Specific embodiments

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-8As shown in the figure, a manual stirring and flipping mechanism for an air fryer includes a frying basket 1. A rotating structure 4 is installed on the frying basket 1. The rotating structure 4 includes a transmission shaft 404. The transmission shaft 404 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the frying basket 1. A plug rod 403 is slidably connected inside the transmission shaft 404. The end of the plug rod 403 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 402. The end of the rotating rod 402 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 401. An inner container 2 is installed inside the frying basket 1. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner container 2. A limiting structure 5 is installed on the handle 7. The limiting structure 5 includes a groove 501. The groove 501 is formed on the handle 7. The limiting block 401 is engaged with the groove 501. One end of the transmission shaft 404 facing the middle of the frying basket 1 is connected to a stirring structure 3 through a driving structure 6. By installing the rotating rod 402 outside the frying basket 1, the stirring structure 3 can be manually driven to rotate outside the frying basket 1. The structure is simple, the operation is flexible and convenient, the processing is convenient, and the production cost is saved.

[0025] As a technical optimization scheme of the present invention, the limiting block 401 has a hexagonal structure, the groove 501 has a hexagonal structure, and the cross-section of the plug rod 403 has a polygonal structure. The plug rod 403 has a polygonal structure to prevent the rotating rod 402 from driving the plug rod 403 to rotate automatically inside the transmission shaft 404 when the rotating rod 402 rotates, increasing the stability of the rotating structure 4.

[0026] As a technical optimization scheme of the present invention, a first rotating shaft 503 is rotatably connected to the handle 7. A baffle 502 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 503. The baffle 502 abuts against the limiting block 401. A torsion spring 504 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle 7. The other end of the torsion spring 504 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 503, preventing the limiting block 401 from sliding out of the groove 501 and limiting the rotating structure 4.

[0027] As a technical optimization scheme of the present invention, the driving structure 6 includes a worm 601. One end of the transmission shaft 404 facing the middle of the frying basket 1 is fixedly connected to the worm 601. A worm gear 602 is meshed on the side of the worm 601. A second rotating shaft 603 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 602. A driving wheel 604 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating shaft 603. A driven wheel 605 is meshed on the side of the driving wheel 604. A third rotating shaft 606 is fixedly connected to the driven wheel 605. The third rotating shaft 606 is rotatably connected to the inner container 2. The stirring structure 3 includes a double-leaf stirring rod 301. The double-leaf stirring rod 301 is installed outside the third rotating shaft 606. By driving the double-leaf stirring rod 301 to rotate through the driving structure 6, the function of the stirring structure 3 to stir and flip food is realized.

[0028] As a technical optimization solution of the present utility model, a narrow blade 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the double-blade stirring rod 301, and a wide blade 303 is fixedly connected to the top end of the double-blade stirring rod 301. The stirring structure 3 is installed in the middle of the inner container 2. The narrow blade 302 has a wavy structure. The narrow blade 302 can stir and turn the food deposited at the bottom end of the inner container 2, and the wide blade 303 can stir and turn the large pieces of food in the upper part of the inner container 2, increasing the flexibility of the stirring structure 3.

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the present utility model, a screw rod 304 abuts against the top end of the double-blade stirring rod 301, and the bottom end of the screw rod 304 is threadedly connected to the third rotating shaft 606. The setting of the screw rod 304 not only increases the connection stability between the double-blade stirring rod 301 and the third rotating shaft 606, thereby making the stirring structure 3 more stable during use, but also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the stirring structure 3.

[0030] When the utility model is in use, first, the inner liner 2 of the air fryer is made of visual glass at the connection with the handle 7. The baking condition of the food inside the frying basket 1 can be observed through the visual glass. When it is necessary to stir the food, the baffle 502 is pushed to the side of the handle 7. The baffle 502 drives the first rotating shaft 503 to rotate. While the first rotating shaft 503 rotates, it drives the torsion spring 504 to rotate to form a torsional force. When the baffle 502 no longer abuts against the limiting block 401, the lever 402 is pushed towards the frying basket 1. The lever 402 drives the insertion rod 403 to slide into the inside of the transmission shaft 404, so that the lever 402 drives the limiting block 401 to slide out of the groove 501, thereby releasing the limitation on the limiting block 401. The operation is simple and convenient. When the baffle 502 is set and the limiting block 401 does not need to be rotated, the baffle 502 abuts against the limiting block 401 and cannot slide out of the groove 501. Since both the limiting block 401 and the groove 501 are hexagonal structures, the limiting block 401 cannot rotate in the groove 501, thereby increasing the stability of the rotating structure 4; after the limiting block 401 slides out, the lever 402 is rotated. The lever 402 drives the insertion rod 403 to rotate. The insertion rod 403 drives the transmission shaft 404 to rotate. The transmission shaft 404 drives the worm 601 to rotate. The worm 601 is meshed and transmitted to the worm wheel 602, so that the worm wheel 602 is in a rotating state. The worm wheel 602 drives the driving wheel 604 to rotate through the second rotating shaft 603 fixed thereto. The driving wheel 604 is meshed and transmitted to the driven wheel 605. The driven wheel 605 drives the third rotating shaft 606 to rotate. Thus, the double-blade stirring rod 301 is driven to rotate through the third rotating shaft 606. The double-blade stirring rod 301 drives the narrow blade 302 and the wide blade 303 to rotate, thereby realizing the stirring and turning function of the food inside the frying basket 1. By installing the lever 402 outside the frying basket 1, the stirring structure 3 can be manually driven to rotate outside the frying basket 1. The structure is simple, the operation is flexible and convenient, the processing is convenient, and the production cost is saved; when it is necessary to disassemble the stirring structure 3 for cleaning, the screw 304 is rotated so that the screw 304 is no longer connected to the third rotating shaft 606. The screw 304 is continuously rotated so that the screw 304 slides out from the top end of the double-blade stirring rod 301, thereby releasing the fixation of the double-blade stirring rod 301. Therefore, the setting of the screw 304 not only increases the stability of the connection between the double-blade stirring rod 301 and the third rotating shaft 606, thereby making the stirring structure 3 more stable during use, but also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the stirring structure 3.
