DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides an air fryer 100, which is an appliance that can use heat to cook food. Specifically, when the air fryer 100 is working, it can generate hot air through the heating tube in the pot body, and then use the fan to circulate the hot air in the pot body, so as to dehydrate the food in the pot body to achieve the effect of baking the food.
[0027] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 may include an inner pot 20 and a pot assembly 30, wherein the inner pot 20 is provided with a receiving cavity 201, the receiving cavity 201 is used to place the food to be cooked, and the inner pot 20 can also be used to spray the food placed therein with the sprayed substance. The pot assembly 30 is detachably connected to the inner pot 20, and the pot assembly 30 is used to generate heat for heating the food placed in the inner pot 20. Specifically, the pot assembly 30 may include a shell 320 and a heating unit (not shown in the figure), wherein the heating unit is arranged in the shell 320 and arranged toward the receiving cavity 201, and the shell 320 may play a protective role for the heating unit. The heating unit may include a heating tube (not shown in the figure) and a fan (not shown in the figure), the heating tube is used to heat the air in the pot assembly 30, and the fan is arranged on the side of the heating tube facing the receiving cavity 201, so that the hot air forms a circulation in the receiving cavity 201 to heat the food in the receiving cavity 201.
[0028] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner pot 20 may include an inner pot body 210 and a handle module 230, wherein the inner pot body 210 is provided with a receiving cavity 201, and the handle module 230 is connected to the inner pot body 210, and the handle module 230 is suitable for serving as a handle of the inner pot 20, so that the user can take the inner pot 20 out of the pot body assembly 30 or connect the inner pot 20 to the pot body assembly 30 by holding the handle module 230. In addition, the handle module 230 in this embodiment can also spray the object to be sprayed into the receiving cavity 201, so that during the cooking process of the air fryer 100, the user can add the object to be sprayed to the food in the inner pot 20 by operating the handle module 230. Specifically, the air fryer 100 may be a pull-out air fryer, the inner pot 20 may be used as a frying basket in the pull-out air fryer, and the handle module 230 may be used as a handle of the frying basket.
[0029] In this embodiment, the inner pot body 210 may include a container 2120, a connector 2140 and a decorative member 2160. The container 2120 is provided with a housing cavity 201, and the connector 2140 is connected to the side wall of the container 2120 and is suitable for connecting the handle module 230. In some possible embodiments, the connector 2140 may be an integrally formed structure with the housing of the handle module 230, so that the connection between the handle module 230 and the inner pot body 210 is more firm and reliable.
[0030] In some other possible embodiments, the handle module 230 is detachably connected to the connector 2140 so that the handle module 230 can be removed and used separately. For example, before or after the cooking work starts, when the inner pot 20 is taken out from the pot body assembly 30, the handle module 230 can be disassembled by the user and directly spray the object to be sprayed into the accommodating cavity 201, without using other spray bottles for the object to be sprayed, thereby improving the efficiency of adding the object to be sprayed. For another example, when the object to be sprayed of the handle module 230 is exhausted, the handle module 230 can be disassembled by the user and the object to be sprayed can be replenished into the handle module 230 separately, thereby improving the convenience of replenishing the object to be sprayed. Specifically, the handle module 230 can be provided with a buckle structure, and the handle module 230 can be detachably connected to the connector 2140 through the buckle structure. Of course, the handle module 230 can also be detachably connected to the connector 2140 through structures such as tenons and protrusions. The specific implementation of the handle module 230 will be described in detail later in the specification.
[0031] The decorative member 2160 is connected to the side of the connecting member 2140 facing the handle module 230, and is spaced apart from a part of the structure of the handle module 230 to jointly define a space for holding the handle module 230. Specifically, the decorative member 2160 is in the shape of a sheet shell, and when the inner pot 20 and the pot body assembly 30 are assembled and connected, the surface of the decorative member 2160 facing the handle module 230 and the outer surface of the pot body assembly 30 smoothly transition to jointly define the outer contour of the air fryer 100.
[0032] In some possible embodiments, the inner pot 20 may further include a carrier 240 , which is disposed in the accommodating cavity 201 and is used to place food to be cooked.
[0033] The object carrier 240 is suitable for being directly placed on the bottom wall of the container 2120, so that the user can more conveniently take out the cooked food from the accommodating cavity 201. Specifically, the object carrier 240 can be a baking tray. In some other embodiments, the object carrier 240 can also be the inner bottom wall of the container 2120.
[0034] See also Figures 3 to 5, the handle module 230 may include a housing component 250 and a spray component 270. Among them, the housing component 250 is provided with a spray chamber 2501 for placing the object to be sprayed. The "object to be sprayed" here refers to auxiliary supplies for cooking food in the air fryer 100. In some possible embodiments, the object to be sprayed may be a seasoning, such as barbecue sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. In other possible embodiments, the object to be sprayed may also be a liquid for adjusting the taste of food cooking, such as cooking oil, purified water, etc. For example, if the user wants to make the food taste crispier during the cooking process, cooking oil can be sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 to further increase the degree of frying of the food. For another example, if the user wants to make the food taste softer and more juicy during the cooking process, purified water can be sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 to increase the humidity of the accommodating chamber 201 to lock the moisture in the food. The spraying assembly 270 is disposed on the housing assembly 250 and connects the spraying chamber 2501 and the accommodating chamber 201 . The spraying assembly 270 is used to spray the object to be sprayed in the spraying chamber 2501 into the accommodating chamber 201 .
[0035] Therefore, the handle module 230 in this embodiment can not only be used as a handle for taking the inner pot 20, but also as a container for spraying the object to be sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201, so that during the cooking process of the air fryer 100, the user can add the object to be sprayed to the food in the inner pot 20 by operating the handle module 230. Specifically, the spraying assembly 270 in the handle module 230 connects the spraying chamber 2501 with the accommodating chamber 201, so that the user can spray the object to be sprayed in the spraying chamber 2501 into the accommodating chamber 201 without taking out the inner pot 20, so as to complete the work of adding the object to be sprayed, thereby avoiding the situation where the food heating environment is suddenly changed due to the removal of the inner pot 20, and ensuring the cooking taste of the food.
[0036] The specific structure of the handle module 230 is introduced below.
[0037] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 250 is suitable for being connected to the inner pot body 210, and plays a protective role for the spray assembly 270 and other structures. The housing assembly 250 may include a housing 2520 and a grip 2540, wherein the housing 2520 is connected between the inner pot body 210 and the grip 2540, and is provided with an installation cavity 2521, and the spray assembly 270 is arranged in the installation cavity 2521. The grip 2540 is generally bottle-shaped, and is provided with a spray cavity 2501. The grip 2540 is detachably connected to the housing 2520, so that when it is necessary to replenish the sprayable material, the grip 2540 can be directly removed from the housing assembly 250, and the sprayable material can be directly replenished into the spray cavity 2501, so as to improve the convenience of replenishing the sprayable material.
[0038] Specifically, the grip 2540 may be provided with a fixing portion 2542, the fixing portion 2542 being located on the side of the grip 2540 facing the housing 2520, the housing 2520 being provided with a matching portion 2522 adapted to the fixing portion 2542, and the fixing portion 2542 being detachably connected to the matching portion 2522. For example, the fixing portion 2542 may be a plug-in connector, and the matching portion 2522 may be a plug-in slot to be plugged and matched with the plug-in connector. For another example, the fixing portion 2542 and the matching portion 2522 may also be connected by other connection methods such as threaded connection. In addition, the grip 2540 is suitable as a gripping portion when the user takes out the inner pot 20, so when the cooking is completed, when the user holds the grip 2540 and takes the inner pot 20 out of the air fryer 100, the sprayed material in the grip 2540 can also play a heat insulation effect, avoiding burns to the user during use, thereby ensuring the user's experience.
[0039] In this embodiment, the housing 2520 may include a first housing portion 2523, a second housing portion 2524 and a cover plate 2525, which are sequentially connected to define a mounting cavity 2521. The first housing portion 2523 is generally block-shaped and is suitable for connecting to the connecting member 2140 of the inner pot body 210. Please refer to Figure 2 The connecting piece 2140 may be provided with a connecting groove 2141 adapted to the first shell part 2523, and the first shell part 2523 is embedded in the connecting groove 2141, so that the shell assembly 250 can be detachably connected to the inner pot body 210. In some other possible embodiments, the first shell part 2523 and the connecting piece 2140 may be an integrally formed structure, for example, by stamping or hot pressing with a polymer material (for example, plastic), so that the overall structure of the inner pot 20 is more solid and reliable.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first housing portion 2523 is further provided with a through hole 2503 communicating with the accommodating chamber 201, and the through hole 2503 is communicated with the spraying chamber 2501, so that the object to be sprayed in the spraying chamber 2501 is sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 through the through hole 2503 under the action of the spraying assembly 270. Specifically, when the first housing portion 2523 is connected to the connecting piece 2140 of the inner pot body 210, the distance between the through hole 2503 and the designated plane is greater than the distance between the opening of the accommodating chamber 201 and the designated plane, so that the object to be sprayed is smoothly sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 through the through hole 2503. Here, the "designated plane" refers to the placement plane of the air fryer 100 when the air fryer 100 is in a normal working state.
[0041] The second housing portion 2524 is generally block-shaped, connected to the side of the first housing portion 2523 away from the inner pot body 210, and is used to fix the grip 2540. Specifically, the second housing portion 2524 and the first housing portion 2523 are detachably connected to improve the assembly convenience of the housing 2520.
[0042] The cover plate 2525 is generally in the shape of a sheet, and is detachably connected to a side of the second housing portion 2524 that is away from the first housing portion 2523, so as to define the installation cavity 2521 together with the second housing portion 2524. Specifically, the cover plate 2525 is arranged opposite to the spray assembly 270, so that when the spray assembly 270 fails, the cover plate 2525 can be removed from the housing 2520, and the spray assembly 270 can be directly repaired or replaced, so as to improve the disassembly convenience of the handle module 230.
[0043] In this embodiment, the spray assembly 270 is disposed in the installation cavity 2521 of the housing assembly 250, and is used to spray the object to be sprayed in the spray cavity 2501 into the accommodating cavity 201. The spray assembly 270 may include a first guide 2720, a second guide 2740, and a spray unit 2760. The first guide 2720 is disposed in the installation cavity 2521, one end of the first guide 2720 is connected to the through hole 2503, and the other end of the first guide 2720 is connected to the second guide 2740, and the second guide 2740 is disposed in the spray cavity 2501. The spray unit 2760 is connected between the first guide 2720 and the second guide 2740, and is used to apply pressure to the spray cavity 2501, so that the object to be sprayed in the spray cavity 2501 is sprayed into the accommodating cavity 201 via the second guide 2740 and the first guide 2720 in sequence. Specifically, the first guide path 2720 and the second guide path 2740 may be conduits, respectively.
[0044] In some possible embodiments, the spray assembly 270 may include a nozzle 280, which is embedded in the through hole 2503, and the nozzle 280 (not shown in the figure) is arranged toward the accommodating chamber 201. The nozzle 280 is used to atomize the sprayed material sprayed from the through hole 2503, so that the sprayed material is sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 in the form of water mist, so that the sprayed material can be more evenly covered on the surface of the food, ensuring the cooking taste of the food. Specifically, the nozzle 280 can be arranged toward the central area of the object carrier 240. Since the user usually places the food to be cooked in the middle of the baking tray during cooking, the sprayed material sprayed from the nozzle 280 can be more efficiently covered on the surface of the food to ensure the cooking taste of the food.
[0045] In some possible embodiments, the spraying unit 2760 may include a first button 2761 and a pressurizing member 2763, which are sequentially arranged between the first guide 2720 and the second guide 2740. The first button 2761 is generally block-shaped, and is movably arranged in the mounting cavity 2521 and connected to the first guide 2720. At least a portion of the first button 2761 is exposed relative to the housing assembly 250, so that the user can spray the object to be sprayed by pressing the first button 2761.
[0046] The pressurizing member 2763 is connected between the first button 2761 and the second guide 2740. The pressurizing member 2763 is used to apply pressure to the spraying chamber 2501 when the first button 2761 is pressed, so that the pressure in the spraying chamber 2501 is greater than the external pressure to form a pressure difference, forcing the sprayed material in the spraying chamber 2501 to be sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201 through the second guide 2740 and the first guide 2720 in sequence under the influence of the pressure difference. Specifically, the pressurizing member 2763 can be a piston.
[0047] In some possible embodiments, the housing assembly 250 is detachably connected to the inner pot body 210 so that the handle module 230 can be separated from the inner pot body 210. Therefore, before or after the cooking work starts, when the inner pot 20 is taken out from the pot body assembly 30, the handle module 230 can be disassembled by the user to directly spray the sprayed material into the accommodating cavity 201 without using other spray bottles for the sprayed material, thereby improving the efficiency of adding the sprayed material. Specifically, the handle module 230 can be detachably connected to the connector 2140 of the inner pot body 210 through a buckle structure, a tenon structure, a protruding groove, or the like.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The handle module 230 may further include a locking assembly 290, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 2521 of the housing assembly 250, at least a portion of which is exposed relative to the housing assembly 250 and movably matched with the inner pot body 210, so that the handle module 230 is detachably connected to the inner pot body 210. In addition, when the handle module 230 is detachably connected to the inner pot body 210, the locking assembly 290 is also used to lock the handle module 230 and the inner pot body 210, so that the fixation of the handle module 230 is more firm and reliable.
[0049] In this embodiment, the lock assembly 290 may include a lock 2920 and a second button 2940, the second button 2940 is generally block-shaped, movably disposed in the housing assembly 250, and is in transmission connection with the lock 2920. At least a portion of the second button 2940 is exposed relative to the housing assembly 250, so that the user can press the second button 2940 to disengage the lock 2920 from the inner pot body 210, thereby removing the handle module 230 from the inner pot 20.
[0050] In some possible embodiments, a limiting portion 2941 may be provided on the second button 2940, and the limiting portion 2941 protrudes relative to the surface of the second button 2940. A limiting groove 2504 is provided on the side of the housing assembly 250 facing the lock 2920, and the limiting portion 2941 can be movably embedded in the limiting groove 2504, so that the second button 2940 moves along a specified direction under the guidance of the limiting groove 2504, so that the movement process of the second button 2940 is smoother. The "specified direction" here is the pressing direction of the second button 2940, which can be roughly perpendicular to the upper surface of the housing assembly 250. In addition, the limiting portion 2941 can also abut against the inner wall of the housing assembly 250 to prevent the second button 2940 from detaching from the housing assembly 250, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the lock assembly 290.
[0051] The lock buckle 2920 is transmission-connected to the second button 2940 , and at least a portion of the lock buckle 2920 protrudes out of the exterior of the shell assembly 250 and can be movably clamped to the inner pot body 210 , so that the handle module 230 can be detachably connected to the inner pot body 210 .
[0052] In some possible embodiments, the lock 2920 may include a lock portion 2921 and a connecting portion 2923. The lock portion 2921 is generally in the shape of a long strip, and one end of the lock portion 2921 is connected to the connecting portion 2923. For example, the lock portion 2921 and the connecting portion 2923 may be an integrally formed structure. The other end of the lock portion 2921 may be movably clamped with the inner pot body 210. Specifically, the other end of the lock portion 2921 may be provided with a protrusion 2925, which is generally in the shape of a barb and protrudes relative to the surface of the lock portion 2921. The connecting piece 2140 of the inner pot body 210 may be provided with a groove or a hook (not shown in the figure) adapted to the protrusion 2925. When the handle module 230 is connected to the inner pot body 210, the protrusion 2925 may be embedded in the groove or clamped with the hook to lock the handle module 230 and the inner pot body 210.
[0053] The connecting portion 2923 is generally in the shape of a long strip, which is movably disposed in the housing assembly 250 and connected to the locking portion 2921. The extending direction of the connecting portion 2923 intersects with the extending direction of the locking portion 2921. The connecting portion 2923 also abuts against the second button 2940. The connecting portion 2923 can drive the locking portion 2921 to move under the pressing of the second button 2940, so that the locking portion 2921 is separated from the inner pot body 210. Therefore, when the user needs to disassemble the handle module 230, the locking portion 2920 can be unlocked by operating the second button 2940, and the handle module 230 can be easily disassembled from the inner pot 20.
[0054] In some possible embodiments, the lock 2920 may further include a guide portion 2926, which is connected to the connection portion 2923 and movably disposed in the housing assembly 250. For example, the guide portion 2926 is rotatably disposed in the housing assembly 250, so that the connection portion 2923 can drive the lock portion 2921 to rotate toward a side away from the groove under the pressing of the second button 2940, so that the protrusion 2925 of the lock portion 2921 is separated from the groove or no longer locked with the hook.
[0055] In some possible embodiments, the lock assembly 290 may further include an elastic return member 2960, which is disposed between the second button 2940 and the housing assembly 250. The elastic return member 2960 applies an elastic force between the second button 2940 and the housing assembly 250 to provide a restoring force for the movement of the second button 2940 relative to the housing assembly 250. Therefore, when the user no longer presses the second button 2940, the second button 2940 can be restored to the position before being pressed under the action of the elastic return member 2960 to ensure that the lock assembly 290 can work smoothly subsequently. Specifically, the elastic return member 2960 can be a spring, one end of which can abut against the inner wall of the housing assembly 250, and the other end of the spring can be sleeved on a part of the structure of the second button 2940 to make the installation of the spring more reliable.
[0056] In some possible embodiments, the connection portion 2923 may also be provided with a positioning hole 2927. The elastic reset member 2960 penetrates the positioning hole 2927 and abuts between the housing assembly 250 and the second button 2940. On the one hand, the positioning hole 2927 can limit the installation position of the elastic reset member 2960 to prevent the elastic reset member 2960 from shifting. On the other hand, the elastic reset member 2960 penetrates the positioning hole 2927 and abuts against the second button 2940, which can make the overall structure of the lock assembly 290 more compact and reasonable, thereby saving the installation space of the handle module 230.
[0057] The embodiment of the present application provides an air fryer 100, which includes a pot body assembly 30 and an inner pot 20 suitable for being arranged in the pot body assembly 30, and the inner pot 20 includes a handle module 230 and an inner pot body 210 provided with a receiving cavity 201, and the handle module 230 is suitable for being used as a handle of the inner pot 20. Among them, the handle module 230 may include a shell assembly 250 and a spray assembly 270. Among them, the shell assembly 250 is connected to the inner pot body 210, and is provided with a spray cavity 2501 for placing a spray object to be sprayed. The spray assembly 270 is arranged in the shell assembly 250, and is connected to the spray cavity 2501 and the receiving cavity 201, and the spray assembly 270 is used to spray the spray object to be sprayed in the spray cavity 2501 into the receiving cavity 201.
[0058] Therefore, the handle module 230 in this embodiment can not only be used as a handle for taking the inner pot 20, but also as a container for spraying the object to be sprayed into the accommodating chamber 201, so that during the cooking process of the air fryer 100, the user can add the object to be sprayed to the food in the inner pot 20 by operating the handle module 230. Specifically, the spraying assembly 270 in the handle module 230 connects the spraying chamber 2501 with the accommodating chamber 201, so that the user can spray the object to be sprayed in the spraying chamber 2501 into the accommodating chamber 201 without taking out the inner pot 20, so as to complete the work of adding the object to be sprayed, thereby avoiding the situation where the food heating environment is suddenly changed due to the removal of the inner pot 20, and ensuring the cooking taste of the food.
