[0032] Example

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a steam air fryer, including an air fryer body 1 and a water tank 2 installed on the top of the air fryer body 1. The water tank 2 has a water inlet and a sealing cap on its top. The water tank 2 has a water outlet 21 at its bottom, through which the water stored in the water tank 2 flows out. A positioning ring 11 is provided on the air fryer body 1 at a position corresponding to the water outlet 21. The positioning ring 11 facilitates the installation and fixation of the check valve 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the aforementioned steam air fryer includes a check valve 3 disposed within the positioning ring 11, which prevents water backflow. The check valve 3 includes a fixed ring 301 fixedly connected to the positioning ring 11, with the fixed ring 301 in a fixed position. A transition ring 302 is installed at the bottom of the fixed ring 301, and a fixed seat 303 is disposed at the bottom of the transition ring 302. The fixed seat 303 is fixedly connected to the fryer body 1. A sealing ring 314 is disposed between the transition ring 302 and the fixed seat 303, fixing the position of the fixed seat 303. The sealing ring 314, in conjunction with the fixed seat 303, ensures that the transition ring 302 is fixed in position and provides good sealing. A connecting pipe 313 is disposed at the bottom of the fixed seat 303, and one end of the water pipe 4 is fitted onto the connecting pipe 313 for easy water drainage. A partition 304 is disposed within the transition ring 302, and a fixed post 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 304, with the fixed post 305 in a fixed position. A sliding block 306 is slidably connected to the fixed column 305, and the sliding block 306 moves up and down under the limiting action of the fixed column 305. A limiting rod 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 306. The limiting rod 307 passes through the partition 304 and is slidably connected to a limiting block 308. The limiting block 308 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition 304. The setting of the limiting rod 307 and the limiting block 308 makes the movement of the sliding block 306 smooth and prevents the sliding block 306 from rotating. A through hole 309 is opened on the partition 304. After water enters the top of the partition 304, it is discharged downward through the through hole 309. A first connecting rod 310 is provided in the through hole 309. The first connecting rod 310 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 306, and the first connecting rod 310 moves synchronously with the sliding block 306. A first rubber disc 311 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 310. The first rubber disc 311 is located below the partition 304, and its diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 309. When the first rubber disc 311 moves upward and covers the through hole 309, it prevents water from flowing downward. A first spring 312 is provided between the partition 304 and the sliding block 306. The first spring 312 is sleeved and installed on the outer ring of the fixed column 305. The first spring 312 is used to release the elastic force and drive the first rubber disc 311 to come close to the partition 304 to stop the water flow. The top of the fixed column 305 contacts the bottom of the multiple sets of connecting plates 83. The fixed column 305 is located inside the synchronous cylinder 81, so that after the water tank 2 is installed, the fixed column 305 can squeeze the second spring 86, and at the same time, the synchronous cylinder 81 can squeeze the first spring 312, so that the water in the water tank 2 can flow out.

[0035] Furthermore, the aforementioned steam air fryer also includes a water pipe 4 connected to the side of the check valve 3 away from the water tank 2, with the other end of the water pipe 4 connected to a heating chamber 5. A PCB heating element 51 is installed at the bottom of the heating chamber 5, which heats the water in the heating chamber 5 to generate steam. A steam pipe 6 is connected to the top of the heating chamber 5, with the other end of the steam pipe 6 connected to a heating module 7. Steam is discharged through the steam pipe 6 and delivered to the heating module 7 to heat the food. The highest water level in the water tank 2 is lower than the height of the connection between the heating chamber 5 and the steam pipe 6 to prevent water from directly entering the steam pipe 6.

[0036] Specifically, the aforementioned steam air fryer also includes a leak-proof component 8 located at the bottom of the water tank 2. This component prevents water from leaking out when the water tank 2 is removed. The leak-proof component 8 includes a synchronization cylinder 81 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 2. The synchronization cylinder 81 is located outside the water outlet 21, through which water from the water tank 2 enters the synchronization cylinder 81. A movable ring 82 is slidably connected within the synchronization cylinder 81. Multiple sets of connecting plates 83 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable ring 82. Water passes through the gaps between the connecting plates 83 and through the movable ring 82. A second connecting rod 84 is fixedly connected to the multiple sets of connecting plates 83. The sliding of the movable ring 82 within the synchronization cylinder 81 allows the second connecting rod 84 to move smoothly. A second rubber disc 85 is fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting rod 84. The second rubber disc 85 is located inside the water tank 2, and its diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the water outlet 21. This allows the second rubber disc 85 to cover the water outlet 21 when it is near the water tank 2, preventing water from leaking out. A second spring 86 is provided between the moving ring 82 and the water tank 2. The second spring 86 is used to release the elastic force when the water tank 2 is removed, so that the second rubber disc 85 is tightly attached to the water tank 2 to prevent water from flowing out.

[0037] Finally, the aforementioned steam air fryer also includes a barrier mechanism 9 installed in the connecting pipe 313. The barrier mechanism 9 is used to prevent heat exchange between the water tank 2 and the water pipe 4. The barrier mechanism 9 includes an installation cylinder 91 installed in the connecting pipe 313. A limiting seat 92 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cylinder 91. The limiting seat 92 has a through hole to facilitate the passage of water and is used to limit the float 93. The float 93 is movably disposed in the installation cylinder 91. The density of the float 93 is less than that of water. The outer diameter of the float 93 is larger than the water inlet at the top of the installation cylinder 91, so that when the water tank 2 stops supplying water to the heating box 5 and there is water in the water pipe 4, the float 93, due to its lower density than water, blocks the water inlet at the top of the installation cylinder 91, preventing heat transfer.

[0038] In this embodiment, when water needs to be added to the water tank 2, the water tank 2 is removed from the fryer body 1. At this time, the moving ring 82 moves away from the fixed post 305. This causes the second spring 86 to release its elastic force. As the water tank 2 moves away from the fryer body 1, the moving ring 82 slides in the synchronous cylinder 81, simultaneously driving the second connecting rod 84 to move and causing the second rubber disc 85 to move closer to the water outlet 21. After the second rubber disc 85 covers the water outlet 21, it prevents water in the water tank 2 from flowing out through the water outlet 21. At the same time, as the synchronous cylinder 81 moves away from the sliding block 306, the first spring 312 releases its elastic force, causing the sliding block 306 to slide on the fixed post 305. The sliding block 306 moves smoothly under the limiting action of the limiting rod 307. Simultaneously, it causes the first connecting rod 310 and the first rubber disc 311 to move upward synchronously. At this time, the first rubber disc 311 covers the through hole 309, preventing water backflow. After removing the water tank 2, open the sealing cap and inject water into the water tank 2 through the water inlet until the water level is below the maximum water level line. Then, reinstall the water tank 2 onto the fryer body 1. During the installation of the water tank 2, the synchronizing cylinder 81 enters the fixing ring 301, and at the same time, the synchronizing cylinder 81 drives the sliding block 306 to move downward, causing the first spring 312 to be compressed, and the first rubber disc 311 to move downward away from the through hole 309. Simultaneously, the moving ring 82 stops moving downwards after contacting the fixed post 305, while the water tank 2 continues to move downwards, compressing the second spring 86. At the same time, the second rubber disc 85 moves away from the water tank 2, opening the outlet 21. Water from the water tank 2 enters the water pipe 4 through the outlet 21 and the through hole 309, and then enters the heating box 5 through the water pipe 4. The water level in the heating box 5 is equal to that in the water tank 2. When the water tank 2 stops supplying water to the heating box 5, the float 93, due to its lower density than water, blocks the inlet of the mounting cylinder 91, preventing heat transfer. The water in the heating box 5 is heated by the PCB heating element 51, and the generated steam is transported to the heating module 7 through the steam pipe 6 to heat the food.

[0039] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
