Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an air fryer with an optimized structure. Background Art

[0002] The air fryer is a high-tech cooking tool. Its principle is to replace the hot oil in the frying pan with air, and use convection heating similar to the hot air from the sun to form a rapidly circulating heat flow in the closed pot to cook the food. At the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the ingredients can achieve a fried effect without boiling oil.

[0003] Existing air fryers typically feature a cooking slot on the front of the unit for mounting the fryer. This requires ample clearance in front of, on both sides, and to ensure smooth insertion and removal of the fryer. However, in smaller kitchens, the air fryer's access space is often blocked by other kitchen items, making it difficult to remove and insert the fryer.

[0004] Furthermore, existing air fryers typically feature a handle on the fryer assembly to facilitate pulling the fryer assembly out of the cooking chamber. However, existing handles are typically designed with an outward-facing, L-shaped, single-point fixing structure. This design presents two problems: First, the outward-facing handle takes up a lot of space, requiring more storage space for the entire air fryer, making it unsuitable for families with small kitchens. Second, the L-shaped single-point fixing structure provides poor stability and durability, often becoming loose or even falling off after prolonged use. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to fully understand the present invention, many details are described below, but for those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without these details.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An optimized air fryer comprises a main body 1 and a fryer assembly 2. The main body 1 is provided with a cooking trough 10, within which the fryer assembly 2 is mounted. The sidewall of the main body 1 is angled, with the cooking trough 10 opening formed at the angle. The fryer assembly 2 can be pulled out diagonally from the angle or horizontally from two angled lines corresponding to the angle, making operation more convenient and flexible. It is suitable for a variety of environments and can meet the needs of small kitchens.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the body 1 has a first side wall 11 and a second side wall 12 that are connected to each other. The notch of the cooking trough 10 is opened at the angle between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. Therefore, the notch of the cooking trough 10 is roughly L-shaped. The fryer group 2 can be pulled out obliquely from the angle between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 of the body 1, or can be pulled out horizontally directly from the first side wall 11 or the second side wall 12.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A recessed handle 21 is provided at a corner of the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2. This recessed design eliminates the need for the handle 21 to protrude outward, effectively saving space and storage, making the air fryer suitable for families with limited kitchen space. The handle 21, recessed into the corner of the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2, not only meets the practical requirements of the multi-directional operation of the fryer assembly 2 in this embodiment, but also fully utilizes the space in the corner, thus overcoming the problem of the recessed handle 21 occupying the internal space of the fryer assembly 2 and reducing the capacity of the fryer assembly 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In practical applications, the fryer assembly 2 and handle 21 can be designed as either an integrated or split-body structure. In the integrated design, a recessed portion can be provided on the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2, and the handle 21 can be formed using the concave-convex structure of the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2. In the split-body design, a mounting groove 20 can be provided on the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2, and the handle 21 can be fixedly mounted or removably embedded in the mounting groove 20. As a preferred solution, this embodiment adopts a split-body design, whereby a mounting groove 20 recessed into the cooking tank 10 is provided at an angle on the outer wall of the fryer assembly 2, and the handle 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 20.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The handle 21 includes a handle base 211 and a handle column 212. The handle base 211 is embedded in the mounting slot 20 and is provided with a handle groove 213 that matches the mounting slot 20. Both ends of the handle column 212 are fixed in the handle groove 213. This utility model changes the L-shaped single-point fixing structure of the handle 21 in the prior art and simultaneously fixes both ends of the handle column 212 in the handle groove 213, thereby ensuring the overall firmness and durability of the handle 21. To facilitate pulling and pulling operations, the handle column 212 in this embodiment is designed to be oriented along the height direction of the body 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a preferred solution, the handle base 211 and the handle column 212 are an integrally formed structure. More precisely, the handle base 211 and the handle column 212 are integrally injection molded, so the handle 21 as a whole has higher firmness and stability.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The edge of the mounting slot 20 is provided with a recessed portion 201 and a plurality of latching slots 202. The handle base 211 is embedded within the recessed portion 201 and is equipped with latching hooks 214 that engage with the latching slots 202. This design not only allows for concealed installation of the handle 21 but also ensures a more compact and efficient fit between the handle base 211 and the fryer assembly 2. The handle base 211 is equipped with a plurality of retaining bumps 231, and the recessed portion 201 is provided with a plurality of retaining slots that mate with the retaining bumps 231. This prevents misalignment and facilitates quick and accurate assembly of the handle base 211 and the fryer assembly 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting groove 20 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, the handle base 211 is provided with a plurality of connecting columns 215, and the handle base 211 is fixed in the mounting groove 20 by bolts (not shown) in conjunction with the connecting columns 215 and the mounting holes. Such a design can further ensure the firmness and stability between the handle base 211 and the fryer group 2.

[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The fryer assembly 2 includes a fryer body 22, a mounting bracket 23, and a panel 24. The panel 24 is secured to the outer wall of the fryer body 22 via the mounting bracket 23. Both the panel 24 and the mounting bracket 23 are L-shaped, matching the notches in the cooking tub 10. This design enhances the structural stability of the fryer assembly 2 and provides a more compact and efficient fit between the fryer assembly 2 and the cooking tub 10. In this embodiment, mounting slots 20 for the handle 21 are located at the angle between the outer walls of the panel 24 and the mounting bracket 23. The inner and outer walls of the fryer body 22 remain smooth and free of uneven surfaces, making it easier to clean the interior of the fryer body 22 without occupying the internal space of the fryer body 22, thereby maximizing the capacity of the fryer assembly 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The bottom edge of the cooking groove 10 is provided with several limiting pins 101, and the bottom edge of the frying pot group 2 is provided with several limiting holes adapted to the limiting pins 101, thereby achieving a limiting effect and preventing the frying pot group 2 from sliding out of the cooking groove 10 during cooking.

[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The cooking tub 10 is provided with a sensor switch 102, and the fryer assembly 2 is provided with a protrusion 231 that abuts the sensor switch 102. When the fryer assembly 2 is installed, the protrusion 231 abuts the sensor switch 102, turning on the sensor switch 102 and preparing the heating device in the cooking tub 10 for operation. In this embodiment, the sensor switch 102 is positioned at the angle between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 of the machine body 1, and the protrusion 231 is positioned at the top of the angle on the fixing bracket 23. Therefore, regardless of whether the fryer assembly 2 is installed diagonally or parallel to the machine body, the protrusion 231 abuts the sensor switch 102.

[0037] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
