Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air fryers, and in particular to a multi-capacity air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a new type of household appliance that uses high-speed, high-temperature air circulation technology to fry food.

[0003] Existing air fryers generally only have one frying drum. When cooking a large amount of food, if the frying drum is small, multiple cooking cycles are required, which is slow and inconvenient. If the frying drum is large, it is not suitable for cooking a small amount of food. However, using air fryers with different capacities results in relatively high operating costs. Therefore, designing an air fryer that allows users to select the appropriate frying drum size based on their cooking needs has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-capacity air fryer to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0006] According to one aspect of this utility model, a multi-capacity air fryer is designed, comprising: a base, a middle ring, a first frying bucket and a second frying bucket with different capacities, and a lid. The first frying bucket is placed inside the base, the middle ring is hinged or covered on the top of the base, and when the second frying bucket is placed inside the middle ring, its lower end is placed inside the first frying bucket. The lid is covered on the top of the middle ring, and a heating component for driving hot airflow into the second frying bucket or the first frying bucket to achieve cooking is provided inside the lid.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, when air-frying a small amount of food, the food is placed in the second frying drum, and the heating element drives hot airflow into the second frying drum to achieve air-frying of a small amount of food. When air-frying a large amount of food is required, the second frying drum is removed from the middle ring, and then the food is placed in the first frying drum. The heating element drives hot airflow into the first frying drum to achieve air-frying of a large amount of food. This can meet the cooking needs of different amounts of food and improve the practicality of the air fryer. In addition, compared with buying two air fryers of different capacities, it can reduce the cost of use. When the second frying drum is placed inside the middle ring, its lower end is placed inside the first frying drum, so there is no need for separate packaging, which can reduce product packaging and transportation costs.

[0008] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:

[0009] In some embodiments, the cover includes a cover shell and a heat reflector connected inside the cover shell. An air inlet is installed on the cover shell, and the air inlet has an air inlet hole that allows the outside to communicate with the inside of the heat reflector. The heating assembly includes a motor installed inside the cover shell, a hot air impeller located inside the heat reflector and connected to the motor shaft of the motor, and an electric heating tube located below the hot air impeller.

[0010] In some embodiments, the upper part of the cover shell has several first air inlets communicating with its interior, and the bottom has several first air outlets communicating with the first air inlets. A cooling fan connected to the motor shaft of the motor is located above the heat reflector. The lower part of the stepped groove in the middle ring has several second air inlets communicating with its interior, and the bottom has several second air outlets communicating with the second air inlets. The top of the base has several third air inlets communicating with its interior, and the bottom has several third air outlets communicating with the third air inlets. When the motor drives the cooling fan to rotate, external airflow enters through the first air inlets, passes through the first air outlet, second air inlets, second air outlet, and third air inlets, and exits through the third air outlet. Therefore, by driving the cooling fan to rotate, the fryer can be cooled, preventing excessive temperature from affecting its service life.

[0011] In some embodiments, the edge of the top of the second frying barrel is placed in the stepped groove, a metal mesh is fixed to the bottom of the heat reflector, and a silicone ring is inserted around the metal mesh. The silicone ring is pressed against the top of the second frying barrel or against the bottom of the stepped groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first pot handles at both ends of the first frying barrel are placed in the first receiving groove on the base, and the second pot handles at both ends of the second frying barrel are placed in the second receiving groove of the middle ring.

[0013] In some embodiments, multiple serrated notches are distributed around the lower end of the mounting housing. These serrated notches allow for better communication between the first air outlet and the second air inlet.

[0014] In some embodiments, the edge of the top of the first frying barrel is placed in a receiving groove on the base.

[0015] In some embodiments, an opening / closing button is movably connected to the central ring, and a buckle is provided on the top of the base. The opening / closing button engages with the buckle, and pressing the opening / closing button releases the engagement between the button and the buckle.

[0016] In some embodiments, the base, the first frying bucket, and the second frying bucket are all transparent. This allows observation of the cooking process of the food inside the frying buckets during air frying. Attached Figure Description
