structure, so that when the heating element 130 is wound around the container 120 of the conical structure, the contact area between the first heating part 132 and the second heating part 133 and the container 120 can be further increased, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 on the container 120, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, and the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 can be fully burned in the smoking chamber 121, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber 111 can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer 100 and the user experience.

[0101] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the heating element 130 includes an electric heating tube, which is bent multiple times to form at least two heating parts 131; the smoking chamber 121 is a conical space with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, and the electric heating tube is coiled around the periphery of the container 120.

[0102] In this embodiment, the heating element 130 is defined to include an electric heating tube. Specifically, the electric heating tube is bent multiple times to form at least two heating parts 131, that is, at least two heating parts 131 are an integrated structure. This can effectively increase the contact area between the heating element 130 and the container 120, improve the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 on the container 120, enable the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 to quickly heat up and reach the ignition point, shorten the time for smoke generation, that is, reduce the waiting time for the wood to burn, and reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the heating element 130 with at least two heating parts 131, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of the air fryer 100.

[0103] In addition, the integrated structure is also conducive to the mass production of the heating element 130 and improves the production efficiency of the heating element 130.

[0104] The smoke chamber 121 is a cone-shaped space that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, that is, along the height direction of the body 110, the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the smoke chamber 121 close to the cooking chamber 111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the smoke chamber 121 away from the cooking chamber 111. The electric heating pipe is coiled on the outer peripheral side of the receiving member 120 to heat the smoke chamber 121 of the cone-shaped space.

[0105] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the heating element 130 further includes a fixing portion 134 , and the fixing portion 134 is connected to at least one heating portion 131 and the body 110 .

[0106] In this embodiment, it is defined that the heating element 130 also includes a fixing portion 134 . Specifically, the fixing portion 134 is connected to at least one heating portion 131 and the main body 110 . That is, at least two heating portions 131 are connected to the main body 110 via the fixing portion 134 , thereby achieving fixed installation of the heating element 130 .

[0107] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the container 120 includes a bottom plate 124 and a side plate 125, wherein the bottom plate 124 is opposite to the cooking cavity 111 along the height direction of the body 110, the side plate 125 is connected to the bottom plate 124, and encloses the bottom plate 124 to form the smoking cavity 121, and at least a portion of the heating element 130 is arranged around the side of the side plate 125.

[0108] In this embodiment, the container 120 is defined to include a bottom plate 124 and a side plate 125 . Specifically, along the height direction of the body 110 , the bottom plate 124 is opposite to the cooking cavity 111 , the side plate 125 is connected to the bottom plate 124 , and the side plate 125 and the bottom plate 124 enclose a smoking cavity 121 .

[0109] At least a portion of the heating element 130 is wound around the outer circumference of the side plate 125, so that compared with the related art of placing the electric heating tube at the bottom of the smoking module for heating, the contact area between the heating element 130 and the container 120 can be effectively increased, and the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 on the container 120 is improved, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber 111 can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer 100 and the user experience.

[0110] Optionally, the side panels 125 and the bottom panel 124 are an integrated structure. It is understood that the integrated structure has good mechanical properties, and thus can improve the connection strength between the bottom panel 124 and the side panels 125. It can also improve the sealing of the connection between the side panels 125 and the bottom panel 124, preventing the smoke generated in the smoking chamber 121 from leaking from the connection between the side panels 125 and the bottom panel 124.

[0111] In addition, the integrated structure is also conducive to the mass production of the container 120, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the container 120, improving the production efficiency of the container 120, and further conducive to reducing the production cost of the air fryer 100.

[0112] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the inner wall on the side panel 125 used to enclose the smoking chamber 121 is a first chamber wall 126, and the space area enclosed by one end of the first chamber wall 126 close to the cooking chamber 111 is larger than the space area enclosed by one end of the first chamber wall 126 away from the cooking chamber 111.

[0113] In this embodiment, the side panel 125 is defined to include a first cavity wall 126, and the first cavity wall 126 is configured to be a part of the cavity wall of the smoking cavity 121. Specifically, the space area enclosed by the end of the first cavity wall 126 close to the cooking cavity 111 is larger than the space area enclosed by the end of the first cavity wall 126 away from the cooking cavity 111. In other words, the first cavity wall 126 is inclined, and the first cavity wall 126 is inclined inward from top to bottom. That is, the inner wall of the side panel 125 is also a conical structure, so that the contact area between the heating element 130 and the receiving element 120 can be increased, the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 to the receiving element 120 can be improved, and the wood and other fuels in the smoking cavity 121 can be quickly heated and reach the ignitable point, shortening the smoke generation time, while facilitating the cleaning of the smoking cavity 121 and improving the cleaning effect of the smoking cavity 121.

[0114] Optionally, the container 120 further includes a discharge port, which is located at the second end 123 of the container 120. When the wood or other fuel in the smoking chamber 121 is burned, the fuel can be discharged through the discharge port.

[0115] Since the inner wall of the container 120 located in the smoking chamber 121 is a conical structure, it is also beneficial for the fuel such as wood in the smoking chamber 121 to be quickly discharged through the discharge port.

[0116] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the container 120 is further provided with an opening 127 , the opening 127 is opposite to the bottom plate 124 , and the smoking cavity 121 is connected with the cooking cavity 111 through the opening 127 .

[0117] In this embodiment, it is defined that the receiving member 120 further includes an opening 127 . Specifically, the opening 127 is opposite to the bottom plate 124 . That is, along the height direction of the body 110 , the opening 127 is opposite to the cooking cavity 111 .

[0118] The smoking chamber 121 is connected to the cooking chamber 111 through the opening 127. Specifically, when the heating element 130 heats the smoking chamber 121, the wood or other fuel in the smoking chamber 121 generates smoke under the action of heating, and the smoke enters the cooking chamber 111 through the opening 127 to smoke the food in the cooking chamber 111, thereby realizing the smoking function of the air fryer 100.

[0119] like Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air fryer 100 further includes a smoke inlet net 140 , which is disposed on the body 110 and located at the opening 127 .

[0120] In this embodiment, it is defined that the air fryer 100 also includes a smoke inlet net 140. Specifically, the smoke inlet net 140 is arranged on the main body 110, and the smoke inlet net 140 is located at the opening 127, so as to ensure that the smoke in the smoking chamber 121 can smoothly enter the cooking chamber 111 through the smoke inlet net 140 to smoke the food in the cooking chamber 111, while preventing the grease in the cooking chamber 111 from entering the smoking chamber 121 and decomposing and smoking in a high temperature environment, thereby affecting the user experience and the taste of the food.

[0121] It is understandable that the smoke inlet mesh 140 has a plurality of mesh holes, and the plurality of mesh holes are connected to the opening 127 .

[0122] In addition, since at least part of the heating element 130 is arranged around the circumference of the container 120, that is, at least part of the heating element 130 is arranged around the outer circumference of the container 120. Therefore, compared with the related art of placing the electric heating tube at the bottom of the smoking module for heating, the contact area between the heating element 130 and the container 120 can be effectively increased, and the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 on the container 120 can be improved, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber 111 can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer 100 and the user experience.

[0123] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air fryer 100 further includes a hot air device 150 , which is disposed on the body 110 and is used to deliver hot air to the cooking cavity 111 .

[0124] In this embodiment, it is defined that the air fryer 100 further includes a hot air device 150 . Specifically, the hot air device 150 is disposed on the body 110 , and the hot air device 150 can deliver hot air to the cooking cavity 111 .

[0125] It is understandable that the cooking cavity 111 can be used to accommodate food, and the hot air device 150 delivers hot air into the cooking cavity 111 so that the hot air flow circulates in the cooking cavity 111 to achieve heating and cooking of the food in the cooking cavity 111.

[0126] Optionally, the air fryer 100 also includes a frying barrel, which can be moved into or out of the cooking chamber 111. That is to say, the air fryer 100 is a drawer-type air fryer, and the food is placed in the frying barrel. The hot air device 150 transports hot air into the cooking chamber 111 to make the hot air flow circulate in the frying barrel, thereby achieving heating and cooking of the food in the frying barrel.

[0127] Optionally, the hot air device 150 includes a motor, a fan blade and a heating tube. The motor is connected to the fan blade, and the heating tube is located on the side of the fan blade facing the cooking cavity 111. Driven by the motor, the fan blade rotates in the cooking cavity 111, thereby forming a hot air flow with the heated air around the heating tube, which circulates in the cooking cavity 111, thereby realizing the air frying function of the air fryer 100.

[0128] Optionally, the heating tube includes at least two heating layers, and the at least two heating layers are arranged along the height direction of the main body 110, so as to increase the contact area between the heating tube and the air, improve the heating speed of the heating tube, and further improve the cooking efficiency of the air fryer 100.

[0129] In addition, since at least part of the heating element 130 is arranged around the circumference of the container 120, that is, at least part of the heating element 130 is arranged around the outer circumference of the container 120. Therefore, compared with the related art of placing the electric heating tube at the bottom of the smoking module for heating, the contact area between the heating element 130 and the container 120 can be effectively increased, and the heating efficiency of the heating element 130 on the container 120 can be improved, so that the wood and other fuels in the smoking chamber 121 can be quickly heated up and reach the ignition point, shortening the time for smoke generation, that is, reducing the waiting time for the wood to burn, and then the food in the cooking chamber 111 can be quickly smoked, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the air fryer 100 and the user experience.
