Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to an air fryer that prevents residue from clogging. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the popularization of healthy eating concepts, air fryers, as kitchen appliances that use hot air circulation to achieve the effect of frying food, have gradually become a common device in modern family kitchens due to their advantages such as oil-free or low-oil cooking and convenient operation. The working principle of an air fryer is mainly to generate high-temperature air through a heating device, and use a fan to blow the hot air at high speed into the cooking chamber, forming a circulating hot air flow in the cooking chamber, which quickly dehydrates the surface of the food and creates a crispy texture, while achieving a cooking effect similar to deep-frying.

[0003] In the structural design of an air fryer, the frying basket is a crucial component for holding food, and its design directly affects the cooking effect, the hygiene during food processing, and the ease of cleaning after use. Currently, common air fryer basket structures on the market typically include a frying plate inside the basket for placing the food to be cooked, with an air vent at the bottom to ensure the circulation of hot air within the cooking chamber. However, this traditional basket structure has significant technical shortcomings.

[0004] During food cooking, grease, crumbs, and other residues on the food surface fall through the ventilation holes in the frying basket. Since the air vent at the bottom of the basket is directly connected to the cooking cavity, these fallen residues and grease easily fall into the vent and then enter the cooking cavity. On the one hand, the accumulation of residue at the vent obstructs the flow of hot air, resulting in poor hot air circulation inside the air fryer, affecting the cooking efficiency and evenness of the food, causing some parts of the food to be undercooked or overcooked, thus reducing the cooking effect. On the other hand, once the grease and residue enter the cooking cavity, they adhere to the inner walls of the cooking cavity, the heating element, the fan, and other components, not only increasing the difficulty and workload of cleaning the air fryer, but also allowing bacteria to grow over time, affecting the hygiene and safety of the air fryer and shortening its lifespan.

[0005] To address these issues, some existing technologies attempt to reduce residue and grease fall by optimizing the frying basket structure. For example, some use densely ventilated frying plates, but this restricts the flow of hot air and reduces the cooking efficiency of the air fryer. Others install filters at the bottom of the frying basket, but these filters are also easily clogged by residue, and cleaning them is cumbersome, failing to fundamentally solve the problem.

[0006] Therefore, how to design an air fryer basket structure that can effectively prevent food residue and grease from falling into the air outlet and cooking cavity of the fryer basket, without affecting the normal circulation of hot air, and at the same time be easy to clean, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the current air fryer technology field. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an air fryer that prevents food residue from clogging. This solves the technical problems of food residue and grease falling into the air outlet of the existing air fryer basket structure, which can clog the air outlet, contaminate the cooking cavity, and lead to poor hot air circulation, poor cooking effect, and difficulty in cleaning.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] An air fryer designed to prevent residue clogging, comprising:

[0010] The fryer body has a cooking cavity defined inside;

[0011] The frying basket is detachably installed inside the cooking cavity, and the bottom wall of the frying basket has an air outlet area with an air vent.

[0012] A frying plate is suspended inside the frying basket. The frying plate has a food placement area with ventilation holes, and the air outlet is located below the food placement area.

[0013] Its features are:

[0014] It also includes a partition suspended inside the frying basket and located below the frying plate. The partition has a receiving part and a guiding part. The receiving part is located below the food placement area and is used to receive food residue and grease falling from the ventilation hole. The guiding part is located around the receiving part and has guiding holes for connecting the upper and lower parts of the partition.

[0015] Furthermore, the middle of the bottom wall of the frying basket protrudes upward to define the air outlet area, and the edge of the air outlet area is located outside the edge of the receiving part.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the frying basket is defined as an oil collection area around the air outlet area, and the oil collection area is located below the guide section to receive grease dripping from the guide hole.

[0017] Furthermore, the middle part of the partition protrudes upward to define the receiving part.

[0018] Furthermore, the side wall of the frying basket is provided with a first support surface for suspending the frying plate and a second support surface for suspending the partition plate, both of which are recessed inward from the side wall.

[0019] Furthermore, the air vents on the frying plate are arranged in a ring array in the food placement area.

[0020] Furthermore, the edges of both the frying plate and the oil guide plate are provided with high-temperature resistant elastic material.

[0021] Furthermore, the top of the fryer body is provided with a hot air channel for inputting heated air into the cooking cavity, and the side of the fryer body defines a first circulation cavity. The first circulation cavity is provided with a first centrifugal fan, and the first circulation cavity has a first circulation air outlet connected to the hot air channel and a first circulation air inlet connected to the cooking cavity.

[0022] Furthermore, the top of the fryer body is provided with a hot air channel for inputting heated air into the cooking cavity, and the bottom of the fryer body defines a second circulation cavity. The second circulation cavity is provided with a second centrifugal fan. The second circulation cavity has a second circulation air outlet and a second circulation air inlet. The second circulation air outlet is connected to the hot air channel, and the second circulation air inlet is connected to the cooking cavity.

[0023] Furthermore, the cooking cavity has an air vent in the middle of its bottom wall, and the bottom wall has supporting ribs for supporting the frying basket.

[0024] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This utility model of an air fryer, by setting a partition with a receiving part and a guide part below the frying plate, effectively catches food residue and grease falling from the ventilation holes, preventing them from falling onto the air outlet on the bottom wall of the frying basket and clogging it. Hot air can flow downwards through the guide holes of the guide part. In this way, hot air can circulate smoothly in the cooking cavity, ensuring a uniform temperature distribution within the cooking cavity. This allows food to be heated evenly during the cooking process, achieving ideal results in both surface dehydration for a crispy texture and internal cooking thoroughly. This significantly improves cooking efficiency and uniformity, ensuring the quality of the cooked food.

[0026] 2. After the receiving part of the partition catches food residue and grease, the upward bulge in the middle of the partition defines the receiving part. Grease will flow along the inclined surface of the receiving part to the guide hole and eventually fall into the oil collection area located below the guide part; while food residue remains in the receiving part. This separation method allows grease and residue to be collected and processed separately, preventing grease from dripping onto the ground when the partition is removed after cooking in the air fryer. It also facilitates users to clean the oil collection area and the receiving part afterward. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] This embodiment provides an air fryer that prevents residue from clogging, comprising:

[0044] The fryer body has a cooking cavity defined inside;

[0045] The frying basket is detachably installed inside the cooking cavity, and the bottom wall of the frying basket has an air outlet area with an air vent.

[0046] The frying plate is suspended inside the frying basket. The frying plate has a food placement area with ventilation holes, and the air outlet is located below the food placement area.

[0047] It also includes a partition suspended inside the frying basket and located below the frying plate. The partition has a receiving part and a diversion part. The receiving part is located below the food placement area and is used to receive food residue and grease that fall from the ventilation holes. The diversion part is located around the receiving part and has diversion holes for connecting the upper and lower parts of the partition.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air fryer of this embodiment includes an air fryer body 100, a frying basket 110, a frying plate 120, and a partition 130. The air fryer body 100 defines a cooking cavity 101 for cooking food. The frying basket 110 is detachably disposed within the cooking cavity 101. This detachable design facilitates individual cleaning of the frying basket 110, ensuring its cleanliness and hygiene. The bottom wall of the frying basket 110 has an air outlet area 111, within which an air outlet 1111 is provided. The air outlet 1111 is a key channel for hot air to flow from the bottom of the frying basket 110 into the cooking cavity 101, ensuring the circulation of hot air within the cooking cavity 101 and allowing the food to be heated evenly.

[0049] The frying plate 120 is suspended inside the frying basket 110 and has a food placement area 121 with ventilation holes 1211. Food is placed on the food placement area 121. The design of the ventilation holes 1211 allows hot air to enter from the top of the cooking chamber 101 and pass through the ventilation holes 1211 to heat and cook the food. It also facilitates the removal of grease and residue produced during the cooking process from the ventilation holes 1211.

[0050] The partition 130 is suspended inside the frying basket 110 and located below the frying plate 120. The partition 130 has a receiving part 131 and a guide part 132. The receiving part 131 is located below the food placement area 121, and its main function is to receive food residue and grease falling from the ventilation hole 1211, preventing these residues and grease from falling directly onto the air outlet 1111 on the bottom wall of the frying basket 110, thereby avoiding blockage of the air outlet 1111. The guide part 132 is located around the receiving part 131, and the guide part 132 has a guide hole 1321. The guide hole 1321 is used to connect the upper and lower parts of the partition 130, so that hot air can pass smoothly through the partition 130 and continue to circulate in the cooking cavity 101, ensuring the normal operation of the air fryer.

[0051] In some embodiments, the middle of the bottom wall of the frying basket protrudes upward to define an air outlet area, and the edge of the air outlet area is located outside the edge of the receiving part.

[0052] See Figure 3In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the frying basket 110 protrudes upwards in the middle to define an air outlet area 111, and the edge of the air outlet area 111 does not extend beyond the edge of the receiving part 131. This design ensures that the receiving part 131 effectively covers the air outlet 1111, preventing food residue and grease from falling from the edge of the receiving part 131 to the air outlet 1111, thereby better protecting the air outlet 1111 from blockage.

[0053] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the frying basket is defined as an oil collection area around the air outlet area, and the oil collection area is located below the guide section for receiving grease dripping from the guide hole.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the frying basket 110 is defined as an oil collection area 112 around the air outlet area 111, and the oil collection area 112 is located below the guide section 132. When grease falls from the ventilation hole 1211 to the receiving section 131, it will flow along the inclined surface of the receiving section 131 to the guide hole 1321, and finally fall into the oil collection area 112. The setting of the oil collection area 112 facilitates the collection and handling of grease, prevents grease from flowing randomly in the frying basket 110, and further improves the cleaning convenience of the air fryer.

[0055] In some embodiments, the middle portion of the partition protrudes upward to define a receiving portion.

[0056] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the design of the receiving portion 131 and the guiding portion 132 of the partition 130 solves the problem of handling residue and grease. The receiving portion 131 is located in the middle of the partition 130, protruding upwards to form a slope with a certain angle. This sloped structure facilitates the flow of grease. When food residue and grease fall from the vent 1211 to the receiving portion 131, the grease will slide on the slope of the receiving portion 131 due to its own fluidity, and eventually drip into the oil collection area 112 through the guiding hole 1321. Food residue, due to its different shape and properties, usually remains on the receiving portion 131, thus achieving effective separation of grease and residue. This separation method not only avoids the situation where grease and residue are mixed together and difficult to clean, but also facilitates targeted cleaning of the partition 130 and the oil collection area 112 by the user after cooking.

[0057] The airflow guide 132 is located around the receiving part 131 and has multiple airflow guide holes 1321. The size and distribution density of the airflow guide holes 1321 are carefully designed to ensure that hot air can pass through smoothly without allowing food residue to pass through easily. During cooking, hot air enters downward from the top of the cooking cavity 101, passes through the ventilation hole 1211, and continues downward through the airflow guide holes 1321 of the partition 130. Then, it enters the bottom space of the cooking cavity 101 through the air outlet area 111 on the bottom wall of the frying basket 110 and enters the next cycle, thus forming a circulating airflow within the cooking cavity 101. This circulating airflow ensures that the temperature within the cooking cavity 101 is evenly distributed, ensuring that the food is heated evenly during cooking. Whether it is surface dehydration to achieve a crispy texture or internal cooking, the ideal state is achieved, significantly improving cooking efficiency and cooking uniformity.

[0058] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the frying basket is provided with a first support surface for suspending the frying plate and a second support surface for suspending the partition plate, both the first support surface and the second support surface being recessed inward from the sidewall.

[0059] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the sidewall of the frying basket 110 is provided with a first support surface 113 for suspending the frying plate 120 and a second support surface 114 for suspending the partition 130. Both the first support surface 113 and the second support surface 114 are recessed inward from the sidewall. This structural design makes the installation of the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 stable and easy to disassemble. In actual use, the user can easily install the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 into the frying basket 110 as needed, or remove them from the frying basket 110 for cleaning. This easy disassembly and installation design not only improves the user experience, but also ensures the stability of the internal structure of the frying basket 110, avoiding the loosening or displacement of the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 during use, thereby ensuring that the air fryer can work normally.

[0060] In some embodiments, the air vents on the frying plate are arranged in a ring array in the food placement area.

[0061] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, the ventilation holes 1211 on the frying plate 120 are arranged in a ring array in the food placement area 121. This ring array arrangement helps to distribute hot air evenly. During cooking, hot air flows downward from the top of the frying basket 110, acting evenly on all parts of the food and passing through the ventilation holes 1211. The ring array of ventilation holes 1211 enables a more uniform airflow distribution within the food placement area 121, avoiding localized overheating or underheating, thereby improving the cooking effect. This design not only allows the food surface to dehydrate quickly, creating a crispy texture, but also ensures that the food is cooked evenly inside, improving the cooking quality of the food.

[0062] In some embodiments, the edges of both the frying plate and the oil guide plate are provided with a high-temperature resistant elastic material.

[0063] In this embodiment, the edges of both the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 are provided with a high-temperature resistant elastic material. This high-temperature resistant elastic material has good elasticity and high-temperature resistance, and can remain stable in high-temperature environments. In actual use, the high-temperature resistant elastic material can prevent the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 from being damaged by collisions during installation and use, extending their service life. At the same time, the high-temperature resistant elastic material can also enhance the sealing effect between the frying plate 120 and the partition 130 and the frying basket 110, preventing food residue and grease from leaking from the edges. This sealing design further improves the ease of cleaning the air fryer, reduces the amount of cleaning work, and also ensures hygiene and safety during the cooking process.

[0064] In some embodiments, the top of the fryer body is further provided with a hot air channel for inputting heated air into the cooking cavity, the side of the fryer body defines a first circulation cavity, a first centrifugal fan is provided in the first circulation cavity, the first circulation cavity has a first circulation air outlet communicating with the hot air channel and a first circulation air inlet communicating with the cooking cavity.

[0065] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the top of the fryer body 100 is provided with a hot air channel 102 for inputting heated air into the cooking cavity 101, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The hot air channel 102 is a key channel for hot air to enter the cooking chamber 101, and its design directly affects the flow rate and temperature distribution of the hot air. The side of the fryer body 100 defines a first circulation chamber 103, which is equipped with a first centrifugal fan 1031. During operation, the first centrifugal fan 1031 can centrifuge the air in the first circulation chamber 103 and throw it through the first circulation outlet 1032 towards the hot air channel 102, and then blow the hot air into the cooking chamber 101 through the hot air channel 102. At the same time, the first circulation chamber 103 is also equipped with a first circulation inlet 1033, which is connected to the cooking chamber 101, so that the air in the cooking chamber 101 can re-enter the first circulation chamber 103, forming a circulating airflow. This circulating airflow can keep the temperature in the cooking chamber 101 evenly distributed, improving cooking efficiency and cooking uniformity.

[0066] In some embodiments, the top of the fryer body is further provided with a hot air channel for inputting heated air into the cooking cavity, the bottom of the fryer body defines a second circulation cavity, a second centrifugal fan is provided in the second circulation cavity, the second circulation cavity has a second circulation air outlet and a second circulation air inlet, the second circulation air outlet is connected to the hot air channel, and the second circulation air inlet is connected to the cooking cavity.

[0067] In this embodiment, the bottom of the fryer body 100 may also define a second circulation chamber 104, and a second centrifugal fan 1041 is provided in the second circulation chamber 104. The second centrifugal fan 1041 works in conjunction with the first centrifugal fan 1031 to further improve the circulation efficiency of hot air in the cooking chamber 101. The second circulation chamber 104 has a second circulation air outlet 1042 and a second circulation air inlet 1043. The second circulation air outlet 1042 is connected to the hot air channel 102, and the second circulation air inlet 1043 is connected to the cooking chamber 101. Through the action of the second centrifugal fan 1041, hot air can enter the hot air channel 102 from the second circulation chamber 104, and then be blown into the cooking chamber 101 through the hot air channel 102. At the same time, the air in the cooking chamber 101 re-enters the second circulation chamber 104 through the second circulation air inlet 1043, forming another circulating airflow.

[0068] In some embodiments, a first circulation chamber 103 can be provided on the side of the fryer body and a second circulation chamber 104 can be provided at the bottom of the fryer body. In this case, the second circulation air outlet 1042 is connected to the first circulation air inlet 1033 of the first circulation chamber 103, the second circulation air inlet 1043 is connected to the cooking chamber 101, and the first circulation air outlet 1032 is connected to the hot air channel 102. Through the combined action of the first centrifugal fan 1031 and the second centrifugal fan 1041, the circulation speed of the circulating airflow is accelerated. This dual circulation system design allows the hot air in the cooking chamber 101 to circulate more fully, further improving the cooking effect.

[0069] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity is provided with an air vent in the middle, and the bottom wall is provided with support ribs for supporting the frying basket.

[0070] In this embodiment, an air outlet 1011 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 101. The air outlet can be directly connected to the first circulation cavity 103 or the second circulation cavity 104. The function of the air outlet 1011 is to discharge excess hot air generated during the cooking process from the cooking cavity 101 to promote airflow circulation. At the same time, a support rib 1012 is provided on the bottom wall to support the frying basket 110. The support rib 1012 can ensure the stability of the frying basket 110 and prevent the frying basket 110 from shaking or shifting during the cooking process. At the same time, it allows air to smoothly pass through the bottom of the frying basket into the air outlet 1011 of the cooking cavity 101, ensuring smooth airflow circulation.

[0071] The working process or principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0072] When cooking using the air fryer of this invention, which prevents food residue from clogging, first place the frying basket 110 inside the cooking chamber 101, and then place the food to be cooked on the food placement area 121 of the frying plate 120. After starting the air fryer, the heating device generates high-temperature air. Under the action of the centrifugal fan, the hot air enters the cooking chamber 101 and the frying basket 110 through the hot air channel 102, heats and cooks the food, and then flows downward through the ventilation holes 1211 of the frying plate 120. During the cooking process, grease and residue on the surface of the food will fall from the ventilation holes 1211. Due to the presence of the partition 130, this grease and residue first fall onto the receiving part 131 of the partition 130. The inclined structure of the receiving part 131 allows the grease to flow along the inclined surface to the guide hole 1321, and finally drip into the oil collection area 112. The food residue remains on the receiving part 131, achieving effective separation of grease and residue. After passing through the vent 1211, the hot air continues to flow downwards, through the guide hole 1321 of the partition 130, and then through the air outlet 1111 on the bottom wall of the frying basket 110, entering the bottom space of the cooking cavity 101, and then exiting from the air outlet 1011 at the bottom of the cooking cavity 101. Subsequently, the hot air re-enters the circulation cavity through the circulation air inlet, forming a circulating airflow. This circulating airflow enables the temperature inside the cooking cavity 101 to remain evenly distributed, ensuring that the food is heated evenly during the cooking process.

[0073] After cooking, the user can remove the frying basket 110 from the cooking chamber 101. Thanks to the partition 130, residue and grease are effectively collected and separated. The user can easily remove the partition 130 from the frying basket 110 to clean the residue on the receiving part 131, and also conveniently clean the grease in the oil collection area 112. This easy-to-clean design greatly reduces the user's cleaning workload and improves the convenience of using the air fryer.

[0074] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
