Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to steam air fryers, and in particular to a sealing structure of a steam air fryer. Background Art

[0002] Steam air fryers are popular because they use a steam-generating mechanism to spray mist into the frying tub during air frying, enhancing the cooking effect. Currently, drawer-style steam air fryers typically consist of a fryer body and a frying tub. The frying tub is inserted into the fryer body through a socket on the side. Once inserted into the fryer body, the poor seal between the frying tub and the fryer body allows steam to enter between the outer wall of the tub and the inner wall of the fryer body. The steam condenses on these walls, forming water droplets. This necessitates a wastewater collection box at the bottom of the fryer body to collect the condensed water. This results in a relatively complex structure for steam air fryers, and the high humidity at the bottom makes electrical components prone to malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sealing structure of an air fryer with steam to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] The technical solutions adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems are as follows:

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a sealing structure for a steam-powered air fryer is designed, comprising: a fryer body and a frying bucket body, wherein a socket is provided on the front side of the fryer body, and a first sealing member having a U-shaped structure is tightly connected thereto; the frying bucket body comprises a barrel body and a heat-insulating shell connected to the barrel body, a second sealing member is connected to the heat-insulating shell, a flange edge on the front side of the top of the barrel body is inserted into a second sealing groove on the second sealing member, and when the frying bucket body is inserted into the fryer body through the socket, the flange edge on the rear side of the top of the barrel body is inserted into the first sealing groove on the first sealing member and is in sealing contact therewith, and the first seal and the second seal are in contact to form a sealing ring structure.

[0006] The above technical solution is adopted, by connecting the first sealing member in the fryer body and connecting the second sealing member on the heat-insulating shell. When the fryer barrel body and the fryer body are plugged into each other, the first sealing member and the second sealing member contact to form a sealing ring structure, so that the upper chamber formed by the space between the interior of the barrel body and the upper part of the interior of the fryer body is separated from the lower chamber formed by the space between the exterior of the barrel body and the interior of the fryer body. The flange edge of the top of the barrel body is inserted into the first sealing groove on the first sealing member and is in sealing contact with the first sealing member, so that a good sealing and isolation effect is achieved, and steam during the cooking process is effectively blocked from entering the lower chamber. Therefore, there is no need to design a wastewater collection box inside the fryer body, thereby reducing the humidity in the bottom space inside the fryer body and reducing the failure rate of electrical components.

[0007] In order to better solve the above technical defects, the present invention also has a better technical solution:

[0008] In some embodiments, when the frying vat body is inserted into the fryer body, the sidewall of the second sealing member contacts the sealing portion above the socket, thereby achieving a sealing effect and preventing hot steam from leaking out from the upper portion of the socket during cooking.

[0009] In some embodiments, an inclined surface is provided on the upper portion of the second sealing member, and the upper portion of the inclined surface is in sealing contact with the sealing portion. The inclined surface can serve as a guide for fitting installation and achieve a better sealing effect.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom and / or top of the first sealing groove is provided with sealing ribs that are in sealing contact with the flange edge, thereby further improving the gap effect at the plug-in position.

[0011] In some embodiments, a connecting piece and a sealing block are connected to the insulating shell, the lower part of the sealing block is located in the groove on the second sealing piece and is in sealing contact with the second sealing piece, the inclined surface on the sealing block is coplanar with the inclined surface on the second sealing piece, the front end of the connecting piece passes through the through hole on the sealing block and extends into the cylinder, and the sealing block is in sealing contact with the connecting piece.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first sealing member is fixedly connected to the inner pot of the fryer body by screws, or the first sealing member is clamped and connected to the inner pot of the fryer body.

[0013] In some embodiments, a connecting portion is provided on the first sealing member, and the fryer body comprises an inner pot and a motor cover, and the connecting portion is pressed tightly between the motor cover and the inner pot.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first sealing member, the second sealing member, and the sealing block are made of silicone or silicone rubber, thereby ensuring a better sealing connection effect at the connection position due to the elastic properties of the silicone or silicone rubber.

[0015] In some embodiments, the sealing rib is in the shape of an inclined thin sheet.

[0016] In some embodiments, three sealing ribs are provided, wherein one sealing rib is provided at the top of the first sealing groove, and the other two sealing ribs are provided at the bottom of the first sealing groove. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
