Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a transparent, visual air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that uses high-speed hot air circulation technology to cook food. It generates high-temperature air through a heating element, which is then driven by a fan to circulate the hot air at high speed within a sealed space. This creates heat convection and radiation, evenly heating the food and simulating the frying effect. It allows cooking with little or no oil, making it a popular choice in modern kitchens.

[0003] Most mainstream air fryers currently use a fully enclosed metal shell. To allow users to observe the cooking status of the food inside the air fryer in real time, an observation window is usually set on the top or side. However, the glass in the observation window cannot effectively isolate heat radiation, causing the temperature of the outer shell around the observation window to rise, exceeding the temperature that is comfortable for human contact, thus posing a safety hazard.

[0004] In view of the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe there is a need to provide a transparent and visual air fryer. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to keep the air fryer visible during cooking while avoiding excessive heat in the outer shell, thereby improving safety, this application provides a transparent and visible air fryer.

[0006] The transparent and visual air fryer provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A transparent and visual air fryer includes an outer shell and a frying basket horizontally slidably mounted on the outer shell. The frying basket includes an inner pot for holding food, a support frame located outside the inner pot for fixing the inner pot, a transparent plate arranged between the inner pot and the support frame, an observation panel connected to the outer wall of the support frame, and a handle. The observation panel is made of a semi-transparent material. A transparent slot corresponding to the transparent plate is opened on the side of the inner pot near the handle. The support frame and the inner pot form a first mounting groove around the transparent slot, and a mounting frame for mounting the transparent plate is provided in the first mounting groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a transparent and visual air fryer is provided, allowing users to monitor the cooking status of food inside the basket in real time through the observation panel and transparent plate, thus improving ease of use and safety. The transparent plate is positioned between the inner pot and the support frame. The observation panel is made of a semi-transparent material, ensuring visibility while preventing direct heat radiation conduction. Compared to traditional observation window designs, this effectively reduces the temperature of the surrounding outer shell in the observation area, minimizing safety hazards and improving overall safety.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting frame is made of high-temperature resistant rubber.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting frame is made of high-temperature resistant rubber, which effectively improves the heat resistance of the mounting frame and avoids material deformation or damage due to high temperatures, thus ensuring the stable installation of the transparent panel in high-temperature cooking environments. Furthermore, the high-temperature resistant rubber also has good elasticity, which helps to buffer the stress caused by thermal expansion, further improving the reliability and service life of the structure.

[0011] Optionally, the mounting frame has a second mounting groove for the transparent panel to abut against.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second mounting slot in the mounting frame allows the transparent panel to be more securely installed within the transparent channel, preventing it from loosening or falling off during air fryer operation due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction. Simultaneously, the design of the second mounting slot ensures a tighter contact between the transparent panel and the mounting frame, effectively reducing hot air leakage, improving thermal efficiency, and enhancing cooking results. Furthermore, this design simplifies the assembly process of the transparent panel, improving product production efficiency and reliability.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting frame has a positioning portion that fits against the inner wall of the transparent slot and extends away from the transparent plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning part fits against the inner wall of the transparent groove and extends away from the transparent plate. The positioning part makes it easier for operators to position and install the frame and inner liner during assembly, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

[0015] Optionally, the observation panel is provided with a first threaded hole, and the support frame is provided with a first through hole and a first bolt that mates with the first threaded hole is provided in the first through hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection method between the observation panel and the support frame is disclosed. The observation panel and the support frame are connected by the first threaded hole of the observation panel and the first bolt of the support frame, which makes the connection strength of the two ideal, and at the same time facilitates disassembly and maintenance, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and ease of use of the blasting basket.

[0017] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a second threaded hole, and the inner liner is provided with a second through hole and a second bolt that mates with the second threaded hole is provided in the second through hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection method between the support frame and the inner pot is disclosed. The support frame and the inner pot of the air fryer are detachably connected through a second threaded hole and a second bolt. This design makes the assembly of the frying basket more convenient and improves the maintenance efficiency of the product.

[0019] Optionally, the top of the outer casing is provided with a third mounting groove, and a plurality of air inlet plates are provided circumferentially at intervals in the third mounting groove, with air inlet holes formed between adjacent air inlet plates.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the air fryer's outer shell is designed with a third mounting groove, which, together with the circumferentially spaced air inlet plates, naturally forms air inlet holes between adjacent air inlet plates, optimizing the air inlet structure layout of the air fryer. This design not only improves the air intake efficiency of hot air circulation but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0021] Optionally, the outer casing is provided with a connecting strip located above the air inlet plate, and the air inlet plate is provided with a positioning groove for mounting the connecting strip.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting strip is set on the outer shell and located above the air inlet plate, which can enhance the structural stability between the air inlet plates and prevent the air inlet plates from deforming or loosening during use, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable air intake effect of the air fryer. At the same time, the setting of the connecting strip can also improve the overall appearance and make the product design more beautiful and elegant.

[0023] Optionally, the outer casing has an air outlet groove on the side away from the handle and an air outlet grille in the air outlet groove. The air outlet grille has two oppositely arranged cable management ears on its short side for storing cables.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, an air vent is provided on the side of the air fryer away from the handle, and an air vent grille is installed in the air vent. Two oppositely arranged cable management lugs are provided on the short side of the air vent grille, which can effectively organize and store cables, preventing them from becoming tangled or scattered. This improves the overall aesthetics of the air fryer and also facilitates user operation and maintenance. In addition, this design can make full use of the space of the air vent grille, improving the compactness and practicality of the structure.

[0025] Optionally, the two said thread-supporting ears are folded in a direction away from each other to form a flange.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the two cable management tabs are designed with flanges facing away from each other, making it less likely for the cable to come out of the cable management tabs due to external force during storage. The flanges effectively prevent the cable from slipping out of the cable management tabs when storing the cable, improving the stability of cable storage and thus enhancing the ease of use of the air fryer.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. A transparent and visual air fryer, which visualizes the cooking process by setting a transparent plate and a semi-transparent observation panel in the frying basket, meets the user's need to observe the food status in real time, and avoids the problem of excessive heat radiation causing the outer shell temperature to rise in traditional observation window designs, thus improving the safety of use;

[0029] 2. The transparent panel is fixed to the perimeter of the viewing channel by a mounting frame. The mounting frame is made of high-temperature resistant rubber to ensure stable installation of the transparent panel in high-temperature cooking environments, which helps to improve the reliability and service life of the structure.

[0030] 3. By setting cable management ears on the air vent grille with flanges forming in a direction that keeps them away from each other, users can effectively organize and store the cable when the air fryer is not in use. At the same time, the cable is less likely to come out of the cable management ears due to external force during storage. Attached Figure Description
