Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking devices, in particular to a cooking device with a secondary mixing exhaust structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] An air fryer is a commonly used cooking device, which works on the principle of using high-speed circulating hot air to heat and cook food, and can achieve a similar fried taste without or with a small amount of oil. However, during the use of the air fryer, due to the evaporation of water caused by heating and the expansion of cold air caused by heating, part of the hot air in the cooking cavity needs to be discharged to the outside of the air fryer through the exhaust channel. For example, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220988542U discloses an air fryer, which includes a top cover, a reflector and an inner pot. The top cover and the reflector form a cold air cavity for heat dissipation. The top cover is provided with an exhaust port. The top cover is formed with an air outlet cavity near the side of the exhaust port. The air outlet cavity is connected to the exhaust port and the cold air cavity. The reflector and the inner pot form a hot air cavity for cooking food. The reflector is provided with a hot air outlet. The hot air cavity is connected to the air outlet cavity through the hot air outlet. In this way, the hot air and the cold air first enter the air outlet cavity, mix and cool down, and then are discharged through the exhaust port. Although this prior art reduces the temperature of the discharged hot air by mixing cold and hot air, this simple mixing method has the following problems. Part of the hot air is directly discharged through the exhaust port without being cooled by the cold air. In addition, since the mixing distance is very short, the cold air and the hot air are not fully mixed. As a result, the temperature of the air discharged from different positions of the exhaust port differs greatly, which may cause local temperature rise. SUMMARY

The hot air outlet is arranged at a middle part or a position below the middle part of the second air outlet. The axis direction of the hot air outlet is non-parallel to the axis direction of the second air outlet.

[0008] The exhaust passage is a wind guide member connected to the outer shell and the inner shell. The exhaust passage includes a tube body and a tube cover.

[0027] The pot main body 1 is the base part of the cooking device, which comprises a main body shell 11 and an inner container 12, in this embodiment, one end of the pot cover 2 is hinged on the pot main body 1 to perform opening and closing action, when the pot cover 2 is covered on the pot main body 1, the reflecting cover 5 and the inner container 12 form a cooking space, the heating body 61 is arranged in the reflecting cover 5 to heat the air in the cooking space, under the driving of the first fan blade 63, the hot air flows rapidly to form hot wind to heat the food placed in the cooking space.

[0028] Since the outer shell 3 and the inner shell 4 are arranged in a spaced manner, the first air outlet 31 and the second air outlet 41 are arranged in a spaced manner, and under the connection of the exhaust passage 7, the first air outlet 31 and the second air outlet 41 serve as the support structure of the exhaust passage 7. The hot air outlet 51 is an opening for the hot air in the cooking space to be discharged. Since the inner shell 4 and the reflector 5 are arranged in a spaced manner, the hot air outlet 51 and the second air outlet 41 are also arranged in a spaced manner. Generally, the air outlet area of the hot air outlet 51 is smaller than that of the second air outlet 41. The hot air outlet 51 is arranged at the middle or lower middle position of the second air outlet 41, and the axis direction of the hot air outlet 51 and the axis direction of the second air outlet 41 are arranged in a non-parallel manner. In this way, the hot air is blown to the second air outlet in an inclined manner, so that the hot air can directly intersect with the cold air, and the hot air reflected by the wall body around the second air outlet can also intersect with the cold air.

[0029] As shown in Figure 8 The exhaust passage 7 includes a pipe body 73 and a pipe cover 74. The pipe body 73 is in a cylindrical shape and includes a side wall 731 and a bottom wall 732. The side wall 731 connects the first air outlet 31 and the second air outlet 41. The second partition net 72 is arranged on the bottom wall 732. The pipe cover 74 is detachably connected to the opening part of the pipe body 73. The first partition net 71 is arranged on the pipe cover 74. The second partition net 72 is arranged on the bottom wall 732 close to the hot air outlet 51. The second partition net 72 blocks the flow path of the cold air and the hot air to make part of the air reflect or flow around to perform the first mixing. The first partition net 71 is arranged on the outside to block the cold air and the hot air that have not been mixed or have been mixed for the first time, so that more cold air and hot air are mixed. The advantages of this arrangement are that by arranging the first partition net 71 and the second partition net 72, the air flow passage is divided into a first mixing space 201 and a second mixing space 202. The cold air and the hot air can be mixed twice when flowing through the first mixing space 201 and the second mixing space 202, so that the cold air can absorb and diffuse the heat energy of the hot air. In this way, the temperature of the air discharged from the first partition net 71 can be effectively reduced, and the temperature of the air discharged from each position of the first partition net 71 can be basically consistent, so that the problem of local temperature rise is solved

[0030] The first and second partitioning nets 71 and 72 are mesh structures arranged at both ends of the exhaust passage 7, the first partitioning net 71 is provided with a plurality of first mesh holes 711 allowing air to pass through, and the second partitioning net 72 is provided with a plurality of second mesh holes 721 allowing air to pass through. In order to allow cold and hot air to be gradually mixed, the sum of the air passing areas of the second mesh holes 721 is greater than the sum of the air passing areas of the first mesh holes 711. Further, the second partitioning net 72 is provided with a plurality of second mesh holes 721 of different sizes, the second mesh holes 721 are arranged from top to bottom in descending order of air passing area, and the second mesh holes 721 are arranged in at least two columns, and the mesh holes in adjacent two columns are arranged in an up-down staggered manner. In this way, the cold and hot air divided into strands by the mesh holes of the second partitioning net 72 can be quickly mixed after the second mixing space 202, which not only helps to improve the mixing completeness of cold and hot air, but also improves the mixing efficiency and speed of cold and hot air.

[0031] Further technical solutions can also be that the first mesh holes 711 are in a transverse strip shape, and the first mesh holes 711 are arranged obliquely upward from inside to outside. In this way, the hot air output from the first mesh holes 711 will also be blown obliquely upward, and the cold air outside the product will be carried, especially the cold air below the first mesh holes 711 will flow upward along the outer shell 3 to the first mesh holes 711, which helps to reduce the surface temperature of the pipe cover 74.

[0032] Further technical solutions can also be that the first mesh holes 711 are in a transverse strip shape, and the first mesh holes 711 are arranged obliquely upward from inside to outside. In this way, the hot air output from the first mesh holes 711 will also be blown obliquely upward, and the cold air outside the product will be carried, especially the cold air below the first mesh holes 711 will flow upward along the outer shell 3 to the first mesh holes 711, which helps to reduce the surface temperature of the pipe cover 74.

[0033] Further technical solutions can also be that the first mesh holes 711 are in a transverse strip shape, and the first mesh holes 711 are arranged obliquely upward from inside to outside.
