Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-functional pot. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing demand for diversified home cooking, various integrated and intelligent cooking devices have emerged. Among them, air fryers and ovens are particularly popular with consumers due to their unique heating methods and cooking effects.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, these two devices are often independent of each other, have limited functions, and lack the ability to switch between them, resulting in the following shortcomings:
[0004] If users need both air frying and baking functions, they have to install two separate appliances at home: an air fryer and an oven, which takes up kitchen space and increases purchase and maintenance costs.
[0005] Even though some combined baking and hot air functions have appeared on the market, the user experience of switching between modes is not good. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-functional pot that can conveniently switch between "air fryer" and "oven" modes, and can still stably support the grill rack in oven mode.
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0008] A multi-functional pot includes a support base, a baking device, and a control device. The heating area of the baking device is provided with a support surface for supporting a barbecue grill. The baking device is rotatably mounted on the support base.
[0009] When the baking device rotates, so that the heating area of the baking device faces the bottom wall of the support, an air fryer is formed, and a baking cavity for placing the pot is formed between the heating area of the baking device and the bottom wall of the support.
[0010] When the baking device is rotated, an oven is formed so that the heating area of the baking device faces the top of the support base;
[0011] The control device is mounted on the support base and is used to lock or unlock the rotation angle of the baking device.
[0012] By switching between "air fryer" and "oven" modes using the same baking device, users do not need to purchase two separate devices, saving kitchen counter space and reducing procurement and maintenance costs.
[0013] The control unit is integrated into the support base. Users can quickly switch between different cooking modes simply by locking or unlocking the rotation angle of the baking device, without disassembling or replacing parts, thus improving the user experience.
[0014] In air fry mode, the heating area is aligned with the bottom wall of the support base to form a closed baking cavity, achieving high-speed hot air circulation, effectively degreasing and quickly crisping;
[0015] In oven mode, the heating area is aligned with the top, and the grill is securely supported by the support surface to meet the grilling requirements of the food.
[0016] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:
[0017] Furthermore, the baking device includes an outer shell, a heating element, a motor, fan blades, heat dissipation fan blades, and an inner shell. The inner shell is disposed inside the outer shell and divides the outer shell into a heat dissipation cavity and a heating cavity. The inner shell is provided with the support surface at intervals, and the outer shell has heat dissipation holes at the positions corresponding to the heat dissipation cavity.
[0018] The motor is installed inside the housing, and the motor shaft extends outward through the inner housing. The cooling fan blades are installed inside the cooling cavity and connected to the shaft. The fan blades are installed inside the heating cavity and connected to the shaft. The motor drives the fan blades and the cooling fan blades to rotate synchronously.
[0019] The heating element is disposed inside the heating cavity and located above the fan blades.
[0020] The inner shell separates the outer shell into a heat dissipation cavity and a heating cavity, enabling hot air circulation and heat dissipation zoning. This ensures efficient convection within the heating cavity while promptly expelling excess heat, improving cooking efficiency and extending the lifespan of the motor and electronic components.
[0021] The cooling fan blades and heating fan blades rotate synchronously on the same axis, providing both high-speed hot air circulation for the heating chamber and an effective heat dissipation channel for the cooling chamber, thus balancing cooking performance with safety and stability.
[0022] The heating element is located above the fan blades, which helps to evenly blow heat down to the food or pot, avoiding localized overheating and achieving a more uniform baking and frying effect.
[0023] After switching to oven mode, users do not need to install any additional support accessories; they can simply place the grill rack on the support surface to start baking.
[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a pot body. When the multi-functional pot is used as an air fryer, the pot body is detachably installed inside the baking cavity, and the heat generated by the heating area is transferred to the pot body.
[0025] The detachable pot body design allows users to quickly install and remove the pot, improving the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.
[0026] Heat is efficiently transferred to the pot body through the heating zone, ensuring that the food is heated evenly and degreased significantly in air fry mode, satisfying different cooking habits.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a barbecue grill, which includes a grilling net and supporting legs. The supporting legs and the grilling net are connected. When the multi-functional pot forms a grill, the supporting legs abut against the supporting surface and support the grilling net upwards.
[0028] The support feet fit into the support surface of the baking device, ensuring the baking rack is stable and does not wobble, allowing users to bake food with peace of mind.
[0029] The support feet self-adaptively contact the support surface, simplifying the installation and positioning process. It can be quickly positioned without additional tools, improving ease of operation.
[0030] The support surface is in direct contact with the support legs of the grill, forming a solid support point. This prevents the grill from shaking or tilting due to high-speed fan rotation or operational vibrations during grilling mode, thus improving cooking safety and reliability.
[0031] Furthermore, the support base includes support arms and a base plate, with the support arms respectively disposed on both sides of the base plate, and the support base and the base plate forming a U-shaped support base.
[0032] The design of the two side support arms provides reliable pivot support for the rotation of the baking device.
[0033] Furthermore, the control device includes a toggle switch for locking or unlocking the rotation angle of the baking device, the toggle switch being disposed on the top of the support arm.
[0034] The toggle switch is located on the top of the support arm, which is easily accessible to the user. Switching modes is intuitive and convenient, improving the user experience.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0036] This invention allows users to switch between "air fryer" and "oven" modes using the same baking device, eliminating the need to purchase two separate devices. This saves kitchen counter space and reduces procurement and maintenance costs.
[0037] In this invention, the toggle switch is located on the top of the support arm, which is easily accessible to the user. Switching modes is intuitive and convenient, improving the user experience.
[0038] In this invention, during the air frying mode, heat is efficiently transferred to the pot body through the heating zone, ensuring that the food is heated evenly and has a significant degreasing effect, thus meeting different cooking habits.
[0039] In this invention, the supporting surface directly contacts the supporting legs of the grill, forming a solid support point. This prevents the grill from shaking or tilting due to high-speed fan rotation or operational vibrations during grilling mode, thus improving cooking safety and reliability.
[0040] With this invention, after switching to oven mode, users do not need to install any additional support accessories; they can simply place the grill rack on the support surface to start baking. Attached Figure Description
