[0020] The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, an air fryer with a gentle heating function includes an air fryer body 3, a cooking chamber located within the air fryer body, and a hot air assembly 10. A frying basket assembly is located within the cooking chamber, and an air inlet and an air outlet 2 are located on the air fryer body. The hot air assembly includes a fan and a heating element. The heating element heats the air, and the fan circulates the heated air within the cooking chamber and the air fryer body, forming a hot air circulation channel. The hot air assembly is located above the cooking chamber and below the air guide shroud 12. A heat insulation shroud 11 is also provided between the heating element and the air guide shroud, forming an air outlet channel 9 that connects the hot air circulation channel and the air outlet. The fan circulates the air, creating a breeze. The air enters through the air inlet, is heated by the heating element, and is then sent into the cooking chamber to heat the food inside. Some of the hot air is drawn back in, heated, and sent back into the cooking chamber, while some is exhausted from the air outlet channel and the air outlet.
[0022] A guide vane 8 is installed facing the airflow within the air outlet duct 9. A hot air opening 16 is formed between the guide vane 8 and the air outlet duct 9 to guide some of the hot air. The guide vane 8 bends into the air outlet duct 9 from the hot air opening 16, forming a rocker arm shape. A portion of the hot air is then introduced into the hot air opening by the guide vane 8. A smoking box 1 is located above the hot air opening, and the hot air opening connects to the interior of the smoking box. A hot air outlet is located on the smoking box, and the hot air outlet connects to the cooking chamber through a smoking pipe 4. The hot air heats the spices, such as fruit wood, inside the smoking box, and then enters the cooking chamber through the smoking pipe 4. Because the guide vane 8 is designed in a rocker arm shape, the hot air opening is relatively small, accelerating the airflow and increasing the siphon effect.
[0023] like Figure 2 , 5As shown, the smoking box 1 includes a box body, a combustion rack 5 arranged in the box body, a combustion cavity formed between the combustion rack and the box body, a ventilation cavity formed between the combustion rack and the box body, the bottom 6 of the box body is also provided with a mesh, and the hot air opening 16 is communicated with the ventilation cavity through the mesh arranged on the bottom of the box body. The hot air outlet 17 is arranged on the top of the box body, and the hot air outlet is provided with a filter material. The hot air enters the ventilation cavity through the mesh arranged on the bottom, heats the fruit wood on the combustion rack, and then goes out of the hot air outlet. When going out, the air is filtered through the filter material to filter some impurities, so that the residual debris of the burned fruit wood cannot enter the pot and contact the food. The cooking cavity is provided with an inlet opening 14 communicated with the smoking pipe 4, and a guide flap 13 is arranged on one side of the inlet opening in the direction of the cooking cavity. The guide flap can also increase the siphon effect, help the hot air of the fruit wood flavor into the cooking cavity, and also has a blocking effect on the reverse wind to prevent the wind from flowing back into the smoking box.
[0024] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The top of the air deflector is formed with a sliding groove 18 for sliding the smoking box, and the two sides and the inner side of the sliding groove are respectively provided with limiting baffles. The smoking box 1 is limited in the sliding groove, and the box body opening is formed on the main body of the fryer outward along the sliding groove. The push block 7 is arranged in the sliding groove and between the box body opening and the smoking box. The outer surface of the push block is flush with the surface of the main body of the fryer, and the outer surface of the push block is provided with a through hole 15. The outer surface of the smoking box is provided with a hook 14. When adding or removing fruit wood, only the push block 7 is taken out with a hook, and then the smoking box 1 is taken out from the sliding groove 18 with a hook. After the fruit wood is placed, it is sent back along the original route, and the push block is placed. The operation is very convenient.
[0025] The utility model places the smoking box in the air outlet channel 9, relies on the drainage piece 8 to guide the hot air needing to be discharged from the air outlet, and introduces the hot air into the smoking box 1 arranged above. The fruit wood or other spices is placed in the smoking box, then the hot air heats the fruit wood or spices, generates hot air with the flavor of fruit wood or spices, and is introduced into the cooking cavity, so that the food has the required flavor.
[0026] The utility model utilizes the existing hot air, does not need to additionally set heating element, only needs to cut a piece of drainage piece in the air outlet channel, and sets a smoking box communicated with the cooking cavity, so that the structure is simple, and the overall change is small.
[0027] The drainage piece 8 of the utility model is provided with a flap, only a small hot air opening is formed, the hot air can be guided to the smoking box, and the overall air outlet is not affected.
[0028] The utility model introduces the hot air with the flavor of spices into the cooking cavity through the smoking pipe, and the guide flap 13 is arranged in the cooking cavity. The guide flap can increase the siphon effect, help the hot air into the cooking cavity, and also has a blocking effect on the reverse wind to prevent the wind from flowing back into the smoking box.
[0029] The utility model takes and puts the spice very simply, the smoking box is limited in the sliding slot 18 of the wind scooper top, only needs a hook first to take out the push block 7 of being placed in the outside, then takes out the smoking box, then can take and put the fruit wood etc. Spice. It is not necessary to have the spice smell, and also only needs to not place any spice in the smoking box.
[0030] The utility model whole structure is simple and reasonable, also convenient operation.
