Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and particularly relates to an air fryer. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shell of a common air fryer is provided with an exhaust member, which can be used for discharging water vapor in the cooking cavity during operation, so that the food obtains a better frying effect. The exhaust member is provided with an air outlet. Common air outlets include two types: one is a lateral opening, and the other is an upward opening. Regardless of which type, when the hot air is discharged, the hot air is concentrated and discharged from the air outlet in a single direction, which causes heat to accumulate, and the user is easily scalded, resulting in unsafe exhaust.

[0003] A type of existing air fryer is provided with a shielding member at the air outlet. During operation of the machine, the shielding member can be rotated and opened to achieve air discharge under the driving of the exhaust airflow. The advantage is that the shielding member can shield the air outlet in the state that the machine is not working, thereby achieving dust protection and preventing foreign matter from entering the machine body through the air outlet. However, the disadvantage is that a shielding member needs to be configured for each air outlet, which results in more accessories used, a complex structure, and the fact that all shielding members have the same angle when opened, so that the exhaust airflow is still discharged in the same direction, which makes it difficult to disperse heat and still has a high risk of scalding.

[0004] Another type of air fryer is disclosed in patent CN202222731227.6, which includes an air outlet pipe arranged in the machine body and a movable baffle connected to the air outlet pipe. The movable baffle can automatically open or close the exhaust passage according to the use state of the air fryer, thereby enriching the processing function. However, when the exhaust passage is opened, the hot air in the heating cavity is still concentrated and discharged from the air outlet hole on the machine body, which cannot solve the problem that heat accumulation easily scalds the user. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model provides a kind of air fryer, to solve the problem that the existing air outlet structure when heat is discharged, hot air is concentrated and discharged in a single direction, which easily causes heat accumulation, resulting in high temperature, and increases the risk of scalding user.

[0006] The utility model discloses an air fryer, which comprises a machine body, a reflecting cover is arranged in the machine body, the reflecting cover divides the space in the machine body into an upper electrical cavity and a lower cooking cavity, an air outlet member is outwardly protruded from the machine body and communicates with the cooking cavity, an air outlet is arranged at the upper end of the air outlet member, a rotating shaft is arranged on the air outlet member and extends along the width direction of the air outlet member, first and second baffles are hingedly connected to the rotating shaft on both sides of the air outlet member in the length direction of the air outlet member, the first and second baffles are arranged above the air outlet, and the first and second baffles can rotate in opposite directions under the push of the exhaust airflow from the air outlet to open the air outlet.

[0007] The air fryer has the following additional technical features.

[0008] At least one of the first baffle and the second baffle is provided with a detachable counterweight.

[0009] The air fryer is further provided with a replacement baffle with different weight for replacing the first baffle or the second baffle.

[0010] The air outlet member comprises a mounting plate and an air outlet cylinder protruding on the mounting plate, the air outlet is arranged at the top of the air outlet cylinder, the mounting plate is fixed with the shell of the machine body, the upper end of the mounting plate extends upward relative to the air outlet cylinder, the mounting plate is provided with an outwardly protruding enclosing rib above the air outlet, the enclosing rib and the mounting plate form a heat insulation cavity, and the heat insulation cavity is arranged on the inner side of the air outlet.

[0011] The upper end of the heat insulation cavity is open.

[0012] The outer side wall of the enclosing rib is provided with the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is arranged in a spaced manner with the top of the air outlet cylinder.

[0013] The first baffle is hinged to the inner end of the rotating shaft, and the second baffle is hinged to the outer end of the rotating shaft.

[0014] The outer end of the rotating shaft is provided with a stopper, and the stopper prevents the second baffle from being pulled out of the rotating shaft.

[0015] The middle part of the end of the first baffle and the second baffle away from the rotating shaft is recessed towards the rotating shaft to form a recess in the middle and protrusions on both sides of the recess.

[0016] The electric appliance cavity is provided with a motor and a heat dissipation fan, and the airflow generated by the heat dissipation fan is discharged through the air outlet.

[0017] Due to the above technical scheme, the air fryer has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The air fryer of the utility model, in order to solve the problem of concentrated hot air discharge, leading to heat concentration, temperature is too high, easy to scald the user, the first baffle and the second baffle are arranged above the air outlet, when hot air is discharged, the first baffle and the second baffle rotate in opposite directions to open the air outlet, in the process of hot air pushing the first baffle and the second baffle, hot air flows along the first baffle and the second baffle, so that hot air is discharged in different directions from two areas, realizing the shunt of hot air, which can avoid the concentration of heat in the same area and cause the temperature to be too high, that is, when the hot air is shunted and discharged, the heat is dispersed, which is beneficial to reduce the temperature at the air outlet, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user. The scheme can avoid the damage caused by the frequent blowing of the same area of the same direction of the air outlet every time, so as to protect the articles around the air outlet.

[0019] By arranging the baffle, when the air fryer is idle, the baffle falls back to shield the air outlet under the action of gravity due to the absence of hot air blowing, which can play a dustproof role and prevent foreign matters such as mosquitoes from entering the machine body through the air outlet to affect the hygiene inside the machine body. At the same time, when the air fryer is working, the baffle overcomes the gravity to open the air outlet under the pushing of the discharged airflow, without the need to set an additional driving structure to drive the baffle to move, which can simplify the structure configuration and reduce the cost.

[0020] 2. According to the different exhaust capacity of the cooking cavity, the humidity in the cooking cavity can be adjusted to different degrees, so that the food obtains different tastes. For example, when the exhaust capacity is small, the food can retain a certain amount of moisture, which is beneficial to obtain a fresh and tender taste. When the exhaust capacity is large, the excess moisture can be fully discharged, so that the food obtains a crisp taste. In order to enrich the taste of food and meet the cooking needs of different food materials of the user, the exhaust capacity can be adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the air outlet. For example, when a smaller exhaust capacity is needed, the weight of the baffle can be increased to reduce the opening angle of the baffle. When a larger exhaust capacity is needed, the weight of the baffle can be appropriately reduced to increase the opening angle of the baffle.

[0021] In order to adjust the weight of the baffle, the baffle can be provided with a detachable counterweight, which can increase the weight by adding the counterweight and reduce the weight by detaching the counterweight to adjust the weight. Alternatively, a replaceable baffle can be configured, and the weight of the replaceable baffle is different from that of the original baffle. The baffle with a suitable weight can be selected according to the demand of the exhaust capacity.

[0022] 3. The first baffle and the second baffle are arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft, and when they rotate to open the air outlet, they form two wings. In order to improve the appearance, the two baffles are concave in the middle and convex at both ends at the end away from the rotating shaft, which can form the shape of butterfly wings and improve the visual experience of the user.

[0023] 4. In order to reduce the influence of the high temperature at the air outlet on the shell, prevent the shell from being deformed due to the high temperature, and affect the service life of the shell, the air outlet part is fixed to the shell by the mounting plate, and a heat insulation cavity is arranged between the mounting plate and the air outlet, so that the heat at the air outlet is blocked from being transmitted to the shell, thereby reducing the temperature of the shell and prolonging the service life of the shell.

[0024] In order to further reduce the temperature of the shell, the upper end of the heat insulation cavity is open, so that when the heat is transmitted to the heat insulation cavity, the heat insulation cavity is in communication with the atmosphere, and thus can exchange heat with the outside world in time to accelerate heat dissipation, thereby preventing the heat from being further transmitted to the shell.

[0025] Further, the outer side wall of the surrounding rib for forming the heat insulation cavity is provided with a rotating shaft for mounting the first baffle and the second baffle, and the rotating shaft is arranged in a spaced manner with the top wall of the air outlet cylinder, which not only provides conditions for the baffle to be mounted on the rotating shaft, but also forms a certain gap between the baffle and the top wall of the air outlet cylinder, thereby reducing the transmission of heat to the baffle through non-contact arrangement, avoiding the deformation of the baffle due to the heat, and affecting the shielding effect of the air outlet, and prolonging the service life of the baffle.

[0026] 5. In order to simplify the structure configuration, the first baffle and the second baffle can be mounted on the same rotating shaft, such as being mounted at both ends of the rotating shaft, so as to avoid interference and realize compact arrangement between structures.

[0027] Further, in order to prevent the baffle close to the outer side of the rotating shaft from being pulled out of the rotating shaft, the outer end of the rotating shaft is provided with a stop piece, which can play a role of stop limiting, thereby ensuring the reliability of the baffle installation.

[0028] 6. On the basis of the air outlet for discharging hot air, the air outlet can also be used for discharging heat dissipation air flow in the cavity of the electric appliance, and the temperature of the air flow is relatively low, which is beneficial to reduce the temperature at the air outlet when mixed with hot air, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides an air fryer, which comprises a body 10, a reflecting cover 11 is arranged in the body 10, the reflecting cover 11 divides the space in the body 10 into an upper electric appliance cavity 12 and a lower cooking cavity 13, a heating fan 14 and a heating pipe 15 are arranged in the cooking cavity 13, a motor 16 for driving the heating fan 14 is arranged in the electric appliance cavity 12, when the air fryer works, the air in the cooking cavity 13 is heated by the heating pipe 15 and is driven to circulate by the heating fan 14 to heat and cook the food.

[0044] An air outlet 18 communicating with the cooking cavity 13 is outwardly protruded on the body 10, and an air outlet 19 is arranged at the upper end of the air outlet 18, when the air fryer works, the cooking cavity 13 can discharge steam outwardly through the air outlet 19, so as to avoid excessive pressure in the cooking cavity 13. As shown in Figure 2 Or Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the opening of the air outlet 19 is upward, compared with the side air outlet mode, the wall surface can be avoided from being damaged by the side air outlet directly blowing the wall surface. The air outlet 19, for example, comprises a plurality of air outlet holes, by reasonably setting the aperture of a single air outlet hole, the probability of foreign matter entering can be reduced under the premise of meeting the air exhaust requirement, so as to improve the use hygiene.

[0045] Further, the air outlet piece 18 is provided with a rotating shaft 20 extending along the width direction thereof, and the rotating shaft 20 is provided with a first baffle 21 and a second baffle 22 hinged to the rotating shaft 20 at both sides of the length direction of the air outlet piece 18, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 shield above the air outlet 19, and the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can rotate in opposite directions under the pushing of the air flow discharged from the air outlet 19 to open the air outlet 19. By arranging the baffles, when the air fryer is idle, the baffles fall back to shield the air outlet 19 under the action of gravity due to the absence of hot air blowing, which can prevent dust and insects from entering the machine body 10 and affecting the hygiene inside the machine body 10, and at the same time, when the air fryer is working, the baffles open the air outlet 19 under the pushing of the discharged air flow to overcome gravity, without the need to arrange an additional driving structure to drive the baffles to move, which can simplify the structure configuration and reduce the cost.

[0046] It should be noted that the dust prevention and mosquito prevention of the machine body 10 by using the baffles is the basic function of arranging the baffles, and the main purpose of the present application is to optimize the distribution of the baffles to solve the problem that the existing hot air is concentratedly discharged, which leads to the concentration of heat and the excessively high temperature, and is easy to scald the user. Specifically, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are arranged above the air outlet 19, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 cover certain air outlet areas respectively, when hot air is discharged, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 rotate in opposite directions to open the air outlet 19 in the process of being pushed by the hot air, the hot air flows along the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, and the hot air can be discharged in different directions from the two areas, which realizes the shunting of the hot air, can avoid the concentration of heat in the same area to cause the excessively high temperature, that is, when the hot air is shunted and discharged, the heat is dispersed, which is beneficial to reduce the temperature at the air outlet 19, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user. In addition, the present scheme can also avoid the damage of the articles around the air outlet 19 caused by the frequent blowing of the air in the same direction.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3 the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are arranged along the length direction of the air outlet piece 18, and in the state of shielding the air outlet 19, the total length of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 is substantially equal to the total length of the air outlet piece 18, which meets that the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can completely shield the air outlet 19. Preferably, the rotating shaft 20 is arranged at a position corresponding to 1 / 2 of the length of the air outlet piece 18, so that the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 20, and the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can be processed to the same size, which provides processing convenience. The length direction and the width direction of the air outlet piece 18 are as shown in Figure 2As indicated by the middle arrow, the width direction of the air outlet piece is the direction in which the air outlet piece protrudes outward relative to the body, the length direction of the air outlet piece is the transverse extension direction of the air outlet piece, and the length direction of the air outlet piece is perpendicular to the width direction.

[0048] According to the different exhaust amounts of the cooking cavity 13, the humidity in the cooking cavity 13 can be adjusted to different degrees, so that the food obtains different tastes. For example, when the exhaust amount is small, the food can retain a certain amount of moisture, which is beneficial to obtain a fresh and tender taste. When the exhaust amount is large, the excess moisture can be fully exhausted, so that the food obtains a crisp taste. In order to enrich the taste of the food and meet the cooking needs of users for different food materials, the exhaust amount can be adjusted by adjusting the degree to which the air outlet 19 is opened. For example, when a smaller exhaust amount is needed, the weight of the baffle can be increased to reduce the angle at which the baffle is opened. When a larger exhaust amount is needed, the weight of the baffle can be appropriately reduced to increase the angle at which the baffle is opened. It can be understood that, under the premise that the force for pushing the baffle is constant, when the weight of the baffle is increased, the baffle can only be opened by a smaller angle when the airflow pushes the baffle, and the air outlet area is small. When the weight of the baffle is reduced, the baffle can be opened by a larger angle when the airflow pushes the baffle, so that the air outlet area is large, thereby adjusting the air outlet amount. The angle at which the baffle is opened refers to the included angle between the baffle and the plane on which the air outlet 19 is located.

[0049] In order to adjust the weight of the baffle, any of the following modes can be used.

[0050] In one embodiment, at least one of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 is provided with a detachable counterweight.

[0051] Specifically, the weight of the at least one baffle is adjustable. When the air outlet amount needs to be reduced, the counterweight is added. When the air outlet amount needs to be increased, the counterweight is removed, which is convenient to operate.

[0052] The counterweight and the baffle can be connected, for example, by buckling, magnetic attraction, or the like, so as to facilitate installation and removal and provide convenience for users. When the counterweight is installed, it is installed on the side of the baffle away from the air outlet 19, so that even if the user forgets to remove the counterweight after the processing is completed, the shielding effect of the baffle on the air outlet 19 is not affected. The counterweight is, for example, a counterweight block or a counterweight plate, which is preferably not larger than the size of the baffle.

[0053] In another embodiment, at least one of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 is provided with a replacement baffle with different weights which can be replaced.

[0054] For example, the first baffle 21 is provided with replaceable replacement baffles, the weight of the first baffle 21 is less than the weight of the replacement baffles, when the air volume needs to be increased, the first baffle 21 is used, when the air volume needs to be reduced, the first baffle 21 is removed and replaced with the replacement baffle, which is convenient to operate. Further, the first baffle 21 is provided with a plurality of replacement baffles with different weights, and the appropriate replacement baffle can be selected for use according to the required air volume. The first baffle 21 and the replacement baffle can be made of the same material and have different sizes (such as different thicknesses) to realize the weight difference, or the first baffle 21 and the replacement baffle can be made of different materials to realize the weight difference.

[0055] It can be understood that the above-mentioned adjustment of the air volume by using baffles with different weights can be realized at the same speed of the motor 16, and then in other embodiments, when the air volume needs to be adjusted, the weight of the baffle remains unchanged, and the speed of the motor 16 can be adjusted to realize it, that is, when the air volume needs to be small, the motor 16 is adjusted to work at a small speed, and when the air volume needs to be large, the motor 16 is adjusted to work at a large speed, so that the requirement for the baffle configuration can be reduced, and the structure can be simplified.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the middle part of the end of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 away from the rotating shaft 20 is recessed towards the rotating shaft 20 to form a middle recess 24 and a convex part 25 on both sides of the recess 24.

[0057] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can form a pair of butterfly wing shapes, which are more beautiful and can improve the visual experience of users.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment, the air outlet member 18 includes a mounting plate 181 and an air outlet cylinder 182 protruding on the mounting plate 181, the air outlet 19 is arranged at the top of the air outlet cylinder 182, the mounting plate 181 is fixed with the shell 101 of the machine body 10, the upper end of the mounting plate 181 extends upward relative to the air outlet cylinder 182, the mounting plate 181 is provided with an outwardly protruding surrounding rib 183 above the air outlet 19, the surrounding rib 183 and the mounting plate 181 form a heat insulation cavity 184, and the heat insulation cavity 184 is arranged on the inner side of the air outlet 19.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, by setting the heat insulation cavity 184, it can block the heat at the air outlet 19 from being transmitted to the shell 101, which is conducive to reducing the temperature of the shell 101, thereby prolonging the service life thereof. Specifically, the surrounding rib 183 is a U-shaped surrounding rib 183, which extends downward to the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182. In one embodiment, the surrounding rib 183 includes a bottom wall extending toward the mounting plate 181, which constitutes the bottom wall of the heat insulation cavity 184; or, in another embodiment, the bottom of the surrounding rib 183 is open, and the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182 constitutes the bottom wall of the heat insulation cavity 184. When the air fryer is working, the heat discharged from the air outlet 19 needs to pass through the surrounding rib 183, the heat insulation cavity 184 and the mounting plate 181 to reach the shell 101, and the transmission path is relatively long, which can effectively reduce the heat reaching the shell 101 and improve the heat insulation effect.

[0060] Further, the upper end of the heat insulation cavity 184 is open. As shown Figure 3 When the heat is transmitted to the heat insulation cavity 184, the heat insulation cavity 184 is in communication with the atmosphere and thus can exchange heat with the outside world in time to accelerate heat dissipation, which can prevent the heat from being further transmitted to the shell 101, which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the shell 101.

[0061] In one embodiment, the outer side wall of the surrounding rib 183 is provided with a rotating shaft 20 for mounting the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, and the rotating shaft 20 is spaced apart from the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182.

[0062] As shown Figure 2 The rotating shaft 20 is spaced apart from the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182, which provides conditions for the baffle to be installed on the rotating shaft 20, and also forms a certain gap between the baffle and the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182, thereby reducing the transmission of heat to the baffle through non-contact setting, which can avoid the baffle from being deformed due to excessive heat and affecting the shielding effect of the air outlet 19, and at the same time can improve the service life of the baffle. In addition, the rotating shaft 20 is not arranged on the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182, so that the top wall of the air outlet cylinder 182 has a larger area for arranging the air outlet 19, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, the first baffle 21 is hinged at the inner end of the rotating shaft 20, and the second baffle 22 is hinged at the outer end of the rotating shaft 20. The inner end of the rotating shaft 20 refers to the end of the rotating shaft 20 close to the mounting plate 181, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 20 refers to the end of the rotating shaft 20 away from the mounting plate 181.

[0064] By mounting the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 on the same rotating shaft 20, the structure configuration can be simplified, and the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are mounted at the two ends of the rotating shaft 20, which avoids interference and realizes compact arrangement between structures.

[0065] As shown Figure 4As shown, one end of the single baffle (i.e. the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22) is provided with a shaft sleeve 23, the shaft sleeve 23 is provided with an insertion opening 231 facing upward, when installing the baffle, the insertion opening 231 is aligned with the bottom of the rotating shaft 20, and then the shaft sleeve 23 is installed upward, which is very convenient. The semi-closed shaft sleeve 23 is beneficial to the installation of the two baffles corresponding to the two ends of the rotating shaft 20, and does not limit the installation order of the two baffles, which can facilitate the disassembly of a baffle and the replacement of other replacement baffles in the subsequent use process, and provides operation convenience.

[0066] Further, the outer end of the rotating shaft 20 is provided with a stop piece, which prevents the second baffle 22 from being pulled out of the rotating shaft 20. The stop piece is, for example, a silica gel ring or a metal ring, which can be in interference fit with the rotating shaft 20. The stop piece can play a role of stop limiting, which ensures the reliability of the baffle installation.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, the electric appliance cavity 12 is provided with a motor 16 and a cooling fan 17, and the airflow generated by the cooling fan 17 is discharged through the air outlet 19.

[0068] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 On the basis of the air outlet 19 for discharging hot air, the air outlet 19 can also be used for discharging the cooling airflow in the electric appliance cavity 12. The temperature of this part of the airflow is relatively low, and when it is mixed and discharged with hot air, it is beneficial to reduce the temperature at the air outlet 19, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user.

[0069] Preferably, the motor 16 simultaneously drives the cooling fan 17 and the hot fan 14 to rotate. When the cold air in the electric appliance cavity 12 and the hot air in the cooking cavity 13 are discharged from the air outlet 19 at the same time, the airflow flow is larger than that of simply discharging hot air, which is beneficial to the rotation of the baffle to open the air outlet 19. In order to realize the adjustment of the air outlet of the cooking cavity 13, the parameters of the motor 16 can be adjusted, that is, when the motor 16 operates at a relatively high speed, the air pressure is relatively large, which can make the baffle rotate to open a larger angle, thereby increasing the air outlet, and vice versa. When the motor 16 operates at a relatively low speed, the air pressure is relatively small, which can make the baffle rotate to open a smaller angle, thereby reducing the air outlet. This adjustment method can omit the adjustment of the baffle itself, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the baffle, save the operation amount of the user, and improve the user experience.

[0070] The technical scheme of the utility model is not limited to the above embodiment, it should be pointed out that the technical scheme of any one embodiment is combined with the technical scheme of one or more other embodiments, which is within the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail by general description and specific embodiments in the above, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the utility model all belong to the range of the utility model required to be protected.
