Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking appliance technology, specifically to a cooking device with a smoking component. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer primarily uses air instead of the hot oil in a frying pan to gradually cook food. Simultaneously, the hot air removes surface moisture, achieving a similar effect to deep-frying. The basic working principle of an air fryer is "high-speed air circulation technology." Hot air is generated by heating elements inside the machine at high temperatures. A fan then blows this hot air into the fryer to heat the food. The hot air circulates within the enclosed space, using the food's own oils to fry it, thus dehydrating the food and resulting in a golden-brown, crispy surface, achieving a deep-frying effect.

[0003] In existing technologies, to meet the needs of some consumers, a smoking component is installed in the air fryer, with corresponding fruitwood particles added for smoking. This allows some foods to have a certain smoking effect after cooking, thereby improving the user experience. Although the above technical solution can achieve the smoking function, the smoke generated by the smoking component is usually directly connected to the bottom of the cooking chamber, resulting in uneven smoking on the surface of the food during cooking, which can seriously affect its edibility. Furthermore, the amount of smoke required varies depending on the type and quantity of food to be cooked. Therefore, the overall structure needs further improvement and optimization to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a cooking apparatus with a smoking component to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooking apparatus with a smoking component includes a cooking body having a cooking cavity, the cooking body being adapted to have a smoking component, and a smoke extraction component being provided on the cooking body. The smoke extraction component draws the smoke generated by the smoking component from the bottom to the top of the cooking cavity of the cooking body. The smoke extraction component has a fan and a smoke pipe, the smoke pipe having an intake section and an exhaust section, and the fan being arranged between the intake section and the exhaust section. The intake section is connected to the smoking component.

[0007] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: Arranging a smoke extraction component can meet the needs of smoking food. By arranging the smoke extraction component and controlling the opening and closing of the fan, the smoke generated by the smoke extraction component can be drawn from the bottom to the top of the cooking chamber of the main cooking unit. At this time, the smoke, along with the hot airflow, cooks the food from above, avoiding excessive smoke rising from the bottom and causing some food to be over-smoked. Furthermore, by controlling the fan, the smoke delivery rate can be appropriately changed to adapt to or meet the cooking needs of different types and quantities of food to be cooked, thus optimizing and improving the user experience.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the bottom of the cooking body has a mounting cavity, a heating element is provided in the mounting cavity, and the smoking component is adapted to be located in the mounting cavity and above the heating element; the side wall of the mounting cavity has an air intake, the end of the air intake section is connected to the air intake, and the air intake is in communication with the smoking component.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution facilitates the proper installation of the smoking components at the bottom of the cooking unit.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the smoking assembly includes a smoking box and a lid, the smoking box being adapted to the mounting cavity; the lid can be closed on the smoking box, and the smoking box and the lid enclose a combustion space, the smoking box having a hollow structure, and the smoke in the combustion space being drawn into the air intake through the hollow structure.

[0011] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution facilitates the formation of a combustion space, that is, it provides the necessary space for storing and burning fruit wood pellets used for smoking, and at the same time facilitates the exhaust of smoke from the smoking components.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the edge of the mounting cavity is provided with a continuous raised edge, and the cover is provided with an inward rolled edge and an outward rolled edge, and a mounting groove is formed between the inward rolled edge and the outward rolled edge, and the mounting groove is adapted to the raised edge.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution not only facilitates the fixing of the lid, but also relatively seals the smoke-making components and the mounting cavity, preventing smoke from escaping through the structural gaps.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the smoking box has a protrusion in the middle, and the top of the protrusion abuts against the box lid.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution facilitates the support of the lid and avoids unnecessary deformation of the lid due to external forces during use.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the top of the boss is provided with a retrieval opening.

[0017] Beneficial effects: In specific usage environments, users can easily take out and put away the smoking box through the retrieval port, making it more convenient to use.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, the hollow structure is located between the boss and the side wall of the smoking box, and the hollow structure has multiple smoking holes.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution facilitates the relatively even distribution of fruit wood particles on the smoking box, and also facilitates the exhaust of smoke through the smoking holes, thereby improving or ensuring the smoking effect.

[0020] Preferably, as an improvement, the fan is adapted to be installed inside the top of the cooking body; an air outlet is provided at the top of the cooking cavity, and the end of the air outlet section is connected to the air outlet.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution allows smoke to cook food from above along with the hot airflow, avoiding excessive smoke rising from the bottom and causing some food to be over-smoked. Attached Figure Description
