Description

Technical Field

[0027] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification:

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an air outlet structure of an air fryer includes a hollow shell 1 and a sheet rib 2. The sheet rib 2 is installed on the hollow shell 1. The sheet rib 2 is located on the back side 17 of the hollow shell and protrudes outward. The hollow shell 1 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 11, an arc curve 12, a flange rib 18, and a mounting platform 19. The plurality of air outlets 11 are located on the left side 13, the right side 14 and the top side 15 of the hollow shell, and the plurality of air outlets 11 are evenly arranged. The air outlet 11 is in a strip shape. The back side 17 and the bottom side 16 of the hollow shell are both set as retaining walls. The sheet rib 2 is in an arc shape. The flange rib 18 surrounds the hollow shell 1, and separates the hollow shell 1 into two parts, front and back. The front part forms the mounting platform 19. The mounting platform 19 is located at the front end of the hollow shell 1, and the flange rib 18 is located on the mounting platform 19. The bottom of the mounting platform 19 is provided with a socket 191 and a mounting groove 192. The socket 191 is located in the middle of the mounting platform 19, and the mounting groove 192 is located on both sides of the mounting platform 19. Since the back surface 17 and the bottom surface 16 of the hollow shell are both set as retaining walls, when the utility model is in use, the back surface 17 of the hollow shell faces the wall. Since the back surface 17 is set as a retaining wall, it will not be blown directly to the wall. At the same time, the sheet rib 2 is set to increase the distance from the wall, effectively avoiding damage caused by high wall temperature.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, a limiting body 185 is provided at the bottom of the flange 18, and the limiting body 185 is located directly below the socket 191. The limiting body 185 includes a first limiting column 182 and a second limiting column 184, and a gap 183 is provided between the first limiting column 182 and the second limiting column 184. During installation, the column 41 of the air fryer housing 46 is inserted into the socket 19, and the first limiting column 182 and the second limiting column 184 limit the column 41 of the air fryer housing 46, so that the fixation is more secure and will not deviate left or right.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the flange rib 18 is provided with a plurality of convex strips 181 and an opening 186, wherein the opening 186 is located between two adjacent convex strips 181. During assembly, the plug 42 of the air fryer housing 46 is inserted into the opening 186, and the plurality of convex strips 181 greatly enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the air outlet structure, and greatly improve the stability of assembly.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the four corners 193 of the mounting platform are arranged in arc shape, and the mounting grooves 192 are located on both sides of the mounting platform 19. During assembly, the utility model is assembled on the motor frame 43 from top to bottom through the mounting grooves 192. Since the four corners 193 are arranged in arc shape, scratches on the motor frame 43 caused by sharp edges are avoided, and a guiding role can be played during the assembly process, facilitating the coordinated assembly of the utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the arc curve 12 is located at the edge of the right side surface of the top surface 15 and the edge of the right side surface of the bottom surface 16 of the hollow shell. The arc curve 12 is located on the top surface 15 and the bottom surface 16 of the hollow shell, and the arc curve 12 includes a straight segment 122 and a curved segment 121, and the curved segment 121 is connected to the straight segment 122 after bending from right to left. The arc surface formed between the two arc curves 12 forms an air guide surface, and the air guide surface is located on the back side 17 of the hollow shell, which is suitable for guiding the hot air in the air fryer to flow out. The setting of the arc curve 12 guides the hot air to be discharged to the left side, and the blade rib 2 is arc-shaped, which makes it very smooth and beautiful, will not hurt the user, and is safer to use. At the same time, holding the blade rib 2 is convenient for installing or disassembling the air outlet structure.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, an air fryer includes a casing 46 and a fan 45 arranged in the casing, the casing 46 is provided with air inlets 44 at the top and bottom respectively, the casing 46 is provided with an air outlet structure in the middle, and air is exhausted from the middle through the air outlet structure, the fan 45 rotates counterclockwise, and the air guide surface is located on the right side of the hollow shell 1.

[0034] When using, Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet structure is installed at the air outlet position of the air fryer.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the fan of the air fryer rotates counterclockwise, and the hot air first flows into the hollow shell 1. Since the arc surface 12 is located on the right side of the air outlet 11 on the left side 13, the hot air is guided to be discharged to the left side. Since the left side 13, the right side 14 and the top surface 15 of the hollow shell 1 are all provided with a plurality of air outlets 11, the hot air is also discharged from the left side, the right side and the top surface, and the hot air is thus dispersed to all sides, so the heat dissipation effect is greatly improved and it is more convenient to use. The back 17 and the bottom 16 of the hollow shell are both set as retaining walls to block the heat from diffusing to the back and the bottom, and prevent the heat from blowing to the outside of the body. The sheet ribs are installed in the middle of the back of the hollow shell. The sheet ribs are located on the back of the hollow shell and protrude outward, thereby reducing heat conduction, increasing the distance between the wall and other objects, and preventing heat from being transferred to the kitchen wall or other objects, which can prevent the wall temperature from being damaged by excessively high temperature or other objects from being deformed by heat.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 As shown, when it is necessary to dissipate heat, cold air can be introduced through the air inlet 44 through the fan of the air fryer, and then the cold air is circulated inside the main body of the air fryer, and then the hot air is discharged through the air outlet 11, so that the heat can be dissipated, preventing the bottom of the air fryer from overheating and causing burns to people's hands, thereby facilitating use.

[0038] It should be noted that the above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and there are many variations. In short, all variations that can be directly derived or associated with the content disclosed by ordinary technicians in this field should be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
