Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0037] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 The housing assembly 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described. The housing assembly 100 is applied to a cooking utensil, and the housing assembly 100 is used to mount other components of the cooking utensil, wherein the cooking utensil may be, but is not limited to, an air fryer, an oven, and a microwave oven.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The shell assembly 100 includes: a first shell 10 and a second shell 20. A protrusion 11 is provided on the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20. The protrusion 11 on one of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 is engaged with the other of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20.

[0039] The protrusion 11 is provided on the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the protrusion 11 on one of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 is clamped with the other of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 means that the protrusion 11 is provided on the first shell 10 and the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is clamped with the second shell 20, or the protrusion 11 is provided on the second shell 20 and the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is clamped with the first shell 10, or both the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are provided with protrusions 11, the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is clamped with the second shell 20, and the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is clamped with the first shell 10.

[0040] The shell assembly 100 provided in the present application is applied to cooking utensils, and is compared with the prior art. By providing a protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the protrusion 11 on one of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 is engaged with the other of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled together. The assembly method is simple, the processing steps are few, and it is also beneficial to reduce the number of parts. For example, compared with using rivets or screws to assemble the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 together, the shell assembly of the present application does not need to punch holes on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and also omits parts such as rivets or screws. In addition, the protrusion 11 can also strengthen the strength of the connection between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the shell assembly 100 is not easily concave and deformed inward when impacted, thereby effectively ensuring the flatness of the overall appearance of the shell assembly 100, which is beneficial to improving the overall quality of the cooking utensil product.

[0041] Optionally, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 may be made of metal or plastic. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are both made of metal, which gives the shell assembly 100 high hardness and strength, effectively resisting external impacts and internal pressure, and effectively preventing the cooking appliance from deforming or damaging during use. Furthermore, the shell assembly 100 is not easily aged and has good wear resistance, which helps extend the service life of the cooking appliance and reduce its cost.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2A protrusion 11 is provided on the inner side of the end of the first housing 10 that is closest to the second housing 20. The protrusion 11 on the first housing 10 extends toward the second housing 20 and engages with the inner side of the end of the second housing 20 that is closest to the first housing 10. During assembly, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are aligned, and then the first housing 10 and / or the second housing 20 are moved so that the protrusion 11 on the first housing 10 is inserted into the second housing 20 and abuts the inner side of the second housing 20.

[0043] By snapping the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 into the inner side of the second shell 20, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled together. At the same time, the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 can strengthen the strength of the second shell 20, effectively preventing the second shell 20 from being concave and deformed when it is hit. In addition, the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 can be hidden in the shell assembly 100, thereby effectively improving the appearance of the shell assembly 100.

[0044] Optionally, the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is integrally formed with the first shell 10 , which has a simple process and is easy to manufacture.

[0045] Optionally, the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20 is provided with multiple protrusions 11 spaced apart along the circumference of the first shell 10. By simultaneously engaging the multiple protrusions 11 at the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20 with the second shell 20, the secure assembly between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 is effectively enhanced. Furthermore, the multiple protrusions 11 at the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20 cover a larger circumferential area of ​​the second shell 20, effectively strengthening the circumferential structural strength of the second shell 20 and making it less susceptible to denting or deformation in the event of a collision.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protrusion 11 is provided on the inner side of the end of the second housing 20 that is closest to the first housing 10. The protrusion 11 on the second housing 20 extends toward the first housing 10 and engages with the inner side of the end of the first housing 10 that is closest to the second housing 20. During assembly, the first and second housings 10 and 20 are aligned, and then the first and / or second housings 10 and 20 are moved so that the protrusion 11 on the second housing 20 is inserted into the first housing 10 and abuts the inner side of the first housing 10.

[0047] By snapping the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 into the inner side of the first shell 10, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled together. At the same time, the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 can strengthen the strength of the first shell 10, effectively preventing the first shell 10 from being concave and deformed when it is hit. In addition, the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 can be hidden in the shell assembly 100, thereby effectively improving the appearance of the shell assembly 100.

[0048] Optionally, the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is integrally formed with the second shell 20 , which has a simple process and is easy to manufacture.

[0049] Optionally, the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10 is provided with multiple protrusions 11 spaced apart along the circumference of the second shell 20. By simultaneously engaging the multiple protrusions 11 at the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10 with the first shell 10, the secure assembly between the first and second shells 10 is effectively enhanced. Furthermore, the multiple protrusions 11 at the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10 cover a larger circumferential area of ​​the first shell 10, effectively strengthening the circumferential structural strength of the first shell 10 and making it less susceptible to denting or deformation in the event of a collision.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protrusion 11 is provided on the inner side of the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20. The protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 extends toward the first shell 10 and engages with the inner side of the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10. A protrusion 11 is provided on the inner side of the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10. The protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 extends toward the first shell 10 and engages with the inner side of the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20. The protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 are arranged alternately. During assembly, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are aligned, and then the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 are moved so that the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is inserted into the second shell 20 and abuts the inner side of the first shell 10, and the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is inserted into the first shell 10 and abuts the inner side of the first shell 10.

[0051] By snapping the protrusion 11 provided on the first shell 10 with the inner side of the second shell 20, and snapping the protrusion 11 provided on the second shell 20 with the inner side of the first shell 10, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled together, effectively improving the stability of the assembly between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20. When the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is snapped with the inner side of the second shell 20, the strength of the second shell 20 can be strengthened, effectively preventing the second shell 20 from being concave and deformed when a collision occurs. When the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is snapped with the inner side of the first shell 10, the strength of the first shell 10 can be strengthened, effectively preventing the first shell 10 from being concave and deformed when a collision occurs. At the same time, the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 can be hidden in the shell assembly 100, thereby effectively improving the aesthetics of the appearance of the shell assembly 100. In addition, by staggering the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 , interference between the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 is avoided when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled.

[0052] Optionally, the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 are staggered along the circumferential direction of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 to avoid interference between the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled. Alternatively, the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 are staggered along the radial direction of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20. In this way, even if the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 are located at the same position in the circumferential direction of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, interference between the protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 can be avoided when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are assembled.

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20 is provided with multiple protrusions 11 spaced apart along the circumference of the first shell 10, and the end of the second shell 20 near the first shell 10 is provided with multiple protrusions 11 spaced apart along the circumference of the second shell 20. The multiple protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the multiple protrusions 11 on the second shell 20 are staggered along the circumference of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20. The provision of multiple protrusions 11 on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 effectively improves the stability of the assembly between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20. The multiple protrusions 11 on the end of the first shell 10 near the second shell 20 cover a larger circumferential area of ​​the second shell 20, effectively strengthening the circumferential structural strength of the second shell 20 and preventing it from denting or deforming when impacted. The multiple protrusions 11 on the end of the second housing 20 closest to the first housing 10 cover a larger circumferential area of ​​the first housing 10, effectively strengthening the circumferential structural strength of the first housing 10 and preventing it from denting or deforming when impacted. Furthermore, the multiple protrusions 11 on the first housing 10 and the multiple protrusions 11 on the second housing 20 are staggered along the circumference of the first and second housings 10, 20, preventing interference between the protrusions 11 on the first and second housings 10, 20 during assembly.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protrusion 11 has a sheet-like structure. By adopting a sheet-like structure for the protrusion 11, the contact area between the protrusion 11 and the first shell 10 or the second shell 20 is effectively increased when the protrusion 11 is snapped together, thereby effectively strengthening the structural strength of the first shell 10 or the second shell 20, making it less likely for the first shell 10 or the second shell 20 to be dented or deformed when impacted. In addition, the sheet-like structure of the protrusion 11 makes the protrusion 11 thinner, making it easier to snap the protrusion 11 to the first shell 10 or the second shell 20, and convenient operation.

[0055] Alternatively, the protrusion 11 may be a sheet-like structure having a rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, or arcuate shape. For example, when the protrusion 11 is a triangular or trapezoidal sheet-like structure, the protrusion 11 may be formed with a tapered portion. This allows the protrusion 11 to be easily inserted into a predetermined position of the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 under the guidance of the tapered portion. When the protrusion 11 is a rectangular or arcuate sheet-like structure, the structural strength of the protrusion 11 itself is effectively enhanced, making the protrusion 11 less susceptible to deformation.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the protrusion 11 may also be a columnar structure, such as a cylindrical or rectangular column.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, the protrusion 11 has a flange. The flange can have various configurations. For example, the flange can extend from one side of the protrusion 11 toward the inside of the housing assembly 100 and form a roughly L-shaped structure with the protrusion 11. Alternatively, the second flange can be folded together with the protrusion 11. The provision of the flange helps to strengthen the structural strength of the protrusion 11, making it less likely to deform.

[0058] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 A first limiting groove 211 is provided on the inner side of one end of the first shell 10 close to the second shell 20, and a protrusion 11 is provided on the end of the second shell 20 close to the first shell 10. The protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is inserted into the first limiting groove 211 to limit the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20, effectively preventing relative movement between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the shell assembly 100.

[0059] In other embodiments of the present application, a second limiting groove is provided on the inner side of one end of the second shell 20 close to the first shell 10, and a protrusion 11 is provided on one end of the first shell 10 close to the second shell 20. The protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is inserted into the second limiting groove to limit the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10, effectively preventing relative movement between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the shell assembly 100.

[0060] In other embodiments of the present application, a first limiting groove 211 is provided on the inner side of one end of the first shell 10 close to the second shell 20, and a protrusion 11 is provided on the end of the second shell 20 close to the first shell 10. The protrusion 11 on the second shell 20 is inserted into the first limiting groove 211 to limit the protrusion 11 on the second shell 20. A second limiting groove is provided on the inner side of one end of the second shell 20 close to the first shell 10, and a protrusion 11 is provided on the end of the first shell 10 close to the second shell 20. The protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 is inserted into the second limiting groove to limit the protrusion 11 on the first shell 10, effectively preventing relative movement between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the shell assembly 100.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first shell 10 is a side shell, and the first shell 10 has a first connecting end 12 and a second connecting end 13 arranged opposite to each other. There are two second shells 20, namely an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 is connected to the first connecting end 12 through the protrusion 11, and the lower shell 22 is connected to the second connecting end 13 through the protrusion 11.

[0062] Optionally, a protrusion 11 is provided on the first connecting end 12, and the protrusion 11 on the first connecting end 12 is snap-fitted to the upper shell 21, or a protrusion 11 is provided on the upper shell 21, and the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 is snap-fitted to the first connecting end 12, or protrusions 11 are provided on both the first connecting end 12 and the upper shell 21, and the protrusion 11 on the first connecting end 12 is snap-fitted to the upper shell 21, and the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 is snap-fitted to the first connecting end 12.

[0063] Optionally, a protrusion 11 is provided on the second connecting end 13, and the protrusion 11 on the second connecting end 13 is snap-fitted to the lower shell 22, or a protrusion 11 is provided on the lower shell 22, and the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 is snap-fitted to the second connecting end 13, or protrusions 11 are provided on both the second connecting end 13 and the lower shell 22, and the protrusion 11 on the second connecting end 13 is snap-fitted to the lower shell 22, and the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 is snap-fitted to the second connecting end 13.

[0064] It should be noted that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are also used to be fixedly connected to other components of the cooking utensil, so that the first shell 10 is indirectly fixedly connected to the second shell 20 through other components of the cooking utensil, thereby preventing the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 from being separated along the plug-in direction of the protrusion 11. For example, when the cooking utensil is an air fryer, the lower shell 22 is also fixedly connected to the base for supporting the food container, the base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surrounding edge, and the upper shell 21 is also fixedly connected to the top of the surrounding edge. The first shell 10 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the surrounding edge.

[0065] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The present application also provides a cooking utensil, comprising the shell assembly 100 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0066] The cooking utensil provided in the present application adopts the above-mentioned shell assembly 100. The above-mentioned shell assembly 100 is provided with a protrusion 11 on the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, so that the protrusion 11 on one of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 is clamped with the other of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, thereby assembling the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 together. The assembly method is simple, the processing steps are few, and it is also beneficial to reduce the number of parts. In addition, the protrusion 11 can also strengthen the strength of the connection between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the shell assembly 100 is not easily concave and deformed inward when it is hit, thereby effectively ensuring the flatness of the overall appearance of the shell assembly 100, which is beneficial to improving the overall quality of the cooking utensil product.

[0067] Optionally, the cooking appliance is an air fryer, and the housing assembly 100 is used to install other components of the air fryer, such as a circulation fan, a heating tube, a food container, a base, and a surrounding edge.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, see Figure 4 To the picture Figure 6 The cooking appliance further includes an adapter rack 200. The number of the adapter racks 200 is two, namely an upper adapter rack 220 and a lower adapter rack 230. The upper adapter rack 220 is arranged in the first connecting end 12, and the outer peripheral edge of the upper adapter rack 220 and the inner side of the first connecting end 12 form a first limiting groove 211. Figure 5 , the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 is inserted into the first limiting groove 211. The lower adapter frame 230 is arranged in the second connection end 13, and the outer peripheral edge of the lower adapter frame 230 and the inner side of the second connection end 13 form the first limiting groove 211, and the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 is inserted into the first limiting groove 211, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 By inserting the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 into the first limiting groove 211 of the first connecting end 12, the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 is limited in position, effectively ensuring the stability of the protrusion 11 on the upper shell 21 abutting the inner side of the first connecting end 12. By inserting the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 into the first limiting groove 211 of the second connecting end 13, the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 is limited in position, effectively ensuring the stability of the protrusion 11 on the lower shell 22 abutting the inner side of the second connecting end 13.
