Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a novel type of air fryer. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the oil-free cooking method of air fryers is becoming increasingly popular. Most existing air fryers are single-pot models, which are slow, inefficient, and provide a poor user experience. To meet user needs, a type of double-pot air fryer has emerged on the market, which can cook multiple foods simultaneously. However, because the two pots of this type of air fryer are usually arranged side by side, the overall size is large, requiring a lot of table space, resulting in high space occupancy and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a novel type of air fryer to solve the technical problems of existing air fryers, such as slow cooking speed, low cooking efficiency, high space occupation, and poor user experience.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel air fryer, comprising a body and a cooking chamber and a hot air chamber disposed within and interconnected within the body. One side of the body has an opening communicating with the cooking chamber. A detachable basket assembly is mounted within the cooking chamber via the side opening. The basket assembly contains a second inner cavity and a first inner cavity spaced vertically apart for placing food. A ventilation hole is located at the bottom of the second inner cavity, and the first and second inner cavities communicate through this ventilation hole. A top opening communicating with the cooking chamber is located at the top of the second inner cavity. By providing the first and second inner cavities spaced vertically apart and communicating within the basket assembly, multiple foods can be cooked simultaneously without altering the overall volume of the basket assembly and the air fryer, effectively improving cooking efficiency and enhancing the user experience.
[0005] In an optional embodiment, the frying basket assembly includes a basket body with a cylindrical receiving cavity and a basket door panel disposed on the outside of the basket body. The top of the basket body is open, forming the top opening. A partition is provided in the receiving cavity of the basket body, which is adapted to divide the receiving cavity to form a second inner cavity and a first inner cavity spaced apart vertically. The partition is provided with ventilation holes. The partition can separate the internal space of the basket body, thereby allowing multiple foods to be cooked simultaneously without changing the overall volume of the frying basket assembly, effectively improving cooking efficiency.
[0006] In an optional embodiment, the outer edge of the divider is provided with a handle extending towards the top opening of the frying basket body and overlapping the edge of the top opening of the frying basket body. The divider is adapted to be detachably suspended in the receiving cavity of the frying basket body via the handle. By detachably setting the divider inside the frying basket body, not only can the large-volume cooking of a single food be achieved by removing the divider, but the cooking of multiple foods can also be achieved by installing the divider, effectively improving the applicability and user experience of the air fryer. At the same time, by detachably suspending the divider inside the frying basket body, it is also easy to disassemble, clean, and replace, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer.
[0007] In an optional embodiment, the handle is covered with a protective sleeve made of an elastic, high-temperature resistant material, and the handle is adapted to overlap the top opening edge of the frying basket body via the protective sleeve. By covering the handle with the protective sleeve made of an elastic, high-temperature resistant material, not only can friction and / or scratching of the handle against the top opening edge of the frying basket body be avoided during the installation and removal of the divider, but the risk of the user being burned by the handle can also be reduced, effectively improving user safety.
[0008] In an optional embodiment, the frying basket door panel is provided with a viewing window communicating with the receiving cavity. The viewing window includes a first viewing window and a second viewing window spaced apart. The first viewing window and the second viewing window are adapted to correspond to the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, respectively. A first window assembly and a second window assembly are respectively provided at the first viewing window and the second viewing window to close the first viewing window and the second viewing window. By providing the first viewing window and the second viewing window, respectively corresponding to the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, on the frying basket door panel, users can not only better view the cooking status of the food in the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, thereby making cooking easier, but also increase the user's enjoyment during cooking and effectively improve the user experience.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the separator is adapted to be horizontally positioned between the first view window and the second view window. This allows the first view window and the second view window to better correspond to the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, respectively, so that the user can better view the cooking status of the food in the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, effectively improving the user experience.
[0010] In one optional embodiment, the height of the frying basket body is L, and the distance between the separator and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity is h, satisfying h≥L / 2. This allows for better cooking of the food in the first inner cavity while ensuring the amount of food cooked is sufficient, allowing the circulating heat flow in the second inner cavity to better pass through the food and enter the first inner cavity through the ventilation holes, thereby cooking the food in the first inner cavity. This effectively guarantees the cooking efficiency and effect of the food in the first inner cavity, improving the user experience.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the periphery of the separator is provided with a barrier extending obliquely outward toward the top of the air fryer basket body. The barrier is adapted to form the second inner cavity with the separator and the side wall of the receiving cavity. The barrier is adapted to block food on the separator, which not only prevents the food on the separator from sliding to the junction of the separator and the inner wall of the receiving cavity, thus preventing the separator from getting stuck and making it difficult or impossible to remove, but also prevents food from falling off the separator during disassembly and installation, thereby preventing external environmental pollution. This effectively improves the ease of use and user experience of the air fryer.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the cross-section of the enclosure is preferably arc-shaped. This design not only prevents the partition from scratching the inner wall of the receiving cavity during installation and removal, but also facilitates cleaning of the partition, effectively improving the user experience.
[0013] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the first inner cavity is provided with a frying plate that matches the first inner cavity and has through holes. By providing the frying plate that matches the first inner cavity at the bottom of the first inner cavity, the food in the first inner cavity can be supported, so that circulating heat can heat the top and bottom surfaces of the food in the first inner cavity, effectively improving the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the food in the first inner cavity.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0015] This application, by setting a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity that are spaced apart but connected within the frying basket assembly, enables the simultaneous cooking of multiple foods without changing the overall volume of the frying basket assembly and the air fryer, effectively improving cooking efficiency and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by setting a first viewing window and a second viewing window, respectively corresponding to the first and second inner cavities, at intervals on the frying basket door panel, and by setting a first window assembly and a second window assembly to close the first and second viewing windows respectively, users can not only better view the cooking status of the food in the first and second inner cavities, thus improving cooking efficiency, but also increase the enjoyment of cooking, effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0026] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of a novel air fryer provided by this utility model. The air fryer includes a body 10 and a cooking chamber 11 and a hot air chamber 12 disposed within the body 10 and connected to each other. The hot air chamber 12 is provided with a hot air circulation system 20, which is adapted to generate circulating heat flow and introduce it into the cooking chamber 11 to cook the food in the cooking chamber 11.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body 10 has a side opening communicating with the cooking chamber 11. A detachable frying basket assembly 30 is installed inside the cooking chamber 11 through the side opening. The frying basket assembly 30 has a second inner cavity 311 and a first inner cavity 312 spaced vertically for placing food. A ventilation hole 331 is provided at the bottom of the second inner cavity 312, and the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312 are adapted to communicate through the ventilation hole 331. A top opening communicating with the cooking chamber 11 is provided at the top of the second inner cavity 312. By providing the first inner cavity 31 and the second inner cavity 32 spaced vertically and communicating within the frying basket assembly 20, the air fryer can simultaneously cook multiple foods without changing the overall volume of the frying basket assembly 20 and the air fryer, effectively improving cooking efficiency and enhancing the user experience.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the frying basket assembly 30 includes a frying basket body 31 with a cylindrical receiving cavity and a frying basket door panel 32 fixedly connected to the outside of the frying basket body 31. The top of the frying basket body 31 is open, forming the top opening. A partition 33 is provided in the receiving cavity of the frying basket body 31. The partition 33 is adapted to divide the receiving cavity to form a second inner cavity 311 and a first inner cavity 312 spaced apart vertically. The partition 33 is provided with ventilation holes 331. The partition 33 can separate the internal space of the frying basket body 31, thereby cooking multiple foods simultaneously without changing the overall volume of the frying basket assembly 30, effectively improving cooking efficiency.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the outer edge of the divider 33 is provided with a handle 34 extending towards the top opening of the frying basket body 31 and overlapping the edge of the top opening of the frying basket body 31. The divider 33 is adapted to be detachably suspended in the receiving cavity of the frying basket body 31 via the handle 34. By detachably setting the divider 33 inside the frying basket body 31, it is possible not only to cook a large quantity of a single food by removing the divider 33, but also to cook a variety of foods by installing the divider 33, effectively improving the applicability and user experience of the air fryer. At the same time, by detachably suspending the divider 33 inside the frying basket body 31, it is also easy to disassemble, clean, and replace, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the handle 34 is covered with a protective sleeve 35 made of elastic, high-temperature resistant materials such as rubber or silicone. The handle 34 is adapted to overlap the top opening edge of the frying basket body 31 via the protective sleeve 35. By covering the handle 34 with the protective sleeve 35 made of elastic, high-temperature resistant material, not only can friction and / or scratching of the handle 34 against the top opening edge of the frying basket body 31 be avoided during the installation and removal of the separator 33, but the risk of user burns from the handle 34 can also be reduced, effectively improving user safety.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the frying basket door panel 32 is provided with a viewing window 321 communicating with the receiving cavity. The viewing window 321 includes a first viewing window 3211 and a second viewing window 3212 spaced apart. The first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212 are adapted to correspond to the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312, respectively. A first window assembly 322 and a second window assembly 323 are respectively provided at the first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212 to close the first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212. By providing the first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212 on the frying basket door panel 32, which correspond to the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312, respectively, users can not only better view the cooking status of the food in the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312, thereby making better cooking, but also increase the user's enjoyment when cooking and effectively improve the user experience.
[0032] like Figure 2As shown, in an optional embodiment, the separator 33 is adapted to be horizontally positioned between the first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212. This allows the first viewing window 3211 and the second viewing window 3212 to better correspond to the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312, respectively, so that the user can better view the cooking status of the food in the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312, effectively improving the user experience.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the height of the frying basket body 31 is L, and the distance between the separator 33 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity is h, satisfying h≥L / 2. This allows for better cooking of the food in the first inner cavity 311 while ensuring the amount of food cooked, and also allows the circulating heat flow in the second inner cavity 312 to better pass through the food and enter the first inner cavity 311 through the ventilation hole 331, thereby cooking the food in the first inner cavity 311. This effectively ensures the cooking efficiency and effect of the food in the first inner cavity 311, improving the user experience. Specifically, when h < L / 2, such as when h is 1, 2, or 3 and L is 4, 6, or 8, the volume of the second inner cavity 312 is large, and the volume of the first inner cavity 311 is small. To ensure that the circulating heat flow in the second inner cavity 312 can better enter the first inner cavity 311 through the ventilation hole 331, the amount of food in the second inner cavity 312 cannot be too large. This results in the air fryer being able to cook less food, having lower cooking efficiency, and a poor user experience. When h > L / 2, such as when h is 3, 4, or 5 and L is 4, 5, or 6, the volume of the second inner cavity 312 is small, allowing for less food to be placed, while the volume of the first inner cavity 311 is large, allowing for more food to be placed. This not only ensures the amount of food that can be placed in the first inner cavity 311, thus guaranteeing cooking efficiency, but also... The circulating heat flow in the second inner cavity 312 can better pass through the food and enter the first inner cavity 311 through the ventilation hole 331, thereby heating the food in the first inner cavity 311 and effectively improving cooking efficiency. At the same time, when h = L / 2, such as when h is 3, 4, or 5 and L is 6, 8, or 10, the separator 33 is located in the middle of the frying basket body 31, and the volumes of the first inner cavity 311 and the second inner cavity 312 are the same. In this case, by controlling the amount of food put into the second inner cavity 312, it is also possible to ensure that the circulating heat flow in the second inner cavity 312 can better pass through the food and enter the first inner cavity 311 through the ventilation hole 331, while ensuring that the amount of food that can be placed in the first inner cavity 311 is also guaranteed, thereby ensuring cooking efficiency and effectively improving the user experience.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the periphery of the separator 33 is provided with a barrier 36 extending obliquely outward toward the top of the frying basket body 31. The barrier 36 is adapted to form the second inner cavity 312 with the separator 33 and the side wall of the receiving cavity. The barrier 36 is adapted to block the food on the separator 33, which not only prevents the food on the separator 33 from sliding to the junction of the separator 33 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity, thereby preventing the separator 33 from getting stuck and making it difficult or impossible to remove, but also prevents food from falling off the separator 33 during disassembly and installation, thus preventing external environmental pollution. This effectively improves the ease of use and user experience of the air fryer.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the cross-section of the enclosure 36 is adapted to be arc-shaped. By setting the cross-section of the enclosure 36 to arc-shaped, not only can the partition 33 be prevented from scratching the inner wall of the receiving cavity during installation and disassembly, but the partition 33 can also be easily cleaned, effectively improving the user experience.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the bottom of the first inner cavity 311 is provided with a frying plate 37 that matches the first inner cavity 311 and has through holes. By providing the frying plate 37 that matches the first inner cavity 311 at the bottom of the first inner cavity 311, the food in the first inner cavity 311 can be supported, so that the circulating heat flow can heat the top and bottom surfaces of the food in the first inner cavity 311, effectively improving the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the food in the first inner cavity 311.
[0037] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. The purpose of this utility model has been fully and effectively achieved. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this utility model described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of patent protection defined by the claims submitted herein.
