Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cookware, in particular to a drainage structure for an electric fryer. Background Art
[0002] An electric fryer is a pot that mainly uses electric heating to fry food. It is generally composed of an outer shell and a pot body placed inside the pot. The outer shell has a built-in electric heating component (such as an electric heating plate). When in use, the electric heating component is energized to generate heat to heat the pot body, thereby frying and cooking inside the pot body.
[0003] Generally, an electric fryer is also provided with a lid, which is buckled on the outer shell to cover the pot body when the food is being fried. In actual use, some foods with a high water content will produce more water vapor when being fried. After these water vapor contacts the lid, they will condense into water droplets, and then flow out from the edge of the lid along the inner wall of the lid. If these outflowing droplets flow back into the pot body, they will cause boiling, which is relatively unsafe.
[0004] Therefore, in the related art, a circle of drainage grooves is provided on the top of the shell to collect water condensed by the pot cover. For example, the utility model with announcement number CN216876071U discloses a deep fryer.
[0005] However, there are still defects in the actual application of the drainage groove provided on the shell as a drainage structure. For example, the drainage groove is directly provided on the shell, and it is not convenient to clean the stains in the drainage groove because the groove opening of the drainage groove is not very large and it is more laborious to clean the inside thereof. Furthermore, it is not convenient to directly wash the drainage groove with water. If it is directly washed with water, water can easily splash into the shell and damage the electric heating plate and other components. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0029] In the following description, terms such as "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. that indicate directions or positional relationships are only used to facilitate the description of the embodiments and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0030] See also Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a drainage structure for an electric fryer. For ease of understanding, the basic structure of the electric fryer is first described:
[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electric fryer mainly includes a shell 11 and a pot body 13. The shell 11 is provided with a pot cavity 12 for the pot body 13 to be placed in. An electric heating plate 14 is arranged at the bottom of the pot cavity 12. When in use, the pot body 13 is placed in the pot cavity 12, and the bottom wall of the pot body 13 is seated on the electric heating plate 14. The pot body 13 is heated by the electric heating plate 14 to achieve frying of food in the pot body 13.
[0032] The drainage structure provided in this embodiment is used to be installed on the top of the shell 11 of the electric fryer and surround the pot cavity 12, and is mainly used to receive condensed water flowing out of the edge of the pot cover 15. Generally speaking, the pot cover 15 is mainly a curved surface structure that gradually rises from the surroundings to the middle.
[0033] In the present embodiment, the drainage structure is detachably mounted on the housing 11; thus, when the drainage structure (e.g., the annular water tank 20) needs to be cleaned, the drainage structure can be removed from the housing 11 of the electric fryer and then directly placed in water for cleaning. In this way, the drainage structure can be cleaned with water without worrying that water will flow into the pot cavity 12 in the housing during the cleaning process to affect the internal components.
[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drainage structure includes an inner ring body 3 and an outer ring body 2. For example, in this embodiment, the inner ring body 3 and the outer ring body 2 are both circular ring structures to adapt to the circular pot cavity 12.
[0035] The inner ring body 3 is detachably connected to the inner side of the outer ring body 2 to form an annular water tank 20 with an open top and a closed bottom between the inner ring body 3 and the outer ring body 2. Preferably, the inner ring body 3 and the outer ring body 2 are coaxially arranged.
[0036] The annular water tank 20 is disposed on the top of the housing 11 and surrounds the pot cavity 12 to receive condensed water flowing out from the edge of the pot cover 15 .
[0037] When using, Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the pot cover 15 is buckled into the annular water trough 20 , so that the condensed water flowing out of the edge of the pot cover 15 can flow into the annular water trough 20 and be collected by the annular water trough 20 .
[0038] The annular water tank 20 is formed by an inner ring body 3 and an outer ring body 2 which are detachably connected to each other. Thus, when the annular water tank 20 needs to be deeply cleaned, the inner ring body 3 and the outer ring body 2 can be directly separated from each other and then cleaned separately.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner ring body 3 includes an inner ring body 31, and the outer ring body 2 includes an outer ring body 21; at least one of the inner ring body 31 and the outer ring body 21 is provided with a bottom ring body 22. In the assembled state, the inner ring body 31, the outer ring body 21 and the bottom ring body 22 together form the annular water tank 20, wherein the inner ring body 31 constitutes the inner circumferential wall of the annular water tank 20, the outer ring body 21 constitutes the outer circumferential wall of the annular water tank 20, and the bottom ring body 22 constitutes the bottom wall of the annular water tank 20, thereby realizing the annular water tank 20 with an open top and a closed bottom.
[0040] Specifically shown in this embodiment is that the bottom ring body 22 is arranged at the bottom of the outer ring body 21; the bottom of the inner ring body 31 is provided with a skirt portion 32 located on the outer peripheral side of the inner ring body 31, and the skirt portion 32 is preferably annular.
[0041] In the assembled state, the bottom ring body 22 is adsorbed on the skirt 32 through a magnetic attraction structure. Specifically:
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic attraction structure includes a magnet 5, the skirt 32 and the bottom ring body 22, one of which is embedded with the magnet 5, and the other is a component that can be attracted by the magnet 5. The following description takes the magnet 5 being arranged on the skirt 32 as an example:
[0043] The magnet 5 can be one or more, and multiple magnets 5 are evenly distributed on the upper wall of the skirt 32 along the circumference of the skirt 32, and the top wall of the magnet 5 is flush with the upper wall of the skirt 32; and the bottom ring body 22 can be a magnetic metal material, such as iron, steel, etc.
[0044] In this embodiment, when in use, the bottom ring body 22 is inserted into the inner ring body 31 from top to bottom until the bottom ring body 22 is seated on the upper wall of the skirt 32, and the bottom ring body 22 is adsorbed by the magnet 5, thereby realizing the adsorption connection between the inner ring body 3 and the outer ring body 2.
[0045] In addition, in order to improve the sealing performance between the bottom ring body 22 and the skirt 32, in this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the drainage structure also includes a sealing ring 4, which is embedded between the bottom ring body 22 and the skirt 32, and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner ring body 31. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet 5, the sealing ring 4 is squeezed between the bottom ring body 22 and the skirt 32 to achieve sealing.
[0046] In order to enable the magnet 5 to directly adsorb the bottom ring body 22, in this embodiment, the top surface of the skirt 32 and the bottom surface of the bottom ring body 22 are in contact with each other. Figure 3 As shown, an annular recessed step 221 for accommodating the sealing ring 4 is provided on the bottom wall of the bottom ring body 22 close to the inner ring body 31 .
[0047] In addition, in order to prevent the drainage structure from being easily displaced horizontally when installed on the electric fryer, in the present embodiment, the drainage structure further includes a positioning assembly, which includes a positioning protrusion 61 and a positioning hole 62 for vertically inserting the positioning protrusion 61; one of the positioning hole 62 and the positioning protrusion 61 is provided on the top of the housing 11, and the other is provided on the skirt 32.
[0048] For example, in this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, at least two arms 321 are extended outwardly on the skirt 32, and the positioning hole 62 is provided on the arm 321; a positioning protrusion 61 is provided on the top wall of the outer shell 11 at the position corresponding to the positioning hole 62. When in use, the positioning hole 62 is aligned with the positioning protrusion 61 and is put on the positioning protrusion 61, so that the inner ring body 3 is positioned in the horizontal direction and cannot be horizontally offset, thereby positioning the entire drainage structure in the horizontal direction.
[0049] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to drain the water in the annular water tank 20, the drainage structure includes a drainage port 210, and the drainage port 210 is connected to the annular water tank 20 to drain the water in the annular water tank 20. For example, in this embodiment, the drainage port 210 is arranged at the connection between the outer ring body 21 and the bottom ring body 22.
[0050] In order to drain the water discharged from the annular water tank 20 into the container, in this embodiment, one end of the drain port 210 away from the annular water tank 20 is connected to a connecting pipe 211 , and a hose 212 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 211 .
[0051] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
