Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air fryers, in particular to a novel air fryer. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer is a kitchen cooking appliance that uses high-temperature air to fry food. The fat content of the food it produces is lower than that of ordinary fried food, and it is very popular among people. The heating components of the air fryer include motors, electric heating tubes, fans and other components. During the cooking process of food, the oil smoke and water vapor generated by the air fryer will enter the heating component and adhere to the surface of the electric heating tube or fan. However, the traditional heating component is usually fixed on the body of the air fryer as a whole and cannot be disassembled for cleaning. Therefore, the oil stains inside the heating component will accumulate more and more, which will eventually cause the air fryer to produce odor and affect people's dietary health.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN214387234U discloses a detachable heating component for an air fryer. The heating component of this solution is detachably arranged on the cover by means of fasteners and locks that cooperate with each other. At the same time, a power connector and a socket are used to connect the heating tube to the power supply, thereby realizing quick disassembly and assembly of the heating component and convenient cleaning of the inside of the heating component.

[0004] However, this solution has the following shortcomings: first, this solution sets the heating component on the machine cover, which not only makes the machine cover larger, but also when the heating component needs to be cleaned, the heating component needs to be removed from the machine cover, so the operation is more troublesome; second, this solution is equipped with a cooling fan for the motor, but after disassembly, the cooling fan is wrapped inside the machine cover, so the cooling fan cannot be cleaned, which will result in incomplete cleaning and has certain disadvantages.

Specific Embodiment

[0032] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. To fully understand the present invention, many details are described below. However, for those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without these details.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a new type of air fryer, comprising a body 1, a machine cover 2 and a heating assembly 3; the body 1 is provided with a cooking cavity 11 and an installation window 12 communicating with the cooking cavity 11; the heating assembly 3 is detachably arranged in the installation window 12 for heating the cooking cavity 11; the machine cover 2 and the body 1 are mutually covered or separated to close or open the installation window 12. When it is necessary to clean the heating assembly 3, only need to open the machine cover 2, and the heating assembly 3 can be taken out from the installation window 12 as a whole for cleaning, with simple and convenient operation. Since the heating assembly 3 is arranged in the installation window 12, the volume of the machine cover 2 is small, and the structural design is more delicate and beautiful.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 , specifically, the heating assembly 3 includes a fixing cover 31 and a heating tube 32 and a heat equalizing fan 33 arranged at the bottom of the fixing cover 31; a connecting component (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the heating tube 32 is arranged in the installation window 12; a motor 21 and a transmission component for driving the heat equalizing fan 33 are arranged in the machine cover 2. The heating tube 32 is used for heating the inside of the cooking cavity 11, and the heat equalizing fan 33 can improve the heat transfer efficiency and evenly transfer the heat of the heating tube 32 to each corner of the cooking cavity 11. The fixing cover 31 can play a role in supporting the heating tube 32 and the heat equalizing fan 33, making the installation and disassembly of the heating assembly 3 more convenient. Preferably, in this embodiment, the fixing cover 31 is designed as a reflection plate with a heat radiation reflection layer on the surface, and the reflection plate can reflect the heat of the heating tube 32 into the cooking cavity 11, thereby further improving the heating efficiency and ensuring uniform heating inside the cooking cavity 11.

[0036] Refer to Figures 2 to 6The novel air fryer is also provided with a cooling fan 34 for dissipating heat from the motor 21. The cooling fan 34 is arranged on the top of the fixed cover 31, and the cooling fan 34 and the heat-averaging fan 33 are connected to the transmission assembly through the same rotating shaft 35. Since the cooling fan 34 is arranged on the top of the fixed cover 31 and is coaxially connected with the heat-averaging fan 33, when the fixed cover 31 is taken out, the cooling fan 34 will be removed along with the heat-averaging fan 33 and the heating tube 32, so that the cooling fan 34 can be cleaned. Due to the obstruction of the fixed cover 31, less oil stains enter the cooling fan 34, but there will still be oil stains accumulated after long-term use. Therefore, the cooling fan 34 and the heating assembly 3 are designed as an integrated detachable structure, which helps to clean the oil stains more comprehensively and thoroughly.

[0037] Reference Figures 2 to 6 In order to prevent the blades from being exposed and deformed by force, a protective cover 36 is provided above the fixed cover 31. Specifically, a cavity for installing the cooling fan 34 is provided between the protective cover 36 and the fixed cover 31, and the protective cover 36 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 361 and water outlet holes 362 connected to the cavity. When working, the wind of the cooling fan 34 is blown onto the cover 2 through the exhaust holes 361, thereby dissipating the heat of the motor 21. The body 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 124 on the side of the heating component 3, which is also conducive to improving the heat dissipation effect. When cleaning, the cooling fan 34 is cleaned through the water outlet hole 362, and the cleaned water is discharged through the exhaust holes 361 and the water outlet hole 362 at the same time, thereby avoiding residual moisture. In addition, when cleaning, the entire heating component 3 can be directly placed in a dishwasher for cleaning, thereby reducing the burden on people.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a mounting cavity 20 is provided in the cover 2, and the motor 21 is installed in the mounting cavity 20 and connected to the rotating shaft 35 through a transmission assembly. Such a design can realize the hidden installation of the motor 21, thereby preventing the motor 21 from entering with water during cleaning and other safety hazards. In order to prevent the heat of the motor 21 from accumulating in the mounting cavity 20, a plurality of heat dissipation holes can be provided on the side wall of the cover 2. At the same time, in order to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the motor 21, this embodiment is provided with an inspection window on the top of the cover 2, and is equipped with an inspection cover 22 for closing the inspection window.

[0039] Reference Figures 2 to 6In this embodiment, the connection assembly includes a socket and a power connector that cooperate with each other. The socket is arranged in the installation window 12, and the power connector is arranged at the end of the heating tube 32. The transmission assembly includes a first transmission assembly and a second transmission assembly that can be separated or connected to each other. The first transmission assembly is arranged on the output shaft of the motor, and the second transmission assembly is arranged on the rotating shaft. As a preferred embodiment, the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly are respectively a first clutch 23 and a second clutch 24 that cooperate with each other; the first clutch 23 is arranged on the output shaft of the motor 21, and the second clutch 24 is arranged on the rotating shaft 35. Therefore, when the heating assembly 3 is installed in the installation window 12, 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 and the heat-dissipating fan 34 can also be quickly connected to the motor 21 through the mutual engagement of the first clutch 23 and the second clutch 24, thereby realizing the rapid docking of the heating assembly 3 with the cover 2, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A support portion is provided in the installation window 12, and the heating component 3 is placed above the support portion. As a preferred solution: the support portion is an annular boss 121 provided on the inner wall of the installation window 12, and the heating component 3 is placed above the annular boss 121. Such a design can reduce unnecessary installation components and disassembly processes, thereby realizing the rapid removal and insertion of the heating component 3.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , the connection methods between the cover 2 and the body 1 include but are not limited to flip hinge, snap connection, screw-on connection or horizontal sliding connection. Specifically, flip hinge means that the cover 2 is flippably set on the body 1 through a hinge, snap connection means that the cover 2 is detachably set on the body 1 through a snap assembly, screw-on connection means that the cover 2 is set on the body 1 by threaded connection or other rotation methods, and horizontal sliding connection means that the cover 2 is horizontally slidable on the body 1 through a slide rail assembly. The above connection methods can all achieve the mutual covering or separation of the cover 2 and the body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of closing or opening the installation window 12. Therefore, in practical applications, reasonable selection and design can be made according to specific needs. As a preferred solution: In this embodiment, the cover 2 is connected to the body 1 by a flip hinge. Specifically, one side of the cover 2 can be vertically flipped on the body 1 through a hinge, and the other side of the cover 2 is connected to the body 1 through a fastener (not shown in the figure).

[0042] Embodiment 2:

[0043] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8, different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the connection mode between the machine cover 2 and the machine body 1 is a screw-cap connection mode. Specifically, the machine body 1 is provided with an annular step surface 122 on the inner side wall of the installation window 12, and several limiting bosses 123 are provided at intervals. The bottom edge of the machine cover 2 is provided with several limiting hooks 25. When closing, first rotate the machine cover 2 by a certain angle so that the limiting hooks 25 and the limiting bosses 123 are misaligned with each other, then place the machine cover 2 on the annular step surface 122, and then rotate the machine cover 2 by a certain angle so that the limiting hooks 25 and the limiting bosses 123 are in contact with each other, thereby realizing locking. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this connection mode, the structures of the limiting bosses 123 and the limiting hooks 25 should be reasonably designed in combination with the outer shape structure of the machine cover 2 to prevent the situation where the machine cover 2 cannot rotate relative to the machine body 1. Of course, the machine cover 2 can also be directly designed as a circular structure that is convenient to rotate around its central axis.

[0044] Embodiment Three:

[0045] Refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the connection mode between the machine cover 2 and the machine body 1 is a screw-cap connection mode. Specifically, the machine body 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 13 extending in the vertical direction beside the installation window 12, and the side wall of the machine cover 2 is provided with a shaft sleeve 26 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 13. The machine cover 2 can rotate horizontally around the rotating shaft 13 through the shaft sleeve 26, so as to open or close the installation window 12.

[0046] Refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , because the connection mode between the machine cover 2 and the machine body 1 is different, the structure of the transmission component in this embodiment is also adjusted accordingly: the first transmission component and the second transmission component are respectively the first push rod 27 and the second push rod 28 that are in contact with each other. Specifically, the first push rod 27 has a straight structure and is vertically arranged on the output shaft of the motor 21, and the second push rod 28 has a U-shaped structure with an upward opening and is arranged at the end of the rotating shaft 35. When the machine cover 2 is closed, the first push rod 27 is in contact with one of the side walls of the two side walls of the first push rod 28. When the motor 21 works, the first push rod 27 rotates along with the output shaft of the motor 21, thereby driving the second push rod 28 and the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, and thus driving the heat equalizing fan 33 and the cooling fan 34 to rotate.

[0047] In addition to the two transmission components described in Example 1 and Example 3, in other embodiments, other structures such as magnetic attraction can also be used to design the transmission components. For example: the first transmission component is a first magnetic attraction component, the second transmission component is a second magnetic attraction component, one of the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component is a magnet (or electromagnet), and the other is a metal that can be adsorbed by a magnet (or electromagnet), or the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component are both magnets (or electromagnets) that can be adsorbed to each other. During operation, the polarity of the first magnetic attraction component changes through the rotation of the motor, and it is adsorbed to each other with the second magnetic attraction component, thereby driving the rotating shaft 35 to rotate.

[0048] 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.
