Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen cooking appliances, specifically relating to an air vent mesh and air fryer head for cooking appliances. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air fryers are commonly used in kitchens for cooking. When an air fryer is working, it heats the food using circulating hot air, utilizing the food's own oils to fry it, dehydrating it and turning it golden brown and crispy, achieving an effect similar to traditional deep-frying. During this process, the moisture released from the food turns into steam and is expelled to the outside through the hot air outlet. However, in existing air fryers, the air vent connected to the fryer head typically has only a single hot air outlet. This means the hot air outlet not only faces one direction but also has low airflow efficiency, resulting in low steam expulsion efficiency and therefore low cooking efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides an air vent mesh and air fryer head for cooking appliances, aiming to solve the problem that the design of the hot air outlet on the air vent mesh of the existing air fryer is unreasonable, resulting in low hot air output efficiency and low food cooking efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an air vent mesh for cooking appliances, comprising a housing, wherein the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the air inlet is provided with a cold air inlet and a hot air inlet; the air outlet is provided with a cold air outlet and a hot air outlet, wherein a cold air channel is provided between the cold air inlet and the cold air outlet; and a hot air channel is provided between the hot air inlet and the hot air outlet.

[0006] The hot air outlet includes at least a first hot air outlet that blows air upwards and a second hot air outlet that blows air downwards.

[0007] A further embodiment: the air inlet is located in front of the air outlet, and both the hot air channel and the cold air channel extend from front to back.

[0008] A further embodiment: The rear end of the lower sidewall of the hot air channel is provided with an arc-shaped air guide that transitions from back to top and protrudes backward, the second hot air outlet is disposed on the arc-shaped air guide, and the first hot air outlet is disposed on the upper side of the arc-shaped air guide.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution: by setting an arc-shaped air guide that gradually curves upward at the rear end of the lower side wall of the hot air channel, the hot air is guided upward, so that part of the hot air is discharged through the first hot air outlet and part of the hot air is discharged through the second hot air outlet. This is conducive to the hot air being dispersed and discharged from the two hot air outlets, avoiding the hot air being concentrated at one hot air outlet, and also making the exhaust smoother, avoiding hot air backflow and turbulence.

[0010] A further embodiment: the housing is also provided with a windbreak, and the windbreak is located behind the second hot air outlet, with the lower end of the windbreak lower than the lower end of the second hot air outlet.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution: by setting the windbreak part behind the second hot air outlet, the hot air discharged from the second hot air outlet is turned to be discharged downwards, avoiding the problem of the hot air blown out of the second hot air outlet blowing onto the rear wall and causing the wall temperature to rise too high, which meets the safety requirements.

[0012] A further solution: a reinforcing rib is provided between the arc-shaped air guide and the windproof part.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution: reinforcing ribs make the structure more stable.

[0014] A further solution: the windbreak is a windbreak plate extending from top to bottom.

[0015] A further embodiment: the cold air outlet is located in front of the first hot air outlet, and the cold air outlet faces upwards.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: the cold air outlet faces upwards, so that the cold air discharged from the cold air outlet can mix with the hot air discharged from the first hot air outlet. The temperature of the mixed air is lower than that of the air directly discharged from the first hot air outlet, which helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the hot air.

[0017] A further embodiment: the cold air channel is located above the hot air channel, and the cold air inlet is located above the hot air inlet.

[0018] A further solution: a partition wall is provided on the rear side of the housing.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution: when an air fryer using the air outlet net of this utility model is placed in the kitchen, the partition can be separated from the hot air outlet by a certain distance, avoiding the problem of the hot air being too close to the wall and causing the wall temperature to rise too high. In addition, the partition is separated from the wall at a certain distance on the back side of the air fryer, which can avoid the heat accumulation and help improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the hot air.

[0020] A further option: there are several cold air outlets, a first hot air outlet, and a second hot air outlet.

[0021] Based on the above technical solution: the above settings further improve the hot air exhaust efficiency, thereby making the steam exhaust efficiency higher and the food cooking efficiency higher.

[0022] Secondly, this utility model provides an air fryer head, including a hot air hood, a cold air hood located above the hot air hood, and an air outlet net for cooking appliances as described in any of the solutions in the first aspect; the air outlet net is located at the rear side of the air fryer head;

[0023] A hot air cavity is provided on the lower side of the hot air hood, and a cold air cavity is provided between the cold air hood and the hot air hood. The hot air cavity is connected to the hot air inlet, and the cold air cavity is connected to the cold air inlet.

[0024] The cold air cover is equipped with a fan motor, the hot air cavity is equipped with a hot fan, the cold air cavity is equipped with a cold fan, and the hot fan and the cold fan are coaxially mounted on the fan motor.

[0025] Based on the above technical solution: the air fryer head has an increased hot air outlet, which increases the hot air exhaust efficiency, thereby increasing the steam exhaust efficiency, accelerating the food dehydration efficiency, and further improving the food cooking efficiency.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] The air vent of this invention features a hot air inlet that connects to the cooking chamber. This allows steam generated during food dehydration within the cooking chamber to enter the hot air channel through the inlet and then exit through the outlet. The hot air outlet includes at least a first upward-facing outlet and a second downward-facing outlet, enabling steam from the hot air chamber to be simultaneously discharged through both outlets. This increased number of outlets enhances the air fryer's hot air exhaust efficiency, thereby increasing steam removal efficiency, accelerating food dehydration, and further improving overall cooking efficiency.

[0028] The first hot air outlet faces upwards, and the second hot air outlet faces downwards. This not only avoids the problem of hot air blowing directly onto the wall and causing the wall temperature to rise too high, but also allows the hot air to be discharged in a dispersed manner, avoiding the problem of concentrated heat dissipation and low heat dissipation efficiency caused by hot air being discharged in the same direction, making the structural design more reasonable.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] 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.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides an air vent mesh for a cooking appliance, including a housing 1, which has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet has a cold air inlet 11 and a hot air inlet 12. The air outlet has a cold air outlet 15 and a hot air outlet. A cold air channel 13 is provided between the cold air inlet 11 and the cold air outlet 15. A hot air channel 14 is provided between the hot air inlet 12 and the hot air outlet.

[0040] The hot air outlets include at least a first hot air outlet 16 that exits upwards and a second hot air outlet 17 that exits downwards. There are multiple cold air outlets 15, first hot air outlets 16, and second hot air outlets 17. Specifically, there are three cold air outlets 15 arranged in a row along the left-right direction, two rows of first hot air outlets 16, each row containing three outlets arranged in the left-right direction, and three second hot air outlets 17 arranged in a row along the left-right direction.

[0041] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air inlet is located in front of the air outlet, and both the hot air channel 14 and the cold air channel 13 extend from front to back. Several connecting parts are provided around the air inlet for connecting to the air fryer head or the air fryer body. Specifically, the air outlet mesh can be fixed to the air fryer using snap-fit ​​and screw connections.

[0042] In order to facilitate the dispersion of hot air from the first hot air outlet 16 and the second hot air outlet 17, a preferred embodiment is that the rear end of the lower sidewall of the hot air channel 14 is provided with an arc-shaped air guide that transitions upward and protrudes backward. The second hot air outlet 17 is disposed on the arc-shaped air guide, and the first hot air outlet 16 is disposed on the upper side of the arc-shaped air guide, specifically as a plurality of first hot air outlets 16 extending upward. A portion of the hot air passing through the hot air channel 14 is discharged downward through the second hot air outlet 17, while the remainder is discharged upward through the first hot air outlets 16.

[0043] Since the second hot air outlet 17 is located on the arc-shaped air guide, to prevent the hot air blown from the second hot air outlet 17 from blowing directly towards the rear wall, this embodiment also provides a wind baffle 18 on the housing 1. The wind baffle 18 is located behind the second hot air outlet 17, and the lower end of the wind baffle 18 is lower than the lower end of the second hot air outlet 17. The wind baffle 18 forms a barrier between the second hot air outlet 17 and the rear wall, preventing the hot air discharged from the second hot air outlet 17 from blowing directly towards the wall and causing the wall temperature to rise. The wind baffle 18 is preferably a baffle plate, extending from top to bottom, thereby guiding the hot air discharged from the second hot air outlet 17 downwards.

[0044] To make the air outlet structure more stable, a reinforcing rib 19 is provided between the arc-shaped air guide and the wind baffle 18. Specifically, reinforcing ribs 19 are provided on the left and right sides of the rear of each second hot air outlet 17 between it and the wind baffle 18, which can effectively prevent the arc-shaped air guide from deforming.

[0045] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cold air outlet 15 is located in front of the first hot air outlet 16, and the cold air outlet 15 faces upwards. Specifically, the cold air discharged from the cold air outlet 15 can mix with the hot air discharged from the first hot air outlet 16. The temperature of the mixed air is lower than that of the air directly discharged from the first hot air outlet 16, which helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the hot air.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the cold air channel 13 is located above the hot air channel 14, and the cold air inlet 11 is located above the hot air inlet 12. The cold air channel 13 extends from front to back, and the hot air channel 14 extends from front to back.

[0047] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, to further prevent the hot air from the hot air outlet from affecting the rear wall, a partition wall 20 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The partition wall 20 is a partition plate located on the rear side wall of the housing 1 and extending from front to back. Specifically, when the air fryer using the air outlet net of this embodiment is placed in the kitchen, the partition wall 20 is located on the rear side of the air fryer. The partition wall 20 can separate the hot air outlet from the wall by a certain distance, avoiding the problem of the wall temperature rising too high due to the hot air being too close to the wall. Furthermore, the partition wall 20, being separated from the wall on the rear side of the air fryer by a certain distance, can prevent heat from accumulating and helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the hot air.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air fryer head, including a hot air hood 3, a cold air hood 2 located on the upper side of the hot air hood 3, and an air outlet net for cooking appliances as described in any of the solutions in Embodiment 1; the air outlet net is located on the rear side of the air fryer head;

[0050] A hot air chamber 31 is provided on the lower side of the hot air hood 3, and a cold air chamber 21 is provided between the cold air hood 2 and the hot air hood 3. The hot air chamber 31 is connected to the hot air inlet 12, and the cold air chamber 21 is connected to the cold air inlet 11. Specifically, the cooking chamber of the air fryer including the air fryer head is connected to the hot air chamber 31. A first channel is provided between the hot air chamber 31 and the hot air inlet 12, and a second channel is provided between the cold air chamber 21 and the cold air inlet 11. The air outlet mesh is fixedly connected to the air fryer head, specifically by means of snap-fit ​​or screws.

[0051] The cold air cover 2 is equipped with a fan motor 4, the hot air chamber 31 is equipped with a hot air fan 32, and the cold air chamber 21 is equipped with a cold air fan 22. The hot air fan 32 and the cold air fan 22 are coaxially mounted on the fan motor 4. The hot air chamber 31 is also equipped with a heating element 33, which is suspended on the lower side of the hot air cover 3 by a fixing member.

[0052] Working principle explanation:

[0053] When the hot air fan 32 is working, it generates hot air that blows onto the food inside the cooking chamber. The steam generated during the dehydration of the food is exhausted outwards through the first hot air outlet 16 and the second hot air outlet 17. Due to the addition of the second hot air outlet 17, the steam exhaust efficiency is higher, resulting in higher food dehydration efficiency and better cooking. For example, when cooking French fries, the dehydration rate meets the standard while the cooking time is further shortened.

[0054] 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.
