Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air fryers, in particular to an air fryer body with a side wall capable of letting air in and out. Background Art

[0002] The air fryer is a popular kitchen cooking appliance. It includes a fryer body and a pot assembly with a food accommodating cavity. The fryer body is provided with a heating assembly. The pot assembly is inserted into the fryer body. The heating assembly blows hot air from top to bottom to cook the food in the accommodating cavity. The air fryer is widely loved by modern housewives and chefs because it does not require users to stir fry constantly, produces less smoke, and has high cooking efficiency.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent application with the prior publication number CN117770664A discloses a quick-loading air fryer pot body and an air fryer, comprising: a pot body, a right convex connecting part convex to the right is provided on the upper right side of the exterior of the pot body, and locking slots are provided on both the front and rear sides of the right convex connecting part; a handle, a right concave connecting groove concave to the right to be adapted and connected with the right convex connecting part is provided on the upper left side of the handle, and a locking clearance hole connected to the right concave connecting groove and corresponding to the locking slot is provided on the handle, and a concave limiting groove is provided on the upper side of the locking clearance hole and connected to the locking clearance hole; a locking member, a locking foot is provided on the handle, which can pass through the locking clearance hole and then be locked in the locking slot, and a limiting clamping part is provided on the handle, which is located on the upper side of the locking foot and can be clamped in the concave limiting groove.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned air fryer pot body has the following disadvantages: no ventilation holes are provided on the bottom and side walls of the pot body. When the air fryer cooks food, the hot air flow after being heated on the top can only be blown vertically downward from the center to the upper surface of the food, and then return air upward from the periphery. The cooking effect on the side of the food is poor, resulting in the upper surface of the food being easily burnt and poor heating uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an air fryer pot body with a side wall through which air can flow in and out, which heats in multiple directions simultaneously and has a more uniform heating effect.

[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem through a technical solution: an air fryer pot body with side walls capable of air inlet and outlet, comprising a pot body, an opening on the top of the pot body, an air inlet area and an air outlet area being arranged on at least one side of the pot wall of the pot body, the air inlet area and the opening being both connected to an air inlet passage of the air fryer, and the air outlet area being connected to an air return passage of the air fryer.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when using, the pot body is placed in the air fryer, and a part of the hot air flow in the air fryer can be blown into the pot body from top to bottom through the opening above the pot body to cook the upper surface of the food, and the other part of the hot air flow can be blown into the pot body through the air inlet area of ​​the pot wall to cook the side wall of the food. The two hot air flows can be discharged through the air outlet area of ​​the pot wall to the return air channel of the air fryer for cyclic heating. In this way, the two hot air flows are blown into the pot body from two different directions respectively, so that the food can be heated in multiple directions at the same time, which has the effect of more uniform heating and higher heating efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the air outlet area S1 of the air outlet region is larger than the air inlet area S2 of the air inlet region.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet region is larger, which can avoid excessive gas retention in the pot body and cause the air pressure to increase to a certain extent.

[0010] Preferably, two symmetrical pot walls are convexly formed with convex parts, a detachable partition plate is provided in the pot body, the convex parts are supported and cooperated with the partition plate, and the partition plate divides the inner cavity of the pot body into an upper cooking area and a lower cooking area.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the interlayer plate is placed on the convex part, so that double-layer cooking of food can be achieved.

[0012] Preferably, the air outlet area is arranged corresponding to the upper cooking zone and the lower cooking zone, and the air inlet area is arranged corresponding to the lower cooking zone.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the hot air flow blown in from the opening above the pot body can directly heat the food in the upper cooking zone, and the hot air flow blown in from the air inlet area of ​​the pot wall can directly heat the food in the lower cooking zone, and the air flow in the upper and lower cooking zones can be discharged through the air outlet area. In this way, compared with a pot body that can only be heated from top to bottom, the situation where the lower cooking zone is insufficient in heat and cannot achieve good cooking can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0014] Preferably, avoidance grooves corresponding to the convex parts are provided on two sides of the partition plate, and the partition plate is square as a whole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the convex part corresponding to the avoidance groove of the partition plate is placed in the pot body, the partition plate can be directly placed at the bottom of the pot body. This situation is suitable for single-layer cooking of larger food and can also play the role of filtering oil; when the partition plate is rotated 90° circumferentially and placed on the convex part, the convex part and the partition plate support are matched, thus achieving upper and lower double-layer cooking.

[0016] Preferably, the pot body is provided with a handle assembly, the air inlet area and the air outlet area are arranged on the pot wall opposite to the handle assembly, and the convex parts are arranged on the pot wall on both sides of the handle assembly.

[0017] Preferably, the air outlet area includes a plurality of staggered hexagonal holes.

[0018] Preferably, the pot body is a square pot body, and the air inlet area is arranged on both sides of the air outlet area and close to the corners of the pot body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet area is arranged on both sides of the air outlet area, so that the airflow in the air inlet area can form a U-shaped path in the pot body, which can fully heat the food and avoid the occurrence of turbulence.

[0020] Preferably, the air inlet area includes a plurality of transverse strip-shaped through holes, the length of the transverse strip-shaped through holes gradually increases from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area of ​​each transverse strip-shaped through hole gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper and lower layers in the pot body are heated, a part of the airflow blown in from top to bottom will be blown from the upper cooking area to the lower cooking area through the air flow holes of the partition plate. The closer to the bottom of the pot, the worse the heating effect of this part of the hot air flow. Therefore, by gradually increasing the air inlet area from top to bottom in the air inlet area, the hot air flow can be supplemented to the lower cooking area, making the heating relatively more uniform.

[0022] Preferably, the inner wall of the pot wall is provided with a resistance step, which is located between the protrusion and the bottom of the pot, and the resistance step cooperates with the partition board support. When the partition board is placed on the resistance step, the partition board is located below the air inlet area and the air outlet area.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the partition plate is placed on the resisting step, an oil filter cavity is formed between the partition plate and the bottom of the pot, and the hot air flow in the air inlet area can directly cook the side wall of the food on the partition plate.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0025] 1. The first hot air flow blown into the pot from top to bottom and the second hot air flow blown in from the pot wall are used in combination. Since the two hot air flows are blown into the pot from two different directions, the food can be heated in multiple directions at the same time, which has the effect of more uniform heating and higher heating efficiency.

[0026] 2. The inner cavity of the pot body is divided into upper and lower cooking areas by using an interlayer plate, and the air inlet area is set corresponding to the lower cooking area. Compared with the pot body that can only be heated from top to bottom, it can avoid the situation that the lower cooking area is not hot enough and cannot achieve good cooking to a certain extent, and realize the upper and lower cooking areas to be heated evenly at the same time;

[0027] 3. By opening avoidance grooves corresponding to the convex parts on both sides of the interlayer plate, the switching between single-layer heating and double-layer heating can be achieved by rotating the direction of the interlayer plate, which is more flexible and convenient to use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] An air fryer pot body with a side wall capable of letting in and out air, such as Figure 1-5As shown, it includes a pot body 1 which is square as a whole, the four corners of the pot body 1 are arc-shaped transitions, the top of the pot body 1 is open, the front pot wall of the pot body 1 is provided with a handle assembly 2, and the rear pot wall of the pot body 1 is provided with an air inlet area 11 and an air outlet area 12, the air inlet area 11 and the opening are both connected to the air inlet channel of the air fryer 3, the air outlet area 12 is connected to the return air channel 33 of the air fryer 3, the air outlet area 12 includes a plurality of staggered hexagonal holes, the air inlet area 11 includes a plurality of horizontal strip-shaped through holes, the air inlet area 11 is arranged on both sides of the air outlet area 12 and close to the corner of the pot body 1, and the air inlet area 11 is arranged on both sides of the air outlet area 12, so that the airflow in the air inlet area 11 can form a U-shaped path in the pot body, the food can be fully heated, and the occurrence of turbulence can be avoided. The air outlet area S1 of the air outlet region 12 is larger than the air inlet area S2 of the air inlet region 11. The larger air outlet area of ​​the air outlet region 12 can avoid excessive gas retention in the pot body 1 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the increase of gas pressure.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the left and right sides of the pot body 1 are respectively protruded inward to form two convex parts 13, and the pot body 1 is detachably provided with a square partition plate 4, which is provided with a plurality of air flow holes 41, and the convex parts 13 are supported and matched with two sides of the partition plate 4, and the other two sides of the partition plate 4 are provided with avoidance grooves 42 corresponding to the convex parts 13, and the partition plate 4 divides the inner cavity of the pot body 1 into an upper cooking area 14 and a lower cooking area 15, and the inner wall of the pot wall is provided with a resisting step 16, which is located between the convex part 13 and the pot bottom, and is supported and matched with the partition plate 4, and when the partition plate 4 is placed on the resisting step 16, the partition plate 4 is located below the air inlet area 11 and the air outlet area 12. The air outlet area 12 is set corresponding to the upper cooking area 14 and the lower cooking area 15, and the air inlet area 11 is set corresponding to the lower cooking area 15. When the avoidance groove 42 of the interlayer plate 4 is placed in the pot body corresponding to the convex portion 13, the interlayer plate 4 can be directly placed on the resisting step 16 at the bottom of the pot body, and an oil filter cavity is formed between the interlayer plate 4 and the pot bottom. This situation is suitable for single-layer cooking of larger food and plays the role of filtering oil. The hot air flow in the air inlet area 11 can directly cook the side wall of the food on the interlayer plate 4, and the hot air blown out from the open opening from top to bottom cooks the upper surface of the food; when the interlayer plate 4 is rotated 90° circumferentially and placed on the convex portion 13, the convex portion 13 and the interlayer plate 4 are supported and matched, so that upper and lower double-layer cooking can be achieved at the same time.

[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the length of the horizontal strip-shaped through holes in the air inlet area 11 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area of ​​each horizontal strip-shaped through hole gradually increases from top to bottom. When the upper and lower cooking areas in the pot body are heated, a part of the airflow blown in from top to bottom will pass through the airflow holes 41 of the partition plate 4 and blow from the upper cooking area 14 to the lower cooking area 15. The closer to the bottom of the pot, the worse the heating effect of this part of the hot air flow. Therefore, by gradually increasing the air inlet area from top to bottom in the air inlet area 11, the hot air flow can be supplemented to the lower cooking area 15, so that the heating is relatively more uniform.

[0040] like Figure 6-7 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a pot body placed in an air fryer 3. The air fryer 3 includes two upper and lower heating chambers 37 and a heating and air supply system. The two heating chambers 37 are provided with pot bodies respectively. The heating and air supply system includes a driving motor 35, a heating pipe 361 and a centrifugal fan 341. The driving motor 35 drives the centrifugal fan 341 to rotate, so that the air flow in the pot body is sucked in along the axial direction of the centrifugal fan 341 and sent out along the circumferential direction. A partition plate 38 is provided between the centrifugal fan 341 and the heating pipe 361. The partition plate 38 divides the inner cavity into an air supply chamber 34 and a heating chamber 36. A central through hole is opened in the center of the partition 38 to connect the air supply chamber 34 and the heating chamber 36. The centrifugal fan 341 is arranged in the air supply chamber 34, and the heating pipe 361 is arranged in the heating chamber 36. The upper part of the partition plate 38 forms an upper air inlet channel 31, and the upper air inlet channel 31 passes from the air supply chamber 34 through the heating chamber 36 to the upper part of the heating chamber 37, and is blown into the pot body from the open mouth of the pot body; the lower part of the partition plate 38 forms a lower air inlet channel 32, and the lower air inlet channel 32 passes from the air supply chamber 34 through the heating chamber 36 to the lower part of the heating chamber 37, and is blown into the pot body from the air inlet area 11 of the pot body. The air fryer inner wall 39 is located between the rear side wall of the pot body and the heating tube 361. The air fryer inner wall 39 is provided with a plurality of through holes 391 connected to the air outlet area 12. The air fryer inner wall 39 is also provided with two air guide holes 392 corresponding to the air inlet area 11. The air guide holes 392 are embedded with an air guide sleeve 5 made of rubber. When the pot body is placed in the air fryer 3, the sleeve opening of the air guide sleeve 5 is sealed with the outer periphery of the air inlet area 11 of the rear side wall of the pot body. A plurality of turning ribs 6 are provided on the top of the inner wall of the air fryer 3. When the airflow of the upper air inlet channel 31 blows to the turning ribs 6, the airflow direction is changed from horizontal to vertical downward and can be blown into the pot body. The airflow of the lower air inlet channel 32 is blown into the pot body through the guiding horizontal direction of the air guide sleeve 5.

[0041] The basic working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the pot body is placed in the air fryer 3. When cooking in a single layer, a part of the hot air flow in the air fryer 3 can be blown into the pot body from top to bottom through the opening above the pot body 1 to cook the upper surface of the food, and another part of the hot air flow can be blown into the pot body through the air inlet area 11 of the pot wall to cook the side wall of the food. The two hot air flows can be discharged through the air outlet area 12 of the pot wall to the return air channel 33 of the air fryer 3 for cyclic heating. In this way, the two hot air flows are blown into the pot body from two different directions, so that the food can be heated in multiple directions at the same time, which has the effect of more uniform heating and higher heating efficiency. When cooking in two layers, the partition plate 4 is placed on the convex portion 13 to separate the upper cooking area 14 and the lower cooking area 15. The hot air flow blown from the opening above the pot body 1 from top to bottom can directly heat the food in the upper cooking area 14, and the hot air flow blown from the air inlet area 11 of the pot wall can directly heat the food in the lower cooking area 15. The airflows in the upper and lower cooking areas can be discharged through the air outlet area 12. In this way, compared with a pot body that can only be heated from top to bottom, the situation that the lower cooking area 15 is not heated enough and cannot achieve good cooking can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and does not limit the utility model in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the utility model still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
