Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular to an air fryer. Background Art
[0002] In the related art, in order to improve the quality of food, it is often necessary to introduce external air into the cooking cavity inside the cooking device.
[0003] However, in actual use, the timing of introducing external air is uncontrollable, resulting in parameters such as humidity and oxygen content in the cooking chamber not meeting the standards, resulting in the cooking equipment having uncontrollable ventilation process and unable to adjust the ventilation volume.
[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] Therefore, the utility model proposes an air fryer.
[0007] In view of this, the air fryer provided by the present invention includes: a main body, which includes a cooking cavity; an air induced draft component, which is arranged in the main body, and the air induced draft component includes an air duct, which connects the cooking cavity and the space outside the main body; a temperature control valve, which is arranged in the air induced draft component, and the temperature control valve can operate according to the temperature in the cooking cavity and / or the air duct, and adjust the flow rate of the air duct through the operation.
[0008] The present application defines an air fryer, which includes a body, which is a frame structure of the air fryer and is used to position, protect, and support other working structures of the air fryer. The body is formed with a cooking cavity, in which food is placed and processed into finished food.
[0009] The air fryer further comprises an air induction component which is arranged in the main body and comprises an air duct which communicates the cooking cavity with the space outside the main body.
[0010] During operation, the gas flowing in the cooking cavity forms an internal circulation airflow in the cooking cavity. 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 circulation airflow, the pressure in the cooking cavity is lower than the pressure of the external environment of the body. Under the action of the pressure difference, the external gas is pressed into the air duct and forms an external air flow in the air duct. The external air flow flows from the second end of the air duct to the first end of the air duct. After entering the cooking cavity, the external air flow merges into the internal circulation airflow, allowing the cooking cavity to continuously introduce external air during operation. In this way, the humidity, oxygen content and other cooking parameters in the cooking cavity are adjusted with the help of external air to meet the cooking requirements of specific foods.
[0011] On this basis, the air fryer also includes a temperature control valve, which is connected to the air induced component. The temperature control valve can perform actions according to the temperature of the cooking chamber and / or according to the temperature in the air duct to adjust the flow of the air duct through action. Specifically, the temperature control valve can control the switching state of the air duct corresponding to the temperature value.
[0012] Specifically, when the air fryer is in standby mode or in the initial stages of the cooking process, the temperature in the cooking cavity and / or air duct is low, and the temperature control valve remains closed within the lower temperature range. At this time, the cooking cavity cannot introduce external airflow via the draft assembly. During the cooking process, the temperature and humidity in the cooking cavity and / or air duct gradually increase, while the oxygen content gradually decreases. When the temperature rises to a higher temperature range, the humidity in the cooking cavity is correspondingly in the higher humidity range, and the oxygen content is relatively low. At this point, the temperature control valve can respond to the rising temperature, opening the air duct. This allows the cooking cavity to introduce external airflow via the draft assembly, thereby timely adjusting the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content within the cooking cavity.
[0013] At the same time, the temperature control valve can not only control the opening and closing of the air duct, but also control the opening degree of the air duct, so as to accurately control the flow rate of fresh air in the process of introducing external fresh air.
[0014] Thus, by providing a temperature control valve, the air fryer can control the timing of the introduction of external airflow through the temperature control valve. This not only ensures that the humidity value, oxygen content, and other parameters in the cooking chamber meet cooking requirements, but also prevents dust and mosquitoes from entering the cooking chamber through the air duct when the air fryer is on standby. This solves the technical defects of the related art, such as uncontrollable ventilation timing and inability to guarantee food quality. This further achieves the technical effect of optimizing the air fryer structure, improving the practicality and controllability of the air fryer, improving the quality of the cooked food, and enhancing the user experience.
[0015] In addition, the air fryer provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:
[0016] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the air duct includes a first air duct, a first end of the first air duct is connected to the cooking cavity, and a second end of the first air duct is connected to the outside of the body.
[0017] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the air duct further includes a second air duct, the first end and the second end of the second air duct are both connected to the cooking cavity, and the first end of the first air duct is connected to the second air duct.
[0018] In this technical solution, the air induction assembly includes a first air duct and a second air duct. The first end of the second air duct communicates with the cooking cavity, and the second end of the second air duct also communicates with the cooking cavity. The first end of the first air duct communicates with the middle section of the second air duct, and the second end of the first air duct extends toward the outer surface of the main body and ultimately communicates with the space outside the main body. In other words, the air induction assembly consists of two air ducts, the first and second air ducts. The second air duct connects two different areas within the cooking cavity, and the first air duct connects the cooking cavity to the outside of the air fryer.
[0019] During operation, the gas flowing within the cooking chamber flows into the second air duct from one of the first and second ends of the second air duct, and ultimately flows out of the second air duct from the other end, forming an internal circulation airflow within the second air duct. Due to the characteristics of the fluid medium, during the flow of the fluid medium, the pressure in the area with high flow velocity is relatively low. Due to the presence of the internal circulation airflow, the pressure within the second air duct is relatively low compared to the pressure of the environment outside the main body. Due to the pressure difference, the external gas is pressed into the first air duct, forming an external air flow within the first air duct. The external air flow flows from the second end of the first air duct to the first end of the first air duct. After entering the second air duct, the external air flow merges with the internal circulation airflow and ultimately flows into the cooking chamber, allowing the cooking chamber to continuously introduce external air during operation. Thus, the external air is used to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content within the cooking chamber to meet the cooking requirements of specific foods.
[0020] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve is located in the air duct; the temperature control valve is used to adjust the flow area of the air duct.
[0021] In this technical solution, the temperature control valve is arranged on the first air duct, and the temperature control valve can perform corresponding actions according to the temperature in the first air duct, thereby controlling the on-off of the first air duct or controlling the opening degree of the first air duct.
[0022] Specifically, the temperature control valve can be set on the outside of the first air duct to control the switch and opening of the two ports of the first air duct. The temperature control valve can also be set inside the first air duct to control the flow area of the first air duct by adjusting the switch state of the temperature control valve itself.
[0023] Among them, the external air needs to flow into the first air duct first and then merge into the internal circulation airflow in the second air duct. Therefore, setting the temperature control valve in the first air duct can control the timing and rate of introduction of the external airflow without affecting the internal circulation airflow, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the practicality and controllability of the air fryer and improving the quality of the cooked food.
[0024] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve includes: a temperature sensing component, which can deform according to its own temperature; wherein the temperature sensing component includes a first state and at least one second state; when the temperature sensing component is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the temperature sensing component and the air duct is S1; when the temperature sensing component is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the temperature sensing component and the air duct is S2; S1 and S2 are not equal.
[0025] In this technical solution, the temperature-sensing component can deform according to its own temperature value, specifically by forming the temperature-sensing component into a memory metal. Specifically, when the temperature of the temperature-sensing component is in a relatively low temperature range, the temperature-sensing component remains in a first state. The ventilation area of the temperature-sensing component in the first state after cooperating with the air duct is S1. Specifically, the temperature-sensing component in the first state can block or cover the air inlet on the limiter to prevent external air from passing through the air inlet. When the temperature of the temperature-sensing component rises to a higher temperature range along with the temperature of the first air duct, the temperature-sensing component deforms and switches to a second state. In the second state, the ventilation area of the temperature-sensing component after cooperating with the air duct is S2. Specifically, the temperature-sensing component at least partially avoids the air inlet. When the air inlet is opened, external air can enter the second air duct and the cooking chamber through the air inlet, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the air induction component.
[0026] Specifically, according to the magnitude of the deformation, there may be multiple second states, and different second states correspond to different openings of the air inlet, so as to adjust the rate of introduction of external airflow.
[0027] Thus, by providing a temperature-sensing component, the temperature-controlled valve can automatically open and close based on the temperature within the first air duct, ensuring that the draft assembly can promptly introduce external air when the humidity within the cooking chamber is high and the oxygen content is low. Furthermore, the temperature-sensing component can operate autonomously without relying on an electronic control mechanism. This not only reduces the structural and electronic control complexity of the air fryer, but also helps reduce production costs, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of the air fryer.
[0028] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve includes: a limiter, which is arranged in the air duct, the limiter includes an air inlet, and the temperature sensing component is connected to the limiter.
[0029] In this technical solution, the temperature-controlled valve includes a stopper and a temperature-sensing component. The stopper is provided with an air inlet. When the air inlet is open, external air can pass through the stopper and merge into the internal circulating airflow within the second air duct. In this case, the induced draft component is in the open state. Correspondingly, when the air inlet is closed, external air is blocked from entering the second air duct. In this case, the induced draft component is in the closed state.
[0030] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the temperature sensing component includes: a first section, connected to the limit member, a second section, connected to the first section, and surrounding the first section; the first section and the second section are opposite to the air inlet, and the second section can move relative to the first section due to temperature changes; wherein, when the temperature sensing component is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the air inlet is S3; when the temperature sensing component is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the limit member is S4; S3 and S4 are not equal.
[0031] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the first section is separated from the air inlet. When the temperature sensing component is in the first state, the first section and the second section jointly cover the air inlet. When the temperature sensing component is in the second state, the second section moves relative to the first section, and at least part of the air inlet can be ventilated.
[0032] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the temperature sensing component includes: a first section, which is connected to the limiting component, the first section is opposite to the air inlet, and the first section is spaced apart from the air inlet; a second section, which is connected to the first section and surrounds the first section; wherein, when the temperature sensing component is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the air inlet is S3; when the temperature sensing component is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the limiting component is S4; S3 and S4 are not equal.
[0033] In this technical solution, the temperature-sensing component includes a cylindrical first section and an annular second section. The second section is connected to the first section and surrounds the first section. The first and second sections can be integrally formed from a memory metal. The first section is connected to a retaining member, facing the air inlet on the retaining member with a gap between them. The edge of the second section extends toward the side of the air inlet.
[0034] Specifically, when the temperature-sensing component is in the first state, the second section and the air inlet cooperate to form a ventilation area S3. Specifically, the second section bends relative to the first section toward the position of the stopper, and the edge of the second section engages the stopper. This seals the gap between the first section and the stopper, preventing external air from flowing into or out of the gap and preventing external air, dust, or insects from entering the cooking chamber. Correspondingly, when the temperature-sensing component is in the second state, the second section and the stopper cooperate to form a ventilation area S4. Specifically, the second section tilts upward relative to the first section, separating from the stopper, allowing external air to flow into the cooking chamber through the air inlet.
[0035] In this technical solution, the sheet-shaped temperature-sensing component is less difficult to process, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the temperature control valve. At the same time, the structure can reserve sufficient deformation space for the second section, reducing the possibility of the second section getting stuck, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature control valve.
[0036] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve further includes: a heat conducting component, a first end of the heat conducting component is connected to the temperature sensing component, and a second end of the heat conducting component is located in the second air duct or the cooking cavity.
[0037] In this technical solution, the temperature control valve also includes a heat-conducting component, a first end of the heat-conducting component is connected to the temperature-sensing component, and a second end of the heat-conducting component extends to the second air duct, or the second end of the heat-conducting component extends to the cooking cavity.
[0038] During cooking, the first air duct is close to the outside world, and the temperature inside it is significantly affected by the ambient temperature, resulting in a temperature difference between the first duct and the cooking chamber. To address this, the heat-conducting component transfers heat from the cooking chamber or the second air duct to the temperature-sensing component, causing it to approach the current temperature of the cooking chamber. This prevents the temperature difference between the first air duct and the cooking chamber from affecting the timing of the temperature control valve's operation, thereby improving the control accuracy of the timing of external airflow introduction and ensuring that the air fryer can timely adjust the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content in the cooking chamber by introducing external air. This improves the reliability of the air fryer and enhances the quality of the cooked food.
[0039] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the air induced component includes: a first pipe, which is arranged on the main body, and the first pipe encloses a first air duct, and / or a second pipe, which is arranged in the cooking cavity and connected to the first pipe, and the second pipe encloses a second air duct.
[0040] In this embodiment, the structure of the air induction assembly is defined. Specifically, the air induction assembly includes a first duct connected to the main body, and an external air inlet is defined on the inner wall of the cooking cavity. When the second air duct is tightly attached to the inner wall of the cooking cavity, the first end of the first duct abuts the external air inlet. Specifically, an annular boss can be provided on the first end of the first duct to abut the outer wall of the cooking cavity.
[0041] When the second air duct is away from the inner wall of the cooking cavity, the first end of the first air duct is inserted into the cooking cavity through the external air inlet and communicates with the second air duct in the cooking cavity. In this case, the external air inlet can position the first duct, preventing the first duct from loosening, misalignment, or even falling off.
[0042] Specifically, the first pipe is arranged at the top of the cooking cavity, and the first pipe extends from top to bottom. Air flow introduced from the outside is poured into the cooking cavity along the first pipe extending longitudinally.
[0043] In this embodiment, the air induction assembly further includes a second duct, which is disposed within the cooking cavity and spaced apart from the inner wall of the cooking cavity. A first end of the first duct extends from an external air inlet into the cooking cavity and communicates with the middle section of the second duct. The first duct can provide positioning and support for the second duct, and a bracket can be provided connecting the inner wall of the cooking cavity to the second duct to position and support the second duct.
[0044] By integrating an independent second duct within the cooking cavity, the second duct can be brought closer to areas with higher flow rates within the cooking cavity, thereby increasing the velocity of the internally circulating airflow within the second duct. This, in turn, reduces the pressure within the second duct and increases the pressure differential between the second duct and the external environment. This increased pressure differential between the inside and outside increases the velocity of the airflow entering the cooking cavity, thereby increasing the rate of air introduction into the cooking cavity and improving the regulation of oxygen content or humidity within the cooking cavity. This results in the technical effect of optimizing the structure of the induced draft assembly, increasing the air intake rate of the induced draft assembly, broadening the functional coverage of the air fryer, and improving the quality of the cooked food.
[0045] In some technical solutions of the present invention, specifically, the air induced component also includes: a fan, located on the side of the outer shell of the air fryer facing the first air duct, and the airflow of the first air duct can drive the fan to rotate; a cover body, which is provided on the outer shell and arranged opposite to the fan, and the cover body is a light-transmitting cover.
[0046] In this technical solution, the air flow introduced from the outside that is pressed in by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside can drive the fan to rotate. The faster the flow rate of the air flow introduced from the outside, the faster the rotation speed of the fan. The user can observe the condition of the internal fan through the air inlet on the cover. Afterwards, the air flow introduced from the outside enters the cooking cavity through the through hole, the first air duct and the second air duct to meet the air supply demand of the cooking cavity.
[0047] By setting up an observable fan, the externalization effect of the incoming air flow can be achieved, so that the user can judge whether there is an air flow introduced from the outside by observing whether the fan is rotating, and judge the intensity of the air flow introduced from the outside by observing the speed of the fan, providing convenient conditions for the user to control the air fryer.
[0048] In addition, users can also judge the flow rate of air introduced from the outside by the fan speed, and further adjust the flow rate or flow rate through the temperature control valve according to personal needs to obtain a better cooking experience.
[0049] By providing a light-transmitting cover, the user can observe the status of the fan inside the cover through the cover, thereby improving the externalization effect of the fan on the air flow introduced from the outside and reducing the difficulty for the user to observe the fan.
[0050] Specifically, the cover can be made of materials such as glass and plastic.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] 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.
[0063] 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.
[0064] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 An air fryer according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides an air fryer 100, which includes: a main body 110, which includes a cooking cavity 1102; an air induction component 120, which is provided on the main body 110, and the air induction component 120 includes an air duct 1201, which connects the cooking cavity 1102 and the space outside the main body 110; a temperature control valve 170, which is provided on the air induction component 120, and the temperature control valve 170 can operate according to the temperature in the cooking cavity 1102 and / or the air duct 1201, and adjust the flow rate of the air duct 1201 through the operation.
[0066] The present application defines an air fryer 100, which includes a body 110. The body 110 is a frame structure of the air fryer 100, which is used to position, protect, and support other working structures of the air fryer 100. A cooking cavity 1102 is formed in the body 110, and food is placed in the cooking cavity 1102 and processed into finished food.
[0067] The air fryer 100 further includes an air induction assembly 120 , which is disposed within the body 110 . The air induction assembly 120 includes an air duct 1201 , which connects the cooking cavity 1102 with the space outside the body 110 .
[0068] During operation, the gas flowing in the cooking cavity 1102 forms an internal circulation airflow ( Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the figure, arrow b shows the internal circulation airflow. Based on the characteristics of the fluid medium, during the flow of the fluid medium, the pressure in the area with high flow velocity is relatively low. Due to the existence of the internal circulation airflow, the pressure in the cooking cavity 1102 is relatively low compared to the pressure of the external environment of the body 110. Under the action of the pressure difference, the external gas is pressed into the air duct 1201, and an external air flow ( Figure 2 and Figure 6 The arrow a shows the air flow introduced from the outside), and the air flow introduced from the outside flows from the second end of the air duct 1201 to the first end of the air duct 1201. The air flow introduced from the outside enters the cooking cavity 1102 and merges into the internal circulation air flow ( Figure 2 The middle arrow c shows the flow of air introduced from the outside and then recirculated into the cooking cavity. This allows the cooking cavity 1102 to continuously draw in outside air during operation. This outside air can then be used to adjust cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content within the cooking cavity 1102 to meet the cooking requirements of specific foods.
[0069] On this basis, the air fryer 100 also includes a temperature control valve 170, which is connected to the air induced component 120. The temperature control valve 170 can perform actions according to the temperature of the cooking cavity 1102 and / or perform actions according to the temperature in the air duct 1201 to adjust the flow of the air duct 1201 through actions. Specifically, the temperature control valve 170 can control the switching state of the air duct 1201 according to the temperature value.
[0070] Specifically, when the air fryer 100 is in standby mode or in the initial stage of the cooking process, the temperature in the cooking cavity 1102 and / or the air duct is relatively low. The temperature control valve 170 remains closed within the relatively low temperature range, preventing the cooking cavity 1102 from drawing in external air through the draft assembly 120. During the cooking process, the temperature and humidity in the cooking cavity 1102 and / or the air duct gradually increase, while the oxygen content gradually decreases. When the temperature rises to a higher temperature range, the humidity in the cooking cavity 1102 correspondingly falls within the higher humidity range, and the oxygen content is relatively low. At this point, the temperature control valve 170 responds to the rising temperature, opening the air duct. This allows the cooking cavity 1102 to draw in external air via the draft assembly 120, thereby timely adjusting the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content within the cooking cavity 1102.
[0071] At the same time, the temperature control valve 170 can not only control the opening and closing of the air duct 1201, but also control the opening degree of the air duct 1201 to accurately control the flow rate of the fresh air flow during the introduction of external fresh air flow.
[0072] Thus, by providing temperature control valve 170, air fryer 100 can control the timing of external airflow through low-cost temperature control valve 170. This ensures that parameters such as humidity and oxygen content within cooking chamber 1102 meet cooking requirements, while also preventing dust and insects from entering cooking chamber 1102 through air duct 1201 when air fryer 100 is in standby mode. This resolves the technical drawbacks of related art, such as uncontrollable ventilation timing and inability to guarantee food quality. This further optimizes the air fryer structure, enhances the practicality and controllability of air fryer 100, improves the quality of cooked food, and enhances the user experience.
[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the air duct 1201 includes a first air duct 1202 and a second air duct 1204, the first end and the second end of the second air duct 1204 are both connected to the cooking cavity 1102, the first end of the first air duct 1202 is connected to the second air duct 1204, and the second end of the first air duct 1202 is connected to the outside of the main body 110.
[0074] In this embodiment, the air induction assembly 120 includes a first air duct 1202 and a second air duct 1204. The first end of the second air duct 1204 communicates with the cooking cavity 1102, and the second end of the second air duct 1204 also communicates with the cooking cavity 1102. The first end of the first air duct 1202 communicates with the middle section of the second air duct 1204, and the second end of the first air duct 1202 extends toward the outer surface of the body 110 and ultimately communicates with the space outside the body 110. In other words, the air induction assembly 120 consists of two air ducts 1201: the first air duct 1202 and the second air duct 1204. The second air duct 1204 connects two different areas within the cooking cavity 1102, while the first air duct 1202 connects the cooking cavity 1102 and the exterior of the air fryer 100.
[0075] During operation, gas flowing within cooking cavity 1102 flows into second duct 1204 from one of its first and second ends and ultimately exits second duct 1204 from the other end, forming an internal circulation airflow within second duct 1204. Due to the characteristics of a fluid medium, areas with high flow velocity experience lower pressure during flow. Due to the presence of the internal circulation airflow, the pressure within the second duct is lower than the pressure outside the main body 110. This pressure differential forces external gas into first duct 1202, forming an external airflow within first duct 1202. The external airflow flows from the second end of first duct 1202 to the first end of first duct 1202. After entering second duct 1204, the external airflow merges with the internal circulation airflow and ultimately flows into cooking cavity 1102, enabling continuous intake of external air into cooking cavity 1102 during operation. Thus, cooking parameters such as humidity and oxygen content in the cooking cavity 1102 are adjusted with the help of external air to meet the cooking requirements of specific food.
[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve 170 is located in the first air duct 1202 ; the temperature control valve 170 is used to adjust the flow area of the first air duct 1202 .
[0077] In this embodiment, the temperature control valve 170 is provided on the first air duct 1202 , and the temperature control valve 170 can perform corresponding actions according to the temperature in the first air duct 1202 , thereby controlling the on-off of the first air duct 1202 or controlling the opening degree of the first air duct 1202 .
[0078] Specifically, the temperature control valve 170 can be set on the outside of the first air duct 1202 to control the switch and opening of the two ports of the first air duct 1202. The temperature control valve 170 can also be set inside the first air duct 1202 to control the flow area of the first air duct 1202 by adjusting the switch state of the temperature control valve 170 itself.
[0079] Among them, the external air needs to first flow into the first air duct 1202 and then merge into the internal circulation airflow in the second air duct 1204. Therefore, setting the temperature control valve 170 in the first air duct 1202 can control the introduction timing and introduction rate of the external airflow without affecting the internal circulation airflow, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the practicality and controllability of the air fryer 100 and improving the quality of the cooked food.
[0080] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve 170 includes: a limit member 172, which is arranged in the first air duct 1202, and the limit member 172 includes an air inlet 1722; a temperature sensing component 174, which is connected to the limit member 172, and the temperature sensing component 174 can be deformed according to its own temperature; wherein, the temperature sensing component 174 includes a first state and at least one second state; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the temperature sensing component 174 closes the air inlet 1722; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the temperature sensing component 174 opens the air inlet 1722.
[0081] Specifically, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the temperature sensing component 174 and the air duct 1201 is S1; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the temperature sensing component 174 and the air duct 1201 is S2; S1 and S2 are not equal.
[0082] In this embodiment, the temperature control valve 170 includes a stopper 172 and a temperature-sensing component 174. The stopper 172 is provided with an air inlet 1722. When the air inlet 1722 is open, external air can pass through the stopper 172 and merge into the internal circulating airflow within the second air duct 1204. In this case, the air induction assembly 120 is in the open state. Correspondingly, when the air inlet 1722 is closed, external air is blocked from entering the second air duct 1204. In this case, the air induction assembly 120 is in the closed state.
[0083] On this basis, the temperature-sensing component 174 can deform according to its own temperature. Specifically, the temperature-sensing component 174 can be formed from a memory metal. When the temperature of the temperature-sensing component 174 is in a relatively low temperature range, the temperature-sensing component 174 remains in a first state. In the first state, the temperature-sensing component 174 blocks or covers the air inlet 1722 on the stopper 172, preventing external air from passing through the air inlet 1722. When the temperature of the temperature-sensing component 174 rises to a higher temperature range along with the temperature of the first air duct 1202, the temperature-sensing component 174 deforms and switches to a second state. In the second state, the temperature-sensing component 174 at least partially avoids the air inlet 1722, opening the air inlet 1722. External air can enter the second air duct 1204 and the cooking chamber 1102 through the air inlet 1722, thereby achieving automatic opening and closing of the air induction assembly 120.
[0084] Specifically, according to the magnitude of the deformation, there may be multiple second states, and different second states correspond to different openings of the air inlet 1722 to adjust the rate of introduction of external airflow.
[0085] Thus, by providing temperature-sensing component 174, temperature-controlled valve 170 can automatically open and close based on the temperature within first air duct 1202, ensuring that draft assembly 120 can promptly introduce external air when humidity is high and oxygen content is low within cooking chamber 1102. Furthermore, temperature-sensing component 174 can operate autonomously without relying on an electronic control mechanism. This reduces the structural and electronic control complexity of air fryer 100, while also lowering production costs and thereby enhancing its market competitiveness.
[0086] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature sensing component 174 includes: a first section 1742, connected to the limit member 172, and a second section 1744, connected to the first section 1742 and surrounding the first section 1742; the first section and the second section are opposite to the air inlet, and the second section can move relative to the first section due to temperature changes; wherein, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section 1744 and the air inlet is S3; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section 1744 and the limit member 172 is S4; S3 and S4 are not equal.
[0087] In this embodiment, the temperature sensing component 174 includes a cylindrical first section 1742 and an annular second section 1744. The second section 1744 is connected to the first section 1742 and surrounds the first section 1742. The first and second sections 1744 can be integrally formed from a memory metal. The first section 1742 is connected to the retaining member 172. The first and second sections 1742, 1744 face the air inlet 1722 on the retaining member 172. The edge of the second section 1744 extends toward the side of the air inlet 1722.
[0088] For example, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the first section 1742 and the second section 1744 seal the air inlet. When the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the second section 1744 is activated and the air inlet 1722 can be ventilated.
[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first section 1742 is spaced apart from the air inlet 1722. When the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the first section 1742 and the second section 1744 jointly cover the air inlet 1722. When the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the second section 1744 moves relative to the first section 1742, allowing ventilation of at least a portion of the air inlet. Specifically, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the second section 1744 bends relative to the first section 1742 toward the position of the stopper 172, and the edge of the second section 1744 snaps onto the stopper 172. Thus, the second section 1744 seals the gap between the first section 1742 and the stopper 172, thereby preventing external air from flowing into or out of the gap and preventing external air, dust, or insects from entering the cooking chamber 1102. Correspondingly, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the second section 1744 is tilted upward relative to the first section 1742 , and the second section 1744 is separated from the limiting member 172 , and external air can then flow into the cooking cavity 1102 through the air inlet 1722 .
[0090] In this embodiment, the sheet-shaped temperature sensing component 174 is relatively easy to process, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the temperature control valve 170. At the same time, the structure can reserve sufficient deformation space for the second section 1744, reducing the possibility of the second section 1744 getting stuck, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature control valve 170.
[0091] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the temperature sensing component 174 includes: a first section 1742, connected to the limiting member 172, the first section 1742 is opposite to the air inlet 1722, and the first section 1742 is spaced apart from the air inlet 1722; a second section 1744, connected to the first section 1742, and surrounds the first section 1742; wherein, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the second section 1744 is buckled around the air inlet 1722; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the second section 1744 is separated from the limiting member 172.
[0092] Among them, when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the first state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the air inlet 1722 is S3; when the temperature sensing component 174 is in the second state, the ventilation area formed by the cooperation between the second section and the limiter 172 is S4; S3 and S4 are not equal.
[0093] In this embodiment, the temperature sensing component 174 includes a cylindrical first section 1742 and an annular second section 1744. The second section 1744 is connected to the first section 1742 and surrounds the first section 1742. The first section 1742 and the second section 1744 are integrally formed from a memory metal. The first section 1742 is connected to the retaining member 172 and faces the air inlet 1722 on the retaining member 172, with a gap between the first section 1742 and the air inlet 1722. The edge of the second section 1744 extends toward the side of the air inlet 1722.
[0094] Specifically, when temperature-sensing component 174 is in the first state, second section 1744 bends relative to first section 1742 toward the position of stopper 172, and the edge of second section 1744 engages with stopper 172. This seals the gap between first section 1742 and stopper 172 via second section 1744, preventing external airflow from flowing into or out of the gap and preventing external air, dust, or insects from entering cooking chamber 1102. Correspondingly, when temperature-sensing component 174 is in the second state, second section 1744 tilts upward relative to first section 1742, separating from stopper 172. External air can then flow into cooking chamber 1102 through air inlet 1722.
[0095] In this embodiment, the sheet-shaped temperature sensing component 174 is relatively easy to process, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the temperature control valve 170. At the same time, the structure can reserve sufficient deformation space for the second section 1744, reducing the possibility of the second section 1744 getting stuck, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature control valve 170.
[0096] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve 170 also includes: a heat-conducting component 176, a first end of the heat-conducting component 176 is connected to the temperature-sensing component 174, and a second end of the heat-conducting component 176 is located in the second air duct 1204 or the cooking cavity 1102.
[0097] In this embodiment, the temperature control valve 170 also includes a heat-conducting component 176, the first end of the heat-conducting component 176 is connected to the temperature-sensing component 174, and the second end of the heat-conducting component 176 extends to the second air duct 1204, or the second end of the heat-conducting component 176 extends to the cooking cavity 1102.
[0098] During cooking, first air duct 1202 is close to the outside world, and the temperature within first air duct 1202 is significantly affected by the ambient temperature, resulting in a temperature difference between first air duct 1202 and cooking cavity 1102. To address this issue, heat conduction component 176 transfers heat from cooking cavity 1102 or second air duct 1204 to temperature sensing component 174, causing the temperature of temperature sensing component 174 to approach the current temperature of cooking cavity 1102. This prevents the temperature difference between first air duct 1202 and cooking cavity 1102 from affecting the timing of temperature control valve 170 operation, thereby improving the control accuracy of the timing of external airflow introduction and ensuring that air fryer 100 can timely adjust the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content within cooking cavity 1102 by introducing external air. This improves the reliability of air fryer 100 and enhances the quality of cooked food.
[0099] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the temperature control valve 170 further includes: a connecting component 178 connecting the limiter 172 and the temperature sensing component 174; wherein the heat conducting component 176 and the connecting component 178 are an integrated structure.
[0100] In this embodiment, the temperature control valve 170 further includes a connecting member 178, which is used to fix the temperature sensing member 174 to the limiting member 172. Specifically, the connecting member 178 can be a screw that passes through the first section 1742 and the limiting member 172 to press the temperature sensing member 174 onto the limiting member 172.
[0101] On this basis, the heat-conducting component 176 and the connecting component 178 are an integrated structure. Specifically, a longer screw can be selected to connect the temperature-sensing component 174 and the limiter 172. After assembly is completed, the front end of the screw extends into the second air duct 1204. The heat carried by the internal circulating airflow in the second air duct 1204 can be transferred to the temperature-sensing component 174 through the screw, so that the temperature of the temperature-sensing component 174 approaches the temperature of the internal circulating airflow in the second air duct 1204.
[0102] Setting the connecting component 178 and the heat-conducting component 176 as an integrated structure can reduce the structural complexity and process complexity of the temperature-control valve 170, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the temperature-control valve 170. At the same time, it can also eliminate the process of separately positioning and installing the heat-conducting component 176, thereby reducing the assembly complexity of the temperature-control valve 170.
[0103] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the air induction assembly 120 includes: a first pipe 122 provided on the body 110 , and the first pipe 122 encloses a first air duct 1202 .
[0104] In this embodiment, the structure of the air induction assembly 120 is defined. Specifically, the air induction assembly 120 includes a first duct 122 connected to the main body 110. An external air inlet is defined on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102. When the second air duct 1204 is in close contact with the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102, the first end of the first duct 122 abuts against the external air inlet. Specifically, an annular boss can be provided on the first end of the first duct 122 to abut against the outer wall of the cooking cavity 1102.
[0105] When the second air duct 1204 is away from the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102, the first end of the first air duct 1202 is inserted into the cooking cavity 1102 through the external air inlet and communicates with the second air duct 1204 in the cooking cavity 1102. In this case, the external air inlet can position the first pipe 122, preventing the first pipe 122 from loosening, misalignment, or even falling off.
[0106] Specifically, the first pipe 122 is arranged at the top of the cooking cavity 1102 . The first pipe 122 extends from top to bottom. Air flow introduced from the outside is poured into the cooking cavity 1102 along the first pipe 122 extending longitudinally.
[0107] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the air induction assembly 120 further includes: a second pipe 126, which is disposed in the cooking cavity 1102 and communicates with the first pipe 122, and the second pipe 126 encloses a second air duct 1204.
[0108] In this embodiment, the air induction assembly 120 further includes a second duct 126 disposed within the cooking cavity 1102 and spaced apart from the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102. The first end of the first duct 122 extends from an external air inlet into the cooking cavity 1102 and communicates with the middle section of the second duct 126. The first duct 122 provides positioning and support for the second duct 126. A bracket connecting the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102 and the second duct 126 can also be provided to position and support the second duct 126.
[0109] By integrating an independent second duct 126 within cooking cavity 1102, second air duct 1204 can be brought closer to an area within cooking cavity 1102 with higher flow rates. This increases the velocity of the internally circulating airflow within second air duct 1204, correspondingly reducing the pressure within second air duct 1204 and increasing the pressure differential between second air duct 1204 and the external environment. This increased internal and external pressure differential increases the velocity of the airflow introduced into cooking cavity 1102, thereby increasing the air intake rate into cooking cavity 1102 and improving the oxygen content or humidity regulation within cooking cavity 1102. This optimizes the structure of induced draft assembly 120, increases the air intake rate of induced draft assembly 120, broadens the functional coverage of air fryer 100, and improves the quality of cooked food.
[0110] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the air induction assembly 120 further includes: an air duct plate 124 connected to the body 110 , and the air duct plate 124 and the inner wall of the cooking cavity 1102 enclose a second air duct 1204 .
[0111] In this embodiment, air induction assembly 120 further includes an air duct plate 124, which is disposed within cooking cavity 1102 and connected to the inner wall of cooking cavity 1102. Once air duct plate 124 is assembled, it and the inner wall of cooking cavity 1102 together enclose a second air duct 1204. Furthermore, air duct plate 124 blocks the external air intake opening on the inner wall of cooking cavity 1102, ensuring that the external air exhausted from first duct 122 can flow into second air duct 1204.
[0112] By providing air duct plate 124, the inner wall of cooking cavity 1102 can be effectively utilized, thereby simplifying the structure of air induction assembly 120 and reducing the cost of air induction assembly 120. Furthermore, assembly can be completed by simply fixing air duct plate 124 to the inner wall of cooking cavity 1102, eliminating the need for independent positioning and support structures, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling air induction assembly 120.
[0113] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, the air induced component 120 also includes: a fan 164, located on the side of the first air duct 1202 facing the outer shell of the air fryer 100, and the airflow of the first air duct 1202 can drive the fan 164 to rotate; a cover body 162, which is provided on the outer shell and arranged opposite to the fan 164, and the cover body 162 is a light-transmitting cover.
[0114] In this embodiment, the air flow introduced from the outside that is pressed in by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside can drive the fan 164 to rotate. The faster the flow rate of the air flow introduced from the outside, the faster the rotation speed of the fan 164. The user can observe the status of the internal fan 164 through the air inlet 1722 on the cover body 162. Afterwards, the air flow introduced from the outside enters the cooking cavity 1102 through the through hole, the first air duct 1202 and the second air duct 1204 to meet the air supply demand of the cooking cavity 1102.
[0115] By setting up an observable fan 164, the externalization effect of the incoming air flow can be achieved, so that the user can judge whether there is an air flow introduced from the outside by observing whether the fan 164 is rotating, and judge the intensity of the air flow introduced from the outside by observing the rotation speed of the fan 164, providing convenient conditions for the user to control the air fryer 100.
[0116] In addition, the user can also determine the flow rate of the air flow introduced from the outside by the rotation speed of the fan 164, and further adjust the flow rate or flow rate through the temperature control valve 170 according to personal needs to obtain a better cooking experience.
[0117] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer 100 further includes: a base 160, which is disposed on the main body 110; a cover 162, which covers the base 160, and the cover 162 includes an air inlet 1622. The base 160 and the cover 162 enclose an installation cavity 1602, and the installation cavity 1602 is connected to the second end of the first air duct 1202; a fan 164, which is disposed in the installation cavity 1602, and the airflow flowing into the first air duct 1202 can drive the fan 164 to rotate.
[0118] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 further includes a base 160, a lid 162, and a fan 164. The base 160 is embedded in the outer surface of the body 110, with a portion of the base 160 exposed outside the body 110. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the base 160, which communicates with the second end of the first air duct 1202. The fan 164 is rotatably connected to the base 160. The lid 162 is attached to the base 160. After the lid 162 is assembled, the lid 162 and the base 160 enclose an installation cavity 1602, which communicates with the first air duct 1202 via the through hole. The lid 162 also has an air inlet 1622, which communicates with the installation cavity 1602.
[0119] During the cooking process, the air flow introduced from the outside, which is pressed in by the pressure difference between the inside and the outside, first enters the installation cavity 1602 through the air inlet 1622 and flows toward the through hole. During this process, the air flow introduced from the outside can drive the fan 164 to rotate. The faster the flow rate of the air flow introduced from the outside, the faster the rotation speed of the fan 164. The user can observe the status of the internal fan 164 through the air inlet 1722 on the cover 162. Afterwards, the air flow introduced from the outside enters the cooking cavity 1102 through the through hole, the first air duct 1202 and the second air duct 1204 to meet the air supply needs of the cooking cavity 1102.
[0120] By providing a visible fan 164, the incoming airflow can be externalized. This allows the user to determine the presence of external airflow by observing the rotation of fan 164, and to determine the strength of the external airflow by observing the rotation speed of fan 164, providing convenient control over the air fryer 100. Furthermore, compared to solutions that use an air volume sensor to detect the incoming airflow, the proposed externalized fan 164 solution can reduce the structural complexity and production cost of the air fryer 100 while still meeting the requirements for incoming airflow feedback. Furthermore, the rotating fan 164 can enhance the enjoyment of the air fryer 100, further improving the user experience.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the cover 162 is a light-transmitting cover.
[0122] In this embodiment, the cover 162 is made of a light-transmitting material to produce a light-transmitting cover.
[0123] By providing a translucent cover, the user can observe the status of the fan 164 inside the cover 162 through the cover 162, thereby improving the externalization effect of the fan 164 on the air flow introduced from the outside and reducing the difficulty for the user to observe the fan 164.
[0124] Specifically, the cover 162 can be made of materials such as glass and plastic.
[0125] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer 100 also includes: an inner pot 130, which is arranged in the cooking cavity 1102, and the inner pot 130 includes a accommodating cavity and an opening; a fan 140, which is arranged in the main body 110 and is opposite to the opening of the inner pot 130, and the second air duct 1204 is located on the peripheral side of the fan 140.
[0126] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the air fryer 100 further includes: a heating component 150 , which is disposed on the body 110 and located between the fan 140 and the inner pot 130 .
[0127] In this embodiment, the air fryer 100 further includes a heating assembly 150 disposed within the cooking cavity 1102 and positioned between the fan 140 and the inner pot 130. When activated, the heating assembly 150 heats the first airflow directed toward the inner pot 130 and / or the blades of the fan 140, thereby heating the first airflow to a high temperature. This high temperature airflow then toasts the outer surface of the food, resulting in a golden, crispy crust. This improves the quality of the cooked food and enhances the user experience.
[0128] Specifically, the heating component 150 includes a heating pipe, which is coiled and avoids the front area of the fan 140 to prevent the heating component 150 from affecting the flow of the first airflow.
[0129] The heating component 150 also includes an electromagnetic heating element, which can generate an electric field when turned on. The magnetic fan blades heat up under the action of the electric field to directly blow out a first airflow with a higher temperature.
