Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, in particular to an air fryer. Background Art

[0002] Existing air fryers generally include a body, a reflective cover arranged inside the body, and a fryer. The reflective cover and the fryer enclose a cooking chamber. The reflective cover is provided with an exhaust port connected to the outside. When the air fryer is working, the steam in the cooking chamber can be discharged through the exhaust port to prevent excessive pressure in the cooking chamber and ensure normal processing of ingredients.

[0003] Because the exhaust port continuously outputs steam, on the one hand, it causes serious heat loss in the pot, resulting in high energy consumption of the entire machine. On the other hand, it causes continuous high temperature near the exhaust port, and users are at risk of being scalded when approaching the exhaust port, which reduces the safety of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an air fryer, which aims to solve the problems of existing air fryers in which the cooking cavity is connected to the outside, the cooking cavity continuously outputs steam, resulting in large heat loss, high energy consumption of the whole machine, and the discharged high-temperature steam easily scalding users.

[0005] The utility model discloses an air fryer, comprising a body, wherein a reflective cover is provided in the body, wherein the reflective cover divides the space in the body into an upper installation cavity and a lower cooking cavity, wherein the cooking cavity is closed, and a partition is provided in the cooking cavity, wherein the partition divides the cooking cavity into a processing cavity and a condensation cavity which are interconnected, wherein the condensation cavity is formed by enclosing the partition and the reflective cover, wherein a condensation element is provided in the condensation cavity, and steam entering the condensation cavity from the processing cavity forms condensed water under the action of the condensation element and is collected in the condensation cavity.

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

[0007] The condensation element vertically penetrates the reflective cover, the lower end of the condensation element is located in the condensation chamber, a heat dissipation duct is provided above the reflective cover in the body, a heat dissipation fan is provided in the heat dissipation duct, and the upper end of the condensation element is located in the heat dissipation duct.

[0008] The condensation element is plate-shaped and has a windward surface. The width of the windward surface is greater than the thickness of the condensation element. The body is provided with an air outlet connected to the heat dissipation air duct, and the air flow flowing toward the air outlet can blow directly toward the windward surface.

[0009] The windward surface is provided with a through hole penetrating the condensing element.

[0010] One end of the condensation chamber is provided with a first air hole communicating with the processing chamber, the other end of the condensation chamber is provided with a second air hole communicating with the processing chamber, and the condensation member is arranged between the first air hole and the second air hole.

[0011] The partition and the reflector are integrally formed.

[0012] A notch is formed on the side wall of the reflector, and a water receiving box extending into the condensation chamber is detachably plugged into the notch, and the water receiving box closes the notch.

[0013] The water receiving box includes a water holding portion that can be inserted into the condensation chamber and a taking portion that is stopped on the outside of the reflector. When the water holding portion is inserted into the condensation chamber, the water holding portion is supported on the bottom of the partition and the water holding portion closes the gap. The taking portion extends out of the body away from the end of the water holding portion.

[0014] The water holding portion includes a bottom plate and a surrounding edge extending upward from the periphery of the bottom plate. A baffle extending upward is provided at the top of the surrounding edge near the taking portion. When the water holding portion is inserted into place, the baffle stops on the side wall of the reflector above the notch.

[0015] The bottom of the taking part is provided with an upward concave handle position, and the bottom end of the taking part is arranged flush with the bottom end of the water holding part.

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

[0017] 1. To address the low heating efficiency and high-temperature burns caused by steam released from the cooking chamber of existing air fryers during cooking, the air fryer of the present application features a sealed cooking chamber, preventing high-temperature burns caused by direct exhaust from the cooking chamber. By dividing the cooking chamber into interconnected processing and condensation chambers, steam from the processing chamber enters the condensation chamber, where it is collected by a condensation element, forming condensate. This prevents steam from escaping and relieves pressure within the processing chamber, ensuring proper processing of ingredients. The condensation chamber, enclosed by a partition and a reflector, is located at the upper end of the cooking chamber, allowing more hot steam to rise into the chamber and improve condensation efficiency.

[0018] It is understandable that part of the steam entering the condensation chamber from the processing chamber can also flow back to the processing chamber, and the cooking chamber is in a certain high temperature environment, and the condensed water formed can also be partially evaporated by the heat and flow back to the processing chamber, which can effectively reduce heat loss, improve heating efficiency, and reduce the energy consumption of the entire machine.

[0019] 2. In order to prevent the condensation element from continuously rising in temperature as the temperature of the cooking chamber increases and affecting the formation of condensed water, part of the condensation element can be placed inside the condensation chamber and the rest can be placed outside the condensation chamber. By placing the upper end of the condensation element in the heat dissipation duct, the heat dissipation and cooling of the condensation element can be achieved, which is conducive to maintaining the appropriate temperature of the condensation element, thereby ensuring the efficiency of condensed water generation and avoiding excessive pressure in the processing chamber that affects the normal processing of food.

[0020] 3. In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the condensing element, the contact area between the heat dissipation airflow and the condensing element per unit time can be increased. A plate-shaped condensing element is used and the windward side of the condensing element is facing the airflow. By directly blowing the airflow onto the condensing element, the heat dissipation rate can be effectively increased and the cooling of the condensing element can be accelerated.

[0021] 4. In order to avoid affecting the heat dissipation effect in the heat dissipation duct while the condensing element is dissipating heat, a through hole is provided on the windward side of the condensing element. When the air flow blows towards the windward side, it can pass through the through hole and be discharged outward, which can avoid part of the air flow being blocked by the condensing element and detouring in the heat dissipation duct to affect the heat dissipation effect, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0022] 5. In order to improve the steam utilization rate, reduce heat loss and improve the heating efficiency, a first air hole connected to the processing chamber is provided at one end of the condensation chamber, and a second air hole connected to the processing chamber is provided at the other end of the condensation chamber. The condensation element is arranged between the first air hole and the second air hole, so that the steam in the processing chamber can enter the condensation chamber from one of the air holes, and part of the steam will turn into condensed water when it encounters the condensation element, and the rest of the steam can return to the processing chamber through the other air hole, thereby improving the steam utilization rate.

[0023] 6. After the processing is completed, condensed water remains in the condensation chamber. In order to prevent the condensed water from remaining for a long time and breeding bacteria, which affects the hygiene of the processing environment, the residual condensed water needs to be cleaned in time. In order to facilitate cleaning, the present application has a notch in the side wall of the reflector cover, and a water receiving box extending into the condensation chamber is detachably inserted into the notch. When in use, the water receiving box is inserted into the condensation chamber to collect the condensed water. After the processing is completed, the water receiving box can be pulled out to pour out the condensed water and cleaned, thereby ensuring hygienic use; the water receiving box can close the notch when in use to prevent steam from overflowing from the notch, causing heat loss and high-temperature burns.

[0024] 7. In order to facilitate the operation of the water receiving box, the water receiving box includes a water holding part that can be inserted into the condensation chamber and a picking part that is stopped on the outside of the reflector. When the water holding part is inserted into the condensation chamber, it is supported on the bottom of the partition and can stably receive the condensed water. The end of the picking part away from the water holding part extends out of the body, making it convenient for the user to pull out the water receiving box through the picking part.

[0025] 8. In order to ensure that the water holding portion receives a certain amount of condensed water, the water holding portion includes a bottom plate and a surrounding edge extending upward from the periphery of the bottom plate. The surrounding edge gives the water holding portion a certain depth, which can receive a certain volume of condensed water, and can reduce the risk of water spilling during the water box extraction process, thereby avoiding water splashing onto the user; furthermore, an upwardly extending baffle is provided at the top of the surrounding edge near the taking portion, and closing the gap by adding the baffle on this side can enhance the sealing efficiency and prevent steam from overflowing.

[0026] 9. In order to facilitate users to take the water box, a concave handle is provided at the bottom of the taking part, which is very convenient for pushing and pulling the water box; furthermore, the bottom end of the taking part is arranged flush with the bottom end of the water holding part, so when the user pulls out the water box and places it, the water box can be placed stably, which can prevent the water box from tipping over, being bumped and damaged, thereby extending the service life of the water box.

[0034] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in combination with the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides an air fryer, comprising a body 10, wherein a reflector 11 is provided within the body 10, the reflector 11 dividing the space within the body 10 into an upper mounting chamber 101 and a lower cooking chamber 102. The mounting chamber 101 is provided with a motor 103 and a cooling fan 104, and a hot air assembly 105 is provided at the top of the cooking chamber 102 for generating hot air for heating food. The cooking chamber 102 is enclosed and provided with a partition 12. The partition 12 divides the cooking chamber 102 into a processing chamber 13 and a condensing chamber 14, which are interconnected. The condensing chamber 14 is formed by the partition 12 and the reflector 11. A condensing element 15 is provided within the condensing chamber 14. Steam entering the condensing chamber 14 from the processing chamber 13 forms condensed water under the action of the condensing element 15 and is collected in the condensing chamber 14.

[0042] To address the low heating efficiency and high-temperature burns caused by the exhaust of steam from the cooking chamber of existing air fryers during cooking, the air fryer of the present application has a sealed cooking chamber 102, which prevents high-temperature burns caused by direct exhaust from the cooking chamber 102. By dividing the cooking chamber 102 into a processing chamber 13 and a condensing chamber 14, which are interconnected, steam in the processing chamber 13 can enter the condensing chamber 14 and be collected by the condensing element 15 to form condensed water. This prevents the exhaust of steam and satisfies the pressure release requirement within the processing chamber 13, ensuring the normal processing of ingredients. The condensing chamber 14 is formed by the partition 12 and the reflector 11, with the condensing chamber 14 located at the upper end of the cooking chamber, which facilitates the upward flow of more hot steam into the condensing chamber 14, improving condensation efficiency.

[0043] It can be understood that a portion of the steam entering the condensation chamber 14 from the processing chamber 13 can also flow back to the processing chamber 13, and the cooking chamber 102 is in a certain high-temperature environment, and the condensed water formed can also be partially evaporated by heat and flow back to the processing chamber 13, which can effectively reduce heat loss, improve heating efficiency, and reduce the energy consumption of the entire machine.

[0044] Specifically, the closed cooking cavity 102 means it is not connected to the outside world. That is, the reflector 11 lacks an air outlet that connects to the outside world, and hot air circulates only within the cooking cavity 102. This structure effectively reduces heat loss during the cooking process, ensuring continuous internal circulation of hot air and improving heat utilization. Furthermore, the closed design means users are not directly exposed to high-temperature hot air when operating the air fryer, significantly reducing the risk of burns due to misoperation or unexpected situations. During the cooking process in the cooking cavity 102, steam from the processing cavity 13 enters the condensation cavity 14, forming condensate. This vents and releases pressure from the processing cavity 13, maintaining an appropriate pressure within the cavity 13 and ensuring proper processing of the food. Some foods contain a large amount of water, and the water vapor generated during cooking accumulates in the cooking cavity 102 and on the surface of the food, affecting both the taste and cooking efficiency of the food. The water vapor generated during cooking is carried by the hot air into the condensation cavity 14. After passing through the condensation element 15, the water vapor is separated from the hot air, and the resulting condensate is collected. The remaining hot air can then be recirculated within the processing cavity 13. When a small amount of condensed water evaporates and flows back into the processing chamber 13, it also reduces water loss, improving the taste of foods that require a certain moisture content. The divider 12 is provided within the cooking chamber 102, which not only divides the space within the cooking chamber 102 but also does not occupy additional space within the body 10, thereby maintaining the miniaturization of the entire machine.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the condensation element 15 vertically penetrates the reflective cover 11, the lower end of the condensation element 15 is located in the condensation chamber 14, a heat dissipation duct 16 is provided above the reflective cover 11 in the body 10, a heat dissipation fan 104 is provided in the heat dissipation duct 16, and the upper end of the condensation element 15 is located in the heat dissipation duct 16.

[0046] In order to prevent the condensation element 15 from continuously rising in temperature as the temperature of the cooking chamber 102 rises and affecting the formation of condensed water, part of the condensation element 15 can be placed in the condensation chamber 14 and the rest can be placed outside the condensation chamber 14. By placing the upper end of the condensation element 15 in the heat dissipation duct 16, the heat dissipation and cooling of the condensation element 15 can be achieved, which is beneficial for the condensation element 15 to maintain a suitable temperature, thereby ensuring the efficiency of condensed water generation and avoiding excessive pressure in the processing chamber 13 affecting the normal processing of food.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the partition 12 is arranged on the inner side of the reflector 11, preferably on the upper end of the reflector 11, so that the processing chamber 13 below has a larger processing space. The cross section of the partition 12 is, for example, L-shaped. The partition 12 and the top wall and side walls of the reflector 11 enclose a condensation chamber 14, and the condensation element 15 is arranged through the top wall of the reflector 11. The condensation chamber 14 is arranged close to the rear side of the machine body so that the condensation element 15 is close to the air outlet 17 to optimize the heat dissipation effect. In the heat dissipation duct 16, cold air passes through the condensation element 15, dissipates heat for the condensation element 15, reduces the temperature of the condensation element 15, and ensures a continuous condensation effect.

[0048] Preferably, the partition 12 is integrally formed with the reflector 11 . Compared with a conventional reflector 11 , the partition 12 only needs to be formed on the inner side of the reflector 11 , which is easy to process and does not significantly increase the cost.

[0049] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the partition 12 and the reflector 11 are provided separately, and the partition 12 can be snapped onto the inner side of the reflector 11 .

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the condensation element 15 is plate-shaped, and the condensation element 15 has a windward surface 151. The width of the windward surface 151 is greater than the thickness of the condensation element 15. The body 10 is provided with an air outlet 17 connected to the heat dissipation duct 16. The airflow flowing toward the air outlet 17 can blow directly toward the windward surface 151.

[0051] In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the condensing element 15, the contact area between the heat dissipating airflow and the condensing element 15 per unit time can be increased. A plate-shaped condensing element 15 is used and the windward surface 151 of the condensing element 15 is facing the airflow. By directly blowing the airflow onto the condensing element 15, the heat dissipation rate can be effectively increased, and the cooling of the condensing element 15 can be accelerated.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the condensation element 15 is a condensation plate, which has a simple structure and low cost. The condensation plate can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, which is conducive to the condensation of water vapor. In order to further improve the condensation effect, in one example, the windward surface 151 can adopt a curved surface to increase the path for the cold air to flow through, thereby achieving a better condensation effect. The part of the condensation element 15 located in the condensation chamber 14 can also be provided with a curved surface. The air outlet 17 can be protruded on the body 10 in the form of an air outlet hood, for example, to form an air outlet 17 with an upward opening. When exhausting air, blowing air upward can avoid directly blowing objects or walls near the air outlet 17, thereby avoiding damage to the objects or walls.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the windward surface 151 is provided with a through hole 152 that passes through the condensation element 15 .

[0054] In order to avoid affecting the heat dissipation effect in the heat dissipation duct 16 while the condensing element 15 dissipates heat, a through hole 152 is provided on the windward surface 151 of the condensing element 15, and the air flow can be discharged outward through the through hole 152 when it blows toward the windward surface 151, thereby avoiding part of the air flow being blocked by the condensing element 15 and detouring in the heat dissipation duct 16 to affect the heat dissipation effect, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] The above embodiment illustrates the arrangement of a single condenser plate. It is understood that in other embodiments, multiple condenser plates may be spaced apart along the direction of cold air flow to improve the condensation effect. The condenser element 15 may be made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, phase change material, or the like. Reference is made to the relevant prior art and will not be further described here.

[0056] In addition, the condensing element is not limited to the form of the above-mentioned condensing plate. Refrigerants such as Freon, hydrofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, etc. can also be set in the condensing chamber 14, or ice cubes can be pre-added in the condensing chamber 14 to create a cooling environment, both of which can achieve a certain condensation effect.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, a notch 111 is formed on the side wall of the reflector 11 , and a water receiving box 18 extending into the condensation chamber 14 is detachably inserted into the notch 111 , and the water receiving box 18 closes the notch 111 .

[0058] After the processing is completed, condensed water remains in the condensation chamber 14. In order to prevent the condensed water from remaining for a long time and breeding bacteria, which affects the hygiene of the processing environment, it is necessary to clean the residual condensed water in time. In order to facilitate cleaning, the present application has a notch 111 on the side wall of the reflector 11, and a water receiving box 18 extending into the condensation chamber 14 is detachably inserted into the notch 111. When in use, the water receiving box 18 is inserted into the condensation chamber 14 to collect condensed water. After the processing is completed, the water receiving box 18 can be pulled out to pour out the condensed water and cleaned, thereby ensuring hygienic use; the water receiving box 18 can close the notch 111 when in use to prevent steam from overflowing from the notch 111, causing heat loss and high-temperature burns.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the advantage of using the water collecting box 18 is that the condensed water can be collected in the water collecting box 18, which is convenient for cleaning the condensed water when the water collecting box 18 is pulled out, and the difficulty and inconvenience of pumping water out of the condensation chamber 14 can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] Furthermore, the water receiving box 18 includes a water holding portion 181 that can be inserted into the condensation chamber 14 and a picking portion 182 that is stopped on the outside of the reflector 11. When the water holding portion 181 is inserted into the condensation chamber 14, the water holding portion 181 is supported on the bottom of the partition 12, and can stably receive condensed water. The water holding portion 181 closes the gap 111, which can prevent steam from overflowing from the gap 111 and causing heat loss and high-temperature burns. The picking portion 182 extends out of the body 10 away from the end of the water holding portion 181, making it convenient for the user to pull out the water receiving box 18 through the picking portion 182.

[0061] In one example, if Figure 3 As shown, the water holding portion 181 includes a bottom plate 1811 and a rim 1812 extending upward from the periphery of the bottom plate 1811. The rim 1812 allows the water holding portion 181 to have a certain depth, which can receive a certain volume of condensed water and reduce the risk of water spilling during the extraction of the water receiving box 18, thereby preventing water from splashing onto the user. Furthermore, an upwardly extending baffle 1813 is provided on the top of the rim 1812 near the taking portion 182. When the water holding portion 181 is inserted into place, the baffle 1813 stops on the side wall of the reflector 11 above the notch 111, that is, closing the notch 111 by adding the rim 1812 and the baffle 1813 can enhance the sealing efficiency and prevent steam from overflowing.

[0062] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the picking portion 182 is provided with a concave handle position 1821, and the user's fingers can be inserted into the handle position 1821 to operate the water receiving box 18, which is convenient to operate; further, the bottom end of the picking portion 182 is arranged flush with the bottom end of the water holding portion 181, so when the user pulls out the water receiving box 18 and places it, the water receiving box 18 can be placed stably, which can prevent the water receiving box 18 from tipping over and being bumped and damaged, thereby extending the service life of the water receiving box 18, and when the water holding portion 181 is inserted into the condensation chamber 14, it can ensure that the water receiving box 18 is in a stable state as a whole, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, one end of the condensation chamber 14 is provided with a first air hole 141 connected to the processing chamber 13, and the other end of the condensation chamber 14 is provided with a second air hole 142 connected to the processing chamber 13, and the condensation member 15 is arranged between the first air hole 141 and the second air hole 142.

[0064] Specifically, when the air fryer is operating, steam in the processing chamber 13 can enter the condensing chamber 14 through one of the air holes. A portion of the steam will turn into condensed water when it encounters the condensing element 15, and the remaining steam can return to the processing chamber 13 through the other air hole, thereby improving steam utilization. One of the first air hole 141 and the second air hole 142 serves as an air inlet and the other as an air outlet, so that the hot air circulates only within the cooking chamber 102, solving the problem of hot air being discharged from the cooking chamber 102 in the prior art. The condensing chamber 14 extends a certain length along the length of the side of the reflector 11 near the rear side of the machine body, ensuring that condensed water is formed during the steam flow within the condensing chamber 14, and preventing the flow path from being too short and affecting the formation of condensed water.

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.
