Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, in particular to a cooking utensil. Background Art
[0002] In the related art, the cooking environment inside the cooking device is close to a closed environment, and food is cooked into finished food in the closed environment.
[0003] However, in the actual cooking process, since the internal and external airflow cannot be exchanged, cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content in the closed environment cannot be adjusted, resulting in poor quality of the finished food. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a cooking utensil, comprising: a main body, the main body having a cooking cavity; a heating component, connected to the main body, the heating component being used to heat the food in the cooking cavity; an air induced passage, provided in the main body, the air induced passage being connected to the cooking cavity; an air vibration component, provided in the air induced passage or connected to the air induced passage, and being used to vibrate the air flowing through the air induced passage.
[0006] The cooking device provided by the utility model comprises a main body, which is a frame structure within the cooking device and is used to position, protect, and support other working structures of the cooking device. A cooking cavity is formed within the main body, into which food is placed and heated by a heating assembly to be processed into finished food.
[0007] The induction air channel is located within the main body. Fresh air flows into the cooking chamber after entering the induction air channel, allowing the cooking chamber to continuously draw in external air during operation. This external air is then used to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content within the cooking chamber to meet the cooking requirements of specific foods. This addresses the technical drawback of related technologies, which can result in the inability to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content, leading to poor quality of the finished food.
[0008] An air vibration assembly is provided within the air induction channel. When air enters the air induction channel, it passes through the air vibration assembly. As the air passes over the air vibration assembly, the air vibrates, generating a sound. Specifically, when the cooking appliance is operating, a sound is generated within the air induction channel. When the user hears the sound, they know the cooking appliance is currently operating, thus reminding the user of the cooking appliance's operating status. The user no longer needs to open the cooking appliance to frequently check whether it is currently operating, thereby improving user convenience.
[0009] In addition, the cooking appliance according to the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:
[0010] In some technical solutions, optionally, an air inlet is provided on the main body, and the air inlet is connected to the air duct; the air vibration component is provided with a vibration cavity, the vibration cavity has an opening, and at least a part of the air inlet is arranged opposite to the opening.
[0011] The air vibrating assembly is formed with a vibration cavity and an opening, the opening being in communication with the vibration cavity. At least a portion of the air inlet is positioned directly opposite the opening, or a portion of the air inlet is positioned directly opposite the opening, while another portion of the air inlet is offset from the opening. When airflow entering the air induction channel passes through the air vibrating assembly, the airflow is split into two parts. One part of the airflow flows directly into the cooking cavity, while the other part of the airflow enters the vibration cavity and then flows into the air induction channel through the opening. When the air vibrating assembly splits the airflow into two parts, the airflow vibrates, and the vibrating airflow produces an audible sound, thereby alerting the user to the current operating status of the cooking appliance.
[0012] In one possible application, the frequency of the sound can be changed by adjusting the size of the opening, the internal structure of the vibration chamber, and the area of the opening facing the air inlet. Therefore, the sound can be adjusted to a frequency suitable for the user's hearing, which is beneficial to improving the user experience of the cooking appliance.
[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air vibration component includes: a connecting part, connected to the main body; an airflow guiding part, connected to the connecting part, a vibration cavity is provided in the connecting part and the airflow guiding part, the top of the airflow guiding part is arranged opposite to the air inlet, and the connecting part is used to guide the airflow out of the vibration cavity.
[0014] A vibration cavity is provided on the airflow guide part, and the end of the airflow guide part is facing the air inlet. When the airflow passes through the airflow guide part, the end of the airflow guide part can separate the airflow, so that part of the airflow flows into the vibration cavity and the other part of the airflow flows directly to the cooking cavity.
[0015] The air flow flows into the vibration cavity from the end of the air flow guide part, and flows along the air flow guide part in the vibration cavity to the connecting part. The connecting part guides the air flow so that the air flow flows out of the vibration cavity along the connecting part, and the air flow flowing out of the vibration cavity merges with the air flow flowing directly to the cooking cavity. After the two vibrating air flows merge, the vibration effect of the air flow can be enhanced, which is beneficial to increase the volume of the sound and helps the user to clearly hear the sound transmitted from the air duct.
[0016] The connecting part is fixed on the main body, and the airflow guide part is connected to the connecting part, so that the position of the airflow guide part is fixed. When the airflow passes through the airflow guide part, the airflow guide part is not easy to shake relative to the main body, thereby ensuring that the airflow guide part can stably divide the airflow, ensuring that sound is generated when the airflow enters the air duct, and ensuring the stability of the use of the reminder function of the cooking appliance.
[0017] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air duct includes a first inner wall, the air inlet is opened on the first inner wall, and the top of the airflow guide part is used as the starting point, and at least a portion of the airflow guide part is bent in a direction away from the first inner wall.
[0018] A portion of the airflow flowing into the air duct through the first inner wall flows into the vibration chamber along the end of the airflow guide part. Since at least a portion of the airflow guide part is bent away from the first inner wall, that is, the airflow guide part is bent along the inflow direction of the airflow, the airflow guide part can guide the airflow, and the airflow can flow along the airflow guide part, thereby improving the stability of the airflow during the flow in the vibration chamber, thereby avoiding harsh abnormal noises and ensuring that the air vibration component can stably produce a reminder sound.
[0019] In some technical solutions, optionally, the connecting part includes: a first connecting part, connected to the airflow guiding part, at least a portion of the first connecting part is located in the vibration cavity; a second connecting part, the first end of the second connecting part is connected to the first connecting part, the second end of the second connecting part is connected to the main body, the second connecting part is located outside the vibration cavity, and the second connecting part is bent from the first end of the second connecting part to the second end of the second connecting part in a direction away from the airflow guiding part.
[0020] The first connecting part extends into the vibration cavity, and the first connecting part is connected to the airflow guiding part, thereby fixing the installation position of the airflow guiding part. Since the first connecting part is located in the vibration cavity, a vibration cavity is formed between the first connecting part and the airflow guiding part, and the airflow flowing into the vibration cavity flows along the airflow guiding part to the first connecting part, and flows out of the vibration cavity along the first connecting part. The end of the first connecting part is connected to the second connecting part, and the second connecting part is bent in the direction away from the airflow guiding part. The second connecting part guides the airflow flowing out of the vibration cavity to prevent the airflow from directly rushing towards the first inner wall. Under the guiding action of the second connecting part, the airflow flowing out of the vibration cavity can merge with the airflow flowing directly to the first air duct, which can enhance the vibration effect of the airflow, which is beneficial to increase the volume of the sound and helps the user to clearly hear the sound emitted from the air duct.
[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air inlet and the connecting portion are arranged on the same inner wall of the air duct, and the connecting portion and the air inlet are staggered.
[0022] After airflow enters the duct from the air inlet, it diffuses within the duct. If the air inlet and the connection are located on different inner walls of the duct, the airflow will inevitably pass through the connection. Even if the connection and the air inlet are staggered, the diffused airflow will still pass through the connection, obstructing the flow of air. When the air inlet and the connection are located on the same inner wall of the duct, and the connection and the air inlet are staggered, the airflow velocity is higher upon entering the duct, making it less likely for the airflow to diffuse to the connection. This reduces the obstruction of the connection on the airflow and ensures smooth airflow within the duct.
[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking appliance further includes: beads located in the vibration chamber, wherein the diameter of the beads is smaller than the minimum width of the opening.
[0024] When air flows into the vibration chamber, the beads in the vibration chamber will roll under the influence of the air flow, thereby making a sound, causing the sound frequency emitted by the air vibration component to change, avoiding the whistle sound from being too monotonous, and making the sound emitted by the air vibration improve the reminder effect to the user.
[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air inlet includes an annular air inlet, and the end of the airflow guide portion extends in the same direction as the annular air inlet; or the number of air inlets is multiple, and the end of the airflow guide portion is arranged opposite to the multiple air inlets.
[0026] The air inlet can be a ring structure, and the end of the airflow guide part is also set to be ring-shaped. Most of the airflow entering the second air duct will pass through the airflow guide part, thereby improving the vibration effect of the air and helping to increase the volume emitted by the air vibration component.
[0027] When there are multiple air inlets, the end of the air flow guide part extends along the distribution direction of the multiple air inlets. For example, when the multiple air inlets are distributed in a ring shape, the end of the air flow guide part is also distributed in a ring shape. Most of the air flow entering the air duct will pass through the air flow guide part, thereby improving the vibration effect of the air, which is beneficial to increasing the volume emitted by the air vibration component.
[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the maximum width of the air inlet is W, and W satisfies W≤3mm.
[0029] Fresh air from outside can flow into the cooking chamber through the duct. To prevent insects from entering the duct, the size of the air inlet needs to be limited. When the maximum width of the air inlet is less than or equal to 3mm, the opening width of the air inlet is small, making it difficult for insects to enter the duct through the air inlet.
[0030] In some technical solutions, the cooking appliance optionally further comprises: a fan assembly connected to the body, the fan assembly being configured to blow air into the cooking cavity. The air induction channel comprises a first air duct, both ends of the first air duct being connected to the cooking cavity, and the air inlet being connected to the first air duct.
[0031] The first end of the first air duct is connected to the cooking cavity, and the second end of the first air duct is also connected to the cooking cavity. The first air duct connects two different areas in the cooking cavity, and the first air duct is connected to the air inlet. During operation of the cooking appliance, the fan blade assembly can form a circulating airflow in the cooking cavity. The gas flowing in the cooking cavity flows into the first air duct from one of the first end and the second end of the first air duct, and finally flows out of the first air duct from the other end of the first end and the second end, thereby forming an internal circulating airflow in the first air duct. Based on the characteristics of the fluid medium, during the flow of the fluid medium, the pressure in the area with a high flow rate is relatively low. Due to the existence of the internal circulating airflow, the pressure in the first flow channel is lower than the pressure of the external environment of the main body. Under the action of the pressure difference, the external gas is pressed into the first air duct, and a fresh air flow is formed in the first air duct, which eventually flows into the cooking cavity, so that the cooking cavity can continuously introduce external air during operation.
[0032] In some technical solutions, the air induction channel further includes a second air duct, a first end of the second air duct is connected to the first air duct, and a second end of the second air duct is connected to the air inlet.
[0033] The air duct includes a first air duct and a second air duct. Both ends of the first air duct are connected to the cooking cavity, the first end of the second air duct is connected to the first air duct, and the second end of the second air duct is connected to the air inlet.
[0034] The first end of the second air duct is connected to the middle section of the first air duct, and the second end of the first air duct extends toward the outer surface of the main body and is finally connected to the air inlet on the main body, wherein the second air duct is at least partially located outside the cooking cavity, that is, the air induction channel is composed of two air ducts inside and outside the first air duct and the second air duct.
[0035] The external air is pressed into the second air duct and forms a fresh air flow in the second air duct. The fresh air flow flows from the second end of the second air duct to the first end of the second air duct. After entering the second air duct, the fresh air flow merges into the internal circulating air flow and finally flows into the cooking cavity, so that the cooking cavity can continuously introduce external air during operation.
[0036] In some technical solutions, optionally, the air vibration component is located at the second end of the second air duct.
[0037] The second end of the second air duct is connected to the air inlet. When the air vibration component is set at the second end of the second air duct, the air vibration component is closer to the air inlet. The sound emitted by the air flow passing through the air vibration component is transmitted out of the second air duct through a shorter path, thereby ensuring that the sound transmitted out of the second air duct has sufficient volume, ensuring that the user can clearly receive the sound transmitted from the second air duct.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0047] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 The following describes a cooking appliance provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0048] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a cooking appliance, including: a main body 100, a heating component 200, an air induced passage 400 and an air vibration component 500, the main body 100 has a cooking cavity 110, the heating component 200 and the air induced passage 400 are arranged on the main body 100, the heating component 200 is used to heat the food in the cooking cavity 110, the air induced passage 400 is connected to the cooking cavity 110, the air vibration component 500 is arranged in the air induced passage 400 or is connected to the air induced passage 400, and the air vibration component 500 is used to vibrate the air flowing through the air induced passage 400.
[0049] The cooking device provided in this embodiment comprises a main body 100, which serves as the framework of the cooking device. This main body 100 is used to position, protect, and support the other working components of the cooking device. A cooking cavity 110 is formed within the main body 100. Ingredients are placed within the cooking cavity 110 and heated by the heating assembly 200 to be processed into finished food.
[0050] The air induction channel 400 is provided in the main body 100, and the fresh air flows into the cooking cavity 110 after entering the air induction channel 400 ( Figure 2 The middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow, allowing the cooking chamber 110 to continuously draw in external air during operation. This allows the use of external air to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content within the cooking chamber 110 to meet the cooking requirements of specific foods. This addresses the technical drawbacks of related technologies, such as the inability to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content, resulting in poor quality of the finished food.
[0051] An air vibrator 500 is provided within the air induction passage 400. When air enters the air induction passage 400, it passes through the air vibrator 500. As the air passes over the air vibrator 500, the air vibrates, producing a sound. Specifically, when the cooking appliance is operating, a sound is produced within the air induction passage 400. When the user hears the sound, they know the cooking appliance is currently operating, thus reminding the user of the cooking appliance's operating status. The user no longer needs to open the cooking appliance to frequently check whether it is currently operating, thereby improving user convenience.
[0052] In a possible application, the heating component 200 may be a heating tube or a heating wire.
[0053] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the body 100 is provided with an air inlet 120, which is connected to the air inlet 400. The air vibration component 500 is provided with a vibration cavity 510, which has an opening 520, and at least a portion of the air inlet 120 is arranged opposite to the opening 520.
[0054] A vibration cavity 510 and an opening 520 are formed on the air vibration assembly 500, and the opening 520 is connected to the vibration cavity 510. At least a portion of the air inlet 120 faces the opening 520, or a portion of the air inlet 120 faces the opening 520, and another portion of the air inlet 120 is staggered from the opening 520. When the airflow entering the air induction channel 400 passes through the air vibration assembly 500, the airflow will be divided into two parts. One part of the airflow flows directly to the cooking cavity 110, and the other part of the airflow enters the vibration cavity 510 and then flows into the air induction channel 400 through the opening 520 in sequence ( Figure 3 The dotted arrows indicate the direction of airflow. When the air vibration assembly 500 divides the airflow into two parts, the airflow vibrates, and the vibrating airflow produces sound, thereby reminding the user of the current working status of the cooking appliance.
[0055] In one possible application, by adjusting the size of the opening 520, the internal structure of the vibration chamber 510, and the area of the opening 520 facing the air inlet 120, the frequency of the sound can be changed. Therefore, the sound can be adjusted to a frequency suitable for the user's hearing, which is beneficial to improving the user's experience of using the cooking appliance.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air vibration component 500 includes: a connecting part 530 and an airflow guiding part 540, the connecting part 530 is connected to the main body 100, the airflow guiding part 540 is connected to the connecting part 530, a vibration cavity 510 is provided in the connecting part 530 and the airflow guiding part 540, the top of the airflow guiding part 540 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 120, and the connecting part 530 is used to guide the airflow to discharge the vibration cavity 510.
[0057] A vibration chamber 510 is provided on the airflow guide portion 540, and the end of the airflow guide portion 540 faces the air inlet 120. When the airflow passes through the airflow guide portion 540, the end of the airflow guide portion 540 can separate the airflow, so that part of the airflow flows into the vibration chamber 510, and the other part of the airflow flows directly to the cooking chamber 110.
[0058] The air flow flows into the vibration cavity 510 from the end of the air flow guide part 540, and the air flow flows along the air flow guide part 540 in the vibration cavity 510 to the connecting part 530. The connecting part 530 guides the air flow so that the air flow flows out of the vibration cavity 510 along the connecting part 530. The air flow flowing out of the vibration cavity 510 merges with the air flow flowing directly to the cooking cavity 110. After the two vibrating air flows merge, the vibration effect of the air flow can be enhanced, which is beneficial to increase the volume of the sound and help the user clearly hear the sound transmitted from the air duct 400.
[0059] The connecting portion 530 is fixed on the main body 100, and the airflow guide portion 540 is connected to the connecting portion 530, so that the position of the airflow guide portion 540 is fixed. When the airflow passes through the airflow guide portion 540, the airflow guide portion 540 is not easy to shake relative to the main body 100, thereby ensuring that the airflow guide portion 540 can stably divide the airflow, ensuring that sound will be generated when the airflow enters the air duct 400, and ensuring the stability of the use of the reminder function of the cooking appliance.
[0060] In a possible application, the connecting portion 530 and the airflow guiding portion 540 are an integrated structure, or the connecting portion 530 is fixed to the airflow guiding portion 540 by welding or other methods.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air duct 400 includes a first inner wall 421, the air inlet 120 is opened on the first inner wall 421, and takes the top of the airflow guide portion 540 as the starting point, and at least a portion of the airflow guide portion 540 is bent in a direction away from the first inner wall 421.
[0062] A portion of the airflow flowing into the air duct 400 through the first inner wall 421 flows into the vibration chamber 510 along the end of the airflow guide portion 540. Since at least a portion of the airflow guide portion 540 is bent in a direction away from the first inner wall 421, that is, the airflow guide portion 540 is bent along the inflow direction of the airflow, the airflow guide portion 540 can guide the airflow, and the airflow can flow along the airflow guide portion 540, thereby improving the stability of the airflow during the flow in the vibration chamber 510, thereby avoiding the occurrence of harsh abnormal noises, and ensuring that the air vibration component 500 can stably produce a reminder sound.
[0063] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the connecting portion 530 includes: a first connecting portion 531 and a second connecting portion 532. The first connecting portion 531 is connected to the airflow guide portion 540, and at least a portion of the first connecting portion 531 is located in the vibration chamber 510. A first end of the second connecting portion 532 is connected to the first connecting portion 531, and a second end of the second connecting portion 532 is connected to the body 100. The second connecting portion 532 is located outside the vibration chamber 510, and is bent in a direction away from the airflow guide portion 540 from the first end of the second connecting portion 532 to the second end of the second connecting portion 532.
[0064] The first connecting portion 531 extends into the vibration chamber 510 and is connected to the airflow guide portion 540, thereby fixing the installation position of the airflow guide portion 540. Because the first connecting portion 531 is located within the vibration chamber 510, a vibration chamber 510 is formed between the first connecting portion 531 and the airflow guide portion 540. The airflow flowing into the vibration chamber 510 flows along the airflow guide portion 540 toward the first connecting portion 531 and then flows out of the vibration chamber 510 along the first connecting portion 531. The end of the first connecting portion 531 is connected to the second connecting portion 532, which is bent in a direction away from the airflow guide portion 540. The second connecting portion 532 guides the airflow flowing out of the vibration chamber 510 to prevent it from directly hitting the first inner wall 421. Under the guiding action of the second connecting part 532, the airflow flowing out of the vibration cavity 510 can merge with the airflow flowing directly into the air duct 400, which can enhance the vibration effect of the airflow, help increase the volume of the sound, and help the user clearly hear the sound coming from the air duct 400.
[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air inlet 120 and the connecting portion 530 are provided on the same inner wall of the air induction channel 400 , and the connecting portion 530 and the air inlet 120 are staggered.
[0066] After the airflow enters the duct 400 through the air inlet 120, it diffuses within the duct 400. If the air inlet 120 and the connection portion 530 are located on different inner walls of the duct 400, the airflow will inevitably pass through the connection portion 530. Even if the connection portion 530 and the air inlet 120 are staggered, the diffused airflow will still pass through the connection portion 530, and the connection portion 530 will obstruct the flow of the airflow. When the air inlet 120 and the connection portion 530 are located on the same inner wall of the duct 400, and the connection portion 530 and the air inlet 120 are staggered, the airflow velocity is faster upon entering the duct 400, and the airflow is less likely to diffuse to the location of the connection portion 530. This reduces the obstruction of the airflow by the connection portion 530, ensuring smooth flow of air within the duct 400.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking appliance further includes: beads 550 , which are located in the vibration chamber 510 , and the diameter of the beads 550 is smaller than the minimum width of the opening 520 .
[0068] When air flows into the vibration chamber 510, the beads 550 in the vibration chamber 510 will roll under the influence of the air flow, thereby making a sound, causing the sound frequency emitted by the air vibration component 500 to change, thus preventing the whistle from being too monotonous and making the sound emitted by the air vibration more effective in reminding the user.
[0069] The diameter of the bead 550 is smaller than the minimum width of the opening 520 , so as to prevent the bead 550 from escaping from the vibration chamber 510 .
[0070] In some embodiments, optionally, the air inlet 120 includes an annular air inlet, and the end of the airflow guide portion 540 extends in the same direction as the annular air inlet; or the number of air inlets 120 is multiple, and the end of the airflow guide portion 540 is arranged opposite to the multiple air inlets 120.
[0071] The air inlet 120 can be a ring structure, and the end of the airflow guide part 540 is also set to be ring-shaped. Most of the airflow entering the air duct 400 will pass through the airflow guide part 540, thereby improving the vibration effect of the air, which is beneficial to increasing the volume emitted by the air vibration component 500.
[0072] When there are multiple air inlets 120, the end of the air flow guide part 540 extends along the distribution direction of the multiple air inlets 120. For example, when the multiple air inlets 120 are distributed in a ring shape, the end of the air flow guide part 540 is also distributed in a ring shape. Most of the air flow entering the second air duct 420 will pass through the air flow guide part 540, thereby improving the vibration effect of the air, which is beneficial to increasing the volume emitted by the air vibration component 500.
[0073] Illustratively, there are two air inlets 120 in this embodiment, and the connecting portion 530 divides the inner cavity of the airflow guide portion 540 into two vibration cavities 510. One air inlet 120 is arranged opposite to one vibration cavity 510. In other embodiments, one or more air inlets 120 may be set, and the number of vibration cavities 510 varies with the number of air inlets 120.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the maximum width of the air inlet 120 is W, and W satisfies W≤3 mm.
[0075] Fresh air from outside can flow into the cooking chamber 110 through the air inlet duct 400. To prevent mosquitoes from entering the air inlet duct 400, the size of the air inlet 120 needs to be limited. When the maximum width of the air inlet 120 is less than or equal to 3 mm, the opening 520 of the air inlet 120 is narrow, making it difficult for mosquitoes to enter the air inlet duct 400 through the air inlet 120.
[0076] For example, when the air inlet 120 is in a strip shape or a ring shape, the width of the air inlet 120 is small, and the air inlet 120 is a slit structure, which can effectively prevent mosquitoes from entering.
[0077] Exemplarily, the maximum width of the air inlet 120 is 3 mm, 2.5 mm or 2 mm.
[0078] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance optionally further comprises a fan assembly 300 connected to the body 100 and configured to blow air into the cooking cavity 110. The air induction channel 400 comprises a first air duct 410, both ends of which are in communication with the cooking cavity 110, and the air inlet 120 is in communication with the first air duct 410.
[0079] The first end of the first air duct 410 is connected to the cooking cavity 110, and the second end of the first air duct 410 is also connected to the cooking cavity 110. The first air duct 410 connects two different areas in the cooking cavity 110 and is connected to the air inlet 120.
[0080] During operation of the cooking appliance, the fan assembly 300 can create a circulating airflow within the cooking cavity 110. The gas flowing within the cooking cavity 110 flows into the first air duct 410 from one of the first and second ends of the first air duct 410 and ultimately flows out of the first air duct 410 from the other end, thereby forming an internal circulating airflow within the first air duct 410. Due to the characteristics of a fluid medium, during the flow of the fluid medium, the pressure in areas with high flow velocity is lower. Due to the presence of the internal circulating airflow, the pressure within the first flow duct is lower than the pressure of the environment outside the main body 100. Due to the pressure difference, external gas is pressed into the first air duct 410, forming a fresh air flow within the first air duct 410, which ultimately flows into the cooking cavity 110, allowing the cooking cavity 110 to continuously introduce external air during operation.
[0081] In some embodiments, the air induction channel 400 further includes a second air duct 420 , a first end of the second air duct 420 is connected to the first air duct 410 , and a second end of the second air duct 420 is connected to the air inlet 120 .
[0082] The first end of the second air duct 420 communicates with the middle section of the first air duct 410. The second end of the first air duct 410 extends toward the outer surface of the main body 100 and ultimately communicates with the air inlet 120 on the main body 100. The second air duct 420 is at least partially located outside the cooking cavity 110. In other words, the air induction channel 400 is composed of two air ducts, the first air duct 410 and the second air duct 420. Fresh air flows from the second end of the second air duct 420 to the first end of the second air duct 420, allowing the cooking cavity 110 to continuously draw in external air during operation.
[0083] In one possible application, a cavity structure is provided on the main body 100 as the first air duct 410 and the second air duct 420, or a tubular structure is installed in the main body 100 as the first air duct 410 and the second air duct 420. The structures of the first air duct 410 and the second air duct 420 are not limited to the above, as long as they can drive the airflow into the cooking cavity 110.
[0084] In a possible application, the fan blade assembly 300 includes a motor and fan blades, and the motor is used to drive the fan blades to rotate.
[0085] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the air vibration component 500 is located at the second end of the second air duct 420 .
[0086] The second end of the second air duct 420 is connected to the air inlet 120. When the air vibration component 500 is set at the second end of the second air duct 420, the air vibration component 500 is closer to the air inlet 120. The sound emitted by the air flow passing through the air vibration component 500 is transmitted out of the second air duct 420 through a shorter path, thereby ensuring that the sound transmitted from the second air duct 420 has sufficient volume, ensuring that the user can clearly receive the sound transmitted from the second air duct 420.
[0087] Illustratively, the cooking appliance in this embodiment may be an air fryer.
