Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air fryer. Background Art

[0002] An air fryer generally refers to a pot-shaped device that heats air and uses the heated hot air to quickly heat food ingredients. It can quickly crispify the surface of the food, thereby locking in the moisture inside the food and achieving a crispy exterior and tender interior deep-fried texture.

[0003] Existing air fryers generally include two parts: a main body assembly and a pot body assembly. The main body assembly includes a heating element, a blowing mechanism, and a cavity for accommodating the pot body in the pot body assembly. The pot body assembly includes a pot body and a handle. The handle is used to take out and insert the pot body from and into the cavity. When in use, the heating element can heat the air in the pot body assembly, and then the blowing mechanism circulates the heated air in the pot body and quickly heats the food ingredients in the pot body.

[0004] Since it is not easy for the air in the part where the food ingredients contact the pot body to pass through after the food ingredients are added to the pot body, the heating is uneven and the heating effect is not very good.

[0005] To solve the above problem of uneven heating, there is also a technical solution in which the pot body can rotate, but it still cannot solve the problem that it is not easy for the air in the part where the food ingredients contact the pot body to pass through. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air fryer to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, so that its heating is more uniform and the heating effect is better.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problem is as follows:

[0008] An air fryer, which includes a main body assembly and a pot body assembly, and is characterized in that: it further includes a rotating shaft assembly. The rotating shaft assembly includes a driver, a shaft sleeve, and a rotating shaft. The driver is fixed in the main body assembly and is connected to and drives the shaft sleeve to rotate. The rotating shaft is placed in the pot body of the pot body assembly. One end of the rotating shaft is provided with one or more snap spring grooves or snap springs along the circumference, and one or more snap springs or snap spring grooves are correspondingly provided along the circumference of the corresponding shaft sleeve hole. The other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably supported by the pot body. After the pot body enters the cavity of the main body assembly, one end of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve are locked by the snap spring and the snap spring groove.

[0009] Preferably, the snap spring locking part is a protrusion, and the bottom of the snap spring groove is an arc-shaped groove with a higher front and a lower rear. The arc-shaped groove restricts the forward and backward movement of the protrusion, so that the snap spring protrusion is not easily disengaged from the arc-shaped groove in the snap spring groove, thereby making it not easy for one end of the rotating shaft to be disengaged from the shaft sleeve.

[0010] More specifically, the driver is a rotating shaft motor.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the pot body and is supported by a support member, and the support member is fixed on the pot body, so that the structure is more compact.

[0012] Preferably, the other end of the rotating shaft is supported by a rotating shaft bracket, and the rotating shaft bracket is connected to the pot body, which facilitates the removal and placement of the rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, an annular groove is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is hung on the rotating shaft bracket through the annular groove, which is more convenient for removing and placing the rotating shaft.

[0014] Preferably, the head of the rotating shaft is conical, so that the rotating shaft can be more conveniently and easily inserted into the shaft sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the shaft sleeve hole of the shaft sleeve is also conical, so that the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve are better matched.

[0016] Preferably, a meat fork, a rotating cage or skewers are fixed on the rotating shaft, which facilitates the fixing of various food ingredients.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows: Since a rotating shaft is provided on the pot body, when the air fryer works, it can drive the food ingredients to flip, and the food ingredients will not be closely attached to the pot body. In this way, the food ingredients can be evenly heated, with high heating efficiency and good effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments in the attached drawings.

[0027] As Figures 1 - 8 shown, an air fryer includes a main body assembly 1 and a pot body assembly 2.

[0028] The main body assembly 1 includes a housing 11, a motor 13, a fan blade 12, and a heater 14. A cavity 15 capable of accommodating a drawer-type pot body 21 is provided in the housing 11, and the drawer-type pot body 21 can accommodate food to be heated.

[0029] The pot body assembly 2 includes a drawer-type pot body 21, a pot body fixing plate 22, and a handle 23. The drawer-type pot body 21 is fixed on the pot body fixing plate 22, and the handle 23 is fixed on the pot body fixing plate 22.

[0030] The air fryer is also provided with a rotating shaft assembly, and the rotating shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft motor 6, a shaft sleeve 7, a rotating shaft 3, a rotating shaft support plate 5, and a rotating shaft bracket 4.

[0031] The rotating shaft 3, the rotating shaft support plate 5, and the rotating shaft bracket 4 are arranged on the pot body 21. The inner end of the rotating shaft 3 is supported by the rotating shaft support plate 5, the rotating shaft support plate 5 is fixed on the pot body wall, the outer end of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft bracket 4, and the rotating shaft bracket 4 is connected to the pot body wall.

[0032] An annular groove 35 is provided at the outer end of the rotating shaft 3, and the rotating shaft 3 is hung on the rotating shaft bracket 4 through the annular groove 35, which is more convenient for taking and placing the rotating shaft 3.

[0033] The inner end 32 of the rotating shaft is cylindrical or conical, and several snap spring grooves 31 are arranged along the circumference.

[0034] The shaft sleeve 7 is provided with a shaft sleeve hole 73, and fixing grooves 71 are arranged along the circumference of the shaft sleeve hole 73. The snap spring 8 is arranged on the fixing grooves 71 and is limited by a limiting member 72.

[0035] The locking part of the snap spring 8 is a protrusion 81, and the bottom of the snap spring groove 31 is an arc groove with a higher front and a lower rear. The arc groove restricts the front and rear movement of the protrusion 81, so that the protrusion of the snap spring 8 is not easily disengaged from the arc groove in the snap spring groove, thereby making it difficult for one end of the rotating shaft to be disengaged from the shaft sleeve 7.

[0036] The rotating shaft motor 6 is fixed on the housing 11 of the main body assembly 1, the shaft sleeve 7 is fixed on the shaft of the rotating shaft motor 6, and the rotating shaft motor 6 is connected to the power supply by a wire. The rotating shaft motor 6 can be started. When the rotating shaft motor 6 rotates, it drives the shaft sleeve 7 to rotate, and finally drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate.

[0037] The connection process between the shaft sleeve hole 73 and the head of the rotating shaft is as Figures 4 - 7As shown in the figure, when the rotating shaft is inserted, it is first guided by the bushing hole and the conical surface of the rotating shaft head ( Figure 4 ), and then pushed forward continuously. The inclined surface of the rotating shaft head will push the circlip outwards ( Figure 5 ), until the rotating shaft is inserted in place. At this time, the circlip abuts against the outer circular surface of the rotating shaft head ( Figure 6 ). After starting the machine, as the bushing rotates, the circlip will slide into the circlip groove on the surface of the rotating shaft, and then the rotational drive between the bushing and the rotating shaft is completed ( Figure 7 ); Therefore, this structure enables the bushing and the rotating shaft to be smoothly inserted and connected at any position.

[0038] When the air fryer is in use, the rotating shaft 3 can be removed from the pot body 21 to fix the food ingredients, and then the rotating shaft 3 is reinstalled on the pot body 21. After inserting the pot body assembly into the cavity 15 of the main machine assembly through the handle 23, the bushing 7 and the rotating shaft 3 will be aligned and connected. After turning on the function that requires the food ingredients to be flipped, the rotating shaft motor rotates to drive the bushing to rotate, and then drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so as to flip the food ingredients placed on the rotating shaft and make the food ingredients heated evenly.

[0039] As Figures 9 - 11 shown, a meat fork 9, a rotating cage 10 or a skewer 101 is fixed on the rotating shaft 3, which is more convenient for fixing various food ingredients.
