Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] refer to Figure 1-6 As shown:

[0032] Example 1: This utility model provides an air duct shell for an air fryer, comprising:

[0033] The air duct shell body 1 has a fixing groove on its outer ring wall;

[0034] Connecting rod 5, which is inserted into the fixing groove;

[0035] Fixed cylinder 4 is located at the bottom of the outer ring wall of the air duct shell body 1, and one end of the fixed cylinder 4 near the air duct shell body 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 5.

[0036] It should be noted that the top mounting space of the air duct shell body 1 is a combination of circular and trapezoidal shapes. The connecting rod 5 is inserted into the fixing groove. One end of the connecting rod 5 passes through the fixing groove and is inserted into the mounting hole of the air fryer. The fixing cylinder 4 is set at the bottom of the outer side of the air duct shell body 1. The end of the fixing cylinder 4 near the air duct shell body 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 5. The air duct shell body 1 is placed on the top of the frying basket so that the outer side of the air duct shell body 1 contacts the air fryer. The fixing cylinder 4 is pushed so that the connecting rod 5 is inserted into the fixing groove and the mounting hole of the air fryer through the fixing cylinder 4. The sliding rod 10 is fixed in the mounting hole through the locking part, thereby fixing the air duct shell body 1 to the air fryer.

[0037] The air duct shell body 1 has an exhaust port 2 on its surface, which is used to release water vapor inside the air fryer.

[0038] It should be noted that the exhaust port 2 is located on one side of the top of the air duct shell body 1. The exhaust port 2 is used to discharge the water vapor generated when the air fryer heats the food, so as to avoid water vapor remaining in the air fryer and causing uneven heating of the food.

[0039] In embodiment two, the present invention provides a locking mechanism, which is applied to the air duct shell of an air fryer in embodiment one. The locking mechanism is disposed inside the connecting rod 5 and includes a locking part and a pushing part. The locking part is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 away from the fixed cylinder 4, and the pushing part is disposed inside the connecting rod 5 and is used to push the locking part to move.

[0040] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes:

[0041] One end of the multiple elastic rods 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 away from the fixed cylinder 4, and the other ends of the multiple elastic rods 6 are close to each other.

[0042] Locking block 7 is fixedly installed on the end of elastic rod 6 away from connecting rod 5;

[0043] Furthermore, the pushing part includes a sliding rod 10, which is slidably inserted into the connecting rod 5, and one end of the sliding rod 10 extends out of the connecting rod 5 and is slidably connected to the elastic rod 6;

[0044] It should be noted that the elastic rods 6 are made of elastic material, and multiple elastic rods 6 are arranged in a circle. One end of each elastic rod 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 away from the fixed cylinder 4, and the other ends of the multiple elastic rods 6 are close to each other. Multiple locking blocks 7 are respectively fixedly installed on the ends of the multiple elastic rods 6 away from the connecting rod 5. The sliding rod 10 is inserted into the connecting rod 5 and slides against the inner wall of the multiple elastic rods 6. The outer edge of the air duct shell body 1 is aligned with the installation position of the air fryer. The connecting rod 5 is inserted into the fixing groove and the installation hole of the air fryer. The sliding rod 10 is pushed to move, so that the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the fixed cylinder 4 moves between the multiple elastic rods 6, so that the ends of the elastic rods 6 away from the connecting rod 5 move away from each other. The movement of the elastic rods 6 makes the locking blocks 7 contact the inner wall of the installation hole of the air fryer, thereby fixing the air duct shell body 1 to the air fryer, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the air duct shell body 1.

[0045] Specifically, a pressing block 3 is rotatably inserted inside the fixed cylinder 4. A movable part is provided at one end of the pressing block 3 near the connecting cylinder, and the movable part is used to push the sliding rod 10 to move.

[0046] Furthermore, the mobile unit includes:

[0047] Push plate 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block near the connecting rod 5, and push plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4.

[0048] The movable plate 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the elastic rod 6. The movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 4. The end of the movable plate 9 away from the sliding rod 10 is in contact with the end of the push plate 8 away from the pressing block 3.

[0049] It should be noted that the pressing block 3 is rotatably inserted into the fixed cylinder 4. The end of the pressing block 3 near the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the push plate 8. The end of the sliding rod 10 near the mounting block is fixedly connected to the moving plate 9. The end of the moving plate 9 away from the sliding rod 10 is in contact with the end of the push plate 8 away from the pressing block 3. The outer walls of the moving plate 9 and the outer walls of the push plate 8 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4. The outer edge of the air duct shell body 1 is aligned with the installation position of the air fryer. The connecting rod 5 is inserted into the fixed groove and the mounting hole of the air fryer. Insert the connection, press and rotate the pressing block 3, drive the push plate 8 to move through the mounting block, drive the moving plate 9 to move through the push plate 8, and push the sliding rod 10 to move through the moving plate 9. This causes the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the fixed cylinder 4 to move between multiple elastic rods 6, causing the ends of the elastic rods 6 away from the connecting rod 5 to move away from each other. The movement of the elastic rods 6 causes the locking block 7 to contact the inner wall of the mounting hole of the air fryer, thereby fixing the air duct shell to the air fryer, simplifying the installation and disassembly process, and facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the air duct shell body 1.

[0050] A locking block 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 4. A slider 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pressing block 3 near the push plate 8. The slider 13 near the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the push plate 8. The slider 13 is engaged with the locking block 14.

[0051] It should be noted that the locking block 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 4. The surface of the locking block 14 is provided with a V-shaped groove. The slider 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting block near the push plate 8. One end of the slider 13 is fixedly connected to the push plate 8. The outer edge of the air duct shell body 1 is aligned with the installation position of the air fryer. The connecting rod 5 is inserted and connected to the fixing groove and the installation hole of the air fryer. Press and rotate the pressing block 3. The slider 13 is moved by the movement of the mounting block, so that the slider 13 moves into the V-shaped groove on the surface of the locking block 14, thereby restricting the position of the mounting block. The sliding rod 10 is pushed by the mounting block to move, so that the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the fixing cylinder 4 moves between multiple elastic rods 6, so that the ends of the elastic rods 6 away from the connecting rod 5 move away from each other. The movement of the elastic rods 6 makes the locking block 7 contact the inner wall of the installation hole of the air fryer, thereby fixing the air duct shell body 1 to the air fryer, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the air duct shell body 1.

[0052] A fixing block 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding rod 10 near the fixed cylinder 4. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 10. One end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 near the elastic rod 6, and the other end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 11 near the elastic rod 6.

[0053] It should be noted that multiple fixing blocks 11 are circumferentially distributed at one end of the sliding rod 10 near the fixing cylinder 4. The return spring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 10. One end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 11 near the elastic rod 6, and the other end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 near the elastic rod 6. When the air duct shell body 1 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, press and rotate the mounting block to move the slider 13 to the middle of the multiple locking blocks 14, thereby releasing the connection between the locking blocks 14 and the slider 13. The spring force of the return spring 12 pushes the fixing block 11 to move, and the movement of the fixing block 11 drives the sliding rod 10 to move into the connecting rod 5. Because the elastic rod 6 is made of elastic material, when the sliding rod 10 moves into the connecting rod 5, the end of the elastic rod 6 away from the connecting rod 5 moves closer to each other due to its own elasticity. The movement of the elastic rod 6 separates the locking block 7 from the mounting hole of the air fryer, thereby releasing the separation of the air duct shell body 1 from the air fryer. This simplifies the installation and disassembly process and facilitates subsequent cleaning.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
