Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer, a kitchen appliance based on hot air circulation, crisps the surface of food through high-temperature air circulation, achieving a "frying" effect without the need for large amounts of oil, and is therefore widely used in healthy eating.

[0003] Conventional air fryers contain a heating element within their main body, which includes a motor, fan blades, and heating wire. When the motor starts, it drives the fan blades to rotate, generating airflow. The heating wire then generates heat, creating a high-temperature airflow. Since the heating element is a consumable part, it may fail after a period of use. When a heating element malfunctions, the main body needs to be disassembled for repair, which is cumbersome and makes maintenance difficult for users. Therefore, there is room for improvement.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an air fryer includes a main body 1 and a pot body 2. A cooking cavity 11 is provided on the lower front side of the main body 1. The pot body 2 is inserted into the cooking cavity 11. An mounting groove 12, a heating element 3, and a locking element 4 are provided on the upper end of the main body 1. The bottom of the mounting groove 12 is connected to the cooking cavity 11. The heating element 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 12 and locked to the main body 1 by the locking element 4. The bottom of the mounting groove 12 has an opening, through which the mounting groove 12 is connected to the cooking cavity 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, the heating component 3 includes a housing 31. A first air duct 311 is provided on the rear side of the housing 31, and a second air duct 312 is provided on the lower end face of the housing 31. The second air duct 312 is connected to the cooking cavity 11. A motor (not shown in the figure), a fan blade (not shown in the figure), and a heating wire (not shown in the figure) are arranged from top to bottom inside the housing 31. The rotation shaft of the motor is connected to the fan blade, and the heating wire is located between the fan blade and the second air duct 312. A third air duct 15 connected to the first air duct 311 is provided on the rear side of the main body 1. The second air duct 312 corresponds to the opening. The cooking cavity 11 is connected to the outside air through the second air duct 312, the first air duct 311, and the third air duct to achieve air circulation. The motor, fan blade, and heating wire are conventional technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Example 2: Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that the upper end face of the main body 1 is provided with a groove 13, one side of the groove 13 is provided with a first through hole 131 that communicates with the outer side of the main body 1, the other side of the groove 13 is provided with a second through hole 132 that communicates with the mounting groove 12, and the outer side of the housing 31 is provided with a slot 313. The first through hole 131, the second through hole 132 and the slot 313 are located on the same axis.

[0030] In this embodiment, the locking component 4 includes a pin 41 and a compression spring 42. One end of the pin 41 passes through the first through hole 131, the groove 13, and the second through hole 132 in sequence before being inserted into the slot 313. A fixing plate 43 is provided on the outer side of the pin 41, and the fixing plate 43 is located in the groove 13. The compression spring 42 is sleeved on the pin 41 and located between the first through hole 131 and the fixing plate 43. A first handle 44 is fixedly provided on the other end of the pin 41. When the pin 41 is inserted into the slot 313, the compression spring 42 is not compressed. When the pin 41 moves outward and separates from the slot 313, the compression spring 42 is compressed and generates a rebound force. It can be seen that the locking purpose is achieved by the pin 41, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate. The setting of the compression spring 42 helps to improve the stability during locking.

[0031] In this embodiment, a slider 431 is fixedly provided on the side of the fixing plate 43, and a groove 133 extending laterally is provided on the side of the groove 13. The slider 431 and the groove 133 slide in cooperation, which helps to improve the stability of the structure.

[0032] Example 3: Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 2. The difference is that two slots 411 distributed along the axial direction are provided on the outer side of the pin 41, and a rotating rod 14 is provided on the outer side of the main body 1. The rotating rod 14 is engaged with one of the slots 411 or separated from the slot 411. When the rotating rod 14 is engaged with the slot 411, it can play a locking role.

[0033] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the main body 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 14 is fixedly provided with a second handle 141. The middle part of the rotating rod 14 is used to engage with the slot 411.

[0034] When the pin 41 is inserted into the slot 313, the compression spring 42 is not compressed, and the rotating rod 14 can engage with one slot 411 to improve the stability of the structure. When the pin 41 moves outward and separates from the slot 313, the compression spring 42 is compressed and generates a rebound force, and the rotating rod 14 can engage with another slot 411 to make the locking member 4 in the unlocked state, which makes it convenient for the user to take out and put in the heating component 3.

[0035] Example 4: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the lower edge of the outer side of the housing 31 is recessed inward to form a step 314. A sealing ring 315 is fitted at the step 314. The housing 31 and the mounting groove 12 are sealed together by the sealing ring 315 to ensure the sealing effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the housing 31 is provided with two handles 5 that are symmetrically distributed from left to right. Specifically, the handles 5 include a long plate 51, a horizontal plate 52 and a short plate 53. The lower end of the long plate 51 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 31. The upper ends of the long plate 51 and the upper ends of the short plate 53 correspond to and are fixedly connected to the two ends of the horizontal plate 52. The long plate 51, the horizontal plate 52 and the short plate 53 cooperate to form an inverted U shape, which can better fit the user's hand shape, provide a more comfortable grip experience, and facilitate lifting the heating component 3.

[0037] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
