Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air fryer technology, and in particular to an air fryer that is easy to disassemble and clean. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a household appliance that uses electricity to fry foods such as French fries, chicken wings, and various meats. The working principle of an air fryer is "high-speed air circulation technology." It generates hot air by heating the heating element inside the machine at high temperature, and then uses a fan to blow the hot air into the pot to heat the food. The hot air circulates in a closed space, using the food's own oils to fry the food, thereby dehydrating the food and making the surface golden and crispy, achieving the effect of frying.

[0003] Existing air fryers only have a detachable container for food that can be cleaned separately; the outer shell of the air fryer cannot be disassembled. After prolonged use, the grease from the food evaporates due to the high temperature of the air fryer and adheres to the inside of the air fryer, making it difficult to clean. Furthermore, the accumulated grease creates an unpleasant odor that bothers users. Utility Model Content

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] This embodiment mainly describes an air fryer that is easy to disassemble and clean, as follows:

[0028] An air fryer that is easy to disassemble and clean includes an upper shell 1, a lower shell 3, and a pot body 2. The pot body 2 is detachably disposed between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3. There are two handles 4 between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3. The two ends of the handles 4 are fixedly connected to the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3 by screws. There are two locking blocks 5 and a limiting block 6 on one end of the handle 4 fixed to the upper shell 1. A gap is formed between the locking blocks 5 and the limiting block 6, and the upper shell 1 is detachably embedded in the gap.

[0029] The upper housing 1 is equipped with a motor 7 and a heating module. A mounting bracket 8 is provided between the motor 7 and the heating module. A positioning block protrudes from the inner wall of the upper housing 1 and abuts against the mounting bracket 8. The mounting bracket 8 and the positioning block are fixedly connected by screws.

[0030] The heating module includes a housing 24 and a heating fan 12. A mounting bracket 8 has a positioning hole, and the housing 24 has a first through hole 27. A motor 7 has a rotating shaft 9, which passes through the positioning hole and the first through hole 27 and extends into the housing 24. A fixing block 10 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 9 extending into the housing 24. The fixing block 10 and the end of the rotating shaft 9 are fixedly connected by threads. A cooling fan 11 is provided between the mounting bracket 8 and the housing 24. The heating fan 12 is installed inside the housing 24. The cooling fan 11 and the heating fan 12... All fans 12 are mounted on the rotating shaft 9 and rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 9. Specifically, the rotating shaft 9 is provided with a positioning protrusion 30. One end of the positioning protrusion 30 is provided with a boss. The cooling fan 11 is nested on the boss through an interference fit and is fixedly connected to the boss. The heating fan 12 is located at the other end of the positioning protrusion 30. One side of the heating fan 12 abuts against the positioning protrusion 30, and the other side abuts against the fixing block 10. The fixing block 10 fixes the heating fan 12 on the rotating shaft 9 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 9.

[0031] The blades of the cooling fan 11 are arranged in an L-shape, and the blades of the heating fan 12 are arranged symmetrically with the blades of the cooling fan 11, so that the two fans rotating synchronously on the same shaft 9 play different roles.

[0032] The cover 24 is equipped with a heating tube 13, which is arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the cover 24 to facilitate efficient and even heating of the food. Specifically, the inner wall of the cover 24 is provided with a number of mounting buckles 16. Preferably, there are three mounting buckles 16, which are evenly arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the cover 24. One end of the mounting buckle 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the cover 24 by a screw, and the other end of the mounting buckle 16 is fastened around the heating tube 13.

[0033] The heating element 13 generates heat energy by being powered by a power source to heat the food inside the pot body 2. The heating element 13 has a connector 15 at both ends, and the connector 15 is connected to an electric wire. Specifically, the cover 24 has a second through hole 28, through which the electric wire passes and extends into the cover 24. One end of the electric wire extending into the cover 24 is provided with a connector 14, and the connector 15 at the end of the heating element 13 is inserted into the connector 14, so that the heating element 13 can be powered and heated.

[0034] The edge of the cover 24 is provided with an outwardly extending convex surface 23. The upper shell 1 is provided with a downwardly protruding first step 21. The convex edge 31 is provided with an upwardly protruding second step 22. The first step 21 and the second step 22 are staggered. The convex surface 23 is located between the first step 21 and the second step 22 and abuts against the first step 21 and the second step 22 at the same time, so that the first step 21 and the second step 22 limit the convex surface 23 in the radial and axial directions, so that the convex surface 23 is fixed between the convex edge 31 and the upper shell 1.

[0035] The cover 24 is provided with a third through hole 29, and the upper housing 1 is provided with a positioning post 26. The positioning post 26 passes through the third through hole 29 and extends into the cover 24 to prevent the cover 24 from rotating inside the upper housing 1.

[0036] The edge of the upper housing 1 is provided with several notches 20, and the edge of the protruding edge 31 is provided with several buckles 17. The number of buckles 17 is the same as the number of notches 20. Preferably, the number of buckles 17 and notches 20 is four. The four buckles 17 are evenly distributed on the edge of the protruding edge 31, and the four notches 20 are evenly distributed on the edge of the upper housing 1. The corresponding positions of the protruding edge 31 and the notches 20 are provided with lock holes 18. The buckles 17 are provided with lock tongues 19. When the buckles 17 are fastened to the edge of the upper housing 1, the lock tongues 19 are engaged in the lock holes 18 to fix the protruding edge 31 and the upper housing 1.

[0037] An exhaust port 25 is provided on the protruding edge 31. The exhaust port 25 is connected to the cooling fan 11. When the air fryer is running, the cooling fan 11 removes the heat from the motor 7 from the exhaust port 25, thereby reducing the temperature of the motor 7 and ensuring that the motor 7 will not overheat and be damaged.

[0038] In summary, when the grease adhering to the cover 24 needs to be cleaned by the user, first pull the pot body 2 out from between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3. After pulling it out, take out the upper shell 1 that is clipped to the handle 4. After taking it out, the user rotates to remove the fixing block 10 that is threaded to the end of the rotating shaft 9. After removing the fixing block 10, the heating fan 12 can be removed. After removing the heating fan 12, pull the connector 15 at the end of the heating tube 13 out of the plug 14 at the end of the wire. After the heating fan 12 and the heating tube 13 are disconnected from the upper shell 1, open the buckle 17 that is fastened to the edge of the upper shell 1 by the protrusion 31. Take out the protrusion 31 and the cover 24 for cleaning.
