[0022] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a novel integrated steam-fry air fryer includes, from bottom to top along its height, a detachable heating base 1, an oil receiving tray 2, a frying cage 3, and a lid 4. The heating base 1 includes a heating cavity 11 and a connecting cavity 12 disposed at the upper end of the heating cavity 11. A heating element is disposed within the heating cavity 11. The bottom plate of the connecting cavity 12 has ventilation holes. A support member 13 is disposed within the connecting cavity 12. The support member 13 includes a support shaft 131 fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the connecting cavity 12 and a support plate 132 disposed at the upper end of the support shaft 131. A ventilation hole 1321 is disposed at the center of the support plate 132. An oil receiving tray 2 is placed on the upper end of the support plate 132. The oil receiving tray 2 includes an oil receiving tray ventilation hole 21, an inner annular oil receiving cavity 22, an outer annular oil receiving cavity 23, and an annular support plate 24 arranged coaxially from the center to the outer end. A frying basket 3 with a top opening is placed on the upper end of the annular support plate 24. An annular protrusion 1322 is provided in the center of the support plate 132 surrounding the support plate ventilation hole 1321. An annular groove 26 adapted to the annular protrusion 1322 is provided at the lower end of the connecting wall between the inner annular oil receiving cavity 22 and the outer annular oil receiving cavity 23. The inner annular oil receiving cavity 22 is located directly above the support plate ventilation hole 1321.
[0025] The multi-functional design of the oil receiving tray 2 allows it to not only collect oil but also provide steam heating by placing water inside. The inner annular oil receiving cavity 22 is located directly above the ventilation hole 1321 of the support plate, allowing hot air generated by the heating chamber 11 to directly pass through the ventilation hole 1321 to heat the bottom and inner wall of the inner annular oil receiving cavity 22, thus improving heating efficiency, increasing the speed of water heating, and enhancing evaporation efficiency.
[0026] The structure of the annular groove 26 and the annular protrusion 1322 can also be used to limit the oil pan 2, prevent vibration, and improve safety.
[0027] In this embodiment, the height of the connecting wall between the inner annular oil receiving cavity 22 and the outer annular oil receiving cavity 23 is lower than the outer wall of the outer annular oil receiving cavity 23. This structure allows heat transfer between the two cavities, improving evaporation efficiency. This design enables faster water heating and increases steam generation, thus accelerating the cooking process.
[0028] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the annular support plate 24 is provided with an annular surrounding plate 25 adapted to the frying cage 3, which is used to limit the frying cage 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, a gap exists between the side wall of the connecting cavity 12 and the side wall of the heating cavity 11, allowing heating air to circulate and thus heating the food and steam areas inside the fryer more evenly. This airflow design effectively avoids localized heat concentration, making overall heating more efficient.
[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom and side walls of the fryer cage 3 are provided with fryer cage ventilation holes 31, which can enhance the flow of hot air, ensure uniform heating and air circulation when frying food, and achieve better frying results.
[0031] In this embodiment, an external ventilation port 5 is provided at the rear end of the heating cavity 11 to further promote the circulation and exhaust of hot air and avoid the risk of overheating or excessive air pressure.
[0032] In this embodiment, the top of the side wall of the heating cavity 11 is engaged with the bottom of the side wall of the visual pot lid 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, the pot lid 4 is a visual pot lid, which allows users to observe the cooking process of the food. This design not only makes it easier to control the degree of cooking, but also increases the technological feel of the product and the user experience.
[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
