Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen cooking, specifically to an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] Existing air fryers have relatively limited functionality. The structure of an air fryer mainly consists of a main body and a pot. The main body contains a cooking chamber, and the pot is detachably installed inside the cooking chamber. A heating module is located above the cooking chamber. The heating module dissipates heat and heats the airflow inside the cooking chamber, thereby air-frying and baking the food in the pot. Due to the limitations of the structure of the heating module, cooking chamber, and pot, air fryers are limited in function and cannot perform functions such as frying, steaming, or boiling. This results in low usage frequency and restricts the application scenarios of air fryers, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the aforementioned related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air fryer, mainly to solve the problem of the limited functionality of existing air fryers.

[0005] The present invention provides an air fryer, including a main body, a heating element disposed inside the main body, a first cavity disposed below the heating element, at least a portion of the first cavity being used to place a first cooking pot, and a second cavity disposed above the heating element, at least a portion of the second cavity being used to place a second cooking pot.

[0006] When the first cooking pot is placed in the first cavity, the heating element is configured to be exposed relative to the first cavity so that the heat generated by the heating element can radiate downwards into the first cooking pot to heat the food in the first cooking pot.

[0007] When the second cooking pot is placed in the second cavity, the second cooking pot is configured to be in contact with a part of the heating element so that the heat generated by the heating element can be transferred upward to the second cooking pot to heat the food inside the second cooking pot.

[0008] The aforementioned air fryer has a cover on its main body. The cover is configured to rotate and swing relative to the second cavity, thus forming a structure that allows the second cavity to be opened and closed. When the cover is configured to open the second cavity, the second cavity is configured to be used to place a second cooking pot.

[0009] The aforementioned air fryer has a structure in which the second cavity and the first cavity are vertically connected.

[0010] When the cover is formed to close the second cavity, the cover is formed to shield the heating element without contact, so that the second cavity and the area above the cover are not connected.

[0011] When the cover is formed to open the second cavity, the second cavity is configured to be connected to the upper region of the main body so that the second cavity is open to the top and the heating element is exposed relative to the second cavity. When the second cooking pot is placed in the second cavity through the open structure, the bottom surface of the second cooking pot is in contact with the heating element.

[0012] The aforementioned air fryer also includes an airflow component inside its main body. The airflow component is positioned outside the sidewalls of the first and second cavities and outside the side of the heating element. The airflow component is connected to the first and / or second cavities to provide airflow toward the heating element.

[0013] In the aforementioned air fryer, the airflow component is configured to provide airflow through an airflow port on the main body. The airflow port is configured to be open in the horizontal direction toward the location of the heating element or to be open at an angle upward toward the heating element, so that at least part of the airflow enters the second cavity.

[0014] The aforementioned air fryer is configured such that when the lid is formed to close the second cavity, the lid is also formed to block the airflow entering the second cavity, thereby causing the airflow to change its flow direction after being blocked by the lid and flow downwards towards the heating element.

[0015] The aforementioned air fryer has at least a portion of the sidewall of the second cavity that is inclined in the vertical direction, gradually narrowing from top to bottom toward the middle of the second cavity. This structure guides the airflow in the second cavity to converge and flow downwards, and the airflow flows to the heating element and downwards from the converged flow structure.

[0016] The aforementioned air fryer has at least a portion of the sidewall of the first cavity that is inclined in the vertical direction, gradually expanding from top to bottom towards the outer sidewall of the first cavity, thereby forming a structure that guides the airflow flowing downward through the heating element to diffuse downward.

[0017] The aforementioned air fryer has a support portion provided in the second cavity, and the support portion is positioned outside the heating element so that when the second cooking pot is placed in the second cavity, the support portion is configured to form a support structure that contacts the bottom surface of the second cooking pot.

[0018] Alternatively, a guide portion may be provided on the end face of the cover located inside the second cavity, and the guide portion may be configured to gradually slope downward from the middle position of the second cavity toward the side position, thereby forming a structure that guides the airflow downward.

[0019] The aforementioned air fryer also includes a control module electrically connected to the heating element and the airflow element;

[0020] The control module is used to activate the heating element and the airflow element when the first cooking pot is placed in the first cavity, thereby forming a structure for baking and cooking the food in the first cooking pot.

[0021] The control module is also used to activate the heating element when the second cooking pot is placed in the second cavity, thereby configuring the structure for simmering, steaming, or frying the ingredients in the second cooking pot.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This air fryer design features a second cavity and a first cavity formed in the upper and lower directions of the heating element. These cavities house the second cooking pot and the first cooking pot, respectively, enabling the air fryer to perform multiple functions. The first cooking pot can be used for air-baking, while the second cooking pot can be used for simmering, steaming, or frying. This allows the air fryer to be better suited for different cooking scenarios to meet user needs and greatly enhance the user experience.

[0024] In this solution, the first and second cooking pots can be installed and placed according to the user's needs. In the future, the user can choose to install either the first or second cooking pot to achieve different cooking functions, thereby meeting the user's requirements for the multi-functional use of the air fryer.

[0025] In this design, by setting up a second cavity and a cover, the cover can open and close the second cavity. When the second cavity is closed, it can block the airflow and change the direction of the airflow so that the airflow enters the first cooking pot to bake the food. When the second cavity is open, the second cooking pot can be placed in it and heated by the heating element so that the food in the second cooking pot can be cooked, steamed, or fried, thus achieving the multi-functional use of an air fryer.

[0026] In this solution, the heating element, cover, airflow element, and airflow port can selectively heat either the first or second cooking pot with the heat generated by the heating element. This allows the air fryer to achieve the effect of heating both the first and second cooking pots separately with only one heat source, thus realizing the multi-functional cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0027] In this solution, by setting the structural distribution of the first cavity, the second cavity, and the heating element, only one heating source, the heating element, is needed to heat the first and second cooking pots separately, resulting in different heating effects and thus different cooking effects. The overall cost is lower, the functions are more numerous, and it can better meet the user's needs.

[0028] The structure of the airflow component, airflow port, first chamber, and second chamber in this solution can effectively form a structure to guide airflow, and can effectively guide and gather airflow to the heating component to form hot airflow, thereby guiding the hot airflow to fully enter the first cooking pot to achieve the air-baking cooking effect on the food, resulting in better air-baking effect and more uniform air-baking temperature.

[0034] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0035] Example: The air fryer of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the diagram, this air fryer is designed to be multifunctional. It can not only bake or heat food in the air, but also boil, steam, and fry food. This multifunctional design allows the air fryer to be used in a wider range of scenarios, reducing limitations on its application and enhancing the user experience.

[0036] This invention relates to an air fryer, comprising a main body 1, a heating element 2 disposed within the main body 1, a first cavity 101 disposed below the heating element 2, at least a portion of the first cavity 101 being used to house a first cooking pot 4, and a second cavity 102 disposed above the heating element 2, at least a portion of the second cavity 102 being used to house a second cooking pot 5. Users can choose to install either the first cooking pot 4 or the second cooking pot 5 according to their cooking needs. When the first cooking pot 4 is placed within the first cavity 101, the heating element 2 is configured to be exposed relative to the first cavity 101, allowing the heat generated by the heating element 2 to radiate downwards into the first cooking pot 4, thus heating the food inside the first cooking pot 4. In this working state, the heat generated by the heating element 2 radiates downwards to heat the food. The food is placed in the first cavity 101 and then into the first cooking pot 4 to achieve the cooking and heating effect. When the second cooking pot 5 is placed in the second cavity 102, the second cooking pot 5 is configured to contact a part of the heating element 2, so that the heat generated by the heating element 2 can be transferred upward to the second cooking pot 5 to heat the food inside the second cooking pot 5. At this time, the heat generated by the heating element 2 in the working state is transferred upward to the second cooking pot 5 to achieve the cooking and heating effect. It can be seen that the first cooking pot 4 and the second cooking pot 5 can be installed and placed according to the user's needs. In the future, the first cooking pot 4 or the second cooking pot 5 can be installed in place according to the cooking needs to achieve different cooking functions, thereby meeting the user's requirements for the multi-functional use of the air fryer.

[0037] In this solution, for the structural part where the second cooking pot 5 can be placed inside the second cavity 102, a cover 103 is mainly provided on the main body 1. The cover 103 is configured to be able to rotate and swing relative to the second cavity 102, thus forming a structure that can open and close the second cavity 102. The user can manually operate the cover 103 to rotate and swing, thereby opening or closing the second cavity 102. When the cover 103 is configured to open the second cavity 102, the second cavity 102 is configured to be used to place the second cooking pot 5. When the cover 103 is configured to close the second cavity 102, the second cavity 102 is blocked by the cover 103, preventing the second cooking pot 5 from being placed inside the second cavity 102. At this time, the user can place the first cooking pot 4 in place to cook food. When the second cooking pot 5 is in place, the user can cook the food inside the second cooking pot 5, achieving a multi-functional cooking effect.

[0038] The cover 103 can be fixed after rotation and swing by setting a snap-fit ​​structure on the main body 1 and the cover 103 respectively. For example, when the cover 103 closes the second cavity 102, the cover 103 is snapped onto the main body 1 to form a shielding and closing structure for the second cavity 102.

[0039] The cover 103 is configured to be rotatably and swingably mounted on the main body 1 so that the cover 103 can rotate and swing relative to the second cavity 102.

[0040] In this design, the second cavity 102 and the first cavity 101 are vertically interconnected. The heating element 2 is located between the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102 in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the heating element 2 can be located within either the first cavity 101 or the second cavity 102, but vertically positioned between them. This allows the heat generated by the heating element 2 to radiate upwards or downwards. Specifically, it can radiate downwards into the first cooking pot 4 and upwards into the second cavity 102. When the second cooking pot 5 is placed in the second cavity 102, it forms a structure that allows heat transfer through contact with the second cooking pot 5. This allows for heating the first cooking pot 4 and the second cooking pot 5 separately using a single heating source, i.e., a single heating element 2, thus achieving the multi-functional use of an air fryer at a relatively lower cost.

[0041] In this solution, when the cover 103 is configured to close the second cavity 102, it forms a non-contact shielding structure for the heating element 2, making the second cavity 102 and the upper area of ​​the cover 103 not connected. At this time, the second cavity 102 is not connected to the external space area above it. That is, the upper area of ​​the cover 103 and the second cavity 102 are isolated from each other by the cover 103, making the second cavity 102 an independent space area. The second cavity 102 is connected downward to the first cavity 101. Under this structure, the heat generated by the heating element 2 is located below the cover 103, that is, concentrated in the second cavity 102 and the first cavity 101. The radiant heat of the heating element 2 will be concentrated downward to enter the first cooking pot 4 to heat and cook the food. The radiant heat will not be radiated to the upper outer area of ​​the cover 103 in large quantities, so that the heat can be concentrated in the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102.

[0042] In this design, when the cover 103 is configured to open the second cavity 102, the second cavity 102 is configured to communicate with the upper region of the main body 1, making the second cavity 102 an open structure facing upwards. This open structure allows the second cavity 102 to communicate with the space above it, and the heating element 2 is exposed relative to the second cavity 102. At this time, the upper surface or upper region of the heating element 2 is exposed within the second cavity 102 relative to the open structure. The user can then manually operate the second cooking pot 5. When the second cooking pot 5 is placed in the second cavity 102 through the open structure, the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5 is in contact with the heating element 2. When the second cooking pot 5 is placed under the exposed structure of the heating element 2, the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5 is in contact with the exposed heating element 2, thus forming a contact structure for heat transfer. At this time, when the heating element 2 is started, most of the heat generated by the heating element 2 will be concentrated and transferred to the second cooking pot 5 to heat the food, and a small portion of the heat will radiate downwards into the first cavity 101.

[0043] As can be seen, by setting the structural distribution of the first cavity 101, the second cavity 102 and the heating element 2 in this solution, only the heating element 2 is needed as a heating source to heat the first cooking pot 4 and the second cooking pot 5 respectively, and to form different heating effects, thereby achieving different cooking effects. The overall cost is lower and the functions are more numerous, which can better meet the user's needs.

[0044] In this design, the structure for cooking the food in the first cooking pot 4 also includes an airflow component 3 within the main body 1. The airflow component 3 provides airflow and can be a fan. It is positioned outside the sidewalls of the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102, and outside the side of the heating element 2. This allows the airflow component 3 to provide airflow to the first cavity 101 or the second cavity 102, without being located within the first cavity 101 or the second cavity 102 itself. This guides the airflow to the heating element 2 and ultimately into the first cooking pot 4. The airflow component 3 is connected to the first cavity 101 and / or the second cavity 102 to provide airflow towards the heating element 2. After the airflow from the airflow component 3 enters the first cavity 101 or the second cavity 102, the structure of the first cavity 101, the second cavity 102, and the cover 103 causes the airflow to flow downwards to the heating element 2 for heating, ultimately forming a hot airflow to bake the food in the first cooking pot 4.

[0045] In this solution, the airflow component 3 is configured to provide airflow through an airflow port on the main body 1. The airflow port connects the airflow component 3 to the second cavity 102 or the first cavity 101. The airflow port is configured to be open horizontally towards the location of the heating element 2 or open obliquely upward towards the heating element 2. The open structure allows the airflow generated by the airflow component 3 to enter the airflow port and then enter the second cavity 102, thus forming at least part of the airflow entering the second cavity 102. After entering the second cavity 102, the airflow can be guided downward to the heating element 2 for heating.

[0046] Optionally, the number of air vents can be set to multiple.

[0047] When the airflow is set to be open in the horizontal direction towards the location of the heating element 2, the airflow blown out directly enters the horizontal surface where the heating element 2 is located and is heated by the heating element 2, the heating effect of the airflow is better.

[0048] When the airflow port is set to be an open structure facing upwards at an angle towards the heating element 2, the airflow can directly enter the second cavity 102. Alternatively, the airflow can be set to first flow to the heating element 2 and then flow upwards into the second cavity 102. After being blocked by the cover 103, the flow direction changes and then flows downwards to the heating element 2. This can achieve a step-by-step heating effect on the airflow, thereby forming a secondary heating of the airflow and achieving high temperature and high efficiency of the provided hot airflow.

[0049] In this solution, for the airflow component 3 that provides hot airflow to the first cooking pot 4, when the cover 103 is configured to close the second cavity 102, the cover 103 forms a blocking structure for the airflow entering the second cavity 102. At this time, the cover 103 blocks and closes the open structure of the second cavity 102. Under the blocking structure, when the airflow flows upward, the cover 103 forms a blocking structure for the airflow. Under the blocking structure, the airflow changes its flow direction after being blocked by the cover 103, and flows downward towards the heating element 2. After being blocked by the cover 103, the airflow changes its flow direction, so that the airflow flows downward towards the cover 103 and enters the second cavity 102, and then flows down to the heating element 2, thereby enabling the heating element 2 to heat the airflow to form hot airflow. The hot airflow enters the first cavity 101 and then enters the first cooking pot 4 to bake the food with air.

[0050] In this design, to better guide the hot airflow into the heating element 2 and form a hot airflow, at least a portion of the sidewall of the second cavity 102 is provided with an inclined structure that gradually narrows from top to bottom towards the middle of the second cavity 102 in the vertical direction. After the airflow enters the second cavity 102 through the air outlet, it is blocked by the cover 103, which changes the flow direction and causes it to flow downward. The flowing airflow is guided by the inclined structure of the sidewall of the second cavity 102 to flow in the inclined direction, thereby forming a structure that guides the airflow in the second cavity 102 to flow downward and gather. This creates the effect of the airflow gathering and flowing towards the heating element 2, and the airflow flows to the heating element 2 and flows downward under the gathered flow structure. The gathered flow of airflow converges at the heating element 2 and is concentratedly heated by the heating element 2 to generate a hot airflow. This results in a faster and higher temperature generated hot airflow, which is beneficial to improving the effect of air baking of the food in the first cooking pot 4.

[0051] Optionally, the sidewalls of the second cavity 102 in the annular direction are all configured as an inclined structure that gradually narrows from top to bottom toward the middle of the second cavity 102. This can form a large-scale guiding airflow in the annular direction to gather and flow into the heating element 2, which is conducive to the airflow concentrating and converging at the heating element 2 for concentrated heating of the heated element 2 and thus forming a hot airflow.

[0052] In this design, to better guide the hot airflow into the first cooking pot 4 for air-baking of the food, at least a portion of the sidewall of the first cavity 101 is provided with an inclined structure that gradually expands from top to bottom towards the outer side of the sidewall of the first cavity 101 in the vertical direction. The inclined structure allows the hot airflow to flow along the inclined direction, thereby guiding the airflow flowing downward through the heating element 2 to diffuse downward. When the airflow in the second cavity 102 flows downward to the heating element 2, it is heated by the heating element 2 to form a hot airflow. The hot airflow continues to flow downward into the first cavity 101, and under the guidance of the inclined structure of the sidewall of the first cavity 101, it will form a downward diffusion effect. After diffusion, the hot airflow can achieve a larger range of contact with the food for air-baking, thereby improving the uniform baking effect of the food.

[0053] Optionally, the sidewalls of the first cavity 101 in the circumferential direction are all configured as inclined structures that gradually expand from top to bottom towards the outer sidewall of the first cavity 101. This can form a large-scale guided airflow in the circumferential direction to diffuse into the first cooking pot 4, which is beneficial for the hot airflow to contact the food in the first cooking pot 4 more widely for air baking.

[0054] In this solution, regarding the placement structure of the second cooking pot 5, a support part is provided in the second cavity 102, and the support part is positioned outside the heating element 2 so that when the second cooking pot 5 is placed in the second cavity 102, the support part forms a support structure that contacts the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5. When the cover 103 opens the second cavity 102 and the user places the second cooking pot 5 into the second cavity 102, the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5 is placed on the support part to form a placement structure. After the support part forms a support and limit for the second cooking pot 5, the upper part or upper surface of the heating element 2 contacts the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5 to form a contact heat transfer structure, thereby achieving the heating effect of the second cooking pot 5.

[0055] Optionally, the support is configured as a ring structure, which forms a structure that supports and limits the bottom surface of the second cooking pot 5 in the ring direction.

[0056] Optionally, the support portion is located on the side wall of the second cavity 102 and protrudes towards the heating element 2, and is located on the outer side of the side of the heating element 2, thereby forming a support and limiting structure for the second cooking pot 5.

[0057] In this design, to further enhance the airflow guidance effect and thus improve the air-baking effect on the food, a guide section is provided on the end face of the cover 103 located inside the second cavity 102. The guide section is designed to gradually slope downward from the middle of the second cavity 102 towards the side, thereby guiding the airflow downward. This end face of the cover 103, located inside the second cavity 102, forms a blocking structure for the airflow, causing the airflow direction to change downward. By providing a guide section on this end face to block and guide the airflow, the airflow is guided to flow downward along the outer surface of the inclined structure of the guide section. This helps to create a buffer for the airflow, reducing noise during the airflow direction change process. It also helps the airflow to flow more smoothly downward to the heating element 2 to form a hot airflow. In addition, the structure of the guide section can also reduce the impact force on the cover 103 when the airflow flows upward, preventing the cover 103 from being blown open by the airflow.

[0058] Optionally, the guide section is configured as an annular structure, which can be configured as a square annular structure or a circular annular structure according to the shape of the cover 103, so as to block the airflow in the annular direction and guide the airflow to flow downward.

[0059] This solution also includes a control module 6 that is electrically connected to the heating element 2 and the airflow element 3. The control module 6 is mainly used to control the working state of the heating element 2 and the airflow element 3. The control module 6 can execute the corresponding function mode according to the user's function selection in order to meet the user's usage needs.

[0060] The control module 6 is used to enable the heating element 2 and the airflow element 3 to work when the first cooking pot 4 is placed in the first cavity 101, thereby forming a structure for baking and cooking the food in the first cooking pot 4. Specifically, when the user places the first cooking pot 4 in place, the user can start the first cooking mode. In the first cooking mode, the control module 6 will control the heating element 2 and the airflow element 3 to start working to air-fry the food in the first cooking pot 4, that is, air-bake.

[0061] The control module 6 is also used to activate the heating element 2 when the second cooking pot 5 is placed in the second cavity 102, thereby enabling the cooking of the ingredients in the second cooking pot 5 through boiling, steaming, or frying. Specifically, when the user places the second cooking pot 5 in place, the user can start the second cooking mode. In the second cooking mode, the control module 6 will control the heating element 2 to start working to boil, steam, or fry the ingredients in the second cooking pot 5. The heating element 2 heats the second cooking pot 5, and the user can add ingredients, water, etc., to the second cooking pot 5 as needed, thereby enabling boiling, steaming, or frying cooking in the second cooking pot 5, which can meet the user's different cooking needs.

[0062] Optionally, the second cooking pot 5 can be set as a soup pot, frying pan, etc., according to the user's needs. It can be an uncoated stainless steel pot or a non-stick pot.

[0063] In this design, the heating element 2 is a ring-shaped coiled heating tube. During the flow of air, the air can be heated by the heat generated by the heating tube to form a hot airflow. The hot airflow is then used to bake or air-fry the food in the first cooking pot 4.

[0064] In this design, a placement opening can be provided on the side of the front part of the main body 1. The first cooking pot 4 can be placed into the first cavity 101 through the placement opening for installation, or the first cooking pot 4 can be removed through the placement opening, thus realizing a detachable structure for the first cooking pot 4.

[0065] This solution's air fryer offers versatility, making it suitable for a wider range of scenarios, such as in the kitchen or outdoor picnics. With just one air fryer, you can achieve cooking effects such as air baking, simmering, steaming, and frying.

[0066] For any aspects not covered in this solution, existing technologies can be used or referenced.

[0067] Working Principle: This air fryer, through the arrangement of a heating element 2, a first cavity 101, a second cavity 102, a lid 103, an airflow element 3, and other related structural components and their positional distribution, allows the user to choose to place either the first cooking pot 4 or the second cooking pot 5 according to their cooking needs. The lid 103 controls the opening and closing of the second cavity 102. When the lid 103 opens the second cavity 102, the second cooking pot 5 can be placed inside. Combined with the heating element 2 and the airflow element 3, this ensures that when the first cooking pot 4 is in place, heat is generated. The airflow bakes the food in the first cooking pot 4, allowing the second cooking pot 5 to be used for cooking, steaming, or frying when placed in position. This satisfies the user's multi-functional needs for the air fryer, and the overall cost is low. Only one heating element 2 is needed to heat the first cooking pot 4 and the second cooking pot 5 respectively. The multi-functional cooking effect greatly expands the application scenarios of the air fryer, making it suitable for different cooking needs and greatly improving the user experience.

[0068] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of the present utility model. In practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, and all such changes are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
