Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Air fryers usually cook with little or no added fat, and the hot air circulation can evenly cover the surface of the food with hot air so that the food can be evenly heated and baked. This can achieve an effect similar to frying, but with lower fat content and is healthier.

[0027] The internal structure of an air fryer is complex, especially near the fan and heating elements. These parts may be difficult to clean and are prone to grease and food debris. Although some air fryers have easily removable parts, most air fryers still require manual cleaning by the user. There are also cleaning methods on the market, such as split disassembly, liquid cleaning fluids, and flushing components, but the effects of these cleaning methods are not ideal. In addition, the fryer heating components are very sensitive to water. Once they are exposed to water, it is easy to cause an electrical short circuit, which poses a safety hazard to the entire machine and greatly reduces the service life of the entire machine. At the same time, the workload of manual cleaning has not been reduced accordingly, but has increased the workload of users.

[0028] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments: an air fryer with a plasma self-cleaning function, comprising an air fryer body 1, the air fryer body 1 is provided with a monitoring component 2 for detecting the inside of a cooking cavity of the air fryer and a plasma generating structure 3 capable of generating plasma, the air fryer is also provided with a functional cavity 35, the plasma generating structure 3 is arranged in the functional cavity 35, the plasma generating structure 3 is provided with a plasma nozzle 31, and the plasma generating structure is provided with a telescopic structure for driving the plasma nozzle 31 to extend out of the functional cavity 35.

[0029] According to the air fryer with plasma self-cleaning function of the present application, the present application adopts a monitoring component 2 set in the functional cavity 35 of the air fryer body 1, and the monitoring component 2 can monitor whether there is food in the cavity of the air fryer body 1 after cooking. When there is no food, the self-cleaning function can be started, and the plasma nozzle 31 of the plasma generating structure 3 is controlled to extend out of the functional cavity 35 to emit plasma. Plasma cleaning can effectively remove small organic molecules and oil stains adsorbed on the inner surface of the air fryer cavity. After the self-cleaning function is completed, the plasma nozzle 31 is controlled to retract into the functional cavity 35 to wait for the next self-cleaning work, so as to clean the grease pollutants inside the air fryer, and at the same time effectively reduce the user's cleaning workload.

[0030] Plasma self-cleaning technology can perform self-cleaning corresponding to the amount of oil stains generated after each cooking. This technology does not require the addition of cleaning water or liquid detergent. It only needs to generate high-energy disordered plasma under a certain pressure through a radio frequency power supply. The ion cleaning machine can effectively remove small organic molecules and oil stains adsorbed on the surface of the substrate. Since the main components of oil pollutants are hydrocarbons, the high-energy atomic radicals in the plasma are easy to combine with compound molecules to form new unstable free radicals. The newly generated free radicals are further decomposed, and new free radicals are generated while generating small molecules. This process continues, and the hydrocarbons in the oil pollutants are oxidized by these active oxygen atoms to produce carbon dioxide and water, thereby achieving the removal of oil pollutants.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present application, the plasma generating structure 3 is further provided with a telescopic structure and a plasma generating part, wherein the telescopic structure is provided in the functional cavity 35, one end of the telescopic structure is connected to the plasma nozzle 31, and the other end of the telescopic structure is connected to the plasma generating part. The telescopic structure can extend the plasma nozzle 31 from the functional cavity 35 to the outside of the functional cavity 35, and the processing area of ​​the plasma nozzle 31 performs plasma cleaning on the structure in the air fryer cavity. The plasma cleaning can effectively remove the organic small molecules and oil stains adsorbed on the inner surface of the air fryer cavity. The plasma nozzle 31 has a 360-degree rotation function, and can clean any grease pollutants in the air fryer cavity without dead angles, effectively reducing the cleaning workload of the user.

During the plasma generation process, the high-frequency electric field or voltage can provide sufficient energy to excite gas molecules to a high energy level, thereby forming plasma; the power regulator 32 is used to adjust the power output by the high-voltage frequency generator 33. The generation of plasma requires appropriate energy input, and the power regulator 32 can adjust the output power as needed to ensure the stability and efficiency of plasma generation.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present application, the telescopic structure is provided with a flexible tube 34 , one end of the flexible tube 34 is connected to the plasma shower head 31 , and the other end of the flexible tube 34 is connected to the power regulator 32 .

[0037] In this embodiment, a hot air circulation assembly and a heating tube 63 are provided on the frying basket 5, and the hot air heated by the heating tube 63 is quickly circulated by a powerful hot air circulation fan 62, so that the surface and the inside of the food can be heated evenly. Since the hot air circulation enables the hot air to quickly cover the surface of the food and quickly exchange heat with the air around the food, the cooking speed is usually faster than that of a traditional oven.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present application, the plasma nozzle 31 of the utility model can also clean the hot air circulation component and the heating tube 63 in the air fryer, and play a good protective role in cleaning the hot air circulation component and the heating tube 63. While cleaning the grease pollutants inside the air fryer, it effectively improves the safety and service life of the whole machine and effectively reduces the user's cleaning workload.

In this process, the user's manual operation to turn on the function process can be reduced to prevent the user from forgetting to turn on the self-cleaning function, making it easier for the user to use and enjoy the plasma self-cleaning function of this solution;

[0045] After cooking is finished, when the monitor detects that there is no food in the inner cavity, the plasma self-cleaning device extends out of the functional cavity 35 to operate. In this process, the accuracy and timeliness of judging whether the air fryer needs to be cleaned can be improved;

[0046] After the cleaning is finished, the plasma self-cleaning device is retracted into the functional chamber 35 to finish the work. After the functional chamber 35 is completely retracted, the air fryer automatically shuts down. In this process, the machine automatically completes the cleaning work, and there is no need for a person to stay by the machine or join in the cleaning, which improves the self-cleaning intelligence of the air fryer;

[0047] Since the present application adds plasma cleaning technology and a self-cleaning function workflow, it can bring about the beneficial effects of accurate and timely self-cleaning judgment and cleaner air fryer, and improve the overall safety and service life of the air fryer, effectively reducing the user's cleaning workload.

[0048] The solution of the present application is mainly used in the scenario where the oil stains on the air fryer are difficult to clean after use.
