Most existing air fryers are flip-top air fryers, which include a body with a cooking chamber and a door panel on the body for opening and closing the cooking chamber. One end of the door panel is hinged to the body, and the other end is unlocked and fastened to the body through a door lock assembly. The structure of these door lock assemblies is mostly quite complex, resulting in high production and user costs, and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a simple flip-top air fryer to solve the technical problems of existing air fryers having complex structures, high production and user costs, and poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a simple flip-top air fryer, including a body and a cooking cavity with an open opening within the body. The open opening of the cooking cavity is provided with a flip-top cover that can be flipped open and closed. One end of the flip-top cover is hinged to the body, and the other end is provided with a door lock assembly. The door lock assembly includes a first locking member and a second locking member disposed opposite to each other. The flip-top cover has a mounting cavity. One end of the first locking member and the second locking member is movably confined within the mounting cavity, and the other end is adapted to extend outwards towards the outer edge of the open opening. The outer edge of the open opening of the cooking cavity has a first locking groove and a second locking groove corresponding to the first locking member and the second locking member. The flip-top cover has a mounting groove communicating with the mounting cavity. An unlocking member is movably confined within the mounting groove. The unlocking member has a connecting member extending into the mounting cavity. The device includes a first transmission component and a second transmission component. The connecting component is adapted to be driven and connected to the first locking component and the second locking component respectively via the first transmission component and the second transmission component. The flip cover includes an elastic component that is retractably connected to the door lock assembly. When the unlocking component is moved into the mounting groove by an external force, the elastic component is adapted to be stretched or compressed. The connecting component is adapted to drive the first locking component and the second locking component into the mounting cavity via the first transmission component and the second transmission component respectively, thereby separating them from the first locking groove and the second locking groove. When the external force on the unlocking component disappears, the unlocking component is adapted to be reset under the action of the elastic component. The connecting component is adapted to drive the first locking component and the second locking component out of the mounting cavity via the first transmission component and the second transmission component respectively, thereby engaging with the first locking groove and the second locking groove. The air fryer, by setting the connecting member on the unlocking member, drives the first transmission member, the second transmission member, the first locking member, and the second locking member to move through the connecting member, thereby making the first locking member and the second locking member separable and engaging with the body. This simplifies the transmission structure of the door lock assembly, effectively reduces the production cost and user cost of the air fryer, and improves the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, one end of the first transmission member and the second transmission member are movably connected to the first locking member and the second locking member, respectively, and the other end is provided with a first connecting groove and a second connecting groove, both of which are sleeved on the connecting member. By using the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove to sleeve the first transmission member and the second transmission member onto the connecting member, not only can the transmission structure of the door lock assembly be simplified, thereby reducing production and user costs, but it can also ensure the synchronization of the movement of the first locking member and the second locking member, effectively improving the smoothness of the flip cover and the user experience.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the first and second transmission members are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft on both sides.

The first and second support structures are adapted to support and / or limit the first and second transmission members. By supporting and / or limiting the first and second transmission members through the first and second support structures, not only can sufficient space be provided for the first and second transmission members to drive the first and second locking members to move, thereby separating and engaging with the first and second locking grooves, but it can also prevent the first and second transmission members from jamming or being damaged due to displacement during rotation, effectively ensuring the transmission stability of the first and second transmission members and the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0007] In one optional embodiment, the connector has multiple reinforcing ribs on its outer side, the reinforcing ribs being adapted to connect the connector and the unlocking component. By providing multiple reinforcing ribs on the outer side of the connector that connect to the unlocking component, the structural strength of the connector can be improved, ensuring the transmission stability of the connector and the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, a guide plate extending into the mounting groove and matching the unlocking member is provided around the opening of the mounting groove. The unlocking member has guide portions extending outwards on both sides. The guide plate has guide grooves corresponding to the guide portions, and the guide portions are adapted to be slidably confined within the guide grooves. The guide plate and the guide portions are adapted to limit and / or guide the sliding of the unlocking member. By limiting and / or guiding the unlocking member through the guide plate and guide portions, not only can the unlocking member slide more smoothly, effectively ensuring the user experience, but it can also prevent misalignment, damage, or jamming of the unlocking member during sliding, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the door lock assembly and the air fryer.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the guide groove is adapted to be formed by an outward recess from the guide plate, and the elastic element is disposed within the guide groove, with one end of the elastic element abutting against the guide portion. By setting the guide groove to be formed by an outward recess from the guide plate, the structure of the door lock assembly can be simplified, reducing production and user costs. Simultaneously, by placing the elastic element within the guide groove and abutting against the guide portion, not only can the installation structure of the elastic element be simplified, reducing production and user costs, but the guide groove can also be used to position and / or limit the installation of the elastic element, reducing the installation difficulty and preventing misalignment and damage to the elastic element during compression or tension, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the elastic element.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the opening of the guide groove is provided with a constricted portion, the internal dimension of which is smaller than the external dimension of the guide portion. The guide portion is adapted to be slidably confined within the guide groove by the constricted portion. Confining the guide portion slidably within the guide groove by the constricted portion not only prevents misalignment, jamming, or damage to the guide portion during sliding, but also prevents the guide portion from detaching from the guide groove and causing failure, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the unlocking component.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the outer dimension of the guide portion is larger than the opening size of the mounting groove, and the unlocking member is adapted to be slidably confined within the mounting groove via the guide portion. By setting the outer dimension of the guide portion to be larger than the opening size of the mounting groove, the unlocking member can be prevented from dislodging from the mounting groove during sliding, effectively ensuring the stable performance of the unlocking member.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, a guide plate extending into the mounting groove and matching the unlocking member is provided around the opening of the mounting groove. The guide plate has a vertically arranged sliding groove that matches the connector, and the connector is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The sliding groove is adapted to limit and / or guide the sliding of the connector. By limiting and / or guiding the sliding of the connector through the sliding groove, misalignment, damage, or jamming of the connector during sliding can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the door lock assembly and the air fryer.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the flip cover is hinged to the body, and the top of the flip cover has a protrusion extending beyond the outer surface of the flip cover. The mounting groove is located at the bottom of the protrusion and is adapted to be adjacent to the outer surface of the flip cover. The bottom of the unlocking member is adapted to be flush with the bottom plane of the protrusion. By placing the unlocking member at the bottom of the protrusion adjacent to the outer surface of the flip cover and setting the bottom of the unlocking member to be flush with the bottom plane of the protrusion, the unlocking member can be hidden, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air fryer.

[0029] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 The diagram shown is a simple flip-top air fryer provided by this utility model. The air fryer includes a body 10, a cooking chamber 11 with an open opening disposed in the body 10, and a hot air circulation system communicating with the cooking chamber 11. The hot air circulation system is adapted to generate circulating heat flow and introduce it into the cooking chamber 11 to cook the food in the cooking chamber 11.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cooking cavity 11 has a flip-top cover 20 at its opening, which can be flipped to open and close. One end of the flip-top cover 20 is hinged to the body 10, and the other end is provided with a door lock assembly 30. The door lock assembly 30 includes a first locking member 31 and a second locking member 32 disposed opposite to each other. The flip-top cover 20 has a mounting cavity 33. One end of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 is movably confined within the mounting cavity 33, and the other end is adapted to extend outward from the outer edge of the opening to the outside of the flip-top cover 20. The outer edge of the opening of the cooking cavity 11 is provided with a door lock assembly that engages with the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32. The first locking groove and the second locking groove are corresponding to 32.

By using the first connecting groove 361 and the second connecting groove 371 to sleeve the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 on the connecting member 351, not only can the transmission structure of the door lock assembly 30 be simplified, thereby reducing production costs and user operating costs, but it can also ensure the synchronization of the movement of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, effectively improving the smoothness of use of the flip cover 20 and the user experience.

[0033] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 362 and a second rotating shaft 372 on both sides. The mounting cavity 33 is respectively provided with a first support structure 331 and a second support structure 332 corresponding to the first rotating shaft 362 and the second rotating shaft 372. The first rotating shaft 362 and the second rotating shaft 372 are adapted to be movably limited on the first support structure 331 and the second support structure 332, respectively. The first support structure 331 and the second support structure 332 are adapted to support the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37. By supporting the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 through the first support structure 331 and the second support structure 332, the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 can be supported, ensuring that the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 have sufficient room to move to drive the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, thereby separating and engaging with the first locking groove and the second locking groove. At the same time, the first support structure 331 and the second support structure 332 are adapted to limit the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37. By limiting the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 through the first support structure 331 and the second support structure 332, the situation of jamming or damage caused by displacement of the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 during rotation can be avoided, effectively ensuring the transmission stability of the first transmission member 36 and the second transmission member 37 and the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connector 351 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 352 on its outer side, and the reinforcing ribs 352 are adapted to connect the connector 351 and the unlocking member 35. By providing a plurality of reinforcing ribs 352 connected to the unlocking member 35 on the outer side of the connector 351, the structural strength of the connector 351 can be improved, ensuring the transmission stability of the connector 351 and the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, a guide plate 38 extending into the mounting groove 34 and matching the unlocking member 35 is provided around the opening of the mounting groove 34. The unlocking member 35 has guide portions 353 extending outward on both sides.

The guide portion 353 is adapted to be slidably limited within the guide groove 381. The guide plate 38 and the guide portion 353 are adapted to guide the sliding of the unlocking member 35. By guiding the sliding of the unlocking member 35 through the guide plate 38 and the guide portion 353, the unlocking member 35 can slide more smoothly, effectively ensuring the user experience. At the same time, the guide plate 38 and the guide portion 353 are adapted to limit the unlocking member 35. By limiting the unlocking member 35 through the guide plate 38 and the guide portion 353, the unlocking member 35 can be prevented from being misaligned, damaged or jammed during sliding, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the door lock assembly 30 and the air fryer.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the guide groove 381 is adapted to be recessed outward from the guide plate 38, and the elastic member 40 is provided in the guide groove 381. The elastic member is adapted to be located above the guide portion 353, and the bottom of the elastic member 40 is adapted to abut against the guide portion 353, and the top of the elastic member 40 is adapted to abut against the top wall of the mounting cavity 33. By configuring the guide groove 381 as a recess formed by the guide plate 38 in the outward direction, the structure of the door lock assembly 30 can be simplified, reducing production and user costs. Simultaneously, by placing the elastic element 40 within the guide groove 381 and abutting against the guide portion 353, not only can the installation structure of the elastic element 40 be simplified, reducing production and user costs, but the guide groove 381 can also be used to position the elastic element 40 during installation, reducing the difficulty of installing the elastic element 40. Furthermore, by placing the elastic element 40 within the guide groove 381, the guide groove 381 can also limit the elastic element 40, preventing misalignment and damage during compression or stretching, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the elastic element 40.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, the opening of the guide groove 381 is adapted to face the guide portion 353. A constricted portion 382 is provided at the opening of the guide groove 381. The internal dimensions of the constricted portion 382 are adapted to be smaller than the external dimensions of the guide portion 353. The guide portion 353 is adapted to be slidably confined within the guide groove 381 by the constricted portion 382. By providing the constricted portion 382 at the opening of the guide groove 381 to slidably confine the guide portion 353 within the guide groove 381, not only can the misalignment, jamming, or damage of the guide portion 353 during sliding be avoided, but also the situation where the guide portion 353 disengages from the guide groove 381 during sliding, leading to failure, can be effectively guaranteed, ensuring the performance stability of the unlocking member 35.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the mounting groove 34 has an opening 341, and the external dimension of the guide portion 353 is preferably larger than the size of the opening 341 of the mounting groove 34. The unlocking member 35 is adapted to be slidably confined within the mounting groove 34 by means of the guide portion 353. By setting the external dimension of the guide portion 353 to be larger than the size of the opening 341 of the mounting groove 34, the unlocking member 35 can be prevented from detaching from the mounting groove 34 during sliding, effectively ensuring the stable performance of the unlocking member 35.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the guide plate 38 is further provided with a vertically arranged sliding groove 383 that matches the connector 351, and the connector 351 is adapted to be slidably disposed within the sliding groove 383. In the air fryer, the sliding groove 383 is adapted to guide and limit the sliding of the connector 351. By guiding and limiting the sliding of the connector 351 through the sliding groove 383, misalignment, damage, or jamming of the connector 351 during sliding can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the door lock assembly 30 and the air fryer.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, the bottom of the flip cover 20 is hinged to the body 10, and the top of the flip cover 20 has a protrusion 21 extending beyond the outer surface of the flip cover 20. The mounting groove 34 is located at the bottom of the protrusion 21 and is adapted to be disposed adjacent to the outer surface of the flip cover 20. The bottom of the unlocking member 35 is adapted to be flush with the bottom plane of the protrusion 21. By placing the unlocking member 35 at the bottom of the protrusion 21 adjacent to the outer surface of the flip cover 20 and setting the bottom of the unlocking member 35 to be flush with the bottom plane of the protrusion 21, the unlocking member 35 can be hidden to improve the overall aesthetics of the air fryer.
