Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooking appliance technology, specifically relating to a multi-functional cooking food processor. Background Technology

[0002] As people pursue cooking efficiency, convenience, and versatility, air fryers have evolved from a single air-frying function to include a frying pan on top to increase their versatility. This allows air fryers to not only air-fry but also fry, grill, and boil. However, most of these air fryers can only be used with the frying pan, which limits the use of other cookware and fails to meet users' needs for cooking with other cookware. While induction cookers can be used with a variety of cookware, they do not have a baking or frying effect when used alone, which greatly reduces their functionality.

[0003] Meanwhile, Chinese patent CN221129659U also discloses a multi-functional air fryer, which has a heating element on the top of the air fryer that is suitable for heating various cookware. However, the heating element is located inside the end of the main body, so that the end face of the heating element is lower than the top end face of the main body. When oil stains, sewage or food residue fall on it, cleaning is extremely inconvenient. Users need to remove the food residue by hand, which not only makes their hands dirty, but also makes it easy to touch it before the heat conduction plate has completely dissipated heat, resulting in burns, which poses a great safety hazard.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-functional cooking appliance, including a housing 1. A heat dissipation cavity 11 and a heating cavity 12 are arranged sequentially inside the housing 1. A pot body 2, detachable from the housing 1, is housed within the heating cavity 12. A first heating component 3 is provided between the heat dissipation cavity 11 and the heating cavity 12 to heat the air inside the pot body 2, thereby baking food placed inside the pot body 2. A heat-conducting plate 5 is provided above the heat dissipation cavity 11. A second heating component 4 is housed within the heat dissipation cavity 11 to generate a magnetic field that heats the heat-conducting plate 5. The second heating component 4 includes a coil 43 for generating a magnetic field. When the cookware is placed on the heat-conducting plate 5, energizing the coil 43 generates a magnetic field. Magnetic lines of force within this field pass through the bottom of the cookware (such as an iron or stainless steel pot), creating eddy currents that rapidly heat the bottom, thus heating the food. Compared to traditional technologies that use heating wires, this invention is suitable for various cookware types, such as frying pans, saucepans, and steamers, offering greater flexibility and more diverse functions, thus enhancing the user's cooking experience. The first heating component 3 and the second heating component 4 are independent and do not interfere with each other. They can be used individually or simultaneously, offering flexibility and ease of operation, meeting diverse cooking needs while significantly improving cooking efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, the top end face of the heat-conducting plate 5 is lower than the top end face of the housing 1, ensuring complete contact between the cookware and the heat-conducting plate 5 while preventing the cookware from shifting and falling. The housing 1 also has a second heat dissipation hole 18 communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 11. The heat accumulated in the heat dissipation cavity 11 can be dissipated through the second heat dissipation hole 18. The top end face of the housing 1 also has a notch 13 corresponding to the heat-conducting plate 5. The end face of the notch 13 is lower than or flush with the top end face of the heat-conducting plate 5. The notch 13 is used for cleaning the heat-conducting plate 5. The notch 13 and the second heat dissipation hole 18 are respectively located on adjacent or opposite end walls on the outer periphery of the housing 1, preventing liquid from flowing out through the notch 13 and into the cooking machine through the second heat dissipation hole 18, thus preventing damage to internal parts. In this embodiment, a control panel is located on the front of the cooking machine. 7. The second heat dissipation hole 18 is located on the rear wall of the cooking machine. Therefore, the notch 13 is located on the left and right sides of the housing 1 to avoid the control panel 7 and the second heat dissipation hole 18. When using the heat-conducting plate 5 to steam or cook food, food residue or hot oil will inevitably splash or fall onto the heat-conducting plate 5. Or, during long-term use, the heat-conducting plate 5 is easily covered with oil stains or dust. Therefore, the heat-conducting plate 5 needs to be cleaned and maintained frequently to ensure its normal use. The notch 13 has a guiding effect on the cleaning of residue, making it easier for users to use a brush to sweep the debris off from the notch 13, making cleaning more convenient and bringing convenience to users. It avoids the inconvenience of picking up residue with hands and getting hands dirty, and requires frequent hand washing, allowing users to better enjoy the cooking process. At the same time, it also avoids the possibility of burns during the cleaning process, making it safer for users to use.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the end of the housing 1 is provided with an annular step 14. The coil 43 is screwed to the annular step 14. An annular groove 141 is provided in the annular step 14. The heat-conducting plate 5 is placed on the annular step 14 and the annular groove 141 to support the heat-conducting plate 5. The annular groove 141 can be used to store grease that seeps into the connection between the heat-conducting plate 5 and the housing 1 or liquid that seeps into the housing 1 during cleaning, so as to prevent oil from dripping directly into the housing 1 and causing inconvenience for cleaning. It should be noted that the heat-conducting plate 5 is tightly connected to the end of the housing 1. The connection method can be snap-fit, glued, or screwed, so that when the user tilts or inverts the cooking machine of this utility model during transportation, the heat-conducting plate 5 will not detach from the housing 1, thereby improving the safety of the cooking machine during use.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the second heating component 4 also includes a main control board 41 and a radiator 42 electrically connected to the coil 43. The radiator 42 is used to dissipate heat from the main control board 41. Since the coil 43 is close to the pot, some of the heat generated by the pot will be transferred downwards during use. In order to avoid affecting the use of the main control board 41, the radiator 42 is provided next to the main control board 41 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the main control board 41.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, in order to make this cooking machine suitable for more cookware of different sizes, the present invention extends the heat-conducting plate 5 appropriately to the rear of the shell 1, so that the width L1 of the heat-conducting plate 5 is greater than the width L2 of the front and rear walls of the shell 1, thereby increasing the area of ​​the heat-conducting plate 5, which also increases the contact surface between the heat-conducting plate 5 and the cookware, making the cookware more stable to place and more comfortable to use.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, since the first heating component 3 and the second heating component 4 generate a large amount of heat during use, in order to avoid excessive heat accumulation in the housing 1 and causing overheating damage to the main control board 41 and other components, the second heating component 4 is disposed in the heat dissipation cavity 11. The heat dissipation cavity 11 is provided with a drive component 6, which includes a motor 61, a cooling fan 62 and an impeller 63. When the motor 61 operates, it synchronously drives the cooling fan 62 and the impeller 63 to rotate. Under the action of the cooling fan 62 and the impeller 63, the air flow speed in the housing 1 can be increased, thereby dissipating heat for the first heating component 3 and the second heating component 4.

[0039] Furthermore, since the first heating component 3 generates heat by energizing the food in the pot 2, a heat insulation cover 15 is provided between the heat dissipation cavity 11 and the first heating component 3 to improve heat utilization and prevent excessive heat transfer into the heat dissipation cavity 11. The first heating component 3, the cooling fan 62, and the impeller 63 are all located inside the heat insulation cover 15. The output shaft of the motor 61 passes through the heat insulation cover 15 and is connected to the cooling fan 62 and the impeller 63 in sequence. The top of the heat insulation cover 15 is also provided with a through hole communicating with the heat dissipation cavity 11. Therefore, when the cooling fan 62 rotates, it can simultaneously drive the flow of heat in the heat dissipation cavity 11 to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0040] Furthermore, the heat insulation cover 15 is also provided with a heat insulation layer 16, which is disposed between the cooling fan 62 and the impeller 63. The first heating component 3 is disposed within the heat insulation layer 16, wherein the first heating component 3 is disposed around the impeller 63 and screwed to the inner wall of the heat insulation layer 16. In this embodiment, the first heating component 3 is a heating wire. When the heating wire heats up, most of the heat generated will accumulate in the heat insulation layer 16 and the pot body 2. At the same time, the rotation of the impeller 63 can transfer heat into the pot body 2, so that the pot body 2 is heated evenly and the cooked food is more delicious.

[0041] Preferably, a partition net 161 is provided between the first heating component 3 and the pot body 2. The first heating component 3 and the impeller 63 are both installed above the partition net 161. The partition net 161 can block the grease and water vapor splashed during air frying of food, reduce the grease contamination on the first heating component 3 and the impeller 63, and prevent it from affecting normal use. In addition, the partition net 161 is detachably connected to the shell 1, which also facilitates later cleaning and makes it safer for users to use.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rear wall of the housing 1 is provided with a first heat dissipation hole 17 at the position of the first heating component 3. The first heat dissipation hole 17 is connected to the first heating component 3. The heat insulation cover 15 and the heat insulation layer 16 are respectively provided with exhaust port A and exhaust port B. The exhaust port A and exhaust port B are respectively connected to the first heat dissipation hole 17, and the opening area of ​​the exhaust port A is much larger than the opening area of ​​the exhaust port B. The setting of the first heat dissipation hole 17 can not only allow the heat transferred upward from the first heating component 3 to be discharged into the first heat dissipation hole 17 in a timely manner under the rotation of the cooling fan 62, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect, but also has a pressure relief effect on the heat inside the pot body 2, preventing the gas inside the pot body 2 from expanding excessively and damaging the product.

[0043] like Figure 9 As shown, the second heat dissipation hole 18 is connected to the second heating component 4, that is, connected to the heat dissipation cavity 11, so that the heat in the heat dissipation cavity 11 can be discharged through the second heat dissipation hole 18. It should be noted that since the motor 61 and the main control board 41 and other components are mainly located in the heat dissipation cavity 11, the area of ​​the second heat dissipation hole 18 is much larger than the area of ​​the first heat dissipation hole 17, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect in the heat dissipation cavity 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the cooking machine of this utility model and improving its service life.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 10As shown, the heat dissipation cavity 11 is also provided with a control panel 7 that is electrically connected to the first heating component 3 and the second heating component 4 respectively. The control panel 7 is provided with adjustment keys 71. Users can control the use of the first heating component 3 and / or the second heating component 4 by adjusting the adjustment keys 71 or touching the control panel 7, and intuitively select the desired function for adjustment, thereby enhancing the enjoyment of cooking.

[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 11 As shown, the rear wall of the housing 1 is also provided with a limiting block 19 extending toward the heating cavity 12. The limiting block 19 is fixedly connected or screwed to the housing 1. The limiting block 19 is provided with a limiting cavity 191. The pot body 2 is provided with a protrusion 21 that matches the limiting cavity 191. When the pot body 2 is placed into the heating cavity 12, the protrusion 21 engages with the limiting cavity 191 and restricts the pot body 2 so that it cannot move backward, so as to remind the user that the pot body 2 has been placed in place.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is explained in detail below:

[0047] In use, the user can start the cooking machine through the control panel 7 and select either the air frying function or the steaming / frying function as needed, or use both simultaneously. When using the air frying function, the first heating component 3 will heat up, the drive component 6 will start, and the second heating component 4 will be disconnected from the control panel 7. The heat generated by the first heating component 3 can make the air inside the pot 2 heat up more evenly under the rotation of the impeller 63, so that the food is heated evenly. At the same time, its heat can be discharged through the first heat dissipation hole 17 and the second heat dissipation hole 18. When using the steaming / frying function, the user can place different types and sizes of pots on the heat-conducting plate 5 as needed. The pots will generate heat under the electromagnetic induction of the second heating component 4, so that the bottom of the pot will heat up quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the food and realizing the steaming / frying function, making it more practical.

[0048] After cooking, the heat-conducting plate 5 will be covered with grease or food residue. At this time, the user can easily clean the residue by sweeping it out from the notch 13 with a cleaning brush, without having to pick up the residue directly with their hands, thus avoiding direct contact between the hands and the residue. If any cleaning liquid or grease seeps into the housing 1 during this process, it will be stored in the annular groove 141 instead of dripping directly into the housing 1, making cleaning more convenient for the user.

[0049] The innovation of this invention lies in replacing the single frying pan with a coil and a heating plate. By energizing the coil, a magnetic field is generated, causing magnetic lines of force to pass through the heating plate and create eddy currents at the bottom of the cookware, thus rapidly heating the cookware and enabling the cooking machine to perform steaming, boiling, and frying functions. It is also compatible with various cookware, increasing the versatility and practicality of the cooking machine. Furthermore, a notch is provided at the top of the shell, which, along with a second heat dissipation hole, is located on the adjacent or opposite end wall of the outer perimeter of the shell, preventing liquid from entering the shell through the heat dissipation hole. Additionally, food residue or wastewater adhering to the heating plate can be directly swept out through this notch, avoiding direct contact between hands and residue, making cleaning easier and safer, allowing users to better enjoy the cooking experience. Moreover, an annular groove is provided under the heating plate to store oil that seeps into the heating plate, facilitating cleaning and preventing oil from falling onto internal parts of the shell, thus extending the lifespan of the cooking machine.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
