[0103] In this application, the cooking apparatus may include a vacuum frying system. The vacuum frying system can be used for vacuum low-temperature frying of food ingredients. Compared to conventional frying, the oil temperature during vacuum low-temperature frying is typically controlled between 80°C and 100°C, far lower than the 160°C to 230°C of conventional frying. This low-temperature treatment effectively reduces the destruction of heat-sensitive nutrients in food, such as vitamins and antioxidants, thereby better preserving the nutritional value of the food.

[0104] It should be noted that in a vacuum environment, the boiling point of water in food decreases, allowing it to evaporate rapidly and significantly shortening the drying time. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces potential adverse changes to food caused by prolonged high-temperature processing, resulting in a crisp and delicious texture.

[0105] Because frying occurs under vacuum, the moisture in the food can be directly converted into steam and escape, rather than absorbing large amounts of oil. Therefore, the oil content of vacuum-fried foods can be significantly lower than that of traditionally fried foods, generally between 10% and 20%, contributing to a healthier dietary option.

[0106] Low-temperature processing and rapid dehydration help preserve the original color and flavor of food. Flavor and aroma components in food are less likely to be lost under vacuum conditions; instead, they tend to concentrate due to reduced moisture, resulting in a crispier texture and richer flavor.

[0107] Vacuum frying, due to its extremely low moisture content and anaerobic environment, effectively inhibits microbial growth, extends the shelf life of food, and facilitates storage and transportation.

[0108] This technology is applicable to a variety of food ingredients, including but not limited to fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, aquatic products, and livestock and poultry meat, and can produce snack foods with unique taste and rich nutrition.

[0109] In this application, the vacuum frying system can be located inside drawer 21. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the vacuum frying system can also be located inside the housing 1, or in other areas outside the inner liner 11.

[0111] In this application, references Figure 4 The vacuum frying system may include a vacuum module 4. The vacuum module 4 can communicate with the frying chamber 30 inside the frying tank 3. The vacuum module 4 is used to create a vacuum inside the frying chamber 30. Therefore, food can be vacuum-fried at low temperature inside the frying chamber 30.

[0112] In this application, references Figures 5-6 The frying container 3 may include a container body 31. A frying cavity 30 may be formed inside the container body 31. A frying cavity opening 3191 may be formed at the top of the container body. The frying cavity opening may communicate with the frying cavity.

[0113] In this application, references Figures 5-6 The frying container 3 may include a lid 32. The lid 32 may be attached to the top of the container body. The lid 32 is used to open or close the frying chamber opening 3191. The lid 32 may be movably positioned on the top of the container body 31.

[0114] In this application, the lid 32 can be rotatably mounted on the top of the barrel body 31. The lid 32 can rotate relative to the barrel body 31 to open or close the frying chamber opening 3191, thereby opening or closing the frying chamber 30. The lid 32 can also be detachably mounted on the top of the barrel body 31.

[0115] In this application, when drawer 21 is pulled out from drawer box 2, bucket lid 32 can be exposed outside drawer box 2, so that bucket lid 32 can open or close the frying chamber opening, thereby facilitating the opening or closing of frying chamber 30.

[0116] In this application, references Figures 5-7 The frying tank 3 may include a wire mesh 33. The wire mesh 33 may be disposed inside the frying chamber 30. The inside of the wire mesh 33 may be used to hold the food to be fried. The oil in the frying chamber 30 can enter the inside of the wire mesh 33, thereby frying the food inside the wire mesh 33.

[0117] A food placement cavity 3351 can be formed inside the mesh cylinder 33. An opening 3352 for the placement cavity can be formed at the top of the mesh cylinder. The opening for the placement cavity communicates with the food placement cavity. Food to be fried can be placed into the food placement cavity 3351 through the opening 3352.

[0221] In this application, references Figure 5 The cooking apparatus includes an oil storage box 72. The oil storage box can be connected to an oil storage tank. Oil from the oil storage tank can enter the oil storage box.

[0222] In this application, the oil collection box and the drain box can be located on both sides of the frying drum. The oil collection box, the frying drum, and the drain box can be arranged sequentially along the length of the container. The condenser can be located behind the drain box.

[0223] In this application, references Figures 21-23 The drawer box 2 is located outside the inner liner. The drawer box can also be located below the inner liner. The drawer box has a first side end 201 and a second side end 202 that are arranged opposite each other along the length of the box. The drawer is pulled out and installed inside the drawer box.

[0224] The frying drum can be housed inside a drawer. A frying chamber is formed inside the frying drum. The condenser is located inside the drawer. A vacuum module evacuates the frying chamber through the condenser chamber, allowing air to flow through the condenser chamber.

[0225] In this application, references Figure 24 The cooking apparatus may include a circulating water pump 921. The circulating water pump may include a first water inlet 9211. The circulating water pump may include a second water inlet 9212. The first water inlet may be connected to a water storage box 16.

[0227] In this application, the cooking apparatus may include a first water pipe. One end of the first water pipe is connected to a first water inlet. The cooking apparatus may include a second water pipe. One end of the second water pipe is connected to the water supply pump of a steam generator. The cooking apparatus may include a third water pipe. One end of the third water pipe is connected to a water storage box. The other ends of the first water pipe, the second water pipe, and the third water pipe can be connected by a tee fitting.

[0228] In this application, references Figures 21-24 The cooking apparatus may include a water supply pipe 925. One end of the water supply pipe has a water inlet connected to a second water inlet. The other end of the water supply pipe has a water inlet connected to a cooling water inlet and a cooling water outlet, so that the water in the cooling chamber exchanges heat with the air in the condensing chamber.

[0229] The water supply pipe includes at least a first section of water pipe 9251. The first section of water pipe is located inside the drawer box. The first section of water pipe is located at the back of the drawer. The water supply pipe also includes at least a second section of water pipe 9252. The second section of water pipe is located inside the drawer box. The second section of water pipe is located at the back of the drawer. One end of the first section of water pipe is connected to one end of the second section of water pipe. The other end of the first section of water pipe is called the first end of the water pipe, and the other end of the second section of water pipe is called the second end of the water pipe.

[0230] In this application, references Figures 21-24 The cooking appliance may include a resilient element 926. The resilient element may be located inside the drawer box. The resilient element may be located outside the drawer. The resilient element is connected to the connection point of the first and second water pipe sections, and is also connected to the drawer box.

[0231] When the drawer is inserted to its deepest point into the drawer box, the connection point between the first section of the water pipe and the second end of the water pipe is located on the side of the first end and the second end of the water pipe closer to the second side.

[0232] When the drawer is pulled out of the drawer box, the drawer moves forward through the condenser, pulling the first end of the water pipe forward. The first end of the water pipe drives the connection between the first section of the water pipe and the second section of the water pipe forward and closer to the first side end. The connection between the first section of the water pipe and the second section of the water pipe pulls the elastic element, causing the elastic element to be in a stretched state.

[0233] When the drawer is pushed back into the drawer box, the first end of the water pipe moves backward, and the elastic element in the stretched state pulls the connection between the first and second sections of the water pipe backward and closer to the second side end.

[0234] The frying drum is housed inside the drawer, allowing it to be stored away when not frying, preventing dust accumulation. A vacuum module creates a vacuum in the frying chamber, enabling frying in a vacuum environment. A condenser extracts and condenses the steam generated during frying, preventing excessive steam from entering the room. A water supply pipe guides condensate from the water tank into the condenser and back into the water tank, allowing the water to exchange heat with the air inside the condenser, causing condensation. The water supply pipe includes a first section inside the drawer and a second section outside the drawer, ensuring sufficient length for efficient water supply when the drawer is pulled out. The water pipes can supply water to the condenser normally. A flexible element is installed at the connection point of the first and second sections of the water pipe. This flexible element connects to the drawer box. When the drawer is pulled out, the first end of the water pipe moves forward, and the connection point of the first and second sections moves forward and closer to the first side end, allowing the water supply pipe to extend. The flexible element is in a stretched state, enabling the first and second sections of the water pipe to move in an orderly manner. Furthermore, when the drawer is pushed back into the drawer box, the flexible element pulls the first and second sections of the water pipe back in an orderly manner. The bending of the water supply pipes prevents the first and second sections from being crushed during the drawer's operation, ensuring a normal water supply to the condenser and guaranteeing normal condensation. A circulating water pump is installed to introduce condensate from the water storage tank into the condenser and also to return condensate to the water storage tank, providing power for water flow.

[0235] In this application, when the drawer is pulled out of the drawer box, the drawer pulls the first end of the water pipe forward through the condenser. The first end of the water pipe drives the connection between the first section of the water pipe and the second section of the water pipe away from the connection between the elastic element and the drawer box. The connection between the first section of the water pipe and the second section of the water pipe pulls the elastic element, causing the elastic element to be in a stretched state, which enables the water supply pipe to extend.

[0236] When the drawer is pushed back into the drawer box, the first end of the water pipe moves backward, and the elastic element in the stretched state pulls the connection between the first and second sections of the water pipe close to the connection between the elastic element and the drawer box; the first and second sections of the water pipe are pulled back in an orderly manner, and the water supply pipe bends to prevent the first and second sections of the water pipe from being squeezed and broken during the process of pulling the drawer out.

[0237] In this application, the first water pipe is located in front of the second water pipe; along the extension direction of the water supply pipe, the first water pipe is located on the side of the second water pipe away from the water storage box, so as to avoid the first water pipe and the second water pipe squeezing and colliding with each other during the process of pulling out the drawer, and to prevent the first water pipe and the second water pipe from being squeezed and broken, thus ensuring normal water supply to the condenser.

[0238] In this application, the elastic element is an elastic rope. One end of the elastic rope is connected to the connection between the first section of the water pipe and the second section of the water pipe. Using an elastic rope as the elastic element facilitates the connection between the elastic element and the water supply pipe.

[0239] In the front-to-back direction of the cabinet, one end of the elastic cord connecting the first and second water pipes is located in front of the other end of the elastic cord. In the length direction of the cabinet, one end of the elastic cord connecting the first and second water pipes is located on the side of the other end of the elastic cord closer to the first side end. When the drawer is pulled out of the drawer box, the elastic cord is stretched, and when the drawer is pushed back into the drawer box, the first and second water pipes can be easily pulled back.

[0240] In this application, the cooking apparatus includes cable ties (not shown). The cable ties secure the elastic element to the drawer box, facilitating the connection between the elastic element and the drawer box.

[0241] In this application, references Figures 19-24 The cooking apparatus includes a cooling water inlet pipe 461.

The cooling water inlet pipe and cooling water outlet pipe facilitate the supply of water to the cooling chamber and the return of water from the cooling chamber to the water supply pipe.

[0242] In this application, the cooling water inlet pipe, cooling water outlet pipe, and water supply pipe are connected by a tee pipe to facilitate the connection of the cooling water inlet pipe, cooling water outlet pipe, and water supply pipe.

[0243] In this application, references Figures 19-24 The drawer box includes a drawer box back panel 203. The drawer box back panel is located at the rear end of the drawer box. A first back panel through hole 2031 is formed on the drawer box back panel, which extends through the drawer box back panel in the front-rear direction of the box body. A water supply pipe is located in the first back panel through hole, which facilitates the water supply pipe to extend from the outside of the drawer box into the drawer box, or facilitates the water supply pipe to extend from the inside of the drawer box out of the drawer box.

[0244] In this application, references Figures 19-24The drawer includes a drawer back panel 212. A second back panel through hole 2121 is formed on the drawer back panel, extending through the front and rear of the cabinet.
