Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and particularly relates to a housing and an air fryer. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the housing of an air fryer generally includes side plates, a top plate and a front panel. Two side plates and the top plate are integrally injection molded into a U-shaped part, and the front panel is a separate part and is adapted to be detachably connected to the U-shaped part. However, in this setting, feet are integrally formed at the lower ends of the side plates, which not only makes the structure of the U-shaped part complex, but also makes the size of the U-shaped part in the height direction large, requiring a large-tonnage mold, and further making the housing have the defects of low forming efficiency of components and high mold cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent.

[0004] To this end, an embodiment of the utility model provides a housing, which has the advantages of low forming efficiency of each component and low required mold cost.

[0005] An embodiment of the utility model further provides an air fryer.

[0006] The housing of the embodiment of the utility model includes an upper housing and second side plates. The upper housing is integrally formed and includes a top plate and two first side plates. The upper ends of the two first side plates are respectively connected to the two opposite ends of the top plate along a first direction. There are two second side plates and they are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The second side plates correspond to the first side plates one by one. The upper ends of the second side plates are detachably connected to the lower ends of the corresponding first side plates.

[0007] The housing according to the embodiment of the utility model includes an upper housing and two second side plates. The two first side plates in the upper housing correspond to the two first side plates one by one. The first side plates are connected to the corresponding second side plates to complete the assembly of the housing. In other words, the side plates on any side of the housing are split into first side plates and second side plates. At this time, the size of the upper housing integrally formed by the top plate and the two first side plates in the height direction, and the size of the second side plates in the height direction are both smaller than the size of the housing in the height direction. Thus, the mold tonnage required for manufacturing the upper housing and the second side plates is smaller, and the mold cost is lower. Moreover, the housing is split into three components, namely the upper housing and two second side plates, to be formed separately. The structure of each component is simpler and the forming efficiency is higher.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper housing further includes a panel, and each of the top plate and the two first side plates is connected to the panel. The panel provided in the outer shell of the present utility model is also part of the upper housing, that is, the panel, the top plate, and the two first side plates are integrally formed, thereby reducing the process of connecting the panel to other components and improving the assembly efficiency of the outer shell. At the same time, it also prevents gaps from forming between the panel and adjacent components, making the outer shape of the upper housing more aesthetically pleasing.

[0009] In some embodiments, a first connecting member is provided on the inner side surface of the first side plate, and a second connecting member is provided on the inner side surface of the second side plate. A first mounting hole is provided on the first connecting member, and a second mounting hole is provided on the second connecting member. The first connecting member is connected to the second connecting member through a fastener fitted in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The outer shell of the present utility model realizes the connection between the first side plate and the corresponding second side plate by connecting the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member are respectively located inside the first side plate and the second side plate, thereby hiding the fastener inside the outer shell and effectively ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the outer shell.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first mounting hole is a threaded hole. The first connecting member includes a limiting post spaced apart from the first side plate, and the limiting post extends in the height direction. The first mounting hole is provided on the lower end surface of the limiting post, and the limiting post is fitted in the second mounting hole. The fastener includes a bolt, the rod portion of the bolt passes through the second mounting hole and is in threaded cooperation with the first mounting hole, and the head of the bolt abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting member. The outer shell of the present utility model is provided with the cooperation between the limiting post and the second mounting hole, which ensures the relative fixation of the first side plate and the second side plate in the radial direction of the limiting post. At this time, the threaded member connecting the limiting post and the second connecting member only needs to ensure the relative fixation of the first side plate and the second side plate in the axial and circumferential directions of the limiting post, and the connection strength between the first side plate and the second side plate is higher.

[0011] In some embodiments, there are at least two first connecting members arranged at intervals in the second direction, and the second direction, the first direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs. The outer shell of the present utility model is provided with at least two first connecting members corresponding to each first side plate, and the insertion fit between the two limiting posts and the corresponding second mounting holes further ensures the relative fixation of the first side plate and the second side plate in the radial and circumferential directions of the limiting posts, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is provided on one of the lower end surface of the first side panel and the upper end surface of the second side panel, and the width direction of the limiting groove is consistent with the width direction of the first side panel, and a convex strip is provided on the other of the lower end surface of the first side panel and the upper end surface of the second side panel, and the convex strip fits in the limiting groove. The housing of the utility model effectively ensures the relative fixation of the lower end of the first side panel and the upper end of the second side panel in the first direction by providing matching convex strips and limiting grooves, thereby effectively avoiding the first side panel and the second side panel from being misaligned or shaking in the first direction to affect the appearance of the housing, and also further improves the connection strength of the first side panel and the second side panel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the convex strip is arranged on the lower end surface of the first side panel, the convex strip is spaced apart from the outer side surface of the first side panel, and the outer side surface of the first side panel and the outer side surface of the second side panel are coplanar. In the shell of the utility model, the outer side surface of the first side panel and the outer side surface of the second side panel are coplanar, that is, the outer sides of the two are smoothly connected, which further improves the appearance of the shell at the joint of the first side panel and the second side panel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the end of the first side panel away from the panel is provided with a first folded edge extending toward the other first side panel, the end of the top panel away from the panel is provided with a second folded edge extending downward, the end of the second side panel away from the panel is provided with a third folded edge extending toward the other second side panel, the first folded edge is connected to the second folded edge, and the lower end surface of the first folded edge is in close contact with the upper end surface of the third folded edge. The shell of the utility model effectively improves the anti-bending strength and support strength of each of the top panel, the first side panel and the second side panel by providing the first folded edge, the second folded edge and the third folded edge, and the overall structural strength of the shell is higher.

[0015] In some embodiments, the convex strip extends to the lower end surface of the first folded edge, and the limiting groove extends to the upper end surface of the third folded edge.

[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0026] The following will be combined with Figures 1 - 5 Describe the housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0027] The housing of the embodiment of the present utility model includes an upper housing 1 and a second side plate 2. The upper housing 1 is integrally formed and includes a top plate 11 and two first side plates 12. The upper ends of the two first side plates 12 are respectively connected to the two opposite ends of the top plate 11 along a first direction. There are two second side plates 2 which are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The second side plates 2 correspond to the first side plates 12 one by one. The upper ends of the second side plates 2 are detachably connected to the lower ends of the corresponding first side plates 12.

[0028] The housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an upper housing 1 and two second side plates 2. The two first side plates 12 in the upper housing 1 correspond to the two first side plates 12 one by one. The first side plate 12 is connected to the corresponding second side plate 2 to complete the assembly of the housing. In other words, the side plate on any side of the housing is split into a first side plate 12 and a second side plate 2. At this time, the dimension of the upper housing 1 integrally formed by the top plate 11 and the two first side plates 12 in the height direction, and the dimension of the second side plate 2 in the height direction are both smaller than the dimension of the housing in the height direction. Thereby, the die tonnage required for manufacturing the upper housing 1 and the second side plate 2 is smaller, and the die cost is lower. Moreover, the housing is split into three components, namely the upper housing 1 and the two second side plates 2, which are respectively formed. The structure of each component is simpler, and the forming efficiency is higher.

[0029] It should be noted that both the upper housing 1 and the second side plate 2 are injection molded. A foot pad is integrally injection molded at the lower end of the second side plate 2. The dimension of the second side plate 2 in the height direction is greater than the dimension of the first side plate 12 in the height direction. The dimension of the first side plate 12 in the height direction is equal to the dimension of the panel 13 in the height direction.

[0030] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 the direction indicated by arrow A in [Figure] is the first direction of the housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 the direction indicated by arrow B in [Figure] is the height direction of the housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 the direction indicated by arrow C in [Figure] is the second direction of the housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the upper housing 1 further includes a panel 13, and each of the top plate 11 and the two first side plates 12 is connected to the panel 13.

[0032] That is to say, the panel 13, the top plate 11 and the two first side plates 12 are all integrally formed, thereby reducing the process of connecting the panel 13 with other components, and the assembly efficiency of the housing is higher. At the same time, it also makes no gap between the panel 13 and adjacent components, and the appearance beauty of the upper housing 1 is higher.

[0033] Exemplarily, the lower end faces of the two first side plates 12 and the lower end face of the panel 13 are coplanar. The structures of the two first side plates 12 are the same and are symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane perpendicular to the first direction in a mirror image manner.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, a first connecting member 16 is provided on the inner side surface of the first side plate 12, and a second connecting member 21 is provided on the inner side surface of the second side plate 2. A first mounting hole 162 is provided on the first connecting member 16, and a second mounting hole 211 is provided on the second connecting member 21. The first connecting member 16 is connected to the second connecting member 21 by a fastener fitted in the first mounting hole 162 and the second mounting hole 211.

[0035] The connection between the first side plate 12 and the corresponding second side plate 2 is achieved by connecting the first connecting member 16 and the second connecting member 21. The first connecting member 16 and the second connecting member 21 are respectively located inside the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2, thereby hiding the fastener inside the housing and effectively ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the housing.

[0036] Exemplarily, the first connecting member 16 and the first side plate 12 are integrally formed, and the second connecting member 21 and the second side plate 2 are integrally formed. After the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 are butted, both the first mounting hole 162 and the second mounting hole 211 extend along the height direction and are coaxial.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 - 5 shown, the first mounting hole 162 is a threaded hole. The first connecting member 16 includes a limiting post 161 spaced apart from the first side plate 12. The limiting post 161 extends along the height direction, and the first mounting hole 162 is provided on the lower end surface of the limiting post 161. The limiting post 161 is fitted in the second mounting hole 211. The fastener includes a bolt. The rod portion of the bolt passes through the second mounting hole 211 and is in threaded cooperation with the first mounting hole 162, and the head of the bolt abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting member 21.

[0038] The cooperation between the limiting post 161 and the second mounting hole 211 ensures the relative fixation of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 in the radial direction of the limiting post 161. At this time, the threaded member connecting the limiting post 161 and the second connecting member 21 only needs to ensure the relative fixation of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 in the axial and circumferential directions of the limiting post 161, and the connection strength between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 is higher.

[0039] Exemplarily, the limiting post 161 is inserted into the corresponding second mounting hole 211 from bottom to top, and the lower end surface of the limiting post 161 does not protrude from the lower end surface of the second mounting hole 211. The bolt passes through the second mounting hole 211 and is in threaded cooperation with the threaded hole until the head of the bolt abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting member 21, that is, the fastening connection between the first connecting member 16 and the second connecting member 21 is realized.

[0040] In some embodiments, there are at least two first connecting members 16 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the second direction, the first direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0041] Each first side plate 12 corresponds to at least two first connecting members 16. The insertion fit between the two limit posts 161 and the corresponding second mounting holes 211 further ensures the relative fixation of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 in the radial and circumferential directions of the limit posts 161, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2.

[0042] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, two first connecting members 16 arranged at intervals in the second direction are provided on each first side plate 12. The arrangement of the two first connecting members 16 can not only ensure the relative fixation of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 in the circumferential direction of the limit posts 161, but also will not increase the structural complexity of the upper housing 1 due to the excessive number of first connecting members 16, thereby further improving the forming efficiency of the upper housing 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, a limit groove 22 is provided on one of the lower end surface of the first side plate 12 and the upper end surface of the second side plate 2. The width direction of the limit groove 22 is the same as the width direction of the first side plate 12. A rib 121 is provided on the other of the lower end surface of the first side plate 12 and the upper end surface of the second side plate 2. The rib 121 is fitted in the limit groove 22.

[0044] The cooperating rib 121 and limit groove 22 effectively ensure the relative fixation of the lower end of the first side plate 12 and the upper end of the second side plate 2 in the first direction, and further effectively prevent the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 from being misaligned or shaken in the first direction, which affects the appearance beauty of the housing. At the same time, the connection strength between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 is also further improved.

[0045] Exemplarily, the rib 121 is provided on the lower end surface of the first side plate 12, and the dimension of the rib 121 in the second direction is equal to the dimension of the first side plate 12 in the second direction. The limit groove 22 is provided on the upper end surface of the second side plate 2, and the limit groove 22 extends along the second direction to both edges of the second side plate 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the rib 121 is provided on the lower end surface of the first side plate 12, and the rib 121 is spaced apart from the outer side surface of the first side plate 12. The outer side surfaces of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2 are coplanar. That is, the outer side surfaces of the two are smoothly connected, thereby further improving the appearance beauty of the housing at the docking portion of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 2.

[0047] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown, the inner side surface of the rib 121 is smoothly connected to the inner side surface of the first side plate 12, and the thickness of the rib 121 is greater than or equal to half of the thickness of the first side plate 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, asFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , at one end of the first side plate 12 facing away from the panel 13, there is a first folded edge 14 extending towards the other first side plate 12. At one end of the top plate 11 facing away from the panel 13, there is a second folded edge 15 extending downwards. At one end of the second side plate 2 facing away from the panel 13, there is a third folded edge 3 extending towards the other second side plate 2. The first folded edge 14 and the second folded edge 15 are joined, and the lower end surface of the first folded edge 14 is in fitting contact with the upper end surface of the third folded edge 3.

[0049] By providing the first folded edge 14, the second folded edge 15, and the third folded edge 3, the anti-bending strength and the support strength of each of the top plate 11, the first side plate 12, and the second side plate 2 are effectively improved, and the overall structural strength of the housing is higher.

[0050] Exemplarily, the first folded edge 14, the second folded edge 15, and the third folded edge 3 are all perpendicular to the second direction, and screw holes for connecting with the rear cover are provided on the first folded edge 14 and the third folded edge 3.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, the rib 121 extends to the lower end surface of the first folded edge 14, and the limiting groove 22 extends to the upper end surface of the third folded edge 3.

[0052] By providing the cooperation of the rib 121 and the limiting groove 22 at the junction of the first folded edge 14 and the third folded edge 3, the relative fixation of the first folded edge 14 and the third folded edge 3 in the thickness direction of the first folded edge 14 is ensured. The first folded edge 14 and the third folded edge 3 are less likely to be misaligned or shaken in the thickness direction of the first folded edge 14, and the splicing reliability of the two is higher.

[0053] Exemplarily, the length of the rib 121 on the lower end surface of the first folded edge 14 is equal to the width of the first folded edge 14, and the extending length of the limiting groove 22 on the upper end surface of the third folded edge 3 is equal to the width of the third folded edge 3.
