[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the following embodiments are combined with the accompanying drawings to explain the present invention in detail. Figure 2 The direction from the motor to the handle shown in the middle of the paper is from back to front in this embodiment.
[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , the air fryer with a grill provided in this embodiment includes:
[0028] A fryer body 1 is provided with a cooking cavity which is open at the front side.
[0029] The pot body assembly 2 is assembled in the cooking cavity in a drawer-type structure and can be pulled out of the cooking cavity forward;
[0030] The grill assembly 3 is rotatably assembled in the pot assembly 2 to carry food;
[0031] The motor 4 is fixedly mounted in the fryer body 1, and when the fryer body assembly 2 is assembled in the cooking cavity, the output shaft of the motor 4 is detachably connected to one end of the grill assembly 3 to drive the grill assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially.
[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the air fryer with a grill includes a fryer main body 1, a pot body assembly 2, a grill assembly 3, and a motor 4. The pot body assembly 2 is assembled in the cooking cavity of the fryer main body 1 in a drawer-type structure. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to one end of the grill assembly 3, and can drive the grill assembly 3 to rotate circumferentially in the cooking cavity, so that food can be fried and grilled in the cooking cavity in a suspended manner through the grill assembly 3, and the food can be heated more evenly as the grill assembly 3 rotates, and the fried food tastes better.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the pot assembly 2 includes a pot body 21, a cover 22 mounted on one side of the pot body 21, and a handle 23 arranged on the side of the cover 22 away from the pot body 21, and the grill assembly 3 is detachably mounted in the pot body 21. Further, a support plate 6 is respectively mounted on the two opposite side walls of the pot body 21, and the upper edges of the two support plates 6 are respectively formed with a groove, and the two ends of the grill assembly 3 are respectively detachably clamped in the two grooves to allow the grill assembly 3 to be pulled out upward. Obviously, the grill assembly 3 can also be a structure fixed in the pot body 21, which can also achieve the above technical purpose.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a coupling 5 is rotatably mounted in the fryer body 1, a through hole is provided on the side wall of the fryer body 21 facing the coupling 5, one end of the grill assembly 3 is detachably connected to the coupling 5 through the through hole, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the coupling 5 in a driving manner, so that the grill assembly 3 can be rotated.
[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, in combination with Figures 3 to 5 As shown in , the coupling 5 comprises a bottom shell 51, an end cover 52 which covers the bottom shell 51 and has an opening in the middle, and the bottom shell 51 and the end cover 52 enclose a mounting cavity 50, and the mounting cavity 50 contains a connecting block 53 and an elastic member 54 for urging the connecting block 53 to move toward the opening direction, and the bottom of the bottom shell 51 is formed with a first connecting hole 55 for axially connecting the output shaft of the motor 4, and the connecting block 53 at least partially extends out of the opening and has a second connecting hole 56 for axially connecting the grill assembly 3. In the process of installing one end of the grill assembly 3, the connecting block 53 can be forced to squeeze the elastic member 54 and retract, and reset under the action of the elastic member 54 after being assembled in place, so as to facilitate the assembly operation of the two. In addition, the elastic member 54 is a spring, but it can also be a structure such as an elastic rubber column, and at the same time, the structure of the coupling 5 can also be replaced by a transmission structure such as a gear rack, but is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the bottom shell 51 has an external thread, and the inner wall of the end cover 52 has an internal thread matching the external thread. The end cover 52 is screwed onto the bottom shell 51, which is convenient for assembling the two on the one hand and can adjust the space size of the internal installation cavity 50 on the other hand.
[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, the grill assembly 3 includes a rotating rod 31, at least one food loading fork frame 32 mounted on the rotating rod 31, and both ends of the rotating rod 31 are formed with an annular groove, and the annular groove can be detachably clamped in the groove of the bracket plate 6 to realize a structure that can rotate and is easy to remove. In this embodiment, the food loading fork frame 32 is generally in a horizontal "U" shape. Furthermore, the end of the rotating rod 31 is also in a ball head shape, and the end surface of the connecting block 53 is also formed with an arc-shaped notch 57 around the second connecting hole 56, so that even if the rotating rod 31 cannot be fully inserted into the second connecting hole 56 after assembly, it will be limited in the arc-shaped notch 57, and when the coupling 5 is rotated to a relative position, it is automatically aligned and connected under the action of the spring.
[0037] As a further preferred embodiment, a connecting column 58 is erected on the inner bottom surface of the bottom shell 51, and a guide limit structure is formed between the outer wall of the connecting column 58 and the inner wall of the connecting block 53, which is used to limit the circumferential rotation of the connecting block 53 relative to the connecting column 58 and allow the connecting block 53 to move axially relative to the connecting column 58. Specifically, the limit structure is a spoke-shaped guide rib formed on the outer wall of the connecting column 58 and an annular strip groove formed on the inner wall of the connecting block 53, so that the connecting block 53 can be ensured to rotate synchronously with the bottom shell 51. The structure can also be designed between the outer wall of the connecting block 53 and the inner wall of the bottom shell 51. Furthermore, the end of the connecting column 58 facing the connecting block 53 is also formed with a spherical groove 59 for accommodating the end of the rotating rod 31, so that the rear end of the rotating rod completely passes through the second connecting hole 56 and abuts against the spherical groove 59.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the cover 22 and the handle 23 are an integrated structure.
[0039] It is worth pointing out that in this embodiment, the grill assembly 3 is a structure that is horizontally arranged and can rotate in the circumferential direction, and one end of the grill assembly 3 is axially connected to the coupling 5 and the motor 4. However, it is also possible to consider setting the grill assembly 3 as a structure that is vertically installed in the pot body 21 and can rotate in the circumferential direction, and design the coupling 5 and the motor 4 at the bottom of the cooking cavity, which can also achieve the above technical purpose, and is not limited to this. At the same time, in order to realize the basic functions of the air fryer, the fryer body 1 is also arranged with an electric heating component and a fan at the upper position of the cooking cavity. It is a conventional structure, so it is omitted here.
[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, which is only illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalences can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the utility model, but they will all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
