Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, in particular to an air fryer. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, in order to improve the heating capacity of the air fryer, a supplementary heating mechanism can be provided on the outside of the inner pot in conjunction with the hot air mechanism.

[0003] However, in the actual cooking process, the sizes of ingredients and their corresponding heating requirements are different, resulting in differences in the required heating positions of the ingredients. As a result, the air fryer has technical defects such as a single heating mode, inability to meet the heating needs of a variety of ingredients, and poor food quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] Therefore, the utility model proposes an air fryer.

[0007] In the air fryer defined in the utility model, the air fryer includes: a main body, including a cooking cavity; an inner pot, arranged in the cooking cavity; a heating element, arranged in the main body, the heating element at least partially located around the inner pot, the heating element is used to heat the cooking cavity; a supporting member, arranged in the inner pot, the supporting member is used to support food; wherein the supporting member can move along the height direction of the inner pot.

[0008] The present application defines an air fryer, which can quickly heat the outer surface of food through high-temperature airflow to obtain finished food with golden color and crispy taste.

[0009] Specifically, the air fryer includes a body, an inner pot, a heating element and a supporting element. The body is the main frame structure of the air fryer, and the body is used to position, protect and support other working structures on the air fryer, wherein a cooking cavity is formed in the body, and the inner pot is placed in the cooking cavity. The supporting element is installed in the inner pot, and the food is placed on the supporting element, so that the food is positioned at a designated position in the inner pot with the help of the supporting element.

[0010] The heating element is arranged on the main body, and the heating element is at least partially arranged on the surrounding side of the inner pot. After being powered on, the heating element can emit heat into the cooking cavity. This part of the heat can eventually act on the food placed on the supporting member to heat the food and make up for the lack of high-temperature airflow. Specifically, the high-temperature airflow flows from the opening of the inner pot from top to bottom, and its flow direction causes the high-temperature airflow to act on the upper surface of the food, while the high-temperature airflow has a poor heating effect on the side of the food. In this regard, by arranging heating elements around the inner pot, the heat generated by the heating elements can heat the side of the food to make up for the heating gap on the side of the food, thereby improving the quality of the food. Among them, the heating element can centrally heat the side wall of the inner pot, and the high-temperature side wall can bake the side of the food.

[0011] On this basis, the supporting member is movably arranged in the inner pot, and specifically the supporting member can move along the height direction of the inner pot to adjust the height of the supporting member in the inner pot, so that the supporting member can adjust the height according to the heating demand of the food placed thereon, so that the relative position of the food and the heating element meets the heating demand of the food. For example, the height of the supporting member can be adjusted so that the food and the heating element are relative in the radial direction of the inner pot, so that the heat can be concentrated on the side of the food, avoiding the height misalignment between the food and the heating element affecting the heating effect. Alternatively, during the heating process, the supporting member can be controlled to rise and fall frequently to intermittently heat the food, or to cyclically heat the different heights of the side of the food.

[0012] It can be seen that by setting a height-adjustable support member, the air fryer can achieve different supplementary heating modes by adjusting the height of the support member, thereby matching different food heating requirements through a variety of different supplementary heating modes. This overcomes the technical defects of the related art, such as a single supplementary heating mode, the inability to meet the supplementary heating requirements of a variety of ingredients, and poor food quality. This achieves the technical effects of optimizing the structure of the air fryer, improving the heating effect of the air fryer, and improving the quality of the cooked food.

[0013] Specifically, the support is provided with through holes, which can allow high-temperature airflow to pass through the through holes and act on the lower surface of the food, thereby reducing the heating difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the food and improving the quality of the food. On the other hand, the moisture and fat released by the food during the heating process can be discharged to the outside of the support through the through holes, thereby preventing the liquid and fat from soaking the food and ensuring that the food has a crispy taste.

[0014] Specifically, the supporting parts include: trays, grills, frying cages, etc.

[0015] In addition, the air fryer provided by the utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0016] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the air fryer also includes: a first lifting mechanism, connecting the inner pot and the supporting member, and the first lifting mechanism is used to drive the supporting member to rise and fall in the inner pot.

[0017] In this technical solution, the air fryer further includes a first lifting mechanism, which is fixed on the inner pot and connected to the supporting member. The first lifting mechanism can drive the supporting member to move along the height direction of the inner pot, thereby realizing the lifting function of the supporting member, and then executing a variety of different heating modes through the lifting action.

[0018] Specifically, the first lifting mechanism can realize the lifting function through a sliding connection structure, for example, through a guide rail or a slide groove, the first lifting mechanism can also realize the lifting function through a lead screw and a slider, and the first lifting mechanism can also realize the lifting function through a telescopic cylinder. In this regard, the technical solution does not impose a rigid restriction on the specific structural form of the first lifting mechanism, and it is sufficient to meet the lifting requirements.

[0019] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the first lifting mechanism includes: a guide component connected to the inner pot, the guide component including a guide groove, and the guide groove extends along the height direction of the inner pot; a sliding component, one end of the sliding component is connected to the supporting member, and the other end of the sliding component is slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0020] In this technical solution, the first lifting mechanism includes a guide component and a sliding component. The guide component is fixed on the inner pot, and at least part of the guide component is located in the inner pot. Specifically, the guide component is in the form of a sheet, the sheet-shaped guide component fits the side wall of the inner pot, and the sheet-shaped guide component extends along the height direction of the inner pot. On this basis, a guide groove is provided on the guide component, and the guide groove also extends along the height direction of the inner pot. The sliding component is fixed on the supporting member, and the sliding component is slidably connected to the guide groove, so that the supporting member can slide along the guide groove along with the sliding component, thereby realizing the lifting function of the supporting member. Specifically, a convex shaft is provided on the sliding component, and the convex shaft is inserted into the guide groove. During the lifting and lowering process of the supporting member, the convex shaft slides along the guide groove.

[0021] By providing the above-mentioned guide components and sliding components, the lifting trajectory of the supporting component can be limited, thereby improving the lifting accuracy of the supporting component and reducing the probability of the supporting component being misplaced or even stuck in the inner pot. This can further achieve the technical effect of improving the lifting stability and reliability of the supporting component and reducing the failure rate of the air fryer.

[0022] In some technical solutions of the present utility model, optionally, the first lifting mechanism further includes: a driving component, which is arranged on the guide component and connected to the sliding component, and the driving component is used to drive the sliding component to slide along the guide groove.

[0023] In this technical solution, the first lifting mechanism further comprises a driving component, which is connected to the guide component and the sliding component. After being powered on, the driving component can drive the sliding component to slide along the guide groove to automatically adjust the height of the supporting member.

[0024] By setting a driving component, the automatic lifting of the supporting part can be realized, which can eliminate manual operation and improve the practicality of the air fryer. On the other hand, the height of the supporting part can be adjusted by the first lifting mechanism so that the supporting part can be accurately suspended at a specified height. Thus, the technical effect of optimizing the structure of the air fryer and improving the automation and intelligence of the air fryer is achieved.

[0026] In this technical solution, a mounting position is further provided on the outer side of the inner pot, and the air fryer further comprises a handle, which is detachably provided on the mounting position, wherein a slot is provided on the handle.

[0027] On this basis, the guide component includes a first section and a second section. The first section is located in the inner pot and fits against the side wall of the inner pot. One end of the second section is connected to the first section, and the other end of the second section extends outward toward the surrounding side of the inner pot.

[0028] During the assembly process, the second section is first placed against the edge of the inner pot, and then the slot on the handle is aligned with the second section extending outward, and finally the handle is connected to the inner pot, and the slot is simultaneously placed on the second section to complete the assembly. During the disassembly process, the handle is first removed from the inner pot, and then the supporting member and the first lifting mechanism can be taken out of the inner pot.

[0029] It can be seen that by providing a detachable handle and opening a slot on the handle, the first lifting mechanism can be locked and unlocked with the help of the handle. On the one hand, the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the supporting member and the first lifting mechanism can be reduced. On the other hand, the positioning reliability of the supporting member and the first lifting mechanism can be improved, and the possibility of loosening and misalignment of the supporting member and the first lifting mechanism can be reduced.

[0030] Specifically, the first section and the second section can be formed by bending a metal sheet, wherein a groove can be formed by bending multiple sections, and the groove is buckled on the edge of the inner pot to improve the stability of the second section resting on the inner pot.

[0031] Specifically, a boss can be further provided on the outer side of the inner pot, and the second section rests on the boss. During installation of the handle, the second section and the boss are inserted into the slot together to simultaneously install the handle and lock the first lifting mechanism.

[0032] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the air fryer also includes: a transmission mechanism, connecting the supporting member and the heating member, and the transmission mechanism can drive the heating member and the supporting member to rise and fall synchronously.

[0033] In the technical solution, the air fryer further comprises a transmission mechanism, one end of which is connected to the supporting member, and the other end of which is connected to the heating element. When the first lifting mechanism drives the supporting member to rise and fall, the transmission mechanism drives the heating element to rise and fall synchronously with the supporting member.

[0034] By providing a transmission mechanism, the heating element can move up and down together with the supporting element, so that the heating element is always located around the supporting element during the up and down movement of the supporting element, thereby improving the baking uniformity of the heating element.

[0035] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the air fryer also includes: a second lifting mechanism, connecting the main body and the heating element, and the second lifting mechanism is used to drive the heating element to rise and fall on the main body.

[0036] In this technical solution, the air fryer also includes a second lifting mechanism, which connects the main body and the heating element, and is used to drive the heating element to rise and fall on the main body to adjust the height of the heating element.

[0037] By providing the second lifting mechanism, the heating element is provided with a lifting function, thereby cooperating with the supporting element with the lifting function to realize a variety of different heating supplement modes.

[0038] Specifically, the air fryer also includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is arranged in the inner pot, and the sensor is used to sense the height information of the supporting member. The controller is connected to the second lifting mechanism and the sensor. The controller can control the second lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the heating member according to the height information obtained by the sensor, so that the heating member is always around the supporting member during the up and down movement of the supporting member, thereby improving the baking uniformity of the heating member.

[0039] In some technical solutions of the present invention, optionally, the main body includes: a pot body, in which the cooking cavity is located; and a cover body, which is connected to the pot body and is used to cover the cooking cavity.

[0040] In this technical solution, the main body includes a pot body and a cover body. A cooking cavity is formed inside the pot body, and the inner pot is embedded in the pot body. The inner pot is detachable, which can provide convenient conditions for users to store and access food on the one hand, and convenient conditions for cleaning the inner pot on the other hand.

[0041] The cover is connected to the pot body, and the cover includes a closed position and an open position. When the cover is in the closed position, the cover covers the cooking cavity to form a closed cooking environment in the inner pot to reduce heat loss. When the cover is in the open position, the opening of the inner pot is opened for storing and taking out food.

[0042] Specifically, the cover is hinged to the pot body and can be switched between an open position and a closed position by a flipping action.

[0043] In some technical solutions of the utility model, optionally, the air fryer also includes: a hot air component, which is arranged on the cover body, and the hot air component is used to blow high-temperature airflow into the inner pot.

[0044] In the technical solution, the air fryer further comprises a hot air component, which is arranged on the cover body and is located on the side of the cover body facing the pot body. After the hot air component is turned on, the hot air component can blow high-temperature air into the inner pot, thereby quickly heating the outer surface of the food through the high-temperature air flow to obtain a finished food with a golden color and a crispy taste.

[0045] Specifically, the hot air assembly includes a fan, a reflective cover and an electric heating pipe. The fan is fixed on the cover. When the fan is turned on, an airflow blowing toward the inner pot is generated. The reflective cover is fixed on the side of the cover facing the inner pot. The electric heating pipe is arranged between the reflective cover and the inner pot. After power is turned on, the electric heating pipe can heat the airflow blown by the fan to obtain a high-temperature airflow. The reflective cover can reflect part of the heat radiation transmitted upward to enhance the heating effect of the airflow and reduce heat loss.

[0056] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] Refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 An air fryer according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an air fryer 100, which includes: a body 110, including a cooking cavity 1102; an inner pot 120, which is arranged in the cooking cavity 1102; a heating element 130, which is arranged in the body 110, and the heating element 130 is at least partially located on the periphery of the inner pot 120, and the heating element 130 is used to heat the cooking cavity 1102; a supporting member 140, which is arranged in the inner pot 120, and the supporting member 140 is used to support food; wherein the supporting member 140 can be arranged along the height direction ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the figure, arrow a shows the movement of the inner pot in the height direction.

[0059] The present application defines an air fryer 100, which can quickly heat the outer surface of food through high-temperature airflow to obtain finished food with golden color and crispy taste.

[0060] Specifically, the air fryer 100 includes a body 110, an inner pot 120, a heating element 130, and a supporting element 140. The body 110 is the main frame structure of the air fryer 100, and the body 110 is used to position, protect, and support other working structures on the air fryer 100, wherein a cooking cavity 1102 is formed in the body 110, and the inner pot 120 is placed in the cooking cavity 1102. The supporting element 140 is installed in the inner pot 120, and food is placed on the supporting element 140, so that the food is positioned at a designated position in the inner pot 120 with the help of the supporting element 140.

[0061] The heating element 130 is arranged on the body 110, and the heating element 130 is at least partially arranged on the surrounding side of the inner pot 120. After power is turned on, the heating element 130 can emit heat into the cooking cavity 1102. This part of the heat can eventually act on the food placed on the supporting member 140 to heat the food and make up for the lack of high-temperature airflow. Specifically, the high-temperature airflow flows from the opening of the inner pot 120 from top to bottom, and its flow direction causes the high-temperature airflow to act on the upper surface of the food, while the high-temperature airflow has a poor heating effect on the side of the food. In this regard, by arranging the heating element 130 around the inner pot 120, the heat generated by the heating element 130 can heat the side of the food to make up for the heating gap on the side of the food, thereby improving the quality of the food. Among them, the heating element 130 can heat the side wall of the inner pot 120 in a concentrated manner, and the high-temperature side wall can bake the side of the food.

[0062] On this basis, the supporting member 140 is movably arranged in the inner pot 120. Specifically, the supporting member 140 can move along the height direction of the inner pot 120 to adjust the height of the supporting member 140 in the inner pot 120, so that the supporting member 140 can adjust the height according to the heating demand of the food placed thereon, so that the relative position of the food and the heating element 130 meets the heating demand of the food. For example, the height of the supporting member 140 can be adjusted so that the food and the heating element 130 are opposite in the radial direction of the inner pot 120, so that the heat can be concentrated on the side of the food, avoiding the height misalignment between the food and the heating element 130 affecting the heating effect. Alternatively, during the heating process, the supporting member 140 can be controlled to rise and fall frequently to intermittently heat the food, or to cyclically heat the different heights of the side of the food.

[0063] It can be seen that by providing a height-adjustable support member 140, the air fryer 100 can achieve different supplementary heating modes by adjusting the height of the support member 140, thereby matching different food heating requirements through a variety of different supplementary heating modes. This overcomes the technical defects of the related art, such as a single supplementary heating mode, inability to meet the supplementary heating requirements of a variety of ingredients, and poor food quality. This achieves the technical effects of optimizing the structure of the air fryer 100, improving the heating effect of the air fryer 100, and improving the quality of the cooked food.

[0064] Specifically, the support member 140 is provided with through holes, which can allow high-temperature airflow to pass through the through holes and act on the lower surface of the food, thereby reducing the heating difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the food and improving the quality of the food. On the other hand, the moisture and fat released by the food during the heating process can be discharged to the outside of the support member 140 through the through holes, thereby preventing the liquid and fat from soaking the food and ensuring that the food has a crispy taste.

[0065] Specifically, the supporting member 140 includes: a tray, a grill, a frying cage, etc.

[0067] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 further includes a first lifting mechanism 150, which is fixed on the inner pot 120 and connected to the supporting member 140. The first lifting mechanism 150 can drive the supporting member 140 to move along the height direction of the inner pot 120, thereby realizing the lifting function of the supporting member 140, and then executing a variety of different supplementary heating modes through the lifting action.

[0068] Specifically, the first lifting mechanism 150 can realize the lifting function through a sliding connection structure, for example, through a guide rail or a slide groove, the first lifting mechanism 150 can also realize the lifting function through a lead screw and a slider, and the first lifting mechanism 150 can also realize the lifting function through a telescopic cylinder. In this regard, this embodiment does not impose a rigid restriction on the specific structural form of the first lifting mechanism 150, and it only needs to meet the lifting requirements.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, optionally, the first lifting mechanism 150 includes: a guide component 152, which is connected to the inner pot 120, and the guide component 152 includes a guide groove 1522, and the guide groove 1522 extends along the height direction of the inner pot 120; a sliding component 154, one end of the sliding component 154 is connected to the supporting member 140, and the other end of the sliding component 154 is slidably connected to the guide groove 1522.

Specifically, the guide member 152 is in the form of a sheet, the sheet-shaped guide member 152 is attached to the side wall of the inner pot 120, and the sheet-shaped guide member 152 extends along the height direction of the inner pot 120. On this basis, a guide groove 1522 is provided on the guide member 152, and the guide groove 1522 also extends along the height direction of the inner pot 120. The sliding member 154 is fixed to the supporting member 140, and the sliding member 154 is slidably connected to the guide groove 1522, so that the supporting member 140 can slide along the guide groove 1522 along with the sliding member 154, thereby realizing the lifting function of the supporting member 140. Specifically, a convex shaft is provided on the sliding component 154 , and the convex shaft is inserted into the guide groove 1522 . When the supporting member 140 is lifted or lowered, the convex shaft slides along the guide groove 1522 .

[0071] By providing the guide member 152 and the sliding member 154, the lifting trajectory of the supporting member 140 can be limited, thereby improving the lifting accuracy of the supporting member 140 and reducing the probability of the supporting member 140 being misplaced or even stuck in the inner pot 120. This can improve the lifting stability and reliability of the supporting member 140 and reduce the failure rate of the air fryer 100.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the first lifting mechanism 150 further includes: a driving component, which is disposed on the guide component 152 and connected to the sliding component 154 , and the driving component is used to drive the sliding component 154 to slide along the guide groove 1522 .

[0073] In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 150 further includes a driving component, which connects the guide component 152 and the sliding component 154. After being powered on, the driving component can drive the sliding component 154 to slide along the guide groove 1522 to automatically adjust the height of the supporting member 140.

[0074] By providing a driving component, the support member 140 can be automatically lifted and lowered, which can eliminate manual operation and improve the practicality of the air fryer 100. On the other hand, the height of the support member 140 can be adjusted by the first lifting mechanism 150, so that the support member 140 can be accurately suspended at a specified height. This can optimize the structure of the air fryer 100 and improve the degree of automation and intelligence of the air fryer 100.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer 100 also includes: a handle 122, which is detachably connected to the inner pot 120, and the handle 122 includes a slot 1222; the guide component 152 includes a first section 1524 and a second section 1526, the first section 1524 is located in the inner pot 120, the guide groove 1522 is provided in the first section 1524, the second section 1526 is connected to the first section 1524, the second section 1526 extends toward the peripheral side of the inner pot 120, and the second section 1526 is inserted into the slot 1222.

[0076] In this embodiment, a mounting position is further provided on the outer side of the inner pot 120 , and the air fryer 100 further includes a handle 122 , which is detachably provided on the mounting position, wherein a slot 1222 is provided on the handle 122 .

[0077] On this basis, the guide component 152 includes a first section 1524 and a second section 1526. The first section 1524 is located in the inner pot 120, and the first section 1524 is in contact with the side wall of the inner pot 120. One end of the second section 1526 is connected to the first section 1524, and the other end of the second section 1526 extends outward toward the peripheral side of the inner pot 120.

[0078] During the assembly process, the second section 1526 is first placed against the edge of the inner pot 120, and then the slot 1222 on the handle 122 is aligned with the protruding second section 1526, and finally the handle 122 is connected to the inner pot 120, and the slot 1222 is simultaneously sleeved on the second section 1526 to complete the assembly. During the disassembly process, the handle 122 is first removed from the inner pot 120, and then the supporting member 140 and the first lifting mechanism 150 can be taken out of the inner pot 120.

[0079] It can be seen that by providing a detachable handle 122 and opening a slot 1222 on the handle 122, the first lifting mechanism 150 can be locked and unlocked with the help of the handle 122. On the one hand, the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the supporting member 140 and the first lifting mechanism 150 can be reduced. On the other hand, the positioning reliability of the supporting member 140 and the first lifting mechanism 150 can be improved, and the possibility of loosening and misalignment of the supporting member 140 and the first lifting mechanism 150 can be reduced.
