Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and particularly relates to an inner pot assembly and an air fryer having the same. Background Art

[0002] For the sake of cleanliness, users often place silicone oil paper on the frying basket when using an air fryer. At this time, hot air cannot penetrate the oil paper, so that the bottom of the food cannot be well colored. To solve this problem, a heating component in contact with the bottom of the inner pot is usually arranged in the air fryer, and at the same time, the frying basket is abutted against the bottom wall of the inner pot, so as to achieve a better heat conduction heating effect. However, in order to ensure the heating effect of heat conduction, the heating temperature of the heating component is often set relatively high. When the user does not place the oil paper, the oil generated by the food is likely to accumulate at the bottom of the food, soaking the food, affecting the taste, and at the same time, generating oil fumes due to the relatively high temperature of the contact surface at the bottom of the inner pot, further affecting the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to a certain extent.

[0004] To this end, an embodiment of the utility model provides an inner pot assembly, which has the advantages of high heating efficiency for the bottom of the food in the frying basket, good taste of the food, and difficult generation of oil fumes due to heat of the oil.

[0005] An embodiment of the utility model also provides an air fryer.

[0006] The inner pot assembly of the embodiment of the utility model includes an inner pot and a frying basket. The bottom wall of the inner pot includes an oil storage part and a heat receiving part. The upper surface of the heat receiving part is higher than the upper surface of the oil storage part. At least one of the heat receiving part and the peripheral wall of the inner pot jointly defines an oil storage groove with an upward opening with the oil storage part; the frying basket is arranged in the inner pot. The lower surface of the frying basket abuts against the upper surface of the heat receiving part and is spaced from the upper surface of the oil storage part. Oil filtering holes communicated with the oil storage groove are arranged on the bottom wall of the frying basket.

[0007] According to the inner pot assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, after the frying basket is placed in the inner pot, the lower surface of the frying basket abuts against the upper surface of the heat receiving part of the inner pot to realize direct heat transfer between the heat receiving part and the frying basket, with high heat transfer efficiency, and thus high heating efficiency for the bottom of the food in the frying basket. Moreover, by arranging an oil storage part lower than the heat receiving part on the bottom wall of the inner pot to form an oil storage groove, and arranging oil filtering holes communicated with the oil storage groove on the bottom wall of the frying basket, the oil overflowed from the heated food can flow into the oil storage groove through the oil filtering holes. Thus, it not only avoids the oil soaking the food and affecting the taste of the food, but also keeps the oil away from the heat receiving part with the highest temperature, avoiding the formation of oil fumes due to evaporation at high temperature and affecting the user experience.

[0008] Optionally, the bottom wall of the frying basket includes a first plate opposite to the heated part in the height direction and a second plate opposite to the oil storage part, and the oil filtering holes are provided on both the first plate and the second plate;

[0009] At least part of the lower surface of the first plate is spaced apart from the upper surface of the heated part, and an oil filtering channel is defined between the at least part of the lower surface of the first plate and the upper surface of the heated part. The oil filtering channel communicates the oil storage tank and the oil filtering holes on the first plate. The inner pot assembly of the present utility model forms an oil filtering channel connecting the oil filtering holes and the oil storage tank between the first plate and the heated part, ensuring that the grease located above the first plate can directly flow into the oil storage tank through the oil filtering holes and the oil filtering channel thereon, thereby effectively avoiding the accumulation of grease above the first plate from wetting the food materials or generating oil fumes due to high temperature. Moreover, the grease on the second plate can also directly flow into the oil storage tank through the oil filtering holes thereon, thereby effectively avoiding the accumulation of grease above the second plate from wetting the food materials or generating oil fumes due to high temperature.

[0010] Optionally, a flap is provided extending downward from the lower surface of the first plate, and the lower surface of the flap abuts against the upper surface of the heated part;

[0011] And / or, the lower surface of the first plate is a wavy arc surface;

[0012] And / or, the upper surface of the heated part is a wavy arc surface. For the inner pot assembly of the present utility model, by providing a flap on the lower surface of the first plate for abutting against the heated part, the lower surface of the first plate and the upper surface of the heated part can be spaced apart, and an oil filtering channel can be formed therebetween. Or, by setting the lower surface of the first plate and / or the upper surface of the heated part as a wavy arc surface, it can also ensure that at least part of the lower surface of the first plate and the upper surface of the heated part are spaced apart, and an oil filtering channel is formed therebetween. Thus, the oil filtering holes only need to be through holes penetrating the first plate and the second plate in the height direction, and the above-mentioned oil filtering channel forming method is simple and reliable, and the overall manufacturing cost of the frying basket is lower.

[0013] Optionally, the oil storage part is located on the outer peripheral side of the heated part, the oil storage part is connected to the peripheral wall of the inner pot, and the oil storage part, the peripheral wall of the inner pot and the heated part jointly define the annular oil storage tank. By arranging the oil storage part on the outer peripheral side of the heated part, that is, arranging the oil storage tank on the outer peripheral side of the heated part, the inner pot assembly of the present utility model has the following advantages: on the one hand, the grease falling on the heated part can flow into the oil storage tank along any radial direction through the oil filtering channel, with a short flow path and low flow difficulty; on the other hand, it also makes the oil storage part relatively farther away from the heating component than the heated part, ensuring that the temperature of the oil storage part does not exceed the boiling point of the grease to avoid the formation of oil fumes; on the third hand, it makes the heated part located in the middle of the bottom wall of the inner pot, and when its temperature rises, it can more efficiently cook the food materials on the frying basket, further ensuring the evenness of food material cooking.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom wall of the inner pot further includes a support portion located above the oil storage portion and spaced apart from the heat receiving portion. The upper surface of the support portion is higher than the upper surface of the heat receiving portion. There are at least two support portions arranged at intervals in a first direction perpendicular to the height direction.

[0015] The lower surface of the second plate defines a limiting groove with a downward opening, and the limiting grooves correspond to the support portions one by one, and the support portions are fitted into the corresponding limiting grooves. The inner pot assembly of the present utility model effectively realizes reliable horizontal limiting and auxiliary support in the height direction of the frying basket through the cooperation of at least two support portions on the inner pot and the corresponding limiting grooves on the second plate in the frying basket.

[0016] Optionally, at least part of the upper surface of the heat receiving portion slopes downward in a direction from the center toward the outer periphery.

[0017] And / or, at least part of the lower surface of the frying basket slopes downward in a direction from the center toward the outer periphery. Thus, when the grease drips on the upper surface of the heat receiving portion, it can quickly flow into the oil storage tank under the guidance of the slope of the upper surface, avoiding the grease staying on the heat receiving portion for a long time and being evaporated to generate oil fumes.

[0018] Optionally, the maximum distance between the upper surface of the heat receiving portion and the lower surface of the oil storage portion in the height direction is L, where 2 mm ≤ L ≤ 10 mm. The inner pot assembly of the present utility model ensures that the oil storage tank has a sufficient volume to more reliably collect all the grease and ensure the dryness of the food materials by setting L to be greater than or equal to 2 mm. By setting L to be less than or equal to 10 mm, it effectively avoids the excessive upward protrusion height of the heat receiving portion, resulting in a reduction in the effective volume of the inner pot.

[0019] Optionally, the projected outer contour area of the heat receiving portion in the height direction is S1, and the projected outer contour area of the bottom wall of the inner pot in the height direction is S2, where 20% ≤ S1 / S2 ≤ 90%. For the inner pot assembly of the present utility model, by setting S1 / S2 to be greater than or equal to 20%, it ensures that the inner pot and the heating assembly, as well as the first plate of the inner pot and the frying basket, have a sufficiently large heat receiving area, thereby having a greater heating efficiency for the bottom of the food materials. By setting S1 / S2 to be less than or equal to 90%, it ensures that the oil storage tank has a sufficient volume and effectively avoids the grease overflowing from the oil storage tank and wetting the food materials.

[0020] Optionally, a plurality of silica gel plugs are clamped between the outer peripheral surface of the frying basket and the inner peripheral surface of the inner pot. The plurality of silica gel plugs are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the frying basket and fixedly installed on the outer peripheral side of the frying basket or the inner peripheral side of the inner pot. The inner pot assembly of the present utility model realizes reliable positioning of the frying basket in the inner pot by clamping a plurality of silica gel plugs between the outer peripheral surface of the frying basket and the inner peripheral surface of the inner pot, effectively avoiding the noise generated by the shaking of the frying basket in the inner pot during cooking.

[0021] The air fryer according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a body, a heating assembly, and an inner pot assembly as described in any one of the above embodiments. The body has a receiving cavity for accommodating the inner pot assembly. The heating assembly is installed in the body, and at least a part of the heating assembly protrudes from the lower surface of the receiving cavity and abuts against the heat-receiving part.

[0022] The technical advantages of the air fryer according to an embodiment of the present utility model are the same as those of the inner pot assembly in the above embodiment, and will not be elaborated here.

[0023] Optionally, the projected outer contour area in the height direction of the part of the heating assembly that protrudes from the lower surface of the receiving cavity is S3, and the projected outer contour area in the height direction of the lower surface of the receiving cavity is S4, where 30% ≤ S3 / S4 ≤ 60%. In the air fryer of the present utility model, by setting S3 / S4 to be greater than or equal to 30%, it effectively avoids the problem that the contact area between the heating assembly and the heat-receiving part is too small, which affects the heating efficiency of the inner pot. By setting S3 / S4 to be less than or equal to 60%, it effectively avoids the problem that the contact area between the heating assembly and the heat-receiving part is too large, resulting in too high a temperature rise of the outer shell of the body, thereby increasing the risk of scalding the user.

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0035] Below in conjunction with Figures 1-8 Describe the inner pot assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0036] The inner pot assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model includes an inner pot 1 and a frying basket 2. The bottom wall of the inner pot 1 includes an oil storage part 11 and a heat receiving part 12. The upper surface of the heat receiving part 12 is higher than the upper surface of the oil storage part 11. At least one of the heat receiving part 12 and the peripheral wall of the inner pot 1 jointly defines an oil storage tank 111 with an upward opening. The frying basket 2 is arranged in the inner pot 1. The lower surface of the frying basket 2 abuts against the upper surface of the heat receiving part 12 and is spaced apart from the upper surface of the oil storage part 11. An oil filtering hole 24 communicating with the oil storage tank 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the frying basket 2.

[0037] For the inner pot assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model, after the frying basket 2 is placed in the inner pot 1, the lower surface of the frying basket 2 abuts against the upper surface of the heat receiving part 12 of the inner pot 1 to realize direct heat transfer between the heat receiving part 12 and the frying basket 2, with high heat transfer efficiency, and thus high heating efficiency for the bottom of the food in the frying basket 2. Moreover, by providing an oil storage part 11 lower than the heat receiving part 12 on the bottom wall of the inner pot 1 to form an oil storage tank 111, and providing an oil filtering hole 24 communicating with the oil storage tank 111 on the bottom wall of the frying basket 2, the oil overflowed from the heated food can flow into the oil storage tank 111 through the oil filtering hole 24. Thus, it not only avoids the oil from wetting the food and affecting the taste of the food, but also keeps the oil away from the heat receiving part 12 with the highest temperature, avoiding its evaporation at high temperature to form oil fume and affecting the customer's use experience.

[0038] It should be noted that the heat receiving part 12 is used to be opposite to the heating assembly 3 in the air fryer in the height direction, and the lower surface of the heat receiving part 12 abuts against the heating assembly 3, thereby ensuring the heating efficiency of the heating assembly 3 for the heat receiving part 12.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the bottom wall of the frying basket 2 includes a first plate 21 opposite to the heating part 12 in the height direction and a second plate 22 opposite to the oil storage part 11. Oil filtering holes 24 are provided on both the first plate 21 and the second plate 22. At least part of the lower surface of the first plate 21 is spaced apart from the upper surface of the heating part 12, and an oil filtering channel is defined between at least part of the lower surface of the first plate 21 and the upper surface of the heating part 12. The oil filtering channel communicates with the oil storage tank 111 and the oil filtering holes 24 on the first plate 21. In other words, not all of the lower surfaces of the first plate 21 are in close contact with the upper surface of the heating part 12, so as to prevent the oil filtering holes 24 on the first plate 21 from being blocked by the heating part 12, resulting in the inability of grease to flow into the oil storage tank 111.

[0040] At this time, by forming an oil filtering channel communicating the oil filtering holes 24 and the oil storage tank 111 between the first plate 21 and the heating part 12, it is ensured that the grease located above the first plate 21 can directly flow into the oil storage tank 111 through the oil filtering holes 24 and the oil filtering channel thereon, thereby effectively preventing the grease above the first plate 21 from accumulating and wetting the food materials or forming oil fumes due to high-temperature evaporation. Moreover, the grease on the second plate 22 can also directly flow into the oil storage tank 111 through the oil filtering holes 24 thereon, thereby effectively preventing the grease above the second plate 22 from accumulating and wetting the food materials or generating oil fumes due to high temperature.

[0041] Exemplarily, the oil filtering holes 24 all extend spirally around the vertical center line of the frying basket 2 and penetrate through the bottom wall of the frying basket 2 in the height direction. The oil filtering holes 24 can be arranged separately on the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, or one oil filtering hole 24 can be arranged on both the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 at the same time.

[0042] In some embodiments, a flap 23 extends downward from the lower surface of the first plate 21, and the lower surface of the flap 23 abuts against the upper surface of the heating part 12. And / or, the lower surface of the first plate 21 is a wavy arc surface. And / or, the upper surface of the heating part 12 is a wavy arc surface.

[0043] By providing the flap 23 on the lower surface of the first plate 21 for abutting against the heating part 12, it can be ensured that the lower surface of the first plate 21 is spaced apart from the upper surface of the heating part 12, and an oil filtering channel is formed therebetween. And / or, by providing the lower surface of the first plate 21 and / or the upper surface of the heating part 12 as a wavy arc surface, it can also be ensured that at least part of the lower surface of the first plate 21 is spaced apart from the upper surface of the heating part 12, and an oil filtering channel is formed therebetween. Thus, the oil filtering holes 24 only need to be through holes penetrating the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 in the height direction, and the above-mentioned oil filtering channel forming method is simple and reliable, and the overall manufacturing cost of the frying basket 2 is lower.

[0044] Exemplarily, as Figure 7As shown, the outer surface of the flap 23 is connected to the inner surface of a part of the oil filtering holes 24. It can also be understood that a part of the material of the bottom wall of the frying basket 2 is bent and turned downward relative to other materials to form the oil filtering holes 24, and the turned part of the material forms the above-mentioned flap 23, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the frying basket 2 provided with the flap 23.

[0045] Alternatively, the lower end opening of the oil filtering hole 24 on the first plate 21 can also be extended to the lower surface of the second plate 22. At this time, the oil on the first plate 21 can also directly flow into the oil storage tank 111 through the oil filtering holes 24 thereon.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figures 1-3 shown, the oil storage part 11 is located on the outer peripheral side of the heating part 12. The oil storage part 11 is connected to the peripheral wall of the inner pot 1. The oil storage part 11, the peripheral wall of the inner pot 1 and the heating part 12 jointly define an annular oil storage tank 111.

[0047] By arranging the oil storage part 11 on the outer peripheral side of the heating part 12, that is, arranging the oil storage tank 111 on the outer peripheral side of the heating part 12, on the one hand, the oil falling on the heating part 12 can flow into the oil storage tank 111 along any radial direction through the oil filtering channel. The flow path of the oil is short and the flow difficulty is low. On the other hand, it also makes the oil storage part 11 relatively farther away from the heating component 3 than the heating part 12, ensuring that the temperature of the oil storage part 11 does not exceed the boiling point of the oil to prevent the oil from forming oil fumes. On the third hand, it makes the heating part 12 located in the middle of the bottom wall of the inner pot 1, and when its temperature rises, it can more efficiently cook the food on the frying basket 2, further ensuring the evenness of the cooked food.

[0048] Exemplarily, the oil storage part 11 is an annular plate. The outer peripheral edge of the oil storage part 11 is connected to the lower end of the peripheral wall, and the inner peripheral edge of the oil storage part 11 is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the heating part 12.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figures 1-3 shown, the bottom wall of the inner pot 1 further includes a support part 13. The support part 13 is located above the oil storage part 11 and is spaced apart from the heating part 12. The upper surface of the support part 13 is higher than the upper surface of the heating part 12. There are at least two support parts 13 and they are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the height direction. The lower surface of the second plate 22 defines a limiting groove 221 with a downward opening, and the limiting groove 221 corresponds to the support part 13 one by one, and the support part 13 is fitted into the corresponding limiting groove 221.

[0050] Through the cooperation of at least two support parts 13 on the inner pot 1 and the corresponding limiting grooves 221 on the second plate 22 in the frying basket 2, the reliable limiting of the frying basket 2 in the horizontal direction and the auxiliary support in the height direction are effectively realized.

[0051] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the first direction is the left - right direction of the air fryer. There are two supporting parts 13 which are distributed on both sides of the heating part 12 along the first direction. The limiting groove 221 is an L - shaped groove whose inner surface is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the frying basket 2. The two L - shaped grooves are arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane perpendicular to the first direction. When the first plate 21 of the frying basket 2 abuts against the heating part 12, the two supporting parts 13 are respectively fitted into the two L - shaped grooves.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least part of the upper surface of the heating part 12 slopes downward along the direction from the center towards the outer peripheral edge. And / or, at least part of the lower surface of the frying basket 2 slopes downward along the direction from the center towards the outer peripheral edge.

[0053] Thus, when the grease drips onto the upper surface of the heating part 12, it can quickly flow into the oil storage tank 111 under the guidance of the slope of the upper surface, avoiding the grease staying on the heating part 12 for a long time and being evaporated to generate oil fumes.

[0054] Specifically, the upper surface of the heating part 12 can be a spherical surface, a conical surface or a frustum - shaped surface. The lower surface of the first plate 21 of the frying basket 2 matches the heating part 12 and can also be a spherical surface, a conical surface or a frustum - shaped surface. The matching setting of the two ensures that they have sufficient contact area, and thus has a higher heat transfer efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the maximum distance in the height direction between the upper surface of the heating part 12 and the lower surface of the oil storage part 11 is L, where 2mm ≤ L ≤ 10mm.

[0056] By setting L greater than or equal to 2mm, it is ensured that the oil storage tank 111 has sufficient volume to more reliably collect all the grease and ensure the dryness of the food ingredients. By setting L less than or equal to 10mm, it effectively avoids the excessive upward protrusion height of the heating part 12 resulting in a reduction in the effective volume of the inner pot 1.

[0057] Specifically, the upper surface of the heating part 12 is a plane, and the height at any position of the heating part 12 is the same and is L. The height of the heating part 12 can be 2mm, 5mm, 7mm and 10mm.

[0058] In some embodiments, the projected outer contour area of the heating part 12 in the height direction is S1, and the projected outer contour area of the bottom wall of the inner pot 1 in the height direction is S2, where 20% ≤ S1 / S2 ≤ 90%.

[0059] By setting S1 / S2 to be greater than or equal to 20%, a sufficiently large heating area is ensured between the inner pot 1 and the heating component 3, and between the inner pot 1 and the first plate 21 of the frying basket 2, thereby achieving a greater heating efficiency for the bottom of the food ingredients. By setting S1 / S2 to be less than or equal to 90%, a sufficient volume of the oil storage tank 111 is ensured, effectively preventing the oil from overflowing the oil storage tank 111 and soaking the food ingredients.

[0060] Specifically, the ratio of the area of the upper surface of the heated portion 12 to the outer contour area of the bottom wall of the inner pot 1 projected in the height direction can be 20%, 50%, and 90%.

[0061] In another embodiment, a plurality of silicone plugs are clamped between the outer peripheral surface of the frying basket 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner pot 1. The plurality of silicone plugs are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the frying basket 2 and fixedly installed on the outer peripheral side of the frying basket 2 or the inner peripheral side of the inner pot 1.

[0062] By clamping a plurality of silicone plugs between the outer peripheral surface of the frying basket 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner pot 1, reliable positioning of the frying basket 2 inside the inner pot 1 is achieved, effectively preventing the frying basket 2 from shaking inside the inner pot 1 during cooking and generating noise.

[0063] Specifically, there are four silicone plugs which are snap-fitted and fixed at the four corner positions on the outer peripheral side of the frying basket 2. When the frying basket 2 is placed inside the inner pot 1, the portions of the silicone plugs located on the outer peripheral side of the frying basket 2 press against the inner peripheral surface of the inner pot 1 to achieve reliable fixation of the frying basket 2 inside the inner pot 1.

[0064] The air fryer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 4, a heating component 3, and an inner pot assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The body 4 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the inner pot assembly. The heating component 3 is installed on the body 4, and at least a part of the heating component protrudes from the lower surface of the receiving cavity and abuts against the heated portion 12.

[0065] The technical advantages of the air fryer according to an embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the inner pot assembly in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] Exemplarily, the heating component 3 includes a heating plate, a heating tube, and a pressing plate. The pressing plate is connected to the heating plate, and the heating tube is clamped between the heating plate and the pressing plate. At least a part of the heating plate protrudes from the lower surface of the receiving cavity and is located inside the receiving cavity.

[0067] In some embodiments, the outer contour area of the part of the heating component 3 protruding from the lower surface of the receiving cavity projected in the height direction is S3, and the outer contour area of the lower surface of the receiving cavity projected in the height direction is S4. Among them, 30% ≤ S3 / S4 ≤ 60%.

[0068] By setting S3 / S4 to be greater than or equal to 30%, it effectively avoids the heating efficiency of the inner pot 1 being affected due to the too small contact area between the heating component 3 and the heated part 12. By setting S3 / S4 to be less than or equal to 60%, it effectively avoids the temperature rise of the outer shell of the body 4 being too high due to the too large contact area between the heating component 3 and the heated part 12, thereby increasing the risk of scalding the user.

[0069] Specifically, the ratio of the area of the part of the heating plate protruding from the lower surface of the accommodating cavity to the outer contour area of the projection of the lower surface of the accommodating cavity in the height direction can be 30%, 45%, and 60%.
