Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a machine that uses air to "fry" food. It mainly uses air to replace the hot oil in a frying pan, cooking the food while the hot air blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, giving the ingredients an effect similar to deep-frying. Air fryers are generally equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet. Outside air is drawn in through the air inlet, heated by the heating element, and then enters the cooking chamber. Most existing air fryers have their air outlets directly connected to the cooking chamber. The hot air circulates once in the cooking chamber and is then led out through the air outlet. The residence time is too short, resulting in low cooking efficiency and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing air fryers, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air fryer with higher cooking efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical measures: an air fryer, comprising: a cooking cavity, a display and control assembly above the cooking cavity, the display and control assembly including a display and control frame, the display and control frame being connected to and covering the cooking cavity above the cooking cavity, a base at the bottom of the cooking cavity, the base having an air inlet hole, a vent I on the inner wall of the cooking cavity, an air duct connected to the outside of the vent I, with air entering at the bottom and exiting at the top, a vent II at the contact point between the display and control frame and the air duct, a heating assembly inside the air duct for heating the air, a pull-out basket assembly inside the cooking cavity, the cooking cavity and the pull-out basket assembly being fastened together, the pull-out basket assembly including a pull-out basket, the pull-out basket having a ventilation net corresponding to the vent I, a handle fixed to the outside of the pull-out basket, a baking tray placed inside the pull-out basket, and a stop component at the position corresponding to the ventilation net on the baking tray.

[0005] Furthermore, the air inlets are evenly distributed on the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the stop component is a baffle, the baking tray and the baffle are integrally formed, a gap is left between the baffle and the ventilation net, and the baffle plays a role in shielding the ventilation net. A connecting plate is fixed to the side of the pull basket near the handle, and the handle passes through the connecting plate and is bolted to the pull basket.

[0007] Furthermore, the display and control assembly also includes a display and control screen, which is located above the display and control frame. The display and control screen is located on the top of the display and control frame. A ventilation opening II is opened on the rear side of the display and control frame. Supports are fixed at both ends of the display and control frame. A display controller and a circuit board are located on the top of the support. A digital screen is located at the bottom of the display controller. The digital screen projects light onto the display and control screen for display. A display and control board is fastened and fixed at the top of the display and control frame. The display and control board controls the operation of the circuit board. The connecting plate of the pull-out basket assembly, the display and control board of the display and control assembly, and the display and control screen are all made of transparent material.

[0008] Furthermore, the air duct is C-shaped with openings at both ends. The heating assembly includes a fan and a heating tube. The fan is located at the bottom of the air duct and draws air in through the vent I of the cooking cavity. The heating tube is located at the top of the air duct. An air outlet I is opened on one side of the air duct. An air duct bracket is fastened and fixed inside the air duct. An opening is made on the outside of the air duct bracket at a position corresponding to the air outlet I. An outer shell is fixed outside the air duct bracket. The top and bottom ends of the outer shell abut against the display control board and the base, respectively. An opening is made on the outside of the outer shell at a position corresponding to the air outlet.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the baffle of the baking tray allows hot air to stay in the cooking cavity for a longer time, which is conducive to cooking food quickly and improving cooking efficiency; the heating component allows the hot air discharged from the cooking cavity to re-enter the cooking cavity after being circulated through the air duct, reducing the energy consumption of the air fryer; the transparent design of the display board, display screen, and connecting plate, as well as the cooking temperature and time projected on the display screen, make it easier for users to observe the cooking status of the food in the air fryer, so as to cook more delicious food.

[0018] The air inlets 5 are evenly distributed on the base 4.

[0019] The stop component 9 is a baffle, and the baking tray 8 is integrally formed with the baffle. There is a gap between the baffle and the ventilation net 13, and the baffle acts as a shield for the ventilation net 13. The pull basket 12 is fixed with a connecting plate 10 on the side near the handle 11. The handle 11 passes through the connecting plate 10 and is bolted to the pull basket 12.

[0020] The display and control assembly 2 also includes a display and control screen 19, which is located above the display and control frame 20. The display and control frame 20 has a display and control screen 19 on its top and a ventilation opening II 21 on its rear side. The display and control frame 20 has brackets 18 fixed at both ends. The top of the brackets 18 has a display controller 16 and a circuit board 17. The bottom of the display controller 16 has a digital screen that projects light onto the display and control screen 19. The top of the display and control frame 20 has a display and control board 15 fastened and fixed. The display and control board 15 controls the operation of the circuit board 17. The connecting plate 10 of the pull-out basket assembly 1, the display and control board 15 of the display and control assembly 2, and the display and control screen 19 are all made of transparent glass.

[0021] The air duct 7 is C-shaped with openings at both ends. The heating component 24 includes a fan 26 and a heating tube 25. The fan 26 is located at the bottom of the air duct 7 and draws air in through the vent I14 of the cooking cavity 6. The heating tube 25 is located at the top of the air duct 7. An air outlet I22 is opened on one side of the air duct 7. An air duct bracket 23 is fastened and fixed inside the air duct 7. An opening is made on the outside of the air duct bracket 23 at a position corresponding to the air outlet I22. An outer shell 3 is fixed outside the air duct bracket 23.

An opening is made on the outside of the outer shell 3 at a position corresponding to the air outlet.

[0022] This utility model discloses an air fryer that controls the operation of the circuit board 17 via the control panel 15. The circuit board 17 turns on the air fryer, and the digital screen on the display controller 16 projects the set cooking temperature and time onto the display screen 19. The fan 26 rotates, and outside air enters the air fryer through the air inlet 5, is heated by the heating component 24, and then enters the cooking chamber 6 to cook the food. Because the baffle blocks the ventilation net 13, the hot air will stay in the cooking chamber 6 for a long time until the hot air fills the entire cooking chamber 6. Then, under the action of the fan 26, the hot air in the cooking chamber 6 will flow out through the gap between the baffle and the ventilation net 13 and re-enter the air duct 7 for circulation. When the air fryer is full of hot air, the excess hot air will be discharged from the air fryer through the air outlet I 22.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
