Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fryers, and in particular to a sealing structure for the frying bucket of a steam air fryer. Background Technology
[0002] Steam air fryers are popular because their steam generators spray water mist into the frying drum to enhance cooking results when air-frying food. Currently, side-pull-out steam air fryers typically consist of a main frying pot, a frying drum, and a heating and steam generator housed within the main frying pot. However, due to poor sealing between the drum and the main frying pot, steam can seep between the outer wall of the drum and the inner wall of the main frying pot, condensing into water droplets that run down. Therefore, a wastewater collection box is needed at the bottom of the main frying pot to collect this condensate. This results in a relatively complex structure for the steam air fryer and can lead to high humidity at the bottom and potential malfunctions in electrical components. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing structure for the frying bucket of a steam air fryer to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:
[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a sealing structure for a steam air fryer bucket is designed, comprising: an air fryer body and a bucket body. The air fryer body has an insertion port on its front side and a first sealing element connected to its inner wall. The first sealing element has a trapezoidal structure in which the width of the front opening is greater than the width of the rear opening. The bucket body includes a bucket body and a heat insulation shell connected to the bucket body. The upper end of the bucket body has a flange edge, which has a trapezoidal structure in which the width of the front side is greater than the width of the rear side. A second sealing element is connected to the rear side of the heat insulation shell. When the bucket body is inserted into the air fryer body through the insertion port, the flange edge and the first sealing element are in sealing contact, and the first sealing element and the second sealing element are in sealing contact to form a sealing ring structure.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a first sealing element is connected inside the fryer body, and a second sealing element is connected to the heat insulation shell. When the frying bucket body and the fryer body are inserted and fitted together, the first sealing element and the second sealing element contact to form a sealing ring structure. This separates the upper chamber formed by the space between the inside of the bucket body and the upper part of the fryer body from the lower chamber formed by the space between the outside of the bucket body and the inside of the fryer body. The flange edge at the top of the bucket body makes sealing contact with the first sealing groove, resulting in a good sealing and isolation effect. This effectively prevents steam from entering the lower chamber during the cooking process, ensuring that the inside of the fryer body is not contaminated. A wastewater collection box needs to be designed to reduce the humidity in the bottom space inside the fryer body and reduce the failure rate of electrical components. In addition, the first seal is designed as a trapezoidal structure with the front opening wider than the rear opening, and the flange edge is also designed as a trapezoidal structure with the front side wider than the rear side. The trapezoidal seal solves the problem of resistance caused by friction between the barrel and the first sealing ring when the barrel is pushed into the fryer body. The advantage of the trapezoidal fit is that when the barrel is pushed in, it can be easily pushed all the way in and the more it is pushed in, the better the seal becomes. When the barrel is pulled out, it can be easily pulled out without frictional resistance.
[0007] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:
[0008] In some embodiments, when the barrel is inserted into the fryer body, the second seal is in sealed contact with the heating element cover on the fryer body.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first seal includes a U-shaped portion and a connecting portion connected to the outside of the U-shaped portion, the connecting portion being fixedly connected to the fryer body, and the flange edge abutting against the inner wall of the U-shaped portion.
[0010] In some embodiments, the upper sidewall of the heat insulation shell is provided with an insertion groove, and the second sealing element is partially inserted into the insertion groove.
[0011] In some embodiments, the second seal is provided with a plurality of connectors, and the sidewall of the insertion groove is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, and the plurality of connectors are inserted into the plurality of insertion holes one by one.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first and second seals are made of silicone or silicone rubber, and the bottom of the second seal has a groove. Attached Figure Description
