Detailed implementation manner

[0039] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope protected by the present utility model.

[0040] As Figures 1-11 shown, the present utility model provides a multi-functional foldable air fryer, including an upper cover assembly and a base assembly; wherein:

[0041] The base assembly includes a bottom plate 1, a rear plate 2 vertically connected to one side of the bottom plate 1, and three side plates movably connected to the other three sides of the bottom plate 1;

[0042] The upper cover assembly is movably connected to the top of the rear plate 2 and can be turned vertically relative to the rear plate 2;

[0043] As Figures 1-5 shown, the three side plates can be turned vertically relative to the bottom plate 1 to enclose a pot body together with the rear plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 when turned upward to the vertical state for frying food; or, as Figures 6-11 shown, when the three side plates are turned downward to the horizontal state, they form a flat grill together with the bottom plate 1 for baking food.

[0044] The multifunctional foldable air fryer provided by the utility model can fold the side plates through the set foldable base assembly and enclose with the bottom plate 1 and the rear plate 2 to form a pot body with an open top, so as to realize the air fryer function for frying food, or fold the base assembly, that is, turn the side plates outward and fold them, so as to form a flat barbecue grill together with the bottom plate 1, thus realizing the barbecue grill function, realizing the function of converting between a conventional air fryer and a barbecue grill, enhancing the interactive function and utilization rate of the air fryer, increasing the usage scenarios of the air fryer, and solving the problems of single usage function and single usage scenario of the air fryer.

[0045] As an optional implementation manner of the utility model, the base assembly further includes a frying barrel 13, which is placed inside the pot body. Specifically, the frying barrel 13 is located below the heating device 9 and is used for storing food; when roasting food, the food is placed in the frying barrel 13 for heating and roasting.

[0046] Considering that some oil may seep out when frying food, in order to prevent the food from being soaked in the oil, a plurality of oil draining holes 12 are provided at the bottom of the frying barrel 13 for filtering oil.

[0047] Furthermore, the oil draining holes 12 can be arranged in multiple rows and columns and are evenly spaced, located at the bottom of the frying barrel 13, or at the bottom and the junction of the side and bottom of the frying barrel 13.

[0048] As Figures 1-11 shown, the upper cover assembly includes an upper shell 6, a control assembly 7, a blower fan 8, and a heating device 9; among them:

[0049] The upper shell 6 is a box structure with an open bottom, and the bottom of the rear side of the upper shell 6 is hinged to the top of the rear plate 2. Through this structural setting, the upper shell 6 can be turned backward relative to the rear plate 2 to open the inner cavity of the pot body, so as to facilitate taking and placing the frying barrel 13, and can be turned forward relative to the rear plate 2 and buckled on the top of the pot body to form a sealed cavity between the pot body and the upper shell 6 for heating and roasting food; of course, in order to prevent heat dissipation, in the utility model, it is best to set a sealing structure at all splicing, connecting, and joining parts; and it should be noted that this sealing structure can achieve sealing while being heat-insulating. Of course, this sealing structure can be realized by using products in the prior art, for example, heat-resistant sealing strips. Of course, other forms of sealing structures can also be used, and no more details will be described here.

[0050] The heating device 9 and the blower fan 8 are sequentially arranged inside the upper shell 6; the heating device 9 is arranged below the blower fan 8 and is used for heating food; specifically, the heating device 9 is arranged close to the pot body side, and the blower fan 8 is located on top of the heating device 9 and is used to drive the air flow inside the air fryer to take away the moisture of the food. The air blown out by the blower fan 8 is heated by the heating device 9 and then blown into the pot body to heat and roast the food in the frying barrel 13;

[0051] The control component 7 is arranged on the top of the upper shell 6 and is electrically connected to the heating device 9 and the blower fan 8, and is used to control the overall logic of the machine. Specifically, the control component 7 is used to control the start and stop of the blower fan 8 and the start time, and is used to control the start and stop and the start time of the heating device 9.

[0052] As Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 shown, further, the rear plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 are connected in a limit sliding manner through the guide rail 10 and the chute 11;

[0053] In order to increase the barbecue area during barbecue, the side plates include a left side plate 3, a right side plate 4 and a front plate 5; among them:

[0054] Chutes 11 are arranged at the connection positions of the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 with the rear plate 2; and the chutes 11 on the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 can be aligned with the chutes 11 on the bottom plate 1 after the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 are laid flat, that is, a relatively long chute 11 is formed, and the guide rail 10 on the rear plate 2 can move along the whole chute 11, that is, the rear plate 2 can reciprocate between the left side plate 3, the bottom plate 1 and the right side plate 4. Through this structural arrangement, the rear plate 2 can drive the upper cover assembly to move left and right, and drive the heating device 9 to move left and right, so as to bake the food located on the bottom plate 1, the left side plate 3 or the right side plate 4.

[0055] Considering that the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 are used to extend the length of the bottom plate 1, so as to increase the barbecue area of the barbecue grill, therefore, the maximum flipping angle between the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 and the bottom plate 1 is 90 degrees, that is, the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 only need to be able to flip relative to the bottom plate 1 to be vertical or horizontal, and the flipping angle only needs to be 90 degrees.

[0056] As Figure 8 shown, since the heating device 9 can only move in a straight line, the horizontal expansion of the front plate 5 has no function and also increases the inconvenience of barbecuing the barbecue grill. Therefore, in this embodiment, the maximum flipping angle between the front plate 5 and the bottom plate 1 is 270 degrees. Through this structural arrangement, the front plate 5 can be flipped to be perpendicular to the bottom plate 1 or folded to the bottom of the bottom plate 1 and parallel to the bottom plate 1. The front plate 5 can play a supporting role when flipped to the bottom.

[0057] The utility model adopts a foldable pot body design to realize the dual use of the pot body as an air fryer and a barbecue grill.

[0058] Considering that the side plates form a pot body when enclosed together, and the pot body is used to bake food and the bottom needs to receive the oil drained from the frying bucket 13. In order to prevent the oil from leaking out from the gaps of the pot body, in this embodiment, sealing structures are arranged at the connection positions of the side plates and the rear plate 2 and at the connection positions of the side plates and the bottom plate 1.

[0059] The sealing structure may be a waterproof and oil-proof sealing structure, as long as it is ensured that the oil does not flow out from the gap. The utility model does not make any specific limitation on which structure to adopt.

[0060] In order to achieve the limited sliding connection up, down, left, and right, in the present embodiment, the slide groove 11 is a T-shaped groove, and similarly, the guide rail 10 is also a T-shaped structure, and the two cooperate to be slidably connected.

[0061] As a further improvement of the present invention, the width of the bottom plate 1 along the front-to-back direction is greater than the width of the front plate along the front-to-back direction.

[0062] It should be noted that the width in the front-to-back direction here refers to Figure 8 The width of the front plate along the front-to-back direction is as shown in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the rear plate 2. Figure 8 The direction perpendicular to the surface of the rear plate 2 is shown by Figure 8 It can be seen that, through the above structural arrangement, when the front plate 5 is folded to the bottom of the bottom plate 1, its end does not exceed the rear of the bottom plate 1, and will not cause surrounding interference.

[0063] When the whole machine is used as an air fryer, the front plate 5, the left plate 3, the right plate 4, the bottom plate 1 and the rear plate 2 are combined to form a box state with the opening upward, which is used to store the grease filtered out of the frying bucket 13. After opening the upper cover assembly, the frying bucket 13 is placed inside, and the food is placed inside the frying bucket 13. The user turns on the whole machine, and at this time, the fan blades 8 and the heating device 9 are turned on to heat and drive the air flow inside the air fryer to take away the moisture of the food and complete the cooking of the food.

[0064] When the whole machine is used as a barbecue grill, the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 form a flat plate shape with the bottom plate 1 for placing food, and the front plate 5 is folded and stored at the bottom of the bottom plate 1 as a pad, and the rear plate 2 is fixed with the upper cover assembly and the bottom plate 1, and is always in a vertical fixed state. When used as a barbecue grill, the user takes out the frying barrel 13. Then flip the left side plate 3 and the right side plate 4 horizontally at 90 degrees to open, and then fold the front plate 5 at 270 degrees to the bottom of the bottom plate 1. The user turns on the whole machine, at this time the fan blade 8 does not run, and the heating device 9 starts to bake food. The user places the food on the plane formed by the left side plate 3, the right side plate 4 and the bottom plate 1 at will. The upper cover assembly and the rear plate 2 combination can be moved through the left side plate 3, the right side plate 4 and the guide rail 10 on the bottom plate 1. The user can adjust the combination position of the upper cover assembly and the rear plate 2 according to their needs.

[0065] The air fryer provided by the present utility model adopts a foldable pot body design, enabling the pot body to serve as both an air fryer and a barbecue grill. By providing guide rails 10 and sliding grooves 11 between the side plate, rear plate 2, and bottom plate 1, the heating device 9 can be moved for use. Users can move the heating device 9 according to the usage scenario. The present utility model realizes the role conversion function between a conventional air fryer and a barbecue grill, enhances the interactive function and utilization rate of the air fryer, increases the usage scenarios of the air fryer, not only solves the problem of inconvenient storage of the air fryer, but also meets the needs of more usage scenarios and improves the utilization rate of the product.
