[0027] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously have frying and grilling functions and air frying functions, and can improve the reliability of frying or air frying food, which is conducive to improving user satisfaction.
[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: device body 1.
[0029] The main body 1 of the equipment has a grilling cavity 11 and an air frying cavity 12, which are distributed in the vertical direction. The main body 1 is provided with at least one first heating element 13 for heating the grilling cavity 11 and at least one second heating element 14 for heating the air frying cavity 12. The main body 1 includes a lower body 16 and a body cover 17. The body cover 17 can be opened or closed relative to the lower body 16. The grilling cavity 11 is formed between the body cover 17 and the lower body 16. The body cover 17 is provided with a functional element 19, which is used to press the food in the grilling cavity 11 or to filter the oil fumes generated in at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12.
[0030] Specifically, the cooking device 100 is used to cook food to shorten cooking time and improve the cooking experience. The cooking device 100 includes a main body 1, which serves as the outer shell structure of the cooking device 100. It can be used to install and protect the various components inside the cooking device 100. In other words, all the components inside the cooking device 100 are installed inside the main body 1 to avoid damage to the components due to accidental collisions, thereby extending the service life of the components.
[0031] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the equipment has a grilling cavity 11 and an air frying cavity 12. The grilling cavity 11 has a certain volume and can be used to hold food for grilling, thus realizing the grilling function of the cooking equipment 100. The air frying cavity 12 has a certain volume and can be used to hold food for air frying, thus realizing the air frying function of the cooking equipment 100. Since the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 are formed in the main body 1 of the equipment, the cooking equipment 100 can have both grilling and air frying functions at the same time. This allows users to selectively use one function alone or both functions at the same time according to their own needs, which helps to improve user satisfaction. Moreover, the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 are distributed in the vertical direction. The grilling cavity 11 can be set above or below the air frying cavity 12, which means that the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 are separated to avoid interference between them, which would reduce the volume of the grilling cavity 11 or the air frying cavity 12, or cause the grilling function or the air frying function to fail.
[0032] Meanwhile, at least one first heating element 13 for heating the grilling cavity 11 is provided in the main body 1 of the equipment. That is, the first heating element 13 can be used to generate heat to heat the food in the grilling cavity 11, thereby realizing the grilling function of the cooking equipment 100. The number of first heating elements 13 can be one, two or three, etc., so that at least one first heating element 13 can be used to heat the food in the grilling cavity 11, which can improve the reliability of grilling the food. Furthermore, by setting at least one first heating element 13 in the main body 1 of the equipment, the first heating element 13 can be installed and fixed, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the first heating element 13.
[0033] Furthermore, at least one second heating element 14 for heating the air frying cavity 12 is provided in the main body 1 of the equipment. That is, the second heating element 14 can be used to generate heat to heat the food in the air frying cavity 12, thereby realizing the air frying function of the cooking equipment 100. The number of second heating elements 14 can be one, two or three, etc., so that at least one second heating element 14 can be used to heat the food in the air frying cavity 12, which can improve the reliability of air frying food. Moreover, by setting at least one second heating element 14 in the main body 1 of the equipment, the installation and fixation of the second heating element 14 can be realized, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the second heating element 14.
[0034] It should be noted that by simultaneously setting the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 14, the first heating element 13 can be used only to heat the grilling cavity 11, and the second heating element 14 can be used only to heat the air frying cavity 12, which can further improve the reliability of the operation of the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 14.
[0035] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the equipment includes a lower body 16 and an upper body cover 17, which can be connected to the upper body 16, so that the main body 1 of the equipment can be a whole, thereby improving the overall structural strength and operational reliability of the main body 1 of the equipment. The grilling cavity 11 is formed between the upper body cover 17 and the lower body 16, so that when the upper body cover 17 and the lower body 16 are connected, the upper body cover 17 and the lower body 16 can jointly define the grilling cavity 11 for grilling food.
[0036] Furthermore, the upper cover 17 can be opened or closed relative to the lower body 16, meaning that the upper cover 17 and the lower body 16 can be movably connected. This allows the upper cover 17 to open or close while moving relative to the lower body 16. When the upper cover 17 is open, the grilling cavity 11 can be opened, making it convenient for users to take out or put in food or to observe the food during cooking. When the upper cover 17 is closed, the grilling cavity 11 can be sealed to prevent heat loss and thus increase the cooking time.
[0037] Furthermore, the upper cover 17 of the machine body is also provided with a functional component 19. The functional component 19 is used to press the food in the grilling cavity 11 or to filter the oil fumes generated in at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12. In actual design, the functional component 19 can be constructed as a component with different functions, such as a baking tray to clamp the food in the grilling cavity 11, or a smoke filtering assembly. The smoke filtering assembly can be connected to at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 to filter the oil fumes generated during cooking, so as to avoid triggering the smoke alarm during normal cooking.
[0038] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device 100, by forming a grilling cavity 11 and an air frying cavity 12 in the main body 1, enables the cooking device 100 to simultaneously possess grilling and air frying functions. Furthermore, by distributing the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 along the vertical direction, the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 are separated to avoid interference between them, which could lead to a reduction in the volume of the grilling cavity 11 or the air frying cavity 12, or the failure of the grilling or air frying function. Additionally, by providing a first heating element 13 and a second heating element 14, the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 can be heated respectively, improving the reliability of grilling or air frying food. Moreover, by providing a functional element 19, the food in the grilling cavity 11 can be clamped or the oil fumes generated in at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 can be filtered, thus improving user satisfaction.
[0039] In some embodiments, the top of the lower body 16 is provided with a lower baking tray 18 facing into the grilling cavity 11, and the lower baking tray 18 is used to support food.
[0040] Specifically, the lower body 16 and the upper cover 17 together define the grilling cavity 11, which is formed above the lower body 16. A lower grilling tray 18 is provided on the top of the lower body 16, facing into the grilling cavity 11. The lower grilling tray 18 can be installed on the top of the lower body 16 or placed at the bottom of the grilling cavity 11, so that the lower grilling tray 18 can be used to support the food that needs to be grilled. This allows the user to place the food on the lower grilling tray 18 for grilling. In actual design, the circumferential edge of the lower grilling tray 18 can be bent upwards, so that the lower grilling tray 18 can be groove-shaped and have a certain depth to support liquid foods, such as egg liquid, thereby increasing the applicability of the lower grilling tray 18 and improving user satisfaction.
[0041] In some embodiments, the functional component 19 is configured as an upper baking pan, which is located on the side of the upper cover 17 of the machine body facing the grilling cavity 11. The upper baking pan is adapted to press the food together with the lower baking pan 18.
[0042] Specifically, the lower body 16 and the upper cover 17 together define the grilling cavity 11, which is formed below the upper cover 17. The functional component 19 is configured as an upper baking tray, and the upper baking tray is set on the side of the upper cover 17 facing the grilling cavity 11. The upper baking tray can be installed below the upper cover 17, or set on the top of the grilling cavity 11, so that the upper baking tray can face the lower baking tray 18. This allows the upper baking tray and the lower baking tray 18 to press the food together, which facilitates grilling. At the same time, the upper baking tray and the lower baking tray 18 together define the grilling cavity 11 to hold food. The upper baking tray and the lower baking tray 18 can be set facing each other to increase the volume of the grilling cavity 11, which helps to improve user satisfaction.
[0043] In some embodiments, the functional element 19 is configured as a smoke filtering assembly having a filter conduit for communication with at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12.
[0044] Specifically, the functional component 19 is configured as a smoke filtering assembly. The smoke filtering assembly is used to filter cooking fumes to avoid triggering the smoke alarm during normal cooking. The smoke filtering assembly has a filter pipe that guides the cooking fumes to the smoke filtering assembly for filtration. The filter pipe is connected to at least one of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12. This allows the smoke filtering assembly to filter the cooking fumes generated in the grilling cavity 11 or the air frying cavity 12. Alternatively, the filter pipe can be connected to both the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 simultaneously, allowing the smoke filtering assembly to filter the cooking fumes generated in both frying cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of the smoke filtering assembly.
[0045] Furthermore, by placing the smoke filter assembly on the upper cover 17 of the machine body, the smoke filter assembly can be positioned above the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12, and thus placed in the upward flow path of the oil fumes. This allows the oil fumes generated during cooking to flow upward and towards the smoke filter assembly, making it easier to filter them through the smoke filter assembly.
[0046] The fume filter assembly can treat oil fumes by filtration, or in actual design, it can be treated by chemical decomposition. The choice can be made flexibly according to actual needs, thus improving the flexibility of the setup.
[0047] In some embodiments, the upper cover 17 is configured to be rotatable relative to the lower body 16; and / or, the first heating element 13 is disposed at the top within the lower body 16; and / or, the air blast cavity 12 is formed within the lower body 16.
[0048] Specifically, the upper cover 17 can be opened or closed relative to the lower body 16. By constructing the upper cover 17 to be rotatable relative to the lower body 16, the upper cover 17 and the lower body 16 can be rotatably connected, such as through a rotating shaft. This allows the user to rotate the upper cover 17 relative to the lower body 16 by flipping it over, thus opening or closing the upper cover 17 while rotating relative to the lower body 16. When the upper cover 17 is open, the grilling cavity 11 is open, making it easy for the user to observe or take out food. When the upper cover 17 is closed, the grilling cavity 11 is closed, preventing heat loss.
[0049] It should be noted that, for example Figures 1-4 As shown, a handle 26 can be provided on the side of the upper cover 17 facing the user, so that the user can operate the upper cover 17 through the handle 26 to open or close the upper cover 17.
[0050] Furthermore, the first heating element 13 is used to heat the grilling cavity 11. By placing the first heating element 13 at the top of the lower body 16, the first heating element 13 can be positioned as close as possible to the grilling cavity 11, so that the first heating element 13 can heat the food in the grilling cavity 11 and will not occupy the internal space of the grilling cavity 11, which helps to improve user satisfaction. At the same time, a lower baking tray 18 is also provided at the top of the lower body 16. The lower baking tray 18 is located at the bottom of the grilling cavity 11, so the first heating element 13 can be placed below the lower baking tray 18, which further avoids the first heating element 13 occupying the internal space of the grilling cavity 11, causing the volume of the grilling cavity 11 to decrease or causing the grilling function to fail.
[0051] Furthermore, the air frying cavity 12 is formed inside the lower body 16, that is, the air frying cavity 12 is formed inside the lower body 16, and the grilling cavity 11 is formed above the lower body 16, thereby separating the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 to avoid interference between the two, which would cause the volume of the grilling cavity 11 or the air frying cavity 12 to decrease, or cause the grilling function or the air frying function to fail.
[0052] In some embodiments, two second heating elements 14 are provided, and the two second heating elements 14 are respectively used to heat from opposite sides of the air blast cavity 12.
[0053] Specifically, the second heating element 14 is used to heat the air fryer cavity 12. By setting two second heating elements 14, the air fryer cavity 12 can be heated simultaneously by the two second heating elements 14, which can improve the reliability and efficiency of heating the food in the air fryer cavity 12. The two second heating elements 14 are used to heat from opposite sides of the air fryer cavity 12. The two second heating elements 14 can be set on the upper and lower sides of the air fryer cavity 12, or on the front and rear sides of the air fryer cavity 12, or on the left and right sides of the air fryer cavity 12, so that the two heating elements can heat the air fryer cavity 12 simultaneously from both sides of the air fryer cavity 12, which can improve the reliability and efficiency of heating the air fryer cavity 12. Furthermore, the two second heating elements 14 can be distributed at intervals to avoid interference between the two second heating elements 14, which would reduce the efficiency of heating the air fryer cavity 12.
[0054] In some embodiments, one second heating element 14 is used to heat from the top of the air blast cavity 12, and another second heating element 14 is used to heat from the bottom of the air blast cavity 12.
[0055] Specifically, the two second heating elements 14 are used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from opposite sides. One of the second heating elements 14 is used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the top, and the other is used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the bottom. The two second heating elements 14 are respectively set on the upper and lower sides of the air-burst cavity 12, so that the two second heating elements 14 can heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the upper and lower sides of the air-burst cavity 12 simultaneously. This improves the reliability and efficiency of heating the air-burst cavity 12 and avoids interference between the two second heating elements 14, which would reduce the efficiency of heating the air-burst cavity 12.
[0056] It should be noted that the first heating element 13 is located at the top of the lower body 16, and a second heating element 14 is located above the air frying cavity 12. The first heating element 13 and the second heating element 14 are used to heat the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12, respectively. The upper second heating element 14 can be placed below the first heating element 13 to avoid interference between them, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 14.
[0057] In some embodiments, the main body 1 of the device is further provided with an installation cavity 20, which is connected to the air blast cavity 12 through an airflow hole 21. An airflow fan 15 is provided in the installation cavity 20, which is used to drive the airflow in the air blast cavity 12.
[0058] Specifically, the main body 1 can be used to install and protect the various components within the cooking equipment 100. The main body 1 also has an installation cavity 20 with a large volume, which can accommodate the various components within the cooking equipment 100, thus enabling the installation of these components. Furthermore, the installation cavity 20 is equipped with an airflow fan 15 for driving the airflow within the air fryer cavity 12. The airflow fan 15 can be positioned opposite the air fryer cavity 12, allowing it to rotate relative to the main body 1 to drive the airflow within the air fryer cavity 12. This ensures that the food within the air fryer cavity 12 is heated evenly, and the main body 1 can install and protect the airflow fan 15 to prevent damage from accidental collisions, thereby extending the service life of the airflow fan 15.
[0059] Furthermore, the mounting cavity 20 and the air frying cavity 12 are connected through the airflow hole 21, that is, the airflow hole 21 is connected between the mounting cavity 20 and the air frying cavity 12, so that the airflow in the mounting cavity 20 can enter the air frying cavity 12 through the airflow hole 21, or the airflow in the air frying cavity 12 can enter the mounting cavity 20 through the airflow hole 21. The airflow fan 15 is used to drive the airflow in the air frying cavity 12. The airflow fan 15 and the airflow hole 21 can be arranged opposite each other, so that the airflow fan 15 can drive the airflow in the air frying cavity 12 through the airflow hole 21, thereby making the food in the air frying cavity 12 evenly heated.
[0060] It should be noted that there can be multiple airflow holes 21, and these multiple airflow holes 21 can be evenly distributed so that the airflow fan 15 can simultaneously drive the airflow in the air-burst cavity 12 through multiple airflow holes 21, which can effectively improve the reliability of driving the airflow.
[0061] In some embodiments, the second heating element 14 is used to heat the air blast cavity 12 from the first direction, and the airflow fan 15 is used to drive the airflow of the air blast cavity 12 along the second direction, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction.
[0062] Specifically, one second heating element 14 is used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the top, and the other second heating element 14 is used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the bottom. That is, the two second heating elements 14 can heat the air-burst cavity 12 from the upper and lower sides of the air-burst cavity 12 respectively. The second heating element 14 is used to heat the air-burst cavity 12 from a first direction, that is, the upper and lower direction. At the same time, the airflow fan 15 is used to drive the airflow of the air-burst cavity 12 along a second direction. The second direction intersects with the first direction, that is, the second direction can be a front-back direction or a left-right direction. Thus, the airflow fan 15 can drive the airflow of the air-burst cavity 12 from a front-back direction or a left-right direction. Therefore, the second heating element 14 and the airflow fan 15 can be distributed and arranged with the air-burst cavity 12 in different directions, which can effectively avoid interference between the second heating element 14 and the airflow fan 15, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the second heating element 14 and the airflow fan 15.
[0063] In other embodiments, the first direction is along the vertical direction of the device body 1, and the second direction is along the front-back direction of the device body 1.
[0064] Specifically, the first direction is along the vertical direction of the main body 1 of the equipment, that is, the two second heating elements 14 can heat the air blast cavity 12 from the upper and lower sides of the air blast cavity 12 respectively, which can improve the reliability and efficiency of heating the air blast cavity 12. The second direction is along the front and back direction of the main body 1 of the equipment, that is, the airflow fan 15 can be set on the front or back side of the air blast cavity 12, so that the airflow fan 15 can drive the airflow of the air blast cavity 12 in the front and back direction. In this way, the second heating elements 14 and the airflow fan 15 can be set in different directions to avoid interference between the second heating elements 14 and the airflow fan 15, which can further improve the reliability of the operation of the second heating elements 14 and the airflow fan 15.
[0065] It should be noted that the first heating element 13 can be constructed as a first heating tube, and the second heating element 14 can be constructed as a second heating tube. The first heating element 13 is used to heat the grilling cavity 11. By constructing the first heating element 13 as a first heating tube, the grilling cavity 11 can be heated through the first heating tube. The first heating tube can have a certain length, which can increase the heating area of the grilling cavity 11 and thus improve the heating efficiency of the grilling cavity 11. The first heating tube can be bent in an S-shape along the horizontal direction to further increase the length of the first heating tube, which can further increase the heating area of the grilling cavity 11, effectively improving the heating efficiency of the grilling cavity 11. It can also reduce the space occupied by the first heating tube in the vertical direction, which can facilitate the installation of the first heating tube in the main body 1 of the equipment.
[0066] The second heating element 14 is used to heat the air blast cavity 12. The second heating element 14 is constructed as a second heating tube, which can heat the air blast cavity 12. The second heating tube can have a certain length, which can increase the heating area of the air blast cavity 12 and thus improve the heating efficiency of the air blast cavity 12. The second heating tube can be bent in an S-shape in the horizontal direction to further increase the length of the second heating tube, which can further increase the heating area of the air blast cavity 12 and effectively improve the heating efficiency of the air blast cavity 12. It can also reduce the space occupied by the second heating tube in the vertical direction, which can facilitate the installation of the second heating tube in the main body 1 of the equipment.
[0067] In some embodiments, the air blast cavity 12 is provided with a partition plate 22, which divides the air blast cavity 12 into at least one sub-chamber 121.
[0068] Specifically, the air fryer cavity 12 has a certain volume and can be used to hold food for air frying. A partition plate 22 is provided inside the air fryer cavity 12, which can divide the air fryer cavity 12 into at least one sub-chamber 121. That is, the partition plate 22 is detachably installed inside the air fryer cavity 12 to facilitate installation or removal of the partition plate 22. When the partition plate 22 is installed inside the air fryer cavity 12, the partition plate 22 can divide the air fryer cavity 12 into two sub-chambers 121, and both sub-chambers 121 can be used to hold food. This allows the cooking equipment 100 to air fry two different foods at the same time, which can help improve user satisfaction. When the partition plate 22 is removed from the air fryer cavity 12, the air fryer cavity 12 can form a larger space, which can facilitate the holding of larger or longer foods, further improving user satisfaction.
[0069] It should be noted that a connector slot can be provided in the air blast cavity 12, and at least a portion of the partition plate 22 can be extended into the connector slot, so that the partition plate 22 can be inserted and engaged with the connector slot to fix the partition plate 22. This can improve the reliability of the partition plate 22 in dividing the space within the air blast cavity 12. Furthermore, multiple sets of connector slots can be provided at intervals in the air blast cavity 12, so that the partition plate 22 can be selectively inserted and engaged with one set of connector slots. This allows the user to adjust the volume of the sub-chamber 121 according to their own needs, thereby improving the flexibility of the setup.
[0070] And, such as Figure 2As shown, the partition plate 22 is provided with a connecting port 27, which penetrates the partition plate 22 along the thickness direction. When the partition plate 22 is installed in the air fryer cavity 12, the connecting port 27 can connect the two sub-cavities 121, allowing the airflow in the two sub-cavities 121 to flow to each other, thereby making the heat in the air fryer cavity 12 more uniform and facilitating the uniform heating of the two foods in the two sub-cavities 121. Furthermore, there can be multiple connecting ports 27 to improve the reliability of heat exchange between the two sub-cavities 121.
[0071] In other embodiments, the main body 1 of the device has an opening 23, and the air blast chamber 12 is provided with an air blast basket 24, which is adapted to be pulled out from the opening 23; wherein, the air blast basket 24 is provided with at least one pull lug 25.
[0072] Specifically, the air fryer basket 24 can form an air frying cavity 12 for holding food, and the main body of the equipment 1 has an opening 23. The air fryer basket 24 can be pulled out from the opening 23, so that the opening 23 is open to the outside, so that the user can insert the air fryer basket 24 into the main body of the equipment 1 from the opening 23 to air fry the food in the air fryer basket 24, or pull the air fryer basket 24 out of the main body of the equipment 1 from the opening 23, so as to put food into the air fryer basket 24 or take out the cooked food in the air fryer basket 24.
[0073] Furthermore, the air blast basket 24 is provided with at least one pull-out lug 25. The pull-out lug 25 provides a position for the user to operate the air blast basket 24, so that the user can pull the air blast basket 24. The pull-out lug 25 extends from the air blast basket 24 toward the outside of the air blast basket 24, so that the pull-out lug 25 has a certain length, so that the user can hold the pull-out lug 25, thereby facilitating the pulling of the air blast basket 24. Moreover, there is at least one pull-out lug 25, that is, the number of pull-out lugs 25 can be one, two or three, etc., so that the user can operate the air blast basket 24 through at least one pull-out lug 25. When the number of pull-out lugs 25 is greater than one, at least two pull-out lugs 25 can be arranged alternately, so that the user can selectively operate the air blast basket 24 from two positions at the same time, which can improve the stability of pulling the air blast basket 24.
[0074] In such Figures 1-3 In the embodiment shown, there are two pull tabs 25, and the two pull tabs 25 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the air blast basket 24, so that the user can smoothly pull the air blast basket 24 by operating the two pull tabs 25 at the same time.
[0075] It should be noted that, for example Figure 4As shown, the airflow fan 15 is located at the rear of the equipment body 1, and the air blast basket 24 is located at the front of the equipment body 1. This allows the airflow fan 15 and the air blast basket 24 to be spaced apart to avoid interference between them. The airflow outlet can be formed on a side wall of the air blast basket 24 facing the airflow fan 15 to prevent the side wall of the air blast basket 24 from blocking the airflow outlet and causing the airflow fan 15 to fail.
[0076] And, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower body 16 is also equipped with a control panel 28. The control panel 28 provides a position for the user to operate, so that the user can selectively use one of the functions of the cooking equipment 100 or use two functions at the same time. It also allows the user to control the cooking temperature and cooking time in the grilling cavity 11 or the air frying cavity 12, or to control the cooking temperature and cooking time in both the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12 at the same time, which can improve the convenience of operation.
[0077] Furthermore, the cooking device 100 of this application can be constructed with a larger dimension in the horizontal direction, so that the cooking device 100 can also be adapted to relatively flat foods overseas, such as bread, sausage, fish, etc., and can also increase the internal volume of the grilling cavity 11 and the air frying cavity 12, so that it can hold more food.
