Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air fryers, in particular to an easy-to-clean air fryer. Background Art

[0002] Existing steam generators used in air fryers, ovens, etc. generally have a steam channel or pipe between the steam generator and the cooking cavity to achieve communication between the steam generator and the cooking cavity so that the steam generator can transport steam to the cooking cavity. Such steam channels or pipes are usually independent structures connected between the steam generator and the cooking cavity. Common ones include flexible silicone tubes or hard plastic tubes. The pipes themselves are closed structures and are difficult to clean inside. Long-term steam transportation will cause scale to accumulate on the inner wall of the pipe, which will lead to unsmooth steam movement, affecting steam transportation efficiency, and even causing pipe blockage.

[0003] For example, existing patent CN212591710U discloses a food processor comprising a head and a base, with a steam generating chamber disposed within the base. In one embodiment, the steam generating chamber is connected to the inner pot via a hose, which serves as a steam passage. In another embodiment, the base is provided with a lower steam passage, and the head is provided with an upper steam passage, which is connected to the upper steam passage and, in turn, to the inner pot to achieve steam delivery. In both of these solutions, the hose, upper steam passage, and lower steam passage are all closed tube structures, making them difficult to clean. Long-term use can lead to scale accumulation within the passages, which can clog the passages and reduce the reliability of steam delivery, a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an easy-to-clean air fryer, aiming to solve the problem that the existing steam channel is formed by a hose or a hard tube, which is a closed structure and the interior cannot be cleaned or is not easy to clean, and the channel is blocked when scale accumulates in the channel.

[0005] The utility model discloses an easy-to-clean air fryer, comprising a machine head and a machine base, wherein the machine head can be opened and closed relative to the machine base, a cooking cavity is provided in the machine base, and a steam generator with a top opening is provided at the upper end of the machine base. When the machine head is closed on the machine base, the machine head and the machine base form a steam channel connecting the steam generator and the cooking cavity, and the machine head and the machine base constitute channel walls of the steam channel.

[0006] The easy-to-clean air fryer of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0007] The top end of the machine base is concave to form a gap with the machine head, and the gap constitutes the steam channel.

[0008] A reflective cover is provided in the machine head. The reflective cover is concave to form a gap with the machine base, and the gap constitutes the steam channel.

[0009] A reflective cover is provided in the machine head, and at least a portion of the reflective cover is provided above the steam generator. A flange is provided at the upper end of the machine base, and the reflective cover and the flange enclose each other to form the steam channel.

[0010] A first heating element is provided in the reflector, and a portion of the first heating element is located above the steam channel so that the first heating element performs secondary heating on the steam in the steam channel.

[0011] The steam generator includes a water storage box with an opening at the top and a second heating element. After the machine head is covered with the machine base, the machine head abuts against the upper part of the water storage box, and the area of the water storage box that is not abutted against the machine head forms an air outlet connected to the steam channel.

[0012] The steam generator includes a water storage box with an open top, a second heating element and an upper cover. The upper cover is detachably covered on the upper end of the water storage box. The upper cover partially covers the water storage box, and the area of the water storage box not covered by the upper cover forms an air outlet connected to the steam channel.

[0013] The steam generator is detachably mounted on the machine base.

[0014] The air fryer is provided with a water tank for supplying water to the steam generator.

[0015] The steam generator is arranged on the rear side of the cooking cavity, and the rear end of the machine head is rotatably connected to the machine base; or, the cooking cavity is provided with an air inlet connected to the steam channel, and a reflective cover and a hot fan arranged in the reflective cover are provided in the machine head, and the air inlet is arranged lower than the hot fan.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In order to solve the problem that the interior of the existing fixed steam channel cannot be cleaned or is not easy to clean, and the channel is blocked when scale accumulates in the channel, the present application forms a steam channel by enclosing the head and the base. The head and the base constitute the channel wall of the steam channel, eliminating the installation and use of a special pipe structure. On the one hand, the head can be opened relative to the base, and the steam channel is divided into two. The channel walls of the head and the base are in an open state and can be exposed for cleaning, which reduces the difficulty of cleaning and can prevent scale accumulation from affecting steam transmission, thereby ensuring steam transmission efficiency; on the other hand, since there is no need to leave a large space between the steam generator and the cooking chamber to arrange a special pipe structure, the internal structure of the air fryer can be made compact, and the whole machine can be miniaturized.

[0018] In addition, the existing steam generators are difficult to clean because they are not removable or are installed in an unreasonable position. The present application sets the steam generator at the upper end of the machine base so that when the machine head is not covered, the steam generator can be exposed so that the user can easily access the steam generator. On this basis, the top of the steam generator is open, and the user can easily clean the scale inside the steam generator, thereby preventing scale accumulation and affecting the thermal conductivity of the steam generator, ensuring the steam generation rate, and timely delivering steam to the cooking chamber through the steam generator, which can prevent the food from becoming dry and woody due to excessive internal moisture loss, and can improve the taste of food.

[0019] 2. As a preferred embodiment, the top of the base is concave to form a gap with the die head, and the gap is used as a steam passage. The concave top of the base provides conditions for forming a steam passage and can also reduce the material used for the base and save costs.

[0020] 3. As a preferred embodiment, a reflector is provided within the machine head. The reflector is concave upward to form a gap with the machine base, which serves as a steam passage. The concave portion of the reflector provides conditions for forming a steam passage and can also reduce the material used for the reflector, saving costs.

[0021] 4. Generally, when the handpiece cover is closed, it seals the opening at the top of the steam generator. When the steam generator outputs steam through its outlet, the steam output per unit time is relatively low. To improve steam output efficiency, a preferred embodiment includes a reflector disposed within the handpiece, the reflector at least partially covering the steam generator. The upper end of the handpiece base is provided with a flange, and the reflector and flange together form the steam passage. Specifically, by at least partially covering the steam generator, the reflector directly connects the steam generator and the reflector, facilitating increased steam output per unit time. Steam flows to the cooking chamber through the steam passage formed by the reflector and flange. This shortens the steam flow path, shortening the time it takes for steam to reach the cooking chamber and accelerating steam contact with food.

[0022] To provide secondary heating of the steam entering the steam passage, raising its temperature and vaporizing any remaining water droplets within the steam, thereby increasing steam output, a preferred embodiment of this embodiment includes a first heating element within the reflector. Part of the first heating element is positioned above the steam passage, providing secondary heating of the steam within the passage. Using the same heating element to provide both the heat required for the cooking chamber and the secondary heating of the steam improves heat utilization and reduces costs.

[0023] 5. Since the top of the steam generator is open, under the premise of meeting normal gas outlet, in order to prevent the opening on the top of the steam generator from being in an open state all the time and causing excessive steam loss, it is generally necessary to set a cover to cover the opening. In order to simplify the structural configuration, the special cover is omitted, and the machine head can be used as a cover to cover the opening after the cover is closed.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the steam generator includes a water storage box with an open top and a second heating element. When the handpiece is closed onto the base, the handpiece abuts against a portion of the upper end of the water storage box, and the area of the water storage box not abutting the handpiece forms an outlet connected to the steam channel. Thus, when the handpiece is closed, the handpiece partially blocks the opening to reduce steam loss, while the area not abutting the handpiece allows the water storage box to output steam, ensuring reliable steam delivery.

[0025] 6. To further enhance cleaning convenience, as a preferred embodiment, the steam generator is detachably mounted on the base. This allows the user to remove the steam generator for cleaning, which is more convenient and helps optimize the cleaning effect.

[0026] 7. To save users the trouble of adding water and free their hands, as a preferred embodiment, the air fryer is equipped with a water tank for supplying water to the steam generator. This automatic water supply from the water tank enables intelligent operation, reducing the user's burden while ensuring a continuous water supply, thus preventing insufficient steam from affecting the taste of food due to water shortage or untimely water supply.

[0027] 8. In order to improve the sealing effect at the top opening of the steam generator and avoid steam leakage caused by steam overflow, a special cover can be provided to cover the opening and reduce steam loss. As a preferred embodiment, the steam generator includes a water storage box with a top opening, a second heating element and an upper cover, wherein the upper cover is detachably provided on the upper end of the water storage box, the upper cover partially covers the water storage box, and the area of the water storage box not covered by the upper cover forms an air outlet connected to the steam channel. A special upper cover is provided, which has a good match with the water storage box and can avoid steam loss caused by the water storage box not being covered tightly due to processing errors in the machine head. The upper cover has a good sealing effect with the water storage box in the part covered by the upper cover, which reduces the probability of steam overflow and ensures the efficiency of steam supply to the cooking chamber.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present application provides an easy-to-clean air fryer, including a head 10 and a base 11. The head 10 can be opened and closed relative to the base 11. A cooking cavity 12 is provided in the base 11. A steam generator 13 with a top opening is provided at the upper end of the base 11. When the head 10 is closed on the base 11, the head 10 and the base 11 enclose a steam channel 14 connecting the steam generator 13 and the cooking cavity 12. The head 10 and the base 11 constitute the channel wall of the steam channel 14.

[0044] In order to solve the problem that the interior of the existing fixed steam channel cannot be cleaned or is not easy to clean, and the channel is blocked when scale accumulates in the channel, the present application forms a steam channel 14 by enclosing the head 10 and the base 11. The head 10 and the base 11 constitute the channel wall of the steam channel 14, eliminating the installation and use of a special pipe structure. On the one hand, the head can be opened relative to the base. After the head 10 is opened, the channel wall is open. The channel walls of the head and the base are open and can be exposed for cleaning, which reduces the difficulty of cleaning and avoids scale accumulation affecting steam delivery, thereby ensuring steam delivery efficiency. On the other hand, since there is no need to leave a large space between the steam generator and the cooking cavity to arrange a special pipe structure, the compactness of the internal structure of the air fryer can be promoted, and the miniaturization of the entire machine can be achieved.

[0045] Existing steam channels are generally formed by silicone hoses, which cannot be opened to the outside and are therefore difficult to clean. This application solves the problem of difficult channel wall cleaning by opening the channel wall after the head 10 is opened. After the head 10 is closed, the head 10 and the base 11 form a complete channel wall, which can meet the needs of steam delivery.

[0046] In addition, the existing steam generators are difficult to clean because they are not removable or are installed in an unreasonable position. The present application sets the steam generator 13 at the upper end of the machine base 11, so that when the machine head 10 is not covered, the steam generator 13 can be exposed so that the user can easily access the steam generator 13. On this basis, the top of the steam generator 13 is opened, and the user can easily clean the scale inside the steam generator 13, thereby preventing scale accumulation and affecting the thermal conductivity of the steam generator 13, ensuring the steam generation rate, and timely delivering steam to the cooking chamber 12 through the steam generator 13, which can prevent the food from becoming dry and tough due to excessive internal moisture loss, and improve the taste of food.

[0047] Specifically, in some embodiments, the head 10 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the head 10 can be flipped open or closed. Figure 1As shown, the rear end of the handpiece 10 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the steam generator 13 is located on the rear side of the cooking chamber 12 near the rear end of the base 11. When the user flips the handpiece 10 to open it, condensed water formed on the inner surface of the handpiece 10 can flow along the handpiece 10 to the steam generator 13, thereby collecting the condensed water and preventing it from flowing to other areas of the base 11 and increasing the user's cleaning burden. In other embodiments, the handpiece 10 can be removed from the base 11 as a whole, making it easier to clean the handpiece 10. Furthermore, a hot air assembly is provided in the handpiece 10, which includes a hot air fan 16 and a first heating element 17, which is used to form circulating hot air in the cooking chamber 12 for cooking food. The water source in the steam generator 13 can be tap water, purified water, etc., without any restrictions. The water in the steam generator 13 can be added manually by the user or transported from the water tank 19, which is not limited in this application.

[0048] To simplify the internal structure of the machine head 10 and base 11 without adding additional structures, as a preferred embodiment, when the machine head 10 and base 11 are closed, a gap is formed between them to form a steam passage 14. This gap is formed in the space between the cooking chamber 12 and the steam generator 13, where one of the machine head 10 and base 11 is partially free of contact due to a clearance structure. Forming the steam passage 14 by utilizing the clearance between the machine head 10 and base 11 eliminates the need for a dedicated piping structure, saves piping space, reduces the volume of the machine head 10 and base 11, and dynamically forms the steam passage 14. This facilitates cleaning after the machine head 10 is opened. Furthermore, after the machine head 10 is opened, the interior of the base 11 is simple and free of excessive components, resulting in a better visual effect.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , as a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the top of the base 11 is concave to form a gap with the head 10. The concave top of the base 11 provides a gap forming condition and can also reduce the material used for the base 11 to save costs.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, a reflector 15 is provided in the machine head 10, and the reflector 15 is concave to form a gap with the machine base 11. The concave portion of the reflector 15 provides a condition for forming a gap, and can also reduce the material used for the reflector 15 to save costs.

[0051] Generally, after the head 10 is closed, the head 10 can seal the opening at the top of the steam generator 13. When the steam generator 13 outputs steam through the air outlet thereon, the amount of steam output per unit time is small. In order to improve the steam output efficiency, as a preferred embodiment, a reflective cover 15 is provided in the head 10, and the reflective cover 15 is at least partially covered above the steam generator 13. A flange 18 is provided at the upper end of the base 11, and the reflective cover 15 and the flange 18 enclose a steam channel 14.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the reflective cover 15 is at least partially covered above the steam generator 13, so that the steam generator 13 and the reflective cover 15 can be directly connected, which is beneficial to increase the amount of steam output per unit time. The steam flows to the cooking cavity 12 through the steam channel 14 formed by the reflective cover 15 and the flange 18. The steam flow path is short, which can shorten the time for the steam to reach the cooking cavity 12 and accelerate the contact between the steam and the food.

[0053] In order to obtain secondary heating of the steam entering the steam channel 14, to increase the temperature of the steam and to heat and vaporize the water droplets that are not completely vaporized in the steam, thereby increasing the steam output, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a first heating element 17 is provided in the reflector 15. A portion of the first heating element 17 is located above the steam passage 14 so that the first heating element 17 can reheat the steam in the steam passage 14. Using the same heating element to provide the heat required by the cooking chamber 12 and the heat for the steam reheating improves heat utilization while saving costs.

[0054] Since the top of the steam generator 13 is open, under the premise of satisfying normal gas outlet, in order to prevent the opening on the top of the steam generator 13 from being in an open state all the time and causing excessive loss of steam, it is generally necessary to set a cover to cover the opening. In order to simplify the structural configuration, a special cover is omitted, and the head 10 can be used as a cover to cover the opening after being closed.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the steam generator 13 includes a water storage box 131 with an opening at the top and a second heating element 132. After the machine head 10 is covered with the machine base 11, the machine head 10 abuts against the upper part of the water storage box 131, and the area where the water storage box 131 is not abutted against the machine head 10 forms an air outlet 134 connected to the steam channel 14.

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, the top of the side wall of the water storage box 131 close to the cooking cavity 12 is recessed to form an air outlet 134 at this position. One end of the steam channel 14 is connected to the air outlet 134, and the other end is connected to the air inlet 121 on the side wall of the cooking cavity 12. The other areas of the water storage box 131 are shielded by the machine head 10 to prevent steam from overflowing from these positions, so that steam can only flow out from the air outlet 134. Furthermore, a reflector 15 is provided in the machine head, and a hot fan 16 and a first heating element 17 are provided in the reflector 15. Preferably, the air inlet 121 is arranged lower than the hot fan 16, so that when steam enters the cooking cavity 12 through the air inlet 121, the hot fan 16 can blow the steam downward toward the food, so as to accelerate the contact between the steam and the food, and avoid part of the steam being blown upward and flowing back, resulting in a reduction in the amount of available steam, which affects the heating effect on the food.

[0057] To further improve the convenience of cleaning, as a preferred embodiment, the steam generator 13 is detachably mounted on the base 11. Thus, the user can remove the steam generator 13 for cleaning, which is more convenient and conducive to optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0058] To save the user the trouble of adding water and free up their hands, as a preferred embodiment, the air fryer is provided with a water tank 19 for supplying water to the steam generator 13. The water tank 19 automatically supplies water to the steam generator 13, realizing intelligent operation, which not only reduces the burden on the user but also ensures a continuous water supply, thus avoiding insufficient steam caused by water shortage or untimely water supply, which affects the taste of food.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the water tank 19 is arranged at the lower end of the base 11, and a water pipeline 20, a water pump 21 and other structures are provided between the water tank 19 and the steam generator 13. The user can operate the smart button to realize the water supply from the water tank 19 to the steam generator 13.

[0060] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 19 is arranged in the head 10, and the water tank 19 is arranged higher than the steam generator 13. The water tank 19 and the water storage box 131 of the steam generator 13 can use the communicating vessel principle to fill water into the water storage box 131. Specifically, when the water level in the water storage box 131 is higher than the communicating port, the water tank 19 no longer fills water into the water storage box 131. As the water in the water storage box 131 evaporates and the water level drops, the water tank 19 starts to fill water into the water storage box 131 again. This is repeated, and the amount of water intake can be effectively controlled.

[0061] In order to improve the sealing effect of the top opening of the steam generator 13 and prevent steam from overflowing and causing steam loss, a special cover can be provided to cover the opening and reduce steam loss. As a preferred embodiment, the steam generator 13 includes a water storage box 131 with a top opening, a second heating element 132 and an upper cover 133. The upper cover 133 is detachably covered on the upper end of the water storage box 131. The upper cover 133 partially covers the water storage box 131. The area of the water storage box 131 not covered by the upper cover 133 forms an air outlet 22 connected to the steam channel 14. Figure 5 As shown, a dedicated upper cover 133 is provided, which has a good match with the water storage box 131, and can avoid steam loss caused by the water storage box 131 not being tightly covered due to processing errors in the machine head 10. The part covered by the upper cover 133 has a good sealing effect between the upper cover 133 and the water storage box 131, which reduces the probability of steam overflow and ensures the efficiency of steam supply to the cooking cavity 12.

[0062] The technical solutions protected by this utility model are not limited to the above-described embodiments. It should be noted that the combination of the technical solutions of any one embodiment with the technical solutions of one or more other embodiments falls within the scope of protection of this utility model. Although the above description of this utility model has been provided in detail using general instructions and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements can be made based on this utility model. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
