[0006] The enclosure includes a first cavity and a second cavity, which are arranged side-by-side vertically or horizontally. The enclosure also includes an air blasting component corresponding to the first cavity and a heating component corresponding to the second cavity. The enclosure is provided with an air outlet communicating with the first cavity and a steam outlet communicating with the second cavity.

[0007] An air fryer inner pot is disposed within the first cavity;

[0008] The inner pot for steaming and cooking is located inside the second cavity.

[0009] A further embodiment: the first cavity and the second cavity are arranged side by side, one above the other, with the first cavity located above the second cavity.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution: the first cavity and the second cavity are arranged side by side, making their lateral dimensions smaller, thereby reducing the lateral space occupied in the kitchen.

[0011] A further solution: A partition is provided between the first cavity and the second cavity, and the partition is provided with a first vent for steam from the second cavity to enter the first cavity.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution: the above setting allows some of the steam discharged from the lower steaming inner pot to enter the upper first cavity through the first air hole when the air frying function and the steaming function are used at the same time. Then the steam is blown onto the food inside the air frying inner pot with the hot air circulation, thereby replenishing the food with water and achieving tender baking.

[0013] A further solution: The partition is equipped with a switch to open or close the first air hole.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a switch to open or close the first vent, the second cavity can be connected to the first cavity by opening the first vent, and steam can be delivered into the first cavity; when the first vent is closed, the second cavity is separated from the first cavity, and the two cavities cook food separately.

[0015] A further embodiment: the switch is a knob located below the partition and rotatably connected to the partition, with a second air hole and a sealing part provided around the knob; the second air hole communicates with the second cavity;

[0016] The knob has an open state and a closed state; when the knob is in the open state, the knob rotates to the point where the second air hole communicates with the first air hole; when the knob is in the closed state, the knob rotates to the point where the sealing part blocks the first air hole.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a knob, users can easily operate the knob to open or close the first air vent.

[0018] A further proposed solution: both the first vent and the second vent have two vents;

[0019] The lower side of the partition is provided with a connector that is fixedly connected to the partition, and the knob is rotatably connected to the connector; the lower side of the connector is provided with two guide posts, the knob is provided with two guide holes, the two guide posts are respectively located in the two guide holes, and the lower end of the guide posts is provided with a stop to prevent the knob from disengaging from the connector; the connector is provided with two clearance holes.

[0020] A sealing element is provided between the partition and the connector. The sealing element has two sealing rings. The upper ends of the two sealing rings are respectively connected to the two first air holes, and the lower ends of the two sealing rings are respectively set through the two clearance holes.

[0021] When the knob is in the open state, the knob rotates to the point where the two second air holes communicate with the lower ends of the two sealing rings; when the knob is in the closed state, the knob rotates to the point where the sealing part blocks the lower ends of the two sealing rings.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a sealing element, good sealing performance can be achieved when the first air hole is closed, thereby isolating the second cavity from the first cavity; by setting a stop element at the lower end of the guide post, the knob and the connecting part are axially limited, preventing the knob from disengaging and making it more stable.

[0023] A further embodiment: The partition has a downwardly recessed portion in the middle, and the first air hole is disposed on the recessed portion; the bottom of the air fryer inner pot has an upwardly recessed portion, and when the air fryer inner pot is located in the first cavity, the upper recessed portion and the recessed portion form a cavity that communicates with the first cavity.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a downwardly recessed part in the middle of the partition and an upwardly recessed part at the bottom of the air fryer inner pot, a cavity is formed between the two. The cavity facilitates the full diffusion of steam, thereby allowing it to fully contact the circulating hot air. When the air fryer inner pot is placed in the first cavity, the steam can first enter the cavity through the first air hole, and then be blown onto the food inside the air fryer inner pot with the hot air circulation, replenishing the food with moisture.

[0025] A further embodiment: the air fryer assembly is located on the upper side of the air fryer inner pot, and the air fryer assembly includes a hot air hood, a hot air fan and heating tube located on the lower side of the hot air hood, a cold air hood located on the upper side of the hot air hood, a cold air fan located between the cold air hood and the hot air hood, and a fan motor located on the cold air hood.

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a cooking appliance with both air-frying and steaming functions, including:

[0052] The housing 1 contains a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12, which are arranged side by side vertically or side by side. The housing 1 also contains an air blasting component corresponding to the first cavity 11 and a heating component 5 corresponding to the second cavity 12. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 14 communicating with the first cavity 11 and a steam outlet 15 communicating with the second cavity 12.

[0053] An air fryer inner pot 2 is disposed inside the first cavity 11. When the air fryer assembly is in operation, it is used to heat the food inside the air fryer inner pot 2.

[0054] The inner pot 3 is located inside the second cavity 12. When the heating component 5 is working, it heats the inner pot 3, and the steam released from the inner pot 3 is discharged through the steam outlet 15.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, in order to reduce the lateral dimension of the entire box 1 so that it occupies less space when placed in the kitchen, the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 are preferably arranged side by side, with the first cavity 11 located on the upper side of the second cavity 12.

[0056] Among them, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, a partition 13 is provided between the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12. The partition 13 is provided with a first vent 131 for steam from the second cavity 12 to enter the first cavity 11. When the air frying component in the first cavity 11 and the heating component 5 in the second cavity 12 are working at the same time, some of the steam discharged from the lower steaming inner pot 3 will enter the upper first cavity 12 through the first vent 131. Then, the steam will be blown onto the food inside the air frying inner pot 2 with the hot air circulation, thereby replenishing the water and achieving tender roasting.

[0057] To facilitate opening or closing the first vent 131 as needed, the partition 13 is equipped with a switch for opening or closing the first vent 131. Opening the first vent 131 allows the second cavity 12 to communicate with the first cavity 11, while closing the first vent 131 isolates the second cavity 12 from the first cavity 11.

[0058] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the switch is a knob 19 located below the partition 13 and rotatably connected to the partition 13. A second air hole 192 and a sealing part are provided around the knob 19; the second air hole 192 communicates with the second cavity 12.

[0059] The knob 19 has an open state and a closed state. When the knob 19 is in the open state, it is rotated until the second vent 192 communicates with the first vent 131, that is, the second cavity 12 communicates with the first cavity 11. When the knob 19 is in the closed state, it is rotated until the sealing part blocks the first vent 131. At this time, the second cavity 12 is disconnected from the first cavity 11, and the steam released from the inner pot 3 in the second cavity 12 cannot enter the first cavity 11. To facilitate user operation, a lever part 191 is provided below the knob 19, so that the user can easily rotate the knob 19.

[0060] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, there are two first vents 131 and two second vents 192. When the two first vents 131 are connected to the two second vents 192 respectively, the steam in the second cavity 12 can enter the first cavity 11 more efficiently.

[0061] The lower side of the partition 13 is provided with a connector 18 fixedly connected to the partition 13, and the knob 19 is rotatably connected to the connector 18. The lower side of the connector 18 is provided with two guide posts 182, and the knob 19 is provided with two guide holes 193. The two guide posts 182 are respectively located in the two guide holes 193, and the lower end of the guide post 182 is provided with a stop to prevent the knob 19 from disengaging from the connector 18. The stop can be a screw head or nut passing through the guide post 182. The guide hole 193 is arc-shaped and has two ends. When the knob 19 is rotated so that the guide post 182 abuts against one end, the second air hole 192 communicates with the first air hole 131. When the knob 19 is rotated so that the guide post 182 abuts against the other end, the second air hole 192 is disconnected from the first air hole 131, thereby reminding the user whether the operation is in place. The connector 18 is provided with two clearance holes 181.

[0062] A sealing element 17 is provided between the partition 13 and the connector 18. The sealing element 17 is provided with two sealing rings 171. The upper ends of the two sealing rings 171 are respectively connected to the two first air holes 131, specifically, they are sleeved on the outside of the first air holes 131 and coaxial with the first air holes 131. The lower ends of the two sealing rings 171 are respectively provided through two relief holes 181, specifically, the lower ends of the sealing rings 171 are turned outward and overlapped on the outside of the relief holes 181. The connector 18 can be fixedly connected to the partition 13 by screws, thereby clamping and fixing the sealing element 17 between the connector 18 and the partition 13.

[0063] When the knob 19 is in the open state, the knob 19 rotates to the point where the two second air holes 192 are connected to the lower ends of the two sealing rings 171. At this time, the second air holes 192 are connected to the first air hole 131 through the sealing rings 171, thereby realizing the connection between the second cavity 12 and the first cavity 11. When the knob 19 is in the closed state, the knob 19 rotates to the point where the sealing part blocks the lower ends of the two sealing rings 171. At this time, the second air holes 192 are disconnected from the sealing rings 171, thereby disconnecting the connection between the second cavity 12 and the first cavity 11.

[0064] To ensure efficient hydration of the food by the steam entering the first cavity 11 from the second cavity 12, the partition 13 has a downwardly recessed portion 132 in its center, with the first vent 131 positioned on the recessed portion 132. The bottom of the air fryer inner pot 2 has an upwardly recessed portion 21. When the air fryer inner pot 2 is located within the first cavity 11, the upper recess 21 and the recessed portion 132 form a concave cavity 8 connecting to the first cavity 11. When steam from the second cavity 12 enters the concave cavity 8 through the first vent 131, the concave cavity 8 facilitates full steam diffusion, allowing for thorough contact with the circulating hot air. The steam then circulates and blows onto the food inside the air fryer inner pot 2, hydrating the food.

[0065] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air fryer assembly is located on the upper side of the air fryer inner pot 2, and the air fryer assembly includes a hot air hood 41, a hot air fan 43 and a heating tube 46 located on the lower side of the hot air hood 41, a cold air hood 42 located on the upper side of the hot air hood 41, a cold air fan 44 located between the cold air hood 42 and the hot air hood 41, and a fan motor 45 located on the cold air hood 42.

[0066] The output shaft of the fan motor 45 is connected to the hot fan 43 and the cold fan 44. Specifically, the air fryer assembly is located on the upper side of the air fryer inner pot 2. The hot air hood 41 has a hot air chamber 411 communicating with the first cavity 11. The hot fan 43 and the heating tube 46 are both located in the hot air chamber 411, and the heating tube 46 can be arranged in a ring shape. A cold air chamber 421 is provided between the hot air hood 41 and the cold air hood 42, and the cold fan 44 is arranged in the cold air chamber 421. The fan motor 45 is arranged on the cold air hood 42, and the output shaft of the fan motor 45 is connected to the hot fan 43 and the cold fan 44. The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 16 communicating with the cold air chamber 421 for the cold fan 44 to draw air from the outside.

[0067] The heating component 5 is located on the lower side of the second cavity 12, and can be a heating tube 46. Specifically, a heating cavity is provided on the lower side of the second cavity 12, and the heating tube 46 is located inside the heating cavity.

[0068] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, a mesh cover 9 connected to the lower side of the hot air hood is provided, and the hot air fan 43 and the heating element 46 are both located on the upper side of the mesh cover 9. Specifically, the mesh cover 9 is connected to the hot air hood by several connecting posts and screws passing through the connecting posts. The mesh cover 9 has mesh holes to facilitate the passage of hot air. Due to the presence of the mesh cover 9, the heating element 46 and the hot air fan 43 can be protected, preventing accidental impact to the heating element 46 and the hot air fan 43 by the user.

[0069] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air outlet 14 and the steam outlet 15 are preferably located on the rear side of the housing 1. Specifically, the air outlet 14 is located on the rear side of the housing 1 and faces upwards. A hot air outlet channel 6 is provided between the air outlet 14 and the hot air chamber 411, and a cold air outlet channel 7 is provided between the air outlet 14 and the cold air chamber 421. This allows the hot air, which is at a higher temperature, discharged from the hot air chamber 411, and the cold air, which is at a lower temperature, discharged from the cold air chamber 421 to mix at the air outlet 14. The temperature of the mixed air is lower than that of the hot air directly discharged from the hot air chamber 411. The upward orientation of the air outlet 14 avoids direct airflow onto the wall, which could cause a temperature rise. The air outlet 14 extends rearward from the rear side wall of the housing 1, thus separating it from the rear wall of the housing 1. The steam outlet 15 is located on the rear side wall of the housing 1. Under the action of the air outlet 14, the steam outlet 15 is separated from the rear wall by a certain space, which facilitates the discharge of steam.

[0070] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 5As shown, in order to facilitate user operation of taking out and putting in the air fryer inner pot 2 or the steaming inner pot 3, the front side of the first cavity 11 is provided with a first inlet and outlet for the air fryer inner pot 2 to enter and exit the first cavity 11; the front side of the second cavity 12 is provided with a second inlet and outlet for the steaming inner pot 3 to enter and exit the second cavity 12.

[0071] The air fryer inner pot 2 is a drawer-type fryer.

[0072] The inner pot 3 is a drawer-type inner pot, and the inner pot 3 includes a front panel 31 with a handle, a cooking pot body 32 located behind the front panel 31, and a cooking pot lid 33 set on the cooking pot body 32. A steaming rack 34 can also be set inside the cooking pot body 32 to realize the cooking function. The cooking pot lid 33 is provided with an exhaust valve 331 to release steam to the outside during the cooking process and regulate the air pressure.

[0073] Working principle explanation:

[0074] Users can use the air fryer inner pot 2 to cook food that can be heated by air frying, and can also use the steaming inner pot 3 to steam or stew food. By using both the air frying and steaming functions at the same time, more food can be heated at once, thus better meeting people's daily dietary needs and saving users' cooking time.

[0075] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
