[0002] As people's living standards improve, the oil-free cooking method of air fryers is becoming more and more popular. However, among the existing air fryers, most air fryers do not have a visual function. Users cannot check the cooking status of food in the cooking cavity when using it. They can only rely on experience to cook, resulting in poor cooking effects and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application provides a highly practical visual air fryer to solve the technical problems of poor thermal insulation and safety of existing air fryers and poor user experience.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a highly practical visual air fryer, comprising a body, a cooking cavity opened at the inner side of the body, and a hot air circulation system connected to the cooking cavity for conveying a circulating heat flow into the cooking cavity. A visual port connected to the cooking cavity is provided above the side opening of the cooking cavity, a visual component for closing the visual port is provided at the visual port, an air duct plate is provided at the top of the cooking cavity, the visual component comprises an inner perspective plate provided above the air duct plate to close the inner side of the visual port, and an outer perspective plate provided on the outer side wall of the body to close the outer side of the visual port, a window frame is provided between the inner perspective plate and the outer perspective plate, the outer perspective plate, the inner perspective plate and the window frame are suitable for forming an insulating cavity, and an annular seal is provided between the window frame and the inner perspective plate. The air fryer is provided with the viewing port connected to the cooking cavity on the body, and the viewing component that closes the viewing port is provided at the viewing port, so that the situation in the cooking cavity can be visualized, so that the user can better cook food, effectively improving the food cooking effect and user experience; at the same time, by providing the sealing member between the window frame and the inner perspective plate, the window frame and the inner perspective plate can be sealed, which not only prevents the high-temperature heat flow in the cooking cavity from flowing out of the cooking cavity, thereby affecting the normal operation of the electrical components outside the cooking cavity, but also prevents the water vapor in the cooking cavity from flowing out into the insulation cavity, thereby affecting the visual effect of the viewing component, and effectively improving the user experience; in addition, by providing the insulation cavity between the outer perspective plate, the inner perspective plate and the window frame, it is possible to reduce the risk of high temperature in the cooking cavity being transferred outward, causing the surface temperature of the body to be too high, thereby causing burns to the user, and effectively improving the safety of the air fryer.
[0005] In an optional embodiment, a sealing groove is provided on a side of the window frame opposite the inner perspective panel, and the sealing member is adapted to be disposed within the sealing groove. The sealing groove is adapted to position the sealing member for installation, effectively reducing the difficulty of installing the sealing member. Furthermore, the sealing groove is adapted to limit the position of the sealing member, reducing the possibility of poor sealing due to deformation of the sealing member during installation, thereby effectively improving the sealing stability of the sealing member.
[0006] In an optional embodiment, the seal has an annular groove on its inner side that matches the inner see-through plate. The seal is adapted to be sleeved onto the periphery of the inner see-through plate through the annular groove. Sleeving the seal onto the periphery of the inner see-through plate enables a sealed connection between the inner see-through plate, the air duct plate, and the window frame, effectively improving the seal's sealing stability and effectiveness.
[0007] In an optional embodiment, the window frame is provided with a mounting groove that matches the lower portion of the outer perspective panel, and the lower portion of the outer perspective panel is sealed and restrained within the mounting groove. The mounting groove is adapted to position and / or limit the outer perspective panel. Positioning and / or limiting the outer perspective panel through the mounting groove not only effectively reduces the difficulty of installing the outer perspective panel, but also improves the structural stability of the visual component and the performance stability of the air fryer, effectively enhancing the user experience.
[0008] In an optional embodiment, a sealant is provided in the mounting groove, and the lower portion of the outer perspective panel is restrained within the mounting groove by the sealant. Providing the sealant in the mounting groove not only facilitates the installation and fixation of the outer perspective panel, effectively improving the structural stability of the viewing assembly, but also achieves a sealed connection between the outer perspective panel and the window frame, preventing high-temperature heat flow, water vapor, and the like within the cooking cavity from escaping through the connection between the window frame and the outer perspective panel and entering the insulating cavity, thereby affecting the viewing assembly. This effectively improves the performance stability and safety of the air fryer.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, a mounting cavity is provided above the cooking cavity, and electrical components are housed within the mounting cavity. The viewing window frame includes a partition separating the mounting cavity from the insulating cavity. The inner perspective panel is arranged horizontally, the outer perspective panel is arranged vertically, and the partition is arranged at an angle. The lower portion of the partition is adapted to sealably engage with the inner perspective panel via the seal, and the upper portion of the partition is connected to the outer perspective panel. Arranging the inner perspective panel, the partition, and the outer perspective panel in a triangular shape effectively enhances the structural stability of the viewing assembly. Furthermore, the partition separating the insulating cavity from the mounting cavity reduces the impact of high-temperature heat transfer within the cooking cavity on the electrical components within the mounting cavity, effectively improving the performance stability of the air fryer.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the divider has a curved surface structure that bulges toward the insulation cavity. This configuration not only changes the direction of force applied to the upper and lower portions of the divider, but also effectively increases the contact area between the divider and the inner and outer perspective panels, effectively improving the structural stability of the visual component and the performance stability of the air fryer.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the divider is preferably made of an insulating material, and the side of the divider facing the insulating cavity is a reflective surface. Using an insulating material to construct the divider effectively enhances its thermal insulation, reduces the impact of high-temperature heat transfer within the cooking cavity on electrical components within the mounting cavity, and effectively improves the performance and stability of the air fryer. Furthermore, by providing a reflective surface on the side of the divider facing the insulating cavity, external light can be reflected by the divider into the cooking cavity, enhancing the visual effect within the cooking cavity and effectively improving the user experience.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, a steam generating system is provided within the air fryer body and communicates with the cooking cavity. The steam generating system is adapted to generate high-temperature steam and pass it into the cooking cavity. By providing the steam generating system within the air fryer body, steam cooking of food can be achieved, effectively improving the cooking effect and user experience while also enriching the functionality of the air fryer, enhancing its applicability and practicality.
[0013] In an optional embodiment, a frying basket with an open top is detachably disposed within the cooking cavity through a side opening, and the top opening of the frying basket at least partially corresponds to the inner see-through panel. By aligning the top opening of the frying basket at least partially with the inner see-through panel, the user can better view the cooking status of the food in the frying basket, thereby improving cooking efficiency and effectively enhancing cooking results, while also effectively enhancing visual quality and improving the user experience.

[0018] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are provided for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0019] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0020] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the numerical expressions and the numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0022] And for ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0023] Furthermore, it should be noted that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more." That is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be one or more. The term "a" should not be construed as limiting the quantity. The use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] Attachment Figure 1 To the attached Figure 2 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of a highly practical visual air fryer provided by the present invention. The air fryer includes a body 10, a cooking cavity 11 provided in the body 10 for placing food to be cooked, and a hot air circulation system 20 connected to the cooking cavity 11. The hot air circulation system 20 is suitable for generating a circulating heat flow and passing it into the cooking cavity 11 to heat the food in the cooking cavity 11.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a viewing port 30 communicating with the cooking cavity 11 is provided above the open side of the cooking cavity 11. A visual component 40 is provided at the viewing port 30 to close the viewing port 30. The visual component 40 is at least partially made of a transparent material such as transparent glass or transparent plastic. By providing the viewing port 30 communicating with the cooking cavity 11 on the body 10 and providing the visual component 40, which is at least partially made of a transparent material such as transparent glass or transparent plastic, at the viewing port 30 to close the viewing port 30, the air fryer can visualize the interior of the cooking cavity 11, allowing the user to better cook food, effectively improving the cooking effect and user experience.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the cooking cavity 11 is provided with an air duct plate 12. The visual component 40 includes an inner perspective panel 41 disposed above the air duct panel 12 to seal the inner side of the visual port 30, and an outer perspective panel 42 disposed on the outer side wall of the body 10 to seal the outer side of the visual port 30. A window frame 43 is disposed between the inner perspective panel 41 and the outer perspective panel 42. An insulating cavity 44 is formed between the outer perspective panel 42, the inner perspective panel 41, and the window frame 43. By providing the insulating cavity 44 between the outer perspective panel 42, the inner perspective panel 41, and the window frame 43, the risk of excessively high surface temperature of the body 10 caused by the high temperature within the cooking cavity 11 being transferred outward and thus causing burns to the user can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the safety of the air fryer.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the inner see-through panel 41 is preferably made of a heat-resistant transparent material such as heat-resistant transparent glass or heat-resistant transparent plastic. Using such a material can reduce the impact of the high temperature within the cooking cavity 11 on the inner see-through panel 41, thereby ensuring the performance of the inner see-through panel 41 and effectively improving its stability.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an annular seal 45 is provided between the window frame and the inner perspective panel. The seal 45 is shaped to match the shape of the inner perspective panel 41 and is preferably made of an elastic, high-temperature-resistant material such as rubber or silicone. By providing the seal 45 between the window frame 43 and the inner perspective panel 41, a sealed connection between the window frame 43 and the inner perspective panel 41 is achieved. This not only prevents the high-temperature heat flow within the cooking cavity 11 from escaping and affecting the normal operation of electrical components outside the cooking cavity 11, but also prevents water vapor within the cooking cavity 11 from escaping and entering the insulating cavity 44, thereby affecting the visual effect of the visual component 40. This effectively improves the user experience. In another optional embodiment, the seal 45 has an annular groove 451 on its inner side that matches the inner perspective panel 41. The seal 45 is adapted to be sleeved onto the periphery of the inner perspective panel 41 through the annular groove 451. By sleeve-mounting the seal 45 on the periphery of the inner perspective plate 41 , a sealed connection between the inner perspective plate 41 , the air duct plate 12 and the window frame 43 can be achieved, thereby effectively improving the sealing stability and sealing effect of the seal 45 .
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, a sealing groove 431 is provided on a side of the window frame 43 opposite to the inner perspective plate 41, and the sealing member 45 is adapted to be disposed in the sealing groove 431. The sealing groove 431 is adapted to position the sealing member 45 for installation. Positioning the sealing member 45 through the sealing groove 431 can effectively reduce the difficulty of installing the sealing member 45. At the same time, the sealing groove 431 is also adapted to limit the sealing member 45. Limiting the sealing member 45 through the sealing groove 431 can reduce the possibility of poor sealing due to deformation of the sealing member 45 during installation, thereby effectively improving the sealing stability of the sealing member 45.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the window frame 43 is provided with a mounting groove 432 that matches the lower portion of the outer perspective panel 41, and the lower portion of the outer perspective panel 41 is sealed and restrained within the mounting groove 432. The mounting groove 432 is suitable for positioning and / or limiting the outer perspective panel 41. Positioning and / or limiting the outer perspective panel 41 through the mounting groove 432 not only effectively reduces the difficulty of installing the outer perspective panel 41, but also improves the structural stability of the visual component 40 and the performance stability of the air fryer, effectively improving the user experience.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, a sealant is provided in the mounting groove 432, and the lower portion of the outer perspective panel 41 is restrained within the mounting groove 432 by the sealant. Providing the sealant in the mounting groove 432 not only allows the outer perspective panel 41 to be installed and secured, effectively improving the structural stability of the visual component 40, but also achieves a sealed connection between the outer perspective panel 41 and the window frame 43, preventing high-temperature heat flow, water vapor, etc. within the cooking cavity 11 from flowing out through the connection between the window frame 43 and the outer perspective panel 41 and entering the insulating cavity 44, thereby affecting the visual component 40. This effectively improves the performance stability and safety of the air fryer.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, a mounting cavity 13 is provided above the cooking cavity 11. Electrical components such as a drive system and a control system are housed within the mounting cavity 13. The viewing window frame 43 includes a partition 46 separating the mounting cavity 13 from the insulating cavity 44. The inner perspective panel 41 is arranged horizontally, the outer perspective panel 42 is arranged vertically, and the partition 46 is arranged at an angle. The lower portion of the partition 46 is adapted to sealably engage with the inner perspective panel 41 via a seal 45, while the upper portion of the partition 46 is connected to the outer perspective panel 42. The triangular arrangement of the inner perspective panel 41, the partition 46, and the outer perspective panel 42 effectively enhances the structural stability of the viewing assembly 40. Furthermore, the partition 46, which separates the insulating cavity 44 from the mounting cavity 13, reduces the impact of high-temperature heat transfer within the cooking cavity 11 on the electrical components within the mounting cavity 13, effectively improving the performance and stability of the air fryer.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the divider 46 is adapted to have a curved surface structure that bulges toward the insulation cavity 44. By configuring the divider 46 as a curved surface structure that bulges toward the insulation cavity 44, not only can the force directions of the upper and lower portions of the divider 46 be changed, but the contact area between the divider 46 and the inner and outer perspective panels 41, 42 can also be effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the structural stability of the visual component 40 and the performance stability of the air fryer.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the divider 46 is preferably made of an insulating material such as mineral wool insulation, aluminum silicate insulation, polystyrene foam insulation, polyurethane foam board, glass wool board, or fluorocarbon coating, and the side of the divider 46 facing the insulation cavity 44 is a reflective surface. Using an insulating material to construct the divider 46 effectively improves its thermal insulation properties, reduces the impact of high-temperature heat transfer within the cooking cavity 11 on the electrical components within the mounting cavity 13, and effectively enhances the performance and stability of the air fryer. Furthermore, by providing a reflective surface on the side of the divider 46 facing the insulation cavity 44, external light can be reflected by the divider into the cooking cavity 11, enhancing the visual effect within the cooking cavity 11 and effectively improving the user experience.
[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, the body 10 is provided with a steam generating system 50 connected to the cooking cavity 11. The steam generating system 50 includes a housing 51 provided on the body and having a liquid storage cavity, a steam generating assembly provided in the body 10 and connected to the cooking cavity 11, and a pump connecting the steam generating assembly and the liquid storage cavity via a liquid infusion pipeline. The pump is adapted to transport water in the liquid storage cavity to the steam generating assembly to generate high-temperature steam, which is then introduced into the cooking cavity 11, thereby steam-cooking the food in the cooking cavity 11. By providing the steam generating system 50 in the body 10, steam cooking of food can be achieved, which not only effectively improves the food cooking effect and user experience, but also effectively enriches the functional diversity of the air fryer, enhancing its applicability and practicality. In addition, in another optional embodiment, a frying basket 60 with an open top is detachably provided in the cooking cavity 11 through a side opening, and a water storage cavity for storing water is provided at the bottom of the frying basket 60. By filling the water storage cavity 60 with water and heating the water in the water storage cavity through the circulating heat flow in the cooking cavity 11, high-temperature steam can be generated to steam-cook the food in the cooking cavity 11, which can also achieve the above-mentioned effect.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a frying basket 60 with an open top is detachably provided in the cooking cavity 11 through a side opening. The top opening of the frying basket 60 at least partially corresponds to the inner perspective panel 41. By aligning the top opening of the frying basket 60 at least partially with the inner perspective panel 41, the user can better view the cooking status of the food in the frying basket 60, thereby improving cooking performance and effectively enhancing cooking results. The user experience is also enhanced, effectively improving visual quality.
