The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] This utility model provides an air fryer 10, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a main body 100, a frying bucket 200, a heating component 300, and a fan component 400. The main body 100 has a heating chamber 101. The frying bucket 200 is detachably housed in the heating chamber 101. The frying bucket 200 includes a cooking cavity 201 with an opening at the top, which is used to hold food.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the heating assembly 300 is located inside the main body 100 and above the heating chamber 101. The heating assembly 300 includes a heater 310 and an air guide shroud 320. The air guide shroud 320 has a ventilation cavity 321, an upper cover 322, and a lower cover 323. The ventilation cavity 321 is located between the upper cover 322 and the lower cover 323, and the heater 310 is located inside the ventilation cavity 321. When the frying bucket 200 is installed in the heating chamber 101, the lower cover 323 covers the cooking chamber 201.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fan assembly 400 is located inside the main body 100. The fan assembly 400 includes a drive motor 410 and a hot air blade 420. The hot air blade 420 is installed in the ventilation cavity 321 and located above the heater 310.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower cover 323 is provided with an air inlet channel 301 and an air outlet channel 302, both of which communicate with the heating chamber 201. In this embodiment, the air inlet channel 301 is located at the periphery of the lower cover 323, and the air outlet channel 301 is located in the center of the lower cover 323. During operation, the hot air blades 420 drive the air flow in the ventilation chamber 321. The airflow enters the cooking chamber through the air inlet channel 301, heats the food, and then exits the cooking chamber 201 through the air outlet channel 302.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower cover 323 has an upwardly convex arc-shaped cross-section, and the air inlet channel 301 is a hollow structure composed of multiple air holes. The upper cover 322 also has an upwardly convex arc-shaped cross-section, and the upper cover 322 has a through hole 3221, which is used to connect the ventilation cavity 321 with the interior of the main body 100. The fan assembly 400 passes through the through hole.

[0037] In this embodiment, the main body 100 is provided with an air inlet 110 and an exhaust pipe 120 (e.g., ...). Figure 3As shown in the figure, the air inlet 110 is located at the top of the main body 100, and the exhaust pipe 120 is located on the side of the main body 100, and the exhaust pipe 120 is connected to the exhaust channel 301. Preferably, the main body 100 is provided with a controller (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the drive motor 410 and the heater 310. The controller changes the airflow speed in the ventilation cavity 321 by adjusting the speed of the drive motor 410.

[0038] The working principle of the air fryer 10 of this utility model will be explained below with reference to this embodiment:

[0039] First, the user puts the food into the cooking chamber 201 of the fryer bucket 200, and then installs the fryer bucket 200 into the heating chamber 101. At this time, the air guide hood 320 is placed on top of the fryer bucket 200, so that the cooking chamber 201 forms a relatively sealed space.

[0040] Subsequently, the air fryer 10 is activated, and the heater 310 generates high temperature, which in turn heats the gas in the ventilation chamber 321. Simultaneously, the drive motor 410 rotates the hot air fan blades 420, causing the gas in the ventilation chamber 321 to flow. The airflow flows from the through-hole 3221 to the air inlet channel 301. The flowing air carries heat into the cooking chamber 201, heating the food and dehydrating its surface to create a fried-like texture. During use, the flow rate of the hot air in the fryer drum 200 can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the drive motor 410, along with adjusting the power and heating time of the heater 310, to suit the cooking requirements of different ingredients.

[0041] The airflow direction within the cooking cavity 201 is as follows Figure 7 As shown. Specifically, the airflow enters through the air inlet channel 301 and blows downwards along the side wall of the frying drum 200, then gathers towards the center of the frying drum 200. In this way, the flowing hot airflow can prevent the oil fumes generated by the food from entering the ventilation cavity 321 from the air inlet channel 301, thus preventing the heater 310 from becoming covered with oil. Finally, the airflow is discharged to the outside through the exhaust channel 302 and the exhaust pipe 120.

[0042] It should be noted that, compared with existing technologies, the air fryer 10 of this invention enables convenient and quick cleaning. Specifically, in existing air fryers, during cooking, grease from the food easily splatters onto the interior or heater. Due to the uneven surface of the interior or heater, there are many hard-to-reach areas, making it difficult for users to clean thoroughly with a cloth. In this embodiment, however, the grease from the food splatters onto the lower cover 323 during cooking. Since the lower cover 323 has a smooth surface, users can easily wipe away the grease with a cloth after cooking, thus achieving convenient cleaning.

[0043] In this embodiment, a spacer frame 210 (such as...) is provided inside the heating chamber 101 of the frying barrel 200. Figure 7 As shown, the partition frame 210 has a hollow structure, which is used to create a height difference between the food and the bottom of the heating chamber 101. This allows hot air to flow towards the bottom of the food, resulting in more even heating.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 400 includes a cooling fan blade 430 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, both the cooling fan blade 430 and the heating fan blade 420 are mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 410, with the cooling fan blade 430 positioned above the air guide shroud 320. During cooking, the outer shell is affected by the hot airflow, causing its temperature to rise. If a user touches the outer shell of the fryer at this time, they are likely to be burned. The cooling fan blade 430 is used to promote the flow of gas inside the main body 100, thereby cooling the outer wall of the main body 100 to prevent accidental burns.

[0045] In summary, the air fryer 10 of this invention can solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of existing air fryers, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
