Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly refers to an air fryer with a concealed air inlet. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer is a new type of household appliance that uses high-speed and high-temperature air circulation technology to fry food. The food made by it can reduce 80% of the grease compared with traditional electric fryers. It is easy to clean in daily use, safe and economical, and is highly favored by people. An air fryer generally includes a body. A cooking cavity is formed inside the body. A hot air component capable of sending high-temperature air into the cooking cavity is provided inside the body. A pot body for holding food is provided inside the cooking cavity. The high-temperature hot air generated when the hot air component works is used to heat the food ingredients in the pot body. The hot air fully contacts the food, and the water on the surface of the food is quickly lost instantly, or combined with the grease generated by the food itself, so that a crispy texture is formed on the surface of the food, presenting a fried effect.

[0003] In the existing air fryer, an annular air inlet is generally provided at the top of the body. For details, reference can be made to the Chinese patent "Air Fryer Facilitating Shell Cooling" with the patent application number CN202220364018.X filed by the applicant.

[0020] In the description and claims of the present utility model, terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "side", "top", "bottom", etc., are used to describe various example structural parts and elements of the present utility model. However, these terms are used herein only for the purpose of convenient description and are determined based on the example orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed by the present utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to the directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the air fryer with hidden air inlet of the present utility model. The air fryer includes a housing 1, a top cover 2, and a pot body 3 and a hot air assembly 4 disposed inside the housing 1. This is the conventional structure of the air fryer and will not be elaborated herein.

[0022] In this embodiment, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12 which are connected in an up-and-down cooperation. Specifically, the top of the upper housing 11 has a top wall 111. An air inlet 1111 is provided at the middle position of the top wall 111. A plurality of card slots 1112 are provided at the position of the top wall 111 around the air inlet 1111 and are arranged at intervals along its circumferential direction. A plurality of limiting protrusions 1113 and a plurality of first mounting posts 1114 are protruded on the surface of the top wall 111 around the air inlet 111 and are arranged at intervals along its circumferential direction.

[0023] The top cover 2 is covered above the top wall 111 of the upper housing 11, and an air inlet sandwich layer 20 is formed between the top cover 2 and the top wall 111. In this embodiment, the top cover 2 includes a cover body 21 and an air inlet ring 22.

[0024] Specifically, a plurality of buckles 211 are protruded from the bottom of the cover body 21 and are arranged at intervals along its circumferential direction and correspond to the above-mentioned card slots 1112 one by one. Each buckle 211 is clamped in the corresponding card slot 1112, so as to realize the connection between the cover body 21 and the top wall 111. A limiting edge 212 is formed by bending and extending the edge of the circumferential part of the cover body 21 downward;

[0025] The air inlet ring 22 is located on the outer periphery of the cover body 21. The bottom side of the front half of the air inlet ring 22 has a surrounding edge 221, and the end wall at the bottom of the surrounding edge 221 is closely attached to the edge of the circumferential part of the top wall 111. The bottom side of the rear half of the air inlet ring 22 has a plurality of air inlet protrusions 222 arranged at intervals along its circumferential direction. The end walls at the bottoms of the air inlet protrusions 222 are abutted against the edge of the circumferential part of the top wall 111, and an air inlet hole 2221 is formed by surrounding between two adjacent air inlet protrusions 222 and the edge of the top wall 111. Each air inlet hole 2221 is communicated with the air inlet 1111 through the air inlet sandwich layer 20.

[0026] A positioning edge 223 is convexly provided on the inner peripheral wall of the air inlet ring 22. The positioning edge 223 is clamped between the limiting edge 212 and the limiting protrusion 1113. A plurality of second mounting posts 2231 are convexly provided at the bottom of the positioning edge 223 and are arranged at intervals along its extending direction and correspond to the first mounting posts 1114 one by one. Mounting holes are formed in both the second mounting posts 2231 and the first mounting posts 1114. The positioning edge 223 and the top wall 111 are connected to each other through the mounting holes in the second mounting posts 2231 and the first mounting posts 1114 and are fixed by fasteners.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During installation, first place the second mounting posts 2231 of the air inlet ring 22 opposite to the first mounting posts 1114 of the top wall 111, and fix the second mounting posts 2231 and the first mounting posts 1114 with fasteners, and then insert the buckle 211 of the cover body 21 into the card slot 1112 of the top wall 111.

[0028] During operation, the outside air enters the air inlet sandwich layer 20 through the air inlet holes 2221 on the side wall of the rear half of the air inlet ring 22, and then enters the inside of the casing 1 through the air inlet 1111 to realize air intake. On the one hand, when the user observes from front to back, the air inlet holes 2221 cannot be seen, improving the aesthetics. On the other hand, the air inlet holes 2221 are arranged on the side, and impurities are not easily introduced and block the air inlet holes 2221.
