DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 9 As shown, the utility model provides an air fryer, comprising a fryer 1 and a flip assembly 2, the fryer 1 comprising a heating assembly 110, a base 120 and a pot 130, the lower end of the flip assembly 2 is respectively fixed to both sides of the base 120, the two ends of the heating assembly 110 are respectively rotated and matched on the flip assembly 2, and the heating assembly 110 is located above the base 120. When the heating tube of the heating assembly 110 faces downward, the pot 130 can be placed between the heating assembly 110 and the base 120; when the heating tube of the heating assembly 110 is rotated to face upward through the flip assembly 2, the pot 130 can be placed on the upper surface of the heating assembly 110.

[0036] like Figure 1The flip assembly 2 includes a shell 3, a rotating module 4 and a locking module 5. One end of the rotating module 4 is fixed to the outer side of the heating assembly 110, and the other end of the rotating module 4 is rotatably matched to the inner side of the shell 3. The heating assembly 110 is rotatably matched to the inner side of the shell 3 by the rotating module 4. The locking module 5 is used to lock and unlock the rotating module 4 to control the fixing and flipping of the heating assembly 110. Specifically, as Figure 1 , 5 8, the locking module 5 includes a button 510, a locking plate 520 and a locking member 530, the button 510 is arranged on the outer side of the housing 3, the locking plate 520 is located in the housing 3, the button 510 is pressed, the button 510 pushes the locking plate 520 to move in the housing 3 (move in the vertical plane); the locking member 530 is located between the locking plate 520 and the rotating module 4, the front end of the locking member 530 is located in the housing 3, the rear end of the locking member 530 penetrates the housing 3 and extends to the rotating module 4, and the locking member 530 is movably matched on the housing 3; as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and 3 In order for the locking member 530 to lock and unlock the rotating module 5, two first positioning grooves 410 are provided on the front side of the rotating module 5, and the first positioning grooves 410 are symmetrical about the rotation center of the rotating module 4. Correspondingly, a second positioning groove 521 is provided on the rear side of the locking plate 520, and a compression spring 531 is provided in the shell 3. The compression spring 531 is sleeved on the outer side of the front end of the locking member 530. The compression spring 531 is used to make the front end of the locking member 530 abut against the rear side of the locking plate 520, and the rear end of the locking member 530 is stuck in the first positioning groove 410 to lock the rotating module 4, so that the heating component 110 cannot be flipped by the rotating module 4. Press the button 510 by hand, and the button 510 pushes the locking plate 520 to translate in the housing 3, so that the second positioning groove 521 is aligned with the locking member 530, and the compression spring 531 drives the locking member 530 to be stuck in the second positioning groove 521, and the rear end of the locking member 530 is separated from the first positioning groove 410 to unlock the rotating module 4, so that the heating component 110 can be turned over by the rotating module 4. Specifically, the number of locking members 530 is two, and correspondingly, the number of second positioning grooves 521 is also two, so that the rotating module 4 is better locked, and the heating component 110 will not be easily turned over, and the reliability is high. Specifically, the cross-section of the locking member 530 is a polygon, such as a triangle, a rectangle and a rhombus, so that the heating component 110 will not be easily rotated. That is to say, when the number of the locking member 530 is one, the cross-section of the locking member 530 is a polygon; when the number of the locking member 530 is two or more, the cross-section of the locking member 530 is a circle or a polygon.

[0037] During the rotation of the heating component 110, the first positioning groove 410 deviates from the locking member 530. At this time, the button 510 can be released until the heating component 110 rotates 180° and the other first positioning groove 410 is aligned with the locking member 530. At this time, the locking plate 520 is reset. During the reset process of the locking plate 520, the locking member 530 is squeezed into the first positioning groove 410 to re-lock the heating component 110.

[0038] As an example, Figure 6 and 7 In order to facilitate the arrangement of the compression spring 531, a guide column 320 corresponding to the locking member 530 is provided in the housing 3, and a guide hole 321 is provided on the end face of the guide column 320, and the guide hole 321 penetrates the rear side of the housing 3 backwards, and the locking member 530 slides forward and backward in the guide hole 321, and the rear end of the compression spring 531 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide column 320, and the front end of the compression spring 531 is arranged at the front end of the locking member 530, and the compression spring 531 is used to drive the locking plate 520 to reset, and the locking plate 520 drives the button 510 to reset and squeezes the locking member 530 to make the locking member 530 disengage from the second positioning groove 521. Specifically, in order to prevent the locking member 530 from disengaging from the housing 3, an annular protrusion 532 protruding from the outer side of the locking member 530 is provided on the outer side of the front end of the locking member 530.

[0039] Specifically, the front end of the locking member 530 is a slope, and the inner wall of the second positioning groove 521 is also a slope. The front end of the locking member 530 is inserted into the second positioning groove 521 through the cooperation of the slopes, and is also disengaged from the second positioning groove 521 through the cooperation of the slopes. The slope plays a guiding role, the movement is smooth, and the reliability is high.

[0040] As an example, Figure 3 and 4In order to facilitate the key 510 to drive the locking plate 520 to move, at least one extrusion protrusion 511 is provided on the rear side of the key 510, and a slope 522 is provided on the front side of the locking plate 520. The slope of the extrusion protrusion 511 is used to press the slope 522, so that the locking plate 520 moves on the inner surface of the housing 3, and the second positioning groove 521 on the locking plate 520 is aligned with the locking member 530 or deviates from the locking member 530. Specifically, in order to prevent the locking plate 520 from moving backward after the movement is completed, a groove 523 corresponding to the extrusion protrusion 511 is further provided on the front side of the locking plate 520. The slope 522 is located in the groove 523. The extrusion protrusion 511 extends into the groove 523 to squeeze the slope 522. In this way, the extrusion protrusion 511 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 523 to prevent the locking plate 520 from moving backward, and the reliability is high. Specifically, the slope 522 is provided on the inner side wall of the groove 523, so that the travel of the extrusion protrusion 511 from one side of the groove 523 to the other side of the groove 523 is the longest, thereby increasing the travel of the locking plate 520, ensuring that the locking member 530 is completely separated from the second positioning groove 521 or is completely stuck in the second positioning groove 521, and having high reliability. Specifically, in order to ensure that the locking plate 520 moves smoothly, the number of the grooves 523 is two, and the grooves 523 are respectively located at both ends of the locking plate 520, so that the extrusion force of the button 510 on the locking plate 520 is even.

[0041] Specifically, in order to facilitate the resetting of the locking plate 520, a return spring 310 is further provided in the shell 3, one end of the return spring 310 is arranged on the locking plate 520, and the other end of the return spring 310 is arranged in the shell 3. When the locking plate 520 is pushed by the button 510, the return spring 310 is compressed; when the first positioning groove 410 is realigned with the locking member 530, the return spring 310 drives the locking plate 520 to reset. Since the slope 522 cooperates with the inclined surface of the extrusion protrusion 511, the locking plate 520 drives the button 510 to reset. At the same time, since the front end of the locking member 530 cooperates with the inclined surface of the second positioning groove 521, the locking plate 520 squeezes the locking member 530 during the resetting process, so that the locking member 530 is stuck in the first positioning groove 410 and disengaged from the second positioning groove 521.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 3 is divided into a front housing and a rear housing, and the front housing and the rear housing are combined to form the housing 3 .

[0043] As an embodiment, the rotating module 4 is fixed to the heating assembly 110 by bolts, a rotating protrusion 430 is provided on the rotating module 4, and a rotating groove 330 corresponding to the rotating protrusion 430 is provided on the rear side of the shell 3. The rotating module 4 rotates and cooperates in the rotating groove 330 through the rotating protrusion 430 to realize the flipping of the heating combination 110.

[0044] As an embodiment, in order to increase the resistance between the rotating module 4 and the housing 3, a buffer pad 420 is further provided on the front side of the rotating module 4 to prevent the heating component 110 from rotating too fast. Specifically, the number of the buffer pads 420 is two, and the buffering effect is good. Specifically, the buffer pad 420 can be silica gel, which can not only play a buffering role, but also eliminate the abnormal sound between the rotating module 4 and the housing 3 during the rotation of the heating component 110.

[0045] An air fryer comprises a fryer 1 and a flip assembly 2, the fryer 1 comprises a heating assembly 110, a base 120 and a pot 130, the lower end of the flip assembly 2 is respectively fixed on both sides of the base 120, the two ends of the heating assembly 110 are respectively rotatably matched on the flip assembly 2, the heating assembly 110 is located above the base 120, the flip assembly 2 comprises a shell 3, a rotating module 4 and a locking module 5, a rotating protrusion 430 is arranged in the middle of the rotating module 4, two first positioning grooves 410 are arranged on the rotating module 4, and the first positioning grooves 410 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating protrusion 430; the locking module 5 comprises a button 510, a locking plate 520 and a locking member 530, and two extrusion protrusions 511 are arranged on the rear side of the button 510.

[0046] Specifically, the principle of the utility model is that the locking module 5 includes a button 510 and a locking piece 530. Pressing the button 510 causes the locking piece 530 to disengage from the rotating module 4 to unlock the heating component 110, so that the heating component 110 can be flipped over; after the heating component 110 is flipped over 180°, the locking piece 530 is re-stuck on the rotating module 4 to lock the heating component 110. Pressing the button 510 can lock and unlock the heating component 110, and the operation is simple. In addition, since the button 110 is arranged on the outside of the shell 3, the hand will not touch the heating component 110 or the fryer 1 during operation, and it is not easy to get burned.

[0047] Action process: Unlock the heating component 110: Press the button 510 by hand, the extrusion protrusion 511 of the button 510 extends into the groove 523 to squeeze the slope 522, and the locking plate 520 moves horizontally in the housing 3, so that the second positioning groove 521 faces the locking member 530, so that the compression spring 531 drives the locking member 530 to disengage from the first positioning groove 410 and get stuck in the second positioning groove 521, thereby unlocking the rotating module 4. Since the rotating module 4 is fixed on the outer surface of the heating component 110, the heating component 110 is unlocked, and the reset spring 310 is compressed at this time. In this way, the heating component 110 can be flipped. During the flipping process, since the first positioning groove 410 has deviated from the locking member 530, the button 510 can be released.

[0048] Locking the heating component 110: When the heating component 110 rotates 180°, the other first positioning groove 410 is aligned with the locking member 530. At this time, the reset spring 310 pushes the locking plate 520 to reset. At the same time, due to the action of the slope 522 and the extrusion protrusion 511, the button 510 is reset. At the same time, the second positioning groove 521 deviates from the locking member 530. The front end of the locking member 530 is separated from the second positioning groove 521 and abuts against the rear side of the locking plate 520, and the rear end of the locking member 530 is stuck in the first positioning groove 410, so as to achieve the locking of the rotating module 4. Since the rotating module 4 is fixed on the outer surface of the heating component 110, the heating component 110 is automatically locked, and no manual locking is required, which is convenient to operate. That is to say, after the button 510 is pressed to unlock the heating component 110, the heating component 110 completes the 180° flip, and the heating component 110 is automatically locked again by resetting the locking plate 520.

[0049] On the basis of the above scheme, if various changes or modifications to the utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and if these changes and modifications fall within the claims and equivalent technical scope of the utility model, the utility model is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
