[0029] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or mutual communication; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal connection between two elements, or interaction between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0032] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides an air fryer 100. The air fryer 100 includes a baking tray 10, a hot air assembly 20, and a lifting mechanism 30. The lifting mechanism 30 is connected to the hot air assembly 20. The lifting mechanism 30 is configured to drive the hot air assembly 20 to rise and fall to adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10. That is, the user can drive the hot air assembly 20 to rise and fall through the lifting mechanism 30 according to different quantities or different thicknesses of food, and freely adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10, so that the air fryer 100 has a better cooking effect when cooking food.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the air fryer 100 may further include a frying barrel 40, and the baking tray 10 is placed in the frying barrel 40. The lifting mechanism 30 may be connected to the hot air assembly 20 by screw thread or welding.

[0034] In one embodiment, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook fewer or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the hot air assembly 20 can be driven to move in the direction of A by the lifting mechanism 30, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, and the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the ingredients becomes closer, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients. It can be understood that when the ingredients are fewer or thinner, if the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is far, the hot air output by the hot air assembly 20 cannot flow to the food placed on the baking tray 10 in time, resulting in poor cooking effect when the air fryer 100 is cooking fewer or thinner ingredients. Therefore, the present application can drive the hot air assembly 20 to move in the direction of A by the lifting mechanism 30, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, and the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the ingredients becomes closer, so that the hot air output by the hot air assembly 20 can flow to the food placed on the baking tray 10 in time, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0035] In another embodiment, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook more or thicker food, before starting to cook the food, the hot air assembly 20 can be driven to move in the direction of B by the lifting mechanism 30, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is increased, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the food. It can be understood that when the food is more or thicker, if the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is close, the hot air output by the hot air assembly 20 cannot flow evenly to all the food, which will cause the food that is farther away from the hot air assembly 20 to be cooked while the food that is closer to the hot air assembly 20 is overcooked. Therefore, the present application can drive the hot air assembly 20 to move in the direction of B by the lifting mechanism 30, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is increased, so that the hot air output by the hot air assembly 20 can flow to all the food more timely and evenly, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the food.

[0036] It should be noted that, during the process of cooking food in the air fryer 100, the hot air component 20 can also be driven to rise and fall by the lifting mechanism 30 to adjust the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on food.

[0037] In this way, the air fryer 100 of the present application can drive the hot air component 20 to rise and fall to adjust the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 according to different quantities, types or thicknesses of ingredients, through the lifting mechanism 30 connected to the hot air component 20, so as to achieve a better cooking effect when the air fryer 100 cooks the ingredients.

[0038] It should be noted that the drawings of the present application only illustrate the situation where the hot air assembly 20 is arranged above the baking tray 10 . In addition, the hot air assembly 20 can also be arranged below the baking tray 10 .

[0039] In addition, before the air fryer 100 cooks different types of ingredients, the lifting mechanism 30 can also be used to drive the hot air component 20 to rise and fall, adjust the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10, and improve the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0040] For example, when the air fryer 100 is cooking vegetables, before starting to cook the vegetables, the hot air component 20 can be driven by the lifting mechanism 30 to move in the direction A so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced. At this time, the distance between the hot air component 20 and the vegetables becomes closer, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the vegetables.

[0041] For another example, when the air fryer 100 is cooking meat, before starting to cook the meat, the hot air component 20 can be driven by the lifting mechanism 30 to move in the direction B, so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is increased, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the meat.

[0042] In some embodiments, the hot air assembly 20 includes a fan 21 and a heating pipe 23. The lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting frame 31 and a driving assembly 33. The fan 21 and the heating pipe 23 are both arranged on the lifting frame 31, and the driving assembly 33 is used to drive the lifting frame 31 to drive the hot air assembly 20 to rise and fall.

[0043] Specifically, the fan 21 and the heating pipe 23 can be arranged on the lifting frame 31 by screwing, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the fan 21 and the heating pipe 23. The fan 21 and the heating pipe 23 can also be arranged on the lifting frame 31 by welding, so that the fan 21 and the heating pipe 23 are more firmly arranged on the lifting frame 31. One end of the lifting frame 31 is sleeved on the driving assembly 33.

[0044] For example, Figure 1 As shown, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the driving component 33 can drive the lifting frame 31 to move in the direction A, so as to drive the fan 21 and the heating tube 23 disposed on the lifting frame 31 to descend, so that the distance between the fan 21 and the heating tube 23 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0045] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the hot air assembly 20 includes a fan 21. The air fryer 100 also includes a heating pipe 23. The heating pipe 23 is fixed relative to the baking tray 10 in the lifting direction. The lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting frame 31 and a driving assembly 33. The fan 21 is arranged on the lifting frame 31. The driving assembly 33 is used to drive the lifting frame 31 to lift and lower the fan 21 to adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10. It can be understood that in these embodiments, when the fan 21 is lifted and lowered relative to the baking tray 10, the heating pipe 23 does not move relative to the baking tray 10 in the lifting direction.

[0046] Specifically, the fan 21 can be set on the lifting frame 31 by screwing, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the fan 21. The fan 21 can also be set on the lifting frame 31 by welding, so that the fan 21 is more firmly set on the lifting frame 31. One end of the lifting frame 31 is sleeved on the driving component 33. The hot air component 20 also includes a heating pipe 23. The heating pipe 23 can be set below the fan 21.

[0047] For example, Figure 2 As shown, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the driving component 33 can drive the lifting frame 31 to move in the direction A to drive the fan 21 set on the lifting frame 31 to descend, so that the distance between the fan 21 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, and the fan 21 can blow more heat generated by the heating tube 23 into the baking tray 10, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0048] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the hot air assembly 20 includes a heating pipe 23. The lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting frame 31 and a driving assembly 33. The heating pipe 23 is arranged on the lifting frame 31, and the driving assembly 33 is used to drive the lifting frame 31 to lift and lower the heating pipe 23 to adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10. The air fryer 100 also includes a fan 21. The fan 21 is fixed in the lifting direction relative to the baking tray 10. In these embodiments, when the heating pipe 23 is lifted and lowered relative to the baking tray 10, the fan 21 does not move in the lifting direction relative to the baking tray 10.

[0049] Specifically, the heating pipe 23 can be set on the lifting frame 31 by screwing, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the heating pipe 23. The heating pipe 23 can also be set on the lifting frame 31 by welding, so that the heating pipe 23 is more firmly set on the lifting frame 31. One end of the lifting frame 31 is sleeved on the driving component 33. The hot air component 20 also includes a fan 21. The fan 21 can be set above the heating pipe 23.

[0050] For example, Figure 3As shown, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the lifting frame 31 can be driven to move in the direction A by the driving component 33 to drive the heating tube 23 set on the lifting frame 31 to descend, so that the distance between the heating tube 23 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, and the heat generated by the heating tube 23 can be blown into the baking tray 10 by the fan 21, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0051] The lifting frame 31 can be a rectangular closed frame or a rectangular closed frame, so that the hot air component 20 can be carried and set inside the lifting frame 31, which is not limited here. Of course, the lifting frame 31 can also be a semi-open load-bearing frame, which is not limited here. The lifting frame 31 can carry the hot air component 20 and is connected to the driving component 33, so that the lifting frame 31 can drive the hot air component 20 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0052] The lifting frame 31 can be made of metal, which is not limited here. For example, the lifting frame 31 can be made of aluminum alloy to reduce the overall weight of the air fryer 100 while ensuring the rigidity of the lifting frame 31.

[0053] Please refer again Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lifting frame 31 includes a bearing portion 311 and a connecting portion 313. The bearing portion 311 is connected to the connecting portion 313, the hot air assembly 20 is disposed on the bearing portion 311, and the connecting portion 313 is connected to the driving assembly 33. The driving assembly 33 is used to drive the connecting portion 313 to drive the bearing portion 311 and the hot air assembly 20 connected to the bearing portion 311 to rise and fall, so as to adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the bearing portion 311 can be connected to the connecting portion 313 by welding, so that the bearing portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 are more firmly connected. The bearing portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 can also be integrally formed to reduce production costs. The hot air component 20 can be set on the bearing portion 311 by screwing or welding, or can be directly placed on the bearing portion 311 without fixing parts, which is not limited here. The connecting portion 313 is sleeved on the driving component 33.

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, the driving component 33 can drive the connection part 313 to rotate, so that the connection part 313 rotates to drive the bearing part 311 to move in the A direction or the B direction, thereby driving the hot air component 20 disposed on the bearing part 311 to move up and down, and adjusting the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10. That is, when the driving component 33 drives the connection part 313 to rotate, it can drive the bearing part 311 to move down in the A direction, thereby driving the hot air component 20 disposed on the bearing part 311 to move down, so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced. When the driving component 33 drives the connection part 313 to rotate, it can drive the bearing part 311 to move up in the B direction, thereby driving the hot air component 20 disposed on the bearing part 311 to move up, so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is increased.

[0056] Specifically, the driving assembly 33 includes a motor 331, which is connected to the lifting frame 31, and the motor 331 is used to drive the lifting frame 31 to drive the hot air assembly 20 to rise and fall. The motor 331 can be set at any end of the lifting frame 31. The motor 331 can be a linear motor or a telescopic motor, which is not limited here.

[0057] In detail, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the lifting frame 31 can be driven by the motor 331 to move in the direction A, driving the hot air assembly 20 disposed on the lifting frame 31 to descend, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0058] When the air fryer 100 needs to cook more or thicker ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the motor 331 can be used to drive the lifting frame 31 to move in the direction of B, driving the hot air component 20 set on the lifting frame 31 to rise, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0059] In this way, the air fryer 100 of the present application can drive the lifting frame 31 to lift the hot air component 20 through the motor 331, so that when adjusting the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10, no manual intervention is required, which improves the user experience and can also improve the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the food.

[0060] See also Figure 4 In another embodiment, the driving assembly 33 further includes a screw 333 . The screw 333 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 313 , and the motor 331 is used to drive the screw 333 to rotate, so that the connecting portion 313 can slide along the screw 333 .

[0061] The screw rod 333 can be arranged along the axial direction of the air fryer 100. The inner wall of the connecting portion 313 is provided with a thread pattern matching with the screw rod 333, and the connecting portion 313 is sleeved on the screw rod 333 in a threaded connection manner. The motor 331 can be arranged at either end of the screw rod 333.

[0062] In detail, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the motor 331 can be used to drive the screw 333 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting part 313 and the supporting part 311 connected to the connecting part 313 to move along the A direction, thereby driving the hot air component 20 disposed on the supporting part 311 to descend, so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0063] When the air fryer 100 needs to cook more or thicker ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the motor 331 can be used to drive the screw 333 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting part 313 and the supporting part 311 connected to the connecting part 313 to move along the direction B, thereby driving the hot air assembly 20 disposed on the supporting part 311 to rise, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0064] In addition, the screw rod 333 can be made of metal, which is not limited here. For example, the screw rod 333 can be made of aluminum alloy to reduce the overall weight of the air fryer 100 while ensuring the rigidity of the screw rod 333.

[0065] See also Figure 5 In another embodiment, the driving assembly 33 includes a screw rod 333 and a knob 335. The screw rod 333 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 313. The knob 335 is disposed at the end of the screw rod 333, and the screw rod 333 can be rotated by the knob 335, so that the connecting portion 313 can slide along the screw rod 333.

[0066] Specifically, the inner wall of the connection part 313 is provided with a thread pattern that matches the screw rod 333, and the connection part 313 is sleeved on the screw rod 333 in a threaded connection manner. The knob 335 can be set at the end of the screw rod 333 by welding, so that the knob 335 is more firmly set at the end of the screw rod 333. The knob 335 and the screw rod 333 can also be integrally formed to reduce production costs.

[0067] In detail, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the user can rotate the knob 335 clockwise to drive the screw 333 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the connecting part 313 and the supporting part 311 connected to the connecting part 313 to move along the A direction, thereby driving the hot air component 20 disposed on the supporting part 311 to descend, so that the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0068] When the air fryer 100 needs to cook more or thicker ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the user can rotate the knob 335 counterclockwise to drive the screw 333 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the connecting part 313 and the supporting part 311 connected to the connecting part 313 to move along the B direction, thereby driving the hot air assembly 20 disposed on the supporting part 311 to rise, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0069] It should be noted that during the process of cooking food in the air fryer 100, the user can also drive the screw 333 to rotate by rotating the knob 335, thereby driving the connecting part 313 and the supporting part 311 connected to the connecting part 313 to move, thereby driving the hot air component 20 set on the supporting part 311 to rise and fall, adjust the distance between the hot air component 20 and the baking tray 10, and improve the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on food.

[0070] See also Figure 6 In another embodiment, the driving assembly 33 is provided with a first tooth portion 337. The connecting portion 313 is provided with a second tooth portion 315. The first tooth portion 337 is meshed with the second tooth portion 315, so that the first tooth portion 337 drives the second tooth portion 315 and the connecting portion 313 connected to the second tooth portion 315 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10.

[0071] Specifically, the first tooth portion 337 can be disposed at an end of the driving component 33 facing the hot air component 20. The second tooth portion 315 can be disposed at an end of the connecting portion 313 away from the hot air component 20. The first tooth portion 337 and the driving component 33 can be integrally formed, and the second tooth portion 315 and the connecting portion 313 can also be integrally formed to reduce production costs.

[0072] In detail, when the air fryer 100 needs to cook less or thinner ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the first tooth portion 337 provided on the driving assembly 33 moves along the A direction, driving the second tooth portion 315 and the connecting portion 313 to move, thereby driving the hot air assembly 20 provided on the bearing portion 311 to descend, so that the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 is reduced, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0073] When the air fryer 100 needs to cook more or thicker ingredients, before starting to cook the ingredients, the first tooth portion 337 provided on the driving assembly 33 moves along the B direction, driving the second tooth portion 315 and the connecting portion 313 to move, thereby driving the hot air assembly 20 provided on the bearing portion 311 to rise, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer 100 on the ingredients.

[0074] The present application also provides an air fryer assembly, including the air fryer 100 of any of the above embodiments. The specific structure of the air fryer 100 is as described above, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0075] In this way, the air fryer 100 of the air fryer assembly of the present application can drive the hot air assembly 20 to rise and fall to adjust the distance between the hot air assembly 20 and the baking tray 10 according to different quantities, types or thicknesses of ingredients, through the lifting mechanism 30 connected to the hot air assembly 20, so as to achieve a better cooking effect when the air fryer 100 cooks the ingredients.

[0076] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
