[0023] An embodiment of the present application discloses a dual-mode cooking device, such as Figures 1-4 shown, which includes a first housing 1. A cooking component 11 for placing food is provided inside the first housing 1. A second housing 2 is movably connected to the side of the first housing 1, and a heating component 21 is provided inside the second housing 2. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are combined, the hot air generated by the heating component 21 enters the cooking component 11 to heat the food. When the second housing 2 is unfolded outside the first housing 1, the heating component 21 is placed upward for heating the food placed above the heating component 21.

[0024] When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are combined, the heating component 21 and the cooking component 11 form an air fryer, and the hot air generated by the heating component 21 enters the cooking component 11 to heat the food, achieving the effect of air frying. When the second housing 2 is unfolded outside the first housing 1, the heating component 21 is upward, and cooking pots such as a steamer, a boiling pot, a frying pan, a wok, a griddle pan, etc. can be placed above the heating component 21, and the heating component 21 is used to steam, boil, fry, and bake the food placed in the cooking pot. It should be noted that the cooking component 11 can be a baking tray or a frying basket, a pot body, etc.

[0025] Through the improvement of the structure, the present application expands the cooking functions of the air fryer. Without adding other heating elements, the air fryer has multiple functions, achieving the purpose of multi-purpose use of one machine to better meet the cooking needs of users.

[0026] Specifically, the heating component 21 includes a heating element 211, a first fan blade 212, and a motor 213 for driving the first fan blade 212 to rotate. A reflector 22 is provided inside the second housing 2. An accommodation cavity 23 is provided between the reflector 22 and the second housing 2. The heating element 211 and the first fan blade 212 are located inside the reflector 22, and the motor 213 is located inside the accommodation cavity 23. An air inlet 24 communicating with the accommodation cavity 23 is provided on the second housing 2, and a cold air inlet is provided on the reflector 22. It should be noted that the heating element 211 can be located on the periphery of the first fan blade 212 or at one end of the first fan blade 212 away from the motor 213.

[0027] Of course, in practical applications, in order to prevent the heat generated during the rotation of the motor 213 from affecting the surrounding electronic components, a motor mount 25 is provided in the second housing 2. A cold air chamber 26 is provided between the motor mount 25 and the reflector 22. The accommodation chamber 23 is formed by the motor mount 25 and the second housing 2. A second air blade 27 connected to the motor 213 is provided in the cold air chamber 26, and the cold air chamber 26 communicates with the accommodation chamber 23. The second air blade 27 sucks the outside cold air into the accommodation chamber 23 through the air inlet 24 to cool the motor 213. At the same time, under the action of the first air blade 212, the cold air is sucked into the reflector 22 through the cold air inlet and flows through the heating element 211 to be heated into hot air, so as to heat the food in the cooking assembly 11 or the cookware.

[0028] When the cooking assembly 11 is set as a frying basket, a cooking pot, etc., one side of the first housing 1 close to the second housing 2 is open. A hot air inlet 111 and an air return port 112 corresponding to the first air blade 212 are provided on the cooking assembly 11. The outside cold air enters the reflector 22 through the cold air inlet and blows to the heating element 211 from the side of the first air blade 212 to be heated into hot air, and enters the cooking assembly 11 through the hot air inlet 111 to heat the food. The food in the cooking assembly 11 is sucked back by the first air blade 212 and circulates back to the first air blade 212 through the air return port 112 to realize the heat circulation in the cooking assembly 11. In other embodiments, when the cooking assembly 11 is a baking tray, one end of the first housing 1 close to the second housing 2 is closed, and hot air inlets 111 and air return ports 112 are provided on the side walls of the first housing 1.

[0029] As an implementation manner, the first housing 1 is rotatably connected to the second housing 2, and a positioning assembly is provided between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The rotation range of the second housing 2 is 0-90°. When the rotation angle is 0°, the first housing 1 cooperates with the second housing 2 and is fixed by the positioning assembly to ensure the stability of the whole machine. When the rotation angle is 90°, when the second housing 2 is unfolded outside the first housing 1, the heating assembly 21 faces upward, so as to use other cookware to steam, boil, fry, bake and other operations on the food.

[0030] Among them, the positioning assembly includes a first magnetic attracting member located on the first housing 1 and a second magnetic attracting member provided on the second housing 2. When the first housing 1 cooperates with the second housing 2, the first magnetic attracting member and the second magnetic attracting member are magnetically attracted to fix the second housing 2 and the first housing 1. The structure is simple and convenient to use. The first magnetic attracting member and the second magnetic attracting member can both be magnets, or any one of the magnetic attracting members can be a magnetic conductive material and the other magnetic attracting member can be a magnet. It should be noted that the positioning assembly can be set as a buckle structure or connected by fasteners such as bolts.

[0031] As another implementation, a positioning component is provided between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The positioning component can adopt a magnetic attraction structure, a snap structure, a fastener connection, etc., and the installation and disassembly of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be directly realized through the positioning component, and the structure is simpler.

[0032] To facilitate the rotation or disassembly of the second housing 2, a holding portion is provided at the top of the second housing 2 for easy user operation.

[0033] In addition, a storage cavity 12 is provided in the first housing 1, and the end of the second housing 2 is located in the storage cavity 12 to reduce the overall size of the cooking device and improve the connection stability between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0034] To improve the sealing performance between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 and prevent the hot air in the cooking component 11 from overflowing from the gap between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, a sealing member is provided between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 to ensure the heating effect in the cooking component 11 and improve the heating efficiency of the food.

[0035] Further, an isolation net 28 is provided on the second housing 2, and the isolation net 28 is located at one end of the first fan blade 212 away from the motor 213. When the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are matched, the isolation net 28 can prevent the oil fume generated during cooking from entering the second housing 2 and adhering to the heating element 211 and the first fan blade 212, reducing the cleaning difficulty of the user; when the second housing 2 is unfolded outside the first housing 1, the isolation net 28 can prevent the cookware from directly contacting the heating element 211, damaging the coating of the cookware or generating scratches.

[0036] A support platform 29 is provided on the second housing 2. The second housing 2 is unfolded outside the first housing 1, and the support platform 29 supports the second housing 2. By using the support platform 29 to support the second housing 2, the second housing 2 is stably inverted on the workbench surface, and there is a gap between the second housing 2 and the workbench surface, which is convenient for the heat to dissipate during the cooking process. In this embodiment, the air inlet 24 is located on the side wall of the second housing 2 where the support platform 29 is provided, and the outside cold air enters the accommodation cavity 23 through the air inlet 24 by using this gap to cool the motor 213.

[0037] In other embodiments, the air inlet 24 is located on the side wall of the second housing 2. In this case, the support platform 29 may not be provided, so that the second housing 2 can be stably placed on the workbench surface, which can improve the overall stability and safety.

[0038] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
