DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The specific implementation of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to fully understand the present invention, many details are described below, but for those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without these details.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , comprising an upper pot body 1, a lower pot body 2, an upper heating component 3 and a cooking container, wherein the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 cover each other or are separated from each other, thereby forming a cooking cavity with different cooking functions; the cooking container is installed in the cooking cavity for holding food; the upper heating component 3 is detachably arranged in the upper pot body 1 for heating the cooking cavity. Since the upper heating component 3 is designed to be modular and detachable as a whole, the upper heating component 3 can be directly removed from the upper pot body 1 when cleaning is required, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0030] Reference Figures 2 to 5 Specifically, the upper heating assembly 3 includes a fixed cover 31, a heating tube 32 and a heat-averaging fan 33; one side of the fixed cover 31 is detachably arranged on the upper pot body 1, and the other side of the fixed cover 31 is provided with a heating tube 32 and a heat-averaging fan 33; a connecting assembly (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the heating tube 32 is provided in the upper pot body 1, and a motor 11 and a transmission assembly for driving the heat-averaging fan 33 are provided. The heating tube 32 is used to heat the cooking cavity, and the heat-averaging fan 33 can improve the heat transfer efficiency and evenly transfer the heat of the heating tube 32 to all corners of the cooking cavity. The fixed cover 31 can play a role in supporting the heating tube 32 and the heat-averaging fan 33, making the installation and removal of the upper heating assembly 3 more convenient. Preferably, in this embodiment, the fixed cover 31 is designed as a reflective disk with a heat radiation reflective layer on the surface, and the reflective disk can reflect the heat of the heating tube 32 into the cooking cavity, thereby further improving the heating efficiency and ensuring that the cooking cavity is heated evenly.

[0031] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , more specifically, the connection assembly includes a socket and a power connector that cooperate with each other, the socket is arranged in the upper pot body 1, and the power connector is arranged at the end of the heating tube 32. The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 111 and a first transmission assembly and a second transmission assembly that can be separated or connected to each other; the heat-averaging fan 33 is arranged on the fixed cover 31 through the rotating shaft 111, the first transmission assembly is arranged on the output shaft of the motor 11, and the second transmission assembly is arranged on the rotating shaft 111. As a preferred solution, the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly in this embodiment are respectively a first clutch 112 and a second clutch 113 that cooperate with each other. Therefore, when the upper heating assembly 3 is installed in the upper pot body 1, the heating tube 32 can be quickly connected to the power supply through the mutual connection of the socket and the power connector, and the heat-averaging fan 33 can also be quickly connected to the motor 11 through the mutual engagement of the first clutch 112 and the second clutch 113, thereby realizing the rapid docking of the upper heating assembly 3 with the upper pot body 1, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In other embodiments, the first transmission component and the second transmission component may also adopt a push rod design or a magnetic design. For example, when the push rod design is adopted, the first transmission component and the second transmission component are respectively a first push rod and a second push rod that can abut against each other. When the motor 11 is working, the first push rod rotates with the output shaft of the motor, thereby driving the second push rod and the rotating shaft 111 to rotate, thereby driving the heat equalization fan 33 to rotate; when the magnetic design is adopted, the first transmission component and the second transmission component are respectively a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component that can be attracted to each other. One of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component is a magnet (or electromagnet), and the other is a metal that can be attracted by a magnet (or electromagnet), or the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are both magnets (or electromagnets) that can be attracted to each other. When working, the polarity of the first magnetic component changes through the rotation of the motor and is attracted to each other with the second magnetic component, thereby driving the heat equalization fan 33 to rotate.

[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The multifunctional air fryer also includes a protective cover 12 and a cooling fan 13; the protective cover 12 is arranged between the upper pot body 1 and the fixed cover 31; the cooling fan 13 is arranged between the upper pot body 1 and the protective cover 12, and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 11. The cooling fan 13 can blow away the heat of the motor 11 in time to prevent the motor 11 from being overheated and affecting the service life. In practical applications, the protective cover 12 can be designed to be detachable or non-detachable according to the cleaning requirements of the cooling fan 13. As a preferred solution: in this embodiment, the protective cover 12 is detachably arranged between the upper pot body 1 and the fixed cover 31. Due to the protection of the protective cover 12, the cooling fan 13 will not be exposed after the upper heating component 3 is disassembled, thereby preventing the blades from being exposed and deformed by force. At the same time, due to the obstruction of the protective cover 12, oil stains basically do not run into the cooling fan 13, so the cooling fan 13 basically does not need to be cleaned, but when it is occasionally necessary to clean or overhaul, it can also be achieved by removing the protective cover 12, so the design is more humane.

[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The upper pot body 1 has an installation cavity 10, and the motor 11 is installed in the installation cavity 10, and the output shaft of the motor 11 is provided with a cooling fan 13 and a first clutch 112. Such a design can realize the hidden installation of the motor 11, thereby preventing the motor 11 from entering with water during cleaning and other safety hazards. In order to prevent the heat of the motor 11 from accumulating in the installation cavity 10, the upper pot body 1 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes (not shown in the figure). At the same time, in order to facilitate the maintenance and overhaul of the motor 11, this embodiment is provided with an inspection window on the top of the upper pot body 1, and is equipped with an inspection cover 14 for closing the inspection window.

[0035] Reference Figures 2 to 4As a specific installation method, a knob 15 with a limiting boss is provided on both sides of the upper pot body 1, and the protective cover 12 and the fixed cover 31 are both provided with a strip-shaped notch 121 adapted to the knob 15. The knob 15 is rotated to align with the strip-shaped notch 121 to achieve unlocking, thereby removing the protective cover 12 and the fixed cover 31 from the limiting boss; the knob 15 is rotated to be misaligned with the strip-shaped notch 121 to achieve locking, thereby fixing the protective cover 12 and the fixed cover 31 on the limiting boss.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The multifunctional air fryer further comprises an oil separator 5, which is detachably disposed on the upper pot body 1 and is located below the upper heating assembly 3. The oil separator 5 can play the role of blocking oil stains, reducing the amount of oil stains on the upper heating assembly 3, thereby reducing the frequency and difficulty of cleaning the upper heating assembly 3. When cleaning is required, the oil separator 5 and the entire upper heating assembly 3 can be placed in a dishwasher for cleaning, thereby reducing the burden on people.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , a lower baking tray 21 with a lower heating component 211 at the bottom is detachably provided in the lower pot body 2; when the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 cover each other, the upper heating component 3 cooks the cooking cavity alone, or the upper heating component 3 and the lower heating component 211 cooperate with each other to cook the cooking cavity; when the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 are separated from each other, the lower heating component 211 cooks the cooking cavity alone. As a preferred solution, the lower heating component 211 also uses a heating tube. Specifically, when the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 cover each other, an air frying cavity with an air frying function can be formed between the two. At this time, the upper heating component 3 can be used alone to heat the air frying cavity, or the lower heating component 211 can be turned on at the same time to heat the air frying cavity; in addition, a cooking cavity with frying, steaming or other functions other than air frying can also be formed between the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2. At this time, the lower heating component 211 can be used alone to heat the cooking cavity, or the upper heating component 3 can be turned on at the same time to heat the cooking cavity. When the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 are separated from each other, the lower pot body 2 can also independently form a cooking cavity with frying, steaming or other functions other than air frying. At this time, the upper heating component 3 does not work, and the lower heating component 211 heats the cooking cavity alone. It can be seen that the air fryer provided in this embodiment can be combined to set different cooking functions according to the mutual covering or separation state of the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2, and the corresponding control program can be set according to different cooking functions, so as to realize the use of the upper heating component 3 and the lower heating component 211 separately or in combination, thereby realizing one machine with multiple uses and meeting the diverse needs of customers.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , the cooking container is a fryer basket 41 or an upper baking tray 42, the fryer basket 41 is placed above the lower baking tray 21, and the upper baking tray 42 is detachably arranged on the upper pot body 1 and is located below the upper heating component 3. Specifically, when the cooking cavity is used as an air frying cavity or as a cooking cavity with a steaming function, the fryer basket 41 can be selected as the cooking container, and other components such as a grill 43 can also be placed in the fryer basket 41; when the cooking cavity is used as a cooking cavity with a frying and roasting function, the fryer basket 41 can be removed and the upper baking tray 42 can be installed, so that the upper baking tray 42 and the lower baking tray 21 cooperate with each other to form a frying and roasting cavity, thereby achieving the frying and roasting effect of the frying and roasting device. Of course, in addition to the two cooking containers and usage methods introduced in this embodiment, in actual applications, other cooking containers can also be selected according to the cooking function and used alone or in combination, thereby realizing the multi-functional expansion of the air fryer.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 , the connection methods between the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2 include but are not limited to flip hinge, snap connection, screw-on connection, horizontal sliding connection or vertical lifting connection. Specifically, flip hinge means that the upper pot body 1 is flippably set on the lower pot body 2 through a hinge, snap connection means that the upper pot body 1 is detachably set on the lower pot body 2 through a snap assembly, screw-on connection means that the upper pot body 1 is set on the lower pot body 2 by threaded connection or other rotation methods, horizontal sliding connection means that the upper pot body 1 can be horizontally slidably set on the lower pot body 2 through a slide rail assembly, and vertical lifting connection means that the upper pot body 11 can be vertically lifted and lowered on the lower pot body 2 through a lifting mechanism. The above connection methods can all achieve the mutual covering or separation of the upper pot body 1 and the lower pot body 2, so in practical applications, they can be reasonably selected and designed according to specific needs. As a preferred solution: in this embodiment, the upper pot body 1 is flippably set on the lower pot body 2 through a hinge.

[0040] The above is only a specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the utility model.
