Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, in particular to a silicone water pipe and a steam air fryer. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer is a new type of household appliance that uses high-speed, high-temperature air circulation technology to fry food. The food it makes can reduce 80% of the fat compared to traditional electric fryers. It is easy to clean in daily use, safe and economical, and is very popular. Existing air fryers generally include a body, a cooking cavity is formed in the body, a hot air component is provided in the body that can send high-temperature air into the cooking cavity, a pot body for holding food is provided in the cooking cavity, and the high-temperature hot air generated by the hot air component when it is working is used to heat the ingredients in the pot body. The hot air is fully in contact with the food, and the surface of the food is used to quickly lose moisture, or the fat generated by the food itself is added to make the surface of the food crispy and present the effect of being fried.

[0003] However, baking food in an air fryer can cause the food to be over-dried or even burnt. To solve this problem, a lower heating temperature is generally set during actual use, but this will result in longer baking time and under-baking. At present, some people provide water vapor during the baking process to reduce the phenomenon of over-drying or even burning in the baking process. For example, the Chinese patent "Steam Generation System for Air Fryer" with patent application number CN202221103906.2 transports water in the water tank to the steam generator through the water inlet pipe. The steam generator heats the water to generate steam, which is directly sprayed into the pot body through the nozzle to steam the food in the pot body.

[0004] Existing water pipes are generally made of silicone. When used in air fryers, they need to be partially bent for reasons such as giving way. If a straight pipe is used directly, the bend will be flattened and affect the water circulation. Therefore, bent pipes are usually used in the prior art. However, the bent pipes require a silicone mold to pull the core at both ends during the processing process. The mold structure is complex, and flash is easy to occur between the contact surfaces of the core blocks of the core pull. Utility Model Content

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a silicone water pipe capable of preventing the bending parts from being flattened in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a steam air fryer using the above-mentioned silicone water pipe.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a silicone water hose, including a tube body made of flexible material, characterized in that: a spring is provided inside the tube body, and the spring can bend synchronously when the tube body is bent, so as to support the bent part of the tube body.

[0008] In order to prevent the spring from easily detaching from the tube body, the spring is screwed into the tube body and acts on the inner peripheral wall of the tube body to make the inner peripheral wall concave to form a spiral groove that matches the spring.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above second technical problem is: a steam air fryer, characterized in that it includes the above silicone water pipe.

[0010] In order to generate steam, a water tank and a steam generator are also included. The first end of the tube body is connected to the water outlet end of the water tank, and the second end of the tube body is connected to the water inlet end of the steam generator.

[0011] In order to ensure the connection between the first end of the tube body and the water outlet end of the water tank, the bottom of the water tank is provided with a water outlet joint, and the water outlet joint is clamped at the port of the first end of the tube body.

[0012] In order to make room for other components, the water outlet joint extends obliquely from top to bottom, and the bending portion of the tube body is close to the first end of the tube body.

[0013] In order to firmly fix the first end of the silicone water pipe at the water outlet joint, the first end of the spring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the water outlet joint.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that a spring is arranged in a tube body made of a flexible material, and when the tube body is bent during use, the part of the spring corresponding to the bent portion of the tube body also bends accordingly, supporting the bent portion of the tube body, thereby preventing the bent portion of the tube body from being flattened and affecting the water circulation.

[0020] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the specification and claims of the present invention, terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", "side", "top", "bottom", etc., are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of the present invention, but these terms are used here only for the purpose of convenience of description and are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only used as explanations and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of the silicone water hose of the utility model is shown. The silicone water hose 2 includes a tube body 21 made of a flexible material and a spring 22 disposed in the tube body 21. The spring 22 is screwed into the tube body 21 and acts on the inner peripheral wall of the tube body 21 to make the inner peripheral wall concave to form a spiral groove that cooperates with the spring 22. The spring 22 can bend synchronously when the tube body 21 is bent, so as to support the bent portion of the tube body 21.

[0023] The utility model also provides a steam air fryer using the above-mentioned silicone water pipe. The steam air fryer includes a body with a cooking cavity, a pot body assembly capable of entering and exiting the cooking cavity, a hot air assembly capable of sending high-temperature air into the cooking cavity, and a steam generating system capable of supplying steam into the cooking cavity. The body, pot body assembly and hot air assembly are all conventionally designed and will not be described in detail herein.

[0024] In this embodiment, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the steam generating system includes a water tank 1, a silicone water pipe 2 and a steam generator 3.

[0025] Specifically, the water tank 1 is used to store water, and has a water outlet joint 11 at the bottom thereof which extends obliquely from top to bottom.

[0026] The silicone water pipe 2 is used to transport water. In this embodiment, the water outlet connector 11 is clamped at the port of the first end of the pipe body 21 for connection, and the first end of the spring 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water outlet connector 11, so that the first end of the silicone water pipe 2 can be firmly fixed at the water outlet connector 11.

[0027] The steam generator 3 is used to heat water and evaporate it into steam. The water inlet end of the steam generator 3 is connected to the second end of the tube body 21 .

[0028] Since the water outlet joint 11 extends obliquely from top to bottom, the tube body 21 will bend near its first end, and the portion of the spring 22 corresponding to the bent portion of the tube body 21 will also bend, supporting the bent portion of the tube body 21 to prevent the bent portion of the tube body 21 from being flattened and affecting the water circulation.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: during installation, first insert the spring 22 into the tube body 21 to form the silicone water tube 2, and then align the port of the first end of the tube body 21 with the water outlet joint 11 and insert it so that the first end of the spring 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water outlet joint 11, and at the same time, connect the second end of the tube body 21 to the water inlet end of the steam generator 3. Although the tube body 21 is bent at a position near its first end after installation, the part of the spring 22 corresponding to the bent part of the tube body 21 is also bent accordingly, supporting the bent part of the tube body 21, thereby preventing the bent part of the tube body 21 from being flattened and affecting the water circulation.
