Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] Air fryers heat food inside the cooking chamber through hot air circulation. This circulation is achieved by heating the air with a heater and a fan before it is delivered into the cooking chamber. With increasing consumer demand for product diversification, air fryers featuring fruitwood smoking have emerged. However, in existing technologies, the smoking box for fruitwood smoking is generally located below the cooking chamber, with a separate heating element at the bottom of the smoking box, as seen in utility model patent ZL 202323265840.4. The fruitwood aroma produced by heating the fruitwood rises into the cooking chamber. Alternatively, an external smoking box can be used for easy removal and placement, directing the fruitwood aroma into the cooking chamber. External designs require disassembly and assembly, which is cumbersome, while internal designs require a separate heating element at the bottom. Although this improves heating efficiency, it also complicates the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides an air fryer with a mildly stimulating function that has a simpler structure.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An air fryer with a mild heating function includes an air fryer body, a cooking cavity disposed within the air fryer body, and a hot air assembly. The cooking cavity is provided with a frying basket assembly. Air is circulated through the cooking cavity and the air fryer body by the hot air assembly to form a hot air circulation channel. The air fryer is characterized in that a smoking box is provided in the hot air circulation channel. The smoking box is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is positioned facing the wind, and the air outlet is connected to the cooking cavity through a connecting pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the hot air assembly includes a fan and a heating element, which are located above the cooking chamber and below the air guide hood. The smoking box is located above the air guide hood, and a sunken channel is opened on the top of the fryer body. Part of the smoking box is placed in the sunken channel, and a cover plate is provided on the top of the sunken channel.

[0007] Preferably, the smoking box includes a box body and a combustion rack disposed in the box body. A combustion chamber is formed between the upper part of the combustion rack and the box body. The air outlet is located at the top of the combustion chamber. The combustion rack has mesh holes. A ventilation chamber is formed between the lower part of the combustion rack and the box body. An air inlet is located on one side of the ventilation chamber.

[0008] Preferably, the air inlet is located at the bottom of one side of the box body with the opening facing downwards, or at the top of one side of the box body with the opening facing upwards.

[0009] As a preferred option, a filter material is installed at the air outlet of the smoke box.

[0010] Preferably, the cooking chamber is connected to a connecting pipe through an inlet, and a guide rocker is provided on one side of the inlet in the direction of the cooking chamber.

[0011] As a preferred option, a hook and loop are provided on the top of the box.

[0012] This invention places the smoking box within a hot air circulation channel, relying on the introduced circulating hot air to heat the fruitwood or other spices inside the smoking box, imparting a fruitwood aroma to the food. The overall structure is simple and requires no additional heating element. Removing the fruitwood is also convenient; simply use a tool to remove the box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up a smoking box in the hot air circulation channel, uses existing hot air to heat the fruit wood, has a simple overall structure, makes the food more flavorful, and the operation of changing the spices in the smoking box is also simple.

[0019] The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] 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 4, a cooking chamber 7 located within the air fryer body, and a hot air assembly. A frying basket assembly is located within the cooking chamber. The hot air assembly includes a fan and a heating element, and is located below an air guide shroud 6. The output shaft of a motor 5 passes through the air guide shroud 6 and is connected to the fan below the air guide shroud. After the fan rotates, air is drawn in through the air inlet on the air fryer body, heated by the heating element, and then enters the cooking chamber to heat the food inside. Part of the hot air is expelled from the side of the air fryer body, and part of the hot air is drawn back in by the fan from the space between the cooking chamber and the air fryer body, forming a hot air circulation loop. This entire hot air circulation loop forms a hot air circulation channel.

[0021] A smoking box 3 is installed above the air guide hood, and a sunken channel 2 is opened at the top of the fryer body. Part of the smoking box 3 is placed in the sunken channel 2, and a cover plate 1 is provided on the top of the sunken channel. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the smoking box is located in the hot air circulation channel. The smoking box 3 has an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 9. The air inlet is positioned to face the wind, and the air outlet is connected to the cooking chamber through a connecting pipe 8. The circulating hot air enters from the air inlet 10 and heats the fruitwood or spices in the smoking box. The hot air with the aroma of fruitwood then enters the cooking chamber 7 from the air outlet 9 through the connecting pipe 9, giving the food in the cooking chamber a fruitwood aroma.

[0022] The smoking box includes a box body 13 and a combustion rack 12 disposed within the box body. The combustion rack is used to hold fruitwood or spices, and a combustion chamber is formed between the top of the combustion rack and the box body. The combustion rack 12 has mesh openings, and a ventilation chamber is formed between the bottom of the combustion rack and the box body. An air inlet 10 is located on one side of the ventilation chamber, and an air outlet 9 is located at the top of the combustion chamber. Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet 10 is located at the bottom of one side of the box body. It can be positioned downwards, allowing circulating upward-flowing hot air to enter the ventilation chamber from the air inlet 10 and then heat the fruitwood on the combustion rack 12. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet 10 can also be set upwards, located on the top side of the box. Hot air drawn downwards by the fan enters the ventilation chamber through the air inlet 10. If a filter material is installed at the air outlet, the hot air with the fruitwood flavor needs to be filtered before entering the cooking chamber, which can filter impurities and prevent the fruitwood residue after combustion from entering the pot and coming into contact with the food.

[0023] The smoking box has a hook 11 at the top, which is conveniently located within the recessed channel 2. When fruitwood needs to be removed, open the top cover 1 of the fryer body, hook the hook 11, and remove the smoking box 3 through the recessed channel 2. Then open the box, place the fruitwood inside, and return it to its original position. The box and the combustion rack can be installed using a pull-out design. Figure 5 As shown, the cooking chamber is connected to the connecting pipe 8 through the inlet. A guide rocker plate 14 is provided on one side of the inlet, tilting inward toward the cooking chamber. The guide rocker plate 14 reduces the passage of hot air into the cooking chamber, accelerates airflow, increases the siphon effect, helps the hot air with fruit and wood aroma to enter the cooking chamber, and also blocks the reverse airflow, thus preventing the air from flowing back into the smoking box.

[0024] This invention places a smoking box within a hot air circulation channel. A portion of the circulating hot air is introduced to heat the fruitwood or other spices inside the smoking box, imparting a fruitwood aroma to the food. The overall structure is simple. It utilizes existing circulating hot air, eliminating the need for a separate heating element. Removing the fruitwood is also convenient; the box can be easily removed using a tool.

[0025] This utility model has a simple and reasonable overall structure, which makes food more flavorful and makes it easy to change the spices in the smoking box.
