[0045] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0046] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0047] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application embodiment proposes an air fryer, including: an air fryer body 110, in which a cooking cavity 111 is formed; and a cleaning component 120 connected to the air fryer body 110, the cleaning component 120 including a plurality of nozzles 121, the output direction of the nozzles 121 being toward the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, and at least two of the plurality of nozzles 121 having different output directions.

[0049] The air fryer provided in this embodiment includes an air fryer body 110 and a cleaning component 120. The cleaning component 120 includes multiple nozzles 121, the output direction of which is directed toward the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111, and at least two of the multiple nozzles 121 have different output directions. Therefore, when the air fryer finishes cooking and the cooking chamber 111 needs cleaning, a cleaning medium can be output to the cooking chamber 111 through the nozzles 121. The arrangement of multiple nozzles 121, combined with the different output directions of at least two of the multiple nozzles 121, allows the cleaning medium output by the cleaning component 120 to spray the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 in all directions. This increases the coverage area of ​​the cleaning medium on the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111, especially enabling the spraying of cleaning medium into the dead corners, narrow spaces, and hidden areas of the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111. This effectively cleans the cooking chamber 111, reduces manual labor, makes the air fryer cleaner, and makes its use healthier.

[0050] It is understandable that at least two of the multiple nozzles 121 have different output directions. This could mean that all the nozzles 121 have different output directions, or that some of the nozzles 121 have the same spray direction, while others have different output directions.

[0051] It is understandable that the type of medium output by nozzle 121 can be mist or small water droplets, which makes the medium output by nozzle 121 more concentrated and can further improve the cleaning effect.

[0052] In some examples, the number of nozzles 121 can be 6 to 10.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a plurality of nozzles 121 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111; wherein the angle of the output direction of the nozzles 121 is adjustable.

[0054] In this technical solution, a plurality of nozzles 121 are arranged in a manner that is uniformly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111. Based on this, when the nozzles 121 are turned on, the cleaning medium output through the nozzles 121 can better cover the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111, and can further cover the dead corners of the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0055] In this technical solution, the output direction angle of nozzle 121 is adjustable. Based on this, during the product design and manufacturing stages, the manufacturer can adjust the output direction of nozzle 121. By adjusting the output direction of multiple nozzles 121 or each nozzle 121, the cleaning medium output through multiple nozzles 121 can better cover the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. Simultaneously, when the air fryer is used by the user, the user can also adjust the angle of nozzle 121 according to the condition of the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. For example, adjusting the angle of nozzle 121 so that the output direction of nozzle 121 is directed towards the area where oil and grease accumulates can further improve the cleaning effect. The adjustable output direction of nozzle 121 gives the cleaning component 120 a certain degree of freedom in its operation, meeting the user's personalized needs and making the cleaning more adaptable to the user's actual usage scenario.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning assembly 120 further includes a mounting base 122 disposed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, and the nozzle 121 hinged to the mounting base 122.

[0057] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 120 may also include a fixed base 122, and the nozzle 121 is hinged to the fixed base 122. Based on this, the angle of the output direction of the nozzle 121 can be adjusted by rotating the nozzle 121, so that the angle of the nozzle 121 can be adjusted, and the cleaning medium sprayed through the nozzle 121 can better cover the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111.

[0058] It is understandable that by hinged to the nozzle 121 via the mounting base 122, the mounting base 122 can also serve to seal the nozzle 121, thereby reducing or eliminating liquid leakage.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning component 120 further includes a housing 124 disposed within the air fryer body 110, and a plurality of nozzles 121 connected to the housing 124.

[0060] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 120 also includes a housing 124, which can store the cleaning liquid. When cleaning is required, the passage between the housing 124 and the nozzle 121 can be opened, so that the nozzle 121 sprays out the cleaning liquid.

[0061] It is understandable that the housing 124 can be used to store clean water or a mixture of clean water and cleaning solution.

[0062] like Figure 3As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning component 120 further includes: a first housing 1241 and a second housing 1242, the first housing 1241 and the second housing 1242 being arranged inside the air fryer body 110; and an infusion tube 125, the infusion tube 125 connecting the first housing 1241 to the nozzle 121 and connecting the second housing 1242 to the nozzle 121.

[0063] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 120 may further include a first housing 1241 and a second housing 1242. The first housing 1241 can be used to store clean water, while the second housing 1242 can be used to store cleaning medium. Both the first housing 1241 and the second housing 1242 can be connected to the nozzle 121 through the infusion tube 125. Based on this, when cleaning the inner wall of the air fryer through the cleaning component 120, the passage between the second housing 1242 and the nozzle 121 can be opened first, and the cleaning medium can be output through the nozzle 121. The cleaning medium can cover the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, and then the cleaning medium can clean the oil stains on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. After that, the first housing 1241 and the nozzle 121 can be opened again, so that the nozzle 121 sprays clean water. The clean water can rinse the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. The clean water, along with the cleaning medium and dirt, will flow down through the inner wall, thus completing the cleaning of the cooking cavity 111 of the air fryer.

[0064] It is understandable that by setting up the first housing 1241 and the second housing 1242, the cleaning medium and clean water can be stored separately, which can improve the cleaning effect. In some examples, in order to simplify the structure of the air fryer, the housing component 124 may also include only one housing.

[0065] In some examples, the infusion tubing 125 may be made of metal or resin material.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cleaning assembly 120 further includes an anti-clogging member 126, which is disposed within the infusion tube 125; wherein the aperture of the filter holes on the anti-clogging member 126 is 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm; and wherein the aperture of the output end of the nozzle 121 is larger than the aperture of the anti-clogging member 126.

[0067] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 120 may also include an anti-clogging component 126. By arranging the anti-clogging component 126 inside the infusion tube 125, the probability of the nozzle 121 being blocked can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the cleaning component 120.

[0068] In this technical solution, by selecting the aperture of the filter hole on the anti-clogging component 126 from 0.3mm to 0.7mm, most impurities can be filtered out. In addition, the aperture of the output end of the nozzle 121 is larger than the aperture of the anti-clogging component 126, so that the nozzle 121 can be prevented from being blocked.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the anti-clogging component 126 may include a filter screen disposed within the infusion tube 125, which may be disposed at the connection between the infusion tube 125 and the first housing 1241, the connection between the infusion tube 125 and the second housing 1242, and the connection between the infusion tube 125 and the nozzle 121.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the cleaning assembly 120 further includes a control device for controlling the first housing 1241 or the second housing 1242 to be connected to the nozzle 121.

[0071] In this technical solution, the cleaning component 120 may further include a control device. The control device controls the connection between the first housing 1241 or the second housing 1242 and the nozzle 121. Based on this, when cleaning the interior of the cooking cavity 111 using the cleaning component 120, the control device first controls the connection between the second housing 1242 and the nozzle 121, allowing the nozzle 121 to output cleaning medium. This cleaning medium covers the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, cleaning the oil stains on the inner wall. Then, the first housing 1241 and the nozzle 121 are connected, causing the nozzle 121 to spray water. This water rinses the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, and the water, along with the cleaning medium and dirt, flows down the inner wall, thus completing the cleaning of the air fryer's cooking cavity 111. This design makes the self-cleaning of the air fryer's cooking cavity 111 more convenient and further reduces manual intervention.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the cleaning assembly 120 may also include a solenoid valve 127 for controlling the connection between the first housing 1241 or the second housing 1242 and the nozzle 121, and the control device is connected to the solenoid valve 127.

[0073] In some examples, the cleaning medium stored in the first housing 1241 may include a citric acid solution with a concentration of 10% to 25%, which can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning medium on oil stains and make the air fryer cleaner.

[0074] In some examples, a pump body may also be arranged within the first housing 1241 and the second housing 1242 to improve the efficiency of the supply of cleaning media.

[0075] In one feasible implementation, the number of nozzles 121 is 6 to 10. With this arrangement, by selecting 6 to 10 nozzles 121, the cleaning medium can more comprehensively cover the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0076] In one feasible embodiment, the angle between the output direction of nozzle 121 and the mounting surface of nozzle 121 is 30° to 60°. This setting, by selecting an angle of 30° to 60°, allows the cleaning medium output through nozzle 121 to be sprayed tangentially onto the inner wall of cooking cavity 111, further improving the uniformity of the cleaning medium on the inner wall of cooking cavity 111. This better covers dead corners, narrow spaces, and hidden areas on the inner wall of cooking cavity 111, further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the air fryer further includes a liquid collection tank 130, which is arranged at the bottom of the air fryer body 110 to receive cleaning medium flowing down through the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111.

[0078] In this technical solution, considering that the cleaning component 120 cleans the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, waste liquid will be generated during the cleaning process. Based on this, a liquid collection tank 130 is arranged at the bottom of the air fryer body 110. The waste liquid can be collected through the liquid collection tank 130. After cleaning the air fryer, the user can remove the liquid collection tank 130 through the air fryer body 110, pour out the waste liquid in the liquid collection tank 130, and finally reassemble the liquid collection tank 130 to complete the treatment of waste liquid, making the use of the air fryer more convenient, the air fryer cleaner, and the cooking of food more hygienic.

[0079] In some examples, the collection tank 130 may be made of resin or metal.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a guide 112 is formed on the air fryer body 110, and the liquid collection tank 130 is slidably connected to the air fryer body 110 through the guide 112.

[0081] In this technical solution, to facilitate the assembly of the liquid collection tank 130, a guide member 112 can be formed on the air fryer body 110. Based on this, the liquid collection tank 130 can be guided by the guide member 112 during assembly and disassembly. During the disassembly of the liquid collection tank 130 via the air fryer body 110, the guide member 112 makes the movement of the liquid collection tank 130 more stable, reduces the probability of waste liquid overflow, and makes the air fryer cleaner. During the assembly of the liquid collection tank 130, it can facilitate the quick assembly of the liquid collection tank 130, making the use of the air fryer more convenient.

[0082] In some examples, the style of guide 112 includes, but is not limited to, guide grooves and guide ribs.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the air fryer further includes a draining component 113, which is arranged on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111 for draining waste liquid.

[0084] In this technical solution, the structure of the air fryer is further provided. A draining device 113 can be provided on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. The draining device 113 facilitates the drainage of waste liquid into the collection tank 130, which facilitates the collection of waste liquid and reduces the amount of waste liquid remaining on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111. This makes the air fryer cleaner and further reduces the amount of cleaning work for the user.

[0085] In some examples, the draining device 113 includes, but is not limited to, draining pipes and / or draining channels. During use, after cleaning the inner wall of the cooking device, the waste liquid can flow into the collection tank 130 by gravity through the draining pipes and / or draining channels. Alternatively, external force can be used, such as wiping the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111 with a cleaning tool like a rag, so that the waste liquid can be collected in the collection tank 130 through the draining device 113.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the air fryer further includes a cooking container 140, which is detachably connected to the air fryer body 110 and is disposed within the cooking chamber 111.

[0087] In this technical solution, the air fryer may also include a cooking container 140. Based on this, when cooking in the air fryer, the food can be placed in the cooking container 140 and then the cooking container 140 is placed in the cooking cavity 111. The food can then be cooked by the air fryer body 110.

[0088] Understandably, for cleaning the cooking container 140, since it is detachably connected to the air fryer body 110, the user can remove the cooking container 140 and then clean it, making cleaning the cooking container 140 relatively convenient. Alternatively, the cooking container 140 can be placed inside the cooking chamber 111, and cleaning media can be output through the nozzle 121, with some of the cleaning media also sprayed into the cooking container 140. The user can then clean the cooking container 140, which also improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0089] It is understandable that the air fryer body 110 may also include a fan and a heat pipe. The airflow generated by the fan is supplied to the cooking chamber 111 after passing through the heat pipe, so that the food in the cooking chamber 111 can be heated and cooked.

[0090] Example 1

[0091] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air fryer, including an air fryer body 110, a cleaning component 120, and a liquid collection tank 130.

[0092] The cleaning assembly 120 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 of the air fryer body, and includes six nozzles 121 and a liquid delivery tube 125 connected to the nozzles 121. The nozzles 121 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 and the spray angle can be adjusted to ensure that the sprayed cleaning liquid can cover all parts of the inner wall. The liquid delivery tube 125 is provided with a filter mesh anti-clogging component 126 to prevent the cleaning liquid from clogging during delivery.

[0093] The cleaning assembly 120 also includes a second tank 1242 for storing clean water and a first tank 1241 for storing cleaning fluid, both of which are connected to the infusion tube 125 via a solenoid valve 127 and a hose. The control device is electrically connected to the nozzle 121 and can control the nozzle 121 to spray cleaning fluid or clean water.

[0094] During the use of this air fryer, after use, the control device first controls nozzle 121 to spray cleaning liquid onto the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111. The cleaning liquid can be a 10% citric acid solution, appearing as a mist of small water droplets. When it adheres to the inner wall, it comes into contact with the grease and undergoes a chemical reaction to decompose the grease. Afterwards, the control device controls nozzle 121 to spray clean water to rinse away any remaining cleaning liquid and decomposed grease from the inner wall, achieving a thorough cleaning.

[0095] The liquid collection tank 130 is located at the bottom of the air fryer body 110. A guide 113 is provided on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 111, and the decomposed oily waste liquid flows into the liquid collection tank 130 along with the guide 113. The liquid collection tank 130 can be separated from the air fryer body 110 by dragging it, which facilitates the centralized treatment of the collected waste liquid.

[0096] Example 2

[0097] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air fryer, including an air fryer body 110, a cleaning component 120, and a liquid collection tank 130.

[0098] The cleaning component 120 includes eight nozzles 121 disposed on the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 of the air fryer body 110, a stainless steel infusion tube 125, and a polyurethane cleaning liquid delivery pipeline connected to the nozzles 121. The nozzles 121 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 and the spray angle can be adjusted from 30° to 60° to ensure that the sprayed cleaning liquid covers all parts of the inner wall. The infusion tube 125 is equipped with a wire mesh anti-clogging element 126 with a 0.5mm orifice diameter to prevent clogging of the cleaning liquid during delivery.

[0099] The cleaning assembly 120 also includes a second tank 1242 for storing clean water and a first tank 1241 for storing cleaning fluid, both of which are connected to the infusion tube 125 via a solenoid valve 127 and a hose. The control device includes an ARM chip controller, which is electrically connected to the nozzle 121 and can control the nozzle 121 to spray cleaning fluid or clean water.

[0100] During the use of this air fryer, after use, the control device first controls nozzle 121 to spray cleaning solution onto the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111. The cleaning solution is a 15%–25% (by weight) citric acid solution, appearing as a mist of small water droplets. When it adheres to the inner wall, it comes into contact with the grease and undergoes a chemical reaction to decompose the grease. Afterwards, the controller controls nozzle 121 to spray clean water to rinse away any remaining cleaning solution and decomposed grease from the inner wall, achieving a thorough cleaning.

[0101] The liquid collection tank 130 is located at the bottom of the air fryer body 110. The liquid collection tank 130 is made of plastic material, and the decomposed oily waste liquid flows into the liquid collection tank 130 along with the guide component 113. The liquid collection tank 130 can be separated from the machine body by dragging it, which facilitates the centralized treatment of the collected waste liquid.

[0102] Example 3

[0103] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air fryer, including an air fryer body 110, a cleaning component 120, and a liquid collection tank 130.

[0104] The cleaning component 120 includes 10 nozzles 121 disposed on the inner wall of the air fryer cooking chamber 111, a liquid delivery tube 125, and a polyurethane cleaning liquid delivery pipeline connected to the nozzles 121. The nozzles 121 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111 and can be adjusted at a spray angle of 45° to ensure that the sprayed cleaning liquid covers all parts of the inner wall. The cleaning liquid delivery pipeline is equipped with a wire mesh anti-clogging element 126 with an aperture of 0.3mm to 0.7mm to prevent clogging of the cleaning liquid during delivery.

[0105] The cleaning assembly 120 also includes a second tank 1242 for storing clean water and a first tank 1241 for storing cleaning fluid, both of which are connected to the infusion tube 125 via a solenoid valve 127 and a hose. The control device includes a 32-bit ARM chip controller, which is electrically connected to the nozzle 121 and can control the nozzle 121 to spray cleaning fluid or clean water.

[0106] During the use of this air fryer, after use, the control device first controls nozzle 121 to spray cleaning liquid onto the inner wall of the cooking chamber 111. The cleaning liquid is a 20% by weight citric acid solution, appearing as a mist of small water droplets. When it adheres to the inner wall, it comes into contact with the grease and undergoes a chemical reaction to decompose the grease.
