Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air fryers, and in particular to an air fryer which is convenient to store. Background Art

[0002] Common drawer-style air fryers typically have an air outlet on the rear side of the unit. Early models had outlets opening to the side of the unit, which could cause hot air to blow directly onto the wall or items behind the unit, potentially causing burns or damage. To address this issue, some air fryers have upward-opening outlets to direct the hot air upward, thus avoiding the negative effects of this direct airflow.

[0003] When using an upward-opening air outlet, the air outlet structure must protrude from the body of the air fryer. For example, the air outlet grille disclosed in patent CN217744077U protrudes from the outer wall of the air fryer, resulting in an increase in the radial dimensions of the air fryer as a whole. This, in turn, increases the size of the product packaging, increasing packaging and shipping costs. Furthermore, when the air fryer is left idle, foreign matter such as dust and insects can easily enter the air outlet, compromising hygiene and potentially causing blockage. This increases the user's cleaning workload and hinders the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an air fryer which is easy to store, and aims to solve the problem that the existing air outlet structure protrudes from the machine body and the air outlet part cannot be adjusted, which leads to an increase in the radial size of the machine, and further leads to an increase in the packaging size and high packaging material costs.

[0005] The utility model discloses an air fryer that is easy to store, comprising a body and a reflective cover arranged in the body, wherein the reflective cover divides the space in the body into an upper electrical chamber and a lower cooking chamber. The air fryer is further provided with an air outlet member movably connected to the body, wherein the cooking chamber is connected to the atmosphere through the air outlet member, the air outlet member is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet member is retractably mounted on the body, wherein the air outlet member has a first position protruding from the body and a second position retracted into the body.

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

[0007] In the first position, the air outlet is at least partially exposed; in the second position, the air outlet is completely blocked.

[0008] The air outlet member includes a peripheral wall extending along the telescopic direction of the air outlet member and a side wall sealed at the outer end of the peripheral wall. The air outlet is arranged on the peripheral wall of the air outlet member. The air outlet member moves outward relative to the body so that the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet increases, and the air outlet member moves inward relative to the body so that the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet decreases.

[0009] The air outlet member includes a peripheral wall extending along the extension and contraction direction of the air outlet member and a side wall sealed at the outer end of the peripheral wall. The air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the air outlet member. In the first position and the second position, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is the same.

[0010] The air outlet piece is slidably connected to the body, and the body is provided with a horizontal guide rail, and the air outlet piece can be extended and retracted along a straight line relative to the body along the guide rail; or, the air outlet piece is hinged to the body, and the body is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail, and the air outlet piece can be rotated and retracted along the guide rail relative to the body.

[0011] A motor bracket for mounting the motor is provided in the electrical cavity, the motor bracket abuts against the inner side wall of the machine body, and the guide rail is provided on the motor bracket.

[0012] The air outlet member is provided with a positioning portion, and the guide rail is provided with a plurality of matching portions on the telescopic path of the air outlet member. When the air outlet member switches positions, the positioning portion is engaged with different matching portions.

[0013] When the air outlet member is in the second position, the air outlet member is flush with the outer wall of the machine body.

[0014] The air outlet piece is provided with a hand hole.

[0015] One of the positioning portion and the matching portion is a convex hump, and the other is a concave groove.

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

[0017] 1. This application incorporates a retractable, adjustable air outlet. When in use, the outlet protrudes from the main body to meet the exhaust requirements of the cooking chamber. When not in use, the outlet retracts into the main body for storage, reducing the radial dimensions of the machine and, in turn, its packaging size, saving on foam and outer box costs. Furthermore, the retractable outlet reduces its protrusion from the main body, providing dust protection and reducing the risk of foreign objects such as mosquitoes entering the air outlet. This improves the cleanliness of the machine and reduces cleaning workload for the user.

[0018] 2. On the basis of the telescopic adjustment of the air outlet member, the size of the air outlet can be adjusted at the same time. For example, in the first position, the air outlet is at least partially exposed. By discharging the water vapor in the cooking cavity, the moisture in the food can be reduced, and a dry or crisp taste can be obtained; in the second position, the air outlet is completely blocked, the cooking cavity does not exhaust air to the outside, and the moisture in the food is completely locked, which is conducive to obtaining a fresh and tender taste; that is, by adjusting the air outlet of the cooking cavity, different tastes can be provided for different ingredients, enriching the user's processing needs.

[0019] 3. In order to adjust the size of the air outlet by telescopic adjustment of the air outlet piece, the air outlet can be set on the peripheral wall of the air outlet piece extending along the telescopic direction of the air outlet piece, so that the air outlet piece can increase the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet by bulging outward, and conversely, the air outlet piece can shrink inward to reduce the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet, so as to form different air volumes for different ingredients and improve the taste of the food.

[0020] 4. It is understandable that when the air outlet is set to open laterally, even if the air outlet piece is telescopically adjusted, the air outlet area will not be affected, so the air outlet area of ​​a fixed size can be set to improve the air outlet form.

[0021] 5. Under the premise of the telescopic setting of the air outlet piece, the air outlet piece can be telescoped along a straight line or rotated and telescoped along an arc, which enriches the connection method between the air outlet piece and the body and the operation method of the air outlet piece. On this basis, the body is provided with a guide rail for the air outlet piece to slide, which can ensure smooth adjustment of the air outlet piece and enhance the user's operating feel.

[0022] 6. In order to simplify the structural configuration, the guide rail can be set on the motor bracket used to install the motor. The motor bracket serves two purposes and there is no need to set up additional guide rail accessories, which can promote the compactness of the structural arrangement within the machine body.

[0023] 7. In order to improve the stability of the air outlet piece in different adjustment positions and prevent the air outlet piece from accidentally extending or retracting and affecting the air outlet, the air outlet piece is provided with a positioning portion, and the guide rail is provided with a plurality of matching portions on the extension and retraction path of the air outlet piece. When the air outlet piece is adjusted to each position, the positioning portion can be engaged with the corresponding matching portion to lock the air outlet piece, thereby improving the reliability and stability of use.

[0024] 8. In order to reduce the storage size of the machine as much as possible and improve the appearance of the machine, when the air outlet piece is in the second position, the air outlet piece is flush with the outer wall of the body, which can not only reduce the packaging size and realize dust-proof protection of the air outlet piece, but also make the overall outer surface of the body smooth and simple, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0025] 9. To facilitate users to operate the air outlet, a hand hole is provided on the side wall of the air outlet. Users can push and pull the air outlet conveniently by holding the hand hole with their fingers.

[0026] 10. The air outlet piece is locked by the cooperation of the positioning part and the matching part, and on the premise that one of the positioning part and the matching part is a convex bump and the other is a groove, in order to make the adjustment of the air outlet piece smoother and save the user's effort, a flexible convex bump is used. When the user pushes and pulls the air outlet piece, the flexible convex bump is easy to deform and fall out of the current groove, which can avoid the user's strong operation and help improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the present application provides an air fryer that is easy to store, including a body 10 and a reflective cover arranged in the body 10, the reflective cover divides the space in the body 10 into an electrical cavity above and a cooking cavity below, the air fryer is also provided with an air outlet member 11 movably connected to the body 10, the cooking cavity is connected to the atmosphere through the air outlet member 11, the air outlet member 11 is provided with an air outlet 12, the air outlet member 11 is retractably mounted on the body 10, the air outlet member 11 has a first position protruding from the body 10 and a second position retracted into the body 10.

[0052] This application provides a retractable and adjustable air outlet 11. When in use, the air outlet 11 protrudes from the body 10 to meet the exhaust requirements of the cooking chamber. When not in use, the air outlet 11 retracts into the body 10 for storage, reducing the radial dimensions of the machine, thereby reducing the packaging size of the machine and saving on foam and outer box costs. Furthermore, the retraction of the air outlet 11 reduces the protrusion of the air outlet 11 from the body 10, providing dust protection, reducing the risk of foreign objects such as mosquitoes entering the air outlet 12, improving the cleanliness of the machine, and saving the user cleaning workload.

[0053] Specifically, the air fryer can be either a clamshell or drawer-type air fryer. A heating element and a hot fan 13 are provided within the cooking chamber. A motor for driving the hot fan 13 is provided within the electrical chamber. The air outlet 11 is disposed, for example, at the rear of the body 10 to prevent high-temperature steam from blowing directly onto the user and scalding the user. The air outlet 11 of the present application has a second, stowed position. Compared to existing fixed air outlets 11, the air outlet 11 protrudes less relative to the body 10 when stowed, thereby reducing the radial size of the machine. This reduces storage space during daily use and reduces the packaging size of the product upon shipment, thereby saving packaging costs.

[0054] When the air outlet member 11 is in the first position, the cooking cavity is connected to the atmosphere through the air outlet 12. During operation, the cooking cavity exhausts air outward through the air outlet 12, removing moisture from the food and cooking the food. It should be noted that the air outlet 12 is not only used to discharge hot air from the cooking cavity. In some embodiments, a heat dissipation duct 15 is provided in the appliance cavity, and a heat dissipation fan 14 is provided in the heat dissipation duct 15. The air outlet 12 can also be used to discharge cold air from the heat dissipation duct 15 to improve the performance of the air outlet member 11. For example, hot air and cold air can be mixed and discharged, which helps to reduce the temperature at the air outlet 12 and prevent the outlet air temperature from being too high and causing burns to the user or damage to surrounding objects. Of course, in other embodiments, the air outlet 12 is only used to discharge hot air from the cooking cavity, and the cold air in the heat dissipation duct 15 is discharged through other air outlets.

[0055] When the air outlet member 11 is in the second position, the degree to which the air outlet member 11 protrudes from the body 10 is smaller than that in the first position. In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 or Figure 11 As shown, when the air outlet member 11 is in the second position, it is flush with the outer wall of the body 10. This not only reduces the storage space and packaging size of the device, provides dust protection for the air outlet member 11, but also makes the overall outer surface of the body 10 smooth and simple, enhancing the aesthetics. In another embodiment, the air outlet member 11 protrudes slightly from the body 10. In yet another embodiment, the air outlet member 11 is recessed relative to the body 10.

[0056] The conventional air outlet member 11 has a fixed air outlet area, and the air outlet volume of the cooking cavity cannot be adjusted, which is not conducive to providing different tastes for different ingredients.

[0057] In the present application, based on the telescopic adjustment of the air outlet member 11, the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 can be adjusted at the same time. For example, in one embodiment, in the first position, the air outlet 12 is at least partially exposed. By discharging the water vapor in the cooking cavity, the moisture in the food can be reduced, and a dry or crisp taste can be obtained; in the second position, the air outlet 12 is completely blocked, the cooking cavity does not exhaust air to the outside, and the moisture in the food is completely locked, which is conducive to obtaining a fresh and tender taste; that is, by adjusting the air outlet of the cooking cavity, different tastes can be provided for different ingredients, enriching the user's processing needs.

[0058] In one embodiment, the air outlet member 11 includes a peripheral wall 111 extending along the extension and contraction direction of the air outlet member 11 and a side wall 112 sealed at the outer end of the peripheral wall 111. The air outlet 12 is arranged on the peripheral wall 111 of the air outlet member 11. The air outlet member 11 moves outward relative to the body 10 so that the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 increases, and the air outlet member 11 moves inward relative to the body 10 so that the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 decreases.

[0059] Specifically, in Figures 1 to 3 In the example, the air outlet member 11 is in the shape of a cubic cylinder, and its surrounding wall 111 includes a top plate, a bottom plate and two side plates. The air outlet 12 can be set on the surrounding wall 111 in any direction. Preferably, the air outlet 12 is set on the top plate of the surrounding wall 111. By discharging air upward, hot air can be prevented from blowing directly onto the wall or surrounding objects, thereby protecting the wall or surrounding objects.

[0060] exist Figures 8 to 11 In the example, the air outlet member 11 is fan-shaped and cylindrical, and its peripheral wall 111 includes a top plate and two side plates. The air outlet 12 can be set on the peripheral wall 111 in any direction. Preferably, the air outlet 12 is set on the top plate of the peripheral wall 111. By discharging air upward, hot air can be prevented from blowing directly onto the wall or surrounding objects, thereby protecting the wall or surrounding objects.

[0061] In both examples, the outward movement of the air outlet member 11 increases the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12, and the inward movement of the air outlet member 11 reduces the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12. For example, a plurality of air outlet holes 121 are provided on the top plate of the peripheral wall 111. Figure 1 The air outlet member 11 is taken as an example to illustrate. Figure 1 When the air outlet 121 is in the position, the air outlet 121 is fully exposed. In this processing mode, the exhaust volume can be increased, which is beneficial to reduce the moisture in the food and obtain a dry or crisp taste, such as French fries; by pushing the air piece 11 inward to reach Figure 2The middle position, at this time, only one row of air holes 121 is exposed, which can reduce the air volume, so that some moisture is retained inside the food, and a crispy outside and tender inside taste can be obtained, such as fried chicken wings. Further, the air element 11 is pushed inward to reach the second position, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet 121 is completely blocked, forming a storage position for the air outlet member 11, which is beneficial to reducing the storage space and preventing dust, mosquitoes, etc. from falling into the air outlet 121 and affecting hygiene in use.

[0062] The above embodiment provides a method for adjusting the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12. It can be understood that the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 of the present application can also be fixed, and the air outlet part 11 can have only two positions. The user does not need to adjust the air outlet 12 according to different ingredients, which can save user operation and improve convenience of use.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, the air outlet piece 11 includes a peripheral wall 111 extending along the telescopic direction of the air outlet piece 11 and a side wall 112 sealed at the outer end of the peripheral wall 111. The air outlet 12 is arranged on the side wall 112 of the air outlet piece 11. In the first position and the second position, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 is the same.

[0064] exist Figure 1 and Figure 8 In the two air outlet member 11 structures, the air outlet 12 is arranged on the outer side wall 112 of the air outlet member 11. Therefore, no matter how the air outlet member 11 is extended or retracted and its position is changed, the air outlet area is not affected and the air outlet area can be kept unchanged.

[0065] On the basis of the above embodiments, the connection mode of the air outlet member 11 and the body 10 and the adjustment mode of the air outlet member 11 of the present application can be diversified. For example, in one embodiment, the air outlet member 11 is slidably connected to the body 10, and the body 10 is provided with a horizontal guide rail. The air outlet member 11 can be extended and retracted along a straight line relative to the body 10 along the guide rail. Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, when the air outlet member 11 is in the first position, the air outlet member 11 protrudes from the body 10. When the air outlet member 11 is pushed inward, the air outlet member 11 retracts along a straight line to Figure 3 , the air outlet member 11 reaches the second position to form a storage state.

[0066] In another embodiment, the air outlet member 11 is hinged to the body 10, and the body 10 is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail, and the air outlet member 11 can rotate and extend relative to the body 10 along the guide rail. Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, when the air outlet member 11 is in the first position, the air outlet member 11 protrudes from the body 10. When the air outlet member 11 is pushed inward, the air outlet member 11 rotates and retracts to reach Figure 11 , the air outlet member 11 reaches the second position to form a storage state. Figure 8As shown, a rotating shaft 113 is provided at the lower end of the air outlet member 11, which can be hinged to the body 10. Limiting ribs 114 are provided on both sides of the air outlet member 11 to prevent the air outlet member 11 from rotating too much and falling out of the body 10, thereby ensuring installation reliability.

[0067] In the above two embodiments, by providing a guide rail, it is possible to ensure smooth adjustment of the air outlet member 11 and improve the user's operating feel.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to simplify the structural configuration, the guide rail can be provided on the motor bracket 16 for mounting the motor, such as Figures 4 to 6 、 Figures 12 to 14 As shown, a motor bracket 16 for mounting the motor is provided in the electrical cavity. The motor bracket 16 abuts against the inner side wall 112 of the body 10. A guide rail is provided on the motor bracket 16. The motor bracket 16 serves two purposes and does not require additional guide rail accessories, thereby promoting the compactness of the structural arrangement in the body 10.

[0069] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the air outlet member 11 at different adjustment positions and prevent the air outlet member 11 from accidentally extending or retracting, which could affect the air flow, the air outlet member 11 is provided with a positioning portion. The guide rail is provided with multiple mating portions along the extension and retraction path of the air outlet member 11. When the air outlet member 11 is adjusted to each position, the positioning portion can engage with the corresponding mating portion to lock the air outlet member 11, thereby improving its reliability and stability. Preferably, one of the positioning portion and the mating portion is a convex bump, and the other is a groove.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet member 11 is provided with a first groove 115 and a second groove 116, and the guide rail is provided with a first convex bump 161 and a second convex bump 162. Figure 1 When the air outlet 12 of the air outlet member 11 is in the position, the air outlet 12 is completely exposed, and the two grooves and the two convex bumps do not match; when the air outlet member 11 is adjusted to Figure 5 When the air outlet 12 is partially exposed, the second convex bump 162 is plugged into the first groove 115; when the air outlet member 11 is further adjusted to Figure 6 , the air outlet member 11 is accommodated, and the first convex bump 161 is plugged into and matched with the first groove 115 , and the second convex bump 162 is plugged into and matched with the second groove 116 .

[0071] like Figure 12 As shown, the air outlet member 11 is provided with a third convex bump 117, and the guide rail is provided with a third groove 163, a fourth groove 164 and a fifth groove 165. Figure 12 When the air outlet 12 of the air outlet member 11 is in the position, the air outlet 12 is fully exposed, and the third convex bump 117 is plugged into the third groove 163; when the air outlet member 11 is adjusted to Figure 13 When the air outlet 12 is partially exposed, the third convex bump 117 is plugged into the fourth groove 164; when the air outlet member 11 is further adjusted to Figure 14 , the air outlet member 11 is accommodated, and the third protrusion 117 is plugged into and matched with the fifth groove 165.

[0072] Preferably, the convex bump is flexible, such as being made of silicone material. When the user pushes or pulls the air outlet member 11, the flexible convex bump is easily deformed and comes out of the current groove, which can avoid the user from operating with great force and helps to improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0073] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the positioning portion and the matching portion may not be snap-fitted, but may be limited by magnetic attraction, that is, corresponding magnets are set at the corresponding positions of the positioning portion and the matching portion. When the air outlet piece 11 moves to the desired position, the purpose of locking the air outlet piece 11 can also be achieved by magnetic attraction between the positioning portion and the target matching portion.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, a hand hole 17 is provided on the side wall 112 of the air outlet member 11. Figure 3 or Figure 8 As shown, it is very convenient for the user to push and pull the air outlet piece 11 by holding the hand hole 17 with his fingers.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the opening height of the hand hole 17 is L1, 15mm≤L1≤30mm, which can avoid L1 being too small and making it difficult for fingers to insert, and too large affecting the size of the air outlet piece 11 and increasing the cost; the width of the hand position size is L2, 25mm≤L2≤45mm, which can avoid L2 being too small and blocking the hand and making it difficult to insert, and too large causing the air outlet piece 11 to extend too much into the body 10 and interfere with the internal structure of the cavity; the height of the hand rib position is L3, 10mm≤L3≤20mm, which can avoid L3 being too small and making it difficult for fingers to exert force, and too large increasing the size of the air outlet piece 11 and increasing the cost.

[0076] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7 from the rear side of the machine, the width of the handle is L6, and the design size is 40mm≤L6≤80mm, which can avoid L6 being too small and difficult to put in for fingers, and the size of the air outlet piece 11 being too large needs to be increased simultaneously, which wastes material costs; to prevent the air outlet piece 11 from being pulled out of the cavity, the matching hole size of the body 10 shell is L4, the width of the air outlet piece 11 is L5, and the design size is 2mm≤L5-L4≤6mm. If the air outlet piece 11 is too small, it is easy to be pulled out with force, and if it is too large, it wastes material costs. Relying on the interference on both sides of the air outlet piece 11, the air outlet piece 11 can be prevented from falling off the body 10.

[0077] It can be understood that in this application, the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 refers to the size of the area of ​​the air outlet 12 used for air outlet, and does not refer to the area of ​​the air outlet 12 inherent in the air outlet part 11. When the air outlet 12 is blocked, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet will also be reduced accordingly.

[0078] It can be understood that the technical problem solved by this application is that the existing air outlet structure protrudes from the body, resulting in an increase in the radial size of the machine and a higher packaging cost. This is unrelated to the air outlet direction of the air outlet 12, and the air outlet 12 does not necessarily have to be limited to being set at the upper end of the air outlet part 11.

[0079] The technical solutions protected by this utility model are not limited to the above-described embodiments. It should be noted that the combination of the technical solutions of any one embodiment with the technical solutions of one or more other embodiments falls within the scope of protection of this utility model. Although the above description of this utility model has been provided in detail using general instructions and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements can be made based on this utility model. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
